ALTRIA REPORTS 2021 SECOND-QUARTER AND FIRST-HALF RESULTS;
NARROWS 2021 FULL-YEAR EARNINGS GUIDANCE


RICHMOND, Va. - July 29, 2021 - Altria Group, Inc. (Altria) (NYSE: MO) today reports its 2021 second-quarter and first-half business results and narrows its 2021 full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) guidance.
“Altria delivered outstanding results in the second quarter, thanks to the continued strength of our tobacco businesses and the hard work of our highly talented employees,” said Billy Gifford, Altria’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our teams have continued their commitment to Moving Beyond SmokingTM by deepening their understanding of adult tobacco consumer preferences, expanding the awareness and availability of our smoke-free product portfolio, and amplifying our voice on harm reduction within the scientific and public health communities.”
“With our strong financial performance in the first half, we have raised the lower end of our full-year 2021 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range and now expect full-year adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $4.56 to $4.62, representing a growth rate of 4.5% to 6% from a $4.36 base in 2020. This updated guidance reflects continued confidence in our tobacco businesses, investments in smoke-free products and the expected impact of the recently announced agreement to sell our Ste. Michelle Wine Estates business.”

Cash Returns to Shareholders and Capital Markets Activity
Dividends
In the second quarter, Altria paid $1.6 billion in dividends.
Altria’s current annualized dividend rate is $3.44 per share, representing a dividend yield of 7.2% as of July 26, 2021.
Altria maintains its long-term objective of a dividend payout ratio target of approximately 80% of its adjusted diluted EPS. Future dividend payments remain subject to the discretion of Altria’s Board of Directors (Board).
Share Repurchase Program
In the second quarter, Altria repurchased 6.6 million shares at an average price of $49.21, for a total cost of $325 million.
In the first half, Altria repurchased 13.5 million shares at an average price of $48.09, for a total cost of $650 million.
As of June 30, 2021, Altria had $1.35 billion remaining under its existing $2 billion share repurchase program, which Altria expects to complete by June 30, 2022. Share repurchases depend on marketplace conditions and other factors, and the program remains subject to the discretion of Altria’s Board.
Debt Maturity
In May, Altria repaid $1.5 billion of its senior unsecured notes.
Smoke-free Products Business Platform
Heated Tobacco
In the second quarter, PM USA expanded IQOS and Marlboro HeatSticks (i) into retail stores statewide across Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina and (ii) to the Northern Virginia metro market. To support the expansion, PM USA opened an IQOS boutique in the Tysons Corner Mall, a center point for the area.
In the second quarter, Marlboro HeatSticks retail sales volume increased by nearly 40% sequentially, primarily driven by expanded distribution in retail stores.
In the second quarter, the cigarette category retail share for Marlboro HeatSticks in stores with distribution was (i) 0.8% in Atlanta, a decrease of 0.3% sequentially, and (ii) 0.5% in Charlotte, a decrease of 0.5% sequentially. The sequential share losses were primarily driven by the reallocation of promotional and commercialization resources in these markets to Northern Virginia. With a full range of marketing tools, Marlboro HeatSticks achieved a cigarette category retail share of 1.1% in Northern Virginia stores with distribution for the last four weeks of the second quarter.
In May 2021, in the IQOS heated tobacco system proceedings, an International Trade Commission (ITC) Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) found that the IQOS system infringes two of the plaintiff’s patents and recommended imposition of a ban on the importation of the IQOS system. In July 2021, the ITC accepted review of the ALJ’s findings and recommendations on certain issues, including issues relating to the patent infringement claims and potential remedies, including a ban on the importation of the IQOS electronic device, Marlboro HeatSticks and component parts into the United States and on the sale of any such products previously imported into the United States. The ITC’s ultimate order is subject to review by the U.S. Trade Representative and federal court. Due to this uncertainty, PM USA has delayed further expansion of IQOS and Marlboro HeatSticks.
2


