Philip Morris International Reports 2025 Second Quarter & First Six-Months Results and Raises Full-Year Guidance; Second Quarter Reported Diluted EPS Grew 26.6% to $1.95, Adjusted Diluted EPS Grew 20.1% to $1.91, and by 18.9% excluding currency
Article content Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) today announces its 2025 second quarter results. 1 ' Our business delivered very strong results in the second quarter, with record net revenues and exceptional growth in operating income and adjusted diluted EPS, ' said Jacek Olczak, Chief Executive Officer. ' These results reflect excellent momentum in our multicategory smoke-free business, with a reacceleration of IQOS adjusted in-market sales growth and ZYN U.S. offtake growth, coupled with combustibles resilience. Given our strong year-to-date performance, we are raising our full-year guidance. ' Article content _____________________________ 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, 2025, and at Article content Smoke-free business (SFB): Our smoke-free business accounted for 41% of total net revenues (up by 2.9pp vs. Q2 last year) and over 42% of total gross profit (up by 3.8pp vs. Q2 last year). Our smoke-free products are now available in 97 markets, nearly half of which have at least two of our three flagship brands (IQOS, ZYN and VEEV) available for sale, including 20 markets with all three. Our SFB continues to deliver superior performance, with shipment volumes up by 11.8%, net revenues growing by 15.2% (14.5% organically) and gross profit increasing by 23.3% (21.5% organically). Inhalable smoke-free products (SFP): Our international smoke-free portfolio is centered on IQOS, which exceeded 3 billion dollars in quarterly net revenues. It continues to strengthen its overall position as the second largest nicotine 'brand' in markets where present (gaining 1.0pp of combined cigarette and HTU industry volumes to reach 9.2% share) and is driving the growth of the global heat-not-burn category, where PMI holds approximately 76% volume share. HTU adjusted in-market sales (IMS) volume, which excludes the net impact of estimated distributor and wholesaler inventory movements, reaccelerated back to double-digit growth of 11.4%, driven by our commercial initiatives, and notable improvement in Europe as the impact of the characterizing flavor ban subsides in affected markets. In Japan, IQOS reached over 10 million legal-age consumers. IQOS HTU adjusted market share increased by 2.3pp to 31.7% with both TEREA and SENTIA further strengthening their #1 and #3 positions, notwithstanding increased competitive intensity. Adjusted IMS grew by an estimated 7.8% against a strong prior year comparator, which included the introduction of ILUMA i. In Europe, adjusted IMS growth reaccelerated to an estimated 9.1%, with Italy a notable strong performer as well as impressive broad-based growth across markets including Germany, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Spain. This was fueled by the continued roll-out of ILUMA i and expansion of the consumables portfolio, including the further roll-out of DELIA and new variants of tobacco-free LEVIA. IQOS HTU adjusted market share increased by 1.2pp to 10.9%, with offtake share exceeding 20% in key cities of 12 markets. Outside Europe and Japan, strong adjusted IMS growth continued and offtake share increased in key cities across the globe, including Jakarta, Mexico City, Tunis, Riyadh, Kuala Lumpur, and Seoul. Following promising results of the BONDS by IQOS pilot, a broader roll-out in Indonesia has commenced in the latter half of the quarter. Article content In the e-vapor category, VEEV continued its increasingly profitable growth, and is now available in 42 markets. Shipment volumes more than doubled, driven by Europe. Within the closed pods segment, VEEV holds the #1 position in 6 European markets, including Greece and Italy. PMI remains committed to building and commercializing the brand in a focused, responsible and profitable manner, as illustrated by the recently launched innovation VEEV inPrime, which offers superior consumer experience and an optimized pod cost. Article content Oral SFP: Shipment