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, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments with readily determinable fair values for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence are measured at fair value.

War in Ukraine

In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and we closed our operations and facilities in Ukraine. In March 2022, our two Ukrainian manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod were significantly damaged. During the first quarter of 2022, we evaluated and impaired these and other related assets. We recorded $143 million of total expenses ($145 million after-tax) incurred as a direct result of the war. We reversed $22 million during the remainder of 2022 and $3 million during the first six months of 2023 of previously recorded charges primarily as a result of higher than expected collection of trade receivables and inventory recoveries. We continue to make targeted repairs on both our plants and have partially reopened and restarted limited production in both plants. We also continue to support our Ukraine employees, including paying salaries to those not yet able to return to work until full production returns. We continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries and continue to evaluate our ability to control our operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, expectations of future impacts and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Given the uncertainty of the ongoing effects of the war in Ukraine, and its impact on the global economic environment, our estimates could be significantly different than future performance.

Highly Inflationary Accounting

Within our consolidated entities, Argentina and Türkiye (Turkey) are accounted for as highly inflationary economies. Argentina and Türkiye represent 1.6% and 0.8% of our consolidated net revenues with remeasurement losses of $10 million and $16 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 2.3% and 0.9% of our consolidated net revenues with remeasurement losses of $21 million and $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We also have restricted cash within other current assets of $71 million as of June 30, 2023 and $25 million as of December 31, 2022. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $1,553 million as of June 30, 2023 and $1,948 million as of December 31, 2022.

Allowances for Credit Losses

Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of:

Currency	—		(1)		(1)
Balance at June 30, 2023	$	(64)	$	(54)	$	(15)

Transfers of Financial Assets

The outstanding principal amount of receivables under our uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements amounted to $744 million as of June 30, 2023 and $516 million as of December 31, 2022. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was not material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Non-Cash Lease Transactions

We recorded $62 million in operating lease and $73 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $125 million in operating lease and $76 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Supply Chain Financing

As part of our continued efforts to improve our working capital efficiency, we have worked with our suppliers over the past several years to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. Our current payment terms with a majority of our suppliers are from 30 to 180 days, which we deem to be commercially reasonable. We also facilitate voluntary supply chain financing (“SCF”) programs through several participating financial institutions. Under these programs, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, determine invoices that they want to sell to participating financial institutions. Our suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in SCF programs has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. Our responsibility is limited to making payments based upon the agreed-upon contractual terms. No guarantees are provided by the Company or any of our subsidiaries under the SCF programs and we have no economic interest in the suppliers’ decision to participate in the SCF programs. Amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheet. We have been informed by the participating financial institutions that our outstanding accounts payable related to suppliers that participate in the SCF programs was $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which requires companies to recognize and measure customer contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if the acquiring company originated the related revenue contracts. Prior to adopting this ASU, acquired contract assets and liabilities were measured at fair value. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2023 and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring additional disclosure about the key terms of these programs and a roll-forward of the related obligations to understand the effects of these programs on working capital, liquidity and cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the roll-forward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted, with the exception of the roll-forward requirement, this standard in the first quarter of 2023 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

Ricolino

On November 1, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of Grupo Bimbo's confectionery business, Ricolino, located primarily in Mexico. The acquisition of Ricolino builds on our continued prioritization of fast-growing snacking segments in key geographies. The cash consideration paid for Ricolino totaled $26 billion Mexican pesos ($1.3 billion), net of cash received.

We are working to complete the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of:


	(in millions)
Cash	$	22
Receivables	86
Inventory	70
Other current assets	3
Property, plant and equipment	144
Operating leases right of use assets	17

Definite-life intangible assets	218
Indefinite-life intangible assets	339
Goodwill	712
Other assets	3
Assets acquired	$	1,614
Current liabilities	177
Deferred tax liability	78
Operating lease liabilities	17
Other liabilities	12
Total purchase price	$	1,330
Less: cash received	(22)
Net Cash Paid	$	1,308

Within identifiable intangible assets, we allocated $339 million to trade names, which have an indefinite life. The fair value for the Ricolino, Dulces Vero, LaCorona and Coronado trade names were determined using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of the income approach, at the acquisition date. The fair value measurement of indefinite-life intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include estimates of future sales, discount and royalty rates.

Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across both new and legacy product categories in Mexico. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Latin America operating segment.

Ricolino added incremental net revenues of $155 million during the three months and $326 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and operating income of $7 million during the three months and $16 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We incurred acquisition integration costs of $10 million during the three months and $16 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We incurred $1 million of acquisition-related costs during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Clif Bar

On August 1, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”), a leading U.S. maker of nutritious energy bars with organic ingredients. The acquisition expands our global snack bar business and complements our refrigerated snacking and performance nutrition bar portfolios. The total cash payment of $2.9 billion includes purchase price consideration of $2.6 billion, net of cash received, and one-time compensation expense of $0.3 billion related to the buyout of the non-vested employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") shares.

