Provides 2023 EPS Forecast

Regulatory News:

Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today announces its 2022 fourth-quarter and full-year results. Growth rates presented in this press release on an organic basis reflect adjusted results, excluding currency, acquisitions and disposals. Given the impact of the War in Ukraine on the company’s operations in Russia and Ukraine in 2022, PMI is also providing figures and comparisons excluding the company’s operations in these two markets for all historical periods. To provide more clarity on the full extent of the company's business in 2023, PMI will include both Ukraine and Russia in its 2023 forecast and adjusted reporting. A glossary of key terms, definitions and explanatory notes is included at the end of this press release. Adjustments, other calculations and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included in the schedules to this press release.

2022 FULL-YEAR & FOURTH-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Full-Year

• Net revenues from smoke-free products accounted for 32.1% of total net revenues, or 31.3% excluding Russia and Ukraine. Following the acquisition of Swedish Match, PMI defines “smoke-free products” to include all Swedish Match products other than Swedish Match’s combustible tobacco products, in addition to PMI's heat-not-burn, e-vapor, oral nicotine, and wellness and healthcare products.
• Market share for heated tobacco units (HTUs) in IQOS markets up by 1.1 points to 8.0%, or by 1.4 points to 7.9% excluding Russia and Ukraine
• Increased regular quarterly dividend by 1.6% to $1.27 per share, or an annualized rate of $5.08 per share

Fourth-Quarter

• Net revenues from smoke-free products accounted for 36.0% of total net revenues, or 35.6% excluding Russia and Ukraine
• Market share for HTUs in IQOS markets up by 1.4 points to 8.5%, or up by 1.8 points to 8.5% excluding Russia and Ukraine
• Total IQOS users at quarter-end estimated at approximately 24.9 million, of which approximately 17.8 million had switched to IQOS and stopped smoking (approximately 20.3 million and 14.2 million, respectively, excluding Russia and Ukraine)

"Despite the challenging operating environment in 2022, due to the war in Ukraine, as well as supply-chain and global inflationary pressures, we delivered very strong full-year adjusted results led by the continued growth of IQOS and a robust performance in the combustible tobacco category," said Jacek Olczak, Chief Executive Officer.

"We are well on our way to becoming a majority smoke-free company, with smoke-free products accounting for almost one-third of our total net revenues for the year. With the acquisition of Swedish Match and the agreement to take full control of IQOS in the U.S. in April 2024, we achieved two important milestones in our smoke-free transformation in 2022 and are well positioned to accelerate this journey."

"We enter 2023 as a truly global smoke-free champion, with two of the industry's leading smoke-free brands, IQOS and ZYN, and continued innovation across our broader smoke-free product portfolio. For the year, we forecast organic top-line growth of 7% to 8.5% and currency-neutral adjusted diluted EPS growth of 7% to 9%, despite inflationary pressures and transitory impacts related to ILUMA deployment."

"For Swedish Match, we expect continued strong growth from the business in 2023, following a very strong finish to the year, led by ZYN in the U.S."

2022 FULL-YEAR SUMMARY

Unless otherwise noted, all references to performance in this section exclude Russia and Ukraine

Adjusted net revenues increased by 7.7% in organic terms, primarily driven by total shipment volume growth of 3.2% (marking the second consecutive year of growth), the continued favorable mix shift from cigarettes to smoke-free products, and a favorable total pricing variance.

Smoke-free product net revenues increased by 18.0% on an organic basis, mainly driven by HTU shipment volume growth of 21.5%, partly offset by lower device revenues.

Combustible tobacco product adjusted net revenues increased by 3.7% on an organic basis, driven by a favorable pricing variance of approximately 4% and a cigarette shipment volume increase of 0.8%. International cigarette category share increased by 0.3 points to 24.9% despite the impact of IQOS cannibalization, including a 0.2 point increase for Marlboro.

