Description of Business

 

Turning Point Brands, Inc., including its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products. The Company sells a wide range of products to adult consumers consisting of staple products with its iconic brands Zig-Zag® and Stokers® and its next generation products to fulfill evolving consumer preferences. The Company's segments are led by its core proprietary and iconic brands: Zig-Zag® and Stokers® along with FRE®, Beech-Nut® and Trophy®. The Company’s products are available in more than 220,000 retail outlets in North America. The Company operates two segments, Zig-Zag products and Stoker’s products.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On January 2, 2025, the Company contributed 100% of its interest in South Beach Brands LLC (“SBB”), the subsidiary that owned and operated the Company’s former Creative Distribution Solutions (“CDS”) reportable segment, to General Wireless Operations, Inc. (“GWO”) in exchange for 49% of the issued and outstanding GWO common stock. GWO is a joint venture between the Company and Standard General, LP entered into in December 2018. 

 

As of December 31, 2024, the assets and liabilities associated with the CDS segment have been classified as held for sale. Accordingly, the financial results of the CDS segment were classified as discontinued operations and reported separately for all periods presented herein. Following the discontinued operations classification, the Company has two reportable segments, which are reflected herein. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures in the notes to these consolidated financial statements relate solely to the Company's continuing operations, comprised of the Zig-Zag and Stoker’s segments. See Note 3, "Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" for additional information regarding the CDS divestiture, including the assets and liabilities held for sale and the income or losses from discontinued operations.
