MANAGEMENTS PERSPECTIVE
We have completed a very successful first nine months for RAI, with excellent operating performance at all of our reportable business segments, said Susan M. Cameron, president and chief executive officer of RAI. Newports and Natural American Spirits continued strong marketplace performance, along with higher pricing and productivity improvements, helped drive further growth in RAIs third-quarter earnings and margin.
A highlight of the quarter was RAIs selection to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the eighth time. We understand that with the growth of our companies businesses, there is an increased expectation that we will continue to lead the transformation of our industry, and that we will champion sustainable business practices, Cameron said. These efforts are crucial for our long-term success, and Im especially proud that this year RAI attained the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index designation for the top-performing tobacco company worldwide for the first time.

Cameron said that RAI Innovations Company and its subsidiaries are making progress on the mission to redefine the vapor category with the development of leading-edge products. As part of R.J. Reynolds Vapor Companys work on a variety of vapor platforms, the company plans to expand the availability of VUSE VIBE, a high-volume cartridge and closed-tank system with a rechargeable battery, later this year, she said. VIBE offers more liquid than previous VUSE products, as well as a stronger and longer-lasting battery. VIBE is designed to hit the sweet spot that adult vapers tell us they want, and thats the ease of use of a cigalike product combined with the performance of a tank system.
RAI USE OF ADJUSTED (NON-GAAP) FINANCIAL MEASURES
Reynolds American reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP measures within this press release are referred to as reported, and Non-GAAP measures are identified as adjusted.
RAI management uses adjusted measurements, which exclude certain income and expense items in its reported results that management believes are not part of RAIs underlying business operations, to set performance goals and as a means to measure the performance of RAI and its operating companies. RAI management believes that these adjusted measurements provide useful insight into RAI and its operating companies ongoing businesses, and that investors understanding of the underlying performance of the companies continuing operations is enhanced through their disclosure.
Adjusted results are not consistent with reported results and may be calculated differently from similar financial measures used by other companies. RAIs use of adjusted results is intended to be supplemental in nature, and should not be viewed as a substitute for reported results.
RAIs full-year adjusted EPS guidance reflects the impact of certain income and expense items, including those items noted in the reconciliation tables provided in Schedule 2 of this press release. RAIs management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these items on its reported EPS because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. As a result, RAI does not provide a corresponding reported measure for, or reconciliation to, its adjusted EPS guidance.
Reconciliations of reported (GAAP) results to adjusted (Non-GAAP) results are detailed in Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 of this press release.
COMBUSTIBLES
Total third-quarter domestic cigarette volumes for RAIs operating companies decreased 1.5 percent from the prior-year quarter, and increased 16.6 percent for the first nine months of 2016. Comparisons for the first nine months are largely driven by the addition of the Newport brand in June 2015.
Industry cigarette volume was down 1.6 percent in the third quarter, which was positively impacted by changes to wholesale inventory levels. When adjusted for wholesale inventory changes, third-quarter industry shipments were down approximately 3.4 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, and were down approximately 1.8 percent for the first nine months of 2016 versus the comparable period of 2015.
3
In the third quarter of 2016, total RAI operating companies retail cigarette market share increased 0.3 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 34.6 percent, and also increased 0.3 percentage points for the first nine months versus the prior-year period.

These brands currently make up 93 percent of RAI operating companies total cigarette retail market share.

Third-quarter adjusted operating income was $1.34 billion, up 8.7 percent. These results reflect the impact of adjustments as detailed in Schedule 3.
For the first nine months, RJR Tobaccos reported operating income was $3.63 billion, up 48.6 percent from the prior-year period. Nine-month adjusted operating income was $3.72 billion, up 37.5 percent, reflecting the impact of adjustments as detailed in Schedule 3.
RJR Tobacco continued to improve the mix of premium cigarette volume, reflected in an adjusted operating margin increase of 3.7 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 50.4 percent. That brought nine-month adjusted operating margin to 48.3 percent.
RJR Tobaccos third-quarter cigarette shipments decreased 2.5 percent from the prior-year quarter.
Third-quarter retail market share was in line with the prior-year quarter, at 32.3 percent. The combined third-quarter retail market share of RJR Tobaccos cigarette drive brands Newport, Camel and Pall Mall increased 0.1 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 29.9 percent.
The companys Newport brand, the nations best-selling menthol cigarette brand, continued to perform very well, benefiting from increased national visibility resulting from the brands inclusion in the companys retail contracts. The brand increased third-quarter retail market share by 0.4 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 13.9 percent, with growth across its styles.
Camel continues to benefit from RJR Tobaccos enhanced product portfolio, and ongoing investments in equity-building initiatives have positioned the brand well for future growth. Camels third-quarter cigarette retail market share was up 0.2 percentage points from the end of 2015, and was down 0.1 percentage point from the prior-year quarter, at 8.3 percent.
Pall Mall, the nations No. 1 value brand, continued to improve its profitability while maintaining market share. Pall Malls third-quarter retail market share was in line with the second quarter of 2016, and was down 0.2 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, at 7.7 percent.
Santa Fe
Santa Fe reported strong performance in the third quarter, increasing operating income by 27.7 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, to $154 million, benefiting from higher pricing and volumes on its Natural American Spirit brand. Nine-month operating income was $410 million, up 21.6 percent from the prior-year period.
4
Santa Fes third-quarter operating margin increased 2.7 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 57.9 percent, and that brought nine-month operating margin to 56.2 percent.
Natural American Spirit, which offers differentiated products and premium positioning, continued to make substantial marketplace progress. The nations fastest growing premium cigarette brand gained 0.3 percentage points of retail market share from the prior-year quarter, to 2.3 percent, and that was on volume growth of 15.7 percent.
MOIST SNUFF
American Snuff

