NJOY Transaction and Final Payment from Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI)

• On June 1, 2023, we completed our acquisition of NJOY Holdings, Inc. (NJOY Transaction), paying $2.75 billion in cash which we funded through a combination of a $2 billion term loan, commercial paper and available cash. We may also be obligated to pay up to $500 million in additional cash payments that are contingent on receipt of FDA authorizations with respect to certain NJOY products.
• In July, we received final payment of approximately $1.8 billion (including interest) from PMI as part of our total $2.7 billion (plus interest) transition agreement for the IQOS Tobacco Heating System®. The proceeds were subsequently applied to the full repayment of the outstanding $2 billion term loan.

Cash Returns to Shareholders

• In the second quarter and first half, we repurchased 10.4 million shares at an average price of $45.37, for a total cost of $472 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had $528 million remaining under the current share repurchase program, which we expect to complete by December 31, 2023. Share repurchases depend on marketplace conditions and other factors, and the program remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors (Board).
• We paid dividends of $1.7 billion and $3.4 billion in the second quarter and first half, respectively. In March 2023, we established a new progressive dividend goal that targets mid-single digits dividend growth annually. Future dividend payments remain subject to the discretion of our Board.

Macroeconomic Conditions Impacting Our Businesses

Impact on Tobacco Business Operations

• Our businesses were not materially impacted by increased costs resulting from high inflation.

Impact on Adult Tobacco Consumers (ATCs)

• We believe the cumulative effect of high inflation over the past several quarters impacted ATC behaviors, discretionary income and spending. As a result, PM USA and the cigarette industry experienced elevated volume declines, and we observed accelerated share growth in the discount cigarettes segment. Despite these factors, our leading tobacco brands remained resilient and we continued to observe significant brand loyalty in the tobacco space overall.

Environmental, Social and Governance

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 Responsibility section of www.altria.com.

• Most recently, we published the following responsibility reports:
  • 2022 Engage and Lead Responsibly Report;
  • 2022 Prevent Underage Use Snapshot;
  • 2022 Drive Responsibility Through Our Value Chain Snapshot;
  • 2022 Support Our People & Communities Snapshot; and
  • 2022 Reduce Harm of Tobacco Products Snapshot.
• 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 eleventh consecutive year of recognition for our commitment to supporting communities and advancing social causes.
• In July, we commenced an equity and civil rights assessment (Assessment) in response to a 2022 shareholder proposal requesting that we commission a civil rights equity audit. We are leading the Assessment, which is being overseen by an external Advisory Review Board. The review board consists of five independent members with relevant expertise in fields such as civil rights, inclusion, diversity and equity, legal, law enforcement, public policy, and youth development. More information is available on the Investors section of www.altria.com.

2023 Full-Year Guidance

We reaffirm our guidance to deliver 2023 full-year adjusted diluted EPS in a range of $4.89 to $5.03, representing a growth rate of 1% to 4% from an adjusted diluted EPS base of $4.84 in 2022. Our 2023 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range includes planned investments in support of our Vision, such as (i) continued smoke-free product research, development and regulatory preparation expenses, (ii) enhancement of our digital consumer engagement system and (iii) marketplace activities in support of our smoke-free products, including planned investments behind the U.S. commercialization of NJOY ACE. Our guidance range also includes estimated amortization charges of approximately $50 million related to intangible assets acquired in the NJOY Transaction.

While the 2023 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 high inflation, rising interest rates and global supply chain disruptions, (ii) ATC dynamics, including disposable income, purchasing patterns and adoption of smoke-free products, and (iii) regulatory and legislative developments.

We continue to expect our 2023 full-year adjusted effective tax rate to be in a range of 24.5% to 25.5% and our 2023 capital expenditures to be between $175 million and $225 million. As a result of the NJOY Transaction, we revised our estimate for 2023 depreciation and amortization expenses to be approximately $280 million.

