Mondelez International, Inc. 10-Q

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Description of the Company We make and sell primarily snacks, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy as well as various cheese & grocery and powdered beverage products. We have operations in approximately 80 countries and sell our products in over 150 countries. We aim to be the global leader in snacking. Our strategy is to drive long-term growth by focusing on three strategic priorities: accelerating consumer-centric growth, driving operational excellence and creating a winning growth culture. We believe the successful implementation of our strategic priorities and leveraging of our strong foundation of iconic global and local brands, an attractive global footprint, our market leadership in developed and emerging markets, our deep innovation, marketing and distribution capabilities, and our efficiency and sustainability efforts, will drive top- and bottom-line growth, enabling us to continue to create long-term value for our shareholders. Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability COVID-19 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), 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), 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. Our Employees, Customers and Communities We have taken a number of actions to promote the health and safety of our employees, customers and consumers, which is our first priority: • We implemented enhanced protocols to provide a safe and sanitary working environment for our employees. In many locations, our employees have worked remotely whenever possible. For employees who were unable to work remotely, we adopted a number of heightened protocols, consistent with those 30 Table of Contents prescribed by the World Health Organization, related to social distancing (including staggering lunchtimes and shifts where possible and restricting in-person gatherings and non-essential travel) and enhanced hygiene and workplace sanitation. At a local level, we also provided additional flexibility and support to employees in our manufacturing facilities, distribution and logistics operations and sales organization. As our office-based employees begin to return to the workplace over coming months, we will follow enhanced safety protocols related to shared workspaces while also encouraging continued flexible and virtual work arrangements wherever possible. • We have hired frontline employees in the U.S. and other locations to meet additional marketplace demand and promote uninterrupted functioning of our manufacturing, distribution and sales network. • We have donated over $30 million to assist those impacted by COVID-19 and to support local and global organizations responding to food instability and providing emergency relief. Our Supply Chain and Operations We operate in the food and beverages industry and are part of the global food supply chain. One of our main objectives during the pandemic has been to maintain the availability of our products to meet the needs of our consumers. In response to increased demand, we increased production and, to date, we have not experienced material disruptions in our supply chain or operations: • We leveraged learnings from our timely response to the initial outbreak in China, and we put in place procedures across our supply chain to help mitigate the risk that our manufacturing sites experience material closures or disruptions. We have worked with governments and healthcare providers to help provide access to vaccines for our frontline and office employees when and where possible at a local level. • We have not experienced material disruptions in our workforce; however, mandatory or voluntary stay-at-home restrictions have resulted in increased levels of absenteeism. • We continue to source raw ingredients, packaging, energy and transportation and deliver our products to our customers. Transportation and commodity costs have continued to increase. Although we monitor these costs and our exposure to commodity prices and hedge against input price increases, we cannot fully hedge against all cost increases and changes in costs, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. We anticipate continued transportation, commodity and other cost volatility as the pandemic continues. • While to date, the temporary disruptions in operations we experienced were not material to our consolidated results, the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak may still disrupt our global supply chain, operations and routes to market or those of our suppliers, their suppliers, or our co-manufacturers or distributors. These disruptions or our failure to effectively respond to them could increase product or distribution costs, prices and potentially affect the availability of our products. • In 2020, a generally stronger U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in which we operate negatively affected our net revenue and net earnings reported in U.S. dollars. In the first six months of 2021, other currencies, such as the euro, British pound sterling and Australian dollar, strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar, which had a favorable effect on net revenues and net earnings. • During the second quarter of 2020 especially, we incurred higher operating costs primarily for labor, customer service and logistics, security, personal protective equipment and cleaning. In the second half of 2020 and first half of 2021, our spending in these areas was significantly less but still above pre-COVID levels. Most other aspects of our global supply chain and operations did not change materially to date. While we have not had material disruptions, we do not know whether or how our supply chain or operations may be negatively affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period or worsens. We intend to continue to execute on our strategic operating plans as the situation evolves. Disruptions, higher operating costs or uncertainties like those noted above could result in delays