Scheid Vineyards Inc. Reports 3rd Quarter Results
Mike Thomsen, Chief Financial Officer, reports, "Losses from continuingoperations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 totaled $1.6 million($1.54 per share), compared to a loss of $1.6 million ($1.60 per share) forthe same period in 2006. Early in 2007, the Company sold a 360-acre vineyard,resulting in a one-time gain of $4.2 million. After reflecting the gain onthe vineyard sale, taxes on the gain, and other non-operational items, netincome for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.1 million($1.10 per share), compared to a net loss of $1.0 million ($1.00 per share) in2006."
Mr. Thomsen continued, "Revenues for the nine months ended September 30,2007 increased to $19.2 million from $15.6 million for the same period in 2006(23%). This increase was driven primarily by sales of bulk wine and otherrevenues generated by the Company's winery. These increases were partiallyoffset by a decrease in grape sales, primarily because the Company converted80% of its third quarter grape production into bulk wine in 2007, as comparedto only 38% in the third quarter of 2006."
Looking at the 2007 harvest as a whole, Mr. Thomsen stated, "The Company's2007 harvest was completed in early November. Yields in the Company'svineyards, and throughout the state of California, were lower than those of2006 and 2005. These lower yields and the sale of the 360-acre vineyard,combined to decrease the 2007 harvest to 17,000 tons, as compared to22,800 tons in 2006, a 25% reduction."
