Altria (USA) Reports 2020 Second Quarter and First-Half Results
Second Quarter
• Net revenues decreased 3.8% to $6.4 billion, primarily due to lower net revenues in the smokable products
segment. Revenues net of excise taxes decreased 2.5% to $5.1 billion.
• Reported diluted EPS decreased 2.8% to $1.04, primarily driven by losses from Altria’s equity investment in
ABI and higher losses in the all other category (primarily driven by the reduction of the estimated residual
value of an asset at PMCC in 2020). These factors were partially offset by favorable Cronos-related special
items, higher reported operating companies’ incomein the smokable products and oral tobacco products
segments and fewer shares outstanding.
• Adjusted diluted EPS increased 0.9% to $1.09, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI in the smokable
products and oral tobacco products segments and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by lower adjusted
earnings from Altria’s equity investment in ABI and higher losses in the all other category.
First Half
• Net revenues increased 3.9% to $12.7 billion, primarily due to higher net revenues in the smokable products
and oral tobacco products segments. Revenues net of excise taxes increased 5.5% to $10.1 billion.
• Reported diluted EPS increased 13.3% to $1.88, primarily driven by higher reported operating companies
income in the smokable products and oral tobacco products segments, 2019 Cronos-related special items, 2019
acquisition-related costs associated with the JUUL and Cronos transactions and fewer shares outstanding,
partially offset by inventory-related charges in the wine segment and lower reported earnings from Altria’s
equity investment in ABI.
Executive Commentary
“Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., our employees continue to execute against
our 10-year Vision with strong focus and commitment. Over the first-half of 2020, we believe Altria showed
resilience in volatile market conditions, growing adjusted diluted earnings per share by 8.5%, driven by the
outstanding financial performance of our core tobacco businesses. We’ve also hit key milestones and made
steady progress behind our noncombustible product portfolio.With a better understanding of COVID-19
impacts on adult tobacco consumer purchasing behavior and an additional quarter of ABI earnings
contributions, we’re reestablishing full-year 2020 adjusted diluted EPS guidance,” said Altria’s Chief
Executive Officer.

Executive Commentary
“This was another highly unusual quarter, and I couldn’t be prouder of and grateful to our employees
around the globe, said Amazon founder and CEO. As expected, we spent over $4 billion on
incremental COVID-19-related costs in the quarter to help keep employees safe and deliver products
to customers in this time of high demand—purchasing personal protective equipment, increasing
cleaning of our facilities, following new safety process paths, adding new backup family care benefits,
and paying a special thank you bonus of over $500 million to front-line employees and delivery
partners. We’ve created over 175,000 new jobs since March and are in the process of bringing 125,000
of these employees into regular, full-time positions. And third-party sales again grew faster this quarter
than Amazon’s first-party sales. Lastly, even in this unpredictable time, we injected significant money
into the economy this quarter, investing over $9 billion in capital projects, including fulfillment,
transportation, and AWS.”

year period.

Executive Commentary
Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Q2 was an extraordinarily strong quarter
for Church & Dwight. Both our household and personal care businesses
delivered higher growth as consumers and retailers focused on core essentials.
We experienced strong consumption in Q2 and continue to see similar strength in
July. The pandemic drove double digit consumption growth in several domestic
categories, especially gummy vitamins, women’s hair removal, cleaners, and
baking soda while restrictions on consumer mobility drove double-digit declines
in other domestic categories, notably condoms, dry shampoo, and water flossers.
Year-to-date shipments and consumption are in balance for our brands. However,
retailer in-stocks lag normal levels for some brands, including gummy vitamins,
baking soda, and cleaners. Online sales as a percentage of total sales continued
to grow rapidly and reached 13% of sales in Q2. The International business grew
slightly despite the global COVID-19 pandemic. SPD recorded its third
consecutive quarter of organic growth as demand for our non-dairy products
grew in both domestic and international markets.”

