accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 Table of Contents Mondelēz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1. Basis of Presentation Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments over which we do not have significant influence or control are not material and as there are no readily determinable fair values for the equity interests, these investments are carried at cost with changes in the investment recognized to the extent cash is received. Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting : We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings. Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. As discussed below, beginning on July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our operations in Argentina. Argentina. During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates that indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinean subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinean peso to the U.S. dollar. On July 1, 2018, both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Argentinean pesos were remeasured into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, with remeasurement and other transaction gains and losses recorded in net earnings. As of June 30, 2021, our Argentinean operations had less than $ 1 million of Argentinean peso denominated net monetary assets. Our Argentinean operations contributed $ 96 million, or 1.4 % of consolidated net revenues in the three months and $ 185 million, or 1.3 % of consolidated net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded a remeasurement loss of $ 3 million during the three months and $ 8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as well as a remeasurement loss of $ 3 million during the three months and $ 5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the revaluation of the Argentinean peso denominated net monetary position over these periods. Brexit . Following the separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union ("Brexit") in 2020, a new trade arrangement was reached between the U.K. and E.U. that began on January 1, 2021. The main trade provisions include the continuation of no tariffs or quotas on trade between the U.K. and E.U. subject to prescribed trade terms, including but not limited to meeting product and labeling standards for both the U.K. and E.U. Cross-border trade between the U.K. and E.U. is also subject to new customs regulations, documentation and reviews. To comply with the new requirements, we increased resources in customer service and logistics, in our factories, and on our customs support teams. We adapted our processes and systems for the new and increased number of customs transactions. We continue to closely monitor and manage our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the U.K. We have made investments in resources, systems and processes to meet the new 6 Table of Contents ongoing requirements and we have not experienced material disruptions from the transition in 2021 to date. If the U.K.’s separation from, or new trade arrangements with, the E.U. negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disagreements on trade terms, delays affecting our supply chain or distribution, or disruptions to sales or collections, the impact to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we generated 9.1 % of our consolidated net revenues in the U.K. Other Countries. Since we sell our products in over 150 countries and have operations in approximately 80 countries, we monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to potential exposures. We continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and related impacts to our business operations, currencies and net monetary exposures. Since the global onset of COVID-19 in early 2020, most countries in which we do business experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty as well as exchange rate volatility. At this time, except for Argentina which is accounted for as a highly inflationary economy, we do not anticipate any other countries in which we operate to be at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash: Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We also have restricted cash that is recorded within other current assets of $ 31 million as of June 30, 2021 and $ 31 million as of December 31, 2020. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $ 1,969 million as of June 30, 2021 and $ 3,650 million as of December 31, 2020. Allowances for Credit Losses: The allowances for credit losses are recorded against our receivables. They are developed at a country and region level based on historical collection experiences, current economic condition of specific customers and the forecasted economic condition of countries using various factors such as bond default rates and consumption indexes. We write off receivables once it is determined that the receivables are no longer collectible and as allowed by local laws. Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of: Allowance for Trade Receivables Allowance for Other Current Receivables Allowance for Long-Term Receivables (in millions) Balance at January 1, 2021 $ ( 42 ) $ ( 42 ) $ ( 12 ) Current period provision for expected credit losses ( 3 ) ( 11 ) — Write-offs charged against the allowance 1 1 — Currency 3 ( 1 ) — Balance at June 30, 2021 $ ( 41 ) $ ( 53 ) $ ( 12 ) Transfers of Financial Assets: We account for transfers of financial assets, such as uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We use receivable factoring arrangements periodically when circumstances are favorable to manage liquidity. We have non-recourse factoring arrangements in which we sell eligible trade receivables primarily to banks in exchange for cash. We may then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the banks. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $ 719 million as of June 30, 2021 and $ 760 million as of December 31, 2020. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was not material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Non-Cash Lease Transactions: We recorded $ 115 million in operating lease and $ 44 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $ 122 million in operating lease and $ 68 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2020. 7 Table of Contents New Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2020 and subsequently in January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to provide optional accounting guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to existing accounting requirements for contract modifications and hedge accounting related to transitioning from discontinued reference rates, such as LIBOR, to alternative reference rates, if certain criteria are met. The new accounting requirements can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period including March 12, 2020, or any date thereafter, through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating our contracts and the optional expedients provided by the new standard. Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures On May 26, 2021, we announced an agreement to acquire Chipita S.A., a leading croissants and baked snacks company in the Central and Eastern European markets. We expect the acquisition to close in the next nine months after all regulatory and acquisition-related reviews are completed. We expect purchase consideration of approximately € 1.7 billion ($ 2.0 billion). During the second quarter of 2021, we incurred $ 6 million of acquisition-related costs. On April 1, 2021, we acquired Gourmet Food Holdings Pty Ltd ("Gourmet Food"), a leading Australian food company in the premium biscuit and cracker category, for closing cash consideration of approximately $ 450 million Australian dollars ($ 343 million), net of cash received. We are working to complete the valuation and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $ 41 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $ 80 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $ 176 million to goodwill, $ 19 million to property, plant and equipment, $ 18 million to inventory, $ 25 million to accounts receivable, $ 5 million to operating right of use assets, $ 3 million to other current assets, $ 19 million to current liabilities and $ 5 million to long-term operating lease liabilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the acquisition added incremental net revenues of $ 27 million and operating income of $ 3 million. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $ 6 million during the three months and $ 7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. On March 25, 2021, we acquired a majority interest in Lion/Gemstone Topco Ltd ("Grenade"), a performance nutrition leader in the United Kingdom, for closing cash consideration of £ 188 million ($ 261 million), net of cash received. The acquisition of Grenade expands our position into the premium nutrition market. We are working to complete the valuation and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $ 82 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $ 28 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $ 181 million to goodwill, $ 1 million to property, plant and equipment, $ 11 million to inventory, $ 18 million to accounts receivable, $ 25 million to current liabilities, $ 20 million to deferred tax liabilities and $ 15 million to long-term other liabilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the acquisition added incremental net revenues of $ 23 million and operating income of $ 2 million. We incurred $ 2 million of acquisition-related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2021. On January 4, 2021, we acquired the remaining 93 % of equity of Hu Master Holdings ("Hu"), a category leader in premium chocolate in the United States, which provides a strategic complement to our snacking portfolio in North America through growth opportunities in chocolate and other categories in the well-being category. The initial cash consideration paid was $ 229 million, net of cash received, and the Company may be required to pay additional cash consideration. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date was $ 132 million and was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on forecasted future results. We are unable to provide a range of amounts that could be paid as contingent consideration as it is based primarily on revenue and gross margin of the business for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and there is not a minimum or maximum payout. As a result of acquiring the remaining equity interest, we consolidated the operations prospectively from the date of acquisition and recorded a pre-tax gain of $ 9 million ($ 7 million after-tax) related to stepping up our previously-held $ 8 million ( 7 %) investment to fair value. We are working to complete the valuation and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $ 123 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $ 51 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $ 202 million to goodwill, $ 1 million to property, plant and equipment, $ 2 million to inventory, $ 4 million to accounts receivable, $ 5 million to current liabilities and $ 132 million to long-term other liabilities. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $ 8 million in the three months and $ 16 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, and an operating loss of $ 7 million in the three months and $ 13 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $ 5 million during the three months and $ 9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. 8 Table of Contents On April 1, 2020, we acquired a majority interest in Give & Go, a North American leader in fully-finished sweet baked goods and owner of the famous two-bite ® brand of brownies and the Create-A-Treat ® brand, known for cookie and gingerbread house decorating kits. The acquisition of Give & Go provides access to the in-store bakery channel and expands our position in broader snacking. The purchase consideration for Give & Go totaled $ 1,136 million, net of cash received. We have recorded a purchase price allocation of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows: (in millions) Receivables $ 29 Inventory 38 Other current assets 6 Property, plant and equipment 136 Operating right of use assets 61 Definite-life intangible assets 511 Indefinite-life intangible assets 42 Goodwill 531 Assets acquired $ 1,354 Current liabilities 42 Deferred tax liabilities 92 Long-term operating lease liabilities 56 Long-term debt 6 Long-term other liabilities 19 Total purchase price $ 1,139 Less: cash received 3 Net Cash Paid $ 1,136 Within definite-life intangible assets, we allocated $ 416 million to customer relationships which have an estimated useful life of 17 years. Goodwill arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across both new and legacy product categories. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value for customer relationships at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include discounted future cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates. Through the one-year anniversary of the acquisition, Give & Go added incremental net revenues of $ 106 million and operating income of $ 6 million in 2021. We incurred $ 10 million of acquisition-related costs during the three months and $ 15 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Note 3. Inventories Inventories consisted of the following: As of June 30, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 (in millions) Raw materials $ 812 $ 718 Finished product 2,239 2,059 3,051 2,777 Inventory reserves ( 126 ) ( 130 ) Inventories, net $ 2,925 $ 2,647 9 Table of Contents Note 4.

In connection with our restructuring program, we recorded non-cash property, plant and equipment write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and losses/(gains) on disposal in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings within asset impairment and exit costs and within the segment results as follows (refer to Note 7, Restructuring Program ).

