Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management, including for future operations, capital expenditures or share repurchases; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief or expectation; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing or other future events. Forward-looking statements may include, among others, the words, and variations of words, “will,” “may,” “expect,” “would,” “could,” “might,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “likely,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “objective,” “predict,” “project,” “drive,” “seek,” “aim,” “target,” “potential,” “commitment,” “outlook,” “continue” or any other similar words.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and are amplified by current and potential trade and tariff actions affecting the countries where we operate. Important factors that could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

• weakness in macroeconomic conditions in our markets, including as a result of inflation (and related monetary policy actions by governments in response to inflation) and the instability of certain financial institutions;

• risks from operating globally including geopolitical, trade, tariff and regulatory uncertainties affecting developed and emerging markets;

• volatility of cocoa and other commodity input costs, our ability to effectively hedge such costs and the availability of commodities;

• geopolitical uncertainty, including the impact of ongoing or new developments in Ukraine and the Middle East, related current and future sanctions imposed by governments and other authorities and related impacts, including on our business operations, employees, reputation, brands, financial condition and results of operations;

• competition and our response to channel shifts and pricing and other competitive pressures;

• pricing actions and customer and consumer responses to such actions;

• promotion and protection of our reputation and brand image;

• weakness in consumer spending and/or changes in consumer preferences and demand and our ability to predict, identify, interpret and meet these changes;

• the outcome and effects on us of legal and tax proceedings and government investigations;

• use of information technology and third party service providers;

• unanticipated disruptions to our business, such as malware incidents, cyberattacks or other security breaches, and supply, commodity, labor and transportation constraints;

• our ability to identify, complete, manage and realize the full extent of the benefits, cost savings, efficiencies and/or synergies presented by strategic acquisitions and other transactions as well as other strategic initiatives, such as our ERP System Implementation program;

• our investments and our ownership interests in those investments;

• the impact of climate change on our supply chain and operations;

• global or regional health pandemics or epidemics;

• consolidation of retail customers and competition with retailer and other economy brands;

• changes in our relationships with customers, suppliers or distributors;

• management of our workforce and shifts in labor availability or labor costs;

• compliance with legal, regulatory, tax and benefit laws and related changes, claims or actions;

• perceived or actual product quality issues or product recalls;

• failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures;

• our ability to protect our intellectual property and intangible assets;

• tax matters including changes in tax laws and rates, disagreements with taxing authorities and imposition of new taxes;

• changes in currency exchange rates, controls and restrictions;

			1

• volatility of and access to capital or other markets, interest rates, the effectiveness of our cash management programs and our liquidity;

• pension costs;

• significant changes in valuation factors that may adversely affect our impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets; and

• the risks and uncertainties, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report except as required by applicable law or regulation. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.
