ALTRIA GROUP, INC. (MO) SEC Filings

Altria Group, Inc. (MO) reported that its Board of Directors increased the Board size from 10 to 11 members and elected Steven W. Presley as a director, effective August 27, 2026. He was also appointed to the Board’s Compensation and Talent Development, Innovation and Finance Committees as of that date.

The Board determined that Mr. Presley qualifies as an independent director under New York Stock Exchange standards and Altria’s independence standards. He will receive compensation under Altria’s existing program for non-employee directors. On August 28, 2026, Altria issued a press release announcing his election, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 under Regulation FD.

Altria Group, Inc. reported first-half 2026 results with net revenues of $11,539 million compared with $11,361 million in 2025 and net earnings of $4,481 million versus $3,455 million. Basic and diluted EPS were $2.67 versus $2.04. The effective tax rate declined to 22.6% from 28.0%, partly reflecting tax benefits from an IRS audit settlement and the absence of prior-year non-deductible e‑vapor goodwill impairments.

Operating income rose to $6,092 million; smokeable products segment OCI increased, while oral tobacco OCI decreased. Net cash from operating activities was $3,043 million. After $3,556 million of dividends and $335 million of share repurchases, cash and cash equivalents fell to $2,367 million, and total long-term debt (including current portion) was $24,577 million, with availability under a $3.0 billion revolver. The company is incurring restructuring charges for a $180 million USSTC facilities consolidation and a $175 million Optimize & Accelerate initiative, and continues to carry large equity stakes in ABI and Cronos whose fair values exceed their carrying amounts. Altria also remains obligated under state settlement agreements and involved in ongoing tobacco and e‑vapor litigation.

Altria Group, Inc. reported 2026 second‑quarter and first‑half results and narrowed full‑year earnings guidance. In Q2 2026, net revenues were $6.1 billion, up 0.1%, and revenues net of excise taxes were $5.4 billion, up 1.2%. Reported diluted EPS was $1.37, down 2.8%, while adjusted diluted EPS rose 2.8% to $1.48. For the first half, net revenues reached $11.5 billion (up 1.6%), revenues net of excise taxes were $10.1 billion (up 3.1%), reported diluted EPS was $2.67 (up 30.9%) and adjusted diluted EPS was $2.80 (up 4.9%).

Altria raised the lower end of its 2026 full‑year adjusted diluted EPS guidance to a range of $5.61 to $5.72, representing growth of 3.5% to 5.5% from a 2025 base of $5.42. Guidance reflects moderated e‑vapor growth, macroeconomic pressures on adult nicotine consumers, investments including contract manufacturing and its “Optimize & Accelerate” initiative, and the assumption that NJOY ACE does not return in 2026. Expected 2026 capital expenditures increased to $375 million to $450 million, primarily for consolidating USSTC manufacturing.

Shareholder returns remained sizable: in the first half, Altria returned nearly $3.9 billion via dividends and share repurchases, including $335 million spent to repurchase 5.3 million shares, with $665 million remaining under its $2 billion program. Q2 dividends totaled $1.8 billion. Smokeable products posted modest revenue and adjusted OCI growth amid declining cigarette volumes and rising discount mix, while oral tobacco saw lower revenues and OCI as traditional moist snuff volumes and retail share declined, partly offset by growth in on! nicotine pouches and overall oral industry volume.
