Our business and financial results could be negatively impacted by [removed: the outbreak of] COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics.
The severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic [removed: is uncertain, rapidly changing] [added: remain uncertain] and hard to predict.
[removed: In] [added: Since] 2020, COVID-19 [added: has] significantly impacted economic activity and markets around the world, and it could negatively impact our business in numerous ways, including but not limited to those outlined below:
- [removed: The] [added: In 2020, the] COVID-19 [removed: outbreak has] [added: pandemic] resulted [removed: and could continue to result] in lower revenues in some of our emerging market countries that have a [removed: higher] [added: greater] concentration of traditional trade outlets (such as small family-run stores), as well as in our [added: world] travel retail (such as international duty-free stores) and foodservice [removed: businesses.][added: businesses and categories like gum and candy, which are more traditionally purchased and consumed out of home.]
- In [removed: addition,] [added: 2020 and 2021,] sales of some of our products [removed: for in-home consumption] in some markets and [removed: channels,] [added: channels increased,] such as [removed: the United States and some European markets] [added: products for in-home consumption] and [added: categories like biscuits, as well as the] modern [removed: trade, increased in 2020.][added: trade and digital commerce channels.]
We are unable to predict how long this sustained demand will [removed: last or how significant it will be.][added: last.]
- The COVID-19 [removed: outbreak] [added: pandemic] has disrupted and could materially disrupt our global supply chain, operations and routes to market or those of our suppliers, their suppliers, [removed: or] our [removed: co-manufacturers] [added: external manufacturing partners, distributors] or [removed: distributors.][added: other business partners.]
The [removed: outbreak] [added: pandemic] has also necessitated increased expenditures to secure the safety and effectiveness of our personnel and operations.
Disruptions or our failure to effectively respond to them [added: have increased and] could [added: in the future] increase product or distribution costs or cause delays in delivering or an inability to deliver products to our customers.
For example, we experienced temporary disruptions in operations in some of our emerging markets such as India and Nigeria in the first half of [removed: 2020.][added: 2020 and Vietnam in 2021.]
[removed: Continuation] [added: Resumption, continuation] or expansion of these disruptions could materially adversely impact our operations and results.
- Commodity [added: and transportation] costs have become more volatile [added: and generally increased] due to the COVID-19 [removed: outbreak.][added: pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and transportation and labor shortages.]
We expect [removed: continued] commodity cost [removed: volatility,] [added: volatility to continue,] and our commodity hedging activities cannot fully offset this volatility.
- Initially during the COVID-19 [removed: outbreak,] [added: pandemic,] the U.S. dollar appreciated materially against other currencies in the countries in which we operate, resulting in currency translation losses.
[Table [removed: of](#i376f2d820f954400995542305180df46_7) [Contents](#i376f2d820f954400995542305180df46_7)][added: of](#i00c3280dc6ba4a3688ceadd396cd2a9a_7) [Contents](#i00c3280dc6ba4a3688ceadd396cd2a9a_7)]
[added: If the U.S. dollar were to appreciate] again against some or all of those same currencies, the resulting currency translation losses, along with currency transaction losses, could adversely affect our reported results of operations and financial condition.
The ultimate impact of these disruptions also depends on events beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and other [removed: outbreaks] [added: pandemics or epidemics] and actions taken by parties other than us to respond to [removed: them.][added: them, and in the case of COVID-19, on the emergence and spread of COVID-19 variants including Omicron.]
Any of these disruptions could have a negative impact on our business operations, financial [removed: performance and] [added: performance,] results of [removed: operations, which] [added: operations and stock price, and this] impact could be material.
Failure to effectively and timely assess new or developing trends, technological advancements or changes in distribution methods and set proper [removed: pricing] [added: pricing, including as a result of inflation,] or effective trade incentives [removed: will] [added: could] negatively impact [added: demand for] our [added: products, our] operating results, achievement of our strategic and financial goals and our ability to capitalize on new revenue or value-producing opportunities.
The rapid growth of some channels, [removed: in particular in e-commerce] [added: such as discounters as well as digital commerce] which has expanded significantly following the [removed: outbreak] [added: onset] of [removed: COVID-19,] [added: the COVID-19 pandemic,] may impact our current operations or strategies more quickly than we planned for, create consumer price deflation, alter the buying behavior of consumers or disrupt our retail customer relationships.
These expenditures may not be successful, including those related to our [removed: e-commerce] [added: digital commerce] and other technology-focused efforts, and might not result in trade and consumer acceptance of our efforts, which could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial [removed: condition, results of operations and cash flows.]
[removed: These new] [added: New] distribution [removed: channels] [added: channels,] as well as growing opportunities to utilize external [removed: manufacturers] [added: manufacturers,] lower barriers to entry and allow smaller competitors to more effectively gain market share.
Additionally, if we [removed: reduce prices] [added: adjust pricing] but cannot [added: maintain or] increase sales volumes, or our labor or other costs increase but we cannot increase prices to offset those changes, our financial condition and results of operations will suffer.
During [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] we continued to operate under our strategy, which focuses on accelerating consumer-centric and volume-driven [removed: growth,] [added: growth;] operational excellence driven by cost [removed: discipline] [added: discipline, simplification] and continuous operational improvement including in areas like sales [removed: execution,] [added: execution;] and building a winning growth culture with a “local first” commercial approach.
[removed: Failure] [added: If our strategy is not effective, we fail] to achieve [removed: these] [added: our goals and] objectives or [added: identify or prioritize the areas most important to achieving our goals, or we fail to] effectively operate under our strategy in a way that minimizes disruptions to our [removed: business] [added: business, it] could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of [removed: operations and] [added: operations,] cash [removed: flows.][added: flows and stock price.]

