Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability

As we pass the one-year anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020, our main priority continues to be the safety of our employees and helping maintain the global food supply.

As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues, our main priority continues to be the safety of our employees and helping maintain the global food supply.

Together with our employees, customers, suppliers and other partners, we are working to emerge from the pandemic stronger.

During 2020, we experienced a significant increase in demand and revenue growth in certain markets as consumers increased their food purchases for in-home consumption.

Results were particularly strong in modern trade (such as large grocery supermarkets and retail chains), e-commerce and especially for categories such as biscuits.

Results were particularly strong in modern trade (such as large grocery supermarkets and retail chains), digital commerce and especially for categories such as biscuits.

However, other parts of our business were negatively affected by mandated lockdowns and other related restrictions.

This was especially so during the second quarter of 2020 for some of our emerging markets due to store closures (particularly in our Latin America region as well as parts of our AMEA region) that have a greater concentration of traditional trade (such as small family-run stores), our world travel retail (such as international duty-free stores), our foodservice businesses as well as in categories like gum and candy, which are more traditionally purchased and consumed out of home.

The negative impacts experienced in the second quarter of 2020 subsided in the second half of 2020, as demand grew in both developed and emerging markets and a number of our key markets returned to higher growth.

During the first quarter of 2021, many of the trends we saw in late 2020 continued.

While we continued to see increased demand for most of our snack category products in both our emerging and developed markets, lower out-of-home consumption continued to negatively impact sales of our gum and candy products and our foodservice business, and the sharp reduction in global travel due to the pandemic continued to negatively impact our world travel retail business.

Overall, since the beginning of the global pandemic in the first quarter of 2020, temporary disruptions experienced in operations were not material to our consolidated results.

We discuss these and other impacts of COVID-19 below.

This was especially so during the second quarter of 2020 for some of our emerging markets due to store closures, particularly in our Latin America region as well as parts of our AMEA region that have a greater concentration of traditional trade (such as small family-run stores), our world travel retail (such as international duty-free stores), and our foodservice businesses as well as in categories like gum and candy, which are more traditionally purchased and consumed out of home.

The negative impacts experienced in the second quarter of 2020 began to subside in the second half of 2020, as demand grew in both developed and emerging markets and a number of our key markets returned to higher growth;

however, our gum and candy, world travel retail and foodservice businesses as well as parts of our traditional trade business in parts of emerging markets continued to be negatively affected by the ongoing pandemic.

During the first half of 2021, many of the trends we saw in late 2020 were still in place.

We continued to see increased demand for most of our snack category products in both our emerging and developed markets relative to 2020;

however, revenue from parts of our business were not yet back to pre-pandemic levels.

In the second quarter of 2021, net revenue growth was 12.4% and Organic Net Revenue growth was 6.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2020 when the most significant negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected parts of our business, particularly with more traditional trade and gum and candy sales as well as our foodservice and world travel retail businesses.

While in the second quarter of 2021, we experienced double-digit revenue growth in gum and candy as well as significant growth in other areas such as foodservice and world travel retail, revenues in these businesses were not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

Our outlook for future snacks revenue growth remains strong, but as the pandemic continues, we anticipate some volatility in revenues until snacks consumption stabilizes to a more normal growth level.

In addition to tracking new developments, we continue to monitor ongoing impacts from the pandemic.

To date, disruptions we experienced in operations due to the pandemic have been temporary and not material to our consolidated results.

We discuss these and other ongoing impacts of COVID-19 below.

Summary of Results

• Net revenues increased 7.9% to $7.2 billion in the first three months of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

In the first quarter of 2021, within our developed markets, demand for our biscuits and chocolate products grew, though at a more moderate rate than in the same prior-year period, as we continued to see increased food purchases for in-home consumption due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In our emerging markets, the initial negative impacts we experienced from COVID-19 have subsided, resulting in a return to strong revenue growth across most of our key markets.

However, the sharp reduction in global travel due to the pandemic continued to negatively impact our world travel retail business, and lower out-of-home consumption continued to negatively impact sales of our gum and candy products and our foodservice business.

Our net revenue growth was positively impacted by favorable currency translation, higher net pricing, incremental net revenues from acquisitions and favorable volume/mix.

• Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 3.8% to $7.0 billion in the first three months of 2021 as compared to same period in the prior year.

During the first three months of 2021, Organic Net Revenue grew due to higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix.

• Net revenues increased 12.4% to $6.6 billion in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 10.0% to $13.9 billion in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Our net revenue growth in the second quarter and first six months of 2021 reflects a year-over-year partial recovery from the most significant impacts of the pandemic to date.

