Background

Philip Morris International Inc. is a holding company incorporated in Virginia, U.S.A. (also referred to herein as the U.S., the United States or the United States of America), whose subsidiaries and affiliates and their licensees are primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes and smoke-free products. Throughout these financial statements, the term "PMI" refers to Philip Morris International Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Smoke-Free Business ("SFB”) is the term PMI uses to refer to all of its smoke-free products. SFB also includes wellness products, as well as consumer accessories.

Smoke-free products (also referred to herein as "SFPs") is the term PMI uses to refer to all of its products that provide nicotine without combusting tobacco, such as heat-not-burn, e-vapor, and oral smokeless, and that therefore generate far lower levels of harmful chemicals. As such, these products have the potential to present less risk of harm versus continued smoking.

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of PMI are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and such principles are applied on a consistent basis. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP have been omitted. It is the opinion of PMI’s management that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results presented have been reflected therein. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Net revenues and net earnings attributable to PMI for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

With PMI's smoke-free business now operating at scale across its regions, including growth from its U.S. business, PMI has implemented an evolved organizational model with two primary business units: International and U.S. This change was implemented effective January 1, 2026, and as a result, PMI realigned its reportable segments accordingly. The four geographic segments have been replaced with the following three new reportable segments:
International Smoke-Free;
International Combustibles; and
U.S. (including the wellness business unit, Aspeya).

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation as a result of the new segment structure discussed above. The consolidated statement of earnings includes a new caption for "Corporate expenses and other." "Other" includes foreign currency gains/losses and compensation expense related to restricted share units and performance share units awards, which were reclassified from "Cost of sales" and "Marketing, Administration and Research" costs. These reclassifications did not impact PMI’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any of the periods presented. See Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net and Note 8. Segment Reporting for further details.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, which appear in PMI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
