Conference Call

A conference call, hosted by Hermann Waldemer, Chief Financial Officer, with members of the investment community and news media will be webcast at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2008. Access is available at www.pmintl.com.

Dividends and Share Repurchase Program

PMI declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.46 during the second quarter of 2008, which represents an annualized rate of $1.84 per common share. PMI has established a dividend policy that anticipates a payout ratio of approximately 65%.

During the second quarter, PMI spent $2.1 billion to repurchase 41.4 million shares of its common stock, part of its previously-announced $13 billion, two-year share repurchase program which began in May 2008.

2008 Full-Year Forecast

PMI raises its forecast for adjusted diluted earnings per share, reflecting strong business momentum and favorable currency, to a range of $3.32 to $3.38 for the full-year 2008, representing a growth rate of approximately 19% to 21%, from a revised pro-forma adjusted base of $2.79 per share in 2007. This compares to a previously disclosed range of $3.18 to $3.24 for the full-year 2008.

This forecast excludes the impact of any potential future acquisitions and a number of other factors. The factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections.

Acquisition of Interval and other OTP trademarks completed

PMI's previously announced agreement with Imperial Tobacco Group PLC to acquire the fine cut trademark Interval and certain other trademarks in the Other Tobacco Products (OTP) category received approval during the second quarter from the European Commission and certain local regulatory authorities. As a consequence, the transaction was completed on June 30, 2008.

Second-quarter 2008 reported operating companies income grew a robust 23.7% to $2.8 billion, driven by improved performance from all business segments of $212 million and favorable currency of $277 million. Excluding currency and acquisitions, adjusted operating companies income was up a strong 9.2%, mainly due to favorable pricing across all business segments, notably in Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico and Russia, partially offset by slightly unfavorable volume/mix due to France, Germany and Japan, and to the unfavorable impact of excise tax-driven trade inventory adjustments in the Czech Republic.

Adjusted for the items shown in the table below, operating companies income grew 21.7%.

Total PMI                                       223,169 221,001   1.0%

PMI cigarette shipment volume of 223.2 billion units was up 1.0% for the quarter, driven by EEMA, Asia and Latin America, partly offset by a decline in the EU. On an organic basis, excluding acquisitions, PMI's cigarette shipment volume was up 0.3%, benefiting from a number of new product initiatives.

Total cigarette shipments of Marlboro of 79.1 billion units were down 2.4%, with growth in EEMA, Asia and Latin America offset by a decline in the EU and the impact of the transfer of the US Duty Free business to Altria Group, Inc. Total cigarette shipments of L&M of 24.8 billion units were down 3.2%, with 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 18.0% versus the prior-year quarter. Total cigarette shipments of Parliament continued to record robust growth, up 28.1%, with gains in EEMA and Asia. Virginia Slims, with shipment growth in EEMA, Asia and Latin America, grew 12.2%.

Shipment volume of other tobacco products (in cigarette equivalent units) grew 21.5%, fueled by continued strong growth in Germany and Poland. Total shipment volume for cigarettes and other tobacco products were up 1.2%.

PMI's second quarter 2008 market share performance improved versus the same period in 2007 in a number of markets, including Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Korea, Mexico, Pakistan, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Switzerland and Ukraine.

EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

2008 Second-Quarter Results

In the EU, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 15.0% to reach $2.6 billion, due to favorable currency of $384 million. Excluding the impact of currency, net revenues decreased 1.7%, principally driven by lower volumes in France and the need to absorb some tax increases in the Czech Republic where PMI had shorter inventory durations of old tax products than its competitors. This impact is temporary as new price levels are expected to be effective during the third quarter.

Operating companies income grew by 19.7% to $1.3 billion, due to favorable currency of $210 million and higher pricing. These were partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix due to total market declines, in addition to the factors mentioned above. Excluding the impact of currency, operating companies income was essentially flat.

Operating companies income grew 17.7% for the second quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below.

