		Imperial Tobacco, the world's fourth biggest tobacco firm, posted a top-of-the-range 11 percent rise in annual profit on Tuesday and said it could spend up to 450 million pounds on share buybacks in the absence of acquisitions.
		Imperial's Davis said the second-half recovery was led by the growth of West and Davidoff volumes as it sold around 175 billion cigarettes in its financial year.
		The group proposed a 12 percent increase in its annual dividend to 56 pence a share, while its adjusted earnings per share rose 11 percent to 112.8p a share, at the top of the forecast range of 110.6-112.8p.

	Interview with Gareth Davis, Imperial Tobacco Group: TWST
		GARETH DAVIS is the Chief Executive of Imperial Tobacco Group Plc
		We have a long and illustrious history, we're one of the oldest tobacco companies in the world, and parts of our business date back to the 1700s, but the more modern Imperial Tobacco was formed in 1901 to fend off American competition.
		For most of the 20th Century our tobacco business was largely in the UK, and it was only in the very latter part - the 1990s - that we started to develop as an international tobacco business; and that was achieved by international organic growth and acquisitions which were largely internationally skewed.

		Davis: Some parts of Imperial date back to the late 1700s, but in essence Imperial was formed in 1901, when 13 British tobacco companies merged in order to fight off competition from the American Tobacco Company.
		Certainly, in the 1960s, Imperial began to use its tobacco cash flow to acquire branded-product businesses outside of the tobacco industry, notably in brewing, foods, and catering and leisure sectors.
		This was followed in July 1998, with the acquisition of the tobacco business of Douwe Egbert Van Nelle, the world market leaders in roll-your-own tobacco, from Sara Lee.
