RICHMOND, Va. July 22, 2009 – Altria Group, Inc. (Altria) (NYSE: MO) today announced 2009 second-quarter reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.49 versus $0.45 in the second quarter of 2008, up 8.9% versus the prior-year period. Reported results reflect higher operating companies income (OCI) from cigarettes and financial services, as well as the OCI contribution from the UST LLC (UST) acquisition, higher earnings from Altria’s equity investment in SABMiller plc (SABMiller) and lower general corporate expenses. These factors were partially offset by higher interest expense and lower OCI from cigars versus the prior-year period. Altria’s adjusted 2009 second-quarter diluted EPS increased 8.7% to $0.50 versus $0.46 in the second quarter of 2008 as shown in Table 1 below.
For the first half of 2009, Altria’s reported diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 5.5% to $0.77 versus $0.73 in the prior-year period. Altria’s adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations for the first six months of 2009 increased 8.5% to $0.89 versus $0.82 in the first six months of 2008 as shown in Table 1 below.
“Altria delivered strong adjusted earnings per share growth in the second quarter,” said Michael E. Szymanczyk, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Altria. “Our cigarette business performed exceptionally well, delivering excellent financial results in a challenging
6601 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23230
environment that included a significant increase in the federal excise tax. Our cost savings programs remained on track and the UST integration continued to proceed smoothly. We also remain encouraged by the initial results to enhance the value equation of U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company’s premium moist smokeless tobacco portfolio.”
“We are raising our 2009 full-year earnings per share guidance on both a reported and an adjusted basis given Altria’s strong first-half business performance,” Mr. Szymanczyk said.

Cost Management
Altria and its companies achieved $25 million in cost savings in the second quarter of 2009 and $165 million in savings through the first six months of 2009. Altria expects to achieve approximately $695 million in additional cost savings by 2011 for total cost reductions of $1.5 billion versus 2006, as shown in Table 2 below.
Philip Morris USA (PM USA) is planning to cease production at its Cabarrus cigarette manufacturing facility and complete the consolidation of manufacturing capacity into its Richmond facility by the end of July 2009. PM USA first announced in June 2007 that it would be closing the Cabarrus facility. That decision was made to address manufacturing overcapacity
resulting from ongoing declines in U.S. cigarette volume and reduced contract manufacturing for Philip Morris International (PMI). The company expects to complete the de-commissioning of the Cabarrus facility during 2010.
The Cabarrus facility closure is part of PM USA’s Manufacturing Optimization Program, which is expected to deliver ongoing annual savings of $188 million by 2011. Altria incurred pre-tax charges of $47 million in the second quarter and $84 million in the first six months of 2009 for exit and implementation costs related primarily to this initiative. Altria expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $175 million in the second half of 2009 and $35 million in 2010 related primarily to this initiative.

Note: Altria expects to generate an estimated $300 million in UST integration cost savings by 2011. UST integration costs savings are included in the Corporate Expense and SG&A line item beginning in 2009.
UST Integration Update
The UST integration is currently on schedule and within budget, and Altria expects to absorb substantially all of the costs related to the UST acquisition in 2009. In the first six months of 2009, Altria incurred $326 million in acquisition-related charges as well as restructuring and integration costs, which includes pre-tax charges of $43 million in the second quarter. Altria expects to incur additional integration and restructuring charges of approximately $117 million in the second half of 2009 and $40 million in 2010.
Altria expects the UST acquisition to be accretive to its adjusted diluted earnings per share in 2010. Altria believes the acquisition may be accretive in 2009, depending upon the timing of the realization of integration cost savings, brand responsiveness to investment spending and moist smokeless category growth trends.
2009 Full-Year Earnings Per Share Guidance
On a reported basis, Altria raises 2009 full-year guidance for reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations from a range of $1.47 to $1.52 to a range of $1.51 to $1.56, reflecting higher projected earnings from continuing operations as well a $0.02 net gain in SABMiller related items. This revised forecast includes estimated net charges of $0.21 per share related to exit, integration and implementation costs, UST acquisition-related costs, SABMiller intangible asset impairments, and gains resulting from SABMiller’s issuances of common stock.
Altria raises 2009 full-year guidance for adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations from a range of $1.70 to $1.75 to a range of $1.72 to $1.77, representing a growth rate of 4% to 7% from an adjusted base of $1.65 per share in 2008. This revised forecast reflects higher projected earnings from continuing operations. The factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections. A reconciliation of reported and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is shown in Table 3 below.

