Total industry volume (HTU & cigarettes) shows an increase of 1.3% (3 months) 1.2% (9 months). The international market appears to be not only stabilizing but also growing slightly.

HTU

IQOS is now the second largest nicotine brand in the world and continues to expand its market share.

E-Vapor

Veev has sold around 1.3 billion sticks (1ml = 10 sticks) since the beginning of the year.

Oral

The supply problems seem to be easing and sales are normalizing. Outside the USA, the volume has even increased by 70%. Zyn is now active in 30 markets.

Combustibles

Marlboro has the highest market share since the spin-off in 2008.

I am more than satisfied with the results. It's nice to see how profitable SFB is (70% gross profit margin). I am sure that Q4 will be similarly good.
