Treasury Wine Estates announces $395 million charge for U.S. restructuring
Treasury Wine Estates, the Melbourne-based owner of luxury brand Penfolds, has announced an expected A$558.4 million ($394.5 million) post-tax charge for 2026. This is part of a strategic overhaul of its Americas business driven by soft demand and excess supply-chain capacity.
The impairment includes a non-cash write-down of U.S.-based assets and brand impairments for DAOU, Frank Family Vineyards, and Beaulieu Vineyard. The company also intends to write down inventory, primarily bulk wine, which will be managed through sales and internal reclassification.
Despite the significant charges, which bring total U.S. asset impairments to approximately A$1.33 billion, the company's shares rose following an upgraded fiscal 2026 earnings outlook. Treasury Wine Estates expects unaudited EBITS for 2026 to reach A$492.3 million, exceeding its previous guidance range.
