PART I

Item 1. Business

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this "Annual Report") is being filed by Pyxus International, Inc. (the "Company," "Pyxus," "we," or "us"). The Company is the successor issuer to Old Holdco, Inc. ("Old Pyxus") and was incorporated as a Virginia corporation in August 2020 to facilitate the Restructuring described below. The terms the "Company," "Pyxus," "we," or "us" when used with respect to periods commencing prior to the effectiveness of the Plan (as defined below), refer to Old Pyxus, unless the context would indicate otherwise. As the context requires, the "Company," "Pyxus," "we" and "us" also includes the consolidated subsidiaries of Pyxus International, Inc.

On June 15, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Old Pyxus (then named Pyxus International, Inc.) and its then subsidiaries Alliance One International, LLC, Alliance One North America, LLC, Alliance One Specialty Products, LLC and GSP Properties, LLC (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") to implement a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization to effectuate a financial restructuring (the "Restructuring") of Old Pyxus’ secured debt. On August 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") filed by the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. On August 24, 2020, the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms, and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness as set forth in the Confirmation Order and the Plan, Old Pyxus completed a series of transactions pursuant to which the business assets and operations of Old Pyxus were vested in a new Virginia corporation, Pyxus Holdings, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Confirmation Order and the Plan, at the effectiveness of the Plan, all outstanding shares of common stock, and rights to acquire the common stock, of Old Pyxus were cancelled and the shares of common stock of the Company were delivered to certain creditors of Old Pyxus. Other than our Chief Executive Officer, our Board of Directors does not include any of the individuals who served as directors of Old Pyxus at the time the Chapter 11 Cases were commenced or at the effectiveness of the Plan. These and other related matters are discussed in greater detail in "Note 3. Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," which is incorporated herein by reference. Cross references included in this Annual Report to "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" are to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report.

Company Overview

Pyxus is a trusted provider of responsibly sourced, independently verified, sustainable and traceable products and ingredients. Headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina, we contract with suppliers 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. Our core leaf tobacco operations continued to account for almost all of our revenues for the year ended March 31, 2022.

We are committed to responsible crop production that supports economic viability for the supplier, provides a safe working atmosphere for farmworkers and minimizes negative environmental impacts. Our agronomists maintain frequent contact with our contracted suppliers 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 through processing and final shipment, our SENTRI® traceability platform can provide clear visibility into how products are produced throughout the supply chain, supporting product integrity.

In an increasing number of markets, we also provide agronomy expertise for alternative crops. Our contracted tobacco supplier base often produces non-tobacco crops, 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.

Beginning in 2017, we undertook to diversify the Company's products and services. In support of this strategy, the Company made the following investments:

E-liquids

•On April 2, 2018, we purchased a 51% interest in Humble Juice, LLC ("Humble Juice"), a manufacturer and distributor of flavored e-liquids.

•On August 21, 2017, the Company completed a purchase of a 40% interest in Nicotine River, LLC ("Nicotine River"), a manufacturer, retailer and wholesale supplier of compounds used for e-liquid production, and on August 14, 2020,

the Company exchanged its 40% ownership interest in Nicotine River for an additional 14.3% interest in Humble Juice, then increasing the Company's ownership interest in Humble to 65.3%.

Industrial hemp/CBD

•On December 18, 2017, a subsidiary of the Company completed a purchase of a 40% interest in Criticality LLC ("Criticality"), a North Carolina-based industrial hemp company to engage in cannabidiol ("CBD") extraction and other applications for industrial hemp. On April 22, 2020, that subsidiary completed a purchase of the 60% interest in Criticality not owned by the subsidiary, and as a result Criticality became a wholly owned subsidiary of Pyxus.

Legal cannabis in Canada

•On January 25, 2018, a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of the Company acquired a 75% equity position in Canada’s Island Garden Inc. ("Figr East"). Figr East obtained license to produce and sell medicinal and adult-use cannabis in most of the provinces in the Canadian market. We acquired an additional 18% and 1.2% equity interest in Figr East on March 22, 2019 and October 15, 2019, respectively, increasing the ownership percentage to 94.2%.

•On January 29, 2018, a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of the Company acquired an 80% equity position in Figr Norfolk Inc. ("Figr Norfolk" and, together with Figr East "Figr"), formerly known as Goldleaf Pharm Inc., which obtained license to produce and sell medicinal and adult-use cannabis in most of the provinces in the Canadian market.

As further discussed below, we have generally divested or ceased operating these businesses and have returned our focus to our leaf tobacco businesses.

Following the effectiveness of the Plan and the election of additional members of our Board of Directors in October 2020, our Board of Directors determined to exit the industrial hemp, CBD and Canadian cannabis businesses in light of the Company’s limited capital resources and the continuing capital requirements to develop and expand these early-stage businesses. In December 2020, the Company commenced actions to exit operations of the industrial hemp businesses, including the production and sale of products containing extracts of industrial hemp, including CBD products, by Criticality. Criticality’s CBD extraction facility has ceased operations.

On January 21, 2021, Figr Norfolk Inc. ("Figr Norfolk") and Figr Brands, Inc. ("Figr Brands"), which are indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and Canada’s Island Garden Inc. ("Figr East", and together with Figr Norfolk and Figr Brands, the "Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries"), which, prior to its sale on June 28, 2021 was an indirect subsidiary of the Company, applied for relief from their respective creditors pursuant to Canada’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Canadian Court") in Ontario, Canada as Court File No. CV-21-00655373-00CL (the "CCAA Proceeding"). On January 21, 2021 (the "Order Date"), upon application by the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries, the Canadian Court issued an order for creditor protection of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of the CCAA and the appointment of FTI Consulting Canada Inc. to serve as the Canadian Court-appointed monitor of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries during the pendency of the CCAA Proceeding (the "Monitor"). As a result of the commencement of the CCAA Proceeding and the appointment of the Monitor, and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries were deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements as of the Order Date.

As a result of a sale process under an order issued by the Canadian Court in the CCAA Proceeding, the sale of Figr East and certain intangible assets of Figr Brands was completed on June 28, 2021 and the sale of assets of Figr Norfolk was completed on January 28, 2022. Pursuant to the CCAA Proceeding, the Company received funds in settlement of its debt claims with respect to the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and did not receive any recovery with respect to its equity interest in the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries. See "Note 5. CCAA Proceeding and Deconsolidation of Subsidiaries" and "Note 30. Subsequent Events" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

On November 23, 2021, the Company disposed of its ownership interests in Humble Juice, the Company's primary e-liquids business, in exchange for royalties on future revenue. During the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company's remaining e-liquids subsidiary, Twelfth State Brands LLC, which markets e-liquids under the Bantam trademark, suspended the sourcing of additional inventory and reduced staffing pending action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") on its applications to permit continued marketing of its remaining products.

ended March 31, 2021, and changes to business operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this reevaluation, effective during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company has eight operating segments organized by geographic area and product category and are aggregated into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Leaf. See "Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Leaf Tobacco Operations

Our leaf tobacco revenues are primarily comprised of sales of processed leaf tobacco and fees charged for processing and related services to manufacturers of tobacco products. Our leaf tobacco operations deal primarily in flue-cured, burley, and oriental tobaccos that are used in international cigarette brands.

We purchase tobacco on five continents and ship to customers globally. We primarily purchase tobacco directly from suppliers. In those instances, we assume the risk of matching the quantities and grades required by our customers to the entire crop we must purchase under contract.

Our arrangements with suppliers vary depending on our predictions of future supply and demand, local historical practice and availability of capital. In some locales, we purchase seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, and other products related to growing tobacco, which represent prepaid inventory, and issue them to suppliers with whom we have purchase contracts. The suppliers then utilize these inputs to grow tobacco, which we are contractually obligated to purchase if they meet our specifications. The advances of inputs for the current crop generally include the original cost of the inputs plus a mark-up and interest as it is earned. Where contractually permitted, we charge interest to the suppliers during the period the current crop advance is outstanding. We generally advance inputs at a price greater than our cost, which results in a mark-up on the inputs. We account for our advances to tobacco suppliers using a cost accumulation model, which results in us reporting our advances at the lower of cost or recoverable amounts excluding the mark-up and interest. The mark-up and interest on our advances are recognized when the tobacco is delivered as a decrease in our cost of the current crop. Upon delivery of tobacco, part of the purchase price paid to the supplier is paid in cash and part through a reduction of the advance balance. The advances applied to the delivery are reclassified out of advances and into unprocessed inventory. We advance inputs only to suppliers with whom we have purchase contracts. Under longer-term arrangements with suppliers, we may advance or guarantee financing on suppliers' capital assets, which are also recovered through the delivery of tobacco to us by our suppliers.

As a result of various factors including weather, not all suppliers are able to settle the entire amount of advances through delivery of tobacco in a given crop year. Throughout the crop cycle, we monitor events that may impact the suppliers’ ability to deliver tobacco. If we determine we will not be able to recover the original cost of the advances with deliveries of the current crop, or future crop deliveries, the unit cost of tobacco actually received is increased when unrecoverable costs are within a normal range or expensed immediately when they are above a normal range. The normal range is based on our historical results. We account for the unrecoverable costs in this manner to ensure only costs within a normal range are capitalized in inventory and costs that are above a normal range are expensed immediately as current period charges.

We process tobacco to meet each customer's specifications as to quality, yield, chemistry, particle size, moisture content and other characteristics. Unprocessed tobacco is a semi-perishable commodity. The processing of leaf tobacco facilitates shipping and prevents spoilage and is an essential service to our customers because the quality of processed leaf tobacco substantially affects the quality of the manufacturer’s end product. Accordingly, we have located our production facilities in proximity to our principal sources of tobacco. We process tobacco in Company-owned and third-party facilities around the world, including in Argentina, Brazil, China, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Macedonia, Malawi, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, United States, and Zimbabwe. These facilities encompass all leading export locations of flue-cured, burley and oriental tobaccos. After processing, whole leaves, bundles, strips or stems, and scrap where applicable, are separately packed in cases, bales, cartons or hogsheads for storage and shipment. Packed flue-cured, burley and oriental tobacco generally is transported in the country of origin by truck or rail, and exports are moved by ship.

During the year ended March 31, 2022, the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the five months ended August 31, 2020, and the year ended March 31, 2020, approximately 64%, 60%, 68%, and 67% of our total purchases for the respective period were from Brazil, China, Turkey, and the Africa Region. We have entered into contracts, joint ventures and other arrangements for the purchase of tobacco grown in substantially all other countries that produce export-quality flue-cured and burley tobacco.

Key Customers

In our leaf tobacco business, our primary customers are major consumer tobacco product manufacturers. Refer to "Note 29. Segment Information" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information regarding customers, and their respective affiliates, that account for more than 10% of our annual revenues. Pyxus delivered approximately 33% of its tobacco sales to customers in Europe, approximately 17% to customers in China, and approximately 13% to customers in the United States for year ended March 31, 2022. The remaining sales of leaf tobacco are to customers located in Asia, Africa, and other geographic regions of the world.

Competition

Leaf tobacco industry competition is based primarily on the price charged for products and services as well as the merchant's ability to meet customer specifications in the buying, processing, residue compliance and financing of tobacco. The Company is one of only two global, publicly held leaf tobacco merchants. We hold a leading position in most major tobacco growing regions in the world, including the principal export markets for flue-cured, burley and oriental tobacco. In addition to the primary global independent leaf tobacco merchants, there are a number of other independent global, regional or national competitors. Local independent leaf merchants with low fixed costs and overhead also supply cigarette manufacturers.

Seasonality

The purchasing and processing activities of our leaf tobacco business are seasonal. Tobacco purchases vary by market and tobacco variety. Flue-cured tobacco grown in North America is purchased, processed, and marketed generally during the five-month period beginning in July and ending in November. North American burley tobacco is purchased, processed, and marketed usually from late November through January or February. Tobacco grown in South America is usually purchased, processed, and marketed from January through July and in Africa from April through September. Other tobacco markets around the world have similar purchasing periods, although at different times of the year. During the purchasing, processing and marketing seasons, inventories of unprocessed tobacco, inventories of redried tobacco, and trade accounts receivable normally reach peak levels in succession. Current liabilities, particularly advances from customers, and short-term notes payable to banks, normally reach their peak in this period as a means of financing the seasonal expansion of current assets. At March 31, the end of our fiscal year, the seasonal components of our working capital reflect primarily the operations related to foreign-grown tobacco.

Track and Trace Technology

In connection with its leaf tobacco operations, the Company uses a proprietary "track and trace" system, which we have branded as the SENTRISM platform, which we believe provides transparency into the lifecycle of agricultural products by monitoring information and obtaining data related to the growth, cultivation, harvest, processing, formulation, testing, and release of individual batches of products. By obtaining data on products at each stage of the supply chain, SENTRISM permits proactive decision-making for both the Company and its leaf tobacco customers. The key features of the SENTRISM platform include:

•Product Tracking: Data collection and tracking at various stages in the product lifecycle permits customers and consumers to gain an understanding of where products originate from, how they were produced, and the product testing data in order to understand ingredients and the product journey.

•Control and Visibility: With access to increased data regarding the supply chain, we are able to monitor quality control at various points in the product route to market.

•Sustainability Commitments: SENTRISM incorporates visibility into the practices and procedures of the product supply chain.

•Lot Number Tracking: We are able to track specific products through the manufacturing process by lot number with full visibility to our customers. This permits us and our customers to discover more about the product, its origin and other information relevant to quality control and product transparency.

•Agronomic Services: SENTRISM utilizes an experienced team of agronomists to track data and insights regarding growing practices.

Regulation

See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for a discussion of applicable government regulation of leaf tobacco.

Human Capital Management

Our workforce is one of our most important stakeholder groups and is critical to achieving our purpose – to transform people’s lives so that together we can grow a better world. The attraction, development and retention of talent enables us to make progress against our business strategy, and it is essential that we create and maintain a culture of conducting business the right way. It is for these reasons that we dedicate resources to employee engagement, focus on creating a safe workplace and recognizing employees for the results that they deliver.

As of March 31, 2022, we employed approximately 3,000 people, excluding seasonal employees, in our worldwide operations. We maintain positive relationships with the Company’s employees and their respective organizations. We have collective bargaining agreements in place in many of the countries in which we operate and we have long-term agreements in-place in certain jurisdictions to resolve disputes through binding arbitration.

Oversight and Management

Our Human Resources department is responsible for managing employment-related matters, including recruiting and hiring, onboarding, compensation design and implementation, performance management, advancement and succession planning, and

professional and learning development. Our Board of Directors provides oversight of various matters pertaining to our workforce. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for executive compensation matters and oversight of the risks and programs related to talent management. Our Human Rights Policy and Code of Business Conduct highlight our commitment to diversity, inclusion, fairness, safety and equal opportunity in all aspects of employment.

In response to COVID-19, we focused on business continuity, health and safety of our employees, and adapting our ways of working to a new environment. We quickly implemented additional safety measures to protect essential employees in our offices and facilities, including social distancing protocols, face covering requirements, temperature checks, and additional cleaning and sanitation practices. We also enhanced remote-work arrangements and digital collaboration and related risk management.

Supply Chain Human Rights Matters

We support efforts to address human rights concerns in the tobacco supply chain. For example, in our tobacco supply chain, we use on-farm good agricultural practices assessments to assess suppliers’ compliance with labor practices. Our subsidiaries establish contract terms and conditions with tobacco suppliers related to issues such as forced and child labor, and they conduct social compliance due diligence throughout our tobacco-growing regions.

Environmental Compliance

Currently, there are no material estimated capital expenditures related to environmental control facilities. In addition, there is no material effect on capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position anticipated as a result of compliance with current or pending federal or state laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements and whether to invest in or remain invested in the Company’s securities. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, this Annual Report includes disclosure of risks and uncertainties, including in "Item 1A. Risk Factors", that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by us. Any such statement is qualified by reference to these cautionary statements. It is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Consequently, the risks and uncertainties identified in this Annual Report should not be considered a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that we may make from time to time except as may be required by law.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, our operating results, our financial condition, and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Annual Report.

Risks Related to Our Liquidity

We may not be able to achieve our stated goals, which may adversely affect our liquidity.

We face a number of risks, such as changes in economic conditions, continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in the leaf tobacco market, changes in regulations affecting the tobacco industry, other changes in demand for our products, and increasing expenses. We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing or other various

means to fund our business, both at a holding-company level and the local short-term credit lines that fund the operating needs of our non-U.S. local leaf tobacco subsidiaries. Our access to necessary financing may be limited, if it is available at all. Therefore, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Developments with respect to our liquidity needs and sources of liquidity could result in a deficiency in liquidity.

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 and shipping requirements, 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 during the fiscal year. We anticipate periods in the next twelve months during which our liquidity needs will approach the levels of our anticipated available cash and permitted borrowings under our credit facilities. Developments affecting our liquidity needs, including with respect to the foregoing factors, and sources of liquidity, including impacts affecting our cash flows from operations (including as a result of delays with respect to the anticipated timing of shipments of leaf tobacco, whether due to the impact of COVID-19, customer preferences, or other reasons) and the availability of capital resources (including an inability to renew or refinance short-term operating lines of credit and other short-term indebtedness), may result in a deficiency in liquidity. To address a potential liquidity deficiency, we may continue to undertake plans to minimize cash outflows, which could include exiting operations that do not generate positive cash flow. It is possible that, depending on the occurrence of events affecting our liquidity needs and sources of liquidity, such plans may not be sufficient to adequately or timely address a liquidity deficiency.

We may be unable to continue to access short-term operating credit lines to fund local operations on terms that are acceptable or at all.

We have historically financed our non-U.S. local leaf tobacco operations with short-term operating credit lines at the local level. These operating lines are typically seasonal in nature, corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. Certain of these facilities are uncommitted in that the lenders have the right to cease making loans or demand payment of outstanding loans at any time. Moreover, as these facilities mature, local lenders may not renew them or otherwise offer replacement financing facilities. If local lenders lose confidence in us, they may cease making loans or demand payment of outstanding loans with respect to uncommitted facilities or, with respect to committed facilities, decline to renew or extend existing facilities, or require stricter terms and conditions with respect to future facilities. We may not find these terms and conditions acceptable or they may overly restrict our ability to conduct our businesses successfully. An inability to maintain adequate financing to fund our non-U.S. local leaf tobacco operations in any significant location could result in a significant decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flow and may require us to exit operations in that jurisdiction.

Risks Related to our Indebtedness

We have substantial debt which may adversely affect us by limiting future sources of financing, interfering with our ability to pay interest, and principal on our indebtedness and subjecting us to additional risks.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness and debt service obligations. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $1,066.9 million in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness. This indebtedness included (i) approximately $90.0 million of outstanding borrowings pursuant to an ABL Credit Agreement (the "ABL Credit Agreement"), dated as of February 8, 2022 by and among, amongst others, Pyxus, our subsidiaries Pyxus Parent, Inc., and Pyxus Holdings, Inc. ("Pyxus Holdings"), and certain subsidiaries of Pyxus Holdings, certain lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to establish an asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility") which provides for revolving credit loans and letters of credit from time to time up to an initial maximum principal amount of $100.0 million subject to certain limitations, and matures on the earlier of February 8, 2027 or 90 days prior to the earliest maturity of obligations owing under the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Indenture (each as defined below), (ii) approximately $219.5 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans (the "Exit Term Loans") under an Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2020 (the "Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement"), by and among, amongst others, Pyxus Holdings, certain lenders party thereto and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, which Term Loans mature on February 24, 2025, (iii) approximately $270.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.00% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024 (the "Notes") of Pyxus Holdings pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of August 24, 2020 among Pyxus Holdings, the initial guarantors party thereto (including Pyxus International, Inc.), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and collateral agent, which Notes mature on August 24, 2024, (iv) approximately $107.8 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans (the "DDTL Term Loans") under a delayed-draw term loan lending facility (as amended on May 21, 2021, the "DDTL Facility") established under a term loan credit agreement (the "DDTL Facility Credit Agreement") dated April 23, 2021 among Intabex Netherlands B.V. ("Intabex"), our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, as the borrower, the Company, Pyxus Holdings, Pyxus Parent, Inc., Alliance One International, LLC and Alliance One International Holdings, Ltd. as guarantors, and the lenders party thereto, including certain funds managed by Glendon Capital Management LP, Monarch Alternative Capital LP, and Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P., which mature on July 31, 2022, (v) approximately $71.6 million in aggregate outstanding borrowings under a Third Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the "TDB Facility Agreement") among Pyxus and certain of our subsidiaries, including subsidiaries in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia, and Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank ("TDB"), which TDB Facility

Agreement terminates on June 30, 2024, unless terminated sooner at TDB's discretion on June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2023, and (vi) approximately $378.6 million in aggregate outstanding borrowings under local short-term operating lines of credit.

Our substantial debt could have important consequences, including:

•making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the ABL Credit Facility, the Exit Term Loans, the Notes, the DDTL Facility, the TDB Facility Agreement and our other obligations;

•requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, product development, and other purposes;

•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms and to otherwise fund working capital, capital expenditures, debt refinancing, acquisitions, and other general corporate requirements;

•hampering our ability to adjust to changing market conditions;

•increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged;

•limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, and the industries in which we operate;

•restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities; and

•exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as borrowings under a substantial portion of our debt are subject to variable interest rates.

