Turning Point Brands Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results

-FY 2021 Net Sales Increased 10.0 Percent Year-Over-Year

-FY 2021 Adjusted EBITDA Increased 19.8 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

Q4 2021 vs. Q4 2020

  • Net sales were comparable with Q4 2020 at $105.3 million despite a 22 percent decline in NewGen sales
  • Gross profit decreased 3.8 percent to $50.3 million
  • Net income decreased 20.3 percent to $11.5 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.6 percent to $23.8 million (see Schedule A for a reconciliation to net income)
  • Diluted EPS of $0.57 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.66 as compared to $0.68 and $0.77 in the same period one year ago, respectively (see Schedule B for a reconciliation to Diluted EPS)

FY 2021 vs FY 2020

  • Net sales increased 10.0 percent to $445.5 million
  • Gross profit increased 14.7 percent to $217.8 million
  • Net income increased 36.3 percent to $52.1 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 19.8 percent to $108.1 million (see Schedule A for a reconciliation to net income)
  • Diluted EPS of $2.52 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $3.03 as compared to $1.85 and $2.60 in the same period one year ago, respectively (see Schedule B for a reconciliation to Diluted EPS)

“Our fourth quarter results capped off another strong year of performance for Turning Point Brands with EBITDA growing 20 percent for the fiscal year. Sales for the fourth quarter finished above our previous guidance and in-line with the previous year despite a 22 percent decline in NewGen sales which fell within our previous guidance,” said Yavor Efremov, President and Chief Executive Officer, Turning Point Brands. “Zig-Zag delivered another quarter of double-digit growth against a tough comparable period, while Stoker’s re-accelerated to high-single digit growth driven by mid-teens growth in the Moist Snuff Tobacco (MST) business. Additionally, NewGen managed through a challenging quarter clouded by the evolving regulatory landscape while maintaining long-term upside potential in a post-PMTA environment.”

Mr. Efremov continued, “Turning to capital deployment, we increased our share repurchase activity during the quarter and continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Going forward, I am eager about the opportunity to work with a great organization, continue our momentum and invest further to deliver future organic and inorganic growth.”

Zig-Zag Products Segment (44 percent of total net sales in the quarter)

For the fourth quarter, net sales of Zig-Zag Products increased 13.6 percent to $46.1 million. Growth was led by double-digit advances in our U.S. rolling papers and Canadian businesses, including consolidation of Turning Point Brands Canada (formerly ReCreation Marketing) which contributed $4.5 million in the Q4 period. This was partially offset by a double-digit decline in our cigar wraps business as the prior year period benefitted from the re-stocking of channel inventory that was depleted by a COVID-related manufacturing shutdown earlier in 2020. The cigar wraps business was up sequentially from the third quarter of 2021. For the fourth quarter, total Zig-Zag Products segment volume increased 12.2 percent, while price / mix increased 1.4 percent.

For the quarter, Zig-Zag Products segment gross profit increased 4.7 percent to $26.4 million. The segment’s gross margin contracted 490 basis points to 57.3 percent, driven primarily by the consolidation of Turning Point Brands Canada in the current quarterly period.

For the full year, net sales of Zig-Zag Products increased 32.9 percent to $176.5 million with double-digit advances in our U.S. rolling papers, cigar wraps and Canadian businesses. The consolidation of Turning Point Brands Canada contributed $13.0 million during the full year period. For the full year, total Zig-Zag Products segment volume increased 29.7 percent, while price / mix increased 3.2 percent.

For the full year, Zig-Zag Products segment gross profit increased 31.2 percent to $102.7 million. The segment’s gross margin contracted 70 basis points to 58.2 percent, driven primarily by the consolidation of Turning Point Brands Canada in the current year period.

“Our Zig-Zag business experienced organic growth during the quarter despite a double-digit percentage growth headwind from the re-stocking of cigar wraps channel inventory in the prior year period,” said Graham Purdy, Chief Operating Officer, Turning Point Brands. “Paper cones and Zig-Zag’s e-commerce business continue to be strong drivers of growth in our U.S. papers business. The launch of Zig-Zag Studio in December bolstered our e-commerce business, further strengthening our brand awareness. Our Canadian business had solid growth driven by increased Zig-Zag sales into dispensaries. We see another strong year for Zig-Zag in 2022 as we continue to drive growth initiatives and ramp up new products, including Zig-Zag hemp and natural leaf tobacco wraps while re-introducing Zig-Zag cigars into the market.”

Stoker’s Products Segment (30 percent of total net sales in the quarter)

For the fourth quarter, net sales of Stoker’s Products increased 8.3 percent to $31.2 million on double-digit growth of MST. This was partially offset by a low single-digit decline of loose-leaf chewing tobacco. MST represented 63 percent of Stoker’s Products revenues in the quarter, up from 59 percent a year earlier. For the fourth quarter, total Stoker’s Products segment volume increased 2.1 percent, while price / mix increased 6.2 percent.

