Pyxus International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of Pyxus International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Pyxus") and all companies that we directly or indirectly control, either through majority ownership or otherwise. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for any fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be attained for other quarters or a full fiscal year.

Leases
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, on the consolidated balance sheet.

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.
 
Segments
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes to how the business is managed and results are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. In connection with the "One Tomorrow Transformation" initiative, the Company changed its organizational structure to support its diversified business lines. Prior to the realignment, the Company assessed financial information based on geographic regions. The Company's diversification efforts have resulted in management placing emphasis on data by business line in addition to the historical focus by geography. As a result of this realignment, the reportable segments now include Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services. Prior period segment financial information has been revised to conform to the current year presentation.

Restricted Cash
The following summarizes the restricted cash balance:

June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 March 31, 2019
Compensating balance for short-term borrowings $ 1,230  $ 1,047  $ 1,225 
Capital investments —  850  — 
Escrow  1,397  —  2,894 
Other  899  866  1,648 
Total $ 3,526  $ 2,763  $ 5,767 

As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and March 31, 2019, the Company held $0, $2,638, and $1,082, respectively, in the Zimbabwe Real Time Gross Settlement (“RTGS”) system. RTGS is a local currency equivalent that as of June 30, 2019 was exchanged at a government specified rate of 6.6:1 with the U.S. Dollar ("USD").

2. New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under this guidance, a lessee recognizes assets and liabilities on its balance sheet for most leases, and retains a dual model approach for assessing lease classification and recognizing expense. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The FASB subsequently issued updates to provide clarification on specific topics, including adoption guidance, practical expedients, and interim transition disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter beginning April 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach, which does not require adjustments to comparative periods or require modified disclosures for those comparative periods. The guidance provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients. The Company implemented changes to the accounting policies, systems, and controls to align with the new guidance. There is a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet from applying this guidance, which resulted in the recognition of new right-of-use assets of $43,900 and lease liabilities of $42,064 as of April 1, 2019 associated with the Company’s operating leases. The impact on the results of operations, cash flows, and existing debt covenants is not material. The adoption of this guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. See "Note 13. Leases" for more information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. This guidance will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on April 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the test for goodwill impairment as it eliminates step 2 of the goodwill impairment test by no longer requiring an entity to compare the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Upon adoption, goodwill impairment will be measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill. The Company will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is needed. This guidance will be adopted on a prospective basis and is effective for the Company beginning on April 1, 2020. Early adoption is available and the Company is currently considering whether it will early adopt for its annual goodwill impairment testing. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new accounting standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU 2018-14 updates disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on March 31, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to the Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2018-17 changes how entities evaluate decision-making fees under the variable interest entity guidance. To determine whether decision-making fees represent a variable interest, an entity considers indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis, rather than in their entirety. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on April 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue from contracts with customers, primarily from the sale of processed tobacco and fees charged for processing and related services to the manufacturers of tobacco products. The following disaggregates sales and other operating revenues by major source:

Three Months Ended June 30,
2019 2018
Leaf - North America:
Product revenue $ 31,141  $ 46,452 
Processing and other revenues 3,809  3,600 
Total sales and other operating revenues 34,950  50,052 
Leaf - Other Regions:
Product revenue 225,147  223,896

Total sales and other operating revenues $ 276,670  $ 290,989 
(1) Other products and services is primarily composed of revenue from the sale of legal cannabis in Canada and e-liquids product revenue.

Product revenue is primarily processed tobacco sold to the customer. Processing and other revenues are mainly contracts to process green tobacco owned and provided by the customers. During processing, ownership remains with the customers and the Company is engaged to perform processing services.

The following summarizes activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Three Months Ended June 30,
2019 2018
Balance, beginning of period $ (13,381) $ (7,055)
Additions —  (293)
Write-offs 6,131  91 
Balance, end of period (7,250) (7,257)
Trade receivables 200,326  204,091 
Trade receivables, net $ 193,076  $ 196,834 

4. Income Taxes

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $9,854, of which $7,575 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019, accrued interest and penalties totaled $1,158 and $688, respectively. The Company expects to continue accruing interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits described above. The Company may be subject to fluctuations in the unrecognized tax benefit due to currency exchange rate movements.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reached an income tax settlement with the Kenyan Revenue Authority for $1,558 for a previously recorded uncertain tax position. In addition, a previous accrual to settle asserted issues for years 2009 to 2016 in Zimbabwe of $964 was reduced by $818 to account for the exchange rate impact of the local currency

equivalent. The U.S. federal net operating loss was reduced to reflect the impacts of certain tax accounting methods on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI").

