Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE / Euronext Paris: PM) today announced its 2008 full-year and fourth-quarter results and provided its forecast for 2009 full-year diluted earnings per share.

“Our operating performance in 2008 was exceptionally strong and our results exceeded our constant currency growth targets for both the full year and the fourth quarter. Our first year as an independent company was also marked by significant progress on numerous strategic fronts and specifically behind our efforts to improve our speed to market and enhance the vibrancy and equity of our strong brand portfolio," said Louis Camilleri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"The global economic crisis obviously results in uncertainty, particularly on the currency front, and at current exchange rates we face a steep hurdle. Nevertheless, we enter 2009 with solid momentum and confident in our ability to meet our constant currency income growth targets. Our commitment to judiciously invest in the growth of our business and deliver superior returns to our shareholders over the long term remains as steadfast as ever."

Conference Call

A conference call, hosted by Louis Camilleri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Hermann Waldemer, Chief Financial Officer, with members of the investment community and news media will be webcast at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 4, 2009. Access is available at www.pmintl.com.

Dividends and Share Repurchase Program

During the fourth quarter, PMI announced a regular quarterly dividend of $0.54. PMI increased its dividend by 17.4% in August 2008 to an annualized rate of $2.16 per share.

In the fourth-quarter, PMI spent $888 million to repurchase 20.6 million shares of its common stock. Since May 2008, when PMI began its previously-announced $13 billion, two-year share repurchase program, the company has spent a total of $5.4 billion to repurchase 106.8 million shares.

Acquisitions

In 2008, PMI acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Rothmans Inc. of Canada for CAD $30.00 per share in cash, representing an aggregate transaction value of approximately CAD $2.0 billion. The Canadian business’ results were incorporated into the renamed Latin America & Canada segment as of September 19, 2008. These results were not material to PMI’s operating results for the fourth quarter 2008 or for the full-year 2008.

During the year, PMI also acquired the fine cut trademark Interval for 254 million euros.

Certain PMI Subsidiaries Revise their Closing Date

Prior to 2008, certain of PMI’s subsidiaries reported their results up to ten days before the end of December, rather than on December 31. During 2008, these subsidiaries moved to a December 31 closing date. Accordingly, the first and fourth quarter results of previous periods have been revised to reflect this change. The unfavorable impact of this change on 2008 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter is essentially offset by a favorable impact in the fourth quarter. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2008 was not material to PMI’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Schedules 9-12 for more information.

PMI Enters into Agreement with Swedish Match AB

As separately announced on February 3, 2009, PMI has entered into an agreement with Swedish Match AB (SWMA) to establish an exclusive 50:50 joint venture to commercialize Swedish style snus and other smoke-free tobacco products worldwide, outside of Scandinavia and the USA. PMI and SWMA will license exclusively to the joint venture an agreed list of trademarks and intellectual property.

PMI has further licensed to SWMA certain PMI trademarks in Sweden and Norway, including 1847 by Philip Morris, PMI's first product in the Swedish snus category launched in June 2008.

Acquisition of Petteroes

PMI has reached an agreement to acquire the rights to the Petteroes fine cut tobacco trademark worldwide and other cigarette trademarks sold primarily in Norway and Sweden.

In 2008, Petteroes had a 58% share of the Norwegian roll-your-own segment and a 7% share of the cigarette category. The brand recorded net revenues, excluding excise taxes, of approximately NOK 370 million (USD 54 million), and operating companies income of approximately NOK 260 million (USD 38 million), in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

The transaction is subject to approval by the European Commission and certain individual country regulatory agencies and is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2009. The transaction is projected be modestly accretive to net earnings in 2009.

2009 Full-Year Forecast

PMI forecasts 2009 full-year diluted earnings per share to a range of $2.85 to $3.00, at current exchange rates, versus $3.32 in 2008. Excluding an adverse currency impact of $0.80 per share, 2009 guidance is projected to increase by 10%-14%. This guidance excludes the impact of any potential future acquisition.

The factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to this projection.

2008 FULL-YEAR AND FOURTH-QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Management reviews operating companies income, which is defined as operating income before corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles, to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources.

