Imperial Brands PLC
Imperial Brands is a tobacco company that sells cigarettes, fine-cut tobacco, cigars, rolling papers, and some next-generation nicotine products such as vaping and heated-tobacco items. Its brands are sold through retailers, convenience stores, wholesalers, and duty-free channels in many markets around the world. The company makes money mainly by selling branded tobacco and nicotine products to distributors and retailers, who then sell them to adult consumers. It also earns income from pricing its brands, keeping shelf space with retailers, and selling products that are used repeatedly rather than bought once. What makes Imperial Brands different is that it sits near the center of the tobacco value chain: it owns the brands, manages product development and packaging, and relies on a wide network of third-party sellers to reach shoppers. That gives it a business built around recurring demand, strong brand recognition, and tight control over distribution in a heavily regulated industry.

Guidance Reaffirmed: Imperial Brands reported half-year results in line with previous guidance, maintaining confidence in delivering full-year performance as expected.
Market Share Improvement: The company achieved a 20 basis point increase in aggregate combustible tobacco market share across its top 5 markets, marking four consecutive half-year periods of stable or growing share.
Strong Pricing Offset Volume Decline: Robust pricing gains, particularly in the US and Europe, helped offset volume declines resulting from the unwinding of pandemic effects and the Russia exit.
NGP Growth in Europe: Next Generation Products (NGP) revenue in Europe grew 35%, driven by new product launches, though NGP remains in investment mode with increased losses as planned.
Margins and Buyback: Like-for-like profit margin improved by 30 basis points, and the GBP 1 billion share buyback is on track for completion by the end of September.
Volume Headwinds Easing: Management expects volume declines to moderate in the second half as comparators normalize and tailwinds from pricing and NGP launches take effect.
Dividend Increase: A 1.5% increase in the dividend has been announced, reflecting continued focus on shareholder returns.
