MANAGEMENT’S PERSPECTIVE

Overview

“Reynolds American’s reportable business segments continued to make excellent progress in the first quarter, with strong market-share gains on all their key brands,” said Daniel M. Delen, president and chief executive officer of RAI.

“As we previously noted, R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company is investing heavily in the expansion of its highly differentiated VUSE Digital Vapor Cigarette this year, and this spending impacted RAI’s first-quarter earnings and margin as expected,” Delen said.

Delen said that first-quarter performance reflected three key strengths of RAI’s operating companies — excellence in innovation, superior engagement with adult tobacco consumers and efficient execution. “These strategies are not just effective for success in a transformative environment; they also form the core of our companies’ competitive advantage,” he said.

VUSE digital vapor cigarettes continued to perform extremely well during the quarter, Delen said. “VUSE is now widely available in Utah stores, its second major market, and I’m pleased to report that the brand has already captured the dominant share in that state. VUSE also remains the best-selling vapor product in Colorado.”

Delen said that VUSE is on track for the initial wave of its national distribution this summer, adding that spending on the brand will continue to build in the second quarter in preparation for the expansion and increased production capacity.

As noted earlier this year, the projection universe that the company’s vendor uses to estimate RAI’s operating companies’ retail cigarette and moist-snuff market shares has been revised for 2014, with the primary focus now on the convenience/gas channel, where the majority of tobacco products are purchased and brand-support investments are made. This revision results in higher absolute share levels on some of the companies’ key brands, but does not affect overall share trends. Prior-year market share data have been restated on this basis for comparison purposes.

RAI reaffirmed 2014 adjusted EPS growth of 3.5 percent to 8.2 percent over 2013’s adjusted results.

“I should note that our earnings guidance for the full year reflects the VUSE investment, as well as the equity-building initiatives on our companies’ key brands, which are key to our strategy of delivering sustainable growth in an evolving marketplace,” Delen said.

As RAI previously announced on April 16, Susan M. Cameron will succeed Delen as president and chief executive officer, effective May 1.

RJR Tobacco

RJR Tobacco’s first-quarter adjusted operating income of $555 million was down 1.4 percent from the prior-year quarter as lower cigarette volume and the timing of certain sales and marketing expenses more than offset higher pricing. Adjusted results exclude a charge of $69 million related to Engle progeny lawsuits and $4 million in implementation costs.

RJR Tobacco’s first-quarter adjusted operating margin of 35.5 percent was down 0.5 percentage points from the prior-year quarter.

RJR Tobacco’s first-quarter cigarette shipments declined 3.8 percent from the prior-year quarter while industry volume declined 2.7 percent. After adjusting for wholesale inventory changes, RJR Tobacco estimates that its volume was down 5.2 percent in the quarter, while industry volumes were down approximately 4.4 percent.

RJR Tobacco’s total first-quarter cigarette market share increased 0.1 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 26.7 percent, as gains on the company’s two growth brands more than offset declines on its other brands.

These growth brands, Camel and Pall Mall, continued their strong performance in the first quarter, increasing their combined share by 0.7 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 19.4 percent.

Camel increased first-quarter market share by 0.4 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 10.0 percent, largely driven by gains on the brand’s premium menthol styles. Camel’s menthol market share of 4.2 percent reflected an increase of 0.3 percentage points in the quarter.

Camel SNUS continued to dominate the growing snus category, maintaining a share of about 80 percent in the first quarter. Camel SNUS gives adult tobacco consumers the freedom to “Taste It All” and enjoy tobacco pleasure on their own terms.

Once again, the strength of Pall Mall was evident in the quarter, with market share increasing 0.3 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 9.5 percent. Pall Mall, which offers a longer-lasting cigarette at an affordable price, is the nation’s No. 1 value brand by a wide margin.

American Snuff

A double-digit gain in moist-snuff volume and higher pricing drove growth in American Snuff’s first-quarter operating income, which increased 9.2 percent from the prior-year quarter, to $102 million.

American Snuff’s first-quarter operating margin of 55.1 percent saw a modest decline from the prior-year quarter as the company continued to invest in equity-building initiatives on the Grizzly brand.

