Century Group Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Advances

VLN® Commercialization Through Expanded Retail Support and Brand-Building Initiatives

MOCKSVILLE,

N.C., August 13, 2026 —22nd Century Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XXII), the leader in low-nicotine tobacco, low-nicotine cigarettes

and only tobacco products company focused on reducing the harms of smoking through nicotine reduction, today announced results for the

second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided an update on recent commercial, regulatory and operational activities.

The

Company’s proprietary reduced nicotine technology is designed to serve adult smokers seeking to significantly reduce nicotine consumption

while continuing to use a familiar combustible format. 22nd Century’s strategy is centered on providing adult smokers with FDA-authorized

reduced nicotine cigarette products intended to help them take greater control of their nicotine consumption.

“The

second quarter marked another period of disciplined execution as we continued to expand retail distribution, increase consumer awareness

and strengthen the commercial foundation for our VLN® cigarette products” said Larry Firestone, Chief

Executive Officer of 22nd Century Group. “During the quarter, we broadened our retail footprint, launched new Pinnacle®

products, expanded into new geographic markets and continued building the infrastructure necessary to support long-term commercial growth.

Our initial same-store sales reports for VLN® products demonstrated encouraging consumer demand and reinforced our belief

that the market is looking for an alternative in the form of a combustible cigarette with significantly reduced nicotine.”

“Our

strategy remains straightforward. We will leverage our proprietary reduced-nicotine technology across multiple channels while improving

economics through a broader product portfolio, add additional partner-brand opportunities and execute with discipline. As THE leader

in low-nicotine tobacco technology and products, we believe our FDA-authorized modified risk claims, growing retail presence and differentiated

intellectual property position us to continue investing in low-nicotine products and expanding the low-nicotine category. Together, these

advantages provide us with a differentiated position within the tobacco industry and a strong foundation for future growth.”

“We

believe nicotine reduction represents the next significant step in the evolution of the tobacco industry and one of the most compelling

long-term opportunities in tobacco harm reduction. With our proprietary technology, FDA-authorized products, increasing commercial distribution

and scalable business model, we believe 22nd Century is well positioned to create long-term value for adult smokers seeking familiar

alternatives while delivering value for our shareholders.”

Second

Quarter 2026 Financial Results (compared to First Quarter 2026, except as noted)

All

figures reported below reflect continuing operations, excluding discontinued operations related to the sale and exit of the Company’s

hemp/cannabis business in late 2023, except as noted.

● Net

revenues decreased to $2.9 million from $4.1 million.

● Gross

profit (loss) improved to $(0.3) million, compared to $(0.6) million.

● Operating

expenses were $3.0 million, increased from $2.4 million.

● Operating

loss increased to $3.3 million, compared to $3.0 million.

● Net

loss was $3.3 million, compared to net loss of $3.0 million.

● Adjusted

EBITDA loss was $3.5 million, compared to a loss of $2.6 million.

● Ended

the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million.

2026

Strategic Priorities

22nd

Century has identified the below priorities for its business activities in 2026:

● Expanding

VLN® product distribution and consumer awareness.

● Continuing

disciplined cost management and capital allocation.

● Advancing

toward EBITDA breakeven as higher-margin revenues scale.

● Remaining

actively engaged with FDA regulators and public-health stakeholders.

The

Company believes that the convergence of regulatory momentum, increasing consumer awareness and its differentiated product portfolio

may support long-term value creation.

Recent

Business Highlights

● Expanded

Pinnacle VLN® retail distribution into approximately 150 additional stores

across metro New York and northern New Jersey, strengthening the Company’s presence

in one of the nation’s largest convenience retail markets.

● Launched

Pinnacle Pure™, a new tobacco- and water-style combustible cigarette expected to be

distributed through more than 2,000 retail locations, expanding the Pinnacle brand portfolio

and supporting higher-margin revenue opportunities.

● Initiated

a retail launch of Pinnacle VLN® in California through approximately 60 stores,

establishing the Company’s first commercial presence in the nation’s largest

tobacco market.

● Supported

Pinnacle® VLN® through in-store marketing materials and digital

promotion programs designed to increase adult-smoker awareness and support retail sell-through.

○ Initial

promotional programs conducted during May and early June were associated with a meaningful

increase in unit sales and a broader number of adult-smoker product trials during the promotional

period.

● Continued

expanding Pinnacle® VLN® retail distribution across convenience,

drug, tobacco specialty and other retail channels. Building on the Company’s current

presence in more than 2,000 stores across 20 states, management is targeting expansion to

approximately 5,000 retail outlets across multiple classes of trade by year-end 2026, significantly

broadening adult-smoker access to VLN® products while providing a stronger

foundation for long-term revenue growth.

