Comments Key Points for External Use Nine Months Ended September 31, 1995 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Brown and Williamson's trading profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $787.0 million, an increase of 59.8% compared to 1994. The higher level of profitability is attributable to gains in both the U.S. and international markets. The higher domestic profitability is primarily due to the inclusion of the American Tobacco brands and a May price increase, slightly offset by higher marketing expenses. Brown & Williamson's total turnover for the first nine months of 1995 was $3,869.8 million, an increase of 50.8% compared to 1994. This increase is primarily due to the volume increases in both the domestic (attributable to the ATCo brands) and international businesses and a May 1995 price increase in the domestic market. Domestic cigarette volume of 65.9 billion is 57.5% higher than 1994. Domestic turnover increased 59.0% and domestic profit contribution increased 70.4% over their respective 1994 levels. These domestic increases are primarily the result of the inclusion of the American Tobacco brands and the May 1995 price increase.
