PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL INC. (PMI) REPORTS 2018 FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS;
INCREASES, PRIMARILY TO REFLECT A LOWER EFFECTIVE TAX RATE, 2018 FULL-YEAR REPORTED DILUTED EPS, REFLECTING CURRENCY-NEUTRAL GROWTH OF APPROXIMATELY 8% TO 11% VS. 2017 ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS OF $4.72

Cigarette and heated tobacco unit shipment volume of 173.8 billion, down by 2.3%, or by 1.1% excluding the net impact of total estimated inventory movements, reflecting:
Cigarette shipment volume of 164.3 billion units, down by 9.3 billion units or 5.3%
Heated tobacco unit shipment volume of 9.6 billion units, up by 5.1 billion units versus 2017
Net revenues of $6.9 billion, up by 13.7%

2018 Full-Year Forecast
PMI increases, primarily to reflect a lower effective tax rate, its 2018 full-year reported diluted earnings per share forecast to be in a range of $5.25 to $5.40, at prevailing exchange rates, representing a projected increase of approximately 35% to 39% versus reported diluted earnings per share of $3.88 in 2017.
Excluding a favorable currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of approximately $0.16, the forecast range represents a projected increase of approximately 8% to 11% versus adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.72 in 2017 as detailed in the attached Schedule 2.
This forecast assumes:
Currency-neutral net revenue growth of approximately 8.0%;
Operating cash flow of over $9.0 billion;
Capital expenditures of approximately $1.7 billion;





A full-year effective tax rate of approximately 26%; and
No share repurchases.
This forecast excludes the impact of any future acquisitions, unanticipated asset impairment and exit cost charges, future changes in currency exchange rates, further developments related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and any unusual events. Factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections.
2018 FIRST-QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
NEW YORK, April 19, 2018 – Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today announced its 2018 first-quarter results.
"We began the year with strong, currency-neutral net revenue growth of more than 8% in the quarter, driven by higher volume for heated tobacco units and IQOS devices coupled with higher pricing from our combustible product portfolio," said André Calantzopoulos, Chief Executive Officer.
"Our increased full-year EPS guidance reflects the benefit of a lower effective tax rate and incorporates, at this early stage in the year, some caution regarding: on-going volume challenges in the GCC; the pricing environment in Russia; and less-rapid-than-initially-projected growth in sales of devices to consumers in Japan in the first quarter, as we are now reaching more conservative adult smoker segments that may require, at least at first, slightly more time for adoption. Even if this temporary dynamic in Japan persists, we remain on track to double our worldwide in-market sales of heated tobacco units compared to 2017."
"We are confident in our ability to deliver strong results this year and remain steadfast in our commitment to generously reward our shareholders."

Conference Call
A conference call, hosted by Martin King, Chief Financial Officer, will be webcast at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 19, 2018. Access is at www.pmi.com/2018Q1earnings. The audio webcast may also be accessed on iOS or Android devices by downloading PMI’s free Investor Relations Mobile Application at www.pmi.com/irapp.

Impact of U.S. Tax Reform            
PMI's 2018 full-year diluted earnings per share forecast assumes a full-year effective tax rate of approximately 26%. The reduction in this rate compared to the full-year effective tax rate of 28% communicated in February 2018 mainly reflects two factors:
further analysis and interpretation of the scope and impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), primarily related to foreign tax credit limitations due to the Act's Global Intangible Low Taxed Income provisions; and
revised foreign income tax estimates due to a change in the mix of our foreign earnings.
The Act has significant complexity, and our final full-year effective tax rate may differ from this assumption, due to, among other things, additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service, related interpretations and clarifications of tax law, and earnings mix by taxing jurisdiction.
Dividends
During the quarter, PMI declared a regular quarterly dividend of $1.07, representing an annualized rate of $4.28 per common share.

