Where can I find the actual financial results for Philip Morris International's second quarter and first half of 2024?

The specific financial results are detailed in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the accompanying financial information (Exhibit 99.2) that are incorporated by reference into this 8-K filing.

What is the significance of Exhibit 99.2?

Exhibit 99.2 provides important context for understanding the financial results. It includes a glossary of key terms, definitions, explanatory notes, select financial information, and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, which helps investors interpret the company's performance metrics.

Does this 8-K filing contain forward-looking statements or guidance?

This particular 8-K filing primarily serves to announce historical financial results for Q2 and H1 2024. Any forward-looking statements or updated financial guidance would typically be found within the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) or potentially in subsequent SEC filings.

What does it mean that the information is 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, it means the company is providing the information for public awareness, but it generally does not carry the same legal implications as 'filed' information. Specifically, it is not subject to liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 unless explicitly incorporated into another filing, and it doesn't automatically become part of the company's registered filings.