or modifications to our plans and initiatives. Our Liquidity We believe the steps we have taken to enhance our capital structure and liquidity, prior to and during the pandemic, strengthened our ability to operate during the pandemic: • During both 2020 and 2019, we generated $4.0 billion of cash from operations, or approximately $3 billion each year after deducting capital expenditures. • Within cash provided by other investing activities, in 2021, we received approximately $1 billion of cash proceeds from the sale of KDP shares. We received $185 million of cash proceeds from our participation in the KDP secondary offering during the first quarter of 2020 and $1.9 billion from subsequent KDP share sales over the third and fourth quarters of 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, we received €350 million ($394 million) from our participation in the JDE Peet's public share offerings. (Refer to our Annual 31 Table of Contents Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 6, Equity Method Investments , for additional information). • As of June 30, 2021, we had $1.9 billion, and as of December 31, 2020, we had $3.6 billion, of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Based on our current available cash and access to financing markets, we do not anticipate any issue funding our next long-term debt maturities of approximately $1.5 billion in October 2021, approximately $0.3 billion in December 2021 and approximately $1.2 billion in July 2022. • We also have access to short-term and long-term financing markets and actively utilized these markets in 2020 and the first half of 2021. We continue to utilize the commercial paper markets in the United States and Europe for flexible, low-cost, short-term financing. We issued additional long-term debt several times since the beginning of 2020 due to favorable market conditions and opportunities to shift a portion of our funding mix from short-term to long-term debt at a low cost. We renewed one of our credit facilities during the first quarter of 2021 and now have $7.0 billion of undrawn credit facilities as well as other forms of short-term and long-term financing options available. As of June 30, 2021, we were, and we expect to continue to be, in compliance with our debt covenants (refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section and Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements ). • In connection with various legislatively authorized 2020 tax payment deferral mechanisms available for income tax, indirect tax (such as value-added tax) and payroll tax in a number of jurisdictions, we were able to defer certain of these tax payments in 2020, which provided a cash benefit that reverses when the payments come due. Some of these payments were made in the first half of 2021; the remainder will come due in the second half of 2021 and in 2022. The benefits associated with the deferral of these tax payments were not material to our financial statements. • After suspending our share repurchase program in March 2020 as a precautionary measure following the onset of the pandemic, we resumed the program in the fourth quarter of 2020. Our Financial Position • We continue to evaluate the realizability of our assets and indicators of potential impairment. We reviewed our receivables, inventory, right-of-use lease assets, long-lived assets, equity method and other long-term investments, deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets. • In connection with the ongoing pandemic, we identified a decline in demand for certain of our brands, primarily in the gum category, that prompted additional evaluation of our indefinite-life intangible assets. During the second quarter of 2021, we concluded that one small biscuit brand was impaired and we recorded a $32 million impairment charge. During the second and third quarters of 2020, we concluded that eight brands were impaired and we recorded $144 million of impairment charges in 2020, including $90 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $54 million in the third quarter of 2020. While we did not identify impairment triggers for other brands, there continues to be significant uncertainty due to the pandemic. If brand earnings expectations 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. Refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets , for additional details on our intangible asset impairment evaluation. • Restructuring and implementation activities continued to be in line with our Simplify to Grow Program strategic objectives. • Our equity investments in JDE Peet's and KDP give us additional financial flexibility. • We continue to monitor the quality of our assets and our overall financial position. • We also continue to maintain oversight over our core process controls through our centralized shared service model, with key controls operating as designed. Some of the initial impacts of the pandemic on our business moderated in the second half of 2020 and first half of 2021. While we have seen some improvements in business and economic conditions across many markets in which we do business, additional adverse impacts could arise that we cannot currently anticipate. Barring material business disruptions or other negative developments, we expect to continue to meet the demand of consumers for our snacks, food and beverage products. 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. Also, different markets and parts of our business may also recover from the COVID-19 outbreak at different rates depending on many factors including vaccination levels or new COVID-19 variants and related outbreaks. As we continue to proactively manage our business in response to the evolving impacts of the pandemic, we will continue to communicate with and support our employees and customers; monitor and take steps to further safeguard our supply chain, operations, technology and assets; protect our liquidity and financial position; work toward our strategic priorities and monitor our financial performance. We seek to position the Company to withstand the current uncertainties related to this pandemic and to emerge stronger. 