NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for any fiscal quarter will not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for other quarters or a full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operation, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The unaudited information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 .

Taxes Collected from Customers

Certain subsidiaries are subject to value-added taxes on local sales. These amounts have been included in Sales and Other Operating Revenues and Cost of Goods and Services Sold and were $7,244 and $6,406 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $ 11,098 and $12,591 for the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

Other Deferred Charges

Other deferred charges are primarily deferred financing costs that are amortized over the life of the debt.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At September 30, 2017 , the Company held $3,921 in the Zimbabwe Real Time Gross Settlement (“RTGS”) System. RTGS is a local currency equivalent that is exchanged 1:1 with the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). In order to convert these units to USD, the Company must obtain foreign currency resources from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe subject to the monetary and exchange control policy in Zimbabwe.

New Accounting Standards

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2015-11, Inventory. ASU 2015-11 simplifies the measurement of inventory. Under the previous accounting guidance, an entity measured inventory at the lower of cost or market with market defined as one of three different measures. The primary objective of this accounting guidance is to require a single measurement of inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2017. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue Recognition (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. This guidance is effective for the Company on April 1, 2018 and the full retrospective approach upon adoption is expected. The implementation group for this ASU is continuing to evaluate the impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, business processes, systems, and controls. The Company has identified certain revenue streams for which the timing of revenue recognition could be impacted by this new ASU; however, the Company does not expect there to be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (excluding equity method investments) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This guidance is effective for the Company on April 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. This guidance also requires disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on April 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. INCOME TAXES

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2017 , the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $15,235 , all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2017 , accrued interest and penalties totaled $1,749 and $1,104 , respectively. The Company expects to continue accruing interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits described above. Additionally, the Company may be subject to fluctuations in the unrecognized tax benefit due to currency exchange rate movements.

The Company does not foresee any reasonably possible changes in the unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months but acknowledges circumstances can change due to unexpected developments in the law. In certain jurisdictions, tax authorities have challenged positions that the Company has taken that resulted in recognizing benefits that are material to its financial statements. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will prevail in these situations and accordingly has not recorded liabilities for these positions. The Company expects the challenged positions to be settled at a time greater than twelve months from its balance sheet date.

2. INCOME TAXES (continued)

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (continued)

The Company and its subsidiaries file a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return as well as returns in several U.S. states and a number of foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company’s earliest open tax year for U.S. federal income tax purposes is its fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. However, the Company's net operating loss carryovers from prior periods remain subject to adjustment. Open tax years in state and foreign jurisdictions generally range from three to six years.

Provision for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2017

The effective tax rate used for the six months ended September 30, 2017 was (29.4)% compared to 0.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2016 . The effective tax rates for these periods are based on the current estimate of full year results including the effect of taxes related to discrete events which are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The difference in the effective tax rate in one year compared to another is the result of many factors that include, but are not limited to, differences in forecasted income for the respective years, differences in year-to-date income for the periods, certain losses for which no tax benefit is recorded, differences between discrete items recognized for the periods that include changes in net exchange losses on income tax accounts, and net exchange gains related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.

For the six months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment expense of $692 , bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the six months of (26.5)% to (29.4)% . This discrete event adjustment expense relates primarily to net exchange losses on income tax accounts and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 , the Company recorded a discrete event adjustment benefit of $2,836 , bringing the effective tax rate estimated for the six months of (5.8)% to 0.5% . This discrete event adjustment expense relates primarily to net exchange losses on income tax accounts and net exchange gains related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The significant difference in the estimated effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2017 from the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily due to net exchange losses on income tax accounts, foreign income tax rates lower than the U.S. rate, and certain losses for which no benefit is currently recorded.

3. GUARANTEES

The Company and certain of its foreign subsidiaries guarantee bank loans to suppliers to finance their crops. Under longer-term arrangements, the Company may also guarantee financing on suppliers’ construction of curing barns or other tobacco production assets. Guaranteed loans are generally repaid concurrent with the delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company is obligated to repay any guaranteed loan should the supplier default. If default occurs, the Company has recourse against the supplier. The Company also guarantees bank loans of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in Asia and Brazil.