Key Terms, Definitions and Explanatory Notes
General
"PMI" refers to Philip Morris International Inc. and its subsidiaries. Trademarks and service marks that are the registered property of, or licensed by, the subsidiaries of PMI, are italicized.
Comparisons are made to the same prior-year period unless otherwise stated.
Unless otherwise stated, references to total industry, total market, PMI shipment volume and PMI market share performance reflect cigarettes and heated tobacco units.
[NEW] Key market data regarding total market size, PMI shipments and market share can be found in Appendix 1 provided with this press release.
References to total international market, defined as worldwide cigarette and heated tobacco unit volume excluding the United States, total industry, total market and market shares are PMI estimates for tax-paid products based on the latest available data from a number of internal and external sources and may, in defined instances, exclude the People's Republic of China and/or PMI's duty free business.
"OTP" is defined as "other tobacco products," primarily roll-your-own and make-your-own cigarettes, pipe tobacco, cigars and cigarillos, and does not include reduced-risk products.
"Combustible products" is the term PMI uses to refer to cigarettes and OTP, combined.
"Total shipment volume" is defined as the combined total of cigarette shipment volume and heated tobacco unit shipment volume.
[NEW] Effective January 1, 2018, PMI began managing its business in six reporting segments as follows: the European Union Region (EU); the Eastern Europe Region (EE); the Middle East & Africa Region (ME&A), which includes PMI Duty Free; the South & Southeast Asia Region (S&SA); the East Asia & Australia Region (EA&A); and the Latin America & Canada Region (LA&C).
"North Africa" is defined as Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia.
[NEW] "The GCC" (Gulf Cooperation Council) is defined as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Financial
[NEW] Net revenues related to combustible products refer to the operating revenues generated from the sale of these products, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, net of sales and promotion incentives, and excise taxes. PMI recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer, typically either upon shipment or delivery of goods.
[NEW] PMI has adopted Accounting Standard Update ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. PMI made an accounting policy election to exclude excise taxes collected from customers from the measurement of the transaction price, thereby presenting revenues, net of excise taxes in all periods. The underlying principles of the new standard, relating to the measurement of revenue and the timing of recognition, are closely aligned with PMI's current business model and practices.
[NEW] PMI adopted Accounting Standard Update ASU 2017-07 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits" as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. Previously, total pension and other employee benefit costs were included in operating income. Beginning January 1, 2018, only the service cost component is required to be shown in operating income, while all other cost components are presented in a new line item “pension and other employee benefit costs" below operating income.
[NEW] Prior to 2018, management evaluated business segment performance, and allocated resources, based on operating companies income, or OCI. Effective January 1, 2018, management began evaluating business segment performance, and allocating resources, based on operating income, or OI.
[NEW] "Cost of sales" consists principally of: tobacco leaf, non-tobacco raw materials, labor and manufacturing costs; shipping and handling costs; and the cost of IQOS devices produced by third-party electronics manufacturing service providers.  Estimated costs associated with IQOS warranty programs are generally provided for in cost of sales in the period the related revenues are recognized.
[NEW] "Marketing, administration and research costs" include the costs of marketing and selling our products, other costs generally not related to the manufacture of our products (including general corporate expenses), and costs incurred to develop new products. The most significant components of our marketing, administration and research costs are marketing and sales expenses and general and administrative expenses.

- -3 -


[NEW] "Cost/Other" in the Financial Summary table of total PMI and the six reporting segments of this release reflects the currency-neutral variances of: cost of sales (excluding the volume/mix cost component); marketing, administration and research costs; asset impairment and exit costs; and amortization of intangibles.
[NEW] "Adjusted Operating Income Margin" is calculated as adjusted operating income, divided by net revenues.
[NEW] "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity (income)/loss in unconsolidated subsidiaries, excluding asset impairment and exit costs, and unusual items.
"Net debt" is defined as total debt, less cash and cash equivalents.
[NEW] Management reviews net revenues, OI, OI margins, 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.
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. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see the relevant schedules provided with this press release.

Reduced-Risk Products
"Reduced-risk products," or "RRPs," is the term PMI uses to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continued smoking.  PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Because PMI's RRPs do not burn tobacco, they produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
[NEW] IQOS is a precisely controlled heating device into which a specially designed and proprietary tobacco unit is inserted and heated to generate an aerosol.
"Heated tobacco units," or "HTUs," is the term PMI uses to refer to heated tobacco consumables, which include the company's HEETS, HEETS Marlboro and HEETS FROM MARLBORO, defined collectively as HEETS, as well as Marlboro HeatSticks and Parliament HeatSticks.
[NEW] Net revenues related to RRPs represent the sale of heated tobacco units, IQOS devices and related accessories, and other nicotine-containing products, primarily e-vapor products, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, net of sales and promotion incentives, and excise taxes. PMI recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer, typically either upon shipment or delivery of goods.

