Today, Altria Group, Inc. (Altria) has released its results for the fiscal quarter ended 31 March
2013. Altria's results include a reference to earnings for the quarters ended 31 March 2013
and 2012 from Altria's 26.8% economic and voting investment in SABMiller plc, expressed in
US GAAP at prevailing exchange rates.
The amount disclosed for the quarter ended 31 March 2013 is US$256 million (31 March
2012: US$520 million). Investors should note that these financial results are derived from
management accounts, have not been audited and may be subject to change. There are a
number of differences concerning the timing of recognition of results as well as differences
relating to the accounting treatment of share-based payments, exceptional items, the
definition of the US GAAP statutory earnings as reported by Altria compared with SABMiller’s
results as reported under IFRS, as well as the inclusion within Altria’s earnings of gains on the
dilution of Altria’s investment in SABMiller following the issue of new SABMiller shares
pursuant to share option exercises.