Promoting and protecting our reputation and brand image [removed: and health] is essential to our business success.
Our success depends on our ability to maintain and enhance our brands, expand to new geographies and new distribution [removed: platforms, including e-commerce,] [added: platforms such as digital commerce,] and evolve our portfolio with new product offerings that meet consumer [added: needs and] expectations.
Failure to effectively address the continuing global focus on [removed: consumer-centric] well-being, including changing consumer acceptance of certain ingredients, [added: industrial manufacturing and processing,] nutritional expectations of our products, and the sustainability of our ingredients, our supply chain and our packaging [added: (including plastic packaging and its ability to be recycled and other environmental impacts)] could adversely affect our brands.
Increased negative attention from the media, [added: academics and online influencers,] governments, shareholders and other stakeholders in these areas as well as on the role of food marketing and other environmental, [removed: social] [added: social, human capital] or governance practices could adversely affect our brand image.
Undue caution or [removed: inaction on] our [removed: part] [added: failure to react timely] in addressing these challenges and trends could weaken our competitive position.
Increasing [added: and disparate] legal or regulatory restrictions on our labeling, advertising and consumer promotions, [removed: such as age-based restrictions on sales of products with certain nutritional profiles enacted in some states in Mexico and other restrictions being considered in the United Kingdom,] or our response to those restrictions, could limit our efforts to maintain, extend and expand our brands.
Moreover, adverse publicity, regulatory developments or legal action against us, our employees or our licensees related to product quality and safety, where and how we manufacture our products, environmental [removed: risks,] [added: risks including climate change,] human and workplace rights across our supply chain, [added: labor relations,] or antitrust, anti-bribery and anti-corruption compliance could damage our reputation and brand health.
A variety of legal and regulatory restrictions [added: as well as our own policies and participation in industry self-regulation initiatives] limit how and to whom we market our products.
Negative posts or comments about Mondelēz International, our brands or our employees on social media or web sites (whether factual or not) or security breaches related to use of our social media accounts and failure to respond [removed: effectively to these posts, comments or activities could damage our reputation and brand image across the various regions in which we operate.]
Our brands may be associated with or appear alongside harmful content before these platforms or our own social media monitoring can detect this risk to our [removed: brand health.][added: brand.]
[removed: Furthermore, third] [added: Third] parties may sell counterfeit or imitation versions of our products that are inferior or pose safety risks.
Failure to successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand health could materially and adversely affect our company and product brands as well as our product sales, financial condition, results of [removed: operations and] [added: operations,] cash [removed: flows.][added: flows and stock price.]
We must correctly predict, [removed: identify and] [added: identify,] interpret [added: and meet] changes in consumer preferences and demand and offer new and improved products that meet those changes.
Our success depends on our ability to predict, [removed: identify and] [added: identify,] interpret [added: and meet] the tastes, dietary habits, packaging, sales channel and other preferences of consumers around the world and to offer products that appeal to these preferences in the places and ways consumers want to shop.
Some of these parts of our business continue to be negatively affected by the ongoing pandemic, and some of these areas such as gum that grew in 2021 have not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
Different markets and parts of our business will recover from the COVID-19 pandemic at different rates depending on many factors including vaccination levels or new COVID-19 variants and related outbreaks within a market.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in broader supply, transportation and labor disruptions resulting in inflation and generally higher operating costs in our business.
In 2021, we experienced labor disruptions primarily in our North America region, which impacted our sales in the fourth quarter.
We also experienced labor-related disruptions in our network of third-party logistics and external manufacturing, and we anticipate labor shortage-related issues will continue in 2022.
As a result of incremental pandemic-related expenditures and labor disruptions, we incurred and expect to continue to incur higher labor costs, particularly as the pandemic continues.
- Further disruptions or uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic could result in delays or modifications to our strategic plans and initiatives.
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We will be disadvantaged if we are not able to effectively leverage developing channels such as direct-to-consumer and electronic business-to-business commerce.
We have developed an approach to ESG that we believe supports our strategy and is focused on four areas: safety, supply security, our environmental footprint and consumer well-being.
This includes regulations such as front-of-pack labeling; selective food taxes; and age-based restrictions on sales of products with certain nutritional profiles enacted in some states in Mexico.
In the United Kingdom, a ban on specific types of TV and online advertising of food containing levels of fat, sugar or salt above specified thresholds is expected to go into effect in 2023, and new measures restricting certain promotions and in-store placement of some of those products are expected to go into effect in October 2022.
We might also fail to sufficiently evolve our digital marketing efforts to effectively utilize consumer data.
effectively to these posts, comments or activities could damage our reputation and brand image across the various regions in which we operate.
Third parties might also improperly use our brands as part of phishing or other scams, which could negatively affect our brand image.
We have experienced continued evolution of lifestyles and consumption patterns, including increased demand for biscuits and decreased demand for gum, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
We must also provide an array of products that satisfy the broad spectrum of consumer preferences and use marketing and advertising to reach consumers at the right time with the right message.
Failure to successfully increase our business in emerging markets and
In addition, we are experiencing new and more frequent attempts by third parties to gain access to our systems, such as through increased email phishing of our workforce.
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018 and has greatly increased the
Regulations to implement the CCPA were finalized in August 2020.
In addition, new privacy regulations, such as the California Privacy Rights Act, which grants a private right of action to individuals, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act and the Colorado Privacy Act, will enter into effect in 2023.
Moreover, disputes with significant customers or suppliers, including disputes regarding pricing or performance, could adversely affect our sales, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to risk related to operational safety, including risk of fire, explosion or accidental contamination.
Many of these conditions are or could be exacerbated or worsened by climate change.
Increased government intervention and consumer or activist responses caused by increased focus on climate change,
Thus our hedging strategies have not always protected and will not in the future always protect us from increases in specific raw material costs.
Transition risks include increased focus by federal, state and local regulatory and legislative bodies globally regarding environmental policies relating to climate change, regulating greenhouse gas emissions, energy policies and sustainability, including single use plastics.
Increasing regulation of carbon taxes could also substantially increase our product supply chain and distribution costs.
Concern about climate change might cause consumer preferences to switch away from products or ingredients considered to have high climate change impact and towards products that are more sustainably grown and made, and we expect to incur additional costs as we evolve our portfolio and engage in due diligence, verification and reporting in connection with our ESG and sustainability initiatives.
Those stakeholders might also have requests or proposals that are not aligned with the focus of our efforts on climate change and ESG matters.
Climate change-related impacts could also reduce demand for our products.
If costs for raw materials increase or availability decreases, we raise prices for our products and our competitors respond differently to those cost or availability pressures, demand for our products and our market share could suffer.
In 2021, we announced our goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Achieving this goal will require significant transformation of our business, capital investment and the development of technology that might not currently exist.
We might incur significant additional expense or be required to recognize impairment charges in connection with our efforts, and we might be unable to achieve our goal.
New regulations can also affect our commercial practices and our relationship with customers, suppliers or distributors.
We could also fail to attract and develop personnel with key emerging capabilities that we need to continue to respond to changing consumer and customer needs and grow our business, including skills in the areas of digital commerce and marketing, data analytics, and procurement and supply chain expertise.
Occurrence of any of these conditions could deplete our institutional knowledge base and erode our competitiveness.
A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates within our employee base caused by COVID-19 or related issues such as vaccine mandates, or as a result of general macroeconomic factors, have led and in the future could lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and increased wages to attract and retain employees.
- Disruptions or uncertainties related to the COVID-19 outbreak for a sustained period of time could result in delays or modifications to our strategic plans and initiatives and hinder our ability to achieve our objective to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs through our Simplify to Grow Program.

