rates, of approximately $0.16, the forecast range represents a

projected increase of approximately 7% to 10% versus adjusted

diluted earnings per share of $4.72 in 2017 as detailed in the

attached Schedule 17.

 
    -- This forecast assumes: 

Net revenue growth, excluding excise taxes, of over 8.0%,

excluding currency;Operating cash flow of over $9.0 billion;Capital expenditures of approximately $1.7 billion; andNo share repurchases.

 
    -- This forecast excludes the impact of any future acquisitions, 

unanticipated asset impairment and exit cost charges, future changes

in currency exchange rates, further developments related to the Tax

Cuts and Jobs Act as discussed below, and any unusual events. Factors

described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of

this release represent continuing risks to these projections.

 

Impact of U.S. Tax Reform

 

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was signed into law. The principal elements of the Act relevant to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, were:

 
 
    -- A reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; and 
 
    -- The requirement to pay a one-time transition tax on accumulated 

foreign earnings, including 2017 earnings ("transition tax").

 

In connection with these elements of the Act, PMI recognized a provisional expense of $1.6 billion, which was included as a component of income tax expense as follows:

 
 
    -- A provisional charge of $1.4 billion, which represents the transition 

tax of $2.2 billion, net of a reversal of $0.7 billion of previously

recorded deferred tax liabilities on part of the accumulated foreign

earnings, and other items of $0.1 billion; and

 
    -- Re-measurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities using a 

rate of 21%, which, under the Act, is expected to be in place when

such deferred assets and liabilities reverse in the future. In

connection with this re-measurement, we recorded a provisional charge

of $0.2 billion.

 

While the impacts of the Act reduced net earnings by $1.6 billion, there was no net impact on operating cash flows for the year, as the changes in deferred taxes and income taxes payable offset the net earnings impact. At December 31, 2017, PMI recorded an income tax payable of $1.7 billion representing the transition tax of $2.2 billion, primarily offset by foreign tax credits related to foreign withholding taxes previously paid of $0.5 billion. The income tax payable is due over an 8-year period beginning in 2018.

 

Other provisions of the Act did not have a significant impact on PMI's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, but may impact the effective tax rate in subsequent periods.

 

The Act has significant complexity and our final tax liability may materially differ from these estimates, due to, among other things, changes in PMI's assumptions, guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service and related interpretations and clarifications of tax law. For the transition tax, further information is required to finalize the estimated amount of accumulated foreign earnings as well as to validate the amount of earnings represented by the aggregate foreign cash position as defined in the Act. For the re-measurement of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, further analysis will be required to refine PMI's calculations and related account balances. PMI will complete the remaining elements of its analysis during 2018, and any adjustments to the provisional charges will be included in income tax expense or benefit in the appropriate period, in accordance with guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.

 

Following the enactment of the Act, PMI's 2018 full-year diluted earnings per share forecast -- based on the current interpretation of the legislation -- assumes a full-year effective tax rate of approximately 28%, subject to future regulatory developments and earnings mix by taxing jurisdiction. The difference between the 21% statutory rate under the new law and PMI's effective rate reflects the fact that PMI operates in markets outside of the United States and is driven by three main factors: foreign tax rate differences, non-deductibility of interest expense and a partial disallowance of foreign tax credits related to the application of the rules for global intangible low-taxed income.

2017 Full-Year

 

Estimated international cigarette and heated tobacco unit volume, excluding China and the United States, of 2.8 trillion, down by 2.8%

 

PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 2.7%, principally due to:

 
 
    -- the EU, notably reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume in Greece, 

Italy and Spain, partly offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment

volume;

 
    -- EEMA, notably reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume in Russia, 

Saudi Arabia - where PMI's cigarette shipment volume declined by

35.8%, impacted by the new excise tax implemented in June 2017 that

resulted in the doubling of retail prices - and Ukraine; partly offset

by higher cigarette shipment volume in North Africa, notably Algeria,

and higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume;

 
    -- Asia, notably reflecting lower cigarette shipment volume in Indonesia, 

Japan, Korea, Pakistan - impacted by excise tax-driven price increases

and an increase in the prevalence of illicit trade - and the

Philippines; fully offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment

volume, mainly in Japan and Korea; and

 
    -- Latin America & Canada, notably reflecting lower cigarette shipment 

volume in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia and Mexico.