The Company does not expect additional changes in the amount of its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months but acknowledges circumstances can change due to unexpected developments in the law. In certain jurisdictions, tax authorities have challenged positions taken by the Company that resulted in recognizing benefits that are material to its financial statements. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will prevail in these situations and accordingly has not recorded liabilities for these positions. The Company expects the challenged positions to be settled at a time greater than twelve months from its balance sheet date.

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 June 30, 2019, the Company’s earliest open tax year for U.S. federal income tax purposes is its fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. The Company's tax attributes from prior periods remain subject to adjustment. Open tax years in state and foreign jurisdictions generally range from three to six years.

Provision for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
The Company's quarterly provision for income taxes has been calculated using the annual effective tax rate method (“AETR method”), which applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income or loss. The effective tax rate used for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was (59.2)% and 92.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to the impact of net foreign exchange effects, increases in non-deductible interest, as well as Subpart F income, and variation in expected jurisdictional mix of earnings.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded the net tax effects of certain discrete events, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $2,601. This discrete income tax benefit primarily related to the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions, an adjustment made to the deemed repatriation tax liability as a result of retroactive regulatory guidance issued during the quarter, and changes in foreign exchange impacts. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded the tax effects of a discrete event resulting in additional income tax expense of $3,906. This discrete income tax expense primarily related to the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions and changes in foreign exchange impacts.

5. Guarantees

In certain markets, the Company guarantees bank loans to suppliers to finance their crops. Under longer-term arrangements, the Company may also 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 any guaranteed loan should the supplier default. If default occurs, the Company has recourse against its various suppliers and their production assets. The Company also guarantees bank loans of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in Asia and South America. The following summarizes amounts guaranteed and the fair value of those guarantees:

June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 March 31, 2019
Amounts guaranteed (not to exceed) $ 127,738  $ 153,347  $ 143,298 
Amounts outstanding under guarantee 90,535  84,116  103,846 
Fair value of guarantees 3,136  3,544  3,714 

Of the guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2019, most expire within one year. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and March 31, 2019, respectively, the Company had balances of $24,131, $18,652, and $18,659 due to local banks on behalf of suppliers included in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

7. Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds variable interests in multiple entities that primarily procure or process inventory on behalf of the Company and other parties or are securitization entities. These variable interests relate to equity investments, advances, guarantees made by the Company, and securitized receivables. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the majority of its variable interests in variable interest 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 Humble Juice Co., LLC ("Humble Juice"), a consolidated entity for which the related intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The following summarizes financial relationships with variable interest entities:

June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018 March 31, 2019
Investment in variable interest entities $ 57,541  $ 63,021  $ 64,281 
Advances to variable interest entities 14,500  9,937  3,273 
Guaranteed amounts to variable interest entities (not to exceed) 63,584  71,919  67,027 

The Company's investment in and advances to variable interest entities are classified as investments in unconsolidated affiliates and accounts receivable, related parties, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in these variable interest entities is represented by the investments, advances, guarantees, and the deferred purchase price on the sale of securitized receivables that is disclosed in "Note 18. Sale of Receivables".

8. Segment Information

The Company's operations are managed and reported in ten operating segments that are organized by product category and geographic area and aggregated into three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services. These segment groupings are consistent with information used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:

Leaf - North America ships tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products around the world. Leaf - North America is more highly concentrated on processing and other activities compared to the rest of the world.

Leaf - Other Regions ships tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products around the world. Leaf - Other Regions sells a small amount of processed but un-threshed flue-cured and burley tobacco in loose-leaf and bundle form to certain customers.

Other Products and Services primarily consists of cannabis and e-liquid products. Cannabis was legalized for adult use in Canada on October 17, 2018. The cannabis products of certain of the Company's subsidiaries have been sold in the Canadian market, primarily to municipally-owned retailers. E-liquids products are sold to consumers via e-commerce platforms and other distribution channels, and retail stores.

9. Earnings Per Share

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is reported as the weighted average of the total shares of common stock outstanding, net of shares of common stock held by a wholly owned subsidiary. 785 shares of common stock were owned by the subsidiary as of June 30, 2019 and 2018. This subsidiary waives its right to receive dividends and does not have the right to vote.

