The Kraft Heinz Company
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In management’s opinion, these interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary to fairly state our results for the periods presented.
We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December in each calendar year. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to years and quarters contained herein pertain to our fiscal years and fiscal quarters. Our 2024 fiscal year is scheduled to be a 52-week period ending on December 28, 2024, and our 2023 fiscal year was a 52-week period that ended on December 30, 2023.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 30, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include The Kraft Heinz Company and all of our controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.
Reportable Segments
In the first quarter of 2024, our internal reporting structure and reportable segments changed. We divided our International segment into three operating segments — Europe and Pacific Developed Markets (“EPDM” or “International Developed Markets”), West and East Emerging Markets (“WEEM”), and Asia Emerging Markets (“AEM”) — to enable enhanced focus on the different strategies required for each of these regions as part of our long-term strategic plan. Subsequently, we manage our operating results through four operating segments. We have two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America and International Developed Markets. Our remaining operating segments, consisting of WEEM and AEM, are combined and disclosed as Emerging Markets.
Use of Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, reserves, and expenses. These accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgments. We evaluate our policy elections, estimates, and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. We believe these estimates to be reasonable given the current facts available. We adjust our policy elections, estimates, and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Market volatility, including foreign currency exchange rates, increases the uncertainty inherent in our estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. If actual amounts differ from estimates, we include the revisions in our consolidated results of operations in the period the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
We made reclassifications and adjustments to certain previously reported financial information to conform to our current period presentation.
6

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents include term deposits with banks, money market funds, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates the carrying amount. Cash and cash equivalents that are legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage are classified in other current assets or other non-current assets, as applicable, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 30, 2024, we had $2 million of restricted cash in other non-current assets. At December 30, 2023, we had restricted cash recorded in other current assets of $3 million and $1 million of restricted cash in other non-current assets. Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $1,628 million at March 30, 2024 and $1,404 million at December 30, 2023.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
There were no significant changes to our accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023.
Note 3. New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures:
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 to improve segment disclosure requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, through enhancing disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance requires entities to provide significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and other segment expenses included in each reported measure of segment profitability. This ASU also enhances interim segment reporting requirements by aligning interim disclosures with information that must be disclosed annually in accordance with ASC 280. This ASU will be effective beginning in 2024 for annual reports and in 2025 for quarterly reports. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with the significant segment expense and other segment item amounts disclosed based on categories identified in the period of adoption. We are still evaluating the impacts this ASU will have on our notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures:
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to improve income tax disclosure requirements under ASC 740, Income Taxes. The guidance requires entities to provide separate information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and about income taxes paid. This ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and will impact our 2025 annual report. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. While the standard will require additional disclosures related to the Company’s income taxes, we do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Divestitures
Russia Infant Transaction:
On March 11, 2024, we closed and finalized the sale of our infant nutrition business in Russia to a third party for total cash consideration of approximately $25 million (the “Russia Infant Transaction”). As a result of the Russia Infant Transaction, we recognized an insignificant pre-tax gain in other expense/(income) on our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 30, 2024.
Papua New Guinea Transaction:
On February 5, 2024, we closed and finalized the sale of 100% of the equity interests in our Papua New Guinea subsidiary, Hugo Canning Company Limited, to a third party for total cash consideration of approximately $22 million, which is to be paid incrementally over two years following the transaction closing date (the “Papua New Guinea Transaction”). As a result of the Papua New Guinea Transaction, we recognized a pre-tax loss on sale of business of approximately $80 million in other expense/(income) on our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 30, 2024, of which approximately $41 million relates to the release of accumulated foreign currency losses.
Deal Costs:
We incurred insignificant deal costs for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and the three months ended April 1, 2023 related to our divestitures. We recognized these deal costs in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).

Note 5. Restructuring Activities
See our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 for additional information on our restructuring activities.
Restructuring Activities:
We have restructuring programs globally, which are focused primarily on streamlining our organizational design. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, we eliminated approximately 50 positions related to these programs. As of March 30, 2024, we expect to eliminate approximately 100 additional positions during the remainder of 2024. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, restructuring activities resulted in income of $3 million and included a net benefit of $6 million from severance and employee benefit costs, $2 million of other restructuring costs, and $1 million of other exit costs. Restructuring activities resulted in income of $8 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023.
Our net liability balance for restructuring project costs that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP was (in millions):
Severance and Employee Benefit CostsOther Exit CostsTotal
Balance at December 30, 2023$23 $14 $37 
Charges/(credits)(6)1 (5)
Cash payments(4)(1)(5)
Balance at March 30, 2024$13 $14 $27 
We expect the majority of the liability for severance and employee benefit costs as of March 30, 2024 to be paid in the second quarter of 2024. The liability for other exit costs primarily relates to lease obligations. The cash impact of these obligations will continue for the duration of the lease terms, which expire between 2024 and 2031.

Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill:
As described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, in the first quarter of 2024, we divided our International segment into three operating segments — EPDM, WEEM, and AEM. While this reorganization resulted in a change to our operating segments, it did not impact the existing composition of our reporting units that formerly comprised the goodwill balance of our International segment — Northern Europe, Continental Europe, Latin America (“LATAM”), and Asia — and, therefore, was not indicative of an impairment trigger. We have reflected the impact of this segment change in all historical periods presented.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, were (in millions):

Balance at March 30, 2024$27,233 $2,644 $513 $30,390 
(a)    Emerging Markets represents the aggregation of our WEEM and AEM operating segments.
As of March 30, 2024, we maintain 11 reporting units, seven of which comprise our goodwill balance. These seven reporting units had an aggregate goodwill carrying value of $30.4 billion at March 30, 2024.
Accumulated impairment losses to goodwill were $11.8 billion as of March 30, 2024 and as of December 30, 2023
No events occurred during the three months ended March 30, 2024 or the three months ended April 1, 2023 that indicated it was more likely than not that our goodwill was impaired.
Additional Goodwill Considerations
Our reporting units that were impaired in 2023 were written down to their respective fair values resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the applicable impairment test dates. As of our 2023 annual impairment test, our reporting units with 20% or less fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $30.1 billion and included Taste, Meals, and Away From Home (“TMA”); Fresh, Beverages, and Desserts (“FBD”); Northern Europe; Continental Europe; Canada and North America Coffee (“CNAC”); and LATAM. Our Asia reporting unit had between 20-50% fair value over carrying amount with an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $309 million as of our 2023 annual impairment test date. Accordingly, our reporting units that had 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount as of our 2023 annual impairment test have a heightened risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future. Although the remaining reporting unit had more than 20% excess fair value over carrying amount as of our 2023 annual impairment test, this amount is also susceptible to impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors significantly change in the future.
9

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows (including net sales, cost of products sold, SG&A, depreciation and amortization, working capital, and capital expenditures), income tax rates, discount rates, growth rates, and other market factors. Our current expectations also include certain assumptions that could be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet our pricing expectations in relation to inflation. If current expectations of future growth rates and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, market capitalization, income tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or inflation, change, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to our long-term operating plans, then one or more of our reporting units might become impaired in the future. Additionally, any decisions to divest certain non-strategic assets has led and could in the future lead to goodwill impairments.
As of the first day of the second quarter 2024, certain organizational changes occurred that impacted our reporting unit composition within our North America segment. Our four North America reporting units — TMA, FBD, CNAC, and Other North America — were reorganized into the six reporting units: Taste Elevation, Ready Meals and Snacking (“TMS”), Hydration & Desserts (“HD”), Meat & Cheese (“M&C”), Away from Home & Kraft Heinz Ingredients (“AFH”), CNAC, and Other North America. We have determined these changes represent a change in composition for the TMA and FBD reporting units as they have been reorganized into TMS, HD, M&C, and AFH reporting units and will require an interim impairment test (or transition test) in the second quarter of 2024.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets:
Changes in the carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consisted of trademarks, were (in millions):
Balance at December 30, 2023$38,502 
Translation adjustments and other(62)
Balance at March 30, 2024$38,440 
Our indefinite-lived intangible asset balance primarily consists of a number of individual brands, which had an aggregate carrying amount of $38.4 billion at March 30, 2024.
No events occurred during the three months ended March 30, 2024 or the three months ended April 1, 2023 that indicated it was more likely than not that any brand was impaired.
Additional Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Considerations
Our brands that were impaired in 2023 were written down to their respective fair values resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the applicable impairment test dates. As of the latest impairment test, brands with 20% or less fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount after impairment of $18.7 billion, brands with between 20-50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount of $4.2 billion, and brands that had over 50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount of $15.7 billion. Accordingly, these and other individual brands that had 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount as of our 2023 annual impairment test have a heightened risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future. Although the remaining brands had more than 20% excess fair value over carrying amount as of our 2023 annual impairment test, these amounts are also susceptible to impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors significantly change in the future.
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual brands requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows, income tax considerations, discount rates, growth rates, royalty rates, contributory asset charges, and other market factors. Our current expectations also include certain assumptions that could be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet our pricing expectations in relation to inflation. If current expectations of future growth rates and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, market capitalization, income tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or inflation, change, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to our long-term operating plans, then one or more of our brands might become impaired in the future. Additionally, any decisions to divest certain non-strategic assets has led and could in the future lead to intangible asset impairments.

Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was $64 million for the three months March 30, 2024 and $62 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023. Aside from amortization expense, the change in definite-lived intangible assets from December 30, 2023 to March 30, 2024 primarily related to the impacts of foreign currency.
We estimate that amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets will be approximately $260 million in 2024, $260 million in each of the following three years, and $250 million in 2028 and 2029.
Note 8. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and non-U.S. income taxes. We operate in an international environment; accordingly, the consolidated effective tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in various locations and the applicable tax rates. Additionally, the calculation of the percentage point impact of goodwill impairment and other items on the effective tax rate is affected by income/(loss) before income taxes. Further, small movements in tax rates due to a change in tax law or a change in tax rates that cause us to revalue our deferred tax balances produce volatility in our effective tax rate. Our quarterly income tax provision is determined based on our estimated full year effective tax rate, adjusted for tax attributable to infrequent or unusual items, which are recognized on a discrete period basis in the income tax provision for the period in which they occur.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2024 was an expense of 21.9% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. This impact was partially offset by unfavorable items, primarily from establishing a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the U.S. capital loss carryover generated from our divestiture activities.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 1, 2023 was an expense of 20.3% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions.
The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate for the three month period was driven by certain net discrete items, primarily due to establishing a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the U.S. capital loss carryover generated from our divestiture activities, as well as from a less favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income.
Other Income Tax Matters:
We are currently under examination for income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the years 2018 through 2022. In the third quarter of 2023, we received two Notices of Proposed Adjustment (the “NOPAs”) relating to transfer pricing with our foreign subsidiaries. The NOPAs propose an increase to our U.S. taxable income that could result in additional U.S. federal income tax expense and liability of approximately $200 million for 2018 and approximately $210 million for 2019, excluding interest, and assert penalties of approximately $85 million for each of 2018 and 2019. We strongly disagree with the IRS’s positions, believe that our tax positions are well documented and properly supported, and intend to vigorously contest the positions taken by the IRS and pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies. Therefore, we have not recorded any reserves related to this issue. We continue to maintain the same operating model and transfer pricing methodology with our foreign subsidiaries that was in place for the years 2018 and 2019, and the IRS began its audit of 2020, 2021, and 2022 during the first quarter of 2024. We believe our income tax reserves are appropriate for all open tax years and that final adjudication of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. However, the ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain, and if we are required to pay the IRS additional U.S. taxes, interest, and/or potential penalties, our results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

Our derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements that allow for the offset of assets and liabilities in the event of default or early termination of the contract. We elect to record the gross assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If the derivative financial instruments had been netted on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, the asset and liability positions each would have been reduced by $156 million at March 30, 2024 and $130 million at December 30, 2023. We had posted collateral related to commodity derivative margin requirements of $15 million at March 30, 2024 and $41 million at December 30, 2023, which were included in prepaid expenses on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity future and options contracts and are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity swaps, foreign exchange forwards, options, and swaps, and cross-currency swaps. Commodity swaps are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign exchange forwards and swaps are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign exchange options are valued using an income approach based on a Black-Scholes-Merton formula. This formula uses present value techniques and reflects the time value and intrinsic value based on observable market rates. Cross-currency swaps are valued based on observable market spot and swap rates.
We did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities in any period presented.
Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.
Net Investment Hedging:
At March 30, 2024, we had the following items designated as net investment hedges:
•Non-derivative foreign-currency denominated debt with principal amounts of €100 million and £400 million; and
•Cross-currency contracts with notional amounts of C$1.4 billion ($1.0 billion), €2.3 billion ($2.5 billion), and JPY9.6 billion ($68 million).
We periodically use non-derivative instruments such as non-U.S. dollar financing transactions or non-U.S. dollar assets or liabilities, including intercompany loans, to hedge the exposure of changes in underlying foreign-currency denominated subsidiary net assets, and they are designated as net investment hedges. At March 30, 2024, we had euro intercompany loans with an aggregate notional amount of $782 million designated as net investment hedges.
The component of the gains and losses on our net investment in these designated foreign operations, driven by changes in foreign exchange rates, are economically offset by fair value movements on the effective portion of our cross-currency contracts and foreign exchange contracts and remeasurements of our foreign-currency denominated debt.
Cash Flow Hedge Coverage:
At March 30, 2024, we had entered into foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges for periods not exceeding the next 22 months and into cross-currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges for periods not exceeding the next 50 months.
Deferred Hedging Gains and Losses on Cash Flow Hedges:
Based on our valuation at March 30, 2024 and assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities, we expect transfers to net income/(loss) of the existing losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/(losses) on cross-currency cash flow hedges and interest rate cash flow hedges during the next 12 months to be insignificant. Additionally, we expect transfers to net income/(loss) of the existing gains reported in other comprehensive income/(losses) on foreign-currency cash flow hedges during the next 12 months to be insignificant.

Note 13. Financing Arrangements
Transfers of Financial Assets:
We have a nonrecourse accounts receivable factoring program whereby certain eligible receivables are sold to third party financial institutions in exchange for cash. The program provides us with an additional means for managing liquidity. Under the terms of the arrangement, we act as the collecting agent on behalf of the financial institutions to collect amounts due from customers for the receivables sold. We account for the transfer of receivables as a true sale at the point control is transferred through derecognition of the receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. There were no receivables sold under this accounts receivable factoring program during the three months ended March 30, 2024, and no amounts outstanding as of March 30, 2024. Receivables sold under this accounts receivable factoring program were $100 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and there were no amounts outstanding as of December 30, 2023. There were no incremental costs of factoring receivables under this arrangement for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and an insignificant amount for the three months ended April 1, 2023. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash flows from operating activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
As collecting agent on the sold receivables, we had no cash collected that was not yet remitted to the third party financial institution as of March 30, 2024 or December 30, 2023.We had $68 million of cash collected that was not yet remitted to the third party financial institutions as of April 1, 2023. This obligation is reported within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2023 and within cash flows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended April 1, 2023.
19

