Forward looking statements
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements, including “forward-looking”
statements made within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or
phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,”
“potential,” “predict,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “outlook”,
“target” and similar expressions. These include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or
current expectations concerning, amongst other things, our results of operations, financial
condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the economic and business
circumstances occurring from time to time in the countries and markets in which the Group
operates.
All such forward-looking statements involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to
risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual future financial condition,
performance and results to differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and results
expressed in the forward-looking statements and other financial and/or statistical data within
this announcement. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements are uncertainties related to the
following: the impact of competition from illicit trade; the impact of adverse domestic or
international legislation and regulation; changes in domestic or international tax laws and
rates; adverse litigation and dispute outcomes and the effect of such outcomes on the
Group’s financial condition; changes or differences in domestic or international economic or
political conditions; adverse decisions by domestic or international regulatory bodies; the
impact of market size reduction and consumer down-trading; translational and transactional
foreign exchange rate exposure; the impact of serious injury, illness or death in the
workplace; the ability to maintain credit ratings and to fund the business under the current
capital structure; the inability to develop, commercialise and roll-out Potentially Reduced-Risk
Products; and changes in the market position, businesses, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of the Group.
It is believed that the expectations reflected in this announcement are reasonable but they
may be affected by a wide range of variables that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those currently anticipated. Past performance is no guide to future
performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent financial adviser.
The forward-looking statements reflect knowledge and information available at the date of
preparation of this announcement and the Group undertakes no obligation to update or revise
these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements.
No statement in this communication is intended to be a profit forecast and no statement in this
communication should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of BAT for the current
or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings
per share of BAT.
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Company’s
filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Annual
Report on Form 20-F filed on 15 March 2019 and Current Reports on Form 6-K, which may