Adjusted operating income margin declined by 0.6 points on an organic basis, primarily reflecting lower gross margins due mainly to: (i) inflationary pressures on cost of sales, (ii) the adverse profitability impact of accelerated switching to ILUMA devices, (iii) the higher initial cost of ILUMA devices and related HTUs; and (iv) higher air freight costs due to supply chain disruptions related to the war in Ukraine. The pressures at the gross margin level were partly offset by the favorable product mix impact of growing HTU volume at higher unit margins, as well as pricing and productivities. The benefits of operating cost efficiencies and operating leverage further offset the gross margin headwinds.

Adjusted diluted EPS of $5.34 increased by 11.9%, excluding currency. Including Russia and Ukraine, adjusted diluted EPS of $5.98 increased by 10.1% on a currency-neutral basis.

2023 FULL-YEAR FORECAST

Reported diluted EPS is forecast to be in a range of $6.09 to $6.21, at prevailing exchange rates, versus reported diluted EPS of $5.81 in 2022. Excluding a total 2023 adjustment of $0.16 per share and an adverse currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of $0.15 per share, this forecast represents a projected increase of 7% to 9% versus adjusted diluted EPS of $5.98 in 2022, as outlined in the above table.

2023 Full-Year Forecast Assumptions

This forecast assumes:

• The full contribution of the company's operations in Russia and Ukraine for the entire year. In Russia, the environment for divestment has become increasingly challenging and complex (see "War in Ukraine" section on page 6). To provide more clarity on the full extent of PMI's business, the company will include both Russia and Ukraine in its 2023 forecast and adjusted reporting.
• An estimated total international industry volume decline, excluding China and the U.S., of 1% to 2%;
• A total cigarette and HTU shipment volume change for PMI of approximately flat to +1%;
• HTU shipment volume of 125 to 130 billion units, reflecting an acceleration in growth versus 2022 on a total PMI basis;
• Net revenue growth of approximately 7% to 8.5% on an organic basis;
• An adjusted operating income margin decline of 50 to 150 basis points on an organic basis, primarily reflecting:
  • continued global inflationary pressures, primarily impacting cost of sales for the combustible tobacco business (notably related to leaf, acetate tow and energy prices)
  • the continued transitory impacts associated with the ILUMA roll-out, including the margin impact of accelerated device replacements and higher initial costs of devices and consumables; and
  • 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;
  • partly offset by a positive margin impact from the favorable contribution of growing HTU volume within PMI's product mix at higher unit margins, supporting an overall positive margin contribution from the heat-not-burn business.
• Strong full-year performance for Swedish Match’s existing operations, underpinned by strong shipment volume growth for ZYN in the U.S.;
• 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 excise tax surcharge on heated tobacco units in Germany, which went into effect in 2022:
  • PMI currently accounts for the supplemental excise tax surcharge as a reduction in net revenues and a liability in its results and outlook, though the obligation to pay the surcharge is currently suspended and under court review;
  • For forecasted 2023 excise surcharges, a favorable ruling would equate, on a full-year basis, to an estimated one percentage point increase in net revenues and three percentage point increase in adjusted diluted EPS, with operating cash flow moving toward the top half of the company's corresponding assumption range outlined below;
  • PMI expects a judgment toward the end of the year;
• Full-year amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles of $0.16 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;
• Incremental net interest costs of around $200 million versus 2022 on PMI borrowings excluding Swedish Match-related financing, notably reflecting higher borrowing costs on refinanced debt;
• An effective tax rate, excluding discrete tax events, of approximately 20.5% to 21.5%;
• Operating cash flow of $10 to $11 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;
• No share repurchases in 2023;
• Top and bottom-line delivery that is second half-weighted, reflecting: certain margin pressures that are skewed to the first-half, timing factors related to shipments and cost saving, and tougher first-half comparisons versus 2022;
• First-quarter reported diluted EPS in a range of $1.28 to $1.33, including an unfavorable currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of $0.10 per share, notably reflecting: HTU shipment volume of around 26 to 28 billion units, low single-digit organic top-line growth and soft margins relative to the full year.

