STAMFORD - 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.

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.'
