Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure that PMI uses to represent its core earnings. PMI adjusts reported diluted EPS for items such as asset impairment and exit costs, discrete tax items, and unusual items. The company believes this measure is useful for investors as it improves comparability of financial performance across periods and helps in analyzing business trends, although it should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP-reported EPS.

No, the information presented at the Investor Day, including the press release and any website content referenced, is not automatically considered part of other SEC filings unless PMI explicitly states so in a future filing. This means that investors should not assume this information is incorporated by reference into other reports like 10-K or 10-Q filings.
