Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (this “Quarterly Report”), contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and “will” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, and depend on circumstances, that may or may not occur in the future. As a result, actual events may differ materially from those expressed in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by Turning Point Brands, Inc. (“TPB”), in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date hereof. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for TPB to predict these events or how they may affect it. TPB has no obligation, and does not intend, to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to:

declining sales of tobacco products, and expected continuing decline of sales in the tobacco industry overall;

our dependence on a small number of third-party suppliers and producers;

the possibility that we will be unable to identify or contract with new suppliers or producers in the event of a supply or product disruption, as well as other supply chain concerns, including delays in product shipments and increases in freight cost;

the possibility that our licenses to use certain brands or trademarks will be terminated, challenged or restricted;

failure to maintain consumer brand recognition and loyalty of our customers and in anticipating and responding to changes in consumer preferences and purchase behavior;

our reliance on relationships with several large retailers and national chains for distribution of our products;

intense competition and our ability to compete effectively;

competition from illicit sources and the damage caused by illicit products to our brand equity;

contamination of our tobacco supply or products;

uncertainty and continued evolution of the markets for our products;

complications with the design or implementation of our new enterprise resource planning system could adversely impact our business and operations;

recalls of our products;

substantial and increasing regulation and changes in U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) enforcement priorities;

regulation or marketing denials of our products by the FDA, which has broad regulatory powers;

many of our products contain nicotine, which is considered to be a highly addictive substance;

requirement to maintain compliance with master settlement agreement escrow account;

possible significant increases in federal, state and local municipal tobacco- and nicotine-related taxes;

our products are marketed pursuant to a policy of FDA enforcement priorities which could change, and our products could become subject to increased regulatory burdens by the FDA;

our products are subject to developing and unpredictable regulation, such as court actions that impact obligations;

increase in the taxation of our products could adversely affect our business;

sensitivity of end-customers to increased sales taxes and economic conditions, including as a result of inflation and other declines in purchasing power;

possible increasing international control and regulation;

failure to comply with environmental, health and safety regulations;

imposition of significant tariffs on imports into the U.S.;

the scientific community’s lack of information regarding the long-term health effects of certain substances contained in some of our products;

significant product liability litigation;

our amount of indebtedness;

our credit rating and ability to access well-functioning capital markets;

the terms of our indebtedness, which may restrict our current and future operations;

our ability to establish and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting;

identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remediated appropriately or timely, could result in loss of investor confidence and adversely impact our stock price;

our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware law and certain regulations, could discourage or prohibit acquisition bids or merger proposals, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock;

our certificate of incorporation limits the ownership of our common stock by individuals and entities that are Restricted Investors (as defined in our Certificate of Incorporation). These restrictions may affect the liquidity of our common stock and may result in Restricted Investors being required to sell or redeem their shares at a loss or relinquish their voting, dividend and distribution rights;

future sales of our common stock in the public market could reduce our stock price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible securities may dilute your ownership in us;

we may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our common stock;

our business may be damaged by events outside of our or our suppliers’ control, such as the impact of epidemics or pandemics, political upheavals, or natural disasters;

adverse impact of climate change and legal and regulatory requirements related to climate change and environmental sustainability;

our reliance on information technology;

cybersecurity and privacy breaches, including due to artificial intelligence;

failure to manage our growth;

failure to successfully identify, negotiate and complete suitable acquisition opportunities, integrate our acquisitions or otherwise be unable to benefit from pursuing acquisitions;

fluctuations in our results;

exchange rate fluctuations;

adverse U.S. and global economic conditions;

departure of key management personnel or our inability to attract and retain talent;

infringement on or misappropriation of our intellectual property;

third-party claims that we infringe on their intellectual property; and

impairment of intangible assets, including trademarks and goodwill.

Turning Point Brands, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except where designated and per share data)

Note 1. Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Turning Point Brands, Inc., including its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products. The Company sells a wide range of products to adult consumers consisting of staple products with its iconic brands Zig-Zag ® and Stoker s ® and its next generation products to fulfill evolving consumer preferences. The Company's segments are led by its core proprietary and iconic brands: Zig-Zag ® and Stoker s ® along with FRE ®, Beech-Nut ® and Trophy ®. The Company’s products are available in more than 220,000 retail outlets in North America. The Company operates two segments, Zig-Zag products and Stoker’s products.

Discontinued Operations

On January 2, 2025, the Company contributed 100 % of its interest in South Beach Brands LLC (“SBB”), the subsidiary that owned and operated the Company’s former Creative Distribution Solutions (“CDS”) reportable segment, to General Wireless Operations, Inc. (“GWO”) in exchange for 49 % of the issued and outstanding GWO common stock. GWO is a joint venture between the Company and Standard General, LP entered into in December 2018.

As of December 31, 2024, the assets and liabilities associated with the CDS segment have been classified as held for sale. Accordingly, the financial results of the CDS segment were classified as discontinued operations and reported separately for all periods presented herein. Following the discontinued operations classification, the Company has two reportable segments, which are reflected herein. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures in the notes to these consolidated financial statements relate solely to the Company's continuing operations, comprised of the Zig-Zag and Stoker’s segments. See Note 3, "Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" for additional information regarding the CDS divestiture, including the assets and liabilities held for sale and the income or losses from discontinued operations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices described in the Company’s audited, consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 . In the opinion of management, the unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Such adjustments, other than nonrecurring adjustments separately disclosed, are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or future interim periods. The unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited, consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 . The accompanying interim, consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with respect to annual financial statements.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The changes did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in any of the periods presented.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is considered to have a controlling interest based on the voting interest entity model or the variable interest entity model. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

U.S. GAAP requires the Company to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of VIEs. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; and (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affects the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.

The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

Management of the Company has determined that Turning Point Brands Canada and ALP Supply Co, LLC ("ALP") are VIEs for which the Company is required to consolidate. The Company has a controlling financial interest of 65 % equity in Turning Point Brands Canada, provides additional subordinated financing, and has a distribution agreement for the sale of the Company’s products that makes up a significant portion of Turning Point Brands Canada’s business activities. The Company has a 50 % equity interest in ALP, provides additional financing, has a supply agreement to be the exclusive provider of product and is the primary beneficiary due to the power the Company has over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance, and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ), which includes excise taxes and shipping and handling charges billed to customers, net of cash discounts for prompt payment, sales returns and incentives, upon delivery of goods to the customer – at which time the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied - at an amount that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods in accordance with the five -step analysis outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. The Company includes in its transaction price excise taxes on smokeless tobacco, cigars or other nicotine products billed to customers, and excludes sales taxes and value-added taxes imposed at the time of sale.

