Strong Balance Sheet
Protects the company’s investment grade credit rating
Preserves access to the capital markets for short-
and long-
term debt
Secures the cash flow generated by the operating companies
Sustains our ability to grow earnings and dividends over time


55
Benefits of a Strong Balance Sheet
Strong balance sheet helped Altria make ~$1 billion payment
to the IRS in July 2010
~$945 million of this payment is associated with the
disallowance of certain leverage leasing transactions
entered into by PMCC in 1996 through 2003
Intend to contest these disallowances vigorously
Payment did not impact company’s ability to raise 2010 EPS
guidance or increase quarterly dividend
Source: Altria company reports


56
Altria’s Debt
Debt to EBITDA ratio is in line with peers and under
requirements of covenants
High carrying costs due to timing of financing activities related
to UST acquisition
Focus on reducing financing costs


57
Altria’s Debt Transactions
Retired $775 million in notes with a coupon of 7.125% in 2Q 2010
Issued $800 million in notes with a coupon of 4.125% in 2Q 2010
Issued $200 million in notes with a coupon of 4.125%
in 3Q 2010
Decision to refinance or retire future debt depends upon:

FDA Regulation
June 2010 marked first anniversary of FDA regulation over
cigarettes and smokeless tobacco
We believe that thoughtfully implemented federal regulation
should benefit tobacco consumers in the long-term
Should contribute to resolving many of the complex issues that
surround cigarettes and smokeless tobacco


86
Altria’s Approach to FDA Regulation
Actively participating in processes established by FDA
PM USA submitted and presented information to the FDA’s
Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC)
Shared our belief that there is no science-
or evidence-based
reason that would support a TPSAC recommendation to:
Ban menthol cigarettes
Impose additional restrictions on them


87
Litigation Environment
Company continues to face challenging litigation
Successfully managed litigation in the past

Vigorously defended claims for decades and intend to continue

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Altria
reports
its
consolidated
financial
results
in
accordance
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(GAAP).
Today’s
remarks
and
related
slides
may
contain
various
operating
results
on
both
a
reported
basis
and
on
an
adjusted
basis,
which
excludes
items
that
affect
the
comparability
of
reported
results.
Altria’s
management
reviews
operating
companies
income
(OCI),
which
is
defined
as
operating
income
before
corporate
expenses
and
amortization
of
intangibles,
to
evaluate
segment
performance
and
allocate
resources.
Altria’s
management
also
reviews
OCI,
operating
margins
and
earnings
per
share
(EPS)
as
well
as
other
financial
measures
on
an
adjusted
basis,
which
excludes
certain
income
and
expense
items
that
management
believes
are
not
part
of
the
underlying
operations
because
such
items
can
obscure
underlying
business
trends.
Management
believes
it
is
appropriate
to
disclose
these
measures
to
help
investors
analyze
underlying
business
performance
and
trends.
Such
adjusted
measures
are
regularly
provided
to
management
for
use
in
the
evaluation
of
segment
performance
and
allocation
of
resources.
Reconciliations
of
non-GAAP
measures
included
in
this
presentation
to
the
most
comparable
GAAP
measures