 

Excluding the favorable net impact of estimated cigarette and heated tobacco unit inventory movements of approximately 3.3 billion units, PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 3.1%. The favorable inventory movements were driven primarily by approximately 8.5 billion units net in Japan reflecting: the increasing demand for HeatSticks , anticipated to further increase in the first quarter of 2018 following a planned lifting of the restriction on IQOS device sales; the establishment of appropriate distributor inventory levels of heated tobacco units, given the current high dependence on a single manufacturing center; and the transition from air freight to sea freight of heated tobacco units, largely completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. These favorable inventory movements were partly offset by a reduction of combustible product inventory levels, mainly in: the EU, notably Italy and Spain; and EEMA, notably North Africa, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

 

2017 Fourth-Quarter

 

PMI's total shipment volume increased by 3.8%, principally driven by:

 
 
    -- the EU, notably reflecting higher cigarette shipment volume in France, 

Germany and Portugal, partly offset by lower cigarette shipment volume

in Spain; and

 
    -- Higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume across all Regions, notably 

in Asia driven by Japan and Korea.

 

The increase in PMI's total shipment volume was partly offset by lower cigarette shipment volume in:

 
 
    -- EEMA, notably Russia, as well as Saudi Arabia where PMI's cigarette 

shipment volume declined by 60.3%, reflecting the impact of the

aforementioned new excise tax, partly offset by North Africa, notably

Algeria, and Turkey;

 
    -- Asia, notably Japan and Korea, partly offset by the Philippines; and 
 
    -- Latin America & Canada, notably Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, partly 

offset by Mexico and Venezuela.

 

Excluding the favorable net impact of estimated cigarette and heated tobacco unit inventory movements of approximately 5.0 billion units, driven primarily by Japan, reflecting the same dynamics as for the full year, PMI's total shipment volume increased by 1.4%.

2017 Full-Year

 

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro decreased in: the EU, mainly due to Greece, Italy and Spain; EEMA, predominantly due to Saudi Arabia, reflecting the impact of the new excise tax implemented in June 2017 that resulted in the doubling of the retail price of Marlboro from SAR 12 to SAR 24 per pack, partly offset by North Africa, notably Algeria and Egypt, and Turkey; Asia, mainly due to Japan and Korea, principally reflecting out-switching to heated tobacco products, partly offset by Indonesia and the Philippines; and Latin America & Canada, mainly due to Argentina and Brazil.

 

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of the following brands decreased: L&M , mainly due to Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, partly offset by Algeria, Argentina, Colombia and Kazakhstan; Parliament , mainly due to Japan, Russia and Saudi Arabia, partly offset by Kazakhstan; Bond Street , mainly due to Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine; Lark , principally due to Japan; and "Others," mainly due to low-price brands in Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia and Ukraine.

 

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of the following brands increased: Chesterfield, notably driven by Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Venezuela, partly offset by Italy and Russia; and Philip Morris , mainly driven by Russia and Ukraine, notably reflecting successful portfolio consolidation of local, low-price brands in "Others," partly offset by Argentina and Italy.

 

2017 Fourth-Quarter

 

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro was essentially flat, with declines in: EEMA, predominantly due to Saudi Arabia, reflecting the same dynamic as for the full year, partly offset by North Africa, notably Algeria and Egypt; and Latin America & Canada, mainly due to Argentina and Brazil; offset by growth in the EU, driven notably by France, Germany and Italy. Cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro was flat in Asia, with growth in Indonesia and the Philippines offset by declines in Japan and Korea, principally reflecting out-switching to heated tobacco products .

 

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of the following brands decreased: L&M , mainly due to Russia and Saudi Arabia, partly offset by Algeria, Germany and Kazakhstan; Bond Street , mainly due to Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine; Lark , principally due to Japan, partly offset by Turkey; and "Others," mainly due to local, low-price brands in Indonesia, the Philippines, Russia and Ukraine, partly offset by premium local brands in Indonesia.

 

PMI's cigarette shipment volume of the following brands increased: Parliament , notably driven by Russia and Turkey, partly offset by Japan, Korea and Saudi Arabia; Chesterfield, mainly driven by Argentina, Brazil, reflecting successful brand portfolio consolidation, Colombia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, partly offset by Italy and Russia; and Philip Morris , mainly driven by Russia and Ukraine, notably reflecting successful portfolio consolidation of local, low-price brands in "Others," partly offset by Argentina and Italy.

For the full year, the estimated total market decreased by 8.2%, mainly due to the impact of price increases and an increase in the prevalence of illicit trade. The decrease in PMI's shipment volume was primarily due to the lower total market, as well as lower cigarette market share, as measured by Nielsen, notably of low-price Bond Street , reflecting competitive pressure from lower-priced alternatives, partly offset by Parliament and Philip Morris , following the successful portfolio consolidation of a local, low-price brand in "Others."

