Basis of Presentation

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. Net revenues and net earnings for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.

We derived the condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016 from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. You should read these statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuela subsidiaries. See Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting: Venezuela below for more information. During consolidation, intercompany transactions are eliminated. For any subsidiaries that we do not wholly own, we record a noncontrolling interest and the noncontrolling interest’s share in the results of the subsidiary that we control and, as such, consolidate.

We account for investments in which we exercise significant influence (20%-50% ownership interest) under the equity method of accounting. We use the cost method of accounting for investments in which we have an ownership interest of less than 20% and in which we do not exercise significant influence.

Segment Change:

On October 1, 2016, we integrated our Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EEMEA”) operating segment into our Europe and Asia Pacific operating segments to further leverage and optimize the operating scale built within the Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Belarus, Georgia and Kazakhstan were combined within our Europe region, while the remaining Middle East and African countries were combined within our Asia Pacific region to form a new Asia, Middle East and Africa (“AMEA”) operating segment. We have reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in all periods presented.

As of October 1, 2016, our operations and management structure were organized into four reportable operating segments:

•

Latin America

•

AMEA

•

Europe

•

North America

See Note 15, Segment Reporting, for additional information on our segments.

Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting:

We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings. As of March 31, 2017, none of our consolidated subsidiaries were subject to highly inflationary accounting.

United Kingdom. On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) voted by referendum to exit the European Union (the vote is commonly referred to as “Brexit”). On March 29, 2017, the U.K. invoked E.U. Article 50, which is the first step of the formal exit. This starts the two-year window in which the U.K. and the European Commission can negotiate future terms for imports, exports, taxes, employment, immigration and other areas, ending in the exit of the U.K. from the European Union.

Brexit has caused volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rates, affecting the markets in which we operate. The implications of Brexit could adversely affect demand for our products, our financial results and operations, and our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees in the short or long-term. The value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar fell by 9% on June 24, 2016 and declined an additional 11% in 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, the value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar increased 2%. Further volatility in the exchange rate is expected over the transition period.

As the business operating environment remains uncertain, we continue to monitor our investments and currency exposures abroad. As the U.K. is not a highly-inflationary economy, we record currency translation adjustments within equity and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings. While we did not experience significant business disruptions in our U.K. businesses following the referendum, the devaluation of the British pound sterling in 2016 adversely affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. We have a natural hedge in the form of pound sterling-denominated debt that acts as a net investment hedge, moving counter to adverse pound sterling currency translation impacts. British pound sterling currency transaction risks are largely mitigated due to our global chocolate businesses buying cocoa in British pound sterling. Our U.K. operations contributed $536 million, or 8.4% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Venezuela. As of the close of the 2015 fiscal year, we deconsolidated and changed to the cost method of accounting for our Venezuelan operations. Beginning in 2016, we no longer included net revenues, earnings or net assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries within our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the cost method of accounting, earnings are only recognized to the extent cash is received. Given the current and ongoing difficult economic, regulatory and business environment in Venezuela, there continues to be significant uncertainty related to our operations in Venezuela, and we expect these conditions will continue for the foreseeable future. We will monitor the extent of our ability to control our Venezuelan operations and the liquidity and availability of U.S. dollars at different rates, as our current situation in Venezuela may change over time and lead to consolidation at a future date.

Argentina. On December 16, 2015, the new Argentinean government fiscal authority announced the lifting of strict currency controls and reduced restrictions on exports and imports. The value of the Argentinean peso relative to the U.S. dollar fell by 36% the next day and declined an additional 23% in 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, the value of the peso relative to the U.S. dollar increased 3%. Further volatility in the exchange rate is expected. While the business operating environment remains challenging, we continue to monitor and actively manage our investment and exposures in Argentina. We have been executing our hedging programs and refining our product portfolio to improve our product offerings, mix and profitability. We also continue to implement additional cost reduction initiatives to optimize and streamline our manufacturing facilities and commercial operations to protect the business together with pricing strategy to offset inflationary pressures. While further currency declines could have an adverse impact on our ongoing results of operations, we believe the actions by the government to reduce economic controls and business restrictions will provide favorable opportunities for our Argentinean subsidiaries. Our Argentinean operations contributed $142 million, or 2.2% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and our Argentinian operations had a net monetary liability position as of March 31, 2017. The economy in Argentina has had significant inflation in recent years and has been close to becoming a highly-inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of March 31, 2017, it was not and we continue to closely monitor the potential for applying highly-inflationary economy accounting. At this time, we continue to record currency translation adjustments within equity and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.