CCEP (UK) invests in creation of circular economy for PET in Western Europe
Coca-Cola European Partners, the world’s largest independent Coca-Cola bottler, has taken an
important step on its journey towards 100% rPET for its plastic bottles by funding CuRe
Technology – a recycling start-up which seeks to provide a new lease of life for difficult to
recycle plastic polyester waste.The funding from CCEP, through its innovation investment fund,
CCEP Ventures, will enable CuRe to accelerate its ‘polyester rejuvenation’ technology from pilot
plant to commercial readiness. Once the technology is commercialised, CCEP will receive the
majority of the output from a CuRe-licensed, new-build plant.Once operational, CuRe has the
potential to support CCEP’s ambition, in partnership with The Coca-Cola Company in Western
Europe, to eliminate virgin oil-based PET from its PET bottles within the next decade. This will
contribute to removing of a total of over 200,000* tonnes of virgin oil-based PET from CCEP’s
packaging portfolio a year and support the transition to a circular economy for PET
packaging.CuRe Technology – a start-up, created and led by a consortium of world-leading
recycling innovators and experts led by the Morssinkhof Group and the Cumapol/DuFor Group,
with strategic partners DSM-Niaga and NHL Stenden University of Applied Science – will
initially apply its end-to-end partial depolymerisation recycling process to transform opaque and
difficult to recycle food grade PET to high quality recycled PET that can be used again for food
and drink packaging in one continuous process on the same site.
Executive Commentary
Vice President, Sustainability at Coca-Cola European Partners said: “CuRe is an exciting
technology start-up with transformational potential developed by an experienced
consortium, making it an ideal investment for CCEP Ventures. Our investment in CuRe
underlines our commitment to supporting innovations that have the potential to drive growth
in our business and our sustainable packaging goals. It also offers us the potential to access
vital rPET volume that will help to accelerate delivery of our 100% rPET ambition for our
PET bottles.”

Executive Commentary
"Our ability to react quickly to uncertain, dramatically lower levels of business
activity resulting from the pandemic was completely due to the hard work and
commitment of our employees and I must sincerely thank them for that. Rapid and
deep cost cuts, combined with a quicker-than-expected U.S. auto market recovery,
enabled us to achieve very strong operating results in the second quarter, said Group
1's President and Chief Executive Officer. Beginning in late March, we experienced
sudden and dramatic shutdowns in all three of our markets. By early April, our U.S.
sales and service business had dropped by 50% and we were completely closed in
the U.K., except for a small volume of emergency service work. Due to this severe
decline in customer traffic, we had no choice but to execute a comprehensive cost
reduction plan across our entire company that touched all areas of the business. Our
U.S. business recovered steadily in May and June led by our used vehicle and
service businesses. We benefited greatly during this time period from the
effectiveness of our online vehicle purchasing platform, Acceleride, as online
shopping increased in popularity. As business improved, we began to call back some
of our furloughed employees and have currently returned to approximately 70% of
our Pre-COVID employment levels in both the U.S. and U.K. Our U.S. and U.K.
businesses are operating at their highest efficiency levels ever and we expect this to
carry forward."

away-from-home consumption that impacted global demand
for ingredients, primarily in April and May. Since then, we
have seen sequential improvement in June and July as the
restrictions ease and consumer mobility increases.”

Second Quarter Consolidated Results
• Net sales for the second quarter of 2020 increased 1.8% to $2.86 billion, compared to $2.81 billion
in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 2.9%, reflecting strong
volume/mix growth of 4.3%, partially offset by lower net price realization of 1.4%.
• GAAP operating income decreased 4.4% to $561 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared
to $587 million in the year-ago period, including the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items
affecting comparability, which include certain COVID-19 related expenses, as well as lower pricing,
inflation in input costs and logistics and higher operating costs associated with increased consumer
demand.
• Adjusted operating income increased 10.4% to $775 million, compared to $702 million in the

year-ago period, reflecting the decline in GAAP operating income, a higher effective tax rate
resulting from the comparison to favorable discrete tax items and valuation adjustments in the prior
year period and higher interest expense, as well as the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items
affecting comparability, partially offset by an increase in non-operating income.

