RICHMOND, VA, April 24, 2008 – Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) today announced
reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.29 in the first quarter of
2008 versus $0.33 in the first quarter of 2007, down 12.1% versus the prior year. This quarter’s
results were impacted by net costs and charges related to the spin-off of Philip Morris
International Inc. (PMI) and the closure of Altria’s headquarters in New York as well as other
items detailed in Schedule 2. Adjusted for items detailed in Table 1, diluted earnings per share
from continuing operations were up 12.1% to $0.37 versus $0.33 in the year-earlier period.
“In the first quarter, Altria successfully completed the spin-off of PMI, which we expect
will further enhance shareholder value,” said Michael E. Szymanczyk, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Altria Group, Inc. “In conjunction with this spin-off, Altria also completed
6601 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23230
its corporate restructuring, including relocating our corporate headquarters to Richmond,
Virginia. These actions will substantially reduce the company’s cost structure.”
“Adjusted for special items, Altria delivered solid earnings per share growth of 12.1%,”
Mr. Szymanczyk said. “PM USA achieved strong retail share growth behind the strength of
Marlboro. As expected, PM USA’s operating income results were lower than last year. PM
USA expects income performance to improve as the year unfolds. We are pleased with John
Middleton’s strong income, volume and share performance. This is the first full quarter that John
Middleton is reporting results as an Altria operating company.”
Spin-off of Philip Morris International Inc. Completed
On March 28, 2008, Altria completed the spin-off of PMI to its shareholders. Altria’s
shareholders received one share of PMI common stock for every share of Altria common stock
outstanding as of the March 19, 2008 record date. Additional details of the spin-off are available
at www.altria.com/pmispinoff or in the information statement mailed to all shareholders of Altria
common stock as of the record date.
Altria’s 2008 reported results and previous-year results reflect PMI as a discontinued
operation. As such, net revenues and operating companies income for PMI are excluded from
the company’s continuing results, while the net earnings impact is included as a single line item.
Tender Offer for Altria Notes Completed
On February 29, 2008, in connection with the PMI spin-off, Altria and its subsidiary,
Altria Finance (Cayman Islands) Ltd., completed debt tender offers and consent solicitations to
purchase for cash $2.3 billion of notes and debentures denominated in U.S. dollars and €373
million in euro-denominated bonds. Altria arranged a $4.0 billion bridge loan facility to finance
the tender offer. Altria intends to access the public-debt market to replace the retired debt. As a
result of the tender offer and consent solicitations, Altria recorded a $393 million pre-tax loss for
the early retirement of this debt.
Sale of NY Headquarters Building Completed
On March 25, 2008, Altria completed the sale of its corporate headquarters building at
120 Park Avenue in New York City. Altria recorded a pre-tax gain of $404 million on the sale
of the headquarters building.
2
Corporate Restructuring
In connection with the PMI spin-off, Altria has restructured its corporate headquarters
functions, which included the move of its corporate headquarters to Richmond, Virginia. Altria
incurred pre-tax charges of $247 million, consisting primarily of employee separation costs, as
well as investment banking and legal fees associated with the PMI spin-off. This restructuring
program is expected to yield approximately $250 million in annual savings, beginning in 2009.
Share Repurchase Program Commenced
As previously announced, the Board of Directors has authorized a $7.5 billion two-year
share repurchase program. Altria began repurchasing shares as part of this program in April
2008.
Conference Call
A conference call with members of the investment community and news media will be

2008 Full-Year Forecast
Altria reaffirms its 2008 earnings per share guidance. Altria forecasts that 2008 adjusted
full-year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations will grow in the range of $1.63 to
$1.67. This represents a 9% to 11% growth rate from an adjusted base of $1.50 per share in
2007 as shown in Table 2 below. This full-year earnings per share forecast reflects expected
stronger earnings per share growth in the second half of this year compared to the first half. This
forecast also reflects the income contribution from John Middleton, Inc. (Middleton), the impact
of share repurchases and a higher effective tax rate. Altria also expects full-year operating
companies income growth from continuing operations in the mid-single digits on a reported and
underlying basis. The factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections.

