Tailwinds
- Better underlying business performance driven by the strength of IQOS, particularly in the EU Region and Japan.
- A favorable currency impact, at prevailing exchange rates, of approximately $0.20 per share, compared to approximately $0.25 per share previously.
- Strong organic net revenue growth, partly driven by a favorable comparison versus the second quarter of 2020.
- Continued improvement in adjusted operating income margin on an organic basis.
- The assumption that many of PMI's key markets will have largely emerged from pandemic-related restrictions.
Headwinds
- Asset impairment and exit costs of $0.02 per share resulting from product distribution restructuring in Korea and organizational design optimization.

- A limited impact from the current global shortage of semiconductors on the supply of our electronic devices to consumers.
- Incremental commercial investments, compared to the first half of 2021, of approximately $300 to $400 million.
