Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments with readily determinable fair values for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence are measured at fair value.

War in Ukraine

In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and we closed our operations and facilities in Ukraine. In March 2022, our two Ukrainian manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod were significantly damaged. During the first quarter of 2022, we evaluated and impaired these and other related assets. We recorded $143 million of total expenses ($145 million after-tax) incurred as a direct result of the war. We reversed $22 million during the remainder of 2022 of previously recorded charges primarily as a result of higher than expected collection of trade receivables and inventory recoveries. We continue to make targeted repairs on both our plants and have partially reopened and restarted limited production in both plants. We also continue to support our Ukraine employees, including paying salaries to those not yet able to return to work until full production returns. We continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries and continue to evaluate our ability to control our operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, expectations of future impacts and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Given the uncertainty of the ongoing effects of the war in Ukraine, and its impact on the global economic environment, our estimates could be significantly different than future performance.

Highly Inflationary Accounting

Within our consolidated entities, Argentina and Türkiye (Turkey) are accounted for as highly inflationary economies. Argentina and Türkiye represent 1.6% and 0.5% of our consolidated net revenues with remeasurement losses of $20 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 1.6% and 0.8% of our consolidated net revenues with remeasurement losses of $41 million and $19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Given the continued volatility of these currencies, impacts to our financial statements in future periods could be significantly different from historical levels.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We also have restricted cash within other current assets of $67 million as of September 30, 2023 and $25 million as of December 31, 2022. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $1,677 million as of September 30, 2023 and $1,948 million as of December 31, 2022.

Allowances for Credit Losses

Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of:

Currency	(2)		4		(1)
Balance at September 30, 2023	$	(63)	$	(52)	$	(14)

Transfers of Financial Assets

The outstanding principal amount of receivables under our uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements amounted to $755 million as of September 30, 2023 and $516 million as of December 31, 2022. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was not material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Non-Cash Lease Transactions

We recorded $86 million in operating lease and $101 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $206 million in operating lease and $135 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Supply Chain Financing

As part of our continued efforts to improve our working capital efficiency, we have worked with our suppliers over the past several years to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. Our current payment terms with a majority of our suppliers are from 30 to 180 days, which we deem to be commercially reasonable. We also facilitate voluntary supply chain financing (“SCF”) programs through several participating financial institutions. Under these programs, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, determine invoices that they want to sell to participating financial institutions. Our suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in SCF programs has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. Our responsibility is limited to making payments based upon the agreed-upon contractual terms. No guarantees are provided by the Company or any of our subsidiaries under the SCF programs and we have no economic interest in the suppliers’ decision to participate in the SCF programs. Amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheet. We have been informed by the participating financial institutions that our outstanding accounts payable related to suppliers that participate in the SCF programs was $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which requires companies to recognize and measure customer contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if the acquiring company originated the related revenue contracts. Prior to adopting this ASU, acquired contract assets and liabilities were measured at fair value. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2023 and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring additional disclosure about the key terms of these programs and a roll-forward of the related obligations to understand the effects of these programs on working capital, liquidity and cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the roll-forward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted, with the exception of the roll-forward requirement, this standard in the first quarter of 2023 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

Ricolino

On November 1, 2022, we 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 cash consideration paid for Ricolino totaled $26 billion Mexican pesos ($1.3 billion), net of cash received.

We are working to complete the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of:



	(in millions)
Cash	$	22
Receivables	86
Inventory	70
Other current assets	3
Property, plant and equipment	144
Operating leases right of use assets	23

Definite-life intangible assets	218
Indefinite-life intangible assets	339
Goodwill	717
Other assets	3
Assets acquired	$	1,625

Deferred tax liability	76
Operating lease liabilities	23
Other liabilities	14
Total purchase price	$	1,330

Within identifiable intangible assets, we allocated $339 million to trade names, which have an indefinite life. The fair value for the Ricolino, Dulces Vero, LaCorona and Coronado trade names were determined using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of the income approach, at the acquisition date. The fair value measurement of indefinite-life intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include estimates of future sales, discount and royalty rates.

Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across both new and legacy product categories in Mexico. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Latin America operating segment.

Ricolino added incremental net revenues of $180 million during the three months and $506 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and operating income of $15 million during the three months and $31 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred acquisition integration costs of $14 million during the three months and $30 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We also incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, acquisition integration costs of $7 million in preparation for the acquisition. We incurred $1 million of acquisition-related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Clif Bar

On August 1, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”), a leading U.S. maker of

Table of Contents

nutritious energy bars with organic ingredients. The acquisition expands our global snack bar business and complements our refrigerated snacking and performance nutrition bar portfolios. The total cash payment of $2.9 billion includes purchase price consideration of $2.6 billion, net of cash received, and one-time compensation expense of $0.3 billion related to the buyout of the non-vested employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") shares. This compensation expense is considered an acquisition-related cost. The acquisition of Clif Bar includes a contingent consideration arrangement that may require us to pay additional consideration to the sellers for achieving certain revenue and earnings targets in 2025 and 2026 that exceed our base financial projections for the business implied in the upfront purchase price. The possible payments range from zero to a maximum total of $2.4 billion, with higher payouts requiring the achievement of targets that generate rates of returns in excess of the base financial projections. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date was $440 million determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the liability include financial projections for net revenue, gross profit, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as well as discount and volatility rates.

We have completed the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have recorded a purchase price allocation of:

Within identifiable intangible assets, we allocated $1,450 million to trade names, which have an indefinite life. The fair value for the Clif and Luna trade names, were determined using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of the income approach, at the acquisition date. The fair value measurement of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include forecasted future revenue, discount and royalty rates. We expect to generate a meaningful cash tax benefit over time from the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.

Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across the U.S. and other key markets. All of the goodwill was assigned to the North America operating segment. Tax deductible goodwill is expected to be $1.4 billion and will be amortized.

Through the one-year anniversary of the acquisition, Clif Bar added incremental net revenues of $71 million during the three months and $529 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and operating income of $11 million during the three months and $81 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We also incurred acquisition integration costs of $37 million during the three months and $92 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These acquisition integration costs include an increase to the contingent consideration liability due to changes to underlying assumptions. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments for additional information. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred acquisition integration costs of $16 million and an inventory step-up charge of $20 million. We also incurred acquisition-related costs of $292 million

during the three months and $296 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These acquisition-related costs are primarily related to the buyout of the non-vested ESOP shares.

Chipita

On January 3, 2022, we 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 our existing portfolio and advances our strategy to become the global leader in broader snacking. The cash consideration paid for Chipita totaled €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion), net of cash received, plus the assumption of Chipita’s debt of €0.4 billion ($0.4 billion) for a total purchase price of €1.7 billion ($1.8 billion).

