(RBH), effective March 22, 2019 (the date of deconsolidation). In addition, PMI's total market share has been restated for previous periods to reflect the deconsolidation. Growth rates presented in this press release on an organic basis for consolidated financial results reflect currency-neutral underlying results and "like-for-like" comparisons, where applicable. Adjustments, other calculations and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included in the schedules to this press release.

• Total IQOS users at quarter-end estimated at approximately 16.4 million, of which approximately 11.7 million have stopped smoking and switched to IQOS
• Increased the regular quarterly dividend per share by 2.6% to an annualized rate of $4.80

2020 Nine Months Year-to-Date

• Reported diluted EPS of $3.90, up by 9.2%; up by 17.1%, excluding currency
• Adjusted diluted EPS of $3.92, down by 1.3%; up by 7.4% on an organic basis
• Cigarette and heated tobacco unit shipment volume down by 8.0% (reflecting cigarette shipment volume down by 10.9%, and heated tobacco unit shipment volume up by 27.9% to 54.4 billion units); down by 7.8% on a like-for-like basis

"We delivered stronger-than-anticipated results in the third quarter, despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, with adjusted diluted EPS growth of 5.6% on an organic basis," said André Calantzopoulos, Chief Executive Officer.

"The sustained momentum of IQOS was excellent, with an estimated 16.4 million total users at the end of September and smoke-free products accounting for nearly one-fourth of our total net revenues in the quarter. Furthermore, our combustible tobacco business recorded an improved sequential performance, supported by better underlying total industry volumes across both developed and emerging markets."

"Despite continued headwinds for our duty-free business and in Indonesia, we are raising our full-year 2020 guidance and now anticipate adjusted diluted EPS growth of around 5% to 6% on an organic basis, compared to a range of approximately 3.5% to 5.0% previously."

COVID-19: Business Continuity Update

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, PMI has undertaken a number of business continuity measures to mitigate potential disruption to its operations and route-to-market in order to preserve the availability of products to its customers and adult consumers.

Currently:

• PMI has sufficient access to the inputs for its products and is not facing any significant business continuity issues with respect to key suppliers;
• The large majority of PMI's manufacturing facilities globally are currently operational, including all heated tobacco unit factories. Certain cigarette production facilities—accounting for less than 5% of PMI's total cigarette production capacity worldwide—are temporarily impacted by government-mandated shutdowns or production limitations;
• There are adequate inventories, based on existing sales trends, of PMI finished goods across all key markets for cigarettes and across all IQOS markets for heated tobacco units and tobacco heating devices;
• PMI does not anticipate out-of-stock situations in any major operating income markets and generally expects consumers to have adequate access to its products; and
• PMI has ample liquidity through cash on hand, the ongoing cash generation of its business, and its access to the commercial paper and debt markets.

PMI raises its full-year 2020 reported diluted EPS forecast to a range of $5.03 to $5.08, at prevailing exchange rates, compared to the previously communicated forecast range of $4.92 to $4.99, provided on September 10th.

This revision primarily reflects:

• A favorable tax reporting item of $0.06 per share, recorded in the third quarter of 2020, related to U.S. tax regulations under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017;
• Better-than-anticipated third-quarter total industry volume, notably in the EU Region and Indonesia, and the corresponding impact on PMI shipment volume; and
• A smaller expected fourth-quarter cigarette industry volume decline in Indonesia, and the corresponding impact on PMI shipment volume.

Excluding an unfavorable currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of approximately $0.32 per share (compared to approximately $0.31 per share assumed previously), the favorable tax item of $0.06 per share, asset impairment and exit costs of $0.04 per share and the fair value adjustment for equity security investments of $0.04 per share, this forecast represents a projected increase of around 5% to 6% versus pro forma adjusted diluted EPS of $5.13 in 2019, as detailed in the above table.

