  • NYSE VGR 2011.Pdf
    April 5, 2012 Dear Fellow Stockholder, Vector Group performed well in 2011 as a result of strong execution of our business plan. During the year, we profitably grew our Liggett tobacco business and our 50%-owned Douglas Elliman real estate business performed steadily. We achieved our primary goals for 2011, to continue to increase market share by focusing on our Pyramid cigarette brand and to increase profits. Our tobacco business grew its market share during the year and Pyramid is now the nation’s sixth-largest brand. We also implemented initiatives to support margin growth, which resulted in increased operating income. We are pleased with Vector Group’s recent performance and believe we are well positioned to capitalize on this momentum in 2012. Overall Financial Results Vector Group’s 2011 revenues increased by approximately 6.6% from the prior year to $1.13 billion. We recorded operating income of $143.3 million in 2011, compared to $111.3 million in 2010. Adjusted operating income for 2010, excluding litigation judgments and settlement charges, was $130.5 million. Thus, adjusted operating income increased 10% in 2011. Additionally, our liquidity remains strong, as cash and cash equivalents were approximately $240.9 million and we held investment securities and partnership interests with a fair market value of approximately $100.5 million at December 31, 2011. Further, the Company continued its long-standing track record of paying a cash dividend of $0.40 per share per quarter, or $1.60 per year, as well as an annual stock dividend of 5% for the 13th consecutive year.

    Vector Group Ltd. 2008 Stockholders’ Report VECTOR GROUP LTD. HOWARD M. LORBER President Chief Executive Officer April 3, 2009 Dear Fellow Stockholder, We are pleased to report that Vector Group generated a strong performance in 2008, particularly in light of challenging conditions in both the tobacco and real estate markets. During the year, Liggett Group, our conventional tobacco business, generated increased revenues and a 6.8% increase in operating income over 2007, and our New Valley subsidiary also performed solidly, fueled by its ownership stake in Douglas Elliman, which generated $22.5 million in EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization) in a volatile real estate market. Coming off a robust 2008, we are confident in our businesses but also recognize that the ongoing economic crisis, as well as some regulatory changes, will undoubtedly impact our overall performance in 2009. We are committed to adapting to this changed environment over the long term and, accordingly, will continue to take steps to position Vector Group to capitalize on the opportunities that arise as a result. Overall Financial Results Vector Group’s 2008 operational results were strong. We recorded operating income of $135.3 million, compared to $125.5 million for 2007. Revenues also increased by approximately 1.8% over the prior year to $565.2 million. Our liquidity remains strong with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $211.1 million as of Decem- ber 31, 2008. In addition, as of year-end, we held investment securities and partnership interests with a fair market value of approximately $83.5 million. Moreover, in 2008, the Company continued to pay a substantial cash dividend of $0.40 per share per quarter, or $1.60 per year, and, for the tenth consecutive year, an annual stock dividend of 5%.