We have recorded a purchase price allocation of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Within identifiable intangible assets, we allocated $686 million to trade names, which have an indefinite life. The fair value for the 7 Days trade name, which is the primary asset acquired, was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach at the acquisition date. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include forecasted future cash flows and discount rates.

Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across both new and legacy product categories. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Europe operating segment.

We incurred acquisition integration costs of $5 million during the three months and $15 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred acquisition integration costs of $14 million during the three months and $85 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $21 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(1)In 2022, we recorded $101 million of intangible asset impairment charges related to two biscuit brands in the AMEA segment, of which $78 million was recorded in the first quarter and $23 million was recorded in the third quarter.

(2)In 2023, we recorded $26 million of intangible asset impairment charges related to a chocolate brand in the North America segment for $20 million and a biscuit brand in the Europe segment for $6 million in the third quarter.

Indefinite-life intangible assets consist principally of brand names purchased through our acquisitions of Nabisco Holdings Corp., the global LU biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A., Cadbury Limited and Clif Bar. Definite-life intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $38 million for the three months and $114 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $32 million for the three months and $96 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $145 million in 2023-2025, approximately $95 million in 2026 and approximately $90 million in 2027 (reflecting September 30, 2023 exchange rates).

During the third quarter of 2023, we performed our annual impairment assessment test for goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets as of July 1, 2023.

Our 2023 annual testing of goodwill resulted in no impairments as each reporting unit had fair value in excess of carrying value. As part of our goodwill quantitative assessment, we compare a reporting unit's estimated fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, we would record an impairment for the difference. We estimate a reporting unit's fair value using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates discount rates, planned growth rates, and estimates of residual value. For our Europe and North America reporting units, we used a market-based weighted average cost of capital of 7.1% to discount projected cash flows of those operations. For our Latin America and AMEA reporting units, we used a risk-rated discount rate of 10.1% to discount projected cash flows from those operations. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, industry conditions and economic conditions based on available information. Given the uncertainty of the global macroeconomic environment, those estimates could be

Table of Contents

significantly different than future performance. While all reporting units passed our annual impairment testing, if planned business performance expectations are not met or specific valuation factors outside our control, such as discount rates, changes significantly, then the estimated fair values of a reporting unit might decline and lead to a goodwill impairment in the future.

Our 2023 annual testing of indefinite-life intangible assets resulted in an impairment of $26 million related to a chocolate brand in the North America segment and a biscuit brand in the Europe segment. The impairments were driven by changes in projections as a result of current and expected operating environment. 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.

We use several accepted valuation methods, including Relief from Royalty, excess earnings and excess margin. The valuation methods utilize estimates of future sales, earnings growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates to determine the fair value of each intangible asset. We identified thirteen brands that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. The aggregate book value of the thirteen brands was $3.5 billion as of September 30, 2023, of which $1.8 billion is related to five recently acquired brands. We believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to not be impaired, but if plans to grow brand earnings and expand margin are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change then a brand or brands could become impaired in the future.

Note 6. Investments

Marketable Securities

Our reduction in ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (Nasdaq: "KDP") during the first quarter of 2023, to below 5% of the outstanding shares, resulted in a change of accounting for our KDP investment, from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values ("marketable securities") as we no longer have significant influence. These marketable securities were measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1).

On July 13, 2023, we sold 23 million shares, the remainder of our shares of KDP. We received proceeds of approximately $704 million.

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

On March 2, 2023, we sold 30 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership interest by 2.1 percentage points, from 5.3% to 3.2% of the total outstanding shares. We received proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion and recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million ($366 million after-tax) during the first quarter of 2023.

Pre-tax gains and losses for marketable securities are summarized below (in millions):


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

In the table above, loss/(gain) on marketable securities sold during the period reflects the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the equity securities at the beginning of the period or the date of the change of accounting for our investment in KDP, if later.

Equity Method Investments

Our equity method investments include, but are not limited to, our ownership interests in JDE Peet's (Euronext Amsterdam: "JDEP"), Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. Our ownership interests may change over time due to investee stock-based compensation arrangements, share issuances or other equity-related transactions. As of September 30, 2023, we owned 17.7%, 50.0% and 49.0%, respectively, of these companies'

Table of Contents

outstanding shares.

Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $3.1 billion as of September 30, 2023 and $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2022. The investment balance as of December 31, 2022 is inclusive of our investment in KDP. We recorded equity earnings of $10 million and cash dividends of $34 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, and equity earnings of $85 million and cash dividends of $48 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded equity earnings of $116 million and cash dividends of $136 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and equity earnings of $300 million and cash dividends of $169 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Based on the quoted closing prices as of September 30, 2023, the fair value of our publicly traded investment in JDEP was $2.4 billion, and there was no other than temporary impairment identified.

JDEP Transactions

On March 30, 2023, we issued options to sell shares of JDEP in tranches equivalent to approximately 7.7 million shares. These options were exercisable at their maturities which were between July 3, 2023 and September 29, 2023, with strike prices ranging from €26.10 to €28.71 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, options were exercised on 2.2 million shares, which reduced our ownership by 0.4 percentage point, from 18.1% to 17.7% of the total outstanding shares. We received cash proceeds of €57 million ($62 million) and recorded a loss of €3 million ($4 million) for these sales during the three months ended September 30, 2023. We continue to have board representation with two directors on JDEP's Board of Directors and have retained certain additional governance rights. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in JDEP under the equity method.

On April 3, 2023, we sold approximately 7.7 million shares of JDEP, which reduced our ownership interest by 1.6 percentage points, from 19.7% to 18.1% of the total outstanding shares. We received cash proceeds of €198 million ($217 million) and recorded a loss of €18 million ($19 million) on this sale during the second quarter of 2023.

On May 8, 2022, we sold approximately 18.6 million of our JDEP shares back to JDEP, which reduced our ownership interest by approximately 3 percentage points. We received cash proceeds of €500 million ($529 million) and recorded a loss of €8 million ($8 million) on this sale during the second quarter of 2022.

In 2021, we issued €300 million exchangeable bonds, which are redeemable at maturity in September 2024 at their principal amount in cash or, at our option, through the delivery of an equivalent number of JDEP’s ordinary shares based on an initial exchange price of €35.40 and, as the case may be, an additional amount in cash. If all bonds were redeemed in exchange for JDEP's shares, this would represent approximately 8.5 million shares or approximately 10% of our equity interest in JDEP as of September 30, 2023. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, for further details on this transaction.

