Imperial Brands PLC, a major player in the tobacco and next-generation products (NGP) industry, has reported its financial results for the year ending September 2025. The company continues to show strong operational momentum, with a focus on both traditional tobacco products and innovative NGPs.
The latest earnings report highlights a 4.1% growth in tobacco and NGP net revenue, driven by strong tobacco pricing and a 13.7% increase in NGP net revenue. Despite a slight decline in reported revenue by 0.7%, the company saw a 4.6% growth in group adjusted operating profit. The company’s strategic focus on market share stability and expansion in priority markets, such as Germany and the US, has been a key driver of growth.
Imperial Brands has also increased shareholder returns, with a 4.5% rise in dividends and a completed £1.25 billion share buyback for FY25. The company has returned £10 billion to shareholders over the past five years and has commenced a £1.45 billion share buyback for FY26. The company’s strategy includes a focus on consumer insights, innovation, and a more agile organizational structure.
Looking ahead, Imperial Brands expects continued growth in both tobacco and NGP sectors, with a focus on consumer-focused innovation and disciplined execution. The company anticipates a 3% to 5% growth in group adjusted operating profit for FY26, supported by ongoing investments and strategic initiatives.
