-Net Sales for Q2 2023 Zig-Zag and Stoker’s Products Increased 3.7 Percent Year-Over-Year
-Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2023 Increased 2.2 Percent Year-Over-Year
Turning Point Brands, Inc. (“TPB” or “the Company”) (NYSE: TPB), a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products, including alternative smoking accessories and consumables with active ingredients, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022
Graham Purdy, President and CEO, commented: “Our second quarter results demonstrated continued progress against our plan. The Zig-Zag segment grew double-digits sequentially from the first quarter as trade inventory normalized. Stoker’s had another solid quarter of performance led by double-digit growth in Stoker’s MST. We opportunistically purchased another $15.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our convertible notes during the second quarter while maintaining a strong cash balance. Given our solid first half performance, we are raising our guidance for the full year.”
Zig-Zag Products Segment (44% of total net sales in the quarter)
For the second quarter, Zig-Zag Products net sales increased 1.1% to $46.7 million. TPB’s Canadian and other smoking accessories businesses saw strong growth during the quarter which was partially offset by declines in the U.S. rolling papers and wraps businesses.
For the quarter, the Zig-Zag Products segment gross profit was steady at $26.4 million. Gross margin declined 60 basis points to 56.6% driven primarily by product mix.
“Our e-commerce business had another quarter of double-digit growth as we continue to build our omni-channel presence,” said Purdy. “We remain encouraged by our prospects with secular cannabis consumption growth trends driving demand for our products.”
Stoker’s Products Segment (34% of total net sales in the quarter)
For the second quarter, Stoker’s Products net sales increased 7.3% to $36.1 million. Double-digit growth of MST offset a decline in loose-leaf chewing tobacco. For the second quarter, total Stoker’s Products segment volume increased 0.7%, while price / mix increased 6.6%.
For the quarter, the Stoker’s Products segment gross profit increased 10.4% to $20.0 million. Gross margin expanded 160 basis points to 55.4% due to MST pricing gains.
“Stoker’s continues to benefit from strong market share gains in both the MST and loose-leaf chewing tobacco categories as its value proposition continues to resonate with consumers,” continued Purdy.
Performance Measures in the Second Quarter
Second quarter consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $31.9 million compared to $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2022.
The second quarter SG&A included the following notable items:
Total gross debt as of June 30, 2023 was $383.5 million. Net debt (total gross debt less unrestricted cash) at June 30, 2023 was $283.0 million. The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $124.1 million, comprised of $100.5 million in cash and $23.6 million of revolving credit facility capacity.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased $15.1 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2024.
The Company recorded an impairment charge of $4.1 million during the quarter related to historical minority investments in development stage ventures.
2023 Outlook
At this time, the Company expects full-year 2023 adjusted EBITDA to be $90 to $95 million (compared to previous outlook of $88 to $94 million).
Creative Distribution Solutions (“CDS”) (22% of total net sales in the quarter)
For the second quarter, CDS (formerly the Company’s “NewGen” segment) net sales were $22.8 million, gross profit was $6.1 million, and gross margin was 26.7%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, we use non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income are used by management to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and are presented to our board of directors. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income are appropriate measures of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance.
We define “EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items and other items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted Net Income” as net income excluding items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted Diluted EPS” as diluted earnings per share excluding items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted Gross Profit: as gross profit excluding other non-cash items and other items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted Operating Income” as operating income excluding other non-cash items and other items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance.
Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate this non-U.S. GAAP measure differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
In accordance with SEC rules, we have provided, in the supplemental information attached, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the next directly comparable GAAP measures.