Certain potentially dilutive options were not included in the computation of earnings per diluted share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the shares of common stock during the period and their effect would be antidilutive. These shares totaled 427 at a weighted average exercise price of $60.00 per share as of June 30, 2019 and 2018. Diluted net loss per share as of June 30, 2019 was the same as basic net loss per share as the effects of potentially dilutive items were antidilutive given the Company’s net loss.

11. 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. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $3,437 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at June 30, 2019 is $12,041.
-15-


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. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $2,973 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at June 30, 2019 is $7,862. 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 and the State of Santa Catarina. These jurisdictions permit the sale or transfer of excess credits to third parties, however approval must be obtained from the tax authorities. The Company has agreements with the state governments regarding the amounts and timing of credits that can be sold. The tax credits have a carrying value of $10,782. 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.

In 1969, the Brazilian government created a tax credit program that allowed companies to earn IPI tax credits (“IPI credits”) based on the value of their exports. The government began to phase out this program in 1979, which resulted in numerous lawsuits between taxpayers and the Brazilian government. The Company has a long legal history with respect to credits it earned while the IPI credit program was in effect. In 2001, the Company won a claim related to certain IPI credits it earned between 1983 and 1990. The Brazilian government appealed this decision and numerous rulings and appeals were rendered on behalf of both the government and the Company from 2001 through 2013. Because of this favorable ruling, the Company began to use these earned IPI credits to offset federal taxes in 2004 and 2005, until it received a Judicial Order to suspend the IPI offsetting in 2005. The value of the federal taxes offset in 2004 and 2005 was $24,142 and the Company established a reserve on these credits at the time of offsetting as they were not yet realizable due to the legal uncertainty that existed. Specifically, the Company extinguished other federal tax liabilities using IPI credits and recorded a liability in Pension, Postretirement and Other Long-Term Liabilities to reflect that the credits were not realizable at that time due to the prevalent legal uncertainty. On March 7, 2013, the Brazilian Supreme Court rendered a final decision in favor of the Company that recognized the validity of the IPI credits and secured the Company's right to benefit from the IPI credits earned from March 1983 to October 1990. This final decision expressly stated the Company has the right to the IPI credits. The Company estimates the total amount of the IPI credits to be approximately $94,316 at March 31, 2013. Since the March 2013 ruling definitively (without the government's ability to appeal) granted the Company the ownership of the IPI credits generated between 1983 and 1990, the Company believes the amount of IPI credits that were used to offset other federal taxes in 2004 and 2005 are realizable beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, at March 31, 2013, the Company recorded the $24,142 IPI credits it realized in the Statements of Consolidated Operations in Other Income. No further benefit has been recognized pending the outcome of the judicial procedure to ascertain the final amount as those amounts have not yet been realized.

Other Matters
On June 7, 2019, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The complaint was brought on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock between June 7, 2018 and November 8, 2018. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws provisions with respect to fraud and material representations, which purported misconduct was revealed by the Company's November 8, 2018 announcement that sales and other operating revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 had decreased approximately 12% over the prior year quarter and the announcement on November 9, 2018 by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Company had settled charges that it had materially misstated its financial statements from 2011 through the second quarter of 2015 due to improper and insufficient accounting, processes and control activities, deferred crop costs and revenue transactions in Africa. The complaint alleges that members of the purported class were harmed by the decline in the trading price of the Company's common stock on the dates of these announcements. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount. The Company does not believe the claims have merit, and intends to vigorously defend against the claims made in the complaint.

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, the Company is vigorously defending them and 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
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records all known asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) for which the liability can be reasonably estimated. Currently, it has identified an 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
-16-


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.

12. Debt Arrangements

ABL Facility
The ABL credit agreement restricts the Company from paying any dividends during the term of this facility subject to the satisfaction of specified financial ratios. In addition, the indentures governing the Company's outstanding 8.5% senior secured first lien notes due 2021 and its outstanding 9.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2021 contain similar restrictions and also prohibit the payment of dividends and other distributions if the Company fails to satisfy a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 2.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not satisfy this fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company may not satisfy this ratio from time to time and failure to meet this fixed charge coverage ratio does not constitute an event of default.
        