Definite-life intangible assets consist primarily of brands, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $ 32 million for the three months and $ 70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $ 50 million for the three months and $ 93 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $ 135 million in 2021, approximately $ 130 million in 2022-2024 and approximately $ 105 million in 2025 (reflecting June 30, 2021 exchange rates). Changes in goodwill and intangible assets consisted of: Goodwill Intangible Assets, at cost (in millions) Balance at January 1, 2021 $ 21,895 $ 20,399 Currency ( 184 ) ( 98 ) Acquisitions 559 405 Asset impairments — ( 32 ) Balance at June 30, 2021 $ 22,270 $ 20,674 Changes to goodwill and intangibles were: • Acquisitions - In connection with our acquisitions of Gourmet Food, Grenade and the remaining interest in Hu during the first six months of 2021, we recorded preliminary purchase price allocations totaling $ 559 million of goodwill and $ 405 million of intangible assets. See Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures , for additional information. • Asset impairments - As further described below, during the second quarter of 2021, we recorded $ 32 million of intangible asset impairments resulting primarily from lower than expected sales growth for one brand across our North America segment. Each quarter, we evaluate our goodwill and intangible asset impairment risk through an assessment of potential triggering events. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, we considered qualitative and quantitative information in our assessment over goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets. • During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, we concluded no goodwill impairment indicators were present that would require additional goodwill impairment evaluation and that our goodwill as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 were fairly stated. • With the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, we continue to monitor intangible asset impairment risk. During the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, we identified declines in demand for certain of our brands, that prompted additional evaluation of our indefinite-life intangible assets. We estimated the fair value of the brands using several acceptable valuation methods, including relief of royalty, excess earnings and excess margin models. Those models required us to make assumptions related to the future sales and earnings growth rates for the brands, as well as royalty rates and discount rates. We made our best estimate of those assumptions using the information available; however, given the uncertainty of the global economic environment and the impact of COVID-19, those estimates could be significantly different than future performance. In certain instances, the estimated fair value of the brand was below the carrying value, which 11 Table of Contents resulted in impairment charges. Primarily due to lower than original expected sales growth, during the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a $ 32 million impairment charge in North America related to a small biscuit brand, and during the second quarter of 2020, we recorded $ 90 million of impairment charges related to four gum brands, a small biscuit brand and a small candy brand, with $ 50 million recorded in Europe, $ 36 million in North America and $ 4 million in AMEA. The impairment charges were calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the intangible assets on a global basis and were recorded within asset impairment and exit costs. We will continue to monitor the potential for asset impairment risk over coming quarters. In 2020, we recorded a total of $ 144 million of intangible asset impairment charges related to eight brands. The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in declines in the sales and earnings for certain brands, particularly our gum brands. During our annual impairment testing as of July 1, 2020, we identified nine brands, including the eight impaired brands, that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. The aggregate book value of the nine brands was $ 721 million as of June 30, 2021. We continue to monitor our brand performance, particularly in light of the significant uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts to our business. If the brand earnings expectations, including the timing of the expected recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic impacts, are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, then a brand or brands could become impaired in the future. Note 6. Equity Method Investments Equity method investments consist of our investments in entities in which we maintain an equity ownership interest and apply the equity method of accounting due to our ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs. Revenue and expenses of our equity method investees are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each investee is reflected as equity method investment net earnings . The carrying values of our equity method investments are also impacted by our proportionate share of items impacting the investee's accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and other items, such as our share of investee dividends. Our equity method investments include, but are not limited to, our ownership interests in JDE Peet's (Euronext Amsterdam: "JDEP"), Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (Nasdaq: "KDP"), Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. Our ownership interests may change over time due to investee stock-based compensation arrangements, share issuances or other equity-related transactions. As of June 30, 2021, we owned 22.8 %, 6.4 %, 50.0 % and 49.0 %, respectively, of these companies' outstanding shares. Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $ 5,586 million as of June 30, 2021 and $ 6,036 million as of December 31, 2020. We recorded equity earnings of $ 107 million and cash dividends of $ 20 million in the second quarter of 2021 and equity earnings of $ 106 million and cash dividends of $ 28 million in the second quarter of 2020. We recorded equity earnings of $ 185 million and cash dividends of $ 94 million in the first six months of 2021 and equity earnings of $ 227 million and cash dividends of $ 193 million in the first six months of 2020 . Based on the quoted closing prices as of June 30, 2021, the combined fair value of our publicly-traded investments in JDEP and KDP wa s $ 7.3 billion , and for each investment, its fair value exceeded its carrying value. Keurig Dr Pepper Transactions: On June 7, 2021, we participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately 28 million shares, which reduced our ownership interest by 2 % of the total outstanding shares. We received $ 997 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $ 520 million (or $ 392 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2021. As we will continue to have significant influence, we will continue to account for our investment in KDP under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows. We will continue to have board representation with one director on the KDP Board of Directors and we retained certain additional governance rights. On March 4, 2020, we participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately 6.8 million shares, which reduced our ownership interest by 0.5 % of the total outstanding shares. We received $ 185 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $ 71 million (or $ 54 million after-tax) during the first quarter of 2020. 12 Table of Contents JDE Peet’s Transaction: On May 19, 2020, JDE Peet’s B.V. (renamed JDE Peet’s N.V. immediately prior to Settlement (as defined below), “JDE Peet’s”) announced its intention to launch an offering of its ordinary shares (the “offering”) and to apply for admission to listing and trading of all of its ordinary shares on Euronext Amsterdam, a regulated market operated by Euronext Amsterdam N.V. (the “admission”). On May 26, 2020, JDE Peet’s published a prospectus in connection with the offering and the admission. On May 29, 2020, JDE Peet’s announced the final pricing terms of the offering, and JDE Peet’s and the selling shareholders, including us, agreed to sell at a price of € 31.50 per ordinary share a total of approximately 82.1 million ordinary shares, including ordinary shares subject to an over-allotment option. The ordinary shares were listed and first traded on May 29, 2020, and payment for, and delivery of, the ordinary shares sold in the offering (excluding ordinary shares subject to the over-allotment option) took place on June 2, 2020 (“Settlement”). Prior to Settlement, we exchanged our 26.4 % ownership interest in Jacobs Douwe Egberts ("JDE") for a 26.5 % equity interest in JDE Peet’s. We did not invest new capital in connection with the transaction and the exchange was accounted for as a change in interest transaction. Upon Settlement, we sold approximately 9.7 million of our ordinary shares in JDE Peet’s in the offering for gross proceeds of € 304 million ($ 343 million). We subsequently sold approximately 1.4 million additional shares and received gross proceeds of € 46 million ($ 51 million) upon exercise of the over-allotment option. Following Settlement and the exercise of the over-allotment option, we held a 22.9 % equity interest in JDE Peet’s. During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded a preliminary gain of $ 121 million, net of $ 33 million released from accumulated other comprehensive losses, and $ 48 million of transaction costs. As was the case in our ownership interest in JDE, we have significant influence with respect to JDE Peet’s, and we will continue to account for our investment in JDE Peet’s under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of JDE Peet’s earnings within our earnings and our share of JDE Peet’s dividends within our cash flows. In the second quarter of 2020, in connection with this transaction, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of JDE’s historical and JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, although we continue to record dividends when cash is received. We determined a lag was preferable as it enables us to continue to report our quarterly and annual results on a timely basis, while recording our share of JDE Peet’s ongoing results after JDE Peet’s has publicly reported its results. This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively to all periods. Note 7. Restructuring Program On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $ 3.5 billion 2014-2018 restructuring program and up to $ 2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $ 600 million reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so the $ 5.7 billion program consisted of approximately $ 4.1 billion of restructuring program charges ($ 3.1 billion cash costs and $ 1.0 billion non-cash costs) and up to $ 1.6 billion of capital expenditures. On September 6, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2022, an increase of $ 1.3 billion in the program charges and an increase of $ 700 million in capital expenditures. The total $ 7.7 billion program now consists of $ 5.4 billion of program charges ($ 4.1 billion of cash costs and $ 1.3 billion of non-cash costs) and total capital expenditures of $ 2.3 billion to be incurred over the life of the program. The current restructuring program, as increased and extended by these actions, is now called the Simplify to Grow Program. The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and implementation charges of $ 5.0 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the remainder of the program charges by year-end 2022. 13 Table of Contents Restructuring Costs : The Simplify to Grow Program liability activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was: Severance and related costs Asset Write-downs Total (in millions) Liability balance, January 1, 2021 $ 304 $ — $ 304 Charges 73 115 188 Cash spent ( 64 ) ( 64 ) Non-cash settlements/adjustments ( 1 ) ( 115 ) ( 116 ) Currency ( 5 ) — ( 5 ) Liability balance, June 30, 2021 $ 307 $ — $ 307 • We recorded restructuring charges of $ 100 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $ 28 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $ 188 million in the first six months of 2021 and $ 43 million in the first six months of 2020 within asset impairment and exit costs and benefit plan non-service income. • We spent $ 30 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $ 32 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $ 64 million in the first six months of 2021 and $ 69 million in the first six months of 2020 in cash severance and related costs. • We also recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments). including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets, non-cash pension settlement losses (refer to Note 10, Benefit Plans ) and other adjustments, which totaled $ 76 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $ 11 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $ 116 million in the first six months of 2021 and $ 14 million in the first six months of 2020. • At June 30, 2021, $ 258 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $ 49 million was recorded within other long-term liabilities. Implementation Costs: Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our Simplify to Grow Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $ 33 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $ 52 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $ 67 million in the first six months of 2021 and $ 95 million in the first six months of 2020. