Forward-Looking Statements

Readers are cautioned that the statements contained in this report regarding expectations of our performance or other matters that may affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are based on current expectations of future events, may be identified by the use of words such as “strategy,” “expects,” “continues,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “will,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “targets,” and other words of similar meaning. These statements also may be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or if known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. Some of these risks and uncertainties include changes in the timing of anticipated shipments, changes in anticipated geographic product sourcing, changes in relevant capital markets affecting the terms and availability of financing, political instability, currency and interest rate fluctuations, shifts in the global supply and demand position for tobacco products, changes in tax laws and regulations or the interpretation of tax laws and regulations, resolution of tax matters, adverse weather conditions, the impact of disasters or other unusual events affecting international commerce, including impacts from the strain of coronavirus reported to have recently surfaced in Wuhan, China, changes in costs incurred in supplying products and related services, uncertainties with respect to the impact of regulation associated with new business lines, including the risk of obtaining anticipated regulatory approvals in Canada and for nicotine e-liquids products in the United States, uncertainties regarding the regulation of the production and distribution of hemp products and continued compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, uncertainties with respect to the development of the industries and markets of the new business lines, consumer acceptance of products offered by the new business lines, uncertainties with respect to the timing and extent of retail and product-line expansion, the impact of increasing competition in the new business lines, uncertainties regarding obtaining financing to fund planned facilities expansions, the possibility of delays in the completion of facilities expansions and uncertainties regarding the potential production yields of new or expanded facilities, as well as the progress of legalization of cannabis for medicinal and adult recreational uses in other jurisdictions. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties, and other factors can be found in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, in Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, and in Part II, Item 1A of this report, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of Pyxus International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pyxus") 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. 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.

Leases

The Company measures right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities based on the present value of remaining lease payments, including in-substance fixed payments, the current payment amount when payments depend on an index or rate (e.g., inflation adjustments, market renewals), and the amount the Company believes is probable to be paid to the lessor under residual value guarantees, when applicable. Lease contracts may include fixed payments for non-lease components, such as maintenance, which are included in the measurement of lease liabilities for certain asset classes based on the Company’s election to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company does not recognize short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheet.

As applicable borrowing rates are not typically implied within the lease arrangements, the Company discounts lease payments based on its estimated incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, or modification, which is based on the Company’s estimated credit rating, the lease term at commencement, and the contract currency of the lease arrangement.

Segments

During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes to how the business is managed and results are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. In connection with the "One Tomorrow Transformation" initiative, the Company changed its organizational structure to support its diversified business lines. Prior to the realignment, the Company assessed financial information based on geographic regions. The Company's diversification efforts have resulted in management placing emphasis on data by business line in addition to the historical focus by geography. As a result of this realignment, the reportable segments now include Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of notes receivable, related parties in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, restructuring and asset impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and the components within inventory, see "Note 17 . Inventories" for more information.

2. New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under this guidance, a lessee recognizes assets and liabilities on its balance sheet for most leases, and retains a dual model approach for assessing lease classification and recognizing expense. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The FASB subsequently issued updates to provide clarification on specific topics, including adoption guidance, practical expedients, and interim transition disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter beginning April 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach, which does not require adjustments to comparative periods or require modified disclosures for those comparative periods. The guidance provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients. The Company implemented changes to its accounting policies, systems, and controls to align with the new guidance. There is a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet from

applying this guidance, which resulted in the recognition of new right-of-use assets of $43,900 and lease liabilities of $42,064 as of April 1, 2019 associated with the Company’s operating leases. The impact on the results of operations, cash flows, and existing debt covenants is not material. The adoption of this guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. See "Note 14. Leases" for more information.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the test for goodwill impairment as it eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test by no longer requiring an entity to compare the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under this new standard, goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill. The Company will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is needed. This guidance has been early adopted by the Company as of December 31, 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Based on the Company's scoping assessment, ASU 2016-13 will primarily impact trade receivables. The adoption of this new accounting standard will be done using a modified retrospective approach, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. This new accounting standard will be effective for the Company on April 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU 2018-14 updates disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on March 31, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Income Taxes

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $16,331, of which $13,122 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2019, accrued interest and penalties totaled $1,235 and $756, respectively. The Company expects to continue accruing interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits described above. The Company may be subject to fluctuations in the unrecognized tax benefit due to currency exchange rate movements.

