NEW YORK, April 23, 2008 – Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE / Euronext Paris: PM) today announced diluted earnings per share of $0.89 in the first-quarter of 2008, up 29.0% from $0.69, including items detailed on the attached Schedule 4.

“Our robust first quarter results are a terrific start out of the gate,” said Louis Camilleri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.


“Importantly, we continue to witness an improvement in our business fundamentals as evidenced by the double-digit revenue and income growth recorded in each of our geographic segments.”

“While we continue to face some challenges in certain markets, I am confident that we have the appropriate strategies and resources in place to deal with them effectively.”

Conference Call

A conference call, hosted by Hermann Waldemer, Chief Financial Officer, with members of the investment community and news media will be webcast at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 23, 2008. Access is available at www.pmintl.com.

On March 28, 2008, 100% of the shares of PMI were distributed to Altria shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on March 19, 2008 (the “record date”). Altria distributed one share of PMI for every share of Altria common stock outstanding as of the record date.

PMI shares began regular way trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “PM”, as well as the NYSE Euronext Paris and SWX Swiss exchanges, on March 31, 2008. PMI is a constituent of the Standard & Poor’s 100 and 500 Indices.

PMI mailed an Information Statement containing details of the PMI spin-off to shareholders as of the record date. The Information Statement and answers to frequently-asked questions (FAQs) are available in the investor relations section of the PMI website at www.pmintl.com.

2008 Full-Year Forecast

PMI increases its forecast for diluted earnings per share, reflecting favorable currency, business momentum and increased reinvestment in the business, to a range of $3.18 to $3.24 for the full-year 2008, representing a growth rate of approximately 14% to 16%, from a revised pro-forma adjusted base of $2.79 per share in 2007. This compares to a previously disclosed range of $3.11 to $3.17 for the full-year 2008.

Following the completion of the spin-off, historical basic and diluted earnings per share amounts have been recalculated based on the actual number of shares issued by Altria Group, Inc. on the Distribution Date. Consequently, the previously disclosed 2007 pro-forma adjusted base per share of $2.78 has been revised to $2.79. A reconciliation of 2007 reported results to 2007 pro forma adjusted results, by quarter and for the full-year, is provided on Schedules 5 through 9.

This forecast includes the announced acquisition of Interval and other OTP trademarks, but excludes the impact of any potential additional future acquisitions and a number of other factors. The factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to these projections.

Acquisition of Interval and other OTP trademarks

PMI announces it has reached an agreement to acquire the fine cut trademark Interval and certain other trademarks in the Other Tobacco Products (OTP) category from Imperial Tobacco Group PLC.

The transaction has a value of 254 million euros and, on a full-year basis, would be expected to increase PMI’s net earnings per share by approximately $0.01. In 2007, the acquired trademarks generated an estimated operating companies income of 25 million euros and accounted for an approximate 2% share of the total fine cut category in PMI’s EU region with Interval, the leading fine cut brand in France, holding a 14.8% share of the fine cut category in France.

This acquisition complements PMI’s fine cut portfolio and will bring the company’s total share of this profitable and growing category in PMI’s EU region to over 10%.

The agreement is subject to approval by the European Commission and certain local regulatory agencies and is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2008.

First-quarter 2008 reported operating companies income surged 31.7% to $2.8 billion, driven mainly by solid performances from all business segments of $371 million and favorable currency of $255 million. Excluding currency and acquisitions, adjusted operating companies income was up a robust 16.7%, mainly due to favorable pricing, primarily in Poland, Russia and Turkey, partially offset by modest unfavorable volume/mix that was mainly due to total market declines in France and Germany, and to lower shipments in the Czech Republic following inventory adjustments related to the January 2008 excise tax increase.

Adjusted for the items shown in the table below, operating companies income grew 29.1%.

PMI cigarette shipment volume of 217.9 billion units was up 2.2% for the quarter, driven by EEMA, Asia and Latin America. The shipment decline in the EU of 5.9% was adversely distorted by unfavorable inventory movements in the Czech Republic and Germany. On an organic basis, excluding acquisitions, PMI’s cigarette shipment volume was down 0.8%.

