Current report

In many markets, including the United States, certain products or a portion of our products, including significant inputs, are imported from other jurisdictions. As the current geopolitical environment remains unpredictable, we continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of proposed and enacted tariffs, including proposed and enacted retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions. We are evaluating the potential impact of these developments as well as our ability to mitigate the impact, as they are expected to adversely impact our revenue and cost of goods sold. If the provisions of certain proposed tariffs for which implementation is currently delayed are ultimately implemented as originally proposed, or if additional tariff actions are implemented, we would expect those adverse impacts on our business operations and financial performance to be significant. For most products and materials imported to the United States from Mexico and Canada, we comply with the terms of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA") and are therefore not subject to tariffs on most products and materials imported from those jurisdictions. However, the current trade environment continues to evolve rapidly and there can be no assurance that such products and materials will continue to be exempt. The implementation of additional protectionist trade measures, and any further retaliatory actions taken in response, could result in increased costs and pricing pressures, disrupt consumer spending patterns, and impact market stability and consumer confidence, any or all of which could adversely affect our operating results. For additional information, see the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including the risk entitled “We are subject to risks from changes to the trade policies and tariff and import/export regulations by the U.S. and/or other foreign governments.”

Current report

During the third quarter of 2024, we entered into an annuity agreement with two third party insurance companies for the Mondelēz Global LLC Retirement Plan (“MDLZ Global Plan”), the pension plan for US salaried employees. The annuity agreement featured a buy-in of the plan assets with an option to elect a future buy-out conversion.

Current report

•Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International decreased (70.2)% to $0.31 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was driven by an unfavorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives, a decrease in Adjusted EPS and costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program. These unfavorable items were partially offset by lapping a prior-year equity method investment impairment, lapping prior-year costs for the completed Simplify to Grow Program, lower acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments and lower losses on remeasurement of net monetary position in highly inflationary countries.

Current report

Net revenues increased $66 million (3.4%), due to the impact of an acquisition (5.1 pp) and higher net pricing (4.8 pp), partially offset by unfavorable currency translation rate changes (3.5 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (3.0 pp). The November 1, 2024 acquisition of Evirth added incremental net revenues of $99 million (constant currency basis) in the first quarter of 2025. Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected across all categories except cheese & grocery. Unfavorable currency translation impacts were due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies in the region, including the Egyptian pound, Indian rupee, and Australian dollar. Unfavorable volume/mix reflected volume declines due to pricing elasticity impacts. Overall, unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in chocolate, refreshment beverages and cheese & grocery, partially offset by gains in gum and biscuits & baked snacks.

Current report

Segment operating income decreased $68 million (16.5%), primarily due to higher raw material costs, unfavorable volume/mix, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses, unfavorable currency translation rate changes, higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments and costs incurred for the ERP Systems Implementation program. These unfavorable items were partially offset by higher net pricing, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity and the impact from our Evirth acquisition.

Current report

Net revenues increased $182 million (5.4%), due to higher net pricing (13.4 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (4.5 pp), unfavorable currency translation rate changes (2.7 pp) and lapping the prior-year net revenue from a short-term distributor agreements (0.8 pp). Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected across all categories. Unfavorable volume/mix reflected volume declines due to pricing elasticity impacts. Overall, unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in chocolate, candy, gum, refreshment beverages and cheese & grocery, partially offset by a gain in biscuits & baked snacks. Unfavorable currency translation rate changes reflected the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies across the region, primarily the euro and Turkish lira. The lapping of the prior-year short-term distributor agreement related to the sale of our developed market gum business, which ended in the first quarter of 2024, resulted in a year-over-year incremental reduction in net revenue of $25 million.

Current report

Segment operating income decreased $129 million (21.8%), primarily due to higher raw material costs, unfavorable volume/mix, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses and costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program. These unfavorable items were partially offset by higher net pricing, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, lapping prior-year costs for the completed Simplify to Grow Program, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity and lower divestiture-related costs.

We recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million (or $368 million after-tax). Our reduction in ownership to below 5% resulted in a change of accounting from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values ("marketable securities"). On June 8, 2023, we sold 23 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership to 1.6%. On July 13, 2023, we sold our remaining 23 million shares and received approximately $704 million in proceeds.

Previous report

We seek to achieve profitable, long-term growth and manage our business to attain this goal using our key operating metrics: Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS. We use these non-GAAP financial metrics and related computations, particularly growth in profit dollars, to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near- and long-term operating and strategic decisions. As such, we believe these metrics are useful to investors as they provide supplemental information in addition to our U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") financial results. We believe it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that we use internally to make comparisons of our historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and evaluate our business. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures should always be considered in relation to our U.S. GAAP results. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and Consolidated Results of Operations for the respective reconciliations.

