What's Driving UVV's Business? Latest 10-K Breakdown

✓ 28/28 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from UNIVERSAL CORP /VA/'s 10-K filed 2026-06-01 — FY2026 (year ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Universal Corporation reported $2.9B in consolidated revenues with $168.5M operating income, down 28% YoY due to $41.1M goodwill impairment at Shank's and $52.0M inventory write-downs on oversupplied dark air-cured tobacco.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $2.9B-1% YoY

Tobacco Operations$2,576.4M-1% YoY

2% decline in both tobacco sales volumes and average tobacco sales prices, partially offset by increased third-party processing revenues.

Ingredients Operations$348.1M+3% YoY

Increased sales volumes despite persistent market headwinds, tariff impacts, and broader softness in consumer-packaged-goods sector.

Largest Expense Items

Cost of goods sold$2,412.5M+1% YoY

$32.2M increase in inventory write-downs, primarily dark air-cured tobacco, partially offset by lower tobacco prices.

Goodwill impairment$41.1MN/A

Non-cash impairment charge for Universal Ingredients–Shank's due to lower internal profitability projections from persistent adverse market conditions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses$300.7M-2% YoY

$8.8M lower sales commissions, $5.1M lower compensation costs, $3.5M favorable foreign currency comparisons, offset by $4.3M lower recoveries on supplier advances.

Margins: Gross profit margin contracted 110 basis points to 17.5% from 18.6%, driven by inventory write-downs and inventory mix. The company faced oversupply in flue-cured and burley tobaccos, with industry uncommitted inventories rising from 22M kilos to 169M kilos year-over-year.

Watch Items from the Filing

Three largest customers (Philip Morris, Imperial Brands, Japan Tobacco) accounted for approximately 60% of consolidated revenues; Philip Morris alone contributed $620M (~21% of revenue).
Tobacco inventories increased $26M to $832.4M; uncommitted tobacco inventory jumped to $222.3M (27% of total) from $164M (20%), indicating delayed customer commitments outside target range of 80%+ committed inventory.
Flue-cured and burley tobaccos estimated to remain in oversupply positions in FY2027 despite projected production decreases, with FY2027 flue-cured production down 3% and burley down 16% expected.
Inventory write-downs surged to $52.0M in FY2026 from $19.8M in FY2025, driven by softer customer demand for dark air-cured tobacco and longer sales cycles; Ingredients Operations recorded additional $8.6M write-downs at Shank's operation.
Tariffs and retaliatory measures announced in 2025–2026 create uncertainty; the company noted inability to fully offset cost increases may require absorbing higher supply chain costs.
