Philip Morris Shares Ease After Company Trims 2026 Earnings Outlook (PM)

NYSE:PM
Latest News
June 02 2026 7:12AM

Philip Morris International (NYSE:PM) shares edged lower in premarket trading on Tuesday after the tobacco group reduced its full-year adjusted earnings guidance, reflecting the impact of an expected impairment charge and currency-related headwinds.

The stock slipped around 1% before the opening bell as investors assessed the updated outlook.

Earnings Forecast Narrowed Lower

Philip Morris revised its adjusted earnings-per-share forecast for fiscal 2026 to a range of $8.31 to $8.46.

The updated guidance compares with the company’s previous projection of $8.36 to $8.51 per share and sits broadly in line with the Bloomberg consensus estimate of $8.41.

The adjustment reflects several factors affecting the company’s earnings expectations, including a significant non-cash charge related to its investment in Rothmans, Benson & Hedges (RBH).

Impairment Charge Expected in Second Quarter

The company said it anticipates recording a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $500 million during the second quarter of 2026 related to RBH.

The charge is expected to reduce diluted earnings per share by approximately 33 cents.

Philip Morris noted that RBH remains deconsolidated from the group’s financial statements and that the remaining carrying value of the investment is expected to fall below $100 million following the impairment.

Reported EPS Guidance Updated

To account for the expected impairment and foreign-exchange effects, the company also revised its full-year reported diluted earnings-per-share forecast.

Philip Morris now expects reported diluted EPS for 2026 to be between $7.18 and $7.33.

The updated outlook incorporates both the anticipated RBH impairment and the impact of currency movements on earnings.

Currency Headwinds Affect Quarterly Outlook

The company additionally adjusted its second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS forecast to reflect exchange-rate developments.

Philip Morris now expects second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS to range between $1.97 and $2.02.

Management said the forecast includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of approximately three cents per share based on prevailing foreign-exchange rates.

Underlying Growth Expectations Remain Strong

Despite lowering its headline earnings guidance, Philip Morris emphasized that its underlying growth outlook remains positive.

Excluding total projected adjustments of $1.13 per share for 2026, the company’s adjusted diluted EPS forecast implies growth of between 10.2% and 12.2% compared with adjusted earnings of $7.54 per share recorded in 2025.

The outlook suggests that, while accounting charges and currency fluctuations are affecting reported results, management continues to expect solid operational performance across the business.

Investors will now be watching future updates for additional insight into the company’s earnings trajectory, the impact of foreign-exchange movements and the performance of its expanding portfolio of smoke-free products.

This press release contains projections of future results and goals and other forward-looking statements, including statements regarding expected financial or operational performance; capital allocation plans; investment strategies; regulatory outcomes; market expectations; business plans and strategies. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. In the event that risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, PMI is identifying important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by PMI.
PMI's business risks include: marketing and regulatory restrictions that could reduce our competitiveness, disrupt our SFP commercialization efforts, eliminate our ability to communicate with adult consumers, or ban certain of our products in certain markets or countries; excise tax increases and discriminatory tax structures; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products; litigation related to tobacco and/or nicotine products and intellectual property rights; intense competition; inability to anticipate changes in adult consumer preferences; use and reliance on third-parties; the adverse effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; geopolitical instability; the impact and consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; changes in legal-age adult smoker behavior; continued decline of tax-paid cigarettes; lost revenues as a result of counterfeiting, contraband and cross-border purchases; governmental investigations; unfavorable currency exchange rates and currency devaluations, sustained periods of elevated inflation, and limitations on the ability to repatriate funds; adverse changes in applicable corporate tax laws; disruptions in the credit markets or changes to its credit ratings; recent and potential future tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries; adverse changes in the cost, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as product components for its electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. PMI's future profitability may also be adversely affected should it be unsuccessful, in key markets or systemically, in its efforts to introduce, commercialize, and grow smoke-free products or if regulation or taxation do not differentiate between such products and cigarettes; if it is unable to successfully introduce new products, and promote brand equity; if there are prolonged disruptions of facilities used to produce its products; if it is unable to enter new markets or improve its margins through increased prices and productivity gains; if other market participants are more successful in their SFP commercialization efforts; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our smoke-free products performance.
PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion
Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 105 markets, and as of December 31, 2025, PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for approximately 42% of PMI’s second-quarter 2026 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for legal age adults who would otherwise smoke or use other nicotine-containing consumer products, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus, ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables, General snus and 20 ZYN nicotine pouch variants also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA in their respective categories. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas.

Non-GAAP Measures, Glossary and Explanatory Notes
Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in this release to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures can be found in Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 8-K dated July 22, 2026, and here. A glossary of key terms, definitions and explanatory notes is available in the aforementioned Exhibit 99.2 and on the same webpage, where additional financial schedules, as well as adjustments and other calculations have also been made available.
Management reviews earnings per share, or "EPS," on an adjusted basis, which may exclude the impact of currency and other items such as acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring costs, tax items and other adjusting items. Additionally, starting in 2022 and on a comparative basis, PMI includes adjustments to add back amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets that are recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to PMI’s revenue generation, as well as impairment of intangible assets, if any. While amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets is excluded, the net revenues generated from these acquired intangible assets are included in the company's adjusted measures, unless otherwise stated. Currency-neutral rates reflect the way management views underlying performance for these measures. PMI believes that such measures provide useful insight into underlying business trends and results. Management reviews these measures because they exclude changes in currency exchange rates and other factors that may distort underlying business trends, thereby improving the comparability of PMI’s business performance between reporting periods. Furthermore, PMI uses several of these measures in its management compensation program to promote internal fairness and a disciplined assessment of performance against company targets. PMI discloses these measures to enable investors to view the business through the eyes of management.
Non-GAAP measures used in this release should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

PMI U.S. Launches ZYN "When It Clicks," a New Brand Platform Built Around the Moment Everything Falls Into PlaceSeptember 3, 2026 2:06 PM
PR Newswire (US) The campaign centers on the "click" as a signature brand cue, rolling out across digital, out-of-home, and live cultural moments in 2026STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Philip Morris International's U.S. businesses (PMI U.S.) today announced the national rollout of "When It Clicks," ZYN's new brand campaign inspired by the universal moment when effort, timing, and confidence align. The platform centers on the instantly recognizable sound of "the ZYN click" — the sensory cue that signals momentum and marks the point when everything comes together. The campaign taps into a simple insight: adults increasingly value being present for the moments that matter. In a world filled with constant distractions, competing priorities, and the pull of always being connected, ZYN keeps busy legal-aged nicotine users fully present without having to step away. Inspired by the role ZYN can play in helping adult nicotine users stay engaged in those moments, "When It Clicks" celebrates the feeling of being in sync, when effort, timing, and confidence come together. The campaign, which aligns with PMI U.S.'s approach to responsible marketing, spans point of sale, digital, out-of-home, and live cultural events, connecting ZYN to everyday scenes where adult nicotine users want to be more present."At its core, 'When It Clicks' is built on both a product and an emotional truth," said Seth Kaufman, Chief Commercial Officer at PMI U.S. "For adult nicotine consumers, it's about having a way to stay engaged in the moment without missing what's happening around them. This campaign shines a light on those moments when everything clicks into place and adults can fully immerse themselves in the experiences that matter most."A key visual device in the campaign is the use of brackets ("( )") to highlight moments when things 'click.' Together with the distinctive sound and the "When It Clicks" tagline, these elements create a flexible creative system for storytelling, experiences, and culture.Following a soft launch this summer, PMI U.S. will bring "When It Clicks" to full national scale in the fourth quarter of 2026 through trade and consumer programming designed for legal-age adult nicotine consumers. Grounded in insights that these consumers are navigating attention overload, social friction, and a constant pull to be everywhere at once, the platform speaks to moments when they want to be more present without stepping away from the experiences around them. The platform will debut to retail trade partners and distributors at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show in early October, followed by consumer-facing engagements that bring the "click" to life in culture, from music and entertainment to sport and art.ZYN will also release limited-edition metal ZYN cases showcasing original artwork from a curated group of American and U.S.-based artists with each design capturing the spirit of creativity. Available for purchase beginning in Q4, these cases are accessories only and do not contain nicotine pouches. The American Art Series extends the "When It Clicks" platform beyond traditional advertising, connecting ZYN's signature idea to moments of inspiration, artistry, and national celebration.PMI U.S. will continue to expand the platform in 2027 with activations for adult nicotine consumers across multiple channels. The campaign aims to connect the "click" to the sounds, experiences, and passions shaping modern culture, reaching new adult nicotine consumer communities and occasions as it evolves.Editor's Note
At PMI U.S., we are deeply committed to preventing access to nicotine products by individuals under the age of 21. No one below the legal age should use nicotine in any form. Nicotine products are addictive and not risk-free. ZYN products are intended for adults 21+ who currently use nicotine products. PMI U.S.'s responsible marketing practices include, but are not limited to, publishing advertising that features only individuals aged 35 or older, requiring third-party age verification (21+) on branded websites, limiting our owned social media presence to platforms with age-gated controls, not engaging in product placement in movies or television, and investing in technologies to further restrict access to nicotine products by those under 21.PMI U.S.: Invested in America
Philip Morris International Inc.'s U.S. businesses are invested in America's future and advancing a smoke-free nation. The businesses are committed to providing the approximately 25 million legal-age consumers who smoke cigarettes with better, smoke-free alternatives and to ensuring the products are marketed responsibly. From PMI's global headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and other locations nationwide, PMI U.S. contributes leadership, jobs, investment, and innovation in the U.S. The U.S. businesses employ more than 3,000 people across America and operate product manufacturing facilities, including in Aurora, Colorado, Owensboro, Kentucky, and Wilson, North Carolina.

FDA Authorizes ZYN ULTRA Nicotine Pouches Following Scientific ReviewAugust 21, 2026 3:11 PM
Business Wire Authorizations add selection of ZYN ULTRA products to PMI U.S.’s growing portfolio of better alternatives for legal-age adults who smoke or use traditional oral tobacco products Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today announces that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Marketing Granted Orders to PMI’s U.S. affiliate, Swedish Match USA, Inc., authorizing the marketing of 11 ZYN ULTRA moist oral nicotine pouch products, including all 9mg variants and one 11mg variant. Additional 11mg variants remain under scientific review. Today’s action further enhances PMI’s leadership role in the smoke-free category. “We are delighted with the FDA’s decision to authorize a range of ZYN ULTRA products, which will build on ZYN’s position as America’s leading smoke-free product brand,” said Stacey Kennedy, PMI U.S. CEO. “We look forward to expanding our portfolio of better choices for the 45 million Americans who consume nicotine products.” ZYN ULTRA positions the brand to further extend its category leadership among legal-age consumers of nicotine products. Like the flagship FDA-authorized ZYN pouches, ZYN ULTRA, with its higher moisture content, is free of tobacco-leaf. Today’s decisions build on the FDA’s earlier authorizations of ZYN in multiple flavors and both 3mg and 6 mg variants. ZYN was the first nicotine pouch authorized for sale in the United States following rigorous scientific review. PMI leads the industry in securing FDA authorizations, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and science-based regulation. These authorizations underscore PMI U.S.’s commitment to innovation and responsible marketing practices to adults aged 21+, as the company works to offer alternatives that are a much better choice than continuing to smoke. The FDA authorized the following products in 9 mg nicotine concentrations: ZYN ULTRA Smooth (commercialized as Signature Smooth) ZYN ULTRA Cool Mint (commercialized as Arctic Mint) ZYN ULTRA Spearmint (commercialized as Fresh Spearmint) ZYN ULTRA Wintergreen (commercialized as Wintergreen Blast) ZYN ULTRA Peppermint (commercialized as Peppermint Frost) ZYN ULTRA Citrus (commercialized as Citrus Zest) ZYN ULTRA Chill (commercialized as Chill Mist) ZYN ULTRA Menthol (commercialized as Menthol Ice) ZYN ULTRA Deep Freeze ZYN ULTRA Wintergreen Chill The FDA authorized the following product in 11mg nicotine concentration: ZYN ULTRA Smooth (commercialized as Signature Smooth) EDITOR’S NOTE From the FDA Granted Order: “Based on our review of your PMTAs, we determined that permitting the marketing of the new tobacco products, as described in your applications and specified in Appendix A, are appropriate for the protection of public health.” Pre-market applications for other ZYN ULTRA 11mg variants remain under scientific review at FDA. Today’s news follows a series of recent FDA actions involving PMI’s smoke-free portfolio, including modified risk tobacco product orders for certain previously authorized ZYN nicotine pouches. PMI U.S. began commercialization of ZYN ULTRA in June 2026 under recent FDA guidance.

Philip Morris expands Colorado Zyn investment to $1.2 billionJuly 27, 2026 9:30 AM
IH Market News Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:PM) is significantly increasing its investment in U.S. nicotine pouch production, announcing plans to commit $1.2 billion to its manufacturing facility in Aurora, Colorado, by 2028. The revised investment doubles the $600 million the company pledged in 2024 and reflects growing demand for smoke-free nicotine products. Zyn production ramps up amid rising competition The Aurora facility, located just outside Denver, has recently begun manufacturing operations and will play a key role in expanding production of Zyn nicotine pouches. Philip Morris is strengthening its manufacturing footprint as competition intensifies in the nicotine pouch market, where rival products such as British American Tobacco Plc’s Velo Plus are seeking to gain market share. Smoke-free products remain a strategic priority Zyn has become a cornerstone of Philip Morris’ strategy to reduce its reliance on traditional cigarettes as consumers increasingly shift toward smoke-free alternatives. Although the brand continues to lead the nicotine pouch segment, new products entering the market have increased competitive pressure. The expanded Colorado facility will support higher production volumes of Zyn Ultra, the latest version of the product introduced in the United States in June. New product designed for evolving consumer preferences Zyn Ultra offers a softer pouch design and higher nicotine strength, features intended to meet changing consumer demand. It is the first major update to the Zyn product line since the original version was introduced a decade ago, with Philip Morris delaying new product launches while awaiting approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Beyond supplying the U.S. market, the Aurora manufacturing campus will also produce Zyn products for export to customers across Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, supporting the company’s broader international expansion plans.

