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, 2017.

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. As of the close of the 2015 fiscal year, we deconsolidated and fully impaired our investment in our Venezuelan operations. As such, for all periods presented, we have excluded the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of our Venezuelan subsidiaries from our condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 are carried at cost as there is no readily determinable fair value for the equity interests.

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 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 of June 30, 2018, none of our consolidated subsidiaries were subject to highly inflationary accounting. As discussed below, beginning on July 1, 2018, we expect to apply highly inflationary accounting for our operations in Argentina.

Argentina. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, primarily based on published estimates which indicate that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate has exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina has become a highly inflationary economy. Beginning July 1, 2018, we expect to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries. We will change the functional currency from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar. Local currency monetary assets and liabilities will be remeasured into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the latest balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments and other transaction gains and losses recognized in net earnings. Our Argentinian operations contributed $267 million, or 2.1% of consolidated net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Based on a review of our Argentinian peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, our Argentinian operations had an immaterial net monetary liability position as of June 30, 2018.

Other Countries. Since we sell in approximately 160 countries and have operations in over 80 countries, we monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to these exposures. Some of the countries in which we do business have recently experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty and exchange rate volatility, including Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, United Kingdom (Brexit), Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa and Pakistan. We continue to monitor operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in these countries. At this time, we do not anticipate that these countries are at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition:

We predominantly sell food and beverage products across several product categories and in all regions as detailed in Note 16, Segment Reporting. We recognize revenue when control over the products transfers to our customers, which generally occurs upon delivery or shipment of the products. A small percentage of our net revenues relates to the licensing of our intellectual property, predominantly brand and trade names, and we record these revenues when earned within the period of the license term. We account for product shipping, handling and insurance as fulfillment activities with revenues for these activities recorded within net revenue and costs recorded within cost of sales. Any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from net revenues.

Revenues are recorded net of trade and sales incentives and estimated product returns. Known or expected pricing or revenue adjustments, such as trade discounts, rebates or returns, are estimated at the time of sale. We base these estimates of expected amounts principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. Estimates that affect revenue, such as trade incentives and product returns, are monitored and adjusted each period until the incentives or product returns are realized.

Key sales terms, such as pricing and quantities ordered, are established on a frequent basis such that most customer arrangements and related incentives have a one year or shorter duration. As such, we do not capitalize contract inception costs and we capitalize product fulfillment costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our inventory policies. We generally do not have any unbilled receivables at the end of a period. Deferred revenues are not material and primarily include customer advance payments typically collected a few days before product delivery, at which time deferred revenues are reclassified and recorded as net revenues. We generally do not receive noncash consideration for the sale of goods nor do we grant payment financing terms greater than one year.

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, 2018 and $843 million as of December 31, 2017. 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that requires entities to record share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees at fair value as of adoption date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that permits entities to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 enactment of U.S. tax reform legislation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities and improve disclosures surrounding hedging. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach. Presentation and disclosure requirements related to this ASU are required prospectively. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the standard as of January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, for additional information.

Table of Contents

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on lease accounting. The ASU revises existing U.S. GAAP and outlines a new model for lessors and lessees to use in accounting for lease contracts. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. In the statement of earnings, lessees will classify leases as either operating (resulting in straight-line expense) or financing (resulting in a front-loaded expense pattern). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate adopting the new standard on January 1, 2019. We continue to make progress in our data collection and evaluation of our leasing arrangements, practical expedients, accounting policy elections and implementing our lease accounting system. We completed the initial design of changes to our business processes to meet the new lease accounting and disclosure requirements. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected increase in assets and liabilities on our balance sheet for our operating leases.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that provides updated guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The standard requires that equity investments (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard also impacts financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The ASU outlines a new, single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control over promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from customer contracts, including significant judgments made in recognizing revenue. In 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued several ASUs that clarified principal versus agent (gross versus net) revenue presentation considerations, confirmed the accounting for certain prepaid stored-value products and clarified the guidance for identifying performance obligations within a contract, the accounting for licenses and partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The FASB also issued two ASUs providing technical corrections, narrow scope exceptions and practical expedients to clarify and improve the implementation of the new revenue recognition guidance. The revenue guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis. There was no material financial impact from adopting the new revenue standards in any of the historical periods presented. Refer to the Revenue Recognition section above and Note 16, Segment Reporting, for additional information.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. On January 1, 2018, we adopted an ASU that changed the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement costs on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As a result of this adoption, we disaggregated the components of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs and moved components other than service costs to a new line item, benefit plan non-service income, located below operating income. Prior-period cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and asset impairment and exit costs as well as segment operating income results were updated to reflect the reclassification. All components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs are summarized in Note 10, Benefit Plans.

Note 2. Divestitures and Acquisitions

On June 7, 2018, we acquired a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, within our North America segment and extended our premium biscuit offerings. We paid $528 million, net of cash received, and we expect to finalize the purchase price paid later this year once final working capital adjustments are confirmed. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. We are working to complete the valuation work and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $40 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $170 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $337 million to goodwill, $14 million to property, plant and equipment, $5 million to inventory, $9 million to accounts receivable, $6 million to current liabilities and $41 million to deferred tax liabilities.

On December 28, 2017, we completed the sale of a confectionery business in Japan. We received cash proceeds of ¥2.8 billion ($24 million as of December 28, 2017) and recorded an immaterial pre-tax loss on the divestiture within our AMEA segment.

Table of Contents

On October 2, 2017, we completed the sale of one of our equity method investments and received cash proceeds of $65 million. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $40 million within the gain on equity method investment transactions and $15 million of tax expense.

In connection with the 2012 spin-off of Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (now a part of The Kraft Heinz Company (“KHC”)), Kraft Foods Group and we each granted the other various licenses to use certain trademarks in connection with particular product categories in specified jurisdictions. On August 17, 2017, we entered into two agreements with KHC to terminate the licenses of certain KHC-owned brands used in our grocery business within our Europe region and to transfer to KHC inventory and certain other assets. On August 17, 2017, the first transaction closed and we received cash proceeds of €9 million ($11 million as of August 17, 2017) and on October 23, 2017, the second transaction closed and we received cash proceeds of €2 million ($3 million as of October 23, 2017). The gain on both transactions combined was immaterial.

On July 4, 2017, we completed the sale of most of our grocery business in Australia and New Zealand to Bega Cheese Limited for $456 million Australian dollars ($347 million as of July 4, 2017). We divested $27 million of current assets, $135 million of non-current assets and $4 million of current liabilities based on the July 4, 2017 exchange rate. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $247 million Australian dollars ($187 million as of July 4, 2017) on the sale. During the third and fourth quarters of 2017, we also recorded divestiture-related costs of $2 million and a foreign currency hedge loss of $3 million. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a final $3 million inventory-related working capital adjustment, increasing the pre-tax gain to $190 million in 2017.

