Altria Group Tightens FY24 Adj EPS Guidance From $5.05-$5.17 To $5.07-$5.15 vs $5.10 Est

Author: Benzinga Newsdesk | July 31, 2024 07:05am

2024 Full-Year Guidance

We narrow our guidance for 2024 full-year adjusted diluted EPS to be in a range of $5.07 to $5.15, representing a growth rate of 2.5% to 4.0% from a base of $4.95 in 2023. We expect 2024 adjusted diluted EPS growth to be weighted to the second half of the year. Our guidance includes the impact of two additional shipping days in 2024, both of which occur in the second half, and assumes limited impact on combustible and e-vapor product volumes from enforcement efforts in the illicit e-vapor market.

While our 2024 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance accounts for a range of scenarios, the external environment remains dynamic. We will continue to monitor conditions related to (i) the economy, including the cumulative impact of inflation, (ii) adult tobacco consumer (ATC) dynamics, including purchasing patterns and adoption of smoke-free products, (iii) illicit e-vapor enforcement and (iv) regulatory, litigation and legislative developments.

Our 2024 full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance range includes planned investments in support of our Vision, such as (i) marketplace activities in support of our smoke-free products and (ii) continued smoke-free product research, development and regulatory preparation expenses.

We now expect our 2024 full-year adjusted effective tax rate to be in a range of 24.0% to 25.0%.
