Kaival Group Releases Report on Increased Revenue in 2022 Q3
US e-cigarette company Kaival reported Q3 revenue of $3.8m, up from $3.2m YoY, due to a court decision in August.

US e-cigarette company Kaival Group recently released a report stating that its revenue for the third quarter of the 2022 fiscal year was $3.8 million, up from $3.2 million for the same period last year. Its gross profit was $442,100, compared to a loss of $84,300 for the same period last year.


Kaval Group attributes a portion of its increased revenue to a court ruling in August that put on hold the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) marketing denial order for the company's non-tobacco flavored Bidi Stick e-cigarette. The US appeals court found that the FDA did not adequately consider Kaval's marketing and access restrictions plan and ordered further review of the company's pre-market tobacco product application while allowing it to continue selling its product.


Eric Mose, President and Chief Operating Officer of Kewal Group, has announced that the company is partnering with Fimo International to sell their products in global markets.

Indiana Halts Sales of Elf Bar, Lost Mary, MR FOG and iJOY Vapes Under Foreign-Adversary Rules; Some Products Return After Compliance Filings
Indiana's Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC) ordered tobacco certificate holders in September to remove certain vaping products marketed under Elf Bar, Lost Mary, MR FOG, iJOY and other brands from inventory under the state's foreign-adversary product law. The agency later listed 257 MR FOG products and 77 Lost Mary product entries as lawful for sale. The Lost Mary revision expressly stated that compliance evidence had been received for 20 additional products. 2Firsts compliance expert Kurt said potential filings could include e-liquid and ingredient-origin records, U.S. nicotine-analog supply-chain documentation and FDA premarket application status.