Trade Payables Programs:
In order to manage our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. Our current payment terms with our suppliers, which we deem to be commercially reasonable, generally range from 0 to 250 days. We also maintain agreements with third party administrators that allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from us, and, at the sole discretion of the supplier, sell one or more of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions related to these programs. We pledged no assets in connection with our trade payable programs. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. All amounts due to participating suppliers are paid to the third party on the original invoice due dates, regardless of whether a particular invoice was sold. Supplier participation in these agreements is voluntary. We estimate that the amounts outstanding under these programs were $0.8 billion at March 30, 2024 and $0.8 billion at December 30, 2023. The amounts were included in trade payables on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 14. Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inquiries, inspections, or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business. While we cannot predict with certainty the results of Legal Matters in which we are currently involved or may in the future be involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve the Legal Matters that are currently pending will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Class Actions and Stockholder Derivative Actions:
Certain of The Kraft Heinz Company’s current and former officers and directors and 3G Capital, Inc. and several of its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “3G Entities”) are named as defendants in two stockholder derivative actions pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Datnoff, et al. v. Behring, et al., which was filed on May 6, 2022, and Felicetti, et al. v. Behring, et al., which was filed on March 6, 2023. The complaints allege state law claims and contend that The Kraft Heinz Company’s Board of Directors wrongfully refused plaintiffs’ demands to pursue legal action against the named defendants. Specifically, the complaints allege that certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by purportedly making materially misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s financial performance and the impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets. The complaints further allege that the 3G Entities and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in insider trading and misappropriating the Company’s material, non-public information, or aided and abetted such alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaints seek relief against the defendants, principally in the form of damages, disgorgement of all profits obtained from the alleged insider trading, contribution and indemnification, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. We intend to vigorously defend against these lawsuits; however, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any, due to the early stage of the proceedings.
Certain of The Kraft Heinz Company’s current and former officers and directors and the 3G Entities were also named as defendants in a consolidated stockholder derivative action, In re Kraft Heinz Company Derivative Litigation, which was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The consolidated amended complaint, which was filed on April 27, 2020, alleged state law claims, contending that the 3G Entities were controlling stockholders who owed fiduciary duties to the Company, and that they breached those duties by allegedly engaging in insider trading and misappropriating the Company’s material, non-public information. The complaint further alleged that certain of The Kraft Heinz Company’s current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by purportedly making materially misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s financial performance and the impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets, and by supposedly approving or allowing the 3G Entities’ alleged insider trading. The complaint sought relief against the defendants in the form of damages, disgorgement of all profits obtained from the alleged insider trading, contribution and indemnification, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint, which motion the Delaware Chancery Court granted in an order dated December 15, 2021. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on January 13, 2022, and the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal with prejudice of the consolidated amended complaint in an order dated August 1, 2022. One of the plaintiffs in said dismissed derivative litigation subsequently filed a new complaint, Erste Asset Management v. Hees, et al., against certain current and former officers and directors of The Kraft Heinz Company on November 28, 2023 in the Delaware Court of Chancery, seeking to reinstate the plaintiff’s previously-dismissed claims and recover attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the dismissed litigation on the basis of alleged newly discovered evidence. Specifically, the plaintiff alleges the 3G Entities caused the Company to make false and misleading public disclosures regarding the independence of two directors of The Kraft Heinz Company, one of whose independence plaintiff contends formed a basis for the court’s prior dismissal of the consolidated amended complaint. We intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit; however, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any, due to the early stage of the proceedings.

Environmental Actions:
Since March 2024, the Company has been engaged in ongoing discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice, joined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”) and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, concerning alleged violations of the Clean Water Act related to a Company facility in Kendallville, Indiana. Previously, the Company entered into an Administrative Order on Consent with the U.S. EPA that requires the Company to implement a compliance plan to address related alleged violations of the Clean Water Act related to the facility in Kendallville, Indiana. While we cannot predict with certainty the resolution of these discussions, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Debt
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through redemptions, tender offers, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancing, exchange offers, open market or privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or otherwise.
Borrowing Arrangements:
See Note 16, Debt, to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 for information on our borrowing arrangements.
Our long-term debt contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 30, 2024.
Debt Issuances:
In the first quarter of 2024, Kraft Heinz Foods Company (“KHFC”), our 100% owned operating subsidiary, issued 550 million euro aggregate principal amount of 3.500% senior notes due March 2029 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by The Kraft Heinz Company as to payment of principal, premium, and interest on a senior unsecured basis. We expect to use the net proceeds from the 2024 Notes for general corporate purposes, including to fund the repayment of our 550 million euro senior notes due May 2024.
Debt Issuance Costs:
Debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes were insignificant.
Fair Value of Debt:
At March 30, 2024, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $19.7 billion as compared with a carrying value of $20.5 billion. At December 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $19.6 billion as compared with a carrying value of $20.0 billion. Our short-term debt had a carrying value that approximated its fair value at March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023. We determined the fair value of our long-term debt using Level 2 inputs. Fair values are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments.