Total cigarette shipments of Marlboro of 77.3 billion units were down 1.2%, with growth in EEMA, Asia and Latin America offset by a decline in the EU. Total cigarette shipments of

L&M of 23.8 billion units were down 8.0%, with a decline in EEMA partially offset by growth in the EU. Driven by a strong increase in shipments in EEMA, total cigarette shipments of Chesterfield grew 18.3% versus the prior-year quarter. Total cigarette shipments of Parliament recorded similar strong growth, up 18.8%, with gains in EEMA and Asia. Virginia Slims, led by shipments in Asia, grew 13.7%.

Total shipment volume of OTP (in cigarette equivalent units) surged more than 33.0%, fueled by strong growth in Germany and Poland.

PMI’s first-quarter 2008 market share performance improved versus the same period in 2007 in a number of markets, including Argentina, Belgium, Egypt, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain and Ukraine.

EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

2008 First-Quarter Results

In the EU, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 12.6% to reach $2.4 billion, due mainly to favorable currency of $268 million. Excluding the impact of currency, net revenues increased 0.2%.

Operating companies income grew by 27.1% to $1.3 billion, due to favorable currency of $178 million, and higher pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume and mix, particularly in France and Germany, due to total market declines. Excluding the impact of currency, operating companies income grew 9.8%.

Operating companies income grew 24.4% for the first quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below.

The total cigarette market in the EU declined by 5.5% in the first quarter, driven by the build-up of trade inventories in the Czech Republic in the fourth quarter of 2007 in anticipation of the January 2008 excise tax increase, partially offset by an increase in competitor trade inventories in Germany. PMI’s cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined by 5.9%, reflecting lower shipments in the Czech Republic and a lower EU market.

PMI’s market share in the EU was down 0.6 points to 38.8% as market share gains in many key Western European markets, including Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, were more than offset by share declines in France, Poland and Switzerland. Whilst Marlboro’s share in the EU was down slightly for the quarter, its share was up versus the fourth-quarter of 2007. Adjusted for the above-mentioned distortions in the Czech Republic and Germany, PMI’s EU market share is estimated to have reached a level of 39.0%.

In France, the total cigarette market was down 5.0% for the first-quarter 2008, reflecting the impact of the August 2007 price increase as well as the expansion of public smoking restrictions in January 2008. PMI’s shipments were down 11.6% and market share decreased 2.4 points to 40.9%, mainly reflecting a lower share for Marlboro following its passage of the 5.00 euros per pack price point in August 2007. Marlboro is nevertheless showing signs of stabilization. Philip Morris’ continued share growth in the first-quarter 2008 has allowed the brand to become the third-largest in the market and second, after Marlboro, in the blond segment.

In Germany, total cigarette industry shipments were down 2.7%, distorted by competitor trade inventories. Adjusted for this distortion, the total cigarette market declined by approximately 6.0%, due to the on-going implementation of public smoking restrictions currently affecting 14 out of 16 states, and price increases in the super-low price segment effective in February 2008. PMI’s shipments were down 6.1% and market share, adjusted for trade inventory distortions, is estimated to have reached a level of 36.7%, up 0.9 share points, driven by strong L&M momentum.

In Italy, the total market was down 1.5%, primarily reflecting the impact of the January 2008 price increase. Although PMI’s shipments declined 1.0%, market share grew to 54.7%, up 0.5 points, driven by Chesterfield, Merit and Diana.

In Poland, the total cigarette market was down 8.7%, reflecting the impact of the 2007 price increase driven by EU tax harmonization. PMI’s shipments declined 15.3% and market share declined 2.4 points to 38.4%, reflecting down-trading of Red & White consumers to lower-

priced competitive brands and the continued erosion of the 70mm segment. Marlboro share was essentially flat for the quarter.

In Spain, the total market was up by 5.0%, including the favorable impact of a lower January 2007 market due to trade inventory movements at the end of 2006. PMI’s in-market sales grew 5.5%, resulting in a share gain of 0.1 point to 31.8%, mainly due to higher Marlboro and Chesterfield share. PMI’s shipments grew 3.8%, reflecting higher in-market sales, partially offset by the timing of shipments.

