Emmanuel Babeau shares his highlights from our Q2 Results
Our second quarter figures are available,
and our performance for the first half of the year is outstanding. The growth in
volume and the double digit organic growth of revenues has
been first and foremost generated by the continued very
strong momentum behind our Smoke-free portfolio in the second quarter of 2024.
Our smoke free business accounted for 38.1% of our total net revenues, up by 2.7 percentage points versus the second
quarter last year. As well as this, the estimated total
number of adult users of PMI smoke free product is up strongly to 36.5 million as we grow across our smoke free platform.
This momentum across our portfolio, together with price action and cost efficiency deployment,
allows us to deliver excellent financial performance in H1, with revenue growing
globally by more than 10% organically. Operating
income and adjusted EPs growing around 17% excluding forex.
This is a further acceleration versus 2023.
We're accelerating toward our smoke-free ambitions