2020 Full-Year Forecast Assumptions

This forecast assumes:

• No recurrence of national lockdowns in PMI's key international markets during the remainder of 2020;
• Lack of near-term recovery in PMI's duty-free business given the uncertain outlook for global travel, with current dynamics persisting at least through year end;
• Full enforcement of minimum retail selling price requirements in Indonesia by the end of 2020, at the earliest;
• An estimated total international industry volume decline, excluding China and the U.S., of approximately 7% to 8%, compared to approximately 7% to 9% assumed previously;
• A total cigarette and heated tobacco unit shipment volume decline for PMI of approximately 8% to 9% on a like-for-like basis, compared to approximately 8% to 10% assumed previously;
• A full-year heated tobacco unit shipment volume that keeps PMI on-track to reach its 2021 target of 90 to 100 billion units;
• A net revenue decline in the low single digits on an organic basis. Excluding Indonesia and PMI Duty Free, this assumes net revenue growth in the low single digits on the same basis;
• An increase in adjusted operating income margin of around 200 basis points on an organic basis, compared to more than 150 basis points assumed previously;
• Operating cash flow of at least $9.0 billion, subject to year-end working capital requirements and currency movements;
• Fourth-quarter reported diluted EPS of around $1.16, including an unfavorable currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of approximately $0.04 per share, notably reflecting:
  • Broadly stable underlying consumption trends compared to the third quarter of 2020; and
  • The impact of certain costs that were initially planned for the third quarter of 2020 but are now expected in the fourth quarter.
• Capital expenditures of approximately $0.6 billion, compared to approximately $0.7 billion assumed previously;
• An effective tax rate, excluding discrete tax events, of 22% to 23%, compared to approximately 22% assumed previously; and
• No share repurchases.

This forecast excludes the impact of any future acquisitions, unanticipated or unquantifiable asset impairment and exit cost charges, future changes in currency exchange rates, further developments related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, further developments pertaining to the judgment in the two Québec Class Action lawsuits and the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) protection granted to RBH, any unusual events, and any COVID-19-related developments different from the assumptions set forth in the company's forecast.

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

Third-Quarter

PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 7.6%, due to:

• the EU, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, notably in France, Italy and Poland, partly offset by Austria, partially offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume across the Region, notably in Italy and Poland;
• Eastern Europe, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, particularly in Russia and Ukraine, partly offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume across the Region, primarily in Russia and Ukraine;
• Middle East & Africa, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, mainly in North Africa, PMI Duty Free and Turkey, as well as lower heated tobacco unit shipment volume due to PMI Duty Free;
• South & Southeast Asia, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, primarily in Indonesia and the Philippines, partly offset by Pakistan and Thailand;
• East Asia & Australia, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, mainly in Japan, partly offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume, primarily in Japan; and
• Latin America & Canada, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, primarily in Argentina, partly offset by Brazil.

Impact of Inventory Movements

Excluding the net unfavorable impact of estimated distributor inventory movements of approximately 3.4 billion units, PMI’s total in-market sales declined by 5.8%, due to a 8.8% decline in cigarettes, partly offset by a 28.5% increase in heated tobacco units.

The net unfavorable impact of estimated distributor inventory movements of approximately 3.4 billion units reflected a net unfavorable impact of 1.8 billion cigarettes, mainly due to Japan and PMI Duty Free, partly offset by Saudi Arabia, and a net unfavorable impact of 1.6 billion heated tobacco units, primarily due to Japan and Russia.

Nine Months Year-to-Date

PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 8.0% (or by 7.8% on a like-for-like basis), due to:

• the EU, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, notably in Italy, Poland and Spain, partly offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume across the Region, particularly in Italy and Poland;
• Middle East & Africa, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, primarily in PMI Duty Free and Turkey, as well as lower heated tobacco unit shipment volume due to PMI Duty Free;
• South & Southeast Asia, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, primarily in Indonesia, Pakistan and the Philippines;
• East Asia & Australia, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, predominantly in Japan, partly offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume driven by Japan; and
• Latin America & Canada, reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume, primarily in Argentina, Canada (due to the impact of the deconsolidation of RBH), and Mexico, partially offset by Brazil. On a like-for-like basis, PMI's total shipment volume in the Region decreased by 12.0%;

partly offset by

• Eastern Europe, reflecting higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume across the Region, notably in Russia and Ukraine, partly offset by lower cigarette shipment volume, mainly in Russia and Ukraine.

