Current report
On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched military strikes on Iran and the situation remains highly uncertain. Following the military strikes, we briefly stopped production within our manufacturing facility in Bahrain and that facility is now operating with reduced capacity. As a result of this conflict, recent shipping disruptions in the Middle East and surrounding waterways have created logistical pressures, including impacts to the availability of certain shipping routes, resulting in increased shipping costs and time. While we have taken actions to divert our shipping routes to minimize impacts on our business, we may not be able to fully mitigate the impact of higher shipping rates, longer shipping routes and other adverse impacts related to this conflict in certain AMEA markets. However, to date, these developments have not had a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We continue to evaluate the impacts of these developments, including evolving geopolitical dynamics, on our business and we cannot predict if they will have a significant impact in the future. During the first quarter of 2026, Middle Eastern countries impacted by the conflict generated approximately 1.0% of our consolidated net revenue.
Current report
Extreme pricing did not have a material impact on our non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Current report
Restructuring charges – Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, we initiated new restructuring actions to reduce our cost structure and streamline our operations. The charges associated with those actions primarily relate to severance and other implementation costs. We completed our previous Simplify to Grow Program in 2024. Following the completion of that earlier restructuring program, any adjustments to the liabilities for previously recorded charges, which were immaterial for each period presented, continue to be reflected within this item.
Current report
Incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts - Reflects impacts related to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Includes costs related to transportation surcharges, evacuation costs and committed compensation.
Current report
Diluted EPS – Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International increased 41.9% to $0.44 in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives. This favorable item was partially offset by a decrease in Adjusted EPS, higher restructuring charges and higher costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program.

Income Taxes – In the first quarter of 2026, our effective tax rate was 29.4% as compared to 28.3% in the first quarter of 2025. The lower effective tax rate in the prior year was mainly driven by releases of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to audit developments in the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
•For the three months ended March 31, 2026, taxes for the: restructuring charges were $(9) million, mark-to-market losses from derivatives were $(59) million and ERP System Implementation program were $(13) million.

Current report
Net revenues increased $288 million (14.3%), due to favorable volume/mix (5.8 pp), higher net pricing (5.5 pp) and favorable currency translation rate changes (3.0 pp). Favorable volume/mix reflected volume growth in all categories except beverages. Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected in all categories except candy. Favorable currency translation impacts were due to the strength of most currencies in the region relative to the U.S. dollar, including the Australian dollar, Chinese yuan, South African rand and the Malaysian ringgit, partially offset by the strength of a few currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Indian rupee.
Current report
Segment operating income decreased $17 million (5.0%), primarily due to higher raw material costs, higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts. These unfavorable items were partially offset by higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity, favorable volume/mix impact, favorable currency translation rate changes and lower acquisition-related items.
Current report
Net revenues increased $321 million (9.0%), due to favorable currency translation rate changes (9.6 pp) and higher net pricing (2.6 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (3.2pp). Favorable currency translation rate changes reflected the strength of most currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, British pound sterling, Russian ruble, Polish zloty, Swedish krona and Norwegian krone, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to a few currencies, primarily the Turkish lira. Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected primarily in chocolate, biscuits & baked snacks, gum and candy. Unfavorable volume/mix reflected volume declines due to pricing elasticity impacts and was driven by declines in chocolate, candy and beverages, partially offset by gains in meals, biscuits & baked snacks and gum.
Current report
Segment operating income decreased $168 million (36.4%), primarily due to higher raw material costs, higher restructuring charges, unfavorable volume/mix and higher advertising and consumer promotion and other selling, general and administrative expenses. These unfavorable items were partially offset by higher net pricing, favorable currency translation rate changes and by lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity.
Current report
Net revenues increased $13 million (0.5%), due to higher net pricing (0.9 pp) and favorable currency translation rate changes (0.4 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (0.4 pp) and lapping prior-year net revenue from a divestiture (0.4 pp). Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected in all categories except candy. Favorable currency translation rate changes were due to the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily driven by declines in biscuits & baked snacks due to soft consumption in the U.S.

Previous report
In October 2023, conflict developed in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel, and has expanded to other parts of the region. Throughout 2024 and thus far in 2025, we experienced limited adverse sales impacts related to this conflict in certain AMEA markets, but this did not have a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We continue to evaluate the impacts of these developments, including ongoing geopolitical discussions, on our business and we cannot predict if the conflict will have a significant impact in the future.

The agreements provided us with the option to elect a buy-out conversion, at which time full responsibility of the MDLZ Global Plan obligations would transfer to the insurance companies. On June 12, 2025 we elected the buy-out conversion and recognized a non-cash pretax settlement loss of $282 million as a component of net periodic pension cost in the second quarter of 2025.

