The company on Thursday said strong combustible pricing was offset by temporarily increased volume declines against a prior period which benefited from Covid-related changes in buying patterns.
“We expect a stronger net revenue performance in the second half, supported by a normalisation of volume trends and price increases taken during the first half. As expected, our exit from Russia will result in first-half Group net revenue being slightly below last year on a constant currency basis,” Imperial said.