We require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

We require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness and a substantial portion of our cash flow is required to fund the interest payments on our indebtedness. Our ability to service our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash. This is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, including the continuing impact of shipping constraints related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, a substantial portion of our debt, including borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, bears interest at variable rates. If market interest rates increase, variable-rate debt will create higher debt-service requirements, which would adversely affect our cash flow. We cannot assure you that our businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.

We may not be able to refinance or renew our indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We may not be able to renew or refinance our indebtedness, including indebtedness under the ABL Credit Facility, the Exit Term Loans, the Notes, the DDTL Facility (including any amendment and restatement thereof) or indebtedness under the TDB Facility Agreement, other seasonal credit lines, or other credit facilities, on substantially similar terms, or at all. Our ability to access short-term and long-term lending and capital markets to obtain, and the availability of acceptable terms and conditions of, financing are impacted by many factors, including: (i) our credit ratings; (ii) the liquidity and volatility of the overall lending and capital markets; and (iii) the current state of the economy, including the tobacco industry. There can be no assurances that we will be able to access the lending and capital markets to refinance our indebtedness. We may have to pay additional fees and expenses that we might not have to pay under normal circumstances, and we may have to agree to terms that could increase the cost of our debt structure. If we are unable to renew or refinance our indebtedness on terms that are not materially less favorable than the terms currently available to us or obtain alternative or additional financing arrangements, we may not be able to timely repay certain of our indebtedness, which may result in a default under other indebtedness. Failure to refinance or renew any material indebtedness would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We may not be able to satisfy the covenants included in our financing arrangements, which could result in the default of our outstanding debt obligations.

The agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility includes certain restrictive covenants, a springing covenant requiring that our fixed charge coverage ratio be no less than 1.10 to 1.00 during any cash dominion period under the ABL Credit Agreement, and a covenant requiring Domestic Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) greater than $20.0 million at all times until audited financial statements for fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 are delivered under the ABL Credit Agreement. Certain agreements governing our seasonal credit facilities, including the TDB Agreement, include financial and restrictive covenants applicable to the subsidiaries that borrow thereunder and in certain cases with respect to Pyxus. The agreements governing our other indebtedness, including the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Indenture and the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement, also include restrictive covenants. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:

•incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

•make investments;

•pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

•sell certain assets;

•create liens;

•consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets;

•enter into transactions with affiliates; and

•designate subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, the Indenture and the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement).

Complying with these covenants may cause us to take actions that we otherwise would not take or not take actions that we otherwise would take. Our failure to comply with certain of these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of our indebtedness, much of which is cross-defaulted to other indebtedness. In the past, we sought and obtained waivers and amendments under our then-existing financing arrangements to avoid future non-compliance with financial covenants and cure past defaults under restrictive covenants, including recent waivers with respect to financial covenants included in the TDB Facility Agreement and waivers under the Indenture, ABL Credit Facility and the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement with respect to the commencement of the CCAA Proceeding and the dispositions with respect to the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries. We also paid significant fees to obtain certain of these waivers and consents. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with, or obtain waivers and amendments related to, financial or restrictive covenants in the future.

Despite current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could exacerbate further the risks associated with our significant leverage.

We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future to the extent permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Indenture and the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2022, $302.1 million was available for borrowing under our short and long-term credit facilities. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the risks discussed above could intensify.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

We have been and will likely continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic and its related shipping constraints, labor shortages and supply-chain impacts.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our business and consolidated financial results, and we are unable to determine the extent, duration, or nature at this time. The intensity, duration and governmental responses to the pandemic, as well as the pace of vaccination efforts and the emergence of new variants of the virus that cause COVID-19, are all highly uncertain and could contribute to the ultimate impact on our business. Among other things, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and could continue to result, in:

•Shipping constraints, including vessel and equipment availability, closure of port facilities due to quarantines, port congestion, and rising freight costs, which have resulted in delays in shipments to customers;

•Disruptions in our supply chain or increased costs for certain materials or commodities;

•Labor shortages and difficulties filling positions within our organization; and

•Greater cybersecurity risk and other fraud risks.

Due to the scope of our operations, including emerging markets, and our sale to customers around the world, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the demand for our products may not coincide with impacts experienced in the United States in the event that the impacts in the United States improve over time due to increased vaccinations or improved medical treatments. Accordingly, to the extent that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States may improve over time, results of operations may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19 impacts in other areas of the world.

Risks Relating to Our Leaf Tobacco Operations

Our reliance on a small number of significant customers may adversely affect our financial results.

The customers of our leaf tobacco business are manufacturers of cigarette and other tobacco products. Several of these customers individually may account for a significant portion of our sales in a normal year. For the year ended March 31, 2022, Philip Morris International Inc., China Tobacco International Inc., and British American Tobacco each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues from continuing operations. In addition, tobacco product manufacturers have experienced consolidation and further consolidation among our customers could decrease such customers’ demand for our leaf tobacco or processing services. The loss of any one or more of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Vertical integration by our customers could materially adversely affect our financial performance.

Demand for our leaf tobacco or processing services could be materially reduced if cigarette manufacturers make the decision to significantly vertically integrate their operations, either through acquisition of our competitors, establishing new operations or contracting directly with suppliers. In general, our results of operations have not been adversely affected by vertical integration

initiatives, and some customers have reversed certain aspects of their previous vertical integration of operations. However, further vertical integration by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Global shifts in sourcing customer requirements may negatively affect our organizational structure and asset base.

Shifts in sourcing of tobacco may occur as a result of currency fluctuations, including changes in currency exchange rates against the United States Dollar ("USD"), the imposition of tariffs and other changes in international trade policies. We may not be able to timely or efficiently adjust to shifts in sourcing origins, and adjusting to shifts may require changes in our production facilities in certain origins and changes in our fixed asset base. We have incurred, and may continue to incur, restructuring charges as we continue to adjust to shifts in sourcing. Adjusting our capacity and adjusting to shifts in sourcing may have an adverse impact on our ability to manage our costs and could have an adverse effect on our financial performance.

Our financial results will vary according to growing conditions, customer indications, and other factors, which significantly impacts our ability to forecast our quarterly and annual financial performance.

Our financial results may be significantly affected by fluctuations in tobacco growing seasons and crop sizes, which affect the supply of tobacco. Crop sizes may be affected by, among other things, crop infestation and disease, the volume of annual tobacco plantings and yields realized by suppliers, and suppliers' elections to grow crops other than tobacco. The cultivation period for tobacco is dependent upon a number of factors, including the weather and other natural events, such as hurricanes or tropical storms, and our processing schedule and results of operations for any quarterly period can be significantly altered by these factors. The unpredictability may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change, which could increase the likelihood or severity of disruptive weather events.

The cost of acquiring tobacco can fluctuate greatly due to crop sizes and increased competition in certain markets in which we purchase tobacco. For example, short crops in periods of high demand translate into higher average green prices, higher throughput costs and less volume to sell. Furthermore, large crops translate into lower average green prices, lower throughput costs and excess volume to sell.

The timing and unpredictability of customer indications, orders, and shipments cause us to keep tobacco in inventory, increase our risk, and result in variations in financial results. The timing of shipments can be materially impacted by shortages of containers and vessels for shipping, increased spot-prices for shipping leading vessel operators to reduce cargo allocations of our customers' containers covered by lower-priced, long-term shipping arrangements, as well as infrastructure and accessibility issues in ports we use for shipment. We may, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, keep a significant amount of processed tobacco in inventory for our customers to accommodate their inventory management and other needs. Sales recognition by us and our subsidiaries is based on the passage of ownership, usually with shipment of product. Because individual shipments may represent significant amounts of revenue, our financial results may vary significantly depending on our customers’ needs and shipping instructions. These fluctuations result in varying volumes and sales in given periods, which also reduces your ability to compare our financial results in different periods or in the same periods in different years.

Loss of confidence in us by our customers, farmers and other suppliers may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

If our customers, farmers and other suppliers lose confidence in us, they may seek to establish alternative commercial relationships. In addition, in such circumstances, our suppliers, farmers, vendors, counterparties and service providers may seek to renegotiate the terms of our agreements, attempt to terminate their relationships with us or require financial assurances from us. If our suppliers, farmers, vendors, and other providers require stricter terms and conditions, we may not find these terms and conditions acceptable. Failure to timely obtain suitable inventory at competitive prices could materially adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Suppliers who have historically grown tobacco may elect to grow other crops instead of tobacco, which affects the world supply of tobacco and may impact our financial performance.

Increases in the prices for other crops have led and may in the future lead suppliers who have historically grown tobacco to elect to grow these other, more profitable, items instead of tobacco. A decrease in the volume of tobacco available for purchase may increase the purchase price of such tobacco. As a result, we could experience an increase in tobacco crop acquisition costs, which may impact our financial performance.

Our advancement of inputs to tobacco suppliers could expose us to losses.

make advances to suppliers. Unsatisfactory quantities or quality of the tobacco delivered could result in losses with respect to advances to our tobacco suppliers or the deferral of those advances.

When we purchase tobacco directly from suppliers, we bear the risk that the tobacco will not meet our customers’ quality and quantity requirements.

In countries where we contract directly with tobacco suppliers, we bear the risk that the tobacco delivered will not meet quality and quantity requirements of our customers. If the tobacco does not meet such market requirements, we may not be able to sell the tobacco we agreed to buy and may not be able to meet all of our customers’ orders, which would have an adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations.

Weather and other conditions can affect the marketability of our inventory, and climate change may adversely alter weather patterns in tobacco-growing regions.

Like other agricultural products, the quality of tobacco is affected by weather and the environment, which can change the quality or size of the crop. If a weather event is particularly severe, such as a major drought or hurricane, the affected crop could be destroyed or damaged to an extent that it would be less desirable to our customers, which would result in a reduction in revenues. If such an event is also widespread, it could affect our ability to acquire the quantity of products required by customers. In addition, the potential impact of climate change is uncertain and may vary by geographic region. The possible effects, as described in various public accounts, could include changes in rainfall patterns, water shortages, changing storm patterns and intensities, and changing temperature levels, all of which may be of greater permanence than typical weather fluctuations. Some or all of these impacts could adversely affect the ability of farmers in the regions in which we source leaf tobacco to continue to produce crops of acceptable quality and in sufficient quantities. Their inability to do so could materially adversely affect our operations, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, other items can affect the marketability of tobacco, including, among other things, the presence of:

•non-tobacco related material;

•genetically modified organisms; and

•excess residues of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides.

A significant event impacting the condition or quality of a large amount of the tobacco crops we buy could make it difficult for us to sell such tobacco or to fill our customers’ orders.

We face increased risks of doing business due to the extent of our international operations.

Some of the countries we do business in do not have stable economies or governments. Our international operations are subject to international business risks, including unsettled political conditions, uncertainty in the enforcement of legal obligations, including the collection of accounts receivable, fraud risks, expropriation, import and export restrictions, exchange controls, inflationary economies, currency risks, and risks related to the restrictions on repatriation of earnings or proceeds from liquidated assets of foreign subsidiaries. These risks are exacerbated in countries where we have advanced substantial sums or guaranteed local loans or lines of credit for the purchase of tobacco from suppliers.

In 2006, as a result of the political environment, economic instability, foreign currency controls, and governmental regulations in Zimbabwe, we deconsolidated our Zimbabwe subsidiary, Mashonaland Tobacco Company LTD ("MTC"). Subsequently, we determined that the significant doubt about our ability to control MTC was eliminated and reconsolidated MTC as of March 31, 2016. The Company utilizes the Zimbabwe RTGS system for local transactions. RTGS is a local currency equivalent that is exchanged at a government specified rate with USD. To convert these units to USD, the Company must obtain foreign currency resources from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, which are 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.

In recent years, economic problems in certain countries where we have international operations have received wide publicity related to devaluation and appreciation of the local currency and inflation, including the classification of the Argentina, Turkey, and Zimbabwe economies as highly inflationary. Devaluation and appreciation of the local currency and inflation can affect our purchase costs of tobacco and our processing costs. In addition, we conduct business with suppliers and customers in countries that have recently had or may be subject to dramatic political regime change. In the event of such dramatic changes in the government of such countries, we may be unable to continue to operate our business, or adequately enforce legal obligations, after the change in a manner consistent with prior practice.

Further, the imposition of governmental sanctions or other restrictions may preclude us from continuing to sell to certain customers or to source leaf tobacco from certain jurisdictions. For example, approximately $57.8 million of our revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022 was from direct sales to entities located in Russia. Governmental sanctions imposed in response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and additional sanctions imposed in response to the continuation or escalation of these

hostilities could restrict or prohibit such sales, which would have an adverse effect on our profitability, results of operations and financial position. Other limitations imposed on such subsidiaries' ability to continue to sell to customers in Russia, whether through commercial, societal or other pressures, could similarly have an adverse effect on our profitability, results of operations and financial position.

Failure of foreign banks in which our subsidiaries deposit funds or the failure to transfer funds or honor withdrawals may affect our results of operations.

Funds held by our foreign subsidiaries are often deposited in their local banks. In addition, we maintain deposit accounts with numerous financial institutions around the world in amounts that exceed applicable governmental deposit insurance levels. Banks in certain foreign jurisdictions may be subject to a higher rate of failure or may not honor withdrawals of deposited funds. In addition, the countries in which these local banks operate may lack sufficient regulatory oversight or suffer from structural weaknesses in the local banking system. Due to uncertainties and risks relating to the political stability of certain foreign governments, these local banks also may be subject to exchange controls and therefore unable to perform transfers of certain currencies. If our ability to gain access to these funds was impaired, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and we operate in jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations.

We are subject to the FCPA, which generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits. We operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations. Although our corporate policy prohibits foreign bribery and we have adopted procedures to promote compliance, we cannot assure you that our policy or procedures will work effectively all of the time or protect us against liability under the FCPA for actions taken by our agents, employees, and intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we acquire. Failure to comply with the FCPA, other anti-corruption laws and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities (including local laws) could lead to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures (including further changes or enhancements to our procedures, policies, and controls, the imposition of a compliance monitor at our expense and potential personnel changes and/or disciplinary actions), any of which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. Any investigation of any potential violations of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws by U.S. or foreign authorities also could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In 2010, we entered into settlements with the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve their investigations regarding potential criminal and civil violations of the FCPA. The settlements resulted in the disgorgement in profits and fines totaling $19.5 million, which have been paid. Both settlements also required us to retain an independent compliance monitor for a three-year term that was completed on September 30, 2013.

Our exposure to foreign tax regimes, and changes in U.S. or foreign tax regimes, could adversely affect our business.

We do business in countries that have tax regimes in which the rules are not clear, are not consistently applied and are subject to sudden change. This is especially true with regard to international transfer pricing. Our earnings could be reduced by the uncertain and changing nature of these tax regimes. Certain of our subsidiaries are and may in the future be involved in tax matters in foreign countries. While the outcome of any of these existing matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we are vigorously defending them and do not currently expect that any of them will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to our current expectation, the effect on our results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material.

We seek to optimize our tax footprint across globally. The related benefits are contingent upon existing tax laws and regulations in the countries in which our operations are located. Future changes in domestic or international tax laws and regulations could adversely affect our ability to continue to realize these tax benefits.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations.

We conduct our business in many countries around the world. Our business is generally conducted in USD, as is the business of the leaf tobacco industry as a whole. We generally must purchase tobacco in non-U.S. countries using local currency. As a result, local country operating costs, including the purchasing and processing costs for tobaccos, are subject to the effects of exchange fluctuations of the local currency against the USD. When the USD weakens against foreign currencies, our costs for purchasing and processing tobacco in such currencies increases. Although we operate in many non-U.S. countries and are exposed to fluctuations in the currencies of numerous foreign countries, exchange fluctuation in the Brazilian Real against the USD has the greatest potential for impact on our financial results. We attempt to reduce such currency risks by matching the timing of our working capital borrowing needs against the tobacco purchasing and processing funds requirements in the currency of the country where the tobacco is grown. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies can significantly affect our operating results.

In addition, the devaluation of foreign currencies has resulted and may in the future result in reduced purchasing power from customers whose capital resources are denominated in those currencies. We may incur a loss of business as a result of the devaluation of these currencies now or in the future.

Competition could erode our earnings.

The leaf tobacco industry is highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on the prices charged for products and services as well as the merchant’s ability to meet customer specifications in the buying, processing, and financing of tobacco. In addition, there is competition in all countries to buy the available tobacco. The loss or substantial reduction of any large or significant customer could reduce our earnings.

In addition to the two primary global independent publicly held leaf tobacco merchants, the cigarette manufacturers also buy tobacco directly from local and regional suppliers. We also face increasing competition from new local and regional independent leaf merchants with low fixed costs and overhead and good local customer connections, where the new entrants have been able to capitalize in the global transition to those markets. Any of these sources of new competition may result in less tobacco available for us to purchase and process in the applicable markets.

Continued high inflation may adversely affect our profitability and the demand for our leaf tobacco products.

The economies of the United States and other nations have recently experienced the highest levels of consumer price inflation in decades. Continued inflationary pressures may continue to increase our costs, including the cost of leaf tobacco that we purchase. If these increased costs cannot successfully be passed on to our customers, many of which have significant negotiating power, our profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, since our leaf tobacco products are used in the manufacture of tobacco consumer goods, consumer behavior that deprioritizes the purchase of tobacco consumer goods in response to inflationary increases in the price of such goods could result in reduced overall demand for consumer tobacco products and consequently for the leaf tobacco we provide to manufacturers, which could materially adversely affect of our profitability, results of operations and financial position.

Risks Relating to Other Aspects of Our Operations

We rely on internal and externally hosted information technology systems and disruption, failure, or security breaches of these systems could adversely affect our business.

We rely on information technology ("IT") systems, including systems hosted by service providers. For example, our enterprise resource planning system and our domestic employee payroll system are hosted by external service providers. Although we have disaster recovery plans and several intrusion preventive mitigating tools and services in-place, which are active inline services or are tested routinely, our portfolio of hardware and software products, solutions and services and our enterprise IT systems, including those hosted by service providers, may be vulnerable to damage or disruption caused by circumstances beyond our control, such as catastrophic events, power outages, natural disasters, computer system, or network failures, computer viruses or other malicious software programs, and cyber-attacks, including system hacking and other cyber-security breaches. For example, in April 2019, the Company discovered that the email accounts of two Canadian employees had been compromised resulting in the unauthorized access of customer and vendor data. These incidents were neither material nor compromised the Company’s other IT systems. The failure or disruption of our IT systems to perform as anticipated for any reason could disrupt our business and result in decreased performance, significant remediation costs, transaction errors, loss of data, processing inefficiencies, downtime, litigation, and the loss of suppliers or customers. A significant disruption or failure could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial performance and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.

In certain prior years, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Although we intend to continue to aggressively monitor and improve our internal controls, we cannot assure you that other material weaknesses will not occur in the future. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in misstatements in our financial statements in amounts that could be material. Ineffective internal controls could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the value of our common stock and could also require additional restatements of our prior reported financial information. In addition, because we are not an "accelerated filer" under applicable SEC regulations, we are not required to obtain and present a report of our independent accounting firm with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and we have not obtained such a report with respect to an evaluation of our internal controls as of March 31, 2022 and, accordingly, no such report is included in this Form 10-K.

Regulations regarding environmental matters may affect us by substantially increasing our costs and exposing us to potential liability.

We are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which we operate. Such regulations govern, among other things, emissions of pollutants into the air, wastewater discharges, waste disposal, the investigation and remediation of soil, and groundwater contamination, and the health and safety of our employees. For example, our products and the raw materials used in its production processes are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. We may be required to obtain environmental permits from governmental authorities for certain of its current or proposed operations. We may not have been, nor may it be able to be at all times, in full compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws, regulations or permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators.

As with other companies engaged in similar activities or that own or operate real property, we face inherent risks of environmental liability at our current and historical production sites. Certain environmental laws impose strict and, in certain circumstances, joint and several liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of the investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances as well as liability for related damages to natural resources. In addition, we may discover new facts or conditions that may change our expectations or be faced with changes in environmental laws or their enforcement that would impose additional liabilities. Furthermore, our costs of complying with current and future environmental, health, and safety laws, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposure to, regulated materials, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Derivative transactions may expose us to potential losses and counterparty risk.

We may, from time to time, enter into certain derivative transactions, including interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges are reported as income, and accordingly could materially affect our reported income in any period. In addition, the counterparties to these derivative transactions may be financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we would be subject to risks that these counterparties default under these transactions. In some of these transactions, our exposure to counterparty credit risk may not be secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions over the last few years have resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions, including bankruptcy. If one or more of the counterparties to one or more of our derivative transactions not secured by any collateral becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we would become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at the time under those transactions. We cannot assure you of the financial stability or viability of our counterparties.

Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from governments, as well as other stakeholders such as investors and customers, with respect to our environmental, social and governance ("ESG") policies, including sustainability policies, may impose additional costs on us or expose us to additional risks.

Governments, the non-governmental community, and industry increasingly understand the importance of implementing comprehensive environmental, labor, and governance practices. We are committed to implementing a robust sustainability management system, and we continue to implement what we believe are responsible ESG practices. Government regulations, however, could result in new or more stringent forms of ESG oversight and disclosures. These may lead to increased expenditures for environmental controls, land use restrictions, reporting, and other conditions, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

In addition, a number of governments are considering due diligence procedures to ensure strict compliance with environmental, labor, and government regulations. The European Union has proposed broad due diligence reporting requirements for all industries operating within Europe. The United States has called for a broader and more robust approach to labor compliance in foreign jurisdictions, which could include some of our strategic origins. Due to general uncertainty regarding the timing, content, and extent of any such regulatory changes in the United States or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our e-liquids business faces inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action, and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss, injury, or death.

