    NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

    Regulatory News:

    Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE / Euronext Paris: PM) today announced diluted earnings per share of $1.01 in the third-quarter of 2008, up 23.2% from $0.82, including the items detailed on Schedule 7.

    "Our excellent third-quarter results clearly underscore our ability to deliver against our financial targets despite anticipated currency headwinds and the current global economic turbulence," said Louis Camilleri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

    "We continue to witness robust business momentum, demonstrated by a strong increase in organic volume and solid net revenue and income growth, all of which lead us to reaffirm our annual earnings guidance".

    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 October 22, 2008. Access is available at www.pmintl.com.

    Dividends and Share Repurchase Program

    PMI increased its regular quarterly dividend during the third quarter of 2008 to $0.54, up 17.4% from its inaugural regular quarterly dividend of $0.46. The increased dividend represents an annualized rate of $2.16 per common share. PMI has a dividend policy that anticipates a payout ratio of approximately 65%.

    During the third quarter, PMI spent $2.4 billion to repurchase 44.8 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 $4.5 billion to repurchase 86.2 million shares.

    2008 Full-Year Forecast

    PMI reaffirms its forecast for adjusted diluted earnings per share, reflecting strong business momentum, 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.

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

    Acquisition of Rothmans Inc.

    On July 31, 2008, PMI announced that the company had entered into an agreement with Rothmans Inc. (Rothmans) to purchase, by way of a tender offer, all of the outstanding common shares of Rothmans for CAD $30.00 per share in cash, for an aggregate transaction value of approximately CAD $2.0 billion on a fully-diluted basis.

    On September 30, 2008, PMI announced that approximately 63,904,405 shares representing approximately 93.8% of the outstanding common shares of Rothmans on a fully-diluted basis had been tendered and accepted by the company.

    On October 9, 2008, PMI formally notified the remaining shareholders of Rothmans that it was exercising its right to acquire the remaining Rothmans shares in accordance with Canadian law. PMI has subsequently paid for the remaining shares and now owns 100% of Rothmans.

    On October 20, 2008, the common shares of Rothmans (symbol: ROC) were delisted on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

    The Canadian business' results were incorporated into the renamed Latin America & Canada segment as of September 19, 2008. These results did not have a significant impact on PMI's operating results for the third quarter or nine months ended September 30, 2008.

    PMI cigarette shipment volume of 225.9 billion units was up 4.0% for the quarter, driven by EEMA, Asia and Latin America & Canada, partly offset by a decline in the EU. On an organic basis, excluding acquisitions, PMI's cigarette shipment volume was up a robust 3.2%, benefiting from particularly strong performances in Argentina, Indonesia, Korea, Russia and Ukraine.

    Total cigarette shipments of Marlboro of 80.3 billion units were up 1.1%, with growth in EEMA, Asia and Latin America & Canada, partly offset by a decline in the EU. Total cigarette shipments of L&M of 24.0 billion units were down 3.6%, 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 14.6% versus the prior-year quarter. Total cigarette shipments of Parliament continued to record strong growth, up 15.8%, driven by gains in EEMA. Virginia Slims grew 3.6%, driven by gains in EEMA and Latin America & Canada.

    Shipment volume of other tobacco products (in cigarette equivalent units) surged 36.2%, fueled by strong growth in France and Poland. Excluding acquisitions, shipment volume of other tobacco products was up 15.8%. Total shipment volume for cigarettes and other tobacco products was up 4.4%, or up 3.3% excluding acquisitions.

    PMI's third quarter 2008 market share performance improved versus the same period in 2007 in a number of markets, including Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

    EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

    2008 Third-Quarter Results

    In the EU, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 17.3% to reach $2.7 billion, due to favorable currency of $352 million. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions, net revenues increased 1.0%, principally driven by favorable pricing in almost all Western European markets, particularly in Germany and Italy.

    Operating companies income grew by 15.1% to $1.3 billion, mainly due to favorable currency of $154 million and higher pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, due to total market declines, and the temporary need to absorb some excise tax increases in the Czech Republic and Poland where PMI has had shorter inventory durations of old tax products compared to its competitors. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions, operating companies income increased by 1.0%.

