The 2006 effective tax rate includes the previously discussed $337 million reimbursement from Altria for federal tax reserves no
longer required along with net state tax reserve reversals of $39 million. The 2006 tax rate also benefited from the resolution of
various tax items in our foreign operations, dividend repatriation benefits, joint venture earnings, and lower foreign tax rates
enacted in 2006 (primarily Canada). These benefits were partially offset by state tax expense and by the tax costs associated
with our 2006 divestitures.
The 2005 effective tax rate includes tax benefits of $117 million from dividend repatriation including the impact from the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the resolution of outstanding items in our international operations, and the settlement of an
outstanding U.S. tax claim. The 2005 tax rate also benefited from our 2005 divestitures, which was partially offset by state tax
expense.
