  • ASH NEW ZEALAND Tobacco Returns Analysis 2013 1 TOBACCO
    ASH NEW ZEALAND Tobacco Returns Analysis 2013 TOBACCO RETURNS ANALYSIS 2013 Tobacco manufacturers and importers in New Zealand are required to file their annual tobacco returns pursuant to section 35 of the Smokefree Environments Act 1990. The tobacco returns consist of two components – Schedule A and Schedule B. Schedule A is the information about ingredients and amounts used in their tobacco products. Schedule B is the company list of all their products, retail price and sale quantity We analysed data from Schedule B in order to understand the brand positioning of the major tobacco companies. This includes analysis of retail price, sale volume and estimated sales returned of all tobacco brands. Market share also is estimated based on this data. This analysis accounted for cigarette and loose leaf tobacco products sold within New Zealand (or domestic market). Information provided by tobacco companies may vary and hence the results of the analysis. British American Tobacco New Zealand (BATNZ) provided recommended retail prices as at January 2013 while Imperial Tobacco New Zealand and Philip Morris provided theirs as at December 2013. This had resulted in artificially higher estimates of average retail price and sale return for BATNZ products due to the January 2014 tax increase. Having considered this, most of the results on overall tobacco market in this analysis were presented according to the sale quantity and hence better accuracy. Fourteen companies filed their tobacco returns in 2013. As this analysis only included cigarette and loose leaf tobacco products, three companies were excluded as they sold cigar or other tobacco products. Tobacco Returns 2012 can be accessed through the National Drug Policy New Zealand website (http://www.ndp.govt.nz/moh.nsf/indexcm/ndp-tobacco-returns-2012 ).

  • 150526Reynoldsjbstatement.Pdf
    Dissenting Statement of Commissioner Julie Brill In the Matter of Reynolds American, Inc. and Lorillard Inc. File No. 141-0168 May 26, 2015 A majority of the Commission has voted to accept a consent to resolve competitive concerns stemming from Reynolds American, Inc.’s $27.4 billion acquisition of Lorillard Tobacco Company, a transaction combining the second and third largest cigarette manufacturers in the United States. Under the terms of the consent, Reynolds will divest some of its weaker non-growth brands – Winston, Kool, and Salem – as well as Lorillard’s brand Maverick to Imperial Tobacco Group plc, a British firm that currently operates as Commonwealth here in the United States.1 The Commission will allow Reynolds to retain its sought-after growth brands, Camel and Pall Mall, as well as Lorillard’s flagship brand Newport. I respectfully dissent because I am not convinced that the remedy accepted by the Commission fully resolves the competitive concerns arising from this transaction. By accepting the parties’ proposed divestitures and allowing the merger to proceed, the Commission is betting on Imperial’s ability and incentive to compete vigorously with a set of weak and declining brands. For the reasons explained below, Imperial’s ability to do so is at best uncertain. I thus have reason to believe that Reynolds’ acquisition of Lorillard, even after the divestitures to Imperial, is likely to substantially lessen competition in the U.S. cigarette market. As a result of the Commission’s failure to take meaningful action against this merger, the remaining two major cigarette manufacturers – Altria/Philip Morris and Reynolds – will likely be able to impose higher cigarette prices on consumers.