The Company records an allowance for sales returns, based principally on historical volume and return rates, which is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records sales incentives, which consist of consumer incentives and trade promotion activities, as a reduction in revenues (a portion of which is based on amounts estimated to be due to wholesalers, retailers and consumers at the end of the period) based principally on historical volume and utilization rates. Expected payments for sales incentives are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

A further requirement of ASC 606 is for entities to disaggregate revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s management views business performance through segments that closely resemble the performance of major product lines. Thus, the primary and most useful disaggregation of the Company’s contract revenue for decision making purposes is the disaggregation by segment which can be found in Note 16, “Segment Information”.

Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Company classifies assets and liabilities to be sold (the “disposal group”) as held for sale in the period when all of the applicable criteria are met, including: (i) management commits to a plan to sell, (ii) the disposal group is available to sell in its present condition, (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer, (iv) the disposal group is being actively marketed at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value, (v) significant changes to the plan to sell are unlikely, and (vi) the sale of the disposal group is generally probable of being completed within one year.

Assets and liabilities held for sale are presented separately within the Consolidated Balance Sheets with any adjustments necessary to measure the disposal group at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible and right-of-use assets are not recorded while these assets are classified as held for sale. For each period the disposal group remains classified as held for sale, its recoverability is reassessed, and any necessary adjustments are made to its carrying value.

The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its operations and financial results. The results of discontinued operations are reported as Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the prior periods commencing in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Loss from discontinued operations includes direct costs attributable to the divested business and excludes any cost allocations associated with any shared or corporate functions. Loss from discontinued operations includes any gain or loss recognized upon disposition or from any adjustment of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations to fair value less costs to sell while classified as held for sale.

Shipping Costs

The Company records shipping costs incurred as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses. Shipping costs incurred were approximately $ 7.4 million and $ 4.2 million for the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first -in, first -out method. Leaf tobacco is presented in current assets in accordance with standard industry practice, notwithstanding the fact that such tobaccos are carried longer than one year for the purpose of curing.

11

Fair Value

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 ) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 ).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under GAAP are described below:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on inventory purchase commitments. The Company accounts for its forward contracts under the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Under the Company’s policy, the Company may hedge up to 100 % of its anticipated purchases of inventory in the denominated invoice currency over a forward period not to exceed twelve months. The Company may also, from time to time, hedge up to 100 % of its non-inventory purchases (e.g., production equipment) in the denominated invoice currency. Forward contracts that qualify as hedges are adjusted to their fair value through other comprehensive income as determined by market prices on the measurement date, except any hedge ineffectiveness which is recognized currently in income. Gains and losses on these forward contracts are reclassified from other comprehensive income into inventory as the related inventories are received and are transferred to net income as inventory is sold. Changes in fair value of any contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedges are recognized currently in income.

Risks and Uncertainties

Manufacturers and sellers of tobacco products are subject to regulation at the federal, state, and local levels. Such regulations include, among others, labeling requirements, limitations on advertising, and prohibition of sales to minors. The tobacco industry is likely to continue to be heavily regulated. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate content, timing, or effect of any regulation of tobacco products by any federal, state, or local legislative or regulatory body, nor can there be any assurance that any such legislation or regulation would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In a number of states targeted flavor bans have been proposed or enacted legislatively or by the administrative process. Depending on the number and location of such bans, such legislation or regulation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) continues to consider various restrictive regulations around our products, including targeted flavor bans; however, the details, timing, and ultimate implementation of such measures remain unclear.

The tobacco industry has experienced, and is experiencing, significant product liability litigation. Most tobacco liability lawsuits have been brought against manufacturers and sellers of cigarettes for injuries allegedly caused by smoking or exposure to smoke. However, several lawsuits have been brought against manufacturers and sellers of smokeless products for injuries to health allegedly caused by use of smokeless products. Typically, such claims assert that use of smokeless products is addictive and causes oral cancer. There can be no assurance the Company will not sustain losses in connection with such lawsuits and that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Master Settlement Agreement (MSA)

Pursuant to the Master Settlement Agreement (the “MSA”) entered into in November 1998 by most states (represented by their attorneys general acting through the National Association of Attorneys General) and subsequent states’ statutes, a “cigarette manufacturer” (which is defined to include a manufacturer of make-your-own (“MYO”) cigarette tobacco) has the option of either becoming a signatory to the MSA or opening, funding, and maintaining an escrow account to have funds available for certain potential tobacco-related liabilities with sub-accounts on behalf of each settling state. Such companies are entitled to direct the investment of the escrowed funds and withdraw any appreciation but cannot withdraw the principal for twenty-five years from the year of each annual deposit, except to withdraw funds deposited pursuant to an individual state’s escrow statute to pay a final judgement to that state’s plaintiffs in the event of such a final judgement against the Company. The Company chose to open and fund an escrow account as its method of compliance. It is the Company’s policy to record amounts on deposit in the escrow account for prior years as a non-current asset. As of March 31, 2025 , the Company had on deposit approximately $ 32.1 million, the fair value of which was approximately $ 29.3 million. At December 31, 2024 , the Company had on deposit approximately $ 32.1 million, the fair value of which was approximately $ 28.7 million. The Company discontinued its generic category of MYO in 2019 and its Zig-Zag branded MYO cigarette smoking tobacco in 2017. Thus, pending a change in MSA legislation, the Company has no remaining product lines covered by the MSA and will not be required to make future escrow deposits.

The Company has chosen to invest a portion of the MSA escrow, from time to time, in U.S. Government securities including TIPS, Treasury Notes, and Treasury Bonds. These investments are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value. Realized losses are prohibited under the MSA; any investment in an unrealized loss position will be held until the value is recovered, or until maturity.

Recent accounting pronouncement s

Issued but not yet adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which enhances income tax disclosures to require reporting entities to disclose annual income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and to provide additional disaggregated information for individual jurisdictions under certain conditions. The guidance also requires disclosure of amounts and percentages in the annual rate reconciliation table, rather than amounts or percentages, and will eliminate certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal 2025 annual financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied prospectively, while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance and expects its incremental disclosures will likely be provided on a prospective basis upon adoption.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance requiring reporting entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain categories of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal 2027 annual financial statements and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted, in addition to either prospective or retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact and extent to which this guidance will affect its disclosures.

Note 3. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

On January 2, 2025, the Company contributed 100 % of its interest in SBB, the subsidiary that owned and operated the Company’s former CDS segment, to GWO in exchange for 49 % of the issued and outstanding GWO common stock on a fully-diluted basis. Under certain circumstances the Company has the right to redeem the contribution of SBB from GWO at fair market value. In addition, the Company received an option with a 15 -year term to purchase the remaining 51 % of GWO at an exercise price initially set at $ 22.0 million, which decreases over time based on certain tax sharing payments to Standard General, LP.

