General • “PMI” refers to Philip Morris International Inc. and its subsidiaries. Trademarks and service marks that are the registered property of, or licensed by, the subsidiaries of PMI, are italicized.
• In November 2022, we acquired Swedish Match AB ("Swedish Match") - a leader in oral nicotine delivery - creating a global smoke-free combination led by the companies' IQOS and ZYN brands.
Our consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022, include the results of operations of Swedish Match from November 11, 2022 (acquisition date) to December 31, 2022. The operating results of Swedish Match were included in a separate segment for 2022 and 2023.
Following the combination and the progress in 2023 toward the integration of the Swedish Match business into the existing PMI regional segment structure, we are updating our segment reporting by including Swedish Match results in the four existing geographical segments. As of the first quarter of 2024, we will report on this basis.
• The recast 2023 and 2022 shipment volumes and financial information in this document reflect the integration of the Swedish Match business into the existing PMI geographical segment structure (announced on February 8, 2024). PMI’s shipment volumes and financials for total PMI as well as Wellness & Healthcare do not differ from previously disclosed results.
• Comparisons are made to the same prior-year period unless otherwise stated.
• "Combustible tobacco products" is the term PMI uses to refer to cigarettes and other tobacco products that are combusted.
• "Total Oral Products volume" is defined as oral smoke-free product volume excluding snuff, snuff leaf and U.S. chew.
Financial • Adjusted net revenues in 2023 exclude the impact related to the termination of distribution arrangement in the Middle East
• "Adjusted Operating Income Margin" is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by adjusted net revenues.
• Management reviews net revenues, gross profit, operating income, operating income margin, operating cash flow and earnings per share, or "EPS," on an adjusted basis, which may exclude the impact of currency and other items such as acquisitions, asset impairment and exit costs, tax items and other special items. Additionally, starting in 2022 and on a comparative basis, for these measures other than net revenues and operating cash flow, PMI includes adjustments to add back amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets that are recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to PMI’s revenue generation, as well as impairment of intangible assets, if any. While amortization expense on acquisition related intangible assets is excluded in these adjusted measures, the net revenues generated from these acquired intangible assets are included in the company's adjusted measures, unless otherwise stated. Currency-neutral and organic growth rates reflect the way management views underlying performance for these measures. PMI believes that such measures provide useful insight into underlying business trends and results.

• Management reviews these measures because they exclude changes in currency exchange rates and other factors that may distort underlying business trends, thereby improving the comparability of PMI’s business performance between reporting periods. Furthermore, PMI uses several of these measures in its management compensation program to promote internal fairness and a disciplined assessment of performance against company targets. PMI discloses these measures to enable investors to view the business through the eyes of management.
• Non-GAAP measures used in this release should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, see the relevant schedules provided with this report.
Smoke-Free Products • Smoke-free products ("SFPs") is the term PMI primarily uses to refer to all of its products that are not combustible tobacco products, such as heat-not-burn, e-vapor, and oral nicotine. In addition, SFPs include wellness and healthcare products, as well as consumer accessories such as lighters and matches.
• Reduced-risk products (“RRPs”) is the term PMI uses to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. PMI's RRPs are smoke-free products that contain and/or generate far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
• Wellness and Healthcare products primarily refer to products associated with inhaled therapeutics and oral and intra-oral delivery systems that are included in the operating results of PMI's new Wellness and Healthcare business, Vectura Fertin Pharma.
• "Heated tobacco units" or "HTU" is the term PMI uses to refer to heated tobacco consumables, which include our BLENDS, DELIA, HEETS, HEETS Creations, HEETS Dimensions (defined collectively as "HEETS"), Marlboro HeatSticks, SENTIA, TEREA, TEREA CRAFTED, and TEREA Dimensions, as well as the KT&G licensed brands, Fiit and Miix (outside of South Korea). HTU's also include zero tobacco heat-not-burn consumables (LEVIA).
