Forward guidance
PMI provided a full-year 2020 forecast, reflecting like-for-like currency-neutral adjusted diluted EPS growth in the low-to-mid single digits.
Tailwinds
- No recurrence of national lockdowns in PMI's key international markets during the second half of 2020
- Full enforcement of minimum retail selling price requirements in Indonesia as of September 2020, at the earliest
- A full-year heated tobacco unit shipment volume that keeps PMI on-track to reach its 2021 target of 90 to 100 billion units
- An increase in currency-neutral, like-for-like adjusted operating income margin of more than 150 basis points
- An effective tax rate of 22% to 23%, compared to approximately 23% assumed previously, notably reflecting changes in the company's earnings mix and a lower corporate tax rate in Indonesia
Headwinds
- Lack of near-term recovery in PMI's duty-free business given the uncertain outlook for global travel, with current dynamics persisting at least through the third quarter
- An estimated total international industry volume decline, excluding China and the U.S., of approximately 7% to 9%
- A total cigarette and heated tobacco unit shipment volume decline for PMI of approximately 8% to 10% on a like-for-like basis, notably due to Indonesia and PMI Duty Free
- A currency-neutral net revenue decline in the low single digits, on a like-for-like basis. Excluding Indonesia and PMI Duty Free, this assumes currency-neutral net revenue growth in the low single digits on the same basis
- Reported diluted EPS in the third quarter broadly in line with the company's second-quarter 2020 EPS results, supported by a sequential improvement in reported net revenues in the quarter, offset by the unfavorable impact of the reversal of certain items from the first half and the timing of certain costs