The assets and liabilities of the CDS business were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024, and its financial results were classified as discontinued operations and reported separately for all periods presented herein. Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification in 2024, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $ 8.8 million with an equivalent valuation allowance against net assets held for sale to reduce the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value. There was no additional loss upon completion of the sale in the first quarter of 2025. Fair value of the disposal group utilized inputs within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and was determined using both a market and an income approach.

The following table summarizes the loss from discontinued operations included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three month ended March 31, 2024. The Company incurred no income or loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 4. Derivative Instruments

Foreign Currency
At March 31, 2025 , the Company had foreign currency contracts outstanding for the purchase of €0.9 million and sale of €0.9 million. The foreign currency contracts’ fair value at March 31, 2025 , resulted in an asset of $ 0.0 million included in Other current assets and a liability of $ 0.0 million included in Accrued liabilities . At December 31, 2024 , the Company had foreign currency contracts outstanding for the purchase of €2.1 million and sale of €2.1 million. The foreign currency contracts’ fair value at December 31, 2024 , resulted in an asset of $ 0.0 million included in Other current assets and a liability of $ 0.1 million included in Accrued liabilities .

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions described below. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are, by definition, short-term. Thus, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Accounts Receivable

The fair value of accounts receivable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Long-Term Debt

The Company's 2032 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.625 % per year. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value approximated $ 306.1 million, with a carrying value of $ 300.0 million.

The Company’s 2026 Notes were retired at par on February 20, 2025. As of December 31, 2024 , the fair value of the 2026 Notes approximated $ 251.2 million, with a carrying value of $ 250.0 million.

See Note 11, “Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt”, for further information regarding the Company’s long-term debt.

In December 2023, a third -party warehouse in Tennessee used to store some of the Company’s leaf tobacco incurred significant tornado damage resulting in damage to the leaf tobacco. The leaf tobacco inventory is covered by the Company’s stock throughput insurance policy and the Company believes the inventory loss is probable of being fully recovered under the policy. As a result, the Company recorded a $ 15.2 million receivable related to its leaf tobacco inventory which is included in Other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Debt and Non-Marketable Equity Investments

The Company records its non-marketable equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, that are not accounted for under the equity method, at cost, with adjustments for impairment and observable price changes. Should assumptions underlying the determination of the fair values of the Company’s non-marketable equity and debt security investments change, it could result in material future impairment charges.

In December 2018, the Company acquired a minority interest in General Wireless Operations, Inc. ("GWO") from SG Gaming LLC for $ 0.4 million. GWO is a joint venture between the Company and Standard General, LP. On January 2, 2025, the Company contributed 100 % of its interest in SBB, the subsidiary that owned and operated the Company’s former CDS reportable segment, to GWO in exchange for a 49 % equity interest. In connection with the transaction, the Company has the right to redeem the contribution of SBB from GWO at fair market value under certain circumstances. The Company also received a purchase option with a 15 -year term to acquire the remaining 51 % equity interest in GWO. The purchase option includes an initial exercise price of $ 22.0 million, which may decrease over time based on certain tax sharing payments to Standard General, LP. As a result of this transaction, the Company determined that it no longer has a controlling financial interest in SBB and, as a result, deconsolidated SBB on January 2, 2025, and accounts for its interest in GWO under the equity method of accounting. On January 2, 2025, the Company contributed net assets valued at $ 13.3 million to GWO as part of the transaction. Fair value of the Company's interest in GWO was determined utilizing the market approach and the income approach in the form of the discount cash flow method.

In July 2021, the Company invested $ 8.0 million in Old Pal Holding Company, LLC (“Old Pal”), with an additional $ 1.0 million invested in July 2022. The Company invested in the form of a convertible note which includes additional follow-on investment rights. Interest on the convertible note is payable annually in arrears in July of each year. Accrued interest of $ 0.2 million, $ 0.3 million and $0.3 million was rolled into the convertible note in July 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, resulting in a total investment of $ 9.8 million. Old Pal is a leading brand in the cannabis lifestyle space that operates a non-plant touching licensing model. The convertible note bears an interest rate of 3.0 % per year and matures July 31, 2027. Interest and principal not paid to date are receivable at maturity, and Old Pal has the option to extend the maturity date of the convertible note in one -year increments. The interest rate is subject to change based on Old Pal reaching certain sales thresholds. The weighted average interest rate on the convertible note was 3.0 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Old Pal has the option to convert the note into shares once sales reach a certain threshold. The conditions required to allow Old Pal to convert the note were not met as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company has the right to convert the note into shares at any time. The Company has classified the debt security with Old Pal as available for sale. The Company reports interest income on available for sale debt securities in interest income in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis to determine if the fair value of the Old Pal investment could be less than the amortized cost basis. In addition, the Company utilizes a third -party to perform a quantitative assessment to determine fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation (Level 3 ) when indicated, and at least bi-annually. Based upon its fair value assessments, the Company determined the fair value of Old Pal to be $ 6.5 million and $ 6.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has recorded an accrued interest receivable of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in Other current assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Available-for-Sale Marketable Securities

In December 2023, the Company formed a captive insurance company, Interchange, IC, incorporated in the District of Columbia, to write a portion of its insurance coverage, including with respect to general product, and officer and director liability coverages under deductible reinsurance policies. Interchange, IC is a fully licensed captive insurance company holding a certificate of authority from the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking. Interchange, IC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Turning Point Brands and is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

The investments held within the captive are not available for operating activities and are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. They consist of money market, stocks, corporate bonds, government securities and real estate investment trusts. The Company believes any investments held with gross unrealized losses to be temporary and not the result of credit risk.

The Company’s captive investments are summarized in the following table (excludes money market funds):

2032 Notes

On February 19, 2025, the Company entered into an indenture relating to the issuance and sale of $ 300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.625 % Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The 2032 Notes incur interest at a rate of 7.625 %, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2025. Proceeds from the offering were approximately $ 293.0 million and were used to redeem the 2026 Notes (as defined below) and for general corporate purposes.

The 2032 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by each existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The 2032 Notes and the related guarantees are secured by first -priority liens on substantially all of the existing and future assets of the Company and the Guarantors that do not secure the 2023 ABL, subject to certain exceptions. The 2032 Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) grant or incur liens; (ii) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; (iv) make certain investments; (v) pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; (vi) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (vii) consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to another entity. These covenants are subject to several limitations and exceptions set forth in the 2032 Notes Indenture. For instance, the Company is generally permitted to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends to shareholders, provided that, at the time of payment, or as a result of payment, the Company is not in default on its debt covenants; however, there are earnings and market capitalization requirements that if not met could limit the aggregate amount of quarterly dividends payable during a fiscal year. The 2032 Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs attributable to the 2032 Notes of $ 7.1 million which are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the expected life of the 2032 Notes.

