3Q results support higher full-year forecast

On Oct. 22, RAI announced third-quarter results that prompted the company to increase its full-year guidance. The company now expects full-year 2008 earnings growth in the low single digits. Third-quarter reported EPS of $0.72 was down 40.5 percent from the prior-year period due to $0.57 in restructuring and trademark impairment charges. Adjusted EPS for the third quarter was $1.29, up 6.6 percent from the year-ago quarter. RAI’s net earnings for the nine-month period were up on both a reported and adjusted basis as pricing and productivity improvements more than offset cigarette volume declines and higher settlement expense.