Previous report

In addition to monitoring our key operating metrics, we monitor developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives, as highlighted in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

–Diluted EPS decreased in the third quarter of 2024, driven by an unfavorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and currency derivatives, higher intangible asset impairment charges, lapping prior-year operating results from the developed market gum business divested in 2023, costs incurred for the ERP Systems Implementation program and lapping prior-year gain on marketable securities. These unfavorable items were partially offset by an increase in Adjusted EPS, favorable year-over-year change in acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, lower equity method investee items, favorable year-over-year change in initial impacts from enacted tax law changes and lower loss on remeasurement of net monetary position.

Previous report

Net revenue increase of 1.9% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 5.4%, partially offset by the impact of our 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business and unfavorable currency-related items. Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing in all regions was due to the benefit of carryover pricing from 2023 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2024. Overall, positive volume/mix reflected improved volume trends in North America due to increased consumer demand in the U.S. as well as Europe rebounding from last quarter's customer price negotiation disruptions. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in North America, Europe and AMEA, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in Latin America. The impact of our 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business resulted in a year-over-year reduction in net revenues of $179 million for the third quarter of 2024. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information. Currency-related items decreased net revenues by $120 million, driven by unfavorable currency translation rate changes, partially offset by the adjustment for extreme pricing in Argentina. Refer to Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparabilityfor additional information. Unfavorable currency translation rate changes were due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, primarily the Argentinean peso, as well as the Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Nigerian naira, Egyptian pound and Turkish lira, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the British pound sterling, euro, Russian ruble, Polish zloty, Australian dollar and Chinese yuan.

Previous report

During the third quarter of 2024, we realized higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix, which were partially offset by increased input costs. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2023 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2024, was reflected across all regions. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in Europe and North America, partially offset by declines in Latin America and AMEA. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs due to productivity. Higher raw material costs were in part due to higher cocoa, sugar, nuts, dairy and other ingredient costs, as well as unfavorable year-over-year currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, partially offset by lower energy, edible oils, packaging, and grains costs.

Previous report

Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $389 million from the third quarter of 2023, which was net of benefits from a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, a favorable contingent consideration adjustment related to the Clif Bar acquisition and lower acquisition integration costs, the elimination of costs from the developed market gum business divested in 2023, a favorable currency translation impact related to expenses, lower divestiture-related costs and lower remeasurement loss of net monetary position, partially offset by costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program and higher implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow program. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $53 million from the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and higher overhead costs in part due to increased investments in route to market capabilities.

During December 2023, the Argentinean peso significantly devalued. The peso's devaluation and potential resulting distortion on our non-GAAP Organic Net Revenue, Organic Net Revenue growth and other constant currency growth rate measures resulted in our decision to exclude the impact of pricing in excess of 26% year-over-year ("extreme pricing") in Argentina, from these measures beginning in Q1 2024. The benchmark of 26% represents the minimum annual inflation rate for each year over a 3-year period which would result in a cumulative inflation rate in excess of 100%, the level at which an economy is considered hyperinflationary under U.S. GAAP. Throughout the following MD&A discussion, we now exclude, on a prospective basis, the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina from the net pricing impact of Organic Net Revenue and Organic Net Revenue growth and its related impact on our other non-GAAP financial constant currency growth measures with a corresponding adjustment in changes in currency translation rates. Additionally within the MD&A discussion, "currency-related items" totals the impact of extreme pricing and the currency translation rate changes.

We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Overall, we do not expect negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity, and we continue to monitor our global operations including the impact of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. To date, we have been successful in generating cash and raising financing as needed. However, if a serious economic or credit market crisis ensues or other adverse developments arise, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash-basis net earnings, largely due to operating gains, partially offset by unfavorable year-over-year working capital movements, including the payment of the European Commission matter. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Current wording

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower cash-basis net earnings, combined with higher year-over-year working capital movements.

Previous wording

The reduction in net cash used in/provided by investing activities was largely driven by lapping prior year proceeds from the KDP and JDEP share sales (refer to Note 6, Investments) combined with higher capital expenditures. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities, implement new product manufacturing and support productivity initiatives. We expect 2024 capital expenditures to be up to $1.5 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our Simplify to Grow Program and for funding our strategic priorities. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures with cash from operations.

–Net revenue growth in the third quarter of 2024 was driven by higher net pricing and favorable volume mix, partially offset by the impact of our 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business and unfavorable currency-related items, as the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to most currencies we operate in compared to exchange rates in the prior year.
