Imperial Brands Sees FY Revenue Flat As Pandemic Spurs Smoking

LONDON: British tobacco company Imperial Brands on Thursday forecast full-year net revenue to be broadly flat and in line with market estimates, as it works through the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The forecast is slightly above guidance provided at its half-year results, the maker of Gauloises and West cigarettes said in its first indication of performance under CEO Stefan Bomhard, who joined in July.