The total cigarette market in the EU declined by 3.7% in the second quarter, driven by the implementation of indoor public smoking restrictions, notably in France, Germany, Portugal and the U.K., the impact of tax-driven pricing, primarily in Poland, and unfavorable trade inventory movements in the Czech Republic.

PMI's cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined by 4.4%, reflecting a lower total market. PMI's share was down 0.2 points to 39.4%, despite higher shares in Germany, Greece, Spain and Switzerland. However, compared to the first quarter of this year, PMI's market share was up 0.6 points. Whilst Marlboro's share in the EU was down 0.6 points for the quarter, its share was up slightly compared to the first quarter, driven by a stable share in France and improved share in Germany, Poland and Switzerland.

In France, the total cigarette market was down 5.1% for the second quarter 2008, reflecting the continued impact of the August 2007 price increase as well as the expansion of public smoking restrictions in January of this year. PMI's shipments were down 11.2% and market share decreased 2.5 points to 40.9%, mainly reflecting a lower share for Marlboro following its passing the 5.00 euros per pack price point in August 2007. However, Marlboro's share has stabilized compared to the first quarter 2008 and is expected to gradually improve as consumers adjust to the new pricing environment.

In Germany, total cigarette industry shipments were down 6.2%, distorted by competitor trade inventories from the first quarter of this year. Adjusted for this distortion, the total cigarette market declined by approximately 4.3%, due to the on-going implementation of public smoking restrictions and price increases in the super-low price segment effective in February 2008. PMI's cigarette shipments were down 3.7% and market share, adjusted for trade inventory distortions, is estimated to have reached a level of 37.0%, up 0.3 share points. This reflects the improved performance of Marlboro, up 0.3 points to 24.5% versus the adjusted first quarter, and the continued momentum of L&M.

In Italy, the total market was stable, reflecting the continued impact of the January 2008 price increase, offset by higher trade purchases as a result of PMI's announced price increase at the end of June. Although PMI's shipments declined 1.7%, reflecting distributor inventory adjustments, market share was stable, led by Chesterfield and Diana. Marlboro's share was up versus the first quarter 2008, benefiting from the launch of Marlboro Compact in March.

In Poland, the total cigarette market was down 6.9%, reflecting the continued impact of the 2007 price increase driven by EU tax harmonization. PMI's shipments declined 9.4% and market share declined 1.1 points to 38.6%, due to continued down-trading of Red & White consumers to lower-priced brands and the erosion of the 70mm segment. These trends were partially offset by the strong performance of L&M, in particular the super slims variant, L&M Link. Marlboro share was up 0.4 points for the quarter to 8.9%.

In Spain, the total market was down 0.4%. PMI's shipments grew 3.7%, mainly reflecting the timing of shipments in the second quarter. Market share grew by 0.2 share points to 31.7%, driven by the strong performance of Chesterfield, up 0.2 points to 9.7%.

    EASTERN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA (EEMA)

    2008 Second-Quarter Results

In EEMA, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 18.5% to reach $1.9 billion, including favorable currency of $135 million. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 10.2% due to higher pricing and favorable volume/mix, principally in Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.

In the second quarter of 2008, operating companies income surged 28.2%, including favorable currency of $34 million. Excluding the impact of currency, operating companies income was up 22.9% driven by gains in Eastern Europe and Turkey. The income gain reflects a combination of strong volume growth, particularly in Russia and Ukraine, favorable product mix due to continued up-trading in Eastern Europe and Turkey and improved pricing across the region, especially in Russia and Turkey.

PMI cigarette shipment volume increased 3.2% driven by gains in Egypt, Russia and Ukraine.

In Russia, PMI's shipment volume was up 8.3%, benefiting from continued up-trading to our higher-priced brands. PMI's market share was essentially unchanged at 26.6%, with the premium brands Marlboro, Parliament, Virginia Slims, and the medium-priced brand Chesterfield, all registering share gains. Combined, PMI's premium portfolio increased market share by 0.5 points in the quarter.

