the imposition of tariffs and other changes in international trade policies; shifts in the global supply and demand position for tobacco products; variation in our financial results due to growing conditions, customer indications and other factors; loss of confidence in us by our customers, farmers and other suppliers; migration of suppliers who have historically grown tobacco and from whom we have purchased tobacco toward growing other crops; risks related to our advancement of inputs to tobacco suppliers to be settled upon the suppliers delivering us unprocessed tobacco at the end of the growing season; risks that the tobacco we purchase directly from suppliers will not meet our customers’ quality and quantity requirements; weather and other environmental conditions that can affect the marketability of our inventory;

failure to achieve our stated goals, which may adversely affect our liquidity; developments with respect to our liquidity needs and sources of liquidity; volatility and disruption of global credit markets; failure by counterparties to derivative transactions to perform their obligations; increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from go vernments, as well as other stakeholders such as investors and customers, with respect to our environmental, social and governance policies, including sustainability policies; inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused significant loss, injury, or death; risks associated with the ability certain shareholders have to exercise contr olling influence on various corporate matters; reductions in demand for consumer tobacco products; risks and uncertainties related to pandemics or other widespread health crises and any related shipping con straints, labor shortages and supply-chain impacts; legislative and regulatory initiatives that may reduce consumption of consumer tobacco products and demand for our products and services and increase re gulatory burdens on us or our customers; government actions that significantly affect the sourcing of tobacco, including governmental actions to identify and assess crop diversification init iatives and alternatives to leaf tobacco growing in countries whose economies depend upon tobacco production; governmental investigations into, and litigation concerning, leaf tobacco industry buying and other payment practices; and impact of potential regulations to prohibit the sale of cigarettes in the United States other than low-nicotine cigarettes.

Non-GAAP Financial Information. This Presentation contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting pr inciples in the United States (“GAAP”). They include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow Adjusted for Changes in Working Capital, and Net Debt. The range of Adjusted EBITDA anticipated for fiscal years ending March 31, 2027 – 2029 is calculated in a manner consistent with the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA included on the Company website / public filings. Because of the forward -looking nature of the estimated range of Adjusted EBITDA, it is impractical to present a quantitative reconciliation of such measure to a comparable GAAP measure, and accordingly no such GAAP measure is being presented. For thi s Presentation, Free Cash Flow Adjusted for Changes in Working Capital is calculated as Net Operating Cash Flow (excluding impact from changes in operating assets and liabilities, net) less capital e xpenditures. Presentation of Prior Fiscal Year Data. The fiscal year of Pyxus ends on March 31. Financial data presented for: (i) the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 is for the predecessor prior to the Chapter 11 filing in 2020; and (ii) the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 represents the combination of results for the predecessor from April 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 and for Pyxus, as the successor entity, from September 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021.