Keurig Dr Pepper (USA) Advances Sustainable Packaging Commitments with New $10 Million
Investment to Improve Polypropylene Recycling in the U.S.
Keurig Dr Pepper announced its founding sponsorship of The Recycling Partnership's
Polypropylene Recycling Coalition. The Company has committed $10 million over the next
five years, alongside investments from industry peers, to increase and improve the recovery
and recycling of polypropylene plastic in the U.S. The Coalition will work to solidify
polypropylene's status as a standard curbside recycling material through projects that
enhance collection, sortation and processing in recycling facilities which, in turn, will
increase the value and supply of recycled polypropylene and reduce the need for virgin
plastic used in packaging. This sponsorship supports KDP's broader efforts to reduce its
plastic footprint through circular solutions and collaborations. The Company is on track to
meet its commitments of making 100% of its packaging recyclable or compostable and
incorporating 30% post-consumer recycled content in its packaging by 2025. With this
investment, Keurig Dr Pepper has committed to providing over $30 million in collaborative
projects and partnerships across North America to encourage the circular economy. Other
projects in which KDP has invested include the American Beverage Association's Every
Bottle Back initiative, the Closed Loop Fund and several initiatives led by The Recycling
Partnership, Keep America Beautiful and the World Wildlife Fund.
Executive Commentary
"Along with advancing our own sustainable packaging commitments, Keurig Dr Pepper
is also focused on driving meaningful change in the nearly 20,000 complex recycling
systems currently found across the United States through targeted investments and
collaborations like the Polypropylene Recycling Coalition, said Chief Sustainability
Officer, Keurig Dr Pepper. Investing in partnerships that amplify our individual actions
will enable us to truly drive progress in eliminating packaging waste by improving
recycling infrastructure and enhancing consumer education efforts, both of which will
increase the recovery of valuable plastics."

Kraft Heinz (USA) Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results
Highlights
• Net sales increased 3.8 percent versus the year-ago period to $6.6 billion, despite a negative 2.1
percentage point impact from divestitures and an unfavorable 1.5 percentage point impact from
currency. Organic Net Sales increased 7.4 percent, driven by increased retail demand that more than
offset lower foodservice-related sales, each stimulated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

billion, despite a negative 2.3 percentage point impact from divestitures and an unfavorable 1.2
percentage point impact from currency.
• Adjusted EPS increased 2.6 percent to $0.80, mainly reflecting growth in Adjusted EBITDA that
was partially offset by lower other income versus the prior year period, higher taxes on adjusted
earnings, and higher equity award compensation versus the year-ago period.
• The Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment losses of approximately $1.8 billion in
certain reporting units and non-cash intangible asset impairment losses of approximately $1.1
billion in certain intangible assets. These impairment charges caused the Company to report a net
loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.7 billion and a diluted loss per share of $1.35.
• Volume/mix grew 5.2 percentage points compared to the prior year period, as strong consumer
demand in retail, together with a partial recovery in retail inventory levels from the end of the first
quarter, more than offset significant declines in foodservice-related sales.

remarkable employees around the world,” said Kraft Heinz CEO. We are now starting to realize
the benefits of agility and scale, while implementing changes across the Company to further drive

