Third Quarter Commentary

2024 Outlook
Mondelēz International provides its outlook on a non-GAAP basis, as the company cannot predict some elements that are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange. Refer to the Outlook section in the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below for more details.

For 2024, the company reaffirms Organic Net Revenue growth to be at the upper end of 3 to 5 percent and high single-digit Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis based on 2023 Adjusted EPS incl. developed market gum1. The company expects 2024 Free Cash Flow of $3.5+ billion. The company estimates currency translation would decrease 2024 net revenue growth by approximately 1.5 percent3 with a negative $0.11 impact to Adjusted EPS3.

Outlook is provided in the context of greater than usual volatility, including due to geopolitical uncertainty and commodity prices.

Conference Call
Mondelēz International will host a conference call for investors with accompanying slides to review its results at 5 p.m. ET today. A listen-only webcast will be provided at www.mondelezinternational.com. An archive of the webcast will be available on the company’s web site.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). However, management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of the company’s historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results, and provides additional transparency on how the company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. The company also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.

The company considers quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of its ongoing financial and business performance and trends. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales and non-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major program financing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. See below for a description of adjustments to the company’s U.S. GAAP financial measures included herein.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

DEFINITIONS OF THE COMPANY’S NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The company’s non-GAAP financial measures and corresponding metrics reflect how the company evaluates its operating results currently and provide improved comparability of operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When these definitions change, the company provides the updated definitions and presents the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis. When items no longer impact the company’s current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, the company removes these items from its non-GAAP definitions. Beginning in Q1 2024, due to a significant devaluation of the Argentinean peso that occurred in December 2023 and the resulting distortion it would cause on our non-GAAP constant currency growth rate measures, the company now excludes the impact of pricing in excess of 26% year-over-year (“extreme pricing”) in Argentina. 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. The company has excluded the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina from its calculation of Organic Net Revenue, Organic Net Revenue growth and other non-GAAP financial constant currency growth measures with a corresponding adjustment to changes in currency exchange rates. The company made this change on a prospective basis due to the distorting effect expected in the current period and future periods following the Argentinian peso devaluation that occurred in December 2023 and did not revise its historical non-GAAP constant currency growth measures. Beginning in Q2 2024, the company added to its non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of operating expenses associated with its ERP System Implementation program as they represent incremental transformational costs above the normal ongoing level of spending on information technology to support operations. These operating expenses will be excluded from the company’s non-GAAP financial measures as they are nonrecurring and excluding those costs will better facilitate comparisons of the company’s underlying operating performance across periods.

See the attached schedules for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. See Items Impacting Comparability of Operating Results below for more information about the items referenced in these definitions that specifically impacted the company’s results.

SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME
The company uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The company believes it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. The company excludes these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of its segment operating results. Furthermore, the company centrally manages benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, the company does not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS
The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability of operating results. The company identifies these based on how management views the company’s business; makes financial, operating and planning decisions; and evaluates the company’s ongoing performance. In addition, the company discloses the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on the company’s financial results in order to reflect results on a constant currency basis.

Divestitures, Divestiture-related costs and Gains/(losses) on divestitures
Divestitures include completed sales of businesses, exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement. the partial or full sale of an equity method investment and changes from equity method investment accounting to accounting for marketable securities. As the company records its share of JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any JDE Peet’s ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within the company’s non-GAAP results the following quarter. Divestiture-related costs, which includes costs incurred in relation to the preparation and completion (including one-time costs such as severance related to elimination of stranded costs) for the company’s divestitures as defined above, also includes costs incurred associated with the company’s publicly announced processes to sell businesses.

Operating results from short-term distributor agreements
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the company began to exclude the operating results from short-term distributor agreements that have been executed in conjunction with the sale of a business. The company excludes this item to better facilitate comparisons of underlying performance across periods.

