ALTRIA REPORTS 2022 SECOND-QUARTER AND FIRST-HALF RESULTS;
REAFFIRMS 2022 FULL-YEAR EARNINGS GUIDANCE


RICHMOND, Va. - July 28, 2022 - Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) today reports its 2022 second-quarter and first-half business results and reaffirms its guidance for 2022 full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS).
“Our tobacco businesses performed well in a challenging macroeconomic environment for the first half of the year,” said Billy Gifford, Altria’s Chief Executive Officer. “The smokeable products segment delivered solid operating companies income growth behind the resilience of Marlboro, and our moist smokeless tobacco brands continued to drive profitability. We also continued to make progress toward our Vision through the investments we laid out in January, which included supporting the expansion of on!. We are encouraged by on!’s retail momentum and significant share growth since achieving unconstrained capacity last summer.”

“We believe this is a pivotal point in the U.S. tobacco industry. The FDA has the opportunity to create a mature, regulated marketplace of smoke-free products that can successfully realize tobacco harm reduction and improve the lives of millions of adult smokers. We share the FDA’s goal to transition adult smokers away from cigarettes, but we continue to believe that harm reduction, not prohibition, is the best path forward.”

“Our financial plans for the year remain on track, and we reaffirm our guidance to deliver 2022 full-year adjusted diluted EPS in a range of $4.79 to $4.93. This range represents an adjusted diluted EPS growth rate of 4% to 7% from a $4.61 base in 2021.”

Cash Returns to Shareholders and Capital Markets Activity
Share Repurchase Program
In the second quarter, we repurchased 10.1 million shares at an average price of $50.35, for a total cost of $507 million.
In the first half, we repurchased 21.4 million shares at an average price of $50.53, for a total cost of approximately $1.1 billion.
As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $750 million remaining under our existing $3.5 billion share repurchase program, which we expect to complete by December 31, 2022. Share repurchases depend on marketplace conditions and other factors, and the program remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors (Board).
Dividends
We paid dividends of approximately $1.6 billion in the second quarter and approximately $3.3 billion in the first half.
Our current annualized dividend rate is $3.60 per share, representing a dividend yield of 8.2% as of July 25, 2022.
We maintain our long-term objective of a dividend payout ratio target of approximately 80% of our adjusted diluted EPS. Future dividend payments remain subject to the discretion of our Board.
Capital Markets Activity
In August, we expect to retire $1.1 billion of notes coming due with available cash.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Our Corporate Responsibility Focus Areas are (i) reduce the harm of tobacco products, (ii) prevent underage use, (iii) protect the environment, (iv) drive responsibility through our value chain, (v) support our people and communities and (vi) engage and lead responsibly. Our corporate responsibility reports are available on the Corporate Responsibility section of www.altria.com.
Most recently, we published the following responsibility reports:
2021 Engage and Lead Responsibly report;
2021 Focus Area Snapshots;
Focus Areas Governance & Frameworks report, which summarizes governance practices, policies and frameworks used to manage our responsibility focus areas;
ESG Data Tables, which provide full-year data and developments across our key ESG metrics; and
2021 Lobbying and Political Activity Transparency & Integrity report.
In June, we were recognized as one of the most community-minded businesses by the national service organization, Points of Light, in its 2022 Civic 50 recognition. This is our tenth consecutive year of recognition for our commitment to supporting communities and advancing social causes.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions Impacting Our Businesses
Impact on Tobacco Business Operations
We continue to monitor the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape. High rates of inflation continued in the second quarter of 2022, driven by increasing global energy, commodity and food prices, which were further exacerbated by other factors, including supply and demand imbalances, labor shortages and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While not material to date, high inflation adversely impacted our Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) expense and other direct and indirect costs.
Volatility in domestic and global economies and disruptions in the supply and distribution chains continued in the second quarter of 2022, resulting from several factors, including the on-going impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While our operating companies focus on the manufacture and sale of tobacco products in the U.S. and have little direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine, we have experienced negative effects on the cost and availability of certain raw materials and component parts for our products.
2