Ukraine. In the first quarter of 2017, the National Bank of Ukraine published the three-year cumulative inflation rate for Ukraine, which was 101% at December 31, 2016. As the rate was over 100%, the Ukrainian economy met the criteria to be considered highly inflationary under U.S. GAAP for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Based on projected inflation data published by the National Bank of Ukraine and index data included in the International Monetary Fund’s October 2016 World Economic Outlook report, Ukraine’s cumulative inflation rate is projected to be below 100% later in 2017. Based on the materiality of our Ukraine operations and projected decrease in the three-year cumulative inflation rate below the 100% threshold later in 2017, we did not adopt highly inflationary accounting rules this quarter, which would entail recording Ukrainian hryvnia monetary transactions in U.S. dollars, and we continue to monitor the situation. Our Ukraine operations contributed 0.2% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and our Ukraine net monetary assets as of March 31, 2017 were not material.

Other Countries. Since we have operations in over 80 countries and sell in approximately 165 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. These include Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, most of which have had exchange rate volatility. We continue to monitor operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in these countries. At this time, we do not anticipate any risk to our operating results from changing to highly inflationary accounting in these countries.

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 a factoring arrangement with a major global bank for a maximum combined capacity of $870 million. Under the program, we may sell eligible short-term trade receivables to the bank in exchange for cash. We then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the bank. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under this arrangement amounted to $630 million as of March 31, 2017 and $644 million as of December 31, 2016. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was approximately $1 million in the first quarters of 2017 and 2016 and was recorded in net revenue. During our contract negotiations with customers, we also work with our customers to achieve earlier collection of receivables. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $81 million as of March 31, 2017 and $101 million as of December 31, 2016. The incremental cost of these arrangements was less than $1 million in the first quarters of 2017 and 2016 and was recorded in net revenue.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening the period to the earliest call date instead of the maturity date. The standard does not impact securities held at a discount as the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The standard requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and disclose the amount and location where the net benefit cost is recorded in the income statement or capitalized in assets. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied on a retrospective basis for the change in presentation in the income statement and prospectively for the change in presentation on the balance sheet. We are currently assessing the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating “Step 2” from the goodwill impairment testing. In Step 2, a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the goodwill’s implied fair value. To compute the implied fair value of goodwill, it is necessary to assign the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under the new guidance, goodwill impairment losses are calculated based on the “Step 1” computation with the impairment loss being equal to the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its implied fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We elected to early adopt this standard on March 31, 2017 as it simplifies the goodwill testing model. There was no impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting the standard.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business may affect many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. The ASU is applied on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We continue to assess the ASU based on any pending or new transactions that may arise prior to the January 1, 2018 adoption date. At this time, we do not anticipate early adopting nor a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that requires the change in restricted cash or cash equivalents to be included with other changes in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate adopting this standard at the same time as the cash flow statement classification changes described below go into effect on January 1, 2018. We continue to assess the impact on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that requires the recognition of tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory when the transfer occurs and removes the exception to postpone recognition until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate adopting on January 1, 2018 and do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to provide guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues and reduce diversity in practice in how some cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate adopting this standard on January 1, 2018. We continue to assess the impact on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for stock-based compensation. The ASU addresses several areas of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and cash flow statement presentation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2017. Following adoption, during the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a $14 million stock-based compensation tax benefit in earnings (within the provision for income taxes) and we will continue to record the stock-based compensation tax impacts (related to stock awards vesting and stock option exercises) within earnings each quarter on a prospective basis. We have also elected to continue to estimate forfeitures and not record forfeitures as they occur. Under the former guidance and for periods prior to January 1, 2017, we recorded the tax impacts directly to equity (within additional paid-in capital). In addition, we no longer reflect the cash received from the excess tax benefit within cash flows from financing activities but instead now, and on a prospective basis, reflect this benefit within cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We anticipate greater volatility in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings as a result of adopting this new standard as tax impacts that formerly were recorded in equity will impact our ongoing earnings.