Philip Morris shares edge lower despite second-quarter earnings beat and record revenue (NYSE:PM)July 22, 2026 8:51 AM
IH Market News Strong quarterly results overshadowed by softer third-quarter outlook Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:PM) reported better-than-expected second-quarter 2026 results on Wednesday, but investors focused on weaker-than-anticipated third-quarter earnings guidance, sending the stock modestly lower. The tobacco company posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.20, comfortably ahead of the analyst consensus estimate of $2.03. Revenue reached a record $11.2 billion, exceeding Wall Street expectations of $10.6 billion and increasing 10.4% from the same period last year. Despite the earnings beat, shares edged lower after management forecast third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of between $2.20 and $2.25. The midpoint of $2.225 fell below the analyst consensus estimate of $2.43. Smoke-free products continue to drive growth “We delivered outstanding results in the second quarter, driving net revenues to over $11 billion for the first time with excellent growth across all headline metrics,” said Jacek Olczak, Group CEO. The company’s smoke-free business remained its primary growth engine, with revenue increasing 11.7% year over year. Revenue from combustible tobacco products also advanced 9.5%, contributing to the company’s record quarterly sales. Adjusted earnings per share rose 15.2% from $1.91 in the second quarter of 2025, or 13.6% excluding a favourable three-cent currency benefit. Reported diluted earnings per share declined 7.7% to $1.80 after Philip Morris recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $511 million related to its RBH equity investment. IQOS and smoke-free volumes remain strong Total shipment volume increased 2.5% during the quarter, supported by a 7.5% increase in smoke-free product shipments. The international smoke-free segment delivered revenue growth of 14.2%, driven by 8.0% volume growth. IQOS heat-not-burn products continued to lead the category, although the company noted softer market conditions in Japan and Poland. Full-year outlook maintained Philip Morris reaffirmed its full-year 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of $8.26 to $8.41 per share, representing growth of 9.5% to 11.5% compared with 2025. Excluding currency movements, the company expects adjusted earnings growth of 7.5% to 9.5%. Management also updated its estimated currency benefit for the year to $0.15 per share, down from the previous forecast of $0.20. The company continues to expect organic net revenue growth of 5% to 7% and organic operating income growth of 7% to 9% for the full year.

Philip Morris International Reports 2026 Second-Quarter & First Six-Months Results and Updates 2026 Full-Year Adjusted Diluted EPS Forecast for Currency Only;July 22, 2026 6:59 AM
Business Wire Second-Quarter Reported Diluted EPS declined by 7.7% to $1.80; Adjusted Diluted EPS grew by 15.2% to $2.20; and by 13.6% excluding currency; Regulatory News: Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) today announces its 2026 second quarter results.1 "We delivered outstanding results in the second quarter, driving net revenues to over $11 billion for the first time with excellent growth across all headline metrics," said Jacek Olczak, Group CEO PMI. "With a robust first half under our belt, including continued momentum and strong results in our smoke-free business, we are well positioned to deliver on our full-year targets while investing for future growth." _________________________ 1 Explanation of PMI's use of non-GAAP measures cited in this document and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures can be found in the “Non-GAAP Measures, Glossary and Explanatory Notes” section of this release, in Exhibit 99.2 to the company's Form 8-K dated July 22, 2026, and here. Results Highlights - Second Quarter 2026 Shipments increased by 2.5% in the quarter, driven by a 7.5% increase in smoke-free mainly due to IQOS and complemented by a resilient combustible segment, notably in markets where SFPs are banned or have a limited market presence. Net revenues increased by 10.4% (7.6% organically) to $11.2 billion, with both the smoke-free (up by 11.7%, 9.7% organically) and combustibles (up by 9.5%, 6.1% organically) businesses contributing positively. Our smoke-free business accounted for approximately 42% of total net revenues (up by 0.5pp vs. Q2 last year) with PMI smoke-free products (SFP) now available in 109 markets. Gross profit increased by 11.5% (8.7% organically), expanding gross margins through strong pricing, scale and SFP mix benefits. Operating income increased by 22.0% (10.7% organically). Reported diluted EPS of $1.80 was unfavorably impacted by the non-cash impairment of the RBH equity investment. Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.20 grew by 15.2%, or by 13.6% excluding a 3 cent favorable currency impact, which was above prior expectations primarily due to transactional effects. International Smoke-Free Segment Group performance continued to be driven by the international smoke-free business, with net revenue growth of 14.2% (11.8% organically) fueled by 8.0% volume growth. Gross profit growth of 17.1% (14.6% organically) reflects the increasing profitability of our portfolio. IQOS remains the primary growth engine, notwithstanding expected transient headwinds in Japan and Poland. Heat-not-burn SFP: IQOS continued to lead the growth of the global category, in which PMI holds around three-quarters volume share. IQOS gained 0.2pp to reach 9.2% of combined cigarette and HTU industry volumes in markets where present, and grew shipment volumes by 7.6%. HTU adjusted in-market sales (IMS) volume grew by 5.1%, reflecting broad-based growth notwithstanding the expected pantry de-loading and initial consumer adjustment following the April 1 excise-driven price increase in Japan, and the impact of the characterizing flavor ban in Poland. Excluding Japan and Poland, adjusted IMS grew by 10%. In Japan, while PMI HTU adjusted IMS declined by an estimated 3.4%, it grew by 1.0% excluding the estimated pantry de-loading impact, broadly in-line with our expectations as consumers adjusted following our excise-driven price increase, which was the largest in the industry. IQOS maintained a strong category share, exiting the quarter with 68% in June, with SENTIA playing a key role in capturing price sensitive TEREA consumers. In Europe, IQOS HTU adjusted IMS grew by an estimated 5.1% and IQOS HTU adjusted market share increased by 1.0pp to 11.8%, notwithstanding ongoing disruptions in Ukraine and the impact of the characterizing flavor ban in Poland. This growth was led by strong performance in many markets, notably Germany, Romania, Greece and Spain. Adjusted IMS in Italy continued its strong trajectory (up by 10.8%), underscoring the category's significant potential across the region. Excluding markets where the characterizing flavor ban became effective in the last year, adjusted IMS volumes grew by around 8%. Outside Europe and Japan, adjusted IMS grew by 14.4% and offtake share increased in key cities across the globe, including Mexico City, Jakarta, Riyadh, Kuala Lumpur and Taipei. We continue to make progress in unlocking new markets, including Argentina which introduced legislation regulating the commercialization and sale of the heat-not-burn category in May. Oral SFP: Robust modern oral volume growth of 14.7% (26.3% excluding the Nordics) to 0.6 billion pouches was more than offset by continued declines in the legacy snus business in the Nordics, resulting in a total oral SFP volume decrease of 7.0%. We continue to expand into new geographies, with ZYN now available in 60 markets and strongly growing volumes in key opportunity markets such as Pakistan, Poland and the UK. Our focus remains on introducing the segment to legal-age smokers with a relevant product portfolio, including a range of nicotine strengths and adult-appropriate flavors that meet consumer expectations. E-vapor SFP: We are delivering increasingly profitable growth in VEEV, with quarterly shipments up by 55.1%. VEEV now holds the clear #1 closed pod position in Europe, with continued strong growth across a range of markets, notably Germany, Romania and Greece. PMI remains committed to building and commercializing the brand in a focused, responsible and profitable manner, leveraging its key role as part of our multicategory portfolio. International Combustibles Segment Cigarette volume increased by 1.1%, with growth in markets such as Turkey, Indonesia and Egypt outweighing declines in other markets. Net revenues grew by 9.8% (6.4% organically) driven by an exceptional quarter of 10.0% pricing, partly offset by geographic mix. Gross profit grew by 11.5% (8.0% organically). Our cigarette category volume share stood at 25.3% (flat vs. prior year) despite adverse market mix. Marlboro continued to gain share (up by 0.3pp) matching its record category share of 11.0%. U.S. Segment In the U.S., we delivered a significant sequential improvement in both net revenues and adjusted gross profit compared to a challenging first quarter, with a 0.7% year-on-year net revenue decline (down 0.9% organically) composed of a broadly stable top-line for ZYN, declines in cigars, and an unfavorable phasing dynamic in Wellness. ZYN offtake volumes were flat to slightly growing versus the prior year in a growing category, largely as a result of the uneven competitive landscape. ZYN shipments increased by 1.8% to 2.9 billion pouches, despite an inventory tailwind in Q2 2025. In June, we expanded the ZYN portfolio with the first shipments of ZYN ULTRA (9mg and 11mg moist variants at a lower price-per-pouch), as well as additional flavors within the ZYN dry flagship lineup. These launches are an important step in enhancing the portfolio and optimizing ZYN's price premium, ensuring ZYN can effectively play in the most dynamic growing segments of the category. We plan to continue expanding the ZYN lineup with the launch of 1.5mg and 8mg dry variants in the third quarter. To support the newly expanded ZYN portfolio, we intend to accelerate U.S. investments in the second half to maximize the long-term value of the brand and also prepare for the future launch of IQOS ILUMA. On June 30, the FDA granted MRTP authorization to 20 variants in the flagship ZYN range, the first and only for a nicotine pouch product. This serves as another example of the robust science behind our products and their potential to reduce the harm caused by smoking.

While we have observed increased energy prices and some disruption in energy supply in a number of markets, it has not yet resulted in a discernible shift in consumer behavior. The situation remains volatile, and it is difficult to assess the broader long term implications for the consumer or the global cost environment. In our full-year forecast we do not assume a prolonged impact, however we have factored in some increases in transport, energy and other input costs. We will continue to closely monitor developments to assess the mid-to-long term consequences. Non-Cash Impairment of RBH Equity Investment In May 2026, pursuant to its obligation under its court-approved plan of compromise and arrangement ("Plan"), PMI's deconsolidated Canadian affiliate, RBH, provided an annual business plan to its Plan Administrator containing updated five-year financial projections reflecting current industry dynamics. As a result, PMI determined that the estimated fair value of its investment in RBH was lower than its carrying value and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $511 million in the second quarter of 2026, representing 33 cents of diluted EPS. RBH remains deconsolidated from the PMI group, with a remaining carrying value of $51 million as of June 30. 2026 Full-Year Forecast     2026 Forecast   2025   Growth                       Reported Diluted EPS   $7.19 - $7.34   $ 7.26         Adjustments                     Amortization of intangibles   0.50   0.50         Fair value adjustment for equity security investments   0.16   (0.18)         Restructuring charges   0.03   0.14         Income tax impact associated with Swedish Match AB financing   0.06   (0.25)         Impairment related to the RBH equity investment   0.33   —         Egypt sales tax settlement adjustment   (0.01)   —         Other 2025 adjustments(1)   –   0.07         Total Adjustments   1.07   0.28         Adjusted Diluted EPS   $8.26 - $8.41   $ 7.54   9.5% - 11.5% Less: Currency   0.15             Adjusted Diluted EPS, excluding currency   $8.11 - $8.26   $ 7.54   7.5% - 9.5% (1) Includes: $0.10 Germany excise tax classification litigation charge; ($0.10) RBH (Canada) Plan Implementation, including dividend income, net; $0.09 Impairment of Wellness business related equity investment; $0.06 Loss on expected sale of consumer accessories and other businesses; $0.03 Impairment of goodwill; ($0.11) Tax items Reported diluted EPS is forecast to be in a range of $7.19 to $7.34, at prevailing exchange rates. Excluding a total 2026 adjustment of $1.07 per share, this forecast represents a projected increase of 9.5% to 11.5% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $7.54 in 2025. This includes a favorable currency impact of $0.15, at prevailing exchange rates (previously $0.20), as versus our previous forecast the benefit of transactional gains in the second quarter are more than offset by translational effects of the strengthening U.S. dollar. Excluding currency, this forecast represents a projected increase of 7.5% to 9.5% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $7.54 in 2025, as outlined in the above table. 2026 Full-Year Forecast Assumptions Broadly stable to slightly growing (previously broadly stable) total PMI cigarette and SFP shipment volume, with high-single digit SFP shipment volume growth, and a cigarette shipment volume decline of 2% to 3% (previously around 3%); Net revenue growth of 5% to 7% on an organic basis; Organic operating income growth of 7% to 9%; Full-year amortization of acquired intangibles of $0.50 per share; Broadly stable net financing costs; An effective tax rate, excluding discrete tax events, of around 21.5%; Operating cash flow around $13.5 billion at prevailing exchange rates, subject to year-end working capital requirements; Capital expenditures of $1.4 to $1.6 billion, predominantly supporting the smoke-free business; Further net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improvement as we target a ratio of close to 2.0x by the end of 2026, at prevailing exchange rates; No share repurchases; and Third quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $2.20 to $2.25, including an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 8 cents at prevailing exchange rates. Factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections.

Total PMI Estimated industry volume (excluding China and the U.S.) for cigarettes and HTUs increased by 0.8%. Net revenues increased by 7.6% organically, mainly reflecting: a favorable pricing variance mainly driven by international combustibles; supported by favorable volume/mix, driven by international smoke-free volumes, notwithstanding adverse international combustibles mix. Operating income increased by 10.7% on an organic basis, largely reflecting the same factors as for net revenues. International Smoke-Free Segment Shipment volume grew by 8.0%, with broad based growth across markets, notably Taiwan, Romania, and Greece. Net revenues increased by 11.8% on an organic basis, reflecting: a favorable volume/mix driven by higher HTU and e-vapor volumes and a favorable pricing variance due to HTUs. Gross profit increased by 14.6% organically mainly due to the same factors as for net revenues. International Combustibles Segment Shipment volume grew by 1.1% with notable increases in Turkey, Indonesia, and Egypt. Net revenues increased by 6.4% on an organic basis, reflecting: a favorable pricing variance, partially offset by unfavorable mix as growth in developing economies more than offset declines in Europe. Gross profit increased by 8.0% organically due to the same factors as for net revenues. U.S. Segment Net revenues slightly decreased by 0.9% organically, primarily reflecting: broadly stable ZYN revenues, declines in the cigar business, and unfavorable phasing dynamics in Wellness.

Total PMI Estimated industry volume (excluding China and the U.S.) for cigarettes and HTUs declined by 0.4%. Net revenues increased by 5.3% organically, mainly reflecting: a favorable pricing variance mainly driven by international combustibles; partly offset by unfavorable volume/mix, mainly driven by lower international combustibles and U.S. volumes, notwithstanding higher international smoke-free volumes. Operating income increased by 6.1% on an organic basis, reflecting the same factors as for net revenues, partially offset by higher marketing, administration and research costs. International Smoke-Free Segment Shipment volume grew by 9.9%, notably due to Taiwan, Italy, and Global Travel Retail. Net revenues increased by 13.7% on an organic basis, reflecting: a favorable volume/mix driven by higher HTU and e-vapor volumes and a favorable pricing variance due to higher HTU pricing. Gross profit increased by 16.9% organically mainly due to the same factors as for net revenues International Combustibles Segment Shipment volume declined by 1.9% with notable decreases in Russia, Mexico, and Germany. Net revenues increased by 3.8% on an organic basis, reflecting: an unfavorable volume/mix; more than offset by a favorable pricing variance. Gross profit increased by 6.1% organically due to the same factors as for net revenues. U.S. Segment Net revenues decreased by 16.5% organically, reflecting: unfavorable dynamics in the first quarter with ZYN volumes impacted by distributor and trade inventory movements and an unfavorable price comparison due to low levels of ZYN promotional activity in the prior year. Gross profit decreased by 27.5% on an organic basis reflecting the same factors as for net revenues and higher manufacturing costs. Adjusted OCI decreased by 50.2% organically, to $379 million, reflecting the same factors as for gross profit and increased investments in marketing, administration and research costs.

Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in 109 markets as of June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2025 PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for approximately 42% of PMI’s second-quarter 2026 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke or use other nicotine-containing consumer products, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables, General snus and 20 ZYN nicotine pouch variants also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements This release contains projections of future results and goals and other forward-looking statements, including statements regarding expected financial or operational performance; capital allocation plans; investment strategies; regulatory outcomes; market expectations; business plans and strategies. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. In the event that risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, PMI is identifying important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by PMI. PMI's business risks include: marketing and regulatory restrictions that could reduce our competitiveness, disrupt our SFP commercialization efforts, eliminate our ability to communicate with adult consumers, or ban certain of our products in certain markets or countries; excise tax increases and discriminatory tax structures; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products; litigation related to tobacco and/or nicotine products and intellectual property rights; intense competition; inability to anticipate changes in adult consumer preferences; use and reliance on third-parties; the adverse effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; geopolitical instability; the impact and consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; continued decline of tax-paid cigarettes; lost revenues as a result of counterfeiting, contraband and cross-border purchases; governmental investigations; unfavorable currency exchange rates and currency devaluations, sustained periods of elevated inflation, and limitations on the ability to repatriate funds; adverse changes in applicable corporate tax laws; disruptions in the credit markets or changes to its credit ratings; recent and potential future tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries; adverse changes in the cost, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as product components for its electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. PMI's future profitability may also be adversely affected should it be unsuccessful, in key markets or systemically, in its efforts to introduce, commercialize, and grow smoke-free products or if regulation or taxation do not differentiate between such products and cigarettes; if it is unable to successfully introduce new products, and promote brand equity; if there are prolonged disruptions of facilities used to produce its products; if it is unable to enter new markets or improve its margins through increased prices and productivity gains; if other market participants are more successful in their SFP commercialization efforts; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our smoke-free products performance. PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, which will be filed in the coming days. PMI cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not a complete discussion of all potential risks and uncertainties. PMI does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, except in the normal course of its public disclosure obligations. Non-GAAP Measures, Glossary and Explanatory Notes Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in this release to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures can be found in Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 8-K dated July 22, 2026, and here. A glossary of key terms, definitions and explanatory notes is available in the aforementioned Exhibit 99.2 and on the same webpage, where additional financial schedules, as well as adjustments and other calculations have also been made available. Management reviews net revenues, gross profit, operating companies income, operating income, operating cash flow and earnings per share, or "EPS," on an adjusted basis, which may exclude the impact of currency and other items such as acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring costs, tax items and other adjusting items. Additionally, starting in 2022 and on a comparative basis, for these measures other than net revenues and operating cash flow, PMI includes adjustments to add back amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets that are recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to PMI’s revenue generation, as well as impairment of intangible assets, if any. While amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets is excluded in these adjusted measures, the net revenues generated from these acquired intangible assets are included in the company's adjusted measures, unless otherwise stated. Currency-neutral and organic growth rates reflect the way management views underlying performance for these measures. PMI believes that such measures provide useful insight into underlying business trends and results. Management reviews these measures because they exclude changes in currency exchange rates and other factors that may distort underlying business trends, thereby improving the comparability of PMI’s business performance between reporting periods. Furthermore, PMI uses several of these measures in its management compensation program to promote internal fairness and a disciplined assessment of performance against company targets. PMI discloses these measures to enable investors to view the business through the eyes of management. Non-GAAP measures used in this release should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FDA Issues Modified Risk Tobacco Product Orders for 20 ZYN Nicotine Pouch ProductsJune 30, 2026 12:19 PM
Business Wire FDA’s decision makes ZYN the first nicotine pouch product to receive MRTP orders authorizing reduced-risk claims versus cigarettes Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) orders for 20 variants of ZYN nicotine pouch products. These are the first MRTP orders granted for nicotine pouches, allowing PMI U.S. to market the following claim for the authorized ZYN products: “Using ZYN instead of cigarettes puts you at a lower risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.” “FDA’s decision is an important moment for the more than 45 million legal-age nicotine consumers in America,” said Stacey Kennedy, PMI U.S. CEO. “Today’s news ensures these adults have access to accurate, science-based information, including FDA-authorized evidence that switching from cigarettes to ZYN reduces the risk of smoking-related diseases like heart disease and lung cancer,” she added. “More broadly, it reinforces the agency’s science-based approach to evaluating products across the continuum of risk and communicating those findings transparently.” The FDA’s action highlights a stark contrast: in the U.S., nicotine products undergo detailed scientific review before being authorized, while in many countries policymakers opt for bans rather than careful evaluation. Products covered by the FDA’s MRTP orders include: ZYN Cool Mint 3 mg ZYN Cool Mint 6 mg ZYN Peppermint 3 mg ZYN Peppermint 6 mg ZYN Spearmint 3 mg ZYN Spearmint 6 mg ZYN Wintergreen 3 mg ZYN Wintergreen 6 mg ZYN Citrus 3 mg ZYN Citrus 6 mg ZYN Coffee 3 mg ZYN Coffee 6 mg ZYN Cinnamon 3 mg ZYN Cinnamon 6 mg ZYN Smooth 3 mg ZYN Smooth 6 mg ZYN Chill 3 mg ZYN Chill 6 mg ZYN Menthol 3 mg ZYN Menthol 6 mg In January 2025, ZYN was the first nicotine pouch authorized for sale in the United States following rigorous scientific review. With today’s decision, PMI holds MRTP authorizations for ZYN, the first nicotine pouch authorized by the FDA, versions of IQOS devices and consumables and eight General snus products, underscoring the company’s position as an industry leader and innovator. EDITOR’S NOTE FDA has authorized the ZYN MRTP claim, effective immediately. From the FDA Modified Risk Granted Order: “Based on our review of your MRTPAs, we determined that the proposed modified risk tobacco products, as described in your applications and specified in Appendix A, have satisfied the requirements of section 911(g)(1)(A) and (B), including that they, as actually used by consumers, would significantly reduce harm and the risk of tobacco-related disease to individual tobacco users and benefit the health of the population as a whole, taking into account both users of tobacco products and persons who do not currently use tobacco products. Therefore, we authorize marketing of the tobacco products as modified risk tobacco products with the following modified risk information: ‘Using ZYN instead of cigarettes puts you at a lower risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.’” Nicotine pouches, like ZYN, deliver nicotine through oral absorption and do not require the burning of tobacco, or inhaling of smoke. This significantly reduces exposure to harmful and potentially harmful chemicals compared to the use of combustible tobacco, such as cigarettes. In authorizing ZYN through the premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) pathway in January 2025, the FDA noted: “the agency’s evaluation showed that, due to substantially lower amounts of harmful constituents than cigarettes and most smokeless tobacco products, such as moist snuff and snus, the authorized products [ZYN] pose lower risk of cancer and other serious health conditions than such products. The applicant also provided evidence from a study showing that a substantial proportion of adults who use cigarette and/or smokeless tobacco products completely switched to the newly authorized nicotine pouch products.” When reviewing the ZYN applications, FDA considered extensive data showing that some adults who smoke and have started using ZYN products have reduced their cigarette use over time, with over half of those surveyed reporting no cigarette consumption in the past 30 days. Of those who continue to smoke cigarettes after starting to use ZYN products, the majority (80.7%) reduced their cigarette consumption, and over half (57.2%) reduced their cigarettes per day by more than 50%.

Americans Are Losing Patience with Innovation That Doesn't Make Life Better, New Poll from PMI U.S. FindsJune 30, 2026 7:02 AM
PR Newswire (US) Nearly 8 in 10 Americans surveyed say the country is innovating in the wrong areas, while 86% say the most meaningful innovations are not the headline makers but those that solve problems ordinary people face every day.STAMFORD, Conn., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans are not losing faith in innovation. They are losing patience with innovation that asks for applause before it delivers proof. A new nationwide survey from Philip Morris International's U.S. businesses (PMI U.S.) finds that Americans still believe innovation can help build a better future—but only if it makes life more affordable, safer, healthier, or easier to navigate in the communities where people live. Innovation has long been a driver of America's economic growth, prosperity, and opportunity. As a company rooted in science and technology, PMI U.S. commissioned The Harris Poll to conduct this research to better understand Americans' expectations of innovation and where they believe it can make the greatest difference in their daily lives. The findings reveal a growing credibility challenge for companies: while 76% of Americans surveyed say innovation will play a major role in building the nation's future, 81% say corporate rhetoric about innovation often feels disconnected from real-world problems, and nearly 8 in 10 (79%) believe the country is innovating in the wrong areas. The message is clear: Americans still believe in the power of innovation, but they want it focused on solving tangible problems and delivering meaningful benefits in their communities."Americans are not rejecting innovation. They are rejecting innovation that feels detached from their lives," said Stacey Kennedy, CEO, PMI U.S. "Companies need to show that what they are building solves real problems, serves real people, and strengthens real communities. That is the standard PMI U.S. is working to meet."The findings suggest that innovation has a permission problem. More than three-quarters of respondents (77%) agree that too much innovation today feels designed for hype rather than impact. Nearly 9 in 10 (86%) say the most meaningful innovation solves real-world problems people face every day, and 89% say they are more likely to believe a company's innovation claims when they can see tangible benefits at the local level. In short: Novelty is not enough. Americans want usefulness they can see.The survey also shows where trust still lives: close to home. Americans are more confident in the direction their local communities are taking (58%) than in where the country as a whole is headed (43%). When respondents were asked what gives them confidence in the country's future, "everyday people in local communities" (65%), "local businesses and entrepreneurs" (61%), and "local nonprofits and community organizations" (59%) outranked large corporations (44%) and the federal government (41%). These results seem to suggest that the more distance from one's community, the less confidence Americans have in that institution.The higher confidence in locally grown solutions comes with a warning for companies: Do not arrive as the hero. Nine in 10 Americans (90%) say companies should act as partners rather than presume they have all the answers. Communities are looking for long-term commitment from their partners (91%), connection with other communities solving similar problems (91%), investment (89%), access to tools and expertise (88%), and platforms that amplify ideas already creating progress (88%). The takeaway is that they do not need more corporate theater. They need help making what works go further.The mismatch between expectations and reality is especially stark in where Americans believe companies are placing their bets. Respondents see companies pouring attention and resources into AI and machine learning, apps and software, and space or moonshot projects. They want more focus on the problems that show up in the family budget: reducing the cost of everyday life, making healthcare more accessible, creating good-paying local jobs, making housing more affordable, improving schools, making neighborhoods safer, supporting small businesses, and helping communities become more resilient.The research also cuts through the usual story that Americans cannot agree on anything. They can. Healthcare affordability, housing affordability, and good-paying jobs that do not require a four-year degree rank as the top priorities Americans want innovation to address, followed by schools, trust in institutions, infrastructure, small businesses, resilience, and more equitable access to innovation. The divide is not over what hurts. It is over whether institutions are serious about fixing it.Across the 10 cities included in the survey—Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, and Stamford—the findings point to another uncomfortable truth: There is no single national innovation story that works everywhere. Residents consistently identified practical progress, local problem-solving, and community-led opportunity as signs of meaningful innovation. The strongest story is not a slogan pushed from the center. It is proof, adapted market by market, that people can recognize as real.The city-level findings show how sharply the innovation story changes by market. Stamford is the confident market, with 71% saying innovation in America is thriving and moving in the right direction, compared with 62% nationally. Nashville is a proof-demanding market, with 85% saying America is innovating in the wrong areas and solving the wrong problems for the wrong people. Chicago is the community-potential market, with 92% saying the next big American idea could come from any community, not just a traditional innovation hub. Phoenix puts affordability at the center of the innovation test, while Los Angeles shows that even markets associated with creativity and technology still need clearer local proof, coordination, and amplification.Market patternCitiesWhat it showsKey dataWhere the Innovation Story SplitsChicago, Nashville, StamfordThese markets show the sharpest differences in what residents need from innovation: proof that it is aimed at the right problems, evidence that confidence is warranted, or belief that the next big idea can come from any community.Chicago: 92% say the next big American idea could come from any community.Nashville: 85% say America is innovating in the wrong areas.

Houston: 86% say meaningful innovation solves everyday problems.
Los Angeles: 91% say communities need platforms that surface what is already working.Phoenix: 88% say communities need funding and investment to turn good ideas into real progress. For PMI U.S., the findings reinforce that innovation should be measured by real-world impact. By advancing modern nicotine alternatives to help legal-age adults move away from combustible cigarettes, creating meaningful partnerships within communities, and investing in American manufacturing, operations, and jobs, PMI U.S. is promoting progress nationwide as it builds its future in the United States.Since 2022, PMI U.S. has invested more than $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing, operational capabilities, and people costs. PMI U.S. employs more than 3,300 people across the country, and operates manufacturing facilities in Colorado, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Those investments reflect that the business is holding the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of its modern nicotine products to the same proof standard Americans are applying to innovation more broadly: prioritizing better choices, economic contribution, responsible practices, and tangible community impact.Read more about the survey and register for the forthcoming whitepaper here: https://www.uspmi.com/en/america250/Survey Methodology
The Harris Poll was conducted online on behalf of PMI U.S. between May 19 and June 2, 2026. The survey sample consisted of 2,000 U.S. adults aged 21 and older.

