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, 2024 filed on June 6, 2024. 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. This new rule will result in additional disclosures for segment reporting, and does not have an impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 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. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which requires a tabular disclosure of relevant expense captions into prescribed natural expense categories. The annual disclosure requirements are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2028, and the interim period disclosure requirements are effective beginning April 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. This new rule will result in additional disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements, and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 9 3. Revenue Recognition Product revenue is primarily from the sale of processed tobacco to customers. Processing and other revenues are mainly 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 Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Leaf: Product revenue $ 515,813 $ 585,801 $ 1,105,030 $ 1,036,739 Processing and other revenues 48,358 37,326 90,104 62,821 Total sales and other operating revenues 564,171 623,127 1,195,134 1,099,560 All Other: Total sales and other operating revenues 2,212 1,126 6,104 1,785 Total sales and other operating revenues $ 566,383 $ 624,253 $ 1,201,238 $ 1,101,345 The following summarizes activity in the allowance for expected credit losses: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Balance, beginning of period $ ( 24,035 ) $ ( 24,440 ) $ ( 23,940 ) $ ( 24,730 ) Additions ( 227 ) ( 238 ) ( 628 ) ( 558 ) Write-offs and other adjustments 12 305 318 915 Balance, end of period ( 24,250 ) ( 24,373 ) ( 24,250 ) ( 24,373 ) Trade receivables 250,626 258,052 250,626 258,052 Trade receivables, net $ 226,376 $ 233,679 $ 226,376 $ 233,679 4. 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 six-month interim periods reported were an annual period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 111.6 % and 53.9 %, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the difference between the Company’s effective rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily due to U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, partially offset by foreign tax credits and increases in the Company's deferred tax valuation allowances. The long-term liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 was $ 12,510 compared to $ 20,170 as of September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by tax settlements in Africa. 10 5. (Loss) Earnings Per Share The calculations of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share are based on net (loss) income divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding, respectively. Under the treasury stock method, restricted stock units will have a dilutive effect when the respective period's average market price of the Company's common stock exceeds the assumed exercise proceeds and the average amount of cost not yet recognized. Performance based stock units are included in diluted (loss) earnings per share if the performance targets have been met at the end of the reporting period. Share-based payment awards that provide contingently issuable shares upon a performance or market condition are included in basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share only if the condition is met as of the end of the reporting period. The following summarizes the computation of (loss) earnings per share: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net (loss) income attributable to Pyxus International, Inc. $ ( 3,227 ) $ 8,095 $ 1,415 $ 8,899 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 25,825 25,000 25,683 25,000 Plus: Dilutive equity awards (1) — — — — Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 25,825 25,000 25,683 25,000 (Loss) earnings per share: Basic $ ( 0.12 ) $ 0.32 $ 0.06 $ 0.36 Diluted $ ( 0.12 ) $ 0.32 $ 0.06 $ 0.36 (1) For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the weighted average number of outstanding restricted stock units not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive is 96 and 82 , respectively. 6. Restricted Cash The following summarizes the composition of restricted cash: September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 March 31, 2024 Compensating balance for short-term borrowings $ 542 $ 516 $ 516 Escrow 2,955 2,389 2,647 Grants 1,857 1,342 1,375 Other 2,092 1,325 2,686 Total $ 7,446 $ 5,572 $ 7,224 7.

Foreign Seasonal Lines of Credit Excluding long-term credit agreements, the Company typically finances its non-U.S. operations with uncommitted short-term seasonal lines of credit arrangements with a number of banks. These operating lines are generally seasonal in nature, typically extending for a term of 180 days to 365 days corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. These facilities are typically uncommitted in that the lenders have the unilateral right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans at any time or at specified dates. These loans are generally renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. Certain of the foreign seasonal lines of credit are secured by trade receivables and inventories as collateral and are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024, the total borrowing capacity under individual foreign seasonal lines of credit range up to $ 170,000 . As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount available for borrowing under the seasonal lines of credit was $ 175,431 .

