On March 28, 2024, we implemented a 1-for-16 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every sixteen (16) shares of our pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of our Common Stock.

All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout this section have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The par value per share of our common stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

Current report
For the second quarter and first six months of 2024, cigarette net revenues, including export volume, increased to $4,107 million or 8%, and decreased to $6,867 or (17%), respectively, compared to the prior year periods. For the second quarter 2024, cigarette sales benefitted from strong summer seasonal demand with key customers, price increases that took effect in April 2024 and a one-time Spectrum®research cigarette order which provided a $0.9 million boost, sequentially compared to the first quarter 2024. For the first six months of 2024, volume decreases were result of prior year comparable period stocking orders of Pinnacle cigarettes launched in a top-five convenience store chain and a large one-time order of export product.
Current report
For the second quarter and first six months of 2024, filtered cigars net revenues decreased to $3,303 and $6,927, respectively, compared to $3,931 and $8,326 in the prior year comparable periods, reflecting lower volumes as the Company continues to transition away from low or negative margin manufacturing agreements, in favor of higher margin cigarette manufacturing agreements. Additionally, price increases for certain customers took effect in April 2024.
Current report
Cigarillo distribution net revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2024 amounted to $552, reflective of the expanded Pinnacle branded product offerings launched in April 2024 with a top-five national convenience store chain.
Current report
VLN® cigarette net revenues were negligible in the second quarter 2024, a decrease from the comparable prior year period which benefited from stocking orders with major c-stores. While the Company has secured broad distribution of its VLN® products, the sell-through has not yet materialized. The Company is currently making changes to rebrand and relaunch its VLN® products.
Current report
The improvement in gross profit and gross profit as a percent of revenues, net for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to the benefit of ongoing cost cut initiatives, efficiency, and the shift in product mix.
Current report
(c) Decreases in public company expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year periods were mainly due to waived board of director compensation fees in the current year periods and a decrease in professional services fees due to the restructuring of our business.
Current report
(d) Other expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were mainly due to decreases in insurance, technology and legal expenses.
Current report
Other income (expense), net decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same prior year period, due to a decrease of $60 of realized losses on short term investments and $1,047 gain resulting from change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, interest expense partially increased as a result of higher PIK interest accrual prior to extinguishment in April 2024 of $609, and $400 loss on extinguishment. This is offset by the ongoing repayment and elimination of debt obligations on our balance sheet, resulting in a decrease of cash interest of $102 and a decrease of non-cash interest amortization of $349 recognized from the Senior Secured Credit Facility (of these totals, interest that was allocated to discontinued operations decreased by $18), and additional decreases of $459 as a result of change in fair value of conversion option derivative liability.