Philip Morris International and Maestro Andrea Bocelli Present “Believe. Further”June 29, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire A new platform for dialogue on progress, reflecting a mutual commitment to advancing positive change Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) and Maestro Andrea Bocelli today presented “Believe. Further”, a multi-year platform designed to engage audiences in a broader conversation on progress and positive change. The launch took place at the Torre dell’Arsenale in Venice, where heritage and forward movement meet, a fitting setting for two voices on a similar path. What do you do when the world has already decided what you are? “Believe. Further” begins from that question. It is built around a shared belief in progress and a shared conviction in transformation. At a time when science and technology allow better choices, it brings together two voices that, independently and in parallel, are undergoing a change in motion, and invites the beginning of a different conversation with society at large. Maestro Bocelli’s journey has been defined by belief. From the beginnings of his career to the world’s most prestigious stages, he has followed a path shaped by conviction and the courage to go beyond what the world believed he could be. The evolution of Philip Morris International reflects the same structure, driven by early decisions, sustained commitment and the discipline to deliver change over time. Today, that transformation is measurable: smoke-free products account for 43% of PMI’s net revenues and reach consumers in over 105 markets worldwide as of first-quarter 2026. “We committed to transform our business, replacing cigarettes with better alternatives because it was the right thing to do and because we could. There was no Plan B,” said Massimo Andolina, President Europe Region, Philip Morris International. “Today, we launch our partnership with Andrea Bocelli in Venice, the city of bridges, to raise awareness of what technology and innovation can make possible and showing that this progress is already real.” “I have always believed in the importance of staying true to one’s values and embracing each step of the journey, learning along the way,” said Maestro Andrea Bocelli. “We must consider possible even what may seem impossible, when it helps improve lives and advance human progress.” Designed to engage cultural, institutional and business audiences across Europe, “Believe. Further” will evolve over time, expanding its reach as the conversation around progress continues. It reflects a shared approach towards the future, and a shared belief that progress matters and is the only direction worth choosing. Media Information: www.believefurther.com Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch, and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 105 markets, and as of December 31, 2025, PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for 43% of PMI’s first-quarter 2026 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables and General snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas.

About Maestro Andrea Bocelli Maestro Andrea Bocelli is one of the most celebrated tenors in the world, recognized globally for his distinctive voice, artistic range, and ability to connect audiences across cultures and generations. Born in Lajatico, Tuscany, Andrea Bocelli is an Italian tenor celebrated worldwide for his singular ability to bridge the worlds of opera and popular music. Over a career spanning four decades, he has sold more than 90 million records and generated over 16 billion streams - figures that place him among the most listened to classical artists in recorded history. His journey reflects a path shaped by choice, discipline, and a deep commitment to his craft. He studied law at the University of Pisa, qualified as an attorney, and only then followed the deeper call of music - training under the great tenor Franco Corelli and building, note by note, one of the most distinctive voices of his generation. His reach extends far beyond the concert hall. He has performed at the coronation of King Charles III, sung at the 75th anniversary of the Italian Constitution before the President of Italy, and brought his voice to audiences across five continents. He performed at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan - a moment that placed him, once again, at the center of global culture. In 2011, Bocelli and his family established the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, whose mission is to empower people and communities facing poverty, illness, and social exclusion - giving expression to the belief that we can do much alone, but far more together. It is this conviction - that art carries responsibility, that beauty has a duty, and that progress is not measured in records sold but in lives touched - that makes Maestro Bocelli a natural and defining voice in this initiative.

The WSJ Leadership Institute Names Philip Morris International Among “Best Companies For the Future”June 26, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire The ranking recognizes companies best positioned to thrive amid AI-driven and structural economic change Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) has been named in the WSJ Leadership Institute’s inaugural “Best Companies for the Future” ranking, which evaluates large corporations on their ability to adapt and succeed in a rapidly evolving global environment. PMI ranks at #97 overall and is the third highest ranked company in the Food Beverage & Tobacco industry group after Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. Compiled by Bendable Labs for the WSJ Leadership Institute, a premium executive learning and leadership program from Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal, the ranking assesses companies across six key dimensions - AI readiness, innovation, talent readiness, financial fitness, resilience, and agility - to identify those that are best positioned for long-term success. PMI’s inclusion reflects the reality that today it is a leading international consumer goods company, focused on a smoke-free future that is underpinned by sustained investment in science, innovation, and evolved organizational capabilities. “Being recognized as one of the ‘Best Companies for the Future’ underscores our commitment to reinventing PMI and delivering long-term value,” said Jacek Olczak, Group CEO. “Our progress toward a smoke-free future is driven by innovation, powered by our people, and grounded in a clear strategy to adapt to changing consumer preferences, technologies, and societal expectations.” The inaugural ranking evaluates companies from the S&P 500 using a data-driven methodology based on 30 indicators from multiple external providers, focusing on how organizations integrate emerging technologies, strengthen their workforce, and build resilience in a changing marketplace. PMI continues to make measurable progress in its business evolution, expanding access to smoke-free alternatives while evolving its model and capabilities to meet the demands of a rapidly shifting global landscape. Most recently, the company’s flagship heating tobacco product IQOS was listed among Kantar’s BrandZ 2026 Most Valuable Global Brands, solidifying its global momentum for adult nicotine consumers seeking better alternatives to cigarettes.

Business Wire The appointments strengthen the company’s leadership pipeline as it moves towards a smoke-free future Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) announced a series of regional leadership appointments that support its ongoing shift toward a smoke-free future. Effective August 1, 2026, Marco Hannappel has been appointed President, Europe Region, and Can Kuterdem has been appointed President, Latin America & Canada Region. These appointments build on PMI’s evolved organizational model announced in late 2025, under which Gijs de Best serves as President, South Asia, Indochina, CIS & Middle East & Africa Region, and Vassilis Gkatzelis continues as President East & Southeast Asia, Pacific and PMI Global Travel Retail Region. The four regional presidents report to Frederic de Wilde - CEO of the International Business Unit of PMI and are the key operational leaders for the unit that generates the large majority of total PMI net revenues.

Previously, he served as Vice President Strategy & Program Delivery, Europe Region, where he played a central role in shaping the regional strategy and leading a more integrated approach to execution of business-critical initiatives across markets.

Counterfeit Cigarettes Drive EU Illicit Market Above 10% for First Time Since 2014June 3, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire Illicit cigarettes reached 10.3% of EU consumption in 2025 (41.8 billion), with an estimated €16.7 billion in lost tax revenues Counterfeits now lead the illicit market - accounting for 44% of EU illicit consumption (18.3 billion), up sharply year-on-year and displacing traditional East-to-West contraband flows Western Europe has the highest levels of illicit consumption, with France (41.4%), Belgium (24.8%), and the Netherlands (22.1%) among the most impacted. In France alone, counterfeit volumes reached nearly 10 billion cigarettes A new study detailing the scale of the illicit cigarette trade in the European Union (EU) shows that consumption of black-market cigarettes rose more than 7% year-on-year in 2025, reaching levels not seen in over a decade, with counterfeit cigarettes playing an increasingly significant role across member states. Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) reiterates its call for a coordinated response to illicit trade in Europe, built on evidence-based regulation and strengthened cooperation. According to the 20th edition of the study “Illicit cigarette and heated tobacco consumption, and oral nicotine share in Europe”, which was conducted by KPMG LLP on behalf of Philip Morris Products S.A., illicit cigarettes in the EU accounted for more than one in ten cigarettes for the first time since 2014. In 2025, illicit volumes reached 41.8 billion in the EU—representing 10.3% of total consumption—resulting in an estimated €16.7 billion in lost tax revenues. Across the 38 European countries included in the study, illicit consumption reached 55.3 billion cigarettes, corresponding to an estimated €22.4 billion in state budget revenue losses. A structural shift: from contraband flows to “closer-to-market” counterfeits The illicit market is undergoing a fundamental transformation: “Made in EU” counterfeit cigarettes are increasingly displacing traditional East-to-West contraband flows. Supply chains are becoming faster and harder to trace, and operations are moving closer to end consumers - especially in Western European countries such as France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, which are becoming central hubs for illicit tobacco and nicotine products. Counterfeits have become the largest source of illicit cigarettes in the EU, reaching 18.3 billion and accounting for 44% of total illicit consumption in 2025. Counterfeit volumes increased more than 20% year-on-year, highlighting organized crime’s ability to rapidly adapt production and distribution models to reduce detection risks. “The data is clear: counterfeits have become the primary engine of the illicit cigarette market in the EU, supported by criminal supply chains designed to bring fake products to consumers in high-value markets, undermining the European economy and fueling broader illicit activity,” said Christos Harpantidis, Group Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Philip Morris International. “It also underscores persistent structural vulnerabilities across regulation, enforcement, and judicial follow-through that create space for illicit trade to grow - at a time when many EU member states are under broader security and economic pressure, from inflation and competitiveness challenges to rising budget demands on security and defense due to geopolitical fragmentation. Closing these gaps in Europe requires coordinated action: stronger law enforcement, public-private cooperation and a focus on regulation that is balanced, evidence-based, and enforceable in practice,” Harpantidis added. Estimates show that Europe’s tobacco and nicotine value chain supports over 2.1 million jobs and generates €224 billion in value - comparable to the EU’s 17th largest economy. With nearly €24 billion in annual exports, it is a significant industrial ecosystem, yet increasingly affected by illicit trade amid economic uncertainty and need for competitiveness in Europe. Addressing this requires pragmatic, evidence-based regulation and stronger cooperation, while supporting investment and innovation in Europe. “Illicit trade is becoming more sophisticated, localized, and increasingly industrialized. It not only erodes legitimate business activity but also fuels criminal networks that operate with speed, scale, and impunity, discouraging investment, innovation and governments’ ability to deliver on public health and fiscal objectives,” said Yann Guérin, Group Chief Legal Officer, Philip Morris International. Western Europe at the forefront of this trend Illicit consumption is increasingly concentrated in major Western European countries—most notably France, Belgium, and the Netherlands—amplifying fiscal pressures and enforcement challenges as illicit penetration rises. France remains Europe’s largest illicit market, at a 41.4% illicit share (20.5 billion cigarettes). Counterfeits alone accounted for almost 9.7 billion cigarettes (around 19% of total consumption). France saw the largest increase in illicit cigarette consumption across Europe in 2025. Belgium recorded an illicit share of nearly 25% (more than 2 billion cigarettes). The Netherlands rose above 22% illicit share (2.1 billion cigarettes), returning to levels last observed around 2006. More broadly, six EU member states now record illicit shares above 20%, underscoring the scale and concentration of the issue. Outside the EU, the United Kingdom remains the second-largest illicit cigarette country in the study, with volumes now surpassing 7 billion, including 3.5 billion counterfeit cigarettes. What works: evidence-based policy, not extremes Not all markets move in the same direction. Some countries have achieved sustained declines through a balanced policy mix combining predictable fiscal approaches, proportionate regulation, and consistent enforcement. Greece (14.1% illicit share; 1.9 billion cigarettes) recorded one of the largest year-on-year declines - 3.4 percentage points. This marks a significant shift from previous years, when illicit levels consistently remained above 20%, highlighting a notable improvement in recent performance. Ukraine (15.9% illicit share; 5.1 billion cigarettes) saw illicit volumes decline by nearly 1 billion cigarettes year-on-year. This reduction is particularly notable given the highly challenging operating and security environment, pointing to sustained enforcement efforts and market resilience. “The lesson we derive from the situation in Europe is that not one single lever solves the problem of illicit trade; it is that a well-coordinated set of measures does,” said Massimo Andolina, President, Europe Region, Philip Morris International. “Countries that coordinate a proportionate, evidence-based approach to regulatory and tax frameworks with a disciplined effort of enforcement demonstrate that illicit trade of nicotine products can be reduced to the benefit of consumers, public finances, and the fight against crime. On the contrary, countries that promote excessive tax increases, or, even worse, product bans, such as France and the Netherlands, see illicit trends worsening, public tax collection suffers, consumers gain access to uncontrolled products, and crime thrives. It is not the evidence that is now missing, but rather the desire to act rationally and decisively,” he added. “Sustained public-private collaboration, combining effective law enforcement with robust data, expertise, information sharing, and operational capabilities, is essential to help identify, investigate, and dismantle counterfeit networks and enable authorities to stay ahead of illicit operators, moving beyond reactive measures toward a more proactive, intelligence-led approach,” added Guérin. Heated tobacco and oral nicotine products For the second consecutive year, the report also covered illicit consumption of heated tobacco products in selected European markets. It found contraband represented 1.2% of total heated tobacco consumption—significantly lower than in cigarettes—with Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands among the most impacted countries. No counterfeit heated tobacco flows were identified. However, the presence of contraband underscores that, while the scale remains limited, no product category is immune to illicit trade. While electronic heating devices are not within the scope of the study, available PMI internal analyses and third-party research similarly indicate no meaningful presence of contraband or counterfeit activity in this category to date. For the first time, the study also assessed oral nicotine products in selected countries. It found that in markets where nicotine pouches are banned or highly restricted, survey data indicate significant availability—often involving counterfeit, non-compliant or non-domestic products—suggesting widespread consumer access despite legal restrictions. The highest shares of products not eligible for sale—with the potential to reach a substantial number of consumers—were observed in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. “Philip Morris International believes policymakers in Europe should apply evidence-based, risk-proportionate regulatory approaches across all nicotine product categories - designing rules that protect consumers, support law enforcement, and avoid unintended consequences that shift demand toward the black market,” Christos Harpantidis added. “This is particularly important as evidence from other nicotine categories, including pouches and e-cigarettes, indicates the emergence of widespread illicit activity in some parts of Europe - reinforcing the need for regulatory approaches that are both effective and grounded in real-world conditions.” As Philip Morris International advances towards a smoke-free future, it continues to strengthen supply chain controls and cooperate with law enforcement and other stakeholders to combat counterfeiting and smuggling of tobacco and nicotine products. The full study results, country profiles, detailed study methodology, and country-level findings are available here. For more information about PMI’s illicit trade prevention efforts, visit PMI.com. Note to editors Definitions of illicit cigarette categories, as detailed in the KPMG report: Counterfeit: “Cigarettes that are illegally manufactured and sold by a party other than the original trademark owner.” Illicit whites: “Cigarettes that are usually manufactured legally in one country/market but which the evidence suggests have been smuggled across-borders during their transit to the destination market under review where they have limited or no legal distribution and are sold without payment of tax.” C&C: “Counterfeit and contraband, including illicit whites. Contraband refers to genuine products that have been either bought in a lower-tax country and which exceed legal border limits or acquired without taxes for export purposes to be illegally re-sold (for financial profit) in a higher priced market.” Other C&C: “Other C&C comprises contraband which does not fall within the Illicit Whites definition. It is often Duty Paid product from both EU27 and non-EU27 countries. There may also be counterfeit of brands that are not trademark-owned by participant manufacturers.” Not eligible for sale products: Products that are not eligible for sale in the market in which the product is consumed. This encompasses Non-Domestically labelled products, domestically labelled products which do not comply with regulations in the market of study, and Counterfeit products. Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 105 markets, and as of December 31, 2025, PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for 43% of PMI’s first-quarter 2026 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables and General snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas.