32 Table of Contents KDP and JDE Peet's Equity Method Investment Transactions KDP On June 7, 2021, we participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately 28 million shares, which reduced our ownership interest to 6.4% 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. The cash taxes associated with the KDP share sales are expected to be paid in 2021. 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% to 13.1% 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. Subsequently, on August 3, 2020, we sold approximately 14.1 million shares and on September 9, 2020, we sold approximately 12.5 million shares, which in the aggregate reduced our KDP ownership interest to 11.2% of total outstanding shares. During the third quarter of 2020, we received $777 million of proceeds and recorded pre-tax gains of $335 million (or $258 million after-tax). On November 17, 2020, we also sold approximately 40.0 million shares, which reduced our ownership interest by 2.8% to 8.4%. We received $1,132 million of proceeds and recorded a pretax gain of $459 million (or $350 million after tax) during the fourth quarter of 2020. The cash taxes associated with the KDP share sales were paid in 2020. JDE Peet's During the second quarter of 2020, in connection with the JDE Peet's offering of its ordinary shares, we exchanged our 26.4% ownership interest in JDE for a 26.5% equity interest in JDE Peet’s. On May 29, 2020, we participated in the JDE Peet's offering and, with the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, we sold a total of approximately 11.1 million shares during the second quarter of 2020, retaining a 22.9% ownership interest in JDE Peet's. We received €350 million ($394 million) of total proceeds from the sales of JDE Peet's shares and we recorded a preliminary pre-tax gain of $121 million during the second quarter of 2020. We also incurred a $261 million tax expense that is payable in 2020 and 2021. During the third quarter of 2020, we increased our preliminary gain by $10 million to $131 million. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we reduced our tax expense by $11 million to $250 million. Consistent with our accounting for KDP and in connection with JDE Peet's becoming a public company, during the second quarter of 2020, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of JDE historical results and JDE Peet's ongoing results on a one-quarter lag basis while 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 and to record our share of JDE Peet's ongoing results once JDE Peet's has publicly reported its results. This change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Note 7, Equity Method Investments , and Note 16, Income Taxes ) and Note 6, Equity Method Investments , within this report for additional information. Summary of Results • 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. 33 Table of Contents • 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. Refer to our Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results below for additional information. Organic Net Revenue is on a constant currency basis and excludes revenue from acquisitions and divestitures. 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 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. – Diluted EPS increased during the first six months of 2021, primarily driven by lapping prior-year costs associated with the JDE Peet's transaction, favorable year-over-year mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, an increase in Adjusted EPS, a higher gain on equity method investment transactions, lapping the prior-year loss on interest rate swaps and lower intangible asset impairment charges. 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. We use these measures as they provide improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying results (see the definition of Adjusted EPS and our reconciliation with diluted EPS within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section). Financial Outlook We seek to achieve profitable, long-term growth and manage our business to attain this goal using our key operating metrics: Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS. We use these non-GAAP financial metrics and related computations, particularly growth in profit dollars, to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near- and long-term operating and strategic decisions. As such, we believe these metrics are useful to investors as they provide supplemental information in addition to our U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") financial results. We believe it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that we use internally to make comparisons of our historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and evaluate our business. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures should always be considered in relation to our GAAP results. We have provided reconciliations between our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in Non-GAAP Financial Measures , which appears later in this section. 