In addition, we now expect to qualify our first U.S. white pouch production lines in the first half of 2026."

Stoker's Products Segment (63% of total net sales in the quarter)

For the third quarter, Stoker's segment net sales increased 80.8% from the prior year to $74.8 million, driven by strong growth in Modern Oral sales, mid-single-digit growth in MST and low-single-digit growth in looseleaf.

For the third quarter, Zig-Zag segment net sales decreased 10.5% from the prior year and 6.1% sequentially to $44.2 million. Excluding the previously discussed wind-down of our Clipper business, Zig-Zag was up mid-single-digits sequentially, which slightly beat our expectations.

The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $267.8 million, comprised of $201.2 million in cash and $66.6 million of availability under an asset backed revolving credit facility.