 

In the quarter, the estimated total market decreased by 3.8%, or by 7.0% excluding the net impact of estimated trade inventory movements, mainly due to the impact of price increases. The decrease in PMI's cigarette market share, as measured by Nielsen, reflected the same dynamics as for the quarter.

2017 Full-Year

 

The estimated total market in Asia, excluding China, decreased by 3.1% to 1.1 trillion units. PMI's Regional market share, excluding China, was flat at 23.8%.

 

PMI's total shipment volume of 267.0 billion units was flat, mainly reflecting: lower cigarette shipment volume in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Pakistan - impacted by excise tax-driven price increases in 2017 and an increase in the prevalence of illicit trade - and the Philippines, fully offset by higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume, mainly in Japan and Korea. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro was mainly due to Japan and Korea, primarily reflecting out-switching to heated tobacco products, partly offset by Indonesia and the Philippines. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Lark was principally due to Japan. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Parliament was mainly due to Japan and Korea. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of "Others" was mainly due to local, low-price brands in Indonesia, Pakistan and the Philippines.

 

PMI's total shipment volume benefited from the favorable net impact of estimated combustible and heated tobacco unit inventory movements, which were driven by approximately 8.5 billion units net in Japan, reflecting: the increasing demand for HeatSticks , anticipated to further increase in the first quarter of 2018 following a planned lifting of the restriction on IQOS device sales; the establishment of appropriate distributor inventory levels of heated tobacco units, given the current high dependence on a single manufacturing center; and the transition from air freight to sea freight of heated tobacco units, largely completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of total estimated net inventory movements, PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 3.1%.

 

2017 Fourth-Quarter

 

PMI's total shipment volume increased by 11.8% to 75.3 billion units, principally reflecting: higher heated tobacco unit shipment volume, mainly in Japan and Korea, and higher cigarette shipment volume in Indonesia and the Philippines, partly offset by lower cigarette shipment volume in Japan and Korea. Cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro was flat, with growth in Indonesia and the Philippines offset by declines in Japan and Korea, principally reflecting out-switching to heated tobacco products . The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Lark was principally due to Japan. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Parliament was principally due to Japan and Korea. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of "Others" was mainly due to low-price brands in Indonesia and the Philippines.

 

PMI's total shipment volume benefited from the favorable net impact of estimated combustible and heated tobacco unit inventory movements, which were driven by approximately 5.0 billion units in Japan, reflecting the same dynamics as for the full year. Excluding the impact of total estimated net inventory movements, PMI's total shipment volume increased by 4.7%.

For the full year, the decline of the estimated total cigarette market of 6.7%, excluding the net impact of estimated trade inventory movements, was mainly due to the impact of excise tax-driven price increases. The decline in PMI's cigarette shipment volume was due to the lower total cigarette market, as well as lower cigarette market share, particularly of PMI's low and super-low price brands as a result of the timing of competitors' price increases, which initially widened the price gaps to PMI's principal competitor's discounted brands, partly offset by Marlboro , which benefited from in-switching from lower-priced brands.

 

In the quarter, the estimated total cigarette market increased by 7.8%, or by 1.1% excluding the net impact of estimated trade inventory movements regarding an anticipated Marlboro price increase in January 2018. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume reflected the higher total cigarette market, as well as higher cigarette market share, particularly of Marlboro , which benefited from in-switching from lower-priced brands following significant competitor price increases in the quarter.

2017 Full-Year

 

The estimated total market in Latin America & Canada decreased by 3.8% to 213.0 billion units. PMI's Regional market share decreased by 0.1 point to 39.6%.

 

PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 4.2% to 84.3 billion units, mainly due to lower cigarette shipment volume in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia and Mexico. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro was mainly due to Argentina and Brazil. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Philip Morris was mainly due to Argentina. The increase in cigarette shipment volume of Chesterfield was driven by Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela, partly offset by Mexico. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of "Others" was principally due to mainly local brands in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela, largely reflecting successful brand portfolio consolidation, Canada and Mexico.

 

2017 Fourth-Quarter

 

PMI's total shipment volume decreased by 3.6% to 22.9 billion units, mainly due to Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, partly offset by Mexico and Venezuela. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Marlboro was mainly due to Argentina and Brazil, partly offset by Mexico. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of Philip Morris was mainly due to Argentina. The increase in cigarette shipment volume of Chesterfield was mainly driven by Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. The decrease in cigarette shipment volume of "Others" was principally due to mainly local brands in Brazil and Colombia, reflecting successful brand portfolio consolidation.

