General Information

The foregoing data has been prepared from the unaudited financial records of Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. (the “Company”). In the opinion of Management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, and necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been reflected. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

Results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year to end December 31, 2022 because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s operations. Historically, the third quarter has been the Company’s largest net product sales quarter due to pre-Halloween net product sales.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the recent novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. The Company continues to actively monitor COVID-19 and its potential impact on our operations and financial results. The impact that COVID-19 will have on our consolidated financial statements throughout 2022 and beyond remains uncertain and ultimately will be dictated by the length and severity of the pandemic and Covid-19 variants, the pace of the “reopening” of the economy and economic recovery, and federal, state, local and foreign government actions taken in response. The effects of Covid-19 pandemic are unprecedented, and therefore the Company is unable to determine its effects on its net product sales and net earnings for the balance of 2022 and beyond.

The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606.

Royalty income from sales-based licensing arrangements, pursuant to which revenue is recognized as the third-party licensee sales occur,and rental income are not considered revenue from contracts from customers and are presented separately from net product revenue as rental and royalty revenue.

Leases

The Company identifies leases by evaluating its contracts to determine if the contract conveys the right to use an identified asset for a stated period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company considers whether it can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. Leases with terms greater than 12 months are classified as either operating or finance leases at the commencement date. For these leases, we record the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term as a lease liability with an offsetting right-of-use asset that is then presented net of any deferred rent or lease

incentives. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments is typically our incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not known or determinable. The lease term includes any noncancelable period for which the Company has the right to use the asset as well as any future periods to which the Company has the right and intent to extend the lease under the terms of the lease agreement. Currently, all capitalized leases are classified as operating leases and the Company records rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