Securitized Receivables The Company sells trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under various accounts receivable securitization facilities, two of which are subject to annual renewal. Under the first facility, with Finacity Corporation (the "Finacity Facility"), the Company continuously sells a designated pool of trade receivables to a special purpose entity, which sells 100 % of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the special purpose entity, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. This facility requires a minimum level of deferred purchase price be retained by the Company in connection with the sales of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company continues to service, administer, and collect the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entity and receives a servicing fee of 0.5 % of serviced receivables per annum. As the Company estimates the expected fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets or liabilities are recognized. Servicing fees are recorded as a reduction of selling, general, and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, the investment limit of this facility was $ 120,000 of trade receivables. Under the second facility, the Company offers trade receivables for sale to an unaffiliated financial institution, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institution. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. Although the Company continues to service, administer, and collect the receivables on behalf of the unaffiliated financial institution, the Company does not receive a servicing fee, and as a result, has established a servicing liability based upon unobservable inputs, primarily discounted cash flow. As of September 30, 2024, the investment limit under the second facility was $ 130,000 of trade receivables. As servicer for the Finacity Facility and the second facility, the Company may receive funds that are due to the unaffiliated financial institutions which are net settled on the next settlement date. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and March 31, 2024, trade receivables, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets has been reduced by $ 11,093 , $ 10,014 , and $ 15,036 as a result of the net settlement, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets includes $ 1,735 and $ 10,279 of net payables for the Finacity Facility. Refer to " Note 15. Fair Value Measurements " for additional information. Under the other facilities, the Company offers trade receivables for sale to unaffiliated financial institutions, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institutions. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. As of September 30, 2024, the investment limits under these other facilities were variable based on qualifying sales. The following summarizes the Company's accounts receivable outstanding in the securitization facilities, which represents trade receivables sold into the program that have not been collected from the customer, and related beneficial interests, which represents the Company's residual interest in receivables sold that have not been collected from the customer: September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 March 31, 2024 Receivables outstanding in facility $ 126,298 $ 177,932 $ 170,267 Beneficial interests 11,093 24,393 15,036 17 Cash proceeds from the sale of trade receivables is comprised of a combination of cash and a deferred purchase price receivable.

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 September 30, 2024, the assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $ 2,423 and the total assessment including penalties and interest is $ 10,095 . The Company believes it has properly complied with Brazilian law and will contest any assessment through the 19 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. Other Matters In addition to the above-mentioned matters, the Company or certain of its 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. 17. Equity-Based Compensation Pursuant to the Pyxus International, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), the Company granted time-vesting restricted stock units, with the vesting of these restricted stock units being subject to continued employment through specified dates and the condition that the Company’s common stock be listed for trading on a national securities exchange or an approved foreign securities exchange by March 31, 2028 (the "Listing Condition"). On May 10, 2024 (the "Modification Date"), the time-vesting restricted stock units granted under the Incentive Plan that were outstanding immediately prior to that date were amended to extend the period by which the Listing Condition must be satisfied for the vesting of such restricted stock units from March 31, 2028 to March 31, 2031 and to provide that the Listing Condition shall be deemed to be satisfied on March 31, 2031 regardless of whether the Company’s common stock has been listed by that date on a national securities exchange or foreign securities exchange and would vest earlier upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Incentive Plan) as a result of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. On the Modification Date, the amended Listing Condition was rendered nonsubstantive, and recipients of all such outstanding time-vesting restricted stock units had satisfied the continued service requirement, meaning the then-outstanding restricted stock units were fully earned for vesting. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized total equity-based compensation expense of $ 601 and $ 3,632 , respectively, which is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The modified time-vesting restricted stock units accounted for $ 3,263 of the total equity-based compensation recognized year-to-date to reflect the cumulative catch-up required on the Modification Date. The following summarizes the Company's equity awards granted: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands, except grant date fair value) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Restricted stock units Number granted 39 — 807 — Weighted average grant date fair value $ 3.00 $ — $ 3.48 $ — Performance-based stock units Number granted (at target performance level) 29 — 605 — Weighted average grant date fair value $ 4.36 $ — $ 4.36 $ — Restricted stock units granted under the Incentive Plan during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are earned ratably over a three-year period, and will vest, subject to continued employment, upon the earlier of March 31, 2031 or the occurrence of a liquidity event as defined under the terms of the restricted stock unit award agreement. Unrecognized compensation costs for restricted stock units is $ 2,435 as of September 30, 2024, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.53 years, representing the remaining service period related to the awards, subject to adjustments for actual forfeitures. Under the terms of the performance-based stock units, the amount of shares to be issued (ranging from 0 % to 200 % of the number of shares to be issued at the target performance level) will be contingent upon the per share price achieved in a liquidity event (as defined under the terms of the performance-based stock unit award agreement), subject to continued employment through the date of a liquidity event.