As part of the sale of the company’s developed market gum business on October 1, 2023, the company entered into a short-term distribution agreement with the buyer, Perfetti Van Melle Group, to distribute gum products in certain European markets for up to six months. The company recorded net revenues of $25 million and operating income of $2 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Acquisitions, Acquisition-related costs and Acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments
Acquisition-related costs, which includes transaction costs such as third party advisor, investment banking and legal fees, also includes one-time compensation expense related to the buyout of non-vested employee stock ownership plan shares and realized gains or losses from hedging activities associated with acquisition funds. Acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments include one-time costs related to the integration of acquisitions as well as any adjustments made to the fair market value of contingent compensation liabilities that have been previously booked for earn-outs related to acquisitions that do not relate to employee compensation expense. The company excludes these items to better facilitate comparisons of its underlying operating performance across periods.

On September 20, 2024, the company announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire a majority of Evirth (Shanghai) Industrial Co., Ltd (“Evirth”), a leading manufacturer of cakes and pastries in China. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024. The company incurred acquisition-related costs of $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

On November 1, 2022, the company acquired 100% of the equity of Grupo Bimbo’s confectionery business, Ricolino, located primarily in Mexico. The acquisition of Ricolino builds on our continued prioritization of fast-growing snacking segments in key geographies. The company incurred acquisition integration costs of $2 million in the three months and $28 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $14 million in the three months and $30 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On August 1, 2022, the company acquired 100% of the equity of Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”), a leading U.S. maker of nutritious energy bars with organic ingredients. The acquisition expands our global snacks bar business and complements our refrigerated snacking and performance nutrition bar portfolios. The company incurred acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments resulting in income of $342 million in the three months and $306 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and expense of $37 million in the three months and $92 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the expected forecast for 2025 and 2026 has been updated to reflect recent trends in business performance and market outlook which resulted in a reduction of $350 million in the fair value of the contingent consideration.

On January 3, 2022, the company acquired 100% of the equity of Chipita Global S.A. (“Chipita”), a leading croissants and baked snacks company in the Central and Eastern European markets. The acquisition of Chipita offers a strategic complement to the company’s existing portfolio and advances its strategy to become the global leader in broader snacking. The company incurred acquisition integration costs of $10 million in the three months and $11 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $5 million in the three months and $15 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On April 1, 2020, the company acquired a majority interest in Give & Go, a North American leader in fully-finished sweet baked goods and owner of the famous two-bite® brand of brownies and the Create-A-Treat® brand, known for cookie and gingerbread house decorating kits. The acquisition of Give & Go provides access to the in-store bakery channel and expands the company’s position in broader snacking. The company incurred acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments of $2 million in the three months and $17 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which primarily includes an increase to the contingent consideration liability due to changes to underlying assumptions, and $10 million in the three months and $11 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Simplify to Grow Program
The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce the company’s operating cost structure in both its supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs.

Restructuring costs
The company reversed restructuring charges of $5 million in the three months and incurred restructuring charges of $40 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $16 million in the three months and $48 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This activity was recorded within asset impairment and exit costs and benefit plan non-service income. These charges were for severance and related costs, non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other adjustments, including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets.

Implementation costs
Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing the company’s operations and facilities in connection with its supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of the company’s information systems. The company recorded implementation costs of $17 million in the three months and $40 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $4 million in the three months and $13 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Intangible asset impairment charges
During the company’s 2024 annual testing of indefinite-life intangible assets, the company recorded intangible asset impairment charges of $153 million in the third quarter of 2024 related to two biscuit brands in the Europe segment, one biscuit brand in the AMEA segment and one candy and one biscuit brand in the Latin America segment. The impairments were driven by changes in projections, resulting primarily from the impact of customer price negotiation disruptions and continued commodity cost pressures in the third quarter of 2024, which are expected to result in a slower recovery than previously expected. The impairment charges were calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the intangible assets on a global basis and were recorded within asset impairment and exit costs.

During the company’s 2023 annual testing of indefinite-life intangible assets, the company recorded intangible asset impairment charges of $26 million in the third quarter of 2023 related to one chocolate brand in the North America segment and one biscuit brand in the Europe segment. The impairments were driven by changes in projections as a result of current and expected operating environment.