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. 14 Table of Contents Restructuring and Implementation Costs: During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, and since inception of the Simplify to Grow Program, we recorded the following restructuring and implementation costs within segment operating income and earnings before income taxes: Latin America AMEA Europe North America Corporate Total (in millions) For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Restructuring Costs $ — $ 2 $ ( 1 ) $ 92 $ 7 $ 100 Implementation Costs 4 3 11 17 ( 2 ) 33 Total $ 4 $ 5 $ 10 $ 109 $ 5 $ 133 For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Restructuring Costs $ 14 $ 5 $ 9 $ ( 2 ) $ 2 $ 28 Implementation Costs 1 3 11 11 26 52 Total $ 15 $ 8 $ 20 $ 9 $ 28 $ 80 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Restructuring Costs $ 3 $ ( 19 ) $ 5 $ 193 $ 6 $ 188 Implementation Costs 7 5 21 27 7 67 Total $ 10 $ ( 14 ) $ 26 $ 220 $ 13 $ 255 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Restructuring Costs $ 18 $ 4 $ 12 $ — $ 9 $ 43 Implementation Costs 8 6 25 21 35 95 Total $ 26 $ 10 $ 37 $ 21 $ 44 $ 138 Total Project (Inception to Date) Restructuring Costs $ 550 $ 539 $ 1,148 $ 685 $ 148 $ 3,070 Implementation Costs 294 234 532 483 345 1,888 Total $ 844 $ 773 $ 1,680 $ 1,168 $ 493 $ 4,958 Note 8.

The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders' equity of at least $ 24.6 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses), the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles and earnings/(losses) recognized in connection with the ongoing application of any mark-to-market accounting for pensions and other retirement plans. At June 30, 2021, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $ 38.1 billion. The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. Long-Term Debt: Redemptions: On March 31, 2021, we completed an early redemption of Euro and U.S. dollar denominated notes for the following amounts (in millions): Interest Rate Maturity Date Amount Redeemed USD Equivalent 1.000 % March 2022 € 500 $ 587 1.625 % January 2023 € 700 $ 821 2.125 % April 2023 $ 500 $ 500 4.000 % February 2024 $ 492 $ 492 We recorded $ 137 million of extinguishment loss and debt-related expenses within interest and other expense, net related to $ 110 million paid in excess of carrying value of the debt and recognizing unamortized discounts and deferred financing in earnings and $ 27 million foreign currency derivative loss related to the redemption payment at the time of the debt extinguishment. The cash payments related to the redemption were classified as cash outflows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Note 9. Financial Instruments Fair Value of Derivative Instruments: Derivative instruments were recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows: As of June 30, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives (in millions) Derivatives designated as accounting hedges: Interest rate contracts $ 13 $ 236 $ 12 $ 340 Net investment hedge derivative contracts (1) 104 62 114 129 $ 117 $ 298 $ 126 $ 469 Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges: Currency exchange contracts $ 113 $ 82 $ 134 $ 119 Commodity contracts 340 147 205 128 $ 453 $ 229 $ 339 $ 247 Total fair value $ 570 $ 527 $ 465 $ 716 (1) Net investment hedge derivative contracts consist of cross-currency interest rate swaps, forward contracts and options. We also designate some of our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to hedge a portion of our net investments in our non-U.S. operations. This debt is not reflected in the table above, but is included in long-term debt discussed in Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements . Both net investment hedge derivative contracts and non-U.S. dollar denominated debt acting as net investment hedges are also disclosed in the Derivative Volume table and the Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations section appearing later in this footnote. 17 Table of Contents Derivatives designated as accounting hedges include cash flow and net investment hedge derivative contracts. Our currency exchange and commodity derivative contracts are economic hedges that are not designated as accounting hedges. We record derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our asset derivatives is recorded within other current assets and the fair value of our liability derivatives is recorded within other current liabilities. The fair values (asset/(liability)) of our derivative instruments were determined using: As of June 30, 2021 Total Fair Value of Net Asset/(Liability) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Currency exchange contracts $ 31 $ — $ 31 $ — Commodity contracts 193 108 85 — Interest rate contracts ( 223 ) — ( 223 ) — Net investment hedge contracts 42 — 42 — Total derivatives $ 43 $ 108 $ ( 65 ) $ — As of December 31, 2020 Total Fair Value of Net Asset/(Liability) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Currency exchange contracts $ 15 $ — $ 15 $ — Commodity contracts 77 46 31 — Interest rate contracts ( 328 ) — ( 328 ) — Net investment hedge contracts ( 15 ) — ( 15 ) — Total derivatives $ ( 251 ) $ 46 $ ( 297 ) $ — Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges. Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency exchange forwards, options and swaps; commodity forwards and options; and interest rate swaps. Our currency exchange contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Our OTC derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties. 18 Table of Contents Derivative Volume: The notional values of our hedging instruments were: Notional Amount As of June 30, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 (in millions) Currency exchange contracts: Intercompany loans and forecasted interest payments $ 2,228 $ 2,184 Forecasted transactions 4,098 4,169 Commodity contracts 7,259 7,947 Interest rate contracts 3,500 3,500 Net investment hedges: Net investment hedge derivative contracts 4,623 4,551 Non-U.S. dollar debt designated as net investment hedges Euro notes 3,777 3,744 British pound sterling notes 364 360 Swiss franc notes 1,124 1,175 Canadian dollar notes 484 472 Cash Flow Hedges: Cash flow hedge activity, net of taxes, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) included: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) Accumulated (loss)/gain at beginning of period $ ( 159 ) $ ( 155 ) $ ( 161 ) $ ( 213 ) Transfer of realized losses/(gains) in fair value to earnings 4 7 9 88 Unrealized (loss)/gain in fair value 13 ( 6 ) 10 ( 29 ) Accumulated (loss)/gain at end of period $ ( 142 ) $ ( 154 ) $ ( 142 ) $ ( 154 ) After-tax gains/(losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into net earnings were: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) Interest rate contracts $ ( 4 ) $ ( 7 ) $ ( 9 ) $ ( 88 ) Within interest and other expense, net, due to changes in forecasted debt, we recognized losses related to forward-starting interest rate swaps of $ 79 million ($ 103 million pre-tax) in the first quarter of 2020 and in the six months ended June 30, 2020. After-tax gains/(losses) recognized in other comprehensive earnings/(losses) were: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) Currency exchange contracts – forecasted transactions $ 7 $ ( 1 ) $ 6 $ ( 1 ) Interest rate contracts 6 ( 5 ) 4 ( 28 ) Total $ 13 $ ( 6 ) $ 10 $ ( 29 ) 19 Table of Contents Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness was not material for all periods presented. We record pre-tax (i) gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into earnings, (ii) gains or losses on ineffectiveness and (iii) gains or losses on amounts excluded from effectiveness testing in interest and other expense, net for interest rate contracts. Based on current market conditions, we would expect to transfer losses of $ 134 million (net of taxes) for interest rate cash flow hedges to earnings during the next 12 months. Cash Flow Hedge Coverage: As of June 30, 2021, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 3 years and 3 months. Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations: Net investment hedge ("NIH") derivative contracts: We enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps, forwards and options to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. The aggregate notional value as of June 30, 2021 was $ 4.6 billion. The impacts of the net investment hedge derivative contracts on other comprehensive earnings and net earnings were as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) After-tax gain/(loss) on NIH contracts (1) $ ( 36 ) $ ( 115 ) $ 23 $ 217 (1) Amounts recorded for unsettled and settled NIH derivative contracts are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment within other comprehensive earnings. The cash flows from the settled contracts are reported within other investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Benefit Plans Pension Plans Components of Net Periodic Pension Cost: Net periodic pension cost/(benefit) consisted of the following: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) Service cost $ 2 $ 2 $ 35 $ 29 Interest cost 10 13 30 36 Expected return on plan assets ( 18 ) ( 20 ) ( 107 ) ( 96 ) Amortization: Net loss from experience differences 5 4 33 28 Prior service benefit — — ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Curtailment credit (1) — — ( 14 ) — Settlement losses and other expenses (2) 6 8 — — Net periodic pension cost/(benefit) $ 5 $ 7 $ ( 24 ) $ ( 4 ) U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans For the Six Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) Service cost $ 4 $ 3 $ 70 $ 59 Interest cost 20 26 59 73 Expected return on plan assets ( 36 ) ( 39 ) ( 213 ) ( 195 ) Amortization: Net loss from experience differences 9 8 66 57 Prior service benefit — — ( 3 ) ( 3 ) Curtailment credit (1) — — ( 14 ) — Settlement losses and other expenses (2) 9 12 — 2 Net periodic pension cost/(benefit) $ 6 $ 10 $ ( 35 ) $ ( 7 ) 21 Table of Contents (1) During the second quarter of 2021, we made a decision to freeze our Defined Benefit Pension Scheme in the United Kingdom. As a result, we recognized a curtailment credit of $( 14 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 recorded within benefit plan non-service income. We also incurred incentive payment charges and other expenses related to this decision of $ 44 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $ 45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included in operating income. (2) In connection with our Simplify to Grow Program, settlement losses and other expenses were $ 1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and $ 4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. These losses were recorded within benefit plan non-service income. Employer Contributions: During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we contributed $ 4 million to our U.S. pension plans and $ 117 million to our non-U.S. pension plans, including $ 59 million to plans in the United Kingdom and Ireland. We make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local funding arrangements and statutory minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contributions are made to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability. As of June 30, 2021, over the remainder of 2021, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $ 4 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $ 111 million to our non-U.S. plans. Our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates. Multiemployer Pension Plans: On July 11, 2019, we received an undiscounted withdrawal liability assessment related to our complete withdrawal from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund totaling $ 526 million requiring pro-rata monthly payments over 20 years. We began making monthly payments during the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the discounted long-term liability, we recorded accreted interest of $ 3 million and $ 6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and $ 3 million and $ 6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 within interest and other expense, net. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining discounted withdrawal liability was $ 368 million, with $ 14 million recorded in other current liabilities and $ 354 million recorded in long-term other liabilities. Postretirement Benefit Plans Net periodic postretirement health care cost/(benefit) consisted of the following: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) Service cost $ 1 $ 2 $ 2 $ 3 Interest cost 2 3 4 6 Amortization: Net loss from experience differences — 1 1 4 Prior service credit — ( 7 ) — ( 15 ) Net periodic postretirement health care cost/(benefit) $ 3 $ ( 1 ) $ 7 $ ( 2 ) Postemployment Benefit Plans Net periodic postemployment cost consisted of the following: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions) Service cost $ 2 $ 2 $ 3 $ 3 Interest cost — 1 1 2 Amortization of net gains — ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) Net periodic postemployment cost $ 2 $ 2 $ 3 $ 3 22 Table of Contents Note 11.