-12-

During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company reached an income tax settlement with the Kenyan Revenue Authority for $1,558 for a previously recorded uncertain tax position. In addition, a previous accrual to settle asserted issues for years 2009 to 2016 in Zimbabwe of $964 was reduced by $952 to account for the exchange rate impact of the local currency equivalent. An existing accrual for transfer pricing issues in Malawi was increased by an additional $2,772 to account for the Company's evolving negotiations with tax authorities. Also, the Company increased an existing accrual related to U.S. transition tax of $931, resulting from changes in accrued tax pools. The U.S. federal net operating loss was reduced to reflect the impacts of certain tax accounting methods on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI").

The Company does not expect significant changes in the amount of its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months but acknowledges circumstances can change due to unexpected developments in the law. In certain jurisdictions, tax authorities have challenged positions taken by the Company that resulted in recognizing benefits that are material to its financial statements. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will prevail in these situations and accordingly has not recorded liabilities for these positions. The Company expects the challenged positions to be settled at a time greater than twelve months from its balance sheet date.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return as well as returns in several U.S. states and a number of foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s earliest open tax year for U.S. federal income tax purposes is its fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The Company's tax attributes from prior periods remain subject to adjustment. Open tax years in state and foreign jurisdictions generally range from three to six years.

Provision for the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2019

The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 3.9% and 226.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was (30.5)% and (65.3)%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the effective rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due to the impact of non-deductible interest, net foreign exchange effects and Subpart F income. The primary differences in the effective tax rates year-over-year are the impact of net foreign exchange effects, increases in non-deductible interest, as well as Subpart F income, and variation in expected jurisdictional mix of earnings.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company's quarterly provision for income taxes has 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. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded the net tax effects of certain discrete events, which resulted in an income tax expense of $2,252. This discrete income tax expense primarily related to the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions and changes in foreign exchange impacts. Comparable tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was calculated using the discrete method as allowed under ASC 740-270, Accounting for Income Taxes - Interim Reporting. Using the discrete method, the Company determined current and deferred income tax expense as if the interim period were an annual period, and no discrete events were separately identified.

6. Guarantees

In certain markets, the Company guarantees bank loans to suppliers to finance their crops. Under longer-term arrangements, the Company may also guarantee financing on suppliers’ construction of curing barns or other tobacco production assets. Guaranteed loans are generally repaid concurrent with the delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company is obligated to repay guaranteed loans should the supplier default. If default occurs, the Company has recourse against its various suppliers and their production assets. The Company also guarantees bank loans of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in Asia and South America. The following summarizes amounts guaranteed and the fair value of those guarantees:


	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		March 31, 2019
Amounts guaranteed (not to exceed)	$	119,342	$	176,762	$	143,298
Amounts outstanding under guarantee⁽¹⁾	37,624		79,336		103,846
Fair value of guarantees	1,112		2,890		3,714
Amounts due to local banks on behalf of suppliers and included in accounts payable	—		—		18,659

8. Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds variable interests in multiple entities that primarily procure or process inventory or are securitization entities. These variable interests relate to equity investments, advances, guarantees, and securitized receivables. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the majority of its variable interests, as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities due to the entities’ management and board of directors' structure. As a result, the majority of these variable interest entities are not consolidated. The Company holds a majority voting interest and is the primary beneficiary of its variable interest in Humble Juice, a consolidated entity for which the related intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The following summarizes the Company's financial relationships with its unconsolidated variable interest entities:


	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		March 31, 2019
Investment in variable interest entities	$	63,320	$	62,156	$	64,281
Advances to variable interest entities	11,301		2,817		3,273
Guaranteed amounts to variable interest entities (not to exceed)	61,566		73,278		67,027

The Company's investment in and advances to unconsolidated variable interest entities are classified as investments in unconsolidated affiliates and accounts receivable, related parties, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in these variable interest entities is represented by the investments, advances, guarantees, and the deferred purchase price on the sale of securitized receivables as disclosed in "Note 19. Securitized Receivables".

