MANAGEMENT’S PERSPECTIVE
Overview
“I’m very pleased to report that Reynolds American finished the year on a strong note, with additional fourth-quarter gains in our operating companies’ key brands and higher adjusted earnings and margins,” said Susan M. Ivey, RAI’s president and chief executive officer.
“Both of our reportable business segments continued to deliver profitable growth despite a challenging economic environment in 2010 — an excellent performance that demonstrates the strength of their key brands and execution of their business strategies,” Ivey said. “This momentum positions RAI well for the year ahead.”
Ivey said that among the full-year highlights:
    R.J. Reynolds increased adjusted operating income and margin;
 
    American Snuff posted higher adjusted operating income and market share;
 
    Key brands delivered volume and share growth; and
 
    RAI demonstrated its commitment to providing outstanding shareholder value, with a dividend increase, two-for-one stock split and increase in its dividend payout target.
Ivey said that RAI’s Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc. subsidiary continued to deliver robust growth in 2010, with double-digit volume and earnings gains.
She noted RAI’s announcement on Jan. 14 that it plans to sell its Lane, Limited subsidiary, which manufactures a variety of tobacco products, to Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S. “This will allow RAI’s operating companies to devote their energy and resources to the primary growth categories within their businesses,” Ivey said.
“Given the company’s 2010 achievements and positive momentum, this is an appropriate time for me to hand over the reins,” said Ivey, who retires on Feb. 28. “RAI’s operating companies remain sharply focused on enhancing their key brands and improving efficiencies to produce results for today, while also investing in innovative tobacco products for growth over the long term.”
R.J. Reynolds
R.J. Reynolds’ fourth-quarter adjusted operating income increased 5.5 percent to $514 million from the prior-year quarter, as higher cigarette pricing, growth-brand volume gains, productivity improvements and promotional efficiencies more than offset the impact of lower cigarette volume. Adjusted results exclude fourth-quarter costs of $12 million primarily related to cigarette plant closings and expansion of field trade marketing.

“R.J. Reynolds continued to strengthen growth-brand performance while improving productivity, and this drove higher adjusted operating income and margin in the fourth quarter,” said Daniel M. Delen, former president and CEO of R.J. Reynolds and RAI’s president and CEO-elect.
For the full year, adjusted operating income was $2.12 billion, up 4.4 percent from the prior-year period. Adjusted results exclude charges and costs primarily related to cigarette plant closings and the expansion of R.J. Reynolds’ field trade-marketing organization, as well as first-quarter 2009 trademark impairment charges.
The company’s full-year adjusted operating margin also improved, rising 1.2 percentage points from the prior-year period, to 28.9 percent.
“R.J. Reynolds’ productivity efforts continue to reap benefits,” Delen said. “They have reduced product offerings by more than 80 percent, ending 2010 with less than 150 SKUs. Over the year, the company has also eliminated non-essential activities and outsourced those that are non-core, while back-office functions continue to be transferred to RAI Services Company. And as we announced last May, cigarette production is being consolidated at the Tobaccoville manufacturing facility, with the Whitaker Park facility on track for closure by the end of June this year.”
As part of R.J. Reynolds’ efforts to consolidate its operations footprint, the company plans to move its R&D facility to a new building located adjacent to its Tobaccoville manufacturing center. Construction of the new facility will start this summer, and will incorporate sustainable “green” building practices.
R.J. Reynolds’ cigarette growth brands continued to post strong gains in line with the company’s defined brand-portfolio strategy. These gains are significantly offsetting declines on the company’s other cigarette brands. Those declines were driven by private label brands that the company has been de-emphasizing and delisting to reduce complexity and streamline its product offerings.
The company’s total fourth-quarter cigarette market share of 28.3 percent was down 0.2 percentage points from the prior-year quarter. However, excluding the private label brands, R.J. Reynolds’ total cigarette market share was up 1.0 percentage point to 28.1 percent. For the full year, total cigarette market share was 28.1 percent, down 0.2 points from the prior-year period, but its market share was up 0.7 points at 27.5 percent excluding private label brands.
R.J. Reynolds’ fourth-quarter cigarette shipment volume was down 5.1 percent from the prior-year quarter, but down just 1.9 percent excluding private label brands. By comparison, fourth-quarter industry volume declined 4.7 percent. For the full year, R.J. Reynolds’ cigarette shipment volume was also down 5.1 percent from the prior-year period. Excluding private-label brands, volume was down 2.1 percent compared to the industry decline of 3.8 percent.
Both of the company’s growth brands, Camel and Pall Mall, again delivered higher market share and volume. For the fourth quarter, combined growth-brand market share of 16.2 percent was up 2.9 percentage points from the prior-year quarter.

