Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This release contains projections of future results and other forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Share repurchases depend on marketplace conditions and other factors. In addition, future dividend payments and share repurchases remain subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements included in this release are described in our publicly filed reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. These factors and risks include the following:

▪our inability to anticipate and respond to changes in adult nicotine consumer preferences and purchase behavior;

▪our inability to compete effectively;

▪the growth of the e-vapor category, including illicit disposable e-vapor products, which contributes to reductions in domestic cigarette consumption levels and shipment volume;

▪the impact of illicit trade in nicotine products and the sale of products designed to avoid the regulatory framework for nicotine products, each of which contribute to reductions in the consumption levels and shipment volumes of our operating companies’ products;

▪our failure to develop and commercialize innovative products, including nicotine products that may reduce health risks relative to other nicotine products and appeal to adult nicotine consumers;

▪changes, including in macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions (including inflation, tariffs and the economic impacts of international armed conflicts), that result in shifts in adult nicotine consumer disposable income and purchasing behavior, including choosing lower-priced and discount brands or products, and reductions in shipment volumes;

▪unfavorable outcomes with respect to litigation proceedings or any governmental investigations, including significant monetary and non-monetary remedies and importation bans;

▪the risks associated with significant federal, state and local government actions, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory actions and inaction, and various private sector actions;

▪the risk that regulators, including the FDA, and courts may interpret laws, rules and regulations applicable to our operating companies’ products differently than we do;

▪increases in nicotine product-related taxes;

▪our failure to complete or manage successfully strategic relationships or transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, commercial relationships and investments in third parties, or realize the anticipated benefits of such transactions;

▪significant changes in price, availability or quality of tobacco, other raw materials or component parts, including as a result of changes in macroeconomic, geopolitical, climate and environmental conditions;

▪our reliance on a few significant facilities and a small number of key suppliers, distributors and distribution chain service providers and the risks associated with an extended disruption at a facility or in service by a supplier, distributor or distribution chain service provider;

▪the risk that we may be required to write down goodwill and intangible assets, including trademarks and other intellectual property, due to impairment;

▪the risks associated with our Initiative, including risks relating to business continuity, our internal control over financial reporting and audit procedures and our ability to recognize the expected efficiencies;

▪the risk that we could decide, or be required, to recall products;

▪the various risks related to health epidemics and pandemics and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and health authorities implement to address them;

▪our inability to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce due to the decreasing social acceptance of tobacco usage, tobacco control actions and other factors;

▪the compliance risks associated with our expanded international business activities and the related complexity of U.S. and foreign laws and regulations applicable to those activities;

▪the risks concerning a challenge to our tax positions, an increase in the income tax rate or other changes to federal or state tax laws;

▪the risks associated with legal and regulatory requirements related to climate change and other environmental sustainability matters;

▪disruption and uncertainty in the credit and capital markets, including the risk of losing access to these markets;

▪a downgrade or potential downgrade of our credit ratings;

▪the impact of heightened focus by investors and other stakeholders on our performance relating to corporate responsibility matters;

▪the failure of our, or our key service providers’ or key suppliers’, information systems to function as intended, or cyber-attacks or security breaches affecting us or our key service providers or key suppliers;

▪our failure, or the failure of our key service providers or key suppliers, to comply with laws related to personal data protection, privacy, artificial intelligence and information security;

▪the risk that the expected benefits of our investment in ABI may not materialize in the expected manner or timeframe or at all; and

▪the risks associated with our investment in Cronos, including legal, regulatory and reputational risks and the risk that the expected benefits of the transaction may not materialize in the expected manner or timeframe or at all.

We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that we may make from time to time except as required by applicable law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Altria or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above.
