LONDON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Philip Morris International (PMI) on Thursday signalled a slower than anticipated U.S.
roll out of its IQOS heated tobacco device, a choice analysts said was
positive for its competitors in the short term.
The New York-listed Marlboro maker also said it aims for more than two
thirds of its net revenues to come from "smoke-free" products by
2030, up from 50% in 2025, as it tries to transform
its image from a cigarette purveyor to a driver of the
shift to healthier alternatives.
Investors have been closely watching IQOS' entry into
the U.S., the world's largest market for nicotine products, and had been expecting it from May 2024
next year. Reuters reported on Wednesday that PMI is hiring lobbyists across
a host of key U.S. states ahead of the launch.
Chief Executive Jacek Olczak said IQOS would launch in four cities in two unnamed U.S.
states from 2024, but a national launch would only come after PMI
receives approval to sell the latest version, known as IQOS
ILUMA.
The company was planning to apply for approval in October
and expected it from 2025, he continued.
"We need to warm up the tyres," he said of the initial
launch, which would help PMI fine tune its approach.
A national roll-out of ILUMA would follow but in phases,
he continued, adding launching in 10 states in the first year would make sense.
Meaningful traction for PMI's heated tobacco products in the U.S.
"now looks delayed until ILUMA," Owen Bennett, equity analyst at Jefferies, said in a note,
adding this was a positive for PMI's rivals.
Olczak also signalled that PMI's push into non-nicotine products was
no longer a priority. It recently scrapped
an ambition for $1 billion in net revenues to come from sales of such products by 2025.
Instead, PMI will focus its resources on IQOS and nicotine pouch brand ZYN, Olczak said, adding it
had been too optimistic around acceptance of big tobacco companies operating outside of nicotine.
PMI also announced updated medium-term targets including for revenue and
earnings per share, and ambitious volume targets for IQOS and ZYN.
ZYN and other oral nicotine products in the U.S. would help drive an expected $2 billion in revenues there in 2024, even before IQOS ILUMA,
executives said.
PMI shares were up 1.5% on Thursday. (Reporting by Emma Rumney in London and Granth Vanaik

Lady Gaga proves she's no diva as she gets down on the ground to take selfies and sign autographs
In the accompanying artwork, Lady Gaga was wearing a short red wig, smeared
make-up, a white sheer slip dress, and a red life preserver while seated in a shower.
The standard vinyl version of Harlequin comes with a full-length poster of
the 13-time Grammy winner flashing her bra beneath a
sheer T-shirt and panties while removing blue stockings off her feet on a dingy bed.
The vinyl folds out to show Lady Gaga with red lipstick smeared on her face into a smile just like the Joker
while gazing into a mirror.
Only three of the tracks - The Joker, Folie à
Deux, and Happy Mistake - appear to be original songs.
The remaining 10 tracks appear to be covers of classics like the 1930 standard Get Happy,
the 1938 spiritual Oh, When the Saints Go Marching In,
the 1932 jazz song I've Got the World on a String, and the 1966 Sweet
Charity anthem If My Friends Could See Me Now.
Harlequin is not to be confused with Hildur Guðnadóttir's score for Joker: Folie
à Deux, which will also be released on Friday alongside her new flick.
Lady Gaga - who scored a $12M paycheck for Folie à Deux - described her pyromaniac, Arkham State
Hospital patient character as 'an adult woman who
sings like a little girl.'
Announcing the new release to the social media site last month, she shared the album

Mother Monster's onscreen leading man Joaquin Phoenix actually asked her to dampen her famous three-octave mezzo soprano
pipes, telling Vogue: 'She encouraged me to
sing live and I encouraged her to sing poorly.'
'I remember asking her to sing without her vibrato.
She has a beautiful vibrato — too beautiful.
I think she felt naked without it. But as soon as she moved away from technique she unlocked her character's
voice.'
Lady Gaga - who gets 95.7M monthly listeners on Spotify -
tried 'to undo all my technique' while method on the set of
the R-rated jukebox musical.
'It was a lot about kind of unlearning technique and forgetting how to breathe and allowing the song to completely come out of
the character,' the Die With a Smile hitmaker revealed at
the Venice Film Festival press conference on September 4.

July 23 (Reuters) - Philip Morris International pushed the test-launch of its heated tobacco device, IQOS, in the U.S.
to the fourth quarter on Tuesday and lowered its annual forecast for the heated tobacco business.
The pilot was earlier scheduled to run in Austin, Texas, in the second quarter,
for which the company reported results on the day.
The company declined to comment on why the launch had been delayed.
Philip Morris has invested billions to promote and expand its portfolio
of alternatives to traditional combustible cigarettes amid stricter regulations and falling smoking rates in some markets.
The launch of its flagship heated tobacco device in the United States is also facing resistance from health campaigners,
who have written to regulators in the country accusing the company of misrepresenting past
regulatory decisions, Reuters reported last week.
The company also awaits market authorization from the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration for its IQOS ILUMA device, which it expects by the second half of
2025.
A ban on flavored heated tobacco in the European Union has already hit shipments
this year, with Philip Morris saying the impact from the ban was "slightly greater"
than previously assumed.
This led the company to temper its expectations for volume growth in the heated tobacco category to around 13% for the full year, down from between 14% and 16%
expected earlier.
However, Philip Morris topped quarterly expectations and raised its annual sales and profit forecasts, betting on demand
for its Zyn nicotine pouches, as well as higher cigarette
pricing. (Reporting by Juveria Tabassum and Emma Rumney;

