Truett - Hurst, Inc.’s Strategy ― W orld - class global wine production and distribution company ― Leverage our innovation and design to deliver sustainable profitable growth, revenue expansion and free cash flow ― Reinvest in new profitable growth initiatives 4

 
 

Out - of - Date Paper Boy Product • Paper Boy has a more limited shelf life than our other products; in January we were notified that certain Paper Boy wines were past their shelf life and had partially oxidized (not a health hazard) • We notified distributors that unsold Paper Boy stock was past its recommended shelf life and should be destroyed • We have taken a $0.6 million loss contingency accrual in connection with our efforts to assist with addressing out - of - date inventory • We have reviewed our inventory and have written off the expired Paper Boy finished goods inventory in our warehouse in the amount of $0.2 million • Subsequent to this issue, but unrelated to the shelf life expiration, we have determined that the latest generation paper bottle does not meet our quality standards. Until the manufacturer can consistently produce bottles that meet our standards we are not able to produce new Paper Boy inventory • Sales of Paper Boy represented less than 8% of net sales in FY14 and less than 1% of year to date net sales in FY15 5

BUSINESS UPDATE

 
 

2014 Wine Market Conditions 14 • 82% of wineries reported overall financial health of “good” or better for 2014 . This is up 7% over the previous year . This trend is expected to continue as the grapes from three strong harvests (2012 , 2013 , and 2014) make their way into the market. • Wine sales continue to be dominated by the Baby Boomer generation contributing to 44% of all sales with Gen - X’ers coming in at 29%. Three year trends indicate little change amongst the generational buyers in the market today . • Only 36 % of California wineries reported a measurable affect from the 2014 California drought with the most significant issues being felt in the Central Valley , CA , Central Coast , CA , and Sierra Foothill , CA regions.
