Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE / Euronext Paris: PM) today announced its 2016 first-quarter results.

“In line with our expectations, our first-quarter financial results reflected a tough comparison with the exceptionally strong first quarter of last year," said Andr? Calantzopoulos, Chief Executive Officer.

"Today we raised our full-year guidance as a result of moderating currency headwinds, which continues to represent a currency-neutral adjusted diluted EPS growth rate of approximately 10% to 12% versus 2015. We expect the growth to be skewed towards the second half of this year, and the fourth quarter in particular."

“Our confidence is guided by moderating industry volume declines and robust pricing, underpinned by our superior cigarette brand portfolio, led by our flagship brand, Marlboro. We are also excited by the progress, best represented by our impressive HeatStick share momentum in Japan, of our Reduced-Risk Product, iQOS."

Conference Call

A conference call, hosted by Jacek Olczak, Chief Financial Officer, with members of the investor community and news media, will be webcast at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 19, 2016. 

Dividends and Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter, PMI declared a regular quarterly dividend of $1.02, representing an annualized rate of $4.08 per common share. PMI did not make any share repurchases in the first quarter of 2016.

2016 FIRST-QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

In this press release, “PMI” refers to Philip Morris International Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to total international cigarette market, defined as worldwide cigarette volume excluding the United States, total cigarette market, total market and market shares are PMI tax-paid estimates 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. "Offtake share" for Marlboro HeatSticks in Japan represents select C-Store sales volume for HeatSticks as a percentage of the total estimated retail sales volume for cigarettes and HeatSticks. "North Africa" is defined as Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. "OTP" is defined as other tobacco products. "EEMA" is defined as Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa and includes PMI's international duty free business. In the fourth quarter of 2015, to further align with the Member State composition of the European Union, PMI transferred the management of its operations in Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Slovenia from its Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa segment to its European Union segment, resulting in the reclassification of current and prior year amounts between the two segments. The reclassification was not material to the respective segments’ results. The term “net revenues” refers to operating revenues from the sale of our products, excluding excise taxes and net of sales and promotion incentives. Operating companies income, or “OCI,” is defined as operating income, excluding general corporate expenses and the amortization of intangibles, plus equity (income)/loss in unconsolidated subsidiaries, net. PMI's management evaluates business segment performance and allocates resources based on OCI. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding asset impairment and exit costs, discrete tax items and unusual items. Management also reviews OCI, OCI margins 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, discrete tax items and unusual items), as well as free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, and net debt. PMI believes it is appropriate to disclose these measures as they improve comparability and help investors analyze business performance and trends. Non-GAAP measures used in this release should be neither considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Comparisons are to the same prior-year period unless otherwise stated. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to corresponding GAAP measures, see the relevant schedules provided with this press release. "Reduced-Risk Products" (“RRPs”) is the term the company uses to refer to products with the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm in comparison to smoking cigarettes. PMI’s RRPs are in various stages of development and commercialization, and we are conducting extensive and rigorous scientific studies to determine whether we can support claims for such products of reduced exposure to harmful and potentially harmful constituents in smoke, and ultimately claims of reduced disease risk, when compared to smoking cigarettes. Before making any such claims, we will rigorously evaluate the full set of data from the relevant scientific studies to determine whether they substantiate reduced exposure or risk. Any such claims may also be subject to government review and authorization, as is the case in the United States today. Trademarks and service marks in this press release that are the registered property of, or licensed by, the subsidiaries of PMI, are italicized.

Net revenues of $6.1 billion declined by 8.1%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $691 million and the impact of acquisitions, net revenues increased by 2.4%, driven by favorable pricing of $272 million from across all Regions, despite an unfavorable comparison with the first quarter of 2015 related to the gain in Korea. The favorable pricing was partly offset by unfavorable volume/mix of $114 million, mainly due to EEMA and Asia, partly offset by Latin America & Canada.

Reported operating companies income of $2.5 billion was down by 13.9%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $383 million and the impact of acquisitions, operating companies income decreased by 0.9%, reflecting: an unfavorable comparison to the first quarter of 2015 related to the gain in Korea; unfavorable volume/mix of $183 million, primarily in EEMA and Asia, partly offset by Latin America & Canada; and higher costs, notably in support of Reduced-Risk Products. The unfavorable volume/mix and higher costs were partly offset by favorable pricing.

