Philip Morris USA, the nation’s leading cigarette manufacturer, is more than 167 years old. The history of the company can be traced back to Philip Morris’ 1847 opening of a single shop on London’s Bond Street, which sold tobacco and ready-made cigarettes.

In 1902, Philip Morris & Co., Ltd. incorporated as a small tobacco company in New York City. In 1960, Philip Morris was the smallest among the six major tobacco companies in the United States.

By 1983, the company grew to become the largest cigarette manufacturer in the U.S. in terms of revenue and market share.

*Retail share results for cigarettes are based on data from IRI/MSAi, a tracking service that uses a sample of stores and certain wholesale shipments to project market share and depict share trends. The service tracks sales in the Food, Drug and Mass Merchandisers (including Wal-Mart), Convenience, Military, Dollar Store and Club trade classes. For other trade classes selling cigarettes, retail share is based on shipments from wholesalers to retailers (STARS). These services are not designed to capture sales through other channels, including the internet, direct mail and some illicitly tax-advantaged outlets. It is IRI's standard practice to periodically refresh its services, which could restate retail share results that were previously released in these services.

USSTC

2;#Altria

U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company has an American heritage and a relationship with the American farmer that dates back to 1822. It began when George Weyman, inventor of Copenhagen Snuff, opened his tobacco shop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Over the next two centuries, the evolution of USSTC closely mirrored the explosive growth of the United States.

USSTC joined Altria Group in 2009 and today is the world’s leading producer and marketer of moist smokeless tobacco products.

*Retail share results for smokeless products are based on data from IRI InfoScan. The service tracks sales in the Food, Drug and Mass Merchandisers (including Wal-Mart), Convenience, Military, Dollar Store and Club trade classes on the number of cans and packs sold. Smokeless products is defined by IRI as moist smokeless and spit-free tobacco products. Other includes certain USSTC and PM USA smokeless products. New types of smokeless products, as well as new packaging configuration of existing smokeless products, may or may not be equivalent to existing MST products on a can for can basis. USSTC and PM USA have assumed that one pack of snus, irrespective of the number of pouches in the pack, is equivalent to one can of MST. All other products are considered to be equivalent on a can for can basis. Because this service represents retail share performance only in key trade channels, it should not be considered a precise measurement of actual retail share. It is IRI's standard practice to periodically refresh its InfoScan services, which could restate retail share results that were previously released in this service.

Market Share

*Retail share results for cigars are based on data from IRI InfoScan. The service tracks sales in the Food, Drug and Mass Merchandisers (including Wal-Mart), Convenience, Military, Dollar Store and Club trade classes. Retail share results for cigars are based on data for machine-made large cigars. Middleton defines machine-made large cigars as cigars made by machine that weigh greater than three pounds per thousand, except cigars sold at retail in packages of 20 cigars. Because the cigars service represents retail share performance only in key trade channels, it should not be considered a precise measurement of actual retail share. It is IRI's standard practice to periodically refresh its services, which could restate retail share results that were previously released in these services.
