Supreme Reports 180% Increase in Profits and 63% Revenue Growth
UK consumer goods manufacturer and supplier Supreme reported a 180% increase in pre-tax profit for the six months ending September 30, reaching £12.3m, and a 63% increase in revenue to £105.1m.

According to Zonebourse, Supreme, a consumer goods manufacturer and supplier based in Manchester, UK, reported on November 28th that the company's pre-tax profit for the six months ending on September 30th was £12.3 million, an increase of 180% compared to £4.4 million last year. The company also recorded a revenue of £105.1 million, a 63% increase from £64.6 million last year.

 

According to the latest report from Supreme PLC, the revenue of its e-cigarette brand division has experienced a significant increase, reaching £30.6 million. This accounts for 86% of the total revenue of the division for the first half of this year, showing a substantial growth compared to last year's £3.4 million. Within this division, ELFBAR has played a major role, contributing £26.4 million in revenue, which equates to 25.1% of the company's total revenue.

 

Supreme emphasized that while it does not manufacture or own ELFBAR, it has signed a distribution agreement with them. The company clearly stated that the introduction of ELFBAR has not had a significant impact on the profit margins in this category. Looking ahead, Supreme stated that the second half of the year has been performing well, with all departments showing a growth trend.

 

The projected revenue for the fiscal year 2024 is expected to be between £210 million and £225 million, showing an improvement from the March forecast of £195 million to £205 million. This represents a growth of at least 61% compared to the £130.8 million revenue generated in the fiscal year 2023.

Couche-Tard Posts Double-Digit U.S. Same-Store Growth in Other Nicotine Products, Led by Pouches
Couche-Tard Posts Double-Digit U.S. Same-Store Growth in Other Nicotine Products, Led by Pouches
Alimentation Couche-Tard said U.S. same-store sales in its “other nicotine products” category grew at a double-digit rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, led by nicotine pouches, while overall U.S. same-store merchandise revenues increased 1.7%. The company also said its Canadian nicotine business continued to face regulatory pressure and illicit-market headwinds. The U.S. performance coincides with Couche-Tard's participation in efforts to reopen Canadian convenience-store access to authorized nicotine pouches, though the company has not established a direct causal link between the two.

Australia’s TGA Places Nicotine Pouches Under Therapeutic Goods Rules From July 24, Blocking Imports of Unapproved Products
Australia is strengthening controls on nicotine pouches under its existing therapeutic goods regulatory framework. According to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), nicotine pouch products must meet regulatory requirements, and unapproved products cannot be legally imported. The move follows Australia’s broader approach of maintaining strict oversight of nicotine products, including nicotine-containing vapes. As nicotine pouches expand globally, Australia’s regulatory approach highlights growing differences in how countries manage emerging smoke-free nicotine products.

U.S. Ninth Circuit Upholds FDA Denial of MH Global’s Flavored Vape PMTA Applications
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the FDA’s denial of MH Global LLC’s applications to market flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The court ruled that FDA’s comparative-efficacy framework, which requires applicants to show that flavored products provide greater cessation or switching benefits than tobacco-flavored alternatives, is consistent with the Tobacco Control Act’s “appropriate for the protection of the public health” standard. The court also found that FDA was not required to establish the framework through notice-and-comment rulemaking.

How Large Is France’s Off-Channel Tobacco Market? Logista Says It Has Become Structural, While the Official Estimate Is 17.7% and Some Industry Studies Put It Above 50%
Logista France says tobacco consumption outside France’s official tobacconist network has become a large and structural market phenomenon, but official and industry estimates differ sharply. France’s TAFE study estimates that 17.7% of tobacco consumption escaped domestic taxation in 2023, with most of that volume attributed to cross-border purchasing rather than street sales. Some industry studies use broader off-channel definitions and put the figure above 50%. Meanwhile, French Customs seized 547.94 tonnes of tobacco in 2025, up 12%, showing continued pressure from illicit trade.
