• Modern Oral continued to drive growth: gross sales rose 114% year over year and net sales increased 103%. The segment contributed 49% of company revenue, versus 31% a year earlier.
• Turning Point expects chain-store count to grow more than 70% in 2026 as FRE expands in larger retail chains and ALP builds brick-and-mortar distribution. Management said both brands are still in the early stages of their retail rollouts.
• Adjusted EBITDA fell 41% year over year to $18 million, reflecting higher sales and marketing investment; management also cited potential quarter-to-quarter swings from timing and other costs. The company maintained full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of $70 million to $80 million.
• Zig-Zag segment net sales declined 15% year over year to $37 million. Management described the business as stable but noted that some sales occur in channels where performance is harder to track.
• U.S. nicotine-pouch manufacturing remains targeted for 2027 and depends partly on FDA timing. The applications needed for the Louisville facility have been submitted, and the company is preparing a separate submission that would include U.S. manufacturing.
