Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc. reported weaker results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026. Six‑month net sales were $18.3 million, up slightly from 2025, but higher product costs reduced gross margin to 59.1% from 61.9%.

Cost of sales rose by $728,019 year over year, and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.39 million, largely due to a higher allowance for credit losses of about $1.1 million tied to Republic National Distributing Company’s Chapter 11 filing. As a result, the six‑month net loss widened to $1.95 million, and loss applicable to common shareholders was $3.17 million, or $(0.64) per share.

Despite the loss, operating cash flow improved to $2.75 million, helped by lower receivables, lower inventories and higher accounts payable. Total assets were $102.9 million, with total liabilities of $36.5 million and redeemable preferred stock of $46.7 million. Long‑term debt with AgWest totaled $14.7 million, and the $4.0 million credit line with Columbia Bank had a $634,842 balance.

Positive

  • Operating cash flow turned positive to $2.75 million for the first six months of 2026, compared with a small outflow in 2025, supported by lower receivables, lower inventories and higher accounts payable.
  • Line of credit usage decreased sharply, with the outstanding balance falling from $3.14 million at December 31, 2025 to $634,842 at June 30, 2026, while the facility was renewed at $4.0 million.

Negative

  • Profitability deteriorated materially: six‑month net loss increased by $1.32 million to $1.95 million, and loss applicable to common shareholders rose to $3.17 million, or $(0.64) per share.
  • Gross margin compressed, with gross profit as a percentage of net sales falling from 61.9% to 59.1% for the six‑month period, driven by higher product costs.
  • RNDC bankruptcy triggered a significant credit reserve: the company increased its allowance for credit losses by approximately $1.1 million related to specific Republic National Distributing Company territories.

Filing Explained

As of June 30, the $1.75 million preferred offering had produced no proceeds; 270,000 common shares remained issuable under awards.

As a Form 10-Q, this filing provides unaudited interim financial statements and liquidity updates; as of June 30, 2026, the newly described preferred-stock offering remained proposed capacity rather than a completed financing.

On June 26, 2026, the company filed a prospectus supplement proposing up to $1.75 million of Series A redeemable preferred stock under its 2025 shelf registration; a shelf registration creates capacity for future sales, not a sale itself.

The filing reports no net proceeds from that offering as of June 30, 2026, so it does not establish that the offering had produced cash by the balance-sheet date.

Separately, 270,000 common shares were issuable under outstanding 2025 Plan awards at June 30, 2026, while 4,979,529 common shares were issued and outstanding.

If those awards are issued, they would increase the total common-share count and, absent offsetting changes, reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership.

The Columbia Bank line was renewed in July 2026 for $4 million; $634,842 was outstanding at June 30, 2026, and the prior covenant violation remains waived until the next measurement date of December 31, 2026.

The June 26 supplement remains the reference point for later proceeds disclosure, while December 31, 2026 is the next stated covenant measurement date.

Allowance increase for credit losses approximately $1,100,000 Reserve increase related to RNDC territories after Chapter 11 filing
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock financial
"up to 1,343,284 shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock having proceeds"
allowance for credit losses financial
"and increased its allowance for credit losses by approximately $1.1 million"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
operating lease right-of-use assets financial
"Operating lease right of use assets | | | 10,383,516"
An operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset is an accounting entry that shows the value of a leased item you have the legal right to use—like a building, vehicle, or equipment—recorded on a company’s balance sheet along with the corresponding lease obligation. Investors care because it adds to reported assets and liabilities, changing measures like leverage and return on assets much like bringing a long-term rental onto the company’s financial snapshot, which can affect credit terms and valuation.
contribution margin financial
"and contribution margin of the segments for the three and six month periods"
Contribution margin is the amount of money left from a product’s sale after paying the costs that rise with each unit sold (like materials or hourly labor); it can be shown per unit or as a percentage of the sale price. Investors care because it shows how much each sale contributes to covering fixed expenses and generating profit — think of each sale as a slice of pie where the contribution margin is the slice available to pay the rent and add to earnings.
shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 regulatory
"filed a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 pertaining to the potential future issuance"
A shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is a pre-approved filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that lets an eligible public company register securities in advance and sell them later in one or more offerings without repeating the full registration process. Think of it like a pre-approved funding line: it gives management the flexibility to raise capital quickly when market conditions are right, a move that can affect share supply, dilution and investor returns, so investors monitor it as a signal of potential financing activity.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements. The financial information as of December 31, 2025 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal recurring nature) for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2026, or any portion thereof.