The actual tax benefit realized and recorded in the provision for income taxes for the tax deductions from the option exercises totaled $ 7 million in the three months and $ 14 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Performance Share Units and Other Stock-Based Awards: Our performance share unit, deferred stock unit and historically granted restricted stock activity is reflected below: Number of Shares Grant Date Weighted-Average Fair Value Per Share (3) Weighted-Average Aggregate Fair Value (3) Balance at January 1, 2021 4,896,990 $ 53.80 Annual grant to eligible employees: Feb 18, 2021 Performance share units 903,250 59.35 Deferred stock units 550,090 56.13 Additional shares granted (1) 1,122,130 Various 53.50 Total shares granted 2,575,470 56.11 $ 145 million Vested (2) ( 2,351,013 ) 49.72 $ 117 million Forfeited ( 198,602 ) 56.66 Balance at June 30, 2021 4,922,845 56.84 (1) Includes performance share units and deferred stock units. (2) The actual tax benefit/(expense) realized and recorded in the provision for income taxes for the tax deductions from the shares vested totaled less than $ 1 million in the three months and $ 6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. (3) The grant date fair value of performance share units is determined based on the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for performance-based components. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the probability of achieving the total shareholder return market condition. Compensation expense is recognized using the grant date fair values regardless of whether the market condition is achieved, so long as the requisite service has been provided. 23 Table of Contents Share Repurchase Program: Between 2013 and 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a total of $ 13.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2018. On January 31, 2018, our Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, approved an increase of $ 6.0 billion in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to $ 19.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2020. On December 2, 2020, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $ 4.0 billion in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to $ 23.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2023. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2021, we had repurchased approximately $ 18.0 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased approximately 25.0 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $ 57.89 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $ 1.5 billion, all of which was paid during the period. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of June 30, 2021, we have approximately $ 4.3 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity. Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings: We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims, disputes, regulatory matters and governmental inspections or investigations arising in the ordinary course of or incidental to our business, including those noted below in this section. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters we have not provided for that are reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome, management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss or such amounts have been determined to be immaterial. At present we believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position. On April 1, 2015 , the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") filed a complaint against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court"), Eastern Division (the “CFTC action”) following its investigation of activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the spin-off of Kraft Foods Group. The complaint alleges that Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global (1) manipulated or attempted to manipulate the wheat markets during the fall of 2011; (2) violated position limit levels for wheat futures and (3) engaged in non-competitive trades by trading both sides of exchange-for-physical Chicago Board of Trade wheat contracts. The CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties of either triple the monetary gain for each violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (the “Act”) or $ 1 million for each violation of Section 6(c)(1), 6(c)(3) or 9(a)(2) of the Act and $ 140,000 for each additional violation of the Act, plus post-judgment interest; an order of permanent injunction prohibiting Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global from violating specified provisions of the Act; disgorgement of profits; and costs and fees. On August 15, 2019, the District Court approved a settlement agreement between the CFTC and Mondelēz Global. The terms of the settlement, which are available in the District Court’s docket, had an immaterial impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. On October 23, 2019, following a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit regarding Mondelēz Global's allegations that the CFTC and its Commissioners violated certain terms of the settlement agreement and the CFTC's argument that the Commissioners were not bound by the terms of the settlement agreement, the District Court vacated the settlement agreement and reinstated all pending motions that the District Court had previously mooted as a result of the settlement. The parties have reached a new agreement in principle to resolve the CFTC action and have submitted the settlement to the District Court for approval. The District Court cancelled a scheduled conference on June 4, 2020 to discuss the proposed settlement agreement but indicated that it would rule on pending motions in due course . Additionally, several class action complaints were filed against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global in the District Court by investors in wheat futures and options on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated. The complaints make similar allegations as those made in the CFTC action, and the plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages, interest and unjust enrichment; costs and fees; and injunctive, declaratory and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the District Court. On January 3, 2020, the District Court granted 24 Table of Contents plantiffs' request to certify a class. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to bear any monetary penalties or other payments in connection with the CFTC action and the class action. Although the CFTC action and the class action complaints involve the same alleged conduct, a resolution or decision with respect to one of the matters may not be dispositive as to the outcome of the other matter. In November 2019, the European Commission informed us that it has initiated an investigation into our alleged infringement of European Union competition law through certain practices restricting cross-border trade within the European Economic Area. On January 28, 2021, the European Commission announced it has taken the next procedural step in its investigation and opened formal proceedings. We are cooperating with the investigation and expect to continue to engage with the European Commission as its investigation proceeds. It is not possible to predict how long the investigation will take or the ultimate outcome of this matter. Third-Party Guarantees: We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At June 30, 2021, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Tax Matters: We are a party to various tax matter proceedings incidental to our business. These proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could subject us to additional tax liabilities and could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial position. 25 Table of Contents Note 13. Reclassifications from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) attributable to Mondelēz International.

(4) These reclassified gains or losses are recorded within interest and other expense, net. Note 14. Income Taxes As of the second quarter of 2021, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 23.7 %. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our 2021 second quarter effective tax rate of 45.9 % was unusually high due to a $ 128 million tax expense incurred in connection with the KDP share sale that occurred during the second quarter (the related gain is reported separately in our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes). Excluding this impact, our second quarter effective tax rate was 31.1 %, reflecting a discrete net tax expense of $ 81 million. The discrete net tax expense primarily consisted of a $ 95 million net tax expense from the increase of our deferred tax liabilities resulting from tax legislation enacted during the second quarter (mainly in the United Kingdom), partially offset by a $ 11 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of 30.9 % was also unusually high due to the $ 128 million net tax expense incurred in connection with the KDP share sale. Excluding this impact, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 24.5 %, which was unfavorably impacted by discrete net tax expense of $ 15 million, primarily driven by $ 99 million net tax expense from the increase of our deferred tax liabilities resulting from enacted tax legislation (mainly in the United Kingdom) partially offset by a $ 43 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions and a $ 27 million benefit from a U.S. amended tax return filed to reflect new guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department. As of the second quarter of 2020, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 27.5 %. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our 2020 second quarter effective tax rate of 51.7 % was unusually high due to a $ 261 million tax expense incurred in connection with the JDE Peet's transaction (the related gains are reported separately in our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes). Excluding this impact, our second quarter effective tax rate was 12.1 % reflecting a discrete net tax benefit of $ 72 million. The discrete net tax benefit primarily consisted of a $ 70 million net benefit from the release of a valuation allowance in China as we now expect to utilize prior-year carryforward tax benefits to offset future taxable income. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of 36.0 % was also unusually high due to the $ 261 million net tax expense incurred in connection with the JDE Peet's transaction. Excluding this impact, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 16.8 %, which was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $ 100 million, primarily driven by the $ 70 million net benefit from the release of the China valuation allowance and a $ 24 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions. 26 Table of Contents Note 15. Earnings per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were calculated as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (in millions, except per share data) Net earnings $ 1,079 $ 545 $ 2,047 $ 1,288 Noncontrolling interest earnings ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( 8 ) ( 8 ) Net earnings attributable to Mondelēz International $ 1,078 $ 544 $ 2,039 $ 1,280 Weighted-average shares for basic EPS 1,407 1,431 1,410 1,432 Plus incremental shares from assumed conversions of stock options and long-term incentive plan shares 9 8 9 10 Weighted-average shares for diluted EPS 1,416 1,439 1,419 1,442 Basic earnings per share attributable to Mondelēz International $ 0.77 $ 0.38 $ 1.45 $ 0.89 Diluted earnings per share attributable to Mondelēz International $ 0.76 $ 0.38 $ 1.44 $ 0.89 We exclude antidilutive Mondelēz International stock options from our calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS. We excluded antidilutive stock options and performance share units of 3.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 and 5.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 3.6 million in the first six months of 2021 and 4.8 million in the first six months of 2020. Note 16. Segment Reporting We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy and various cheese & grocery products, as well as powdered beverage products. We manage our global business and report operating results through geographic units. We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions. Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments: • Latin America • AMEA • Europe • North America We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. We exclude these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results.
