Briefing
Altria's first-quarter results for 2022 reflect a strong start to the year, with the businesses on track to deliver against their full-year plans, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Altria Group, Inc. reported a decrease in net revenues by 2.4% to $5.9 billion, but an increase in adjusted diluted EPS by 4.7% to $1.12. The company reaffirms its guidance for 2022 full-year adjusted diluted EPS in a range of $4.79 to $4.93.
- Net revenues decreased 2.4% to $5.9 billion, primarily driven by the sale of the wine business.
- Reported diluted EPS increased 40.3% to $1.08, primarily driven by 2021 losses on early extinguishment of debt.
- Adjusted diluted EPS increased 4.7% to $1.12, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI, fewer shares outstanding and favorable interest expense, partially offset by lower adjusted earnings from investment in ABI.
- The company reaffirms its guidance to deliver 2022 full-year adjusted diluted EPS in a range of $4.79 to $4.93.
