(1) During the fourth quarter of 2016, Altria Group, Inc. recorded a non-cash gain, reflecting its share of SABMiller’s increase to shareholders’ equity, resulting from the third quarter of 2016 completion of the SABMiller, The Coca-Cola Company and Gutsche Family Investments transaction, combining bottling operations in Africa. The gain was included in earnings from equity investment in SABMiller, and increased Altria Group, Inc.’s earnings before income taxes ($309 million), net earnings ($201 million), net earnings attributable to Altria Group, Inc. ($201 million) and diluted EPS attributable to Altria Group, Inc. ($0.10) in the fourth quarter of 2016. The impact of recording the gain in the fourth quarter of 2016 rather than the third quarter of 2016 was not material to Altria Group, Inc.’s financial statements in either quarter.

As discussed in Note 15. Income Taxes, Altria Group, Inc. has recognized income tax benefits and charges in the consolidated statements of earnings during 2016 and 2015 as a result of various tax events.