Oral Tobacco
In the second quarter, Helix achieved unconstrained on! manufacturing capacity for the U.S. market. Helix plans to further increase on! capacity ahead of expected demand.
As of June 30, 2021, Helix had broadened the U.S distribution of on! to approximately 105,000 stores, representing approximately 80% of total U.S. industry oral tobacco volume and 70% of U.S. cigarette volume.
Total U.S oral tobacco category share for on! was 2.0% in the second quarter, an increase of 0.3% sequentially.
Agreement to Sell Ste. Michelle Wine Estates
In July, Altria announced that its subsidiary, UST LLC, entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Ste. Michelle Wine Estates business to Sycamore Partners Management, L.P (Sycamore Partners) in an all-cash transaction for a purchase price of approximately $1.2 billion and the assumption of certain Ste. Michelle liabilities (Ste. Michelle Transaction).
Altria’s net cash proceeds will be subject to customary net working capital and other adjustments at closing.
Altria expects the Ste. Michelle Transaction to close during the second half of 2021, subject to Sycamore Partners obtaining the necessary financing and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including antitrust regulatory clearance.
Altria expects to record a charge on the Ste. Michelle Transaction and related disposition items, which it does not anticipate being material to Altria, in the second half of 2021. Altria intends to treat these amounts as special items and exclude them from its adjusted diluted earnings per share. Altria does not expect to account for the results of Ste. Michelle as discontinued operations.
Altria expects to use the net proceeds from the Ste. Michelle Transaction for additional share repurchases. Altria’s existing share repurchase authorization is limited to $2 billion; therefore, additional share repurchases in connection with the Ste. Michelle Transaction are subject to Altria’s Board approval.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Altria’s Corporate Responsibility Focus Areas are (i) reducing the harm of tobacco products, (ii) preventing underage use, (iii) protecting the environment, (iv) driving responsibility through our value chain, (v) supporting our people and communities and (vi) engaging and leading responsibly. Altria’s corporate responsibility reports can be found on the Corporate Responsibility Reports page at www.altria.com/responsibility.
In May, Altria filed its 2020 Consolidated EEO-1 report, which is available on www.altria.com. The EEO-1 report reflects data as of December 31, 2020 and is inclusive of all of Altria's operating and service companies. The report has not yet been approved by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Altria expects to provide any updates on www.altria.com once the approved consolidated report becomes available. Additionally, Altria’s Supporting Our People and Communities corporate responsibility report includes further detail on Altria’s inclusion and diversity progress.
In July, Altria released its 2020-2021 Drive Responsibility Through Our Value Chain corporate responsibility report. During the remainder of 2021, Altria intends to release two additional corporate responsibility reports that address Altria’s efforts in the areas of harm reduction, underage use prevention and the environment.
In July, Altria released its ESG Data Tables, which provide a consolidated view of Altria’s key environmental, social and governance data. Altria expects to update these tables periodically as new data becomes available.
In May, Altria’s Board elected Kathryn McQuade to serve as Altria’s independent Chair of the Board.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
Impact on Tobacco Business Operations
To date, Altria’s tobacco businesses have not experienced any material adverse effects associated with governmental actions to restrict consumer movement or business operations. There is continued uncertainty as to how the COVID-19 pandemic (including changes in COVID-19-related restrictions and guidelines) may impact the adult tobacco consumers (ATC) in the future.
Altria continues to monitor the macroeconomic risks of COVID-19 and its effect on ATC, including stay-at-home practices, disposable income (which may be impacted by unemployment rates, fiscal stimulus and increased inflation), purchasing patterns and adoption of smoke-free products.
Impact on Wine Business Operations
As the U.S Center for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed its COVID-19 guidelines and local government ordinances regarding consumer movement and business operations eased, Ste. Michelle restarted certain on-premise events, which resulted in higher on-premise sales compared to prior quarters.
Impact on ABI, JUUL and Cronos Investments
ABI has been, and continues to be, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, ABI’s performance in the first half of 2021 improved meaningfully versus the same period in 2020, including top-line growth in the second quarter of 2021 ahead of second quarter of 2019 pre-pandemic levels. The extreme market disruption and volatility associated with the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a steep decline in ABI’s stock price in the first half of 2020. While there has been significant recovery in ABI’s stock price since the first half of 2020, including renewed momentum in the second quarter of 2021, ABI’s stock price remains volatile as demonstrated by its recent decline in July 2021. The fair value of Altria’s investment in ABI continues to be below the carrying value. Altria believes that this decline is temporary and will continue to monitor its investment in ABI, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ABI’s business and market valuation.
JUUL’s operations were negatively impacted in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic due to stay-at-home practices and government-mandated restrictions. While the impact was considered in Altria’s quantitative valuations conducted in connection with the preparation of its financial statements, Altria does not believe the COVID-19 pandemic was a primary driver of the non-cash pre-tax impairment charge recorded during 2020 or the changes in fair value recorded during 2020 and during the six and three months ended June 30, 2021. Altria will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on JUUL’s business in its quarterly valuations of JUUL.
Cronos has been, and continues to be, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, due in part to government actions limiting access to retail stores in the U.S. and Canada. However, the continued rollout of vaccines in the United States and Canada has resulted in the removal of COVID-19 related restrictions in most of the United States and the gradual easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Canada at the end of the second quarter of 2021. Altria will continue to monitor its investment in Cronos, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Cronos’s business and market valuation.
Update on Wind-Down of Philip Morris Capital Corporation
As of June 30 2021, Altria’s net finance assets balance was $261 million, down $59 million since the end of 2020 due to rents received and asset sales in the first and second quarters of 2021. Altria expects to continue reducing its net finance assets balance in 2021 and expects to fully complete the PMCC wind-down by the end of 2022.