The following table summarizes amounts guaranteed and the fair value of those guarantees:



	September 30, 2017		September 30, 2016		March 31, 2017
Amounts guaranteed (not to exceed)	$	125,060	$	206,923	$	194,656
Amounts outstanding under guarantee	98,748		89,822		106,465
Fair value of guarantees	2,770		4,467		7,126

Of the guarantees outstanding at September 30, 2017 , all expire within one year. The fair value of guarantees is recorded in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and included in crop costs except for the joint venture in Brazil which is included in Accounts Receivable, Related Parties.

In Brazil, certain suppliers obtain government subsidized rural credit financing from local banks that is guaranteed by the Company. The Company withholds amounts owed to suppliers related to the rural credit financing of the supplier upon delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company remits payments to the local banks on behalf of the guaranteed suppliers. Terms of rural credit financing are such that repayment is due to local banks based on contractual due dates. As of March 31, 2017 , the Company had $20,860 due to local banks on behalf of suppliers included in Accounts Payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no similar balances as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 .

4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but rather is tested for impairment annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has chosen the first day of the last quarter of its fiscal year as the date to perform its annual goodwill impairment test.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company holds variable interests in eight joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These joint ventures primarily procure or process inventory on behalf of the Company and the other joint venture partners. The variable interests relate to equity investments and advances made by the Company to the joint ventures. In addition, the Company guarantees two of its joint ventures' borrowings which represent a variable interest in those joint ventures. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities as a result of the entities’ management and board of directors' structure. Therefore, these entities are not consolidated. At September 30, 2017 and 2016 , and March 31, 2017 , the Company’s investment in these joint ventures was $51,825 , $54,639 , and

$51,443 , respectively, and is classified as Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s advances to these joint ventures at September 30, 2017 and 2016 , and March 31, 2017 , respectively, were $5,325 ,

$8,965 , and $ 8,133 and are classified as Accounts Receivable, Related Parties in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company guaranteed an amount to two joint ventures not to exceed $75,625 , $94,054 , and $96,378 at September 30, 2017 and 2016 , and March 31, 2017 , respectively. The investments, advances, and guarantees in these joint ventures represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company purchases, processes, sells, and stores leaf tobacco. Tobacco is purchased in more than 35 countries and shipped to approximately 90 countries. The sales, logistics, and billing functions of the Company are primarily concentrated in service centers outside of the producing areas to facilitate access to its major customers. Within certain quality and grade constraints, tobacco is fungible, and subject to these constraints, customers may choose to fulfill their needs from any of the areas where the Company purchases tobacco.

Selling, logistics, billing, and administrative overhead, including depreciation, which originates primarily from the Company’s corporate and sales offices, are allocated to the segments based upon segment operating income. Intercompany transactions are allocated to the operating segment that either purchases or processes the tobacco.

The following table presents the summary segment information for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 :

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is reported as the weighted average of the total shares of common stock outstanding, net of shares of common stock held by a wholly owned subsidiary. Shares of common stock owned by the subsidiary were 785 at September 30, 2017 and 2016 . This subsidiary waives its right to receive dividends and it does not have the right to vote.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE (continued)

Certain potentially dilutive options were not included in the computation of earnings per diluted share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the shares of common stock during the period and their effect would be

antidilutive. These shares totaled 427 at a weighted average exercise price of $60.00 per share at September 30, 2017 and 461 at a weighted average exercise price of $61.09 per share at September 30, 2016 .

The following table summarizes the computation of earnings per share for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 .

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards granted under its various employee and non-employee stock incentive plans of $253 and $528 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, of which $0 and $75 , respectively, were for stock-based awards payable in cash and $598 and $965 for the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, of which $54 and $120 , respectively, were for stock-based awards payable in cash.

The Company’s shareholders approved the 2016 Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") at its annual meeting on August 12, 2016, which is the successor to the 2007 Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) as amended on August 11, 2011 and August 6, 2009. The 2016 Plan is an omnibus plan that provides the flexibility to grant a variety of equity awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock units, performance awards, and incentive awards to officers, directors, and employees of the Company.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

During the three months and six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, the Company made the following stock-based compensation awards:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except grant date fair value)	2017		2016		2017		2016

Performance-Based Stock Units
Number Granted	—		28		29		28
Grant Date Fair Value	$	—	$	17.76	$	11.75	$	17.76

Restricted stock consists of shares issued to non-employee directors of the Company which are not subject to a minimum vesting period. Restricted stock units differ from restricted stock in that zero shares are issued until restrictions lapse. Restricted stock units granted during the three months ended September 30, 2017 vest ratably over a three -year period. Under the terms of the performance-based stock units, shares ultimately issued will be contingent upon the achievement of specified business performance goals.

9. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER INFORMATION

Non-Income Tax

The government in the Brazilian State of Parana (“Parana”) issued a tax assessment on October 26, 2007 with respect to local intrastate trade tax credits that result primarily from tobacco transferred between states within Brazil. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $4,158 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at September 30, 2017 is $13,821 . The Company believes it has properly complied with Brazilian law and will contest any assessment through the judicial process. Should the Company lose in the judicial process, the loss of the intrastate trade tax credits would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company also has local intrastate trade tax credits in the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina and the State of Rio Grande do Sul. These jurisdictions permit the sale or transfer of excess credits to third parties. However, approval must be obtained from the tax authorities. The Company has an agreement with the state governments regarding the amounts and timing of credits that can be sold. The tax credits have a carrying value of $1,926 at September 30, 2017 , which is net of impairment charges based on management’s expectations about future realization. The intrastate trade tax credits will continue to be monitored for impairment in future periods based on market conditions and the Company’s ability to use or sell the tax credits.

In 1969, the Brazilian government created a tax credit program that allowed companies to earn IPI tax credits (“IPI credits”) based on the value of their exports. The government began to phase out this program in 1979, which resulted in numerous lawsuits between taxpayers and the Brazilian government. The Company has a long legal history with respect to credits it earned while the IPI credit program was in effect. In 2001, the Company won a claim related to certain IPI credits it earned between 1983 and 1990. The Brazilian government appealed this decision and numerous rulings and appeals were rendered on behalf of both the government and the Company from 2001 through 2013. Because of this favorable ruling, the Company began to use these earned

IPI credits to offset federal taxes in 2004 and 2005, until it received a Judicial Order to suspend the IPI offsetting in 2005. The value of the federal taxes offset in 2004 and 2005 was $24,142 and the Company established a reserve on these credits at the time of offsetting as they were not yet realizable due to the legal uncertainty that existed. Specifically, the Company extinguished other federal tax liabilities using IPI credits and recorded a liability in Pension, Postretirement and Other Long-Term Liabilities to reflect that the credits were not realizable at that time due to the prevalent legal uncertainty. On March 7, 2013, the Brazilian Supreme Court rendered a final decision in favor of the Company that recognized the validity of the IPI credits and secured the Company's right to benefit from the IPI credits earned from March 1983 to October 1990. This final decision expressly stated the Company has the right to the IPI credits. The Company estimated the total amount of the IPI credits to be approximately $94,316 at March

31, 2013. Since the March 2013 ruling definitively (without the government's ability to appeal) granted the Company the ownership of the IPI credits generated between 1983 and 1990 the Company believed the amount of IPI credits that were used to offset other

federal taxes in 2004 and 2005 were realizable beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, and at March 31, 2013, the Company recorded the $24,142 IPI credits it realized in the Statements of Consolidated Operations in Other Income. No further benefit has been recognized pending the outcome of the judicial procedure to ascertain the final amount as those amounts have not yet been

realized.

Other

Mindo, S.r.l., the purchaser in 2004 of the Company's Italian subsidiary Dimon Italia, S.r.l., asserted claims against a subsidiary of the Company arising out of that sale transaction in an action filed before the Court of Rome on April 12, 2007. The claim involved a guaranty letter issued by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company in connection with the sale transaction , and sought the recovery of €7,400 plus interest and costs. On November 11, 2013, the court issued its judgment in favor of the Company’s subsidiary, rejecting the claims asserted by Mindo, S.r.l., and awarding the Company’s subsidiary legal costs of €48 . On December 23, 2014, Mindo, S.r.l. appealed the judgment of the Court of Rome to the Court of Appeal of Rome. A hearing before the Court of Appeal of Rome was held on June 12, 2015, which was adjourned pending a further hearing set for February 2018. The outcome of, and timing of a decision on, the appeal are uncertain and therefore no amounts have been recorded.

