It is subject to highly competitive conditions in all aspects of its business. It competes primarily on the basis of product quality, brand recognition, brand loyalty, taste, innovation, packaging, service, marketing, advertising and price. Its competitors include three large international tobacco companies and several regional and local tobacco companies and, in some instances, government-owned tobacco enterprises, principally in China, Egypt, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and Algeria. It purchases tobacco leaf of various grades and styles throughout the world, the majority through independent tobacco dealer. None of its business segments are dependent upon a single customer or a few customers. Its business segments are not significantly affected by seasonality, although in certain markets cigarette consumption trends rise during the summer months due to longer daylight time and tourism. |