Mark-to-market impacts from commodity and currency derivative contracts
The company excludes unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts from its non-GAAP earnings measures. The mark-to-market impacts of commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives are excluded until such time that the related exposures impact the company’s operating results. Since the company purchases commodity and forecasted currency transaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, the company makes this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of its underlying operating performance across periods. The company excludes equity method investment derivative contract settlements as they represent protection of value for future divestitures. The company recorded commodity, forecasted currency and equity method transaction derivatives net unrealized losses of $707 million in the three months and $156 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and gains of $20 million in the three months and $236 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Remeasurement of net monetary position
The company translates the results of operations of its subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. The company records currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.

Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country, from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. At this time, within the company’s consolidated entities, Argentina and Türkiye are accounted for as highly inflationary economies. For Argentina, the company recorded a remeasurement loss of $4 million in the three months and $14 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $20 million in the three months and $41 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the revaluation of the Argentinean peso denominated net monetary position over these periods. For Türkiye, the company recorded a remeasurement loss of $5 million in the three months and $12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $2 million in the three months and $19 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the revaluation of the Turkish lira denominated net monetary position over these periods. The company recorded these charges for Argentina and Türkiye within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Impact from pension participation changes
The impact from pension participation changes represent the charges incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans and other changes in employee group pension plan participation. The company excludes these charges from its non-GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect the company’s ongoing pension obligations.

On July 11, 2019, the company received an undiscounted withdrawal liability assessment related to the company’s complete withdrawal from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund totaling $491 million requiring pro-rata monthly payments over 20 years. The company began making monthly payments during the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the discounted long-term liability, the company recorded accreted interest of $2 million in the three months and $7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $3 million in the three months and $8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 within interest and other expense, net. As of September 30, 2024, the remaining discounted withdrawal liability was $316 million, with $16 million recorded in other current liabilities and $300 million recorded in long-term other liabilities.

Incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine
In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and the company closed its operations and facilities in Ukraine. In March 2022, the company’s two Ukrainian manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod were significantly damaged. In the second quarter of 2024, the company fully resumed production at both facilities after completing targeted repairs. The company continues to consolidate both its Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries and continues to evaluate its ability to control its operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis. The company continues to evaluate the uncertainty of the ongoing effects of the war in Ukraine and its impact on the global economic environment, and the company cannot predict if it will have a significant impact in the future. The company incurred costs of $2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The company reversed $2 million during the first nine months of 2023 of previously recorded charges primarily as a result of higher than expected collection of trade receivables and inventory recoveries.

ERP System Implementation
In July 2024, the company’s Board of Directors approved funding of $1.2 billion for a multi-year systems transformation program to upgrade its global ERP and supply chain systems (the “ERP System Implementation”). The ERP System Implementation spending comprises both capital expenditures and operating expenses, of which a majority is expected to relate to operating expenses. The ERP System Implementation program will be implemented by region in several phases with spending occurring over the next five years, with expected completion by year-end 2028. 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. These expenses include third-party consulting fees, direct labor costs associated with the program, accelerated depreciation of the company’s existing SAP financial systems and various other expenses, all associated with the implementation of the company’s information technology upgrades. The company excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP results as they are nonrecurring and will better facilitate comparisons of the company’s underlying operating performance across periods.

The company recorded operating expenses of $29 million in the three months and $38 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Initial impacts from enacted tax law changes
The company excludes initial impacts from enacted tax law changes from its non-GAAP financial measures as they do not reflect its ongoing tax obligations under the enacted tax law changes. Initial impacts include items such as the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and the transition tax from the 2017 U.S. tax reform.

The company recorded a net tax benefit from the decrease of its deferred tax liabilities resulting from enacted tax legislation of $11 million in the three months and a net tax expense from the increase of its deferred tax liabilities resulting from enacted tax legislation of $12 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and recorded a net tax expense from the increase of its deferred tax liabilities resulting from enacted tax legislation of $13 million in the three months and $15 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Gains and losses on marketable securities and equity method investment transactions (including impairment charges)
Keurig Dr Pepper
During the first quarter of 2023, the company’s reduction in ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: “KDP”) fell to below 5% of the outstanding shares, resulting in a change of accounting for its KDP investment, from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values (“marketable securities”) as the company no longer had significant influence over KDP. Marketable securities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1).

On July 13, 2023, the company sold 23 million shares, the remainder of its shares of KDP. The company received proceeds of approximately $704 million.