In addition to the above-mentioned matter, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in other litigation or legal matters incidental to their business activities, including tax matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company is vigorously defending them and does not currently expect that any of them will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to its current expectation, the effect on the Company’s results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records all known asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) for which the liability can be reasonably estimated. Currently, it has identified an ARO associated with one of its facilities that requires it to restore the land to its initial condition upon vacating the facility. The Company has not recognized a liability under generally accepted accounting principles for this ARO because the fair value of restoring the land at this site cannot be reasonably estimated since the settlement date is unknown at this time. The settlement date is unknown because the land restoration is not required until title is returned to the government, and the Company has no current or future plans to return the title. The Company will recognize a liability in the period in which sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate its fair value.

10. DEBT ARRANGEMENTS

ABL Facility

The ABL credit agreement restricts the Company from paying any dividends during the term of this facility subject to the satisfaction of specified financial ratios. In addition, the indentures governing its outstanding 8.5% senior secured first lien notes due 2021 and its outstanding 9.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2021 contain similar restrictions and also prohibit the payment of dividends and other distributions if the Company fails to satisfy a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 2.0 to 1.0. At September 30, 2017 , the Company did not satisfy this fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company may from time to time not satisfy this ratio and failure to meet this fixed charge coverage ratio does not constitute an event of default.

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

During the six months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company purchased $28,645 of its existing $691,591 of the 9.875% senior secured second lien notes on the open market. All purchased securities were canceled leaving $662,946 of the 9.875% senior secured second lien notes outstanding at September 30, 2017 . Related discounts were $3,730 resulting in net cash repayment of $24,915 and were recorded in Repayment of Long-Term Borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Associated costs paid were $72 , and deferred financing costs and amortization of original issue discount of $683 were accelerated.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward or option currency contracts to protect against volatility associated with certain non-U.S. dollar denominated forecasted transactions. These contracts are for green tobacco purchases, processing costs, and selling, general and administrative costs. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments are recorded each period according to the determination of the derivative's effectiveness. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized in Cost of Goods and Services Sold immediately as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

As of September 30, 2017 , Other Comprehensive Loss includes $1,591 , net of tax, of unrealized gains related to designated cash flow hedges. These contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the previous years. There were no gains or losses recorded for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2016 . The Company recorded losses/(gains) of $283 and ( $985 ) in its Cost of Goods and Services Sold for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively.

The Company has elected not to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. See Note 16 “Fair Value Measurements” to the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information of fair value methodology.

12. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company has multiple benefit plans at several locations. The Company has a defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits for substantially all U.S. salaried personnel based on years of service rendered, age, and compensation. The Company also maintains various other excess benefit and supplemental plans that provide additional benefits to (1) certain individuals whose compensation, and the resulting benefits that would have actually been paid, are limited by regulations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and (2) certain individuals in key positions. The Company funds these plans in amounts consistent with the funding requirements of federal law and regulations. The Company also provides certain health and life insurance benefits to retired employees, and their eligible dependents, who meet specified age and service requirements.

Additional non-U.S. defined benefit plans sponsored by certain subsidiaries cover certain full-time employees located in Germany, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

15. SALE OF RECEIVABLES

The Company sells trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under two accounts receivable securitization programs. Under the first program, the Company continuously sells a designated pool of trade receivables to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells 100% of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution. During the six months ended September 30, 2017 , the investment limit of this program was adjusted from up to $100,000 trade receivables to up to $155,000 trade receivables. The agreement for the second program is an uncommitted program, whereby the Company offers receivables for sale to the respective unaffiliated financial institution, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institution.

Under the programs, the Company receives a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable in exchange for receivables sold. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institutions, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which have all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables.

Under the programs, all of the receivables sold are removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the net cash proceeds received by the Company are included in Net Cash Used by Operating Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The deferred purchase price receivable is paid as payments on the receivables are collected from account debtors and represents a continuing involvement and a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets. This beneficial interest is recognized at fair value and is included in Trade and Other Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 16 "Fair Value Measurements" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.

The Company is servicer of both facilities and may receive funds that are due to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which are net settled on the next settlement date. As a result of the net settlement, Trade and Other Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets has been reduced by $6,433 , $1,531 , and $11,985 as a result of the net settlement as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 , and March 31, 2017 , respectively.

