Exhibit 99.1

Turning Point Brands Announces Third Quarter 2020 Results, Increases 2020 Guidance

LOUISVILLE, KY. (October 27, 2020) - Turning Point Brands, Inc. (“TPB”) (NYSE: TPB), a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products with active ingredients, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Results at a Glance

Third Quarter 2020

(Comparisons vs. same period year-ago)

Net sales increased 7.6% to $104.2 million;
Gross profit increased 12.8% to $48.3 million;
--- ---
Net income increased $1.5 million to $7.8 million despite PMTA costs incurred during the current quarter;
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA increased 27.4% to $23.9 million (see Schedule A for a reconciliation to net income);
--- ---
Diluted EPS of $0.40 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.75 as compared to $0.31 and $0.61 in the year-ago period, respectively (see Schedule B for a reconciliation to Diluted EPS);
--- ---

“Streamlining and repositioning the business at the end of 2019 has paid dividends throughout 2020. Smokeless saw continued same store sales momentum in MST and newfound strength in loose leaf chewing tobacco. Smoking (Zig-Zag) saw its highest growth rate in recent history driven by product and channel growth initiatives behind rolling papers, the benefits of greater control of our MYO cigar wraps business after the Durfort transaction closed in the second quarter, and a burgeoning e-commerce presence. The NewGen segment navigated admirably through significant market disruption caused by the PMTA application deadline,” said Larry Wexler, President and CEO. “Overall, we are seeing ongoing benefits from re-shaping our business towards a more growth-oriented mindset and are able to raise our outlook once again for the remainder of the fiscal year.”

Recent Events

As detailed in a separate press release, TPB today announced a $15 million strategic investment in leading global cannabinoid company dosist™ and an exclusive co-development and distribution agreement of a new national CBD brand, created in partnership with dosist’s thc-free business unit. Additionally, TPB has an option to invest another $15 million at pre-determined terms within the next 12 months. TPB has been issued a warrant to receive preferred shares of dosist that will automatically be exercised upon a change in federal laws in the United States to reschedule or deschedule cannabis and/or permit its general cultivation, distribution and possession. As part of this agreement, TPB will also have an option to fill a seat on the board of directors of dosist upon legalization.

On October 5, 2020, TPB announced the acquisition of a 20% stake in Wild Hempettes LLC (“Wild Hempettes”), a leading manufacturer of hemp cigarettes under the WildHemp™ and Hempettes™ brands, with options to increase its stake to a 100% ownership position based on certain milestones. As part of the transaction, TPB will be the exclusive distributor of Hempettes™ to U.S. bricks and mortar retailers.

On October 1, 2020, TPB sold the assets of its remaining owned retail stores in Oklahoma. As consideration for the transaction, TPB will receive a royalty from the acquiror, while also receiving rights to market and test products in the stores on a quarterly basis. Year-to-date sales and gross profit for those stores was $2.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. This transaction continues our efforts to streamline the NewGen segment, as part of our announcement in the fourth quarter 2019 for the exploration of strategic alternatives for the third-party vaping distribution business.

On September 8, 2020, TPB announced it had submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Premarket Tobacco Applications (“PMTAs”) covering 250 products, an important and necessary step for TPB to offer adult consumers an extensive portfolio of products that serve as alternatives to combustible cigarettes and satisfy a wide variety of consumer preferences. The PMTAs covered a broad assortment of products in the vapor category including multiple proprietary e-liquid offerings in varying nicotine strengths, technologies and sizes; proprietary replacement parts and components of open system tank devices through partnerships with two leading manufacturers for exclusive distribution of products in the United States; and a closed system e-cigarette. The PMTAs provided clarity to customers and retail partners of TPB’s continued support behind products across multiple leading brands including Solace™, VaporFi®, South Beach Smoke™, HorizonTech®, FreeMaX® and other developing brands and partnerships.

Smokeless Products Segment (29% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the third quarter, Smokeless products net sales increased 13.7% to $29.8 million on double-digit growth of MST and loose leaf chewing tobacco. MST represented 59% of Smokeless revenues in the quarter, up from 58% a year earlier. In the quarter, total Smokeless segment volume increased 10.3% and price/mix advanced 3.4%.

“MST continued to gain market momentum driven by strong same store sales growth despite a tough comparable. The outlook continues to be bright for this product line with increasing consumer acceptance and further distribution gains,” said Graham Purdy, Chief Operating Officer. “Our loose leaf chewing tobacco business saw accelerated growth during the quarter as targeted selling initiatives that began earlier in the year led to meaningful year-over-year market share growth according to MSAi.”

Turning Point Brands, Inc. www.turningpointbrands.com ir@tpbi.com 502.774.9238

For the quarter, Smokeless segment gross profit increased 18.1% to $16.0 million. Segment gross margin expanded 200 basis points to 53.9% primarily as a result of strong incremental margin contribution of MST.