Note 7. Restructuring Program

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion 2014-2018 restructuring program and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $600 million reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so the $5.7 billion program consisted of approximately $4.1 billion of restructuring program charges ($3.1 billion cash costs and $1.0 billion non-cash costs) and up to $1.6 billion of capital expenditures. On September 6, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2022, an increase of $1.3 billion in the program charges and an increase of $700 million in capital expenditures. On October 21, 2021, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2023, and on July 25, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a further extension of the restructuring program through December 31, 2024. The total $7.7 billion program now consists of $5.4 billion of program charges ($4.1 billion of cash costs and $1.3 billion of non-cash costs) and total capital expenditures of $2.3 billion to be incurred over the life of the program. The current restructuring program, as increased and extended by these actions, is now called the Simplify to Grow Program.

The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and implementation charges of $5.2 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the remainder of the program charges by year-end 2024.

We recorded restructuring charges of $48 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 within asset impairment and exit costs and benefit plan non-service income.

(3)We spent $12 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $12 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and spent $47 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $45 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in cash severance and related costs.

(4)We recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments, including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets, which totaled a charge of $8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a gain of $10 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and recognized a charge of $14 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and a gain of $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(5)At September 30, 2023, $111 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $40 million was recorded within other long-term liabilities.

Implementation Costs

Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our Simplify to Grow Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our 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 our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $23 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022, and we recorded implementation costs of $13 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $62 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

(1)We maintain senior unsecured revolving credit facilities for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. The revolving credit agreements include a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders' equity of at least $25.0 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses), the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles and earnings/(losses) recognized in connection with the ongoing application of any mark-to-market accounting for pensions and other retirement plans. At September 30, 2023, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $39.8 billion. The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security.

(2)On October 18, 2023, we terminated the credit facility due to expire on December 29, 2023.

(3)On March 31, 2022, we entered into a supplemental term loan credit facility that can be utilized for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. Under this agreement, we may draw up to a total of $2.0 billion in term loans from the facility. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the facility may not be reborrowed. On July 29, 2022, we drew down $2.0 billion in term loans, due July 29, 2025, bearing interest at a variable annual rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. We repaid $1.0 billion on March 3, 2023, $0.3 billion on April 3, 2023, and $0.7 billion on May 3, 2023 in term loans.

(4)On April 18, 2023, we entered into a credit facility secured by pledged deposits. Under this agreement, we may draw up to a total of $0.2 billion in loans from the facility. On April 25, 2023, we drew down $0.2 billion bearing a variable rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin.

Long-Term Debt

As of September 30, 2023, the Company reclassified the net carrying value of debt of $2.0 billion due within one year from long-term debt to current portion of long-term debt.

Fair Value of Our Debt

The fair value of our short-term borrowings reflects current market interest rates and approximates the amounts we have recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our term loans was determined using quoted prices for similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2 valuation data) and approximates the amounts we have recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 valuation data) for the publicly traded debt obligations.

(1)Net investment hedge derivative contracts consist of cross-currency interest rate swaps, forward contracts and options. We also designate some of our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to hedge a portion of our net investments in our non-U.S. operations. This debt is not reflected in the table above, but is included in long-term debt discussed in Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements. Both net investment hedge derivative contracts and non-U.S. dollar denominated debt acting as net investment hedges are also disclosed in the Derivative Volume table and the Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations section appearing later in this footnote.

(2)Equity method investment contracts consist of the bifurcated embedded derivative option that was a component of the September 20, 2021 €300 million exchangeable bonds issuance. Refer to Note 6, Investments.

We record derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our asset derivatives is recorded within other current assets and other assets and the fair value of our liability derivatives is recorded within other current liabilities and other liabilities.

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges.

Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency exchange forwards, options and swaps; commodity forwards and options; net investment hedge contracts; and interest rate swaps. Our currency exchange contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our bifurcated exchange options are valued, as derivative instrument liabilities, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires assumptions related to the market price of the underlying note and associated credit spread combined with the share of price, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility of the JDE Peet’s shares over the life of the option. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Our OTC derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

Cash Flow Hedges

Cash flow hedge activity, net of taxes, is recorded within accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses). Refer to Note 13, Reclassifications from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for further information on current period activity.

Based on current market conditions, we would expect to transfer gains of $58 million (net of taxes) for interest rate cash flow hedges to earnings during the next 12 months.

Cash Flow Hedge Coverage

As of September 30, 2023, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 2 years, 11 months.

Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations

Net investment hedge ("NIH") derivative contracts

We enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps, forwards and options to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. The aggregate notional value as of September 30, 2023 was $7.6 billion.

(1)In connection with the Clif Bar acquisition, we entered into a contingent consideration arrangement that may require us to pay additional consideration to the sellers for achieving certain net revenue, gross profit and EBITDA targets in 2025 and 2026 that exceed our base financial projections for the business implied in the upfront purchase price. The other contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value within long-term liabilities. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and recorded in other liabilities. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the liability include financial projections for net revenue, gross profit, and EBITDA, as well as discount and volatility rates. Fair value adjustments are primarily recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

(2)The other contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value, with $108 million and $102 million classified as other current liabilities at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and $88 million classified as long-term liabilities at December 31, 2022. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on Level 3 inputs, including management's latest estimate of forecasted future results. Other key assumptions included discount rate and volatility. Fair value adjustments are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

Employer Contributions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we contributed $3 million to our U.S. pension plans and $90 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. We make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local funding arrangements and statutory minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contributions are made to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability.

As of September 30, 2023, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $3 million to our U.S. plans and $29 million to our non-U.S. plans for the remainder of 2023. Our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

On July 11, 2019, we received an undiscounted withdrawal liability assessment from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund totaling $526 million requiring pro-rata monthly payments over 20 years. We began making monthly payments during the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the discounted long-term liability, we recorded accreted interest of $3 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $3 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, within interest and other expense, net. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining discounted withdrawal liability was $332 million, with $15 million recorded in other current liabilities and $317 million recorded in long-term other liabilities.

The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the probability of achieving the total shareholder return market condition. Compensation expense is recognized using the grant date fair values regardless of whether the market condition is achieved, so long as the requisite service has been provided.

Share Repurchase Program

Between 2013 and 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a total of $23.7 billion of our Common Stock and extended the program through December 31, 2023. Prior to January 1, 2023, we had repurchased approximately $22.0 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. Our Board of Directors approved a new program authorizing the repurchase of up to $6.0 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2025. This authorization, effective January 1, 2023, replaced our previous share repurchase program. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 9.6 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $68.55 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $659 million, all of which was paid during the period. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of September 30, 2023, we have approximately $5.3 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We routinely are involved in various pending or threatened legal proceedings, claims, disputes, regulatory matters and governmental inquiries, inspections or investigations arising in the ordinary course of or incidental to our business, including those noted below in this section. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending legal matters when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters we have not provided for that are reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome, management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss or such amounts have been determined to be immaterial. At present we believe that the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial fines, civil or criminal penalties, and other expenditures. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices or requiring other equitable remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position.

