• | In July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized IQOS and HeatSticks to be marketed as Modified Risk Tobacco Products with a “reduced exposure” claim. |
• | In July, PM USA launched IQOS in Charlotte with the opening of its boutique under enhanced safety protocols. PM USA expects HeatSticks to be sold in more than 700 retail stores across the Atlanta, Richmond and Charlotte markets by the end of August. |
• | Over the next 18 months, PM USA plans to expand IQOS to four additional markets, partner with trade retailers to make IQOS devices more broadly available and expand HeatSticks distribution in surrounding geographies of the seven lead markets. |
• | PM USA’s exclusive license and distribution agreement for IQOS with Philip Morris International Inc., has two important milestones: |
◦ | PM USA would maintain exclusive U.S. distribution rights upon achieving 0.5% dollar share in a single geographic area, within a specified time period by April 2022. |
◦ | Additionally, PM USA’s distribution rights are subject to an initial five-year term. The initial term expires in April 2024 and renews at PM USA’s option for an additional five-year term upon achieving 0.5% dollar share of the cigarette category in a certain number of geographic areas, each within a specified time period. |
• | In May, Helix submitted Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs) to the FDA for all 35 on! SKUs. These PMTAs are now in scientific review. |
• | Helix continues to make progress installing manufacturing equipment and expanding distribution. |
◦ | Helix now expects to reach 50 million cans in annualized manufacturing capacity by the end of 2020 and continues to expect to remove capacity constraints in 2021. |
◦ | Helix expanded distribution into 40,000 stores as of the end of the second quarter, an increase of nearly 43% from the end of the first quarter. |
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic | ||||
• | To date, Altria recorded net pre-tax charges of $50 million, directly related to costs for disruptions caused by, or efforts to mitigate the impact of, the COVID-19 pandemic. These pre-tax charges included premium pay, personal protective equipment and health screenings, partially offset by certain employment tax credits. |
• | Ste. Michelle’s on premise and direct-to-consumer sales have been significantly impacted by COVID-19. Future Ste. Michelle sales may continue to be impacted given the many restrictions still imposed on dining and gatherings, which also may have an impact on adult wine consumers going forward. |
◦ | In the first-quarter of 2020, Ste. Michelle recorded pre-tax charges of $392 million in cost of sales, including a $292 million inventory write off and $100 million in estimated losses on future non-cancelable grape purchase commitments. The pre-tax charges were based on wine inventory levels significantly exceeding forecasted product demand as of March 31, 2020. |
• | In June, PM USA re-opened its IQOS boutiques in Atlanta and Richmond under enhanced safety protocols. |
• | To date, Altria’s tobacco businesses have not experienced any material adverse effects associated with governmental actions to restrict consumer movement or business operations, but continue to monitor these |
• | Altria continues to monitor the macroeconomic risks of COVID-19 and its effect on adult tobacco consumers, including impacts to unemployment rates, consumer confidence levels, number of housing starts and gasoline prices. |
• | Ste. Michelle continues to be significantly impacted by COVID-19, primarily due to lower on-premise and direct-to-consumer sales. |
• | ABI has made several public disclosures regarding the impact of COVID-19 on its business, including withdrawing its financial forecast and its decision to reduce the final 2019 dividend payment in June 2020. In addition, the extreme market disruption and volatility associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a steep decline in ABI’s stock price, and the fair value of Altria’s investment in ABI is now well below the carrying value. While Altria believes that this decline is temporary, it will continue to monitor its investment in ABI, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ABI’s business and market valuation and the associated risks to Altria. |
• | Altria considered the impact of COVID-19 on the business of JUUL, including its sales, distribution, operations, supply chain and liquidity, in conducting its periodic impairment assessment. Altria’s assessment did not result in impairment at June 30, 2020. Altria will continue to monitor its investment in JUUL and the impact of COVID-19 on JUUL’s business. |
• | Altria considered the impact of COVID-19 on the business of Cronos, including its sales, distribution, operations, supply chain and liquidity. Altria believes Cronos has been impacted by COVID-19, due in part to government action requiring closures of retail stores in the United States. In addition, the fair value of Altria’s equity method investment in Cronos was less than its carrying value at June 30, 2020. While Altria believes that this decline in fair value is temporary, it will continue to monitor its equity method investment in Cronos, including the impact of COVID-19 on Cronos’s business and market valuation and the associated risks to Altria. |