demand lower pricing, increased promotional programs or longer payment terms.
Changes in our operating model and business processes, including building a winning growth culture, implementing our “local first” commercial approach, utilizing our global shared services capability and reconfiguring our supply chain, could lead to operational challenges and changes in the skills we require to achieve our business goals.
Main trade provisions include the continuation of no tariffs or quotas on trade between the U.K. and E.U. so long as we meet prescribed trade terms.
We will also need to meet product and labeling standards for both the U.K. and E.U. The U.K. may also set its own trade policies with countries such as the United States, Australia and New Zealand that currently do not have free trade agreements with the E.U. Cross-border trade between the U.K. and E.U. will be subject to new customs regulations, documentation and reviews.
We anticipate increased shipping costs and near-term delays because of the need for ongoing customs inspections and related procedures.
Our supply chain in this market relies on imports of raw and packaging materials as well as finished goods.
Volatility in foreign currencies and other markets may also arise as the U.K. and E.U. work though the new trade arrangements.
Once the new rules are formalized, there could be other near- or long-term negative impacts.
Any disagreements on trade terms or supply chain or distribution delays or other disruptions could negatively affect our U.K. business.
Consequently, we are subject to greater risk of litigation, legal or tax claims or other regulatory enforcement actions.
We have implemented policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with existing laws and regulations; however, there can be no assurance that we maintain effective control environment processes, including in connection with our global shared services capability.
In December 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation (“U.S. tax reform”).
The legislation implements many new U.S. domestic and international tax provisions.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the U.S. Treasury Department and numerous state governments issued additional guidance during 2018, 2019 and 2020.
As of January 2021, there is a new president of the United States, and his campaign included proposed changes to U.S. tax legislation.
In addition, tax legislation enacted by foreign jurisdictions could significantly affect our ongoing operations.
For example, during the third quarter of 2019, Swiss Federal and Zurich Cantonal events took place that resulted in enacted tax law changes under U.S. GAAP (“Swiss tax reform”).
The new legislation is intended to replace certain preferential tax regimes with a new set of internationally accepted measures.
We will continue to monitor Swiss tax reform for any additional interpretative guidance that could result in changes to the amounts we have recorded.
liquidity of the overall global capital markets and the state of the global economy, including the food industry, could affect our access to, and the availability or cost of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions and our ability to pay dividends in the future.