During the quarter, net revenues, excluding favorable currency, increased by 8.3%, driven by a favorable pricing variance from across all Regions, notably S&SA and LA&C, including higher IQOS device sales, mainly in EA&A, as well as favorable volume/mix, driven primarily by EA&A, despite the impact of the tax-driven cigarette industry volume decline and related down-trading in the GCC, principally Saudi Arabia.    
Operating income, excluding favorable currency, decreased by 2.7%, mainly due to: unfavorable volume/mix, largely due to the GCC, principally Saudi Arabia; higher marketing, administration and research costs, primarily reflecting increased investment behind reduced-risk products, predominantly in the EU; and the full-year contribution of $80 million to the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World; partly offset by a favorable pricing variance across all Regions and favorable manufacturing costs, notably in S&SA and EA&A.
Adjusted operating income margin, excluding currency, decreased by 4.0 points to 35.8%, reflecting the factors mentioned above, as detailed in the attached Schedule 6.

Philip Morris International: Who We Are
We are a leading international tobacco company engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes and other nicotine-containing products in markets outside the United States of America.  We’re building our future on smoke-free products that are a much better consumer choice than continuing to smoke cigarettes.  Through multidisciplinary capabilities in product development, state-of-the-art facilities and scientific substantiation, we aim to ensure that our smoke-free products meet adult consumer preferences and rigorous regulatory requirements. Our vision is that these products ultimately replace cigarettes to the benefit of adult smokers, society, our company and our shareholders.  For more information, see www.pmi.com and www.pmiscience.com.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This press release contains projections of future results and other forward-looking statements. 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; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco use; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; changes in adult smoker behavior; 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 and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials; and the integrity of its information systems. 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; or if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent.
PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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.

Philip Morris International Inc.
2018 First-Quarter Results Conference Call
April 19, 2018



NICK ROLLI

(SLIDE 1.)


Welcome. Thank you for joining us. Earlier today, we issued a press release containing detailed information on our 2018 first-quarter results. You may access the release on www.pmi.com or the PMI Investor Relations App.

(SLIDE 2.)


A glossary of terms, including the definition for reduced-risk products, or "RRPs," as well as adjustments, other calculations and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are at the end of today’s webcast slides, which are posted on our website.

As a reminder, effective January 1, 2018, we began managing our business in six reporting segments reflecting a new regional structure. Three years of historical data reflecting the new structure are available on our website and in the Form 8-K that we submitted to the SEC on March 23rd.

Please also note that we are now using operating income to evaluate business segment performance and allocate resources, replacing operating companies income, or "OCI," which was used prior to January 1, 2018. OCI was defined as operating income, excluding general corporate expenses and the amortization of intangibles, plus equity (income)/loss in unconsolidated subsidiaries, net.

(SLIDE 3.)


Today’s remarks contain forward-looking statements and projections of future results. I direct your attention to the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements disclosure in today’s presentation and press release for a review of the various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or forward-looking statements.

It’s now my pleasure to introduce Martin King, our Chief Financial Officer.

Martin.

MARTIN KING

(SLIDE 4.)


Thank you, Nick, and welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

As announced this morning, we are increasing our 2018 reported diluted EPS guidance, at prevailing exchange rates, by five cents to a range of $5.25 to $5.40. The change reflects a lower estimated full-year effective tax rate of approximately 26%.

Our guidance includes 16 cents of favorable currency, at prevailing exchange rates. Excluding currency, our guidance represents a growth rate of approximately 8% to 11% compared to our adjusted diluted EPS of $4.72 in 2017.

(SLIDE 5.)


The reduction in our estimated effective tax rate for 2018 to approximately 26%, versus the 28% that we had previously communicated, is driven by two main factors:

1.
Further analysis and interpretation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act , primarily related to foreign tax credit limitations due to the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income provisions of the Act; and
2.
Revised foreign income tax estimates due to a change in the mix of our foreign earnings.

I must caveat that this estimate reflects our current capital structure, as well as our current interpretation of the new tax law, which may change as further regulations and clarifications become available. It also reflects current assumptions regarding earnings mix and tax rates by taxing jurisdiction, which may also change.

(SLIDE 6.)