Note 16. Segment Reporting
In the first quarter of 2024, our internal reporting and reportable segments changed. We divided our International segment into three operating segments — EPDM, WEEM, and AEM — to enable enhanced focus on the different strategies required for each of these regions as part of our long-term strategic plan. Subsequently, we manage our operating results through four operating segments. We have two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America and International Developed Markets. Our remaining operating segments, consisting of WEEM and AEM, are combined and disclosed as Emerging Markets. We have reflected this segment change in all historical periods presented.
As part of the segment reorganization, management reallocated certain corporate expenses previously reported within our International segment to general corporate expenses. This reflects management’s approach to centrally manage these expenses. We have reflected this reallocation in all historical periods presented.
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates segment performance based on several factors, including net sales and Segment Adjusted Operating Income. In the first quarter of 2024, following changes to our segments, our CODM reevaluated and changed the primary measure utilized to evaluate segment profitability from Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Segment Adjusted Operating Income. This change is expected to allow our CODM to better evaluate segment performance in line with our long-term strategic plan. Segment Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income/(loss) excluding, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized gains/(losses) on commodity hedges (the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in general corporate expenses until realized; once realized, the gains and losses are recorded in the applicable segment’s operating results), impairment losses, and certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters. Emerging Markets represents the aggregation of our WEEM and AEM operating segments. Adjusted Operating Income for WEEM and AEM is the measure reported to our chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to these operating segments and assessing their performance. Segment Adjusted Operating Income is a financial measure that assists our CODM in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that our CODM believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Our CODM also uses Segment Adjusted Operating Income to allocate resources. We have reflected this change from Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Segment Adjusted Operating Income in all historical periods presented.
Our CODM does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources. Therefore, we do not disclose assets by segment.

In the first quarter of 2024, we changed the way we manage our product portfolio to align with our future growth strategy. As of March 30, 2024, we manage our product portfolio through eight consumer-driven product platforms: Taste Elevation, Easy Ready Meals, Substantial Snacking, Desserts, Hydration, Cheese, Coffee, and Meats. A platform is a lens created for the portfolio based on a grouping of consumer needs. The platforms help us to manage and organize our business effectively by providing insight into our various product categories and brands.
Taste Elevation includes condiments, sauces, dressings, and spreads. Easy Ready Meals includes Kraft Mac & Cheese varieties, frozen potato products, and other frozen meals. Substantial Snacking includes Lunchables meal kits, frozen snacks, and pickles. Desserts includes dry packaged desserts, refrigerated ready to eat desserts, and other dessert toppings. Hydration includes ready to drink beverages, powdered beverages, and liquid concentrates. Cheese includes American sliced and recipe cheeses. Coffee includes mainstream coffee, coffee pods, and premium coffee. Meats includes cold cuts, bacon, and hot dogs.
23

Each platform is assigned a role within our business to help inform our resource allocation and investment decisions, which are made at the operating segment level. These roles include: Accelerate, Protect, and Balance. Our Accelerate role contains platforms that are expected to have high growth potential, generate higher gross margins, and are in markets in which we have higher market share. Our Protect role contains platforms that are expected to have moderate growth potential, tend to generate higher gross margins, and are in markets in which we have higher market share. Our Balance role contains platforms that include commodity-heavy categories with relatively flat growth potential but help us to maintain our brand footprint.
We have reflected this change to our platforms in all historical periods presented.

See Note 11, Financial Instruments, for information related to our derivative impacts.
24

Other expense/(income) was $47 million of expense for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $35 million of income for the three months ended April 1, 2023. This change was primarily driven by a $80 million net loss on the sale of businesses in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a $1 million net loss on the sale of business in the first quarter of 2023, a $39 million net loss on derivative activities in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a $8 million net gain on derivative activities in the first quarter of 2023, which was partially offset by a $27 million net foreign exchange gain in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a $6 million net foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of 2023, and $16 million in interest income in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a $6 million in interest income in the first quarter of 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
Objective:
The following discussion provides an analysis of our financial condition and results of operations from management's perspective and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our objective is to also provide discussion of material events and uncertainties known to management that are reasonably likely to cause reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results or of future financial condition and to offer information that provides an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Description of the Company:
We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including condiments and sauces, cheese and dairy, meals, meats, refreshment beverages, coffee, and other grocery products throughout the world.
In the first quarter of 2024, our internal reporting structure and reportable segments changed. We divided our International segment into three operating segments — Europe and Pacific Developed Markets (“EPDM” or “International Developed Markets”), West and East Emerging Markets (“WEEM”), and Asia Emerging Markets (“AEM”) — to enable enhanced focus on the different strategies required for each of these regions as part of our long-term strategic plan. Subsequently, we manage our operating results through four operating segments. We have two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America and International Developed Markets. Our remaining operating segments, consisting of WEEM and AEM, are combined and disclosed as Emerging Markets. We have reflected this change in all historical periods presented.
See Note 16, Segment Reporting, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for our financial information by segment.
Acquisitions and Divestitures:
In the first quarter of 2024, we closed the sale of the Russia Infant Transaction and the Papua New Guinea Transaction. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on divestiture activities.
Conflict Between Russia and Ukraine:
For the three months ended March 30, 2024 and the year ended December 30, 2023, approximately 1% of consolidated net sales, operating income, and Adjusted Operating Income were generated from our business in Russia. As of March 30, 2024, less than 1% of consolidated total assets were located in Russia and we had approximately 800 employees in Russia. We have no operations or employees in Ukraine and insignificant net sales through distributors. We will continue to monitor the impact that this conflict has on our business; however, through the first quarter of 2024, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results
Inflation and Supply Chain Impacts:
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we experienced moderate increases to supply chain costs due to inflationary pressures as compared to the prior year period. We expect inflation to moderate through the remainder of 2024 and to be lower than we experienced in 2023. While these costs have a negative impact on our results of operations, we have taken measures to mitigate the impact of this inflation through pricing actions, efficiency gains, and hedging strategies. However, there has been, and we expect that there could continue to be, a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost inflation is incurred. Additionally, the pricing actions we have taken have, in some instances, negatively impacted, and could continue to negatively impact, our market share.
Results of Operations
We disclose in this report certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures assist management in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. For additional information and reconciliations to the most closely comparable financial measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP see Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Three Months Ended March 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2023:
Net sales decreased 1.2% to $6.4 billion for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $6.5 billion for the three months ended April 1, 2023, including the unfavorable impacts of foreign currency (0.6 pp) and acquisitions and divestitures (0.1 pp). Organic Net Sales decreased 0.5% to $6.4 billion for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $6.4 billion for the three months ended April 1, 2023, primarily driven by unfavorable volume/mix (3.2 pp) which more than offset higher pricing (2.7 pp). Pricing was higher in each segment. Volume/mix in each of North America and International Developed Markets was unfavorable, while volume/mix in Emerging Markets was favorable.

