LONDON--Imperial Brands PLC (IMB.LN) said on Thursday that it is on track to meet its full-year expectations and generate further returns for shareholders.

The tobacco company also said that the full-year trend for total tobacco volumes and operating profit margin was broadly in line with the first half of fiscal 2016.

The growth in tobacco revenue was driven by the recent U.S. acquisition and the benefit of currency translation, the company said.

Imperial Brands will post its fiscal 2016 results on Nov. 8, it said.
