Welcome to My 2nd Quarter 2021 Dividend Report. This Report is dedicated to tracking my quarterly dividend income. Many of you already know I love Growth and Income stocks as a great way to beat inflation while companies pay you to wait while they execute there growth plans. My Goal is to average $5,000/month or $15,000/quarter in dividend income.

RICHMOND, Va. – July 29, 2021 – Altria Group, Inc. (Altria) (NYSE: MO) today reports its 2021 secondquarter and first-half business results and narrows its 2021 full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS)
guidance. “Altria delivered outstanding results in the second quarter, thanks to the continued strength of our
tobacco businesses and the hard work of our highly talented employees,” said Billy Gifford, Altria’s Chief
Executive Officer. “Our teams have continued their commitment to Moving Beyond SmokingTM by deepening their understanding of adult tobacco consumer preferences, expanding the awareness and availability of our smoke-free product portfolio, and amplifying our voice on harm reduction within the scientific and public health communities.” “With our strong financial performance in the first half, we have raised the lower end of our full-year 2021 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range and now expect full-year adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $4.56 to $4.62, representing a growth rate of 4.5% to 6% from a $4.36 base in 2020. This updated guidance reflects continued confidence in our tobacco businesses, investments in smoke-free products and the expected impact of the recently announced agreement to sell our Ste. Michelle Wine Estates business.