9. Segment Information

The Company's operations are managed and reported in ten operating segments that are organized by product category and geographic area and aggregated into three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services. These segment groupings are consistent with information used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:

•Leaf - North America ships tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products around the world. Leaf - North America is more highly concentrated on processing and other activities compared to the rest of the world.

•Leaf - Other Regions ships tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products around the world. Leaf - Other Regions sells a small amount of processed but un-threshed flue-cured and burley tobacco in loose-leaf and bundle form to certain customers.

•Other Products and Services primarily involves the sale of cannabis and e-liquid products. Cannabis was legalized for adult use in Canada on October 17, 2018. The cannabis products produced by certain of the Company's subsidiaries have been sold in the Canadian market, primarily to municipally-owned retailers. E-liquids products are sold to consumers via e-commerce platforms and other distribution channels, and retail stores.

The following summarizes operating results and assets by segment:

12. 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. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $3,268 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at December 31, 2019 is $11,598. 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. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $2,827 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at December 31, 2019 is $7,551. 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 and the State of Santa Catarina. These jurisdictions permit the sale or transfer of excess credits to third parties, however approval must be obtained from the tax authorities. The Company has agreements with the state governments regarding the amounts and timing of credits that can be sold. The tax credits have a carrying value of $11,313. 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.

In 1969, the Brazilian government created a tax credit program that allowed companies to earn IPI tax credits (“IPI credits”) based on the value of their exports. The government began to phase out this program in 1979, which resulted in numerous lawsuits between taxpayers and the Brazilian government. The Company has a long legal history with respect to credits it earned while the IPI credit program was in effect. In 2001, the Company won a claim related to certain IPI credits it earned between 1983 and 1990. The Brazilian government appealed this decision and numerous rulings and appeals were rendered on behalf of both the government and the Company from 2001 through 2013. Because of this favorable ruling, the Company began to use these earned IPI credits to offset federal taxes in 2004 and 2005, until it received a Judicial Order to suspend the IPI offsetting in 2005. The value of the federal taxes offset in 2004 and 2005 was $24,142 and the Company established a reserve on these credits at the time of offsetting as they were not yet realizable due to the legal uncertainty that existed. Specifically, the Company extinguished other federal tax liabilities using IPI credits and recorded a liability in Pension, Postretirement and Other Long-Term Liabilities to reflect that the credits were not realizable at that time due to the prevalent legal uncertainty. On March 7, 2013, the Brazilian Supreme Court rendered a final decision in favor of the Company that recognized the validity of the IPI credits and secured the Company's right to benefit from the IPI credits earned from March 1983 to October 1990. This final decision expressly stated the Company has the right to the IPI credits. The Company estimates the total amount of the IPI credits to be approximately $94,316 at March 31, 2013. Since the March 2013 ruling definitively (without the government's ability to appeal) granted the Company the ownership of the IPI credits generated between 1983 and 1990, the Company believes the amount of IPI credits that were used to offset other federal taxes in 2004 and 2005 are realizable beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, at March 31, 2013, the Company recorded the $24,142 IPI credits it realized in the Statements of Consolidated Operations in Other Income. No further benefit has been recognized pending the outcome of the judicial procedure to ascertain the final amount as those amounts have not yet been realized.