To date, we have not experienced any material adverse effects on our businesses. However, as these trends and developments evolve and new ones emerge, we will continue to evaluate the potential impacts on our businesses and our Vision.
Impact on Adult Tobacco Consumers (ATCs)
ATCs continue to face challenges from high inflation, high gas prices, rising interest rates, the COVID-19 pandemic and the end of federal government stimulus, which have impacted ATC disposable income, resulting in volume declines across the tobacco space during the second quarter. However, we believe that ATCs adapted their purchasing patterns across a variety of goods and services to compensate for the pressures on disposable income. We continue to monitor the effect of these dynamics on ATCs and their purchasing behaviors, including overall tobacco product expenditures, mix between premium and discount brand purchases and adoption of smoke-free products.
Impact on ABI Investment
ABI’s business also continues to be impacted by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. ABI has been impacted by supply chain constraints across certain markets, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, inflation and commodity cost headwinds. ABI has a joint venture with exposure to Russia and Ukraine, which it fully impaired in the first quarter of 2022 and has announced plans to sell. Additionally, the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors have contributed to significant changes in certain foreign exchange rates, including the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate, resulting in the fair value of our investment in ABI declining below its carrying value at June 30, 2022. Despite these headwinds, ABI has delivered consistent business and earnings performance over the past several quarters, demonstrating its ability to continue to execute its strategies and navigate challenges. While we believe that the decline in fair value is temporary, we will continue to monitor our investment in ABI, including the impact on ABI’s business, resulting from supply chain challenges, inflation, foreign exchange rates and market valuation.
JUUL Investment Update
In June 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued marketing denial orders (MDOs) to JUUL ordering all of JUUL’s products currently marketed in the U.S. off the market.
In July 2022, the FDA administratively stayed the MDOs on a temporary basis, citing its determination that there are scientific issues unique to the JUUL pre-market tobacco product applications that warrant additional agency review. This administrative stay temporarily suspends the MDOs and JUUL’s products currently remain on the market.
In the second quarter of 2022, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax unrealized loss of $1.2 billion as a result of a decrease in the estimated fair value of our investment in JUUL. The decrease in the estimated fair value was primarily driven by (i) a decrease in the likelihood of a favorable outcome from the FDA for JUUL’s products that are currently marketed in the U.S., which have received MDOs and are now under additional administrative review, (ii) a decrease in the likelihood of JUUL maintaining adequate liquidity to fund projected cash needs, which could result in JUUL seeking protection under bankruptcy or other insolvency law, and (iii) projections of higher operating expenses resulting in lower long-term operating margins. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of our investment in JUUL was $450 million.
Under the terms of our relationship agreement with JUUL, we have the option to be released from our non-compete obligations if (i) JUUL is prohibited by federal law from selling e-vapor products in the U.S. for a continuous period of at least 12 months (subject to tolling of this period in certain circumstances), (ii) if our carrying value of the JUUL investment is not more than 10% of the initial carrying value of $12.8 billion or (iii) if we are no longer providing JUUL services as of December 20, 2024. However, if we elect to be released from our non-compete obligations, we would lose our board designation rights (other than the right to appoint one independent director so long as our ownership continues to be at least 10%), preemptive rights, consent rights and certain other rights with respect to our investment in JUUL, and our JUUL shares would be converted to single vote common stock, which would result in a significant reduction in our voting power. At this time, we continue to believe that these investment rights are beneficial to us. Therefore, we have not opted to be released from our non-compete obligations at this time, but we retain the option to do so in the future in accordance with our relationship agreement with JUUL.
3


We continue to believe that e-vapor products, including JUUL, can play an important role in tobacco harm reduction.

