Here are the key takeaways from Turning Point Brands’ conference call:

• Modern Oral accelerated sharply — gross sales +167% and net sales +133% YoY in Q1, and now represents 42% of total revenue (up from 21% a year ago) driven by D2C strength and early chain wins.
• Management raised full‑year Modern Oral guidance to $280–$300M gross and $210–$225M net and introduced FY EBITDA guidance of $70–$90M, signaling confidence in scale and profitability potential.
• The company is front‑loading growth investments — planning $80–$105M in 2026 sales & marketing, plus increased salesforce and merchandising spend — which drove Q1 negative free cash flow (‑$27.4M) and a wider EBITDA range that may pressure near‑term cash and margins.
• Regulatory and operational risk remains — the PMTA review timing is uncertain and the Louisville manufacturing ramp is being synchronized with PMTA outcomes, creating potential delays to domestic production, margin improvement, and inventory benefits.
