- Net loss narrowed to $2.3 million from a loss of $5.7 million in 2021.
- As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $3.6 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Commenting on the results, Scott Mathis, Chief Executive Officer of Gaucho Holdings, stated, "We are delighted to end 2021 on a strong a note, particularly with respect to growing investor interest in our luxury Algodon Wine Estates in Mendoza, Argentina. Like so many other companies across the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on our operations, including our Argentina operations, which were especially impacted due to international travel restrictions that lasted until November. Despite this, we still generated more than $4.1 million in revenue from the sale of lots at Algodon Wine Estates in Mendoza, Argentina. We are anticipating being able to recognize revenue for additional lot sales in 2022, and as the world continues to rebound from the pandemic, we are optimistic that we may continue to see meaningful growth there.
"We continue to build on many of the foundational elements we announced throughout 2021. In December, we unveiled the newly revised master plan for Algodon Wine Estates. This new plan includes the development of an additional 200 lots (in addition to the estate's exiting 350 lots), which could ultimately contribute to upwards of $100 million in revenue. As we've previously noted, the centerpiece of the new master plan is expected to be an ultra-luxury 80-room hotel, that will also include 40-60 residences, for which Algodon Wine Estates seeks to co-develop with a world class luxury hospitality brand. Additionally, we made significant investments in our Las Vegas project to further expand opportunities in lodging, hospitality, retail and gaming, and we look forward to further announcements on this project as the year progresses. We also continue to make progress towards the opening of our fashion and leather accessories brand's U.S. flagship retail location in Miami's Design District.
"Since the start of the new year, Gaucho - Buenos Aires™ has launched new statement pieces and leather accessories, launched our home and living collection, Gaucho Casa, welcomed a new Director of Design, Lautaro Garcia de la Peña, and debuted its Fall 2022 collection during New York Fashion Week. We continue to move forward on each of these fronts, and more, and we look forward to an exciting 2022 and beyond."
