Reynolds American Reports Third Quarter Results; Increases Guidance
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Oct. 25, 2004 –Reynolds American Inc. (NYSE: RAI) today reported third-quarter financial results and increased its guidance primarily as a result of additional tax favorabilities associated with resolution of certain prior-years’ tax matters. This is the first RAI earnings release that includes results from the U.S. operations formerly owned by Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation (B&W) and from Lane Limited (Lane).
Reynolds American was established as a publicly traded holding company on July 30, 2004, following a combination of the nation’s No. 2 and No. 3 cigarette manufacturers, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (R.J. Reynolds) and B&W’s U.S. operations. At that time, Lane, a tobacco products manufacturer and distributor, was also acquired by RAI.
The third-quarter results reported today include the pre-merger results of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc. (formerly publicly traded as RJR; now a wholly owned subsidiary of RAI) through July and the consolidated RAI earnings for August and September. To provide additional perspective on the company’s current performance, RAI is also presenting certainpro-formaGAAP measurements.
“Our third-quarter results and outlook for the year demonstrate the progress we continue to make in streamlining our cost structure and realizing the initial benefits of the business combination and Lane acquisition,” said RAI chief executive officer and president Susan M. Ivey. “We are ahead of schedule in delivering the $1 billion in cost-structure improvements announced last fall. We have met all key integration milestones to date and are capturing significant cost synergies related to the merger.
“In addition,” Ivey said, “R.J. Reynolds is making excellent progress in developing a new brand-portfolio strategy. The company is conducting a comprehensive analysis of the strengths and long-term potential of each brand to determine its strategic role and future support. R.J. Reynolds will finalize these plans by the end of the year and will communicate its decisions and implement the new strategy in early 2005.”
RAI’s third-quarter results follow in two sections: one that presents as-reported (GAAP) measurements, and a second section that providespro-forma information.

Third Quarter Financial Results (GAAP)
On a GAAP basis, RAI’s third-quarter net sales were $1.9 billion, a 34.8 percent increase primarily due to incremental revenues resulting from the business combination.
Operating income was $346 million, benefiting from approximately $30 million in merger-related synergies and a $7 million adjustment to previously recorded restructuring charges. These were more than offset by approximately $60 million in one-time merger-related costs. During the prior-year quarter, the company recorded an operating loss of $3.6 billion, due to restructuring charges and related trademark and goodwill impairment charges totaling $3.9 billion.

Third-quarter net income was $339 million, compared to a loss of $3.5 billion in the year-ago quarter, due to the factors discussed above. Third-quarter net income comparisons also include a $141 million third-quarter 2004 benefit associated with resolution of prior-years’ tax matters, as well as a third-quarter 2003 tax favorability of $55 million. Third-quarter earnings per diluted share were $2.66, compared with a per-share loss of $41.31 in the third quarter of 2003.
Nine Month Financial Results (GAAP)
For the first nine months of 2004, net sales were $4.4 billion, up 10 percent compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to incremental revenues resulting from the business combination.
Nine-month operating income was $833 million, compared with a loss of $3.4 billion in the prior-year period. In addition to the synergies and one-time costs impacting third-quarter results, operating results for the first nine months of 2004 include the net benefit of $25 million in adjustments to previously recorded restructuring charges and a $33 million first-quarter charge related to the settlement of the tobacco growers’ lawsuit. Operating results for the first nine months of 2003 included the third-quarter restructuring and related impairment charges mentioned above, as well as a $55 million restructuring charge in the second quarter.
Including the third-quarter tax favorabilities mentioned above, net income of $612 million, or $6.16 per diluted share, compares with a net loss of $3.3 billion, or $39.55 per share, during the first nine months of 2003.
Operating Company Volume
R.J. Reynolds’ actual third-quarter 2004 volume was up 25.4 percent and volume for the first nine months was up 4.6 percent, due to incremental volume from the addition of former B&W brands.

On apro-formaGAAP basis, Reynolds American’s third-quarter and nine-month earnings increased significantly due to the implementation of key strategic initiatives. In 2003, fundamental changes were made to achieve substantial cost reductions and drive marketplace effectiveness and efficiency. These initiatives resulted in pre-tax restructuring charges of $55 million in the second quarter of 2003, and restructuring and impairment charges totaling $4.1 billion in the third quarter of 2003. In addition, the third quarter and nine months of 2003 included a change in returned-goods policy that benefited those periods by $39 million and $93 million, respectively.
Reynolds American’s third-quarter and nine-month 2004 operating earnings benefited from the strategic changes initiated in 2003 and approximately $30 million of merger-related synergies. The quarter and nine-month periods were also impacted by volume declines, and by integration and other merger-related costs of $86 million for the quarter ($125 million for the first nine months), a portion of which were incurred by B&W prior to the merger. Net income was impacted by the factors discussed above, as well as from favorable tax adjustments.