Other Matters

On October 8, 2019, the City of New York filed a complaint in U.S. District Court against 24 e-liquids companies, including the Company’s Humble Juice subsidiary, seeking an injunction to prevent sales of e-cigarette products to residents of New York City without adequate age-verification systems and to prohibit marketing e-cigarettes to New York City residents under the age of 21, as well as statutory damages and compensation to the city for the costs of abating underage e-cigarette use. On December 16, 2019, Humble Juice filed its answer to the compliant, denying that it lacked adequate age-verification systems and the allegations underlying the City's claim for relief, as well as asserting several affirmative defenses. Humble Juice intends to vigorously defend this matter.

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, the Company is vigorously defending them and 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.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records all known asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) for which the liability can be reasonably estimated. Currently, it has identified an ARO associated with one of its facilities that requires it to restore the land to its initial condition upon vacating the facility. The Company has not recognized a liability under generally accepted accounting principles for this ARO because the fair value of restoring the land at this site cannot be reasonably estimated since the settlement date is unknown at this time. The settlement date is unknown because the land restoration is not required until title is returned to the government, and the Company has no current or future plans to return the title. The Company will recognize a liability in the period in which sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate its fair value.

19. Securitized Receivables

The Company sells trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under three accounts receivable securitization facilities. Under the first 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. As of December 31, 2019, the investment limit under the first facility was $125,000 of trade receivables. Under the second and third facilities, the Company offers receivables for sale to unaffiliated financial institutions, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institutions. As of December 31, 2019, the investment limit under the second facility was $125,000 of trade receivables. As of December 31, 2019, the investment limit under the third facility was variable based on qualifying sales.

As the servicer of these facilities, the Company may receive funds that are due to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which are net settled on the next settlement date. As a result of the net settlement, trade and other receivables, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets has been reduced by $7,504 and $5,208 as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively, and increased by $78 as of December 31, 2018.

Level 2 measurements

•Debt: The fair value of debt is based on the market price for similar financial instruments or model-derived valuations with observable inputs. The primary inputs to the valuation include market expectations, the Company's credit risk, and the contractual terms of the debt instrument.

•Derivatives: The fair value of derivatives is determined using the discounted cash flow analysis of the expected future cash flows. The primary inputs to the valuation include forward yield curves, implied volatilities, LIBOR rates, and credit valuation adjustments.

-24-

Level 3 measurements

•Guarantees: The fair value of guarantees is determined using the discounted cash flow analysis of the expected future cash flows or historical loss rates. The primary inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include market interest rates ranging between 15.0% to 75.8% and the Company’s historical loss rates ranging between 2.2% to 10.0% as of December 31, 2019. The historical loss rate was weighted by the principal balance of the loans.

•Securitized beneficial interests: The fair value of securitized beneficial interests is determined using the present value of future expected cash flows. The primary inputs to this valuation include payment speeds of 77 to 80 days and discount rates of 1.7% to 4.3% as of December 31, 2019. The discount rate was weighted by the outstanding interest. Payment speed was weighted by the average days outstanding.

The following summarizes the reconciliation of changes in Level 3 instruments measured on a recurring basis:

23. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

The Company announced a cost-saving initiative and restructuring plan to re-purpose its Argentinian subsidiary for storage and special projects during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, with tobacco processing to be provided by a third party going forward.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Overview

At Pyxus, we believe everything we do is to transform people’s lives so that together we can grow a better world. Pyxus provides responsibly produced, independently verified, and traceable agricultural products, ingredients and services to businesses and customers. Headquartered in the Research Triangle Park region of North Carolina, we contract with growers across five continents to help them produce sustainable, compliant crops.

Historically, Pyxus’ core business has been as a tobacco leaf merchant, purchasing, processing, packing, storing, and shipping tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products throughout the world. Through our predecessor companies, we have a long operating history in the leaf tobacco industry with some customer relationships beginning in the early 1900s. In an increasing number of markets, we also provide agronomy expertise for growing leaf tobacco. Our contracted tobacco grower base often produces a significant volume of non-tobacco crop utilizing the agronomic assistance that our team provides. Pyxus is working to find markets for these crops as part of our ongoing efforts to improve farmer livelihoods and the communities in which they live.