As a manufacturer and distributor of products that are ingested or otherwise consumed by humans, our e-liquids business faces the risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation (including class proceedings and individual proceedings) if its products are alleged to have caused loss, injury or death. Our e-liquids business may be subject to these types of claims due to allegations that its products caused or contributed to injury, illness or death, made false, misleading or impermissible claims, failed to include adequate labelling and instructions for use or failed to include adequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these e-liquids products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could also occur. In addition, the manufacture and sale of any ingested or consumable product involves a risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Our e-liquids business may in the future have to recall certain of its products as a result of potential contamination and quality assurance concerns. A product liability claim or

regulatory action against our e-liquids business could result in increased costs and could adversely affect its reputation and goodwill with its consumers. We cannot assure you that product liability insurance can be maintained on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could result in the Company's becoming subject to significant liabilities that are uninsured.

The risk of class-based litigation (and individual litigation) for manufacturers and distributors of e-liquids and other vaping products, and others involved in the vaping industry, is significant, particularly in the face of increasing health and marketing concerns, the potential for product recalls or other product-related issues. The United States has a highly active plaintiffs’ bar. Recent years have seen a number of purported class action lawsuits in the United States against manufacturers and distributors of e-liquids and other vaping products. These circumstances create enhanced risk and exposure for the Company given the nature of its operations, the products it manufactures, distributes and sells, and its business environment.

Risks Relating to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

Certain shareholders have the ability to exercise controlling influence on various corporate matters.

Upon our emergence from Chapter 11, two shareholders and their respective affiliates, Glendon Capital Management LP (together with its affiliates, the "Glendon Investor") and Monarch Alternative Capital LP (together with its affiliates, the "Monarch Investor" the Glendon Investor and the Monarch Investor are together referred to as the "Significant Shareholders") beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 56% of our issued and outstanding common stock and, therefore, have significant control on the outcome of matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including, but not limited to, electing directors and approving corporate transactions. Pursuant to the terms of a Shareholders Agreement dated as of August 24, 2020 among the Company and certain shareholders, including the Significant Shareholders, each of the Glendon Investor and the Monarch Investor has the right (depending on its continued ownership of a specified percentage of the outstanding shares of our common stock) to nominate up to two individuals for election as directors, and each of them and the other shareholders that are parties to the Shareholders Agreement have agreed to take all necessary action to elect such nominees as directors. Under our articles of incorporation, the affirmative vote of each of the Glendon Investor and the Monarch Investor, so long as it continues to maintain an Investor Percentage Interest (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) of at least five percent, is required for the approval of any amendment to the articles of incorporation. It is our understanding that each of the Glendon Investor and the Monarch Investor hold a significant amount of the Notes and the Exit Term Loans. In addition, the Glendon Investor and the Monarch Investor are the lenders under the DDTL Facility. Circumstances may occur in which the interests of the Significant Shareholders could be in conflict with the interests of other shareholders, and the Significant Shareholders could have substantial influence to cause us to take actions that align with their interests. Should conflicts arise, we can provide no assurance that the Significant Shareholders would act in the best interests of other shareholders or that any conflicts of interest would be resolved in a manner favorable to our other shareholders.

The price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors that are unrelated to our operations.

Although our common stock is currently listed for quotation on the OTC Markets, we understand that no securities brokerage firm is making a market in the Company’s common stock. Trading through the OTC Markets is frequently thin and may be highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will continue in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of the markets in which our businesses operate, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

Risks Relating to the Tobacco Industry

Reductions in demand for consumer tobacco products could adversely affect our results of operations.

The tobacco industry, both in the United States and abroad, continues to face a number of issues that may reduce the consumption of cigarettes and adversely affect our business, sales volume, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

These issues, some of which are more fully discussed below, include:

•governmental actions seeking to ascribe to tobacco product manufacturers liability for adverse health effects associated with smoking and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke;

•smoking and health litigation against tobacco product manufacturers;

•increased consumer acceptance of electronic cigarettes;

•tax increases on consumer tobacco products;

•potential prohibition on the sale of menthol cigarettes in the United States;

•current and potential actions by state attorneys general to enforce the terms of the Master Settlement Agreement, or MSA, between state governments in the United States and tobacco product manufacturers;

•governmental and private bans and restrictions on smoking;

•actual and proposed price controls and restrictions on imports in certain jurisdictions outside the United States;

•restrictions on tobacco product manufacturing, marketing, advertising and sales;

•the diminishing social acceptance of smoking;

•increased pressure from anti-smoking groups;

•other tobacco product legislation that may be considered by Congress, the states, municipalities and other countries; and

•the impact of consolidation among multinational cigarette manufacturers.

Legislation and regulatory and other governmental initiatives could impose burdensome restrictions on the tobacco industry and reduce consumption of consumer tobacco products and demand for our services.

The Tobacco Control Act, which amended the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, extends the authority of the FDA to regulate tobacco products. This act authorizes the FDA to adopt product standards for tobacco products, including the level of nicotine yield and the reduction or elimination of other constituents of the products, along with provisions for the testing of products against these standards. The act imposes further restrictions on advertising of tobacco products, authorizes the FDA to limit the sales of tobacco products to face-to-face transactions permitting the verification of the age of the purchaser, authorizes a study to determine whether the minimum age for the purchase of tobacco products should be increased and requires submission of reports from manufacturers of tobacco products to the FDA regarding product ingredients and other matters, including reports on health, toxicological, behavioral, or physiologic effects of tobacco products and their constituents. The act also mandates warning labels and requires packaging to indicate the percentage of domestically grown tobacco and foreign grown tobacco included in the product, although the FDA has issued guidance to the industry announcing its intent to enforce the latter requirements until further notice. The FDA has adopted regulations under the act establishing requirements for the sale, distribution, and marketing of cigarettes, as well as package warnings and advertising limitations.

The act directs the FDA to promulgate regulations requiring that the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, preproduction design validation, packing, and storage of a tobacco product conform to current good manufacturing practice. Regulations under the act do not apply to tobacco leaf that is not in the possession of a manufacturer of tobacco products, or to the producers of tobacco leaf, including tobacco suppliers, tobacco warehouses, and tobacco supplier cooperatives unless those entities are controlled by a tobacco product manufacturer, but do apply to our U.S. cut rag processing facility with respect to covered tobacco products.

On April 28, 2022, the FDA announced its proposal to adopt regulations to prohibit the manufacture, distribution, and sale in the United States of cigarettes having menthol as a characterizing flavor and all cigars having a characterizing flavor other than tobacco. According to the FDA’s proposed rulemaking, sales of menthol-flavored cigarettes accounted for 34-36% of total cigarette sales in the U.S. in 2020. While we are unable to precisely estimate the portion of our sales of leaf tobacco in the U.S. that is used in the manufacture of menthol-flavored cigarettes, we believe a significant portion of our U.S. leaf tobacco sales are used for such purpose. In addition, a significant portion of the tobacco from our U.S. cut rag processing facility is used in the manufacture of flavored cigars. The FDA’s proposed regulations are subject to public comment and may not be adopted exactly as proposed. In addition, if the proposed regulations are adopted, the extent of any reduction in consumer demand for tobacco products is uncertain, though such reduction could be significant.

The full impact of the act, including regulations adopted thereunder, the recently proposed regulations, and any further regulatory action to implement the act, is uncertain. However, if the effect of the act and FDA regulations under the act is a significant reduction in consumption of tobacco products, it could materially adversely affect our business, volume, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Reports with respect to the harmful physical effects of cigarette smoking have been publicized for many years, and the sale, promotion and use of cigarettes continue to be subject to increasing governmental regulation. Since 1964, the Surgeon General of the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services have released a number of reports linking cigarette smoking with a broad range of health hazards, including various types of cancer, coronary heart disease and chronic lung disease, and recommending various governmental measures to reduce the incidence of smoking. More recent reports focus upon the addictive nature of cigarettes, the effects of smoking cessation, the decrease in smoking in the United States, the economic and regulatory aspects of smoking in the Western Hemisphere, and cigarette smoking by adolescents, particularly the addictive nature of cigarette smoking in adolescence. Numerous state and municipal governments have taken and others may take actions to diminish the social acceptance of smoking of tobacco products, including banning smoking in certain public and private locations.

A number of foreign nations also have taken steps to restrict or prohibit cigarette advertising and promotion, to increase taxes on cigarettes and to discourage cigarette smoking. In some cases, such restrictions are more onerous than those in the United States. For example, advertising and promotion of cigarettes has been banned or severely restricted for a number of years in Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Italy, Singapore and other countries. Further, in February 2005, the World Health Organization ("WHO") treaty, the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control ("FCTC"), entered into force. This treaty, which the WHO reports has been signed or otherwise ratified by 181 nations, requires party nations to enact legislation that would require, among other things, specific actions to prevent youth smoking; restrict or prohibit tobacco product marketing; inform the public about the health consequences of smoking and the benefits of quitting; regulate the content of tobacco products; impose new package warning requirements including the use of pictorial or graphic images; eliminate cigarette smuggling and counterfeit cigarettes; restrict smoking in public places; increase and harmonize cigarette excise taxes; abolish duty-free tobacco sales; and permit and encourage litigation against tobacco product manufacturers.

Due to the present regulatory and legislative environment, a substantial risk exists that tobacco product sales may decline. A significant decrease in worldwide tobacco consumption brought about by existing or future governmental laws and regulations would reduce demand for tobacco products and services and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Government actions can have a significant effect on the sourcing of tobacco. If some of the current efforts are successful, we could have difficulty obtaining sufficient tobacco to meet our customers’ requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our performance and results of operations.

A variety of government actions can have a significant effect on the sourcing and production of leaf tobacco. If some of the current proposed efforts are successful, we could have increased barriers to meeting our customers’ requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our performance and results of operations.

The WHO, through the FCTC, has specifically issued policy options and recommendations to promote crop diversification initiatives and alternatives to growing leaf tobacco in countries whose economies depend upon tobacco production. If certain countries were to follow these policy recommendations and seek to eliminate or significantly reduce leaf tobacco production, we could encounter difficulty in sourcing leaf tobacco from these regions to fill customer requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Certain recommendations by the WHO, through the FCTC, may also cause shifts in customer usage of certain styles of tobacco. In countries such as Canada and Brazil and in the European Union, efforts have been taken to eliminate certain ingredients from the manufacturing process for tobacco products. The FCTC and national governments have also discussed formulating a strategy to place limitations on the level of nicotine allowed in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Such decisions could cause a change in requirements for certain styles of tobacco in particular countries. Shifts in customer demand from one type of tobacco to another could create sourcing challenges as requirements move from one origin to another.

Regulations impacting our customers that change the requirements for leaf tobacco or restrict their ability to sell their products would inherently impact our business. We have implemented a proprietary "track and trace" system that gathers data on leaf product beginning at the farm level to assist our customers’ collection of raw material information to support leaf traceability and customer testing requirements. Additionally, given our global presence, we also have the ability to source different types and styles of tobacco for our customers should their needs change due to regulation. Despite our capabilities, the extent to which governmental actions will affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and demand for our products and services will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In addition, continued government and public emphasis on environmental issues, including climate change, conservation, and natural resource management, could result in new or more stringent forms of regulatory oversight of industry activities, which may lead to increased levels of expenditures for environmental controls, land use restrictions affecting us or our suppliers, and other conditions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, certain aspects of our business generate carbon emissions. Regulatory restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions have been proposed in certain countries in which we operate. These may include limitations on such emissions, taxes or emission allowance fees on such emissions, various restrictions on industrial operations, and other measures that could affect land-use decisions, the cost of agricultural production, and the cost and means of processing and transporting our products. These actions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have been subject to governmental investigations into, and litigation concerning, leaf tobacco industry buying and other payment practices.

The leaf tobacco industry, from time to time, has been the subject of government investigations regarding trade practices. For example, we were the subject of an investigation by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice into certain buying practices alleged to have occurred in the industry, we were named defendants in an antitrust class action litigation alleging a conspiracy to rig bids in the tobacco auction markets, and we were the subject of an administrative investigation into certain tobacco buying and selling practices alleged to have occurred within the leaf tobacco industry in some countries within the European Union, including Spain, Italy, Greece and potentially other countries.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters are leased and are located in Morrisville, North Carolina. We own nine facilities in seven countries that are material to our leaf operations. We operate our leaf tobacco processing facilities for seven to nine months per year corresponding with the applicable harvesting seasons. We continually compare our production capacity and organization with the transitions occurring in global sourcing of tobacco. We believe our domestic production facilities and certain foreign production facilities have the capacity to process additional volumes of tobacco if required by customer demand.

The following is a listing of the principal physical properties used in our leaf operations, all of which are owned by the Company, as of March 31, 2022:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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 the risks, uncertainties, and other factors set forth in "Item 1A, Risk Factors" in this Annual Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that we may make from time to time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). However, we use net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate our financial condition. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure, when viewed as a supplement to our indebtedness reflected on our balance sheets prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides useful information to investors in evaluating our indebtedness. In addition, this non-GAAP measure addresses questions we routinely receive from analysts and investors and, in order to ensure that investors have access to similar data, we make this data available to the public. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to total debt or any other measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP measure has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures may change from time to time, including as a result of changed business conditions, new accounting rules, or otherwise. Further, our use of "net debt" may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.

Executive Summary

We are proud of the progress made by the business during fiscal year 2022. Our employees worked diligently to successfully increase volumes and revenue compared to the prior year while continuing to navigate global challenges, which largely stem from the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the unfortunate events in Ukraine.

We continued to expand our customer relationships as customers sought solutions to reduce supply chain complexities and improve operational efficiencies. Expansion of these relationships, partially attributable to our environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") framework publicly announced in December 2021, increased our market share in Africa, Asia, and South America and contributed to a 16.8% increase in kilo volume compared to last year.

Our efforts in fiscal 2022 to execute on our strategy to increase financing sources and working capital lines around the globe resulted in a new asset-based lending ("ABL") credit facility with PNC Bank in February 2022, which provides the Company with an extended maturity date, reduced costs, and increased potential borrowing availability. In addition, in June 2022, we entered into an agreement to amend our delayed draw term loan facility ("DDTL"), which provides the Company with an extended maturity date, reduced costs, and increased financial flexibility.

In January 2022, we completed the exit of our cash-flow-negative cannabinoid operations. Our restructuring activities generated savings in SG&A, which contributed to a $55.9 million decrease in expense compared to last year. As a result, our SG&A expense has normalized and is consistent with levels prior to our investments to develop those businesses.

Maintaining farmer livelihood and a supply chain of responsibly sourced, sustainable, and traceable products remains a top priority as we engage with customers about the impact of inflation on the cost and price of tobacco going forward. Additionally, we have taken proactive measures to secure inputs for the next year, such as fertilizer and fuel, allowing us to remain focused on delivering stakeholder value as we work to grow a better world.

Overview

We are committed to responsible crop production that supports economic viability for the supplier, provides a safe working atmosphere for those involved in crop production and minimizes negative environmental impact. Our agronomists maintain frequent contact with suppliers 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 through processing and final shipment, our SENTRISM traceability system provides clear visibility into how products are produced throughout the supply chain, supporting product integrity.

We also provide agronomy expertise for growing leaf tobacco in numerous markets. Our contracted tobacco grower base produces a significant volume of non-tobacco crop utilizing the agronomic assistance that our team provides. Pyxus works with our grower base, as needed, to find markets for these crops as part of our ongoing efforts to improve farmer livelihoods and the communities in which they live.

Historically, the Company had nine operating segments that were organized by product category and geographic area and were aggregated into three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services. During year ended March 31, 2022, the Company reevaluated its operating and reportable segments under ASC Topic 280 - Segment Reporting in response to the effectiveness of the Plan in August 2020, the appointment of a new Board of Directors during the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the outcomes achieved from cost savings and restructuring initiatives implemented during the five months ended August 31, 2020 and the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the Company's exit from its industrial hemp, CBD, and Canadian cannabis businesses the seven months ended March 31, 2021, and changes to business operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this reevaluation, effective during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company has eight operating segments organized by geographic area and product category and are aggregated into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Leaf. An All Other category is included for purposes of reconciliation of the results of the Leaf reportable segment to the consolidated results. Refer to "Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for additional information.

U.S. Bankruptcy Proceedings

On June 15, 2020, Old Pyxus (then named Pyxus International, Inc.) and its then subsidiaries Alliance One International, LLC, Alliance One North America, LLC, Alliance One Specialty Products, LLC and GSP Properties, LLC (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") to implement a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization to effectuate a financial restructuring (the "Restructuring") of Old Pyxus’ secured debt. On August 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") filed by the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. On August 24, 2020 (the "Effective Date"), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms, and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness as set forth in the Confirmation Order and the Plan, Old Pyxus completed a series of transactions pursuant to which the business assets and operations of Old Pyxus were vested in a new Virginia corporation, Pyxus Holdings, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Confirmation Order and the Plan, at the effectiveness of the Plan, all outstanding shares of common stock, and rights to acquire the common stock, of Old Pyxus were cancelled and the shares of common stock of the Company were delivered to certain creditors of Old Pyxus. Accordingly, upon the effectiveness of the Plan the Company, through its subsidiaries, operated all of the businesses operated by Old Pyxus and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Plan and the Company is the successor issuer to Old Pyxus. Other than our Chief Executive Officer, our Board of Directors does not include any of the individuals who served as directors of Old Pyxus at the time the Chapter 11 Cases were commenced or at the effectiveness of the Plan. Refer to "Note 3. Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Development of Businesses

Beginning in 2017, we undertook a strategic process designed to diversify the Company's products and services by leveraging our core strengths in agronomy and traceability. In general, our diversification strategy focused on products that were value-added, required some degree of processing and offered a higher margin potential than our core tobacco leaf business. In support of this strategy, the Company made certain investments in e-liquids and industrial hemp/CBD businesses in the United States and legal cannabis businesses in Canada. Refer to "Item 1. Business" for additional information regarding these investments. As discussed below, we have generally divested or ceased operating these businesses and have returned our focus to our leaf tobacco businesses.

On November 23, 2021, the Company disposed of its ownership interests in Humble Juice, the Company's primary e-liquids business, in exchange for royalties on future revenue. During the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company's remaining e-liquids subsidiary, Twelfth State Brands LLC, which markets e-liquids under the Bantam trademark, suspended the sourcing of additional inventory and reduced staffing pending action by the FDA on its applications to permit continued marketing of its remaining products.

CCAA Proceeding and Deconsolidation and Disposition of Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries

On January 21, 2021, Figr Norfolk Inc. ("Figr Norfolk") and Figr Brands, Inc. ("Figr Brands"), which are indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and Canada’s Island Garden Inc. ("Figr East," and together with Figr Norfolk and Figr Brands, the "Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries"), which, prior to its sale on June 28, 2021 was an indirect subsidiary of the Company, applied for relief from their respective creditors pursuant to Canada’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Canadian Court") in Ontario, Canada as Court File No. CV-21-00655373-00CL (the "CCAA Proceeding"). On January 21, 2021 (the "Order Date"), upon application by the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries, the Canadian Court issued an order for creditor protection of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of the CCAA and the appointment of FTI Consulting Canada Inc. to serve as the Canadian Court-appointed monitor of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries during the pendency of the CCAA Proceeding (the "Monitor"). As a result of the commencement of the CCAA Proceeding and the appointment of the Monitor, and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries were deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements as of the Order Date.

As a result of a sale process under an order issued by the Canadian Court in the CCAA Proceeding, the sale of Figr East and certain intangible assets of Figr Brands was completed on June 28, 2021 and the sale of assets of Figr Norfolk was completed on January 28, 2022. Pursuant to the CCAA Proceeding, we received funds in settlement of our debt claims with respect to the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and did not receive any recovery with respect to our equity interest in the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries. Refer to "Note 5. CCAA Proceeding and Deconsolidation of Subsidiaries" and "Note 30. Subsequent Events" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

COVID-19

We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Company and workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic and government actions implemented to contain further spread of COVID-19 have severely restricted economic activity around the world, and the onset of new variants of COVID-19 threaten to prolong the effects of the pandemic. The leaf tobacco business continues to be impacted by COVID-related shipping constraints, including vessel and equipment availability, closure of port facilities due to quarantines, port congestion, and rising freight costs, which have resulted in delays in shipments to customers. Our production facilities are still operating but, in some instances, at lower production levels than planned due to social distancing requirements and safety practices implemented in accordance with Company policy. While our supply chains and distribution channels continue to experience delays due to COVID-19 in certain markets, we currently have adequate supply of products to meet the near-term forecasted demand.