R.J. Reynolds’ Shipment Volume (Pro Forma)
R.J. Reynolds’ third-quarter volume was 29.1 billion units, down 5.3 percent from the prior-year quarter. Nine-month volume was 85.6 billion units, down 5.2 percent from the prior-year period.
-5-
For both the quarter and the nine-month period, the performance of the company’s full-price brands was significantly stronger than that of its savings brands. Full-price mix for the third quarter was 59.6 percent, up 1.6 percentage points from the year-ago quarter. The full-price mix for the first nine months of 2004 was 59.3 percent, up 1.9 percentage points from the prior-year period.
R.J. Reynolds’ Retail Share (Pro Forma)
The following share information is reported as if all brands were part of R.J. Reynolds at the beginning of the full periods presented.
R.J. Reynolds’ third-quarter share was 30.75 percent, down 1.17 percentage points from the third quarter of 2003. Nine-month share was 30.88 percent, down 1.42 percentage points from the prior-year period, driven by strategic decisions on non-investment brands.
Camel, Kool, Salem and Pall Mall were R.J. Reynolds and B&W’s investment brands prior to the business combination. During the third quarter, the combined share of these investment brands was 13.32 percent, up 0.73 percentage points from the year-ago quarter. Nine-month share for the four brands was 13.09 percent, up 0.63 points from the prior-year period.
Camel, Salem and Pall Mall all grew share for the nine-month period, compared with the same prior-year period. Kool has performed well since its repositioning in 2001; however the brand has experienced some recent softness due to increased competitive activity in the menthol category.
While the company evaluates its future brand-portfolio strategy, it will continue to implement the programs that were independently developed for the four investment brands prior to the merger.
Reynolds American Outlook
“We are increasing the full-year GAAP guidance we issued in September. For full-year 2004, we forecast operating income of $1.050 billion to $1.100 billion, net income of $765 to $795 million, and diluted earnings per share of $6.85 to $7.10,” said Dianne M. Neal, Reynolds American’s chief financial officer. “Several factors contributed to the increase in today’s guidance, most notably additional tax favorability and accelerated cost efficiencies.”
RAI’s guidance for 2004 operating income includes the following factors:
| • | | Approximately $550 million of cost savings associated with the restructuring plan announced in the fall of 2003. This brings the company’s 2003 and 2004 cumulative cost savings to about $950 million, against a $1 billion cost-reduction goal by the end of 2005; |
|
| • | | Approximately $75 million of merger-related synergies. The company projects a total of $550 million to $600 million in synergies within approximately two years; |
-6-
| • | | Approximately $125 million of merger-related expenses. Total merger-related cash costs are estimated to be $275 million to $300 million in 2004. Through 2006, merger-related cash costs are expected to total $700 million to $800 million; and |
|
| • | | $25 million of non-cash amortization expense associated with purchase-accounting asset valuations. Certain other assets will be revalued over the remainder of 2004 in accordance with purchase accounting principles. |
On an after-tax basis, net income includes a benefit of approximately $170 million associated with the resolution of prior-year tax matters.
Today’s guidance does not include any additional charges related to asset revaluations or any impact of the federal tobacco quota buyout legislation.
Reynolds American expects to end the year with total debt of $1.6 billion to $1.9 billion, and cash and short-term investments of approximately $1.9 billion.
“We continue to be pleased with the progress we are making in integrating our operations, developing our strategic plans, and positioning Reynolds American to build shareholder value,” Neal said.

REYNOLDS AMERICAN INC.
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
(Dollars in Millions)
The following condensed consolidated balance sheets include the audited accounts of RJR as of Dec. 31, 2003 and the unaudited accounts of RAI as of Sept. 30, 2004. On a preliminary basis, the $2.8 billion cost of the acquisition of B&W/Lane has been allocated to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess purchase price over the preliminary allocation was included in goodwill. The fair value of acquired trademarks has not yet been determined, and accordingly, no amount has been allocated to trademarks in the balance sheet as of Sept. 30, 2004. The allocation of purchase price to fair value of trademarks acquired, as well as final adjustments to the fair value of other long-lived assets is expected to significantly reduce goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2004.
