Philip Morris International Inc. reported a strong underlying performance in the second quarter of 2022, with both top- and bottom-line growth exceeding initial expectations. The company's success was driven by excellent IQOS momentum, including accelerating growth in pro forma total IQOS users and heated tobacco unit in-market sales volume, as well as favorable cigarette category trends. As a result, PMI raised its outlook for the full year and now expects to deliver pro forma adjusted growth in net revenues and diluted EPS.
Net revenues from smoke-free products accounted for 29.9% of total net revenues, or 29.1% on a pro forma basis.
Market share for heated tobacco units in IQOS markets up by 1.2 points to 7.5% on a pro forma basis.
Pro forma total IQOS users at quarter-end estimated at approximately 19.0 million, up by 3.2 million versus June 30, 2021.
Announced recommended public offer for Swedish Match AB of SEK 106 in cash per share and suspension of PMI's three-year share repurchase program.
PMI is raising its outlook for the full year and now expects to deliver pro forma adjusted growth in net revenues of 6% to 8%, on an organic basis, and diluted EPS of 10% to 12%, excluding currency, underpinned by pro forma heated tobacco unit shipment volume of 90 to 92 billion units.