American Snuffs third-quarter operating margin decreased 0.3 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 57.2 percent, and that brought nine-month operating margin to 59.4 percent, up 0.8 percentage points from the prior-year period.
American Snuffs Grizzly brand continued to perform well in the face of significant competitive activity throughout the year. The brands third-quarter retail market share was down 0.4 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, at 30.7 percent, but was up 0.2 percentage points from the second quarter of 2016. Grizzlys third-quarter volume rose by 2.9 percent from the prior-year quarter, compared to moist-snuff industry volume growth of about 3.4 percent.
Grizzly began the national expansion of its Dark Mint style in September, building on the marketplace success of its Dark Wintergreen expansion last year. Grizzly leads the overall wintergreen category the largest flavor category in the industry as well as the pouch category, which now makes up more than 20 percent of the total moist-snuff industry.
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Reynolds Americans third-quarter reported EPS of $0.60 was up 30.4 percent from the prior-year quarter, a comparison that was positively impacted by higher net pricing as well as prior-year implementation and asset impairment costs.
Third-quarter adjusted EPS was $0.61, up 10.9 percent from the prior-year quarter, benefitting from higher cigarette pricing and higher moist-snuff volume and pricing. Third-quarter adjusted EPS excludes a charge of $0.01 per share related to Engle progeny lawsuits.
For the nine months, the companys reported EPS was $3.65, up 49.0 percent from the prior-year period. Nine-month adjusted EPS was $1.69, up 12.7 percent, excluding the charges related to Engle progeny lawsuits and implementation costs, as well as a $2.11 per-share gain on divestiture related to the sale of Natural American Spirits international rights, and a charge of $0.11 per share for debt and financing costs earlier this year.
RAIs third-quarter adjusted operating margin increased 4.1 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 48.5 percent. That brought nine-month adjusted operating margin to 46.6 percent, up 4.9 percentage points from the first nine months of last year.
5
RAI ended the quarter with cash balances of $1.9 billion, which included the repayment of the companys outstanding $500 million bond that matured on Aug. 4. This further reduction in total outstanding debt, as well as the continued growth in RAIs operating companies businesses, placed RAI within its stated long-term debt leverage range.
As part of the companys pledge to consider additional opportunities to return value to RAI shareholders once it moved within this targeted leverage range, RAI announced on July 26 that it had increased its dividend payout target to 80 percent of adjusted net income, resulting in a 9.5 percent increase in the companys quarterly cash dividend.
At that time, RAI also announced a new $2.0 billion share repurchase program, scheduled for completion by year-end 2018. In the third quarter, RAI repurchased $75 million of its common stock.
Based on the successful third-quarter and nine-month performance, RAI has tightened its 2016 adjusted EPS guidance range, which now stands at a range of $2.27 to $2.33, representing growth of 14.6 percent to 17.7 percent over last years adjusted EPS of $1.98. Our updated 2016 guidance reflects our current cigarette industry outlook, along with our increased investment in innovation, regulatory compliance and the current state political processes, said Andrew Gilchrist, RAIs chief financial officer.
With our established marketplace momentum and strong balance sheet, we believe the company is well-positioned to continue delivering compelling business results and value to our shareholders, Gilchrist concluded.

* | Market share information is included for RJR Tobacco and Santa Fe to provide enhanced analysis of their brands performance. For brands that were acquired in the Lorillard Merger, share information is displayed as if the brands were part of the portfolio for all time periods shown. Brands that were part of the Divestiture to ITG Brands have been removed for all presented time periods. Accordingly, these pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the Merger and Divestiture had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. |
* | The universe of industry participants that MSAi uses to estimate RJR Tobaccos and Santa Fes cigarette shipments to retail market shares has been revised to reflect the new universe of direct customers as a result of the Merger. The revision results in higher absolute share levels in 2015 on some of RJR Tobaccos and Santa Fes brands, but does not affect overall share trends. Prior-year market share data has been restated on this basis for comparison purposes. |