On April 28, 2017, we completed the sale of several manufacturing facilities in France and the sale or license of several local confectionery brands. We received cash of approximately €157 million ($169 million as of April 28, 2017), net of cash divested with the businesses. On April 28, 2017, we divested $44 million of current assets, $155 million of non-current assets, $8 million of current liabilities and $22 million of non-current liabilities based on the April 28, 2017 exchange rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we reversed $3 million of accrued expenses no longer required. We also incurred divestiture-related costs of $3 million in the three months and $21 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. We recorded a $3 million loss on the sale during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Divestiture-related costs were recorded within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Europe segment.

Accumulated amortization	(1,464		)	(1,418		)
Intangible assets, net	$	18,362		$	18,639

Non-amortizable intangible assets consist principally of brand names purchased through our acquisitions of Nabisco Holdings Corp., the Spanish and Portuguese operations of United Biscuits, the global LU biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A. and Cadbury Limited. Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $44 million in each of the three months and $88 million in each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $175 million for the next three years and approximately $85 million in years four and five (reflecting June 30, 2018 exchange rates).

Changes in goodwill and intangible assets consisted of:

Changes to goodwill and intangibles were:


•	Acquisition – During the second quarter of 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Tate's Bake Shop, we recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $337 million to goodwill and $210 million to intangible assets. See Note 2, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for additional information.

During our 2017 annual testing of non-amortizable intangible assets, we recorded $70 million of impairment charges in the third quarter of 2017 related to five trademarks recorded across all regions. During that annual review, we identified thirteen brands, including the five impaired trademarks, with $938 million of aggregate book value as of June 30, 2018 that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. We believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to continue to not be impaired, but if the product line 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.

Note 6. Equity Method Investments

Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $6,223 million as of June 30, 2018 and $6,345 million as of December 31, 2017. Our largest investments are in Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”) and Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”).

JDE:

As of June 30, 2018, we held a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.3% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. We recorded JDE equity earnings of $42 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $19 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $88 million in the first six months of 2018 and $38 million in the first six months of 2017. We also recorded $73 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2018 and $49 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2017.

Table of Contents

Keurig:

As of June 30, 2018, we held a 24.2% ownership interest in Keurig. We recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $20 million, $6 million and $2 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $15 million, $6 million and $2 million in the second quarter of 2017. We recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $36 million, $12 million and $5 million in the first six months of 2018 and $29 million, $12 million and $6 million in the first six months of 2017.

Keurig Dr Pepper Transaction:

On July 9, 2018, Keurig closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("Keurig Dr Pepper", NYSE: “KDP”). Following the close of the merger, our ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper was 13.8%. In our third quarter 2018, we expect to record a gain related to the conversion of our investment in Keurig (including our shareholder loan receivable) into an investment in Keurig Dr Pepper. As we will continue to have significant influence, we will continue to account for our investment in Keurig Dr Pepper 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 have nominated two directors to the board of Keurig Dr Pepper and will have certain additional governance rights. In our future filings, we will recast our financial statements and reflect our share of Keurig’s historical results and Keurig Dr Pepper’s ongoing results on a quarter lag basis. A lag will allow us to record our share of Keurig Dr Pepper’s results timely after they have publicly reported their results and to facilitate comparisons of our operating results across all reported periods.

Note 7. 2014-2018 Restructuring Program

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion 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 that now the $5.7 billion program consists of approximately $4.1 billion of restructuring program costs ($3.1 billion cash costs and $1 billion non-cash costs) and up to $1.6 billion of capital expenditures. The primary objective of the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program is intended primarily to cover severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and related implementation charges of $3.6 billion related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. We expect to incur the full $4.1 billion of program charges by year-end 2018.

Restructuring Costs:

We recorded restructuring charges of $112 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $148 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $164 million in the first six months of 2018 and $305 million in the first six months of 2017 within asset impairment and exit costs or benefit plan non-service income. The 2014-2018 Restructuring Program liability activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was:



	Severance and related costs			Asset Write-downs			Total
	(in millions)
Liability balance, January 1, 2018	$	464		$	—		$	464

We spent $82 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $78 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $161 million in the first six months of 2018 and $162 million in the first six months of 2017 in cash severance and related costs. We also recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments totaling $14 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $54 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $39 million in the first six months of 2018 and $126 million in the first six months of 2017. At June 30, 2018, $323 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $81 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 2014-2018 Restructuring 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 $70 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $63 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $132 million in the first six months of 2018 and $117 million in the first six months of 2017. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restructuring and Implementation Costs:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, and since inception of the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, we recorded the following restructuring and implementation costs within segment operating income and earnings before income taxes:

(1)	During 2018 and 2017, our North America region implementation costs included incremental costs that we incurred related to renegotiating collective bargaining agreements that expired in February 2016 for eight U.S. facilities and related to executing business continuity plans for the North America business.

(2)

During the first quarter of 2018, in connection with adopting a new pension cost classification accounting standard, we reclassified certain of our benefit plan component costs other than service costs out of operating income into a new line, benefit plan non-service income, on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As such, we have recast our historical operating income, segment operating income and restructuring and implementation costs by segment to reflect this reclassification, which had no impact to earnings before income taxes or net earnings. The benefit plan non-service income amounts no longer recorded in segment operating income are included within the Corporate column in the table above. The Corporate column also includes minor adjustments for rounding.


(3)	Includes all charges recorded since program inception on May 6, 2014 through June 30, 2018.

Note 8. Debt and Borrowing Arrangements

Short-Term Borrowings:

Our short-term borrowings and related weighted-average interest rates consisted of:



	As of June 30, 2018				As of December 31, 2017
	Amount Outstanding		Weighted- Average Rate		Amount Outstanding		Weighted- Average Rate
	(in millions)				(in millions)
Commercial paper	$	3,900	2.4	%	$	3,410	1.7	%
Bank loans	174		13.4	%	107		11.5	%
Total short-term borrowings	$	4,074			$	3,517

As of June 30, 2018, commercial paper issued and outstanding had between 2 and 172 days remaining to maturity. Commercial paper borrowings increased since year end primarily as a result of issuances to finance the payment of long-term debt maturities, dividend payments and share repurchases during the year.

Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2018 and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2017. Borrowings on these lines were $174 million at June 30, 2018 and $107 million at December 31, 2017.