2021 Full-Year Guidance
Altria narrows its guidance for 2021 full-year adjusted diluted EPS to be in a range of $4.56 to $4.62, representing a growth rate of 4.5% to 6% from an adjusted diluted EPS base of $4.36 in 2020. This range includes the estimated impact of the recently announced Ste. Michelle Transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2021. While the 2021 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance accounts for a range of scenarios, the external environment remains dynamic. Altria will continue to monitor conditions related to (i) the economy (including unemployment rates and the impact of increased inflation), (ii) fiscal stimulus, (iii) ATC dynamics, including stay-at-home practices, disposable income, purchasing patterns and adoption of smoke-free products, (iv) regulatory and legislative (including excise tax) developments, (v) the timing and extent of COVID-19 vaccine administration and the impact of COVID-19 variants and (vi) expectations for adjusted earnings contributions from its alcohol assets.
Altria’s 2021 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range includes planned investments in support of its Vision, such as (i) marketplace investments to expand the availability and awareness of Altria’s smoke-free products, (ii) costs associated with building an industry-leading consumer engagement platform that enhances data collection and insights in support of ATC transition to smoke-free products and (iii) increased smoke-free product research and development expense. The full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range excludes the special items for the first six months of 2021 shown in Table 1 and the charge that Altria will record in the second half of 2021, which Altria does not expect to be material to its financial statements, related to the Ste. Michelle Transaction.
Altria continues to expect its 2021 full-year adjusted effective tax rate will be in a range of 24.5% to 25.5%.
Altria’s full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance and full-year forecast for its adjusted effective tax rate exclude 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, COVID-19 special items, equity investment-related special items (including any changes in fair value of the equity investment and any related warrants and preemptive rights), certain tax items, charges associated with tobacco and health litigation items, and resolutions of certain non-participating manufacturer (NPM) adjustment disputes under the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement (such dispute resolutions are referred to as NPM Adjustment Items).
Altria’s 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 its reported diluted EPS or its reported effective tax rate because these items, which could be significant, may be unusual or infrequent, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. As a result, Altria does not provide a corresponding U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure for, or reconciliation to, its adjusted diluted EPS guidance or its adjusted effective tax rate forecast.

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 increased 8.9% to $6.9 billion, primarily driven by higher net revenues in all reportable segments. Revenues net of excise taxes increased 10.9% to $5.6 billion.
Reported diluted EPS increased 11.5% to $1.16, primarily driven by higher reported operating companies income (OCI), an increase in the estimated fair value of Altria’s investment in JUUL and lower net charges on ABI-related special items. These drivers were partially offset by unfavorable Cronos-related special items.
Adjusted diluted EPS increased 12.8% to $1.23, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI.
First Half
Net revenues increased 1.9% to $13.0 billion, primarily driven by higher net revenues in all reportable segments. Revenues net of excise taxes increased 3.8% to $10.5 billion.
Reported diluted EPS increased 2.7% to $1.93, primarily driven by higher reported OCI, favorable ABI-related special items and fewer shares outstanding. These drivers were partially offset by losses on early extinguishment of debt, higher net charges on Cronos-related special items, a decrease in the estimated fair value in Altria’s investment in JUUL and higher income taxes.
Adjusted diluted EPS increased 5.5% to $2.30, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by higher income taxes.

Note: Retail share results for cigarettes are based on data from IRI/MSAi, a tracking service that uses a sample of stores and certain wholesale shipments 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. 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.

Adjusted OCI margins declined by 1.0 percentage points to 71.9%, due to changes in shipment volume mix between the segment’s MST and oral nicotine pouch products.

When adjusted for trade inventory movements and calendar differences, oral tobacco products segment shipment volume increased by an estimated 1%.
First Half
Oral tobacco products segment reported domestic shipment volume increased 1.2%, primarily driven by the growth of oral nicotine pouches and trade inventory movements, partially offset by retail share losses (primarily due to the growth of oral nicotine pouches), calendar differences and other factors. When adjusted for trade inventory movements and calendar differences, oral tobacco products segment shipment volume increased by an estimated 0.5%.

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
Altria reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Altria’s 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, the segments. Altria’s 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 “2021 Full-Year Guidance.” Altria’s management does not view any of these special items to be part of Altria’s 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. Altria’s management also reviews income tax rates on an adjusted basis. Altria’s adjusted effective tax rate may exclude certain tax items from its reported effective tax rate. Altria’s 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. Altria’s 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 consistent 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. Reconciliations of historical adjusted financial measures to corresponding GAAP measures are provided in this release.
Altria uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in ABI and Cronos and reports its 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 to record them in the concurrent period. The one-quarter reporting lag for ABI and Cronos does not affect Altria’s cash flows. In the fourth quarter of 2020, Altria elected to account for its investment in JUUL under the fair value option. Prior to this date, Altria accounted for its investment in JUUL as an investment in an equity security.
Altria’s reportable segments are smokeable products, including combustible cigarettes and cigars manufactured and sold by PM USA and Middleton; oral tobacco products, including MST and snus products manufactured and sold by USSTC, and oral nicotine pouches sold by Helix; and wine, produced and/or distributed by Ste. Michelle. Results for innovative tobacco products and Philip Morris Capital Corporation (PMCC) are included in “All Other.”Comparisons are to the corresponding prior-year period unless otherwise stated.