Adjusted operating companies income and margin are shown in the table below and detailed in Schedule 7. Adjusted operating companies income, excluding unfavorable currency and the impact of acquisitions, decreased by 0.9%. Adjusted operating companies income margin, excluding currency and the impact of acquisitions, decreased by 1.5 points to 43.2%, reflecting the factors mentioned above.

Total PMI       196,041     198,757     (1.4 )%
                       

PMI's total cigarette shipment volume decreased 1.4%, or by 1.7% excluding favorable net estimated inventory movements, reflecting declines in Asia, principally Indonesia, Pakistan and the Philippines, partly offset by Korea. The decrease was partly offset by growth in: the EU, driven notably by France, Italy, Poland and Spain, partly offset by the United Kingdom; EEMA, driven by Egypt and Tunisia in North Africa, Turkey and Ukraine, partly offset by Algeria and Russia; and Latin America & Canada, driven mainly by Mexico, partly offset by Argentina. The decrease was further offset by the favorable estimated impact of the leap year.

Cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro increased, reflecting growth in: the EU, notably Germany, Italy and Spain, partly offset by the United Kingdom; Asia, driven by Korea and the Philippines, partly offset by Indonesia and Vietnam; and Latin America & Canada, driven by Mexico, partly offset by Argentina. The growth was partly offset by declines in EEMA, mainly due to North Africa, partly offset by Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Cigarette shipment volume of L&M increased, driven by: the EU, notably Poland and Portugal, partly offset by Germany; and EEMA, notably Egypt and Ukraine, partly offset by Russia and Saudi Arabia. The growth was partly offset by Asia, mainly Thailand.

Cigarette shipment volume of Parliament increased, driven mainly by Korea and Turkey. Cigarette shipment volume of Bond Street increased, driven mainly by Ukraine, partly offset by Russia. Cigarette shipment volume of Chesterfield increased, mainly driven by the morphing of Red & White in the Czech Republic, and Italy, partly offset by Russia. Cigarette shipment volume of Philip Morris increased, mainly driven by Italy, benefiting from the morphing of Diana, partly offset by Argentina. Cigarette shipment volume of Lark increased, principally driven by Turkey, partly offset by Japan.

Total shipment volume of OTP, in cigarette equivalent units, increased by 2.8%. Total shipment volume for cigarettes and OTP, in cigarette equivalent units, decreased by 1.2% excluding acquisitions.

PMI's cigarette market share increased in a number of key markets, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EUROPEAN UNION REGION (EU)

2016 First-Quarter

Reported net revenues of $1.9 billion decreased by 4.5%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $155 million and the impact of acquisitions, net revenues increased by 3.4%, driven by favorable pricing of $73 million, notably in Germany, partly offset by unfavorable volume/mix of $6 million.

Reported operating companies income of $906 million decreased by 2.3%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $54 million and the impact of acquisitions, operating companies income increased by 3.6%, mainly driven by favorable pricing and lower manufacturing costs, partly offset by unfavorable volume/mix of $12 million and higher costs related to: the timing of marketing support behind PMI's cigarette brand portfolio, notably Marlboro in Germany; investments behind the commercialization of Reduced-Risk Products; and the implementation of the EU Tobacco Products Directive.

Adjusted operating companies income and margin are shown in the table below and detailed on Schedule 7. Adjusted operating companies income, excluding unfavorable currency and acquisitions, increased by 3.6%. Adjusted operating companies income margin, excluding currency and the impact of acquisitions, increased by 0.1 point to 47.6%, reflecting the above-mentioned factors.

EU Total Market, PMI Shipment & Market Share Commentaries

The estimated total cigarette market in the EU of 114.9 billion units increased by 0.6%, primarily reflecting improved macroeconomics, a lower prevalence of illicit trade and e-vapor products and, in certain geographies, the estimated favorable impact of immigration. The net impact of inventory movements in the quarter was immaterial. The estimated total OTP market in the EU of 38.4 billion cigarette equivalent units increased by 1.4%, reflecting a larger total fine cut market, up by 1.2% to 33.5 billion cigarette equivalent units.

