New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – November 26, 2025) – Emerging Growth Research today released its latest quarterly update report on 22nd Century Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: XXII), highlighting the Company’s now cash-rich balance sheet, full debt repayment, settlement of a $9.5 million insurance case, and stabilization of its Contract Manufacturing Operations (CMO). The updated report also reflects management’s revised outlook for EBITDA breakeven, now expected in Q3 2026.
Key Highlights from the Update Report:
- 22nd Century Group has fully repaid all remaining debt and settled its long-running $9.5 million insurance-related legal case, giving the Company a materially strengthened net-cash position.
- Q3 2025 revenue of $4.0 million represents stabilization following restructuring and the 2024 CMO price-hike attrition.
- Gross profit declined to $(1.1) million due to higher excise taxes, despite underlying per-unit margin improvement.
- Operating loss improved year-over-year to $(3.2) million as SG&A expenses continued to tighten.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $(2.6) million, remaining stable compared to prior quarters.
- Net cash increased to $14.0 million in Q3 2025, compared to $(0.8) million in Q2 2025.
- Management maintains confidence in reaching EBITDA breakeven by Q3 2026 on higher-margin CMO mix and VLN® expansion.
- VLN® rollout continues, with state registrations now covering nearly all U.S. states and initial shipments underway.