Joker: Folie À Deux (15, 138 mins)
Verdict: Bold, brilliant sequel
Rating:
A Different Man (15, 112 mins)
Verdict: A touching satire
Rating:
Venice, a city long associated with masks and masquerades, was the perfect place to unveil Joker five years ago; and last month, at the venerable film festival
there, it was followed by the sequel, Joker: Folie À Deux.
The director is again Todd Phillips, with Joaquin Phoenix once more in the title role,
this time joined by Lady Gaga as what I suppose we must call
the love interest, although that would undervalue her wonderful performance.
We've known since A Star Is Born in 2018 that she can act,
but she really is terrific in a bad-girl role. They'd have loved
her at St Trinian's.
This film is audaciously different in style from
the original, not as electrifying, but bold
and brilliant all the same.
Arthur is now behind bars, waiting to see whether he will be judged
sane enough to stand trial for murder, and in the meantime enjoying his celebrity status with fellow prisoners
and even the warders, one of whom, a sadistic Irishman played by Brendan Gleeson, feeds him cigarettes in return for jokes.

Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie a Deux - an American musical psychological thriller film directed by
Todd Phillips
Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the Joker, with Lady Gaga joining the
cast as his love interest, Harley Quinn
Lady Gaga plays Lee, a fellow inmate on her way, we suppose, to becoming Joker's
girlfriend Harley Quinn. The pair hit it off at a music therapy class, and are soon mutually smitten, but Lee makes it clear that she loves
the dangerously charismatic Joker, 'clown prince of crime', not
the gloomily introspective Arthur.

Megalopolis review: Coppola's self-indulgent comeback may be a MEGAFLOPOLIS
Which is more real: the psychopath wearing the mask or the vulnerable fellow behind it?
Either way, identity confusion is the theme of this film, which keeps being billed as a musical.
It's not, really, although music looms large as an expression of Arthur and Lee's burgeoning love for one another.
And there are a couple of swooning dance routines that make them look like psychotic versions
of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in La La Land (2016).
Moreover, it is while watching Vincente Minnelli's 1953 classic
The Band Wagon that Lee, who claims to have been imprisoned for
arson, sets fire to their prison wing.
The ensuing chaos provides an excellent opportunity to
escape, yet Phillips and his co-writer Scott Silver skilfully toy with
our expectations throughout; each time we anticipate which way the narrative is going to go, it confounds us by wheeling off in another direction.

For me, Joker was a near-masterpiece, and while this sequel doesn't scale those heady heights, it is still a gripping film about mental illness, writes Brian Viner
Eventually, after Arthur's high-profile TV appearance with a smug interviewer played by Steve Coogan, it
is time for the trial, with all of Gotham gripped by the subject of multiple personality disorder.
Is the defendant accused of five murders Arthur, or is it Joker?
His kindly lawyer (Catherine Keener) strives to show it is the former; Lee just
as urgently wants him to identify as his demonic
alter ego.