Our revised guidance also incorporates some caution related to the evolution over the balance of the year of three elements -- which I will cover in more detail later in my remarks -- namely:

the timing of price increases in Russia, although the start to the year has been encouraging;
slower-than-initially-projected RRP category growth in Japan during the quarter -- given the phenomenal category evolution, we are now reaching different socio-economic strata with more conservative adult smokers who may have slightly slower patterns of adoption; and
the pace of recovery of cigarette industry volume and our market share in the GCC, particularly Saudi Arabia.


2




Consequently, we have not passed through the full benefit of the lower estimated tax rate to our 2018 guidance at this early stage of the year, but will monitor how these dynamics and our related initiatives progress as the year unfolds.

Our revised guidance reflects currency-neutral net revenue growth of around 8%.

(SLIDE 7.)


Turning to our first-quarter results, we recorded strong currency-neutral net revenue growth of 8.3%, driven by higher volume for heated tobacco units and IQOS devices across IQOS markets, coupled with higher pricing for our combustible tobacco portfolio across all Regions, notably South & Southeast Asia and Latin America & Canada.
 
(SLIDE 8.)


Adjusted operating income declined by 2.7%, excluding currency, mainly due to the following three factors, which André outlined previously during our year-end call in February:

the impact of the tax-driven cigarette industry volume decline, as well as the related down-trading and our corresponding market share decrease, in the GCC, principally Saudi Arabia;
higher RRP investments, primarily in the EU Region; and
our full-year 2018 contribution of $80 million to the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World, which was expensed entirely in the first quarter.

(SLIDE 9.)


Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.00 declined by 1.0%, excluding three cents of favorable currency.

(SLIDE 10.)


Our reported diluted EPS in the quarter came in 13 cents above the $0.87 forecast that we provided in February.

Underpinned by our strong business performance, this better-than-anticipated result was helped by the lower effective tax rate, as well as the timing of certain RRP investments. Nevertheless, our projection of net incremental investment behind RRPs of approximately $600 million in 2018 remains unchanged.

(SLIDE 11.)


Combined cigarette and heated tobacco unit shipment volume declined by 2.3% in the first quarter, or by 1.1%, excluding estimated inventory movements, primarily in Japan and Saudi Arabia.


3




The decline was principally due to lower cigarette industry volume, notably in Japan, Russia and Saudi Arabia, partly offset by strong growth in heated tobacco unit volume, particularly in Japan and Korea.

For the full-year, we continue to anticipate a combined shipment volume decline of around 2%, compared to an industry volume decline of 2% to 3%, on the same basis.

(SLIDE 12.)


Heated tobacco unit volume is growing rapidly across launch geographies.

In Japan, we lifted the IQOS device sales restriction during the first quarter of 2018. We observed, however, that device sales were slower than our ambitious expectations. This was due to still limited awareness of IQOS's increased availability and, more importantly, to the fact that we were reaching -- earlier in the year than we had anticipated -- the more conservative consumers, especially the age 50+ smoker segment, which represents approximately 40% of the total adult smoker population.

In general, these consumers are likely to display, at least initially, a slower pace in entering the RRP category -- that is, they are less likely to be in the "Innovators" and "Early Adopters" groups shown on this chart. Instead, they are relatively overrepresented in the "Late Majority" and "Laggard" groups, which are larger in size. This is common with any new product category, and especially RRPs, and IQOS in particular, given their phenomenal speed of growth in Japan.

We are therefore adjusting our commercial plans in terms of the timing, intensity and content of communication to specifically address the needs of these adult smokers. In parallel, we are strengthening our loyalty programs for existing IQOS users as competition intensifies.

However, this temporary dynamic may affect our full-year total heated tobacco unit shipment volume, which we have cautiously reflected in our revised guidance.

IQOS continued to record strong heated tobacco category share in Japan in the quarter, at an estimated 80%, and is the undisputed iconic RRP brand. In fact, as the availability of competitive RRP products has increased, there has naturally been experimentation by certain IQOS users -- especially "Innovators" and "Early Adopters" -- with competitive products. This has also been due to the IQOS device sales restriction. However, only an estimated 1% of converted IQOS users fully switch to these competitive products. This is remarkable, particularly given the premium positioning of IQOS, and is a testament to its potential.

Before closing on this topic, I think it is important to highlight the underlying growth in heated tobacco unit demand. Even if the aforementioned dynamic persists, we remain on track to double our worldwide in-market sales of heated tobacco units compared to 2017.



4




(SLIDE 13.)


