Summary

Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) reported mixed results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net revenues saw a slight increase of 1.3% to $23.6 billion, driven by favorable pricing and growth in Reduced-Risk Products (RRPs), particularly Heated Tobacco Units (HTUs). However, net earnings attributable to PMI decreased by 5.2% to $6.7 billion, impacted by increased costs related to the war in Ukraine, higher amortization and impairment charges on intangibles, and significant costs associated with the Swedish Match acquisition offer. The company is actively managing its exit from the Russian market and temporarily suspending operations in Ukraine. Despite a challenging geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, PMI is progressing with its strategic shift towards a smoke-free future. The company highlighted continued growth in its RRP portfolio, with shipment volumes increasing by 10.9% for HTUs. The announced agreement with Altria to end the U.S. commercial relationship for IQOS by April 2024, allowing PMI full U.S. commercialization rights for IQOS, is a significant development. The proposed acquisition of Swedish Match is on track for a Q4 2022 closing, pending regulatory approvals, which is expected to further diversify PMI's product offerings.