On April 1, 2015, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") filed a complaint against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court") related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the spin-off of Kraft Foods Group. The complaint alleged that Mondelēz Global: (1) manipulated or attempted to manipulate the wheat markets during the fall of 2011; (2) violated position limit levels for wheat futures; and (3) engaged in non-competitive trades. On May 13, 2022, the District Court approved a settlement agreement between the CFTC and Mondelēz Global. The terms of the settlement, which are available in the District Court’s docket, had an immaterial impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and did not include an admission by Mondelēz Global. Several class action complaints also were filed against Mondelēz Global in the District Court by investors who copied and expanded upon the CFTC allegations in a series of private claims for monetary damages as well as injunctive, declaratory, and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated as case number 15-cv-2937, Harry Ploss et al. v. Kraft Foods Group, Inc. and Mondelēz Global LLC. On January 3, 2020, the District Court granted plaintiffs' request to certify a class. In November 2022, the District Court adjourned the trial date it had previously set for November 30, 2022 and ordered the parties to brief Kraft’s motions to decertify the class and for summary judgment, which has been completed. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to bear any monetary penalties or other payments in connection with the class action.

As previously disclosed, 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. On January 28, 2021, the European Commission announced it had taken the next procedural step in its investigation and opened formal proceedings. We have been cooperating with the investigation and discussions with the European Commission are progressing in an effort to reach a negotiated, proportionate resolution in this matter. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) a liability of €300 million ($317 million as of September 30, 2023) within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as an estimate of the possible cost to resolve this matter. It is not possible to predict if our ongoing discussions will result in a negotiated resolution, or result in a negotiated resolution in a higher amount, or when we will have clarity on the ultimate outcome of these discussions. If our discussions do not result in a negotiated resolution, we expect that the European Commission will pursue proceedings against the Company, including the imposition of a fine, and we would defend against any allegations made in such proceedings. There is a possibility that the final liability could be materially higher than the amount accrued. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of the discussions and possible outcomes, any possible loss or range of loss different from the amount accrued is not reasonably estimable at this time.

Third-Party Guarantees

We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Tax Matters

We are a party to various tax matter proceedings incidental to our business. These proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could subject us to additional tax liabilities and could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial position.

Note 14. Income Taxes

As of the third quarter of 2023, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 25.9%. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws as well as both favorable and unfavorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our 2023 third quarter effective tax rate was 26.6% and includes those same impacts. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 27.1% was high due to a $127 million net tax expense incurred in connection with the KDP share sale during the first quarter (the earnings were reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes). Excluding this impact, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 24.4%. The 24.4% rate included a $151 million net tax expense related to pre-tax gains and losses on KDP marketable securities ($201 million net tax expense in Q1 and $50 million net tax benefit in Q2).

As of the third quarter of 2022, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 24.0%. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings were reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The estimated annual effective tax rate also considered the impact of the establishment of a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset arising from the anticipated 2022 Ukraine loss as well as the expense related to the buyout of the Clif Bar ESOP that was recorded to third quarter earnings before income taxes with no associated income tax benefit, as any tax impacts are included in the tax purchase price. Our 2022 third quarter effective tax rate of 28.8% was high due to the Clif Bar ESOP expense. Excluding this impact, our third quarter effective tax rate of 19.9% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $28 million. The discrete net tax benefit primarily consisted of a $43 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions, partially offset by a $13 million expense from U.S. state tax law changes. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 24.2% considered the unfavorable impacts of the Ukraine loss and the Clif Bar ESOP expense as well as favorable discrete net tax benefits of $92 million. The discrete net tax benefit primarily consisted of a $75 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions and a $43 million net benefit from the Chipita acquisition, partially offset by $22 million expense from tax law changes in various jurisdictions.

Note 15. Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were calculated as follows:

We exclude antidilutive Mondelēz International stock options and long-term incentive plan shares from our calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS. We excluded antidilutive stock options and performance share units of 2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Note 16. Segment Reporting

We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, as well as gum & candy, cheese & grocery and powdered beverages.

We manage our global business and report operating results through geographic units. We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.

Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments:

• Latin America

• AMEA

• Europe

• North America

We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe 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. We exclude these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Furthermore, we centrally manage benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Description of the Company

Our core business is making and selling chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, with additional businesses in adjacent, locally relevant categories including gum & candy, cheese & grocery and powdered beverages around the world.

We aim to be the global leader in snacking. Our strategy is to drive long-term growth by focusing on four strategic priorities: accelerating consumer-centric growth, driving operational excellence, creating a winning growth culture and scaling sustainable snacking. We believe the successful implementation of our strategic priorities and leveraging of our attractive global footprint, strong core of iconic global and local brands, marketing, sales, distribution and cost excellence capabilities, and top talent with a growth mindset, will drive consistent top- and bottom-line growth, enabling us to continue to create long-term value for our shareholders.

Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability

Macroeconomic environment

We continue to observe significant market and geopolitical uncertainty, increasing inflationary pressures, supply constraints and exchange rate volatility. As a result, we experienced significantly higher operating costs, including higher overall raw material, transportation, labor and energy costs that have continued to rise. Our overall outlook for future snacks revenue growth remains strong; however, we anticipate ongoing volatility. 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.

War in Ukraine

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 on a limited basis at our two manufacturing facilities, which were significantly damaged in March 2022. We continue to support our Ukraine employees, including paying salaries to those not yet able to return to work until full production returns. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation - War in Ukraine, to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and refer to Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results for additional information.

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 given we believe 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, and we continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries. During the third quarter of 2023, Ukraine generated 0.4% and Russia generated 2.7% of consolidated net revenue and during the third quarter of 2022, Ukraine generated 0.3% and Russia generated 4.6% of consolidated net revenue. Our Russian net revenues declined in the third quarter of 2023 due to the suspension of advertising as well as currency weakness. Despite the decrease in revenues, the profitability of our Russian business increased and contributed to the growth of our consolidated performance. We continue to reduce our activities in Russia and expect volume declines as we work to have the business operate on a stand-alone basis, with a self-sufficient supply chain before the end of the year. We cannot predict if the recent strength in our Russian business will continue in the future.