During 2020, [added: the first year of the pandemic,] we experienced a significant increase in demand and revenue growth in certain markets as consumers increased their food purchases for in-home consumption.
Results were particularly strong in modern trade (such as large grocery supermarkets and retail [removed: chains) and e-commerce,] [added: chains), digital commerce] and especially for categories such as biscuits.
[removed: During] [added: This was especially so during] the second quarter [removed: especially, lockdowns and other related measures or restrictions had a negative impact on] [added: of 2020 for some of our] emerging markets [removed: with a greater concentration of traditional trade] due to store [removed: closures (particularly] [added: closures, particularly] in our Latin America region as well as parts of our AMEA [removed: region)] [added: region that have a greater concentration of traditional trade (such] as [added: small family-run stores), our world travel retail (such as international duty-free stores), and our foodservice businesses as] well as [removed: in] categories like gum and candy, which are more traditionally purchased and consumed out of home.
We discuss these and other [added: ongoing] impacts of COVID-19 below.
For employees who [removed: are] [added: were] unable to work remotely, we [removed: have] adopted a number of heightened protocols, consistent with those prescribed by the World Health Organization, related to social distancing (including staggering lunchtimes and shifts where possible and restricting in-person gatherings and non-essential travel) and enhanced hygiene and workplace sanitation.
- We have [removed: been hiring] [added: hired] frontline employees in the U.S. and other locations to meet additional marketplace demand and promote uninterrupted functioning of our manufacturing, distribution and sales network.

In response to increased demand, we [removed: have] increased production [removed: and, to date,] [added: and until recently,] we have not experienced material disruptions in our supply chain or [removed: operations:][added: operations.]
- We [removed: have been able to] continue to source raw ingredients, packaging, energy and transportation and deliver our products to our customers.
Although we monitor [added: these costs and] our exposure to commodity prices and hedge against input price increases, we cannot fully hedge against [added: all cost increases and] changes in [removed: commodity] costs, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw [removed: material] [added: materials or other] costs.
[removed: In the future, the] [added: - The] ongoing COVID-19 [removed: outbreak could] [added: pandemic and related economic effects may] disrupt our global supply chain, operations and routes to market or those of our suppliers, their suppliers, [removed: or] our [removed: co-manufacturers] [added: co-manufacturers, distributors] or [removed: distributors.][added: other business partners.]