Borrowing Arrangements:

On April 2, 2018, in connection with the tender offer described below, we entered into a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that is scheduled to expire on April 1, 2019. The agreement includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. On April 17, 2018, we borrowed $714 million on this facility to fund the debt tender described below and availability under the facility was reduced to match the borrowed amount. On May 7, 2018, we repaid the $714 million from the net proceeds received from the May 2018 $2.5 billion long-term debt issuance and terminated this credit facility.

On February 28, 2018, to supplement our commercial paper program, we entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that is scheduled to expire on February 27, 2019. The agreement replaces our previous credit agreement that matured on February 28, 2018 and includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of June 30, 2018, no amounts were drawn on the facility.

We also maintain a $4.5 billion multi-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. On October 14, 2016, the revolving credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on October 11, 2018, was extended through October 11, 2021. 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) and the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles. At June 30, 2018, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders’ equity, as defined by the covenant, was $35.7 billion. The revolving credit facility agreement 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. As of June 30, 2018, no amounts were drawn on the facility.

Long-Term Debt:

On May 3, 2018, we issued $2.5 billion of U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate notes consisting of:


•	$750 million of 3.000% notes that mature in May 2020


•	$750 million of 3.625% notes that mature in May 2023


•	$700 million of 4.125% notes that mature in May 2028


•	$300 million of 4.625% notes that mature in May 2048

On May 7, 2018, we received net proceeds of $2.48 billion that were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement facility and for other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding commercial paper borrowings and other debt. We recorded approximately $22 million of discounts and deferred financing costs net of various fees associated for the bond transaction and underwriter fee reimbursement, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

Table of Contents

On April 17, 2018, we completed a cash tender offer and retired $570 million of the long-term U.S. dollar debt consisting of:


•	$241 million of our 6.500% notes due in February 2040


•	$97.6 million of our 5.375% notes due in February 2020


•	$75.8 million of our 6.500% notes due in November 2031


•	$72.1 million of our 6.875% notes due in February 2038

•	$29.3 million of our 6.875% notes due in January 2039


•	$11.7 million of our 7.000% notes due in August 2037

We financed the repurchase of the notes, including the payment of accrued interest and other costs incurred, from the $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement entered into on April 2, 2018. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $140 million within interest and other expense, net related to the amount we paid to retire the debt in excess of its carrying value and from recognizing unamortized discounts, deferred financing and other cash costs in earnings at the time of the debt extinguishment. Cash costs related to tendering the debt are included in long-term debt repayments in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

On March 2, 2018, we launched an offering of C$600 million of 3.250% Canadian-dollar denominated notes that mature on March 7, 2025. On March 7, 2018, we received C$595 million (or $461 million) of proceeds, net of discounts and underwriting fees, to be used for general corporate purposes. We recorded approximately $4 million of discounts and deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

On February 1, 2018, $478 million of our 6.125% U.S. dollar notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with the issuance of commercial paper and cash on hand.

On January 26, 2018, fr250 million (or $260 million) of our 0.080% Swiss franc notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with the issuance of commercial paper and cash on hand.

Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt was 2.4% as of June 30, 2018, 2.1% as of December 31, 2017 and 2.2% as of December 31, 2016.

Fair Value of Our Debt:

The fair value of our short-term borrowings at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 reflects current market interest rates and approximates the amounts we have recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 valuation data) for the publicly traded debt obligations. At June 30, 2018, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $20,089 million and its carrying value was $19,711 million. At December 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $18,354 million and its carrying value was $17,652 million.

Table of Contents

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. We are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of our open positions, and the margin requirements generally fluctuate daily based on market conditions. In connection with our exchange-traded derivatives, we have recorded margin requirements of $25 million as of June 30, 2018 within accounts payable and margin deposits of $171 million as of December 31, 2017 within other current assets.

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.

We recognized a loss of $5 million in the three months and a gain of $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 in interest and other expense, net related to certain forward-starting interest rate swaps for which the planned timing of the related forecasted debt was changed.

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:


•	cost of sales for currency exchange contracts related to forecasted transactions;


•	cost of sales for commodity contracts; and


•	interest and other expense, net for interest rate contracts and currency exchange contracts related to intercompany loans.

Based on current market conditions, we would expect to transfer gains of less than $1 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, 2018, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 5 years and 4 months.

Fair Value Hedges:

Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations:

Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forwards to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. The aggregate notional value as of June 30, 2018 was $7.1 billion. The after-tax gain on these net investment hedge contracts was recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and was $276 million for the three months and $265 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. There were no after-tax gains/(losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into net earnings in the three or six months ended June 30, 2018. We elected to record changes in the fair value of amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness in net earnings. Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness were $33 million for the three months and $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and were recorded as income in interest and other expense, net.

After-tax gains/(losses) related to hedges of net investments in international operations in the form of euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc and Canadian dollar-denominated debt were recorded within the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and were:

Employer Contributions:

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we contributed $5 million to our U.S. pension plans and $199 million to our non-U.S. pension plans, including $137 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, 2018, over the remainder of 2018, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $34 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $102 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.

Table of Contents

Multiemployer Pension Plans:

In the United States, we contribute to multiemployer pension plans based on obligations arising from our collective bargaining agreements. The most individually significant multiemployer plan we participated in as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2018 was the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (the “Fund”). Our obligation to contribute to the Fund arose with respect to 8 collective bargaining agreements covering most of our employees represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union (“BCTGM”). All of those collective bargaining agreements expired in 2016.

During the second quarter of 2018, we implemented two aspects of our second revised last, best and final offer made to the BCTGM with respect to 7 of the 8 expired collective bargaining agreements. Implementation resulted in our withdrawing from the Fund with respect to those employees covered by the 7 collective bargaining agreements. In connection with that action, we estimated a partial withdrawal liability of $567 million and within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted liability and charge of $408 million, $305 million net of tax, which represents our best estimate of the partial withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We may receive an assessment in 2018 or later, and the ultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability in installments over a period of 20 years from the date of the assessment. We determined the net present value of the liability using a risk-free interest rate. We recorded the pre-tax non-cash charge in selling, general and administrative expense (and in other non-cash items, net in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows) and the liability in long-term other liabilities.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

Net periodic postretirement health care benefit consisted of the following:

(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.

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. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2018, we had repurchased $13.0 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased approximately 27.6 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $41.65 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $1.2 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, 2018, we have $5.5 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Legal Proceedings:

We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.

