For the full year, the estimated total cigarette market increased by 0.2%,
reflecting higher tax declarations by local manufacturers, as well as a
favorable comparison to the full year 2016, which declined by 11.6% mainly due
to the impact of tax-driven price increases. The decrease in PMI's cigarette
shipment volume was mainly due to lower cigarette market share, reflecting the
growth of the low price segment, where local manufacturers are exempt from
paying minimum excise tax, resulting in widened price gaps with premium
Marlboro and mid-price Philip Morris , partly offset by low-price Chesterfield
that benefited from successful brand portfolio consolidation of a low-price
brand in "Others."

In the quarter, the estimated total cigarette market decreased by 2.5%, mainly
due to the impact of excise-tax driven price increases. The decrease in PMI's
cigarette shipment volume was mainly due to the lower total market and lower
cigarette market share, largely reflecting the same dynamics as for the full
year.

In Canada , estimated industry size, PMI shipment volume and market share
performance, shown in the table below, include cigarettes and PMI's heated
tobacco units.

*Includes heated tobacco units.

For the full year, the estimated total market decreased by 6.3%, mainly due to
the impact of price increases. The decrease in PMI's shipment volume mainly
reflected the lower total market, as well as lower cigarette market share,
unfavorably impacted by estimated net trade inventory movements.

In the quarter, the estimated total market decreased by 2.6%, mainly
reflecting the same dynamics as for the full year. The decrease in PMI's
shipment volume and market share reflected the impact of estimated trade
inventory movements.

and cigarette market share performance are shown in the table below.

For the full year, the estimated total cigarette market decreased by 1.1%, or
increased by 1.2% excluding the net impact of estimated trade inventory
movements. The decrease in PMI's cigarette shipment volume mainly reflected
the lower total cigarette market, as well as lower cigarette market share. The
decrease of PMI's cigarette market share largely reflected the net impact of
the estimated trade inventory movements, as well as lower share of Delicados ,
impacted by competitive pressure in the low price segment.

In the quarter, the estimated total cigarette market increased by 4.5%, or by
3.1% excluding the net impact of estimated trade inventory movements. The
increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume mainly reflected the higher total
cigarette market. The decrease of PMI's cigarette market share largely
reflected the same dynamics as for the full year.

Philip Morris International: Who We Are

We are a leading international tobacco company engaged in the manufacture and
sale of cigarettes and other nicotine-containing products in markets outside
the United States of America. We’re building our future on smoke-free
products that are a much better consumer choice than continuing to smoke
cigarettes. Through multidisciplinary capabilities in product development,
state-of-the-art facilities and scientific substantiation, we aim to ensure
that our smoke-free products meet adult consumer preferences and rigorous
regulatory requirements. Our vision is that these products ultimately replace
cigarettes to the benefit of adult smokers, society, our company and our
shareholders. For more information, see www.pmi.com (http://www.pmi.com) and
www.pmiscience.com (http://www.pmiscience.com) .

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains projections of future results and other
forward-looking statements. 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 “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: 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; 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, natural
disasters and conflicts; 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,
and limitations on the ability to repatriate funds; 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 reduced-risk products or if regulation or taxation do not
differentiate between such products and cigarettes; 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-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2017. 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.
