1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of Pyxus International, Inc. (the "Company", "Pyxus", "we", or "us") and all companies that Pyxus directly or indirectly controls, either through majority ownership or otherwise. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the normal and recurring adjustments necessary for fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 filed on June 6, 2023. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for a fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be attained for other quarters or a full fiscal year.
2. Revenue Recognition
Product revenue is primarily from the sale of processed tobacco to customers. Processing and other revenues are mainly derived via contracts to process customer-owned green tobacco. During such processing, ownership remains with the customers. All Other revenue is primarily composed of revenue from the sale of e-liquids and non-tobacco agriculture products. The following disaggregates sales and other operating revenues by major source, with the All Other category being included for purposes of reconciliation of the respective balances below of the Leaf segment (the Company's sole reportable segment) to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

3. Income Taxes
The Company's quarterly provision for income taxes has generally been calculated using the annual effective tax rate method ("AETR method"), which applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income or loss. As of June 30, 2023, market specific factors coupled with tax rate sensitivity caused the AETR method to produce an unreliable estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate; therefore, the Company recorded its interim income tax provision using the discrete method, as allowed under ASC 740-270, Income Taxes - Interim Reporting . Using the discrete method, the Company determined current and deferred income tax expense as if the three-month interim period of the current fiscal year were an annual period.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 47.5 % and 4.5 %, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the difference between the Company’s effective rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange effects, valuation allowance impacts of non-deductible interest, U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, and variations in the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

14. Contingencies and Other Information
Brazilian Tax Credits
The government in the Brazilian State of Parana ("Parana") issued a tax assessment on October 26, 2007 with respect to local intrastate trade tax credits that result primarily from tobacco transferred between states within Brazil. At June 30, 2023, the assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $ 2,739 and the total assessment including penalties and interest is $ 10,793 . On March 18, 2014, the government in Brazilian State of Santa Catarina also issued a tax assessment with respect to local intrastate trade tax credits that result primarily from tobacco transferred between states within Brazil. At June 30, 2023, the assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $ 2,364 and the total assessment including penalties and interest is $ 6,883 . The Company believes it has properly complied with Brazilian law and will contest any assessment through the judicial process. Should the Company lose in the judicial process, the loss of the intrastate trade tax credits would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
The Company also has local intrastate trade tax credits in the Brazil State of Rio Grande do Sul. This jurisdiction permits the sale or transfer of excess credits to third parties, however approval must be obtained from the tax authorities. The Company has an agreement with the state government regarding the amounts and timing of credits that can be sold. The tax credits have a carrying value of $ 20,445 as of June 30, 2023. The intrastate trade tax credits are monitored for impairment in future periods based on market conditions and the Company’s ability to use or sell the tax credits.
Other Matters
In addition to the above-mentioned matters, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in other litigation or legal matters incidental to their business activities, including tax matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, they are being vigorously defended and the Company does not currently expect that any of them will have a

material adverse effect on its business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to its current expectation, the effect on the Company’s results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material.