As shown in the tables below, PMI's cigarette shipment volume of 46.0 billion units increased by 2.6%, driven notably by France, Italy, Poland and Spain, partly offset by the United Kingdom, or by 2.1% excluding estimated favorable distributor inventory movements, mainly in Spain. PMI's cigarette market share increased by 0.6 points to 38.7%, with gains notably in France, Germany, Poland and Spain, partly offset by Italy and Portugal.

The estimated total cigarette market increased by 1.0%. Excluding the favorable net impact of estimated trade inventory movements, the total market increased by 0.5%, partly reflecting a lower prevalence of illicit trade and e-vapor products. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume mainly reflected the higher total cigarette market and market share growth, driven by Marlboro, benefiting from the positive performance of Marlboro25s, launched in March 2015, as well as the launch of Philip Morris 25s and 100s in January 2016. The estimated total industry fine cut category of 3.5 billion cigarette equivalent units increased by 5.4%. PMI's market share of the category increased by 0.3 points to 25.4%.

The estimated total cigarette market decreased by 1.7%. Excluding the unfavorable net impact of estimated trade inventory movements, the total market was essentially flat, principally reflecting a lower prevalence of illicit trade. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume mainly reflected higher market share, driven by Marlboro, principally reflecting the positive impact of the new Architecture 2.0 and marketing support, partly offset by L&M resulting from its moving off the round €5.00/pack price point in mid-2015. The estimated total industry fine cut category of 9.5 billion cigarette equivalent units decreased by 0.1%. PMI's market share of the category increased by 0.2 points to 12.7%.

The estimated total cigarette industry increased by 3.9%. Excluding the unfavorable net impact of estimated trade inventory movements, the total market increased by 4.6%, partly reflecting a lower prevalence of illicit trade and e-vapor products, as well as the estimated favorable impact of immigration. Although PMI's cigarette shipments increased by 2.0%, market share decreased, due notably to Marlboro, largely reflecting its price increase in the first quarter of 2015 to €5.20 per pack from its round retail price point of €5.00 per pack, and low-price Philip Morris, impacted by the growth of the super-low price segment, partly offset by super-low price Chesterfield. The estimated total industry fine cut category of 1.5 billion cigarette equivalent units increased by 5.2%. PMI's market share of the category decreased by 1.9 points to 39.6%.

The estimated total cigarette market increased by 3.1%, or by 5.6% excluding the unfavorable net impact of estimated trade inventory movements, driven primarily by a lower prevalence of e-vapor products and non-duty paid products. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume reflected the higher total market and higher market share, driven by Marlboro, reflecting the positive impact of the new Architecture 2.0, L&M, reflecting the positive impact of brand support, and Chesterfield, benefiting from its 100s and super-slims variants. The estimated total industry fine cut category of 1.1 billion cigarette equivalent units increased by 3.8%. PMI's market share of the category decreased by 8.2 points to 25.4%, mainly due to increased price competition at the bottom of the market.

The estimated total cigarette market decreased by 1.3%, mainly due to unfavorable estimated trade inventory movements. Excluding these inventory movements, the estimated total cigarette market declined by 0.5%. Excluding the net impact of favorable inventory movements, PMI's cigarette shipment volume increased by 3.1%, driven by higher market share reflecting the strong performance of Marlboro, benefiting from a round price point in the vending channel, the new Architecture 2.0, and an improving economy. The estimated total industry fine cut category of 2.1 billion cigarette equivalent units decreased by 3.9%. PMI's market share of the fine cut category decreased by 1.3 points to 13.1%.

EASTERN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA REGION (EEMA)

2016 First-Quarter

Reported net revenues of $1.6 billion decreased by 10.2%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $203 million and the impact of acquisitions, net revenues increased by 1.2%, reflecting favorable pricing of $111 million, driven principally by Russia and Turkey, partly offset by an unfavorable comparison in Ukraine. The favorable pricing was partly offset by unfavorable volume/mix of $90 million, notably due to Algeria, primarily reflecting the impact of excise tax-driven price increases, and the impact of price increases in Russia; partly offset by Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.

Reported operating companies income of $633 million decreased by 26.9%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $177 million and the impact of acquisitions, operating companies income decreased by 6.5%, principally reflecting unfavorable volume/mix of $106 million, mainly due to the markets mentioned above, and the timing of marketing and sales investments, including those behind the commercialization of iQOS. The unfavorable volume/mix and higher costs were partly offset by favorable pricing, despite the unfavorable comparison in Ukraine.