In February 2013 and March 2014, Cadbury India Limited (now known as Mondelez India Foods Private Limited), a subsidiary of Mondelēz International, and other parties received show cause notices from the Indian Central Excise Authority (the “Excise Authority”) calling upon the parties to demonstrate why the Excise Authority should not collect a total of 3.7 billion Indian rupees ($55 million as of June 30, 2018) of unpaid excise tax and an equivalent amount of penalties, as well as interest, related to production at the same Indian facility. We contested these demands for unpaid excise taxes, penalties and interest. On March 27, 2015, after several hearings, the Commissioner of the Excise Authority issued an order denying the excise exemption that we claimed for the Indian facility and confirming the Excise Authority’s demands for total taxes and penalties in the amount of 5.8 billion Indian rupees ($85 million as of June 30, 2018). We have appealed this order. In addition, the Excise Authority issued additional show cause notices in February 2015, December 2015 and October 2017 on the same issue but covering the periods January to October 2014, November 2014 to September 2015 and October 2015 to June 2017, respectively. These notices added a total of 4.9 billion Indian rupees ($72 million as of June 30, 2018) of unpaid excise taxes as well as penalties to be determined up to an amount equivalent to that claimed by the Excise Authority plus interest. With the implementation of the new Goods and Services Tax in India in July 2017, we will not receive any further show cause notices for additional amounts on this issue. We believe that the decision to claim the excise tax benefit is valid and we are continuing to contest the show cause notices through the administrative and judicial process.

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, 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. Additionally, several class action complaints were filed against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois 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 seek class action certification; an unspecified amount for damages, interest and unjust enrichment; costs and fees; and injunctive, declaratory and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the Northern District of Illinois. 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.

We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business, including those noted above in this section. 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.

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, 2018, 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.

A tax indemnification matter related to our 2007 acquisition of the LU biscuit business was closed during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The closure had no impact on net earnings, however, it did result in a $15 million tax benefit that was fully offset by an $11 million expense in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $4 million expense in interest and other expense, net.

As part of our 2010 Cadbury acquisition, we became the responsible party for tax matters under a February 2, 2006 dated Deed of Tax Covenant between the Cadbury Schweppes PLC and related entities (“Schweppes”) and Black Lion Beverages and related entities. The tax matters included an ongoing transfer pricing case with the Spanish tax authorities related to the Schweppes businesses Cadbury divested prior to our acquisition of Cadbury. During the first quarter of 2017, the Spanish Supreme Court decided the case in our favor. As a result of the final ruling, during the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a favorable earnings impact of $46 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $12 million in interest and other expense, net, for a total pre-tax impact of $58 million due to the non-cash reversal of Cadbury-related accrued liabilities related to this matter. We recorded a total of $4 million of income over the third and fourth quarters of 2017 in connection with the related bank guarantee releases.

Note 14. Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions, including a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 35% to 21%. In addition to the tax rate reduction, the legislation establishes new provisions that affect our 2018 results, including but not limited to, the creation of a new minimum tax called the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT); a new provision that taxes U.S. allocated expenses (e.g. interest and general administrative expenses) as well as currently taxes certain income from foreign operations (Global Intangible Low-Tax Income, or “GILTI”); a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; a new limitation on deductible interest expense; the repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction; and limitations on the deductibility of certain employee compensation.

Certain impacts of the new legislation would have generally required accounting to be completed in the period of enactment, however in response to the complexities of this new legislation, the SEC issued guidance to provide companies with relief. The SEC provided up to a one-year window for companies to finalize the accounting for the impacts of this new legislation and we anticipate finalizing our accounting during 2018. While our accounting for the enactment of the new U.S. tax legislation is not complete, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an additional $2 million discrete net tax benefit, consisting of an $8 million decrease in our transition tax liability that was partially offset by $6 million of costs from other provisional tax reform updates. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $87 million in discrete net tax costs primarily comprised of an increase to our transition tax liability of $86 million as a result of additional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities, new state legislation enacted during the period and further refinement of various components of the underlying calculations.

Based on current tax laws, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018, excluding discrete tax impacts, is 21.9%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions and the reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate, partially offset by unfavorable provisions within the new U.S. tax reform legislation. Our 2018 second quarter effective tax rate of 5.6% was favorably impacted by a discrete net tax benefit of $32 million. The discrete net tax benefit primarily consisted of $27 million benefit from the release of 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, 2018 of 22.8% was unfavorably impacted by net tax expense of $14 million from discrete one-time events. The discrete net tax expense primarily consisted of $86 million of additional transition tax liability recognized as an adjustment to the prior provisional estimate, offset by $43 million benefit from the release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in various jurisdictions and a $22 million benefit related to pending Argentinean refund claims.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2017, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2017, excluding discrete tax impacts, was 25.8%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, partially offset by an increase in domestic earnings. Our 2017 second quarter effective tax rate of 16.2% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $47 million of discrete one-time events. The discrete net tax benefits primarily consisted of a $46 million benefit from release of 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, 2017 of 19.2% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits of $83 million from discrete one-time events. The discrete net tax benefits primarily consisted of a $62 million benefit from the release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in various jurisdictions and a $16 million benefit relating to the U.S. domestic production activities deduction.

We exclude antidilutive Mondelēz International stock options from our calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS. We excluded antidilutive stock options of 12.7 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 8.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 and 11.2 million in the first six months of 2018 and 7.7 million in the first six months of 2017.

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 in our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.

We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. 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) and amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. We exclude these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Furthermore, we centrally manage benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

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

Description of the Company

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 have operations in more than 80 countries and sell our products in approximately 160 countries.

We aim to deliver strong, profitable long-term growth by accelerating our core snacks business and expanding the reach of our Power Brands globally. To fuel investments in our Power Brands and global and digital reach, we have been working to optimize our cost structure. These efforts include reinventing our supply chain operations and aggressively managing overhead costs. Through these actions, we’re leveraging our brands, platforms and capabilities to drive long-term value and return on investment for our shareholders.

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions, including but not limited to a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as well as provisions that limit or eliminate various deductions or credits. The legislation also causes U.S. allocated expenses (e.g. interest and general administrative expenses) to be taxed and imposes a new tax on U.S. cross-border payments. Furthermore, the legislation includes a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and profits.

While our accounting for the enactment of the new U.S. tax legislation is not complete, we have recorded an additional $2 million discrete net tax benefit in the second quarter of 2018 consisting of an $8 million decrease in our transition tax liability that was partially offset by $6 million costs from other provisional tax reform updates. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018 is 21.9%, which includes the new provisions of the legislation that are effective for the 2018 tax year but excludes discrete tax items such as the updates to the transition tax liability and the impacts of audit settlements.