For the quarter, the Stoker’s Products segment gross profit increased 10.4 percent to $16.9 million. The segment’s gross margin expanded 100 basis points to 54.3 percent.

For the full year, net sales of Stoker’s Products increased 7.3 percent to $124.3 million on double-digit growth of MST. This was partially offset by a low single-digit decline of loose-leaf chewing tobacco. MST represented 63 percent of Stoker’s Products revenues for the full year, up from 59 percent a year earlier. For the full year, total Stoker’s Products segment volume increased 1.3 percent, while price / mix increased 6.0 percent.

For the full year, the Stoker’s Products segment gross profit increased 10.2 percent to $68.1 million. The segment’s gross margin expanded 150 basis points to 54.8 percent.

“Our Stoker’s Products segment delivered robust growth during the quarter,” continued Purdy. “MST continues to lead the way with double-digit growth from volume gains and increased pricing as we look to drive further distribution growth from here.”

NewGen Products Segment (26 percent of total net sales in the quarter)

For the fourth quarter, net sales of NewGen Products decreased 22.0 percent to $28.0 million. Sales were impacted by the regulatory environment in our vape businesses.

For the quarter, NewGen Products gross profit decreased 40.6 percent to $7.0 million. The segment gross margin contracted 780 basis points to 24.9 percent primarily due to inventory write-downs.

For the full year, net sales of NewGen Products decreased 7.5 percent to $144.7 million. Sales were impacted by the regulatory environment in our vape businesses.

For the full year, NewGen Products gross profit decreased 5.9 percent to $47.0 million. The segment gross margin expanded 60 basis points to 32.5 percent with the improvement partially driven by industry pricing pressure ahead of the PMTA submission deadline in the previous year comparable period.

“NewGen continues to navigate multiple challenges driven by the evolving regulatory environment,” said Purdy. “We began building a last mile network infrastructure that had completed over 38,000 shipments prior to the PACT Act implementation in October. Since then, we have improved our operational positioning having received an exemption with the USPS to ship our vape products to qualified B2B customers while continuing to ramp our B2C logistics capabilities. Meanwhile, our proprietary products remain under review by the FDA as our regulatory capabilities has allowed us to remain one of the few companies continuing to navigate the PMTA process.”

Recent Events

CLIPPER® Lighters Distribution Agreement

As detailed in a separate press release, TPB today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Flamagas, a renowned lighter manufacturer, for exclusive distribution of CLIPPER® lighters in the United States and Canada. CLIPPER is the number one reusable lighter in the world and the number two overall world lighter brand.

Performance Measures in the Fourth Quarter

Fourth quarter consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $31.6 million compared to $30.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The fourth quarter SG&A included the following notable items:

  • $1.5 million of stock options, restricted stock and incentive expense as compared to $0.6 million in the year-ago period
  • $0.2 million of transaction expenses as compared to $1.2 million in the year-ago period
  • $0.7 million of FDA PMTA-related expenses compared to none in the year-ago period
  • $4.3 million in outbound freight expense compared to $3.4 million in the year-ago period with the increase due to higher shipping costs on vapor products related to PACT Act implementation and higher freight costs across all segments
  • $1.7 million from the accounting consolidation of Turning Point Brands Canada in the current quarterly period

Total gross debt as of December 31, 2021 was $422.5 million. The corresponding net debt (total gross debt less cash) at December 31, 2021 was $294.2 million. The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $149.7 million, comprised of $128.3 million in cash and $21.4 million of revolving credit facility capacity.

During the quarter, the Company spent $18.2 million to repurchase 477,707 shares at an average price of $38.09 per share. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company spent $6.4 million to repurchase 172,624 shares at an average price of $37.20 per share. As previously disclosed, we received notification for forgiveness of a $7.5 million unsecured loan which resulted in the extinguishment of the unsecured loan during the quarter. The Company also recorded an impairment of $7.1 million during the quarter related to its investment in dosist.

2022 Outlook

At this time, TPB projects the following for 2022:

  • Zig-Zag Products sales of $193 to $203 million
  • Stoker’s Products sales of $127 to $134 million

Given the dynamic regulatory environment impacting the vape industry, it is difficult to provide reliable guidance for the NewGen Products segment. However, the Company’s current expectation is to generate consolidated adjusted EBITDA in-line with fiscal year 2021 despite anticipated volatility in the NewGen Products segment.

As previously disclosed, a conference call with the investment community to review TPB’s financial results has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, February 22, 2022.

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, 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.