Adjusted operating companies income and margin are shown in the table below and detailed on Schedule 7. Adjusted operating companies income, excluding unfavorable currency and the impact of acquisitions, decreased by 6.5%. Adjusted operating companies income margin, excluding currency and the impact of acquisitions, decreased by 3.6 points to 44.9%, reflecting the above-mentioned factors.

EEMA PMI Shipment Commentaries

Despite a difficult comparison with the first quarter of 2015 in which PMI's cigarette shipment volume grew by 4.2%, excluding acquisitions, PMI's cigarette shipment volume of 63.1 billion units in the quarter increased by 0.8%, or by 0.4% excluding the favorable net impact of estimated inventory movements, mainly reflecting growth in Egypt and Tunisia in North Africa, Turkey and Ukraine, partly offset by Algeria and Russia. PMI's cigarette shipment volume of premium brands decreased by 2.7%, mainly due to: Marlboro, down by 8.7% to 17.5 billion units, mainly due to North Africa, partly offset by Saudi Arabia and Turkey, partly offset by Parliament, up by 0.7% to 7.3 billion units, primarily driven by Turkey. PMI's cigarette shipment volume of L&M increased by 8.6% to 12.9 billion units, mainly driven by North Africa, principally Egypt, and Ukraine, partly offset by Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Total     27.8 %   28.0 %   (0.2 )
                     

The estimated total cigarette market decreased by 6.0%, mainly due to the impact of excise tax-driven retail price increases. Excluding the unfavorable net impact of estimated distributor inventory movements, PMI's cigarette shipment volume declined by 4.8%, mainly reflecting the lower total market, and lower market share due to a decline of mid-price L&M and Chesterfield, partly offset by super-low Next/Dubliss in "Others."

In Turkey, estimated industry size, PMI cigarette shipment volume and February quarter-to-date market share performance, as measured by Nielsen, are shown in the table below.

Total     43.9 %   43.3 %   0.6  
                     

The estimated total cigarette market increased by 11.7%, mainly due to a lower prevalence of illicit trade, as well as the estimated favorable impact of immigration. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume was mainly driven by a higher total market and market share, led by Marlboro, partly offset by L&M and Chesterfield in "Others" reflecting the impact of competitive price repositioning.

In Ukraine, estimated industry size, PMI cigarette shipment volume and February quarter-to-date market share performance, as measured by Nielsen, are shown in the table below.

The estimated total market increased by 17.3%, or by 12.5% excluding the favorable net impact of estimated trade inventory movements, mainly driven by a lower prevalence of illicit trade. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume reflected the higher total cigarette market. The decrease in PMI's market share, as measured by Nielsen, was primarily due to Marlboro, reflecting the impact of widened price gaps, and Chesterfield and President in "Others," mainly resulting from competitive price pressure in the low price segment, partially offset by low price Bond Street, and L&M in "Others."

ASIA REGION

2016 First-Quarter

Reported net revenues of $2.0 billion decreased by 8.7%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $150 million and the impact of acquisitions, net revenues decreased by 1.7%, mainly due to unfavorable volume/mix of $46 million, principally in: Australia, reflecting a lower total cigarette market and continued, albeit moderating, down-trading, and Indonesia, resulting from a lower total cigarette market and share; partly offset by Korea, reflecting a favorable comparison with the first quarter of 2015, and the Philippines, mainly driven by up-trading to Marlboro. Despite an unfavorable pricing variance compared to the first quarter of 2015 related to the gain in Korea, the unfavorable volume/mix was partly offset by favorable pricing of $9 million, driven principally by Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Reported operating companies income of $778 million decreased by 16.7%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $63 million and the impact of acquisitions, operating companies income decreased by 10.0%, mainly reflecting: the unfavorable pricing comparison in Korea mentioned above; unfavorable volume/mix of $88 million, notably in Australia and Indonesia, partly offset by Korea and the Philippines; and higher costs, mainly in Indonesia, notably related to cigarette brand support, and Japan, primarily related to the commercialization of iQOS. The unfavorable volume/mix and higher costs were partly offset by favorable pricing.

Adjusted operating companies income and margin are shown in the table below and detailed on Schedule 7. Adjusted operating companies income, excluding unfavorable currency and the impact of acquisitions, decreased by 10.0%. Adjusted operating companies income margin, excluding unfavorable currency and the impact of acquisitions, decreased by 3.6 points to 39.7%, reflecting the above-mentioned factors.

