Reported net revenues up by 16.4%, excluding currency
Combustible tobacco net revenue growth of 4.3%; growth of 6.2% on an organic basis, driven by pricing of 9.0%
Market share for HTUs in IQOS markets up by 1.2 points to 9.0%
Adjusted in-market sales volume for HTUs, which excludes the net unfavorable impact of estimated distributor and wholesaler inventory movements, up by an estimated 14.4%
Total IQOS users at quarter-end estimated at approximately 27.4 million (up by 0.2 million versus June 2023, reflecting normal seasonal quarterly trends), of which approximately 19.7 million had switched to IQOS and stopped smoking
ZYN nicotine pouch (NP) shipment volume in the U.S. of 105.4 million cans, representing growth of 65.7% versus third-quarter 2022 Swedish Match shipments of 63.6 million cans
Increased regular quarterly dividend by 2.4% to $1.30 per share, or an annualized rate of $5.20 per share

"We delivered a very strong performance in the third quarter, surpassing $9 billion in quarterly net revenues for the first time and generating record quarterly adjusted diluted EPS of $1.67, representing currency-neutral growth of 20.3%," said Jacek Olczak, Chief Executive Officer.

"This reflects continued excellent business momentum, driven by strong IQOS performance, resilient combustible trends and the exceptional growth of ZYN -- which has surpassed our expectations yet again."

"As a result of our strong year-to-date delivery, we are raising our full-year growth outlook for adjusted diluted EPS to a range of 10.0% to 10.5%, excluding currency."

2023 THIRD-QUARTER SUMMARY

Net revenues increased by 9.3% on an organic basis, driven by total cigarette and HTU shipment volume growth of 2.2% (reflecting growth of 18.0% for HTUs and a decline of 0.5% for cigarettes), the favorable product mix impact of smoke-free products, and combustible tobacco pricing of 9%.

Adjusted operating income increased by 11.3% on an organic basis, reflecting a sequential acceleration as supply chain disruptions and ILUMA-related factors continued to dissipate, coupled with the favorable underlying dynamics of the company's shift to smoke-free products. Adjusted operating income margin of 40.8% increased by 1.4 points sequentially versus the second quarter.

Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.67 increased by 20.3%, excluding currency, driven primarily by the organic growth in adjusted operating income, as well as the results of the Swedish Match business and its strong performance led by ZYN in the U.S.

(1) 2023 amount includes $0.08 related to Swedish Match AB purchase price allocation adjustment
(2) 2023 Tax items relate to the unilateral suspension of certain Russian double tax treaties by the Russian government

Reported diluted EPS is forecast to be in a range of $4.95 to $4.98, at prevailing exchange rates, versus reported diluted EPS of $5.81 in 2022. The change versus the company's prior forecast of $5.19 to $5.28 primarily reflects: a tax charge related to the unilateral suspension of certain Russian double tax treaties by the Russian government, an income tax impact associated with the Swedish Match financing, higher amortization of intangibles related to purchase price allocation adjustments for the Swedish Match acquisition, and costs related to the termination of the company's pledge agreement with the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World, partly offset by better business performance. The above items primarily relate to the third quarter of 2023.

Excluding a total 2023 adjustment of $1.10 per share and an adverse currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of $0.53 per share (compared to $0.50 per share previously), this forecast represents a projected increase of 10.0% to 10.5% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $5.98 in 2022, as outlined in the above table. This compares to a projected increase of 8.0% to 9.5% on the same basis per the company's prior full-year 2023 forecast provided on September 28, 2023.

2023 Full-Year Forecast Assumptions

This forecast assumes:

An estimated total international industry volume decline for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding China and the U.S., of 1.5% to 2.0%, compared to 0.5% to 1.5% previously;
Total cigarette and HTU shipment volume growth for PMI of 1.0% to 1.5%, compared to 'up to +1%' previously;
HTU shipment volume within the lower half of the company's previous 125-to-130-billion-unit range (compared to around the middle of the range previously), reflecting the impact of a further delayed market launch in Taiwan, very limited growth in Russia and Ukraine, as well as some uncertainty related to inventory levels in the Europe Region, as trade partners adjust to the upcoming HTU flavor ban in the EU;
Nicotine pouch shipment volume of 390 to 410 million cans (compared to 370 to 400 million cans previously), reflecting the continued outstanding growth of ZYN in the U.S.;
A cigarette shipment volume decline of approximately 1.0% to 2.0%, compared to 1.5% to 2.5% previously;
Net revenue growth of around 8.0% on an organic basis, compared to approximately 7.5% to 8.5% previously;
An adjusted operating income margin decline of 50 to 150 basis points on an organic basis, with the decline likely toward the upper (150 basis point) end of the range, notably due to the factors outlined in PMI's second-quarter 2023 results on July 20, 2023;
Incremental investments to drive future growth, including the commercialization of ILUMA and around $150 million with a broadly even split between the U.S. and the Wellness and Healthcare segment;
Wellness and Healthcare segment net revenues of around $300 million (including smoking cessation products), with an adjusted operating loss of around $150 million, primarily due to investments in research and development;
No contribution from any potential favorable court ruling related to the legality of a supplemental tax surcharge on HTUs in Germany, which went into effect in 2022 (see PMI's first-quarter 2023 press release from April 20, 2023, for additional detail). PMI currently expects to have greater visibility on the outcome around the end of the year;
The contribution of the company's operations in Russia and Ukraine for the entire year;
Full-year amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles of $0.68 per share, which includes amortization related to the Swedish Match acquisition based on preliminary purchase price allocation that may be subject to change;
A full year’s net positive earnings contribution from Swedish Match including related interest expense, with Swedish Match included in PMI's organic performance as of November 11, 2023;
Net financing costs of around $1.1 billion, compared to $1.2 billion previously;
An effective tax rate, excluding discrete tax events, of approximately 20.5% to 21.5%;
Operating cash flow of around $10 billion at prevailing exchange rates, subject to year-end working capital requirements;
Capital expenditures of approximately $1.3 billion, partly reflecting increased investments behind smoke-free product manufacturing capacity, including for ILUMA consumables and Swedish Match's portfolio; and
No share repurchases in 2023.