Impact of Inventory Movements 

The net impact of estimated distributor inventory movements was immaterial. On a like-for-like basis, PMI’s total in-market sales declined by 7.7%.

Third-Quarter

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of the following brands decreased:

• Marlboro, mainly due to Indonesia, Japan and PMI Duty Free, partly offset by the Philippines and Russia;
• L&M, notably due to Egypt, Germany, PMI Duty Free and Poland, partly offset by Mexico, Thailand and Turkey;
• Chesterfield, mainly due to Poland, Russia and Turkey, partly offset by Brazil and Saudi Arabia;
• Philip Morris, primarily due to Argentina and Italy, partly offset by the Philippines and Russia;
• Parliament, mainly due to Japan, Korea, Kuwait, PMI Duty Free and Russia;

• Bond Street, notably due to Russia;
• Dji Sam Soe in Indonesia, mainly due to Dji Sam Soe Magnum Mild;
• Lark, primarily due to Japan;
• Fortune in the Philippines; and
• "Others," notably due to: mid-price Sampoerna U in Indonesia, partly offset by mid-price Sampoerna Hijau in Indonesia and low-price Morven in Pakistan.

The increase in PMI's heated tobacco unit shipment volume was mainly driven by the EU (notably Italy and Poland), Eastern Europe (notably Russia and Ukraine) and Japan, partly offset by PMI Duty Free.

International Share of Market 

PMI's total international market share (excluding China and the U.S.), defined as PMI's cigarette and heated tobacco unit sales volume as a percentage of total industry cigarette and heated tobacco unit sales volume, decreased by 0.7 points to 28.2%, reflecting:

• Total international market share for cigarettes of 25.1%, down by 1.5 points; and
• Total international market share for heated tobacco units of 3.1%, up by 0.8 points.

PMI's total international cigarette sales volume as a percentage of total industry cigarette sales volume was down by 1.3 points to 26.1%, mainly reflecting: out-switching to heated tobacco units, as well as lower cigarette market share and/or an unfavorable geographic mix impact, notably in Argentina, Indonesia, PMI Duty Free and Ukraine, partly offset by Brazil and Pakistan.

Nine Months Year-to-Date

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of the following brands decreased:

• Marlboro, mainly due to Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, PMI Duty Free and Turkey, partly offset by Russia;
• L&M, notably due to PMI Duty Free and Poland, partly offset by Mexico and Turkey;
• Chesterfield, mainly due to Poland, Russia and Turkey, partly offset by Brazil and Saudi Arabia;
• Philip Morris, primarily due to Argentina and Italy, partly offset by Japan, the Philippines and Russia;
• Parliament, mainly due to PMI Duty Free, Russia and Turkey;

• Bond Street, largely due to Russia and Ukraine;
• Dji Sam Soe in Indonesia, mainly due to Dji Sam Soe Magnum Mild;
• Lark, primarily due to Japan and Turkey;
• Fortune in the Philippines; and
• "Others," notably due to: the impact of the deconsolidation of RBH in Canada; mid-price Hope in the Philippines, Muratti in Turkey and Sampoerna U in Indonesia; and low-price Baronet (morphed to L&M) in Mexico, Jackpot in the Philippines and Morven in Pakistan; partly offset by mid-price Sampoerna Hijau in Indonesia.

The increase in PMI's heated tobacco unit shipment volume was mainly driven by the EU (notably Italy and Poland), Eastern Europe (notably Russia and Ukraine) and Japan, partly offset by PMI Duty Free.