Table of Contents

This compensation expense is considered an acquisition-related cost. The acquisition of Clif Bar includes a contingent consideration arrangement that may require us to pay additional consideration to the sellers for achieving certain revenue and earnings targets in 2025 and 2026 that exceed our base financial projections for the business implied in the upfront purchase price. The possible payments range from zero to a maximum total of $2.4 billion, with higher payouts requiring the achievement of targets that generate rates of returns in excess of the base financial projections. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date was $440 million determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the liability include financial projections for net revenue, gross profit, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as well as discount and volatility rates.

We are working to complete the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of:

Within identifiable intangible assets, we allocated $1,450 million to trade names, which have an indefinite life. The fair value for the Clif and Luna trade names, were determined using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of the income approach, at the acquisition date. The fair value measurement of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include forecasted future revenue, discount and royalty rates. We expect to generate a meaningful cash tax benefit over time from the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.

Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across the U.S. and other key markets. All of the goodwill was assigned to the North America operating segment. Tax deductible goodwill is expected to be $1.4 billion and will be amortized.

Clif Bar added incremental net revenues of $240 million during the three months and $458 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and operating income of $35 million during the three months and $70 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We incurred acquisition integration costs of $16 million during the three months and $55 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. These acquisition integration costs include an increase to the contingent consideration liability due to changes to underlying assumptions. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments for additional information. We incurred $4 million of acquisition-related costs during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Chipita

On January 3, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of Chipita Global S.A. (“Chipita”), a leading croissants and baked snacks company in the Central and Eastern European markets. The acquisition of Chipita offers a strategic complement to our existing portfolio and advances our strategy to become the global leader in broader snacking. The cash consideration paid for Chipita totaled €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion), net of cash received, plus the assumption

of Chipita’s debt of €0.4 billion ($0.4 billion) for a total purchase price of €1.7 billion ($1.8 billion).

We have recorded a purchase price allocation of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Total purchase price	$	1,890
Less: long-term debt	(436)
Less: cash received	(52)
Net Cash Paid	$	1,402

Within identifiable intangible assets, we allocated $686 million to trade names, which have an indefinite life. The fair value for the 7 Days trade name, which is the primary asset acquired, was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach at the acquisition date. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include forecasted future cash flows and discount rates.

Goodwill was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across both new and legacy product categories. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Europe operating segment.

We incurred acquisition integration costs of $4 million during the three months and $10 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We incurred acquisition integration costs of $36 million during the three months and $71 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $21 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Divestitures

Developed Market Gum - Held for Sale

On December 16, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our developed market gum business in North America and Europe for $1.4 billion. It is expected to close in Q4 2023, subject to relevant antitrust approvals and closing conditions. In connection with these agreements, we concluded that the disposal group met the held for sale criteria as of December 31, 2022. The disposal group is included as part of the North America and Europe operating segments.

Indefinite-life intangible assets consist principally of brand names purchased through our acquisitions of Nabisco Holdings Corp., the global LU biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A., Cadbury Limited and Clif Bar. Definite-life

Table of Contents

intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $37 million for the three months and $76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $32 million for the three months and $64 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $150 million in 2023-2025, approximately $95 million in 2026 and approximately $90 million in 2027 (reflecting June 30, 2023 exchange rates).

Impairment Assessment

We test our reporting units and brands for impairment annually as of July 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or brand is less than its carrying amount. During the second quarter of 2023, we evaluated our goodwill impairment and intangible asset impairment risk through an assessment of potential triggering events. We considered qualitative and quantitative information in our assessment. We concluded there were no impairment indicators.

During our 2022 annual indefinite-life intangible asset testing, we identified eight brands that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. The aggregate book value of the eight brands was $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2023. We believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to not be impaired, but if the brand earnings expectations are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly then a brand or brands could become impaired in the future.

Note 6. Investments

Marketable Securities

Our reduction in ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (Nasdaq: "KDP") during the first quarter of 2023, to below 5% of the outstanding shares, resulted in a change of accounting for our KDP investment, from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values ("marketable securities") as we no longer have significant influence. These marketable securities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1).

On June 8, 2023, we sold 23 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership by 1.6%, from 3.2% to 1.6% of the total outstanding shares. We received proceeds of approximately $708 million.