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

War in Ukraine

In Ukraine, PMI's main priority remains the safety and security of its employees and their families in the country. The company continues commercial activities in select locations where safety allows, in order to provide product availability and service to adult consumers, and supplies the market from production centers outside Ukraine, as well as through a contract manufacturing arrangement. Production at the company's factory in Kharkiv remains suspended. On June 20, 2023, PMI announced the investment of $30 million in a new production facility in the Lviv region, in Western Ukraine. Preparatory work for the facility began in July 2023 and production is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2023, PMI's Ukrainian operations had approximately $0.5 billion in total assets, excluding intercompany balances.

PMI is continuously assessing the evolving situation in Russia. This includes recent regulatory constraints in the market entailing very complex terms and conditions that must be met for any divestment transaction to be granted approval by the authorities, and restrictions resulting from international regulations. As of September 30, 2023, PMI's Russian operations had approximately $2.4 billion in total assets, excluding intercompany balances, of which approximately $0.7 billion consisted of cash and equivalents held mostly in local currency (Russian rubles).

Third-Quarter

PMI's total cigarette and HTU shipment volume increased by 2.2%, reflecting an 18.0% increase in HTU shipments across all regions, partly offset by a 0.5% decline in cigarette shipments (due to the Europe Region, the EA, AU & PMI DF Region and the Americas Region, partially offset by the SSEA, CIS & MEA Region). Cigarette shipment volume for Marlboro decreased by 1.6% to 63.0 billion units, due primarily to the Philippines.

PMI’s total oral product shipment volume increased by +100%, driven by the Swedish Match acquisition. On a pro forma basis (including Swedish Match in all periods), it increased by 19.4%, primarily reflecting growth in nicotine pouches (particularly in the U.S.), partly offset by a decline for snus (mainly in Scandinavia). Swedish Match's total oral product shipment volume increased by 20.5% versus its corresponding shipments in the third quarter of 2022.

Impact of Inventory Movements

Excluding the net favorable impact of estimated distributor inventory movements (primarily driven by HTUs), PMI’s total in-market sales for cigarettes and HTUs increased by 0.8%, reflecting 10.2% growth for HTUs, partly offset by a decline of 0.7% for cigarettes. The net favorable impact of estimated distributor inventory movements for HTUs was driven primarily by Japan (primarily reflecting the shift from air to sea freight).

Adjusted in-market sales for HTUs increased by 14.4%, including growth in Europe of 16.1%, Japan of 11.7% and limited growth in Russia and Ukraine; excluding these two markets, adjusted in-market sales for HTUs increased by 15.7%.

Nine Months Year-to-Date

PMI's total cigarette and HTU shipment volume increased by 1.5%, reflecting an 18.3% increase in HTU shipments across all regions, partly offset by a 1.3% decline in cigarette shipments (due to the Europe, EA, AU & PMI DF, and Americas Regions, partly offset by the SSEA, CIS & MEA Region). Cigarette shipment volume for Marlboro decreased by 2.3% to 179.8 billion units, due primarily to the Philippines.

PMI’s total oral product shipment volume increased by +100%, driven by the Swedish Match acquisition. On a pro forma basis (including Swedish Match in all periods), it increased by 14.4%, primarily reflecting the same factors as in the quarter. Swedish Match's total oral product shipment volume increased by 15.4% versus its corresponding shipments in the first nine months of 2022.

Impact of Inventory Movements

Excluding the net favorable impact of estimated distributor inventory movements (primarily driven by HTUs), PMI’s total in-market sales for cigarettes and HTUs increased by 0.9%, reflecting 12.8% growth for HTUs, partly offset by a decline of 1.1% for cigarettes. The net favorable impact of estimated distributor inventory movements for HTUs was driven primarily by Japan (partly reflecting a favorable comparison due to HTU capacity constraints in the prior year period), partially offset by Italy.