volume increased by 23.8% in pouch or pouch equivalents (26.5% in cans), fueled by nicotine pouches, which more than doubled outside the U.S. and Nordics, and in the U.S. grew by over 40% to 190 million cans. In the U.S., ZYN reaccelerated its offtake growth to approximately 36% in June, and 26% in Q2 overall as measured by Nielsen. This reflects the strength of the brand as in-store availability improved and legal-age consumers regain access to the full ZYN portfolio offering. Restocking was effectively completed in the first-half, with the estimated impact slightly lower than initially expected. To further grow the brand and nicotine pouch category overall, commercial activities were reaccelerated towards the end of the quarter. The growth of the international nicotine pouch business was fueled by strong offtake and geographic expansion. The category is nascent in the majority of markets and our focus is on switching legal-age smokers with a relevant product portfolio. Global Travel Retail, Pakistan, the UK, South Africa, Mexico and Poland delivered strong performances. Following further launches, ZYN is now available in 44 markets. Combustibles: Notwithstanding the expected return to volume declines, net revenues grew by 2.1% (up 2.0% organically) fueled by strong pricing, partly offset by negative mix dynamics. This drove another quarter of robust gross profit growth of 5.0% (4.8% organically). Marlboro continues to gain market share, achieving its highest quarterly market share since the 2008 spin. Our overall cigarette category share was broadly stable. Article content Performance Highlights – First Six Months 2025 Article content Reported diluted EPS is forecast to be in a range of $7.24 to $7.37, at prevailing exchange rates, versus reported diluted EPS of $4.52 in 2024. Excluding a total 2025 adjustment of $0.19 per share, this forecast represents a projected increase of 13% to 15% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $6.57 in 2024. Also excluding a favorable currency impact of $0.10, at prevailing exchange rates, this forecast represents a projected increase of 11.5% to 13.5% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $6.57 in 2024, as outlined in the above table. Article content 2025 Full-Year Forecast Assumptions Article content This forecast assumes: Article content An estimated total international industry volume decline of around 1% for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding China and the U.S.; Total cigarette and smoke-free product shipment volume growth for PMI of around 1%. We continue to expect smoke-free product volume growth of 12% to 14%, partly offset by cigarette volume declines which we now forecast to be around 2%. SFP volume growth continues to assume absolute growth in HTU adjusted IMS volumes at a similar level to 2024, translating into 10% to 12% growth, with the HTU shipment growth rate broadly in line subject to shipment timing and trade inventory movements, and U.S. nicotine pouch shipment volume of 800 to 840 million cans; Net revenue growth of around 6% to 8% on an organic basis; Organic operating income growth of 11% to 12.5%; Full-year amortization of acquired intangibles of $0.50 per share, including the amortization of IQOS commercialization rights in the U.S. related to the agreement to end our commercial relationship with Altria Group, Inc. covering IQOS in the U.S.; An effective tax rate, excluding discrete tax events, of approximately 22% to 23%; Operating cash flow of approximately $11.5 billion at prevailing exchange rates, subject to year-end working capital requirements; Capital expenditures of around $1.6 billion, almost entirely due to investments supporting the smoke-free business; Further net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improvement as we continue to target a ratio of around 2x by the end of 2026; No dividend income from Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc., our deconsolidated Canadian affiliate; No share repurchases in 2025; and Third quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $2.08 to $2.13, including an estimated favorable currency impact of 5 cents at prevailing exchange rates.

