Frequently Asked Questions

An amendment to a 10-K filing (10-K/A) means that Altria Group has made corrections, additions, or changes to information previously reported in its original 10-K filing for the fiscal year 2020. Investors should carefully review the amended sections to understand the nature of these changes and their potential impact on the company's financial health and outlook.

The incorporation of ABI Financial Statements from Exhibit 99.4 suggests that ABI represents a significant business segment, subsidiary, or investment for Altria. Investors should look into the full 10-K report to understand ABI's contribution to Altria's overall revenue, profitability, assets, and liabilities, as well as any associated risks or strategic importance.

The inclusion of consents from both PwC and Deloitte suggests that these firms audited different parts of Altria's financial statements or related entities. This could be due to the complexity of Altria's business structure, including subsidiaries or joint ventures, each requiring independent audit oversight. It underscores a rigorous audit process.