Molson Coors (USA) Reports 2020 Second Quarter Results
Quarterly Highlights
• Revenue: Net sales decreased 15.1% on a reported basis, and 14.3% in constant currency driven by financial volume declines
related to on-premise closures resulting from the coronavirus pandemic across all of our major markets, as well as unfavorable global
mix, partially offset by higher net pricing in the U.S. and Canada.
• Cost of goods sold per hectoliter: decreased 5.4%on a reported basis primarily driven by changes to our unrealized mark-to-market
commodity positions, cost savings and a favorable resolution of our property tax appeal for our Golden, Colorado brewery, partially
offset by volume deleverage and temporary "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees.
• Marketing, general & administrative: decreased 31.9%on a reported basis. Underlying MG&A: decreased 30.8% in constant
currency largely driven by the prioritization, shifting and reductions in marketing as discussed above and cost savings related to the
revitalization plan.
• U.S. GAAP pretax income: increased 0.3% driven by lower MG&A, an approximate $106 million year-over-year variance resulting
from favorable unrealized mark-to-market changes on our commodity positions and HEXO warrants, and cost savings, partially
offset by an increase in special charges of approximately $114 million driven by special items associated with the revitalization plan,
the Irwindale brewery closure and cycling the gain on the sale of the Montreal brewery, lower financial volume and unfavorable mix.
• Underlying EBITDA: increased 2.2% in constant currency, driven by the same factors as pretax income with the exception of
changes in our unrealized market-to market commodity positions and HEXO warrants and special items which were excluded as
non-GAAP adjustments for underlying results.
• U.S. GAAP cash from operations: net cash provided by operating activitieswas $1,059.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2020 compared to $828.0 million in the prior year.
• Underlying free cash flow: cash received of $796.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which represents an increase in
cash received of $235.7 million from the prior year, primarily due to favorable timing of working capital and lower cash paid for
taxes, as discussed above, and lower cash paid for interest, partially offset by lower underlying EBITDA and higher cash paid for
capital expenditures.
• Debt: Total debt at the end of the second quarter 2020 was $8.7 billion, and cash and cash equivalents totaled $780.8 million,
resulting in net debt of $7.9 billion.
Executive Commentary
"Last quarter we told you that our overarching focus as the whole world deals with the coronavirus pandemic was centered on two
objectives: navigating the short term to protect our employees and to mitigate short-term business challenges of the coronavirus,
and positioning our business for long-term success. That’s just what we’ve done. Through sound management and incredible
work by our teams, we had a strong second quarter executing well against these two objectives and beating expectations for both
top and bottom-line performance in the second quarter. We did it while delivering an improved cash position and preserving the
biggest firepower in our marketing budgets so they can be ramped up in the back half of the year when we expect they will be
most effective.” Said Molson Coors president and chief executive officer.

Company divested all 9 Minnesota stores to a private company for an immaterial gain; there are 11 new
sites and 6 raze-and-rebuild sites currently under construction
• Total merchandise contribution increased 12.2% to $118.4 million in the second quarter 2020 from
$105.5 million in the second quarter 2019, due to higher sales across the chain. Q2 2020 total
merchandise contribution dollars per store on a SSS basis increased 11.9% when compared to Q2 2019.

less $50 million of current maturities, which is reflected in current liabilities.
Executive Commentary
“Murphy USA’s record second quarter performance once again demonstrated the competitive
advantages of our distinctive business model and customer positioning, said President and CEO
Andrew Clyde. Fuel margins significantly outpaced volume declines due to COVID-19 related
demand destruction even as commodity prices rose sharply in May and June. As volume recovers in
July to over 90-percent of prior year levels reflecting our every-day low price positioning and more
favorable geographies and locations, robust fuel margins continue to generate higher than normal fuel
contribution for Murphy USA. Merchandise sales and margins have kept record pace as prior and
current investments in tobacco categories led to further acceleration of additional market share gains
while innovation in general merchandise and recovering traffic boosted non-tobacco categories. Our
outlook for the remainder of 2020 and 2021 remains very positive as the underlying structural basis
for these trends further solidifies. With a strong cash position and flexible balance sheet, Murphy USA
remains well positioned to accelerate its balanced strategic capital allocation priorities over the next
few years, including the previously announced growth in new-to-industry sites and front-loaded share
repurchase program.”

Executive Commentary
“Throughout the second quarter, our sales and earnings were adversely impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic, said Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. We believe the effects of the virus can be
represented in three phases: shock, or the significant stress associated with the early days; accommodation,
or the gradual improvement reflecting the development of tactics to proceed safely in the COVID-19
environment; and finally, psychological recovery, or the restoration of confidence in the future. In fact, we
encountered that trend as we moved from the shock of April to the accommodation reflected by the
narrowing sales declines of May and June. During these times of turbulence, we continue to prioritize the
health, safety and well-being of our associates, franchisees, customers and communities as we engage in our
essential work. At the same time, we endeavor to strengthen our powerful product lines, reinforce our
extraordinary brands, and maintain our capable team, preserving these advantages to pursue the abundant
opportunities we believe will be available as the virus clears. Finally, and especially in the current situation,
I want to thank our franchisees and associates worldwide for their many contributions, continued dedication,
and belief in our future.”

