Catalysts & risks

Growth catalysts
+ Acceleration of next-generation products (Velo nicotine pouches, Vuse vaping) offsetting cigarette declines
+ Successful execution of £1.3B share buyback program in 2026 supporting EPS growth
+ Resolution of regulatory headwinds (UK menthol ban dropped in 2025, but generational tobacco ban progressing)
+ Geographic expansion in emerging markets with strong smokeless product adoption
Key risks
- UK generational tobacco ban and US FDA restrictions on flavored e-cigarettes creating regulatory headwinds
- Structural decline in traditional cigarette volumes offsetting NGP growth gains
- Illicit trade and taxation pressures in developing markets (Bangladesh, East Africa)
- Sustained margin compression if NGP categories priced lower than traditional tobacco