Broad economic factors from the COVID-19 pandemic, including increasing unemployment rates and reduced consumer spending, may extend billing and collection cycles. Deterioration in the collectability of accounts receivable from extended billing and collection cycles would adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, leading to working capital constraints. If general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate continue to deteriorate or remain uncertain for an extended period of time, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows will be adversely affected. Due to the geographic scope of our operations, including emerging markets, and our sale to customers around the world, our operations and the demand for our products are subject to the impact of COVID-19 on a global scale. In addition, we cannot predict the extent or duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global, national or local economies, or the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Fresh Start Reporting

The Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 852 – Reorganizations ("ASC 852") in preparing the consolidated financial statements. For periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, ASC 852 requires distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business. Upon the effectiveness of the Plan and the emergence of the Debtors from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company determined it qualified for fresh start reporting under ASC 852, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes on the Effective Date (as defined above). Our financial results for the year ended March 31, 2020 and for the five months ended August 31, 2020 are referred to as those of the "Predecessor." Our financial results for the seven months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended March 31, 2022 are referred to as those of the "Successor." Our results of operations as reported in our consolidated financial statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with fresh start reporting, which requires that we report on our results for the periods prior to the Effective Date separately from the period following the Effective Date. The Company elected to apply fresh start reporting using a convenience date of August 31, 2020

(the "Fresh Start Reporting Date"). The Company evaluated and concluded the events between August 24, 2020 and August 31, 2020 were not material to the Company's financial reporting on both a quantitative or qualitative basis. Refer to "Note 4. Fresh Start Reporting" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

We do not believe that reviewing the results of periods that span the Fresh Start Reporting Date in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our overall operating performance. Management believes that operating metrics for the Successor for the seven months ended March 31, 2021 when combined with those of the Predecessor for the five months ended August 31, 2020 provides a more meaningful comparison to the results for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2022 and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the table and discussion below also present the combined results for these periods. The combined results (referenced as "Combined (Non-GAAP)" or "combined") for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period April 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020 combined with the Successor period from September 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The combined operating results are presented for supplemental purposes only, may not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from bankruptcy, may not be indicative of future results and should not be viewed as a substitute for the financial results of the Predecessor period and Successor period presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the following discussion of results of operations, comparisons of combined results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 are to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2020.

Segment operating income (loss) of $81.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 increased $128.5 million, or 276.1%, from combined operating loss of $46.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. This increase was mainly due to higher leaf sales and other operating revenues and increased average leaf gross margin per kilo, as well as the deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of year ended March 31, 2021 and savings from restructuring initiatives contributing to gross profit improvement and the reduction of sales, general, and administrative expenses.

Sales and other operating revenues increased $308.0 million, or 23.1%, to $1,639.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 from combined sales and other operating revenues of $1,331.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. This increase was due to a 16.8% increase in kilo volume and a 7.5% increase in average price per kilo. The 16.8% increase in kilo volume was driven by larger crop sizes in Africa and increased market share in Africa, Asia, and South America partially due to customers reversing their vertical integration in certain markets. In addition, 21.1 million kilos or $178.3 million of shipments were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and customer shipping instructions from the prior year into the current year and was offset by similar volume of shipments expected in the current year that has been delayed into next year in Africa, North America, and South America. The 7.5% increase in average price per kilo was primarily due to product mix having a higher concentration of lamina in Asia, Africa, and Europe, as well as customer and grade mix in Africa and North America.

Cost of goods and services sold increased $242.3 million, or 20.7%, to $1,412.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 from combined cost of goods and services sold of $1,170.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. This increase was driven by the increase in sales and other operating revenues. Average cost per kilo increased primarily due to higher tobacco prices.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 13.8% for the year ended March 31, 2022 from combined gross profit as a percent of sales of 12.1% for the year ended March 31, 2021. This increase was mainly due to the deconsolidation of the Company's Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2021, the wind down of the industrial hemp and CBD businesses, and customer mix. Average gross profit per kilo increased primarily due to customer mix.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $55.9 million, or 28.2%, to $142.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 from combined selling, general, and administrative expenses of $197.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of sales decreased to 8.7% for the year ended March 31, 2022 from combined selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of sales of 14.9% for the year ended March 31, 2021. These decreases were related to increased sales and other operating revenues, the deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of year ended March 31, 2021, and savings from restructuring initiatives.

Goodwill impairment charges of $32.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 were from the full write-off of the carrying value of goodwill for each of the Company's reporting units. See "Note 16. Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net" for additional information.

Loss on deconsolidation/disposition of subsidiaries decreased $59.5 million, or 84.8%, to $10.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 from combined loss on deconsolidation/disposition of subsidiaries of $70.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2021. The combined loss on deconsolidation/disposition of subsidiaries in the prior year was attributable to the deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries in connection with the commencement of the CCAA Proceeding, while the loss on deconsolidation/disposition of subsidiaries in the current year was attributable to write-downs of the Company's related party receivable from the CCAA Proceeding and the disposition of Humble Juice during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Combined reorganization items of $106.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 were incurred during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Combined sales and other operating revenues decreased $195.4 million, or 12.8%, to $1,331.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 from $1,527.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was due to a 4.8% decrease in leaf volume and a 10.3% decrease in leaf average selling prices. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cannabinoid revenue attributable to sales occurring in most of the Canadian provinces, as well as the launch of the GO! cannabinoid product line in Canada. The 4.8% decrease in leaf volume was primarily due to smaller crop sizes in Africa and shipments delayed into fiscal 2022 by the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, Asia, and North America, as well as customer shipping instructions in North America. This decrease was partially offset by higher volume in South America driven by the timing of shipments. The 10.3% decrease in leaf average sales prices was due to changes in foreign exchange rates in Europe and South America and product mix in Africa and Europe having a lower concentration of lamina. This decrease was partially offset by product mix having a higher concentration of lamina in Asia, North America, and South America.

Combined cost of goods sold decreased $132.1 million, or 10.1%, to $1,170.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 from $1,302.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was mainly due to the reduction in sales and other operating revenues. This decrease was partially offset by $32.1 million of inventory write-offs related to the Company's actions to exit operations of the industrial hemp businesses and shifts in expected future products mix in response to market supply conditions.

Combined gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 12.1% for the year ended March 31, 2021 from 14.7% for the year ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was mainly due to the inventory write-offs described above and product mix in Africa and Europe having a lower concentration of lamina.

Combined selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 0.6%, to $197.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 from $199.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was driven by lower travel expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, current-year savings from restructuring initiatives, and $13.8 million of costs incurred to evaluate and develop plans for a potential partial monetization of interests in subsidiaries in the All Other category in the prior year. The decrease was partially offset by $21.8 million of expenses in the current year associated with the Chapter 11 Cases. Combined selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of sales increased to 14.9% for the year ended March 31, 2021 from 13.0% for the year ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to the decrease in sales and other operating revenues.

Combined restructuring and asset impairment charges increased $6.8 million or 121.4% to $12.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 from $5.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. This increase was attributable to employee separation and impairment charges related to the CCAA Proceeding and the restructuring of certain U.S. operations, which included the industrial hemp and CBD businesses, and the continued restructuring of certain African operations.

Combined loss on deconsolidation/disposition of subsidiaries of $70.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2021 related to the deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries in connection with the commencement of the CCAA Proceeding.

Combined interest expense, net decreased $32.2 million, or 24.2%, to $100.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 from $132.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was driven by lower outstanding long-term debt balances, as well as lower balances on the African seasonal lines of credit.

Combined reorganization items of $106.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 were comprised of the $462.3 million gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, partially offset by fees and costs incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, including with respect to the debtor-in-possession financing, and fresh start reporting adjustments.

Combined income tax expense decreased $118.3 million, or 89.8%, to $13.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 from $131.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the reversal of valuation allowances recorded in the prior year, which were driven by substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern prior to the implementation of the Plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

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. 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 year end. The first three quarters generally represent the peak of our working capital requirements. Although we believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating needs for the next twelve months, we anticipate periods during which our liquidity needs for operations will approach the levels of our anticipated available cash and permitted borrowings under our credit facilities. Unanticipated developments affecting our liquidity needs, including with respect to the foregoing factors, and sources of liquidity, including impacts affecting our cash flows from operations and the availability of capital resources (including an inability to renew or refinance seasonal lines of credit), may result in a deficiency in liquidity. To address a potential liquidity deficiency, we may undertake plans to minimize cash outflows, which could include exiting operations that do not generate positive cash flow. It is possible that, depending on the occurrence of events affecting our liquidity needs and sources of liquidity, such plans may not be sufficient to adequately or timely address a liquidity deficiency.

Debt Financing

We continue to finance our business with a combination of short-term and long-term seasonal credit lines, the long-term debt securities, advances from customers, and cash from operations when available. See "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for a summary of our short-term and long-term debt. We continuously monitor and, as available, adjust funding sources as needed to enhance and drive various business opportunities. From time to time we may take steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position. Such actions could include prepayments, open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other redemptions or retirements of outstanding debt, and refinancing of debt. The amount of prepayments or the amount of debt that may be repurchased, refinanced, or otherwise retired, if any, will depend on market condition, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants, and other considerations.

Exit Term Loan Credit Facility

On the Effective Date, Pyxus Holdings entered into an Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement"), to establish a term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $213.4 million (the "Exit Term Loan Credit Facility"). The aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under Debtors’ debtor-in-possession financing facility, and related fees, were converted into, or otherwise satisfied with the proceeds of, the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility.

The Exit Term Loan Credit Facility permits both base rate borrowings and LIBOR borrowings. Borrowings under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 800 basis points or 700 basis points above base rate, as applicable. In addition to the cash interest payments, from and after the first anniversary of the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement, the term loans (the "Exit Term Loans") under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility bear "payment in kind" interest in an annual rate equal to 100 basis points, which rate increases by an additional 100 basis points on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Pyxus Holdings’ obligations under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility (and certain related obligations) are (a) guaranteed by Pyxus Parent, Inc. and the Company, all of Pyxus Holdings’ material domestic subsidiaries and certain of Pyxus Holdings’ foreign subsidiaries (the "Foreign Guarantors"), and each of Pyxus Holdings’ future material domestic subsidiaries is required to guarantee the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility on a senior secured basis (including Pyxus Holdings, collectively, the "Exit Term Facility Loan Parties") and (b) secured by certain collateral owned by the Exit Term Facility Loan Parties.

The Exit Term Loans and the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility mature on February 24, 2025. At March 31, 2022, the aggregate principal amount of the Exit Term Loans outstanding was approximately $219.5 million. As of March 31, 2022, Pyxus Holdings was in compliance with all covenants under the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Refer to "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Senior Secured First Lien Notes

On the Effective Date, Pyxus Holdings issued approximately $280.8 million in aggregate principal amount of its 10.0% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024 (the "Notes") to holders of specified claims under the Plan pursuant to the Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of the Effective Date among Pyxus Holdings, the initial guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and collateral agent. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The Notes are initially guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company, all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries (other than Pyxus Holdings) and the Foreign Guarantors, on

a subordinated basis to the guarantees securing the Exit Term Loan Facility, and each of its future material domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee the Notes on a senior secured basis (collectively, the "Notes Guarantors"). The obligations of Pyxus Holdings and the Notes Guarantors with respect to the Notes and the Indenture are secured by certain collateral owned by Pyxus Holdings and the Notes Guarantors. The Notes mature on August 24, 2024. At March 31, 2022, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding was approximately $270.8 million. At March 31, 2022, each of Pyxus Holdings and each guarantor of the Notes was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

Refer to "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

ABL Credit Facility

On February 8, 2022, Pyxus Holdings, certain subsidiaries of Pyxus Holdings (together with Pyxus Holdings, the "Borrowers"), and the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pyxus Parent, Inc., as guarantors, entered into an ABL Credit Agreement (the "ABL Credit Agreement"), dated as of February 8, 2022, by and among Pyxus Holdings, as Borrower Agent, the Borrowers and parent guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, to establish an asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), the proceeds of which may be used to refinance existing senior bank debt, pay fees and expenses related to the ABL Credit Facility, partially fund capital expenditures, and provide for the ongoing working capital needs of the Borrowers. The ABL Credit Facility may be used for revolving credit loans and letters of credit from time to time up to an initial maximum principal amount of $100.0 million, subject to the limitations described below in this paragraph. The ABL Credit Facility includes a $20.0 million uncommitted accordion feature that permits Pyxus Holdings, under certain conditions, to solicit the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility to provide additional revolving loan commitments to increase the aggregate amount of the revolving loan commitments under the ABL Credit Facility not to exceed a maximum principal amount of $120.0 million. The amount available under the ABL Credit Facility is limited by a borrowing base consisting of certain eligible accounts receivable and inventory, reduced by specified reserves, as follows:

•85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus

•90% of eligible credit insured accounts receivable, plus

•the lesser of (i) 70% of eligible inventory valued at the lower of cost (based on a first-in first-out basis) and market value thereof (net of intercompany profits) or (ii) 85% of the net-orderly-liquidation value percentage of eligible inventory, minus

•applicable reserves.

At March 31, 2022, $10.0 million was available for borrowing under the ABL Credit facility, after reducing availability by the aggregate borrowings under the ABL Credit facility of $90.0 million outstanding on that date and the $20.0 million of Domestic Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) required to be maintained.

The ABL Credit Facility permits both base rate borrowings and borrowings based upon the Bloomberg-Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate ("BSBY"). Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to one, three, or six-month reserve-adjusted BSBY Rate plus 300 basis points or 200 basis points above base rate, as applicable, with a fee on unutilized commitments at an annual rate of 37.5 basis points.

The ABL Credit Facility matures, subject to extension on terms and conditions set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement, on the earlier of February 8, 2027 or 90 days prior to the earliest maturity of obligations owing under the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Indenture.

The ABL Credit Facility may be prepaid from time to time, in whole or in part, without prepayment or premium, subject to a termination fee upon the permanent reduction of commitments under the ABL Credit Facility of 300 basis points for terminations in the first year after entry into the ABL Credit Agreement, 200 basis points for terminations in the second year and 100 basis points for termination in the third year. In addition, customary mandatory prepayments of the loans under the ABL Credit Facility are required upon the occurrence of certain events including, without limitation, outstanding borrowing exposures exceeding the borrowing base, certain dispositions of assets outside of the ordinary course of business in respect of certain collateral securing the ABL Credit Facility and certain casualty and condemnation events. With respect to base rate loans, accrued interest is payable monthly in arrears and, with respect to BSBY loans, accrued interest is payable monthly and on the last day of any applicable interest period.

The Borrowers’ obligations under the ABL Credit Facility (and certain related obligations) are (a) guaranteed by Pyxus Parent, Inc. and the Company and all of Pyxus Holdings’ wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, and each of Pyxus Holdings’ future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries is required to guarantee the ABL Credit Facility on a senior secured basis (collectively, the "ABL Loan Parties") and (b) secured by the collateral, as described below, which is owned by the ABL Loan Parties.

The liens and other security interests granted by the ABL Loan Parties on the collateral for the benefit of the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility (and certain related secured parties) are, subject to certain permitted liens, secured by first-priority security interests on a pari passu basis with the security interests securing the ABL Loan Parties’ obligations under the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Notes. The obligations of Pyxus Holdings and each other ABL Loan Party under the ABL Credit Facility and any related guarantee are repaid pursuant to a waterfall with respect to portions of the Collateral as set forth in the existing intercreditor agreements with respect to Pyxus Holdings’ senior secured debt.

Cash Dominion

Under the terms of the ABL Credit Facility, if (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) excess borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Facility (based on the lesser of the commitments thereunder and the borrowing base) (the "Excess Availability") falls below 10% of the total commitments under the ABL Credit Facility at such time, or (iii) Domestic Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) being less than $20.0 million, the ABL Loan Parties will become subject to cash dominion, which will require daily prepayment of loans under the ABL Credit Facility with the cash deposited in certain deposit accounts of the ABL Loan Parties, including concentration accounts, and will restrict the ABL Loan Parties’ ability to transfer cash from their concentration accounts to their disbursement accounts. Such cash dominion period (a "Dominion Period") shall end when (i) if arising as a result of a continuing event of default, such event of default ceases to exist, (ii) if arising as a result of non-compliance with the Excess Availability threshold, Excess Availability shall be equal to or greater than 10% of the total commitments under the ABL Credit Facility for a period of 30 consecutive days and no event of default is continuing, or (iii) if arising as a result of Domestic Availability being less than $20.0 million, Domestic Availability is greater than $20.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive days and no event of default is continuing.

Covenants

The ABL Credit Agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility contains (i) a springing covenant requiring that the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio be no less than 1.10 to 1.00 during any Dominion Period and (ii) a covenant requiring Domestic Availability greater than $20.0 million at all times until audited financial statements for fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 are delivered under the ABL Credit Agreement.

The ABL Credit Agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (subject, in each case, to exceptions and qualifications) and events of defaults, including covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things:

•incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;

•make investments;

•pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

•sell certain assets;

•create liens;

•enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

•consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

•enter into transactions with affiliates; and

•designate subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement).

On March 31, 2022, the Borrowers were in compliance with all covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement. See "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

DDTL Facility

On April 23, 2021, Intabex Netherlands B.V. ("Intabex"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended on May 21, 2021, the "DDTL Facility Credit Agreement"), dated as of April 23, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), by and among (i) Intabex, as borrower, (ii) the Company, Pyxus Parent, Inc., Pyxus Holdings, Inc., Alliance One International, LLC, Alliance One International Holdings, Ltd, as guarantors (collectively, the "Parent Guarantors"), (iii) the lenders party thereto, which currently include certain funds managed by Glendon Capital Management LP, Monarch Alternative Capital LP, and Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P. (collectively and, together with any other lender that is or becomes a party thereto as a lender, the "DDTL Facility Lenders"), and (iv) Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "DDTL Agent"). The DDTL Facility Credit Agreement establishes a $120.0 million delayed-draw term loan credit facility (the "DDTL Facility") permitting borrowings by Intabex in up to four draws on or prior to June 30, 2021 in a minimum amount of $30.0 million each (or, if less than $30.0 million remains available under the DDTL Facility, the remaining commitments under the DDTL Facility) (the "DDTL Loans"). The proceeds of the DDTL Loans are to be used to provide ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes of Intabex, the Guarantors (as defined below) and their subsidiaries.

Interest on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding DDTL Loans accrues at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 9.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.5%, for "LIBOR loans" or, for loans that are not LIBOR loans, at an annual rate of an alternative base

rate (as specified in the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement) plus 8.0%. The obligations of Intabex under the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement (and certain related obligations) are (a) guaranteed by the Parent Guarantors and Alliance One International Tabak B.V., an indirect subsidiary of the Company, and each of the Company’s domestic and foreign subsidiaries that is or becomes a guarantor of borrowings under the Exit Term Loan Credit Agreement (which subsidiaries are referred to collectively, together with the Parent Guarantors, as the "Guarantors").

The DDTL Facility and all DDTL Loans made thereunder mature on July 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, the aggregate principal amount of the DDTL Loans outstanding was $107.8 million, and the Company and each of the Guarantors were in compliance with all covenants under the DDTL Credit Facility Agreement.

Related Party Transaction

Based on a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on September 3, 2020 by Glendon Capital Management, L.P., Glendon Opportunities Fund, L.P. and Glendon Opportunities Fund II, L.P., Glendon Capital Management, L.P. reported beneficial ownership of 7,938,792 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 31.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

Altman, Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P. is the investment manager of certain funds and reported beneficial ownership of 2,405,287 shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2021, representing approximately 9.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to a Shareholders Agreement dated as of August 24, 2020 (the "Shareholders Agreement") among Pyxus and certain of its shareholders, including Glendon Capital Management L.P., on behalf of its managed funds and accounts, and Monarch Alternative Capital LP, as investment manager of Monarch Special Opportunities Master Fund Ltd, Monarch Debt Recovery Master Fund Ltd and Monarch Capital Master Partners IV LP, Holly Kim and Patrick Fallon were designated to serve as directors of Pyxus and each continues to serve as a director of Pyxus. Ms. Kim is a Partner at Glendon Capital Management L.P. and Mr. Fallon is a Managing Principal at Monarch Alternative Capital LP.

The DDTL Facility Credit Agreement, any and all borrowings thereunder and the guaranty transactions described above were approved, and determined to be on terms and conditions at least as favorable to the Company and its subsidiaries as could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unaffiliated party, by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Pyxus.

See "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

On June 2, 2022, we entered into an agreement with the DDTL Facility Lenders and the DDTL Agent, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, to amend and restate the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement to, among other things, replace the DDTL Facility with a $100.0 million term loan facility maturing on December 2, 2023. See "Note 30. Subsequent Events" for additional information.

African Lines of Credit

On August 12, 2021, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, including the Company’s subsidiaries in Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia (the "African Subsidiary Borrowers"), entered into the Third Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the "Restated TDB Agreement") with Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank ("TDB"). The Restated TDB Agreement sets forth the terms that govern the foreign seasonal lines of credit of each of the African Subsidiary Borrowers with TDB in effect. The Restated TDB Agreement provides for a lending commitment with respect to the line of credit of the Company’s Malawi subsidiary of $80.0 million, a lending commitment with respect to the line of credit of the Company’s Tanzania subsidiary of $85.0 million, and a lending commitment with respect to the line of credit of the Company’s Zambia subsidiary of $40.0 million, in each case with current borrowing availability reduced by the amount of outstanding loans borrowed under the respective existing line of credit with TDB. Loans under the Restated TDB Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 6%. The Restated TDB Agreement terminates on June 30, 2024, unless terminated sooner at TDB’s discretion on June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2023. The terms of the Restated TDB Agreement may also be modified at TDB’s discretion on those dates. Borrowings under the Restated TDB Agreement are due upon the termination of the Restated TDB Agreement.