For the full year, the estimated total cigarette market increased by 0.2%, reflecting higher tax declarations by local manufacturers, as well as a favorable comparison to the full year 2016, which declined by 11.6% mainly due to the impact of tax-driven price increases. The decrease in PMI's cigarette shipment volume was mainly due to lower cigarette market share, reflecting the growth of the low price segment, where local manufacturers are exempt from paying minimum excise tax, resulting in widened price gaps with premium Marlboro and mid-price Philip Morris , partly offset by low-price Chesterfield that benefited from successful brand portfolio consolidation of a low-price brand in "Others."

 

In the quarter, the estimated total cigarette market decreased by 2.5%, mainly due to the impact of excise-tax driven price increases. The decrease in PMI's cigarette shipment volume was mainly due to the lower total market and lower cigarette market share, largely reflecting the same dynamics as for the full year.

For the full year, the estimated total cigarette market decreased by 1.1%, or increased by 1.2% excluding the net impact of estimated trade inventory movements. The decrease in PMI's cigarette shipment volume mainly reflected the lower total cigarette market, as well as lower cigarette market share. The decrease of PMI's cigarette market share largely reflected the net impact of the estimated trade inventory movements, as well as lower share of Delicados , impacted by competitive pressure in the low price segment.

 

In the quarter, the estimated total cigarette market increased by 4.5%, or by 3.1% excluding the net impact of estimated trade inventory movements. The increase in PMI's cigarette shipment volume mainly reflected the higher total cigarette market. The decrease of PMI's cigarette market share largely reflected the same dynamics as for the full year.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

 

This press release contains projections of future results and other forward-looking statements. 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 forward-looking 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; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; litigation related to tobacco use; intense competition; the effects of global and individual country economic, regulatory and political developments, natural disasters and conflicts; changes in adult smoker behavior; 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 and quality of tobacco and other agricultural products and raw materials; and the integrity of its information systems. 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; or if it is unable to attract and retain the best global talent.

 

PMI is further subject to other risks detailed from time to time in its publicly filed documents, including the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. 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.

(1) Net revenue amounts for our combustible products refer to the  operating revenues generated from the sale of these products, net  of sales and promotion incentives. These net revenue amounts  consist of  the sale of our cigarettes and other tobacco  products combined. Other tobacco products primarily include  tobacco for roll-your-own and make-your-own cigarettes, pipe  tobacco, cigars and cigarillos and do  not include  reduced-risk products. 
(2) Net revenue amounts for our reduced-risk products refer to the  operating revenues generated from the sale of these products, net  of sales and promotion incentives. These net revenue amounts  consist of  the sale of our heated tobacco units, our IQOS devices and related accessories, and other nicotine-containing  products, which primarily include our e-vapor products.  Reduced-risk products is the term we  use to refer to products  that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to  present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products  versus continued smoking. We have a range of reduced-  risk  products in various stages of development, scientific assessment  and commercialization. Because our reduced-risk products do not  burn tobacco, they produce far lower quantities of harmful and  potentially  harmful compounds than found in cigarette smoke. 
(3) PMI often collects excise taxes from its customers and then  remits them to governments, and, in those circumstances, PMI  includes the excise taxes in its net revenues and in excise taxes  on products. In  some jurisdictions, including Japan, PMI is  not responsible for collecting excise taxes. 
Note: Sum of product categories or  Regions might not foot to PMI total due to rounding.

(1) Net revenue amounts for our combustible products refer to the  operating revenues generated from the sale of these products, net  of sales and promotion incentives. These net revenue amounts  consist of  the sale of our cigarettes and other tobacco  products combined. Other tobacco products primarily include  tobacco for roll-your-own and make-your-own cigarettes, pipe  tobacco, cigars and cigarillos and do  not include  reduced-risk products. 
(2) Net revenue amounts for our reduced-risk products refer to the  operating revenues generated from the sale of these products, net  of sales and promotion incentives. These net revenue amounts  consist of  the sale of our heated tobacco units, our IQOS devices and related accessories, and other nicotine-containing  products, which primarily include our e-vapor products.  Reduced-risk products is the term we  use to refer to products  that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to  present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products  versus continued smoking. We have a range of reduced-  risk  products in various stages of development, scientific assessment  and commercialization. Because our reduced-risk products do not  burn tobacco, they produce far lower quantities of harmful and  potentially  harmful compounds than found in cigarette smoke. 
(3) PMI often collects excise taxes from its customers and then  remits them to governments, and, in those circumstances, PMI  includes the excise taxes in its net revenues and in excise taxes  on products. In  some jurisdictions, including Japan, PMI is  not responsible for collecting excise taxes. 
Note: Sum of product categories or  Regions might not foot to PMI total due to rounding.