(a)    Adjusted Operating Income is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section at the end of this item.
Three Months Ended March 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2023:
Operating income/(loss) increased 4.7% to income of $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to income of $1.2 billion for the three months ended April 1, 2023, primarily due to higher pricing and the impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses on commodity hedges. These increases to operating income/(loss) were partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix; increased SG&A due, in part, to investments in advertising, technology, and research and development; and higher employee compensation related costs.
Net income/(loss) decreased 3.9% to income of $804 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to income of $837 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023. This decrease was due to unfavorable changes in other expense/(income) and higher tax expense, which more than offset the favorable changes in operating income/(loss) factors discussed above. Interest expense was flat compared to the prior year period.
•Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2024 was an expense of 21.9% on pre-tax income, compared to an expense of 20.3% for the three months ended April 1, 2023. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate for the three month period was driven by certain net discrete items, primarily due to establishing a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the U.S. capital loss carryover generated from our divestiture activities, as well as from a less favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income.
27

•Other expense/(income) was $47 million of expense for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $35 million of income for the three months ended April 1, 2023. This change was primarily driven by a $80 million net loss on the sale of businesses in the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted Operating Income increased 1.7% to $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended April 1, 2023, primarily driven by higher pricing, which more than offset unfavorable volume/mix; increased SG&A due, in part, to investments in advertising, technology, and research and development; increased fixed cost of products sold, particularly for employee compensation related expenses; and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency (0.5 pp).

Adjusted EPS increased 1.5% to $0.69 for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $0.68 for the three months ended April 1, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher Adjusted Operating Income and the favorable effect of common stock repurchases, which more than offset higher taxes on adjusted earnings.

Results of Operations by Segment
We manage our operating results through four operating segments. We have two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America and International Developed Markets. Our remaining operating segments, consisting of WEEM and AEM, are combined and disclosed as Emerging Markets.
Management evaluates segment performance based on several factors, including net sales, Organic Net Sales, and Segment Adjusted Operating Income. In the first quarter of 2024, certain measures utilized by management to evaluate segment performance changed, including a change from Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Segment Adjusted Operating Income in order to drive a stronger connection to our long-term strategic plan. Segment Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income/(loss) excluding, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized gains/(losses) on commodity hedges (the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in general corporate expenses until realized; once realized, the gains and losses are recorded in the applicable segment’s operating results), impairment losses, and certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters. Segment Adjusted Operating Income for Emerging Markets, which represents the aggregation of our WEEM and AEM operating segments, is defined and presented consistently with the Segment Adjusted Operating Income of our reportable segments — North America and International Developed Markets. Segment Adjusted Operating Income is a financial measure that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Management also uses Segment Adjusted Operating Income to allocate resources. We have reflected this change from Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Segment Adjusted Operating Income in all historical periods presented.
Under highly inflationary accounting, the financial statements of a subsidiary are remeasured into our reporting currency (U.S. dollars) based on the legally available exchange rate at which we expect to settle the underlying transactions. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in other expense/(income) on our condensed consolidated statement of income, as nonmonetary currency devaluation, rather than accumulated other comprehensive income/(losses) on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023, for additional information. We apply highly inflationary accounting to the results of our subsidiaries in Venezuela, Argentina, and Turkey, which are all included in Emerging Markets.

Net sales decreased 1.2% to $4.8 billion for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $4.9 billion for the three months ended April 1, 2023. Organic Net Sales decreased 1.2% to $4.8 billion for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $4.9 billion for the three months ended April 1, 2023, due to unfavorable volume/mix (3.7 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (2.5 pp). Higher pricing was primarily driven by increases to mitigate higher input costs, particularly in the first half of 2023. Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily due to elasticity impacts from pricing actions and due, in part, to the February 2023 reduction of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) benefits.

Segment Adjusted Operating Income increased 0.4% to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended April 1, 2023, primarily driven by higher pricing taken predominantly in the first half of 2023. Further, we experienced reduced logistics costs and procurement costs, which were both due, in part, to our efficiency initiatives. These impacts more than offset unfavorable volume/mix; increased fixed cost of products sold, particularly for employee compensation related expenses and facility maintenance costs; as well as increased SG&A, driven by investments in advertising, research and development, and technology.

