On February 9, 2023, VWE reported preliminary results for the Company's second fiscal quarter. Among other items, VWE reported expected revenue of only $81 million, significantly below consensus estimates of $86.47 million. VWE also announced that previously issued financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 would need to be restated due to "the misclassification and accounting for certain assets and also the timing of recording certain costs." The restated results are expected to result in a $700,000 increase in net revenue, but a $2.9 million increase in the cost of goods sold. As such, earnings per share for the quarter have been cut to $0 from a prior report of $0.02. Finally, VWE announced that founder and Chief Executive Officer Pat Roney will shift from his current role to the position of Executive Chairman and that the Company had retained a "corporate strategy and acquisition integration advisor" to aid in restructuring its business."
On this news, VWE's stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on February 9, 2023.
