Reynolds American Reports Full Year/Fourth Quarter 2004 Results;
Announces Guidance for 2005; Unveils New Brand Portfolio Strategy

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Feb. 15, 2005 – Reynolds American Inc. (NYSE: RAI) today reported results for full-year and fourth-quarter 2004, and announced its full-year guidance for 2005. The company also announced the new brand portfolio strategy for its largest subsidiary, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (R.J. Reynolds).

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 and the U.S. operations of Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation (B&W). At that time, Lane Limited (Lane), a tobacco products manufacturer and distributor, was also acquired by RAI. Other RAI subsidiaries include R.J. Reynolds Global Products, Inc. and Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc. (Santa Fe).

The full-year 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 through December. To provide additional perspective on the company’s current performance, RAI is also presenting certain pro-forma GAAP measurements.

“2004 was a year in which we began to build the foundation for Reynolds American’s future,” said Susan M. Ivey, Reynolds American’s chief executive officer and president. “Several initiatives helped drive our solid financial performance in 2004. We completed the merger, moved quickly to integrate the combined businesses and captured initial merger-related synergies of about $75 million, which will build to annualized savings of approximately $600 million by year-end 2006. During 2004, we also essentially completed the restructuring RJR announced in 2003, and ended the year ahead of schedule, by reaching 95 percent of our $1 billion goal in cost reductions.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

RAI’s fourth-quarter and full-year results follow in two sections: one that presents as-reported (GAAP) measurements, and a second section that provides pro-forma information.

Net income of $688 million, or $6.17 per diluted share, compares with a net loss of $3.45 billion, or $41.17 per share for full-year 2003. The loss in 2003 was driven by restructuring and impairment charges of $4.25 billion after tax, partially offset by $412 million in favorable resolutions of tax matters.

•   $175 million in favorable tax resolutions, including a $49 million gain on RJR’s acquisition of Nabisco Group Holdings in 2000; and

Fourth-quarter 2004 operating income of $49 million compares with an operating loss of $473 million in the prior-year quarter. The loss in the fourth quarter of 2003 was driven by $608 million of restructuring and non-cash fixture and goodwill impairment charges.

Based on information from Management Science Associates, Inc. (MSAi), industry volume for the fourth quarter of 2004 was essentially stable at 98.2 billion units, compared to the prior-year period. The industry’s full-price to savings-brand mix was 69.8 percent for the fourth quarter of 2004, up 0.3 percentage points from the year-ago quarter. For the full year, total industry volume was 393.9 billion units, down 1.8 percent from 2003. The industry’s full-price mix for the full year was 69.7 percent, up 0.9 percentage points from the prior year. MSAi data for the year indicate that volume for deep-discount brands remained level at approximately 15 percent of total industry volume.

On a pro-forma GAAP basis, Reynolds American’s full-year and fourth-quarter 2004 earnings increased significantly due to charges associated with the prior-year 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 2003 pre-tax restructuring and impairment charges totaling $618 million for the fourth quarter and $4.75 billion for the full year. In addition, 2003 results were favorably impacted by $96 million associated with a change in a returned-goods policy.

Reynolds American’s full-year and fourth-quarter 2004 operating earnings benefited from the strategic changes initiated in 2003 and $75 million of merger-related synergies for the year ($45 million in the fourth quarter). Fourth-quarter earnings also benefited by $69 million related to the growers’ trust. In addition to volume declines, 2004 earnings were impacted by restructuring, impairment, legal settlement, returned goods and merger-related expenses of $461 million ($327 million in the fourth quarter).

2004 pro-forma net income was impacted by the factors discussed above, as well as tax favorabilities totaling $175 million and a $12 million full-year gain ($11 million in the fourth quarter) related to the 1999 sale of RJR’s international tobacco business. 2003 pro-forma net income also included favorability of $412 million associated with the resolution of prior-year tax matters.

For both the full-year and the quarter, the performance of the company’s full-price brands was stronger than that of its savings brands. Full-price mix for full-year 2004 was 59.3 percent, up 1.5 percentage points from the prior year. The full-price mix for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 59.2 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2003.

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 periods presented.

R.J. Reynolds’ 2004 share of U.S. retail cigarette sales was 30.82 percent, down 1.27 percentage points from 2003. Fourth-quarter share was 30.66 percent, down 0.79 percentage points from the prior-year period. Share losses were driven by non-investment brands, including strategic decisions on Winston, Doral and private-label brands.

