Graham Purdy, President and CEO, commented "We are excited by the growth of the modern oral category and the strong performance of our FRE and ALP brands. We are well positioned to achieve double-digit share of the category over time, while our legacy brands continue to generate durable cash flows that provide strong funding for investment in future growth."

Stoker's Products Segment (67% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the fourth quarter, Stoker's segment net sales increased 69.5% from the prior year to $81.0 million, driven by triple-digit growth in Modern Oral sales and single-digit growth in legacy Stoker's products.

For the quarter, Stoker's segment gross profit increased 66.2% from the prior year to $45.8 million. Gross margin decreased 115 basis points from the prior year to 56.6% driven primarily by mix.

For the full year, Stoker's segment net sales increased 69.1% to $284.6 million, driven by triple-digit growth in Modern Oral sales and high-single-digit growth in legacy Stoker's products.

For the full year, Stoker's segment gross profit increased 77.3% to $168.4 million. Gross margin increased 275 basis points to 59.2%

Zig-Zag Products Segment (33% of total net sales in the quarter)

Zig-Zag performance for the fourth quarter and the year was in-line with our expectations given the planned wind-down of the Clipper business and allocation of sales and marketing resources to white pouch.

For the fourth quarter, Zig-Zag segment net sales decreased 12.8% from the prior year to $40.0 million driven by declines in US sales partially offset by growth in Canadian sales.

For the quarter, Zig-Zag segment gross profit decreased 12.1% from the prior year to $21.8 million. Gross margin increased 40 basis points from the prior year to 54.6%.

For the full year, Zig-Zag segment net sales decreased 7.2% from the prior year to $178.5 million driven by low-double-digit declines in US sales, partially offset by low-double-digit growth in Canada sales.

For the full year, Zig-Zag segment gross profit decreased 10.0% from the prior year to $95.9 million. Gross margin declined 170 basis points from the prior year to 53.7%.

Performance Measures in the Fourth Quarter

Investment in the fourth quarter focused on sales and marketing efforts to support distribution and brand building. In the fourth quarter consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 38.2% from the prior year and 7.2% sequentially to $47.7 million, inclusive of Modern Oral-related sales and marketing investments and increased outbound freight costs.

Fourth quarter SG&A included the following notable items:

  • $1.1 million of FDA PMTA-related expenses to support the compliance roadmap for Modern Oral growth, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year period; and
  • $0.4 million of transaction-related costs compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period.

As of December 31, 2025, ending cash was $222.8 million and net debt was $77.2 million. The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $290.1 million, comprised of $222.8 million in cash and $68.1 million of asset backed revolving credit facility capacity.

2026 Outlook

Management currently expects full year 2026 Modern Oral Gross Revenue of $220-$240 million and Net Revenue of $180-$190 million. We currently expect Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $24-$27 million, inclusive of investment in Modern Oral sales, marketing, and trade promotions.

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, and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss). 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, and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) 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, and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) 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, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, income tax expense, depreciation, 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 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 Operating Income (Loss)" as operating income (loss) 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, and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) 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.

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 currently 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 pending two are complete.
