Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation:

Background

Philip Morris International Inc. is a holding company incorporated in Virginia, U.S.A., whose subsidiaries and affiliates and their licensees are engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, other tobacco products and other nicotine-containing products in markets outside of the United States of America. Throughout these financial statements, the term “PMI” refers to Philip Morris International Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of PMI are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and such principles are applied on a consistent basis. It is the opinion of PMI’s management that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results presented have been reflected therein. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Net revenues and net earnings attributable to PMI for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation, due to the separate disclosure of investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. For further details, see Note 16. Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, which appear in PMI’s Annual Report to Shareholders and which are incorporated by reference into PMI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 2. Asset Impairment and Exit Costs:

Pre-tax asset impairment and exit costs consisted of the following:

Movement in Exit Cost Liabilities

The movement in exit cost liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:



(in millions)
Liability balance, January 1, 2014	$	308
Charges, net	370
Cash spent	(263		)
Currency/other	(48		)
Liability balance, September 30, 2014	$	367

Cash payments related to exit costs at PMI were $263 million and $33 million for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $17 million and $5 million for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Future cash payments for exit costs incurred to date are expected to be approximately $367 million, and will be substantially paid by the third quarter of 2015.

The pre-tax asset impairment and exit costs shown above are primarily a result of the following:

The Netherlands

On April 4, 2014, PMI announced the initiation by its affiliate, Philip Morris Holland B.V. (“PMH”), of consultations with employee representatives on a proposal to discontinue cigarette production at its factory located in Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands. PMH reached an agreement with the trade unions and their members on a social plan, and ceased cigarette production on September 1, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, total pre-tax asset impairment and exit costs of $472 million were recorded and for the three months ended September 30, 2014 a reversal of $16 million was recorded for this program due to a change in estimate in the European Union segment.

Other

Separation Program Charges

PMI recorded other pre-tax separation program charges of $27 million and $3 million for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2014 related to severance costs for factory closures in Australia and Canada.

Contract Termination Charges

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, PMI recorded exit costs of $8 million related to the termination of distribution agreements.

Asset Impairment Charges

PMI recorded other pre-tax asset impairment charges of $4 million for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2014 related to a factory closure in Canada.

Note 3. Stock Plans:

In May 2012, PMI’s stockholders approved the Philip Morris International Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan replaced the 2008 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and, as a result, there will be no additional grants under the 2008 Plan. Under the 2012 Plan, PMI may grant to eligible employees restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units, performance-based cash incentive awards and performance-based equity awards. Up to 30 million shares of PMI’s common stock may be issued under the 2012 Plan. At September 30, 2014, shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan were 24,799,010.

In 2008, PMI adopted the Philip Morris International Inc. 2008 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Non-Employee Directors Plan”). A non-employee director is defined as a member of the PMI Board of Directors who is not a full-time employee of PMI or of any corporation in which PMI owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors in such corporation. Up to 1 million

(Unaudited)

shares of PMI common stock may be awarded under the Non-Employee Directors Plan. At September 30, 2014, shares available for grant under the plan were 715,904.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, PMI granted 2.4 million shares of deferred stock awards to eligible employees at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $77.74 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, PMI granted 2.8 million shares of deferred stock awards to eligible employees at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $88.43 per share. PMI recorded compensation expense related to stock awards of $161 million and $172 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $48 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, PMI had $236 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested deferred stock awards. The cost is recognized over the original restriction period of the awards, which is typically three or more years after the date of the award, subject to earlier vesting on death or disability or normal retirement, or separation from employment by mutual agreement after reaching age 58.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 3.5 million shares of PMI restricted stock and deferred stock awards vested. The grant date fair value of all the vested shares was approximately $212 million. The total fair value of restricted stock and deferred stock awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $277 million.

Note 4. Benefit Plans:

Pension coverage for employees of PMI’s subsidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate, through separate plans, many of which are governed by local statutory requirements. In addition, PMI provides health care and other benefits to substantially all U.S. retired employees and certain non-U.S. retired employees. In general, health care benefits for non-U.S. retired employees are covered through local government plans.

Employer Contributions

PMI makes, and plans to make, contributions, to the extent that they are tax deductible and to meet specific funding requirements of its funded U.S. and non-U.S. plans. Employer contributions of $98 million were made to the pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Currently, PMI anticipates making additional contributions during the remainder of 2014 of approximately $70 million to its pension plans, based on current tax and benefit laws. However, this estimate is subject to change as a result of changes in tax and other benefit laws, as well as asset performance significantly above or below the assumed long-term rate of return on pension assets, or changes in interest rates.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net:

Goodwill and other intangible assets, net, by segment was as follows:

Goodwill is due primarily to PMI’s acquisitions in Canada, Colombia, Greece, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan and Serbia, as well as the business combination in the Philippines. The movements in goodwill from December 31, 2013, were as follows:



(in millions)	European Union			Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa			Asia			Latin America & Canada			Total

Additional details of other intangible assets were as follows:



	September 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
(in millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Non-amortizable intangible assets	$	1,780			$	1,798
Amortizable intangible assets	1,945		$	591	1,940		$	545
Total other intangible assets	$	3,725	$	591	$	3,738	$	545