 

4


The company’s first-quarter moist-snuff volume increased 10.7 percent from the prior-year quarter, outpacing the industry’s growth of about 4 percent. As a result, the company’s first-quarter moist-snuff market share increased 0.8 percentage points, to 34.6 percent.

American Snuff’s powerful Grizzly brand continues to deliver strong growth in both volume and market share, dispite the significant increase in competitive promotional levels. American Snuff increased promotional support on Grizzly in the quarter in response to the increased competitive activity.

In the first quarter, Grizzly grew market share by 1.1 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 31.5 percent, while the brand’s volume increased by 12.1 percent. Grizzly Wide Cut Wintergreen was expanded nationally during the quarter, and is proving to be a very successful addition to the Grizzly product portfolio.

Santa Fe

Santa Fe continued to deliver robust performance, with first-quarter operating income up 24.9 percent from the adjusted prior-year quarter, to $65 million, benefiting from higher volume and pricing.

Santa Fe’s first-quarter operating margin increased 3.1 percentage points, to 48.3 percent.

Natural American Spirit, now a Top 10 cigarette brand, delivered a market-share gain of 0.2 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 1.5 percent, while the brand’s volume increased 10.7 percent.

The strength of Natural American Spirit, which remains an undiscounted brand in the super-premium category, lies in its distinctive additive-free natural tobacco styles, including styles made with organic tobacco, as well as its loyal adult consumer franchise.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Reynolds American’s first-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.72 was in line with the prior-year quarter, as cigarette volume declines, increased investment on the VUSE expansion, and the timing of certain sales and marketing expenses offset higher pricing and the impact of the share repurchase program.

Adjusted EPS excludes a gain from discontinued operations, charges for Engle progeny lawsuits and tobacco-related and other litigation, and implementation costs.

On a reported basis, first-quarter EPS was $0.67, down 27.2 percent.

RAI’s adjusted operating margin declined 2.2 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 34.4 percent, reflecting the above-referenced items.

RAI ended the quarter with cash balances of $1.8 billion. On April 15, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company made its MSA payment of $1.5 billion, including $433 million paid into the NPM disputed funds account.

 

5


During the first quarter, RAI purchased 2.9 million shares for $145 million, bringing total repurchases under the company’s current program to 50.6 million shares for $2.2 billion.

“I’m pleased by our operating companies’ first-quarter performance, and they are also doing great work in positioning us for profitable growth over the long term,” Thomas R. Adams, RAI’s chief financial officer, said. “Taking the investment on VUSE and the equity investments in our companies’ key brands into account, we have reaffirmed adjusted EPS guidance for the full year in the range of $3.30 to $3.45.”

Adams noted the company’s Feb. 11 announcement of a 6.3 percent dividend increase to an annualized $2.68, and said that RAI remained fully committed to finding opportunities to further enhance shareholder value.

REYNOLDS AMERICAN INC.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Operating Income by Segment

(Dollars in Millions)

(Unaudited)

The R.J. Reynolds segment consists of the primary operations of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, the second-largest tobacco company in the United States and which also manages a contract manufacturing business.

The American Snuff segment consists of the primary operations of American Snuff Company, LLC, the second-largest smokeless tobacco products manufacturer in the United States.

The Santa Fe segment consists of the primary operations of Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc., which manufactures Natural American Spirit cigarettes and other additive-free tobacco products.

Management uses “adjusted” (non-GAAP) measurements to set performance goals and to measure the performance of the company, and believes that investors’ understanding of the underlying performance of the company’s continuing operations is enhanced through the disclosure of these metrics.

* As noted earlier this year, the projection universe that the company’s vendor uses to estimate RAI’s operating companies’ retail cigarette market shares has been revised for 2014, with the primary focus now on the convenience/gas channel, where the majority of tobacco products are purchased and brand-support investments are made. This revision resulted in higher absolute share levels on some of the companies’ key brands, but does not affect overall share trends.

Amounts are rounded on an individual basis and, accordingly, may not sum in the aggregate.
