This report and related materials contain projections of future results and goals and other forward-looking statements, including statements regarding business plans and strategies. 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 forwardlooking 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 in certain markets or countries; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco use and intellectual property; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; the impact and consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; the impact of COVID-19 on PMI’s business; 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, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as components and materials for our electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. 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; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent, including women or diverse candidates; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our reducedrisk product category’s performance. PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. 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.
In this and in related communications, the term “materiality”, “material”, and similar terms, when used in the context of economic, environmental, and social topics, are defined in the referenced sustainability standards, and are not meant to correspond to the concept of materiality under the U.S. securities laws and/or disclosures required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The aspirational targets and goals in this do not constitute financial projections.

PMI’s sustainability materiality assessment is the foundation
of its sustainability strategy—it allows PMI to identify, assess, and prioritize ESG topics.
In line with the principles of double materiality,the concept of reporting on sustainability topics both from the “inside out” as well as the “outside in,” PMI’s 2021 sustainability materiality analysis assessed the potential impact of these topics on its performance and business overall in terms of risks and opportunities that could have an impact on the company’s ability to create value.

Statement of purpose

PMI’s 2017 Proxy Statement contained a letter to shareholders from the Board of Directors announcing for the first time our company’s smoke-free vision. PMI aims to completely replace cigarettes as soon as possible with smoke-free products that are scientifically substantiated to be less harmful than smoking and to evolve in the longer term into a broader lifestyle, consumer wellness, and healthcare company.
The company’s purpose is clearly articulated in PMI’s Statement of Purpose, a declaration issued by its Board of Directors. The Statement of Purpose also recognizes those stakeholders most critical to long-term value creation and sustainability.
In early 2022, PMI’s Board of Directors issued another letter reaffirming our purpose of delivering a smoke-free future and announcing the expansion of our business for the long-term toward areas outside of tobacco and nicotine.

It enables the company to maintain consistency and coherence as it transforms rapidly in order to leave cigarettes behind and ventures into areas that represent new avenues of growth."

This report and related materials contain projections of future results and goals and other forward-looking statements, including statements regarding business plans and strategies. 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 forwardlooking 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 in certain markets or countries; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco use and intellectual property; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; the impact and consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; the impact of COVID-19 on PMI’s business; 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, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as components and materials for our electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. 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; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent, including women or diverse candidates; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our reducedrisk product category’s performance. PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. 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.
In this and in related communications, the term “materiality”, “material”, and similar terms, when used in the context of economic, environmental, and social topics, are defined in the referenced sustainability standards, and are not meant to correspond to the concept of materiality under the U.S. securities laws and/or disclosures required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The aspirational targets and goals in this do not constitute financial projections.

Transforming the company
3
Transforming PMI is not only about substituting one product with a new one. It also requires transforming
the company’s entire value chain, as well as the way it engages with society. This requires a holistic review
and overhaul of the entire business model and value proposition, which brings with it new opportunities as well as challenges throughout all aspects of the business.
The most visible part of PMI's transformation is that related to its product lines. Over the past decade and a half, the company has harnessed scientific and technological advances to deve lop alternatives to cigarettes that are scientifically substantiated to be a better choice for adult smokers than continued smoking.
Product transformation
Innovating for better products
PMI's Business Transformation
Engaging with external stakeholders is critical to achieving PMI’s purpose. The company’s ability to successfully transform requires that it works together with various segments of society to create a paradigm shift in which cigarettes become obsolete.
External transformation
Changing the way PMI engages with stakeholders
Beyond PMI’s operations, the company is transforming every step of its value chain to serve the company’s purpose. PMI recognizes the challenges these changes pose and are actively helping all those impacted (in direct and indirect operations) to best manage the transition.

Business transformation metrics

PMI realizes that business transformation is a very company-specific journey, which ESG reporting standards do not adequately capture. To make its progress both measurable and verifiable, it developed Business Transformation Metrics, a bespoke set of financial and nonfinancial key performance indicators (KPIs).
These metrics showcase how the company is allocating resources away from its legacy business as it advances toward a future in which PMI no longer makes or sells cigarettes.

Sustainability strategy
5
For PMI, sustainability is more than just a means to minimize negative externalities and mitigate risks while maximizing operational efficiency and resource optimization. PMI sees sustainability as a fundamental opportunity for innovation, growth, and purpose-led, impact-driven, long-term value creation. Accordingly, PMI works hard to integrate sustainability into every aspect of its business and activities.
PMI's strategy crystallizes the notion of two distinct forms of social and environmental impacts—those generated by its products (what it produces) and those generated by its business operations (how it produces). This approach allows PMI to appropriately highlight that, consistent with its sustainability materiality analysis results, addressing the social impacts generated by its products is the core of its strategy.
The company’s approach to sustainability addresses its ESG priorities through eight impact-driven strategies: four focus on product impacts, another four on impacts derived from its business operations. The company’s policies, rules, and procedures define its ability to successfully implement these strategies.

Sustainability strategy
5
For PMI, sustainability is more than just a means
to minimize negative externalities and mitigate r
isks while maximizing operational efficiency and resource optimization. PMI sees sustainability as a fundamental opportunity for innovation, growth, and purpose-led, impact-driven, long-term value creation. Accordingly, PMI works hard to integrate sustainability into every aspect of its business
and activities.
PMI's strategy crystallizes the notion of two distinct forms of social and environmental impacts—those generated by its products (what it produces) and those generated by its business operations (how it produces). This approach allows PMI to appropriately highlight that, consistent with its sustainability materiality analysis results, addressing the social impacts generated by its products is
the core of its strategy.
The company’s approach to sustainability addresses its ESG priorities through eight impact-driven strategies: four focus on product impacts,
another four on impacts derived from its business operations. The company’s policies, rules, and procedures define its abilityto successfully implement these strategies.

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; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent, including women or diverse candidates; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our reducedrisk product category’s performance. PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. 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.

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 in certain markets or countries; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco use and intellectual property; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; the impact and consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; changes in adult smoker behavior; the impact of COVID-19 on PMI’s business; 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, availability, and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials, as well as components and materials for our electronic devices; and the integrity of its information systems and effectiveness of its data privacy policies. 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; if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent, including women or diverse candidates; or if it is unable to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits from recent transactions and acquisitions. Future results are also subject to the lower predictability of our reducedrisk product category’s performance. PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including PMI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. 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.