2022 Full-Year Guidance
We reaffirm our guidance to deliver 2022 full-year adjusted diluted EPS in a range of $4.79 to $4.93, representing a growth rate of 4% to 7% from an adjusted diluted EPS base of $4.61 in 2021. While the 2022 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance accounts for a range of scenarios, the external environment remains dynamic. We will continue to monitor conditions related to (i) the economy, including the impact of increased inflation, rising interest rates and global supply chain disruptions, (ii) the impact of current and future COVID-19 variants and mitigation strategies, (iii) ATC dynamics, including tobacco usage occasions, available disposable income, purchasing patterns and adoption of smoke-free products, (iv) regulatory and legislative developments and (v) the impacts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Our 2022 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range includes planned investments in support of our Vision, such as (i) enhancement of our digital consumer engagement system, (ii) increased smoke-free product research, development and regulatory preparation expenses and (iii) marketplace activities in support of our smoke-free products. The guidance range also includes anticipated inflationary increases in MSA expenses and direct and indirect materials costs and our current expectation that PM USA will not have access to the IQOS system in 2022.
Our full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range excludes the impact of certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations. These items may include, for example, loss on early extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, acquisition-related and disposition-related costs, equity investment-related special items (including any changes in fair value of our equity investment recorded using the fair value option and any changes in the fair value of related warrants and preemptive rights), certain income tax items, charges associated with tobacco and health and certain other litigation items, and resolutions of certain non-participating manufacturer (NPM) adjustment disputes under the MSA (such dispute resolutions are referred to as NPM Adjustment Items). See Table 1 below for the income and expense items for the first six months of 2022.
Our management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of certain income and expense items, including those items noted in the preceding paragraph, on our reported diluted EPS because these items, which could be significant, may be unusual or infrequent, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. As a result, we do not provide a corresponding U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure for, or reconciliation to, our adjusted diluted EPS guidance.

ALTRIA GROUP, INC.
See Basis of Presentation below for an explanation of financial measures and reporting segments discussed in this release.
Financial Performance
Second Quarter
Net revenues decreased 5.7% to $6.5 billion, primarily driven by lower net revenues in the smokeable products segment, the sale of our wine business in October 2021 and lower net revenues in the oral tobacco products segment. Revenues net of excise taxes decreased 4.3% to $5.4 billion.
Reported diluted EPS decreased 57.8% to $0.49, primarily driven by unfavorable results from our equity investments, substantially all of which related to the changes in the estimated fair value of our investment in JUUL (including the corresponding adjustment for a tax valuation allowance) and lower reported operating companies income (OCI), partially offset by the loss on Cronos-related financial instruments in 2021 and fewer shares outstanding.
Adjusted diluted EPS increased 2.4% to $1.26, driven by fewer shares outstanding.
First Half
Net revenues decreased 4.1% to $12.4 billion, primarily driven by the sale of our wine business in October 2021 and lower net revenues in the smokeable and oral tobacco products segments. Revenues net of excise taxes decreased 2.9% to $10.2 billion.
Reported diluted EPS decreased 18.7% to $1.57, primarily driven by unfavorable results from our equity investments, substantially all of which related to the changes in the estimated fair value of our investment in JUUL (including the corresponding adjustment for a tax valuation allowance), partially offset by 2021 losses on early extinguishment of debt, fewer shares outstanding, higher reported OCI and favorable interest expense.
Adjusted diluted EPS increased 3.5% to $2.38, primarily driven by fewer shares outstanding, higher adjusted OCI and favorable interest expense.

This service tracks sales in the food, drug, mass merchandisers, convenience, military, dollar store and club trade classes. For other trade classes selling cigarettes, retail share is based on shipments from wholesalers to retailers (STARS). This service is not designed to capture sales through other channels, including the internet, direct mail and some illicitly tax-advantaged outlets. It is IRI’s standard practice to periodically refresh its services, which could restate retail share results that were previously released in this service.