Camel’s fourth-quarter cigarette market share was 8.0 percent, up 0.6 percentage points from the prior-year quarter. For the year, Camel’s market share of 7.7 percent was up 0.2 percentage points from the prior-year period.
Delen said that Camel’s powerful performance and improving demographics continue to be enhanced by the brand’s menthol styles, which utilize R.J. Reynolds’ innovative capsule technology. “These styles offer adult smokers the option of more fresh menthol flavor when they choose,” he said.
Including Camel Crush, Camel’s fourth-quarter menthol market share increased 0.7 percentage points to 2.1 percent. Camel Crush uses the same capsule technology, but this style offers adult smokers the choice of regular or menthol with each cigarette.
Camel SNUS, the brand’s first modern smoke-free product, continues to perform well, with its two new styles — Robust and Winterchill — adding to that performance. These two larger-pouch styles were introduced in the third quarter, and offer adult tobacco consumers a richer, more full-bodied tobacco taste, as well as smoke-free, spit-free convenience. On a moist-snuff equivalent basis, Camel SNUS had a 4.5 percent share in the fourth quarter.
R.J. Reynolds is making product and packaging upgrades to Camel’s new line of innovative dissolvable tobacco products — Orbs, Sticks and Strips — which will be introduced in two new lead markets in March.
Pall Mall, the company’s second growth brand, continued to deliver strong performance, with significant volume and share gains. Pall Mall was the nation’s fourth-largest and fastest-growing major cigarette brand in 2010. Pall Mall’s market share increased 2.3 percentage points to 8.3 percent in the fourth quarter, and gained 2.7 percentage points to 7.4 percent for the year.
“Pall Mall had an outstanding year, and continued to gain market share,” Delen said. “Pall Mall differentiates itself from other value brands by delivering a high-quality, longer-lasting cigarette at an affordable price, and that’s the reason why so many of those value-conscious smokers who try the brand stay with it.”
Delen said that R.J. Reynolds continues to strengthen its business while driving sustainable growth. “In 2011, we expect to see additional benefits from the company’s recent field trade-marketing expansion that also serves American Snuff,” he said. “This strategic move gives us greater efficiency and speed to market, improves support for the retail trade and strengthens brand presence at retail.”
American Snuff
American Snuff reported fourth-quarter adjusted operating income of $103 million, an increase of 23.5 percent from the prior-year quarter, driven by higher moist-snuff pricing and volume. Adjusted results exclude charges of $32 million for non-cash trademark and goodwill impairments, and $2 million in costs related to field trade-marketing changes.