34 Table of Contents In addition to monitoring our key operating metrics, we monitor developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives, similar to those we highlighted in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and discussed in the footnotes to our financial statements. • Market conditions. Snack categories grew in the first half of 2021 due to increased consumer demand for snacks purchases during the COVID-19 pandemic. As further discussed below, including in Commodity Trends, and in Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk , we continue to monitor volatility in global consumer, commodity, currency and capital markets that may continue until the COVID-19 pandemic is largely resolved. We expect input cost volatility and a higher aggregate cost environment to continue for the remainder of 2021 and while the pandemic and related recovery continue. • COVID-19. As described above, we continue to monitor and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. While its impact is not yet fully known, it has had a material negative effect on the global and local economies and could have a material negative effect on our business and results in the future, particularly if there are significant adverse changes to consumer demand or significant disruptions to the supply, production or distribution of our products or the credit or financial stability of our customers and other business partners. While we have seen some improvements in overall economic conditions and the business climate in many markets where we sell and operate, new COVID-19 variants and spikes in infections continue across a number of markets. If an unexpected significant economic or credit deterioration occurs, it could impair credit availability and our ability to raise capital when needed. A significant disruption in the financial markets may also have a negative effect on our derivative counterparties and could impair our banking or other business partners, on whom we rely for access to capital and as counterparties for a number of our derivative contracts. Any of these and other developments could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We will continue to prioritize the safety of our employees and consumers. As we continue to manage operations during the pandemic, we may continue to incur increased labor, customer service, commodity, transportation and other costs. As consumer demand for our products evolves, we could see continued shifts in product mix that could have a negative impact on results. As discussed in Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability , we are working to mitigate any negative impacts to our business from the COVID-19 outbreak, but we may not be able to fully predict or respond to all impacts on a timely basis to prevent adverse impacts to our results. • Brexit . Following the separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union 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. Our supply chain in this market relies on imports of raw and packaging materials as well as finished goods. To date, we have not experienced significant delays at U.K.-E.U. border crossings. 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 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. • Taxes . We continue to monitor existing and potential future tax reform. During 2019, we recorded the impact of Swiss tax reform and we will continue to monitor for any additional interpretative guidance that could result in changes to the amounts we have recorded. In the United States, while the 2017 U.S. tax reform reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate and included some beneficial provisions, other provisions have, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our results. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information on Swiss and U.S. tax reform. • Argentina . As further discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation – Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting, we continue to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinean subsidiaries. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a remeasurement loss of $8 million within selling, general and administrative expenses related to the revaluation of our Argentinean peso denominated net monetary position. The mix of monetary assets and liabilities and the exchange rate to convert Argentinean pesos to U.S. dollars could change over time, so it is difficult to predict the overall impact of the Argentina highly inflationary accounting on future net earnings. 35 Table of Contents Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results The following table includes significant income or (expense) items that affected the comparability of our results of operations and our effective tax rates.

Developed markets net revenue increased 8.9% and developed markets Organic Net Revenue increased 1.3% (1) . Emerging markets net revenues increased 19.6% and emerging markets Organic Net Revenue increased 16.5% (1) . The underlying changes in net revenues and Organic Net Revenue are detailed below: 2021 Change in net revenues (by percentage point) Total change in net revenues 12.4 % Add back the following items affecting comparability: Favorable currency (5.3) pp Impact of acquisitions (0.9) pp Total change in Organic Net Revenue (1) 6.2 % Favorable volume/mix 4.0 pp Higher net pricing 2.2 pp (1) Please see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section at the end of this item. Net revenue increase of 12.4% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 6.2%, favorable currency and the impact of acquisitions. Overall, our net revenues continued to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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, Mexican peso and South African rand, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Turkish lira and Russian ruble. 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) and the January 4, 2021 acquisition of Hu Master Holdings added incremental net revenues of $8 million.

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. 39 Table of Contents Net Earnings and Earnings per Share Attributable to Mondelēz International – Net earnings attributable to Mondelēz International of $1,078 million increased by $534 million (98.2%) in the second quarter of 2021.

Developed markets net revenue increased 8.9% and developed markets Organic Net Revenue increased 0.8%. Emerging markets net revenues increased 12.0% and emerging markets Organic Net Revenue increased 12.8% (1) .

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 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 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.

Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $82 million from the first six months of 2020. The increase was driven primarily by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.