Three Months Ended March 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2023:
Net sales decreased 0.6% to $855 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $860 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023, including the favorable impacts of foreign currency (0.7 pp). Organic Net Sales decreased 1.3% to $850 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $860 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023, driven by unfavorable volume/mix (3.8 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (2.5 pp). Higher pricing was taken in our Australia, New Zealand, and Japan (“ANJ”) and Continental Europe regions primarily to mitigate higher input costs. Unfavorable volume/mix within our ANJ region was due, in part, to an inventory reduction by a regional customer. Further, unfavorable volume/mix within our Continental Europe region was primarily due to elasticity impacts from pricing actions. These unfavorable volume/mix impacts more than offset favorable volume/mix within our Northern Europe region.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income increased 27.7% to $136 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $107 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023, primarily driven by higher pricing, lapping the prior year business disruption caused by Cyclone Gabrielle within our ANJ region, and the favorable impact of foreign currency (3.8 pp). These favorable impacts to Segment Adjusted Operating Income more than offset unfavorable volume/mix and increased advertising expense.

Three Months Ended March 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2023:
Net sales decreased 2.1% to $728 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $744 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023, including the unfavorable impacts of foreign currency (6.3 pp) and acquisitions and divestitures (1.3 pp). Organic Net Sales increased 5.5% to $734 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $696 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023, driven by higher pricing (4.1 pp) and favorable volume/mix (1.4 pp). Higher pricing included increases across all regions taken to mitigate higher input costs. Favorable volume/mix within our Eastern Europe and Asia regions more than offset unfavorable volume/mix within our LATAM region, which was primarily due to the lapping of shipment timing in the prior year quarter within Brazil.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income decreased 18.4% to $82 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $101 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023, primarily driven by higher SG&A as a result of increased employee compensation costs and advertising expense supporting our investments in our go-to-market strategy; higher supply chain costs,

due, in part, for logistics in Brazil; and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency (9.0 pp). These unfavorable impacts to Segment Adjusted Operating Income more than offset higher pricing and favorable volume/mix.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that cash generated from our operating activities, commercial paper programs, and our senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, repayments of long-term debt, future contractual obligations, payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends, planned capital expenditures, restructuring expenditures, and contributions to our postemployment benefit plans for the next 12 months. An additional potential source of liquidity is access to capital markets. We intend to use our cash on hand and commercial paper programs for daily funding requirements.
Cash Flow Activity for the Three Months Ended March 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 1, 2023:
Net Cash Provided by/Used for Operating Activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities was $771 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $486 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by lower cash outflows in the current year period for inventories, primarily related to stock rebuilding in the prior year, partially offset by higher cash outflows for variable compensation in the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period.
Net Cash Provided by/Used for Investing Activities:
Net cash used for investing activities was $287 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $264 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023. This change was primarily driven by higher capital expenditures in the current year period. We expect 2024 capital expenditures to be approximately $1.1 billion compared to the 2023 capital expenditures of $1.0 billion. Our 2024 capital expenditures are expected to be primarily driven by capital investments focused on generating growth, including cost improvement, capacity expansion, digital, and automation projects, as well as capital investments in maintenance and technology.
Net Cash Provided by/Used for Financing Activities:
Net cash used for financing activities was $239 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 compared to $439 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023. This change was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes, partially offset by higher common stock repurchases, due, in part, to our share repurchase program. See Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt for additional information on our debt issuances.
Cash Held by International Subsidiaries:
Of the $1.6 billion cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 30, 2024, $820 million was held by international subsidiaries.
Subsequent to January 1, 2018, we consider the unremitted earnings of certain international subsidiaries that impose local country taxes on dividends to be indefinitely reinvested. For those undistributed earnings considered to be indefinitely reinvested, our intent is to reinvest these funds in our international operations, and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the accumulated earnings to fund our U.S. cash requirements. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for local country withholding taxes that would be owed, if repatriated, related to our 2018 through 2024 accumulated earnings of certain international subsidiaries is approximately $70 million.
Our undistributed historic earnings in foreign subsidiaries through December 31, 2017 are currently not considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Our deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed historical earnings was insignificant at March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 and relates to local withholding taxes that will be owed when this cash is distributed.
Trade Payables Programs:
In order to manage our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. We estimate that the amounts outstanding under these programs were $0.8 billion at March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023. See Note 13, Financing Arrangements, in Item 1, Financial Statement, for additional information on our trade payables programs.
Borrowing Arrangements:
From time to time, we obtain funding through our commercial paper programs. We had no commercial paper outstanding at March 30, 2024, at December 30, 2023, or during the three months ended March 30, 2024 or April 1, 2023.
Our Senior Credit Facility provides for a revolving commitment of $4.0 billion through July 8, 2028. Subject to certain conditions, we may increase the amount of revolving commitments and/or add tranches of term loans in a combined aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion.
32

