(1)Owned by an unconsolidated subsidiary.

We lease headquarters office space of about 50,000 square feet at 9201 Forest Hill Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, which we believe is adequate for our current needs.

Our tobacco business involves, among other things, storing and processing green tobacco and storing processed tobacco. We operate processing facilities in major tobacco growing areas. In addition, we require tobacco storage facilities that are in close proximity to the processing facilities. We own most of the tobacco storage facilities, but we lease additional space as needs arise. We believe that the properties currently utilized in our tobacco operations are maintained in good operating condition and are suitable and adequate for our purposes at our current volumes.

In addition to our significant properties listed above, we own other processing facilities in the following countries: Guatemala, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United States. In addition, we have an ownership interest in a processing plant in Mexico and have access to processing facilities in other areas, such as India, the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of South Africa. Socotab L.L.C., an oriental tobacco joint venture in which we own a noncontrolling interest, owns tobacco processing plants in Bulgaria, the Republic of North Macedonia, and Türkiye.

Except for the Lancaster, Pennsylvania facility, the tobacco facilities described above are engaged primarily in processing tobaccos used by manufacturers in the production of cigarettes. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania facility, as well as facilities in Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, and Paraguay, process tobaccos used in making cigar, pipe, and smokeless products, as well as components of certain “roll-your-own” products.

Ingredients Operations

Our ingredients business involves, among other things, storing and processing both fresh and dehydrated plant-based ingredients and storing processed finished goods. We operate processing facilities in three U.S. locations. We believe that the properties currently utilized in our ingredients operations are maintained in good operating condition and are suitable and adequate for our current level of business.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Universal Corporation names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Jun 1, 2026: 24 risks under these headings, as written.19

  • Operating Factors
  • In areas where we purchase leaf tobacco directly from farmers, we bear the risk that the tobacco we receive will not meet quality and quantity requirements.
  • The leaf tobacco industry is competitive, and we are heavily reliant on a few large customers.
  • Our financial results can be significantly affected by changes in the balance of supply and demand for leaf tobacco.
  • Our financial results will vary according to tobacco growing conditions, customer requirements, and other factors. These factors could also limit the ability to accurately forecast our future performance and increase the risk of an investment in our common stock or other securities.
  • Major shifts in customer requirements for leaf tobacco supply could significantly affect our operating results.
  • We may not be able to increase prices to fully offset inflationary, tariff, and other pressures on costs, such as raw products, packing materials, labor, energy, and distribution costs.
  • Weather and other conditions can affect the marketability of our products.
  • Legal, regulatory, or other market measures to address climate change could negatively affect our business operations.
  • Our plant-based ingredients business is subject to industry-specific risks which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Disruption of our supply chain for our plant-based ingredients operations could have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • We may not be successful in pursuing strategic investments or acquisitions or realize the expected benefits of those transactions because of integration difficulties and other challenges.
The other 13 risks
  • We may be adversely impacted if our information technology systems fail to perform adequately, including with respect to cybersecurity issues.
  • The inability for us to attract, develop, retain, motivate, and maintain good relationships with our workforce, including key personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our profitability.
  • We are dependent on a seasonal workforce to meet our operational needs.
  • Epidemics, pandemics, or similar widespread public health concerns could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and demand for our products and services.
  • Regulatory and Governmental Factors
  • Government efforts to regulate the production and consumption of tobacco products could have a significant impact on the businesses of our leaf tobacco customers, which would, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Government actions on the sourcing of leaf tobacco could result in increased barriers in meeting our customers’ requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our performance and results of operations.
  • We conduct a significant portion of our operations internationally, so political and economic uncertainties in particular countries could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  • Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from governments, as well as other stakeholders such as investors and customers, with respect to our sustainability considerations may impose additional costs on us or expose us to additional risks.
  • Changes in tax laws in the countries where we do business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Financial Factors
  • Failure of our customers or suppliers to repay extensions of credit could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Low investment performance by our defined benefit pension plan assets and changes in pension plan valuation assumptions could increase our pension expense and could require us to fund a larger portion of our pension obligations, thus diverting funds from other potential uses.

Legal proceedings

Some of our subsidiaries are involved in litigation or legal matters incidental to their business activities. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we are vigorously defending the matters and do not currently expect that any of them will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to our current expectation, the effect on our results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material. For additional information regarding litigation and other legal matters to which we are a party, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” (“Item 8”), which is incorporated by reference into this Item.
