British American Tobacco first-half revenues, profits to slip
LONDON (Reuters) -British American Tobacco said on Tuesday that declining sales of cigarettes and the rise of illegal vapes in the U.S. will likely dent its half-year earnings, adding that it is sticking to its forecast for low single digit annual growth. The maker of Dunhill and Lucky Strike cigarettes has been forced to lower its hopes for revenue and profit growth as it grapples with a tough environment in the U.S., one of its key markets. There, both the company's traditional tobacco business and its portfolio of newer products such as vapes are struggling as users switch out its more expensive brands for illegal disposable vapes or cheaper cigarettes.