In Turkey, PMI's shipment volume was up 2.9%, fueled by a continued improved product mix, with double-digit growth of the premium brand portfolio, comprised of Parliament, Marlboro and the launch of Virginia Slims in the first quarter, partly offset by the decline of lower-margin brands. Total market share of 40.2% was essentially unchanged versus the same period last year, but was up 0.6 points versus the first quarter 2008.

In Ukraine, PMI's shipment volume was up 8.2% and market share rose 1.5 points to 35.2%, reflecting continued consumer up-trading to Marlboro, Parliament and Chesterfield.

    ASIA

    2008 Second-Quarter Results

In Asia, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 11.3% to reach $1.6 billion, including favorable currency of $92 million. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 4.9%.

In the second quarter of 2008, operating companies income grew 21.9%, primarily due to higher pricing, favorable currency of $29 million and improved volume/mix. The strong growth in operating companies income was driven by robust performances in Australia, Indonesia and Korea. Excluding the impact of currency, operating companies income grew 15.2%.

Operating companies income grew 20.2% for the second quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below.

PMI cigarette shipment volume increased 1.9%, due to continued gains in Indonesia and Korea, partially offset by a decline in Japan.

In Indonesia, PMI's shipment volume rose 14.9% versus the same period last year, reflecting growth across all brand families, especially Marlboro, up 27.6%, and A Mild, up 20.2%. Marlboro's volume benefited from the Marlboro Mix 9 kretek brand, available nationally since March. The A Mild brand family continued to perform strongly, helped by the successful launch of A Volution, the first super slims kretek in the Indonesian market.

In Japan, the total cigarette market declined 1.6%. However, adjusting for trade purchases prior to the implementation of vending machine age verification, the total market is estimated to have declined 3.4% in the quarter. PMI's shipments were down 7.0%, primarily reflecting a reduction of distributor inventory levels and the lower total market. Although PMI's market share declined 0.3 points to 23.9% in the quarter, it remained unchanged versus the first quarter of this year. Marlboro's share for the quarter was stable at 9.8%. Marlboro Black Menthol, a new super-mentholated product in the growing menthol segment, will be launched in August. Lark's share has continued to improve since the fourth quarter 2007, benefiting from the launch of Lark Menthol X, in February, and of Lark Classic, which continues to show encouraging results following its initial launch in April in East Japan.

In Korea, the total market was up 1.6% for the second quarter 2008 and PMI's shipment volume increased 26.5%, driven by market share increases. PMI's market share reached 11.8%, up 2.3 points, due to the continued strong performance of Parliament, up 1.6 points, and gains from Marlboro and Virginia Slims.

    LATIN AMERICA

    2008 Second-Quarter Results

In Latin America, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 13.8% to reach $528 million, including favorable currency of $27 million, largely due to a strong performance in Mexico. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 8.0%, mainly due to higher pricing and volume in Argentina and Mexico and higher pricing in Colombia. These results were partially offset by lower volume in Colombia.

In the second quarter of 2008, operating companies income surged by 44.1% to $147 million, driven by strong performances in Argentina and Mexico, the favorable impact of PMI's increased ownership from 50% to 80% of the Mexican business, and a favorable currency impact of $4 million. Excluding the impact of currency and the increased Mexican ownership, adjusted operating companies income grew 15.0%.

Operating companies income grew 30.1% in the second quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below.

Cigarette shipment volume increased by 7.9%, reflecting higher shipments and share in Argentina and Mexico and the inclusion of the acquired local trademarks in Mexico, partially offset by lower shipments in Colombia. Excluding acquisition volume, shipments increased 1.3%.

In Argentina, the total cigarette market grew 5.9% for the second quarter 2008. PMI's cigarette shipment volume increased 8.8% and share increased 1.9 points to 70.3%, driven by Marlboro, up 1.6 points and the Philip Morris brand, up 1.3 points.

In Mexico, the total cigarette market was down 0.4% for the second quarter 2008. However, PMI's cigarette shipment volume rose significantly and share increased 3.0 points to 67.2%, led by Marlboro, the market leader, up 0.8 points, Benson & Hedges, up 0.6 points and Delicados, up 1.1 points.
