PMI's Corporate Vision: Global Leader in a "Smoke-Free Society"

Philip Morris International (hereinafter "PMI") is an international consumer goods company committed to evolving its portfolio, including products beyond combustible cigarettes and nicotine, to achieve a "smoke-free society" in the long term. Its current product portfolio primarily consists of combustible cigarettes and smoke-free products. As of December 31, 2025, PMI's smoke-free products are deployed in major cities or nationwide in 106 markets worldwide, with an estimated 43.5 million adult smokers (aged 20 and over in Japan, hereinafter the same) globally using PMI's smoke-free products. The smoke-free products business accounts for approximately 41.5% of PMI's full-year net revenue in 2025.

Since 2008, PMI has invested 16 billion USD in developing, scientifically substantiating, and commercializing innovative smoke-free products for adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke, aiming to end the sale of combustible cigarettes. This includes building world-class scientific assessment capabilities, particularly in preclinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, and post-market surveillance. As a result of rigorous, science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match's General snus and ZYN oral nicotine pouches, as well as certain IQOS devices and tobacco sticks from PMI. These were the first authorizations in their respective categories. Additionally, some IQOS devices and tobacco sticks, along with General snus, were the first to receive FDA authorization as Modified Risk Tobacco Products (MRTPs). With a strong foundation and significant expertise in the life sciences, PMI has a long-term goal of expanding into the wellness sector, aiming to enrich lives through the provision of seamless health experiences.