Philip Morris Shares Ease After Company Trims 2026 Earnings Outlook (PM)June 2, 2026 7:12 AM
IH Market News Philip Morris International (NYSE:PM) shares edged lower in premarket trading on Tuesday after the tobacco group reduced its full-year adjusted earnings guidance, reflecting the impact of an expected impairment charge and currency-related headwinds. The stock slipped around 1% before the opening bell as investors assessed the updated outlook. Earnings Forecast Narrowed Lower Philip Morris revised its adjusted earnings-per-share forecast for fiscal 2026 to a range of $8.31 to $8.46. The updated guidance compares with the company’s previous projection of $8.36 to $8.51 per share and sits broadly in line with the Bloomberg consensus estimate of $8.41. The adjustment reflects several factors affecting the company’s earnings expectations, including a significant non-cash charge related to its investment in Rothmans, Benson & Hedges (RBH). Impairment Charge Expected in Second Quarter The company said it anticipates recording a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $500 million during the second quarter of 2026 related to RBH. The charge is expected to reduce diluted earnings per share by approximately 33 cents. Philip Morris noted that RBH remains deconsolidated from the group’s financial statements and that the remaining carrying value of the investment is expected to fall below $100 million following the impairment. Reported EPS Guidance Updated To account for the expected impairment and foreign-exchange effects, the company also revised its full-year reported diluted earnings-per-share forecast. Philip Morris now expects reported diluted EPS for 2026 to be between $7.18 and $7.33. The updated outlook incorporates both the anticipated RBH impairment and the impact of currency movements on earnings. Currency Headwinds Affect Quarterly Outlook The company additionally adjusted its second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS forecast to reflect exchange-rate developments. Philip Morris now expects second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS to range between $1.97 and $2.02. Management said the forecast includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of approximately three cents per share based on prevailing foreign-exchange rates. Underlying Growth Expectations Remain Strong Despite lowering its headline earnings guidance, Philip Morris emphasized that its underlying growth outlook remains positive. Excluding total projected adjustments of $1.13 per share for 2026, the company’s adjusted diluted EPS forecast implies growth of between 10.2% and 12.2% compared with adjusted earnings of $7.54 per share recorded in 2025. The outlook suggests that, while accounting charges and currency fluctuations are affecting reported results, management continues to expect solid operational performance across the business. Investors will now be watching future updates for additional insight into the company’s earnings trajectory, the impact of foreign-exchange movements and the performance of its expanding portfolio of smoke-free products.

Philip Morris International Participates in 2026 dbAccess Global Consumer Conference; Updates 2026 Full-Year Diluted EPS Forecast for Currency and Non-Cash Impairment OnlyJune 2, 2026 1:30 AM
Business Wire Regulatory News: Philip Morris International Inc.’s (PMI) (NYSE: PM) Group CEO PMI, Jacek Olczak, will address investors today at the 2026 dbAccess Global Consumer Conference in Paris at 11:15 a.m. CET (5:15 a.m. ET), including discussion of the following topics: PMI’s continued expectation of a strong full-year performance, notably driven by the broad-based momentum of our international multicategory smoke-free business, led by IQOS. Recent heat-not-burn category developments broadly in-line with our expectations, most notably in Japan following the April 1, 2026 excise tax increase, with April offtake impacted by consumer pantry de-loading and IQOS maintaining a strong category share. U.S. ZYN portfolio expansion, including the launch of ZYN ULTRA this month in 9mg and 11mg moist variants. Available in a 20-pouch can format, ZYN ULTRA will be positioned at a lower list price-per-pouch than the ‘flagship’ dry ZYN portfolio (15-pouch format), marking an important step in optimizing ZYN’s price premium. Further extensions are planned for ZYN over the remainder of the year. The live webcast will be available here. The webcast replay will be available at the same link for one year after the event. The webcast may also be accessed on mobile devices by downloading PMI’s Investor Relations App at www.pmi.com/irapp. 2026 Full-Year Forecast PMI updates its 2026 full-year reported diluted EPS forecast to a range of $7.18 to $7.33 to reflect currency and the non-cash impairment of RBH only. Excluding a total 2026 adjustment of $1.13 per share, the forecast range for adjusted diluted EPS of $8.31 to $8.46 represents a projected increase of 10.2% to 12.2% versus $7.54 in 2025. Excluding a favorable currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of $0.20 per share, this represents growth of 7.5% to 9.5%. In May 2026, pursuant to its obligation under its court-approved plan of compromise and arrangement ("Plan"), PMI's Canadian affiliate, RBH, provided an annual business plan to its Plan Administrator containing updated five-year financial projections reflecting current industry dynamics. As a result, PMI has determined that the estimated fair value of its investment in RBH may be lower than its carrying value and expects to record a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $500 million, representing 33 cents of diluted EPS, in the second quarter of 2026. RBH remains deconsolidated from the PMI group, with the remaining carrying value expected to be less than $100 million. The change in forecasted currency impact primarily reflects unrealized transactional foreign exchange effects from deferred tax liabilities associated with the strengthening Russian ruble. These effects are expected to occur in the second quarter, and we also update our Q2 adjusted diluted EPS forecast for currency only to a range of $1.97 to $2.02, now including an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 3 cents at prevailing exchange rates. All other forecast assumptions remain unchanged from those communicated on April 22, 2026. Factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections.   Full-Year   2026

Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. In the event that risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, PMI is identifying important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by PMI. PMI's business risks include: marketing and regulatory restrictions that could reduce our competitiveness, disrupt our SFP commercialization efforts, eliminate our ability to communicate with adult consumers, or ban certain of our products in certain markets or countries; excise tax increases and discriminatory tax structures; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products; litigation related to tobacco and/or nicotine products and intellectual property rights; intense competition; inability to anticipate changes in adult consumer preferences; use and reliance on third-parties; the adverse effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; geopolitical instability affecting international trade; the impact and consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; continued decline of tax-paid cigarettes; lost revenues as a result of counterfeiting, contraband and cross-border purchases; governmental investigations; unfavorable currency exchange rates and currency devaluations, sustained periods of elevated inflation, and limitations on the ability to repatriate funds; adverse changes in applicable corporate tax laws; disruptions in the credit markets or changes to its credit ratings; recent and potential future tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries; adverse changes in the cost, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as product components for our electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. PMI's future profitability may also be adversely affected should it be unsuccessful, in key markets or systemically, in its efforts to introduce, commercialize, and grow smoke-free products or if regulation or taxation do not differentiate between such products and cigarettes; if it is unable to successfully introduce new products, promote brand equity; if there are prolonged disruptions of facilities used to produce its products; if it is unable to enter new markets or improve its margins through increased prices and productivity gains; if other market participants are more successful in their SFP commercialization efforts; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our smoke-free products performance. PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. PMI cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not a complete discussion of all potential risks and uncertainties.

IQOS One of the Most Valuable Global Brands, According to Kantar’s BrandZ 2026 RankingMay 26, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire Recognition reinforces the growing consumer relevance of IQOS and the strength of Philip Morris International’s smoke-free vision Philip Morris International’s (PMI) (NYSE: PM) IQOS, the #1 tobacco heating system1, has been listed for the first time as one of the top 100 most valuable brands in the world in Kantar’s BrandZ 2026 Most Valuable Global Brands. This ranking solidifies IQOS’s global momentum and its emergence as a culturally relevant, iconic brand for adult nicotine users seeking better alternatives to cigarettes. According to the BrandZ 2026 Most Valuable Global Brands, IQOS achieved a ranking of #74 globally. With more than 35 million IQOS users worldwide—most of whom have fully switched away from cigarettes2—the brand continues to lead from the front and champion in a smoke-free era through science-backed innovation and consumer-centric design. Within 10 years of inception, IQOS surpassed $10 billion in annual net revenues, reaching this milestone faster than some of the world’s most recognized technology companies—and making up the large majority of Philip Morris International’s smoke-free business which reached close to $17 billion in net revenues in 2025. “This milestone is a powerful validation of the journey we are on,” said Oggie Kapetanovic, President Heat-Not-Burn Products at Philip Morris International. “IQOS is not only the world’s leading smoke-free brand - it is becoming a truly iconic brand, built on science, innovation, and consumer trust. This recognition reaffirms IQOS’s continued growth and its pivotal role in transforming the industry. It inspires us to go further, faster, in delivering better alternatives for adults who would otherwise smoke.” BrandZ charts the way in which global brands have continued to evolve and innovate. Now in its 21st edition, it spotlights the importance of building meaningful difference where a brand meets consumer needs, stands out from competitors and remains top-of-mind in its sector for a prolonged period. “The brand era has changed. People now interact with brands in thousands of different ways. Many of these are shaped by AI, like personalized feeds or LLMs that influence what we see. Machines are increasingly surfacing and prioritizing content. That means brands need to work harder than ever to stand out as meaningful and different,” said Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ. IQOS’s inclusion in the Kantar Top 100 for the first time underscores its growing role beyond product innovation — positioning the brand at the intersection of technology, design, and culture, aiming to meet the preferences of adult nicotine users. This recognition marks another important step toward achieving a future where cigarettes can become obsolete. Other notable brands featured in this year’s BrandZ 2026 global rankings include Google, Claude and Chinese-based companies like Alibaba and Xiaomi, highlighting industry leaders driving global brand value. Kantar BrandZ is a global ranking that assesses brand value by combining financial data and extensive brand equity research, offering an in-depth view of over 22,000 brands in 54 markets. IQOS is not risk-free and provides nicotine, which is addictive. Only for use by adults who would otherwise smoke or use nicotine products. 1 PMI global estimates of total in Market Sales of Heated Tobacco Units as of December 2025 2 Source: PMI Q4 2025 Earnings Release Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector.

PMI U.S. LAUNCHES YEARLONG AMERICA250 INITIATIVE CELEBRATING AND ACCELERATING AMERICAN INNOVATION AND REINVENTIONMay 20, 2026 3:20 PM
PR Newswire (US) The nationwide program, including an innovation challenge, a five-city tour, expanded community investment, and commemorative items, reflects PMI U.S.'s commitment to building what comes next.STAMFORD, Conn., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Philip Morris International's U.S. business (PMI U.S.) today announced a sweeping America250 initiative grounded in a defining American force: reinvention. Building on the business's $1 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, operational capabilities, and people costs1, and the continued growth of its portfolio of modern nicotine products, including ZYN and IQOS, the program will support progress already underway across the country. The initiative—which incorporates a $250,000 innovation challenge, a five-city tour, commemorative items, and expanded community activations—reflects PMI U.S.'s view that America's 250th anniversary is not just a moment for reflection, but a springboard for progress."At a time like this, it is not enough to look back. We must invest forward," said Stacey Kennedy, CEO of PMI U.S. "America's progress has always been driven by the people building what comes next in their communities. Our role as a business invested in America's future is to help scale those efforts in the immediate term by putting real resources behind them and ensuring they are seen and supported."For two and a half centuries, America has moved forward by challenging what exists and building what comes next. One area in which greater progress can be made: transitioning the approximately 25 million U.S. adults (21+) who still use combustible cigarettes—the leading cause of preventable death in this country and a product that has remained largely unchanged for decades—to better alternatives. PMI U.S. is working to bring new innovations to market in the coming months.PMI U.S.'s America250 initiative will extend beyond the factory floor to include investment in the entrepreneurs, civic leaders, and community innovators who are developing practical solutions to local and national challenges."Real progress is already happening across the country," Kennedy added. "What is often missing is the support and visibility needed to take those ideas further. PMI U.S.'s America250 initiative is about identifying what works and helping it grow."A National Platform: Four Pillars of Investment Community Futures Challenge
PMI U.S will launch a nationwide search for innovators and community leaders tackling America's toughest challenges. Five winners will share $250,000 in direct funding and receive amplified visibility to support and expand their impact. Applications are set to open in June.Innovation tour
Beginning June 2026, PMI U.S. will convene business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and community organizations across five cities: Phoenix, AZ; Stamford, CT; Jacksonville, FL; Pittsburgh, PA; and Nashville, TN. Each stop will spotlight bold problem-solvers and connect changemakers driving innovation in real time.Community Investment and Volunteer Impact
Since 2022, PMI U.S. has contributed more than $35 million to charitable partners across the U.S. As part of its America250 commitment, the business is mobilizing its 3,300-person workforce to encourage an estimated 2,000 volunteer hours spent serving communities across America—including adults lacking essential services, food-insecure families, and military veterans in need of housing and pro-bono legal, financial, and IT assistance. In accordance with its "give where you live" ethos, PMI U.S. will also expand investment in the communities where it operates, including Aurora, CO; Owensboro, KY; and Wilson, NC.Innovation, Manufacturing Expansion, and Commemorative Items
As part of its focus on advancing the modern nicotine category to replace combustible cigarettes for adults 21+, PMI U.S. is driving the growth of the broader nicotine pouch category. The business is investing in brand-building and commercial execution alongside its continued innovation efforts. This includes preparing its manufacturing and commercial operations for upcoming product launches and opening its Aurora facility.To mark the anniversary, PMI U.S. will launch a series of limited-edition America250 designs across ZYN and IQOS for legal-age (21+) nicotine consumers only, celebrating the nation's red, white, and blue.ZYN Patriotic Storage Can: Inspired by the iconic stars and stripes, a limited-edition metal ZYN storage can will be available in the ZYN Rewards store from June 1.IQOS U.S. Edition: A limited-edition IQOS device will sport a bold red, white, and blue design for a limited time, starting in June. Celebrating Throughout 2026 and Beyond
PMI U.S. will continue celebrations throughout the year, at major events and cultural moments, including the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.The program culminates in early 2027 with the Next.Now Summit in Phoenix, a high-profile national gathering to celebrate the five Community Futures Challenge winners, showcase breakthrough community solutions, and set the agenda for what American innovation looks like in its next chapter. The summit will bring together national thought leaders, media, policymakers, and advocates to accelerate progress.More information will be available on www.uspmi.com.PMI U.S.: Invested in America
Philip Morris International Inc.'s U.S. businesses are invested in America's future and advancing a smoke-free nation.