Our full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range and full-year forecast for our adjusted effective tax rate exclude the impact of certain income and expense items that our 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 and disposition-related items, equity investment-related special items (including any changes in fair value of our equity investment recorded at fair value 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 (NPM Adjustment Items). See Table 1 below for the income and expense items for the second quarter of 2023.

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 or our 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, we do not provide a corresponding U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure for, or reconciliation to, our adjusted diluted EPS guidance or our adjusted effective tax rate forecast.

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 0.5% to $6.5 billion, primarily driven by lower net revenues in the smokeable products segment. Revenues net of excise taxes increased 1.2% to $5.4 billion.
• Reported diluted EPS increased 100%+ to $1.19, primarily driven by 2022 charges related to our former investment in JUUL Labs Inc. (JUUL) equity securities, favorable Cronos and ABI-related special items, higher reported operating companies income (OCI) and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by higher tobacco and health and certain other litigation items and acquisition costs related to the NJOY Transaction.
• Adjusted diluted EPS increased 4.0% to $1.31, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by lower net periodic benefit income.

First Half

• Net revenues decreased 1.7% to $12.2 billion, primarily driven by lower net revenues in the smokeable products segment. Revenues net of excise taxes was essentially unchanged at $10.2 billion.
• Reported diluted EPS increased 38.9% to $2.18, primarily driven by lower charges related to our former investment in JUUL equity securities, favorable Cronos-related special items, higher reported earnings from our investment in ABI, fewer shares outstanding, favorable interest expense and higher reported OCI. These drivers were partially offset by higher tobacco and health and certain other litigation items and acquisition costs related to the NJOY Transaction.
• Adjusted diluted EPS increased 5.0% to $2.50, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI, fewer shares outstanding, higher adjusted earnings from our investment in ABI and favorable interest expense, partially offset by lower net periodic benefit income.

Special Items

The EPS impact of the following special items is shown in Table 1 and Schedules 6, 7, 8 and 9.

NPM Adjustment Items

• In the first half of 2022, we recorded pre-tax income of $60 million (or $0.02 per share) for NPM Adjustments Items.

Tobacco and Health and Certain Other Litigation Items

• In the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, we recorded pre-tax charges of $290 million (or $0.12 per share) and $46 million (or $0.02 per share), respectively, for tobacco and health and certain other litigation items and related interest costs. The 2023 charges were primarily driven by our previously announced settlement of JUUL-related litigation.
• In the first half of 2023 and 2022, we recorded pre-tax charges of $401 million (or $0.17 per share) and $58 million (or $0.02 per share), respectively, for tobacco and health and certain other litigation items and related interest costs.

Loss on Disposition and Changes in Fair Value of JUUL Equity Securities

As previously disclosed, we exchanged our entire minority economic interest in JUUL for a non-exclusive, irrevocable global license to certain of JUUL’s heated tobacco intellectual property (2023 JUUL Transaction). We recorded non-cash, pre-tax losses from investments in equity securities as a result of the 2023 JUUL Transaction and changes in the estimated fair value of our former investment in JUUL in 2022. Amounts consisted of the following:

Losses per share	$	—	$	0.64	$	0.14	$	0.70

We recorded corresponding adjustments to the JUUL tax valuation allowance in 2023 and 2022.

ABI-Related Special Items

• In the second quarter and first half of 2022, equity earnings from ABI included net pre-tax losses of $112 million (or $0.05 per share) and $53 million (or $0.02 per share), respectively, consisting primarily of ABI’s non-cash impairment charge related to its investment in a joint venture with direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine. The net pre-tax losses for the first half of 2022 were partially offset by ABI’s net mark-to-market gains on certain ABI financial instruments associated with its share commitments.

The ABI-related special items above include our respective share of the amounts recorded by ABI and additional adjustments related to (i) conversion from international financial reporting standards to GAAP and (ii) adjustments to our investment required under the equity method of accounting.