  • 6. Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Altria (USA) Reports 2020 Second Quarter and First-Half Results Second Quarter • Net revenues decreased 3.8% to $6.4 billion, primarily due to lower net revenues in the smokable products segment. Revenues net of excise taxes decreased 2.5% to $5.1 billion. • Reported diluted EPS decreased 2.8% to $1.04, primarily driven by losses from Altria’s equity investment in ABI and higher losses in the all other category (primarily driven by the reduction of the estimated residual value of an asset at PMCC in 2020). These factors were partially offset by favorable Cronos-related special items, higher reported operating companies’ incomein the smokable products and oral tobacco products segments and fewer shares outstanding. • Adjusted diluted EPS increased 0.9% to $1.09, primarily driven by higher adjusted OCI in the smokable products and oral tobacco products segments and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by lower adjusted earnings from Altria’s equity investment in ABI and higher losses in the all other category. First Half • Net revenues increased 3.9% to $12.7 billion, primarily due to higher net revenues in the smokable products and oral tobacco products segments. Revenues net of excise taxes increased 5.5% to $10.1 billion. • Reported diluted EPS increased 13.3% to $1.88, primarily driven by higher reported operating companies income in the smokable products and oral tobacco products segments, 2019 Cronos-related special items, 2019 acquisition-related costs associated with the JUUL and Cronos transactions and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by inventory-related charges in the wine segment and lower reported earnings from Altria’s equity investment in ABI. Executive Commentary “Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., our employees continue to execute against our 10-year Vision with strong focus and commitment. Over the first-half of 2020, we believe Altria showed resilience in volatile market conditions, growing adjusted diluted earnings per share by 8.5%, driven by the outstanding financial performance of our core tobacco businesses. We’ve also hit key milestones and made steady progress behind our noncombustible product portfolio.With a better understanding of COVID-19 impacts on adult tobacco consumer purchasing behavior and an additional quarter of ABI earnings contributions, we’re reestablishing full-year 2020 adjusted diluted EPS guidance,” said Altria’s Chief Executive Officer.

  • 7. Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Amazon.com (USA) Announces Second Quarter Results Highlights • Operating cash flow increased 42% to $51.2 billion for the trailing twelve months, compared with $36.0 billion for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019. • Free cash flow increased to $31.9 billion for the trailing twelve months, compared with $25.0 billion for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019. • Free cash flow fewer principal repayments of finance leases and financing obligations increased to $21.3 billion for the trailing twelve months, compared with $16.1 billion for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019. • Free cash flow less equipment finance leases and principal repayments of all other finance leases and financing obligations increased to $19.4 billion for the trailing twelve months, compared with $13.0 billion for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019. • Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying stock-based awards totaled 517 million on June 30, 2020, compared with 510 million one year ago. • Net sales increased 40% to $88.9 billion in the second quarter, compared with $63.4 billion in second quarter 2019. Excluding the $582 million unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter, net sales increased 41% compared with second quarter 2019. • Operating income increased to $5.8 billion in the second quarter, compared with operating income of $3.1 billion in second quarter 2019. • Net income increased to $5.2 billion in the second quarter, or $10.30 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.6 billion, or $5.22 per diluted share, in second quarter 2019. Executive Commentary “This was another highly unusual quarter, and I couldn’t be prouder of and grateful to our employees around the globe, said Amazon founder and CEO. As expected, we spent over $4 billion on incremental COVID-19-related costs in the quarter to help keep employees safe and deliver products to customers in this time of high demand—purchasing personal protective equipment, increasing cleaning of our facilities, following new safety process paths, adding new backup family care benefits, and paying a special thank you bonus of over $500 million to front-line employees and delivery partners. We’ve created over 175,000 new jobs since March and are in the process of bringing 125,000 of these employees into regular, full-time positions. And third-party sales again grew faster this quarter than Amazon’s first-party sales. Lastly, even in this unpredictable time, we injected significant money into the economy this quarter, investing over $9 billion in capital projects, including fulfillment, transportation, and AWS.” For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com 2 Key Financial Highlights