    Operating companies income grew 14.7% for the third quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below. The adjusted operating companies income margin was affected by the absorption of excise taxes in Poland and the Czech Republic.

    The total cigarette market in the EU declined by 1.2% in the third quarter, impacted by unfavorable trade inventory movements in the Czech Republic and tax-driven pricing in Poland. Adjusted for these factors, the total cigarette market in the EU was essentially flat.

    PMI's cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined by 2.1%, reflecting a lower total market as well as unfavorable distributor inventory movements in Italy and the timing of shipments in Spain. PMI's share was essentially flat at 39.1%. Marlboro's share in the EU was down 0.3 points for the quarter, with declines in France, Germany, Italy and Spain partially offset by gains in Central Europe, Greece, Portugal, Switzerland and the U.K.

    In France, the total cigarette market was up 0.7%, reflecting a favorable comparison with the same quarter last year following the August 2007 price increase of 0.30 euros per pack. PMI's shipments were down 3.3% and market share decreased 1.4 points to 40.6%.

    In Germany, the total cigarette market was up 1.4%, reflecting the impact of competitor trade inventories and an additional selling day in the quarter. Adjusted for these distortions, the total cigarette market is estimated to have declined by approximately 0.8%, reflecting a diminished impact of indoor public smoking bans during the summer period. PMI's cigarette shipments were up 1.8% and market share, adjusted for trade inventory distortions, is estimated to have reached a level of 36.6%, up 0.4 share points. On the same basis, this reflects the continued strong momentum of L&M, the fastest growing brand in Germany, up 1.7 points versus the third quarter 2007.

    In Italy, the total market was down 0.4%, reflecting the impact of 2008 price increases, and trade inventory distortions from the second quarter 2008. PMI's shipments declined 4.6%, reflecting distributor inventory adjustments, and market share declined 0.3 points. Marlboro's share was down 0.2 points versus the third quarter 2007. PMI market share on a year-to-date basis is stable at 54.6%.

    In Poland, the total cigarette market was down 6.5%, reflecting the impact of the 2007 and 2008 price increases driven by EU tax harmonization. PMI's shipments declined 8.9% and market share declined 1.0 point to 37.0%, reflecting lower share for Marlboro and L&M, impacted by price gaps with competitive brands that temporarily widened following the tax-driven price increases during the quarter. These price gaps subsequently closed following competitive brand price increases at the end of the quarter.

    In Spain, the total market was up 0.7%. PMI's shipments declined 3.0%, mainly reflecting the timing of shipments in the third quarter. Although PMI's market share was down 0.4 share points to 32.3% for the quarter, total share was up 0.7 points versus the second quarter 2008, driven by Marlboro.

    EASTERN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA (EEMA)

    2008 Third-Quarter Results

    In EEMA, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 23.6% to reach $2.1 billion, including favorable currency of $148 million. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 14.9% due to higher pricing and favorable volume/mix, principally in Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.

    In the third quarter of 2008, operating companies income surged 33.2%, including favorable currency of $55 million. Excluding the impact of currency, operating companies income was up a strong 25.5% driven by continued gains across the region and especially 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 up-trading in Eastern Europe and Turkey and improved pricing across the region, especially in Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.

    PMI cigarette shipment volume increased 5.0% driven by gains in Egypt, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.

    In Russia, PMI's shipment volume was up 8.0%, benefiting from up-trading to our higher-priced brands. PMI's market share was up 0.3 points, with the premium brands Marlboro and Parliament, and the medium-priced brand Chesterfield, all registering share gains. PMI's premium portfolio increased market share by 0.5 points in the quarter.

    In Turkey, PMI's shipment volume was up 3.4%, fueled by 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 40.7% was up 0.5 points, driven by the strong performance of Parliament.

    In Ukraine, PMI's shipment volume was up 10.6% and market share rose 1.6 points to 35.7%, reflecting share gains by our higher-margin brands Marlboro, Parliament and Chesterfield.