2017 Malware Incident

On June 27, 2017, a global malware incident impacted our business. The malware affected a significant portion of our global sales, distribution and financial networks. In the last four days of the second quarter and during the third quarter of 2017, we executed business continuity and contingency plans to contain the impact, minimize damages and restore our systems environment. To date, we have not found, nor do we expect to find, any instances of Company or personal data released externally. We have also restored our main operating systems and processes and enhanced our system security.

For the second quarter of 2017, we estimated that the malware incident had a negative impact of 2.3% on our net revenue growth and 2.4% on our Organic Net Revenue growth. We also incurred incremental expenses of $7 million as a result of the incident. We recognized the majority of delayed second quarter shipments in our third quarter 2017 results, although we permanently lost some revenue. On a 2017 full-year basis, we estimated the loss of revenue had a negative impact of 0.4% on our net revenue and Organic Net Revenue growth. We also incurred total incremental expenses of $84 million predominantly during the second half of 2017 as part of the recovery effort. The recovery from the incident was largely resolved by December 31, 2017 and we continued efforts to strengthen our security measures and further mitigate cybersecurity risks.

Summary of Results

•

Net revenues increased 2.1% to $6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 3.8% to $12.9 billion in the first six months of 2018 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. During the second quarter and first six months of 2018, net revenues grew due to favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume/mix was in part due to the lapping of last year's malware incident. Net revenues also were positively affected by favorable currency translation as the U.S. dollar weakened against several currencies in which we operate compared to exchange rates in the prior year. Net revenue growth was partially offset by the impact of several prior-year business divestitures, which reduced revenues in 2018 as compared to the prior year.

•

Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 3.5% to $6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 2.9% to $12.5 billion in the first six months of 2018 as compared to same periods in the prior year. During the second quarter and first six months of 2018, Organic Net Revenue increased as a result of favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume/mix was in part due to the lapping of last year's malware incident. Refer to our Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results, including the Results of Operations by Reportable Segment 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 decreased 31.3% to $0.22 in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 15.1% to $0.84 in the first six months of 2018 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The diluted EPS decline in the second quarter of 2018 was driven by the impact of pension participation changes and the loss on debt extinguishment, partially offset by favorable mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, operating gains and share repurchases. The diluted EPS increase during the first six months of 2018 was driven by favorable mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, operating gains and share repurchases partially offset by the impact from pension participation changes and the loss on debt extinguishment.

•

Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 16.7% to $0.56 in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 17.0% to $1.17 in the first six months of 2018 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 14.6% to $0.55 in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 12.0% to $1.12 in the first six months of of 2018 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. For the second quarter and first six months of 2018, operating gains and lower shares outstanding were significant drivers of the growth. 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, such as margins, internally 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. GAAP financial results. We believe providing investors with the same financial information that we use internally ensures that investors have the same data to make comparisons of our historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and gain additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures should always be considered in relation to our GAAP results, and we have provided reconciliations between our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in Non-GAAP Financial Measures, which appears later in this section.

In addition to monitoring our key operating metrics, we monitor developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives, similar to those we highlighted in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.


•	Market conditions. Snack categories grew in the second quarter of 2018 and volatility in the global currency and commodity markets continued.

•

Argentina, Brexit and currency volatility. During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates which indicate that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate has exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina has become a highly inflationary economy. Beginning July 1, 2018, we expect to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries. Our Argentinian operations contributed $267 million, or 2.1% of consolidated net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Based on a review of our Argentinian peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, our Argentinian operations had an immaterial net monetary liability position as of June 30, 2018. Having a net monetary liability position may mitigate our risk of unfavorable impacts from any further currency devaluations, however, the mix of assets and liabilities or other factors could change, so it is difficult to predict the overall impact of the highly inflationary accounting on net earnings. We also continue to monitor the U.K. planned exit from the European Union (Brexit) and its impact on our results as well as currencies at risk of devaluation.

•

Collective bargaining agreements. During the second quarter of 2018, we implemented two aspects of our second revised last, best and final offer made to the BCTGM, resulting in our withdrawing from the Fund with respect to the employees covered by the 7 of the 8 collective bargaining agreements. We estimated a partial withdrawal liability of $567 million and within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted liability and charge of $408 million, $305 million net of tax, which represents our best estimate of the partial withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We may receive an assessment in 2018 or later, and the ultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability in installments over a period of 20 years from the assessment date.

•

U.S. tax reform. While the 2017 U.S. tax reform reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate and included some beneficial provisions, other provisions could have an adverse effect on our results. Specifically, new provisions that cause U.S. allocated expenses (e.g. interest and general administrative expenses) to be taxed and impose a tax on U.S. cross-border payments could adversely impact our effective tax rate. We continue to evaluate the impacts as additional guidance on implementing the legislation becomes available.


•	Net investment hedge contracts. In 2018, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $7.1 billion to hedge our non-U.S. net investments against movements in exchange rates. We expect this hedging to reduce volatility in some of our financing costs and related currency impacts within our interest costs.

•

Keurig Dr Pepper transaction. On July 9, 2018, Keurig closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("Keurig Dr Pepper", NYSE: “KDP”). Following the close of the merger, our ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper was 13.8%. In our third quarter 2018, we expect to record a gain related to the conversion of our investment in Keurig (including our shareholder loan receivable) into an investment in Keurig Dr Pepper. Also, in our future filings, we will recast our financial statements and reflect our share of Keurig’s historical results and Keurig Dr Pepper’s ongoing results on a quarter lag basis.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussion compares our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Three Months Ended June 30:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017		$ change			% change
	(in millions, except per share data)
Net revenues	$	6,112	$	5,986	$	126		2.1	%
Operating income	481		636		(155		)	(24.4	)%

Net Revenues – Net revenues increased $126 million (2.1%) to $6,112 million in the second quarter of 2018, and Organic Net Revenue ⁽¹⁾ increased $203 million (3.5%) to $6,079 million. Power Brands net revenues increased 5.2%, including a favorable currency impact, and Power Brands Organic Net Revenue increased 4.7%. Emerging markets net revenues increased 0.2%, including an unfavorable currency impact, and emerging markets Organic Net Revenue increased 4.7%. The underlying changes in net revenues and Organic Net Revenue are detailed below:



	2018
Change in net revenues (by percentage point)
Total change in net revenues	2.1	%
Add back the following items affecting comparability:
Favorable currency	(0.4	)pp
Impact of acquisition	(0.1	)pp
Impact of divestitures	1.9	pp
Total change in Organic Net Revenue ⁽¹⁾	3.5	%
Favorable volume/mix	2.1	pp
Higher net pricing	1.4	pp


(1)	Please see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section at the end of this item.