Camel, Kool, Salem and Pall Mall were the R.J. Reynolds and B&W investment brands prior to the business combination. While R.J. Reynolds developed its new, post-merger brand-portfolio strategy, which is discussed below, the company continued to implement the programs that had been independently developed for those four brands prior to the merger.

During 2004, the combined fourth-quarter share of those four key brands was 13.33 percent, up 0.77 points from the fourth quarter of 2003. For the full year, the share of those four brands was 13.16 percent, up 0.67 percentage points from the prior year. That growth was driven by Camel and Pall Mall, which each gained one-third of a share point in 2004. While there was modest movement on Salem and Kool in 2004, on a combined basis, they were relatively stable for the year.

R.J. Reynolds’ Brand Portfolio Strategy

A key RAI objective following the merger was the development of a new brand-portfolio strategy for R.J. Reynolds. A comprehensive analysis of each brand led to a new brand-portfolio strategy that focuses the organization and resources of the company on its highest-potential premium brands. The new portfolio strategy establishes three categories of brands: investment brands, selective support brands and non-support brands.

As R.J. Reynolds’ two investment brands, Camel and Kool will be the company’s highest-priority brands. Significant equity building resources have been reallocated to focus on accelerating Camel and Kool’s share-of-market growth.

Camel, R.J. Reynolds’ largest and fastest-growing full-price brand, has a track record of consistent share growth and marketplace momentum. Camel’s relevant, powerful and unique Pleasure to Burn positioning has made it one of the few full-price brands in the industry that has shown sustained growth. Kool’s heritage and its proven appeal among competitive menthol smokers also provide an excellent platform for future growth. The company believes that executional excellence, creativity and innovation in the marketplace are the keys to accelerating the growth of Camel and Kool.

R.J. Reynolds’ selective support brands include two full-price brands, Winston and Salem, and two savings brands, Doral and Pall Mall. The objective for Winston and Salem is to moderate share declines while optimizing profitability. On the two savings brands, the objective is to maintain a viable presence in the savings category while optimizing profits. Selective-support brands will be competitively priced and will receive limited marketing support, focused primarily on maintaining brand loyalty among their current smokers.

R.J. Reynolds’ non-support brands will be managed to maximize their profitability and will receive no equity marketing support. In line with this strategy, the company expects significant volume declines on its non-support brands, many of which are higher-margin full-price brands.

R.J. Reynolds believes that this focused portfolio strategy, combined with merger-related synergies and continuous productivity improvements, will deliver profit growth. Over a longer period of time, the company expects growth in total company share, as gains on investment brands offset declines among other brands.

“We are committed to sustainable earnings growth and creating shareholder value by maximizing the potential of our operating businesses,” said Ivey. “Growth through the new brand-portfolio strategy, combined with a relentless focus on productivity and operating our business with the highest responsibility and integrity, gives R.J. Reynolds a solid platform for success. We are also creating a high-performance culture that leverages the talent and passion of our employees and will drive our future results.”

Reynolds American Outlook

“The guidance we are giving today reflects anticipated earnings growth in 2005 based on capturing merger synergies and implementing R.J. Reynolds’ new brand-portfolio strategy,” said Dianne M. Neal, Reynolds American’s chief financial officer.

Neal said that for full-year 2005, Reynolds American forecasts:

•   Operating income of $1.65 billion to $1.75 billion;

•   Net income of $970 million to $1.030 billion; and

•   Diluted earnings per share of $6.55 to $6.95.

Among the factors contributing to operating results are:

•   Incremental synergies of $325 million to $375 million;

•   One-time merger-related expenses of approximately $100 million;

•   Merger-related depreciation and amortization of approximately $50 million; and

•   Total MSA and quota buyout expenses of approximately $2.8 billion, which includes a Phase II growers’ trust benefit of approximately $75 million.

Neal said that R.J. Reynolds expects a 6-to-8 percent volume decline in 2005 due to share declines that will occur as resources are shifted away from prior investment brands, as well as on-going declines on non-support brands.

She also said the 2005 forecast does not include the impact of a final ruling concerning a refund of 2004 Phase II payments, or charges associated with the pending sale of the company’s packaging division.

Reynolds American expects to end 2005 with cash and short-term investments of approximately $2.0 billion, including $200 million to $250 million in merger-related cash costs. The company expects to end the year with $1.6 billion in debt. Neal noted that the company will be evaluating alternatives concerning pre-funding 2006 maturities of approximately $500 million.

“Reynolds American is off to a terrific start,” Neal said. “We are pleased with the progress Reynolds American is making in building a strong foundation to create additional shareholder value.”