Our operations in Russia are subject to risks, including the temporary or permanent loss of assets or our ability to conduct business operations in Russia and the partial or full impairment of our Russian assets in future periods, or the termination of our business operations, based on actions taken by Russia, other parties or us. For more information, see the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including the risk entitled “The war in Ukraine has impacted and could continue to impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.”

Acquisitions and Divestitures

During 2022, we completed the following acquisitions to strategically complement and expand our existing portfolio:

•Ricolino, a confectionery business with products sold primarily in Mexico

•Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”), a leading U.S. maker of nutritious energy bars with organic ingredients

•Chipita Global S.A. ("Chipita"), a high-growth leader in the Central and Eastern European croissant and baked snacks category

Additionally in 2022, we announced our intention to divest our developed market gum and global Halls candy businesses and in the fourth quarter of 2022, we announced an agreement to sell the developed market gum business. On October 1, 2023, we completed the sale of our developed market gum business to Perfetti Van Melle Group, excluding the Portugal business which we retained pending regulatory approval. We completed the sale of the Portugal business to Perfetti Van Melle Group on October 23, 2023.

Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional details.

Investment Transactions

Keurig Dr Pepper Transactions

On March 2, 2023, we sold approximately 30 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership interest by 2.1 percentage points to 3.2%. We recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million (or $366 million after-tax) during the first quarter of 2023. Our reduction in ownership to below 5% eliminated our governance rights that had allowed us to exert substantial influence over KDP and resulted in a change of accounting from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values ("marketable securities") during the first quarter of 2023. On June 8, 2023, we sold approximately 23 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership to 1.6% of the total outstanding shares. We received proceeds of approximately $708 million. On July 13, 2023, we sold our remaining 23 million shares and received approximately $704 million in proceeds.

JDE Peet’s Transactions

On April 3, 2023, we sold approximately 7.7 million shares of JDEP, which reduced our ownership interest by 1.6 percentage points, to 18.1%. We received cash proceeds of €198 million ($217 million) and recorded a loss of €18 million ($19 million) on this sale during the three months ended September 30, 2023. On March 30, 2023, we 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 our ownership by 0.4 percentage point, from 18.1% to 17.7% of the total outstanding shares. We received cash proceeds of €57 million ($62 million) and recorded a loss of €3 million ($4 million) for these sales during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

For additional information, refer to Note 6, Investments and Note 9, Financial Instruments.

U.K. advertising and promotion ban

In the United Kingdom, a ban on specific types of TV and online advertising of food containing levels of fat, sugar or salt above specified thresholds as well as measures restricting multi buy promotions are expected to go into effect in October 2025. Restrictions on in-store placement of some of those products went into effect in October 2022. Although we are unable to estimate precisely the impact of the restrictions, they did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Taxes

We continue to monitor existing and potential future tax reform around the world. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Based on the guidance available thus far, we do not expect this legislation to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements but we will continue to evaluate it as additional guidance and clarification becomes available. We also continue to monitor countries’ progress toward enactment of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s model rules on a global minimum tax. While numerous countries have proposed new legislation in this area (and three countries have enacted it as of September 30, 2023), any new law

Table of Contents

is only expected to be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023. If broadly enacted, these laws could have a material effect on us.

Financial Outlook

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. We have provided reconciliations between our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in Non-GAAP Financial Measures, which appears later in this section.

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, 2022.

Summary of Results

•Net revenues increased 16.3% to $9.0 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and increased 17.1% to $26.7 billion in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, our net revenue growth continued to reflect strong demand for most of our snack category products in both our emerging and developed markets relative to 2022.

–Net revenue growth in the third quarter of 2023 was driven by higher net pricing, favorable volume/mix and incremental net revenues from our acquisitions of Ricolino and Clif Bar in 2022, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation.

–Net revenue growth in the first nine months of 2023 was driven by higher net pricing, incremental net revenues from our acquisitions of Clif Bar and Ricolino in 2022 and favorable volume/mix, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation and the impact of divestitures in 2022.

•Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 15.7% to $9.0 billion in the third quarter of 2023 and increased 17.0% to $26.6 billion in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to same periods in the prior year. During both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, Organic Net Revenue grew due to higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix. Organic Net Revenue is on a constant currency basis and excludes revenue from acquisitions and divestitures. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definition of Organic Net Revenue and Consolidated Results of Operations for our reconciliation with net revenues.

•Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International increased 84.6% to $0.72 in the third quarter of 2023 and increased 89.6% to $2.92 in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

–Diluted EPS increased in the third quarter of 2023, driven by lapping prior-year acquisition-related costs, an increase in Adjusted EPS, favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, a gain on marketable securities and lapping prior-year inventory step-up charges. These favorable items were partially offset by higher equity method investee items, higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, higher intangible asset impairment charges, lapping prior-year net earnings from divestitures and higher remeasurement loss of net monetary position.

–Diluted EPS increased during the first nine months of 2023, driven by a gain on marketable securities, an increase in Adjusted EPS, favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, higher net gain on equity method investment transactions, lapping prior-year acquisition-related costs, lapping prior-year incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine, lapping prior-year loss on debt extinguishment, lower intangible asset impairment charges and lapping prior-year inventory step-up charges. These favorable items were partially offset by higher equity method investee items, lower net earnings from divestitures, higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, higher divestiture-related costs and higher remeasurement loss of net monetary position.

•Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 13.9% to $0.82 in the third quarter of 2023 and increased 13.4% to $2.46 in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 16.7% to $0.84 in the third quarter of 2023 and increased 18.9% to $2.58 in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definition of Adjusted EPS and Consolidated Results of Operations for our reconciliation with diluted EPS.

–Adjusted EPS increased in the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by operating gains, lower interest expense, impact from acquisitions and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by higher taxes, unfavorable currency translation, lower benefit plan non-service income and lower equity method investment net earnings.

–Adjusted EPS increased in the first nine months of 2023, primarily driven by operating gains, impact from acquisitions, fewer shares outstanding and dividend income from marketable securities, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation, higher taxes, lower benefit plan non-service income and lower equity method investment net earnings.

Net revenue increase of 16.3% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 15.7% and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation. Overall, we continued to see strong demand for our snack category products across most regions. 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 2022 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2023. Volume/mix was favorable across all regions reflecting both improved product mix and volume gains. The November 1, 2022 acquisition of Ricolino added incremental net revenues of $153 million (constant currency basis). The August 1, 2022 acquisition of Clif Bar added incremental net revenues of $71 million through the one-year anniversary of the acquisition. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information. Unfavorable currency impacts decreased net revenues by $172 million, primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Russian ruble, Egyptian pound, Nigerian naira, Turkish lira, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee and Australian dollar, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, British pound sterling, Mexican peso and Brazilian real.