We note the favorable increase in segment operating income. Three Months Ended June 30: Net revenues increased $158 million (30.9%), due to favorable volume/mix (18.8 pp) and higher net pricing (14.9 pp), partially offset by unfavorable currency (2.8 pp). Favorable volume/mix reflected strong volume growth as the region lapped a weak prior-year quarter impacted by pandemic-related lockdowns. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in chocolate, gum, biscuits and candy, partially offset by declines in cheese & grocery and refreshment beverages. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories, driven primarily by Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies in the region, primarily the Argentinean peso, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso and Brazilian real. Segment operating income increased $60 million, primarily due to higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs (productivity and lower incremental COVID-19 related costs), favorable volume/mix, lower costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program and the favorable impact from the resolution of a tax matter. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs. Six Months Ended June 30: Net revenues increased $101 million (8.2%), due to higher net pricing (12.1 pp) and favorable volume/mix (6.0 pp), partially offset by unfavorable currency (9.9 pp). Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories, driven primarily by Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Favorable volume/mix reflected strong volume growth as the region lapped a weak prior-year period impacted by pandemic-related lockdowns. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in chocolate, biscuits and gum, partially offset by declines in cheese & grocery, refreshment beverages and candy. Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies in the region including the Argentinian peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso. Segment operating income increased $58 million (80.6%), primarily due to higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs (productivity and lower incremental COVID-19 related costs), lower costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, the favorable impact from the resolution of a tax matter and favorable volume/mix. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and unfavorable currency. 46 Table of Contents AMEA For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 $ change % change (in millions) Net revenues $ 1,452 $ 1,237 $ 215 17.4 % Segment operating income 213 171 42 24.6 % For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 $ change % change (in millions) Net revenues $ 3,197 $ 2,739 $ 458 16.7 % Segment operating income 575 405 170 42.0 % Three Months Ended June 30: Net revenues increased $215 million (17.4%), due to favorable currency (8.6 pp), favorable volume/mix (5.1 pp), higher net pricing (1.9 pp) and the impact of an acquisition (1.8 pp).

The April 1, 2021 acquisition of Gourmet Food added incremental net revenues of $23 million (constant currency basis) in the second quarter of 2021. Segment operating income increased $42 million (24.6%), primarily due to lower manufacturing costs (productivity and lower incremental COVID-19 related costs), higher net pricing, favorable currency, favorable volume/mix and lapping prior-year intangible asset impairment charges. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and higher other selling, general and administrative expenses. Six Months Ended June 30: Net revenues increased $458 million (16.7%), due to favorable currency (6.8 pp), favorable volume/mix (6.7 pp), higher net pricing (2.4 pp) and the impact of an acquisition (0.8 pp). Favorable currency impacts were due to the strength of most currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the Australian dollar, Chinese yuan, South African rand, New Zealand dollar and Philippine peso. Favorable volume/mix reflected overall volume gains as the negative impacts from the pandemic that we experienced in the prior-year period subsided across most of the region, though some markets were still challenged. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in chocolate, biscuits, gum and candy, partially offset by declines in refreshment beverages and cheese & grocery. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories. The April 1, 2021 acquisition of Gourmet Food added incremental net revenues of $23 million (constant currency basis) in the first six months of 2021. Segment operating income increased $170 million (42.0%), primarily due to higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs (productivity and lower incremental COVID-19 related costs), favorable volume/mix, favorable currency, lower costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program and lapping prior-year intangible asset impairment charges. These favorable items were partially offset by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs, higher raw material costs and higher other selling, general and administrative expenses. 47 Table of Contents Europe For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 $ change % change (in millions) Net revenues $ 2,474 $ 2,138 $ 336 15.7 % Segment operating income 413 297 116 39.1 % For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 $ change % change (in millions) Net revenues $ 5,321 $ 4,722 $ 599 12.7 % Segment operating income 970 769 201 26.1 % Three Months Ended June 30: Net revenues increased $336 million (15.7%), due to favorable currency (9.3 pp), favorable volume/mix (4.2 pp), higher net pricing (1.2 pp) and the impact of an acquisition (1.0 pp). Favorable currency impacts reflected the strength of most currencies in the region relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling, Swedish krona, Norwegian krone and Polish zloty, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to a few currencies, including the Turkish lira and Russian ruble. Favorable volume/mix was driven by strong volume growth as increased food purchases for in-home consumption continued and 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.

Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by a decline in biscuits, partially offset by gains in gum, candy and chocolate. Segment operating income decreased $125 million (29.5%), primarily due to higher Simplify to Grow Program costs, unfavorable volume/mix, higher raw material costs, higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and the impact of an acquisition.