- During the [removed: second quarter of 2020,] [added: pandemic,] we [added: have] incurred higher operating costs primarily for labor, customer service and logistics, security, personal protective equipment and cleaning.
While we have not had [removed: material disruptions to date,] [added: long-term, severe supply chain disruptions,] we do not know whether or how our supply chain or operations may be negatively [removed: affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period or worsens.]
[removed: As we respond to this evolving situation, we] [added: We] intend to continue to execute on our strategic operating [removed: plans.][added: plans as the situation evolves.]
[removed: However, disruptions,] [added: Disruptions,] higher operating costs or uncertainties like those noted above could result in delays or modifications to our plans and initiatives.

We [removed: also] [added: have] issued additional long-term debt several times [removed: in] [added: since the beginning of] 2020 due to favorable market conditions and opportunities to shift a portion of our funding mix from short-term debt to long-term debt at a low cost.

As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues and new variants of the virus emerge, such as Omicron in late 2021, our main priorities continue to be the safety of our employees and helping maintain the global food supply.
Together with our employees, customers, suppliers and other partners, we are working to emerge from the pandemic stronger.
However, other parts of our business were negatively affected by mandated lockdowns and other related restrictions.
The negative impacts experienced in the second quarter of 2020 began to subside in the second half of 2020, as demand grew in both developed and emerging markets and a number of our key markets returned to higher growth; however, our gum and candy, world travel retail and foodservice businesses as well as parts of our traditional trade business in parts of emerging markets continued to be negatively affected by the ongoing pandemic.
During 2021, we continued to see increased demand for most of our snack category products in both our emerging and developed markets relative to 2020; however, revenue from parts of our business were not yet back to pre-pandemic levels.
In 2021, net revenue growth was 8.0% and Organic Net Revenue growth was 5.2%.
In 2021, while we experienced double-digit revenue growth in gum as well as significant growth in other areas such as foodservice and world travel retail, revenues in these businesses were not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
Our overall outlook for future snacks revenue growth remains strong, but as the pandemic continues, we anticipate increased volatility in revenues until COVID-related risks and the international supply chain issues and labor and transportation constraints subside and snacks consumption stabilizes to a more normal growth level.
We continue to track new developments and ongoing impacts from the pandemic.
Most disruptions we experienced in our operations due to the pandemic have been temporary and not material to our consolidated results.
In the second half of 2021, we experienced higher operating costs, including higher overall raw material, transportation, labor and fuel costs, that we anticipate will continue into 2022.
We have worked with governments and healthcare providers to help provide access to vaccines for our frontline and office employees when and where possible at a local level.
As more employees who have been working remotely return to shared workplaces, we have enhanced safety protocols we will follow while also encouraging continued flexible and virtual work arrangements wherever possible.
Labor markets, particularly in the U.S., U.K. as well as in other countries, have significantly tightened.
We recognize the demand for talent and continue to actively work to safeguard, engage, attract and retain our employees.
- Since the start of the pandemic, we have donated over $30 million to assist those impacted by COVID-19 and to support local and global organizations responding to food instability and providing emergency relief.
Beginning in the second half of 2021, we began to experience more significant supply chain disruptions and higher operating costs as noted below:
- As global supply, transportation and labor disruptions escalated in the second half of 2021, particularly in the U.S. and U.K., we incurred higher operating costs in our business.
- We also experienced labor disruptions primarily in our North America region in the third quarter of 2021, including a strike that affected six of our U.S. manufacturing and sales distribution facilities for several weeks.
In September 2021, after working with our employees and union representatives to resolve the strike, we entered into a new collective bargaining agreement at these facilities.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we did not experience significant operating or labor disruptions.
However, we anticipate some disruption in early 2022 and higher expected absenteeism due to illness within our operations and among our third-party suppliers and business partners primarily as a result of the Omicron variant.
Throughout the second half of 2021, we also experienced labor-related disruptions in our network of third-party logistics and external manufacturing, and we anticipate labor shortage-related issues will continue into 2022.
As a result of incremental pandemic-related expenditures and labor disruptions, we incurred and expect to incur higher labor costs, particularly as the pandemic continues.
Costs for resources, particularly commodity and transportation costs, have continued to increase.
External factors, including the pandemic, adverse weather conditions, supply chain disruptions, and transportation and labor shortages, have impacted and are expected to continue to impact our operating costs.
We also may not be able to adjust pricing timely or fully, and this may negatively affect our revenue, margins or earnings.
We anticipate some of the supply, transportation and labor constraints and higher cost trends we experienced in 2021 will continue in 2022.
While we have not had significant delays or unavailability of raw ingredients or other supplies, we continue to monitor this risk.
At this time, we believe we will be able to continue to source raw materials and other supplies we use in our business.
affected if the pandemic continues.
As further discussed below, in January 2022, we acquired Chipita S.A. to expand our snacks portfolio.
We paid approximately €1.3 billion ($1.5 billion) in cash and we assumed and substantially paid down €0.4 billion ($0.4 billion) of Chipita’s debt in January for a total purchase price of approximately €1.7 billion ($1.9 billion).
- During 2021, we generated cash of approximately $1.5 billion from the sale of KDP shares.
As of December 31, 2021, we were, and we expect to continue to be, in compliance with our debt covenants (refer to the *Liquidity and Capital Resources* section and Note 9, *Debt and Borrowing Arrangements*).
- We continue to evaluate the realizability of our assets and indicators of potential impairment.
- During the third quarter of 2021, we completed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets and noted no impairments.