The estimated total cigarette market decreased by 5.9%, mainly due to a soft economy and the impact of price increases, as well as an unfavorable comparison with the first quarter of 2015 in which the estimated total cigarette market increased by 6.0%. The decrease in PMI's cigarette shipments was principally due to the lower estimated total cigarette market and lower market share, mainly reflecting the soft performance of PMI's SKM portfolio due to competitors' discounted product offerings, partly offset by share gains in the SKT segment.

In Japan, estimated industry size, PMI cigarette shipment volume and market share performance are shown in the table below.

Others     1.7 %   1.9 %   (0.2 )
Total     24.0 %   25.6 %   (1.6 )
                     

The estimated total cigarette market increased by 2.3%, driven by estimated retail trade inventory movements and adult smoker purchases ahead of the April 2016 price increase of certain brands of PMI's key competitor. Excluding these favorable inventory movements, the estimated total cigarette market was essentially flat, reflecting a favorable comparison with the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in PMI's cigarette shipments in the quarter was due to lower cigarette market share. This decline in PMI's cigarette market share reflected the unfavorable impact of the inventory movements mentioned above, as well as competitors' differentiated menthol taste product offerings. The estimated national market share of Marlboro HeatSticks in the quarter was 0.8%.

In Korea, estimated industry size, PMI cigarette shipment volume and market share performance are shown in the table below.

Total     20.9 %   20.9 %   —  
                     

The estimated total cigarette market increased by 40.9%, mainly driven by a favorable comparison with the first quarter of 2015 that was negatively impacted by the disruptive excise tax increase of 120% and related price increases, as well as the reversal of estimated trade inventory built up in the fourth quarter of 2014 in anticipation of the tax increase. Excluding the impact of these estimated inventory movements, the total cigarette market increased by approximately 14.4%. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume mainly reflected these same dynamics.

Total     73.6 %   72.2 %   1.4  
                     

The estimated total cigarette market decreased by 10.8%, mainly due to the impact of price increases, notably in the fourth quarter of 2015 ahead of the January 2016 excise tax increase. The decline in PMI's cigarette shipment volume reflected the impact of these price increases, particularly on its low and super-low price brands, Fortune and Jackpot. The increase in PMI's cigarette market share in the quarter was driven by Marlboro, benefiting from its narrowed price gap with lower-priced brands.

LATIN AMERICA & CANADA REGION

2016 First-Quarter

Reported net revenues of $650 million decreased by 10.5%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $183 million and the impact of acquisitions, net revenues increased by 14.7%, driven by favorable pricing of $79 million, principally in Argentina and Canada, and favorable volume/mix of $28 million, mainly driven by Mexico, principally reflecting a higher total cigarette market.

Reported operating companies income of $229 million decreased by 0.4%. Excluding unfavorable currency of $89 million and the impact of acquisitions, operating companies income increased by 38.3%, principally reflecting favorable pricing, and favorable volume/mix of $23 million, mainly driven by Mexico, partly offset by higher inflation-driven costs in Argentina.

Adjusted operating companies income and margin are shown in the table below and detailed on Schedule 7. Adjusted operating companies income, excluding unfavorable currency and the impact of acquisitions, increased by 38.3%. Adjusted operating companies income margin, excluding unfavorable currency and the impact of acquisitions, increased by 6.5 points to 38.2%, principally driven by the above-mentioned factors.

The estimated total cigarette market decreased by 5.5%, or by 4.3% excluding the unfavorable net impact of trade inventory movements, mainly due to a soft economic environment and the impact of price increases. The decrease in PMI's shipment volume reflected the impact of the same dynamics as for the total market. PMI's lower cigarette market share primarily reflected the growth in competitors' super-low priced products that was fueled by in-switching from illicit trade. PMI's share of the growing capsule segment, up by 2.2 points to represent 18.0% of the total market, increased by 1.3 points to 73.7%.

The estimated total cigarette market decreased by 0.4%, or increased by 6.0% excluding the unfavorable impact of estimated competitors' trade inventory movements, mainly driven by improved consumer spending. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume was principally driven by higher cigarette market share, largely benefiting from the aforementioned inventory movements.