13. 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 typically 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 following summarizes weighted-average information associated with the measurement of remaining operating lease as of June 30, 2019:

Weighted-average remaining lease term 5.3 years
Weighted-average discount rate 9.5%

18. Sale of Receivables

The Company sells trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under two accounts receivable securitization facilities. 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the investment limit of this program was decreased from $155,000 trade receivables to $125,000 trade receivables. Under the second facility, the Company offers receivables for sale to an unaffiliated financial institution, which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institution. As of June 30, 2019, the investment limit under the second facility was $125,000 trade receivables.

The Company is the servicer of both facilities and may receive funds that are due to the unaffiliated financial institutions, which are net settled on the next settlement date. As a result of the net settlement, trade and other receivables, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets has been reduced by $6,348, $8,559, and $5,208 as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and March 31, 2019, respectively.

Level 2 measurements

Debt: The fair value of debt is based on the market price for similar financial instruments or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable. 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. The primary inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include a market interest rate of 15.0% and the Company’s historical loss rates of 2.4% to 10.0% as of June 30, 2019. 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. The primary inputs to this valuation include payment speeds of 84 days and a discount rate of 4.9% as of June 30, 2019. The discount rate was weighted by the outstanding interest. Payment speed was weighted by the average days outstanding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview
Our company changed its name from Alliance One International, Inc. to Pyxus International, Inc. on September 12, 2018. The following executive overview for the period ended June 30, 2019 is intended to provide highlights of the discussion and analysis that follows.

Financial Results
Sales and other operating revenues decreased to $276.7 million, a 4.9% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to an 11.5% decrease in Leaf volumes, primarily in North America and Africa due to the timing of shipments. This decrease was partially offset by the continued development of the Other Products and Services segment and a 7.2% increase in average sales price due to favorable Leaf product mix. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 14.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 14.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to increased sales in the Other Products and Services segment and favorable Leaf product mix. Total selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $11.3 million or 29.7% to $49.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $38.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. SG&A as a percent of sales increased to 17.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 13.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. These increases were primarily due to startup costs associated with branding, marketing, and advertising expenses for the FIGR cannabinoid and Humble Juice e-liquid brands and the evaluation of a partial monetization of a portion of the Other Prodcuts and Services segment.

Liquidity
Our liquidity requirements are affected by various factors including crop seasonality, foreign currency and interest rates, green tobacco prices, customer mix, crop size, and quality. As of June 30, 2019, the Company's available credit lines, letters of credit, and cash totaled $505.5 million. We will continue to monitor and adjust funding sources as needed to enhance and drive various business opportunities that maintain flexibility and meet cost expectations.

Outlook
Following a transformative fiscal year 2019, we remain dedicated to execution of our strategy and opportunities to drive enhanced shareholder value. As we move into the next phase of our ‘One Tomorrow’ journey, we are taking additional steps to further position Pyxus for long-term success. We are committed to driving improved results and we remain focused on strengthening our leaf business while continuing to invest in our new startup business ventures to position them for growth. In addition, we are continuing to evaluate the consolidation of Pyxus' ownership in its two majority-owned Canadian cannabis businesses with two of its minority-owned U.S. hemp and e-liquids businesses under the common control of a subsidiary separate from Pyxus’ other operations, as well as assess related opportunities to monetize a portion of its interests in this subsidiary in fiscal 2020.
Moving forward in fiscal year 2020, we are committed to the ongoing execution of our strategy in the next chapter of our transformation as we work together to achieve our shared purpose to transform people's lives so that we can grow a better world. Our team remains focused on pursuing growth opportunities, enhancing the balance sheet and unlocking value for the benefit of our shareholders, customers, affiliates and employees.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Sales and other operating revenues decreased $14.3 million or 4.9% to $276.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $291.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to an 11.5% decrease in Leaf volumes, attributable to Hurricane Florence reducing the U.S. crop size and foreign tariffs on U.S. tobacco in North America and timing of shipments in Africa. This decrease was partially offset by the continued development of the Other Products and Services segment and a 7.2% increase in average sales price due to favorable Leaf product mix.

Cost of goods sold decreased $12.6 million or 5.0% to $237.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $249.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in Leaf volume in North America.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 14.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 14.2% for three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to increased sales in the Other Products and Services segment and favorable Leaf product mix.

Selling, general, and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $11.3 million or 29.7% to $49.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $38.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. SG&A as a percent of sales increased to 17.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 13.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. These increases were primarily due to startup costs associated with branding, marketing, and advertising expenses for the FIGR cannabinoid and Humble Juice e-liquid brands and the evaluation of a partial monetization of the Other Prodcuts and Services segment.

