Turning Point Brands Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results, Increases 2020 Guidance

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--()--Turning Point Brands, Inc. (“TPB”) (NYSE: TPB), a leading provider of Other Tobacco Products (“OTP”) and adult consumer alternatives, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Results at a Glance

Second Quarter 2020

(Comparisons vs. same period year-ago)

  • Net sales increased 12.5% to $105.0 million;
  • Gross profit increased 16.8% to $48.1 million;
  • Net income decreased $4.0 million to $9.2 million, reflecting the inclusion of expensing PMTA costs incurred during the current quarter compared to the net gain related to a settlement from the V2 wind-down in the previous year’s quarter;
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 24.8% to $22.8 million (see Schedule A for a reconciliation to net income);
  • Diluted EPS of $0.47 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.71 as compared to $0.66 and $0.52 in the year-ago period, respectively (see Schedule B for a reconciliation to Diluted EPS);

“Our Smokeless segment saw high-teens growth driven by same store sales growth of Stoker’s MST along with accelerated secular consumer trade-down trends across the entire Smokeless category. Smoking grew despite the headwind of a COVID-related plant shutdown in MYO cigar wraps, which was more than offset by the ramp of our growth initiatives. Our NewGen segment delivered an extraordinary quarter as our B2C platform saw elevated sales levels from a consumer shift to online purchasing and our B2B platform gained share in the marketplace from internal initiatives and COVID-related marketplace disruptions,” said Larry Wexler, President and CEO. “This quarter saw favorable financial results even absent any temporary benefits, the acquisition of important strategic assets from Durfort Holdings, the completion of the SDI merger (closed July 16), and progress toward the filing of our premarket tobacco applications. Looking forward, TPB is well-positioned to further advance growth initiatives and new product introductions.”

Recent Events

On June 10, 2020, TPB announced the acquisition of certain tobacco assets and distribution rights from Durfort Holdings S.R.L. (“Durfort”) and Blunt Wrap USA for a total consideration of $46 million. Durfort was the long-time supplier of TPB’s Make-Your-Own (“MYO”) cigar wrap products. Through this transaction, TPB acquired co-ownership in the intellectual property rights of all Durfort’s and Blunt Wrap’s Homogenized Tobacco Leaf (“HTL”) cigar wraps and cones. The acquisition eliminated royalty related expenses on HTL cigar wraps and cones, providing for expanded margins. TPB also entered into an exclusive Master Distribution Agreement to market and sell the original Blunt Wrap® cigar wraps brand in the USA, adding direct access to untapped alternative channels. The purchase price was satisfied through $36 million in cash at closing and a $10 million promissory note.

On July 16, 2020, TPB completed its merger (“Merger”) with Standard Diversified Inc. (“SDI”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of SDI’s Common Stock received 0.52095 shares of TPB’s Voting Common Stock. As a result of the transaction, TPB no longer has a controlling shareholder, and approximately 245,000 shares of TPB Common Stock were retired. The transaction significantly improved the public float of shares outstanding and eliminated the overhang of a controlling holding company structure.

COVID Commentary

During the quarter, TPB tackled several challenges and adapted to an environment that was continually re-shaped by the COVID pandemic. Our supply chain has remained operational other than a brief shutdown at our third-party manufacturer for MYO cigar wraps. Given the ongoing situation, we continue to monitor for additional disruptions. Overall, as an organization, we have made a relatively seamless adjustment to the “new normal” with demonstrated success in our tele-selling initiatives and a shift to video conference communications, among other changes. We did experience higher operational costs related to maintaining a safer work environment and fulfilling orders as a result of COVID.

Smokeless Products Segment (29% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the second quarter, Smokeless products net sales increased 17.7% to $30.8 million on continued double-digit growth of Stoker’s MST. Sales of chewing tobacco were up mid-single-digits as compared to the year-ago quarter. MST represented 58% of Smokeless revenues in the quarter, up from 53% a year earlier. In the quarter, total Smokeless segment volume increased 13.9% and price/mix advanced 3.8%.

“Stoker’s MST market share continued its trajectory upwards as its value proposition resonated with consumers trading-down in the current environment. With a long runway for distribution gains, Stoker’s MST is poised to deliver continued growth with further market penetration and same store sales growth,” said Graham Purdy, Chief Operating Officer. “Separately, leading into the quarter, we had planned a selling initiative for the loose leaf chewing tobacco line that benefited from market conditions impacted by COVID. While some of the gains in loose leaf chewing tobacco during the quarter were COVID-related, the brand is now much better positioned for the future.”

For the quarter, Smokeless segment gross profit increased 18.5% to $16.7 million. Segment gross margin expanded 30 basis points to 54.1%.

Smoking Products Segment (26% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the second quarter, net sales of Smoking products increased 8.0% to $27.4 million. Growth was driven by double-digit advances in US rolling papers and growth in our Canadian papers business due to comparing against last year’s inventory depletions and the ramp-up of our partnership with ReCreation Marketing. This growth was partially offset by the previously announced COVID-related disruption in MYO cigar wraps. Non-focus cigars and MYO pipe declined $0.4 million. In the quarter, total Smoking segment volume increased 7.5% while price/mix increased 0.5%.

“Our US rolling papers business experienced strong growth aided by increased levels of consumption and market share gains from our growth initiatives. An increased focus on Zig-Zag’s potential in a broader set of channels, such as e-commerce and dispensaries, is demonstrating new growth opportunities, while recent product introductions are expanding distribution and gaining share,” said Purdy. “The impact of the disruption in our MYO Cigar Wraps business was approximately $4 million, better than expectations of $5 million. We assume some disruption may continue into the third quarter.”