We are committed to responsible crop production which supports economic viability for the grower, provides a safe working atmosphere for those involved in crop production and minimizes negative environmental impact. Our agronomists maintain frequent contact with growers prior to and during the growing and curing seasons to provide technical assistance to improve the quality and yield of the crop. Throughout the entire production process, from seed-to-sale, our SENTRI^SM traceability system provides clear visibility into how products are produced throughout the supply chain, supporting product integrity.

We are continuing our transformation journey designed to diversify the Company's products and services by leveraging our core strengths in agronomy and traceability. In general, our diversification focuses on products that are value-added and require some degree of processing which plays well to our strengths, as well as offering higher margin potential than our core tobacco leaf business. To support these business lines, we have broad geographic processing capabilities, a diversified product offering, an established customer base for our core leaf tobacco business, and a growing customer base.

Our strategy to transform into a global agricultural company with a significant presence across multiple consumer products categories has enabled us to achieve significant progress in positioning Pyxus to enhance value for our stakeholders. We are committed to driving improved results and we remain focused on strengthening our leaf business while continuing to invest in our new startup business ventures to position them for growth. Additionally, we continue to evaluate and develop plans for a potential partial monetization of interests in subsidiaries in the Other Products and Services segment, for which plans to date have not progressed as initially anticipated but are continuing to develop, and to address the Company's maturing long-term debt.

We believe our success depends on our ability to drive enhanced value, not only for our shareholders, but for all of our stakeholders. Driven by our united purpose—to transform people's lives, so that together we can grow a better world—we are committed to the execution of our strategy for the benefit of our contracted farmers, employees, customers, affiliates, and shareholders.

Our consolidated operations are managed and reported in ten operating segments that are organized by product category and geographic area and aggregated into three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services. See "Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" for more information.

Sales and other operating revenues decreased $161.2 million or 30.7% to $363.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $524.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was due to a 27.5% decrease in volume and a 6.9% decrease in average sales prices. The decrease in volume was attributable to flue-cured oversupply conditions, the timing of shipments in the Leaf - Other Regions segment in Africa and Asia, and the impact of Hurricane Florence reducing the prior year U.S. crop size (which impacted carryover shipments) and foreign tariffs on U.S. tobacco reducing Leaf - North America segment volumes. The decrease in average sales price was driven by the Leaf - Other Regions segment product mix having a lower concentration of lamina in South America.

Cost of goods and services sold decreased $141.7 million or 31.5% to $308.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $449.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the Leaf - North America and Leaf - Other Regions segment sales and other operating revenues and favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the Leaf - Other Regions segment resulting in lower leaf raw materials prices in Africa and South America.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 15.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from 14.2% for three months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was attributable to favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the Leaf - Other Regions segment resulting in lower leaf raw materials prices in Africa and South America. This increase was partially offset by higher Leaf - North America and Leaf - Other Region conversion costs due to lower volumes.

Selling, general, and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $4.2 million or 10.1% to $45.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $41.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. SG&A as a percent of sales increased to 12.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from 8.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2018. These increases were primarily related to branding, marketing, and advertising expenses to support growth of the Figr cannabinoid brand and costs incurred to evaluate and develop plans for a potential partial monetization of interests in subsidiaries in the Other Products and Services segment. These increases were partially offset by current year savings due to restructuring initiatives enacted in the Leaf - North America segment in the prior year.

Income tax expense decreased $18.3 million or 105.2% to a $0.9 million benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from a $17.4 million expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a change in the effective tax rate to 3.9% for three months ended December 31, 2019 from 226.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and the occurrence of certain discrete items during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Sales and other operating revenues decreased $24.9 million or 32.0% to $53.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $77.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to 34.2% lower volume and a 1.3% decrease in average sales prices. The decrease in volume was attributable to Hurricane Florence reducing the prior year U.S. crop size (which impacted carryover shipments) and foreign tariffs on U.S. tobacco. The decrease in average sales price was driven by product mix having a lower concentration of lamina.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 11.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from 11.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was attributable to current year savings due to restructuring initiatives enacted in the prior year.