Restructuring and asset impairment charges decreased $1.3 million or 86.7% to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to a cost-saving and restructuring associated with the closure of a processing facility in the Leaf - Other Regions segment in 2018.

Income tax expense increased $48.8 million or 192.9% to $23.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2019 from $(25.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to the change in the effective tax rate from 92.7% to (59.2)% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, respectively, and the occurrence of certain discrete items during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Sales and other operating revenues decreased $15.2 million or 30.3% to $34.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $50.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to lower volume attributable to Hurricane Florence reducing the U.S. crop size and foreign tariffs on U.S. tobacco. This decrease was partially offset by an 11.3% increase in average sales prices due to product mix.

Cost of goods sold decreased $13.3 million or 30.9% to $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $43.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in volume.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 14.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 14.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to favorable changes in product mix. This increase was partially offset by higher conversion costs in the U.S. from lower factory throughput driven by reduced volumes.

SG&A decreased $1.2 million or 22.2% to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

SG&A as a percent of sales increased to 12.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 10.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to the decrease in sales. This increase was partially offset by lower SG&A costs in the current year due to the impact of restructuring initiatives enacted in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview
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 fiscal year-end. We utilize capital in excess of cash flow from operations to finance accounts receivable, inventory, and advances to tobacco suppliers in foreign countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Malawi, Tanzania, Turkey, and Zambia. In addition, from time to time, we may elect to purchase, redeem, repay, retire, or cancel indebtedness prior to stated maturity under our various foreign credit lines and senior secured credit agreement or indentures, as permitted therein.

As of June 30, 2019, we are approaching the seasonally-adjusted peak for our South American crop lines as we are completing purchasing and processing in these markets, with shipping stepping into full mode. In Africa, purchasing will continue through August in most sourcing areas while processing and shipping will peak in the second and third quarters. In Asia, the Chinese crop is fully processed and the Thai crops are fully purchased, with significant shipping still to come, while some Indian traditional crop is still left to purchase and process. The Indonesian purchasing season begins in August. Europe has completed purchases of the 2018 crop and is finishing processing with most shipping to come. North America is preparing to begin flue cured purchasing in August with processing and shipping to follow, which will commence its seasonally-elevated working capital needs. Fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus many of the currencies in which we have costs may continue to have an impact on our working capital requirements; as such, we will actively monitor and hedge foreign currency costs, as needed on a currency-by-currency basis.

Working Capital
Our working capital decreased to $507.0 million at June 30, 2019 from $591.7 million at March 31, 2019. Our current ratio was 1.6 to 1 at June 30, 2019 and 1.9 to 1 at March 31, 2019. The decrease in working capital was primarily related to the seasonal buildup of African and South American inventories and advances to tobacco suppliers and the related seasonal increase of notes payable to finance the purchase and processing of these crops partially offset by lower cash balances and accounts receivable due to the timing of collections.

The following is a summary of items from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

June 30, March 31, 
(in millions except for current ratio) 2019 2018 2019

Net cash provided (used) by:
Operating activities (169.9) (273.1)
Investing activities 52.6  59.4 
Financing activities 89.1  148.4 

Approximately $83.4 million of our outstanding cash balance at June 30, 2019 was held in foreign jurisdictions. As a result of our cash needs abroad, it is our intention to permanently reinvest these funds in foreign jurisdictions regardless of the fact that the cost of repatriation would not have a material financial impact.

-30-


Operating Cash Flows
Net cash used by operating activities decreased $103.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to smaller crop sizes in South America and Africa.

Investing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by investing activities decreased $6.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in cash provided was primarily due to higher purchases for property, plant, and equipment related to expansion of the Other Products and Services segment.

Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $59.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease is primarily due to lower net proceeds from short-term borrowings due to decreases in purchasing requirements for the current South American crops.