During the third quarter of 2023, we realized higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix, which was partially offset by increased input costs. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2022 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2023, was reflected across all regions. Overall, volume/mix benefited from improved product mix and continued strong demand for our snack category products across most regions. Favorable volume/mix was reflected across all regions. 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 in part due to unfavorable year-over-year currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials as well as higher sugar, energy and other ingredient costs, partially offset by lower dairy, edible oils, nuts, packaging and grains costs.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $135 million from the third quarter of 2022, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, the impact of acquisitions, higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, higher remeasurement loss of net monetary position, higher divestiture-related costs and lapping prior-year decrease in estimated allowances and reserves associated with incremental costs incurred due to the war in Ukraine, which were partially offset by lapping prior-year acquisition-related costs, a favorable currency impact related to expenses and lower implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow program. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $268 million from the third quarter of 2022. 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.

Unfavorable currency changes decreased operating income by $49 million due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Russian ruble, Egyptian pound, Turkish lira, Chinese yuan, Nigerian naira, Indian rupee, Argentinean peso and Australian dollar, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling, Mexican peso and Brazilian real.

Operating income margin increased from 8.7% in the third quarter of 2022 to 15.3% in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by lapping prior-year acquisition-related costs, favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities, higher Adjusted Operating Income margin and lapping prior-year inventory step-up charges, partially offset by higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, higher divestiture-related costs and lapping prior-year decrease in estimated allowances and reserves associated with incremental costs incurred due to the war in Ukraine. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 16.1% for the third quarter of 2022 to 16.7% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity, overhead cost leverage and favorable product mix, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Net revenue increase of 17.1% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 17.0% and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation and the impact of divestitures. Overall, we continued to see strong demand for our snack category products across most regions. 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 2022 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first nine months of 2023. Favorable volume/mix was driven by AMEA, North America and Latin America reflecting both improved product mix and volume gains, while volume/mix was flat in Europe. The November 1, 2022 acquisition of Ricolino added incremental net revenues of $446 million (constant currency basis). The August 1, 2022 acquisition of Clif Bar added incremental net revenues of $529 million through the one-year anniversary of the acquisition. Unfavorable currency impacts decreased net revenues by $920 million, due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Russian ruble, Egyptian pound, Indian rupee, Turkish lira, Chinese yuan, Australian dollar, South African rand, Nigerian naira, British pound sterling and Pakistan rupee, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the Mexican peso, euro, Brazilian real and Polish zloty. The impact of our 2022 divestitures resulted in a year-over-year reduction in net revenues of $22 million. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $490 million from the first nine months of 2022, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, the impact of acquisitions, higher divestiture-related costs, higher remeasurement loss of net monetary position and higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, which were partially offset by lapping prior-year acquisition-related costs, a favorable currency impact related to expenses, lower implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow program and lapping prior-year incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $575 million from the first nine months of 2022. 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.

Unfavorable currency changes decreased operating income by $183 million primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies, including the Russian ruble, Argentinean peso, Egyptian pound, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Turkish lira, Australian dollar, South African rand and British pound sterling, partially offset by the strength of a few currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso and euro.

Operating income margin increased from 11.8% in the first nine months of 2022 to 16.1% in the first nine months of 2023. The increase in operating income margin was driven primarily by the favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities, lapping prior-year acquisition-related costs, lapping prior-year incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine, lower intangible asset impairment charges, higher Adjusted Operating Income margin, lower costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow program and lapping prior-year inventory step-up charges, partially offset by higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, higher divestiture-related costs and higher remeasurement loss of net monetary position. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 16.4% for the first nine months of 2022 to 16.6% for the first nine months of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by higher net pricing, overhead cost leverage, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity and favorable product mix, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Results of Operations by Reportable Segment

Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments:

•Latin America

•AMEA

•Europe

•North America

We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.

We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. See Note 16, Segment Reporting, for additional information on our segments and Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results earlier in this section for items affecting our segment operating results.

Three Months Ended September 30:

Net revenues increased $392 million (42.9%), due to higher net pricing (31.5 pp), the impact of an acquisition (16.8 pp) and favorable volume/mix (3.6 pp), partially offset by unfavorable currency (8.8 pp) and the impact of divestitures (0.2 pp). Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected across all categories, primarily in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. The November 1, 2022 acquisition of Ricolino added incremental net revenues of $153 million (constant currency basis) in the third quarter of 2023. Favorable volume/mix reflected continued strong demand for most of our snack category products. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in gum, candy, chocolate and cheese & grocery, partially offset by declines in refreshment beverages and biscuits & baked snacks. Unfavorable currency impacts were primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to a few currencies in the region, primarily the Argentinean peso, partially offset by the strength of most currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso and Brazilian real. The impact of divestitures resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $1 million.

Segment operating income increased $44 million (39.3%), primarily due to higher net pricing, the impact of our Ricolino acquisition, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity, favorable currency and favorable volume/mix. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses, higher advertising and consumer promotion costs, higher remeasurement loss on net monetary position and higher acquisition integration costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30:

Net revenues increased $1,129 million (43.2%), due to higher net pricing (32.7 pp), the impact of an acquisition (17.2 pp) and favorable volume/mix (4.5 pp), partially offset by unfavorable currency (10.0 pp) and the impact of divestitures (1.2 pp). Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected across all categories, primarily in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. The November 1, 2022 acquisition of Ricolino added incremental net revenues of $446 million (constant currency basis) in the first nine months of 2023. Favorable volume/mix reflected strong volume growth as the region continued to see increased demand for most of our snack category products. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in gum, biscuits & baked snacks, candy and cheese & grocery, partially offset by declines in refreshment beverages and chocolate. Unfavorable currency impacts were primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to a few currencies in the region, primarily the Argentinean peso and Colombian peso, partially offset by the strength of most currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso and Brazilian real. The impact of divestitures resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $22 million.

Segment operating income increased $124 million (40.7%), primarily due to higher net pricing, the impact of our Ricolino acquisition, favorable volume/mix and lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses, higher advertising and consumer promotion costs, higher acquisition integration costs and higher remeasurement loss on net monetary position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that cash from operations, our revolving credit facilities, short-term borrowings and our authorized long-term financing will continue to provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and future payments of our contractual, tax and benefit plan obligations and payments for acquisitions, share repurchases and quarterly dividends. We expect to continue to utilize our commercial paper program and international credit lines as needed. We continually evaluate long-term debt issuances to meet our short- and longer-term funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Our investment in JDE Peet's also provides us additional 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 operations in Europe and related effects from the war in Ukraine. 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.