 

The Company’s revenues include direct to consumer sales and national sales to distributors. These sales channels utilize shared resources for production, selling, and distribution.

 

Basic loss per share after preferred stock dividends are computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding each period.

 

The following table presents the earnings per share after preferred stock dividends calculation for the periods shown:

4) DEBT

 

Line of Credit Facility – In December of 2005, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Columbia Bank (the "Credit Agreement") that allows borrowing against eligible accounts receivable and inventories, as defined in the agreement. The revolving line bears interest at prime less 0.5% with a floor of 7.0%, is payable monthly, and is subject to renewal. In July 2026 the line of credit was renewed for $4,000,000. The Company had an outstanding line of credit balance of $634,842 at June 30, 2026, at an interest rate of 7.0%, and an outstanding line of credit balance of $3,140,140 at December 31, 2025, at an interest rate of 7.0%.

 

The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, which among other things, requires the Company to maintain minimum amounts of tangible net worth, debt-to-equity, and debt service coverage, as defined, and limits the level of acquisitions of property and equipment. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was out of compliance with a debt covenant. The Company has received a waiver from Columbia Bank waiving this violation until the next measurement date of December 31, 2026.

 

Notes Payable – In February 2017, the Company purchased property, including vineyard land, bare land, and structures in the Dundee Hills American Viticultural Area (AVA) under terms that included a 15 year note payable with quarterly payments of $42,534, bearing interest at 6%. The note may be called by the owner, up to the outstanding balance, with 180 days written notice. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a balance of $825,152 due on this note. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a balance of $884,221 due on this note.

 

Long-Term Debt – The Company has four long term debt agreements with AgWest with an aggregate outstanding balance of $14,686,418 and $15,184,395 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The first two outstanding loans require monthly principal and interest payments of $62,067 for the life of the loans, at annual fixed interest rates of 4.75% and 5.21%, and with maturity dates of 2028 and 2032, respectively. These loans are collateralized against the property on the main estate in Salem. The third loan requires monthly principal and interest payments of $87,989 at an annual interest rate of 6.66%, and with a maturity date of 2039. The fourth loan allows borrowings up to $4,350,000 against property defined in the agreement. The line of credit bears interest at 7.10% and has a maturity date of April 1, 2027. The general purposes of these loans were to make capital improvements to the winery and vineyard facilities.

5) INTEREST AND TAXES PAID

 

Income taxes – The Company paid $15,828 in income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $45,000 in income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company paid $15,828 in income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and $45,000 in income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Interest – The Company paid $287,136 and $267,696 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in interest on debt and the line of credit. The Company paid $487,928 and $495,801 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in interest on debt and the line of credit.

 

6) SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company has identified two operating segments, Direct Sales and Distributor Sales, based upon their different distribution channels, margins and selling strategies. Direct Sales include retail sales in the tasting rooms, wine club sales, internet sales, on-site events, kitchen and catering sales and other sales made directly to the consumer without the use of an intermediary, including sales of bulk wine or grapes. Distributor Sales include all sales through a third party where prices are given at a wholesale rate.

 

The two segments reflect how the Company’s operations are evaluated by senior management and the structure of its internal financial reporting. The Company evaluates performance based on the gross profit of the respective business segments. Selling expenses that can be directly attributable to the segment, including depreciation of segment specific assets, are included, however, centralized selling expenses and general and administrative expenses are not allocated between operating segments. Therefore, net income (loss) information for the respective segments is not available. Discrete financial information related to segment assets, other than segment specific depreciation associated with selling, is not available and that information continues to be aggregated.

