Forward Guidance
Philip Morris International raised its full-year guidance for 2024, with adjusted diluted EPS expected to be in the range of $6.33 to $6.45. This forecast includes assumptions for industry volume, shipment volume growth, net revenue growth, and operating cash flow.
Positive Outlook
- A broadly stable total international industry volume for cigarettes and HTUs, excluding China and the U.S.
- Total cigarette, HTU and oral smoke-free product shipment volume growth for PMI of 1% to 2% driven by smoke-free products.
- Net revenue growth of 7.5% to 9% on an organic basis.
- Organic operating income growth of 11% to 13%.
- Operating cash flow of approximately $11 billion at prevailing exchange rates, subject to year-end working capital requirements.
Challenges Ahead
- A second half acceleration in HTU adjusted IMS to deliver around 13% growth for the full year, and HTU shipment volumes of around 140 billion units. This assumes no volumes in Taiwan and a slightly greater impact from consumer adjustment to the EU characterizing flavor ban than previously assumed.
- Nicotine pouch shipment volume in the U.S. of 560 to 580 million cans.