Adjusted in-market sales for HTUs increased by 15.2%, including growth in Europe of 19.3% and Japan of 14.9%. Excluding Russia and Ukraine, adjusted in market sales for HTUs increased by 17.9%.

Adjusted net revenues increased by 7.7% on an organic basis, mainly reflecting: a favorable pricing variance, primarily driven by higher combustible tobacco pricing, partly offset by lower HTU (net) pricing; and favorable volume/mix, mainly driven by higher HTU volume and favorable cigarette mix, partially offset by lower cigarette volume and unfavorable HTU mix; partly offset by lower fees for certain distribution rights billed to customers in certain markets, shown in "Cost/Other."

Adjusted operating income increased by 2.4% on an organic basis, mainly reflecting: the favorable pricing variance; partly offset by higher marketing, administration and research costs (primarily due to inflationary impacts, notably related to wages, and lower commercial investments in the prior year period); higher manufacturing costs (primarily due to inflationary impacts, notably related to direct materials, tobacco leaf and energy, partly offset by productivity); and the impact of lower fees for certain distribution rights, as noted for net revenues. Volume/mix was slightly unfavorable, mainly reflecting lower cigarette volume, as well as unfavorable HTU and cigarette mix, largely offset by higher HTU volume.

Nicotine pouch shipment volume increased by 50.3% compared to Swedish Match's September year-to-date 2022 shipment volume of 195.4 million cans, reflecting 55.9% growth for ZYN in the U.S. In Scandinavia, shipment volume for nicotine pouches grew by 7.1%.

Shipment volume for snus declined by 12.4% compared to Swedish Match's September year-to-date 2022 shipment volume of 191.7 million cans.

Swedish Match's performance in the September year-to-date period primarily reflected the same factors as in the quarter, coupled with the impact of excise tax and price increases on snus in Scandinavia in the first quarter (including related inventory movements).

Financial Summary

The segment's third-quarter results include the impact of financial statement presentation reclassifications recorded on a year-to-date basis primarily associated with the alignment of accounting policies related to the company's post-acquisition evaluation of sales incentives, excise taxes and acquired contracts. Net revenues were unfavorably impacted by these reclassifications, some of which are associated with the first and second quarter of 2023. These reclassifications are not material to the condensed consolidated results of the current period or the period in which they relate.

PMI recorded net revenues of $1.8 billion in the Swedish Match segment in the September year-to-date period, with smoke-free products accounting for over 80% of the segment's total net revenues. Compared to Swedish Match's 2022 results for the same period, net revenues increased by 18.1%, excluding currency and the impact of accounting reclassifications. This was mainly driven by the strong growth of smoke-free products, led by nicotine pouch volume growth in the U.S., as well as higher pricing for cigars.

PMI recorded adjusted operating income of $889 million in the segment, reflecting an adjusted operating income margin of 49.0%.

Philip Morris International: Delivering a Smoke-Free Future

Philip Morris International (PMI) is a leading international tobacco company working to deliver 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. Since 2008, PMI has invested more than USD 10.5 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. In November 2022, PMI acquired Swedish Match – a leader in oral nicotine delivery – creating a global smoke-free champion led by the companies’ IQOS and ZYN brands. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized versions of PMI’s IQOS Platform 1 devices and consumables and Swedish Match’s General snus as Modified Risk Tobacco Products. As of September 30, 2023, PMI's smoke-free products were available for sale in 82 markets, and PMI estimates that approximately 19.7 million adults around the world had already switched to IQOS and stopped smoking. Smoke-free products accounted for approximately 36.2% of PMI’s total third-quarter 2023 net revenues. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI announced in February 2021 its ambition to expand into wellness and healthcare areas and, through its Vectura Fertin Pharma business, aims to enhance life through the delivery of seamless health experiences.

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; and 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: excise tax increases and discriminatory tax structures; increasing marketing and regulatory restrictions that could reduce our competitiveness, eliminate our ability to communicate with adult consumers, or ban certain of our products in certain markets or countries; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco use and intellectual property; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; the impact and consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; the impact of COVID-19 on PMI's business; lost revenues as a result of counterfeiting, contraband and cross-border purchases; governmental investigations; unfavorable currency exchange rates and currency devaluations, and limitations on the ability to repatriate funds; adverse changes in applicable corporate tax laws; adverse changes in the cost, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as components and materials 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 its attempts to produce and commercialize reduced-risk 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, enter new markets or improve its margins through increased prices and productivity gains; if it is unable to expand its brand portfolio internally or through acquisitions and the development of strategic business relationships; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent, including women or diverse candidates; 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 reduced-risk product category's 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, 2022, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, 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 October 19, 2023, and at www.pmi.com/2023Q3earnings. 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, 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, asset impairment and exit 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.