This decrease was due to a 26.8% decrease in volume and a 7.4% decrease in average sales prices. The decrease in volume was attributable to flue-cured oversupply conditions and the timing of shipments in Africa and Asia. The decrease in average sales price was driven by product mix having a lower concentration of lamina in South America.

Sales and other operating revenues decreased $1.2 million or 24.5% to $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cannabinoid revenue attributable to the timing of orders and a decrease in e-liquids revenue related to a general industry slow-down amid health and regulatory concerns. These decreases were partially offset by increased cannabinoid revenue driven by Figr products entering into two additional Canadian provinces: New Brunswick and Ontario in December 2019.

Cost of goods and services sold increased $1.2 million or 38.7% to $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was mainly due to increased cannabinoid depreciation associated with the additional 210,000 square feet of production capacity placed in-service at the Prince Edward Island facility.

Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to (16.2)% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from 36.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was attributable to higher conversion costs from lower sales volume and increase cannabinoid depreciation associated with the additional 210,000 square feet of production capacity placed in-service at the Prince Edward Island facility.

SG&A increased $8.2 million or 85.4% to $17.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $9.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Sales and other operating revenues decreased $187.5 million or 15.5% to $1,022.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $1,210.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was due to a 12.5% decrease in volume and a 5.0% decrease in averages sales price. The decrease in volume was attributable to flue-cured oversupply conditions, the timing of shipments in the Leaf - Other Regions segment in Africa, and the impact of Hurricane Florence reducing the prior year U.S. crop size (which impacted carryover shipments) and foreign tariffs on U.S. tobacco reducing Leaf - North America segment volumes. The decrease in average sales price was primarily due to product mix having a lower concentration of lamina. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the Leaf - Other Regions segment volumes in South America due to the timing of shipments and the continued sales growth in the Other Products and Services segment.

Cost of goods and services sold decreased $177.1 million or 16.9% to $867.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $1,045.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

Sales and other operating revenues decreased $150.5 million or 14.8% to $867.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $1,018.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was due to a 10.6% decrease in volume and a 5.6% decrease in average selling prices. The decrease in volume was attributable to flue-cured oversupply conditions and the timing of shipments in Africa. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in volume in South America due to the timing of shipments. The decrease in average selling prices was driven by product mix having a lower concentration of lamina.

Cost of goods and services sold decreased $144.0 million or 16.4% to $734.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $878.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales and other operating revenues and favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting in lower raw materials prices in Africa and South America.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 15.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from 13.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was attributable to favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulting in lower raw materials prices and conversion costs in Africa and South America.

SG&A decreased $2.3 million or 2.8% to $79.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $81.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was due to lower allocations of general corporate services. SG&A as a percent of sales increased to 9.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from 8.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was related to the decrease in sales and other operating revenues.

Other income, net decreased $7.6 million or 55.1% to $6.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $13.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to the receipt of insurance proceeds in the prior year from the fiscal 2016 fire in Zimbabwe.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges decreased $0.7 million or 41.2% to $1.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $1.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 mainly due to a cost-saving and restructuring initiative to close a processing facility in Europe in the prior year.

Sales and other operating revenues increased $5.4 million or 52.4% to $15.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $10.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to increased cannabinoid revenue attributable to sales in the provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island following the legalization of the Canadian recreational cannabis market on October 17, 2018, as well as increased e-liquids product revenue attributable to additional product offerings and an expanding customer base. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in cannabinoid revenue attributable to the timing of orders and a decrease in e-liquids revenue related to a general industry slow-down amid health and regulatory concerns.