The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the other assets received at the time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in Other Income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s accounts receivable securitization information as of the dates shown:



	September 30,				March 31,
	2017		2016		2017
Receivables outstanding in facility	$	123,526	$	95,030	$	200,084
Beneficial interest	$	23,668	$	29,371	$	38,206

Deferred purchase price	118,118		113,509		231,658
Service fees	225		286		492
Total	$	347,273	$	360,030	$	880,880

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs utilized in valuation techniques to measure fair value may be observable

or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes these inputs into the following three levels:


•	Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


•	Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.


•	Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

Level 2 measurements


•	Debt: The fair value of debt is based on the market price for similar financial instruments or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable. The primary inputs to the valuation include market expectations, the Company's credit risk, and the contractual terms of the debt instrument.


•	Derivatives: The fair value of derivatives is based on the discounted cash flow analysis of the expected future cash flows. The primary inputs to the valuation include forward yield curves, implied volatilities, LIBOR rates, and credit valuation adjustments.

Level 3 measurements


•	Guarantees: The fair value of guarantees is based on the discounted cash flow analysis of the expected future cash flows or historical loss rates. The primary inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include market interest rates ranging between 15.0% and 35.0% and the Company’s historical loss rates ranging between 2.6% and 8.9% as of September 30, 2017 .


•	Securitized beneficial interests: The fair value of securitized beneficial interests is based on the present value of future expected cash flows. The primary inputs to this valuation include payment speeds of 54 days a discount rate of 3.7% as of September 30, 2017 .

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The following executive overview for the six months ended September 30, 2017 is intended to provide significant highlights of the discussion and analysis that follows.

Financial Results

Fiscal year 2018 continues to progress favorably and in line with our expectations. Excluding Malawi, that has a much smaller crop this year, global market conditions are positive and weather patterns are good, supporting better growing conditions with crop sizes that have returned to more normal levels in key markets where we are currently or have completed purchasing. The heavy North American hurricane season has not affected our contracted flue cured crop and qualities are generally good. Total kilos sold this quarter were slightly above last year at 92.0 million. These volumes have been affected by a prolonged shortage of containers in South America and China; however, we do expect to be able to catch up on those shipments through the third and fourth quarters. The second quarter starts the new crop shipping season with the improved marketing conditions showing through in the results. Revenue for the quarter improved 14.9% or $57.9 million to $447.3 million versus last year due to a 12.4% increase in average sales price, driven by higher lamina sales this year versus byproducts when compared to last year’s quarter. Gross profit improved by 37.9% to $69.3 million. Additionally, other income improved $2.5 million mainly related to various factors in South America.

Liquidity

Our liquidity requirements are affected by various factors including crop seasonality, foreign currency and interest rates, green tobacco prices, customer mix, crop size and quality. Consistent with our plan, we utilized surplus cash to reduce long-term debt with the purchase and cancellation of $28.6 million of our 9.875% senior secured second lien notes, leaving $662.9 million at September 30, 2017 . Our liquidity at quarter end was strong with available credit lines and cash of $517.1 million including available lines for letters of credit. We will continue to monitor and adjust funding sources as needed to enhance and drive various business opportunities that maintain flexibility and meet cost expectations.

Outlook

As we progress into the third quarter, we anticipate that our results will continue to reflect improvement versus last year in both sales and profitability. Our customers are focused on reducing costs, increasing efficiency and enhancing their global supply chains, as well as driving positive change in consumption with increased reduced risk product offerings. Future prospects for our business are bright and we are excited about developing and maximizing future opportunities that should drive improved profitability and enhanced shareholder value. We are taking measured steps to strengthen our preferred supplier role with customers, further developing our position as a key supplier for both traditional requirements as well as next generation reduced risk products.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Summary. Total sales and other operating revenues increased $57.9 million to $447.3 million attributable to a 3.6% increase in volumes, primarily from Asia and Europe due to the timing of shipments and a 12.4% increase in average sales price due to product mix. Lamina as a percentage of total sales was 15.5% higher this year compared to last year. Normalized crop sizes in South America this year, following the smaller weather-related crop size last year, lowered conversion costs and created a normalized leaf purchasing environment. As a result, average tobacco costs per kilo only increased 10.1% and processing costs decreased 22.0%. Processing revenues remaining comparable with the prior year due to larger crop sizes in some markets. For the current quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year, total revenues increased 14.9% while total costs of goods and services sold increased

