Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) reported its first quarter 2023 financial results, showing a net revenue of $8.0 billiona, a 3.5% increase year-over-year.
This growth was primarily driven by favorable pricing across its product portfolio, particularly in combustible tobacco, and strong performance in smoke-free products. Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) stood at $1.28b, a decrease from $1.50 in the prior year quarter, impacted by a combination of factors including higher marketing, administration, and research costs, asset impairment and exit costs related to e-vapor manufacturing optimization, and unfavorable currency movements. The company continues its strategic shift towards smoke-free products, with smoke-free net revenues increasing by 14.5% to $2.8 billion.
The acquisition of Swedish Match has significantly boosted the oral nicotine product category, with Swedish Match contributing $581 millionc in net revenues and $193 million in operating income in its first consolidated quarter. Despite these revenue gains, the company faced increased operating expenses and interest expenses related to the Swedish Match acquisition, impacting profitability.