ALTRIA GROUP, INC.
As described in “Note 15. Segment Reporting” of Altria’s 2007 Annual Report,
management reviews operating companies income, which is defined as operating income before
corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles, to evaluate segment performance and
allocate resources. Management believes it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help
investors analyze business performance and trends. For a reconciliation of operating companies
income to operating income, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings contained
in this release.
Altria has revised its reporting segments to reflect the PMI spin-off and the December
2007 acquisition of Middleton. Beginning with the first quarter of 2008, Altria’s reporting
segments are Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products, manufactured and sold by Philip Morris
USA (PM USA); Cigars, manufactured and sold by Middleton; and Financial Services, provided
by Philip Morris Capital Corporation (PMCC).

All references in this news release are to continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.
Schedules reflecting the PMI spin-off and the Kraft Foods Inc. (Kraft) spin-off with associated
revised results for the years 2006 and 2007 are attached.
2008 First-Quarter Results
Net revenues increased 2.8% to $4.4 billion. Operating income increased 8.4% to $1.2
billion, primarily driven by the $404 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the corporate
headquarters building, partially offset by a pre-tax charge of $247 million for the corporate
restructuring, and other items detailed in Schedule 2.
Earnings from continuing operations decreased 11.8% to $614 million, reflecting a $393
million loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the bond tender offer, partially offset
by the items mentioned above and interest on tax reserve transfers to Kraft in 2007.
Net earnings, which include PMI and Kraft as discontinued operations and the factors
mentioned above, decreased 10.8% to $2.5 billion. This decrease was primarily due to the spin-
off of Kraft in the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by higher earnings from PMI in the first
quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per share, including discontinued operations as detailed on
Schedule 1, decreased 10.8% to $1.16.
CIGARETTES and OTHER TOBACCO PRODUCTS
2008 First-Quarter Results
PM USA achieved strong retail cigarette share results for the first-quarter 2008, driven by
Marlboro, which increased its retail market share 0.7 points to 41.5% in the first quarter.
Net revenues and revenues net of excise taxes were essentially unchanged at $4.2 billion
and $3.4 billion, respectively. Operating companies income decreased 8.0% to $1.0 billion
compared to the year-earlier period. The decline was driven by lower volume, costs related to
the reduction of volume produced for PMI, higher resolution expenses, the timing of promotional
expenditures and a $26 million pre-tax charge for the previously announced closure of the
Cabarrus, NC cigarette manufacturing facility. These factors were partially offset by lower
wholesale promotional allowance rates.
5
PM USA’s cigarette shipment volume of 40.1 billion units was 1.2% lower than the
prior-year period, but was estimated to be down approximately 3.5% when adjusted for changes
in trade inventories. PM USA estimates that total cigarette industry volume declined
approximately 4% in the first quarter. For the full-year 2008, PM USA estimates a total cigarette
industry volume decline of approximately 3%.
Cigarette volume performance by brand for PM USA is summarized in the table below:
Q1 2008 Q1 2007 Change**
Marlboro 33.2 33.3 (0.2)%
Parliament 1.3 1.3 (3.8)%
Virginia Slims 1.5 1.7 (9.5)%
Basic 3.1 3.2 (3.0)%
Focus Brands 39.1 39.5 (1.0)%

PM USA Cigarette Volume* by Brand (Billion Units)
* Unit volume includes units sold as well as promotional units, and excludes Puerto Rico, U.S.
Territories, Overseas Military and Philip Morris Duty Free Inc.
** Calculation based on millions of units.
As shown in the following table, PM USA’s total retail share increased to 50.9% in the
first quarter of 2008, driven by Marlboro, which had a strong retail share gain of 0.7 share
points.
Q1 2008 Q1 2007 Change

Parliament 1.9% 1.9% 0.0pp

PM USA Quarterly Retail Share*
* Retail share performance is based on data from the Information Resources, Inc. (IRI)/Capstone Total
Retail Panel, which is a tracking service that uses a sample of stores to project market share
performance in retail stores selling cigarettes. The panel was not designed to capture sales through
other channels, including internet and direct mail.