Smoking Products Segment (34% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the third quarter, net sales of Smoking products increased 19.0% to $36.0 million. Growth was driven by double-digit advances in US rolling papers and MYO cigar wraps. This more than offset a $2.0 million decline in our Canadian papers business which compared against an inventory load-in during last year’s third quarter. Non-focus cigars and MYO pipe declined $0.3 million. In the quarter, total Smoking segment volume increased 18.0% while price/mix increased 1.0%.

“This segment of the business is benefitting from new product introductions and channel-specific sales efforts that are expanding market share and better aligning our growth to cannabis consumption trends. While increased consumption related to COVID-19 benefitted our US rolling papers business, we were encouraged to see our volumes grow significantly above the industry growth rate during the quarter. Our emerging e-commerce business demonstrated strong progress with sales roughly doubling from the previous quarter,” said Purdy. “In addition, post-the Durfort transaction, we now have a stronger and more direct working relationship with our MYO cigar wrap manufacturer which is enabling us to ramp production better to align with consumer demand.”

For the quarter, Smoking products gross profit increased 27.9% to $21.3 million. Segment gross margin expanded 410 basis points to 59.1% as a result of increased US rolling paper sales and increased margin in MYO cigar sales as a result of the Durfort transaction.

NewGen (New Generation) Products Segment (37% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the third quarter, NewGen segment net sales decreased 4.8% to $38.4 million. Flat performance in our vape distribution business and double-digit growth from Solace and other Nu-X products was offset by a decline in RipTide which compared against a trade load-in during its launch in the prior year period.

“Our NewGen business performed in-line with our expectations as the business managed through a challenging competitive environment created by the PMTA deadline with competitors liquidating inventories in anticipation of exiting the market. The recent sale of the remaining Vapor Shark stores continues the streamlining of the segment,” said Purdy. “While we still expect short-term disruption related to the PMTA process to impact our fourth quarter, the extensive portfolio of products submitted through the PMTA process has us increasingly optimistic about our outlook going forward as the market consolidates.”

Turning Point Brands, Inc. www.turningpointbrands.com ir@tpbi.com 502.774.9238

For the quarter, NewGen gross profit decreased 12.8% to $11.0 million. Segment gross margin decreased 260 basis points to 28.6% primarily due to temporary pricing pressure as competitors liquidated inventories and inventory reserves. Third quarter 2020 included $2.3 million of tariff expense compared to $2.6 million a year-ago.

Other Events and Performance Measures in the Third Quarter

Third quarter consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $32.3 million compared to $29.8 million in 2019 with the increase primarily due to non-recurring PMTA-related expenses incurred during the quarter as detailed below.

The third quarter had notable non-recurring impacts:

$5.3 million of FDA PMTA-related expenses as compared to $0.2 million in the year-ago period; and
$0.6 million of transaction expenses principally related to M&A activity as compared to $0.5 million in the year-ago period.
--- ---

The third quarter also included a $1.2 million non-cash charge within net periodic costs related to the termination of our defined benefit pension plan in 2019. We received net $1.7 million of cash related to the termination of the plan.

Total gross debt as of September 30, 2020, was $328.0 million. The corresponding net debt (total gross debt less cash) at September 30, 2020 was $260.6 million. The company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $113.8 million comprising $67.4 million of cash and $46.4 million of revolving credit facility capacity.

During the quarter, the company repurchased 82,097 shares at an average price of $28.95.

2020 Outlook Update

Taking into account the strength we have seen thus far this year and expected near-term volatility within our NewGen segment, we revise our guidance provided on July 28, 2020 as follows:

Absent any further acquisitions, the company projects 2020 net sales to be $395 to $401 million (up from previous guidance of $370 to $382 million). We project 2020 Adjusted EBITDA of $87 million to $90 million (up from previous guidance of $78 to $83 million).

Stock compensation and non-cash incentive expense in 2020 is projected to be $2.8 million.

4
Turning Point Brands, Inc. www.turningpointbrands.com ir@tpbi.com 502.774.9238

The company spent a total of $16.6 million on the PMTA process, in-line with previous guidance of $16 to $18 million. This is inclusive of $2.2 million spent in 2019 and $14.4 million in the first three quarters of 2020.

Cash interest expense is projected to be $12 million and GAAP interest expense includes $7 million of debt discount amortization equal to the fair value of the equity components over the expected life of the 2024 convertible notes.

The company expects the 2020 effective income tax rate to be 23% to 24%.

Capital expenditures for 2020 are anticipated to be approximately $6 million (up from previous guidance of $4 to $6 million) as we have accelerated certain capital expenditure projects due to temporary tax code incentives.

Net Sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 are expected to be $95 to $101 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, we use non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Adjusted Operating Income. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Adjusted Operating Income are used by management to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and are presented to our board of directors. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income are appropriate measures of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance.

We define “EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items and other items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted diluted EPS” as diluted earnings per share excluding items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted Operating Income” as operating income excluding depreciation, amortization, LIFO, other non-cash items and other items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance.

Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate this non-U.S. GAAP measure differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

In accordance with SEC rules, we have provided, in the supplemental information attached, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the next directly comparable GAAP measures.
