Pyxus International (OTCMKTS:PYYX) Posts Earnings Results

Pyxus International (OTCMKTS:PYYX) issued its earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported $0.65 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, Zacks reports. Pyxus International had a negative return on equity of 1.85% and a negative net margin of 0.13%.

Here are the key takeaways from Pyxus International’s conference call:

• Adjusted EBITDA was $80M in Q3 and $164.2M year-to-date, and management reaffirmed full-year fiscal 2026 guidance of $215–$235M Adjusted EBITDA and $2.4–$2.6B in net sales, positioning the year to be one of the strongest on record.
• Inventory rose by about $207M, driving the operating cycle to 184 days and a 12-month adjusted free cash flow use of $186M, financed by increased seasonal borrowings that left leverage at ~6x and interest coverage ~1.4x at quarter end.
• Management expects the larger South American and African crops to ship in Q4, which should convert inventory to cash, materially reduce seasonal debt, and improve leverage and interest coverage by year-end.
• Third-party processing and scale benefits strengthened margins, contributing about $7M in Q3 and $28.8M year-to-date, while ongoing centralization and automation initiatives in South America aim to lower the cost structure long term.
• Net sales for Q3 were $655.8M (down ~$123M year-over-year) due to lower prices and shipment timing, with gross margin per kilo slightly below last year at $0.80 while gross margin percentage improved modestly to 15.2%.
