E-cigarette Maker Juul Labs seeks $1 billion in funding
US e-cigarette manufacturer JUUL is reportedly seeking $1 billion in financing, according to insider sources.

According to a Reuters report on August 2, informed sources have revealed that US e-cigarette manufacturer JUUL is seeking funding of approximately $1 billion. It is reported that JUUL's revenue is estimated to be around $800 million in 2022.

 

JUUL announced in July last year that they were in the early stages of exploring various options, including alternative financing solutions, with the aim of safeguarding their business and facilitating the refinancing of existing loans. This comes as they face legal challenges associated with e-cigarette marketing.

 

In November of last year, JUUL managed to secure funds from some early investors to sustain its operations. At the same time, the company made the decision to lay off around 400 employees and reduce its operating budget. Altria was previously one of its investors.

 

According to reports, JUUL is reportedly collaborating with Jefferies Financial Group Inc, a comprehensive investment bank and capital market company, for fundraising purposes.

 

As of now, both Juul and Jefferies have not immediately responded to Reuters' request for comments.

Special Report|Reynolds’ 337 Patent Case Ends, but a Harsher 337 Compliance Battle Now Targets the Entire Vape Supply Chain
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has terminated Investigation 337-TA-1410 after invalidating key vape patent claims asserted by R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company, removing the immediate risk of import bans for dozens of companies. However, a new case—337-TA-1486—has already opened a more consequential legal front, shifting the focus from patent disputes to regulatory compliance across the vape supply chain, including PACT Act reporting, tax compliance, and FDA marketing authorization.
