Altria Group (MO) Q2 2019 earnings results

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, rose 5% year-over-year due to higher net revenues in the smokeable products segment. GAAP EPS increased 8% to $1.07, while non-GAAP EPS rose 9%.

Altria reaffirmed its full-year 2019 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.15 to $4.27, representing a growth rate of 4% to 7% from an adjusted EPS base of $3.99 in 2018.

The Richmond, Virginia-based firm now estimates full-year 2019 domestic cigarette industry volume to decline in a range of 5% to 6% compared to the prior estimated decline rate of 4% to 5%. This revision was due to increased adult smoker movement to the e-vapor category.

“We’ve maintained our focus on the adult tobacco consumer and believe that with our leading premium tobacco brands, U.S. commercialization rights to IQOS, investment in JUUL and pending transaction for on!, we are best positioned among tobacco peers to lead through a dynamic time in the U.S.,” said CEO Howard Willard.
