−Removed: During the second quarter of 2023, PMI completed its annual review of goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for potential impairment.
−Removed: Based on this review, it was determined that the estimated fair value of the Wellness and Healthcare reporting unit was lower than its carrying value.
−Removed: Consequently, PMI recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $ 665 million, reflecting the impact of reduced estimated future cash flows, which were primarily attributable to clinical trial results that became available in June 2023 for an inhalable aspirin product being developed by the Wellness and Healthcare business.
−Removed: While it was observed that the experimental product had a rapid onset of effect, which is the key medical advantage sought, there was significant variability in inhaled dose among subjects.

−Removed: Certain Wellness and Healthcare products include components or gases which may be subject to enhanced climate change regulations that could impact the related product development and market strategies.
−Removed: This may also lead to supply disruptions that could result in additional future impairments.
−Removed: While PMI’s remaining reporting units have fair values substantially in excess of their carrying values, there are still risks related to PMI’s Russian reporting unit’s assets as the fair value of these assets is difficult to predict due to the volatility in foreign currency and commodity markets, supply chain, and current economic, political and social conditions.
−Removed: For more information see Note 3.
−Removed: War in Ukraine .
−Removed: PMI has performed a quantitative impairment assessment for all of its reporting units and non-amortizable intangible assets with the exception of the Swedish Match segment.