11.5%. As a result, gross profit increased 37.9% to $69.3 million and gross profit as a percentage of sales improved from 12.9% in the prior year to 15.5% in the current year. Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased slightly by 4.3% which was offset by higher other income primarily related to the receipt of funds previously held in escrow in South America that are now covered by bond. Mainly driven by increased gross profit, operating income improved 112.0% from the prior year.

Our interest costs increased from the prior year primarily due to higher average borrowings on our seasonal lines of credit at higher average rates. Our effective tax rate was 90.4% this year compared to (32.2)% last year. The variance in the effective tax rate between this year and last year is the result of many factors that include, but are not limited to, differences in forecasted income for the respective years, differences in year-to-date income for the quarters, certain losses for which no tax benefit is recorded, and differences between discrete items recognized for the quarters that include changes in valuation allowances, net exchanges losses on income tax accounts, and net exchange gains related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.

The current quarter volumes increased by 12% driven by the timing of shipments when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. However, current sales included a higher ratio of byproducts to lamina than in the prior year which lowered average sales prices by 8.3%. The impact of increased volumes was partially offset by the decrease in average sales prices, with total sales and other operating revenues in the current quarter improving slightly by 0.9%. Total tobacco cost increases from higher volumes sold was significantly offset by an 8.7% decrease in average tobacco costs per kilo from the change in product mix. As a result, gross profit was comparable to the prior year. However, gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 17.5% last year to 16.7% this year. SG&A decreased by 59.0% primarily due to lower allocations for general corporate services. Primarily as a result of lower SG&A, operating income increased by 110.8% from the prior year to $7.8 million.

Volumes improved 2.7% primarily from Asia and Europe due to the timing of shipments. Average sales prices increased 15.6% primarily from product mix in South America and Europe as current sales included a higher ratio of lamina to byproducts than in the prior year. As a result of product mix and the current South America crop size normalizing after the smaller weather-related crop size last year which lowered conversion costs and normalized the leaf purchasing environment, average tobacco costs per kilo increased by only 12.6% and processing costs decreased by 28.8%. Processing revenues remained consistent with the prior year due to larger crop sizes in some markets. For the current quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year, total sales and other operating revenues increased 17.4% compared to a 13.1% increase in total costs of goods and services sold. In addition, gross profit increased 48.5% to $59.4 million and gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 12.1% to 15.3%. Increases in SG&A were due to higher allocations for general corporate services and increased compensation costs. Partially offsetting higher SG&A, other income increased $2.1 million primarily related to the receipt of funds previously held in escrow in South America that are now covered by bond. Mainly driven by improved gross profit, operating income increased 112.9% when compared with the prior year.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2016

Summary. Total sales and other operating revenues increased $73.8 million to $724.3 million attributable to a 2.1% increase in volumes, primarily from Asia and Europe, due to the timing of shipments and a 9.5% increase in average sales price due to product mix. Lamina as a percentage of total sales was 14.2% higher this year compared to last year. Average tobacco costs per kilo increased 9.9% from product mix and the impact of European currency movement, partially offset by lower conversion costs from the current South America crop size normalizing after the smaller weather-related crop size last year. The larger South America crop size this year was the primary driver of processing and other revenues increasing 6.3%, with processing costs decreasing 11.9% from lower conversion costs. Current year revenues increased by 11.3% ,while total costs of goods and services sold increased by 10.6%. As a result, gross profit increased by 16.2% to $98.0 million and gross profit as a percentage of sales improved from 13.0% in the prior year to 13.5% in the current year. SG&A decreased by 5.0% primarily due to lower legal and professional fees and incentive compensation costs. Other income increases of $7.3 million were mainly driven by sales of intrastate trade tax credits in South America and the receipt of South American funds previously held in escrow that are now covered by bond. Operating income improved by 190.1% to $38.2 million when compared to the prior year.