In developed markets, increased food purchases for in-home consumption continued to drive net revenue growth, though revenue declined in some markets as they lapped the prior-year periods' strong volume growth resulting from increased consumer demand last year due to the pandemic.

In our emerging markets, the initial negative impacts from the pandemic that we experienced in the prior-year periods began to subside in many markets, though some markets were still challenged.

In addition, our out-of-home consumption businesses, which experienced significant negative impacts from the pandemic in the prior-year periods, began to recover, particularly gum and candy and our foodservice and world travel retail businesses.

Net revenue increased in the second quarter of 2021 and the first six months of 2021, driven by the significant impact of favorable currency translation, favorable volume/mix, higher net pricing and incremental net revenues from our acquisitions.

Refer to our Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results below for additional information.

• Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 6.2% to $6.3 billion in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 5.0% to $13.2 billion in the first six months of 2021 as compared to same period in the prior year.

Organic Net Revenue increased in the second quarter of 2021 and the first six months of 2021 due to favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing.

We use Organic Net Revenue as it provides improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying operating results (see the definition of Organic Net Revenue and our reconciliation with net revenues within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section).

• Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International increased 33.3% to $0.68 in the first three months of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

The increase was primarily driven by favorable year-over-year mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, an increase in Adjusted EPS and lapping the prior-year loss on interest rate swaps, partially offset by a loss on debt extinguishment, higher Simplify to Grow program costs and lapping the prior-year gain on equity method investment transactions.

• Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 16.7% to $0.77 in the first three months of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

(On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 10.6% to $0.73.) The increase in Adjusted EPS was driven by gains in operating activities, favorable currency translation and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by lower equity method investment

earnings and higher taxes primarily due to changes in our mix of earnings.

• Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International increased 100.0% to $0.76 in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 61.8% to $1.44 in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

– Diluted EPS increased in the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by lapping prior-year costs associated with the JDE Peet's transaction, a higher gain this quarter on equity method investment transactions, an increase in Adjusted EPS, lower intangible asset impairment charges and favorable year-over-year mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives.

These factors were partially offset by unfavorable initial impacts from enacted tax law changes, higher Simplify to Grow program costs and the negative impact from pension participation changes.

These factors were partially offset by a loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses as we refinanced to lower-cost long-term debt in the first quarter of 2021, unfavorable initial impacts from enacted tax law changes, higher Simplify to Grow program costs and the negative impact from pension participation changes.

• Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 8.2% to $0.66 in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 14.1% to $1.46 in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 1.6% to $0.62 in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 8.6% to $1.39 in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

– Adjusted EPS increased in the second quarter of 2021, driven by operating activities, favorable currency translation, fewer shares outstanding and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher taxes primarily due to a lower net benefit from non-recurring discrete tax items.

– Adjusted EPS increased in the first six months of 2021, driven by operating activities, favorable currency translation, lower interest expense, fewer shares outstanding, higher equity method investment earnings and higher benefit plan non-service income, partially offset by higher taxes due to changes in our mix of earnings and a lower net benefit from non-recurring discrete tax items.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures.

Overall, our net revenues continued to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In developed markets, net revenues increased as demand for our biscuits and chocolate products grew, though at a more moderate rate than in the prior-year period, reflecting continued increased food purchases for in-home consumption.

Incremental net revenues from acquisitions and favorable currency translation also added to our developed markets revenue growth in the quarter.

In emerging markets, the negative initial impacts we experienced from COVID-19 have subsided, resulting in a return to strong revenue growth across most of our key markets though some markets were still challenged, particularly those with significant gum and candy portfolios.

In addition, unfavorable currency translation tempered emerging markets growth in the quarter.

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 2020 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2021.

Favorable volume/mix in AMEA and Europe, driven by strong volume gains, was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in North America and Latin America.

In developed markets, increased food purchases for in-home consumption continued to drive net revenue growth, though some markets declined as they lapped the prior-year period's strong volume growth resulting from increased consumer demand last year due to the pandemic.

In emerging markets, the negative initial impacts we experienced from COVID-19 began to subside, resulting in strong revenue growth across most of our key markets, though some markets were still challenged.

In addition, our sales of our gum and candy products grew as out-of-home consumption began to recover, as did our world travel business as the sharp reduction in global travel due to the pandemic began to subside.

Incremental net revenues from acquisitions and favorable currency translation also added to revenue growth in the quarter.

Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing.

Favorable volume/mix in Latin America, Europe and AMEA, driven by strong volume gains, was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in North America.

Higher net pricing in all regions was due to the benefit of carryover pricing from 2020 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first six months of 2021.

Favorable currency impacts increased net revenues by $311 million, due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S.

dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Chinese yuan, Canadian dollar and Swedish krona, partially offset by the strength of the U.S.

dollar relative to several currencies, including the Brazilian real, Argentinean peso and Russian ruble.