Philip Morris International Announces Group CFO SuccessionMay 20, 2026 7:00 AM
Business Wire Regulatory News: Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) announced today that Massimo Andolina has been appointed Group Chief Financial Officer, effective August 1, 2026, reporting to Jacek Olczak, Group CEO PMI. Massimo succeeds Emmanuel Babeau, who will remain with the Company until March 31, 2027 as Strategic Advisor to the Group CEO PMI, to ensure a smooth CFO transition. “Massimo is a highly respected leader with a deep knowledge of PMI and a strong track record of driving innovation, business growth, and people development,” said Jacek Olczak, Group CEO PMI. “I am confident that his experience, business judgment, and leadership will serve him extremely well in his new role as we continue to deliver best-in-class growth and sustainable performance for shareholders. I would like to warmly thank Emmanuel for his leadership and strong delivery over the past 6 years, a period of remarkable success for our smoke-free business, with strong financial performance and excellent shareholder returns.” Mr. Andolina joined PMI in 2008, and over the course of his journey, he has made significant contributions across the organization in a number of senior operational and strategic roles. Since being appointed President, Europe Region in 2023, Mr. Andolina’s responsibilities have included the execution of strategic and operational priorities, as well as the financial performance of the largest region and most advanced smoke-free geography in the group. Under Mr. Andolina’s leadership the Europe Region delivered robust top and bottom-line growth, underpinned by excellent smoke-free progress at-scale and resilient combustibles performance. He led significant regional organizational changes to strengthen management depth, improve financial discipline, and accelerate sustainable growth, while remaining a visible advocate for innovation, people development and constructive engagement with external stakeholders across Europe. From 2018 to 2023, Mr. Andolina served as PMI’s Senior Vice President, Global Operations, where he led a supply chain and manufacturing organization of over 30,000 people in an increasingly complex environment with significant external volatility. Mr. Andolina implemented a number of enterprise-wide transformation initiatives and operational efficiencies, many of which continue to benefit the company today, contributing to sustained improvements in PMI’s gross margin while enhancing resilience. Earlier, from 2016 to 2017, he served as Vice President, PMI Transformation, playing an important role at a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution. Prior to joining PMI, Mr. Andolina held a number of strategic and business development roles at other large multinational corporations. He holds a Master of Science in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Palermo, and an MBA from IMD in Lausanne. Mr. Babeau was appointed Chief Financial Officer in May 2020 and joined PMI with extensive experience of transformation and Finance leadership across several industries, including at Schneider Electric and Pernod Ricard. Over the past six years, Mr. Babeau has made a significant contribution to both PMI’s strong financial performance and its evolution into a recognized growth company, including through the acquisition of Swedish Match in 2022 and a substantial increase in the share of net revenues derived from our smoke-free business, which reached 43% in Q1 2026. Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 105 markets, and as of December 31, 2025, PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for 43% of PMI’s first-quarter 2026 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables and General snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas.

Philip Morris International’s Moira Gilchrist Positions Human Judgment as a Critical Leadership Advantage Amid Rapid AI Adoption at Wall Street Journal ForumMay 8, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire PMI’s Chief Global Communications Officer says companies that safeguard human judgment will gain a competitive edge as AI automates routine knowledge work Philip Morris International’s (PMI) (NYSE:PM) Chief Global Communications Officer, Moira Gilchrist, joined global thought leaders at The Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything conference in New York to examine why human cognition—judgment, context, creativity, and ethical reasoning—is becoming the most valuable asset in an age of artificial intelligence. “The AI boom is putting a premium on distinctly human capabilities,” said Gilchrist, who took part in the session “Cognition: The New Currency – Why Human Judgment Matters More Than Ever.” Speaking to attendees, she emphasized that, “As knowledge is getting democratized, human judgment, intuition, and creativity become the true differentiators that leaders need to nurture across all levels of their organizations.” Philip Morris International is today a different company, built with a singular objective: achieving a smoke-free future. It has evolved its product portfolio, reskilled its workforce, and adopted new ways of working to expand access to better alternatives for legal-age adults who would otherwise continue to smoke. This underscores an increasingly important reality for PMI and for companies more broadly: in a world where AI automates routine knowledge work, long-term resilience and competitive advantage will depend not only on science and technology, but also on distinctly human capabilities—judgment, intuition, and adaptability. The discussion at the Future of Everything conference further explored how AI is reshaping work and leadership—and why organizations that intentionally protect and encourage human judgment will be best positioned for long-term resilience. Earlier this year in Davos, Philip Morris International called for global dialogue following the release of its white paper, Human Cognition: The Next Frontier?, which argues that cognition should be treated as a scarce and strategic resource as AI automates routine knowledge work. Gilchrist outlined a set of accelerating cognitive risks—cognitive atrophy, attention erosion, the cognitive divide, and trust challenges—that will determine whether society harnesses AI as a force for progress or becomes overwhelmed by it. She emphasized the risk of a growing cognitive divide between those whose roles cultivate judgment and those increasingly exposed to automation. As AI accelerates, Philip Morris International continues to advocate for leadership models that keep human judgment at the center of trust, ethics, and long-term value creation.

Forbes Includes Philip Morris International in Its Net Zero Leaders ListMay 4, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
PMI ranks number 4, marking its fourth consecutive year of recognition for making significant strides toward reaching net zero carbon footprint goals


Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) has been included once more in Forbes’ 2026 Net Zero Leaders1 list, recognizing its leadership and continued progress in advancing climate action across its global operations.


The Forbes Net Zero Leaders list highlights U.S. publicly listed companies best positioned to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, based on measurable performance rather than commitments alone. Despite most companies aligning to a 2050 net zero horizon, PMI remains committed to reaching net zero by 2040, as set out in its Climate Transition Plan published in 2025. This aspiration reflects PMI’s confidence in collective progress, trust that ambition drives innovation, that policy will evolve to enable change, and collaboration will accelerate system-wide transformation. Above all, it signals hope: that by acting early and holding firm, PMI can help build the critical momentum needed to shift markets, technologies, and mindsets, and inspire similar action across its value chain.


“Transforming a global business has taught us that the companies best prepared for what’s ahead are those that treat long-term value creation as a source of strategic advantage, not a parallel agenda. Climate action sits at the heart of how we generate sustainable value – for our shareholders, our suppliers and partners, as well as the societies we operate in,” said Jennifer Motles, Chief Sustainability Officer. “Being recognized once again by Forbes as a climate leader confirms that the choices we make today about strategy, capital, and governance shape the sustainability of the business we become tomorrow.”


Philip Morris International placed number 1 in the fast-moving consumer goods category, the only FMCG to make it to the top 10, and 4th overall, reflecting its excellent risk management, operational strength, governance and organizational preparedness. Forbes evaluated companies using data from Sustainalytics and Morningstar, assessing governance, risk management, strategy, decarbonization metrics across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, and financial resilience.


“Our approach combines mitigation with adaptation, building resilience across manufacturing footprint and agricultural supply chains,” said Scott Coutts, Chief Global Operations Officer. “It is about protecting the business we operate today while preparing it for the climate-related risks, impacts, and opportunities ahead. For PMI, climate action is fundamental to operational excellence, continuity, and long-term competitiveness.”


Over the past year, Philip Morris International has continued to strengthen the foundations of its climate strategy and integrate it more deeply into how the business creates long-term value. Key milestones include:



Launching its comprehensive Value Plan 2030+, defining the next phase of PMI’s long-term value creation;



Publishing an updated Climate Transition Plan, setting out the actions, governance, timelines, and targets to achieve net zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2040; and



Continued progress towards its science-based decarbonization targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 105 markets, and as of December 31, 2025, PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for 43% of PMI’s first-quarter 2026 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes.

Philip Morris International Announces U.S. FDA Reauthorization of IQOS as a Modified Risk Tobacco ProductApril 17, 2026 5:43 PM
Business Wire
A pioneer in smoke-free tobacco products, Philip Morris International is the only company that has received modified risk tobacco product authorizations for heated tobacco products.


In their order, FDA concluded that: “Scientific studies have shown that switching completely from conventional cigarettes to the IQOS system significantly reduces your body’s exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals”


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it has authorized the renewal of modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) orders previously granted to PMI for two versions of the IQOS device and three variants of the tobacco consumables, commercialized under the HEETS brand. This renewal allows PMI to continue sharing reduced-exposure information with U.S. adults 21+ who use traditional tobacco products, such as combustible cigarettes.


The agency concluded that renewing the IQOS and HEETS MRTP authorizations is appropriate to promote public health and is expected to benefit the health of the population as a whole taking into account both users of tobacco products and persons who do not currently use tobacco products.


“As the only company to have successfully secured and maintained MRTP authorizations for heated tobacco products in the U.S., we are confident that our science-based alternatives can help adult smokers transition away from combustible cigarettes,” said Stacey Kennedy, CEO, PMI U.S. “This decision from the FDA reflects both the rigorous scientific foundation supporting IQOS and our ongoing commitment to responsibly deliver smoke-free choices to adult consumers.”


In issuing the MRTP renewal orders for IQOS, the FDA reaffirmed that “the scientific evidence that is available without conducting long-term epidemiological studies demonstrates that a measurable and substantial reduction in morbidity or mortality among individual tobacco users is reasonably likely.”


The IQOS 2.4 system was the first heated tobacco product authorized via the FDA’s MRTP process in 2020 as “appropriate for the promotion of public health,” following its authorization through the premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) process in 2019. The IQOS 3 system secured MRTP authorization in 2022, following premarket authorization in 2020. The FDA continues to review PMTAs for IQOS ILUMA and given its strong application and demonstrated track record converting legal age smokers to a better alternative, PMI believes the application warrants expeditious FDA action.


PMI’s MRTP submission included an extensive body of scientific evidence indicating that the IQOS system produces aerosol with substantially lower levels of harmful and potentially harmful constituents compared with cigarette smoke. While no tobacco product is risk-free, a growing body of real-world data—including from markets such as Japan—indicates that the availability of heated tobacco products has been associated with notable reductions in combustible cigarette consumption.


Heated tobacco products, such as IQOS, heat tobacco without burning it, significantly reducing the formation of the harmful chemicals created by combustion while delivering real tobacco taste and nicotine satisfaction. The renewed authorization covers the following products:



IQOS 2.4 System Holder and Charger





IQOS 3.0 System Holder and Charger





HEETS: Amber, Green Menthol, Blue Menthol



PMI U.S. is focused on providing better options than traditional tobacco products to America’s 45 million legal-age nicotine consumers—approximately 25 million of whom still smoke cigarettes, by far the most harmful way to consume nicotine.


Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion globally to develop, scientifically substantiate, and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes.


PMI first entered the U.S. market in 2022, following its acquisition of Swedish Match—a leader in oral nicotine delivery—creating a global smoke-free champion. PMI’s ambition is that all adults who would otherwise continue to smoke leave cigarettes behind for good by either quitting altogether or switching completely to scientifically substantiated smoke-free products as soon as possible. Regulatory policies and decisions can substantially accelerate the speed and magnitude of this historic change.

PMI U.S. Calls for Science-Based Policy and Credible, Open Dialogue to Accelerate America's Smoke-Free FutureApril 17, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

WASHINGTON, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Philip Morris International's U.S. businesses (PMI U.S.) brought a pointed message to Washington this week: America's transition away from combustible cigarettes is being held back—not by a lack of science, but by a lack of urgency. The call comes on the heels of Technovation, PMI's global science and innovation summit held in Washington, D.C., where policymakers, scientists, business leaders, public health advocates and the media examined the persistent challenges of cigarette smoking and the urgent need for evidence-based solutions. Central to those discussions: new research in the U.S. showing that a fundamental misperception among American legal-age adult smokers is actively slowing progress.







The findings of a PMI U.S. commissioned nationwide survey conducted by Povaddo LLC underscore the challenge: Seventy-three percent believe all tobacco and nicotine products carry the same risk, a misconception that can discourage those who continue to smoke from exploring FDA-authorized smoke-free alternatives. While the majority of Americans want to see more done to reduce smoking-related harm, progress has stalled. PMI U.S. says these findings point to a credibility crisis in public discourse around smoking and harm reduction, one that is costing lives.Members of the Congressional Tobacco Harm Reduction Caucus echoed this urgency at Technovation, emphasizing the need for public health regulation that keeps pace with science and innovation. "We owe it to the American people to have better health outcomes," one caucus panelist said, underscoring bipartisan support for policies that reflect the latest evidence—not outdated assumptions."The data are clear: When adults who smoke aren't aware that better options exist, they are more likely to keep smoking. For those who would otherwise continue using combustible cigarettes, science-backed smoke-free alternatives represent a better choice, and public health policy should support informed choice and responsible progress," said Stacey Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of PMI U.S. "If we are serious about reducing the harm caused by smoking in the United States, we need policies and conversations rooted in science, not stigma."At Technovation, PMI U.S. outlined several core positions: Science-based, smoke-free alternatives represent a better choice for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke. Despite recent progress, there remains a backlog of smoke-free product applications at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Adults who smoke deserve access to the science-based, smoke-free options still awaiting agency review. Misperceptions about nicotine and the role of combustion in smoking-related disease impede progress. Public and medical understanding of the science behind tobacco harm reduction is essential—and long overdue.To accelerate progress, the FDA should clearly communicate, especially to medical professionals, what the science says about smoke-free products' relative risk profiles, so adults who smoke can make informed choices.Collaboration among government, public health experts, scientists, and industry is needed to accelerate America's transition away from cigarettes, while protecting youth and supporting informed adult choice. These themes are explored further in PMI U.S.'s "Forgotten Smoker" white paper, which examines the 25-30 million adult Americans who continue to smoke and highlights the need for better access to affordable, smoke-free options and more accurate information about the continuum of risk.Videos from Technovation are available at: https://www.pmi.com/technovation2026presskit/.PMI U.S.: Invested in America

Philip Morris International Presents its Value Report 2025: change in motionMarch 31, 2026 4:30 AM
Business Wire
The company’s annual disclosure unveils its Value Plan 2030+


Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) today released its Value Report 2025, offering a holistic perspective on the company’s approach to sustainable value creation. The report marks the completion of PMI’s 2025 Roadmap, communicating achievements for each aspiration introduced by the company in 2020, and introduces its Value Plan 2030+, set to guide the company’s continued path to sustainable growth.


“For more than a decade, PMI has pursued an industry-leading shift away from cigarettes—a transformation that goes far beyond product innovation to encompass how we allocate capital, engage stakeholders, and measure success,” said Jacek Olczak, Group Chief Executive Officer. “‘change in motion’ captures the reality that transformation is not a project with a defined end date, it is the continuous work of improvement, innovation, and adaptation that keeps us relevant and resilient. We transform continuously because markets evolve, science advances, stakeholder expectations rise, and new opportunities emerge. This is who we are: a company perpetually in motion toward a better future, refusing to stand still even as we celebrate how far we have come.”


Built on the progress that PMI has made over the past decade, the report explains how the company is securing the resources, capabilities, and stakeholder trust that will sustain its business for decades to come. The sustainability of the business is PMI’s strategy; it is how it secures resources, manages risk, meets stakeholder expectations, and future-proofs a business built to deliver results today, while securing the ability to deliver tomorrow.