As part of its adjacency growth strategy to develop new revenue and income sources for
the future, PM USA is test marketing Marlboro Snus, which is a spit-free, smokeless tobacco
pouch product designed especially for adult smokers. PM USA began testing Marlboro Snus in
Dallas, Texas in August of 2007 and expanded the test into the Indianapolis, Indiana area in the
first quarter of 2008. PM USA believes snus offers long-term potential as an alternative product
for adult smokers as well as other adult tobacco users.
In addition, PM USA is test marketing Marlboro Moist Smokeless Tobacco, which is
designed to provide a premium quality product at an attractive price for adult moist smokeless
tobacco consumers. PM USA began testing Marlboro Moist Smokeless Tobacco in the Atlanta
area in October 2007, and expanded the test market to include additional counties in the greater
Atlanta, Georgia area in the first quarter of 2008.
CIGARS
2008 First-Quarter Results
As previously announced, Altria completed the acquisition of Middleton, a leading
manufacturer of machine-made large cigars in December 2007. This is the first full quarter that
Altria is reporting results for Middleton.
Middleton’s first-quarter net revenues were $91 million and revenues net of excise taxes
were $76 million. Operating companies income in the first quarter was $41 million, which
includes a pre-tax charge of $2 million for integration costs. Middleton’s first-quarter cigar
shipment volume grew 8.2% versus year-ago to 312 million units, driven by its leading brand
Black & Mild.
Middleton’s first-quarter retail share through February 2008 increased 2.7 share points
versus year-ago to 26.8% of the machine-made large cigar segment, driven by Black & Mild.
Retail share for Black & Mild increased 3.0 share points versus year-ago to 25.9% of the
machine-made large cigar segment. Retail share performance is based on data from the most
recent IRI Syndicated Reviews Database (February 2008 year-to-date), which is a tracking
service that uses a sample of stores to project market share performance across multiple product
categories, including machine-made large cigars.
7
Middleton entered into an agreement with PM USA to leverage PM USA’s distribution
network and field sales force to represent Middleton’s brands. In March 2008, PM USA’s sales
force began representing Middleton’s brands at retail and supporting the execution of
Middleton’s trade marketing programs.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
2008 First-Quarter Results
PMCC reported operating companies income of $74 million for the first quarter of 2008
versus $160 million for the year-earlier period. First-quarter 2007 results reflected a cash
recovery of $129 million at PMCC from assets that had been previously written down.
Excluding the 2007 recovery, operating companies income for the first quarter of 2008 was
favorable due to higher asset management gains.
PMCC remains focused on managing its portfolio of leased assets to maximize gains and
cash flows from income generating assets, as well as asset sales and related activities. PMCC is
not making new investments and expects that its operating companies income will vary over time
as investments mature or are sold.

This press release contains projections of future results and other forward-looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the Safe
8
Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following
important factors could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those
contained in such forward-looking statements.
Altria’s tobacco subsidiaries (PM USA and Middleton) are subject to intense price
competition; changes in consumer preferences and demand for their products; fluctuations in
raw material costs; fluctuations in levels of customer inventories; the effects of local economic
and market conditions; and changes to income tax laws. Their results are dependent upon their

to compete effectively with lower-priced products; and to improve productivity.
Altria’s tobacco subsidiaries continue to be subject to litigation, including risks
associated with adverse jury and judicial determinations, and courts reaching conclusions at
variance with the company’s understanding of applicable law and bonding requirements in the
limited number of jurisdictions that do not limit the dollar amount of appeal bonds; legislation,
including actual and potential excise tax increases; increasing marketing and regulatory
restrictions; the effects of price increases related to excise tax increases and concluded tobacco
litigation settlements on consumption rates and consumer preferences within price segments;
health concerns relating to the use of tobacco products and exposure to environmental tobacco
smoke; governmental regulation; privately imposed smoking restrictions; and governmental and
grand jury investigations.
Altria and its subsidiaries are subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its
publicly filed documents, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended

  • 1. NEWS RELEASE ALTRIA GROUP, INC. (ALTRIA) REPORTS 2008 FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS Net revenues increased 2.8% to $4.4 billion Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations up 12.1% to $0.37 versus $0.33 in the first quarter of 2007 Altria reaffirms its 2008 guidance for adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $1.63 to $1.67, representing a growth rate of approximately 9% to 11%, from a base of $1.50 per share in 2007 Reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.29, which includes net costs and charges related to the spin-off of Philip Morris International Inc., versus $0.33 in the first quarter of 2007 Spin-off of Philip Morris International Inc. completed Marlboro delivers strong retail share gains, up 0.7 share points to 41.5% John Middleton, Inc. posts strong cigar volume gains, up 8.2%, driven by Black & Mild RICHMOND, VA, April 24, 2008 – Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) today announced reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.29 in the first quarter of 2008 versus $0.33 in the first quarter of 2007, down 12.1% versus the prior year. This quarter’s results were impacted by net costs and charges related to the spin-off of Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) and the closure of Altria’s headquarters in New York as well as other items detailed in Schedule 2. Adjusted for items detailed in Table 1, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were up 12.1% to $0.37 versus $0.33 in the year-earlier period. “In the first quarter, Altria successfully completed the spin-off of PMI, which we expect will further enhance shareholder value,” said Michael E. Szymanczyk, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Altria Group, Inc. “In conjunction with this spin-off, Altria also completed 6601 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23230
  • 2. its corporate restructuring, including relocating our corporate headquarters to Richmond, Virginia. These actions will substantially reduce the company’s cost structure.” “Adjusted for special items, Altria delivered solid earnings per share growth of 12.1%,” Mr. Szymanczyk said. “PM USA achieved strong retail share growth behind the strength of Marlboro. As expected, PM USA’s operating income results were lower than last year. PM USA expects income performance to improve as the year unfolds. We are pleased with John Middleton’s strong income, volume and share performance. This is the first full quarter that John Middleton is reporting results as an Altria operating company.” Spin-off of Philip Morris International Inc. Completed On March 28, 2008, Altria completed the spin-off of PMI to its shareholders. Altria’s shareholders received one share of PMI common stock for every share of Altria common stock outstanding as of the March 19, 2008 record date. Additional details of the spin-off are available at www.altria.com/pmispinoff or in the information statement mailed to all shareholders of Altria common stock as of the record date. Altria’s 2008 reported results and previous-year results reflect PMI as a discontinued operation. As such, net revenues and operating companies income for PMI are excluded from the company’s continuing results, while the net earnings impact is included as a single line item. Tender Offer for Altria Notes Completed On February 29, 2008, in connection with the PMI spin-off, Altria and its subsidiary, Altria Finance (Cayman Islands) Ltd., completed debt tender offers and consent solicitations to purchase for cash $2.3 billion of notes and debentures denominated in U.S. dollars and €373 million in euro-denominated bonds. Altria arranged a $4.0 billion bridge loan facility to finance the tender offer. Altria intends to access the public-debt market to replace the retired debt. As a result of the tender offer and consent solicitations, Altria recorded a $393 million pre-tax loss for the early retirement of this debt. Sale of NY Headquarters Building Completed On March 25, 2008, Altria completed the sale of its corporate headquarters building at 120 Park Avenue in New York City. Altria recorded a pre-tax gain of $404 million on the sale of the headquarters building. 2
  • 3. Corporate Restructuring In connection with the PMI spin-off, Altria has restructured its corporate headquarters functions, which included the move of its corporate headquarters to Richmond, Virginia. Altria incurred pre-tax charges of $247 million, consisting primarily of employee separation costs, as well as investment banking and legal fees associated with the PMI spin-off. This restructuring program is expected to yield approximately $250 million in annual savings, beginning in 2009. Share Repurchase Program Commenced As previously announced, the Board of Directors has authorized a $7.5 billion two-year share repurchase program. Altria began repurchasing shares as part of this program in April 2008. Conference Call A conference call with members of the investment community and news media will be webcast today at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Access to the webcast is available at www.altria.com. 2008 First-Quarter Results Excluding Special Items Adjusted for the items shown in the table below, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 12.1% to $0.37 for the first quarter of 2008. Table 1 2008 2007 Change Reported diluted EPS from continuing operations $0.29 $0.33 (12.1)% Asset impairment, exit, integration and implementation costs 0.08 0.02 Recoveries from airline industry exposure - (0.04) Gain on sale of corporate headquarters (0.12) - Loss on early extinguishment of debt 0.12 - Interest on tax reserve transfers to Kraft - 0.02 Diluted EPS from continuing operations, adjusted for the above items $0.37 $0.33 12.1% First Quarter 3
