Philip Morris International reported better-than-expected earnings for the quarter, but its outlook for the year was slightly below forecast.

The maker of Marlboro cigarettes outside the United States posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.60 for the second quarter that ended around June. Analysts tracking FactSet had expected $1.50 per share. Revenue of $9 billion was also above the $8.8 billion forecast by analysts.

Philip Morris (ticker: PM) stock was up almost 1% on Thursday morning.
