Altria Reports Q1 2025 Results: Earnings Decline Amidst Industry Challenges
Summary
Altria Group, Inc. reported a decline in net revenues and earnings for the first quarter of 2025, driven by lower shipment volumes in its smokeable products segment. The company's net revenues decreased by 5.7% to $5.26 billion, and reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 47.9% to $0.63. Adjusted diluted EPS increased by 6.0% to $1.23, primarily due to fewer shares outstanding and higher adjusted operating companies income. The company also provided a full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range of $5.30 to $5.45, expecting a growth rate of 2% to 5% from 2024. Altria's traditional tobacco businesses faced challenges, but the company continues to benefit from strong cash returns to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