ALTRIA GROUP, INC.
Altria’s management reviews OCI, which is defined as operating income before corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles, to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Altria’s management also reviews OCI, operating margins and EPS on an adjusted basis, which excludes certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations because such items can obscure underlying business trends. Management believes it is appropriate to disclose these measures to help investors analyze underlying business performance and trends. Such adjusted measures are regularly provided to management for use in the evaluation of segment performance and allocation of resources. For a reconciliation of OCI to operating income, see the Consolidated Statements of Earnings contained in this release. Reconciliations of adjusted measures to corresponding GAAP measures are also provided in the release. All references in this news release are to continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.
As a result of the spin-off of PMI in the first quarter of 2008, our reported results reflect PMI as a discontinued operation for the six months ending June 30, 2008. Revenues and OCI for PMI are therefore excluded from Altria’s continuing results.
Altria’s reporting segments are Cigarettes, manufactured by PM USA; Smokeless Products, manufactured by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company LLC (USSTC) and PM USA; Cigars, manufactured by John Middleton Co. (Middleton); Wine, produced by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates (SMWE); and Financial Services, provided by Philip Morris Capital Corporation (PMCC).
Altria’s 2009 Second-Quarter
For the second quarter of 2009, Altria’s net revenues increased 32.9% to $6.7 billion reflecting higher pricing related primarily to the federal excise tax (FET) increase, and the acquisition of UST. Operating income increased 25.0% to $1.7 billion due primarily to higher OCI from cigarettes and financial services, as well as the OCI contribution from the UST acquisition and lower general corporate expenses. Net earnings attributable to Altria increased 8.6% to $1.0 billion due to higher operating income and higher earnings from Altria’s equity investment in SABMiller, partially offset by higher interest expense related to the debt issued in connection with the UST acquisition.
For the first half of 2009, Altria’s net revenues increased 18.8% to $11.2 billion reflecting higher pricing related primarily to the FET increase, and the acquisition of UST. Operating
income increased 12.3% to $2.9 billion due primarily to higher OCI from cigarettes and financial services, as well as the OCI contribution from the UST acquisition and lower corporate expenses, partially offset by the 2008 gain on the sale of the corporate headquarters building and UST acquisition-related transaction costs. Earnings from continuing operations increased 3.6% to $1.6 billion due primarily to higher operating income and a 2008 loss on the early extinguishment of debt in connection with the PMI spin-off, partially offset by higher interest expense related to the debt issued in connection with the UST acquisition. Net earnings attributable to Altria, which includes PMI as a discontinued operation in 2008, decreased 52.7% to $1.6 billion.
CIGARETTES
Business Results
Second quarter and first-half of 2009 cigarettes segment results were impacted by the April 1, 2009 FET increase on tobacco products. Second-quarter net revenues for cigarettes increased 22.5% to $6.0 billion due primarily to higher pricing related to the FET increase. Revenues net of excise taxes decreased 2.1% to $4.0 billion due primarily to lower volume. Adjusted revenues net of excise taxes and contract volume manufactured for PMI in 2008 increased 0.6% to $4.0 billion. For the first six months of 2009, net revenues increased 8.4% to $9.9 billion, and revenues net of excise taxes decreased 4.1% to $7.2 billion. Adjusted revenues net of excise taxes and contract volume manufactured for PMI in 2008 decreased 2.7% to $7.2 billion. Cigarettes segment revenues are summarized in Table 4 below.