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-useasset 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 due diligence and assess the impact of the new standard across our operations and on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which will consist primarily of recording lease 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. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 early 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, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date (annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The ASU may be applied retrospectively to historical periods presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We plan to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis. We continue to make significant progress on quantifying the impact of the ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements and planning the final process, policy and disclosure changes that will go into effect on January 1, 2018. At this time, we do not expect a material financial impact from adopting the new revenue standards.

Note 2. Divestitures and Acquisitions

JDE Coffee Business Transactions:

On July 2, 2015, we completed transactions to combine our wholly owned coffee businesses with those of D.E Master Blenders 1753 B.V. (“DEMB”) to create a new company, Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”). Following the exchange of a portion of our investment in JDE for an interest in Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”) in March 2016, we held a 26.5% equity interest in JDE. (See discussion under Keurig Transaction below.) The remaining 73.5% equity interest in JDE was held by a subsidiary of Acorn Holdings B.V. (“AHBV,” owner of DEMB prior to July 2, 2015). Following the transactions discussed under JDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements below, as of March 31, 2017, we hold a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.3% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded $18 million of JDE equity earnings and $49 million of cash dividends received, and in the first quarter of 2016, we recorded $47 million of JDE equity earnings.

JDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements:

On June 30, 2016, we entered into agreements with AHBV and its affiliates to establish a new stock-based compensation arrangement tied to the issuance of JDE equity compensation awards to JDE employees. This arrangement replaced a temporary equity compensation program tied to the issuance of AHBV equity compensation to JDE employees. New Class C, D and E JDE shares were authorized and issued for investments made by, and vested stock-based compensation awards granted to, JDE employees. Under these arrangements, share ownership dilution from the JDE Class C, D and E shareholders is limited to 2%. We retained our 26.5% voting rights and have a slightly lower portion of JDE’s profits and dividends than our shareholder ownership interest as certain employee shareholders receive a slightly larger share. Upon execution of the agreements and the creation of the Class C, D and E JDE shares, as a percentage of the total JDE issued shares, our Class B shares decreased from 26.5% to 26.4% and AHBV’s Class A shares decreased from 73.5% to 73.22%, while the Class C, D and E shares, held by AHBV and its affiliates until the JDE employee awards vest, comprised 0.38% of JDE’s shares. Additional Class C shares are available to be issued when planned long-term incentive plan (“JDE LTIP”) awards vest, generally over the next five years. When the JDE Class C shares are issued in connection with the vested JDE LTIP awards, the Class A and B relative ownership interests will decrease. Based on estimated achievement and forfeiture assumptions, we do not expect our JDE ownership interest to decrease below 26.27%.

Keurig Transaction:

On March 3, 2016, a subsidiary of AHBV completed a $13.9 billion acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Keurig through a merger transaction. On March 7, 2016, we exchanged with a subsidiary of AHBV a portion of our equity interest in JDE with a carrying value of €1.7 billion (approximately $2.0 billion as of March 7, 2016) for an interest in Keurig with a fair value of $2.0 billion based on the merger consideration per share for Keurig. We recorded the difference between the fair value of Keurig and our basis in JDE shares as a $43 million gain on the equity method investment exchange in March 2016. Immediately following the exchange, our ownership interest in JDE was 26.5% and our interest in Keurig was 24.2%. Both AHBV and we hold our investments in Keurig through a combination of equity and interests in a shareholder loan, with pro-rata ownership of each. Our initial $2.0 billion investment in Keurig includes a $1.6 billion Keurig equity interest and a $0.4 billion shareholder loan receivable, which are reported on a combined basis within equity method investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017. The shareholder loan has a 5.5% interest rate and is payable at the end of a seven-year term on February 27, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Keurig acquisition purchase price allocation was finalized and all related purchase accounting remeasurement updates were reflected in our first quarter 2017 results or prior quarters. In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded Keurig equity earnings of $14 million and shareholder loan interest income of $6 million. We also received $12 million of interest payments on the shareholder loan and $4 million of dividends. In the first quarter of 2016 (since March 7, 2016), we recorded Keurig equity earnings of $8 million and shareholder loan interest income of $2 million that we received in cash in the second quarter of 2016.