● Continued

commercial discussions regarding the supply of VLN® tobacco, manufacturing

capabilities, partner-brand opportunities and, where applicable, future licensing arrangements.

● Ended

the quarter with $6.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt, providing

financial flexibility to support commercialization initiatives and strategic growth objectives.

Second

Quarter 2026 Product Line Net Revenues

● Cigarette

net revenues were $2.3 million, decreased from $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2026

on fewer cartons sold, reflecting a strategic shift away from high volume and low priced

CMO export customers and toward higher margin VLN® products. Additionally,

continued expansion of natural style cigarette products launched in 2025 is expected to accelerate

revenue and margin growth in this category in the second half of 2026.

● Filtered

cigar net revenues were $0.7 million compared to $0.9 million.

● Distribution

net revenues from other tobacco products for the period was $(0.2) million, reflecting a

one-time charge for reversal and write-off of aged inventory discontinued by our customer.

● VLN®

cigarette net revenues of $0.03 million, increased from negligible revenue in the first quarter

of 2026 reflect growing reorder activity primarily for our Pinnacle® partner

brand VLN® products, offset by current period price promotions targeting

expanded awareness, consumer trial and adoption. Additionally, net revenue reflects accruals

for product previously sold in prior years that will be returned or exchanged.

About

22nd Century Group, Inc.

22nd

Century Group is pioneering the tobacco harm reduction movement by enabling smokers to take control of their nicotine consumption.

Our

Technology is Tobacco

Our proprietary non-GMO reduced nicotine tobacco plants were developed using our patented technologies that

regulate alkaloid biosynthesis activities resulting in a tobacco plant that contains 95% less nicotine than traditional tobacco plants.

Our extensive patent portfolio has been developed to ensure that our high-quality tobacco can be grown commercially at scale. We continue

to develop our intellectual property to ensure our ongoing leadership in the tobacco harm reduction movement.

Our

Products

We created our flagship product, the VLN® cigarette using our low nicotine tobacco, to give traditional cigarette

smokers an authentic and familiar alternative in the form of a combustible cigarette that helps them take control of their nicotine consumption.

VLN® cigarettes have 95% less nicotine compared to traditional cigarettes and have been proven to allow consumers to greatly

reduce their nicotine consumption.

FDA

Authorization and Scientific Foundation

VLN®

low nicotine combustible cigarettes were authorized in December 2021, making them the first and still the only combustible cigarettes

authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration specifically to help reduce nicotine consumption.

Decades

of independent clinical research and peer-reviewed studies—evaluated as part of the FDA’s Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP)

authorization process—demonstrated that reducing nicotine content can decrease nicotine intake, increase quit attempts, and reduce

overall exposure to nicotine.

FDA-authorized

VLN® claims include:

● “95%

less nicotine”

● “Helps

reduce your nicotine consumption”

● “Greatly

reduces your nicotine consumption”

● “Helps

you smoke less”

VLN®

and Helps You Smoke Less® are registered trademarks of 22nd Century Limited LLC.

Cautionary

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Except

for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and assumptions contained in this press release are forward-looking

statements, including but not limited to our full year business outlook. Forward-looking statements typically contain terms such as “anticipate,”

“believe,” “consider,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,”

“explore,” “foresee,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intend,” “likely,”

“may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “preliminary,” “probable,”

“project,” “promising,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and

similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (i) our cost reduction initiatives,

(ii) our expectations regarding regulatory enforcement, including our ability to receive an exemption from new regulations, and (iii)

our financial and operating performance. Actual results might differ materially from those explicit or implicit in forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are set forth in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s

Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2026. All information provided in this release is as of the date hereof, and the Company

assumes no obligation to and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Notes

regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

addition to the Company’s reported results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of

America (“GAAP”), the Company provides EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

order to calculate EBITDA, the Company adjusts net (loss) income by adding back interest expense (income), provision (benefit) for income

taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted by the Company for certain non-cash and/or

non-operating expenses, including adding back equity-based employee compensation expense, restructuring and restructuring-related charges

such as impairment, acquisition and transaction costs, and other unusual or infrequently occurring items, if applicable, such as inventory

reserves and adjustments, master settlement agreement non-participating manufacturer settlement credits, gains or losses on disposal

of property, plant and equipment, and gains or losses on investments.

The

Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important financial measures that supplement discussion and

analysis of its financial condition and results of operations and enhances an understanding of its operating performance. While management

considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important, these financial performance measures should be considered in addition to, but not

as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating (loss)

income, net (loss) income and cash flows from operations. Adjusted EBITDA is susceptible to varying calculations and the Company’s

measurement of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to those of other companies.
