Eastside Distilling (NASDAQ:EAST) stock is falling on Monday after releasing its fourth-quarter earnings report after markets closed on Friday.

That report starts off with the company’s earnings per share coming in at -62 cents. That’s far worse than the -17 cents per share Wall Street had expected for the quarter. Things also turned south with Eastside’s revenue.

Eastside Distilling reported revenue of $2.31 million for Q4 2022. That’s bad news for EAST stock, considering that analysts were expecting revenue of $3.66 million for the quarter. Revenue also represented a drop from the $2.6 million reported during the same period last year.

What the Future Holds for EAST Stock

Geoffrey Gwin, CEO of Eastside Distilling, said the following in the company’s earnings report:

“We made substantial progress in improving our business and are reaching news milestones in digital printing, while we continue to implement key restructuring initiatives in our spirits business. I expect meaningful improvements in our performance in 2023.”

Investors don’t seem to be buying Gwin’s enthusiasm today. The spirit company’s shares are down 25.7% in pre-market trading following the report. That wipes out a good portion of EAST stock’s gains so far this year.
