Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) has filed an 8-K report on October 21, 2025, to announce its financial results for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The information furnished under Item 2.02 is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, meaning it does not carry the same legal implications as a formally filed report, but it is the primary source for understanding PM's recent financial condition and operational performance.
