Graham Purdy, President and CEO, commented, “Our consolidated third quarter results exceeded expectations. Modern Oral sales were $36.7 million, increasing by 22% versus the prior quarter and 628% over the prior year. In addition, we now expect to qualify our first U.S. white pouch production lines in the first half of 2026.”

Stokers Products Segment (63% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the third quarter, Stoker’s segment net sales increased 80.8% from the prior year to $74.8 million, driven by strong growth in Modern Oral sales, mid-single-digit growth in MST and low-single-digit growth in looseleaf.

Stoker’s segment gross profit increased 95.2% from the prior year and 3.5% sequentially to $45.0 million. Gross margin increased 440 basis points from the prior year to 60.2%.


Zig-Zag Products Segment (37% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the third quarter, Zig-Zag segment net sales decreased 10.5% from the prior year and 6.1% sequentially to $44.2 million. Excluding the previously discussed wind-down of our Clipper business, Zig-Zag was up mid-single-digits sequentially, which slightly beat our expectations.

Zig-Zag segment gross profit decreased 7.1% from the prior year but increased 9.9% sequentially to $25.4 million. Gross margin increased 210 basis points from the prior year to 57.5%.

Performance Measures in the Third Quarter

Third quarter 2025 consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 50.5% from the prior year and 10.5% sequentially to $44.5 million, inclusive of increased Modern Oral-related sales and marketing investments and increased outbound freight costs.

Third quarter SG&A included the following notable items:

$0.5 million of FDA PMTA-related expenses for Modern Oral products compared to $1.2 million in the prior year period; and
$0.8 million of transaction-related costs compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period.
--- ---

Total gross debt as of September 30, 2025 was $300.0 million. Net debt (total gross debt less unrestricted cash) as of September 30, 2025 was $98.8 million. The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $267.8 million, comprised of $201.2 million in cash and $66.6 million of availability under an asset backed revolving credit facility.

Consistent with the Company’s policy of maintaining active buyback and sales authorizations to maximize capital markets flexibility, the Company plans to amend its ATM prospectus supplement and buyback authorization to provide for $200 million of capacity under each program. There are no current plans to transact under the updated authorizations.

2025 Outlook

The Company is increasing full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $115.0 – 120.0 million (from $110.0 – 114.0 million) and projected full-year 2025 Modern Oral sales to $125.0 – 130.0 million (from $100.0 – 110.0 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 Net Income, 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 Net Income, 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 Net Income, 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, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, income tax expense, 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 Net Income” as net income excluding 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 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 Net Income, 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.

The PMTA regime requires the Company to submit an application to the FDA to receive marketing authorization to continue to sell certain of its product lines with continued sales permitted during the pendency of the applications. The application is a onetime resource-intensive process for each covered product line; however, due to the nature of the implementation process for those product lines already in the market, applications can take multiple years to complete rather than the typical one-time submission. The Company has only two product lines currently subject to the PMTA process, having utilized other regulatory pathway options available for our other product lines. The Company does not expect to submit additional PMTA applications for any new product lines after the submission for the remaining two are complete.
(g) Represents a mark-to-market gain attributable to foreign exchange fluctuation.
(h) Represents gain on investments.
(i) Represents an employee retention credit refund received included in other (income) expense, net.

The application is a onetime resource-intensive process for each covered product line; however, due to the nature of the implementation process for those product lines already in the market, applications can take multiple years to complete rather than the typical one-time submission. The Company has only two product lines currently subject to the PMTA process, having utilized other regulatory pathway options available for our other product lines. The Company does not expect to submit additional PMTA applications for any new product lines after the submission for the remaining two are complete.