During the second quarter of 2021, we concluded that one biscuit brand was impaired and we recorded a $32 million impairment charge.
At this point in the pandemic, while we have seen some improvements in business and economic conditions across many markets in which we do business, additional adverse impacts could arise such as those noted above and some that we cannot currently anticipate.
Our overall outlook for future snacks revenue growth remains strong, but as the pandemic continues, we anticipate increased volatility in revenues until COVID-related risks and current international supply chain issues and labor and transportation constraints subside and snacks consumption stabilizes to a more normal growth level.
We have been actively monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact globally.
Our highest priorities continue to be the safety of our employees and working with our employees and network of suppliers and customers to help maintain the global food supply chain.
Other parts of our business were negatively affected by mandated lockdowns and other related restrictions including some of our emerging markets with a greater concentration of traditional trade (such as small family-run stores) as well as our world travel retail (such as international duty-free stores) and foodservice businesses.
In the second half of the year, demand grew in both developed and emerging markets as the negative impacts of COVID-19 during the second quarter subsided and a number of our key markets returned to higher growth.
A sharp reduction in global travel continues to negatively impact our world travel retail business, and lower out-of-home consumption continues to negatively impact our foodservice business as well as sales of our gum and candy products.
During 2020, we also experienced temporary disruptions in operations in some of our emerging markets that were not material to our consolidated results.
- We increased our $15 million global commitment to assist those most impacted by COVID-19 to approximately $28 million to date.
We have been supporting local and global organizations that are responding to food instability and providing emergency relief.
- We were able to leverage learnings from our timely response to the initial outbreak in China, and we put in place procedures across our supply chain to help mitigate the risk that our manufacturing sites will experience material closures or disruptions.
- We have not experienced material disruptions in our workforce; however, mandatory and voluntary stay-at-home restrictions have resulted in increased levels of absenteeism.
- Commodity costs have become more volatile due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
We anticipate continued commodity cost volatility as the pandemic continues.
- We have experienced temporary disruptions in operations in some of our emerging markets.
The disruptions were not material to our consolidated results for 2020.
- Our 2020 net revenue and net earnings in U.S. dollars were negatively affected by currency translation losses from a generally stronger U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in the countries in which we operate.
In the second half of 2020, our spending in these areas was significantly less but still above pre-COVID levels.
We continued to incur higher costs in these areas in response to the ongoing pandemic as we worked to protect our employees and deliver our products timely and safely to our customers.
Most other aspects of our global supply chain and operations did not change materially during 2020.
- As a precautionary measure, in March, we also suspended our share repurchase program, which was reinstated during our fourth quarter.
- In connection with various legislatively authorized tax payment deferral mechanisms available for income tax, indirect tax (such as value-added tax) and payroll tax in a number of jurisdictions, we were able to defer certain of these tax payments, which provided a cash benefit that reverses when the payments come due.
Some of these payments were made in the fourth quarter of 2020; the remainder will come due in 2021 and 2022.
The benefits associated with the deferral of these tax payments were not material to our financial statements.
During the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in March, we put supplemental short-term credit facilities in place, which we have since retired in full.
We have been, and we expect to continue to be, in compliance with our debt covenants.
- We evaluated the realizability of our assets and whether there are any impairment indicators.
While some of the initial impacts of the pandemic on our business moderated in the second half of 2020, the business and economic environment remains uncertain and additional impacts may arise that we cannot currently anticipate.
However, the elevated consumer demand we experienced primarily in some of our developed market countries in 2020 may not continue.
We are unable to predict how long this sustained demand will last or how significant it will be.
We expect the COVID-19 outbreak to result in lower revenues primarily in some of our emerging market countries that have a higher concentration of traditional trade outlets (such as small family-run stores), our gum and candy categories (which are more instant consumption in nature), as well as our world travel retail (such as international duty-free stores) and foodservice businesses.
On July 9, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. ("Keurig") closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NYSE: "KDP"), a publicly traded company.
Following the close of the transaction, our 24.2% investment in Keurig together with our shareholder loan receivable became a 13.8% investment in KDP.
During 2018, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $778 million (or $586 million after-tax).
In connection with the KDP transaction, in the third quarter of 2018, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of Keurig's historical and KDP's ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis for all periods presented while we continue to record dividends when cash is received.
Consistent with our accounting for KDP and in connection with JDE Peet's becoming a public company, during the second quarter of 2020, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of JDE historical results and JDE Peet's ongoing results on a one-quarter lag basis while we continue to record dividends when cash is received.
We determined a lag was preferable as it enables us to continue to report our quarterly and annual results on a timely basis and to record our share of JDE Peet's ongoing results once JDE Peet's has publicly reported its results.
This change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation ("U.S. tax reform") that included a broad range of business tax provisions and a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and profits.
Multiemployer Pension Plan Withdrawal
In 2018, we executed a complete withdrawal from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (the "Fund") and recorded a $429 million estimated withdrawal liability.
On July 11, 2019, we received an undiscounted withdrawal liability assessment from the Fund totaling $526 million requiring pro-rata monthly payments over 20 years.

