Regulatory News:
Philip Morris International Inc.’s (NYSE / Paris Euronext: PM) Chief Financial Officer, Jacek Olczak, addresses investors today
at the CAGNY Conference in Boca Raton, Florida.
The presentation and Q&A session are being webcast live, in a listen-only mode, beginning at approximately 3:00 p.m. ET, at
www.pmi.com/cagny, and on the PMI Investor Relations App available at
www.pmi.com/irapp. An archived copy of the webcast, together with
presentation remarks and slides, will be available on the same site and the App. The presentation will provide an overview of the
company’s 2016 results and 2017 outlook, as well as its Reduced-Risk Products portfolio, with a primary focus on its heat-not-burn
IQOS.
PMI also increases, for currency only, its 2017 full-year reported diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $4.80 to
$4.95, at prevailing exchange rates, versus $4.48 in 2016. Excluding an unfavorable currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates,
of approximately $0.08 per share for the full-year 2017, compared to unfavorable currency of $0.18 per share when the company
provided guidance on February 2, 2017, the reported diluted earnings per share range represents an increase of approximately 9% to
12% versus adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.48 in 2016. This forecast:
- reflects net revenue, excluding excise taxes, growth in excess of the company’s current
currency-neutral annual growth target range of 4% to 6%;
- does not include any share repurchases in 2017; and
- excludes the impact of future acquisitions, unanticipated asset impairment and exit cost charges,
future changes in currency exchange rates, and any unusual events.
