share buyback program and to deliver three-year cumulative returns of 6.0
billion pounds including buybacks and its dividend.

The company said it remains firmly on track to deliver against the guidance and
expectations for the current year and expects to deliver low-single-digit
constant currency tobacco and NGP net revenue growth, while growing constant
currency adjusted operating profit close to the middle of its mid-single digit
range.

The company noted that earnings per share growth will benefit additionally from
the continued reduction in share count as a result of our ongoing share buyback
program, although this will be offset slightly by increased adjusted finance and
tax costs.
