Philip Morris International Updates Organizational Structure and Reporting Segments

Philip Morris International has implemented a new organizational model effective January 1, 2026, which includes two primary business units: International and U.S. This change has resulted in the replacement of four geographic segments with three reportable segments: International Smoke-Free, International Combustibles, and U.S. The company has posted recast historical shipment volume and financial information to reflect these changes, which are intended to aid investors without impacting previously reported financial results.

The consolidated statement of earnings will now include a new category for 'Corporate expenses and other,' which encompasses foreign currency gains/losses and compensation expenses related to share unit awards. The recast shipment volume and financial information for 2025, 2024, and prior years have been provided in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, and these adjustments do not represent a restatement of prior financial statements but rather a reclassification of certain expenses. This updated structure aims to enhance the company’s agility and support its transition towards becoming a smoke-free organization.