In the oral tobacco products segment, macroeconomic pressures on ATC disposable income resulted in share declines for MST products, which declines were partially offset by the share growth of oral nicotine pouches.
Total U.S. oral tobacco category share for on! nicotine pouches grew to 4.9%, an increase of 2.9 percentage points.
Copenhagen is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year. We are extremely proud of Copenhagen’s long history and the fantastic employees who have supported the brand over the years. To honor this impressive milestone, we have introduced Cope Rewards, the first and only national rewards program for an MST brand. Under the program, dippers can earn points by entering codes from their Copenhagen cans and can redeem them for coupons or rewards. We are excited about Cope Rewards and its potential contributions to Copenhagen’s sustained leadership in MST.

Note: The oral tobacco products retail share results exclude international volume. Retail share results for oral tobacco products are based on data from IRI InfoScan, a tracking service that uses a sample of stores to project market share and depict share trends. This service tracks sales in the food, drug, mass merchandisers, convenience, military, dollar store and club trade classes on the number of cans and packs sold. Oral tobacco products is defined by IRI as moist smokeless, snus and oral nicotine pouches. New types of oral tobacco products, as well as new packaging configurations of existing oral tobacco products, may or may not be equivalent to existing MST products on a can-for-can basis. For example, one pack of snus or one can of oral nicotine pouches, irrespective of the number of pouches in the pack, is assumed to be equivalent to one can of MST. Because this service represents retail share performance only in key trade channels, it should not be considered a precise measurement of actual retail share. It is IRI’s standard practice to periodically refresh its InfoScan services, which could restate retail share results that were previously released in this service.

Basis of Presentation
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Our management reviews OCI, which is defined as operating income before general corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, our segments. Our management also reviews certain financial results, including OCI, OCI margins and diluted EPS, on an adjusted basis, which excludes certain income and expense items, including those items noted under “2022 Full-Year Guidance.” Our management does not view any of these special items to be part of our underlying results as they may be highly variable, may be unusual or infrequent, are difficult to predict and can distort underlying business trends and results. Our management also reviews income tax rates on an adjusted basis. Our adjusted effective tax rate may exclude certain income tax items from our reported effective tax rate. Our management believes that adjusted financial measures provide useful additional insight into underlying business trends and results, and provide a more meaningful comparison of year-over-year results. Our management uses adjusted financial measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets. These adjusted financial measures are not required by, or calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be calculated the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. These adjusted financial measures should thus be considered as supplemental in nature and not considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We provide reconciliations of historical adjusted financial measures to corresponding GAAP measures in this release.
We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in ABI and Cronos and report our share of ABI’s and Cronos’s results using a one-quarter lag because ABI’s and Cronos’s results are not available in time for us to record them in the concurrent period. The one-quarter reporting lag for ABI and Cronos does not affect our cash flows.
Our reportable segments are (i) smokeable products, including combustible cigarettes and cigars manufactured and sold by PM USA and Middleton, respectively, and (ii) oral tobacco products, including MST and snus products manufactured and sold by USSTC, and oral nicotine pouches sold by Helix. Prior to the sale of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates Ltd. (Ste. Michelle) on October 1, 2021, wine produced and/or sold by Ste. Michelle was a reportable segment. We have included results for innovative tobacco products and Philip Morris Capital Corporation in “All Other.” Comparisons are to the corresponding prior-year period unless otherwise stated.