International Share of Market

PMI's total international market share (excluding China and the U.S.), decreased by 0.5 points to 27.9%, reflecting:

• Total international market share for cigarettes of 25.0%, down by 1.2 points; and
• Total international market share for heated tobacco units of 2.9%, up by 0.8 points.

PMI's total international cigarette sales volume as a percentage of total industry cigarette sales volume was down by 1.1 points to 25.9%, mainly reflecting: out-switching to heated tobacco units, as well as lower cigarette market share and/or an unfavorable geographic mix impact, notably in Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, the Philippines, PMI Duty Free and Turkey, partly offset by Germany and Russia.

(2) Included in Marketing, Administration and Research Costs above.
Note: Net Revenues include revenues from shipments of Platform 1 devices, heated tobacco units and accessories to Altria Group, Inc., commencing in the third quarter of 2019, for sale under license in the United States.

Net revenues, excluding unfavorable currency, decreased by 1.5%, mainly reflecting: unfavorable volume/mix, primarily due to lower cigarette volume (mainly in Indonesia, Japan and PMI Duty Free), partially offset by higher heated tobacco unit volume (notably in the EU, Japan, Russia and Ukraine, partly offset by PMI Duty Free); partially offset by a favorable pricing variance (notably driven by Germany, Japan, Russia and Saudi Arabia, partly offset by Indonesia and Turkey).

Operating income, excluding unfavorable currency, increased by 20.9%, notably reflecting a favorable comparison, shown in "Cost/Other," due to charges recorded in the in the third quarter of 2019 of $396 million, related to: asset impairment and exit costs associated with a plant closure in Colombia and the Russia excise and VAT audit.

Excluding these charges and unfavorable currency, adjusted operating income increased by 5.8%, primarily reflecting: a favorable pricing variance; lower manufacturing costs (driven by productivity gains related to reduced-risk and combustible products); and lower marketing, administration and research costs (partly driven by cost efficiencies); partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, due to the same factors as for net revenues noted above.

Adjusted operating income margin, excluding currency, increased by 3.1 points to 44.8%, as detailed in Schedule 8.

Note: Net Revenues include revenues from shipments of Platform 1 devices, heated tobacco units and accessories to Altria Group, Inc., commencing in the third quarter of 2019, for sale under license in the United States.

Net revenues, excluding unfavorable currency, decreased by 1.7%, reflecting: unfavorable volume/mix, primarily due to lower cigarette volume (mainly in Argentina, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, PMI Duty Free, Poland, Russia, Spain, Turkey and Ukraine, partly offset by Germany), partially offset by higher heated tobacco unit volume (notably in the EU, Japan, Russia and Ukraine, partly offset by PMI Duty Free); and the unfavorable impact of $241 million, shown in "Cost/Other," mainly resulting from the deconsolidation of RBH; partly offset by a favorable pricing variance (notably driven by Australia, the GCC, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, PMI Duty Free and Russia, partially offset by Indonesia and Turkey). On a like-for-like basis, net revenues, excluding unfavorable currency, decreased by 0.9%, as detailed in Schedule 9.

Operating income, excluding unfavorable currency, increased by 14.5%, notably reflecting a favorable comparison, shown in "Cost/Other," of charges recorded September year-to-date 2020 of $71 million, related to asset impairment and exit costs associated with organizational design optimization, to charges recorded in the same period in 2019 of $872 million, related to: asset impairment and exit costs associated with plant closures in Colombia and Pakistan, the loss on the deconsolidation of RBH, the Canadian tobacco litigation-related expense, and the Russia excise and VAT audit.

