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 Company's 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. New Accounting Standards Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . This ASU amends FASB Topic 280 to permit the disclosure of multiple measures of a segment's profit or loss, and requires an entity with a single reportable segment to apply FASB Topic 280 in its entirety. In addition, this ASU requires the following new segment disclosures: • Significant segment expenses by reportable segment if regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within the reported measure of segment profit or loss; • Other segment items, which represents the difference between reported segment revenues less the significant segment expenses less reported segment profit or loss; and • Title and position of the CODM. Disclosures required under this new ASU and the existing segment profit or loss and assets disclosures currently required annually by FASB Topic 280 are to be disclosed in interim periods. The annual disclosure requirements are effective for the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, and the interim period disclosure requirements are effective beginning April 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new accounting standard will have on its segment disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , to provide more disaggregation of income tax information mainly related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and the income taxes paid disclosure requirements. Under the new accounting rules, the tabular effective tax rate reconciliation must include specific categories with certain reconciling items based on the expected tax further disaggregated by nature and/or jurisdiction. Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, must be broken out by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and further disaggregated by individual jurisdictions based on total income taxes paid. These new annual disclosure requirements are effective for the Company's fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new accounting standard will have on its income tax disclosures. 10 3. 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: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Leaf: Product revenue $ 500,529 $ 625,129 $ 1,537,268 $ 1,423,612 Processing and other revenues 28,543 27,128 91,364 75,212 Total sales and other operating revenues 529,072 652,257 1,628,632 1,498,824 All Other: Total sales and other operating revenues 744 3,296 2,529 8,912 Total sales and other operating revenues $ 529,816 $ 655,553 $ 1,631,161 $ 1,507,736 The following summarizes activity in the allowance for expected credit losses: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Balance, beginning of period $ ( 24,373 ) $ ( 23,698 ) $ ( 24,730 ) $ ( 24,541 ) Additions ( 631 ) ( 593 ) ( 1,189 ) ( 1,618 ) Write-offs and other adjustments 168 201 1,083 2,069 Balance, end of period ( 24,836 ) ( 24,090 ) ( 24,836 ) ( 24,090 ) Trade receivables 252,365 230,081 252,365 230,081 Trade receivables, net $ 227,529 $ 205,991 $ 227,529 $ 205,991 4. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges The Company continued its focus on cost-saving initiatives. The employee separation and asset impairment charges for the periods ended December 31, 2023 were primarily related to changes in the corporate organizational structure and the continued restructuring of certain leaf operations. The employee separation and asset impairment charges for the periods ended December 31, 2022 were primarily related to the restructuring of certain non-leaf agriculture operations. The following summarizes the Company's restructuring and asset impairment charges: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Employee separation charges $ 85 $ 35 $ 1,379 $ 345 Asset impairment and other non-cash charges — — — 4,035 Restructuring and asset impairment charges $ 85 $ 35 $ 1,379 $ 4,380 11 5. Income Taxes For each period presented, the Company's quarterly provision for income taxes is not 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 the end of the current period, 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 FASB ASC 740-270, Income Taxes - Interim Reporting . Using the discrete method, the Company determined income tax expense as if each of the nine-month interim periods reported were an annual period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 72.2 % and ( 119.9 )%, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the difference between the Company’s effective rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily due to increases in the Company's deferred tax valuation allowances, liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and variations in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. 6.