Pursuant to the Restated TDB Agreement, each of the Company and its subsidiaries, Pyxus Parent, Inc., and Pyxus Holdings, guarantee the obligations of the African Subsidiary Borrowers under the Restated TDB Agreement. In addition, the Restated TDB Agreement provides that obligations of each African Subsidiary Borrower under the Restated TDB Agreement are secured by a first priority pledge of:

•tobacco purchased by that African Subsidiary Borrower that is financed by TDB;

•intercompany receivables arising from the sale of the tobacco financed by TDB;

•customer receivables arising from the sale of the tobacco financed by TDB; and

•such African Subsidiary Borrower's local collection account receiving customer payments for purchases of tobacco financed by TDB.

The Restated TDB Agreement also requires Alliance One International, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, to pledge customer receivables arising from the sale of the tobacco financed by TDB and pledge its collection accounts designated for receiving customer payments for purchases of tobacco financed by TDB.

At March 31, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries party to the Restated TDB Agreement were in compliance with all such covenants under the Restated TDB Agreement and $133.4 million was available for borrowing under the Restated TDB Agreement, after reducing availability by the aggregate borrowings under the Restated TDB Agreement of $71.6 million outstanding on that date.

See "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Short-Term Seasonal Lines of Credit

Excluding its long-term credit arrangements, the Company has typically financed 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 to 270 days corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. Other than described below, these facilities are typically uncommitted in that the lenders have the right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans at any time. These loans are typically renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. At March 31, 2022, the aggregate outstanding borrowings of the Company under these seasonal credit lines was approximately $372.6 million and approximately $287.2 million was available for borrowing under these seasonal credit lines, subject to limitations as provided for in the ABL Credit Agreement. The weighted average variable interest rate for these seasonal lines of credit for the year ended March 31, 2022 was 6.1%. Certain of the foreign seasonal lines of credit, with aggregate outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2022 of approximately $109.4 million, are secured by trade receivables and inventories as collateral.

Seasonal liquidity beyond cash flow from operations is provided by our foreign seasonal lines of credit, advances from customers, and sales of accounts receivable. For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our average short-term borrowings, aggregated peak short-term borrowings outstanding, and weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings were as follows:



(in millions)	March 31, 2022			March 31, 2021
Average short-term borrowings(1)	$	393.1		$	461.8
Aggregated peak short-term borrowings outstanding(1)	$	559.4		$	818.9
Weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings	6.1		%	6.1		%
(1) The Company utilized borrowings under the DDTL Facility during the year ended March 31, 2022 to fund a portion of its tobacco purchasing commitments.

Aggregated peak borrowings for the year ended March 31, 2022 occurred during the fourth quarter and were due to the timing of purchases of tobacco and repayments in Africa and South America. Peak borrowings during the prior year and in the current year were repaid with cash provided by operating activities. For further information on our debt financing as of March 31, 2022, see "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Our borrowing capacity and available liquidity under our lines and letters of credit included the following:


	March 31, 2022
(in millions)	Borrowing Capacity		Lines and Letters Available
Senior Secured Credit Facilities:
ABL Credit Facility	$	100.0	$	10.0
Foreign seasonal lines of credit	659.7		287.2
Other long-term debt	0.7		0.4
Letters of credit	13.5		4.5
Total	$	773.9	$	302.1

Net Debt

We refer to "Net debt", a non-GAAP measure, as total debt liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to monitor leverage and to evaluate changes to the Company's capital structure. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and cash equivalents, and therefore, may imply that management intends to use cash and cash equivalents to reduce outstanding debt and that cash held in certain jurisdictions can be applied to repay obligations owing in other jurisdictions and without reduction for applicable taxes. In addition, net debt suggests that our debt obligations are less than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates.


(in millions)	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Notes payable to banks	$	378.6	$	372.2
Current portion of long-term debt(1)	107.9		2.1
Long-term debt(2)	580.5		551.2
Total debt liabilities	$	1,067.0	$	925.5
Less: Cash and cash equivalents(1)	198.8		92.7
Net debt	$	868.2	$	832.8
(1) The increases in the current portion of long-term debt and cash and cash equivalents are driven by the DDTL Facility, which was implemented in during the year ended March 31, 2022.
(2) The increase in long-term debt is primarily due to the implementation of a new ABL Credit Facility in during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Working Capital

The following summarizes our working capital:


					Change
(in millions except for current ratio)	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021		$	%
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	200.9	$	97.3	103.6	106.5
Trade and other receivables, net	260.2		203.8		56.4	27.7

Current ratio	1.6 to 1		1.9 to 1
Working capital	$	513.2	$	520.8	(7.6)	(1.5)
*Amounts may not equal column totals due to rounding

The decrease in working capital and the current ratio between the periods was due to the increase in current liabilities outpacing the increase in current assets, which was driven by the following changes in account balances:

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $103.6 million, or 106.5%, to $200.9 million as of March 31, 2022 from $97.3 million as of March 31, 2021 due to higher net proceeds from short-term borrowings and higher collections of beneficial interests on securitized trade receivables.

Trade and other receivables, net increased $56.4 million, or 27.7%, to $260.2 million as of March 31, 2022 from $203.8 million as of March 31, 2021 due primarily from the increase in sales.

Inventories and advances to tobacco suppliers, net increased $26.9 million, or 3.5%, to $798.4 million as of March 31, 2022 from $771.5 million as of March 31, 2021. This increase was mainly due to higher green tobacco prices in South America. These increases were partially offset by the restructuring of certain African operations in the prior year where the Company no longer operates.

Advances from customers increased $40.9 million, or 338.0%, to $53.0 million as of March 31, 2022 from $12.1 million as of March 31, 2021 due to increased prepayments from certain customers for inventory purchases to be made next year.

Current portion of long-term debt increased $105.8 million, or 5,038.1%, to $107.9 million as of March 31, 2022 from $2.1 million as of March 31, 2021 due to the reclassification of the DDTL facility from long-term debt to current portion of long-term debt during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Inventories

The following summarizes inventory committed to a customer and uncommitted inventory balances for processed tobacco:


	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Committed	$	471.9	$	437.0
Uncommitted	$	45.7	$	97.7
Total processed tobacco	$	517.6	$	534.7

See "Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and "Note 11. Inventories" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We have typically financed our non-U.S. tobacco operations with uncommitted short-term foreign seasonal lines of credit. These foreign lines of credit are generally seasonal in nature, normally extending for a term of 180 to 270 days, corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that market. These short-term foreign seasonal lines of credit are typically uncommitted and provide lenders the right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans. These short-term foreign seasonal lines of credit are typically renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. We maintain various other financing arrangements to meet the cash requirements of our businesses. See "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

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.

As of March 31, 2022 our cash and cash equivalents was $198.8 million, of which $69.7 million was held in foreign jurisdictions and subject to exchange controls and tax consequences that could limit our ability to fully repatriate these funds. Fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus many of the currencies in which we incur costs may have an impact on our working capital requirements. We will continue to monitor and hedge foreign currency costs, as needed.

The following summarizes our sources and uses of our cash flows:


	Successor				Predecessor		Combined (Non-GAAP)
(in millions)	Year Ended March 31, 2022		Seven months ended March 31, 2021		Five months ended August 31, 2020		Year Ended March 31, 2021
Operating activities	$	(198.8)	$	(44.5)	$	(182.1)	$	(226.6)
Investing activities	181.2		71.8		61.7		133.5
Financing activities	123.3		(49.3)		63.7		14.4
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(2.1)		1.7		1.6		3.3
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash*	$	103.6	$	(20.3)	$	(55.1)	$	(75.4)
*Amounts may not equal column totals due to rounding.

Net cash used by operating activities decreased for the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to the combined seven months ended March 31, 2021 and the five months ended August 31, 2020 primarily due to lower net loss from not incurring

reorganization expenses in the year ended March 31, 2022 for the Chapter 11 Cases. This decrease was partially offset by higher receivables outstanding in the current period due to increased sales.

Net cash provided by investing activities increased for the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to the combined seven months ended March 31, 2021 and the five months ended August 31, 2020 primarily due to higher collections of beneficial interests on securitized trade receivables driven by increased sales over the same period and lower capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased for the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to the combined seven months ended March 31, 2021 and the five months ended August 31, 2020 primarily due to higher net proceeds from short term borrowings and net proceeds from the DDTL. These increases were partially offset by proceeds from the debtor-in-possession financing facility ("DIP facility") in place during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases in the prior year that did not recur in the current year.

Planned Capital Expenditures

We are estimating $21.3 million in capital investments for fiscal 2023 for routine replacement of equipment, as well as investments in assets that will add value to the customer or increase efficiency.

Securitized Receivables

We sell accounts receivable under three revolving trade accounts receivable securitization programs. Under the first and second programs, we receive a discount from the face value of the receivable sold, less contractual dilutions which limit the amount that may be outstanding from any one particular customer and insurance reserves that also have the effect of limiting the risk attributable to any one customer. Our beneficial interests in the first and second facilities is subordinate to the purchaser of the receivables. Under the third program, we receive an amount equal to the face value of the receivable sold, less a discount rate tied to a benchmark rate, which varies based on the invoice currency. See "Note 20. Securitized Receivables" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following summarizes our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments as of March 31, 2022:


			Payments / Expirations by Fiscal Year
(in millions)	Total		2023		Years 2024-2025		Years 2026-2027		After 2027

Total Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments	$	1,989.2	$	1,201.6	$	703.0	$	27.7	$	56.9
(1) Short-term debt obligations consist of the current portion of long-term debt and our seasonal foreign credit lines.
(2) Interest obligations includes interest for long-term debt, including the DDTL Loans and indebtedness under the ABL Credit Facility. The projected interest includes both fixed and variable rate debt. The variable rate used in the projections is the rate that was being charged on our variable rate debt as of March 31, 2022.

Tobacco and Other Purchase Obligations

Tobacco purchase obligations result from contracts with suppliers, primarily in Africa, Europe, North America, and South America, to buy either specified quantities of tobacco or the supplier’s total tobacco production. Amounts shown as tobacco purchase obligations are estimates based on projected purchase prices of the future crop tobacco. Payment of these obligations is net of our advances to these suppliers. Our tobacco purchase obligations do not exceed our projected requirements over the related terms and are in the normal course of business. Other purchase obligations consist primarily of purchase commitments of agricultural material. Tobacco and other purchase obligations increased $104.4 million, or 25.4%, from $411.1 million to $515.5 million primarily due to increased customer demand.

Amounts Guaranteed for Tobacco Suppliers

In Africa and South America, we provide guarantees to ensure financing is available to our tobacco suppliers. In the event these suppliers should default, we would be responsible for repayment of the funds provided to these suppliers. We also provide

guarantees for the financing of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in Asia and South America. See "Note 21. Guarantees" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Tax and Repatriation Matters

We are subject to income tax laws in each of the countries in which we do business through wholly owned subsidiaries and through affiliates. We regularly review of the income tax requirements of each of our operations, file appropriate returns, and make appropriate income tax planning analyses directed toward the minimization of our income tax obligations in these countries. Appropriate income tax provisions are determined on an individual subsidiary level and at the corporate level on both an interim and annual basis. These processes are followed using an appropriate combination of internal staff at both the subsidiary and corporate levels as well as independent outside advisors in review of the various tax laws and in compliance reporting for the various operations. We regularly review the status of the accumulated unremitted earnings of each of our foreign subsidiaries. We would provide deferred income taxes, net of creditable foreign taxes, if applicable, on earnings that are determined to no longer be indefinitely invested. See "Note 9. Income Taxes" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that have an impact on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management considers an accounting estimate critical if it: (i) requires us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, (ii) it is important to an understanding of our financial condition or operating results, and (iii) has a material impact to the financial statements.

We base our estimates on currently available information, historical experience, and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management has discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Management believes the following accounting estimates are most critical to our business operations and to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations and reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Application of Fresh Start Reporting

We applied FASB ASC 852 in preparing the consolidated financial statements. For periods subsequent to the Chapter 11 filing and before emergence, ASC 852 requires distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business. Upon the effectiveness of the Plan and the emergence of the Debtors from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company determined it qualified for fresh start reporting under ASC 852, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes on the Effective Date. We elected to apply fresh start reporting using a convenience date of August 31, 2020. We evaluated and concluded that the events between August 24, 2020 and August 31, 2020 were not material to our financial reporting on both a quantitative or qualitative basis.

In accordance with ASC 852 and the application of fresh start reporting, we allocated our reorganization value to our individual assets based on our estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Deferred income tax amounts were determined in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company's assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill.

The Effective Date fair values of the Successor assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected in the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor and required the use of a number of judgments, assumptions, and estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in these judgments, assumptions, and estimates could have a material effect on our allocation of reorganization value to our individual assets. Among the most material judgments, assumptions, and estimates utilized was our determination of reorganization value. The reorganization value was derived from, and falls within the court approved range of, enterprise values associated with the Plan. The enterprise values were based on management projections and the valuation models as determined by the Plan of Reorganization.

We determined the enterprise and corresponding equity value of the Successor using various valuation approaches and methods, including: (i) the income approach using a calculation of the present value of future cash flows based on our financial projections, (ii) the market approach using selling prices of similar business/assets and (iii) the cost approach, using estimated costs to replace or rebuild our assets. We primarily utilized the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method of the income approach, utilizing detailed revenue and expense projections that reflected the financial and operational facts and circumstances specific to the business. Our future cash flows were projected based on estimates of future revenues, gross margins, operating income, capital expenditures, and other cash flow factors, including income taxes and net working capital requirements. We utilized estimated revenue growth rates and cash flow projections. The discount rates utilized in the DCF method were based on a

weighted-average cost of capital determined from relevant market comparisons and adjusted for specific risk premiums, country risk premiums, and capital structure. A terminal value estimated growth rate was applied to the final year of the projected period and reflected our estimate of perpetual growth. We then calculated a present value of the respective cash flows and adjusted for the value of other aspects not reflected in the projections, such as excess net working capital, the value of non-consolidated investments, and non-operating assets and liabilities to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach. We then reconciled the estimated fair value to the court approved range of enterprise values associated with the Plan. See "Note 4. Fresh Start Reporting" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Income Taxes

Our annual effective income tax rate is based on our jurisdictional mix of pretax income, statutory tax rates, exchange rates, and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax laws are complex, subject to change, and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions including evaluating uncertainties under ASC 740. We record unrecognized tax benefits in multiple jurisdictions and evaluate the future potential outcomes of tax positions, based upon our interpretation of the country-specific tax law, and the likelihood of future settlement. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available.

Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions by assessing the impact from changes in or issuance of new tax law and the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely on estimates. To provide insight, we use our historical experience along with our short and long-range business forecasts. In addition, we make adjustments to historical data for objectively verifiable information where appropriate.

We believe it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax assets may expire as unused and have established a valuation allowance against them. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred income tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not such remaining deferred tax assets will be fully recoverable within the applicable statutory expiration periods. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or available tax planning strategies are no longer viable. See "Note 9. Income Taxes" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Pensions and Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits

The valuation of our pension and other postretirement health care and life insurance plans requires the use of assumptions and estimates that are used to develop actuarial valuations of expenses, assets and liabilities. These assumptions include discount rates, investment returns, projected salary increases, benefits, and mortality rates. The significant assumptions used in the calculation of pension and postretirement obligations are:

•Discount rate: The discount rate is based on investment yields available at the measurement date on high-quality fixed income obligations, such as those included in the Moody’s Aa bond index.

•Salary increase assumption: The salary increase assumption reflects our expectations with respect to long-term salary increases of our workforce. Historical pay increases, expectations for the future, and anticipated inflation and promotion rates are considered in developing this assumption.

•Cash balance crediting rate: Interest is credited on cash balance accounts based on the yield on one-year Treasury Constant Maturities plus 1%. The assumed crediting rate thus considers the discount rate, current treasury rates, current inflation rates, and expectations for the future.

•Mortality rates: Mortality rates are based on gender-distinct group annuity mortality tables.

•Expected return on plan assets: The expected return reflects asset allocations, investment strategy, and our historical actual returns.

•Termination and retirement rates: Termination and retirement rates are based on standard tables reflecting past experience and anticipated future experience under the plan. No early retirement rates are used since benefits provided are actuarially equivalent and there are not early retirement subsidies in the plan.

•Inflation: The inflation assumption is based on an evaluation of external market indicators, including real gross domestic product growth and central bank inflation targets.

•Expected contributions: The expected amount and timing of contributions are based on an assessment of minimum requirements, cash availability, and other considerations (e.g., funded status, avoidance of regulatory premiums, and levies, and tax efficiency).

•Health care cost trends: The health care cost trend assumptions are developed based on historical cost data, the near-term outlook, and an assessment of likely long-term trends.

Assumptions are set at each year end and are generally not changed during the year unless there is a major plan event such as a curtailment or settlement that would trigger a plan remeasurement.

Management periodically reviews actual demographic experience as it compares to the actuarial assumptions. Changes in assumptions are made if there are significant deviations or if future expectations change significantly. Based upon anticipated changes in assumptions, pension and postretirement expense is expected to increase by $1.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2023 as compared to March 31, 2022. The cash contribution to our employee benefit plans during the year ended March 31, 2022 was $5.6 million and is expected to be $4.6 million in fiscal 2023.

The effect of actual results differing from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods. Changes in other assumptions and future investment returns could potentially have a material impact on our pension and postretirement expenses and related funding requirements. The effect of a change in certain assumptions is shown below:


(in thousands)	Estimated Change in Projected Benefit Obligation Increase (Decrease)		Estimated Change in Annual Expense Increase (Decrease)
Change in Assumption (Pension and Postretirement Plans)
1% increase in discount rate	$	(12,365)	$	269
1% decrease in discount rate	$	14,123	$	(572)

1% increase in salary increase assumption	$	166	$	40
1% decrease in salary increase assumption	$	(155)	$	(37)

1% increase in cash balance crediting rate	$	650	$	25
1% decrease in cash balance crediting rate	$	(588)	$	(25)

1% increase in rate of return on assets			$	(850)
1% decrease in rate of return on assets			$	850

Changes in assumptions for other postretirement benefits are no longer applicable as the benefit is capped and no longer subject to inflation. See "Note 24. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits" to the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivatives policies

Hedging foreign exchange exposure using forward contracts are specifically contemplated to manage risk in accordance with management's policies and reduce the risks inherent in currency fluctuations. We do not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes or enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives are transaction specific such that a specific contract or invoice determines the amount, maturity, and other specifics of the hedge.

Foreign exchange rates

Our business is generally conducted in USD, as is the business of the tobacco industry as a whole. However, local country operating costs, including the purchasing and processing costs for tobaccos, are subject to the effects of exchange fluctuations of the local currency against the USD. We attempt to minimize such currency risks by matching the timing of our working capital borrowing needs against the tobacco purchasing and processing funds requirements in the currency of the country where the tobacco is grown. Also, in some cases, our sales pricing arrangements with our customers allow adjustments for the effect of currency exchange fluctuations on local purchasing and processing costs. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies can significantly affect our operating results. In our cost of goods and services sold, we have recognized exchange (losses) gains of $(2.7) million, $(1.8) million, $1.4 million, and $(4.7) million for the year ended March 31, 2022, the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the five months ended August 31, 2020, and the year ended March 31, 2020, respectively. We recognized exchange gains (losses) of $2.6 million, $(0.1) million, $(0.1) million, and $(1.2) million related to tax balances in our tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2022, the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the five months ended August 31, 2020, and the year ended March 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, foreign currency fluctuations in the Euro and (U.K.) Sterling can

significantly impact the currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We recognized (losses) gains of $(4.2) million, $(4.6) million, $4.4 million, and $(0.5) million for the year ended March 31, 2022, the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the five months ended August 31, 2020, and the year ended March 31, 2020, respectively, as a result of fluctuations in these currencies.

Our consolidated SG&A expenses denominated in foreign currencies are subject to translation risks from currency exchange fluctuations. These foreign denominated expenses accounted for approximately 23.8% or $33.8 million of our total SG&A expenses for the year ended March 31, 2022. A 10% change in the value of the USD relative to those currencies would have caused the reported value of those expenses to increase or decrease by approximately $3.4 million.

Interest rates

We manage our exposure to interest rate risk through the proportion of fixed rate and variable rate debt in our total debt portfolio. A 1% change in variable interest rates would have increased or decreased our reported interest cost for the year ended March 31, 2022 by approximately $8.1 million. A substantial portion of our borrowings are denominated in USD and bear interest at commonly quoted rates.

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Pyxus International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pyxus") is a global agricultural company with nearly 150 years of experience delivering value-added products and services to businesses and customers. The Company is a trusted provider of responsibly sourced, independently verified, sustainable, and traceable products and ingredients. As the context requires, the "Company" and "Pyxus" also includes the consolidated subsidiaries of Pyxus International, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to annual reporting on Form 10-K.

The Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852") in preparing the consolidated financial statements. For periods subsequent to the filing of a bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, ASC 852 requires distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business. Upon the effectiveness of the Plan and the emergence of the Debtors from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company determined it qualified for fresh start reporting under ASC 852, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes on the Effective Date (as each capitalized term is defined below). The Company elected to apply fresh start reporting using a convenience date of August 31, 2020 (the "Fresh Start Reporting Date"). The Company evaluated and concluded that the events between August 24, 2020 and August 31, 2020 were not material to the Company's financial reporting on both a quantitative or qualitative basis. See "Note 4. Fresh Start Reporting" for additional information.

Due to the application of fresh start reporting, the pre-emergence and post-emergence periods are not comparable. The lack of comparability is emphasized by the use of a "black line" to separate the Predecessor and Successor periods in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables. References to "Successor" relate to our financial position and results of operations after August 31, 2020. References to "Predecessor" relate to our financial position and results of operations on or before August 31, 2020.