Reported OCI for cigarettes increased 6.7% to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2009, and 8.1% to $2.6 billion in the first half of 2009 versus the prior-year periods. Reported OCI results for the three- and six-month periods reflect higher list prices, partially offset by lower volume and higher costs related primarily to the previously announced closure of the Cabarrus manufacturing facility. Excluding the exit and implementation costs, adjusted OCI increased by 7.4% to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2009 and 8.8% to approximately $2.7 billion in the first six months of 2009, as shown in Table 5 below.

In the first quarter of 2009, PM USA’s shipment volume was negatively impacted as wholesalers and retailers depleted their inventories of PM USA’s brands in anticipation of the FET increase. In the second quarter, the trade rebuilt their inventories of PM USA’s brands, though not back to their prior levels. PM USA’s second quarter domestic cigarette shipment volume of 40.6 billion units was 6.8% lower than the prior-year period, but was estimated to be down about 12% when adjusted for changes in trade inventories. Total cigarette industry volume was down an estimated 8% in the second quarter of 2009 when adjusted for trade inventory changes.
For the first half of 2009, PM USA’s domestic cigarette shipment volume of 75.0 billion units was 10.4% lower than the prior-year period, but was estimated to be down about 9% when adjusted for changes in trade inventories and calendar differences. Total cigarette industry volume was down an estimated 7% in the first six months of 2009 when adjusted for trade inventory changes and calendar differences. PM USA’s cigarette volume performance is summarized in Table 6 below. The difference in PM USA’s volume decline rate versus the total cigarette industry is due primarily to volume lost during the period of FET-related price gap dislocation and share losses on unsupported brands due to higher retail prices.

Note: Volume includes units sold as well as promotional units, but excludes Puerto Rico, U.S. Territories, Overseas Military, Duty Free and 2008 contract manufacturing for PMI; percent volume change calculation is based on units to the nearest million.
Marlboro’s retail share declined 0.6 share points in the second quarter of 2009 due primarily to increased competitive promotional activity in April and May, which widened the price gap betweenMarlboroand the lowest priced brands to about 50%. During April and May, the discount category’s retail share grew to 27.5%. As the quarter progressed, the price gaps closed to 40% by early June as the lowest priced brands’ retail prices increased. The closure of these price gaps, and changes to PM USA’s promotional programs in June, resulted inMarlboro sequentially gaining share throughout the month.Marlboro’s retail share at the end of June was the same as its share in the first quarter of 2009 at 42.4%. At the beginning of June, the discount category’s retail share reached 28.0% and ended the month at 26.8%.
For the first six months of 2009,Marlboro’s retail share was unchanged versus the prior-year period. PM USA’s promotional spending on a per pack basis was essentially the same in the first and second quarters of 2009. PM USA’s cigarette retail share performance is summarized in Table 7 below.
Marlboro Menthol’s retail share increased 0.4 share points to 5.6% in the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, at the end of the second quarter, PM USA began shipping a new menthol line extension,Marlboro Blend No. 54, to continue to build onMarlboro’s success in the menthol segment.

Note: Retail share performance is based on data from the Information Resources, Inc. IRI/Capstone Integrated Retail Panel, which is a tracking service that uses a sample of stores to project market share performance in retail stores selling cigarettes. The panel was not designed to capture sales through other channels, including the Internet and direct mail. Effective in the first quarter of 2009, cigarettes segment retail share results are based on a new retail tracking service, the IRI/Capstone Integrated Retail Panel. This new service was developed to provide a comprehensive measure of market share in retail outlets selling cigarettes similar to the previous service. Market share data for 2008 has been restated to reflect this new service.
SMOKELESS PRODUCTS
Business Results
Altria acquired UST and its smokeless tobacco business, USSTC, on January 6, 2009. As a result, USSTC’s financial results from January 6 through June 30, 2009 are included in Altria’s 2009 consolidated and segment results for the six months ending June 30, 2009. In addition, the smokeless products segment includes PM USA’sMarlboro smokeless products.
In the second quarter of 2009, net revenues for the smokeless products segment were $373 million, and revenues net of excise taxes were $349 million. For the first six months of 2009, net revenues were $671 million, and revenues net of excise taxes were $635 million.
Reported OCI in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2009 was negatively impacted by costs related primarily to the acquisition of UST, consisting of employee separation costs, integration costs and inventory adjustments, as well as costs associated withMarlborosmokeless products, and actions taken to enhance the value equation on USSTC’s moist smokeless tobacco (MST) brands. Excluding exit, integration and acquisition-related costs, adjusted OCI was $213 million in the second quarter and $339 million for the first six months of 2009 as shown in Table 8 below.