Excluding these charges and unfavorable currency, adjusted operating income increased by 4.1%, primarily reflecting: a favorable pricing variance; lower manufacturing costs (driven by productivity gains related to reduced-risk and combustible products) and lower marketing, administration and research costs (partly driven by cost efficiencies); partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, mainly due to lower cigarette volume (primarily in Argentina, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, PMI Duty Free, Poland and Spain, partly offset by Germany), partly offset by higher heated tobacco unit volume (notably in the EU, Japan, Russia and Ukraine, partly offset by PMI Duty Free); and the unfavorable impact of the deconsolidation of RBH, included in "Cost/Other." On a like-for-like basis, adjusted operating income, excluding unfavorable currency, increased by 5.6%, as detailed in Schedule 9.

Adjusted operating income margin, excluding currency, increased by 2.3 points to 42.6%, as detailed in Schedule 8, or by 2.6 points to 42.6% on a like-for-like basis, as detailed in Schedule 9.

Third-Quarter

The estimated total market in the EU decreased by 0.6% to 131.5 billion units, notably driven by:

• Denmark, down by 36.1%, mainly reflecting the net unfavorable impact of estimated trade inventory movements related to a significant excise tax increase on April 1, 2020. Excluding these movements, the total estimated market decreased by 11.8%, mainly due to the impact of excise tax-driven price increases;
• Romania, down by 7.9%, primarily reflecting the impact of pandemic-related lockdown measures; and
• Spain, down by 7.3%, mainly reflecting lower in-bound tourism and border sales due to the pandemic;

partly offset by

• Poland, up by 8.6%, notably reflecting the pandemic-related impact of: lower cross-border (non-domestic) purchases, reduced out-bound tourism and a lower estimated prevalence of illicit trade due to border restrictions.

PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 0.7% to 50.4 billion units, reflecting:

• lower cigarette shipment volume, mainly due to lower market share (notably in Italy and Poland, partly reflecting out-switching to heated tobacco units);

partly offset by

• higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume across the Region, driven by higher market share (notably in Italy and Poland).

Nine Months Year-to-Date

The estimated total market in the EU decreased by 2.1% to 356.3 billion units, notably due to:

• Indonesia, down by 9.3%, or by 6.1% excluding the net unfavorable impact of estimated trade inventory movements, mainly reflecting the impact of excise tax-driven price increases and pandemic-related measures on adult smoker average daily consumption;

partly offset by

• Pakistan, up by 32.3%, or by 1.0% excluding the net favorable impact of estimated trade inventory movements related to the timing of price increases in 2019.

PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 12.1% to 37.2 billion units, notably due to:

• Indonesia, down by 20.8%, reflecting the lower total market, as well as a lower market share, mainly due to: adult smoker down-trading to the tax-advantaged 'below tier one' segment, the impact of elevated price gaps in the tier one segment (partly due to the delay in minimum price enforcement), and the disproportionate impact of stricter public mobility restrictions in urban areas, where PMI’s share is higher; and
• the Philippines, down by 5.5%, mainly reflecting a lower market share for mid-price Fortune due to the impact of price increases in the third quarter of 2019;

partly offset by

• Pakistan, up by 36.0%, primarily reflecting the higher total market.

Nine Months Year-to-Date

The estimated total market in South & Southeast Asia decreased, notably due to:

Philip Morris International: Delivering a Smoke-Free Future

Philip Morris International (PMI) is leading a transformation in the tobacco industry to create a smoke-free future and ultimately replace cigarettes with smoke-free products to the benefit of adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, society, the company and its shareholders. PMI is a leading international tobacco company engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, as well as smoke-free products and associated electronic devices and accessories, and other nicotine-containing products in markets outside the U.S. In addition, PMI ships a version of its IQOS Platform 1 device and its consumables to Altria Group, Inc. for sale under license in the U.S., where the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized their marketing as a modified risk tobacco product (MRTP), finding that an exposure modification order for these products is appropriate to promote the public health. PMI is building a future on a new category of smoke-free products that, while not risk-free, are a much better choice than continuing to smoke. Through multidisciplinary capabilities in product development, state-of-the-art facilities and scientific substantiation, PMI aims to ensure that its smoke-free products meet adult consumer preferences and rigorous regulatory requirements. PMI's smoke-free product portfolio includes heat-not-burn and nicotine-containing vapor products. As of September 30, 2020, PMI estimates that approximately 11.7 million adult smokers around the world have already stopped smoking and switched to PMI's heat-not-burn product, available for sale in 61 markets in key cities or nationwide under the IQOS brand.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains projections of future results and other forward-looking statements. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. In the event that risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements. Pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, PMI is identifying important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by PMI.

