Imperial Tobacco’s 10% growth in cigarette volumes for the year (in its full year results) included the effect of the acquisition of Altadis. A better indication of underlying growth is given by the 5% growth in net revenue at CER in the second half — the second half is comparable year on year as Altadis as acquired in the first half of last year.
Other key numbers were:
- Adjusted operating profit in H2 +7%
- Cash conversion 128%
- Adjusted EPS +18% to 161.8p
- Full year dividend +16% to 73p
At 1828p Imperial Tobacco is, on these numbers, on a PE of 11.3× and a yield of 4%.
