<p class="has-drop-cap">Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) has released its earnings for the <a href="https://www.pmi.com/investor-relations/reports-filings" target="_blank" aria-label="fourth quarter of 2023 (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">fourth quarter of 2023</a>, revealing significant insights into its performance and strategic directions.</p>
<p>The fourth quarter saw Philip Morris International continue its robust performance, with notable growth in smoke-free products, now representing a significant portion of its net revenues. Smoke-free products accounted for 39.3% of total net revenues, a testament to PMI’s strategic pivot towards reduced-risk products and its commitment to a smoke-free future. This shift is further highlighted by the adjusted in-market sales volume for heated tobacco units (HTUs), which saw an estimated increase of 13.9%, marking a pivotal shift in consumer preferences towards smoke-free alternatives​​.</p>