PMI's shipment volume increased by 1.2% with SFP volumes up by 11.8%, with all SFP categories growing strongly, and cigarette volumes down by 1.5% largely driven by Turkey and Indonesia. Net revenues increased by 6.8% on an organic basis, mainly reflecting: a favorable pricing variance due to 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 14.9% 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 market for cigarettes and HTUs decreased by 1.2% to 136.7 billion units, with a 2.8% decrease for cigarettes and continued HTU growth. Notable decreases in Poland (down by 7.8%), Ukraine (down by 7.6%), and the Netherlands (down by 23.5%) were partly offset by Germany (up by 6.5%) and Italy (up by 4.0%). PMI's shipment volume decreased by 1.7% with cigarettes down by 6.2%, including unfavorable inventory movements in France and Italy, and SFP up by 11.7%. PMI's cigarette and HTU shipment volume decreased by 2.4% to 55.1 billion units, predominantly due to decreases in France (down by 17.5%), Italy (down by 4.1%), and Poland (down by 4.6%) driven by cigarette shipments. PMI HTUs share of the total cigarette and HTU market increased by 1.2pp on an adjusted basis. Net revenues increased by 7.3% on an organic basis, reflecting a favorable pricing variance 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 13.8% on an organic basis, primarily reflecting the same factors as for net revenues. SSEA, CIS & MEA The estimated market for cigarettes and HTUs increased by 0.8% to 392.6 billion units, mainly due to Egypt (up by 17.9%), India (up by 10.5%), and Turkey (up by 4.3%), partly offset by Indonesia (down by 7.0%) and Bangladesh (down by 8.9%). PMI's shipment volume increased by 1.2% with SFP up by 14.8%, and cigarettes broadly stable. PMI's cigarette and HTU shipment volume increased by 1.1% to 95.3 billion units, with increases in India (up by 41.9%) and the Philippines (up 8.0%), partly offset by Turkey (down by 8.0% due to supply chain issues following a change in regulatory requirements) and Indonesia (down by 3.7%). PMI's HTU adjusted in-market sales volume, fueled by broad growth across the region, increased by an estimated 19.8%. Net revenues increased by 4.9% on an organic basis, primarily reflecting: a favorable pricing variance, predominantly driven by higher combustible tobacco pricing; while higher cigarette and HTU volume was offset by unfavorable cigarette mix 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 17.2% on an organic basis, primarily reflecting: a favorable pricing variance, predominantly driven by higher combustible tobacco pricing, as well as higher cigarette and HTU volume, partly offset by higher marketing, administration and research costs as well as manufacturing costs (notably tobacco leaf). East Asia, Australia & PMI Global Travel Retail The estimated market for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding China, decreased by 0.7% to 79.8 billion units, with a decrease in cigarettes largely offset by HTU growth. The decrease in the estimated market was mainly driven by Australia (down by 50.2%) and South Korea (down by 2.4%), partly offset by Global Travel Retail (up by 7.8%). PMI's shipment volume increased by 4.1% with SFP up by 7.2%, and cigarettes broadly stable. PMI's cigarette and HTU shipment volume increased by 3.6% to 28.3 billion units with growth in Global Travel Retail (up by 23.0%) and Japan (up by 2.9%), partly offset by Australia (down by 83.4% predominantly due to shipment phasing). PMI's HTU adjusted in-market sales volume increased by an estimated 9.6%. Net revenues increased by 1.6% on an organic basis, predominantly reflecting a favorable volume/mix, driven by higher smoke-free products volume. Adjusted operating income increased by 9.4% on an organic basis, driven by the same factor as for net revenues. Americas The estimated market for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding the U.S., decreased by 0.7% to 45.3 billion units, predominantly reflecting a decrease in the cigarette market. The decrease was mainly due to Canada (down by 11.3%) and Brazil (down by 1.6%), partly offset by Argentina (up by 8.3%) and Mexico (up by 3.6%). PMI's shipment volume increased by 6.2% with SFP up by 30.2%, and cigarettes up by 1.6%. PMI's cigarette and HTU shipment volume increased by 1.6% to 15.3 billion units, with increases in Argentina (up by 12.3%) and Mexico (up by 2.3%), partly offset by decreases in Brazil (down by 2.7%) and Colombia (down by 7.9%). Oral SFP shipments increased by 32.5% to 225 million cans, predominantly driven by ZYN nicotine pouches in the U.S. Net revenues increased by 17.0% on an organic basis, primarily reflecting: favorable volume/mix, predominantly driven by nicotine pouches in the U.S. Adjusted operating income increased by 26.9% on an organic basis, primarily reflecting: the same factors as for net revenues; partly offset by higher marketing, administration and research costs, including incremental U.S. investments.

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. As of June 30, 2025, our smoke-free products were available for sale in 97 markets, and 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-half 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.