Net revenue increase of 2.1% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 3.5%, favorable currency and the impact of an acquisition, partially offset by the impact of divestitures. Our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume/mix included the benefit from lapping last year's malware incident, partially offset by the unfavorable impacts from the Brazil trucking strike and the shift of Easter-related shipments into the first quarter of 2018. Favorable volume/mix was reflected in North America and Europe, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in Latin America and AMEA. Net pricing was up, which includes the benefit of carryover pricing from 2017 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during 2018. Higher net pricing was reflected in Latin America, AMEA and North America, partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe. Favorable currency impacts increased net revenues by $26 million, due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling and Chinese yuan, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several other currencies, including the Argentinian peso, Brazilian real and Russian ruble. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $7 million in the second quarter of 2018. The impact of divestitures that occurred in 2017 resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $110 million. Refer to Note 2, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for additional information.

During the second quarter of 2018, we realized higher net pricing, which was partially offset by increased input costs. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2017 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during 2018, was driven by Latin America, AMEA and North America, partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, primarily higher dairy, packaging, energy and oils costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs due to productivity efforts. Favorable volume/mix was driven by North America and Europe, which was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in AMEA and Latin America.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $449 million from the second quarter of 2017, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, the impact from pension participation changes, a prior-year property insurance recovery, acquisition-related costs, the impact from the resolution of a tax matter, CEO transition remuneration and unfavorable currency impact. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $19 million from the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and lower overhead costs.

Favorable currency changes increased operating income by $10 million due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling and Chinese yuan, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinian peso, Brazilian real and Russian ruble.

Operating income margin decreased from 10.6% in the second quarter of 2017 to 7.9% in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in operating income margin was driven primarily by the impact from pension participation changes, acquisition-related costs and the impact of prior-year divestitures, partially offset by the year-over-year favorable change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities, an increase in our Adjusted Operating Income margin, the absence of intangible asset impairment charges and lower 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 15.4% in the second quarter of 2017 to 16.7% in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income margin was driven primarily by lower manufacturing costs, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and overhead leverage.

Net revenue increase of 3.8% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 2.9%, favorable currency and the impact of an acquisition, partially offset by the impact of divestitures. Our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume mix included the benefit from lapping last year's malware incident, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from the Brazil trucking strike. Favorable volume/mix was reflected in Europe, North America and AMEA, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in Latin America. Net pricing was up, which includes the benefit of carryover pricing from 2017 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during 2018. Higher net pricing was reflected in Latin America and AMEA, partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe. Favorable currency impacts increased net revenues by $363 million, due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling and Chinese yuan, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several other currencies, including the Argentinian peso and Brazilian real. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $7 million in the first six months of 2018. The impact of divestitures that occurred in 2017 resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $246 million. Refer to Note 2, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for additional information.

During the first six months of 2018, we realized modestly higher net pricing, which was mostly offset by increased input costs. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2017 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during 2018, was driven by Latin America and AMEA, partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, primarily higher dairy, packaging, energy, oils and grain costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs due to productivity efforts. Favorable volume/mix was driven by Europe and North America, which was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in Latin America and AMEA.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $493 million from the first six months of 2017, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, the impact from pension participation changes, unfavorable currency impact, impacts from the resolution of tax matters, a prior-year property insurance recovery, acquisition-related costs and CEO transition remuneration. The increases were partially offset by lower divestiture-related costs, a value-added tax (“VAT”) related settlement in 2018 and lower implementation costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $39 million from the first six months of 2017. The decrease was driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs.

We recorded a benefit of $21 million from a VAT-related settlement in Latin America in the first six months of 2018. Favorable currency changes increased operating income by $79 million due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling and Chinese yuan, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinian peso and Brazilian real.

Operating income margin increased from 11.8% in the first six months of 2017 to 13.2% in the first six months of 2018. The increase in operating income margin was driven primarily by the year-over-year favorable change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities, lower 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs, an increase in our Adjusted Operating Income margin, the absence of intangible asset impairment charges and lower divestiture-related costs, partially offset by the impact from pension participation changes, a prior-year impact from the resolution of a tax matter and the impact of prior-year divestitures. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 16.0% in the first six months of 2017 to 16.7% in the first six months of 2018. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income margin was driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and overhead leverage.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $74 million (8.7%), due to unfavorable currency (12.5 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (2.3 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (6.1 pp). Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Argentinean peso, Brazilian real and Mexican peso. Unfavorable volume/mix was largely due to the negative impact of the Brazil trucking strike, partially offset by lapping last year's malware incident. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in all categories except biscuits. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories, driven primarily by Argentina, Mexico and Brazil.

Segment operating income decreased $10 million (9.8%), primarily due to higher raw material costs, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses, unfavorable volume/mix, unfavorable currency and higher costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. These unfavorable items were partially offset by higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs and lower advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $93 million (5.3%), due to unfavorable currency (8.3 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (3.1 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (6.1 pp). Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Argentinean peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by the strength of several currencies in the region relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso. Unfavorable volume/mix was largely due to the negative impact of the Brazil trucking strike, partially offset by lapping last year's malware incident. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in all categories except biscuits. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories, driven primarily by Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.

Segment operating income increased $5 million (2.3%), primarily due to higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs and lower advertising and consumer promotion costs. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, unfavorable volume/mix, unfavorable currency, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses (net of the benefit from a VAT-related settlement in 2018) and higher costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program.

The impact of divestitures, primarily related to the grocery & cheese business in Australia and New Zealand that was divested on July 4, 2017, resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $66 million for the second quarter of 2018. Unfavorable volume/mix, including the impact of the shift of Easter-related shipments into the first quarter, was driven by declines in refreshment beverages, cheese & grocery and candy, partially offset by gains in biscuits, chocolate and gum. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories. Favorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of several currencies in the region relative to the U.S. dollar, including the Chinese yuan, South African rand and Australian dollar, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies in the region, including the Indian rupee, Philippine peso and Nigerian naira.

Segment operating income increased $16 million (9.9%), primarily due to higher net pricing, lower costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, lower manufacturing costs, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and favorable currency. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses (including the lapping of a prior-year property insurance recovery), unfavorable volume/mix and the impact of divestitures.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $17 million (0.6%), due to favorable currency (2.4 pp), higher net pricing (1.9 pp) and favorable volume/mix (0.8 pp), partially offset by the impact of divestitures (4.5 pp). Favorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of several currencies in the region relative to the U.S. dollar, including the Chinese yuan, South African rand and Australian dollar, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies in the region, including the Nigerian naira and Philippine peso. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories except gum. Favorable volume/mix, including the shift of Chinese New Year into the first quarter of 2018, was driven by gains in chocolate, biscuits and gum, partially offset by declines in refreshment beverages, cheese & grocery and candy. The impact of divestitures, primarily related to the grocery & cheese business in Australia and New Zealand that was divested on July 4, 2017, resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $125 million for the first six months of 2018.