Mondelēz International’s purpose is to empower people to snack right.

- *Accelerate consumer-centric growth.* Our consumers are the reason we want to be the best snacking company in the world, and we put them at the heart of everything we do.
With our consumers in mind, we are focused on accelerating growth by investing in both our global and local brands.

We are committed to investing in a diverse and talented workforce that helps our business move forward with greater speed and agility.
We empower our local teams to innovate and deliver consumers’ snacking needs while continuing to leverage our global scale to efficiently support our growth strategy.
In addition, we also continue to focus significant efforts to drive progress against our core initiatives for more sustainable and mindful snacking.
For the last several years, we have been following the principles of the Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”) as we continued to measure our greenhouse gas footprint, worked to reduce our emissions and accelerated our existing sustainability initiatives to become a more sustainable snacking company.
In November 2021, we set a goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our full value chain (including Scope 1 through 3 greenhouse gas emissions) by 2050.
We have signed the SBTi’s *Business Ambition for 1.5°C*, aligning our long-term emissions mitigation goals with the aim of limiting temperature rise in accordance with the Paris Agreement, the 2015 international treaty on climate change.
We also joined the United Nations *Race to Zero* campaign to help build momentum toward a decarbonized economy.
These goals are a strategic priority and help guide us as we continue our sustainability work to drive lasting progress at scale and create long-term value for the business and our stakeholders.
We continue to report on our progress in our annual *Snacking Made Right* report, where we discuss our performance against our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) goals and initiatives.
Please also see our *Sustainability and Mindful Snacking* section below.

We also have a dedicated innovation and venture hub, SnackFutures, which is designed to capitalize on consumer trends and emerging growth opportunities in well-being snacks.
The group’s priorities support incremental growth against three key strategic areas: invent new brands and businesses, invest in early stage entrepreneurs, and amplify SnackFutures’ impact with the CoLab start-up engagement program built to provide start-ups with tools, technologies and expertise that can help them learn, grow and succeed.

[removed: If] [added: At least annually management assesses indefinite-life intangible assets for impairment and if] significant potential impairment risk exists for a specific asset, management quantitatively tests the asset for impairment by comparing its estimated fair value with its carrying value.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the indefinite-life intangible asset [added: annual] impairment [removed: assessment] [added: assessments for certain brand names] is a critical audit matter are [added: (i)] the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value [removed: measurement] of the indefinite-life intangible [removed: assets.][added: assets; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to estimates of future sales, earnings growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates for certain brand names; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.]
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the indefinite-life intangible asset impairment [removed: assessment,] [added: assessments,] including controls over the [removed: determination of the fair values] [added: annual valuation] of certain [removed: of the Company’s indefinite-life intangible assets as part of the annual impairment assessment.][added: brand names.]

The main trade provisions include the continuation of no tariffs or quotas on trade between the U.K. and E.U. subject to prescribed trade terms, including but not limited to meeting product and labeling standards for both the U.K. and E.U. Cross-border trade between the U.K. and E.U. is also subject to new customs regulations, documentation and reviews.
We continue to closely monitor and manage our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the U.K. We have made investments in resources, systems and processes to meet the new ongoing requirements and we work to mitigate disruptions to our local supply chain and distribution, including those related to the recent transportation labor shortage in the U.K., to reduce the impact on our input and distribution costs.
Despite our efforts to control costs, we have seen inflationary cost pressures rise in our U.K. business this year, as we have also experienced in other markets.
If the U.K.’s separation from, or new trade arrangements with, the E.U. negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disagreements on trade terms, delays affecting our supply chain or distribution, disruptions to sales or collections, or further increases in inflationary cost pressures, the impact to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.
We continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts to our \`business operations, currencies and net monetary exposures.
Since the global onset of COVID-19 in early 2020, most countries in which we do business experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty as well as exchange rate volatility.