Bankruptcy Proceedings

On June 15, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Old Holdco, Inc. (then named Pyxus International, Inc.) ("Old Pyxus") and its then subsidiaries Alliance One International, LLC, Alliance One North America, LLC, Alliance One Specialty Products, LLC, and GSP Properties, LLC (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") to implement a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization to effectuate a financial restructuring (the "Restructuring") of Old Pyxus’ secured debt. On August 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") filed by the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. On August 24, 2020 (the "Effective Date"), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms, and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness as set forth in the Confirmation Order and the Plan, Old Pyxus completed a series of transactions pursuant to which the business assets and operations of Old Pyxus were vested in a new Virginia corporation, Pyxus Holdings, Inc., which is a subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Confirmation Order and the Plan, at the effectiveness of the plan all outstanding shares of common stock, and rights to acquire the common stock, of Old Pyxus were cancelled and the shares of common stock of the Company were delivered to certain creditors of Old Pyxus. See "Note 3. Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11" for additional information.

CCAA Proceeding

on January 28, 2022. Pursuant to the CCAA Proceeding, the Company received funds in settlement of its debt claims with respect to the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and did not receive any recovery with respect to its equity interest in the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries. See "Note 30. Subsequent Events" for additional information.

Deconsolidation

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation ("ASC 810"), a parent company must deconsolidate a subsidiary as of the date the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in that subsidiary, or if the parent no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the subsidiary’s economic performance. As a result of the CCAA Proceeding and the appointment of the Monitor, the Company lost control of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and they were deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements as of the Order Date. See "Note 5. CCAA Proceeding and Deconsolidation of Subsidiaries" for additional information.

Related Party Relationship

The commencement of the CCAA Proceeding and the subsequent deconsolidation results in transactions with the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries no longer being eliminated in consolidation. As such, transactions between the Company and the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries are treated as related party transactions. See "Note 2 8 . Related Party Transactions" for transactions between the Company and the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries from January 21, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

Discontinued Operations

The Company determined the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries do not meet the qualifications as outlined under ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations ("ASC 205-20") to be reported as discontinued operations. The Company reached this conclusion as the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries do not represent, individually or in the aggregate, a 'strategic shift' that has a major effect on the consolidated operations and financial results of the Company.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Equity Method Investments

The Company’s equity method investments and its cost method investments are non-marketable securities. When not required to consolidate its investment in another entity, the Company uses the equity method if it (i) can exercise significant influence over the other entity, and (ii) holds common stock and/or in-substance common stock of the other entity. Under the equity method, investments are carried at cost, plus or minus the Company’s equity in the increases or decreases of the investee’s net assets after the date of acquisition. The Company continually monitors its equity method investments for factors indicating other-than-temporary impairment. The Company's proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities is included in income from unconsolidated affiliates, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Distributions from equity method investees are accounted for based on the cumulative earnings approach to determine whether they represent a return of investment, or a return on investment.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds variable interests in multiple variable interest entities, which primarily procure or process inventory on behalf of the Company or are securitization entities. These variable interests relate to equity investments, receivables, guarantees, and securitized receivables. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the majority of these entities 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 Criticality, a consolidated entity for which the related intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Creditors of the Company’s variable interest entities do not have recourse against the general credit of the Company.

The Company's investments in unconsolidated variable interest entities are classified as investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's receivables with variable interest entities are classified as long-term notes receivable, related parties and accounts receivable, related parties. See "Note 28. Related Party Transactions" for additional information. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in these variable interest entities is represented by the investments, receivables, guarantees, and the deferred purchase price on the sale of securitized receivables.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from the Company's estimates and assumptions. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, determining the entity's enterprise value upon emergence from the

Chapter 11 Cases, revenue recognition, pension and postretirement health care benefits, inventory reserves, accounts receivable reserves, bank loan guarantees to suppliers and unconsolidated subsidiaries, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, deferred tax assets and uncertain income tax positions, intrastate tax credits in Brazil, fair value determinations of financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, securitized beneficial interests, and counterparty risk.

Reclassifications

Interest expense and interest income amounts reported in prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current year's net presentation of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Cash paid for interest and cash received from interest as reported under other information in the consolidated statements of cash flows were reclassified to conform to the current year's net presentation of cash paid for interest.

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in other (expense) income, net summary. See "Note 7. Other (Expense) Income, N et" for additional information.

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in the reconciliation between income tax expense based on income before income taxes, equity in net income of investee companies, and minority interests and the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to income. See "Note 9. Income Taxes" for additional information.

Certain prior period amounts relating to balances with related parties were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in the consolidated balance sheets. See "Note 28. Related Party Transactions" for additional information.

Segment Information

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had nine operating segments that were organized by product category and geographic area and were aggregated into three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services. During the year ended March 31,2022, the Company reevaluated its operating and reportable segments under ASC Topic 280 - Segment Reporting in response to the effectiveness of the Plan in August 2020, the appointment of a new Board of Directors during the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the outcomes achieved from cost savings and restructuring initiatives implemented during the five months ended August 31, 2020 and the seven months ended March 31, 2021, the Company's exit from its industrial hemp, CBD, and Canadian cannabis businesses during the seven months ended March 31, 2021, and changes to business operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this reevaluation, effective during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company has eight operating segments organized by geographic area and product category and are aggregated into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Leaf. Based on our reevaluation, the Company concluded that the economic characteristics of our five Leaf region operations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa were similar. Each geographic region derives its revenues mainly from shipping processed tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products around the world, with a smaller percentage of revenue in each region being derived from performing third party tobacco processing services. The three product category operating segments other than Leaf do not individually or in the aggregate meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds to be individually reportable and have been combined and reported in the "All Other" category for purposes of reconciliation of respective balances for the Leaf segment to the consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts included in "Note 2 9 . Segment Information" have been recast retrospectively to reflect the changes in reportable segments. The one Leaf reportable segment is consistent with information used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance, make operating decisions, and allocate resources. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its one segment based upon information included in management reports. Corporate general expenses are allocated to the segments based upon segment selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue consists primarily of the sale of processed tobacco and fees charged for processing and related services to the manufacturers of tobacco products. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when the transfer of control of the distinct product or service to the customer occurs. For products, control is transferred and revenue is recognized at a point in time, in accordance with the shipping terms of the contract. For services, control is transferred and revenue is recognized over time using the input method based on a kilogram of packed tobacco. A kilogram of processed tobacco (or tobacco processing services resulting in a kilogram of processed tobacco) is the only material and distinct performance obligation for the Company’s tobacco revenue streams. Consideration is attributed to the performance of this obligation. The Company does not disclose information related to its unsatisfied performance obligations with an expected duration of one year or less. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Contract costs primarily include labor, material, shipping and handling, and overhead expenses.

Contract Balances

The Company generally records a receivable when revenue is recognized as the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment from customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. The Company's trade receivables do not bear interest, and they are recorded at the invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for expected credit losses. In addition to estimating an allowance based on specific identification of certain receivables that have a higher probability of not being paid, the Company also records an estimate for expected credit losses for the remaining receivables in the aggregate using a loss-rate method that considers historical bad debts, age of customer receivable balances, and current customer receivable balances. Additionally, the Company considers future reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions to adjust historical loss rate percentages, as necessary. Balances are written-off when determined to be uncollectible. The provision for expected credit losses is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Significant Judgments

The Company identified two main forms of variable consideration in its contracts with customers: warehousing fees for storing customer-controlled tobacco until the customer requests shipment and claims resulting from tobacco that does not meet customer specifications. Warehousing fees are either included in the price of tobacco based on the customers' best estimate of the date they will request shipment or separately charged using a per-day storage rate. When the Company enters into a contract with a customer, the price communicated is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive. Price adjustments for tobacco not meeting customer specifications for shrinkage, improper blend, or chemical makeup, etc. are handled through a claims allowance that is assessed quarterly. Since the Company has a large number of customer contracts with similar characteristics, the volume of tobacco sold each year is substantial, and the Company has historical data related to claims, the Company is able to estimate the amount of expected claims using the expected value method.

Taxes Collected from Customers

Certain subsidiaries are subject to value-added taxes on local sales. Value-added taxes on local sales are recorded in sales and other operating revenues and cost of goods and services sold in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and Handling

The Company elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill its performance obligations, regardless of when control transfers. Shipping and handling fees that are billed to customers are recognized in sales and other operating revenues and the associated shipping and handling costs are recognized in cost of goods and services sold in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

The Company’s annual tax rate is based on its income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company reviews its tax positions quarterly and adjusts the balances as new information becomes available.

Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these future tax deductions by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings, and available tax planning strategies. As these sources of income inherently rely on estimates, the Company uses historical experience and short and long-range business forecasts to provide insight.

The Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax assets may expire as unused and has established a valuation allowance against them. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred income tax assets, the Company believes it is more likely than not such remaining deferred tax assets will be fully recoverable within the applicable statutory expiration periods. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or available tax planning strategies are no longer viable.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Inventories, Net

Costs in inventory include processed tobacco inventory, unprocessed tobacco inventory, and other inventory. Costs of unprocessed tobacco inventories are determined by the average cost method, which include the cost of green tobacco. Costs of processed tobacco inventories are determined by the average cost method, which include both the cost of unprocessed tobacco, as well as direct and indirect costs related to processing the product. Costs of other inventory are determined by the first-in, first-out method, which include costs of packing materials, non-tobacco agricultural products, and agricultural supplies including seed, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides.

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value ("LCM"). The Company evaluates its inventories for LCM adjustments by country and type of inventory. Processed tobacco and unprocessed tobacco are evaluated separately for LCM purposes. The Company compares the cost of its processed tobacco to net realizable value based on the estimated selling price of similar grades when evaluating those balances for LCM adjustments. The Company also considers whether its processed tobacco is committed to a customer, whereby the expected sales price is utilized in determining the net realizable value for committed tobacco. In addition, the Company writes-down inventory balances for estimates of obsolescence. LCM and obsolescence inventory write-downs are recorded in cost of goods and services sold within the consolidated statements of operations.

Advances to Tobacco Suppliers, Net

The Company purchases seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, and other products related to growing tobacco and advances them to tobacco suppliers to assist in crop production. These seasonal advances are short term, represent prepaid inventory, and are recorded as advances to tobacco suppliers. Upon delivery of tobacco, part of the purchase price to the supplier is paid in cash and part through a reduction of the advance balance. The advances applied to the delivery are reclassified from advances to unprocessed inventory.

The Company also has noncurrent advances, which generally represent the cost of advances to tobacco suppliers for infrastructure, such as curing barns, recovered through the delivery of tobacco to the Company by the tobacco suppliers. Tobacco suppliers may not be able to settle the entire amount of advances due in a given year. In these situations, the Company may allow the farmers to deliver tobacco over future crop years to recover its advances. Noncurrent advances to tobacco suppliers are recorded in other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company accounts for its advances to tobacco suppliers using a cost accumulation model, which reports advances at the lower of cost or recoverable amounts exclusive of the mark-up and interest. The mark-up and interest on its advances are recognized upon delivery of tobacco as a decrease in the cost of the current crop. Unrecovered advances are recorded in cost of goods and services sold in the consolidated statements of operations for abnormal yield adjustments or unrecovered advances from prior crops. Normal yield adjustments are capitalized into the cost of the current crop and are recorded in cost of goods and services sold as that crop is sold.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company recorded goodwill upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with ASC 852. Goodwill represents the excess of reorganization value over fair value of identified assets and liabilities allocated to each reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The components within the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into eight reporting units due to their similar economic characteristics. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company's annual goodwill impairment test performed for the year ended March 31, 2022 resulted in goodwill being fully impaired. See "Note 16. Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net" for additional information.

The Company utilizes a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company's qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is performed. Otherwise, the Company performs a quantitative assessment using the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method of the income approach. The future cash flows of the Company’s reporting units are projected based on estimates of future revenues, gross margins, operating income, excess net working capital, capital expenditures, and other factors. The Company utilizes estimated revenue growth rates and cash flow projections. The discount rates utilized in the DCF method are based on a weighted-average cost of capital determined from relevant market comparisons and adjusted for specific reporting unit risks, country risk premiums, and capital structure. A terminal value estimated growth rate is applied to the final year of the projected period and reflects the Company’s

estimate of perpetual growth. The Company then calculates a present value of the respective cash flows for each reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach.

The Company has intangible assets with definite useful lives. These intangible assets are assessed annually and tested for impairment whenever factors indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The trade name, customer relationship, and technology intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over fourteen, nine to twelve years, and eight years, respectively. The amortization period is the term of the contract or, if no term is specified in the contract, management’s best estimate of the useful life based on past experience. Technology includes internally developed software, which is amortized on a straight-line basis over three to five years once the software testing is complete. Events and changes in circumstance may either result in a revision in the estimated useful life or impairment of an intangible. Amortization expense associated with finite-lived intangible assets is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

The Company has operating leases for land, buildings, automobiles, and other equipment that expire at various dates through 2040. Leases for real estate generally have initial terms ranging from 2 to 15 years, excluding renewal options. Leases for equipment generally have initial terms ranging from 2 to 5 years excluding renewal options. Most leases have fixed rentals, with many of the real estate leases requiring additional payments for real estate taxes. These lease terms may include optional renewals, terminations or purchases, which are considered in the Company’s assessments when such options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

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, those lease contracts with durations of twelve months or less, in the consolidated balance sheets.

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.

Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net

Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over a range of nine to forty years. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over a range of two to nineteen years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of major improvements are capitalized. Upon sale or disposition of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties and may be estimated using a number of techniques, including quoted market prices or valuations, present value techniques based on estimates of cash flows, or multiples of earnings or revenue performance measures.

Guarantees

The Company's guarantees are primarily related to bank loans to suppliers for crop production financing. The Company guarantees bank loans of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in Asia and South America. Under longer-term arrangements, the Company may 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 fair value of the Company's guarantees are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and included in crop costs, except for the joint venture in Brazil, which are included in other receivables.

In Brazil, certain suppliers obtain government subsidized rural credit financing from local banks that is guaranteed by the Company. Upon delivery of tobacco, the Company remits payments to the local banks on behalf of the suppliers before paying the supplier. Amounts owed to suppliers are recorded in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets. Rural credit financing repayment is due to local banks based on contractual due dates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward or option currency contracts to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates on foreign operations. These contracts are for green tobacco purchases, processing costs, and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company does not hold derivatives contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings, unless the derivative is designated and qualifies to be in a hedge accounting relationship. For derivatives designated in a hedge accounting relationship, the Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a hedge relationship is no longer expected to be effective, the derivative in that relationship is de-designated and hedge accounting is discontinued.

Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivatives designated in cash flow hedging relationships are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets and reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. The Company has elected not to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

Retirement Benefits

The Company sponsors multiple benefit plans. The Company has a defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits for certain U.S. salaried personnel based on years of service rendered, age, and compensation. The Company also maintains various other excess benefit and supplemental plans that provide additional benefits to certain individuals in key positions and individuals whose compensation and the resulting benefits that would have actually been paid are limited by regulations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, a Supplemental Retirement Account Plan defined contribution plan is maintained. Additional non-U.S. plans sponsored by certain subsidiaries cover certain of the full-time employees located in Germany, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Benefits

The Company provides certain health and life insurance benefits to retired U.S. employees (and their eligible dependents) who meet specified age and service requirements. The plan excludes new employees after September 2005 and caps the Company’s annual cost commitment to postretirement benefits for retirees. The Company retains the right, subject to existing agreements, to modify or eliminate these postretirement health and life insurance benefits in the future. The Company provides certain health and life insurance benefits to retired Brazilian directors and certain retirees located in Europe including their eligible dependents who meet specified requirements.

Plan Assets

The Company's policy is to contribute amounts to the plans sufficient to meet or exceed funding requirements of local governmental rules and regulations. Funding of our qualified defined benefit pension plans is determined in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

The Company's investment objectives for plan assets are to generate consistent total investment return to pay anticipated plan benefits, while minimizing long-term costs and portfolio volatility. The financial objectives underlying this policy include maintaining plan contributions at a reasonable level relative to benefits provided and assuring unfunded obligations do not grow to a level that would adversely affect the Company's financial health. Portfolio performance is measured against investment objectives and objective benchmarks, including but not limited to: FTSE 90 Day Treasury Bill, Bloomberg Intermediate Govt/Credit, Bloomberg Aggregate, Russell 1000 Value, Russell 1000 Growth, Russell 2500 Value, Russell 2500 Growth, MSCI EAFE, HFR Absolute Return, and HFR Equity Hedge. The portfolio objective is to exceed the actuarial return on assets assumption. The Company is exploring partial risk transfer and or full plan terminations. As a result, investment strategies across the plans have been modified to reflect a shorter plan horizon and a secondary objective to minimize plan funding level volatility through partial or full liability driven investment strategies. Management and the plan's consultant regularly review portfolio allocations and periodically rebalance the portfolio to the targeted allocations according to the guidelines set forth in the Company's investment policy. Equity securities do not include the Company's common stock. The Company's diversification and risk control processes serve to minimize the concentration and experience of risk. There are no significant concentrations of risk, in terms of sector, industry, geography, or individual company or companies.

The Company’s plan assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, equity securities, fixed income securities, equity and fixed income funds, real estate investments, and diversified investments. Plan assets are measured at fair value annually on March 31, the measurement date. The following are descriptions, valuation methodologies, and inputs used to determine the fair value of each major category of plan assets:

•Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investment funds, primarily in diversified portfolios of investment grade money market instruments that are valued using quoted market prices or other valuation methods, and classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•Equity securities are investments in common stock of domestic and international corporations in a variety of industry sectors, and are valued primarily using quoted market prices and generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

•Fixed income securities include U.S. Treasuries and agencies, debt obligations of foreign governments, and debt obligations in corporations of domestic and foreign issuers. The fair value of fixed income securities is based on observable prices for identical or comparable assets, adjusted by benchmark curves, sector grouping, matrix pricing, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads, and are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

•Investments in equity and fixed income mutual funds are publicly traded and valued primarily using quoted market prices and generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in commingled funds used in certain non-U.S. pension plans are not publicly traded, but the underlying assets held in these funds are traded in active markets and the prices for these assets are readily observable. Holdings in these commingled funds are generally classified as Level 2 investments.

•Real estate investments include those in private limited partnerships that invest in various domestic and international commercial and residential real estate projects and publicly traded REIT securities. The fair values of private real estate assets are typically determined by using income and/or cost approaches or comparable sales approach, taking into consideration discount and capitalization rates, financial conditions, local market conditions, and the status of the capital markets, and are generally classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Publicly traded REIT securities are valued primarily using quoted market prices and are generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

•Diversified investments include those in limited partnerships that invest in non-publicly traded companies and mutual funds with an absolute return strategy. Their investment strategies include leveraged buyouts, venture capital, distressed investments, and investments in natural resources. These investments are valued using inputs such as trading multiples of comparable public securities, merger and acquisition activity and pricing data from the most recent equity financing taking into consideration illiquidity, and are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Mutual fund investments with absolute return strategies are publicly traded and valued using quoted market prices and are generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement

The Company translates assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies to USD using exchange rates in effect at period end, except for non-monetary balance sheet accounts, which are translated at historical exchange rates. The Company's results of operations and its cash flows are translated using average exchange rates for each reporting period. Resulting currency translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which the USD is the functional currency and which have certain transactions denominated in a local currency, are remeasured into USD. The remeasurement of local currencies into USD results in remeasurement adjustments that are included in net income. Exchange gains (losses) from remeasurement are recorded in cost of goods and services sold and other (expense) income, net within the consolidated statements of operations.

Securitized Receivables

The Company sold trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under multiple accounts receivable securitization facilities. Under the facilities, the receivables sold for cash are removed from the consolidated balance sheets. Under some of the facilities, a portion of the purchase price for the receivables is paid by the unaffiliated financial institutions in cash and the balance is a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid as payments on the receivables are collected from account debtors.

The net cash proceeds received by the Company in cash at the time of sale (cash purchase price) are included as cash used by operating activities in the statements of consolidated cash flows. The deferred purchase price receivable represents a continuing involvement and a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in trade and other receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets and are valued using unobservable inputs (i.e., Level three inputs), primarily discounted cash flow. The net cash proceeds received by the Company as deferred purchase price are included in net cash provided by investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, cash obtained as a beneficial interest for transferring trade receivables in a securitization transaction has been added as a noncash disclosure to the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these facilities and the sum of the cash and fair value of the other assets received at the time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in other

(expense) income, net in the statements of consolidated operations. Program costs are recorded in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, Old Pyxus’ shareholders approved the 2016 Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 12, 2016. The 2016 Plan is the successor to the 2007 Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"), which was amended on August 11, 2011 and August 6, 2009. The 2016 Plan is an omnibus plan that provided the Company the flexibility to grant a variety of stock-based awards including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and cash-settled awards to its officers, directors, and employees. The Company estimated forfeitures of stock-based awards using historical experience. Stock-based compensation expense was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Subsequent to the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") on November 18, 2020. The 2020 Plan provides the Company the flexibility to grant a variety of stock-based awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards, and incentive awards to its officers, directors, and employees. For stock-based awards without performance conditions, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. For stock-based awards with performance conditions, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period when the Company determines it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied. The Company estimates forfeitures of stock-based awards using historical experience. Stock-based compensation expense, if any, is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

2. New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes during interim periods when there are changes in tax laws or when year-to-date losses exceed anticipated losses, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences in foreign investments. This guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income, separate financial statements of legal entities not subject to tax, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a stepup in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance became effective for the Company on April 1, 2021. The adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This ASU created ASC Topic 832, Government Assistance, and requires certain information be disclosed regarding assistance received from a government entity when either a grant or contribution accounting model is applied. The new disclosures are required for annual periods for transactions with a government entity that are within the scope of the Topic. The new disclosure guidance will be adopted prospectively and is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2022. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its disclosures.

3. Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

Bankruptcy Proceedings

On June 15, 2020, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to implement a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization in order to effectuate a financial restructuring of the Debtors’ debt. On August 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, which approved and confirmed the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Pyxus International, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors.

Shareholders Agreement

On August 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement"), among the Company and the investors listed therein, each other beneficial owner of the Company's common stock as of the date of the Shareholder Agreement deemed to be a party thereto pursuant to the Plan and other persons that may from time to time become parties thereto (collectively, the "Investors"). The Shareholders Agreement provides that each of Glendon Capital Management LP (together with its affiliates, the "Glendon Investor") and Monarch Alternative Capital LP (together with its affiliates, the "Monarch Investor") shall be entitled to nominate two individuals to serve on the seven-member Board of Directors of the Company so long as it beneficially owns at least 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, or one individual to serve as such a director if it beneficially owns fewer than 20% of the outstanding shares but at least 10% of the outstanding shares. The Shareholders Agreement provides that the Investors shall take all necessary action to elect such nominees of each of the Glendon Investor and the Monarch Investor as directors, as well as the election of the chief executive officer of the Company as a director and other individuals qualifying as independent directors to be selected by Investors that beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, as determined by a majority of the shares of the Company's common stock beneficially owned by such Investors. The Shareholders Agreement provides that the chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Company is to be elected by a majority of the directors that had been nominated by the Glendon Investor (the "Glendon Directors") and those that had been nominated by the Monarch Investor (the "Monarch Directors"), with the chairperson of such Board to be elected by the Board of Directors of the Company if the Glendon Directors and Monarch Directors are together fewer than three in number or fail to appoint a chairperson. The Shareholders Agreement also includes provisions for the removal and replacement of the Glendon Directors at the request of the Glendon Investor and the removal and replacement of the Monarch Directors at the request of the Monarch Director, as well as provisions with respect to the calling and quorum of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company, membership of committees of the Board of Directors of the Company, and compensation and insurance of members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Shareholders Agreement also provides for tag-along rights for Investors beneficially owning 1% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock (the "1% Investors") upon the transfer by an Investor or group of Investors of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, drag-along rights upon the transfer of shares by an Investor or group of Investors of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, rights of first offer with respect to the transfer by an Investor, subject to certain exceptions, of 1% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock, pre-emptive rights to the 1% Investors upon issuance of new securities by the Company, and demand and piggyback registration rights.

The Shareholders Agreement includes the agreement of the Investors not to transfer shares of common stock of the Company (i) in violation of federal and state securities laws, (ii) in a transfer that would cause the Company to be regarded as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) in a transfer, at any time that the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that would cause the number of holders of the Company's common stock to exceed specified thresholds, or (iv) in a transfer that is, to the knowledge of the transferor after reasonable inquiry, (A) to any specified competitor of the Company (B) or to a person that would become either a beneficial owner of 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company or a "5-percent shareholder" within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, a "5% Holder"). The Shareholders Agreement provides that the Board of Directors may waive these restrictions, provided that any waiver of the restriction with respect to a person that would become a 5% Holder upon such transfer may be waived only if the transferee enters into a joinder agreeing to be bound by the Shareholders Agreement.

4. Fresh Start Reporting

In connection with the emergence from Chapter 11 Cases, the Company qualified for fresh start reporting as (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the preliminary reorganization value of the Company's assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. In accordance with ASC 852, with the application of fresh start reporting, the Company allocated the preliminary reorganization value to its individual assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The Effective Date estimated fair values of certain of the Company's assets and liabilities differed materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheets.

Reorganization Value

The reorganization value represents the fair value of the Company’s total assets before considering liabilities and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the Company’s assets immediately after restructuring. The reorganization value was derived from the enterprise value, which represents the estimated fair value of an entity’s long-term debt and equity. As set forth in the Plan, the enterprise value (excluding cash) of the Company was estimated to be in the range of $1,251,000 to $1,524,000 with a midpoint of $1,388,000. The Company estimated its enterprise value to be $1,252,379, which is near the low point of the range. The Company believes utilizing an estimated enterprise value near the low point of the range is appropriate due to the identification of Level 1 trading activity that indicated the estimated enterprise value was near the low point of the range, the Company's performance lagging behind plan (due in part to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic), and the utilization of an increased discount rate for the All Other long-term projections.

The estimated enterprise value is not necessarily indicative of actual value or financial results. Changes in the economy or the financial markets could result in a different estimated enterprise value. The calculated enterprise value relies on the three methodologies listed below collectively. The actual value of the business is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict and will fluctuate with changes in various factors affecting the financial conditions and prospects of the business.

The following reconciles the estimated enterprise value to the estimated fair value of the Successor common stock as of the Fresh Start Reporting Date:


Enterprise value, excluding cash	$	1,252,379
Plus: cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	117,587
Less: fair value of debt	(974,205)
Fair value of Successor stockholders’ equity	$	395,761
Shares issued upon emergence	25,000
Per share value	$	15.83

The following reconciles estimated enterprise value to the reorganization value of the Successor assets to be allocated to individual assets as of the Fresh Start Reporting Date:


Enterprise value, excluding cash	$	1,252,379
Plus: cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	117,587
Plus: working capital liabilities	170,905
Plus: other operating liabilities	54,700
Plus: non-operating liabilities	113,954
Reorganization value of Successor assets	$	1,709,525

With the assistance of financial advisors, the Company determined the estimated enterprise value and the corresponding estimated equity value of the Successor by considering various valuation methods, including (i) discounted cash flow method, (ii) guideline public company method, and (iii) selected transaction analysis method.

In order to estimate the enterprise value using the discounted cash flow analysis approach, the Company’s estimated future cash flow projections through 2024, plus a terminal value calculated using a capitalization rate applied to normalized cash flows were discounted to an assumed present value using our estimated weighted average cost of capital (12%), which represents the internal rate of return.

The identified intangible assets of $70,999, which principally consisted of trade names, technology, licenses, and customer relationships, were also valued with the assistance of financial advisors and were estimated based on either the relief-from-royalty or multi-period excess earnings methods. Significant assumptions included discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results such as revenue growth rates, margins, customer attrition, and royalty rates. Some of these estimates are inherently uncertain and may be affected by future economic and market conditions.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

The adjustments set forth in the following consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2020 reflect the effects of the transactions contemplated by the Plan and executed on the Fresh Start Reporting Date (reflected in the column entitled "Reorganization Adjustments") as well as the fair value and other required accounting adjustments resulting from the adoption of fresh start reporting (reflected in the column entitled "Fresh Start Reporting Adjustments"). Pre-petition liabilities that were allowed as claims in the Chapter 11 Cases are classified as liabilities subject to compromise within the consolidated balance sheet.

5. CCAA Proceeding and Deconsolidation of Subsidiaries

On January 21, 2021, the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries applied for relief from their respective creditors pursuant to the CCAA Proceeding. On the Order Date, the Canadian Court issued an order for creditor protection of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of the CCAA and the appointment of FTI Consulting Canada Inc. to serve as the Monitor. The order issued by the Canadian Court in the CCAA Proceeding on the Order Date included the following relief:

•approval for the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries to borrow under a debtor-in-possession financing facility (the "Canadian DIP Facility") from another non-U.S. subsidiary of Pyxus (the "DIP Lender") in an initial amount of up to Cdn.$8,000, which following approval by the Canadian Court was increased to Cdn.$16,000;

•a stay of proceedings in respect of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and the directors and officers of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries (the "Canadian Directors and Officers") and the Monitor; and

•the granting of super priority charges against the property of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries in favor of: (a) certain administrative professionals; (b) the Canadian Directors and Officers; and (c) the DIP Lender for amounts borrowed under the Canadian DIP Facility.

On January 29, 2021, the Canadian Court issued an order permitting the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries to initiate a sale and investment solicitation process to be conducted by the Monitor and its affiliate to solicit interest in, and opportunities for, a sale of, or investment in, all or substantially all, or one or more components, of the assets and/or the business operations of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries.

On May 10, 2021, a definitive agreement for the sale of the assets of Figr Norfolk was entered into for a purchase price of Cdn.$5,000. On June 10, 2021, the Canadian Court approved the sale agreement. The consummation of the sale under this agreement occurred on January 28, 2022.

On May 25, 2021, a definitive agreement was entered into with a separate buyer for the sale of the outstanding equity of Figr East and certain intangible assets of Figr Brands for an aggregate purchase price of Cdn.$24,750. On June 10, 2021, the Canadian Court approved the sale agreement. On June 25, 2021, Health Canada approved the buyers of Figr East and certain intangible assets of Figr Brands. The sale of Figr East and certain intangible assets of Figr Brands was completed on June 28, 2021.

Canadian DIP Financing

Pursuant to the Canadian DIP Facility, the DIP Lender provided Figr Brands with secured debtor-in-possession financing to permit Figr Brands, the parent entity of Figr East and Figr Norfolk, to fund the working capital needs of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries in accordance with the cash flow projections approved by the Monitor and the DIP Lender. These payments also funded fees and expenses to be paid to the DIP Lender, professional fees and expenses incurred by the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and the Monitor in respect of the CCAA Proceeding, and such other costs and expenses of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries as may be agreed to by the DIP Lender. On July 8, 2021, the loans under the Canadian DIP Facility were fully repaid to the DIP Lender.

Deconsolidation of Subsidiaries

While the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries were at the time of the commencement of the CCAA Proceedings majority owned by the Company, the administration of the CCAA Proceeding, including the Canadian Court’s appointment of the Monitor and the related authority of the Monitor, including approval rights with respect to significant actions of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries during the pendency of the CCAA Proceeding, resulted in the Company losing control (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries at that time, and the deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities and elimination of their equity components from the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of January 21, 2021. The Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries’ financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results through January 20, 2021, which is the day prior to the Order Date. Prior to the deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries, they comprised an operating segment within the Other Products and Services reportable segment, which upon the Company's reevaluation of operating and reportable segments effective during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2022 is presented in the All Other category. Upon deconsolidation, the Company accounts for its investment in the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting.

Prior to the deconsolidation, the carrying value of the Company's related party note receivable from the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries was $153,860. The Company fully impaired its equity investment in the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries, effective as of the Order Date, based on the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries carrying a retained deficit of $77,518 and based on offers the Company received to buy the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries or certain assets and the allocation of consideration among the assets to be sold, as reflected in the sales agreements approved by the Canadian Court. Following consummation of the contemplated sales of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries, and after repayment of the Canadian DIP Facility and satisfaction of

administrative expenses from the CCAA Proceeding, the Company estimated recovering aggregate net cash consideration of $6,100, which represents the fair value of the related party note receivable retained by the Company as of March 31, 2021. As a result, the Company recorded a net loss of $70,242 for the year ended March 31, 2021 associated with the deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company's adjusted related party note receivable was $1,431, which resulted in a $4,537 loss in the year ended March 31, 2022 on the deconsolidation/disposition of subsidiaries recorded within the consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to the CCAA Proceeding, the Company received funds in settlement of its debt claims with respect to the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and did not receive any recovery with respect to its equity interest in the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries. See "Note 30. Subsequent Events" for additional information.

Related Party Relationship

The commencement of the CCAA Proceeding, the appointment of the Monitor, and the subsequent deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries results in transactions with the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries no longer being eliminated in consolidation. As such, transactions between the Company and the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries, during their respective period of ownership by the Company, are treated as related-party transactions. See "Note 28. Related Party Transactions" for transactions between the Company and the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries.

6. Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is primarily processed tobacco sold to the customer. Processing and other revenues are mainly contracts to process customer-owned green tobacco. During processing, ownership remains with the customers. All Other revenue is primarily composed of revenue from the sale of e-liquids and non-tobacco agriculture product revenue. 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 consolidated financial statements):

8. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

The Company has continued its focus on cost saving initiatives. The employee separation and impairment charges are primarily related to continued wind down of the Company's industrial hemp cannabidiol ("CBD") operations and the continued restructuring of certain leaf operations. The following summarizes the Company's restructuring and asset impairment charges:


	Successor				Predecessor
	Year Ended March 31, 2022		Seven months ended March 31, 2021		Five months ended August 31, 2020		Year ended March 31, 2020

Asset impairment and other noncash charges	5,739		4,001		213		1,054
Total restructuring and asset impairment charges	$	8,031	$	11,817	$	566	$	5,646

9. Income Taxes

As described in "Note 3. Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11", on August 24, 2020, as part of the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, Old Pyxus completed a series of transactions pursuant to which the business assets and operations of Old Pyxus were vested in a new Virginia corporation, Pyxus Holdings, which is an indirect subsidiary of the Company. Commencing upon the Effective Date, the Company, through its subsidiaries, continued to operate the Old Pyxus business in the ordinary course. Old Pyxus, which retained no assets, has commenced a dissolution and is being wound down. The tax attributes generated by Old Pyxus’ foreign subsidiaries (net operating loss carryforwards and income tax credits) survived the Chapter 11 proceedings and the Company expects, to the extent that a valuation allowance is not applicable, to use these tax attributes to reduce future tax liabilities. With regard to the U.S., tax attributes not utilized as part of the Chapter 11

proceedings or asset sale to Pyxus Holdings pursuant to the Plan will expire unutilized. The Company entered into a transfer agreement with Old Pyxus to transfer and assume the liability for unpaid installment payments of Old Pyxus under Internal Revenue Code Section 965(h) (i.e. transition tax) in the amount of $8,543.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The following summarizes the changes to unrecognized tax benefits:


	Successor				Predecessor
	Year Ended March 31, 2022		Year Ended March 31, 2021		Year Ended March 31, 2020
Balance at April 1	$	18,358	$	19,481	$	11,663
(Decrease) increase for prior year tax positions	(660)		128		4,177
Increase for current year tax positions	—		4,232		6,425
Reduction for settlements	—		(130)		(1,558)
Reorganization and Fresh Start Reporting	—		(5,246)		—
Impact of changes in exchange rates	27		(107)		(1,226)
Balance at March 31(1)	$	17,725	$	18,358	$	19,481
(1) As of March 31, 2022, $14,138 would impact the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized.

The following summarizes changes in the Company's accrued interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits:



	Year Ended March 31, 2022		Year Ended March 31, 2021
Interest, beginning of period	$	1,474	$	1,209
Increase	303		265
Interest, end of period	$	1,777	$	1,474

Penalties, beginning of period	$	770	$	815
Increase (decrease)	61		(45)
Penalties, end of period	$	831	$	770

To the extent unrecognized tax benefits represent an underpayment of taxes, the Company expects to continue accruing related interest expenses. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including the related interest and penalties, decreased from $20,602 to $20,333 primarily driven by the expiration of statute of limitations.

Due to the Company’s global operations, numerous tax audits may be ongoing throughout the world at any point in time. The Company's income tax liabilities are based on estimates of potential additional income taxes due upon the conclusion of such audits and are updated to reflect changes in facts and circumstances, as they become known. Due to the uncertain and complex application of tax regulations, it is possible that the resolution of audits may result in liabilities which could be materially different from these estimates. In such an event, the Company will record additional income tax expense or benefit in the period in which such resolution occurs or if estimates or judgments change. The Company does not expect to settle material uncertain tax positions that have been accrued in the next twelve months.

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 March 31, 2022, the Company’s earliest open tax year for U.S. federal income tax purposes was its year ended March 31, 2019. Open tax years in state and foreign jurisdictions generally range from three to six years. In applicable jurisdictions, the Company’s tax attributes from prior periods remain subject to adjustment.

(1) Recognition of global valuation allowances related to the Company’s financial position.
(2) Other comprehensive (loss) income.
(3) Currency translation and direct write-off.
(4) Release of valuation allowance related to emergence from U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and related fresh start reporting as well as deconsolidation of the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate timeframe and of the appropriate character. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized, but realization of all tax assets is not assured. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets not expected to be realized. The valuation allowance increased primarily due to the impact of U.S. derived deferred interest expense.

The following summarizes the gross amount and expiration dates of our operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2022:


	Expiration Date	Amounts
U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards	2023-2027	$	—
U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards	Thereafter	938
U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards	Indefinite	20,409

Non-U.S. net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards	Indefinite	23,713
Total		$	68,575

Under current U.S. tax regulations, in general, repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. can be completed without incurring material incremental U.S. tax. However, repatriation of foreign earnings could subject the Company to U.S. state and non-U.S. jurisdictional taxes (including withholding taxes) on distributions or sales of minority owned investments.

The Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability for U.S. or foreign tax from foreign subsidiary unremitted earnings and profits where an indefinite reinvestment assertion was made on the basis that this group of foreign subsidiaries does not expect to have available excess cash and cash equivalents to remit in the foreseeable future or has specific needs for available excess cash. The unrecorded tax liability associated with indefinitely reinvested foreign subsidiary earnings is not practicable to estimate due to the inherent complexity of the Company's global operations.

13. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of Criticality

On December 18, 2017, the Company completed a purchase of a 40.0% interest in Criticality, a North Carolina-based industrial hemp company that is engaged in CBD extraction and other applications for industrial hemp in accordance with a pilot program authorized under the federal Agriculture Act of 2014 and applicable North Carolina law. On April 22, 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 60.0% of the equity in Criticality in exchange for consideration consisting of $5,000 cash and $7,450 for the settlement of the Company's note receivable from Criticality, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.

The acquisition of Criticality was a business combination achieved in stages, which required the Company to remeasure its previously held equity interest in Criticality at its acquisition date fair value. This remeasurement resulted in a loss of approximately $2,667 being recorded in other (expense) income, net within the consolidated statements of operations for the five months ended August 31, 2020. The assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value.

Following the acquisition, the Company recorded certain post-closing purchase price adjustments. The intent of the acquisition was to allow the Company to expand its industrial hemp production and product portfolio. The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of April 22, 2020:


Cash and cash equivalents	$	195
Accounts receivable	1,528

(2) $372 of the impairment occurred during the three-month period ended December 31, 2021. The remaining $31,814 of impairment occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

Goodwill

As of January 1, 2022, the Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill for its reporting units. The assessment of qualitative factors indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying value primarily due to a sustained decline in the implied value of the Company's long-term debt and equity based on public trading since the emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on August 24, 2020, as well as uncertainty in the Company's estimate of timing for future operating results due to the recent economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including related variants. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value for each reporting unit was determined using the DCF method of the income approach. The quantitative impairment test conducted for each reporting unit concluded that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The excess of carrying value over fair value for each reporting unit exceeded the amount of goodwill that was allocated to the reporting unit, leading the Company to record a full impairment of goodwill at each reporting unit as follows:


	Three months ended

Leaf - Asia	6,311

The ABL Credit Facility may be used for revolving credit loans and letters of credit from time to time up to an initial maximum principal amount of $100,000, subject to the limitations described below in this paragraph. The ABL Credit Facility includes a $20,000 uncommitted accordion feature that permits Pyxus Holdings, under certain conditions, to solicit the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility to provide additional revolving loan commitments to increase the aggregate amount of the revolving loan commitments under the ABL Credit Facility not to exceed a maximum principal amount of $120,000. The amount available under the ABL Credit Facility is limited by a borrowing base consisting of certain eligible accounts receivable and inventory, reduced by specified reserves, as follows:

•85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus

•90% of eligible credit insured accounts receivable, plus

•applicable reserves.

At March 31, 2022, $10,000 was available for borrowing under the ABL Credit facility, after reducing availability by the aggregate borrowings under the ABL Credit facility of $90,000 outstanding on that date and the $20,000 of Domestic Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) required to be maintained.

"Excess Availability") falls below 10% of the total commitments under the ABL Credit Facility at such time, or (iii) Domestic Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) being less than $20,000, the ABL Loan Parties will become subject to cash dominion, which will require daily prepayment of loans under the ABL Credit Facility with the cash deposited in certain deposit accounts of the ABL Loan Parties, including concentration accounts, and will restrict the ABL Loan Parties’ ability to transfer cash from their concentration accounts to their disbursement accounts. Such cash dominion period (a "Dominion Period") shall end when (i) if arising as a result of a continuing event of default, such event of default ceases to exist, (ii) if arising as a result of non-compliance with the Excess Availability threshold, Excess Availability shall be equal to or greater than 10% of the total commitments under the ABL Credit Facility for a period of 30 consecutive days and no event of default is continuing, or (iii) if arising as a result of Domestic Availability being less than $20,000, Domestic Availability is greater than $20,000 for a period of 30 consecutive days and no event of default is continuing.

Covenants

The ABL Credit Agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility contains (i) a springing covenant requiring that the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio be no less than 1.10 to 1.00 during any Dominion Period and (ii) a covenant requiring Domestic Availability greater than $20,000 at all times until audited financial statements for fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 are delivered under the ABL Credit Agreement.

