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 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.
Altria Group, Inc. detailed new compensation packages for its incoming CEO and CFO and outlined retirement and consulting arrangements for its former CEO. Salvatore Mancuso, now CEO and a salary band A employee, will receive a $1,350,000 annual base salary, a grant of 40,634 restricted stock units and 37,246 performance stock units vesting in 2031, plus incentive and long-term equity targets tied to multi-year performance cycles. Heather A. Newman, the new CFO and a salary band B employee, will receive an $800,000 base salary with incentive and LTIP targets aligned to her band.
Former CEO William F. Gifford, Jr. will receive pro-rated incentive payments and cash in lieu of unvested RSUs and PSUs, with aggregate illustrative values of $6,859,062 for RSUs and $7,837,712 for PSUs at target performance, while forfeiting future equity eligibility. He will also serve as a consultant from May 15 through December 31, 2026 at $250,000 per month. Shareholders elected 10 directors, ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor, and approved, on an advisory basis, compensation for named executive officers.
Altria Group, Inc. reported solid first-quarter 2026 results and reaffirmed its full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $5.56 to $5.72, a projected 2.5% to 5.5% increase from $5.42 in 2025. Net revenues rose 3.2% to $5.4 billion and revenues net of excise taxes grew 5.3% to $4.8 billion, driven mainly by smokeable products.
Reported diluted EPS more than doubled to $1.30, reflecting higher operating income and lapping prior-year impairment charges, while adjusted diluted EPS increased 7.3% to $1.32. The smokeable products segment delivered 5.2% growth in revenues net of excise taxes and 6.3% growth in adjusted operating companies income, with higher margins. Oral tobacco products posted modest revenue and income growth but continued share pressure.
Altria returned substantial cash to shareholders, repurchasing 4.5 million shares for $280 million at an average price of $62.33 and paying $1.8 billion in dividends in the quarter.