2008 Full-Year Results

PMI cigarette shipment volume of 869.8 billion units was up 2.5% for the full-year 2008. On an organic basis, excluding acquisitions, PMI’s cigarette shipment volume was up 1.0%, benefiting from strong performances in EEMA, Asia and Latin America & Canada, partially offset by the EU. The performance in the EU was adversely affected by a decline in the total market, the build-up of trade inventories in the Czech Republic in the fourth quarter of 2007 in anticipation of the January 2008 excise tax increase, and the impact of tax-driven pricing in Poland. Absent the distortions in the Czech Republic and Poland, PMI cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined by 2.9%.

Marlboro cigarette shipment volume of 310.7 billion units was up 0.2%, with a combined growth in EEMA, Asia and Latin America & Canada of 4.3%, partially offset by the EU, down 6.0%, primarily reflecting cigarette consumption declines.

Total cigarette shipments of L&M of 92.4 billion units were down 4.6%, mainly due to a decline in EEMA, partially offset by growth in the EU. Led by double-digit growth in EEMA and an increase in the EU, total cigarette shipments of Chesterfield grew 13.7%. Total cigarette shipments of Parliament recorded strong growth, up 20.0%, led by gains in EEMA and Asia. Virginia Slims grew 8.2%, driven by gains across all business segments.

Shipment volume of other tobacco products (in cigarette equivalent units) grew 30.9%, driven by strong growth in France, Germany and Poland. Excluding acquisitions, shipment volume of other tobacco products was up 18.1%.

Total shipment volume for cigarettes and other tobacco products was up 2.8%, or up 1.2% excluding acquisitions.

PMI’s full-year market share performance improved versus 2007 in a number of markets, including Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

2008 Fourth-Quarter Results

PMI cigarette shipment volume of 217.2 billion units was up 2.0%, driven by EEMA, Asia and Latin America & Canada, partially offset by a decline in the EU due to the factors mentioned above for the full-year. Absent the distortions in the Czech Republic and Poland, PMI cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined 3.6%. On an organic basis, excluding acquisitions, PMI’s cigarette shipment volume was up 0.6%, benefiting from particularly strong performances in Indonesia, Mexico, the Philippines, Russia and Turkey, partially offset by EU markets, mainly the Czech Republic and Poland.

Total cigarette shipments of Marlboro of 78.5 billion units were up 2.0%, with combined growth in EEMA, Asia and Latin America & Canada of 6.4%, partially offset by a 5.2% decline in the EU.

Total cigarette shipments of L&M of 22.0 billion units were down 4.0%, mainly due to a decline in EEMA. Total cigarette shipments of Chesterfield grew 4.8% versus the prior-year quarter, driven by continued growth in the EU and EEMA. Total cigarette shipments of Parliament continued to record strong growth, up 16.4%, led by gains in EEMA and Asia. Virginia Slims grew 2.4%, driven by gains in the EU and EEMA.

Shipment volume of other tobacco products (in cigarette equivalent units) grew 30.0%, driven by strong growth in Belgium, France and Poland. Excluding acquisitions, shipment volume of other tobacco products was up 4.4%.

Total shipment volume for cigarettes and other tobacco products was up 2.4%, or up 0.6% excluding acquisitions.

EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

2008 Full-Year Results

In the EU, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 9.7% to reach $9.7 billion, due to favorable currency of $899 million. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions, net revenues decreased 0.8%, mainly due to: an unfavorable volume/mix of $454 million, especially in the Czech Republic driven by the impact of unfavorable trade inventory movements in anticipation of the January 2008 excise tax increase; the total market decline, primarily in Poland due to tax-driven price increases; and lower share in some markets, principally France and Poland. These factors were partially offset by higher pricing in most markets of $382 million, net of a total tax absorption cost of $75 million in the Czech Republic and Poland where PMI absorbed taxes as a result of shorter inventory durations of old tax products compared to its competitors.

Operating companies income grew by 12.9% to $4.7 billion, mainly due to favorable currency of $432 million and higher pricing. Excluding currency, operating companies income increased in all main markets with the exception of the Czech Republic, France and Poland for the reasons mentioned above. Operating companies income grew 10.9% in 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions, adjusted operating companies income increased by 0.5%.

