EUROPEAN UNION REGION (EU)

2012 Full-Year

In the EU, net revenues decreased by 7.4% to $8.5 billion, due primarily to unfavorable currency of $716 million. Excluding currency, net revenues increased by 0.3%, mainly reflecting favorable pricing of $475 million, driven by France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Switzerland, partly offset by unfavorable volume/mix of $445 million, predominantly due to a lower total market and share in Italy, France, Portugal and Spain.

Operating companies income decreased by 8.2% to $4.2 billion, due primarily to unfavorable currency of $384 million. Excluding the unfavorable impact of currency, operating companies income increased by 0.2%, reflecting higher pricing and favorable asset impairment and exit costs compared to 2011, offset by: an unfavorable volume/mix of $380 million; higher manufacturing costs, mainly related to the mandated implementation of reduced cigarette ignition propensity standards which began in the fourth quarter of 2011; and higher marketing costs, principally reflecting marketing investment behind new brand launches and the roll-out of the “Be Marlboro” marketing campaign.

Adjusted operating companies income decreased by 9.0%, as shown in the table below and detailed on Schedule 15. Adjusted operating companies income, excluding currency, decreased by 0.6%.
