Imperial Brands Reports Strong H1 2025 Performance

Imperial Brands PLC (ADR) ( (IMBBY) ) has released its Q2 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Imperial Brands PLC (ADR) presented to its investors.

Imperial Brands PLC, a prominent player in the tobacco industry, is known for its diverse portfolio of tobacco products and next-generation products (NGP), operating globally with a focus on strategic market growth.

In its latest earnings report for the first half of 2025, Imperial Brands PLC highlighted a robust performance with market share gains in key markets, strong tobacco pricing, and significant growth in NGP revenues. The company also reported a substantial increase in its interim dividend and continued its share buyback program.

Key financial metrics showed a 3.2% increase in tobacco and NGP net revenue at constant currency, driven by a 15.4% rise in NGP revenue and a 2.7% increase in tobacco revenue. Adjusted earnings per share rose by 6.0%, supported by a reduction in share count and strong cash flow conversion. Despite a decline in reported revenue due to adverse foreign exchange impacts, the company maintained its strategic focus on market share and pricing.

Imperial Brands remains committed to delivering on its full-year guidance, with expectations of low-single-digit growth in tobacco and NGP net revenue and mid-single-digit growth in adjusted operating profit. The company continues to invest in its NGP business to drive sustainable growth while maintaining a progressive dividend policy and ongoing share buybacks.

Looking forward, Imperial Brands is poised to continue its strategic initiatives, focusing on strengthening its market position and delivering long-term shareholder value through its 2030 strategy, which emphasizes sustainable growth and capital returns.
