(a) Adjusted [removed: EBITDA] [added: EPS] is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Rewritten

Operating income/(loss) increased 25.8% to $4.6 billion in 2023 compared to $3.6 billion in 2022, primarily driven by higher pricing, [added: the beneficial impact from our] efficiency [removed: gains,] [added: initiatives,] lower non-cash impairment losses in the current year [removed: period,] [added: period ($251 million),] and the impact of the securities class action lawsuit in the prior year period.

Adjusted EPS increased 7.2% to $2.98 in 2023 compared to $2.78 in [removed: 2022] [added: 2022,] primarily driven by higher Adjusted [removed: EBITDA] [added: Operating Income] and lower interest expense, which more than offset the decrease from lapping a 53rd week of shipments in the prior period, unfavorable changes in other expense/(income), and higher taxes on adjusted earnings.

Rewritten

Management evaluates segment performance based on several factors, including net sales, Organic Net Sales, and Segment Adjusted [removed: EBITDA.][added: Operating Income.]

Segment Adjusted [removed: EBITDA] [added: Operating Income] is defined as [removed: net] [added: operating] income/(loss) [removed: from continuing operations before interest expense, other expense/(income), provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (excluding restructuring activities); in addition to these adjustments, we exclude,] [added: excluding,] when they occur, the impacts of [removed: divestiture-related license income,] restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized gains/(losses) on commodity hedges (the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in general corporate expenses until realized; once realized, the gains and losses are recorded in the applicable segment’s operating results), impairment losses, [added: and] certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory [removed: matters, and equity award compensation expense (excluding restructuring activities).][added: matters.]

New in FY2024

We manufacture and market food and beverage products around the world through our eight consumer-driven product platforms: Taste Elevation, Easy Ready Meals, Hydration, Meats, Cheeses, Substantial Snacking, Desserts, Coffee, and other grocery products.

New in FY2024

Subsequently, we manage our operating results through four operating segments.

New in FY2024

Our results of operations reflect goodwill impairment losses of $1.6 billion and intangible asset impairment losses of $2.0 billion in 2024.

New in FY2024

We recognized goodwill impairment losses of $510 million and intangible asset impairment losses of $152 million in 2023.

New in FY2024

In 2024, we closed the sale of our infant nutrition business in Russia (the “Russia Infant Transaction”) and the sale of 100% of the equity interests in our Papua New Guinea subsidiary (the “Papua New Guinea Transaction”), both within Emerging Markets.

New in FY2024

In 2022, we completed the Hemmer Acquisition within Emerging Markets, and the Just Spices Acquisition within our International Developed Markets segment.

New in FY2024

See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, in Item 8, *Financial Statements and Supplementary Data*, for additional information on our acquisition and divestiture activities.

New in FY2024

During the year ended December 28, 2024, we experienced moderate inflation in our supply chain costs compared to the prior year period, which we expect to continue through 2025.

New in FY2024

While inflationary pressures within procurement, manufacturing, and logistics costs had a negative impact on our results of operations, we experienced increased stability of these costs as compared to the prior year period.

New in FY2024

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a global coalition of member countries, proposed a two-pillar plan that aims to ensure a fairer distribution of profits among countries and impose a floor on tax competition through the introduction of a global minimum tax of 15%.

New in FY2024

Many countries have enacted, or begun the process of enacting, laws based on the two-pillar plan proposals.

New in FY2024

As part of our planning for the changes in the international tax environment, as well as to achieve greater operational synergies, we have enacted changes to our corporate entity structure which included a transfer of, and will result in the movement of, certain business operations to a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Netherlands resulting in a tax benefit of $3.0 billion recorded as a non-U.S. deferred tax asset in December 2024.

New in FY2024

The deferred tax asset was recognized as a result of the book and tax basis difference on the business transferred to the Netherlands subsidiary with the tax basis determined by reference to the fair value of the business.

New in FY2024

The determination of the estimated fair value of the transferred business is complex and requires the exercise of substantial judgment due to the use of subjective assumptions in the valuation method used by management.

New in FY2024

The associated valuation allowance of $0.6 billion is related to uncertainty in the Pillar Two legislative interpretation and is based on our latest assessment of the total tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.

New in FY2024

The recognition of our future tax benefits associated with this transaction is dependent upon the acceptance of the business valuation and tax basis step-up by the associated taxing authorities.

New in FY2024

The legislative developments in conjunction with changes we made to our corporate entity structure are estimated to increase our cash tax rate by 2.0% to 3.0% and our effective tax rate by approximately 5.0%.

New in FY2024

The estimated rates could be impacted by the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities and future legislative developments.

*Fiscal* *Year 2024 Compared to Fiscal Year 2023:*

New in FY2024

Net sales decreased 3.0% to $25.8 billion in 2024 compared to $26.6 billion in 2023, including the unfavorable impacts of foreign currency (0.7 pp) and acquisitions and divestitures (0.2 pp).

New in FY2024

Organic Net Sales decreased 2.1% to $25.9 billion in 2024 compared to $26.5 billion in 2023, primarily due to the unfavorable volume/mix (3.5 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (1.4 pp).

New in FY2024

Pricing was higher in North America and Emerging Markets, and flat in International Developed Markets.

New in FY2024

Volume/mix in North America and International Developed Markets was unfavorable, while volume/mix in Emerging Markets was favorable.