His Three Daughters review: Savour this exquisite elegy to death and sisterhood,
writes BRIAN VINER
For me, Joker was a near-masterpiece, and while this sequel doesn't scale those heady heights, it is still a gripping film about mental illness; not quite comparable with
all-time greats such as Psycho (1960) and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975), but not too
far off.
- Joker's Gotham, of course, is a lightly fictionalised version of
New York City. The real thing is the backdrop to A Different
Man, another absorbing story, splendidly written and directed by
Aaron Schimberg, about an urban loner struggling with life.
In the case of the troubled, self-conscious Edward (Sebastian Stan), an aspiring actor,
that's apparently because he has a disfiguring craniofacial condition. Instructional corporate videos seem to be about as far as he
can get in the acting world.
There are obvious echoes of The Elephant Man (1980), and for that matter of recent release The Substance, in which Demi Moore's character, a
former movie star 'disfigured' by a few wrinkles,
finds a way of transforming into her own younger self.
A still from the film A Different Man directed by Aaron Schimberg
Here, Edward is told by a doctor that 'an alternative path has presented itself'.
In other words, medical science has found a way to reverse his condition, turning
him into a perfectly attractive middle-aged man.
But Schimberg's point, made with great satirical swagger, is that Edward, despite his radical change in appearance, is still the same person underneath that he always was.
In his former condition he was befriended by his pretty, charismatic neighbour, Ingrid (Renate Reinsve), a
playwright. Now he is able to fall into bed with her, and to star in a play she has written about their relationship, little though
she knows of his real identity.
I was even reminded of Tootsie (1982) and Mrs Doubtfire (1993) as Edward's new
persona fundamentally fails to alter who he actually is.
This is illuminated by the arrival of Oswald, an Englishman with the
same condition Edward once had, but popular, witty,
confident, and gloriously played by Adam
Pearson (who really does suffer from a disfiguring condition called neurofibromatosis).
Pearson is probably best-known for his debut film, Jonathan Glazer's brilliant Under The Skin (2013).
Which is apt, because this picture, too, is about what's under the skin.
-A longer review of Joker: Folie À Deux ran a
month ago. Both films are in cinemas now.
Paul Weller's film debut? That's entertainment!
The 68th London Film Festival opens next week with the world premiere of Blitz, director Steve McQueen's drama set in London as the Luftwaffe's
bombs rain down night after night.
Saoirse Ronan, for my money one of the most talented actresses of her generation, plays Rita, an East End mum whose son George (Elliott Heffernan) goes missing.
It sounds intriguing even without the casting of The Jam's former front
man Paul Weller — in his feature film debut — as Rita's father.
I'm also very much looking forward to another world premiere,
Joy, the story of the three brilliant British medical pioneers whose work
on IVF led to the world's first 'test-tube' baby, Louise Brown, in 1978.
Saoirse Ronan, Elliott Heffernan and Paul Weller in the film 'Blitz'
It is directed by Ben Taylor, best-known for his TV work on shows such as Sex Education and Catastrophe, and stars Bill Nighy, James Norton and Thomasin McKenzie.
I have heard great things about Conclave, the adaptation of Robert
Harris's novel starring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci.
A couple of new documentaries catch the eye, too. One of them
is made by actress Sadie Frost, whose directing debut was a film about Mary Quant.
This time she turns to another fashion icon of the 1960s, with a feature called Twiggy.
And Elton John: Never Too Late promises a 'uniquely
intimate' look at the star's life and career. It's been made by his
long-time partner David Furnish, so… we'll see.

LONDON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - British American Tobacco's admission that its U.S.
cigarette brands will be worthless within decades has ramped up pressure on the company to prove it can better compete in alternatives
like vapes.
Earlier on Wednesday, BAT put a 30-year lifetime on some U.S.
tobacco brands' value, taking a $31.5 billion noncash impairment.
The move marked the first time a tobacco company has
acknowledged that hugely profitable brands have
no economic future.
While the maker of Lucky Strike and Dunhill cigarettes has been investing in alternatives
like vapes to counter the decline, it lags behind rival Philip Morris International in the transition, leaving its shares trading at
a vastly lower price-earnings ratio than those of its main competitor.
"What really matters to the stock is how quickly you can replace (cigarettes) with alternative routes for consumers to get a nicotine hit and how profitable that will be," said Chris Beckett, head of equity research at Quilter
Cheviot, a BAT shareholder.
BAT says its newer products will break even years ahead of schedule.
Its vape business is growing, along with its oral nicotine product, Velo, the market leader in Europe.
However, it faces key challenges.
In the critical U.S. market, authorities have rejected its application to sell some key vape products and illegal disposable vapes have flooded the
market, denting sales of those products BAT is able to market.
The company is also under pressure from investors to
catch up with rival PMI in another alternative, heated tobacco.
Heated tobacco devices heat up sticks of tobacco resembling cigarettes but do
not burn them in an attempt to avoid harmful chemicals released during combustion.
PMI's IQOS product dominates this category with some 70% market share.
BAT's rival proposition, meanwhile, lost market share in 2023 in terms
of volume, to stand at 18.2% in key markets, the company said, adding that its
volume and revenue growth decelerated in the second half in a "disappointing" performance.
LATE ENTRY
It is harder for companies to generate profit from vapes due to
intense competition, said Orwa Mohamad, analyst at Third Bridge.
BAT's late entry into heated tobacco had left it at a disadvantage and an aggressive pricing strategy
aimed at winning share from IQOS had yet to bear fruit, he added.
Where PMI expects two-thirds of its net revenue to come from smoke-free products by
2030, BAT's ambition, announced on Wednesday, envisages only 50%
of its revenue from new categories by 2035.
Its slower progress versus PMI means BAT's shares have gained
little value so far from its commitment to transition, trading at
a price-earnings ratio only slightly above that of rival Imperial Brands.
Unlike the others, Imperial has in recent years pulled back from
heavy investments in new products to refocus on its
traditional cigarette business, leaving a question mark over its longer-term sustainability.
At the same time, BAT is now falling short of Imperial on something investors have long expected from highly cash-generative cigarette businesses:
healthy dividends and share buybacks.
Cigarette businesses are so profitable they do not need to last
beyond 30 years to make worthwhile investments, Beckett said, adding Imperial's share buybacks are evidence of that.
Imperial's delivery on this core element of tobacco companies' investment case has helped its
shares outperform rivals in recent years, rising
17% since the start of 2022. That compares with 1% for PMI's stock, and a decline of
13% for BAT.
BAT, meanwhile, disappointed the market on Wednesday when it
said it would need to reduce its leverage
ratio further before buybacks could resume.
A buyback would be "amazingly enhancing" to the stock, Beckett said.