Other Divestitures and Acquisitions:

On April 28, 2017, we completed the sale of several manufacturing facilities in France and the sale or license of several local confectionery brands. The sale price of approximately €185 million ($202 million as of April 28, 2017) takes into account estimated sales price adjustments related to cash, employee-related liabilities and working capital transferred at closing. The sale was subject to E.U. and local regulatory approvals, completion of employee consultation requirements and additional steps to prepare the assets for transfer. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the buyer obtained anti-trust clearance in all markets where it was required and we received the Works Council approval. As of March 31, 2017, the held for sale assets and liabilities consisted of $110 million of current assets, $156 million of non-current assets, $40 million of current liabilities and $26 million of non-current liabilities based on the March 31, 2017 euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate. In March 2017, we recorded €17 million ($18 million as of March 31, 2017) of incremental expenses and an impairment of fixed assets primarily due to an agreed reduction in the sales price. We do not expect a significant impact in the second quarter of 2017 as a result of closing the transaction. In prior periods, we recorded a $14 million impairment charge on March 31, 2016 for a gum & candy trademark as a portion of its carrying value would not be recoverable based on future cash flows expected under a planned license agreement with the buyer. In May 2016, we recorded a $5 million impairment charge for another candy trademark to reduce the overall net assets to the estimated net sales proceeds after transaction costs.

On January 18, 2017, we reached an agreement to sell most of our grocery business in Australia and New Zealand to Bega Cheese Limited for approximately $460 million Australian dollars ($351 million as of March 31, 2017). As of March 31, 2017, the asset group to be sold consisted of approximately $25 million of current assets and approximately $125 million of non-current assets based on the March 31, 2017 Australian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate. We expect the transaction to close in mid-2017.

On November 2, 2016, we purchased from Burton’s Biscuit Company certain intangibles, which include the license to manufacture, market and sell Cadbury-branded biscuits in additional key markets around the world, including in the U.K., France, Ireland, North America and Saudi Arabia. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Total cash paid for the acquired assets was £199 million ($245 million as of November 2, 2016). We are working to complete the valuation work and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $72 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $155 million to goodwill, $14 million to property, plant and equipment and $4 million to inventory.

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. At March 31, 2017, the weighted-average life of our amortizable intangible assets was 13.5 years.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $44 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and in the three months ended March 31, 2016. We currently estimate annual amortization expense for each of the next five years to be approximately $155 million, estimated using March 31, 2017 exchange rates.

During our 2016 annual testing of non-amortizable intangible assets, we recorded $98 million of impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to five trademarks recorded across all regions. We also noted nine brands, including the five impaired trademarks, with $630 million of aggregate book value as of December 31, 2016 that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. While the other four intangible assets passed our annual impairment testing and we believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to continue to not be impaired, 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.

2014-2018 Restructuring Program

Mar. 31, 2017

2014-2018 Restructuring Program

Note 6. 2014-2018 Restructuring Program

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion restructuring program, comprised of approximately $2.5 billion in cash costs and $1 billion in non-cash costs (the “2014-2018 Restructuring Program”) and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a reallocation within the $5.7 billion total cost of the programs of $600 million of previously approved capital expenditures to be spent on restructuring program cash costs. There was no change to the total $5.7 billion cost of the program and no change to the total $4.7 billion of cash outlays. The $5.7 billion total cost of the program is now comprised 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 $2.7 billion related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. We have incurred the majority of the program’s charges through the first quarter of 2017 and we expect to complete the program by year-end 2018.

Restructuring Costs:

We recorded restructuring charges of $157 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $139 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 within asset impairment and exit costs. The 2014-2018 Restructuring Program liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was:


	Severance and			Asset
	related costs			Write-downs			Total
	(in millions)

Liability balance, January 1, 2017	$	464		$	–		$	464
Charges		86			71			157

Currency		8			–			8

Liability balance, March 31, 2017	$	473		$	–		$	473

We spent $84 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $74 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 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 $72 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $52 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, $398 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $75 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 $54 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $98 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restructuring and Implementation Costs in Operating Income:

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and since inception of the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, we recorded restructuring and implementation costs within operating income by segment (as revised to reflect our current segment structure) as follows:

Short-Term Borrowings:

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

	Amount		Weighted-		Amount		Weighted-
	Outstanding		Average Rate		Outstanding		Average Rate

Bank loans		415		10.7%		160		10.6%

Total short-term borrowings	$	4,250			$	2,531

As of March 31, 2017, the commercial paper issued and outstanding had between 3 and 88 days remaining to maturity. Commercial paper borrowings increased in the first quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of issuances to finance the payment of long-term debt maturities, dividend payments and share repurchases during the quarter. Bank loans include borrowings on primarily uncommitted credit lines maintained by some of our international subsidiaries to meet short-term working capital needs.