2026 Notes

On February 11, 2021, the Company closed a private offering of $ 250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.625 % senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes incurred interest at a rate of 5.625%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2021. The Company used the proceeds from the offering (i) to repay all obligations under and terminate the 2018 First Lien Credit Facility, (ii) to pay related fees, costs and expenses and (iii) for general corporate purposes.

Obligations under the 2026 Notes were guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any credit facility (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes or the “2026 Notes Indenture”) or capital markets debt securities of the Company or Guarantors in excess of $ 15.0 million. The 2026 Notes and the related guarantees were secured by first -priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the 2026 Notes as of December 31, 2024.

On February 20, 2025 ( the “Redemption Date”), the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 2032 Notes to redeem all $ 250.0 million of its outstanding 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding the Redemption Date. Upon redemption of the 2026 Notes, the indenture governing the 2026 Notes was satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs attributable to the issuance of the 2026 Notes of $ 6.4 million, with the remaining $ 1.2 million written off to loss on debt extinguishment upon termination.

2023 ABL Facility

On November 7, 2023, TPB Specialty Finance, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ABL Borrower”), entered into a new $ 75.0 million asset-backed revolving credit facility (the “2023 ABL Facility”), with the several lenders thereunder, and Barclays Bank Plc, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent and First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company as additional collateral agent (the “Additional Collateral Agent”). Under the 2023 ABL Facility, the ABL Borrower may draw up to $75.0 million under Revolving Credit Loans and Last In Last Out (“LILO”) loans. The 2023 ABL Facility includes a $ 40.0 million accordion feature.  In connection with the 2023 ABL Facility, Turning Point Brands contributed certain existing inventory to the ABL Borrower. The 2023 ABL Facility is secured on a first priority basis (subject to customary exceptions) by all assets of the ABL Borrower.

The 2023 ABL Facility contains customary borrowing conditions including a borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) the lesser of ( 1 ) 85 % of the lower of (A) the market value (on a first in first out basis) of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory of the ABL Borrower and (B) 85% of the cost of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory of the ABL Borrower and ( 2 ) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (“NOLV”) percentage of the lower of ( 1 )(A) or ( 1 )(B); plus (b) 85% of the face value of all eligible accounts of the ABL Borrower minus (c) the amount of all eligible reserves.  The 2023 ABL Facility also includes a LILO borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) the lesser of: ( 1 ) 10 % of the lower of (A) the market value (on a first in first out basis) of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory of the ABL Borrower and (B) the cost of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory and ( 2 ) 10% of the NOLV percentage of the lower of  ( 1 )(A) or ( 1 )(B); plus (b) 10% of the face amount of eligible account; minus (c) the amount of all eligible reserves.

Amounts borrowed under the 2023 ABL Facility are subject to an interest rate margin per annum equal to (a) from and after the closing date until the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ended after the closing date, (i) 1.25 % per annum, in the case base rate loans, and (ii) 2.25 % per annum, in the case of revolving credit loans that are secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) loans, (b)(i) 2.25% per annum, in the case of LILO loans that are base rate loans, and (ii) 3.25 % per annum, in the case of LILO loans that are SOFR loans, (c) on the first day of each fiscal quarter, the applicable interest rate margins will be determined from the pricing grid below based upon the historical excess availability for the most recent fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the relevant date, as calculated by the Administrative Agent.

2.00 % 1.00 %

III

The 2023 ABL Facility also requires the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any four consecutive fiscal quarters if excess availability shall be less than the greater of (a) 12.5 % of the line cap and (b) $ 9.4 million, at any time and continuing until excess availability is equal to or exceeds the greater of (i) 12.5% of the line and (ii) $9.4 million for thirty ( 30 ) consecutive calendar days; provided that such $9.4 million level shall automatically increase in proportion to the amount of any increase in the aggregate revolving credit commitments thereunder in connection with any incremental facility.

The 2023 ABL Facility shall mature on the earlier of ( x ) November 7, 2027 and (y) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of any material debt of the ABL Borrower or the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary extensions agreed by the lenders thereunder); provided that clause (y) shall not apply to the extent that on any applicable date of determination (on any date prior to the date set forth in clause (y)), (A) the sum of ( x ) cash that is held in escrow for the repayment of such material debt pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y) cash that is held in accounts with the Administrative Agent and/or the Additional Collateral Agent, plus (z) excess availability, is sufficient to repay such material debt and (B) the ABL Borrower has excess availability of at least $ 15.0 million after giving effect to such repayment of material debt, including any borrowings under the commitments in connection therewith.

The Company has not drawn any borrowings under the 2023 ABL Facility but has letters of credit of approximately $ 2.3 million outstanding under the facility and has an available balance of $ 62.2 million based on the borrowing base as of March 31, 2025 .

The Company incurred debt issuance costs attributable to the 2023 ABL Facility of $ 2.6 million which are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the expected life of the 2023 ABL Facility.

Convertible Senior Notes

In July 2019, the Company closed an offering of $ 172.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.50 % convertible senior notes due July 15, 2024 ( the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The Convertible Senior Notes were senior unsecured obligations of the Company and the remaining outstanding balance of $ 118.5 million was retired with cash on July 15, 2024 with no principal amounts remaining outstanding or held by third parties.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 11.4 % and 23.4 %, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes permanent tax differences related to the Company's restricted stock units that were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740 - 10 - 25, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than- not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has determined that the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under the provisions of ASC 740 - 10 - 25. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of interest expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations for years prior to 2021.

Note 13. Share Incentive Plans

On March 22, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Turning Point Brands, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), pursuant to which awards may be granted to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants. In addition, the 2021 Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, 1,290,000 shares, plus 100,052 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), of TPB Common Stock are reserved for issuance as awards to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants as compensation for past or future services or the attainment of certain performance goals. The 2021 Plan is scheduled to terminate on March 21, 2031. The 2021 Plan is administered by the compensation committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Committee determines the vesting criteria for the awards, with such criteria to be specified in the award agreement. As of March 31, 2025, net of forfeitures, there were 433,481 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), 122,570 options and 107,978 Performance Based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) granted under the 2021 Plan. There are 726,023 shares available for future grant under the 2021 Plan.