Segment operating income increased $63 million (18.4%), primarily due to higher net pricing, lower costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, lower manufacturing costs and favorable currency. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, the impact of divestitures, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses (including the lapping of a prior-year property insurance recovery) and unfavorable volume/mix.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $132 million (6.1%), due to favorable currency (5.5 pp) and favorable volume/mix (3.5 pp), partially offset by the impact of divestitures (2.2 pp) and lower net pricing (0.7 pp). Favorable currency impacts reflected the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, British pound sterling, Polish zloty and Czech koruna. Favorable volume/mix included the benefit from lapping last year's malware incident partially offset by the shift of Easter-related shipments into the first quarter of 2018. Favorable volume/mix was driven by chocolate, biscuits and candy, partially offset by declines in cheese & grocery, gum and refreshment beverages. The impact of divestitures, primarily due to the sale of a confectionery business in France, resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $44 million for the second quarter of 2018. Lower net pricing was driven by biscuits, chocolate, gum and refreshment beverages, partially offset by higher net pricing in cheese & grocery and candy.

Segment operating income increased $46 million (14.3%), primarily due to favorable volume/mix, lower manufacturing costs and favorable currency. These favorable items were partially offset by lower net pricing, the impact of divestitures, higher costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $473 million (10.4%), due to favorable currency (9.7 pp) and favorable volume/mix (4.6 pp), partially offset by the impact of divestitures (3.1 pp) and lower net pricing (0.8 pp).

Favorable volume/mix was driven by chocolate, biscuits and candy, partially offset by declines in cheese & grocery, gum and refreshment beverages. The impact of divestitures, primarily due to the sale of a confectionery business in France, resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $121 million for the first six months of 2018. Lower net pricing was driven by chocolate, biscuits and gum, partially offset by higher net pricing in cheese & grocery, candy and refreshment beverages.

Segment operating income increased $150 million (21.0%), primarily due to favorable volume/mix, favorable currency, lower manufacturing costs, lower costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program and lower divestiture-related costs. These favorable items were partially offset by lapping the prior-year benefit from the settlement of a Cadbury tax matter, higher raw material costs, lower net pricing, the impact of divestitures and higher other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $102 million (6.5%), due to favorable volume/mix (5.1 pp), higher net pricing (0.6 pp), favorable currency (0.4 pp) and the impact of an acquisition (0.4 pp). Favorable volume/mix included the benefit from lapping last year's malware incident partially offset by the shift of Easter-related shipments into the first quarter of 2018. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in biscuits and candy, partially offset by declines in gum and chocolate. Higher net pricing was reflected in biscuits and gum, partially offset by lower net pricing in candy and chocolate. Favorable currency impact was due to the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $7 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Segment operating income decreased $320 million (142.2%), primarily due to the impact from pension participation changes and higher manufacturing costs. These unfavorable items were partially offset by favorable volume/mix, the lapping of prior-year intangible asset impairment charges, higher net pricing, lower raw material costs and lower advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $80 million (2.5%), due to favorable volume/mix (1.9 pp), favorable currency (0.4 pp) and the impact of an acquisition (0.2 pp), while net pricing was flat. Favorable volume/mix included the benefit from lapping last year's malware incident. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in biscuits and candy, partially offset by declines in gum and chocolate. Favorable currency impact was due to the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $7 million in the first six months of 2018. Net pricing was flat as higher net pricing in gum was offset by lower net pricing in chocolate, candy and biscuits.

Segment operating income decreased $337 million (65.2%), primarily due to the impact from pension participation changes and higher manufacturing costs. These unfavorable items were partially offset by the lapping of prior-year intangible asset impairment charges, lower raw material costs, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, lower costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, favorable volume/mix and lower other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that cash from operations, our revolving credit facilities and our authorized long-term financing will provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, future contractual obligations, share repurchases, transition tax liability on our historical accumulated foreign earnings due to the U.S. tax reform and payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends. We continue to utilize our commercial paper program, international credit lines and long-term debt issuances for our funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,182 million in the first six months of 2018 and $262 million in the first six months of 2017. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to higher net earnings, improved working capital trends as well as lower pension contributions in the first six months of 2018 than in the first six months of 2017.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,041 million in the first six months of 2018 and $286 million in the first six months of 2017. The increase in net cash used in investing activities primarily relates to $528 million paid to acquire the Tate's Bake Shop business in the second quarter of 2018, the absence of proceeds from divestitures received in the prior year and higher capital expenditures of $532 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to $488 million in the first six months of 2017. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities and support new product and productivity initiatives. We expect 2018 capital expenditures to be up to $1.0 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures from operations.

Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities was $389 million in the first six months of 2018 and net cash used in financing activities was $376 million in the first six months of 2017. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to higher net debt issuances partially offset by higher share repurchases and 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 2018. 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.

During 2016, one of our subsidiaries, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“MIHN”), issued debt totaling $4.5 billion. The operations held by MIHN generated approximately 74.4% (or $9.6 billion) of the $12.9 billion of consolidated net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The operations held by MIHN represented approximately 79.1% (or $20.0 billion) of the $25.3 billion of net assets as of June 30, 2018 and 75.5% (or $19.8 billion) of the $26.2 billion of net assets as of December 31, 2017.

On February 3, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a new $5.0 billion long-term financing authority to replace the prior authority. As of June 30, 2018, we had $1.7 billion of long-term financing authority remaining.

In the next 12 months, we expect approximately $780 million of long-term debt will mature as follows: £76 million ($100 million as of June 30, 2018) in July 2018, $280 million in August 2018 and $400 million in February 2019. We expect to fund these repayments with a combination of cash from operations and the issuance of commercial paper or long-term debt.

Our total debt was $19.7 billion at June 30, 2018 and $17.7 billion at December 31, 2017. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.44 at June 30, 2018 and 0.40 at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 6.1 years. Our average daily commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $4.6 billion in the first six months of 2018 and $4.2 billion in the first six months of 2017. We had commercial paper

Table of Contents

outstanding totaling totaling $3.9 billion as of June 30, 2018 and $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2017. We expect to continue to use 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, for more information on our debt and debt covenants.

