We are subject to international, national and local environmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we do business. Our inability to secure an adequate supply of such components and materials could negatively impact the commercialization of our RRPs. However, some components and materials necessary for the production of our RRPs are obtained from single or limited sources, and can be subject to industry-wide shortages and price fluctuations. The production of our RRP portfolio requires various metals, and we believe that there is an adequate supply of such metals in the world markets to satisfy our current and anticipated production requirements. Although we work closely with these service providers on monitoring their production capability and financial health, the commercialization of our RRPs could be adversely affected if they are unable to meet their commitments. We work with two electronics manufacturing service providers for the supply of our IQOS devices and a small number of other providers for other products in our RRP portfolio and related accessories. The adequate supply chain for our RRP portfolio, including the supply of electronic devices, is important to our business. We seek to compete in all profitable retail price categories, although our brand portfolio is weighted towards the premium-price category. In the RRP product category, we predominantly sell IQOS devices and heated tobacco units. In the combustible product category, we predominantly sell American blend cigarette brands, such as Marlboro, L&M, Parliament, Philip Morris and Chesterfield, which are the most popular across many of our markets. Some competitors have different profit and volume objectives, and some international competitors are susceptible to changes in different currency exchange rates. Industry consolidation and privatizations of state-owned enterprises have led to an overall increase in competitive pressures. Our competitors include three large international tobacco companies and several regional and local tobacco companies and, in some instances, state-owned tobacco enterprises, principally in Algeria, Egypt, the PRC, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. We compete primarily on the basis of product quality, brand recognition, brand loyalty, taste, R&D, innovation, packaging, customer service, marketing, advertising and retail price and, increasingly, adult smoker willingness to convert to our RRPs. We are subject to highly competitive conditions in all aspects of our business.