  • 4. 2008 Full-Year Forecast Altria reaffirms its 2008 earnings per share guidance. Altria forecasts that 2008 adjusted full-year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations will grow in the range of $1.63 to $1.67. This represents a 9% to 11% growth rate from an adjusted base of $1.50 per share in 2007 as shown in Table 2 below. This full-year earnings per share forecast reflects expected stronger earnings per share growth in the second half of this year compared to the first half. This forecast also reflects the income contribution from John Middleton, Inc. (Middleton), the impact of share repurchases and a higher effective tax rate. Altria also expects full-year operating companies income growth from continuing operations in the mid-single digits on a reported and underlying basis. The factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections. Full-year 2007 Reported diluted EPS from continuing operations $1.48 Tax items (0.09) Recoveries from airline industry exposure (0.06) Interest on tax reserve transfers to Kraft 0.02 Asset impairment, exit and implementation costs 0.15 Diluted EPS from continuing operations, adjusted for the above items $1.50 Table 2 ALTRIA GROUP, INC. As described in “Note 15. Segment Reporting” of Altria’s 2007 Annual Report, management reviews operating companies income, which is defined as operating income before corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles, to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Management believes it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze business performance and trends. For a reconciliation of operating companies income to operating income, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings contained in this release. Altria has revised its reporting segments to reflect the PMI spin-off and the December 2007 acquisition of Middleton. Beginning with the first quarter of 2008, Altria’s reporting segments are Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products, manufactured and sold by Philip Morris USA (PM USA); Cigars, manufactured and sold by Middleton; and Financial Services, provided by Philip Morris Capital Corporation (PMCC). 4
  • 5. All references in this news release are to continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. Schedules reflecting the PMI spin-off and the Kraft Foods Inc. (Kraft) spin-off with associated revised results for the years 2006 and 2007 are attached. 2008 First-Quarter Results Net revenues increased 2.8% to $4.4 billion. Operating income increased 8.4% to $1.2 billion, primarily driven by the $404 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the corporate headquarters building, partially offset by a pre-tax charge of $247 million for the corporate restructuring, and other items detailed in Schedule 2. Earnings from continuing operations decreased 11.8% to $614 million, reflecting a $393 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the bond tender offer, partially offset by the items mentioned above and interest on tax reserve transfers to Kraft in 2007. Net earnings, which include PMI and Kraft as discontinued operations and the factors mentioned above, decreased 10.8% to $2.5 billion. This decrease was primarily due to the spin- off of Kraft in the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by higher earnings from PMI in the first quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per share, including discontinued operations as detailed on Schedule 1, decreased 10.8% to $1.16. CIGARETTES and OTHER TOBACCO PRODUCTS 2008 First-Quarter Results PM USA achieved strong retail cigarette share results for the first-quarter 2008, driven by Marlboro, which increased its retail market share 0.7 points to 41.5% in the first quarter. Net revenues and revenues net of excise taxes were essentially unchanged at $4.2 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively. Operating companies income decreased 8.0% to $1.0 billion compared to the year-earlier period. The decline was driven by lower volume, costs related to the reduction of volume produced for PMI, higher resolution expenses, the timing of promotional expenditures and a $26 million pre-tax charge for the previously announced closure of the Cabarrus, NC cigarette manufacturing facility. These factors were partially offset by lower wholesale promotional allowance rates. 5
  • 6. PM USA’s cigarette shipment volume of 40.1 billion units was 1.2% lower than the prior-year period, but was estimated to be down approximately 3.5% when adjusted for changes in trade inventories. PM USA estimates that total cigarette industry volume declined approximately 4% in the first quarter. For the full-year 2008, PM USA estimates a total cigarette industry volume decline of approximately 3%. Cigarette volume performance by brand for PM USA is summarized in the table below: Q1 2008 Q1 2007 Change** Marlboro 33.2 33.3 (0.2)% Parliament 1.3 1.3 (3.8)% Virginia Slims 1.5 1.7 (9.5)% Basic 3.1 3.2 (3.0)% Focus Brands 39.1 39.5 (1.0)% Other PM USA 1.0 1.1 (8.3)% Total PM USA 40.1 40.6 (1.2)% PM USA Cigarette Volume* by Brand (Billion Units) * Unit volume includes units sold as well as promotional units, and excludes Puerto Rico, U.S. Territories, Overseas Military and Philip Morris Duty Free Inc. ** Calculation based on millions of units. As shown in the following table, PM USA’s total retail share increased to 50.9% in the first quarter of 2008, driven by Marlboro, which had a strong retail share gain of 0.7 share points.