Cost of goods and services sold increased $3.9 million or 49.4% to $11.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $7.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was mainly due to the increase in sales.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 24.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from 23.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was due to lower conversion costs attributable to higher sales volume and was partially offset by higher overhead absorption related to the additional 210,000 square feet of cannabinoid production capacity placed in-service in Prince Edward Island.

SG&A increased $28.3 million or 118.4% to $52.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from $23.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. SG&A as a percent of sales increased to 332.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 from 232.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. These increases were primarily related to branding, marketing, and advertising expenses to support growth of the Figr cannabinoid and Humble Juice e-liquid brands and the costs incurred to evaluate and develop plans for a potential partial monetization of interests in subsidiaries in the Other Products and Services segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our liquidity requirements are affected by various factors from our core tobacco leaf business, including crop seasonality, foreign currency and interest rates, green tobacco prices, customer mix, crop size, and quality. Our leaf tobacco business is seasonal, and purchasing, processing, and selling activities have several associated peaks where cash on-hand and outstanding indebtedness may vary significantly compared to fiscal year-end. Additionally, as we continue our transformation journey our liquidity requirements are increasingly affected by branding, marketing, and advertising expenses to support growth of the Other Products and Services segment, and legal and professional costs incurred to evaluate and develop plans for a potential partial monetization of interests in subsidiaries in the Other Products and Services segment and to address the Company's maturing long-term debt.

We may periodically seek to repurchase our indebtedness through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, exchanges, or otherwise, to the extent not prohibited by our financing agreements. Such transactions will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions,and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

As of December 31, 2019, we are in the process of repaying our South American related crop lines as we continue to ship inventory and collect receivables. In Africa, we continue to ship product which should continue into the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 as well as the purchase of the new crop which should begin mid-March. In Asia, the Indian Mysore and Indonesian crops are approaching the end of the processing and shipping is in full force. Europe continues shipping of the current crop and is preparing to purchase the new crop during the fourth fiscal quarter. North America has completed flue cured processing with shipping winding down and has commenced the purchasing, processing and shipping of the burley crop which should continue into the fourth fiscal quarter, seasonally elevating its working capital requirements. Fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus many of the currencies in which we have costs may continue to have an impact on our working capital requirements, as such, we will monitor and hedge foreign currency costs prudently, and as needed on a currency by currency basis.

Working Capital

Working capital decreased to $449.1 million at December 31, 2019 from $629.6 million at December 31, 2018 primarily due to decreased leaf tobacco sales.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, cash collections from our securitized receivables, and short-term borrowings under our foreign seasonal lines of credit. We have typically financed our non-U.S. tobacco operations with uncommitted short-term seasonal lines of credit at the local level. These foreign lines of credit are seasonal in nature, normally extending for a term of 180 to 270 days, corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. These short-term seasonal lines of credit are typically uncommitted in that the lenders have the right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans at any time. These short-term seasonal lines of credit are typically renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. We maintain various other financing arrangements that are continually analyzed in order to meet the cash requirements of our businesses. See "Note 13. Debt Arrangements" for additional information.

-37-

We believe that our current cash balances, together with our borrowing availability, provides us with sufficient financial resources to meet our business requirements in the next 12 months, including the ability to meet our principal and interest payments under the terms of our debt financing agreements.

During the remainder of fiscal 2020, we expect to incur capital expenditures for routine replacement of equipment and investments intended to add value to our customers or increase efficiency in our leaf business, for value-added agriculture capabilities, and expansion of our production capacity in Canada.

We utilize capital in excess of cash flow from operations to finance accounts receivable, inventory, and advances to tobacco suppliers in foreign countries. In addition, we may periodically elect to purchase, redeem, repay, retire, or cancel indebtedness prior to stated maturity under our various foreign credit lines and senior secured credit agreement or indentures, as permitted therein.