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.
We are evaluating the timing and effects of adopting this ASU and currently we do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020 and subsequently in January 2021, the FASB issued an ASU to provide optional accounting guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform.
The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to existing accounting requirements for contract modifications and hedge accounting related to transitioning from discontinued reference rates, such as LIBOR, to alternative reference rates, if certain criteria are met.
The new accounting requirements can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period including March 12, 2020, or any date thereafter, through December 31, 2022.
We expect to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2022.
On January 3, 2022, we acquired 100% of equity of Chipita 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 for Chipita totaled €1.3 billion ($1.5 billion) plus the assumption of Chipita’s debt of €0.4 billion ($0.4 billion) totaling the purchase price of €1.7 billion ($1.9 billion).
In 2021, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $6 million and integration costs of $17 million in preparation for the acquisition.
On November 1, 2021, we completed the sale of MaxFoods Pty Ltd, an Australian packaged seafood business that we had acquired as part of our acquisition of Gourmet Food Holdings Pty Ltd (“Gourmet Food”).
The sales price was $57 million Australian dollars ($41 million), net of cash divested with the business, and we recorded an immaterial loss on the transaction.
The packaged seafood business added incremental net revenues of $35 million in 2021 and operating income of $5 million during 2021.
On April 1, 2021, we acquired Gourmet Food, a leading Australian food company in the premium biscuit and cracker category, for closing cash consideration of approximately $450 million Australian dollars ($343 million), net of cash received.
We are working to complete the valuation and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $41 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $80 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $164 million to goodwill, $19 million to property, plant and equipment, $18 million to inventory, $25 million to accounts receivable, $12 million to other assets, $5 million to operating right of use assets, $3 million to other current assets, $19 million to current liabilities and $5 million to long-term operating lease liabilities.
We incurred acquisition-related costs of $7 million in 2021.
On March 25, 2021, we acquired a majority interest in Lion/Gemstone Topco Ltd (“Grenade”), a performance nutrition leader in the United Kingdom, for closing cash consideration of £188 million ($261 million), net of cash received.
The acquisition of Grenade expands our position into the premium nutrition market.
The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $67 million and operating income of $6 million during 2021.
We incurred acquisition-related costs of $2 million in 2021.
*Changes in Accounting Principles*
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for a certain equity method investment in 2020 and the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019.
We
At least annually management assesses indefinite-life intangible assets for impairment by performing a qualitative review and assessing events and circumstances that could affect the fair value or carrying value of the indefinite-life intangible assets.
This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management’s fair value estimates and significant assumptions, related to estimates of future sales, earnings growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates for certain indefinite-life intangible assets.
In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the valuation methods; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management related to the estimates of future sales, earnings growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates.

During a transition period scheduled to end on December 31, 2020, the U.K. effectively remained in the E.U.’s customs union and single market while a new trade deal with the E.U. was negotiated.
On December 24, 2020, both sides reached an agreement on a new trade arrangement that became effective on January 1, 2021.
Main trade provisions include the continuation of no tariffs or quotas on trade between the U.K. and E.U. so long as we meet prescribed trade terms.
We will also need to meet product and labeling standards for both the U.K. and E.U. and we have already begun to introduce these changes gradually.
The U.K. may also set its own trade policies with countries such as the United States, Australia and New Zealand that currently do not have free trade agreements with the E.U. Cross-border trade between the U.K. and E.U. will be subject to new customs regulations, documentation and reviews.
We have been taking protective measures to limit disruptions to our supply chain and sales to limit potential negative impacts on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We continue to enhance resilience plans to aid in dealing with anticipated border delays.
We are working to address new regulatory requirements such as packaging changes.
Also, we continue to closely monitor and manage our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the U.K. Any disagreements on trade terms or supply chain or distribution delays or other disruptions could negatively affect our U.K. business.
Some of the countries in which we do business have recently experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty and exchange rate volatility, including Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa and Pakistan.
We continue to monitor operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in these countries.
On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease accounting standard.
We recorded $710 million of lease related assets and $730 million of lease related liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.
The transition method we elected for adoption included recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, which was not material.