Non-amortizable intangible assets substantially consist of trademarks from PMI’s acquisitions in Indonesia in 2005 and Mexico in 2007. Amortizable intangible assets primarily consist of certain trademarks, distribution networks and non-compete agreements associated with business combinations. The gross carrying amount, the range of useful lives as well as the weighted-average remaining useful life of amortizable intangible assets at September 30, 2014, were as follows:



(dollars in millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Initial Estimated Useful Lives	Weighted-Average Remaining Useful Life
Trademarks	$	1,553	2 - 40 years	24 years
Distribution networks	174		5 - 30 years	13 years
Non-compete agreements	126		3 - 10 years	1 year
Other (including farmer contracts and intellectual property rights)	92		10 - 17 years	12 years
	$	1,945

Pre-tax amortization expense for intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $67 million and $71 million, respectively, and $23 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be $86 million or less, assuming no additional transactions occur that require the amortization of intangible assets.

The decrease in the gross carrying amount of other intangible assets from December 31, 2013, was due primarily to currency movements, partially offset by the preliminary purchase price allocation for PMI's June 2014 purchase of Nicocigs Limited, as well as the purchase of additional patent rights related to an aerosol delivery technology acquired in 2011.

During the first quarter of 2014, PMI completed its annual review of goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for potential impairment, and no impairment charges were required as a result of this review.

Note 6. Financial Instruments:

Overview

PMI operates in markets outside of the United States of America, with manufacturing and sales facilities in various locations around the world. PMI utilizes certain financial instruments to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposure. Derivative financial instruments are used by PMI principally to reduce exposures to market risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by creating offsetting exposures. PMI is not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period. PMI formally documents the nature and relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions and method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of the forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction will occur. If it were deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur, the gain or loss would be recognized in earnings. PMI reports its net transaction gains or losses in marketing, administration and research costs on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

PMI uses deliverable and non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency swaps and foreign currency options, collectively referred to as foreign exchange contracts, to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange and interest rates from third-party and intercompany actual and forecasted transactions. The primary currencies to which PMI is exposed include the Australian dollar, Euro, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Russian ruble, Swiss franc and Turkish lira. At September 30, 2014, PMI had contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $20.7 billion of which $2.9 billion related to cash flow hedges, $2.5 billion related to hedges of net investments in foreign operations and $15.3 billion related to other derivatives that primarily offset currency exposures on intercompany financing.

The fair value of PMI’s foreign exchange contracts included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were as follows:

Each type of hedging activity is described in greater detail below.

Cash Flow Hedges

PMI has entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exchange risk related to certain forecasted transactions. The effective portion of gains and losses associated with qualifying cash flow hedge contracts is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive losses until the underlying hedged transactions are reported in PMI’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. During the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges was not material. As of September 30, 2014, substantially all of PMI's hedged forecasted transactions are for

periods not exceeding the next fifteen months with the exception of one foreign exchange contract that expires in May 2024. The impact of these hedges is primarily included in operating cash flows on PMI’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, foreign exchange contracts that were designated as cash flow hedging instruments impacted the condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings as follows:

Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations

PMI designates certain foreign currency denominated debt and foreign exchange contracts as net investment hedges of its foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, these hedges of net investments resulted in gains (losses), net of income taxes of $624 million and $(163) million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, these hedges of net investments resulted in gains (losses), net of income taxes, of $531 million and $(199) million, respectively. These gains (losses) were reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive losses within currency translation adjustments. For the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges was not material. Other investing cash flows on PMI’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include the premiums paid for, and settlements of, net investment hedges.

Other Derivatives

PMI has entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks related to intercompany loans between certain subsidiaries, and third-party loans. While effective as economic hedges, no hedge accounting is applied for these contracts; therefore, the unrealized gains (losses) relating to these contracts are reported in PMI’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the gains (losses) from contracts for which PMI did not apply hedge accounting were $(113) million and $67 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the gains/(losses) from contracts for which PMI did not apply hedge accounting were $(207) million and $87 million, respectively. The gains (losses) from these contracts substantially offset the losses and gains generated by the underlying intercompany and third-party loans being hedged.

As a result, for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, these items impacted the condensed consolidated statements of earnings as follows:

Qualifying Hedging Activities Reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Losses

Derivative gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive losses are a result of qualifying hedging activity. Transfers of these gains or losses to earnings are offset by the corresponding gains or losses on the underlying hedged item. Hedging activity affected accumulated other comprehensive losses, net of income taxes, as follows:



(in millions)	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,						For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014		2013

Change in fair value	21			158			56		2
Gain as of September 30,	$	74		$	92		$	74	$	92

At September 30, 2014, PMI expects $50 million of derivative gains that are included in accumulated other comprehensive losses to be reclassified to the condensed consolidated statement of earnings within the next twelve months. These gains are expected to be substantially offset by the statement of earnings impact of the respective hedged transactions.

Contingent Features

PMI’s derivative instruments do not contain contingent features.

Credit Exposure and Credit Risk

PMI is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties. While PMI does not anticipate non-performance, its risk is limited to the fair value of the financial instruments less any cash collateral received or pledged. PMI actively monitors its exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits, and by selecting and continuously monitoring a diverse group of major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties.

Fair Value