In light of the ongoing uncertainty related to the COVID-19 outbreak, however, an economic or credit crisis could occur and impair credit availability and our ability to raise capital when needed. A disruption in the financial markets could also impair our banking and other business partners, on whom we rely for access to capital and as counterparties for a number of our derivative contracts. Any of these and other developments could materially harm our access to capital or financial condition. We carry $7.0 billion of undrawn credit facilities, continue to utilize our commercial paper program and international credit lines, and we secured and continue to evaluate long-term debt issuances to meet our short- and longer-term funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. In addition, our publicly-traded investments in KDP and JDEP had a fair value of $7.3 billion as of June 30, 2021 and are available as a source of additional liquidity. In 2020, we sold portions of our stakes in these businesses worth $2.5 billion in total, and in the first half of 2021, we sold an additional $1.0 billion worth of KDP shares. In connection with various legislatively authorized tax payment deferral mechanisms available for income tax, indirect tax (such as value-added tax) and payroll tax in a number of jurisdictions, we were able to defer certain of these tax payments in 2020, which provided a cash benefit that reverses when the cash tax payments become due. Some of these payments were made during the first half of 2021; the remainder will come due in the second half of 2021 and in 2022. The benefits associated with the deferral of these tax payments were not material to our financial statements. Overall, at this time, we do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity; however, if a serious economic or credit market crisis were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,792 million in the first six months of 2021 and $1,558 million in the first six months of 2020. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to higher earnings and lower working capital requirements, partially offset by higher tax payments and lower dividends received from our equity method investments. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $220 million in the first six months of 2021 and $1,037 million in the first six months of 2020. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to higher cash proceeds from the sale of shares in our equity method investments (refer to Note 6, Equity Method Investments ) as well as lower cash expenditures for acquisitions (refer to Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures ). We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities and support new product and productivity initiatives. We expect 2021 capital expenditures to be approximately $1.0 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures with cash from operations. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $3,228 million in the first six months of 2021 and $181 million in the first six months of 2020. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher amounts of net long-term debt repayments in the first six months of 2021, higher share repurchases and higher dividends paid. Debt: From time to time we refinance long-term and short-term debt. Refer to Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements , for details of our debt activity during the first six months of 2021. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of current and expected business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Due to seasonality, in the first and second quarters of the year, our working capital requirements grow, increasing the need for short-term financing. The second half of the year typically generates higher cash flows. As such, we may issue commercial paper or secure other forms of financing throughout the year to meet short-term working capital needs. One of our subsidiaries, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“MIHN”), has outstanding debt. The operations held by MIHN generated approximately 72.7% (or $10.1 billion) of the $13.9 billion of consolidated net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The operations held by MIHN represented approximately 80.8% (or $22.3 billion) of the $27.6 billion of net assets as of June 30, 2021 and 76.2% (or $21.1 billion) of the $27.7 billion of net assets as of December 31, 2020. 50 Table of Contents During December 2020, our Board of Directors approved a new $6.0 billion long-term financing authority to replace the prior $8.0 billion authority. As of June 30, 2021, we had $3.6 billion of long-term financing authority remaining. In the next 12 months, we expect to repay approximately $3.0 billion of maturing long-term debt: $1.5 billion in October 2021, $0.3 billion in December 2021 and $1.2 billion in July 2022. We expect to fund these repayments with cash on hand, as well as short-term and long-term debt. Our total debt was $19.0 billion at June 30, 2021 and $20.0 billion at December 31, 2020. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.41 at June 30, 2021 and 0.42 at December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 8.6 years. Our average daily commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $0.6 billion in the first six months of 2021 and $3.6 billion in the first six months of 2020. We had commercial paper outstanding totaling $13 million as of June 30, 2021 and no commercial paper borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020. We expect to continue to use cash or commercial paper to finance various short-term financing needs. We continue to comply with our debt covenants. Refer to Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements . Commodity Trends We regularly monitor worldwide supply, commodity cost and currency trends so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. During the first six months of 2021, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, as well as increased costs for packaging, sugar, cocoa, oils, grains, nuts and other ingredients costs, partially offset by lower costs for dairy. A number of external factors such as the current COVID-19 global pandemic, weather conditions, commodity market conditions, currency fluctuations and the effects of governmental agricultural or other programs affect the cost and availability of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We address higher commodity costs and currency impacts primarily through hedging, higher pricing and manufacturing and overhead cost control. We use hedging techniques to limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials; however, we may not be able to fully hedge against commodity cost changes, such as dairy, where there is a limited ability to hedge, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. Due to competitive or market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors, our pricing actions may also lag commodity cost changes temporarily. We expect price volatility and a higher aggregate cost environment to continue in the remainder of 2021. While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available from numerous sources. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations See Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements , for information on debt transactions during 2021. There were no other material developments or changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements and aggregate contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Equity and Dividends Stock Plans and Share Repurchases: See Note 11, Stock Plans , to our condensed consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds , for more information on our stock plans, grant activity and share repurchase program for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, our Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases up to $23.7 billion through December 31, 2023. Under this program, we have repurchased approximately $19.5 billion of shares through June 30, 2021 ($1.5 billion in the first six months of 2021, $1.4 billion in 2020, $1.5 billion in 2019, $2.0 billion in 2018, $2.2 billion in 2017, $2.6 billion in 2016, $3.6 billion in 2015, $1.9 billion in 2014 and $2.7 billion in 2013), at a weighted-average cost of $41.51 per share. The number of shares that we ultimately repurchase under our share repurchase program may vary depending on numerous factors, including share price and other market conditions, our ongoing capital allocation planning, levels of cash and debt balances, other demands for cash, such as acquisition activity, general economic or business 51 Table of Contents conditions and Board and management discretion. Additionally, our share repurchase activity during any particular period may fluctuate. We may accelerate, suspend, delay or discontinue our share repurchase program at any time, without notice. Dividends: We paid dividends of $896 million in the first six months of 2021 and $819 million in the first six months of 2020. The second quarter 2021 dividend of $0.315 per share, declared on May 19, 2021 for shareholders of record as of June 30, 2021, was paid on July 14, 2021. On July 27, 2021, the Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share of Class A Common Stock, an increase of 11 percent. This dividend is payable on October 14, 2021, to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2021. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making. We anticipate that the 2021 distributions will be characterized as dividends under U.S. federal income tax rules. The final determination will be made on an IRS Form 1099–DIV issued in early 2022. Significant Accounting Estimates We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.

We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report except as required by applicable law or regulation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed the non-GAAP adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP definitions below. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales and non-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major program financing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures below, and we also discuss our underlying GAAP results throughout our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q. Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When our definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis (1) . 53 Table of Contents • “Organic Net Revenue” is defined as net revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures (2) and currency rate fluctuations (3) . We also evaluate Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and developed markets. • Our emerging markets include our Latin America region in its entirety; the AMEA region, excluding Australia, New Zealand and Japan; and the following countries from the Europe region: Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, the Baltics and the East Adriatic countries. • Our developed markets include the entire North America region, the Europe region excluding the countries included in the emerging markets definition, and Australia, New Zealand and Japan from the AMEA region. • “Adjusted Operating Income” is defined as operating income excluding the impacts of the Simplify to Grow Program (4) ; gains or losses (including non-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture (2) or acquisition gains or losses and related divestiture (2) , acquisition and integration costs (2) ; the operating results of divestitures (2) ; remeasurement of net monetary position (5) ; mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts (6) ; impact from resolution of tax matters (7) ; CEO transition remuneration (8) ; impact from pension participation changes (9) ; initial impacts from enacted tax law changes (10) ; and costs associated with the JDE Peet's transaction. We also present “Adjusted Operating Income margin,” which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income. We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis (3) . • “Adjusted EPS” is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations excluding the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Operating Income definition as well as losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses; gains or losses on equity method investment transactions; net earnings from divestitures (2) ; and gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans. Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, our equity method investment net earnings exclude our proportionate share of our investees’ significant operating and non-operating items (11) . We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis (3) . (1) When items no longer impact our current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, we remove these items from our non-GAAP definitions. In the second quarter of 2021, we added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of initial impacts from enacted tax law changes. Refer to footnote (10) below. (2) Divestitures include completed sales of businesses (including the partial or full sale of an equity method investment) and exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement. As we record our share of KDP and JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any KDP or JDE Peet’s ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within our non-GAAP results the following quarter. See Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures , and Note 6, Equity Method Investments , for information on acquisitions and divestitures impacting the comparability of our results. (3) Constant currency operating results are calculated by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period. (4) Non-GAAP adjustments related to the Simplify to Grow Program reflect costs incurred that relate to the objectives of our program to transform our supply chain network and organizational structure. Costs that do not meet the program objectives are not reflected in the non-GAAP adjustments. (5) During the third quarter of 2018, as we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for Argentina (refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation ), we excluded the remeasurement gains or losses related to remeasuring net monetary assets or liabilities in Argentina during the period to be consistent with our prior accounting for these remeasurement gains/losses for Venezuela when it was subject to highly inflationary accounting prior to deconsolidation in 2015. (6) We exclude unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives from our non-GAAP earnings measures until such time that the related exposures impact our operating results. Since we purchase commodity and forecasted currency transaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, we made this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. We also discontinued designating commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives for hedge accounting treatment. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, we have recast all historical non-GAAP earnings measures to exclude the mark-to-market impacts. (7) Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies – Tax Matters, and Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies – Tax Matters , in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. (8) On November 20, 2017, Dirk Van de Put succeeded Irene Rosenfeld as CEO of Mondelēz International in advance of her retirement at the end of March 2018. In order to incent Mr. Van de Put to join us, we provided him compensation with a total combined target value of $42.5 million to make him whole for incentive awards he forfeited or grants that were not made to him when he left his former employer. The compensation we granted took the form of cash, deferred stock units, performance share units and stock options. In connection with Irene Rosenfeld’s retirement, we made her outstanding grants of performance share units for the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance cycles eligible for continued vesting and approved a $0.5 million salary for her service as Chairman from January through March 2018. We refer to these elements of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s 54 Table of Contents compensation arrangements together as “CEO transition remuneration.” We are excluding amounts we expense as CEO transition remuneration from our non-GAAP results because those amounts are not part of our regular compensation program and are incremental to amounts we would have incurred as ongoing CEO compensation. As a result, in 2017, we excluded amounts expensed for the cash payment to Mr. Van de Put and partial vesting of his equity grants. In 2018, we excluded amounts paid for Ms. Rosenfeld’s service as Chairman and partial vesting of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s equity grants. In 2019, we excluded amounts related to the partial vesting of Mr. Van de Put’s equity grants. During the first quarter of 2020, Mr. Van de Put's equity grants became fully vested. (9) The impact from pension participation changes represents the charges incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans and other changes in employee group pension plan participation. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect our ongoing pension obligations. See Note 10, Benefit Plans , for more information on the multiemployer pension plan withdrawal. (10) We have excluded the initial impacts from enacted tax law changes. Initial impacts include items such as the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and the transition tax from the 2017 U.S. tax reform. Previously, we only excluded the initial impacts from more material tax reforms, specifically the impacts of the 2019 Swiss tax reform and 2017 U.S. tax reform. We exclude initial impacts from enacted tax law changes from our Adjusted EPS as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under the enacted tax law changes. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information on the impact of Swiss and U.S. tax reform. (11) We have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ significant operating and non-operating items such as acquisition and divestiture related costs, restructuring program costs and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes, in order to provide investors with a comparable view of our performance across periods. Although we have shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with our ownership interests in our equity method investees and review the underlying operating results and significant operating and non-operating items each reporting period, we do not have direct control over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses. Our use of equity method investment net earnings on an adjusted basis is not intended to imply that we have any such control. Our GAAP “diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations” includes all of the investees’ significant operating and non-operating items. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Because non-GAAP financial measures vary among companies, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measures. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items detailed below that have an impact on our U.S. GAAP reported results. The best way this limitation can be addressed is by evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported results and carefully evaluating the following tables that reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q. 55 Table of Contents Organic Net Revenue: Applying the definition of “Organic Net Revenue,” the adjustments made to “net revenues” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude the impact of currency and acquisitions. We believe that Organic Net Revenue reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provides improved comparability of results. We also evaluate our Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and developed markets, and these underlying measures are also reconciled to U.S. GAAP below.