Commodity Trends

We regularly monitor worldwide supply, commodity cost and currency trends so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. During the first six months of 2018, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were increased costs for dairy, packaging, energy, grains & oils and other raw materials, partially offset by lower costs for cocoa, sugar and nuts.

A number of external factors such as 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 slightly higher aggregate cost environment to continue in 2018. 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 2018, Note 10, Benefit Plans, for information on the long-term multiemployer pension plan partial withdrawal liability and Note 14, Income Taxes, for updates on the U.S. tax reform transition liability. There were no other material 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, 2017. We expect to have sufficient cash from operating activities and access to capital markets to fund our obligations. See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for a discussion of guarantees.

Equity and Dividends

Stock Plans and Share Repurchases:

See Note 11, Stock Plans, for more information on our stock plans, grant activity and share repurchase program for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

We intend to continue to use a portion of our cash for share repurchases. 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.

We repurchased shares at an aggregate cost of $14.2 billion, at a weighted-average cost of $39.08 per share, through June 30, 2018 ($1.2 billion in the first six months of 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). 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 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.

Table of Contents

Dividends:

We paid dividends of $657 million in the first six months of 2018 and $581 million in the first six months of 2017. On July 25, 2018, the Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share of Class A Common Stock, an increase of 18 percent, which would be $1.04 per common share on an annualized basis. This dividend is payable on October 12, 2018, to shareholders of record as of September 28, 2018. 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 2018 distributions will be characterized as dividends under U.S. federal income tax rules. The final determination will be made after the 2018 year–end and reflected on an IRS Form 1099–DIV issued in early 2019.

Significant Accounting Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

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⁾.


•	“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 our Power Brands.

•

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, Belarus, 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.)


•	Our Power Brands include some of our largest global and regional brands such as Oreo, Chips Ahoy!, Ritz, TUC/Club Social and belVita biscuits; Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka and Lacta chocolate; Trident gum; Halls candy; and Tang powdered beverages.

•

“Adjusted Operating Income” is defined as operating income excluding the impacts of the 2014-2018 Restructuring 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⁾; mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts ⁽⁵⁾; impact from resolution of tax matters ⁽⁶⁾; CEO transition remuneration ^(7);impact from pension participation changes ⁽⁸⁾; and incremental expenses related to the 2017 malware incident. 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; gain on the equity method investment transactions; net earnings from divestitures ⁽²⁾; gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans and U.S. tax reform discrete impacts ⁽⁹⁾. Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, our equity method investment net earnings exclude our proportionate share of our investees’ unusual or infrequent items ⁽¹⁰⁾. 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. During the second quarter of 2018, we added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of the impact from pension participation changes - see footnote (8) below.


(2)	Divestitures include completed sales of businesses and exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement. See Note 2, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for information on divestitures and acquisitions impacting the comparability of our results.

Table of Contents

(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 2014-2018 Restructuring 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 2016, we began to 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.


(6)	See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies – Tax Matters, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional information.

(7)

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 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.

(8)

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 partial withdrawal.

(9)

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions. As further detailed in Note 14, Income Taxes, our accounting for the new legislation is not complete and we have made reasonable estimates for some tax provisions. We exclude the discrete U.S. tax reform impacts from our Adjusted EPS as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under U.S. tax reform.

(10)

We have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ unusual or infrequent items such as acquisition and divestiture related costs, restructuring program costs and discrete U.S. tax reform impacts, 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 unusual or infrequent items with them 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’ unusual and infrequent 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 measure. 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.

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, an acquisition and divestitures. 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 Power Brands, and these underlying measures are also reconciled to U.S. GAAP below.

Each year we reevaluate our Power Brands and confirm the brands in which we will continue to make disproportionate investments. As such, we may make changes in our planned investments in primarily regional Power Brands following our annual review cycles. For 2018, we made limited changes to our list of regional Power Brands and as such, we reclassified 2017 Power Brand net revenues on a basis consistent with the current list of Power Brands.

Adjusted Operating Income:

Applying the definition of “Adjusted Operating Income”, the adjustments made to “operating income” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs; intangible asset impairment charges, mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts; malware incident incremental expenses, acquisition integration costs; acquisition-related costs; divestiture-related costs; the operating results of divestitures; loss on divestiture; the impact from pension participation changes; the impact from the resolution of tax matters; and CEO transition remuneration. We also evaluate Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis. We believe these measures provide improved comparability of underlying operating results.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As we operate globally, we are primarily exposed to currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. We principally utilize derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. For additional information on our derivative activity and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our currency exchange, commodity price and interest rate exposures, see Note 9, Financial Instruments.

Many of our non-U.S. subsidiaries operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates create volatility in our reported results as we translate the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of these subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting purposes. The translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated balance sheets and statements of earnings of our subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting generally results in a cumulative translation adjustment to other comprehensive income within equity. A stronger U.S. dollar relative to other functional currencies adversely affects our consolidated earnings and net assets while a weaker U.S. dollar benefits our consolidated earnings and net assets. While we hedge significant forecasted currency exchange transactions as well as certain net assets of non-U.S. operations and other currency impacts, we cannot fully predict or eliminate volatility arising from changes in currency exchange rates on our consolidated financial results. See Consolidated Results of Operations and Results of Operations by Reportable Segment under Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results for currency exchange effects on our financial results during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For additional information on highly inflationary country currencies and the impact of currency policies and recent currency volatility on our financial condition and results of operations, also see Note 1, Basis of Presentation – Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting.

We also continually monitor the market for commodities that we use in our products. Input costs may fluctuate widely due to international demand, weather conditions, government policy and regulation and unforeseen conditions. To manage input cost volatility, we enter into forward purchase agreements and other derivative financial instruments. We also pursue productivity and cost saving measures and take pricing actions when necessary to mitigate the impact of higher input costs on earnings.

We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt as well as current and expected interest rates in the markets in which we raise capital. Our primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates, corporate credit spreads, London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”) and commercial paper rates. We periodically use interest rate swaps and forward interest rate contracts to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt based on current and projected market conditions. Our weighted-average interest rate on total debt was 2.4% as of June 30, 2018 and 2.1% as of December 31, 2017. For more information on our 2018 debt activity, see Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.

See Note 9, Financial Instruments, for more information on our 2018 derivative activity. For additional information on our hedging strategies, policies and practices on an ongoing basis, also refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. We continued to work with outsourced partners to further simplify and standardize processes and focus on scalable, transactional processes across all regions. We continued to transition some of our transactional data processing as well as financial and contract management services for a number of countries across all regions to outsourced partners. Pursuant to our service agreements, the controls previously established around these accounting functions will be maintained by our outsourced partners or by us, and they are subject to management’s internal control testing. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