The panel was not designed to capture sales through other channels, including internet and direct mail. 6
  • 7. As part of its adjacency growth strategy to develop new revenue and income sources for the future, PM USA is test marketing Marlboro Snus, which is a spit-free, smokeless tobacco pouch product designed especially for adult smokers. PM USA began testing Marlboro Snus in Dallas, Texas in August of 2007 and expanded the test into the Indianapolis, Indiana area in the first quarter of 2008. PM USA believes snus offers long-term potential as an alternative product for adult smokers as well as other adult tobacco users. In addition, PM USA is test marketing Marlboro Moist Smokeless Tobacco, which is designed to provide a premium quality product at an attractive price for adult moist smokeless tobacco consumers. PM USA began testing Marlboro Moist Smokeless Tobacco in the Atlanta area in October 2007, and expanded the test market to include additional counties in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area in the first quarter of 2008. CIGARS 2008 First-Quarter Results As previously announced, Altria completed the acquisition of Middleton, a leading manufacturer of machine-made large cigars in December 2007. This is the first full quarter that Altria is reporting results for Middleton. Middleton’s first-quarter net revenues were $91 million and revenues net of excise taxes were $76 million. Operating companies income in the first quarter was $41 million, which includes a pre-tax charge of $2 million for integration costs. Middleton’s first-quarter cigar shipment volume grew 8.2% versus year-ago to 312 million units, driven by its leading brand Black & Mild. Middleton’s first-quarter retail share through February 2008 increased 2.7 share points versus year-ago to 26.8% of the machine-made large cigar segment, driven by Black & Mild. Retail share for Black & Mild increased 3.0 share points versus year-ago to 25.9% of the machine-made large cigar segment. Retail share performance is based on data from the most recent IRI Syndicated Reviews Database (February 2008 year-to-date), which is a tracking service that uses a sample of stores to project market share performance across multiple product categories, including machine-made large cigars. 7
  • 8. Middleton entered into an agreement with PM USA to leverage PM USA’s distribution network and field sales force to represent Middleton’s brands. In March 2008, PM USA’s sales force began representing Middleton’s brands at retail and supporting the execution of Middleton’s trade marketing programs. FINANCIAL SERVICES 2008 First-Quarter Results PMCC reported operating companies income of $74 million for the first quarter of 2008 versus $160 million for the year-earlier period. First-quarter 2007 results reflected a cash recovery of $129 million at PMCC from assets that had been previously written down. Excluding the 2007 recovery, operating companies income for the first quarter of 2008 was favorable due to higher asset management gains. PMCC remains focused on managing its portfolio of leased assets to maximize gains and cash flows from income generating assets, as well as asset sales and related activities. PMCC is not making new investments and expects that its operating companies income will vary over time as investments mature or are sold. Altria Group, Inc.

  • 9. Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following important factors could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Altria’s tobacco subsidiaries (PM USA and Middleton) are subject to intense price competition; changes in consumer preferences and demand for their products; fluctuations in raw material costs; fluctuations in levels of customer inventories; the effects of local economic and market conditions; and changes to income tax laws. Their results are dependent upon their continued ability to promote brand equity successfully; to anticipate and respond to new consumer trends; to develop new products and markets and to broaden brand portfolios in order to compete effectively with lower-priced products; and to improve productivity. Altria’s tobacco subsidiaries continue to be subject to litigation, including risks associated with adverse jury and judicial determinations, and courts reaching conclusions at variance with the company’s understanding of applicable law and bonding requirements in the limited number of jurisdictions that do not limit the dollar amount of appeal bonds; legislation, including actual and potential excise tax increases; increasing marketing and regulatory restrictions; the effects of price increases related to excise tax increases and concluded tobacco litigation settlements on consumption rates and consumer preferences within price segments; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; governmental regulation; privately imposed smoking restrictions; and governmental and grand jury investigations. Altria and its subsidiaries are subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007. Altria cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete and does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that it may make. # # # Contact: Clifford B.
