\nPhilip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today published its sixth annual Integrated Report, marking the company\u2019s 10th year of business transformation and sustainability disclosures. The document details PMI\u2019s continued progress in delivering long-term value to shareholders and other stakeholders while advancing its purpose<\/a> of having its smoke-free alternatives make cigarettes obsolete as soon as possible.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur 2024 Integrated Report celebrates a milestone year that marked the 10thanniversary of the commercialization of IQOS, VEEV and ZYN and our journey toward achieving one of the most ambitious business transformations in modern history,\u201d<\/i> said Jacek Olczak, Chief Executive Officer of PMI. \u201cBy the end of 2024,<\/i>our efforts to expand access to smoke-free products allowed us to reach an estimated 38.6 million adult users, with the products available in 95 markets, demonstrating our deep commitment to sustainability and business transformation. These achievements fill me with profound optimism as we continue to create long-term value while addressing our product and operational impacts, not only sustaining but accelerating our momentum, accomplishing a number of goals that only a few years ago seemed too ambitious.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
\nThe Integrated Report describes the company\u2019s strategy, business model, and both product-related (\u2018what\u2019 the Company produces) and operational-related (\u2018how\u2019 the Company operates) performance. The report explains the Company\u2019s performance and approach to sustainability in the context of a comprehensive five-pillar framework that includes compliance and risk mitigation as well as operational efficiency, innovation, and purposeful impact. It emphasizes how regulatory compliance serves as the foundation while risk management ensures business resilience. It highlights how this approach streamlines processes for enhanced productivity and profitability, aligns sustainability with long-term business goals to drive innovation and competitive value, and ultimately aims to lead a significant industry transformation by influencing standards, shaping policy, and driving systemic change that redefines market expectations.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe path to transformation is rarely linear, and our experience in 2024 reinforces a crucial truth: Achieving a smoke-free future requires collective effort beyond our direct control. Our smoke-free business accounted for approximately 39% of PMI\u2019s total net revenues for the full year 2024, with an acceleration in top- and bottom-line growth. Competing in the cigarette market while simultaneously working to transform it is not a contradiction but a necessary phase in our journey,\u201d<\/i> said Emmanuel Babeau, Chief Financial Officer of PMI. \u201cOur integrated approach\u2014linking financial success with positive impact\u2014positions us well to continue investing in the future. We remain confident that our financial strength, combined with our sustainability leadership, is the right path forward.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Product and Operational Impact: Performance Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cWe understand the importance of setting ambitious yet realistic targets that drive our business success. Our Sustainability Index has proven instrumental in ensuring our ambitions are balanced and our metrics are objective, while our enhanced nonfinancial data governance helps us report with precision and consistency,\u201d<\/i> said Jennifer Motles, Chief Sustainability Officer of PMI. \u201cOur commitment to sustainability is inseparable from future-proofing our business, creating tangible impacts within our control and sphere of influence, and contributing to a transformation that extends beyond our company<\/i>.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n \nThe Integrated Report 2024 has been prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Universal Standards (2021) and relevant topic-specific standards. The report takes into account guidance from the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) of the IFRS Foundation, including using its SASB Standards, Integrated Thinking Principles, and Integrated Reporting Framework. PMI\u2019s SASB Index and GRI Index, which also maps the principles and standards of the UN Global Compact (UNGC), is available on PMI.com. The report is accompanied by the PMI Sustainability KPI Protocol 2024, which provides a transparent explanation of how we define and measure progress for each Sustainability Index KPI.\n<\/p>\n \nPlease visit pmi.com\/sustainability<\/b><\/a> to learn more and read the full Integrated Report 2024<\/b><\/a>, as well as case studies and market stories<\/b><\/a> and the Sustainability KPI Protocol 2024<\/b><\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Philip Morris International: Delivering a Smoke-Free Future<\/b><\/p>\n \nPhilip Morris International is a leading international tobacco company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company\u2019s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products. Since 2008, PMI has invested over USD 14 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate, and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. In 2022, PMI acquired Swedish Match\u2014a leader in oral nicotine delivery\u2014creating a global smoke-free champion led by the companies\u2019 IQOS<\/i> and ZYN<\/i> brands. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match\u2019s General <\/i>snus and ZYN <\/i>nicotine pouches and versions of PMI\u2019s IQOS <\/i>devices and consumables\u2014the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS <\/i>devices and consumablesand General<\/i> snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. As of December 31, 2024, PMI\u2019s smoke-free products were available for sale in 95 markets, and PMI estimates that 38.6 million adults around the world use PMI\u2019s smoke-free products. The smoke-free business accounted for approximately 39% of PMI\u2019s total full-year 2024 net revenues. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness and healthcare areas and aims to enhance life through the delivery of seamless health experiences.

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 \u201csafe harbor\u201d 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.\n<\/p>\n \nPMI\u2019s 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 in certain markets or countries; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco and\/or nicotine use and intellectual property; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; the impact and consequences of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; the impact of natural disasters and pandemics on PMI\u2019s business; 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, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as components and materials for our electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies.
