Turning Point Brands Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results and Closing of New ABL Facility
-Revised Annual Adjusted EBITDA Guidance to $92 to $95 million from $90 to $95 million
-Repurchased Another $15 million of Outstanding Convertible Bonds
LOUISVILLE, KY – November 8, 2023 – Turning Point Brands, Inc. (“TPB” or “the Company”) (NYSE: TPB), a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products, including
alternative smoking accessories and consumables with active ingredients, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Q3 2023 vs. Q3 2022
|
• |
Total consolidated net sales decreased 5.6% to $101.7 million
|
|
o |
Zig-Zag Products net sales decreased by 10.2% but stable sequentially
|
|
o |
Stoker’s Products net sales increased by 10.1%
|
|
o |
Creative Distribution Solutions net sales decreased by 18.7%
|
|
• |
Gross profit decreased 2.1% to $51.6 million
|
|
• |
Net income decreased 6.1% to $10.8 million
|
|
• |
Adjusted net income increased 1.6% to $14.5 million (see Schedule B for a reconciliation to net income)
|
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 0.4% to $24.4 million (see Schedule A for a reconciliation to net income)
|
|
• |
Diluted EPS of $0.58 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.76 compared to $0.60 and $0.72 in the same period one year ago, respectively (see Schedule B for a reconciliation to Diluted EPS)
|
Graham Purdy, President and CEO, commented: “Our third quarter results were consistent with our expectations. The Zig-Zag segment was stable sequentially from the second
quarter and notwithstanding some transitory headwinds posted its third-highest revenue quarter. Stoker’s had another solid quarter of performance led by double-digit growth year-over-year in Stoker’s MST. We further de-levered the balance sheet with
an opportunistic purchase of $15 million in aggregate principal amount of our convertible notes during the third quarter. With a new $75 million ABL revolving credit facility, our strong cash balance, and our free cash flow generation, we now have
more than ample liquidity to address the remaining balance of convertible notes maturing next year.”
Zig-Zag Products Segment (46% of total net sales in the quarter)
For the third quarter, Zig-Zag Products net sales were consistent with the previous quarter but decreased 10.2% to $46.8 million as the previous year’s
third quarter benefitted from the initial load-in of CLIPPER lighters and approximately $5 million of sales from promotional activities and timing of Canadian deliveries. Additionally, a discontinuation of an unprofitable product line impacted
Canadian sales by $1.8 million.
For the quarter, the Zig-Zag Products segment gross profit decreased 4.6% to $26.7 million. Gross margin increased 330 basis points to 57.2% driven primarily by product
mix.
“Our alternative channel business had another quarter of strong double-digit growth as we continue to expand penetration in the growing market,” said
Purdy. “We remain encouraged by our prospects with secular cannabis consumption growth trends driving demand for our products.”
Stoker’s Products Segment (36% of total net sales in the quarter)
For the third quarter, Stoker’s Products net sales increased 10.1% to $36.9 million on double-digit growth of MST and low-single-digit growth of
loose-leaf chewing tobacco. For the third quarter, total Stoker’s Products segment volume increased 2.2%, while price / mix increased 7.9%.
For the quarter, the Stoker’s Products segment gross profit increased 12.5% to $20.6 million. Gross margin expanded 120 basis points to 55.7% due to MST pricing gains.
“Stoker’s strong market share gains in both the MST and loose-leaf chewing tobacco categories continued as its value proposition continues to resonate with consumers,”
continued Purdy.
Recent Events
ABL Facility
On November 7, 2023, a subsidiary of the Company closed on a new asset-based revolving credit facility with committed borrowing capacity of $75 million.
The new facility replaces a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility which was scheduled to mature in August 2025. The new facility is scheduled to mature in November 2027. The Company currently has no borrowings outstanding under the new
facility.
Performance Measures in the Third Quarter
Third quarter consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $31.4 million compared to $32.9 million in the third quarter of
2022.

• |
$0.1 million of ERP / CRM duplicative system costs compared to $0.4 million of ERP / CRM scoping expenses in the previous year
|
Total gross debt as of September 30, 2023 was $368.5 million. Net debt (total gross debt less unrestricted cash) at September 30, 2023 was $272.5 million. The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $119.7 million, comprised of $96.1 million in cash and $23.6 million of revolving credit facility capacity.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2024.
The Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.2 million during the quarter related to historical minority investments in development stage ventures.
2023 Outlook

Creative Distribution Solutions (“CDS”) (18% of total net sales in the quarter)
The CDS business was restructured during the quarter to eliminate certain unprofitable businesses and focus on a narrower set of products to better
position it as a standalone business.
For the third quarter, CDS net sales were $18.1 million, gross profit was $4.3 million, and gross margin was 23.8%.

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, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss). 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, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) 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, Adjusted Gross Profit and
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) 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, 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 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 Gross Profit: as gross profit excluding other non-cash items and other items that we do not consider ordinary course in our
evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)” 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, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) 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.
