4. Opportunity in E-Cigs

5. Value Proposition eCigarettes offer to the consumer: – Freedom to smoke whenever and wherever one chooses to – No smell – Decreased social stigma – Significantly reduced health risks

8. Competitors eCigarette industry is large and highly fragmented Currently, Blu commands ~40% market share followed by NJOY which has ~30% market share Quickly changing industry with recent entry of Reynolds and Altria

9. E-Cig Economics

10. Razor/BladE Model RazorBlade $35

11. Margins Low Margins on Starter Packs High Margins on Cartridges Margin Expansion as product matures

12. Distribution Channels Lorillard Retailers Customers

13. E-Cig Regulation

14. Regulation Currently, eCigarette regulation is state by state with the only restrictions being on sales to minors FDA has them listed as tobacco products, and they are thus subject to fewer regulations Since eCigarettes are under laxer FDA regulations, they can be advertised on television and radio Due to the appeal of flavors to children, many have called for the ban of the different flavors of eCigarette cartridge

15. Valuation

16. Valuation of Blu (Revenue) $530 mm * (P/S) 3 Equity Value = $1.59 bn

17. P/S Comps GMCR: 2.7 ISRG: 6.26 SODA: 2.68 SSYS: 12.50

18. Legacy Business

19. Cigarette Industry The largest firms within industry are Altria, Reynolds, and Lorillard Huge variety within cigarette industry, but menthol and regular are the most commonly used Additionally, there are light and medium cigarettes which have less nicotine and tar than the regular Decline within cigarette industry but slower within menthol category 2% annualized decline for Menthol vs. 4% for non- Menthol

20. Lorillard is Menthol Newports are the menthol brand Sustained dominance without discounting

21. Menthol is Resistant Menthol caters to a lower socio-economic demographic More deeply embedded smoking habits Little crossover between flavors Minimal cannibalization from shift to ecigs

22. Expansion into Non-Menthol No existing presence means easy market share gains Small upfront costs mitigate risk Much larger non-menthol market means small gains are profitable

23. Regulation Menthol-specific regulation has been tossed around for a long time Current efforts remain stalled Science does not appear to support difference in damage between menthol and non-menthol clearing of overhang would help stock

24. Segment Projections Proven ability to increase prices Flat volume due to new markets ~1-2% annual revenue growth

25. Segment Valuation Currently Trades at 10.6 EV/EBITDA MO10.4 EV/EBITDA, RAI 11.9 We believe a fair valuation is 12x

26. Valuation

27. Variant Perception Market sees E-Cigs as too small This segment should be valued at a premium to the rest of the business

28. Traditional Metrics Other tobacco companies are trading at: – P/E (industry average): 14 – P/CF (industry average): 16 On these metrics, LO should trade for: – $54 based on P/E (20% upside) – $58 based on P/CF (28% upside)

29. Optionalities Lorillard can expand into: – Non-Menthol Non-Full Flavor – Non-Menthol Full Flavor

30. Valuation Revenue = $530mm P/S = 3 Equity Value = $1.59 bn EBIT = $2.033bn EV/EBIT = 12 EV = $24.4 bn Equity Value = $1.59 bn + $24.4 bn - $3.1bn = $23 bn (35% upside) E-CigarettesTraditional

31. Recommendation BIG should take a 5% position on Wednesday morning