Incremental costs due to war in Ukraine – In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and we temporarily stopped our production and closed our manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod due to damage incurred during the conflict. In the second quarter of 2024, we fully resumed production at both facilities after completing targeted repairs. Incremental costs incurred by the company related to the ongoing war in Ukraine primarily relate to asset write-downs, net of recoveries.
Previous report
European commission legal matter – In November 2019, the European Commission informed us that it initiated an investigation into our alleged infringement of European Union competition law through certain practices allegedly restricting cross-border trade within the European Economic Area. We reached a negotiated resolution to this matter in the second quarter of 2024. We adjusted our accrual accordingly and fulfilled our payment obligation in August 2024. Due to the unique nature of this matter, we believe it to be infrequent and unusual and therefore exclude it from our non-GAAP earnings measures to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.

•Net revenues increased 5.9% to $9.7 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and increased 4.5% to $28.0 billion in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Previous report
–Net revenue growth in the first nine months of 2025 was driven by higher net pricing and incremental net revenue from our acquisition of Evirth, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, unfavorable currency-related items, as the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to several currencies we operate in compared to exchange rates in the prior year, and lapping prior-year net revenue from a short-term distributor agreement related to the sale of our developed market gum business.

•Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International decreased (9.5)% to $0.57 in the third quarter of 2025 and decreased 35.4% to $1.37 in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Previous report
–Diluted EPS decreased in the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in Adjusted EPS, an unfavorable year-over-year change in acquisition-related items, settlement losses related to the buy-out of retiree participants' obligations for two Canadian pension plans, lapping prior-year divestiture-related items and lapping prior-year favorable initial impacts from enacted tax law changes. These unfavorable items were partially offset by a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives, a gain on an equity method investment transaction, lower intangible asset impairment charges, a favorable impact from the resolution of an indirect tax matter and lapping prior-year costs for the completed Simplify to Grow Program.

Currency-related items increased operating income by $15 million due to favorable currency translation rate changes as the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina was immaterial. Favorable currency translation rate changes were primarily due to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, Russian ruble, British pound sterling, Mexican peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by the strength of U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Swiss franc and Turkish lira.
Previous report
Income Taxes – Our effective tax rate was 19.7% for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 28.8% in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily driven by a favorable jurisdictional mix of earnings, tax benefits related to the provision for final 2024 tax return filings, and the tax treatment of certain foreign pension assets.

Net revenue increase of 4.5% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 4.0% and the impact of an acquisition, partially offset by unfavorable currency-related items and lapping prior-year net revenue from a short-term distributor agreement related to the sale of our developed market gum business. Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing was due to the benefit of carryover pricing from 2024 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2025. Higher net pricing was reflected in all regions except North America where net pricing was essentially flat. Unfavorable volume/mix was experienced across all regions, driven by volume declines reflecting pricing elasticity impacts in Europe, Latin America and AMEA, as well as soft consumption in North America. The November 1, 2024 acquisition of Evirth added incremental net revenues of $288 million for the first nine months of 2025. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information. Currency-related items decreased net revenues by $137 million, driven by unfavorable currency translation rate changes, partially offset by the impact of 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, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Turkish lira, Australian dollar, Egyptian pound and Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, Russian ruble, British pound sterling, Polish zloty and Swedish krona.

We continue to observe significant market and geopolitical uncertainty, fluctuating consumer demand, inflationary pressures, supply constraints, trade and regulatory uncertainty and exchange rate volatility. As a result, we experienced significantly higher operating costs, including higher overall raw material, labor and energy costs that have continued to rise. In particular, while we expect cocoa costs to be lower in 2026 compared to the current year, we expect to continue to face elevated cocoa costs as compared to historical levels in the near- and medium-term. Refer to Commodity Trends for additional information.

Our overall outlook for future snacks revenue growth remains strong; however, we anticipate ongoing volatility. While we have responded to elevated raw material costs with pricing increases for certain of our products, the elasticity impacts from those pricing increases has adversely impacted consumer demand, particularly in the United States and Europe. We will continue to proactively manage our business in response to the evolving global economic environment, related uncertainty and business risks while also prioritizing and supporting our employees and customers. We continue to take steps to mitigate impacts to our supply chain, operations, technology and assets.

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 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.”

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. During the first quarter of 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were unlawful. Over the period in which these tariffs were in effect, we paid approximately $20 million of tariffs under the IEEPA. The timing and amount of any refunds of these tariffs remains uncertain at this stage. As such, we have not recorded any anticipated IEEPA tariff refund as of March 31, 2026. Additionally, the U.S. administration has continued to impose new tariffs under other provisions in U.S. trade law and will likely continue to do so in the future. 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 additional tariff actions are implemented, we would expect those adverse impacts on our business operations and financial performance to be significant.