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. Article content 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 and/or nicotine 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 natural disasters and pandemics 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; 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 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 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, 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 smoke-free products performance. Article content 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, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, 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. Article content Non-GAAP Measures, Glossary and Explanatory Notes Article content 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, 2025, and at 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. Article content 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.

Asian shares are mostly higher, tracking US rally into record heights
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Asian shares are mostly higher after U.S. stocks added to their records with the close of a second straight winning month. U.S. futures and oil prices were lower. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 1.2% to 40,003.24 despite positive results of the central bank's quarterly Tankan survey of large manufacturers, which showed an better than expected improvement in business sentiment. The Shanghai Composite index added 0.2% to 3,451.69 after China's official manufacturing purchasing managers index, or PMI, rose to a three-month high of 49.7 in June while the PMI for services and other non-manufacturing businesses also rose to a three-month high of 50.5. Hong Kong's stock market was closed on Tuesday. South Korea's KOSPI Composite Index surged 1.5% to 3,117.17 after the government reported that exports bounced back in June, helped by strong demand for semiconductors, ships and health products. 'Automobile and automotive parts exports also gained. Strong electric vehicle exports to the EU and solid used-car exports partially offset the decline of U.S. exports. However, we expect auto exports to remain soft due to tariffs and increased production in the U.S.,' Min Joo Kang of ING Economics said in a report. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged up 0.1% to 8,550.80. The PSEi in Manila, Philippines, rose 0.2%. On Monday, Wall Street resumed its upward climb. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% to 6,204.95. It has staged a stunning recovery from its springtime sell-off of roughly 20%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.6% to 44,094.77, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.5% to 20,369.73. Stocks got a boost after Canada said it would rescind a planned tax on U.S. technology firms and trade talks with the United States resumed. On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump had said he was suspending those talks to retaliate for the tax, calling it 'a direct and blatant attack on our country.' U.S. stocks have bounced back on hopes that Trump will reach deals with other countries to lower his painful high tariffs and avert trade wars that could stifle the economy and send inflation higher. Many of Trump's announced tariffs have been postponed and are due to kick back into effect on July 9. The U.S. stock market recovery could raise the risk Trump will resume escalating tariffs, similar to what happened in 2018-2019, according to strategists at Deutsche Bank led by Parag Thatte and Binky Chadha. On Wall Street, Oracle's 4% rise was one of the strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. CEO Safra Catz said the tech giant 'is off to a strong start' in its fiscal year and that it signed multiple large cloud services agreements, including one that could contribute over $30 billion in annual revenue two fiscal years from now. GMS' stock jumped 11.7% after the supplier of specialty building products said it agreed to sell itself to a Home Depot subsidiary in a deal that would pay $110.00 per share in cash. That would give it a total value of roughly $5.5 billion, including debt. Less than two weeks ago, another company, QXO, said it was offering to buy GMS for $95.20 per share in cash. After the announcement of the Home Depot bid, QXO's stock rose 3.9%, and Home Depot's stock slipped 0.6%. Hewlett Packard Enterprise rallied 11.1% and Juniper Networks climbed 8.4% after saying they had reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that could clear the way for their merger go through, subject to court approval. HPE is trying to buy Juniper in a $14 billion deal. Bank stocks were also solid after the Federal Reserve said on Friday that they are financially strong enough to survive a downturn in the economy. JPMorgan Chase climbed 1%, and Citigroup gained 0.9%. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. In the bond market, Treasury yields fell ahead of several major economic reports later in the week. The highlight will be Thursday's jobs report. It's often the most anticipated economic data of each month, and it will come a day earlier than usual because of Friday's Fourth of July holiday. In other dealings early Tuesday, benchmark U.S. crude oil lost 37 cents to $64.74 per barrel, while Brent crude, the international standard, fell 35 cents per barrel to $66.39. The U.S. dollar dipped to 143.86 Japanese yen from 144.04 yen. The euro rose to $1.1792 from $1.1789. ___ AP Business Writer Stan Choe contributed.
