Altria Q3 revenue slips 0.4% to $6.3 billion as NJOY gains market share
Altria’s Q3 2024 report shows net revenue down 0.4% to $6.3 billion. Despite the slight decline, NJOY brand shipments and market share increased, with a growing share in the U.S. nicotine pouch market.

Altria Group, Inc. released its Q3 and nine-month earnings report for 2024 on its official website. The report shows that Q3 net revenue declined by 0.4% to $6.3 billion, while net revenue excluding excise taxes increased by 1.3% to $5.3 billion. 

 

For the first nine months, net revenue dropped by 2.5% to $18 billion, and net revenue excluding excise taxes decreased by 0.9% to $15.3 billion. The revenue decline was primarily attributed to decreased net revenue in the smokeable products segment.

Altria CEO Billy Gifford commented: "Altria achieved outstanding performance in the third quarter, with resilient Marlboro-driven revenue growth in the combustible products segment, and our MST brand continued to drive profitability in the oral tobacco segment while the on! brand maintained its momentum. We continue to reward shareholders through dividend growth and share repurchases while investing to pursue our vision."
