We have an unwavering commitment to our purpose, transforming our company to no longer base our success on making or selling cigarettes. We are doing that by delivering smoke-free products—such as heated tobacco, nicotine pouches, and e-vapor products—for adults who would otherwise smoke, giving them a much better choice than cigarettes.

Our ambition is to become substantially smoke-free by 2030, with our smoke-free business generating over two-thirds of our total global net revenues.

Emmanuel Babeau shares his highlights from our Q2 Results

Emmanuel Babeau, Group Chief Financial Officer for Philip Morris International, speaks to camera:

We delivered very strong results in the second quarter,

rounding off an excellent first half of the year.

We reported close to plus 8% organic top line growth,

reaching over $11 billion in quarterly net revenues

for the first time.

Overall in H1, our smoke-free business

generated 42% of our total net revenues.

Operating income grew plus 11% organically,

driving plus 14% currency-neutral growth

in adjusted diluted earnings per share,

or plus 15% in dollar terms.

These results were powered

by the excellent performance of our

international smoke-free business.

IQOS continued to show strong underlying momentum,

while other smoke-free categories, especially VEEV,

also continued to grow rapidly,

as our multicategory commercial approach gains

momentum across markets.

Our combustible business exceeded expectations with growing volumes

and very good pricing, stable category share, and gross profit growth. In the U.S.

we delivered strong sequential performance improvement

versus a challenging first quarter.

ZYN shipments increased by 2% year-on-year to 2.9 billion pouches,

including the initial shipments of new variants such as ZYN ULTRA.

This first phase of our portfolio expansion is an exciting milestone.

Overall, these results underscore the quality of our business model

and our ability to reinvest behind our smoke-free future

while sustaining best-in-class growth.

Leveraging science to drive progress

For over a decade, we have been focusing our resources on developing, scientifically substantiating, and responsibly commercializing innovative alternatives to cigarettes.

 

This progress has real-world impact. Where smoke-free products are available and supported by pragmatic policies, smoking rates fall faster. Where they are banned, smoking rate declines are markedly slower.

We chose to change. And we changed.

Now, we’re calling on governments, public health authorities, and civil society to embrace science, innovation, and commonsense policies to accelerate the end of cigarettes and deliver a smoke-free future, faster.
