British American Tobacco said its Chief Financial Officer Soraya Benchikh was stepping down with immediate effect.

The U.K. tobacco group is launching a recruitment process to find a new CFO. Until then, Javed Iqbal--currently director, digital and information--is taking on the role on an interim basis. Benchikh remains available to support the transition until the end of the year, BAT said Tuesday.

The company also said it was on track to meet its full-year guidance.