• | On July 27, 2020, Altria’s Board of Directors declared an increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.86 per share from $0.84 per share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on October 9, 2020 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2020. The ex-dividend date is September 14, 2020. |
• | The new annualized dividend rate is $3.44 per share, representing an increase of 2.4% from $3.36 per share. |
• | Altria maintains its long-term objective of a dividend payout ratio target of approximately 80% of adjusted diluted EPS. Future dividend payments remain subject to the Board’s discretion. |
• | In March, Altria borrowed the full $3 billion available under its revolving credit agreement due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
• | In May, Altria issued long-term senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2 billion. |
• | In June, Altria re-paid the $3 billion borrowed under the revolving credit agreement. The amount available under the agreement was $3 billion at June 30, 2020. |
• | At the end of the second quarter, Altria’s cash balance was $4.8 billion. After paying July dividends and tax payments, Altria’s estimated cash balance was $3 billion. |
• | For the coming quarters, Altria expects to continue to maintain a higher cash balance than normal to preserve its financial flexibility. |
2020 Full-Year Guidance | ||||
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Progress | ||||

Altria expects to report progress against these Aiming Points periodically. |
Financial Performance | ||||
• | Net revenues decreased 3.8% to $6.4 billion, primarily due to lower net revenues in the smokeable products segment. Revenues net of excise taxes decreased 2.5% to $5.1 billion. |
• | Reported diluted EPS decreased 2.8% to $1.04, primarily driven by losses from Altria’s equity investment in ABI and higher losses in the all other category (primarily driven by the reduction of the estimated residual value of an asset at PMCC in 2020). These factors were partially offset by favorable Cronos-related special items, higher reported operating companies income (OCI) in the smokeable products and oral tobacco products segments and fewer shares outstanding. |
• | Adjusted diluted EPS increased 0.9% to $1.09, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI in the smokeable products and oral tobacco products segments and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by lower adjusted earnings from Altria’s equity investment in ABI and higher losses in the all other category (primarily driven by the reduction of the estimated residual value of an asset at PMCC in 2020). |
• | Net revenues increased 3.9% to $12.7 billion, primarily due to higher net revenues in the smokeable products and oral tobacco products segments. Revenues net of excise taxes increased 5.5% to $10.1 billion. |
• | Reported diluted EPS increased 13.3% to $1.88, primarily driven by higher reported operating companies income (OCI) in the smokeable products and oral tobacco products segments, 2019 Cronos-related special items, 2019 acquisition-related costs associated with the JUUL and Cronos transactions and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by inventory-related charges in the wine segment and lower reported earnings from Altria’s equity investment in ABI. |
• | Adjusted diluted EPS increased 8.5% to $2.18, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI in the smokeable products and oral tobacco products segments and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by lower adjusted earnings from Altria’s equity investments in ABI and Cronos. |

• | changes, including in economic conditions (due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise), that result in adult consumers choosing lower-priced brands including discount brands; |
• | the unsuccessful commercialization of adjacent products or processes by our tobacco subsidiaries and investees, 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; |
• | significant changes in price, availability or quality of tobacco, other raw materials or component parts, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; |

• | impairment losses as a result of the write down of intangible assets, including goodwill; |
• | the risks related to Ste. Michelle’s wine business, including competition, unfavorable changes in grape supply, and changes in adult consumer preferences that have resulted and may continue to result in increased inventory levels and inventory write offs, and governmental regulations; |
• | the risk that any challenge to our investment in JUUL, if successful, could result in a broad range of resolutions such as 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, compliance and regulatory risks at the international, federal, state and local levels, including actions by the FDA, and adverse publicity; potential disruptions to our investees’ management or current or future plans and operations; domestic or international litigation developments, government investigations, tax disputes or otherwise; and impairment of our investments; |
• | 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 adverse effects of risks encountered by ABI in its business, including effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of movements in ABI’s stock price on our equity investment in ABI, including on our reported earnings from and carrying value of our investment in ABI, which could result in impairment of our investment, and the dividends paid by ABI on the shares we own; |