Cronos-Related Special Items

We recorded net pre-tax expense consisting of the following:

Note: Retail share results for cigarettes are based on data from Circana, Inc. and Circana Group, L.P. (“Circana”) as well as, MSAi. Circana is a newly formed company reflecting the recent merger of IRI and NPD Group, Inc. Circana maintains a blended retail service that uses a sample of stores and certain wholesale shipments to project market share and depict share trends. Similar to prior reporting, 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 through the Store Tracking Analytical Reporting System (“STARS”), as provided by MSAi. This service is not designed to capture sales through other channels, including the internet, direct mail and some illicitly tax-advantaged outlets. It is retail services’ standard practice to periodically refresh their retail scan services, which could restate retail share results that were previously released in these services.

Note: Volume includes cans and packs sold, as well as promotional units, but excludes international volume, which is currently not material to our oral tobacco products segment. 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. To calculate volumes of cans and packs shipped, 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.

Retail Share and Brand Activity

Note: Our oral tobacco products segment’s retail share results exclude international volume. Retail share results for oral tobacco products are based on data from Circana, 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 are defined by Circana 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 retail services’ standard practice to periodically refresh their retail scan services, which could restate retail share results that were previously released in these services.

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 “2023 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. We accounted for our former investment in the equity securities of JUUL at fair value.

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. We have included results for NJOY, Helix rest-of-world, the IQOS Tobacco Heating System® and Philip Morris Capital Corporation (prior to the completion of its wind-down at the end of 2022) in “All Other.” Comparisons are to the corresponding prior-year period unless otherwise stated.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This release contains projections of future results and other forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements included in this release are described in our publicly filed reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These factors include the following:

• our inability to anticipate and respond to changes in adult tobacco consumer preferences and purchase behavior;

• our inability to compete effectively;

• 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 shipment volume;

• our failure to commercialize innovative products, including tobacco products that may reduce health risks relative to other tobacco products and 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 or products;

• unfavorable outcomes with respect to litigation proceedings or any governmental investigations;

• the risks associated with significant federal, state and local government actions, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory actions, and various private sector actions;

• increases in tobacco product-related taxes;

• our failure to complete or manage successfully strategic transactions, including the NJOY Transaction and other acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and investments in third parties, or realize the anticipated benefits of such transactions;

• 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;

• our reliance on a few significant facilities and a small number of key suppliers, distributors and distribution chain service providers and the risks associated with an extended disruption at a facility or in service by a supplier, distributor or distribution chain service provider;

• the risk that we may be required to write down intangible assets, including trademarks and goodwill, due to impairment;

• the risk that we could decide, or be required to, recall products;

• the various risks related to health epidemics and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and health authorities implement to address them;

• our inability to attract and retain a highly skilled and diverse workforce due to the decreasing social acceptance of tobacco usage, tobacco control actions and other factors;

• the risks associated with the various U.S. and foreign laws and regulations to which we are subject due to our international business operations;

• the risks concerning a challenge to our tax positions, an increase in the income tax rate or other changes to federal or state tax laws;

• the risks associated with legal and regulatory requirements related to climate change and other environmental sustainability matters;

• disruption and uncertainty in the credit and capital markets, including risk of losing access to these markets;

• a downgrade or potential downgrade of our credit ratings;

• our inability to attract investors due to increasing investor expectations of our performance relating to environmental, social and governance factors;

• the failure of our, or our key service providers’ or key suppliers’, information systems to function as intended, or cyber-attacks or security breaches;

• our failure to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws;

• the risk that the expected benefits of our investment in ABI may not materialize in the expected manner or timeframe or at all, including due to macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions; foreign currency exchange rates; ABI’s business results; ABI’s share price; impairment losses on the value of our investment; our incurrence of additional tax liabilities related to our investment in ABI; and potential reductions in the number of directors that we can have appointed to the ABI board of directors; and

• the risks associated with our investment in Cronos, including legal, regulatory and reputational risks and the risk that the expected benefits of the transaction may not materialize in the expected timeframe or at all.

You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all factors and risks. Consequently, you should not consider the foregoing list complete. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that we may make from time to time except as required by applicable law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Altria or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above.