 

The following table outlines the sales, cost of sales, gross profit, directly attributable selling expenses, and contribution margin of the segments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Sales figures are net of related excise taxes.

Shareholders have the option to receive dividends as cash or as a gift card for purchasing Company products. The amount of unused dividend gift cards at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $1,635,557 and $2,031,377, respectively, and is recorded as unearned revenue on the balance sheets. Revenue from gift cards is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by a customer. When the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed by a customer is determined to be remote and the Company expects to be entitled to the breakage, then the value of the unredeemed gift card is recognized as revenue. We determine the gift card breakage rate based upon Company-specific historical redemption patterns. To date we have determined that no breakage should be recognized related to our gift cards.

 

Dividends accrued but not paid will be added to the liquidation preference of the stock until the dividend is declared and paid. At any time after June 1, 2021, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, to redeem all of the outstanding preferred stock in an amount equal to the original issue price plus accrued but unpaid dividends and a redemption premium equal to 3% of the original issue price.

9) LEASES

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. On our condensed balance sheets, our operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets (ROU), Current portion of lease liabilities, and Lease liabilities, net of current portion. The Company does not currently have any finance leases.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Significant judgment may be required when determining whether a contract contains a lease, the length of the lease term, the allocation of the consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components, and the determination of the discount rate included in our leases. We review the underlying objective of each contract, the terms of the contract, and consider our current and future business conditions when making these judgments.

10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation – From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company is a party to legal proceedings. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, but, due to the nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome of any potential actions cannot presently be determined.

 

Distributor Bankruptcy and Subsequent Reserve Adjustment – On July 26, 2026, Republic National Distributing Company (“RNDC”), a distributor of the Company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Following this filing, the Company evaluated the collectability of receivables associated with the specific RNDC territories identified in the bankruptcy petition and increased its allowance for credit losses by approximately $1.1 million. This targeted reserve reflects management’s estimate of expected credit losses related to those territories.

 

The Company is in the process of transitioning all distributor relationships in the affected markets and based on current plans and contracted partners, does not anticipate any long-term disruption to its ability to distribute products effectively. 

 

Grape Purchases – The Company has entered into long-term grape purchase agreements with a number of Willamette Valley wine grape growers. With these agreements the Company purchases an annually agreed upon quantity of fruit, at pre-determined prices, within strict quality standards and crop loads. The Company cannot calculate the minimum or maximum payment as such a calculation is dependent in large part on unknowns such as the quantity of fruit needed by the Company and the availability of grapes produced that meet the strict quality standards in any given year. If no grapes are produced that meet the contractual quality levels, the grapes may be refused, and no payment would be due.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, and beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates”, “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” or “will” or the negative thereof and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to: availability of financing for growth, availability of adequate supply of high quality grapes, successful performance of internal operations, impact of competition, changes in wine broker or distributor relations or performance, impact of possible adverse weather conditions, impact of reduction in grape quality or supply due to disease or smoke from forest fires, changes in consumer spending, and the reduction in consumer demand for premium wines. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general domestic economic conditions. Many of these risks as well as other risks that may have a material adverse impact on our operations and business, are identified in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as in the Company’s other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports. The forward-looking statements in this report are made as of the date hereof, and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why the actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The foregoing discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, collection of accounts receivable, valuation of inventories, and amortization of vineyard development costs. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Such policies were unchanged during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Overview

 

The Company, one of the largest wine producers in Oregon by volume, believes its success is dependent upon its ability to: (1) grow and purchase high quality vinifera wine grapes; (2) vinify the grapes into premium, super premium and ultra-premium wine; (3) achieve significant brand recognition for its wines, first in Oregon, and then nationally and internationally; (4) effectively distribute and sell its products nationally; and (5) continue to build on its base of direct to consumer sales.