New in FY2024

Pricing was higher in all segments.

New in FY2024

*Fiscal* *Year 2024 Compared to Fiscal Year 2023:*

New in FY2024

Operating income/(loss) decreased 63.2% to $1.7 billion in 2024 compared to $4.6 billion in 2023, due to non-cash impairment losses that were $3.0 billion higher in the current year period.

New in FY2024

The remaining change to operating income/(loss) was an increase of $118 million primarily driven by higher pricing, lower variable compensation expense, and lower procurement and logistics costs, due, in part, to the beneficial impact from our efficiency initiatives.

New in FY2024

These favorable impacts to operating income/(loss) were partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, increased manufacturing expenses due to increased labor costs, and increased selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) due, in part, to investments in technology.

New in FY2024

Net income/(loss) decreased 3.5% to $2.7 billion in 2024 compared to $2.8 billion in 2023.

Conflict Between Russia and Ukraine:

Dropped from FY2023

For the years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 1% of consolidated net sales, net income/(loss), and Adjusted EBITDA were generated from our business in Russia.

Dropped from FY2023

As of December 30, 2023, less than 1% of consolidated total assets were located in Russia and we had approximately 1,100 employees in Russia.

Dropped from FY2023

We have no operations or employees in Ukraine and insignificant net sales through distributors.

Dropped from FY2023

We will continue to monitor the impact that this conflict has on our business; however, through 2023, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Dropped from FY2023

Our 2022 fiscal year was a 53-week period that ended on December 31, 2022.

Dropped from FY2023

During the year ended December 30, 2023, we experienced increased supply chain costs, including procurement, and manufacturing costs, largely due to inflationary pressures concentrated in the first half of the year, as compared to the prior year period.

Dropped from FY2023

Our 2023 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Dropped from FY2023

These impacts were partially offset by the impact of certain unfavorable rate reconciling items, primarily non-deductible goodwill impairments and the impact of the federal tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”).

Dropped from FY2023

Our 2022 effective tax rate was impacted by the favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions and certain favorable items, primarily the decrease in deferred tax liabilities due to the merger of certain foreign entities, the revaluation of deferred tax balances due to changes in state tax laws, and changes in estimates of certain 2021 U.S. income and deductions.

Dropped from FY2023

This impact was partially offset by the impact of certain unfavorable items, primarily non-deductible goodwill impairments, the impact of the federal tax on GILTI, and the establishment of uncertain tax positions and valuation allowance reserves.

Dropped from FY2023

Further, additional changes in other expense/(income) were driven by a $73 million net foreign exchange loss in 2023 compared to a $106 million net foreign exchange gain in 2022, and a $21 million decrease in gain on sale of businesses.

Dropped from FY2023

These impacts were partially offset by a $59 million net gain on derivative activities in 2023 compared to an $50 million net loss on derivative activities in 2022, and a $13 million increase in interest income as compared to the prior year period.

*Valuation of Non-US Deferred Tax Asset Related to the Change in Entity Structure*

New in FY2024

As described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company enacted changes to its corporate entity structure, which included a transfer of and will result in the movement of certain business operations to a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Netherlands, resulting in a tax benefit of $3 billion recorded as a non-U.S. deferred tax asset in December 2024.

New in FY2024

The deferred tax asset was recognized as a result of the book and tax basis difference on the business transferred, with the tax basis determined by reference to the fair value of the business.

New in FY2024

As disclosed by management, management used the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the business and made significant assumptions related to net sales, discount rate, long-term growth rate, income tax rates, and other market factors.

New in FY2024

The recognition of the future tax benefits associated with the transaction are dependent upon the acceptance of the business valuation and tax step-up by the associated taxing authorities.

New in FY2024

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the non-US deferred tax asset related to the change in entity structure is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the business and related value of the deferred tax asset; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the recognition of future tax benefits and management’s significant assumptions related to net sales, discount rate, long-term growth rate, and income tax rates; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

New in FY2024

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

New in FY2024

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s assessment of the valuation of the non-US deferred tax asset related to the change in entity structure, including controls over the valuation of the business transferred.

New in FY2024

These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating the positive and negative evidence available to assess management’s assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax asset related to the change in entity structure; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the business, (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the method; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to net sales, discount rate, long term growth rate, and income tax rates.

New in FY2024

Evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to net sales, discount rate, and long-term growth rate involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the transferred business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the Company’s

At December 28, 2024, we had restricted cash of $31 million recorded in other current assets and restricted cash of $121 million recorded in other non-current assets.

New in FY2024

- *Foreign currency fair value hedges.* We use derivative instruments to hedge changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities due to changes in exchange rates.

New in FY2024

These instruments may include cross-currency swap contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts.

New in FY2024

The gains/(losses) on the hedged item, driven by changes in foreign exchange rates, are economically offset by fair value movements on the effective portion of our derivative instrument, which is reported in the same income statement line item in the same period.

New in FY2024

The amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis in the same line item as the hedged item.

New in FY2024

In 2024, we applied highly inflationary accounting to the results of our subsidiaries in Turkey, Venezuela, Argentina, Egypt, and Nigeria which resulted in nonmonetary currency devaluation losses in other expense/(income) of $16 million as of December 28, 2024.