“American Snuff delivered outstanding results in the fourth quarter, posting record-high adjusted earnings and consumer off-take share,” Delen said. “The company’s performance improved steadily as it moved through the year, despite intense competitive activity in the first half. American Snuff is seeing the benefits of the enhancements to Grizzly’s brand equity, as well as a positive impact from the field trade-marketing change, and this momentum will position the company well in 2011.”
For the full year, adjusted operating income was $374 million, up 6.1 percent from the prior-year period. Adjusted results exclude costs associated with the field trade-marketing changes, as well as non-cash goodwill and trademark impairment charges.
Fourth-quarter adjusted operating margin increased 2.2 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, to 53.9 percent. That brought the full-year’s adjusted operating margin to 52.0 percent, down 0.3 percentage points from the prior-year period, following declines in roll-your-own and other non-core tobacco products driven by higher federal excise taxes.
American Snuff’s fourth-quarter moist-snuff shipment volume increased 8.2 percent from the prior-year quarter, and gained 5.8 percent for the full year.
The company’s fourth-quarter moist-snuff share of shipments of 29.9 percent was up 0.5 percentage points from the prior-year quarter. However, on a consumer off-take basis as measured by AC Nielsen, which better reflects actual consumer purchases, the company’s share was 31.3 percent, up 0.8 percentage points from the prior-year quarter. For the full year, American Snuff’s moist-snuff share of shipments was 29.2 percent, and on a consumer off-take basis, it was 30.4 percent.
Industry moist-snuff shipments were up 5.5 percent in the fourth quarter, and up 8.1 percent for the year. On a consumer off-take basis, moist-snuff volume increased about 6 percent for the year.
Grizzly, the company’s flagship brand, has delivered solid growth this year, following a challenging first quarter. The brand benefitted from American Snuff’s focus on equity building, which included the packaging upgrade to embossed metal lids in the second quarter. The brand also benefited from the third-quarter expansion of R.J. Reynolds’ field trade-marketing organization to serve American Snuff.
The brand set a new record-high marketplace performance in the fourth quarter. Share of shipments gained 0.8 percentage points to 26.1 percent, while on a consumer off-take basis as measured by AC Nielsen, Grizzly was up 1.1 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, at 27.2 percent.
Grizzly’s fourth-quarter shipment volume increased by 9.9 percent, and was up 6.8 percent for the year.
The brand further strengthened its position in the rapidly growing pouch segment, which now represents almost 9 percent of total moist-snuff category sales. Grizzly captured 24.3 percent of all pouch sales in the fourth quarter and has the number one Wintergreen pouch style in the market.

Delen said that American Snuff’s premium moist-snuff brand, Kodiak, remained relatively steady throughout 2010, with volume in line with the previous year. This is solid performance given that the brand had disproportionately lower levels of promotion than competitive brands.
FINANCIAL UPDATE
“RAI and its operating companies delivered excellent performance in the fourth quarter and for the full year, driving higher earnings and margins, and allowing us to return substantial value to our shareholders,” said Thomas R. Adams, RAI’s chief financial officer.
Reynolds American’s fourth-quarter adjusted EPS was $0.60, up 9.1 percent, which excludes $0.05 per share in non-cash goodwill impairment charges related to the proposed sale of Lane, Limited, as well as trademark impairment charges related to American Snuff’s Taylor’s Pride loose-leaf tobacco brand. The results also exclude $0.02 per share in costs primarily related to plant closings and expansion of R.J. Reynolds’ field trade-marketing organization.
On a reported basis, fourth-quarter EPS was $0.53, up 43.2 percent from the prior-year quarter.
For the full year, adjusted EPS was $2.49, up 7.3 percent. Adjusted results exclude charges and costs related to plant closings, expansion of R.J. Reynolds’ field trade marketing, changes in federal health-care laws and Canadian governments’ settlements, as well as non-cash trademark and goodwill impairments.
On a reported basis, full-year EPS was $1.90, up 15.2 percent from the prior-year period.
RAI’s fourth-quarter adjusted operating margin was 29.7 percent, up 2.8 percentage points from the prior-year quarter, driven by gains in operating-company pricing and productivity. Full-year adjusted operating margin of 29.8 percent was up 1.3 percentage points over the prior-year period.
Reynolds American ended the year with $2.2 billion in cash balances after the company contributed an additional $500 million to the pension plans in the fourth quarter, bringing total 2010 pension contributions to $800 million. The company also repaid $300 million in debt from cash in July.
Adams noted that RAI announced on Jan. 14, 2011, that it had reached agreement to sell Lane, Limited and related assets to Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S (STG), a global company based in Denmark, for $205 million in cash. The Lane operations contributed approximately $0.04 per share to RAI’s 2010 earnings. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2011, pending anti-trust review and approval.
Adams said that RAI will continue to evaluate additional opportunities to enhance value for the company’s investors. He noted RAI’s announcement on Dec. 6 that it would increase its dividend payout target to 80 percent of the company’s net income, up from its previous target of 75 percent. This followed the Oct. 15 announcement that RAI would increase the company’s quarterly dividend by 8.9 percent after a two-for-one stock split on Nov. 15.

“Reynolds American and its operating companies have delivered strong 2010 results, and continue to build momentum on key brands and productivity initiatives,” Adams said. “This provides a solid foundation for continued growth in 2011, and we’re projecting EPS growth in the mid- to high-single digits, for a full-year estimate of $2.60 to $2.70.”
