Altria Financial Data Disclosure

Today, Altria Group, Inc. (Altria) has released its results for the fiscal nine-month period and
the fiscal quarter ended 30 September 2015. Altria's results include a reference to earnings
for the quarters and nine-month periods ended 30 September 2015 and 2014 from Altria's
approximate 27% economic and voting investment in SABMiller plc, expressed in US GAAP at
prevailing exchange rates.

The amount disclosed for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2015 is US$546
million (nine-month period ended 30 September 2014: US$753 million). The amount
disclosed for the quarter ended 30 September 2015 is US$187 million (quarter ended 30
September 2014: US$328 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
the impact of the change in Altria’s investment in SABMiller following the issue of new
SABMiller shares pursuant to share option exercises, and the purchase of SABMiller shares
by the trustee of the SABMiller Employees’ Benefit Trust.