EASTERN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA (EEMA)

2008 First-Quarter Results

In EEMA, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 20.8% to reach $1.8 billion, including favorable currency of $136 million. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 11.8% due to higher volume and pricing. Net revenues increased significantly in all major markets, principally in Egypt, Russia and Ukraine, reflecting higher volume and pricing, and in Turkey, reflecting higher pricing.

In the first quarter of 2008, operating companies income soared 39.7%, including favorable currency of $46 million. Excluding the impact of currency, operating companies income was up 31.6% with solid gains in all major markets. The income gain reflects a combination of strong volume growth, particularly in Russia, favorable product mix due to continued up-trading in Eastern Europe and improved pricing across EEMA, especially Russia and Turkey.

Operating companies income grew 37.0% for the first quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below.

PMI cigarette shipment volume increased 2.9% driven by gains in most major markets.

In Russia, shipment volume was up 7.8%, reflecting improved performance in the market, continued up-trading and a favorable comparison with the first quarter of 2007. In-market sales during the first quarter of 2007 were depressed following tax/price increases, the introduction of maximum recommended retail prices and temporary adjustments due to the change of distribution systems. PMI’s market share of 26.7% was up 0.1 point, with the higher-priced brands Marlboro, Parliament, Virginia Slims, Muratti and Chesterfield all registering share gains.

In Turkey, volume was essentially unchanged, but with an improved product mix, with double-digit growth of the premium brand portfolio, Parliament, Marlboro and the recently-launched Virginia Slims, offset by the decline of lower-margin brands. Total market share of 39.6% declined 1.4 points in the quarter, but has stabilized in recent months.

In Ukraine, PMI’s market share rose 1.5 points to 34.7%, driven by continued consumer up-trading to Marlboro, Parliament and Chesterfield.

ASIA

2008 First-Quarter Results

In Asia, net revenues, excluding excise taxes, increased by 10.2% to reach $1.6 billion, including favorable currency of $60 million. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 6.0%.

In the first-quarter of 2008, operating companies income grew 24.5%, primarily due to higher pricing and currency. The robust growth in operating companies income was driven by strong performances in Australia, Indonesia, Korea and the Philippines. Excluding the impact of currency, operating companies income grew 18.6%.

Operating companies income grew 23.8% for the first quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below.

PMI cigarette shipment volume increased 10.0%, due to acquisition volume from Pakistan and solid gains in Indonesia and Korea, partly offset by a decline in Japan. Excluding acquisition volume from Lakson Tobacco, volume was up 0.4%.

In Indonesia, the total cigarette market was up 8.1% for the first-quarter 2008. PMI shipment volumes rose 5.6% versus the same period last year. Although PMI’s market share remained relatively flat versus the prior quarter at 28.0%, Marlboro was up 0.3 points, helped by the new Marlboro Mix 9 kretek brand which has just recently begun to be rolled out nationally. In support of the A Mild brand family, A Volution was launched, the first super slims kretek in the Indonesian market.

In Japan, the total cigarette market declined 3.6%. PMI’s shipments were down 4.0%, partially offset by the favorable timing of shipments. PMI’s in-market sales were down 6.8% and market share declined 0.8 points to 23.9%, mainly due to Lark. Lark Menthol X was launched during the quarter and early results are encouraging. Lark Classic was also launched in April in East Japan, which accounts for approximately one third of total market volume. The whole brand family will be supported by a revamped marketing campaign as of May. Marlboro share of 9.8% was essentially flat for the quarter.

In Korea, the total market was up 5.3% for the first-quarter 2008. PMI shipment volume rose 17.9%, mainly due to market share increases. PMI’s market share reached 11.0%, up 1.2 points. The share increase was driven by a strong performance from Parliament, and gains from Marlboro, Virginia Slims and Lim, a premium local heritage product launched in late 2007.

LATIN AMERICA

2008 First-Quarter Results

In Latin America, net revenues, excluding excise tax, increased by 10.8% to reach $515 million, including favorable currency of $18 million, due to strong performances in key markets such as Argentina and Mexico. Excluding currency, net revenues grew 6.9%, mainly due to higher pricing and volume in Argentina and Mexico and higher pricing in Colombia. These results were partially offset by lower volume in Colombia, mainly due to inventory movements, changes to the trade distribution structure and increased excise taxes.