PMI's business risks include: excise tax increases and discriminatory tax structures; increasing marketing and regulatory restrictions that could reduce our competitiveness, eliminate our ability to communicate with adult consumers, or ban certain of our products; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco use and intellectual property; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; changes in adult smoker behavior; lost revenues as a result of counterfeiting, contraband and cross-border purchases; governmental investigations; unfavorable currency exchange rates and currency devaluations, and limitations on the ability to repatriate funds; adverse changes in applicable corporate tax laws; adverse changes in the cost and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. PMI's future profitability may also be adversely affected should it be unsuccessful in its attempts to produce and commercialize reduced-risk products or if regulation or taxation do not differentiate between such products and cigarettes; if it is unable to successfully introduce new products, promote brand equity, enter new markets or improve its margins through increased prices and productivity gains; if it is unable to expand its brand portfolio internally or through acquisitions and the development of strategic business relationships; or if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our reduced-risk product category's performance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant societal and economic disruption, and resulted in closures of stores, factories and offices, and restrictions on manufacturing, distribution and travel, all of which will adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position during the continuation of the pandemic. Our business continuity plans and other safeguards in place may not be effective to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Currently, significant risks include our diminished ability to convert adult smokers to our RRPs, significant volume declines in our duty-free business and certain other key markets, disruptions or delays in our manufacturing and supply chain, increased currency volatility, and delays in certain cost saving, transformation and restructuring initiatives. Our business could also be adversely impacted if key personnel or a significant number of employees or business partners become unavailable due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The significant adverse impact of COVID-19 on the economic or political conditions in markets in which we operate could result in changes to the preferences of our adult consumers and lower demand for our products, particularly for our mid-price or premium-price brands. Continuation of the pandemic could disrupt our access to the credit markets or increase our borrowing costs. Governments may temporarily be unable to focus on the development of science-based regulatory frameworks for the development and commercialization of RRPs or on the enforcement or implementation of regulations that are significant to our business. In addition, messaging about the potential negative impacts of the use of our products on COVID-19 risks may lead to increasingly restrictive regulatory measures on the sale and use of our products, negatively impact demand for our products, the willingness of adult consumers to switch to our RRPs and our efforts to advocate for the development of science-based regulatory frameworks for the development and commercialization of RRPs.

The impact of these risks also depends on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, its recurrence in our key markets, actions taken to contain its spread and to mitigate its public health effects, and the ultimate economic consequences thereof.

PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. PMI cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not a complete discussion of all potential risks and uncertainties. PMI does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, except in the normal course of its public disclosure obligations.

