A FUTURE WITHOUT CIGARETTES IS POSSIBLE
AND WE’RE DOING OUR PART TO GET THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Led by science and innovation, Philip Morris International has disrupted its business and industry with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes.
We are delivering smoke-free products that are a better choice for adults than continued smoking. Our ambition is to become substantially smoke-free by 2030, with our smoke-free business generating over two-thirds of total net revenues.

Emmanuel Babeau’s highlights from our Q3 2024 results
Our third quarter results are out.
Following an excellent first half,
we delivered another
outstanding performance in Q3.
All key elements of the business performed
at or above expectations,
with our smoke-free business
accelerating on an underlying basis.
Our heated tobacco unit volumes delivered
a step-up in adjusted
in-market sales growth in Q3,
as we saw strong momentum supported by
our commercial programs, including events
to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of
the launch of IQOS,
our leading heated tobacco product.
Nicotine pouch shipment volumes were at
the higher end of our expectations,
with a significant sequential step up to deliver
growth in the U.S.
of over 40% year on year.
We had a small but growing contribution
from our e-vapor business, as we saw
continued volume momentum
led by our closed pod offering.
And finally, our combustible business
delivered a very good quarter led by
strong pricing and resilient volumes.
Q3 net revenues grew close to 12% organically,
driven by best-in-class
volumes and pricing.
Additionally, we delivered substantial
margin expansion and earnings growth,
resulting in +18% adjusted earnings per share growth
in constant currency, and over 14% on a dollar basis.
Our overall Q3 performance epitomized
the strengths of our strategy, with underlying
momentum across categories bolstered
by our proactive measures on
pricing and cost efficiencies.
