The Changing Tobacco Industry

Transforming Tobacco A changing Industry
As Transformation of the Industry continues there will be opportunities for… Sales Growth Increased Margins Category Sustainability Customers who embrace Transformation can benefit from a growing category. While smoke free/alternative segments are growing and adding profits back to the category, it is important to understand the role cigarettes will play in the future. Today cigarettes represent 87% of category sales and are by far the largest contributor of foot traffic and category profits. In the future, cigarettes will provide resources to support the funding for innovation. Additionally, the majority of consumers purchasing Alternative Tobacco Products are moving from cigarettes.

General Requirements 2015 Program Overview Space Signage
In order to participate in the 2015 RJRT Portfolio Plan Retail Program, the following general requirements apply: Signage Consumer Pricing Fairness (CPF)
20
Fixture/display configuration does not dictate resource levels
2015 Program Overview Space – General Guidelines All highly visible space can qualify for a contract Space = Space Fixture/display configuration does not dictate resource levels General Requirements = Vertical Horizontal Kiosk
21
General Requirements 2015 Program Overview
Space – General Guidelines, cont. RJRT brands will be merchandised in no less than the #2 position as defined by RJRT. All RJRT space must be “Featured Shelf Space” from the point of purchase as determined by RJRT. “Featured Shelf Space” is defined as merchandising space no less than 24” from the bottom shelf of the fixture or 27” from the floor and highly visible from the point of purchase. General Requirements The 24/27” rule will apply to all high profile sets. In low profile sets, if the entire set is “highly visible,” only the brand communication signage must be above the 24/27” line. Non-Vertical – RJRT must occupy a minimum height of 18” across the fixture.
22
General Requirements 2015 Program Overview
Space – General Guidelines, cont. Percent of space requirements will apply to all contracts regardless of configuration and/or trade channel. For back bar configurations, RJRT brands will occupy “Featured Shelf Space” that is equal to, as determined by RJRT, the greater of (i) RJRT’s outlet SOM, (ii) RJRT’s local SOM, and (iii) eight square feet. In no case will RJRT “Feature Shelf Space” be less than 8 square feet. General Requirements For traditional pack and kiosk configurations, RJRT space on the kiosk window or counter must, at a minimum, equal the greater of (i) RJRT’s outlet SOM or (ii) RJRT’s local SOM. In no case will RJRT have less than three displays and/or three square feet of presence or be merchandised in less than the #2 position. This option is only available if there is no visible consolidated back bar.
23
General Requirements 2015 Program Overview Signage
RJRT will be allowed to place off-set price communication signage for up to three brands within the retail outlet in a highly visible location as determined by RJRT. General Requirements If no competitive off-set signage is present in the outlet, Retailer is not required to have off-set RJRT price signage provided that Retailer provides sufficient space on the merchandising set for RJRT price communication. RJRT has the right to match competitive signs based on share of signage at the discretion of RJRT. Share of signage = Share of Market in the outlet. For example, if PM has a Marlboro price sign, we can match with a NEWPORT/CAMEL price sign: Marlboro Price Sign = NEWPORT or CAMEL 2x2 Price Sign. L&M / Maverick Sign = PALL MALL Box 2x2 Price Sign.
24
General Requirements 2015 Program Overview
CPF Requirements—All States (Excluding Missouri*) Fair and equitable pricing of NEWPORT, CAMEL and PALL MALL will be a critical component of the 2015 program.

General Requirements Single Pack Example: Single Pack Price= $5.00 ATC buys a pack of CAMEL VAP $.75 off a pack RJRT requires the full value of VAP promotions be passed through to consumer $ $0.75 = $4.25 2-Pack Special Example: Single Pack Price= $5.00 Outlet Funded 2-Pack Special Price= $8.50 ATC buys 2 packs of CAMEL VAP $0.75 off a pack RJRT required method is to sell the 2 packs at the outlet funded 2-pack special minus the VAP offer. $ $1.50 = $7.00

Retailer is always free to lower the prices on MSFT products. General Requirements
30
General Requirements 2015 Program Overview CPF Program Methodologies
The CPF Program specifies the only pricing methodologies (margin, markup, or penny profit) a Retailer may use to calculate pricing. Margin is retail selling price minus cost of goods divided by retail selling price. Example: if a product costs $2.50 and a retailer sells it for $3.00, then the retailer makes a margin of $ $2.50 = $0.50 divided by $3.00 = 16.7%. Markup is retail selling price minus cost of goods divided by cost of goods. Example: if a product costs $2.50 and a retailer sells it for $3.00, then retailer makes a markup of $ $2.50 = $0.50 divided by $2.50 = 20%. Penny Profit is retail selling price minus cost of goods with the difference expressed in terms of dollars per unit. Example: if a product costs $2.50 and a retailer sells it for $3.00, then the retailer has a penny profit of $0.50. General Requirements

EDLP CPF Requirements—All States Excluding MO 2015 Program Overview
Why EDLP? Opportunity to have the #1 Value Brand in the U.S. at an Every Day Low Price for Consumers Rising Cigarette Costs and Declining Sales create an opportunity to Manage SKU Proliferation of the category. EDLP can help achieve this! Premium/Super Premium and Value represent 93% of Category Sales. Price Tier Shifts have been relatively flat over the past decade and opportunity in the low price segment is minimal. Maximize Resources on RJRT Growth Brands; (NEWPORT/CAMEL/PALL MALL) which represent 29% of all Cigarettes sold in the U.S. RJRT Growth Brand CPW is 35% higher in EDLP outlets. This may accelerate now that NEWPORT has joined the RJRT Family EDLP Source: MSAi STR Data 2014
36
EDLP CPF Requirements—All States Excluding MO 2015 Program Overview
EDLP Component - Requirements Retailer must maintain PALL MALL as the lowest, or at parity with the lowest, priced savings brand of cigarettes that Retailer sells. The only exception to this is with respect to a lower price on a value added promotion for a full price brand (as an example, RJRT considers Marlboro to be a full price cigarette brand), RJRT does not consider such pricing to violate the pricing requirement for PALL MALL. For purposes of this exception, a value added promotion is a temporary price on a limited quantity of specially marked products. Example: Marlboro Special Blend Promotions Accounts cannot split EDLP vs. No EDLP. Entire account must participate if this component is chosen. EDLP
37
EDLP CPF Requirements—All States Excluding MO 2015 Program Overview