Our most significant ongoing short-term cash requirements relate primarily to funding operations (including expenditures for raw materials, labor, manufacturing and distribution, trade and promotions, advertising and marketing, tax liabilities, benefit plan obligations and lease expenses) as well as periodic expenditures for acquisitions, shareholder returns (such as dividend payments and share repurchases), property, plant and equipment and any significant one-time non-operating items.

Long-term cash requirements primarily relate to funding long-term debt repayments (refer to Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements), our U.S. tax reform transition tax liability and deferred taxes (refer to Note 16, Income Taxes, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022), our long-term benefit plan obligations (refer to Note 10, Benefit Plans, and Note 11, Benefit Plans, in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022) and commodity-related purchase commitments and derivative contracts (refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments).

We generally fund short- and long-term cash requirements with cash from operating activities as well as cash proceeds from short- and long-term debt financing (refer to Debt below). We generally do not use equity to fund our ongoing obligations.

Cash Flow

We believe our ability to generate substantial cash from operating activities and readily access capital markets and secure financing at competitive rates are key strengths and give us significant flexibility to meet our short- and long-term financial commitments. Our cash flow activity is noted below:


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,150	$	2,516
Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities	$	1,786	$	(3,410)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(5,074)	$	(297)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash-basis net earnings combined with favorable year-over-year working capital requirements. This is largely a result of business growth and acquisitions completed during 2022.

Net Cash (Used in)/Provided by Investing Activities

The improvement in net cash provided by/used in investing activities was largely driven by lapping prior-year cash consideration paid for the Chipita and Clif Bar acquisitions (refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures) and higher proceeds from the current year KDP and JDEP share sales compared to the prior year JDEP share sale (refer to Note 6, Investments), partially offset by lapping higher proceeds from the settlement and replacement of net investment hedge derivative contracts. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities, implement new product manufacturing and support productivity initiatives. We expect 2023 capital expenditures to be up to $1.2 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our Simplify to Grow

Table of Contents

Program and for funding our strategic priorities. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures with cash from operations.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower debt proceeds, partially offset by lower share repurchases in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same prior-year period.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $1,581 million in the first nine months of 2023 and $1,457 million in the first nine months of 2022. The third quarter 2023 dividend of $0.425 per share, declared on July 27, 2023 for shareholders of record as of September 29, 2023, was paid on October 13, 2023. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

We anticipate that the 2023 distributions will be characterized as dividends under U.S. federal income tax rules. The final determination will be made on an IRS Form 1099–DIV issued in early 2024.

Guarantees

As discussed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, we enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover the long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Guarantees do not have, and we do not expect them to have, a material effect on our liquidity.

Debt

The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of current and expected business requirements, market conditions and other factors. As such, we may issue commercial paper or secure other forms of financing throughout the year to meet short-term working capital or other financing needs.

At the July 2022 meeting, the Board of Directors approved a new $2 billion long-term financing authorization that replaced the prior long-term financing authorization of $7 billion. As of September 30, 2023, $1.5 billion of the long-term financing authorization remained available.

Our total debt was $20.0 billion as of September 30, 2023 and $22.9 billion as of December 31, 2022. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.41 at September 30, 2023 and 0.46 at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 8.0 years. Our average daily commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $2.7 billion in the first nine months of 2023 and $1.4 billion in the first nine months of 2022.

One of our subsidiaries, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“MIHN”), has outstanding debt. The operations held by MIHN generated approximately 71.5% (or $19.1 billion) of the $26.7 billion of consolidated net revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The operations held by MIHN represented approximately 82.9% (or $23.7 billion) of the $28.6 billion of net assets as of September 30, 2023.

Refer to Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, for more information on our debt and debt covenants.

Commodity Trends

We regularly monitor worldwide supply, commodity cost and currency trends so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. During the first nine months of 2023, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were higher energy, sugar, dairy, grains, packaging, edible oils, cocoa, and other ingredient costs, as well as unfavorable year-over-year currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials.

A number of external factors such as the current macroeconomic environment, including global inflation, effects of the war in Ukraine, climate and weather conditions, commodity, transportation and labor market conditions, currency fluctuations and the effects of governmental agricultural or other programs affect the cost and availability of raw

Table of Contents

materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We address higher commodity costs and currency impacts primarily through hedging, higher pricing and manufacturing and overhead cost control. We use hedging techniques to limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials; however, we may not be able to fully hedge against commodity cost changes, such as dairy, where there is a limited ability to hedge, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. Due to competitive or market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors, our pricing actions may also lag commodity cost changes temporarily.

As a result of international supply chain, transportation and labor market disruptions and generally higher commodity, transportation and labor costs in the first nine months of 2023, we expect price volatility and a higher aggregate cost environment to continue. While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available.

Significant Accounting Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our significant accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. See also Note 1, Basis of Presentation, in this report.

In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed the non-GAAP adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP definitions below. 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. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures below, and we also discuss our underlying U.S. GAAP results throughout our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q.

Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When our definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis (1).

Table of Contents

•“Organic Net Revenue” is defined as net revenues (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures (2) and currency rate fluctuations (3). We believe that Organic net revenue reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provides improved comparability of results. We also evaluate Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and developed markets, and these underlying measures are also reconciled to U.S. GAAP above.

•Our emerging markets include our Latin America region in its entirety; the AMEA region, excluding Australia, New Zealand and Japan; and the following countries from the Europe region: Russia, Ukraine, Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, the Baltics and the East Adriatic countries.

•Our developed markets include the entire North America region, the Europe region excluding the countries included in the emerging markets definition, and Australia, New Zealand and Japan from the AMEA region.

•“Adjusted Operating Income” is defined as operating income (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) excluding the impacts of the Simplify to Grow Program (4); gains or losses (including non-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture (2) or acquisition gains or losses, divestiture-related costs (5), acquisition-related costs (6), and acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments (7); inventory step-up charges (8); the operating results of divestitures (2); remeasurement of net monetary position (9); mark-to-market impacts from commodity, forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts (10); impact from resolution of tax matters (11); 2017 malware incident net recoveries; incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine (12); impact from the European Commission legal matter (13); and impact from pension participation changes (14). We also present “Adjusted Operating Income margin,” which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income. We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis (3). We believe these measures provide improved comparability of underlying operating results.

•“Adjusted EPS” is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) from continuing operations excluding the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Operating Income definition as well as losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses; gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans; net earnings from divestitures (2); mark-to-market unrealized gains or losses and realized gains or losses from marketable securities (15); initial impacts from enacted tax law changes (16); and gains or losses on equity method investment transactions. Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, our equity method investment net earnings exclude our proportionate share of our investees’ significant operating and non-operating items (15). We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis (3). We believe Adjusted EPS provides improved comparability of underlying operating results.

