Kaival Brands (NASDAQ:KAVL) and Phillip Morris International (NYSE:PM) Revise Agreement for Distribution of ENDS Products

Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc. (NASDAQ:KAVL) has made its name in recent times as the exclusive distributor of products manufactured by BIDI Vapor LLC. The products include the BIDI Stick electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS), which is meant for adults aged 21 or over. Late Thursday, the company made amendments to the agreement it had in place with its fully owned Phillip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:PM) affiliate, Phillip Morris Products SA. The agreement pertains to the distribution and development of ENDS products in markets other than the United States. 

KAVL stock reacted positively after the news and surged over 5% in after-hours on high volume. The Chief Executive Officer of Kaival Brands Innovations, Eric Mosser, spoke about the background of the decision. He noted that after an operational history of more than a year and due to the changes in the regulatory climate in the different international markets, the management realized that there were a number of fresh opportunities due to which the original licensing agreement could be amended. 

The changes would also help lessen the burden of administering the agreed-upon deal. Mosser noted that the company had been able to reach an agreement with regard to amendments. He went on to state that, due to these amendments, there would be savings to the tune of $2.7 million during the entire tenure of the deal. That would also help the company have more predictability and, thereby, the ability to make more accurate projections. 

He added that the speeding up of the royalty payments due to Kaival Brands Innovations would also be a positive for the company since it would boost its financial performance. Following the amendment, the company is expected to get a reconciliation payment to the tune of around $135,000. Additionally, Kaival Brands Innovations also projected that it would receive around $300,000 more in royalty payments up until the end of this year.