Our U.S. business recovered steadily in May and June led by our used vehicle and service businesses. We benefited greatly during this time period from the effectiveness of our online vehicle purchasing platform, Acceleride, as online shopping increased in popularity. As business improved, we began to call back some of our furloughed employees and have currently returned to approximately 70% of our Pre-COVID employment levels in both the U.S. and U.K. Our U.S. and U.K. businesses are operating at their highest efficiency levels ever and we expect this to carry forward."

The Company has committed $10 million over the next five years, alongside investments from industry peers, to increase and improve the recovery and recycling of polypropylene plastic in the U.S. The Coalition will work to solidify polypropylene's status as a standard curbside recycling material through projects that enhance collection, sortation and processing in recycling facilities which, in turn, will increase the value and supply of recycled polypropylene and reduce the need for virgin plastic used in packaging. This sponsorship supports KDP's broader efforts to reduce its plastic footprint through circular solutions and collaborations. The Company is on track to meet its commitments of making 100% of its packaging recyclable or compostable and incorporating 30% post-consumer recycled content in its packaging by 2025. With this investment, Keurig Dr Pepper has committed to providing over $30 million in collaborative projects and partnerships across North America to encourage the circular economy. Other projects in which KDP has invested include the American Beverage Association's Every Bottle Back initiative, the Closed Loop Fund and several initiatives led by The Recycling Partnership, Keep America Beautiful and the World Wildlife Fund. Executive Commentary "Along with advancing our own sustainable packaging commitments, Keurig Dr Pepper is also focused on driving meaningful change in the nearly 20,000 complex recycling systems currently found across the United States through targeted investments and collaborations like the Polypropylene Recycling Coalition, said Chief Sustainability Officer, Keurig Dr Pepper. Investing in partnerships that amplify our individual actions will enable us to truly drive progress in eliminating packaging waste by improving recycling infrastructure and enhancing consumer education efforts, both of which will increase the recovery of valuable plastics."

Executive Commentary “Murphy USA’s record second quarter performance once again demonstrated the competitive advantages of our distinctive business model and customer positioning, said President and CEO Andrew Clyde. Fuel margins significantly outpaced volume declines due to COVID-19 related demand destruction even as commodity prices rose sharply in May and June. As volume recovers in July to over 90-percent of prior year levels reflecting our every-day low price positioning and more favorable geographies and locations, robust fuel margins continue to generate higher than normal fuel contribution for Murphy USA. Merchandise sales and margins have kept record pace as prior and current investments in tobacco categories led to further acceleration of additional market share gains while innovation in general merchandise and recovering traffic boosted non-tobacco categories. Our outlook for the remainder of 2020 and 2021 remains very positive as the underlying structural basis for these trends further solidifies. With a strong cash position and flexible balance sheet, Murphy USA remains well positioned to accelerate its balanced strategic capital allocation priorities over the next few years, including the previously announced growth in new-to-industry sites and front-loaded share repurchase program.” For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com 31 Key Financial Highlights

Executive Commentary “Throughout the second quarter, our sales and earnings were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, said Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. We believe the effects of the virus can be represented in three phases: shock, or the significant stress associated with the early days; accommodation, or the gradual improvement reflecting the development of tactics to proceed safely in the COVID-19 environment; and finally, psychological recovery, or the restoration of confidence in the future. In fact, we encountered that trend as we moved from the shock of April to the accommodation reflected by the narrowing sales declines of May and June. During these times of turbulence, we continue to prioritize the health, safety and well-being of our associates, franchisees, customers and communities as we engage in our essential work. At the same time, we endeavor to strengthen our powerful product lines, reinforce our extraordinary brands, and maintain our capable team, preserving these advantages to pursue the abundant opportunities we believe will be available as the virus clears. Finally, and especially in the current situation, I want to thank our franchisees and associates worldwide for their many contributions, continued dedication, and belief in our future.” For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com 37 Key Financial Highlights