(1)When items no longer impact our current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, we remove these items from our non-GAAP definitions. In the first quarter of 2023, we added to the non-GAAP definition for divestitures the inclusion of changes from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values (“marketable securities”; refer to footnote (2) below). In addition, we added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of gains or losses associated with marketable securities (see footnote (15) below).

(2)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 we record our share of JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any JDE Peet’s ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within our non-GAAP results the following quarter.

(3)Constant currency operating results are calculated 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.

(4)Non-GAAP adjustments related to the Simplify to Grow Program reflect costs incurred that relate to the objectives of our program to transform our supply chain network and organizational structure. Costs that do not meet the program objectives are not reflected in the non-GAAP adjustments.

(5)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) of our divestitures as defined in footnote (2), also includes costs incurred associated with our publicly announced processes to sell businesses. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.

(6)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 ESOP shares. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.

(7)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

Table of Contents

previously booked for earn-outs related to acquisitions that do not relate to employee compensation expense. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.

(8)In the third quarter of 2022, we began to exclude the one-time inventory step-up charges associated with acquired companies related to the fair market valuation of the acquired inventory. We exclude this item to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.

(9)In connection with our applying highly inflationary accounting (refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation) for Argentina (beginning in the third quarter of 2018) and Türkiye (beginning in the second quarter of 2022), we exclude the related remeasurement gains or losses related to remeasuring net monetary assets or liabilities denominated in the local currency to the U.S. dollar during the periods presented.

(10)We exclude unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts from our 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 our operating results. Since we purchase commodity and forecasted currency transaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, we make this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. We exclude equity method investment transaction derivative contract settlements as they represent protection of value for future divestitures.

(11)Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies – Tax Matters, in this report, and Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies –Tax Matters, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(12)In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and we stopped our production and closed our facilities in Ukraine for a period of time due to damage incurred to our facilities during the invasion. We began to incur incremental costs directly related to the war including asset impairments, such as property and inventory losses, higher expected allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable and committed compensation. We have isolated and exclude these costs and related impacts as well as subsequent recoveries from our operating results to facilitate evaluation and comparisons of our ongoing results. Incremental costs related to increasing operations in other primarily European facilities are not included with these costs.

(13)In the fourth quarter of 2022, we began to exclude the impact from the 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. On January 28, 2021, the European Commission announced it had taken the next procedural step in its investigation and opened formal proceedings. We have been cooperating with the investigation and are currently engaged in discussions with the European Commission in an effort to reach a negotiated, proportionate resolution to this matter. As of December 31. 2022, we recorded an estimate of the possible cost to resolve this matter. Due to the unique nature of this matter, we believe it to be infrequent and unusual and therefore exclude it to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies.

(14)The impact from pension participation changes represents the charges incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans and other changes in employee group pension plan participation. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect our ongoing pension obligations. See Note 10, Benefit Plans, for more information on the multiemployer pension plan withdrawal.

(15)In the first quarter of 2023, we began to exclude mark-to-market unrealized gains or losses, as well as realized gains or losses, associated with our marketable securities from our non-GAAP earnings measures. These marketable securities gains or losses are not indicative of underlying operations and are excluded to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.

(16)We have excluded the initial impacts from 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. We exclude initial impacts from enacted tax law changes from our Adjusted EPS as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under the enacted tax law changes.

(17)We have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ significant operating and non-operating items such as acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring program costs and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes, in order to provide investors with a comparable view of our performance across periods. Although we have shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with our ownership interests in our equity method investees and review the underlying operating results and significant operating and non-operating items each reporting period, we do not have direct control over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses. Our use of equity method investment net earnings on an adjusted basis is not intended to imply that we have any such control. Our U.S. GAAP “diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations” includes all of the investees’ significant operating and non-operating items.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Because non-GAAP financial measures vary among companies, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measures. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items that have an impact on our U.S. GAAP reported results. The best way this limitation can be addressed is by evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported results and carefully evaluating the tables that reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q, which can be found above under Consolidated Results of Operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As we operate globally, we are primarily exposed to currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results.

We principally utilize derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. For additional information on our derivative activity and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our currency exchange, commodity price and interest rate exposures, see Note 9, Financial Instruments.

Many of our non-U.S. subsidiaries operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates create volatility in our reported results as we translate the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of these subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting purposes. The translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated balance sheets and statements of earnings of our subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting generally results in a cumulative translation adjustment to other comprehensive income within equity. A stronger U.S. dollar relative to other functional currencies adversely affects our consolidated earnings and net assets while a weaker U.S. dollar benefits our consolidated earnings and net assets. While we hedge significant forecasted currency exchange transactions as well as certain net assets of non-U.S. operations and other currency impacts, we cannot fully predict or eliminate volatility arising from changes in currency exchange rates on our consolidated financial results. See Consolidated Results of Operations and Results of Operations by Reportable Segment under Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results for currency exchange effects on our financial results during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Throughout our discussion and analysis of results, we isolate currency impacts and supplementally provide net revenues, operating income and diluted earnings per share on a constant currency basis.

We also continually monitor the market for commodities that we use in our products. Input costs may fluctuate widely due to international demand, weather conditions, government policy and regulation and the macroeconomic environment. Refer to Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability above for updates on recent supply chain, transportation, labor and other disruptions that are increasing operating costs and impacting our results. To manage input cost volatility and inflation, we enter into forward purchase agreements, options and other derivative financial instruments. We also pursue productivity and cost saving measures and take pricing actions when necessary to mitigate the impact of higher input costs on earnings.

We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt as well as current and expected interest rates in the markets in which we raise capital. Our primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates, corporate credit spreads and commercial paper rates. We periodically use interest rate swaps and forward interest rate contracts to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt based on current and projected market conditions. For more information on our debt activity, see Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.

For additional information on our currency, debt and hedging strategies, policies and practices on an ongoing basis, also refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

Since the program inception on January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, we have repurchased $659 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $5.3 billion share repurchase authorization remaining. See related information in Note 11, Stock Plans.

(3)As of January 1, 2023, our share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act. Any excise tax incurred on share repurchases is recognized as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired in the consolidated statements of equity.

Item 5. Other Information.

Our directors and executive officers may from time to time enter into plans or other arrangements for the purchase or sale of our shares that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5–1(c) or may represent a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement under the Exchange Act. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, no such plans or other arrangements were adopted or terminated.