“Our approach to value creation is anchored in a simple conviction: long-term financial success depends on the health of the resources and relationships that make it possible. By investing in natural, human, social, intellectual, and manufactured capital—what we define as non-financial capitals—we strengthen the very foundations on which long-term financial success depends,” said Emmanuel Babeau, Group Chief Financial Officer. “This is fundamental to our growth, resilience, and identity as a forward-thinking organization.”


PMI achieved meaningful progress across both product and operational impact in 2025, as it closed its 2025 Roadmap.


PMI’s Business Transformation Metrics (BTMs) have provided stakeholders with clear, comparable indicators of our progress toward a smoke-free future. These metrics go beyond traditional reporting frameworks to capture aspects unique to PMI’s change of motion. They include the following:



Around 43.5 million adult consumers of smoke-free products worldwide.i



PMI’s smoke-free products were available for sale in 106 markets.ii



PMI’s smoke-free business net revenues reached USD 16.9 billion and represented 41.5% of total annual net revenues.iii



In addition, PMI celebrated progress on:



98% coverage of shipment volume with youth access prevention programs in its indirect retail channels.iv



91% coverage of shipment volumes with PMI’s anti-littering programs for cigarette butts.v



76% of PMI employees globally had access to structured lifelong learning opportunities. vi



99.6% of contracted farmers supplying tobacco to PMI made a living income by year-end 2025. This was achieved through initiatives aimed at boosting farm productivity and encouraging income diversification.vii



99.3% of tobacco purchased at no risk of net deforestation of managed natural forest and no conversion of natural ecosystems.viii



46% decrease versus 2019 on absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with the company achieving carbon neutrality in its direct operationsix, and PMI’s absolute Scope 3 Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) GHG emissions decreased by 31% versus 2010.x



“We have identified six strategic priorities that reflect what matters most to our stakeholders and our business: consumers and product health impact, circularity, climate change, nature and biodiversity, our own workforce, and workers throughout our value chain, which are consolidated in our Value Plan 2030+. This plan identifies where our actions intersect most significantly with business imperatives, ensuring our initiatives drive tangible outcomes across various forms of capital, creating a strategy that is comprehensive yet focused, ambitious yet pragmatic, and deeply integrated into how we operate and grow,” said Jennifer Motles, Chief Sustainability Officer. “Our plan is explicit about what we control directly and what requires the action of, and partnership with others, setting a strong foundation for effective action. That is the spirit with which we present our Value Plan 2030+, as an invitation to dialogue, a platform for collaboration, and a roadmap for the next chapter: turning sustainability into lasting business value.”


PMI’s Value Plan 2030+ sets the course for the company’s next chapter—a continuation of the change in motion that has defined PMI’s evolution over the past decade. It focuses on accelerating the growth of its smoke-free product portfolio, working to make cigarettes obsolete, and exploring adjacent avenues of growth in wellness, while maintaining responsible sales and marketing practices, investing in human and natural capital, and strengthening the operational resilience that underpins long-term, sustainable value creation.


PMI’s Value Report 2025 has been prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Universal Standards (2021) and relevant topic-specific standards. This report follows guidance from the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) of the IFRS Foundation, including SASB Standards, Integrated Thinking Principles, and the Integrated Reporting Framework. Beginning with the 2025 reporting cycle, the company renamed its annual disclosure from the ‘Integrated Report’ to the ‘Value Report’ to reflect its commitment to transparency, communicating how it creates, preserves, and enhances value over the short, medium, and long term. The Value Report continues to build on the foundation established by previous Integrated Reports, providing a comprehensive and integrated view of PMI’s strategy, management, performance, and outlook in relation to its most significant sustainability-related topics.

PMI U.S. BRINGS TECHNOVATION TO WASHINGTON D.C.March 30, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

PMI's global science and innovation platform brings together leaders to accelerate progress toward a smoke-free futureWASHINGTON, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Technovation, the global science and innovation platform of Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM), will make its U.S. debut on April 14. The one-day event brings together experts, policymakers, scientists, media, and business leaders across the Americas to explore how innovation, science, and regulation can accelerate progress toward a smoke-free future.







The U.S. launch of Technovation marks a key moment for the platform and for the future of nicotine in the United States. A global leader in smoke-free innovation, PMI is advancing the development and adoption of smoke-free alternatives worldwide, helping millions of adults who smoke switch to better alternatives. In parallel, PMI and its U.S. businesses (PMI U.S.) are strongly committed to investing in America, making significant, long-term investments across U.S. manufacturing, infrastructure, and workforce development to support the growth of its smoke-free portfolio and strengthen domestic capabilities. This includes expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint and investing in advanced production facilities in Aurora, Colorado; Owensboro, Kentucky; and Wilson, North Carolina, while growing a workforce that has scaled from several hundred employees to more than 3,000 in recent years.Positioned at the nexus of science, innovation, and real-world adoption, PMI U.S. is defining the modern nicotine market in this country and accelerating the nation's smoke-free future. The business is focused on its smoke-free portfolio and anchored by ZYN, the nation's leading smoke-free product and first nicotine pouch authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).The event will bring together leading voices across science, policy, and business to explore the forces shaping smoke-free products, from product innovation and regulatory progress to evolving consumer behaviors and preferences. It will debut new data on an often-overlooked segment of the U.S. adult smoking population, tackle persistent challenges such as misperceptions about nicotine and highlight the need for collaboration with law enforcement to help combat illicit trade. PMI will also feature an interactive exhibition with demonstrations and immersive experiences that showcase the science behind its portfolio of smoke-free products."Technovation is an important platform to better understand the scientific and technological progress behind today's smoke free alternatives," said Stacey Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of PMI U.S. "Here in the United States, our business is focused on leading the smoke free future—investing in innovation, domestic manufacturing, and partnerships to responsibly develop smoke free products that meet the expectations of a highly regulated market and support a science based, responsible approach to modern nicotine."Since 2008, PMI has invested more than $16 billion in developing, scientifically substantiating and commercializing smoke-free products (as of 31 December 2025), now used by over 43 million legal age consumers worldwide. Committed to responsible marketing practices and scientific integrity, PMI's affiliates hold 80% of modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) authorizations and 41% of premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) marketing orders issued by the U.S. FDA. The company also holds an extensive portfolio of patents supporting its smoke-free technologies and ambitions, underscoring its continued leadership in scientific advancement and product innovation.PMI U.S.: Invested in America
Philip Morris International Inc.'s U.S. businesses are invested in America's future and advancing a smoke-free nation. The businesses are committed to providing the approximately 30 million legal-age consumers who smoke cigarettes with better, smoke-free alternatives and to ensuring the products are marketed responsibly. From PMI's global headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and other locations nationwide, PMI U.S. contributes leadership, jobs, investment, and innovation in the U.S. The U.S. businesses employ more than 3,000 people across America and operate product manufacturing facilities, including in Aurora, Colorado, Owensboro, Kentucky, and Wilson, North Carolina.

Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company's current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 105 markets, and as of December 31, 2025, PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for 41.5% of PMI's full year 2025 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match's General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI's IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables and General snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas.

_________________________



1 Explanation of PMI's use of non-GAAP measures cited in this document and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures can be found in the “Non-GAAP Measures, Glossary and Explanatory Notes” section of this release, in Exhibit 99.2 to the company's Form 8-K dated February 6, 2026, and here.









Results Highlights








Smoke-free business (SFB): Our smoke-free business delivered a strong performance, with full-year shipment volumes up by 12.8%, net revenues growing by 15.0% (14.1% organically) and gross profit increasing by 20.3% (18.7% organically). Our smoke-free business accounted for 41.5% of our total net revenues, and nearly 43% of total gross profit (up by 2.8pp and 3.2pp respectively vs. full-year 2024). Our smoke-free products (SFP) are now available in 106 markets, with over 43 million estimated adult consumers (up by around 4.5 million versus December 2024). In the fourth quarter, we delivered 12.0% net revenue growth (8.6% organically), 12.2% gross profit growth (8.3% organically) while achieving a key milestone with over 50% of net revenues generated by the smoke-free business in 3 of our 4 regions. On full-year basis, we reached the same milestone in 27 markets, including 8 markets where we exceeded 75%.



Heat-not-burn SFP: IQOS continued to drive the growth of the global category, where PMI holds approximately 76% volume share. We strengthened the overall position of IQOS (gaining 1pp of the combined cigarette and HTU industry volumes in the fourth quarter to reach 9.6%) as the second largest nicotine ‘brand’ in markets where present, with the #1 volume share position in 13 markets. HTU adjusted in-market sales (IMS) volume growth, which excludes the net impact of estimated distributor and wholesaler inventory movements, accelerated to 12% in the fourth quarter and increased by an estimated 10.5% for the full-year, broadly in line with shipment growth.


In Japan, PMI HTU adjusted IMS grew by an estimated 7.0% for the full year and 5.8% in the fourth quarter. IQOS continues to hold close to 70% of heat-not-burn category volume, notwithstanding intensifying competition. IQOS HTU adjusted market share of total nicotine increased by 2.0pp to 32.6% in the fourth quarter. In December, the overall HTU category exceeded 50% of total nicotine offtake share at the national level, including 19 out of 20 major cities and 16 prefectures.



In Europe, with continuous brand equity investment and innovation, IQOS HTU adjusted IMS grew by an estimated 8.6% for the full year with an acceleration in the fourth quarter to 10.3% and IQOS HTU adjusted market share up by 1.5pp to 12.0%. Another year of dynamic adjusted IMS growth was led by Italy's return to double-digit performance, which was also delivered in many other markets, notably Germany, Greece, Romania and Spain.



Outside Europe and Japan, adjusted IMS grew strongly in the fourth quarter and offtake share increased in key cities across the globe, including Mexico City, Jakarta, Riyadh, Kuala Lumpur, Cairo and Manila. In Taiwan, the recent launch of IQOS delivered very promising early results.






Oral SFP: Full-year shipment volume increased by 18.5% (up 7.3% in Q4) in pouch or pouch equivalents, fueled by nicotine pouches, which grew by nearly 37% in the U.S., and over 35% in international markets, despite some snus volume declines in the Nordics.


In the U.S., nicotine pouches account for a high single-digit percentage of total industry volumes and remain the fastest growing nicotine category. ZYN, with a premium price positioning, continued to lead the category with around two-thirds value share in 2025. Supported by a wide range of commercial activities to further enhance the equity and presence of the brand, ZYN shipment volume in the fourth quarter reached 196 million cans, an increase of over 19%, whilst offtake volume grew 23% as estimated by Nielsen. Full-year ZYN shipment volumes reached 794 million cans.



The international nicotine pouch business continues to expand, with ZYN now available in 55 markets and growth fueled by strong market share gains of this dynamically growing category. Our focus remains on switching legal-age smokers with a relevant product portfolio, including 1.5mg variants which are now available in around two thirds of ZYN markets.






E-vapor SFP: VEEV continued to accelerate its increasingly profitable growth, and is now available in 47 markets. Shipment volumes more than doubled on a full-year basis, notably driven by Europe and Indonesia. Within the closed pods segment, VEEV holds the #1 volume share position in 8 markets, and is gaining significant market share, sourcing primarily from legal-age consumers of other vaping products and adult smokers. PMI remains committed to building and commercializing the brand in a focused, responsible and profitable manner.



Combustibles: Notwithstanding expected lower volumes, full-year net revenues grew by 2.5% (1.8% organically) driven by strong pricing, partly offset by geographic mix. Together with productivity improvements, this resulted in gross profit growth of 5.2% (4.4% organically). In the fourth quarter net revenues grew by 3.2% (up 0.3% organically) with gross profit up by 5.5% (2.8% organically) and Marlboro reaching a record high 11.0% category share. Our overall cigarette category share was slightly lower for the full-year, predominantly due to Turkey.



Dividend: Declared regular quarterly dividend of $1.47 per share, or an annualized $5.88 per share.

(1) 2025 amount reflects pre-tax restructuring charges of $241 million ($222 million net of income tax) with respect to manufacturing footprint optimization in Germany







Reported diluted EPS is forecast to be in a range of $7.87 to $8.02, at prevailing exchange rates, versus reported diluted EPS of $7.26 in 2025. Excluding a total 2026 adjustment of $0.51 per share, this forecast represents a projected increase of 11.1% to 13.1% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $7.54 in 2025. Also excluding a favorable currency impact of $0.27, at prevailing exchange rates, this forecast represents a projected increase of 7.5% to 9.5% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $7.54 in 2025, as outlined in the above table.


2026 Full-Year Forecast Assumptions


This forecast assumes:



An estimated total international industry volume decline of around 2% for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding China and the U.S.;



Broadly stable total PMI cigarette and SFP shipment volume, with high-single digit SFP shipment volume growth, and a cigarette shipment volume decline of around 3%, including the impact of weaker industry volume in India and Mexico, and the ongoing recovery of our business in Turkey;



Net revenue growth of 5% to 7% on an organic basis;



Organic operating income growth of 7% to 9%;



Full-year amortization of acquired intangibles of $0.51 per share;



Broadly stable net financing costs;



An effective tax rate, excluding discrete tax events, of around 21.5%;



Operating cash flow around $13.5 billion at prevailing exchange rates, subject to year-end working capital requirements;



Capital expenditures of $1.4 to $1.6 billion, predominantly due to investments supporting the smoke-free business;



Further net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improvement as we target a ratio of close to 2.0x by the end of 2026, at prevailing exchange rates;



No share repurchases; and



First quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $1.80 to $1.85, including an estimated favorable currency impact of 14 cents at prevailing exchange rates.



Factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections.




2026 - 2028 Growth Targets







Following strong full-year results in 2024 and 2025 coupled with another strong performance expected in 2026, we are on track to deliver at or above the top end of our 2024 to 2026 compound annual growth ranges announced on September 28th, 2023.


Today, the company provides 2026 to 2028 compound annual growth targets of:


– 6% to 8% for net revenues, on an organic basis, with SFP volume growth of high single-digit to low-teens driving total shipment volume growth;

– 8% to 10% for operating income, on an organic basis; and

– 9% to 11% for adjusted diluted EPS, excluding currency, assuming current corporate income tax rates and no share repurchases.




New Segment Reporting







With our smoke-free business now operating at scale across our regions, including substantial growth from our U.S. business, PMI has implemented an evolved organizational model with two primary business units: International and U.S. The updated organizational structure is designed to enhance our agility and to support our journey to become a smoke-free company under the leadership of Jacek Olczak, Group CEO PMI. This change was implemented effective January 1, 2026, and as a result PMI realigned its reportable segments accordingly. The four geographic segments have been replaced with three new reportable segments: International Smoke-Free, International Combustibles, and U.S. As of the first quarter of 2026, our reporting will reflect these changes. The company plans to disclose select historical financial information for the 2023 to 2025 period based on the new reportable segments before the end of the first quarter.