On March 2, 2023, we sold 30 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership interest by 2.1%, from 5.3% to 3.2% of the total outstanding shares. We received proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion and recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million (or $366 million after tax) during the first quarter of 2023.

Pre-tax gains and losses for marketable securities are summarized below (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2023		Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
	(in millions)
Loss/(gain) on marketable securities sold during the period	$	104	$	(293)
Unrealized loss/(gain) on equity securities held as of the end of the period	90		(300)
Dividend income	(5)		(14)
Total loss/(gain) on marketable securities	$	189	$	(607)

In the table above, loss/(gain) on marketable securities sold during the period reflects the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the equity securities at the beginning of the period or the date of the change of accounting for our investment in KDP, if later.

We reported marketable securities of $705 million as of June 30, 2023 in other current assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On July 13, 2023, we sold the remainder of our KDP investment, approximately 23 million shares, and received approximately $704 million in proceeds.

Equity Method Investments

Our equity method investments include, but are not limited to, our ownership interests in JDE Peet's (Euronext Amsterdam: "JDEP"), Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. Our ownership interests may change over time due to investee stock-based compensation arrangements, share issuances or other equity-related transactions. As of June 30, 2023, we owned 18.1%, 50.0% and 49.0%, respectively, of these companies' outstanding shares.

Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $3.2 billion as of June 30, 2023 and $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2022. The investment balance as of December 31, 2022 is inclusive of our investment in KDP. We recorded equity earnings of $71 million and cash dividends of zero in the three months ended June 30, 2023, and equity earnings of $98 million and cash dividends of $14 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. We recorded equity earnings of $106 million and cash dividends of $102 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and equity earnings of $215 million and cash dividends of $121 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Based on the quoted closing prices as of June 30, 2023, the fair value of our publicly-traded investment in JDEP was $2.6 billion, and there was no other than temporary impairment identified.

JDEP Transactions

On April 3, 2023, we sold approximately 7.7 million shares of JDEP, which reduced our ownership interest by 1.6%, from 19.7% to 18.1% of the total outstanding shares. We received cash proceeds of €198 million ($217 million) and recorded a loss of €18 million ($19 million) on this sale during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We continue to have board representation with two directors on JDEP's Board of Directors and have retained certain additional governance rights. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in JDEP under the equity method.

On March 30, 2023, we issued options to sell shares of JDEP in tranches equivalent to approximately 7.7 million shares. These options are exercisable at their maturities which are between July 3, 2023 and September 29, 2023, with strike prices ranging from €26.10 to €28.71 per share. If all options issued on March 30, 2023 are exercised, our ownership interest will be reduced by an additional 1.6%.

On May 8, 2022, we sold approximately 18.6 million of our JDEP shares back to JDEP, which reduced our ownership interest by approximately 3%. We received cash proceeds of €500 million ($529 million) and recorded a loss of €8 million ($8 million) on this sale during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

In 2021, we issued €300 million exchangeable bonds, which are redeemable at maturity in September 2024 at their principal amount in cash or, at our option, through the delivery of an equivalent number of JDEP’s ordinary shares based on an initial exchange price of €35.40 and, as the case may be, an additional amount in cash. If all bonds were redeemed in exchange for JDEP's shares, this would represent approximately 8.5 million shares or approximately 10% of our equity interest in JDEP as of June 30, 2023. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, for further details on this transaction.

Note 7. Restructuring Program

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion 2014-2018 restructuring program and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $600 million reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so the $5.7 billion program consisted of approximately $4.1 billion of restructuring program charges ($3.1 billion cash costs and $1.0 billion non-cash costs) and up to $1.6 billion of capital expenditures. On September 6, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2022, an increase of $1.3 billion in the program charges and an increase of $700 million in capital expenditures. On October 21, 2021, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2023, and on July 25, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a further extension of the restructuring program through December 31, 2024. The total $7.7 billion program now consists of $5.4 billion of program charges ($4.1 billion of cash costs and $1.3 billion of non-cash costs) and total capital expenditures of $2.3 billion to be incurred over the life of the program. The current restructuring program, as increased and extended by these actions, is now called the Simplify to Grow Program.

The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and

procurement-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and implementation charges of $5.2 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the remainder of the program charges by year-end 2023.

Restructuring Costs

The Simplify to Grow Program liability activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was:

(3)We spent $17 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $16 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and spent $35 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $33 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 in cash severance and related costs.

(4)We recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments), and other non-cash adjustments, including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets, which totaled a charge of $5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a charge of $7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and a charge of $6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(5)At June 30, 2023, $118 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $41 million was recorded within other long-term liabilities.

Implementation Costs

Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our Simplify to Grow Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $19 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, and we recorded implementation costs of $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $39 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.
