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. 

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

The estimated total cigarette market increased by 15.2%, or by 3.2% excluding
the favorable net impact of estimated trade inventory movements related to the
timing of price increases, primarily reflecting improved market conditions and a
lower prevalence of illicit trade. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment
volume and market share benefited from the same dynamics as for the total
cigarette market.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains projections of future results and other
forward-looking statements. Achievement of projected 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 "safe harbor" 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. 

PMI's business risks include: significant increases in cigarette-related taxes;
the imposition of discriminatory excise tax structures; fluctuations in customer
inventory levels due to increases in product taxes and prices; increasing
marketing and regulatory restrictions, often with the goal of reducing or
preventing the use of tobacco products; health concerns relating to the use of
tobacco products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related
to tobacco use; intense competition; the effects of global and individual
country economic, regulatory and political developments; changes in adult smoker
behavior; lost revenues as a result of counterfeiting, contraband and
cross-border purchases; governmental investigations; unfavorable currency
exchange rates and currency devaluations; adverse changes in applicable
corporate tax laws; adverse changes in the cost and quality of tobacco and other
agricultural products and raw materials; and the integrity of its information
systems. PMI's future profitability may also be adversely affected should it be
unsuccessful in its attempts to produce and commercialize products that have the
potential to reduce individual risk and population harm; if it is unable to
successfully introduce new products, promote brand equity, enter new markets or
improve its margins through increased prices and productivity gains; if it is
unable to expand its brand portfolio internally or through acquisitions and the
development of strategic business relationships; or if it is unable to attract
and retain the best global talent. 

PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly
filed documents, including the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
PMI cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not a complete
discussion of all potential risks and uncertainties. PMI does not undertake to
update any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, except
in the normal course of its public disclosure obligations.