Moving to our market share performance, total international share, excluding China and the U.S., increased by 0.4 points in the quarter, driven by higher share for our heated tobacco brands, which were up by one full share point to 1.5%.

Over half of the 0.6 point share decline for our cigarette portfolio was due to Saudi Arabia, where the decrease in cigarette industry volume and related down-trading put pressure on the shares of both Marlboro and L&M.

(SLIDE 14.)


I will now discuss a few of our key geographies, beginning with the EU Region.

Total industry volume declined by 4.1% in the first quarter, or by 3.4% excluding estimated inventory movements. The decline was due mainly to the impact of price increases, including sizable excise tax-driven price increases in France. For the year, we anticipate a total industry volume decline of approximately 2% to 3%, consistent with the structural decline rate.

Our total Regional market share was down by 0.2 points in the quarter, largely reflecting the impact of estimated inventory movements, partly offset by the strong growth of HEETS, which reached a Regional share of 0.8%.

As expected, Regional adjusted operating income, which declined by 15.8% on a currency-neutral basis, was heavily impacted by incremental RRP investments. For the year, we anticipate adjusted operating income growth in the low- to mid-single-digits, excluding currency.

(SLIDE 15.)


In Russia, total industry volume declined by 8.3% in the quarter, due mainly to the impact of price increases and higher illicit trade. For the full year, we expect a total industry volume decline of approximately 7%, consistent with 2017.

Quarter-to-date February cigarette market share declined by 1.1 point, primarily due to our low-price brands. Despite continued down-trading in the market, as well as adult smoker out-switching to IQOS, share for premium Marlboro increased by 0.4 points, while share for above premium Parliament was down only slightly.

We recorded a favorable pricing variance in the quarter, reflecting the annualization of 2017 price increases, as well as additional price increases earlier this year. While this is a welcome development, the pricing environment remains a watch-out, particularly after the scheduled excise tax increase in July.

(SLIDE 16.)


Turning to Saudi Arabia, cigarette industry volume remains under considerable pressure following the June 2017 excise tax-driven price increases. First-quarter

5




industry volume declined by over 40% and was impacted by a further VAT-driven price increase in January.

Our cigarette market share declined by 12.5 points, largely reflecting the impact of significant industry-wide down-trading following the price increases given the premium positioning of our portfolio vis-a-vis competitors.

We anticipate a moderation in the cigarette industry volume decline in the second half of the year, when the June 2017 price increases have been lapped. As I mentioned earlier, the market nonetheless remains a watch-out, along with the broader GCC, due to the differing stages of tax enactment.

(SLIDE 17.)


In Indonesia, cigarette industry volume declined by 2.3% in the first quarter, largely reflecting the soft consumer spending environment coupled with above-inflation excise tax-driven price increases. For the year, we continue to anticipate an industry decline of 1% to 3%.

Cigarette market share increased by 0.2 points in the quarter to 33.2%, driven by the strong performance of Marlboro Filter Black, as well as Dji Sam Soe Magnum Mild, a lighter-tasting machine-made kretek line extension from the Dji Sam Soe brand family, launched in May 2017.

(SLIDE 18.)


In the Philippines, excise tax-driven price increases drove further profit growth in the quarter.

We also recorded strong market share growth, led by Marlboro and Fortune. We are particularly pleased by Marlboro's performance following its price increase in December 2017.

We continue to be very encouraged by the outlook for profit growth in this important market.

(SLIDE 19.)


I will now turn to the performance of IQOS, beginning in Japan.

HeatSticks continued their strong sequential growth trend in the first quarter, reaching a national market share of 15.8%. This represents growth of 8.7 points and 1.9 points versus the first and fourth quarters of 2017, respectively.

(SLIDE 20.)


Looking at IQOS's performance in Sendai specifically, HeatSticks offtake share growth in the first quarter continued to drive an increase in our heated tobacco category share.


6




It is worth highlighting that the category’s share growth in the first quarter was driven primarily by IQOS.

(SLIDE 21.)


The quarterly share progression of HEETS in Korea also continues to stand out, reaching 7.3% in the first quarter. To put this performance into perspective, HEETS is now a top-5 tobacco brand in Korea less than one year after launch, with a quarterly share approaching those of our leading cigarette brands in the market, Marlboro and Parliament.

(SLIDE 22.)


Outside Japan and Korea, we continue to record strong sequential national share growth in other advanced IQOS launch markets, with first-quarter market shares ranging from 1.5% in Italy to 3.5% in Greece.