The total cigarette market in the EU declined by 4.8%. Adjusted for the Czech Republic inventory distortion and excluding the tax-driven pricing impact in Poland, the total cigarette market in the EU was down 1.8%.

PMI’s cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined by 5.5%, reflecting a lower total market. Absent the distortions in the Czech Republic and the total market decline in Poland, PMI cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined 2.9%. PMI’s share was down 0.2 share points at 39.2%. Marlboro’s share in the EU was down 0.1 share point for the year, with declines in France, Germany, Italy and Spain partially offset by gains in Greece and Hungary.

2008 Fourth-Quarter Results

Net revenues, excluding excise taxes, declined by 6.0% to $2.1 billion, due to unfavorable currency of $83 million. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions, net revenues decreased 2.9%, principally due to an unfavorable volume/mix of $184 million, due to total market declines and the inventory distortion in the Czech Republic mentioned above, partially offset by higher pricing across almost all markets of $119 million.

Operating companies income declined by 9.4% to $959 million, mainly due to unfavorable volume/mix, and unfavorable currency of $91 million, partially offset by higher pricing. Operating companies income declined 12.4% for the fourth quarter when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions, adjusted operating companies income decreased by 5.0%.

The total cigarette market in the EU declined by 8.7%, impacted by the unfavorable factors mentioned above for the full year. Adjusted for these factors, the total cigarette market in the EU was down 3.1%.

PMI’s cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined by 8.6%, reflecting a lower total market. PMI’s share was essentially flat at 39.3%. However, Marlboro’s share in the EU was up 0.3 share points versus the third quarter 2008.

EU Key Market Commentaries

In France, the total cigarette market was down 2.5% in 2008, reflecting the impact of the August 2007, 0.30 euros per pack price increase as well as the expansion of public smoking restrictions in January 2008.

PMI’s shipments were down 6.1% in 2008 and, while market share in the fourth quarter was flat against the third quarter 2008, total share for the year decreased 1.7 share points to 40.8%.

In Germany, the total cigarette market was down 2.7% in 2008, primarily reflecting the impact of public smoking restrictions that came into force during the year.

PMI’s shipments declined 12.8% and market share declined 1.3 share points to 37.6%, reflecting the loss incurred by PMI’s low priced brands. Following the closure of price gaps with competitive brands that had widened as a result of the tax-driven price increases during the third quarter of 2008, PMI’s market share is showing early signs of recovery, as evidenced by total share and Marlboro share in December 2008, up 0.7 and 0.2 share points respectively, versus the same period in 2007.

In Spain, the total market was up 1.2% in 2008. PMI’s shipments increased 0.4% and PMI’s market share was essentially flat at 31.9%, benefiting from the October 2008 launch of Marlboro Pocket Pack which captured a 0.7% share in the fourth quarter.

Marlboro’s share for 2008 was up 0.1 share point at 10.1% and up 0.6 share points to 10.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008 versus the prior year, driven by the August launch of Marlboro Black Menthol, an innovative product in the growing menthol segment, which captured 1.0% share of market in the fourth quarter, and the November launch of Marlboro Filter Plus One, which achieved a 0.3% share of market in the fourth quarter. Share of Lark in 2008 was 6.6%, down 0.2 share points versus 2007.

In Korea, the total market was up 3.6% in 2008 and PMI’s shipment volume increased 24.9%, driven by market share increases. Following a record market share of 12.3% in the fourth quarter, up 2.0 share points compared to the prior year, PMI’s share in 2008 reached 11.8%, up 2.0 share points, due mainly to the continued strong performance of Parliament, up 1.4 share points, Marlboro, up 0.6 share points, and Virginia Slims, up 0.2 share points.

LATIN AMERICA & CANADA

2008 Full-Year Results

In Latin America & Canada, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 17.5% to reach $2.3 billion, including favorable currency of $47 million, due largely to higher pricing in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico and higher volume in Argentina and Mexico.