USSTC’s second-quarter domestic MST shipment volume of 166.1 million cans was 3.4% lower than the prior-year period, but was estimated to be essentially flat when adjusted for trade inventory changes, the discontinuation of multi-pack deals and the discontinuation of itsRooster brand. The trade reduced inventory levels on USSTC’s products as the company transitioned from multi-pack deals to everyday low pricing, eliminating the need for promotional inventory.
For the first six months of 2009, USSTC’s domestic MST shipment volume of 317.6 million cans was 4.3% lower than the prior-year period, but was estimated to be down about 2% when adjusted for trade inventory changes related primarily to the FET increase, the discontinuation of multi-pack deals and the discontinuation of itsRooster brand. USSTC believes that the long-term growth rate for MST industry volume remains 6% to 7%. USSTC’s MST volume performance is summarized in Table 9 below.

Note: Volume includes cans sold as well as promotional units, and excludes international volume. Volume from 2008 represents domestic volume shipped by USSTC prior to the UST acquisition. Additionally, six months ended June 30, 2009 includes 10.9 million cans of domestic volume shipped by USSTC prior to the UST acquisition. Percent volume change calculation is based on units to the nearest thousand.
USSTC’s total MST retail share in the second quarter of 2009 was down 1.1 share points versus the first quarter of 2009, primarily driven by USSTC’s discount brand portfolio, which
declined 0.9 share points. USSTC enhanced the value equation onCopenhagen andSkoal with a list price reduction of 62 cents per can that was effective on March 29, 2009. USSTC’s premium retail share stabilized as it began and ended the second quarter of 2009 at the same level. Additionally, USSTC’s premium revenue share increased 6.6 share points versus the first quarter of 2009 as the company eliminated multi-pack deals. USSTC’s MST retail quarterly share results are summarized in Table 10 below.

CIGARS
Business Results
In the second quarter of 2009, the cigars segment business results were impacted by the April 1, 2009 FET increase. Unlike cigarettes and moist smokeless tobacco, there was no floor tax associated with the FET increase for machine-made large cigars, and the trade accumulated inventories during the first quarter in advance of the FET increase. In the second quarter, the trade fully depleted this FET-related inventory. Additionally, the trade further reduced inventories in the second quarter as Middleton migrated to the Altria Sales & Distribution system, which benefited the trade by significantly reducing order delivery times.
In the second quarter of 2009, net revenues for the cigars segment increased 16.8% to $118 million, reflecting higher pricing related primarily to the FET increase. However, revenues net of excise taxes decreased 12.9% to $74 million, due primarily to lower volume. For the first six months of 2009, net revenues for cigars increased 21.4% to $233 million, reflecting higher pricing and excise taxes, and revenues net of excise taxes increased 7.5% to $173 million, due primarily to higher pricing. Revenues for cigars are summarized in Table 11 below.

Reported second quarter OCI for cigars decreased 28.0% versus the prior-year period to $36 million, due to lower volume, partially offset by higher pricing. Excluding integration costs, cigars OCI decreased 21.6% versus the prior-year period to $40 million. For the first six months of 2009, reported OCI for cigars declined 1.1% to $90 million. Excluding integration costs, cigars OCI increased 3.2% to $97 million as shown in Table 12 below.