During the current year, we purchased $28.6 million of our existing 9.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2021 at a discount, resulting in debt retirement income of $3.0 million. Our interest costs increased from the prior year primarily due to higher average borrowings on our seasonal lines of credit at higher average rates. Our effective tax rate was (29.4)% this year compared to 0.5% last year. The variance in the effective tax rate between this year and last year is the result of many factors that include, but are not limited to, differences in forecasted income for the respective years, differences in year-to-date income for the periods, certain losses for which no tax benefit is recorded, and differences between discrete items recognized for the periods that include changes in valuation allowanced, net exchanges losses on income tax accounts, and net exchange gains related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.

North America Region (continued)

Total sales and other operating revenues increased 14.6% primarily due to a 21.7% increase in average sales prices. The increase in average sales prices and the 24.1% increase in average tobacco costs per kilo are mainly driven by product mix. The current year sales included a higher ratio of lamina to byproducts than in the prior year. However, the lamina sold in the current year included higher levels of lower margin prior year crops. Volumes decreases of 3.4% were primarily due to reduced customer demand. As a result, gross margin decreased slightly by 2.2% to $17.6 million this year and gross margin as a percentage of sales declined from 16.6% to 14.1%. Decreases in SG&A by 21.6% were attributable to lower allocations for general corporate services. Operating income improved by 125.9% to $6.1 million primarily due to the decrease in SG&A.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Overview

Our business is seasonal, and purchasing, processing and selling activities have several associated peaks where cash on hand and outstanding indebtedness may be significantly greater or less than at fiscal year-end. We utilize capital in excess of cash flow from operations to finance accounts receivable, inventory and advances to tobacco suppliers in foreign countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Malawi, Tanzania, Turkey and Zambia. In addition, from time to time, we may elect to purchase, redeem, repay, retire or cancel indebtedness prior to stated maturity under our various foreign credit lines, senior secured credit agreement or indentures, as permitted therein.

As of September 30, 2017, we reached a seasonally adjusted high for our South American crop lines as we are shipping inventory and collecting receivables. In Africa, purchasing is almost complete and processing and shipping will peak in the third quarter. In Asia, the Thai crop has been processed, packed and is shipping, while Indian Mysore is being purchased, with processing and shipping scheduled to occur during the third quarter. Indonesian purchasing also began in August, and we are processing and beginning to ship. Europe has almost completed processing, and shipping will follow during the third and fourth quarters. North America has commenced flue cured purchasing and processing, with shipping scheduled to occur in full effect during the third quarter, seasonally elevating working capital requirements. Depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus many of the currencies in which we have costs may continue to have an impact on our working capital requirements and, accordingly we plan to monitor and hedge foreign currency costs prudently, and as needed on a currency-by-currency basis.

Working Capital

Our working capital decreased from $797.3 million at March 31, 2017 to $743.5 million at September 30, 2017 . Our current ratio was 2.0 to 1 at September 30, 2017 and 2.1 to 1 at March 31, 2017 . The decrease in working capital is primarily related to the seasonal buildup of African and South American inventories and advances to tobacco suppliers and the related seasonal increase of notes payable to finance the purchase and processing of these crops partially offset by lower cash balances.

The following table is a summary of items from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Approximately $132.7 million of our outstanding cash balance at September 30, 2017 was held in foreign jurisdictions. As a result of our cash needs abroad, it is our intention to permanently reinvest these funds in foreign jurisdictions regardless of the fact that, due to the valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryovers, the cost of repatriation would not have a material financial impact.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: (continued)

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash used by operating activities increased $157.8 million in the six months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the 2016 period. The increase in cash used was primarily due to the seasonal buildup of African and South American inventories and advances to tobacco suppliers due to a larger crop size in Brazil and the timing of shipments. Net cash used also increased due to reduced collections of accounts receivable in accordance with terms due to the timing of shipments.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used by investing activities increased $7.9 million in the six months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the 2016 period. The increase in cash used was primarily due to increased purchases of property, plant and equipment in accordance with capital improvements plans for fiscal 2018 and payments to acquire certain equity method investments partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of equipment primarily located in Africa.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $79.0 million in the six months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the 2016 period. This decrease is primarily due to lower net proceeds from short-term borrowings due to the timing of shipments and the purchase of $28.6 million of our existing 9.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2021 in the current year.