Key Terms, Definitions and Explanatory Notes

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.
• Comparisons are made to the same prior-year period unless otherwise stated.
• Unless otherwise stated, references to total industry, total market, PMI shipment volume and PMI market share performance reflect cigarettes and heated tobacco units.
• References to total international market, defined as worldwide cigarette and heated tobacco unit volume excluding the U.S., total industry, total market and market shares are PMI estimates for tax-paid products based on the latest available data from a number of internal and external sources and may, in defined instances, exclude the People's Republic of China and/or PMI's duty free business. In addition, to reflect the deconsolidation of PMI's Canadian subsidiary, Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, Inc. (RBH), effective March 22, 2019, PMI's total market share has been restated for previous periods.
• 2020 third-quarter and nine months year-to-date estimates for total industry volume and market share in certain geographies reflect limitations on the availability and accuracy of industry data during pandemic-related restrictions.
• "OTP" is defined as "other tobacco products," primarily roll-your-own and make-your-own cigarettes, pipe tobacco, cigars and cigarillos, and does not include reduced-risk products.
• "Combustible products" is the term PMI uses to refer to cigarettes and OTP, combined.
• In-market sales, or "IMS," is defined as sales to the retail channel, depending on the market and distribution model.
• "Total shipment volume" is defined as the combined total of cigarette shipment volume and heated tobacco unit shipment volume.
• "North Africa" is defined as Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia.
• "The GCC" (Gulf Cooperation Council) is defined as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
• Following the deconsolidation of PMI's Canadian subsidiary, Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, Inc. (RBH), PMI will continue to report the volume of brands sold by RBH for which other PMI subsidiaries are the trademark owner. These include HEETS, Next, Philip Morris and Rooftop.
• From time to time, PMI’s shipment volumes are subject to the impact of distributor inventory movements, and estimated total industry/market volumes are subject to the impact of inventory movements in various trade channels that include estimated trade inventory movements of PMI’s competitors arising from market-specific factors that significantly distort reported volume disclosures. Such factors may include changes to the manufacturing supply chain, shipment methods, consumer demand, timing of excise tax increases or other influences that may affect the timing of sales to customers. In such instances, in addition to reviewing PMI shipment volumes and certain estimated total industry/market volumes on a reported basis, management reviews these measures on an adjusted basis that excludes the impact of distributor and/or estimated trade inventory movements. Management also believes that disclosing PMI shipment volumes and estimated total industry/market volumes in such circumstances on a basis that excludes the impact of distributor and/or estimated trade inventory movements, such as on an IMS basis, improves the comparability of performance and trends for these measures over different reporting periods.

Financial

• Net revenues related to combustible products refer to the operating revenues generated from the sale of these products, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, net of sales and promotion incentives, and excise taxes. PMI recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer, typically either upon shipment or delivery of goods.
• Net revenues related to RRPs represent the sale of heated tobacco units, IQOS devices and related accessories, and other nicotine-containing products, primarily e-vapor products, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, net of sales and promotion incentives, and excise taxes. PMI recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer, typically either upon shipment or delivery of goods.
• "Cost of sales" consists principally of: tobacco leaf, non-tobacco raw materials, labor and manufacturing costs; shipping and handling costs; and the cost of IQOS devices produced by third-party electronics manufacturing service providers. Estimated costs associated with IQOS warranty programs are generally provided for in cost of sales in the period the related revenues are recognized.
• "Marketing, administration and research costs" include the costs of marketing and selling our products, other costs generally not related to the manufacture of our products (including general corporate expenses), and costs incurred to develop new products. The most significant components of our marketing, administration and research costs are marketing and sales expenses and general and administrative expenses.
• "Cost/Other" in the Consolidated Financial Summary table of total PMI and the six operating segments of this release reflects the currency-neutral variances of: cost of sales (excluding the volume/mix cost component); marketing, administration and research costs (including asset impairment and exit costs, the Canadian tobacco litigation-related expense and the charge related to the deconsolidation of RBH in Canada); and amortization of intangibles. “Cost/Other” also includes the currency-neutral net revenue variance, unrelated to volume/mix and price components, attributable to fees for certain distribution rights billed to customers in certain markets in the ME&A Region, as well as the impact of the deconsolidation in RBH.
• "Adjusted Operating Income Margin" is calculated as adjusted operating income, divided by net revenues.
• "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity (income)/loss in unconsolidated subsidiaries, excluding asset impairment and exit costs, and unusual items.
• "Net debt" is defined as total debt, less cash and cash equivalents.
• Growth rates presented on an organic basis for consolidated financial results reflect currency-neutral underlying results and "like-for-like" comparisons, where applicable.
• Management reviews net revenues, OI, OI margins, 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. Organic growth rates reflect the way management views underlying performance for these measures. PMI believes that such measures, including pro forma measures, will provide useful insight into underlying business trends and results, and will provide a more meaningful performance comparison for the period during which RBH remains under CCAA protection. For PMI's 2018 pro forma adjusted diluted EPS by quarter and year-to-date, see Schedule 3 in PMI's third-quarter 2019 earnings release.
• 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 press release.
• U.S. GAAP Treatment of Argentina as a Highly Inflationary Economy. Following the categorization of Argentina by the International Practices Task Force of the Center for Audit Quality as a country with a three-year cumulative inflation rate greater than 100%, the country is considered highly inflationary in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Consequently, PMI began to account for the operations of its Argentinian affiliates as highly inflationary, and to treat the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of the affiliates, effective July 1, 2018.
• "Fair value adjustment for equity security investments" reflects the adjustment resulting from share price movements in passive investments for publicly traded entities that are not controlled or influenced by PMI. Under U.S. GAAP, such adjustments are required, since January 1, 2018, to be reflected directly in the income statement.

