Disclosure Of Condensed Consolidating Financial Information [Abstract]  
Summarised financial information 34 Summarised financial information
The following summarised financial information is required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and has been
prepared as a requirement of the Regulation S-X 3-10 in respect of the guarantees of:
US$6.89 billion of outstanding bonds issued by B.A.T Capital Corporation (BATCAP) in connection with the acquisition of Reynolds
American Inc. (Reynolds American), including registered bonds issued in exchange for the initially issued bonds (the 2017 Bonds);
US$10.12 billion of outstanding bonds issued by BATCAP pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed on July 17, 2019,
and US$6.3 billion of outstanding bonds issued by BATCAP pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed on July 1,
2022 pursuant to which BATCAP, BATIF or the Company may issue an indefinite amount of debt securities; and
US$2.50 billion of outstanding bonds issued by BATIF pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed on July 17, 2019,
and US$1 billion of outstanding bonds issued by BATIF pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed on July 1, 2022
pursuant to which BATCAP, BATIF or the Company may issue an indefinite amount of debt securities.
As of July 28, 2020, all relevant Group entities suspended their reporting obligations with respect to the US$6.7 billion (2023: US$6.7 billion)
of Reynolds American unsecured notes and US$22.1 million (2023: US$22.1 million) of Lorillard unsecured notes. As such, no summarised
financial information is provided with respect to these securities.
As described below, Reynolds American is a subsidiary guarantor of all outstanding series of BATCAP and BATIF bonds. Under the terms
of the indentures governing such notes, any subsidiary guarantor (including Reynolds American) other than BATCAP or BATIF, as
applicable, BATNF and BATHTN, will automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its guarantee, and such
guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect, in the event that (1) its guarantee of all then
outstanding notes issued under the Group’s EMTN Programme is released or (2) at substantially the same time its guarantee of the debt
securities is terminated, such subsidiary guarantor is released from all obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money for
which such subsidiary guarantor is an obligor (as a guarantor or borrower). Under the EMTN Programme, Reynolds American’s guarantee
is released if at any time the aggregate amount of indebtedness for borrowed money, subject to certain exceptions, for which Reynolds
American is an obligor does not exceed 10% of the outstanding long-term debt of BAT as reflected in the balance sheet included in BAT’s
most recent publicly released interim or annual consolidated financial statements.
Reynolds American’s guarantee may be released notwithstanding Reynolds American guaranteeing other indebtedness, provided
Reynolds American’s guarantee of outstanding notes issued under the EMTN Programme is released. If Reynolds American’s guarantee
is released, BAT is not required to replace such guarantee, and the debt securities will have the benefit of fewer subsidiary guarantees for
the remaining maturity of the debt securities.
Note:
The following summarised financial information report the unconsolidated contribution of each applicable company to the Group’s consolidated results and not the separate financial
statements for each applicable company as local financial statements are prepared in accordance with local legislative requirements and may differ from the financial information provided
below. In particular, in respect of the U.S. region, all financial statements and financial information provided by or with respect to the U.S. business or RAI (and/or RAI and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the Reynolds Group)) are prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP and constitute the primary financial statements or financial information of the U.S. business or RAI (and/or the
Reynolds Group). Solely for the purpose of consolidation within the results of BAT p.l.c. and the BAT Group, this financial information is then converted to IFRS. To the extent any such
financial information provided in these financial statements relates to the U.S. business or RAI (and/or the Reynolds Group), it is provided as an explanation of the U.S. business’s or RAI’s
(and/or the Reynolds Group’s) primary U.S. GAAP based financial statements and information.
The subsidiaries disclosed below are wholly-owned and the guarantees provided are full and unconditional, and joint and several:
a.British American Tobacco p.l.c. (as the parent guarantor), referred to as ‘BAT p.l.c.’ in the financials below;
b.B.A.T Capital Corporation (as an issuer or a subsidiary guarantor, as the case may be), referred to as ‘BATCAP’ in the financials below;
c.B.A.T. International Finance p.l.c. (as an issuer or a subsidiary guarantor, as the case may be), referred to as ‘BATIF’ in the financials
below;
d.B.A.T. Netherlands Finance B.V. (as a subsidiary guarantor), referred to as ‘BATNF’ in the financials below;
e.Reynolds American Inc. (as a subsidiary guarantor), referred to as ‘RAI’ in the financials below; and
f.British American Tobacco Holdings (The Netherlands) B.V. (as a subsidiary guarantor of the 2017 Bonds only), referred to as ‘BATHTN’
in the financials below.
In accordance with Regulation S-X 13-01, information in respect of investments in subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors has
been excluded from non-current assets as shown in the balance sheet table below. The ‘BATHTN’ column in the summarised financial
information is only applicable in the context of the 2017 Bonds. British American Tobacco Holdings (The Netherlands) B.V. (BATHTN)
is not an issuer nor guarantor of any of the other securities referenced in this note. None of the issuers or other guarantors has material
balances with or an investment in BATHTN. Investments in subsidiaries represents share capital acquired in relation to or issued by