Debt Financing

We continue to finance our business with a combination of short-term and long-term seasonal credit lines, an ABL facility, long-term debt securities, customer advances and cash from operations when available. At September 30, 2017 , we had cash of $188.9 million and total debt outstanding of $1,466.7 million comprised of $549.0 million of short-term notes payable to banks, $268.0 million of 8.5% senior secured first lien notes, $648.8 million of 9.875% senior secured second lien notes, and $0.9 million of other long-term debt. The $73.2 million seasonal increase in notes payable to banks from March 31, 2017 to September 30, 2017 results from the timing of borrowings under the African and Brazilian credit lines. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring at any time during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, were $650.1 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.7% and $688.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring at any time during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were repaid with cash provided by operating activities. Available credit as of September 30, 2017 was $328.2 million comprised of $60.0 million under our ABL facility, $261.2 million of notes payable to banks and $7.0 million of availability exclusively for letters of credit. Borrowing under the ABL facility is permitted only to the extent that, after consideration of the application of the proceeds of the borrowing, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents would not exceed $180.0 million. At September 30, 2017, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents exceeded $180.0 million. In fiscal 2018, we expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $30.7 million for routine replacement of equipment as well as investment in assets intended to add value to our customers or increase efficiency.

No cash dividends were paid to shareholders during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and payment of dividends is restricted under the terms of our ABL credit facility and the indentures governing the 8.5% senior secured first lien notes and our 9.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2021. We believe that our sources of liquidity versus our requirements will be sufficient to fund our anticipated needs for the next twelve months.

(2) Weighted average rate for the six months ended September 30, 2017.


(3) Primarily foreign seasonal lines of credit

Foreign Seasonal Lines of Credit

We have typically financed our non-U.S. operations with uncommitted unsecured short-term seasonal lines of credit at the local level. These operating lines are seasonal in nature, normally extending for a term of 180 to 270 days corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. These facilities are typically uncommitted in that the lenders have the right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans at any time. These loans are typically renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. As of September 30, 2017 , we had approximately $549.0 million drawn and outstanding on foreign seasonal lines with maximum capacity totaling $823.3 million subject to limitations as provided for in the agreement governing our ABL credit facility. Additionally against these lines there was $13.1 million available in unused letter of credit capacity with $6.1 million issued but unfunded.

These statements, which are based on current expectations of future events, may be identified by use of words such as “strategy,” “expects,” “continues,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “will,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “targets” and other words of similar meaning. These statements also may be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or if known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Some of these risks and uncertainties include changes in the timing of anticipated shipments, changes in anticipated geographic product sourcing, political instability in sourcing locations, currency and interest rate fluctuations, shifts in the global supply and demand position for our tobacco products, and the impact of regulation and litigation on our customers. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that we may make from time to time.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant changes to our market risk since March 31, 2017 . For a discussion on our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017 .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that, because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2017. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of September 30, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Mindo, S.r.l., the purchaser in 2004 of the Company's Italian subsidiary Dimon Italia, S.r.l., asserted claims against a subsidiary of the Company arising out of that sale transaction in an action filed before the Court of Rome on April 12, 2007. The claim involved a guaranty letter issued by a consolidated subsidiary of the Company in connection with the sale transaction , and sought the recovery of € 7.4 million plus interest and costs. On November 11, 2013, the court issued its judgment in favor of the Company’s subsidiary, rejecting the claims asserted by Mindo, S.r.l., and awarding the Company’s subsidiary legal costs of € 0.05 million. On December 23, 2014, Mindo, S.r.l. appealed the judgment of the Court of Rome to the Court of Appeal of Rome. A hearing before the Court of Appeal of Rome was held on June 12, 2015, which was adjourned pending a further hearing set for February 2018. The outcome of, and timing of a decision on, the appeal are uncertain.

The Company received a subpoena from the SEC, dated November 28, 2016, for documents relating to the restatement of its financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the three months ended June 30, 2015, which restatements were filed with the SEC on May 25, 2016. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC and providing the requested materials.

In addition to the above-mentioned matters, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in other litigation or legal matters incidental to their business activities, including tax matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company is vigorously defending them and does not currently expect that any of them will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to its current expectation, the effect on the Company’s results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material.