In the first quarter of 2008, operating companies income increased by 72.7% to $152 million, including a favorable currency impact of $3 million, the favorable impact of PMI’s increased ownership from 50% to 80% of the Mexican business, and the other factors mentioned above. Operating companies income grew 60.0% for the first quarter of 2008 when adjusted for the impact of the items shown in the table below. Excluding the impact of currency, and the increased Mexican ownership, operating companies income grew 43.2%.

Cigarette shipment volume of 23.2 billion units increased by 5.6%, reflecting higher shipments in Argentina and Mexico, driven by strong share growth in both markets and the inclusion of the acquired local trademarks in Mexico. Excluding acquisition volume, shipments decreased by 0.6% due to lower shipments in Colombia.

In Argentina, the total cigarette market grew 6.7% for the first-quarter 2008. PMI’s cigarette shipment volume increased 10.2% and share increased 2.2 points to 70.7%, driven by Marlboro, up 1.5 points and Philip Morris, up 1.7 points.

(a) This adjustment reflects the reversal of $62 million of pre-tax asset impairment and exit costs ($45 million after-tax) relating to the streamlining of various administrative functions.

(b) A subsidiary of Altria had provided us with certain services at cost plus a management fee. This adjustment reflects incremental costs of $23 million, partially offset by the related tax benefit of $7 million. These incremental costs reflect the expansion of services that were previously provided by Altria to reflect our status as a stand-alone public company.

(c) As part of the Spin-off, we paid to Altria $4.0 billion in special dividends, of which $3.1 billion were paid in 2007 and the remaining $900 million were paid in the first quarter of 2008. The pro forma adjusted statement of earnings has been adjusted to reflect the incremental interest expense we would have incurred if borrowings to finance the special dividends had been made on January 1, 2007. The incremental interest adjustment of $53 million, partially offset by the related tax benefit of $15 million, was computed by applying a rate of 5.24% (the average rate of our December 2007 borrowings that were incurred to pay Altria the dividend) to the total special dividends that were paid to Altria. An increase or (decrease) of one-eighth of 1% (12.5 basis points) in the interest rate associated with these variable rate borrowings would have increased or (decreased) our pro forma adjusted interest expense by $1.3 million.

(d) Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the number of our shares distributed by Altria on the Distribution Date.

(c) A subsidiary of Altria had provided us with certain services at cost plus a management fee. This adjustment reflects incremental costs of $23 million, partially offset by the related tax benefit of $6 million. These incremental costs reflect the expansion of services that were previously provided by Altria to reflect our status as a stand-alone public company.

The incremental interest adjustment of $40 million, partially offset by the related tax benefit of $14 million, was computed by applying a rate of 5.24% (the average rate of our December 2007 borrowings that were incurred to pay Altria the dividend) to the total special dividends that were paid to Altria, less $11 million of interest related to these borrowings that is already included in our historical interest expense. An increase or (decrease) of one-eighth of 1% (12.5 basis points) in the interest rate associated with these variable rate borrowings would have increased or (decreased) our pro forma adjusted interest expense by $1.1 million.

The incremental interest adjustment of $199 million, partially offset by the related tax benefit of $59 million, was computed by applying a rate of 5.24% (the average rate of our December 2007 borrowings that were incurred to pay Altria the dividend) to the total special dividends that were paid to Altria, less $11 million of interest related to these borrowings that is already included in our historical interest expense. An increase or (decrease) of one-eighth of 1% (12.5 basis points) in the interest rate associated with these variable rate borrowings would have increased or (decreased) our pro forma adjusted interest expense by $5 million.

(e) The 2007 reported effective tax rate included a tax benefit of $27 million related to the reduction of deferred tax liabilities resulting from future tax rates enacted in Germany. The reported tax provision in 2007 also included the reversal of tax accruals of $41 million no longer required. This adjustment reflects the reversal of these transactions.

(f) Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the number of our shares distributed by Altria on the Distribution Date.