government (including the FDA) and private sector actions that impact adult tobacco consumer acceptability of, or access to, tobacco products;
tobacco product taxation, including lower tobacco product consumption levels and potential shifts in adult tobacco consumer purchases as a result of federal, state and local excise tax increases, and excise taxes on e-vapor and oral nicotine products and the impact on adult tobacco consumers’ transition to lower priced tobacco products;
unfavorable outcomes of any government investigations of us or our investees;
a successful challenge to our tax positions, an increase to the corporate income tax rate or other changes to federal or state tax laws;
the risks related to our and our investees’ international business operations, including failure to prevent violations of various United States and foreign laws and regulations such as foreign privacy laws and laws prohibiting bribery and corruption;
the risks associated with health epidemics and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic and similar outbreaks, such as their impact on our and our investees’ ability to continue manufacturing and distributing products (directly or indirectly due to their impact on suppliers, distributors and distribution chain service providers) and their impact on macroeconomic conditions and, in turn, adult tobacco consumer purchasing behavior;
the failure of our and our investees’ efforts to compete effectively in their respective markets;
the growth of the e-vapor category and other innovative tobacco products, including oral nicotine pouches, contributing to reductions in cigarette and MST consumption levels and sales volume;
our ability to promote brand equity successfully; anticipate and respond to evolving adult tobacco consumer preferences; develop, manufacture, market and distribute products that appeal to adult tobacco consumers; promote productivity; and protect or enhance margins through cost savings and price increases;
our unsuccessful commercialization of innovative products or processes, including innovative tobacco products that may reduce the health risks associated with cigarettes and other traditional tobacco products, and that appeal to adult tobacco consumers;
changes, including in macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions (including inflation), that result in shifts in adult tobacco consumer disposable income and purchasing behavior, including choosing lower-priced and discount brands;
significant changes in price, availability or quality of tobacco, other raw materials or component parts, including as a result of changes in macroeconomic, climate and geopolitical conditions, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine;
the risks, including FDA regulatory risks, related to our and our investees’ reliance on a few significant facilities and a small number of key suppliers, distributors and distribution chain service providers, and
14


the risk of an extended disruption at a facility of, or of service by, a supplier, distributor or distribution chain service provider of our tobacco subsidiaries or our investees;
required or voluntary product recalls or prohibition on the marketing or sale of our or any of our investees’ products as a result of various circumstances such as FDA or other regulatory action or product contamination;
the failure of our information systems or the information systems of key suppliers or service providers to function as intended, or cyber attacks or security breaches;
our inability to attract and retain the best talent due to the impact of decreasing social acceptance of tobacco usage, tobacco control actions and other factors, including current labor market dynamics;
impairment losses as a result of the write down of intangible assets, including goodwill;
the adverse effect of acquisitions, investments, dispositions or other events on our credit rating;
our inability to acquire attractive businesses or make attractive investments on favorable terms, or at all, or to realize the anticipated benefits from an acquisition or investment and our inability to dispose of businesses or investments on favorable terms or at all;
the risks related to disruption and uncertainty in the credit and capital markets, including risk of losing access to these markets, which may adversely affect our earnings or dividend rate or both;
our inability to attract and retain investors due to the impact of decreasing social acceptance of tobacco usage or unfavorable ESG ratings;
the risk that any challenge to our investment in JUUL, if successful, could result in a broad range of resolutions, including divestiture of the investment or rescission of the transaction;
the risks generally related to our investments in JUUL and Cronos, including our inability to realize the expected benefits of our investments in the expected time frames, or at all, due to the risks encountered by our investees in their businesses, such as operational, competitive, compliance, litigation and reputational risks, and legislative and regulatory risks at the international, federal, state and local levels; and changes in the fair value of our investment in JUUL and impairment of our investment in Cronos;
the risks related to our inability to acquire a controlling interest in JUUL as a result of standstill restrictions or to control the material decisions of JUUL, restrictions on our ability to sell or otherwise transfer our shares of JUUL until December 20, 2024, and non-competition restrictions for the same time period subject to certain exceptions;
the risks associated with our investment in ABI, including effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign currency exchange rates and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, on ABI’s business and the impact on our earnings from, and carrying value of, our investment in ABI;
the risks related to our ownership percentage in ABI decreasing below certain levels, including additional tax liabilities, a reduction in the number of directors that we have the right to have appointed to the ABI board of directors and our potential inability to use the equity method of accounting for our investment in ABI;
the risk of a successful challenge to the tax treatment of our equity investment in ABI; and
the risks, including criminal, civil or tax liability, related to our or Cronos’s failure to comply with applicable laws, including cannabis laws.
We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not complete and we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that we may make except as required by applicable law.