Borrowing Arrangements:

On March 1, 2017, 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 28, 2018. The agreement includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of March 31, 2017, 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 March 31, 2017, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders’ equity, as defined by the covenant, was $36.2 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 March 31, 2017, no amounts were drawn on the facility.

Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $1.9 billion at March 31, 2017 and $1.8 billion at December 31, 2016. Borrowings on these lines amounted to $415 million at March 31, 2017 and $160 million at December 31, 2016.

Long-Term Debt:

On April 12, 2017, we discharged $488 million of our 6.500% U.S. dollar-denominated debt. We paid $504 million, representing principal as well as past and future interest accruals from February 2017 through the August 2017 maturity date.

On March 30, 2017, fr.175 million of our 0.000% Swiss franc-denominated notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with net proceeds from the fr.350 million Swiss franc-denominated notes issued on March 13, 2017.

On March 13, 2017, we launched an offering of fr.350 million of Swiss franc-denominated notes, or $349 million in U.S. dollars as of March 31, 2017, consisting of:

•

fr.225 million (or $224 million) of 0.050% fixed rate notes that mature on March 30, 2020

•

fr.125 million (or $125 million) of 0.617% fixed rate notes that mature on September 30, 2024

On March 30, 2017, we received net proceeds of fr.349 million (or $349 million) that were used for general corporate purposes.

On January 26, 2017, €750 million of our 1.125% euro-denominated 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 2.2% as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, down from 3.7% as of December 31, 2015.

Fair Value of Our Debt:

The fair value of our short-term borrowings at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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 March 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $19,038 million and its carrying value was $18,374 million. At December 31, 2016, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $17,882 million and its carrying value was $17,199 million.

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. Our exchange-traded derivatives are generally subject to master netting arrangements that permit net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty when certain criteria are met, such as in the event of default. We also 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. We have recorded margin deposits related to our exchange-traded derivatives of $170 million as of March 31, 2017 and $133 million as of December 31, 2016 within other current assets. Based on our net asset or liability positions with individual counterparties, in the event of default and immediate net settlement of all of our open positions, for derivatives we have in a net asset position, our counterparties would owe us a total of $49 million as of March 31, 2017 and $48 million as of December 31, 2016. For derivatives we have in a net liability position, we would owe $2 million as of December 31, 2016.

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 commodity and currency exchange OTC derivatives do not have a legal right of set-off. In connection with our OTC derivatives that could be net-settled in the event of default, assuming all parties were to fail to comply with the terms of the agreements, for derivatives we have in a net liability position, we would owe $47 million as of March 31, 2017 and $40 million as of December 31, 2016, and for derivatives we have in a net asset position, our counterparties would owe us a total of $127 million as of March 31, 2017 and $162 million as of December 31, 2016. 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.

Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness was not material for all periods presented.

Within interest and other expense, net, we recorded pre-tax losses of $97 million in the first quarter of 2016 related to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing. This amount relates to interest rate swaps no longer designated as cash flow hedges due to changes in financing plans. Due to lower overall costs and our decision to hedge a greater portion of our net investments in operations that use currencies other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currencies, we changed our plans to issue U.S. dollar-denominated debt and instead issued euro and Swiss franc-denominated notes in the first quarter of 2016. Amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for the first quarter of 2017.

We record pre-tax and after-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 commodity contracts;

•

cost of sales for currency exchange contracts related to forecasted transactions; 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 losses of $24 million (net of taxes) for commodity cash flow hedges, unrealized gains of $10 million (net of taxes) for currency cash flow hedges and unrealized losses of less than $1 million (net of taxes) for interest rate cash flow hedges to earnings during the next 12 months.