This performance demonstrates that we are successfully leveraging our learnings across markets to drive improved execution, higher IQOS awareness and strong conversion.

It is important to also remember that these national shares have been achieved despite not having a full national presence in these markets. We believe that the even higher quarterly offtake shares in focus cities -- such as 3.0% in Rome and 5.9% in Athens -- augur well for IQOS in these markets going forward.

(SLIDE 23.)


As seen on this chart, we are observing similar trends with our focus area offtake shares in IQOS launch markets that remain more targeted within a limited number of key cities.

This gives us further confidence that our investments behind the heated tobacco category are increasingly paying off.

(SLIDE 24.)


The growth of our RRP portfolio, coupled with the enduring strength of our combustible tobacco brands, is supporting strong anticipated cash generation in 2018.

For the year, we continue to target operating cash flow of over $9.0 billion. We plan to use this cash primarily for capital expenditures to support the growth of our business, and for dividends, at the Board’s discretion.

We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $1.7 billion this year, with RRP-related investment expected to account for around 60% of the total.





7




(SLIDE 25.)


We remain committed to restoring, over time, our leverage multiples to the ranges associated with our current credit rating.

Importantly, both Moody's and S&P have recently confirmed our rating, with S&P revising its outlook from "negative" to "stable."

(SLIDE 26.)


In conclusion, our first quarter results came in better than expected, with the delta compared to our February forecast driven mainly by a lower effective tax rate and the timing of certain RRP investments.

Our leading combustible tobacco portfolio continues to support strong pricing, while contributing the lion's share of our earnings and cash flow.

In parallel, IQOS is recording strong sequential quarterly share growth across launch markets, demonstrating our ability to effectively invest and apply learnings in a wide range of geographies.

Finally, the full-year outlook for our business remains strong. Our increased 2018 EPS guidance reflects a growth rate of approximately 8% to 11%, excluding currency, compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $4.72 in 2017.

(SLIDE 27.)


Thank you. I am now happy to answer your questions.


NICK ROLLI

That concludes our call today. Thank you for joining us. If you have any follow-up questions, please contact the Investor Relations team.

Thank you again and have a nice day.

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; or if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent • PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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 3


 
2018: Increasing EPS Guidance for PMI Effective Tax Rate • Increasing 2018 reported diluted EPS guidance to a range of $5.25 to $5.40 at prevailing exchange rates, compared to $3.88 in 2017: ⎼ Change reflects a lower estimated full-year effective tax rate of approximately 26% • Guidance includes 16 cents of favorable currency, at prevailing exchange rates • Ex-currency, our guidance represents a growth rate of approximately 8% to 11% compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $4.72 in 2017 4 Source: PMI Financials or estimates


 
Note: This estimate reflects our current capital structure, as well as our current interpretation of the new tax law, which may change as further regulations and clarifications become available. It also reflects current assumptions regarding earnings mix and tax rates by taxing jurisdiction, which may also change Source: PMI Financials or estimates 2018: PMI Effective Tax Rate • Reduction in our estimated effective tax rate to approximately 26% (vs. 28% previously communicated), driven by: 1. Further analysis and interpretation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, primarily related to foreign tax credit limitations due to the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income provisions of the Act 2. Revised foreign income tax estimates due to a change in the mix of our foreign earnings 5


 
2018: Revised Guidance • Revised guidance also incorporates some caution related to the evolution over the balance of the year of three elements, namely: ⎼ The timing of price increases in Russia (although the start to 2018 has been encouraging) ⎼ Slower-than-initially-projected RRP category growth in Japan during Q1, 2018 (we are now reaching different socio-economic strata with more conservative adult smokers who may have slightly slower patterns of adoption) ⎼ The pace of recovery of cigarette industry volume and our market share in the GCC (particularly Saudi Arabia) • Consequently, we have not passed through the full benefit of the lower estimated tax rate to our 2018 guidance at this early stage of the year • Revised guidance reflects currency-neutral net revenue growth of around 8% 6 Source: PMI Financials or estimates