For the quarter, Smoking products gross profit increased 14.1% to $15.7 million. Segment gross margin expanded 300 basis points to 57.2% as a result of increased US rolling paper sales and a continued decline in the low margin cigar business. The financial impact of the Durfort acquisition will begin in mid-July as pre-acquisition inventory is sold through.

NewGen (New Generation) Products Segment (45% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the second quarter, NewGen segment net sales increased 11.8% to a record $46.7 million as a result of market share gains in our vape distribution businesses in addition to positive contributions from Solace and other Nu-X products.

“While we experienced some temporary benefits during the second quarter in the NewGen segment, the improvements from consolidating our vape distribution business continued to flow through. VaporBeast, our B2B business, saw its customer count grow through the first half of the year while also benefitting from a competitor disruption during the second quarter. IVG, which sells mostly through its B2C e-commerce platforms, saw heightened sales levels during the quarter as consumers shifted to purchasing online, especially during stay-at-home provisions. In addition, Solace had its best quarter since its acquisition,” said Purdy. “With the PMTA deadline approaching this September, we expect volatility around our vape distribution business in the second half of the year as the market navigates the near-term uncertainty around the regulatory process. Longer-term, we expect to be favorably positioned as the market consolidates and our mix of proprietary products accelerates.”

For the quarter, NewGen gross profit increased 17.7% to $15.8 million. Segment gross margin increased 170 basis points to 33.7% primarily due to an increase in mix of proprietary products and faster growth from our higher-gross margin B2C business. Second quarter 2020 included $3.6 million of tariff expense compared to $2.0 million a year-ago.

Other Events and Performance Measures in the Second Quarter

Second quarter consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $30.8 million compared to $21.2 million in 2019. Absent the net proceeds received from the settlement associated with the V2 shut-down, SG&A was $26.8 million in 2019.

The second quarter had notable non-recurring impacts:

  • $3.3 million of FDA PMTA-related expenses as compared to $0.0 million in the year-ago period; and
  • $0.3 million of transaction expenses principally related to M&A activity as compared to $0.2 million in the year-ago period.

Total gross debt as of June 30, 2020, was $331.0 million. The corresponding net debt (total gross debt less cash) at June 30, 2020 was $266.8 million. The company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $110.6 million comprising $64.2 million of cash and $46.4 million of revolving credit facility capacity.

2020 Outlook Update

We are encouraged by our results thus far this year but are also balancing our optimism for the business with the uncertainty in the current environment and on-going government support for the consumer. With this framework, along with taking into account the temporary benefits during the second quarter and expected near-term volatility within our NewGen segment, we revise our guidance provided on April 28, 2020 as follows:

Absent any further acquisitions, the company projects 2020 net sales to be $370 to $382 million (up from previous guidance of $338 to $353 million). We project 2020 Adjusted EBITDA of $78 million to $83 million (up from previous guidance of $69 to $75 million). Our projections assume no upside from the PMTA process in 2020.

Stock compensation and non-cash incentive expense in 2020 is projected to be $2.8 million.

The company now expects to spend a total of $16 to $18 million (up from previous guidance of $15 to $18 million) on the PMTA process. This is inclusive of $2.2 million spent in 2019 and $9.5 million in the first half of 2020.

Cash interest expense is projected to be $12 million and GAAP interest expense includes $7 million of debt discount amortization equal to the fair value of the equity components over the expected life of the 2024 convertible notes.

The company expects the 2020 effective income tax rate to be 23% to 24% (up from previous guidance of 22% to 24%).

Capital expenditures for 2020 are anticipated to be approximately $4 to $6 million as we are currently evaluating accelerating certain capital expenditure projects due to temporary tax code incentives.

Net Sales for the third quarter 2020 are expected to be $90 to $95 million.

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;

  • 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;
  • substantial and increasing U.S. regulation;

  • possible increasing international control and regulation;
  • our reliance on relationships with several large retailers and national chains for distribution of our products;
  • our amount of indebtedness;
  • the terms of our credit facilities, which may restrict our current and future operations;
  • intense competition and our ability to compete effectively;
  • uncertainty and continued evolution of markets containing our NewGen products;
  • significant product liability litigation;
  • the scientific community’s lack of information regarding the long-term health effects of certain substances contained in some of our products;
  • requirement to maintain compliance with master settlement agreement escrow account;
  • competition from illicit sources;

  • fluctuations in our results;
  • exchange rate fluctuations;
  • adverse U.S. and global economic conditions;
  • sensitivity of end-customers to increased sales taxes and economic conditions;
  • failure to comply with certain regulations;
  • departure of key management personnel or our inability to attract and retain talent;
  • imposition of significant tariffs on imports into the U.S.;
  • reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors, potentially decreasing our stock price;
  • failure to maintain our status as an emerging growth company before the five-year maximum time period a company may retain such status;
  • our principal stockholders will be able to exert significant influence over matters submitted to our stockholders and may take certain actions to prevent takeovers;
  • 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. 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; and

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 diluted EPS, and Adjusted Operating Income. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Adjusted Operating Income are used by management to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and are presented to our board of directors. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income are appropriate measures of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance.

We define “EBITDA” as net income before interest expense, 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 diluted EPS” as diluted earnings per share excluding items that we do not consider ordinary course in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. We define “Adjusted Operating Income” as operating income excluding depreciation, amortization, LIFO, 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 EBITDA Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Income exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate this non-U.S. GAAP measure differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

In accordance with SEC rules, we have provided, in the supplemental information attached, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the next directly comparable GAAP measures.