The April 1, 2020 acquisition of Give & Go added incremental net revenues of $106 million and the January 4, 2021 acquisition of Hu Master Holdings added incremental net revenues of $8 million.

During the second quarter of 2021, 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 2020 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first six months of 2021, was reflected across all regions.

Favorable volume/mix was driven by Europe, Latin America and AMEA, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in North America.

Overall volume/mix benefited from volume gains as we lapped the significant negative impacts of the pandemic in many of our key markets, while in North America, we lapped high volume growth in the prior-year quarter from increased consumer demand due to the pandemic.

The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity and lower incremental COVID-19 related costs.

Higher raw material costs were in part due to increased currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, as well as higher packaging, oils, sugar, cocoa, energy, nuts, grains and other ingredients costs, partially offset by lower dairy costs.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $140 million from the second quarter of 2020, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, an unfavorable currency impact related to expenses, the impact from pension participation changes, incremental expenses from acquisitions and higher acquisition-related costs, which were partially offset by lapping prior-year costs associated with the JDE Peet's transaction, lower implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program and the favorable impact from the resolution of a tax matter.

Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $101 million from the second quarter of 2020.

The increase was driven primarily by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and higher overhead costs.

Favorable currency changes increased operating income by $67 million due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S.

dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Chinese yuan and Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strength of the U.S.

dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Turkish lira and Swiss franc.

Operating income margin increased from 12.1% in the second quarter of 2020 to 13.1% in the second quarter of 2021.

The increase was driven primarily by lower intangible asset impairment charges, lapping prior-year costs associated with the JDE Peet's transaction, a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities and higher Adjusted Operating Income margin, partially offset by higher Simplify to Grow program costs and the impact of pension participation changes.

Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 15.9% for the second quarter of 2020 to 16.2% for the second quarter of 2021.

The increase was driven primarily by lower manufacturing costs, higher net pricing and overhead leverage, partially offset by higher raw material costs, unfavorable product mix and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Net revenue increase of 10.0% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 5.0%, favorable currency and the impact of acquisitions.

Overall net revenues were higher in developed markets, as demand for our products grew in certain markets as increased food purchases for in-home consumption continued, though some markets declined as they lapped the prior-year period's strong volume growth resulting from increased consumer demand last year due to the pandemic.

In addition, our sales of our gum and candy products improved as out-of-home consumption began to recover, as did our world travel business as the sharp reduction in global travel due to the pandemic began to subside.

Incremental net revenues from acquisitions and favorable currency translation also added to revenue growth in the quarter.

Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing.

Favorable volume/mix in AMEA, Europe and Latin America, driven by strong volume gains, was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in North America.

Net pricing was up, which includes the benefit of carryover pricing from 2020 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first six months of 2021.

Higher net pricing was reflected in all regions.

Favorable currency impacts increased net revenues by $471 million, due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S.

dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Chinese yuan, Canadian dollar, South African rand, Swedish Krona and Mexican peso, partially offset by the strength of the U.S.

dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Brazilian real, Russian ruble and Turkish lira.

The April 1, 2021 acquisition of Gourmet Food added incremental net revenues of $23 million (constant currency basis), the March 25, 2021 acquisition of Grenade added incremental net revenues of $21 million (constant currency basis), the January 4, 2021 acquisition of Hu Master Holdings added incremental net revenues of $16 million and the April 1, 2020 acquisition of Give & Go added incremental net revenues of $106 million.

During the first quarter of 2021, 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 2020 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2021, was reflected across all regions.

Volume/mix benefited from increased food purchases for in-home consumption though at a more moderate rate than the same period last year, but the sharp reduction in global travel due to the pandemic continued to negatively impact our world travel business, while lower out-of-home consumption continued to negatively impact sales of our gum and candy products and our foodservice business.

Overall, favorable volume/mix was driven by AMEA and Europe, mostly offset by unfavorable volume/mix in North America and Latin America.

The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity net of incremental COVID-19 related costs.

Higher raw material costs were in part due to higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, as well as higher cocoa, sugar, oils, packaging, grains, nuts and other ingredients costs, partially offset by lower costs for dairy and energy.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $27 million from the first quarter of 2020, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, an unfavorable currency impact related to expenses, the impact of acquisitions, higher remeasurement loss of net monetary position and higher acquisition-related costs, which were partially offset by lower implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program.

Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $19 million from the first quarter of 2020.

The decrease was driven primarily by lower overhead costs primarily due to productivity efforts, partially offset by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.

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 and higher Adjusted Operating Income margin, partially offset by higher Simplify to Grow program costs.

Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 16.5% for the first quarter of 2020 to 17.9% for the first quarter of 2021.