28 Appendix, Glossary and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures


 
Glossary: General Terms • "PMI" refers to Philip Morris International Inc. and its subsidiaries • Until March 28, 2008, PMI was a wholly owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc. ("Altria"). Since that time the company has been independent and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker symbol "PM") • Trademarks are italicized • Comparisons are made to the same prior-year period unless otherwise stated • Unless otherwise stated, references to total industry, total market, PMI shipment volume and PMI market share performance reflect cigarettes and heated tobacco units • References to total international market, defined as worldwide cigarette and heated tobacco unit volume excluding the United States, total industry, total market and market shares are PMI estimates for tax-paid products based on the latest available data from a number of internal and external sources and may, in defined instances, exclude the People's Republic of China and/or PMI's duty free business • "OTP" is defined as "other tobacco products," primarily roll-your-own and make-your-own cigarettes, pipe tobacco, cigars and cigarillos, and does not include reduced-risk products • "Combustible products" is the term PMI uses to refer to cigarettes and OTP, combined • "PMI volume" is defined as the combined total of cigarette shipment volume and heated tobacco unit shipment volume • Effective January 1, 2018, PMI began managing its business in six reporting segments as follows: the European Union Region (EU); the Eastern Europe Region (EE); the Middle East & Africa Region (ME&A), which includes PMI Duty Free; the South & Southeast Asia Region (S&SA); the East Asia & Australia Region (EA&A); and the Latin America & Canada Region (LA&C) • "The GCC" (Gulf Cooperation Council) is defined as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) • "SoM" stands for share of market 29


 
Glossary: Financial Terms • Net revenues related to combustible products refer to the operating revenues generated from the sale of these products, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, net of sales and promotion incentives, and excise taxes. PMI recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer, typically either upon shipment or delivery of goods • PMI has adopted Accounting Standard Update ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. PMI made an accounting policy election to exclude excise taxes collected from customers from the measurement of the transaction price, thereby presenting revenues, net of excise taxes in all periods. The underlying principles of the new standard, relating to the measurement of revenue and the timing of recognition, are closely aligned with PMI's current business model and practices • PMI adopted Accounting Standard Update ASU 2017-07 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits" as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. Previously, total pension and other employee benefit costs were included in operating income. Beginning January 1, 2018, only the service cost component is required to be shown in operating income, while all other cost components are presented in a new line item "pension and other employee benefit costs" below operating income • Prior to 2018, management evaluated business segment performance, and allocated resources, based on operating companies income, or "OCI." Effective January 1, 2018, management began evaluating business segment performance, and allocating resources, based on operating income, or "OI" • OCI was defined as operating income, excluding general corporate expenses and the amortization of intangibles, plus equity (income)/loss in unconsolidated subsidiaries, net • "Adjusted OI margin" is calculated as adjusted OI, divided by net revenues • Management reviews net revenues, OI, OI margins, 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 30


 
Glossary: Reduced-Risk Products • "Reduced-risk products," or "RRPs," is the term PMI uses to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continued smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Because PMI's RRPs do not burn tobacco, they produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke • "Aerosol" refers to a gaseous suspension of fine solid particles and/or liquid droplets • "Combustion" is the process of burning a substance in oxygen, producing heat and often light • "Smoke" is a visible suspension of solid particles, liquid droplets and gases in air, emitted when a material burns • "IQOS" is a precisely controlled heating device into which a specially designed and proprietary tobacco unit is inserted and heated to generate an aerosol • "Heated tobacco product" is a manufactured tobacco product that delivers a nicotine containing vapor (aerosol), without combustion of the tobacco mixture • "Heated tobacco units," or "HTUs," is the term PMI uses to refer to heated tobacco consumables, which include the company's HEETS, HEETS Marlboro and HEETS FROM MARLBORO, defined collectively as HEETS, as well as Marlboro HeatSticks and Parliament HeatSticks • Heated tobacco unit "offtake volume" represents the estimated retail offtake of heated tobacco units based on a selection of sales channels that vary by market, but notably include retail points of sale and e-commerce platforms • Heated tobacco unit "offtake share" represents the estimated retail offtake volume of heated tobacco units divided by the sum of estimated total offtake volume for cigarettes, heated tobacco units and, where the data is available, other RRPs • National market share for heated tobacco units is defined as the total sales volume for heated tobacco units as a percentage of the total estimated sales volume for cigarettes and heated tobacco units • Net revenues related to RRPs represent the sale of heated tobacco units, IQOS devices and related accessories, and other nicotine- containing products, primarily e-vapor products, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, net of sales and promotion incentives, and excise taxes. PMI recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer, typically either upon shipment or delivery of goods 31
