(the “Company”), effective January 1, 2018, the Company began managing its business in six reporting segments as follows:

	The European Union Region;

	The Middle East & Africa Region;

	The South & Southeast Asia Region;

On March 23, 2018, the Company posted on its website certain recast historical shipment volume and financial information that reflects the change in reportable segments described above and the additional changes summarized below. All changes are effective January 1, 2018. The recast shipment volume and financial information is available at https://www.pmi.com/investor-relations/overview in the Investor Kit.

As discussed in the Company's 2017 Form 10-K, the Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" as of January 1, 2018 retrospectively. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude excise taxes collected from customers from the measurement of the transaction price, thereby presenting revenues, net of excise taxes in all periods. The underlying principles of the new standard, relating to the measurement of revenue and the timing of recognition, are closely aligned with the Company's current business model and practices.

Previously, total pension and other employee benefit costs were included in operating income. Beginning January 1, 2018, only the service cost component is required to be shown in operating income, while all other cost components will be presented in a new line item “pension and other employee benefit costs" below operating income.

	Effective January 1, 2018, the Company began using operating income to evaluate business segment performance and allocate resources, replacing operating companies income used previously.

The foregoing changes impact only the manner in which the results for the Company's performance were previously reported, and have no material impact on the Company's previously reported

consolidated financial position or results of operations.