On April 28, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2015 Plan, pursuant to which awards could have been granted to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants. In addition, the 2015 Plan provided for the granting of nonqualified stock options to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Upon adoption of the 2021 Plan, the 2015 Plan was terminated, and the Company determined no additional grants would be made under the 2015 Plan. However, all awards issued under the 2015 Plan that have not been previously terminated or forfeited remain outstanding and continue unaffected. There are no shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

Under the 2015 and 2021 Plans, the total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 , was $ 0.6 million, and $ 0.0 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2025 , under the 2015 and 2021 Plans, the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant. The expected volatility is based on the average long-term historical volatilities of peer companies. We intend to continue to consistently use the same group of publicly traded peer companies to determine expected volatility until sufficient information regarding volatility of our share price becomes available or until the selected companies are no longer suitable for this purpose. Due to our limited trading history, we are using the simplified method presented by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to calculate expected holding periods, which represent the periods of time for which options granted are expected to be outstanding. We will continue to use this method until we have sufficient historical exercise experience to give us confidence in the reliability of our calculations. The fair values of these options were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

PRSUs are restricted stock units subject to both performance-based and service-based vesting conditions. The number of shares of TPB Common Stock a recipient will receive upon vesting of a PRSU will be calculated by reference to certain performance metrics related to the Company’s performance over a five -year period. PRSUs will vest on the measurement date, which is no more than 65 days after the performance period provided the applicable service and performance conditions are satisfied. As of March 31, 2025 , there are 286,655 PRSUs outstanding. The following table outlines the PRSUs granted and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 .

Note 14. Contingencies

Other major tobacco companies are defendants in product liability claims. In a number of these cases, the amounts of punitive and compensatory damages sought are significant and, if such a claim were brought against the Company, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition to potential future claims related to our core tobacco products, we are subject to certain lawsuits alleging personal injuries resulting from malfunctioning vaporizer devices sold by our former Creative Distribution Solutions business. The potential losses associated with any such lawsuits are not currently reasonably estimable and therefore are not accrued.

Note 16. Segment Information

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has two reportable segments, Zig-Zag products and Stoker’s products. The Zig-Zag products segment markets and distributes (i) rolling papers, tubes, and related products; (ii) finished cigars and MYO cigar wraps; and (iii) lighters and other accessories. The Stoker’s products segment (i) manufactures and markets moist snuff, (ii) contracts for and markets loose-leaf chewing tobacco products, and (iii) contracts for and markets its modern oral product. The Company's products are distributed primarily through wholesale distributors in the U.S. and Canada. Corporate unallocated includes the costs and assets of the Company not assigned to one of the two reportable segments and includes corporate overhead expense, including executive management, finance, legal and information technology salaries, and professional services such as audit, external legal costs and information technology services, as well as costs related to the FDA premarket tobacco product application.

The Company’s CODM is its President and Chief Executive Officer and uses segment operating income as the measure of earnings to evaluate the performance of each segment and to make decisions about allocating resources, including employees, property, plant and equipment, as well as financial and capital resources. On a quarterly basis, the CODM reviews segment operating income budget-to-actual variances to assess segment performance and make resource allocation decisions. For both reportable segments, cost of sales is the significant segment expense that is regularly provided to the CODM.

The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those of the Company. Corporate costs are not directly charged to the two reportable segments in the ordinary course of operations.

Note 17. Dividends and Share Repurchases

A dividend of $ 0.075 per common share was paid on April 11, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2025.

The Company currently pays a quarterly cash dividend. Dividends are considered restricted payments under the 2032 Notes Indenture. The Company is generally permitted to make restricted payments provided that, at the time of payment, or as a result of payment, the Company is not in default on its debt covenants; however, there are earnings and market capitalization requirements that if not met could limit the aggregate amount of restricted, quarterly dividends during a fiscal year.

On February 25, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $ 50.0 million share repurchase program which is intended for opportunistic execution based upon a variety of factors including market dynamics. The program is subject to the ongoing discretion of the Board of Directors. On October 25, 2021, the Board of Directors increased the approved share repurchase program by $ 30.7 million, and by an additional $ 24.6 million on February 24, 2022. On November 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the Company’s share repurchase authorization by $ 77.9 million to an aggregate amount of $ 100.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 there were no shares repurchased under the share repurchase program.

The following Management s Discussion and Analysis ( MD&A ) relates to the unaudited financial statements of Turning Point Brands, Inc., included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The MD&A is intended to enable the reader to understand the Company s financial condition and results of operations, including any material changes in the Company s financial condition and results of operations since December 31, 2024, and as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the 2024 Annual Report ).

In this MD&A, unless the context requires otherwise, references to our Company we, our, or us refer to Turning Point Brands, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to TPB refer to Turning Point Brands, Inc., without any of its subsidiaries. Many of the amounts and percentages in this discussion have been rounded for convenience of presentation.

Overview

Turning Point Brands, Inc. is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products. We sell a wide range of products to adult consumers consisting of staple products with our iconic brands Zig-Zag® and Stoker’s® to fulfill evolving consumer preferences. Among other markets, we compete in the alternative smoking accessories and Other Tobacco Products (“OTP”) industries. The alternative smoking accessories market is a dynamic market experiencing robust secular growth driven by cannabinoid legalization in the U.S. and Canada, and positively evolving consumer perception and acceptance in North America. The OTP industry, which consists of non-cigarette tobacco products, exhibited low-single-digit consumer unit annualized declines during the year ended December 31, 2024, as reported by Management Science Associates, Inc. (“MSAi”) a third-party analytics and information company. Our segments are led by our core proprietary and iconic brands: Zig-Zag® in the Zig-Zag products segment, and Stoker’s® along with FRE®, Beech-Nut® and Trophy® in the Stoker’s products segment. Our businesses generate solid cash flow which we use to invest in our business, finance acquisitions, increase brand support, expand our distribution infrastructure, and strengthen our capital position. We currently ship to approximately 900 distributors with an additional 600 secondary, indirect wholesalers in the U.S. that carry and sell our products. Under the leadership of a senior management team with extensive experience in the consumer products, alternative smoking accessories and tobacco industries, we have grown and diversified our business through new product launches, category expansions, and acquisitions while concurrently improving operational efficiency.

We believe there are meaningful opportunities to grow through investing in organic growth, acquisitions and joint ventures across all product categories. Our products are available in approximately 200,000 U.S. retail locations which, with the addition of retail stores in Canada, brings our total North American retail presence to an estimated 220,000 points of distribution. Our sales team targets widespread distribution to all traditional retail channels, including convenience stores, and we have a growing e-commerce business.

Discontinued Operations

On January 2, 2025, the Company contributed 100% of its interest in South Beach Brands LLC (“SBB”), the subsidiary that owned and operated the Company's former Creative Distribution Solutions (“CDS”) reportable segment, to General Wireless Operations, Inc. (“GWO”) in exchange for 49% of the issued and outstanding GWO common stock. GWO is a joint venture between the Company and Standard General, LP entered into in December 2018. CDS marketed and distributed liquid nicotine and ancillary products without tobacco and/or nicotine primarily through non-traditional retail and B2C online platforms, and included widely recognized names such as Vapor Beast® and VaporFi®.

Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details regarding the CDS divestiture.

Products

We operate in two segments: Zig-Zag products and Stoker’s products segments. In our Zig-Zag products segment, we principally market and distribute (i) rolling papers, tubes, and related products; (ii) finished cigars and make-your-own (“MYO”) cigar wraps; and (iii) lighters and other accessories.  In addition, we have a majority stake in Turning Point Brands Canada which is a specialty marketing and distribution firm focused on building brands in the Canadian cannabis accessories, tobacco and alternative products categories. In our Stoker’s products segment, we (i) manufacture and market moist snuff tobacco (“MST”); (ii) contract for and market modern oral products; and (iii) contract for and market loose-leaf chewing tobacco products.

Operations

Our core Zig-Zag products and Stoker’s products segments primarily generate revenues from the sale of our products to wholesale distributors who, in turn, resell the products to retail operations. Our net sales, which include federal excise taxes, consist of gross sales net of cash discounts, returns, and selling and marketing allowances.

We rely on long-standing relationships with high-quality, established manufacturers to provide the majority of our produced products. Approximately 75% of our production, as measured by net sales, is outsourced to suppliers. The remaining production consists primarily of our moist snuff tobacco operations located in Dresden, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky. Our principal operating expenses include the cost of raw materials used to manufacture the limited number of our products which we produce in-house; the cost of finished products, which are generally purchased goods; federal excise taxes; legal expenses; and compensation expenses, including benefits and costs of salaried personnel.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We consider the following to be the key factors affecting our results of operations:

Our ability to further penetrate markets with our existing products;

Our ability to introduce new products and product lines that complement our core business;

Decreasing interest in some tobacco products among consumers;

Price sensitivity in our end-markets;

Marketing and promotional initiatives, which cause variability in our results;

Cost related to increasing regulation of promotional and advertising activities;

General economic conditions, including consumer access to disposable income and other conditions affecting purchasing power such as inflation and the interest rate environment;

Labor and production costs;

Cost of complying with regulation, including the “deeming regulation”, as well as the unpredictable nature of the regulatory regimes;

Changes to U.S. trade policies, including tariffs;

Counterfeit and other illegal products in our end-markets;

Currency fluctuations;

Our ability to identify attractive acquisition opportunities; and

Our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025, to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Net Sales: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, consolidated net sales increased $23.4 million, or 28.1% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by an increase in the Stoker’s products segment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net sales in the Zig-Zag products segment increased $0.6 million, or 1.2% compared to the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by $1.5 million of growth in our cigar products and $0.5 million of growth in our Canadian products partially offset by a decline of $0.8 million in U.S. papers and wraps and $0.5 million in the Clipper lighter business.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net sales in the Stoker’s products segment increased $22.8 million, or 62.7% compared to the prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, sales volume of Stoker’s products increased 55.1% compared to the prior year period, which contributed $20.0 million to the increase, and price/product mix increased 7.6% compared to the prior year period, which contributed $2.8 million to the increase. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by $20.0 million of sales in modern oral products and $2.4 million of growth of Stoker s ® MST.

Gross Profit: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, consolidated gross profit increased $11.3 million, or 23.3% compared to the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 56.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 58.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The overall increase in gross profit was driven by increases in net sales.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit in the Zig-Zag products segment increased $0.7 million and margins were flat on a sequential quarter basis. Compared to the first quarter of the prior year, gross profit decreased $2.0 million, or 7.2%. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 54.1% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 59.0% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven primarily by a decrease in net sales of U.S. papers and wraps products, which generate higher margins, partially offset by higher net sales of cigar products which generate lower margins than other products in the segment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit in the Stoker’s products segment increased $13.2 million, or 63.6% compared to the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 57.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 57.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by increases in net sales of modern oral products.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $7.3 million, or 25.2% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased shipping and selling costs related to the increase in modern oral sales in the quarter compared to the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025, included $1.7 million of stock options, restricted stock and incentives expense, $1.6 million of expense related to PMTA, $0.2 million of transaction costs and $0.2 million of expense related to the implementation of the new ERP and CRM systems. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2024, included $2.1 million of stock options, restricted stock and incentives expense, $1.3 million of expense related to corporate restructuring, $0.8 million of expense related to PMTA and $0.1 million of expense related to the new ERP and CRM systems.

Operating Income: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, consolidated operating income increased $3.9 million, or 20.3% compared to the prior year period. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 21.8% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 23.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by decreased gross profit in the Zig-Zag products segment, partially offset by increased gross profit in the Stoker’s products segments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating income in the Zig-Zag products segment decreased $1.1 million, or 5.9% compared to the prior year period. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 35.8% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 38.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by lower gross profit in our Canadian products business, U.S. papers and cigar products, combined with higher operational costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating income in the Stoker’s products segment increased $8.7 million, or 56.8% compared to the prior year period. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.8% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 42.3% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by higher net sales of modern oral products which represented a higher percentage of the segment’s sales compared to the prior year period at lower margins than other products in the segment, partially offset by Stoker’s MST net sales growth at higher margins.

Included in consolidated operating income are costs of the Company which are not assigned to one of the two reportable segments and include: (i) corporate overhead expense, including executive management, finance, legal and information technology salaries, and professional services, such as audit, external legal costs and information technology services, as well as (ii) costs related to the FDA premarket tobacco product application. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, unallocated costs were $17.9 million compared to $14.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of $3.7 million or 26.5%, primarily driven by joint venture corporate related expenses.

Interest Expense, net: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest expense, net increased $0.9 million compared to the prior year period as a result of the issuance of the 2032 Notes in February 2025 which bear interest at a higher rate and have a higher outstanding principal amount than the 2026 Notes which were repaid with proceeds from the issuance of the 2032 Notes.

Investment Gain: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, investment gain increased $0.2 million compared the prior year period. The change is primarily the result of increased investment in GWO in February 2025.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt: L oss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $1.2 million compared to the prior year period as a result of the redemption of the 2026 Notes in February 2025.

Income Tax Expense: Our income tax expense of $2.0 million was 11.4% of income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our effective income tax rate was 23.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in tax rate compared to the prior year period is due to the inclusion of permanent tax differences related to the Company's restricted stock units that were issued in the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest: Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $1.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.  The increase in non-controlling interest compared to the prior year period is due to the consolidation of a joint venture starting in December 2024.

Net Income Attributable to Turning Point Brands, Inc.: Due to the factors described above, net income attributable to Turning Point Brands, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was $14.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

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 and Adjusted EBITDA. 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 is used by management to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and is presented to our Board of Directors. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate measures of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to operating performance. In addition, our debt instruments contain covenants which use Adjusted EBITDA calculations.