Middleton’s second-quarter cigar volume declined 23.8% versus the prior-year period to 270 million units, and for the first six months of 2009, Middleton’s cigar shipment volume declined 7.8% versus the prior-year period. Volume results in the three- and six-month periods were estimated to have grown moderately when adjusted for changes in trade inventories, calendar differences and the timing of promotional shipments. Middleton believes that the long-term growth rate for total machine-made large cigars industry volume remains 3% to 4%, however, the industry growth rate may have slowed in the second quarter. Volume for cigars is summarized in Table 13 below.

WINE
Business Results
Altria acquired UST and its premium wine business, SMWE, on January 6, 2009. As a result, SMWE’s financial results from January 6 through June 30, 2009 are included in Altria’s 2009 consolidated and segment results for the six months ending June 30, 2009.
Net revenues for the wine segment in the second quarter of 2009 were $94 million. The wine segment’s reported second-quarter OCI was $9 million, which included integration and acquisition-related costs of $6 million. Adjusted for these costs, the wine segment’s second quarter OCI was $15 million. For the first six months of 2009, the wine segment’s reported OCI was $10 million, which included exit, integration and acquisition costs of $14 million. Adjusted for these costs, the wine segment’s OCI was $24 million for the six months ending June 30, 2009.
In the second quarter of 2009, SMWE’s wine shipment volume of 1.4 million cases was 1.5% lower than the prior-year period as wholesalers continued to reduce wine inventories. SMWE’s wine volume performance is summarized in Table 15 below.

Note: Volume from 2008 represents domestic volume shipped by SMWE prior to the UST acquisition. Percent volume change calculation is based on units to the nearest hundred.
SMWE’s volume from wholesale to retail increased approximately 5% in the second quarter and first half of 2009, due primarily to higher off-premise channel volume that includes supermarkets and liquor stores, partially offset by lower on-premise channel volume that includes restaurants and bars. Retail volume, as measured by Nielsen Total Wine Database – U.S. Food & Drug, increased approximately 12% in the second quarter and first half of 2009 versus the prior-year periods.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Business Results
Reported OCI for the financial services segment in the second quarter of 2009 increased $53 million versus the prior-year period to $83 million, due primarily to higher gains on asset sales, partially offset by a $15 million increase in the allowance for losses. The allowance for losses at the end of the second quarter was $315 million. For the first six months of 2009,
reported OCI for the financial services segment increased $99 million versus the prior-year period to $203 million, due primarily to higher gains on asset sales.
PMCC remains focused on managing its portfolio of leased assets in order to maximize financial contributions to Altria. PMCC is not making new investments and expects that its OCI will vary over time as investments mature or are sold.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This press release contains projections of future results and other forward-looking statements that involve 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 and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in the projections and forward-looking statements included in this press release are described in Altria’s publicly filed reports, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009.
These factors include the following: Altria’s tobacco businesses (PM USA, USSTC and Middleton) are subject to intense price competition; changes in consumer preferences and demand for their products; fluctuations in raw material availability, quality and cost; reliance on key facilities and suppliers; fluctuations in levels of customer inventories; the effects of global, national and local economic and market conditions; changes to income tax laws; legislation, including actual and potential federal and state excise tax increases; increasing marketing and regulatory restrictions; the effects of price increases related to excise tax increases and concluded
tobacco litigation settlements on consumption rates and consumer preferences within price segments; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; governmental regulation, including the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act that granted the Food and Drug Administration broad authority to regulate tobacco products; privately imposed smoking restrictions; and governmental and grand jury investigations.
Their results are dependent upon their continued ability to promote brand equity successfully; to anticipate and respond to new consumer trends; to develop new products and markets and to broaden brand portfolios in order to compete effectively; and to improve productivity.
There can be no assurance that Altria will achieve the synergies expected of the UST acquisition.
Altria’s subsidiaries continue to be subject to litigation, including risks associated with adverse jury and judicial determinations, courts reaching conclusions at variance with the companies’ understanding of applicable law and bonding requirements in the limited number of jurisdictions that do not limit the dollar amount of appeal bonds. Altria cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete and does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that it may make other than in the normal course of its public disclosure obligations. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Altria or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above.