(1) Prior to 2008, certain of our subsidiaries reported
their results up to ten days before the end of December
rather than on December 31. During 2008, these subsidiaries
moved to a December 31 closing date. As a result, the first

revised to reflect this change. The effect of this change
for the year ended December 31, 2007 was not material to
our consolidated financial position, results of operations

(1) Prior to 2008, certain of our subsidiaries reported
their results up to ten days before the end of December
rather than on December 31. During 2008, these subsidiaries
moved to a December 31 closing date. As a result, the first
and fourth quarter results of previous periods have been
revised to reflect this change. The effect of this change
for the year ended December 31, 2008 was not material to our
consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

(a) This adjustment reflects the reversal of $55 million of pre-tax asset impairment and exit
costs ($41 million after-tax) relating to the streamlining of various administrative functions.
(b) During 2007, we sold our leasing business, which was managed by Philip Morris Capital
Corporation, or PMCC, Altria's financial services subsidiary, for a pre-tax gain of $52 million
($14 million after-tax). This adjustment reflects the reversal of this transaction.
(c) A subsidiary of Altria had provided us with certain services at cost plus a management fee.
This adjustment reflects incremental costs of $23 million, partially offset by the related tax
benefit of $6 million. These incremental costs reflect the expansion of services that were
previously provided by Altria to reflect our status as a stand-alone public company.
(d) As part of the Spin-off, we paid to Altria $4.0 billion in special dividends, of which $3.1
billion were paid in 2007 and the remaining $900 million were paid in the first quarter of 2008.
The pro forma adjusted statement of earnings has been adjusted to reflect the incremental
interest expense we would have incurred if borrowings to finance the special dividends had been
made on January 1, 2007. The incremental interest adjustment of $40 million, partially offset by
the related tax benefit of $14 million, was computed by applying a rate of 5.24% (the average
rate of our December 2007 borrowings that were incurred to pay Altria the dividend) to the total
special dividends that were paid to Altria, less $11 million of interest related to these
borrowings that is already included in our historical interest expense. An increase or (decrease)
of one-eighth of 1% (12.5 basis points) in the interest rate associated with these variable rate
borrowings would have increased or (decreased) our pro forma adjusted interest expense by $1.1
million.
(e) The reported tax provision in 2007 included the reversal of tax accruals of $41 million no
longer required. This adjustment reflects the reversal of this transaction.
(f) Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the number of our shares
distributed by Altria on the Distribution Date.
(g) Results for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 have been revised to reflect the movement of
certain subsidiaries to a December 31 closing date. See Schedule 11 for more information.

(a) These adjustments reflect the reversal of $208 million of pre-tax asset impairment and exit
costs ($152 million after-tax) relating to the streamlining of various administrative functions.
(b) During 2007, we sold our leasing business, which was managed by Philip Morris Capital
Corporation, or PMCC, Altria's financial services subsidiary, for a pre-tax gain of $52 million
($14 million after-tax). This adjustment reflects the reversal of this transaction.
(c) A subsidiary of Altria had provided us with certain services at cost plus a management fee.
This adjustment reflects incremental costs of $92 million, partially offset by the related tax
benefit of $27 million. These incremental costs reflect the expansion of services that were
previously provided by Altria to reflect our status as a stand-alone public company.
(d) As part of the Spin-off, we paid to Altria $4.0 billion in special dividends, of which $3.1
billion were paid in 2007 and the remaining $900 million were paid in the first quarter of 2008.
The pro forma adjusted statement of earnings has been adjusted to reflect the incremental interest
expense we would have incurred if borrowings to finance the special dividends had been made on
January 1, 2007. The incremental interest adjustment of $199 million, partially offset by the
related tax benefit of $59 million, was computed by applying a rate of 5.24% (the average rate
of our December 2007 borrowings that were incurred to pay Altria the dividend) to the total
special dividends that were paid to Altria, less $11 million of interest related to these
borrowings that is already included in our historical interest expense. An increase or (decrease)
of one-eighth of 1% (12.5 basis points) in the interest rate associated with these variable rate
borrowings would have increased or (decreased) our pro forma adjusted interest expense by $5
million.
(e) The 2007 reported effective tax rate included a tax benefit of $27 million related to the
reduction of deferred tax liabilities resulting from future tax rates enacted in Germany. The
reported tax provision in 2007 also included the reversal of tax accruals of $41 million no longer
required. This adjustment reflects the reversal of these transactions.
(f) Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the number of our shares
distributed by Altria on the Distribution Date.
(g) Results for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been revised to reflect the movement of
certain subsidiaries to a December 31 closing date. See Schedule 11 for more information.