We define “EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, income tax expense, depreciation, and 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 we do not consider the ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance noted in the reconciliation below. Among other items that we adjust Adjusted EBITDA for is FDA PMTA expense. The Company believes it is appropriate to adjust for this spend as the costs are incurred in connection with what we view as a non-traditional regulatory process that requires applications be submitted for covered products that are already on the market. As a result, Company’s management believes it is most appropriate to assess the performance of the Company’s business – the sale of our various products - without regard to these costs and believes that adjusting for these costs provides investors and the public markets with the most meaningful metrics to assess performance of the business.

Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant expenses required to be recorded in our financial statements by U.S. GAAP and is subject to inherent limitations. 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. The tables below provide reconciliations between net income and Adjusted EBITDA.

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.

(f) Represents a mark-to-market loss attributable to foreign exchange fluctuation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, we have $99.6 million of cash on hand and have $62.2 million of availability under the 2023 ABL Facility. We have no borrowings outstanding under our ABL as of March 31, 2025. Our principal uses for cash are working capital, debt service, and capital expenditures.

Our adjusted working capital, which we define as current assets less cash and current liabilities, decreased $6.5 million compared to the prior year end. Excluding assets and liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2024, our adjusted working capital increased $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in working capital is primarily the result of a $18.8 million increase in current assets, partially offset by an increase of $15.3 million in accounts payable. With our strong cash balance, free cash flow generation and borrowing availability under the 2023 ABL Facility, we expect to have ample liquidity to satisfy our operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $17.4 million, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an unfavorable change in working capital of $7.7 million, partially offset by an increase in net income, net of non-cash items of $6.0 million. The primary drivers of non-cash items were a $1.6 million increase in deferred tax expense and a $1.2 million increase in loss on extinguishment of debt compared to the prior year period. The decrease in cash from working capital compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by the timing of payments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $5.2 million, a decrease of $2.8 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a net decrease in purchases in investments of $6.9 million by our captive insurance subsidiary compared to the prior year period, partially offset by increases in equity investments of $2.8 million and capital expenditures of $1.8 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $38.5 million, an increase of $43.1 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in cash of $43.2 million related to the February 2025 issuance of the 2032 Notes partially offset by the redemption of the 2026 Notes.

Dividends and Share Repurchase

A dividend of $0.075 per common share was paid on April 11, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2025.

On February 25, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program, which is intended for opportunistic execution based upon a variety of factors including market dynamics. The program is subject to the ongoing discretion of the Board of Directors. On October 25, 2021, the Board of Directors increased the approved share repurchase program by $30.7 million, and by $24.6 million on February 24, 2022. On November 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the Company’s share repurchase authorization by $77.9 million to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no repurchases under the share repurchase program.

2032 Notes

In February 2025, we closed a private offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior secured notes due to mature on March 15, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2025. We used the proceeds from the offering (i) to repay all obligations under and terminate the 2026 Notes (as defined below), (ii) to pay related fees, costs, and expenses and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The 2032 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by each current wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiary of the Company that guaranteed the 2026 Notes. The 2032 Notes and the related guarantees are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. Proceeds from the offering were approximately $293.0 million.

The 2032 Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) grant or incur liens; (ii) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; (iv) make certain investments; (v) pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; (vi) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (vii) consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to another entity. These covenants are subject to several limitations and exceptions set forth in the 2032 Notes Indenture. For instance, the Company is generally permitted to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends to shareholders, provided that, at the time of payment, or as a result of payment, the Company is not in default on its debt covenants; however, there are earnings and market capitalization requirements that if not met could limit the aggregate amount of quarterly dividends payable during a fiscal year. The 2032 Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default.

We incurred debt issuance costs attributable to the 2032 Notes of $7.1 million which are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the expected life of the 2032 Notes.

2026 Notes

On February 11, 2021, we closed a private offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.625% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes incurred interest at a rate of 5.625%. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2021.We used the proceeds from the offering (i) to repay all obligations under and terminate the 2018 First Lien Credit Facility, (ii) to pay related fees, costs and expenses and (iii) for general corporate purposes. In February 2025, we redeemed the 2026 Notes with the proceeds from the offering of the 2032 Notes.

Obligations under the 2026 Notes were guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) that guarantee any credit facility (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes or the “2026 Notes Indenture”) or capital markets debt securities of the Company or Guarantors in excess of $15.0 million. The 2026 Notes and the related guarantees were secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. We were in compliance with all covenants under the 2026 Notes as of December 31, 2024.

We incurred debt issuance costs attributable to the issuance of the 2026 Notes of $6.4 million, with the remaining $1.2 million written off to loss on debt extinguishment upon redemption.

2023 ABL Facility

On November 7, 2023, TPB Specialty Finance, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ABL Borrower”), entered into a new $75.0 million  asset-backed revolving credit facility (the “2023 ABL Facility”), with the several lenders thereunder, and Barclays Bank Plc, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent and First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company as additional collateral agent (the “Additional Collateral Agent”). Under the 2023 ABL Facility, the ABL Borrower may draw up to $75.0 million under Revolving Credit Loans and Last In Last Out (“LILO”) Loans. The 2023 ABL Facility includes a $40.0 million accordion feature.  In connection with the 2023 ABL Facility, Turning Point Brands contributed certain existing inventory to the ABL Borrower. The 2023 ABL Facility is secured on a first priority basis (subject to customary exceptions) by all assets of the ABL Borrower.

The 2023 ABL Facility contains customary borrowing conditions including a borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) the lesser of (1) 85% of the lower of (A) the market value (on a first in first out basis) of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory of the ABL Borrower and (B) 85% of the cost of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory of the ABL Borrower and (2) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (“NOLV”) percentage of the lower of (1)(A) or (1)(B); plus (b) 85% of the face value of all eligible accounts of the ABL Borrower minus (c) the amount of all eligible reserves.  The 2023 ABL Facility also includes a LILO borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) the lesser of: (1) 10% of the lower of (A) the market value (on a first in first out basis) of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory of the ABL Borrower and (B) the cost of the sum of eligible inventory, plus eligible in-transit inventory and (2) 10% of the NOLV percentage of the lower of  (1)(A) or (1)(B); plus (b) 10% of the face amount of eligible account; minus (c) the amount of all eligible reserves.

