In its announcement, management warned that it will lose around $2 billion in annual revenues from this decision. That breaks down to around $1.5 billion in tobacco sales and $500 million in sales of other products to tobacco customers., or around 17 cents per share.
In fiscal 2012, CVS had $123 billion in net sales and earned $3.03 per share from continuing operations.
Shares are down by around 1.6% in premarket trading.