On June 8, 2023, the company sold 23 million shares of KDP, which reduced its ownership by 1.6 percentage points, from 3.2% to 1.6% of the total outstanding shares. The company received proceeds of approximately $708 million.

On March 2, 2023, the company sold 30 million shares of KDP, which reduced its ownership interest by 2.1 percentage points, from 5.3% to 3.2% of the total outstanding shares. The company received proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion and prior to the change of accounting for its KDP investment, recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million ($368 million after-tax) during the first quarter of 2023.

Pre-tax (losses)/gains for marketable securities for the three and nine ended September 30, 2023 are summarized below:

  Three Months Ended
September 30, 2023
  Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2023
  (in millions)
Gain on marketable securities sold during the period $     $ 593
Dividend income and other   (1 )     13
Total (loss)/gain on marketable securities $ (1 )   $ 606

Due to the change in accounting for the company’s KDP investment, from equity method investment accounting to accounting as marketable securities, the company has treated the historical equity method earnings from KDP as a divestiture under the definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures. Therefore, the company has removed the equity method investment net earnings for KDP from its non-GAAP financial results for all historical periods presented to facilitate comparison of results.

JDEP
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the company determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment of its investment in JDEP, resulting in an impairment charge of €612 million ($665 million). This charge was included within (Loss)/gain on equity method investment transactions including impairments in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. There was no other than temporary impairment identified in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On March 30, 2023, the company issued options to sell shares of JDEP in tranches equivalent to approximately 7.7 million shares, exercisable at maturity during the third quarter of 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, options were exercised on 2.2 million shares, which reduced the company’s ownership by 0.4%, from 18.1% to 17.7% of the total outstanding shares. The company recorded a loss of €3 million ($4 million) for these sales during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

On April 3, 2023, the company sold approximately 7.7 million shares of JDEP, which reduced the company’s ownership by 1.6 percentage points, from 19.7% to 18.1% of the total outstanding shares. The company recorded a loss of €18 million ($19 million) on this sale during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The company considered the above ownership reductions as partial divestitures of its equity method investment in JDEP. Therefore, the company has removed the equity method investment net earnings related to the divested portion from its non-GAAP financial results for Adjusted EPS for all historical periods presented to facilitate comparison of results. The company’s U.S. GAAP results, which include its equity method investment net earnings from JDEP, did not change from what was previously reported.

Equity method investee items
Within Adjusted EPS, the company’s equity method investment net earnings exclude its proportionate share of its equity method investee’s significant operating and non-operating items, such as acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring program costs and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes.

Currency-related items
Management evaluates the operating performance of the company and its international subsidiaries on a constant currency basis. The company determines its currency-related items by evaluating currency translation rate changes with a corresponding adjustment due to the exclusion of the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina.

Currency translation rate changes
The company determines its 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 company’s 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. Therefore, currency translation rate changes are equal to current period local currency operating results multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rates between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Extreme Pricing
During December 2023, the Argentinean peso significantly devalued. The peso’s devaluation and potential resulting distortion on the company’s non-GAAP Organic Net Revenue, Organic Net Revenue growth and other constant currency growth rate measures resulted in the company’s 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.

Currency-related items impacted the company’s non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as follows:

Currency-related items impacted the company’s non-GAAP financial measures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as follows:

OUTLOOK
The company’s outlook for 2024 Organic Net Revenue growth, Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise adjust for items impacting comparability of financial results such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, restructuring activities, acquisitions and divestitures. The company is not able to reconcile its projected Organic Net Revenue growth to its projected reported net revenue growth for the full-year 2024 because the company is unable to predict during this period the impact from potential acquisitions or divestitures, as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes in currency exchange rates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company’s operations are outside the U.S. The company is not able to reconcile its projected Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis to its projected reported diluted EPS growth for the full-year 2024 because the company is unable to predict during this period the timing of its restructuring program costs, mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts and impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes in currency exchange rates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company’s operations are outside the U.S. The company is not able to reconcile its projected Free Cash Flow to its projected net cash from operating activities for the full-year 2024 because the company is unable to predict during this period the timing and amount of capital expenditures impacting cash flow. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.