No amounts were drawn on our Senior Credit Facility at March 30, 2024 or December 30, 2023, or during the three months ended March 30, 2024 or April 1, 2023.
Our credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants that are typical for these types of facilities and could, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, restrict our ability to access our Senior Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 30, 2024.
Long-Term Debt:
Our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $20.5 billion at March 30, 2024 and $20.0 billion at December 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the issuance of the 2024 Notes.
We have aggregate principal amounts of senior notes of approximately 550 million euros maturing in May 2024.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through redemptions, tender offers, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancing, exchange offers, open market or privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or otherwise.
Our long-term debt contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 30, 2024.
See Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on our long-term debt activity and Note 16, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 for additional information on our borrowing arrangements and long-term debt.
Equity and Dividends:
We paid dividends on our common stock of $486 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and $491 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock, which is payable on June 28, 2024 to stockholders of record on June 6, 2024.
The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.
On November 27, 2023, we announced that the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to $3.0 billion, exclusive of fees, of the Company’s common stock through December 26, 2026. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and the program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or other means. We purchased approximately 4 million shares during the three months ended March 30, 2024 and had approximately $2.6 billion remaining authorization under the share repurchase program as of March 30, 2024. The share repurchase program is in addition to our share repurchases to offset the dilutive effect of equity-based compensation.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations:
In the first quarter of 2024, we issued the 2024 Notes, which mature in 2029. See Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information. There were no other material changes to our aggregate contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023.
Supplemental Guarantor Information:
The Kraft Heinz Company (as the “Parent Guarantor”) fully and unconditionally guarantees all the senior unsecured registered notes (collectively, the “KHFC Senior Notes”) issued by KHFC, our 100% owned operating subsidiary (the “Guarantee”). See Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, and Note 16, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 for additional descriptions of these guarantees.
The payment of the principal, interest and premium, when applicable, on the KHFC Senior Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent Guarantor, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable indenture. None of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries guarantee the KHFC Senior Notes.
The Guarantee is the Parent Guarantor’s senior unsecured obligation and is: (i) pari passu in right of payment with all of the Parent Guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to all of the Parent Guarantor’s future subordinated indebtedness; (iii) effectively subordinated to all of the Parent Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets secured by that indebtedness; and (iv) effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries.
33

The KHFC Senior Notes are obligations exclusively of KHFC and the Parent Guarantor and not of any of the Parent Guarantor’s other subsidiaries. Substantially all of the Parent Guarantor’s operations are conducted through its subsidiaries. The Parent Guarantor’s other subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the KHFC Senior Notes or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, or other payments. Except to the extent the Parent Guarantor is a creditor with recognized claims against its subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of its subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over its claims (and therefore the claims of its creditors, including holders of the KHFC Senior Notes). Consequently, the KHFC Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that it may in the future acquire or establish. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor will terminate and be of no further force or effect in the following circumstances: (i) (a) KHFC’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or, except in the case of a guarantee of any direct or indirect parent of KHFC, covenant defeasance option in accordance with the applicable indenture, or KHFC’s obligations under the applicable indenture have been discharged in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture or (b) as specified in a supplemental indenture to the applicable indenture; and (ii) the Parent Guarantor has delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the applicable indenture have been complied with. The Guarantee is limited by its terms to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
The following tables present summarized financial information for the Parent Guarantor and KHFC (as subsidiary issuer of the KHFC Senior Notes) (together, the “Obligor Group”), on a combined basis after the elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Guarantor and subsidiary issuer and investments in any subsidiary that is a non-guarantor.

Commodity Trends
We purchase and use large quantities of commodities, including dairy products, meats, tomatoes, sugar and other sweeteners, edible oils, coffee beans, wheat products, other fruits and vegetables, eggs, and corn products to manufacture our products. In addition, we purchase and use significant quantities of resins, fiberboard, and cardboard to package our products, and we use electricity, diesel fuel, and natural gas in the manufacturing and distribution of our products. We continuously monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities.
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we experienced lower commodity costs primarily for edible oils, dairy products, eggs, corn, and meats while costs for coffee and sugars increased. We manage commodity cost volatility primarily through pricing and risk management strategies including utilizing a range of commodity hedging techniques in an effort to limit the impact of price fluctuations on many of our principal raw materials. However, we do not fully hedge against changes in commodity prices, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. As a result of these risk management strategies, our commodity costs may not immediately correlate with market price trends.
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 for additional information on how we manage commodity costs.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023.
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. See Item 7, 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 30, 2023 for a discussion of our other critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3, New Accounting Standards, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
Contingencies
See Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for a discussion of our contingencies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures we provide in this report should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented Organic Net Sales, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EPS, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as net sales, net income/(loss), diluted EPS, or other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. We believe that Organic Net Sales, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EPS provide important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis.
Management believes that presenting our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our results. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.
35

Organic Net Sales is defined as net sales excluding, when they occur, the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures, and a 53rd week of shipments. We calculate the impact of currency on net sales by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year’s exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which we calculate the previous year’s results using the current year’s exchange rate.
Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income excluding, when they occur, the impacts restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized gains/(losses) on commodity hedges (the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in general corporate expenses until realized; once realized, the gains and losses are recorded in the applicable segment’s operating results), impairment losses, and certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS excluding, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, losses/(gains) on the sale of a business, other losses/(gains) related to acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., tax and hedging impacts), nonmonetary currency devaluation (e.g., remeasurement gains and losses), debt prepayment and extinguishment (benefit)/costs, and certain significant discrete income tax items (e.g., U.S. and non-U.S. tax reform), and including, when they occur, adjustments to reflect preferred stock dividend payments on an accrual basis.
