    Vector Group Ltd. (NYSE:VGR) today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

    “Vector Group delivered record tobacco quarterly revenues in the third quarter as we continued to capitalize on favorable market opportunities to substantially increase value and market share,” said Howard M. Lorber, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vector Group Ltd. “Driven by the significant growth of our price-fighting Montego brand, Liggett’s wholesale market share in the third quarter was 5.7%, which is its highest market share since 1984. We have begun to gradually shift our growth strategy of Montego, which is now the second-largest discount brand in the United States, from volume-based to profit-based. As we move forward, we will continue to focus on optimizing long-term profit through the effective management of volume, pricing, and market share growth.”

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Operating Income, Tobacco Adjusted Operating Income, Tobacco Adjusted EBITDA, and financial measures for the last twelve months (“LTM”) ended September 30, 2022 (“the Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) are financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures are important measures that supplement discussions and analysis of its results of operations and enhances an understanding of its operating performance. The Company believes the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.

    Management uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures as measures to review and assess operating performance of the Company’s business, and management does and investors should review both the overall performance (GAAP net income) and the operating performance (the Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of the Company’s business. While management considers the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to be important, they should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income and cash flows from operations. In addition, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures are susceptible to varying calculations and the Company’s measurement of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to those of other companies. Attached hereto as Tables 2 through 6 is information relating to the Company’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the last twelve months ended September 30, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