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

Swedish Match AB Acquisition

On November 11, 2022, Philip Morris Holland Holdings B.V. (“PMHH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of PMI, acquired a controlling interest of 85.87% of the total issued and outstanding shares in Swedish Match. Swedish Match's operating results beginning on November 11, 2022, through December 31, 2022, are included in PMI's consolidated statement of earnings and disclosed as a separate segment.

On November 28, 2022, PMHH announced that it had acquired 93.11% of the shares in Swedish Match and intended to: (i) initiate compulsory redemption under the Swedish Companies Act to acquire all remaining shares in the company; and (ii) request delisting of Swedish Match’s shares from Nasdaq Stockholm.

On December 16, 2022, Swedish Match announced that the compulsory redemption process had been initiated. On December 30, 2022, the shares of Swedish Match were delisted from Nasdaq Stockholm, by which time PMHH had become the owner of 94.81% of the company's shares.

New Regional Structure

In November 2022, PMI announced a change in the company’s regional structure -- to four regions, from six -- to further support the growth of its smoke-free business, reinforce consumer centricity, and increase the speed of innovation and deployment, all in alignment with its ambition of becoming a majority smoke-free business by net revenues by 2025. The change to its regional operations was completed in January 2023.

PMI will report its financial results based on the new regional structure as of the first quarter of 2023. In March 2023, the company plans to disclose select historical financial information for the 2020 to 2022 period based on the new regional structure.

KT&G Agreements

On January 30, 2023, PMI announced a long-term collaboration with KT&G, South Korea’s leading tobacco and nicotine manufacturer, to continue to commercialize KT&G’s innovative smoke-free devices and consumables on an exclusive, worldwide basis (excluding South Korea).

The agreement covers fifteen years, to January 29, 2038, with performance-review cycles and associated commitments, based on volume, to be confirmed for each three-year period, to allow flexibility for evolving market conditions.

The agreement gives PMI continued exclusive access to KT&G’s smoke-free brands and product-innovation pipeline, including offerings for low- and middle-income markets, that will enhance PMI’s existing portfolio of smoke-free products.

Products sold under the agreement will be subject to assessment to ensure they meet the regulatory requirements in the markets where they are launched, as well as PMI’s high standards of quality and scientific substantiation. PMI and KT&G will seek any necessary regulatory approvals that may be required on a market-by-market basis.

War in Ukraine

Since the onset of the war in Ukraine, PMI's main priority has been the safety and security of its more than 1,300 employees and their families in the country. The company has helped to evacuate more than 1,000 people from Ukraine and relocate over 2,700 others from conflict zones to locations in the country away from the heaviest fighting; provided critical aid to employees who cannot leave or who decide to remain in Ukraine; and provided those who have left the country with a range of support in neighboring countries. The company is continuing to pay salaries to all its Ukrainian employees and is also providing substantial in-kind support to them and their families. In addition, PMI has contributed approximately $10 million in funds and donated essential items across the country.

On February 25, 2022, in order to preserve the safety of its employees, PMI announced the temporary suspension of its commercial and manufacturing operations in Ukraine, including at its factory, in Kharkiv. The company subsequently resumed some retail activities where safety allowed, in order to provide product availability and service to adult consumers, and began to supply 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.

As of December 31, 2022, PMI's Ukrainian operations have approximately $0.4 billion in total assets, excluding intercompany balances.

On March 24, 2022, PMI announced the concrete steps it had taken to suspend planned investments and scale down its manufacturing operations in Russia.

PMI is continuously assessing the evolving situation in Russia, including: recent regulatory constraints in the market that entail 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 December 31, 2022, PMI's Russian operations have approximately $2.5 billion in total assets, excluding intercompany balances, of which approximately $0.6 billion consisted of cash and equivalents held mostly in local currency (Russian rubles).

PMI recorded pre-tax charges related to the war in Ukraine of approximately $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and approximately $151 million in the full year (including humanitarian efforts). This includes charges in Russia related to the cancellation of the planned launch of ILUMA and the planned production of related HTUs.