Hedge Coverage:

As of March 31, 2017, we hedged transactions forecasted to impact cash flows over the following periods:

•

commodity transactions for periods not exceeding the next 9 months;

•

interest rate transactions for periods not exceeding the next 6 years and 7 months; and

•

currency exchange transactions for periods not exceeding the next 9 months.

Fair Value Hedges:

Pre-tax gains/(losses) due to changes in fair value of our interest rate swaps and related hedged long-term debt were recorded in interest and other expense, net:

For retired employees who elected lump-sum payments in our U.S. plans, we recorded net settlement losses of $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Employer Contributions:

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we contributed $3 million to our U.S. pension plans and $307 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. The non-U.S. amount included a non-recurring $250 million contribution made in connection with a new funding agreement for a plan in the U.K. 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 March 31, 2017, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $10 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $148 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2017. 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.

Share Repurchase Program:

During 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $7.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2016. On July 29, 2015, 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 $13.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2018. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2017, we had repurchased $10.8 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repurchased 10.8 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $43.87 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $0.5 billion, all of which was paid during the quarter. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of March 31, 2017, we have $2.4 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

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 ($58 million as of March 31, 2017) 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 ($90 million as of March 31, 2017). We have appealed this order. In addition, the Excise Authority issued additional show cause notices in February 2015 and December 2015 on the same issue but covering the periods January to October 2014 and November 2014 to September 2015, respectively. These notices added a total of 2.4 billion Indian rupees ($37 million as of March 31, 2017) of unpaid excise taxes as well as penalties to be determined up to an amount equivalent to that claimed by the Excise Authority and interest. 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.

In April 2013, the staff of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) advised us and Kraft Foods Group that it was investigating activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the Spin-Off of Kraft Foods Group. We cooperated with the staff in its investigation. On April 1, 2015, the 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”). 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. In December 2015, the court denied Mondelēz Global and Kraft Foods Group’s motion to dismiss the CFTC’s claims of market manipulation and attempted manipulation, and the parties are now in discovery. 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. In June 2016, the court denied Mondelēz Global and Kraft Foods Group’s motion to dismiss, and the parties are now in discovery. 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.

While we cannot predict with certainty the results of any Legal Matters in which we are currently involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of these Legal Matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial results.

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 March 31, 2017, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Tax Matters:

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.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Brazilian Supreme Court (the “Court”) ruled against the Brazilian tax authorities in a case brought by one of our Brazilian subsidiaries in 2008 related to the computation of certain social taxes. The Court ruled that the social tax base should not include a value-added tax known as ICMS. By removing the ICMS from the tax base, the Court effectively eliminated a “tax on a tax.” Our Brazilian subsidiary received an injunction against making payments for the “tax on a tax” in 2008 and since that time, has accrued for the ICMS tax each quarter in the event that the ICMS tax was reaffirmed by the Brazilian courts. The decision of the Court has not yet been published and we are awaiting further instructions from the Court and tax authorities related to amounts previously paid and accrued for the ICMS tax. We cannot reasonably estimate the amount and timing of the impact at this time.

Income Taxes

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2017

Income Taxes

Note 13. Income Taxes

Based on current tax laws, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2017 is 26.3%, 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 as compared to the prior year. Our 2017 first quarter effective tax rate of 21.4% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $36 million of discrete one-time events. The discrete net tax benefits primarily consisted of a $16 million benefit from release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions and a $16 million benefit relating to the U.S. domestic production activities deduction.

As of the first quarter of 2016, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2016 was 22.0%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. Our 2016 first quarter effective tax rate of 10.3% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $56 million of discrete one-time events. The discrete net tax benefits primarily consisted of a $39 million benefit from release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions.

Segment Reporting

Note 15. 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.

Our operations and management structure are organized into four reportable operating segments:

•

Latin America

•

AMEA

•

Europe

•

North America

On October 1, 2016, we integrated our EEMEA operating segment into our Europe and Asia Pacific operating segments to further leverage and optimize the operating scale built within the Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Belarus, Georgia and Kazakhstan were combined within our Europe operating segment, while the remaining Middle East and African countries were combined within our Asia Pacific region to form the AMEA operating segment. We have reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in all periods presented.

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 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 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.

Our segment net revenues and earnings, revised to reflect our new segment structure, were:
