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 Pyxus directly or indirectly controls, 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 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.
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 14. 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.

5. Income Taxes
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $11,253, of which $8,974 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 September 30, 2019, accrued interest and penalties totaled $1,214 and $672, 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 six months ended September 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 $943 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 September 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 and Six Months Ended September 30, 2019
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was (13.8)% and (161.1)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was (44.3)% and (19.5)%, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the effective rate differed from the US statutory rate of 21% due to the impact of non-deductible interest, net foreign exchange effects and Subpart F income. The primary differences in the effective tax rates year over year are 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 six months ended September 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. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded the net tax effects of certain discrete events, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $1,089. 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 prior quarter, and changes in foreign exchange impacts. Comparable tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was calculated using the discrete method as allowed under ASC 740-270, Accounting for Income Taxes - Interim Reporting. Using the discrete method, the Company determined current and deferred income tax expense as if the interim period were an annual period, and no discrete events were separately identified.
6. 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 guaranteed loans 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:

8. Variable Interest Entities
The Company holds variable interests in multiple entities that primarily procure or process inventory or are securitization entities. These variable interests relate to equity investments, advances, guarantees, and securitized receivables. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the majority of its variable interests, 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 the Company's financial relationships with its unconsolidated variable interest entities:

The Company's investment in and advances to unconsolidated variable interest entities are classified as investments in unconsolidated affiliates and accounts receivable, related parties, respectively, in the condensed 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 as disclosed in "Note 19. Securitized Receivables".
9. 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.

(1) 785 shares of common stock were owned by a wholly owned subsidiary as of September 30, 2019 and 2018.
|
|
|
|
|
(2) All outstanding restricted shares, shares applicable to stock options, and restricted stock units are excluded because their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect on the loss per share. The dilutive shares would have been 20 and 52 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and 39 and 59 for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Certain potentially dilutive options were not included in the computation of earnings per diluted share because their effect would be antidilutive. Potential common shares are also considered antidilutive in the event of a net loss. The number of potential shares outstanding that were considered antidilutive and that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding were as follows:

12. 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 $3,163 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at September 30, 2019 is $11,159. 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 $2,736 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at September 30, 2019 is $7,275. 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 $10,649. 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 alleged 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 alleged 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 sought damages in an unspecified amount. On October 31, 2019, the complaint was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice.
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 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.

ABL Facility
The ABL credit agreement restricts the Company from paying 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 September 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.
14. 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.

19. Securitized 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. As of September 30, 2019, the investment limit under the first facility was $125,000 of 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 September 30, 2019, the investment limit under the second facility was $125,000 of trade receivables.
As the servicer of these facilities, the Company 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 $12,446, $5,328, and $5,208 as of September 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 with observable inputs. 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 determined using 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 determined using 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 market interest rates ranging between 15.0% to 75.8% and the Company’s historical loss rates ranging between 2.2% to 10.0% as of September 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 determined using the present value of future expected cash flows. The primary inputs to this valuation include payment speeds of 65 to 73 days and discount rates of 3.5% to 4.6% as of September 30, 2019. The discount rate was weighted by the outstanding interest. Payment speed was weighted by the average days outstanding.

On October 8, 2019, the City of New York filed a complaint in U.S. District Court against 24 e-liquids companies, including the Company’s Humble Juice subsidiary, seeking an injunction to prevent sales of e-cigarette products to residents of New York City without adequate age-verification systems and to prohibit marketing e-cigarettes to New York City residents under the age of 21, as well as statutory damages and compensation to the city for the costs of abating underage e-cigarette use. The Company is currently evaluating the complaint.
