Description

Although the company today known as Altria Group has only been in existence since 1985, our operating companies have roots that stretch back, in some instances well over 150 years. Kraft Foods, for example, has its origins in 1767 when Bayldon and Berry began selling candied fruit peel to the citizens of York, England. In the mid-nineteenth century, Philip Morris, Esq. opened his retail tobacco shop on London's Bond Street. That modest venture has grown to become Philip Morris USA, the largest tobacco company in the U.S., and Philip Morris International one of the largest tobacco companies in the world. Over the centuries these companies have grown individually and, more recently, as part of the Altria family of companies.

Todays announcement underscores our long-term commitment to build shareholder value, said Louis C. Camilleri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Altria. The PMI spin-off and related actions position our international and domestic tobacco businesses for future success as stand-alone companies with unique and formidable strengths, including leading brands, strong cash flow, experienced leadership and solid growth prospects. 2007 was a watershed year, with strong underlying earnings growth and a number of strategic actions that further strengthen our tobacco businesses for long-term growth, Mr. Camilleri said. While we are by all means not immune to the current economic uncertainties, we enter 2008 with solid momentum and I am confident that both Altria and PMI are well positioned to not only weather these uncertainties, but to deliver strong results this year and beyond.