Amounts borrowed under the 2023 ABL Facility are subject to an interest rate margin per annum equal to (a) from and after the closing date until the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ended after the closing date, (i) 1.25% per annum, in the case base rate loans, and (ii) 2.25% per annum, in the case of revolving credit loans that are secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) loans, (b)(i) 2.25% per annum, in the case of LILO loans that are base rate loans, and (ii) 3.25% per annum, in the case of LILO loans that are SOFR loans, (c) on the first day of each fiscal quarter, the applicable interest rate margins will be determined from the pricing grid below based upon the historical excess availability for the most recent fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the relevant date, as calculated by the Administrative Agent.

Applicable Margin

Applicable Margin

Level

I

Greater than or equal to 66.66%

1.75% 0.75%

II

2.00% 1.00%

III

Less than 33.33%

2.25% 1.25%

The 2023 ABL Facility also requires the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any four consecutive fiscal quarters if excess availability is less than the greater of (a) 12.5% of the line cap and (b) $9.4 million, at any time and continuing until excess availability is equal to or exceeds the greater of (i) 12.5% of the line and (ii) $9.4 million for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days with the $9.4 million level automatically increased in proportion to the amount of any increase in the aggregate revolving credit commitments thereunder in connection with any incremental facility.

The 2023 ABL Facility will mature on the earlier of (x) November 7, 2027 and (y) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of any material debt of the ABL Borrower or the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary extensions agreed by the lenders thereunder); provided that clause (y) will not apply to the extent that on any applicable date of determination (on any date prior to the date set forth in clause (y)), (A) the sum of (x) cash that is held in escrow for the repayment of such material debt pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y) cash that is held in accounts with the Administrative Agent and/or the Additional Collateral Agent, plus (z) excess availability, is sufficient to repay such material debt and (B) the ABL Borrower has excess availability of at least $15.0 million after giving effect to such repayment of material debt, including any borrowings under the commitments in connection therewith.

The Company has not drawn any borrowings under the 2023 ABL Facility but has letters of credit of approximately $2.3 million outstanding under the facility and has an available balance of $62.2 million based on the borrowing base as of March 31, 2025.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs attributable to the 2023 ABL Facility of $2.6 million which are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the expected life of the 2023 ABL Facility.

Convertible Senior Notes

The Company's 2.5% convertible senior notes matured and were retired with cash on July 1, 2024. No principal amounts remained outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

Additional Information with Respect to Unrestricted Subsidiaries

Under the terms of the 2032 Notes, and the 2026 Notes that were recently redeemed with proceeds from the February 2025 issuance of the 2032 Notes, the Company designated certain of its subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” as of December 31, 2024, including Interchange Partners LLC and Intrepid Brands, LLC. The Company is required under the terms of the indentures governing the Notes to present additional information that reflects the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of and for the periods presented.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2025, we had foreign currency contracts outstanding for the purchase and sale of €0.9 million with maturity dates ranging from April to June 2025. The fair value of the foreign currency contracts were based on quoted market prices and resulted in an asset of $0.0 million included in Other current assets and a liability of $0.0 million included in Accrued liabilities at March 31, 2025. During 2024, we executed various foreign exchange contracts for the purchase and sale of €3.6 million. At December 31, 2024, we had foreign currency contracts outstanding for the purchase and sale of €2.1 million. The fair value of the foreign currency contracts were based on quoted market prices and resulted in an asset of $0.0 million included in Other current assets and a liability of $0.1 million included in Accrued liabilities at December 31, 2024.

Inflation

Inflation has a substantial negative effect on the purchasing power of consumers. While historically, we have been able to increase prices at a rate equal to or greater than that of inflation, doing so could be difficult in an inflationary environment. However, we have implemented price increases in areas where doing so has been feasible. In addition, we have been able to maintain a relatively stable variable cost structure for our products due, in part, to our existing contractual agreements for the purchases of tobacco and our premium cigarette rolling papers.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in our exposure to exchange rate fluctuation risk, as reported within our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to our ‘Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk’ included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Credit Risk

There have been no material changes in our exposure to credit risk, as reported within our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Please refer to our ‘Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk’ included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

In February 2025, we issued the 2032 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million. We carry the 2032 Notes at face value. Since the 2032 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. Our remaining debt instrument is the 2023 ABL Facility, which has no borrowing outstanding.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision, and with the participation of, our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934), as of March 31, 2025. Based upon the evaluation, our CEO, CFO, and CAO concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date solely due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, during our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective solely due to the existence of the following material weakness:

We did not design and maintain effective internal controls related to our information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and program change-management over certain information technology (“IT”) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. Our business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. We believe that these control deficiencies were a result of: IT control processes lacking sufficient documentation such that the successful operation of ITGCs was overly dependent upon knowledge and actions of certain individuals with IT expertise and inherent system limitations.

The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to our financial statements, and there were no changes to previously released financial results. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded through testing that these controls are operating effectively.

Remediation Plan

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) completing the implementation of a new ERP system, which is expected to be completed in 2025; (ii) engaging third-party consultants to assist in the review, planning and implementation of systems and tools designed to support the remediation processes; (iii)  developing and maintaining documentation underlying ITGCs; (iv) implementing an IT management review and testing plan to monitor ITGCs with a specific focus on systems that support our financial reporting processes; (v) providing training for control owners and reviewers with a specific focus on identifying, addressing and documenting risks; and (vi) providing enhanced quarterly reporting on the remediation progress to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

While we have made significant progress in strengthening our internal controls, the previously identified material weakness was not fully remediated as of March 31, 2025. We expect to complete the remediation by the end of fiscal year 2025, as at that time the referenced controls will have been in place for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate operating effectiveness.

Role of the Audit Committee in Material Weakness Remediation

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is actively overseeing the remediation of the material weaknesses. Working closely with management, as well as with the Company’s internal audit, finance teams, and independent auditors, the Audit Committee has and will continue to monitor and evaluate the progress of the remediation throughout the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Regular updates on the remediation have been and will continue to be provided to the Board of Directors, with the Audit Committee ensuring management’s testing of the remediated controls is completed as soon as practicable

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than in connection with aspects of our remediation plan, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 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

See “Risk Factors—We are subject to significant product liability litigation” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, carefully consider the factors discussed in the ‘Risk Factors’ section contained in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors set forth in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On February 25, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program, which is intended for opportunistic execution based upon a variety of factors including market dynamics. On October 25, 2021, the Board of Directors increased the approved share repurchase program by $30.7 million, and by an additional $24.6 million on February 24, 2022. On November 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the Company’s share repurchase authorization by $77.9 million to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million. This share repurchase program has no expiration date and is subject to the ongoing discretion of the Board of Directors. All repurchases to date under our stock repurchase programs have been made through open market transactions, but in the future, we may also purchase shares through privately negotiated transactions or 10b5-1 repurchase plans.

The following table includes information regarding purchases of our common stock made by us during the three months ended March 31, 2025 in connection with the repurchase program described above.