Conference Call







A conference call hosted by Jacek Olczak, Group CEO PMI, and Emmanuel Babeau, Group Chief Financial Officer, will be webcast at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on February 6, 2026. The webcast can be accessed here.

No meaningful U.S. travel retail volumes in prior year. Refer to additional information section of this release for shipments in pouch or pouch equivalents. "-" indicates volume below 0.1 million cans







Total PMI







Estimated industry volume (excluding China and the U.S.) for cigarettes and HTUs was broadly stable.



PMI's shipment volume was flat with SFP volumes up by 8.5%, offset by a cigarette volume decline of 2.2%, predominantly driven by Europe and East Asia, Australia and PMI Global Travel Retail regions.



Net revenues increased by 3.7% on an organic basis, mainly reflecting: a favorable pricing variance due to higher combustible tobacco pricing; and favorable volume/mix driven by higher SFP volume, notwithstanding lower volumes and unfavorable mix for cigarettes. As expected, the net revenue growth rate was below the full-year, notably due to the shipment and phasing factors outlined previously.



Adjusted operating income increased by 4.5% on an organic basis, mainly reflecting the same factors as for net revenues, partly offset by higher marketing, administration and research costs.



Europe







The estimated industry volume for cigarettes and HTUs decreased by 3.6% to 126.4 billion units, with a 5.0% decrease for cigarettes and continued HTU growth. Markets with notable decreases include Poland (down by 15.4%), Ukraine (down by 16.5%), and France (down by 9.4%), partly offset by Bulgaria (up by 8.3%), Germany (up by 1.7%), and Serbia (up by 6.4%).



PMI's shipment volume decreased by 0.4% with cigarettes down by 3.9% and SFP up by 7.6%.



Oral SFP shipments decreased, primarily driven by lower snus volume due to inventory movements. Nicotine pouch shipment volume declined against a strong prior year comparator in the Nordics, notwithstanding a very strong performance in other markets.



Net revenues increased by 5.1% on an organic basis, reflecting: a favorable pricing variance predominantly driven by higher combustible tobacco pricing; and favorable volume/mix driven by higher smoke-free products volume, notwithstanding lower volumes and unfavorable mix for cigarettes.



Adjusted operating income increased by 5.8% organically, mainly due to the same factors as for net revenue, partly offset by higher marketing, administration and research costs.



SSEA, CIS & MEA







The estimated industry volume for cigarettes and HTUs increased by 2.0% to 402.0 billion units, mainly due to India (up by 11.1%) and Turkey (up by 4.6%), partly offset by Saudi Arabia (down by 11.3%).



PMI's shipment volume increased by 0.8% with SFP up by 10.1% and cigarettes down by 0.2%.



PMI's HTU adjusted IMS volume increased by an estimated 20.4% with strong growth across the region.



Net revenues increased by 6.5% on an organic basis, primarily reflecting: a favorable pricing variance, predominantly driven by higher combustible tobacco pricing; partly offset by unfavorable volume/mix driven by unfavorable cigarette mix notably due to the below mentioned commercial model change in Indonesia.



A change in our commercial model for the below tier-one cigarette segment in Indonesia in the fourth quarter of 2024 resulted in lower net revenue growth, with no meaningful impact on operating income.



Adjusted operating income increased by 25.3% on an organic basis, mainly reflecting a favorable price variance, predominantly driven by higher combustible tobacco pricing, partly offset by higher marketing, administration and research costs.



East Asia, Australia & PMI Global Travel Retail







The estimated industry volume for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding China, decreased by 2.1% to 79.3 billion units, with HTU growth more than offset by decrease in cigarettes. Notable decreases in South Korea (down by 8.0%) and Australia (down by 60.6%) were partly offset by Global Travel Retail (up by 5.6%) and Taiwan (up by 6.2%).



PMI's shipment volume decreased by 1.7% with SFP up by 6.7% and cigarettes down by 10.5%.



PMI's HTU adjusted in-market sales volume increased by an estimated 8.9%.



Net revenues increased by 1.0% on an organic basis, primarily reflecting: a favorable price variance, predominantly due to higher combustible tobacco pricing.



Adjusted operating income decreased by 0.5% organically due to unfavorable volume/mix driven by lower cigarette volume, partly offset by lower costs and favorable price variance.



Americas







The estimated industry volume for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding the U.S., decreased by 1.9% to 49.1 billion units, driven by a decrease in the cigarette market. The decrease was mainly due to Canada (down by 13.8%) and Argentina (down by 4.0%), partly offset by Brazil (up by 0.8%).



PMI's shipment volume increased by 0.1% with SFP up by 15.6% and cigarettes down by 2.9%.



Oral SFP shipments increased by 16.1% to 230 million cans, predominantly driven by ZYN nicotine pouches in the U.S.



Net revenues decreased by 4.4% organically, predominantly driven by the U.S., with an unfavorable price comparison to low levels of ZYN promotional activity in the prior year, partly offset by favorable volume/mix due to higher ZYN volume.



Adjusted operating income decreased by 43.4% on an organic basis. While U.S. nicotine pouches retained gross margins superior to our international SFP business, this decrease primarily reflects the same factors as for net revenues; and higher marketing, administration and research costs, including further investments in our U.S. capabilities and organization.

Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion


Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 105 markets, and as of December 31, 2025 PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for 41.5% of PMI’s full year 2025 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables and General snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas. References to “PMI”, “we”, “our” and “us” mean Philip Morris International Inc., and its subsidiaries. For more information, please visit www.pmi.com and www.pmiscience.com.


Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements


This press release contains projections of future results and goals and other forward-looking statements, including statements regarding expected financial or operational performance; capital allocation plans; investment strategies; regulatory outcomes; market expectations; business plans and strategies. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. In the event that risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, PMI is identifying important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by PMI.


PMI's business risks include: marketing and regulatory restrictions that could reduce our competitiveness, disrupt our SFP commercialization efforts, eliminate our ability to communicate with adult consumers, or ban certain of our products in certain markets or countries; excise tax increases and discriminatory tax structures; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products; litigation related to tobacco and/or nicotine products and intellectual property rights; intense competition; inability to anticipate changes in adult consumer preferences; use and reliance on third-parties; the adverse effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; geopolitical instability affecting international trade; the impact and consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; continued decline of tax-paid cigarettes; lost revenues as a result of counterfeiting, contraband and cross-border purchases; governmental investigations; unfavorable currency exchange rates and currency devaluations, sustained periods of elevated inflation, and limitations on the ability to repatriate funds; adverse changes in applicable corporate tax laws; disruptions in the credit markets or changes to its credit ratings; recent and potential future tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries; adverse changes in the cost, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as product components for our electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. PMI's future profitability may also be adversely affected should it be unsuccessful, in key markets or systemically, in its efforts to introduce, commercialize, and grow smoke-free products or if regulation or taxation do not differentiate between such products and cigarettes; if it is unable to successfully introduce new products, promote brand equity; if there are prolonged disruptions of facilities used to produce its products; if it is unable to enter new markets or improve its margins through increased prices and productivity gains; if other market participants are more successful in their SFP commercialization efforts; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our smoke-free products performance.


PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and the Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, which will be filed later today. PMI cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not a complete discussion of all potential risks and uncertainties. PMI does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, except in the normal course of its public disclosure obligations.


Non-GAAP Measures, Glossary and Explanatory Notes


Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in this release to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures can be found in Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 8-K dated February 6, 2026, and here. A glossary of key terms, definitions and explanatory notes is available in the aforementioned Exhibit 99.2 and on the same webpage, where additional financial schedules, as well as adjustments and other calculations have also been made available.


Management reviews net revenues, gross profit, operating income, operating income margin, operating cash flow and earnings per share, or "EPS," on an adjusted basis, which may exclude the impact of currency and other items such as acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring costs, tax items and other special items. Additionally, starting in 2022 and on a comparative basis, for these measures other than net revenues and operating cash flow, PMI includes adjustments to add back amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets that are recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to PMI’s revenue generation, as well as impairment of intangible assets, if any. While amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets is excluded in these adjusted measures, the net revenues generated from these acquired intangible assets are included in the company's adjusted measures, unless otherwise stated. Currency-neutral and organic growth rates reflect the way management views underlying performance for these measures. PMI believes that such measures provide useful insight into underlying business trends and results. Management reviews these measures because they exclude changes in currency exchange rates and other factors that may distort underlying business trends, thereby improving the comparability of PMI’s business performance between reporting periods. Furthermore, PMI uses several of these measures in its management compensation program to promote internal fairness and a disciplined assessment of performance against company targets. PMI discloses these measures to enable investors to view the business through the eyes of management.


Non-GAAP measures used in this release should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Amazon’s capex surge, Stellantis reset, Bitcoin slide – what’s driving markets: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesFebruary 6, 2026 5:30 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures edged lower on Friday as weakness in technology stocks persisted. Online retail giant Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) unveiled a sharp increase in capital spending, while carmaker Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) flagged a major strategic rethink away from electric vehicles. Bitcoin (COIN:BTCUSD) continued to slide, and oil markets remained focused on the outcome of talks between the United States and Iran.



Amazon plans sharp rise in capital expenditure



Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was among the last major tech groups to report quarterly results after Thursday’s Wall Street close and followed peers in outlining a significant ramp-up in spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure.Chief executive Andy Jassy said Amazon intends to invest $200 billion in expanding its AI capabilities in 2026, implying a more than 50% jump in capital expenditure this year. The scale of the spending increase unsettled investors, pushing the stock sharply lower in after-hours trading.The announcement reinforced expectations that Big Tech is far from easing back on AI investment. The four largest hyperscalers—Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta—are now forecast to spend more than $630 billion collectively this year.On the numbers, Amazon posted fourth-quarter 2025 earnings of $1.95 per share on revenue of $213.39 billion, up 13.6% year on year, narrowly missing profit forecasts. Amazon Web Services delivered revenue of $35.6 billion in the December quarter, with sales growth of 24%, its strongest pace in 13 quarters.While AWS represents only around 15–20% of group revenue, it generates more than 60% of Amazon’s operating profit.
“Amazon delivered a slightly mixed picture with strong overall revenue growth and a standout boost from the cloud unit’s much anticipated reacceleration picking up greater speed,” Emarketer principal analyst Sky Canaves said.



U.S. futures slip as Wall Street eyes weekly losses



U.S. stock futures were lower early Friday, extending recent declines as Amazon’s selloff weighed on the broader technology sector. At 03:35 ET, S&P 500 futures were down 0.2%, Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 0.4%, and Dow futures eased 0.1%.Wall Street closed sharply lower on Thursday, with the Nasdaq Composite dropping 1.6%, the S&P 500 falling 1.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average shedding more than 500 points. The Nasdaq is on track for its worst weekly performance since early April, down around 4%, while the S&P 500 has lost roughly 2%. The Dow is broadly flat for the week.More corporate results are due later Friday, including updates from Under Armour (NYSE:UAA), Biogen (NASDAQ:BIIB), AutoNation (NYSE:AN) and Philip Morris (NYSE:PM). The U.S. jobs report, originally scheduled for Friday, has been pushed to next week following the resolution of the federal government shutdown.Separately, data from Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed announced layoffs by U.S. employers surged in January to the highest level for the month in 17 years.



Stellantis books major charge in “strategic shift”



Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) said it would take a charge of around €22 billion ($26.5 billion) linked to a reassessment of its electric vehicle strategy, resulting in a preliminary loss of between €19 billion and €21 billion in the second half of 2025.The group said the majority of the write-downs relate to changes in its product roadmap, driven by sharply reduced assumptions for EV demand.
“The charges announced today largely reflect the cost of over-estimating the pace of the energy transition that distanced us from many car buyers’ real-world needs, means and desires,” said Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa in a statement.The Franco-Italian automaker described the move as a “strategic shift” as it responds to high costs and softer-than-expected EV sales. Stellantis, along with other major European manufacturers such as Volkswagen, has also called for subsidies to support car production in the EU amid pressure from U.S. tariffs and rising competition from China.



Bitcoin heads for steep weekly decline



Bitcoin weakened further on Friday, leaving the world’s largest cryptocurrency on course for a heavy weekly loss as confidence in risk assets continued to fade. Bitcoin fell more than 9% to around $64,730, after earlier touching a 16-month low near $60,100.The digital asset was heading for a third consecutive weekly decline and was down more than 20% over the week. It has also lost over half its value from the record high reached in October and has erased all gains made since President Donald Trump’s election victory in late 2024.Bitcoin has been hit by a broader retreat from speculative assets, with selling pressure intensifying after Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as his preferred candidate for Federal Reserve chair. Warsh has previously opposed the Fed’s asset-purchase programs, and expectations of a leaner central bank balance sheet have weighed on crypto markets.Adding to the pressure, major corporate holder Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) reported a much wider fourth-quarter loss on Thursday, largely reflecting declines in the value of its Bitcoin holdings.



Oil prices up, but weekly losses loom ahead of talks



Oil prices rose on Friday but remained on track for their first weekly decline in nearly two months, as investors awaited the outcome of U.S.–Iran talks later in the day. Brent crude climbed 1.3% to $68.38 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 1.4% to $64.19.Despite the rebound, Brent was set to finish the week down 3.3% and WTI lower by around 1.8%, with U.S. and Iranian officials due to meet in Oman amid elevated tensions in the Middle East. Markets have been hoping that dialogue between Washington and Tehran could help ease tensions and reduce the risk of wider conflict, prompting traders to remove some geopolitical risk premium from oil prices this week.However, uncertainty remains after reports of disagreement over the scope of the talks, with Iran rejecting U.S. calls to include discussions on its missile program and saying negotiations would be limited to nuclear issues. Iran is a major oil producer and sits next to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical shipping routes for crude.Amazon stock priceStellantis stock priceStrategy stock price

Philip Morris International: Delivering a Smoke-Free Future


Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in over 100 markets, and as of June 30, 2025 PMI estimates they were used by over 41 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for 41% of PMI’s first-nine months 2025 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $14 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables and General snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness and healthcare areas and aims to enhance life through the delivery of seamless health experiences. References to “PMI”, “we”, “our” and “us” mean Philip Morris International Inc., and its subsidiaries. For more information, please visit www.pmi.com and www.pmiscience.com.

InCourt UnderOath $PM lied that its products don't combust🚩
"Less Combustion = No Combustion" (based on Nonsense)


We thus hold that, in its original complaint, $HCMC stated a valid claim for patent infringement under 11th Circuit law notwithstanding attachment of the MRTPA exhibit. II

We now turn to $HCMC s amended complaint, which presents an even stronger case in favor of $HCMC.