Under certain conditions, Pyxus Holdings may solicit the ABL Lenders to provide additional revolving loan commitments under the Exit ABL Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000. The Exit ABL Credit Facility is required to be drawn at all times in an amount greater than or equal to the lesser of (i) 25% of total commitments under the Exit ABL Credit Facility and (ii) $18,750. The amount available under the Exit ABL Credit Facility is limited by a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and inventory as follows:

DDTL Facility

On April 23, 2021, Intabex Netherlands B.V. ("Intabex"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended on May 21, 2021, the "DDTL Facility Credit Agreement"), dated as of April 23, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), by and among (i) Intabex, as borrower, (ii) the Company, Pyxus Parent, Inc., Pyxus Holdings, Inc., Alliance One International, LLC, Alliance One International Holdings, Ltd, as guarantors (collectively, the "Parent Guarantors"), (iii) the lenders thereto, which currently include certain funds managed by Glendon Capital Management, L.P., Monarch Alternative Capital LP, and Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P. (collectively and, together with any other lender that is or becomes a party thereto as a lender, the "DDTL Facility Lenders"), and (iv) Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "DDTL Agent"). The DDTL Facility Credit Agreement established a $120,000 delayed-draw term loan credit facility (the "DDTL Facility") under which the full amount has been drawn (the "DDTL Loans"). The proceeds

of the DDTL Loans were used to provide working capital and for other general corporate purposes of Intabex, the Guarantors (as defined below) and their subsidiaries.

The DDTL Facility and all DDTL Loans made thereunder mature on July 31, 2022. The DDTL Loans may be prepaid by Intabex at any time without premium or penalty other than the Exit Fee described below and, in the case of any prepayment of LIBOR loans, subject to customary breakage. At March 31, 2022, the aggregate principal amount outstanding was $107,832, net of original issue discount of $2,418, which includes an estimated $5,250 exit fee payable upon repayment. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of DDTL Loans may not be reborrowed under the DDTL Facility.

Interest on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding DDTL Loans accrues at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 9.00%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.50%, for LIBOR loans or, for loans that are not LIBOR loans, at an annual rate of an alternative base rate (as specified in the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement) plus 8.00%. Interest is to be paid in arrears in cash upon prepayment, acceleration, maturity, and on the last day of each interest period (and every three months in the case of interest periods in excess of three months) for LIBOR loans and on the last day of each calendar month for loans that are not LIBOR loans. Pursuant to the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement, the DDTL Facility Lenders received a non-refundable commitment fee equal to 2.00% of the aggregate commitments under the DDTL Facility, paid in cash in full on the Closing Date and netted from the proceeds of the DDTL Loan borrowed on the Closing Date. The DDTL Facility Credit Agreement provides for the payment by Intabex to the DDTL Facility Lenders of a non-refundable exit fee (the "Exit Fee") in the amounts set forth in the table below in respect of any DDTL Loans repaid (whether prepaid voluntarily or paid following acceleration or at maturity). The Exit Fee is deemed to have been earned on the Closing Date, and is due and payable in cash on each date of repayment or termination, as applicable, in respect of the DDTL Loans or commitments repaid or terminated on such date, as applicable.


Loan Repayment Date			Exit Fee
On or before September 30, 2021			1.00%

("AO Brazil"), which principally operates the Company’s leaf tobacco operations in Brazil, and (ii) Alliance One International Tabak B.V., which owns a 0.001% interest of AO Brazil.

Collateral

The liens and other security interests granted by Pyxus Holdings and the guarantors on the Collateral for the benefit of the holders of the Notes are, subject to certain permitted liens, secured by first-priority security interests on the Notes Priority Collateral and a junior lien on the ABL Priority Collateral and the Term Loan Priority Collateral (in each case as defined in the Intercreditor Agreements). The obligations of Pyxus Holdings and each other guarantor have respective priorities with respect to the guarantees and the Collateral as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements described below.

Intercreditor Agreements

The priority of the obligations under each of the Notes, the ABL Credit Facility, and the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility are set forth in the two intercreditor agreements entered into in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, including the issuance of the Notes and the establishment of the ABL Credit Facility and the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility.

ABL/Exit Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement

The intercreditor relationship between, (i) on one hand, the holders of obligations under the ABL Credit Facility, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations and (ii) on the other hand, (A) the holders of obligations under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations and (B) the holders of obligations under the Notes, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations, is governed by the ABL/Exit Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement, Pyxus Holdings’ obligations under the ABL Credit Facility, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations have first priority liens on the Collateral consisting of ABL Priority Collateral (as defined therein), including certain accounts receivable and inventory and certain related intercompany notes, cash, deposit accounts, related general intangibles and instruments, certain other related assets of the foregoing entities and proceeds of the foregoing (other than identifiable cash proceeds of the Term Loan Priority Collateral or the Notes Priority Collateral, each as defined below), with the obligations under the Notes and the Exit Term Loan Facility having junior priority liens on the ABL Priority Collateral. Pursuant to the ABL/Exit Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement, Pyxus Holdings’ collective obligations under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility and the Notes, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations have first priority liens on the Notes Priority Collateral which consists of the Collateral that is not ABL Priority Collateral, including owned material real property in the United States, capital stock of subsidiaries owned directly by Pyxus Holdings or a guarantor, existing and after acquired intellectual property rights, equipment, related general intangibles and instruments and certain other assets related to the foregoing and proceeds of the foregoing, with the obligations under the ABL Credit Facility having junior priority liens on the Notes Priority Collateral.

Exit Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement

The intercreditor relationship between and among the holders of obligations under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations and the holders of obligations under the Notes, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations is governed by the Exit Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Exit Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement, Pyxus Holdings’ obligations under the Exit Term Loan Credit Facility, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations have senior priority liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral consisting of (i) all assets and property of Pyxus Holdings and any domestic guarantor constituting ABL Priority Collateral up to (A) $125,000 minus (B) the aggregate principal amount of loans and the aggregate face amount of letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement, and (ii) all assets and property of any Foreign Guarantor constituting Collateral securing the Exit Term Loan Agreement, with the obligations under the Notes having junior priority liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral (the "ABL Priority Collateral Cap"). The liens securing the Notes and the Exit Term Loan Facility on the ABL Priority Collateral in excess of the ABL Priority Collateral Cap are secured on a pari passu basis. Further, the guarantees of the Foreign Guarantors in respect of the Notes are subordinated in right of payments to the guarantees of the Foreign Guarantors in respect of the Exit Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement, Pyxus Holdings’ obligations under the Notes, the guarantees thereof and certain related obligations have first priority liens on all Notes Priority Collateral, with the obligations under the Exit Term Loan Facility having junior priority liens on the Notes Priority Collateral.

Short-Term Seasonal Lines of Credit

Excluding all long-term credit agreements, the Company has typically financed 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 to 270 days corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. These facilities are typically uncommitted in that the lenders have the right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans at any time. These loans are typically renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company may borrow up to a total $673,288 and $716,742, subject to limitations as provided for in the ABL Credit Agreement (as defined above), respectively. The weighted average variable interest rate for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 6.1% and 6.1%, respectively. Certain of the foreign seasonal lines of credit with aggregate outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2022 and 2021

of $109,412 and $172,462, respectively, are secured by trade receivables and inventories as collateral. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, $971 and $1,017 of cash was held on deposit as a compensating balance.

African Lines of Credit

On August 12, 2021, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, including the Company’s subsidiaries in Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia (the "African Subsidiary Borrowers"), entered into the Third Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the "Restated TDB Agreement") with Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank ("TDB") to set forth the terms that govern the foreign seasonal lines of credit of each of the African Subsidiary Borrowers with TDB. The Restated TDB Agreement provides for a lending commitment with respect to the line of credit of the Company’s Malawi subsidiary of $80,000, a lending commitment with respect to the line of credit of the Company’s Tanzania subsidiary of $85,000, and a lending commitment with respect to the line of credit of the Company’s Zambia subsidiary of $40,000, in each case with current borrowing availability reduced by the amount of outstanding loans borrowed under the respective existing line of credit with TDB. Loans under the Restated TDB Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 6%. The Restated TDB Agreement terminates on June 30, 2024, unless terminated sooner at TDB’s discretion on June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2023. The terms of the Restated TDB Agreement may also be modified at TDB’s discretion on those dates. Borrowings under the Restated TDB Agreement are due upon the termination of the Restated TDB Agreement.

• tobacco purchased by that African Subsidiary Borrower that is financed by TDB;

• intercompany receivables arising from the sale of the tobacco financed by TDB;

• customer receivables arising from the sale of the tobacco financed by TDB; and

• such African Subsidiary Borrower's local collection account receiving customer payments for purchases of tobacco financed by TDB.

The Restated TDB Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants (subject, in each case, to customary and other exceptions and qualifications), including covenants that limit the ability of the African Subsidiary Borrowers to, among other things:

• grant liens on assets;

• incur additional indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent obligations);

• sell or otherwise dispose of property or assets;

• maintain a specified amount of pledged accounts receivable and inventory;

• make changes in the nature of its business;

• enter into burdensome contracts; and

• effect certain modifications or terminations of customer contracts.

The Restated TDB Agreement contains events of default including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal or interest, violation of covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, cross-default to other debt, bankruptcy and other insolvency events, invalidity of loan documentation, certain changes of control of the Company and the other loan parties, termination of material licenses, and material adverse changes.

At March 31, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries party to the Restated TDB Agreement were in compliance with all such covenants under the Restated TDB Agreement and $133,388 was available for borrowing under the Restated TDB Agreement, after reducing availability by the aggregate borrowings under the Restated TDB Agreement of $71,612 outstanding on that date.

20. Securitized Receivables

During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under three accounts receivable securitization facilities, which are subject to annual renewal. 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. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the special purpose entity, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and upon the sale and transfer of the receivables from the special purpose

entity to the unaffiliated financial institutions, 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 March 31, 2022, the investment limit of this facility was $125,000 of trade receivables.

The first 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 statements of consolidated operations.

For the second and third facilities, 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. Under the second facility, the Company does not receive a servicing fee from the unaffiliated financial institution and as a result, has established a servicing liability based upon unobservable inputs, primarily discounted cash flow. As of March 31, 2022, the investment limit under the second facility was $80,000 of trade receivables. As of March 31, 2022, the investment limit under the third facility was variable based on qualifying sales.

As servicer of the first and second facilities, the Company may receive funds that are due to the unaffiliated financial institutions which are net settled on the next settlement date. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, trade receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets has been reduced by $1,872 and $3,651 as a result of the net settlement, respectively. Refer to "Note 23. Fair Value Measurements" for additional information. The second and third facilities do not contain restrictive covenants.

23. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level valuation hierarchy, which is comprised of observable and non-observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These three levels of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 inputs - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 inputs - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and observable inputs (other than quoted prices) for the assets or liabilities.

•Level 3 inputs - Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

The following summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


	March 31, 2022						March 31, 2021
	Level 2		Level 3		Total Assets / Liabilities at Fair Value		Level 2		Level 3		Total Assets / Liabilities at Fair Value
Financial assets
Derivative financial instruments	$	9,867	$	—	$	9,867	$	917	$	—	$	917
Securitized beneficial interests	—		28,072		28,072		—		19,370		19,370
Total assets	$	9,867	$	28,072	$	37,939	$	917	$	19,370	$	20,287
Financial liabilities
Long-term debt	$	447,843	$	246	$	448,089	$	467,795	$	3,162	$	470,957
Guarantees	—		2,956		2,956		—		1,740		1,740
Total liabilities	$	447,843	$	3,202	$	451,045	$	467,795	$	4,902	$	472,697

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 based on 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.

Level 3 measurements

•Guarantees: The fair value of guarantees is based on the discounted cash flow analysis of the expected future cash flows or historical loss rates. Should the loss rate change 10% or 20%, the fair value of the guarantee at March 31, 2022 would change by $296 and $591, respectively. The historical loss rate was weighted by the principal balance of the loans.

•Securitized beneficial interests: The fair value of securitized beneficial interests is based on the present value of future expected cash flows. Since the discount rate and the payment speed are components of the same equation, a change in either by 10% or 20% would change the value of the recorded beneficial interest at March 31, 2022 by $129 and $258, respectively. The discount rate was weighted by the outstanding interest. Payment speed was weighted by the average days outstanding.

•Debt: The fair value of debt is based on the present value of future payments. The primary inputs to this valuation include treasury notes interest and borrowing rates. Should the rates change 10% or 20%, the fair value of the long term debt at March 31, 2022 would change by $1 and $2, respectively. The borrowing rates were weighted by average loans outstanding.

24. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

On November 19, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan ("U.S. Pension Plan"). Termination of the U.S. Pension Plan is a twelve-to-eighteen month process. The Company will settle benefits directly with vested participants electing a lump sum payout and purchase a group annuity contract to administer future payments to the remaining U.S. Pension Plan participants. Based on the estimated value of assets held in the U.S. Pension Plan, the Company estimates that a cash contribution of between $3,000 and $5,000 will be required to fully fund the U.S. Pension Plan's liabilities upon termination. In addition, the Company expects to record a pension settlement charge at plan termination, which includes the reclassification of unrecognized pension gains and losses within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to other (expense) income, net within the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not have an estimate for this future settlement charge. The amount of unrecognized pension gains within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the U.S. Pension Plan is approximately $5,401 at March 31, 2022.

25. 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 March 31, 2022, the assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $2,780 and the total assessment including penalties and interest is $10,264. 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 March 31, 2022, the assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $2,405 and the total assessment including penalties and interest is $6,629. 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 $13,331. 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.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company identified an asset retirement obligation ("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.

26. Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

27. Stock–Based Compensation

Pursuant to the Confirmation Order and the Plan, at the effectiveness of the Plan on the Effective Date, all outstanding rights to acquire the common stock of Old Pyxus, including awards under its stock compensation plans, were cancelled. On November 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Pyxus International, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), which was approved at the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders on August 19, 2021. The Incentive Plan permits the grant of options, stock appreciation rights (or SARs), stock awards, stock unit awards, performance share awards, and incentive awards. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock eligible to be issued under the Incentive Plan is 2,200,000 shares. The awards outstanding at March 31, 2022 under the Incentive Plan, all of which were awarded in the year ended March 31, 2022 are restricted stock units for an aggregate of 717 shares that become eligible for vesting, subject to continued employment in equal annual increments generally on March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024, performance-based restricted stock units for an aggregate of 1,076 shares at the target performance level and stock units awarded to non-employee directors for an aggregate of 69 shares. The performance-based restricted stock units provide for the issuance of shares based of satisfaction of performance criteria over a three-year measurement period ending March 31, 2024, subject to continued employment, with payouts at 50% of the target level upon satisfaction of threshold performance levels, 100% of the target level upon satisfaction of target performance levels and 150% of the target level upon performance equaling or exceeding the maximum performance levels, with payouts interpolated for performance between these levels. Each of such time-vesting and performance-based restricted stock units is subject to an additional condition to vesting that the Company’s common stock be listed for trading on a national securities exchange or an approved foreign securities exchange by a specified date. As of March 31, 2022, the vesting requirements for these awards were not probable to occur under U.S. GAAP and, accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the year ended March 31, 2022.

30. Subsequent Events

CCAA Emergence

Following monetization of their remaining assets, on February 2, 2022, Figr Norfolk and Figr Brands obtained approval to make cash distributions to their creditors pursuant to a distribution protocol approved by the Canadian Court (the "Creditor Distributions").

On April 21, 2022, the Figr Norfolk and Figr Brands obtained approval from the Canadian Court to terminate the CCAA Proceedings and commence bankruptcy proceedings under Canada's Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (the "BIA Proceedings") to complete certain corporate and tax-related wind-up activities. FTI Consulting Canada Inc. was appointed as Trustee in Bankruptcy in the Bankruptcy Proceedings. On May 13, 2022, Figr Norfolk and Figr Brands commenced the BIA Proceedings.

On May 20, 2022, the Company received $1,380 in settlement of its debt claims with respect to the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries and did not receive any recovery with respect to its equity interest in the Canadian Cannabis Subsidiaries. As of May 20, 2022, substantially all of the Creditor Distributions had been completed, pursuant to the Distribution Protocol.

On June 13, 2022, the CCAA Proceedings were formally terminated.

Securitized Receivables

On May 31, 2022, the first facility was extended and includes an investment limit $100,000 of trade receivables.

DDTL Refinancing

On June 2, 2022, Intabex, the Company, the Guarantors, the DDTL Facility Lenders and the DDTL Agent entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated as of June 2, 2022 (the "Amendment and Restatement Agreement") to amend and restate the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement as set forth in the form of an Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), appended to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, among (i) Intabex, as borrower, (ii) the Company and the Guarantors, (iii) the DDTL Facility Lenders and any other lender that becomes a party thereto (collectively, the "Term Loan Lenders"), and (iv) the DDTL Agent, as administrative agent and collateral agent. See "Note 19. Debt Arrangements" for additional information.

The Amendment and Restatement Agreement provides that, on the Amendment and Restatement Effectiveness Date (as defined below), the amendment and restatement of the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement by the Amended Credit Agreement shall be effective. The Amended Credit Agreement would establish a $100,000 term loan credit facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and requires that Intabex use the net proceeds of the loans to be made thereunder (the "Term Loans") and other funds to repay in full its obligations under the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement, including the outstanding principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, borrowings under the DDTL Facility on Amendment and Restatement Effectiveness Date and the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with repaying such borrowings and entering into the Amended Credit Agreement. The Term Loans would mature on December 2, 2023. The Amended Credit Agreement would provide that the Term Loans may be prepaid at any time, with a 2.0% fee due with respect to any principal payment made after the one-year anniversary of the Amendment and Restatement Effectiveness Date, including a payment made at maturity. The Amended Credit Agreement would provide that amounts of principal that are prepaid could not be reborrowed under the Term Loan Facility.

Under the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the "Amendment and Restatement Effectiveness Date" is the date, which may be no later than July 29, 2022, on which the conditions to effectiveness specified in the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, which are customary for agreements of this type, are satisfied.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans is to accrue at an annual rate of SOFR plus 7.5%, subject to a SOFR floor of 1.0%, for "SOFR loans" or, for loans that are not SOFR loans, at an annual rate of an alternate base rate (as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement and subject to a specified floor) plus 6.5%. Interest is to be paid in arrears in cash upon prepayment, acceleration, maturity, and on the last day of each interest period (which may be one, three or six months) for SOFR loans and on the last day of each calendar quarter for loans that are not SOFR loans. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders would receive a non-refundable commitment fee equal to 3.0% of the aggregate commitments under the Term Loan Facility and a closing fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate commitments under the Term Loan Facility, in each case paid either in cash in full on the Term Loan Closing Date or as original issue discount.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations of Intabex under the Amended Credit Agreement (and certain related obligations) are to continue to be guaranteed and secured by the same guarantors of, and the same collateral securing, Intabex’s obligations under the DDTL Facility Credit Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Pyxus International, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pyxus International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 (Successor Company balance sheets), the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the year ended March 31, 2022 and the seven months ended March 31, 2021 (Successor Company operations), the five months ended August 31, 2020 and the year ended March 31, 2020 (Predecessor Company operations), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the Successor Company financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2022 and the seven months ended March 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor Company financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows for the five months ended August 31, 2020, and the year ended March 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fresh-Start Reporting

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, on August 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the plan of reorganization for the Predecessor Company which became effective on August 24, 2020. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with FASB Accounting Standard Codification 852, Reorganizations, for the Successor Company as a new entity with assets, liabilities, and a capital structure having carrying values not comparable with prior periods as described in Note 4 to the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Income Taxes — Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — Refer to Note 1 and Note 9 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s annual tax rate is based on its pre-tax income by jurisdiction, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company records unrecognized tax benefits in multiple jurisdictions and evaluates the future potential outcomes of tax positions, based upon interpretation of the country-specific tax law and the likelihood of future settlement. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s recorded unrecognized tax benefits totaled $20.3 million. Conclusions on recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions involved significant management estimates

104

and judgment and included complex considerations of local tax laws and related regulations in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

We identified uncertain tax positions as a critical accounting matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions involved in recording uncertain tax positions. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our tax specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates and assumptions utilized in the Company’s determination of uncertain tax positions included the following, among others:

•With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we read and evaluated management’s documentation, including relevant accounting policies, relevant authoritative tax literature, and information obtained by management from outside tax specialists and attorneys, that detailed the basis of the uncertain tax positions.

•With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we evaluated management’s judgement of the appropriate unit of account for the unrecognized tax benefits and audited the measurement calculations and the interest and penalties balances, as applicable.

•We challenged the reasonableness of management’s judgments regarding the future resolution of the uncertain tax positions, through evaluating the technical merits of the uncertain tax positions by considering how tax law, including statutes, regulations, and case law, impacted management’s judgments and through consideration of the Company’s history of settlements.

•For those uncertain tax positions that had not been effectively settled, we evaluated whether management had appropriately considered new information that could significantly change the recognition, measurement, or disclosure of the uncertain tax positions through review of correspondence with taxing authorities and evaluation of changes to issued guidance.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains 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 March 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2022.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, and includes those policies and procedures that:

i.pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

ii.provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

iii.provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of March 31, 2022.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 due to the Company's status as a smaller reporting company and a nonaccelerated filer.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In the course of our ongoing preparations for making management’s report on internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, from time to time we have identified areas in need of improvement and have taken remedial actions to strengthen the affected controls as appropriate. We make these and other changes to enhance the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, which do not have a material effect on our overall internal control.

We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and will take action as appropriate.