We have suspended new capital investments and our advertising spending in Russia, but as a food company with more than 2,500 employees in the country, we have not ceased operations because we believe that we play a role in the continuity of the food supply. We continue to evaluate the situation in Ukraine and Russia and our ability to control our operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis and comply with applicable international sanctions. We continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries. During the third quarter of 2025, Ukraine generated 0.4% and Russia generated 3.7% of our consolidated net revenue and during the third quarter of 2024, Ukraine generated 0.4% and Russia generated 2.9% of our consolidated net revenue. The profitability of and the assets held by our Russian business continue to remain above historic levels. We cannot predict if the recent strength in our Russian business will continue in the future.
Current wording
In February 2022, following the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, we stopped production and closed our facilities in Ukraine; since then, we have taken steps to protect the safety of our employees and to restore operations at our two manufacturing facilities, which were significantly damaged in March 2022. We have suspended new capital investments and our advertising spending in Russia, but as a food company with more than 2,500 employees in the country, we have not ceased operations because we believe that we play a role in the continuity of the food supply. We continue to evaluate the situation in Ukraine and Russia and our ability to control our operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis and comply with applicable international sanctions. We continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2026, Ukraine generated 0.4% and Russia generated 3.1% of our consolidated net revenue.

In July 2024, our Board of Directors approved funding of $1.2 billion for a multi-year systems transformation program to upgrade our global ERP and supply chain systems (the “ERP System Implementation”). ERP System Implementation spending comprises both capital expenditures and operating expenses, of which a majority is expected to relate to operating expenses. The operating expenses associated with the ERP System Implementation represent incremental transformational costs above the normal ongoing level of spending on information technology to support operations. The ERP System Implementation program will be implemented by region in several phases with spending occurring over the next four years, with expected completion by year-end 2028. Refer to Non-GAAP financial measures for additional information.

We continue to monitor existing and potential future tax reform around the world. Numerous countries have enacted the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s model rules on a global minimum tax, effective for 2024. The existing legislation does not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, we continue to monitor all developments including how the June 28, 2025 G7 announcement that U.S.-parented companies be exempted from certain aspects of the global minimum tax regime will be incorporated into the model rules and local legislation around the world.

Numerous countries have enacted the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s model rules on a global minimum tax, effective for 2024. The existing legislation does not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. On January 5, 2026, the OECD Inclusive Framework members approved changes to the model rules, including the introduction of a “side by side” rule which would exempt U.S.-parented companies from certain aspects of the global minimum tax regime. The updated model rules will need to be incorporated into local tax legislation to be effective. We do not expect the new rules to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We also evaluate the operating performance of the company and its international subsidiaries on a constant currency basis. Our non-GAAP measures presented on a constant currency basis exclude the effects of currency translation rate changes and, beginning in the first quarter of 2024, extreme pricing increases in Argentina. For additional information, refer to Extreme Price Growth in Argentina. We determine constant currency operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.

For additional information, refer to Extreme Price Growth in Argentina and Other Currency-Related Items. We determine constant currency operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.

Net revenue increase of 5.9% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 3.4%, favorable currency-related items and the impact of an acquisition. Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing was due to the benefit of carryover pricing from 2024 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2025. Higher net pricing was reflected in all regions. Unfavorable volume/mix was experienced across all regions, driven by pricing elasticity impacts in Europe, Latin America and AMEA, as well as soft consumption in North America. Currency-related items increased net revenues by $137 million, driven by favorable currency translation rate changes and the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina. Refer to Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparabilityfor additional information.

Current wording
The reduction in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower cash-basis net earnings, combined with unfavorable year-over-year working capital movements.
Previous wording
The reduction in net cash used in investing activities was largely driven by net proceeds from investments in the current year as compared to net contributions in the prior year and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by lower proceeds from derivative settlements. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities, implement new product manufacturing and support productivity initiatives. We expect 2025 capital expenditures to be up to $1.3 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with funding our strategic priorities. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures with cash from operations.
Current wording
The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by net payments for derivative settlements in the current year versus net proceeds in the prior year, and higher capital expenditures in the current year. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities, implement new product manufacturing and support productivity initiatives. We expect 2026 capital expenditures to be up to $1.4 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with funding our strategic priorities. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures with cash from operations.

During the first nine months of 2025, we realized higher net pricing, which was more than offset by increased input costs and unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2024 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2025, was reflected across all regions except North America where net pricing was essentially flat. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity. Higher raw material costs were primarily due to higher cocoa, dairy, packaging, edible oils, nuts, energy and other ingredient costs, as well as unfavorable year-over-year currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, partially offset by lower sugar and grains costs. Overall, unfavorable volume/mix was experienced across all regions, reflecting pricing elasticity impacts as well as biscuit & baked snacks category softness in North America.