The information included below explains the sources and uses of our cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 as derived from our condensed consolidated financial statements:


	Nine Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Operating activities	$	(387,218)	$	(338,493)
Investing activities	119,616		138,299
Financing activities	150,047		142,885
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(5,277)		5,160
Decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	(122,832)		(52,149)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	192,043		264,660
Restricted cash at beginning of period	5,767		3,373
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period	$	74,978	$	215,884

Net cash used by operating activities increased $48.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in cash used was primarily due to increased inventory purchase requirements in Africa offset by smaller crop sizes in South America.

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased $18.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash provided was primarily due to higher purchases for property, plant, and equipment related to expansion of the Other Products and Services segment.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $7.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2018. This increase is primarily due to lower net proceeds from short-term borrowings due to decreases in purchasing requirements in South America and lower green inventory prices in Africa, partially offset by lower debt repayments on our senior notes.

Fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus many of the currencies in which we have costs may have an impact on our working capital requirements. We will continue to monitor and hedge foreign currency costs, as needed.

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2019 primarily consists of approximately $0.9 million in compensating balances held with lenders in various jurisdictions where we operate, and approximately $1.4 million held as escrow for bid bonds used in new customer tenders. See "Note 3. Restricted Cash" for additional information.

Approximately $55.2 million of our outstanding cash balance at December 31, 2019 was held in foreign jurisdictions, which includes approximately $0.6 million held by our legal Canadian cannabis businesses. As a result of our cash needs abroad and legal restrictions with respect to repatriation of the proceeds from operations of our Canadian cannabis subsidiaries, it is our intention to permanently reinvest these funds in foreign jurisdictions regardless of the fact that the cost of repatriation would not have a material financial impact.

Debt Financing

We continue to finance our business with a combination of short-term and long-term seasonal credit lines, an ABL facility, long-term debt securities, advances from customers, and cash from operations when available. See a summary of our short-term and long-term debt as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 at "Note 13. Debt Arrangements" for additional information. We will

continue to monitor and, as available, adjust funding sources as needed to enhance and drive various business opportunities that maintain flexibility and meet cost expectations.

Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were repaid with cash provided by operating activities. Available credit as of December 31, 2019 was $324.2 million comprised of $60.0 million under our ABL facility, $258.4 million of foreign seasonal lines of credit, and $5.7 million of availability for letters of credit. Borrowing under the ABL facility is permitted only to the extent that, after consideration of the application of the proceeds of the borrowing, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents would not exceed $180 million.

No cash dividends were paid to shareholders during the three months ended December 31, 2019. The payment of dividends is restricted under the terms of our ABL credit facility and the indentures governing the 8.5% senior secured first lien notes and the 9.875% senior secured second lien notes.

Zimbabwe Currency Considerations

The Company often holds Zimbabwe RTGS Dollars necessary for operations within Zimbabwe. As of December 31, 2019, the Company held $0 in the Zimbabwe RTGS Dollars. RTGS is a local currency equivalent that, as of December 31, 2019, was exchanged at a government specified rate of 16.8:1 with the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). In order to convert these units to U.S. Dollars, we must obtain foreign currency resources from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, subject to the monetary and exchange control policy in Zimbabwe. If the foreign exchange restrictions and government-imposed controls become severe, we may have to reassess our ability to control MTC. As of December 31, 2019, MTC has $90.4 million of net assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes to our market risk exposures since March 31, 2019. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Due to inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance (not absolute) that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of December 31, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See "Note 12. Contingencies and Other Information" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information with respect to legal proceedings, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, investors should carefully consider our risk factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or operating results. As of the date of this report, there are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, and in Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and Se ptember 30, 2019, except for updated information included in the following:

The spread of the coronavirus could adversely affect our results of operations and our liquidity.

We are carefully monitoring the commercial impact from the spread of the coronavirus reported to have recently surfaced in Wuhan, China. To the extent that anticipated shipments are substantially delayed, either as a result of further spread of the virus or as a result of precautionary measures implemented by governments or commercial enterprises to limit the spread of this virus, anticipated sales may not occur within anticipated time frames and we could experience cash shortfalls from operations that could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and our ability to maintain adequate liquidity.