Debt Financing
We continue to finance our business with a combination of short-term and long-term seasonal credit lines, an ABL facility, long-term debt securities, advances from customers, and cash from operations when available. At June 30, 2019, we had cash of $164.1 million and total debt outstanding of $1,420.8 million comprised of $520.8 million of short-term notes payable to banks, $271.4 million of 8.5% senior secured first lien notes, $628.0 million of 9.875% senior secured second lien notes, and $0.6 million of other long-term debt. The $91.8 million seasonal increase in notes payable to banks from March 31, 2019 to June 30, 2019 results from the timing of borrowings under the Brazilian credit lines. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, were $645.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.2% and $635.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.2%, respectively. Aggregated peak borrowings by facility occurring during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were repaid with cash provided by operating activities. Available credit as of June 30, 2019 was $341.4 million comprised of $60.0 million under our ABL facility, $275.1 million of notes payable to banks, and $6.3 million of availability for letters of credit. Borrowing under the ABL facility is permitted only to the extent that, after consideration of the application of the proceeds of the borrowing, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents would not exceed $180.0 million. At June 30, 2019, our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was $164.1 million. In fiscal 2020, we expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $83.0 million. Approximately $27.0 million is expected to be expended for routine replacement of equipment and investments intended to add value to our customers or increase efficiency in our tobacco business. Approximately $6.0 million is expected to be expended for value-added agriculture capabilities. The remainder is expected to be for expansion of our production capacity in Canada with anticipated funding by future Canadian structure-finance products.

No cash dividends were paid to shareholders during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The payment of dividends is restricted under the terms of our ABL credit facility, the indentures governing the 8.5% senior secured first lien notes, and the 9.875% senior secured second lien notes.

Foreign Seasonal Lines of Credit
We have typically financed our non-U.S. tobacco operations with uncommitted unsecured short-term seasonal lines of credit at the local level. These operating lines are seasonal in nature, normally 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. As of June 30, 2019, we had $520.8 million drawn and outstanding on foreign seasonal lines with maximum capacity totaling $808.6 million, subject to limitations as provided for in the agreement governing our ABL credit facility. Additionally, against these lines there was $12.7 million available in letter of credit capacity with $6.4 million issued but unfunded.
   
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
See "Note 2. New Accounting Standards" for more information.

Zimbabwe Currency Considerations
As of June 30, 2019, the Company held $0 in the Zimbabwe RTGS system. RTGS is a local currency equivalent that as of June 30, 2019 was exchanged at a government specified rate of 6.6:1 with the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). In order to convert these units to USD, the Company must obtain foreign currency resources from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe 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. As of June 30, 2019, MTC has $90.6 million of net assets. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for more information.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
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 changes in the timing of anticipated shipments, changes in anticipated geographic product sourcing, political instability, currency and interest rate fluctuations, shifts in the global supply and demand position for tobacco products, changes in tax laws and regulations or the interpretation of tax laws and regulations, resolution of tax matters, adverse weather conditions, changes in costs incurred in supplying products and related services, uncertainties with respect to the impact of regulation associated with new business lines, including the risk of obtaining anticipated regulatory approvals in Canada, uncertainties regarding the regulation of the production and distribution of hemp products and continued compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, uncertainties with respect to the development of the industries and markets of the new business lines, consumer acceptance of products offered by the new business lines, uncertainties with respect to the timing and extent of retail and product-line expansion; the impact of increasing competition in the new business lines, uncertainties regarding obtaining financing to fund planned facilities expansions in Prince Edward Island and Ontario, the possibility of delays in the completion of these and other facilities expansions and uncertainties regarding the potential production yields of new or expanded facilities, as well as the progress of legalization of cannabis for medicinal and adult recreational uses in other jurisdictions. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties, and other factors can be found in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, in Part II, Item 1A of this 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes to our market risk exposures since March 31, 2019. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain 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.

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, 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 June 30, 2019. 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 June 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Certain updates to our internal controls, processes, and systems were implemented in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02. There were no additional changes that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See "Note 11. Contingencies and Other Information" to the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" for further information with respect to legal proceedings, which is incorporated by reference herein.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should carefully consider our risk factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or operating results, in addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of the date of this report, there are no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, except for updated information included in the following:

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. For example, 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 the USD. In order to convert these units to USD, the Company must obtain foreign currency resources from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe 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.

Our international operations are in areas where the demand is for the export of lower priced tobacco. We have significant investments in our purchasing, processing and exporting operations in Argentina, Brazil, Malawi, Tanzania, Turkey, and Zimbabwe.

In recent years, economic problems in certain African countries have received wide publicity related to devaluation and appreciation of the local currency and inflation, including the classification of the Malawi 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 relatively 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.

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 U.S. dollars, 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 U.S. dollar. When the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, our costs for purchasing and processing tobacco in such currencies increases. 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. 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.