 

The Company’s goal is to continue to build on a reputation for producing some of Oregon’s finest, most sought-after wines. The Company has focused on positioning itself for strategic growth through property purchases, property development and issuance of the Company’s Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). Management expects near term financial results to be negatively impacted by these activities as a result of incurring costs of accrued preferred stock dividends, strategic planning and development costs and other growth associated costs.

 

The Company’s wines are made from grapes grown in vineyards owned, leased or contracted by the Company, and from grapes purchased from other vineyards. The grapes are harvested, fermented and made into wine primarily at the Company’s winery in Turner, Oregon (the “Winery”) and the wines are sold principally under the Company’s Willamette Valley Vineyards label, but also under the Griffin Creek, Pambrun, Elton, Maison Bleue, Metis, Natoma, Pere Ami, Domaine Willamette and Tualatin Estates labels. The Company also owns the Tualatin Estate Vineyards and Winery, located near Forest Grove, Oregon and the Domaine Willamette Winery located near Dundee, Oregon. The Company generates revenues from the sales of wine to wholesalers and direct to consumers.

14

 

Direct to consumer sales primarily include sales through the Company’s tasting rooms, telephone, internet and wine club. Direct to consumer sales are at a higher unit price than sales through distributors due to prices received being closer to retail than those prices paid by wholesalers. The Company continues to emphasize growth in direct to consumer sales through the Company’s existing tasting rooms and the opening of new locations, and growth in wine club membership. Additionally, the Company’s Preferred Stock sales since August 2015 have resulted in approximately 21,381 new preferred stockholders many of which the Company believes are wine enthusiasts that are current and potential customers of the Company.

 

Periodically, the Company will sell grapes or bulk wine, due to them not meeting Company standards or being in excess of production targets, however this is not a significant part of the Company’s activities.

 

The Company sold 87,655 and 80,489 cases of produced wine during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of 7,166 cases, or 8.9% in the current year period over the prior year period. The increase in wine case sales was the result of increased case sales through distributors.

 

Cost of sales includes grape costs, whether purchased or grown at Company vineyards, winemaking and processing costs, bottling, packaging, warehousing, and shipping and handling costs. For grapes grown at Company vineyards, costs include farming expenditures and amortization of vineyard development costs.

 

At June 30, 2026, wine inventory included 165,930 cases of bottled wine and 523,103 gallons of bulk wine in various stages of the aging process. Case wine is expected to be sold over the next 12 to 24 months and generally before the release date of the next vintage. The Winery bottled 67,212 cases during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Willamette Valley Vineyards continues to receive positive recognition through national magazines, regional publications, local newspapers and online bloggers including the accolades below. 

 

The tasting room at the Company’s Estate Winery in the Salem Hills, Oregon was awarded the Best Wine Tasting Room in the country by USA Today in their 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards for the third consecutive year. The Company was also awarded the #1 Best Wine Club in the nation by USA Today.

This decrease was caused by a decrease in direct sales of $262,493, partly offset by an increase in sales through distributors of $103,005 in the current year three-month period over the prior year period. The decrease in revenue from direct sales was primarily related to lower outpost sales.

In December of 2005, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Columbia Bank (the "Credit Agreement") that allows borrowing against eligible accounts receivable and inventories, as defined in the agreement. The revolving line bears interest at prime less 0.5% with a floor of 7.0%, is payable monthly, and is subject to renewal. In July 2026 the line of credit was renewed for $4,000,000. The Company had an outstanding line of credit balance of $634,842 at June 30, 2026, at an interest rate of 7.0%, and an outstanding line of credit balance of $3,140,140 at December 31, 2025, at an interest rate of 7.0%.

 

The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, which among other things, requires the Company to maintain minimum amounts of tangible net worth, debt-to-equity, and debt service coverage, as defined, and limits the level of acquisitions of property and equipment.

The Company has received a waiver from Columbia Bank waiving this violation until the next measurement date of December 31, 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a total long-term debt balance of $15,184,395, exclusive of debt issuance costs of $158,837.