Reduced-Risk Products

• 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 produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
• "Heated tobacco units," or "HTUs," is the term PMI uses to refer to heated tobacco consumables, which include the company's HEETS, HEETS Creations, HEETS Dimensions, HEETS Marlboro and HEETS FROM MARLBORO (defined collectively as HEETS), Marlboro HeatSticks and Parliament HeatSticks, as well as the KT&G-licensed brand, Fiit (outside of Korea).
• Market share for HTUs is defined as the total sales volume for HTUs as a percentage of the total estimated sales volume for cigarettes and HTUs.
• Unless otherwise stated, all references to IQOS are to PMI's heat-not-burn products.
• The IQOS heat-not-burn device is a precisely controlled heating device into which a specially designed and proprietary tobacco unit is inserted and heated to generate an aerosol.
• “Total IQOS users” is defined as the estimated number of Legal Age (minimum 18 years) IQOS users that used PMI HTUs for at least 5% of their daily tobacco consumption over the past seven days.
• The estimated number of people who have "stopped smoking and switched to IQOS" is defined as: for markets where IQOS is the only heat-not-burn product, daily individual consumption of PMI HTUs represents the totality of their daily tobacco consumption in the past seven days; for markets where IQOS is one among other heat-not-burn products, daily individual consumption of HTUs represents the totality of their daily tobacco consumption in the past seven days, of which at least 70% are PMI HTUs.

IQOS in the United States

• On April 30, 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the marketing of a version of IQOS, PMI's heat-not-burn product, together with its heated tobacco units (the term PMI uses to refer to heated tobacco consumables), is appropriate for the protection of public health and authorized it for sale in the U.S. The FDA’s decision follows its comprehensive assessment of PMI’s premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) submitted to the Agency in 2017. In the third quarter of 2019, PMI brought a version of its IQOS Platform 1 device and three variants of its heated tobacco units to the U.S. through its license with Altria Group, Inc., whose subsidiary, Philip Morris USA Inc., is responsible for marketing the product and complying with the provisions set forth in the FDA's marketing order. On March 30, 2020, PMI submitted a supplemental PMTA for the IQOS 3 tobacco heating device with the FDA.
• On July 7, 2020, the FDA authorized the marketing of a version of IQOS, together with its heated tobacco units, as a modified risk tobacco product (MRTP). In doing so, the agency found that an IQOS exposure modification order is appropriate to promote the public health. The decision follows a review of the extensive scientific evidence package PMI submitted to the FDA in December 2016 to support its MRTP applications.
• Shipment volume of heated tobacco units to the U.S. is included in the heated tobacco unit shipment volume of the Latin America & Canada segment. Revenues from shipments of Platform 1 devices, heated tobacco units and accessories to Altria Group, Inc. for sale under license in the U.S. are included in Net Revenues of the Latin America & Canada segment.