    ASIA

    2008 Third-Quarter Results

    In Asia, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 11.7% to reach $1.6 billion, including favorable currency of $55 million. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 7.8%.

    In the third quarter of 2008, operating companies income grew 8.6%, primarily due to higher pricing and improved volume/mix. The growth in operating companies income continued to be driven by strong performances in Australia, Indonesia and Korea.

    Operating companies income grew 8.1% for the third quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below. The decrease in adjusted operating companies income margin reflects additional marketing investment.

    PMI cigarette shipment volume increased 5.6%, due to gains in Indonesia, Korea, Pakistan and the Philippines, partially offset by a decline in Japan.

    In Indonesia, PMI's shipment volume rose 13.0% versus the same period last year, reflecting gains by Marlboro, up 12.8%, and A Mild, up 24.2%, and the timing of trade purchases ahead of the religious holiday of Ramadan. Marlboro's volume has been reinvigorated by the launch of Marlboro Mix 9 kretek brand. 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. Based on a newly expanded retail audit panel, implemented during the quarter, which more accurately reflects the geographical coverage of the market, PMI's market share reached 29.6%, up 0.4 points, driven by share gains in Marlboro and A Mild.

    In Japan, the total cigarette market declined 5.7%. However, adjusting for the impact of the completed implementation of vending machine age verification and resultant trade inventory movements, the total market is estimated to have declined 3.8%. PMI's shipments were down 7.1%, primarily reflecting the lower total market. Although PMI's market share declined 0.3 points to 24.0% in the quarter, it was up 0.1 point versus the second quarter of this year. Marlboro's share for the quarter was up slightly at 10.2% and up 0.4 points versus the second quarter 2008, driven by the August launch of Marlboro Black Menthol, an innovative product in the growing menthol segment. Recent share stabilization of the Lark family has been driven by the successful 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 3.9% for the third quarter 2008 and PMI's shipment volume increased 28.1%, driven by market share increases. PMI's market share reached 12.2%, up 2.3 points, due mainly to the continued strong performance of Parliament, up 1.4 points, and Marlboro, up 0.7 points.

    LATIN AMERICA & CANADA

    2008 Third-Quarter Results

    In Latin America & Canada, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 14.9% to reach $563 million, including favorable currency of $35 million, largely due to strong performances in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 7.8%, mainly due to higher pricing in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico and higher volume in Argentina and Colombia.

    In the third quarter of 2008, operating companies income decreased $33 million to $110 million. The decline is attributable to the one-time, pre-tax charge of $61 million, related to a previous distribution agreement in Canada. Excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions, the above charge and the items shown in the table below, adjusted operating companies income grew 6.3%.

    Cigarette shipment volume increased by 15.0%, reflecting higher shipments and share in Argentina and Brazil and the inclusion of acquisition volume in Canada and Mexico. Excluding acquisition volume, shipments increased 6.5%.

    In Argentina, the total cigarette market grew 6.9% for the third quarter 2008. PMI's cigarette shipment volume increased 8.9% and share increased 1.3 points to 70.8%, driven by Marlboro, up 1.5 points and the Philip Morris brand, up 1.4 points.

    In Mexico, the total cigarette market was down 4.8% for the third quarter 2008, reflecting the impact of price increases in October 2007 and related trade inventory movements, and tax-driven price increases in January 2008. However, PMI's cigarette shipment volume, including the acquired brands, rose significantly and share increased 3.0 points to 68.5%, led by Benson & Hedges, up 0.6 points and Delicados, up 1.6 points. The share of Marlboro, the market leader, was 48.7%, up 0.1 point.

    (a) This adjustment reflects the reversal of $15 million of pre-tax
     asset impairment and exit costs ($11 million after-tax) relating to
     the streamlining of various administrative functions.
    (b) 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
     $7 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.
    (c) 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 $53 million, partially offset by
     the related tax benefit of $15 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. 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 $1.3 million.
    (d) 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. This adjustment
     reflects the reversal of this transaction.
    (e) Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the
     number of our shares distributed by Altria on the Distribution Date.
