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, 2024.
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 in common stock or in-substance common stock over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting.
Highly Inflationary Accounting
Within our consolidated entities, Argentina, Türkiye, Egypt and Nigeria are accounted for as highly inflationary countries. Argentina, Türkiye, Egypt and Nigeria represent 1.1%, 0.6%, 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively, of our consolidated net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 1.4%, 0.7%, 0.5% and 0.3% of our consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The aggregate losses from remeasurements of monetary assets and liabilities into our reporting currency for the highly inflationary countries were $9 million and $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $24 million and $26 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Given the continued volatility of these currencies, impacts to our financial statements in future periods could be significantly different from historical levels.
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. Restricted cash primarily includes cash held on behalf of financial institutions in accordance with accounts receivable factoring arrangements and letters of credit arrangements with legally restricted cash collateral provisions. Restricted cash is recorded within other current assets and was $99 million as of September 30, 2025 and $49 million as of December 31, 2024. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $1,466 million as of September 30, 2025 and $1,400 million as of December 31, 2024.
Allowances for Credit Losses
Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of:

| Balance at September 30, 2025 | $ | (39) | $ | (37) | $ | (19) |
Transfers of Financial Assets
The outstanding principal amount of receivables under our uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements amounted to $857 million as of September 30, 2025 and $159 million as of December 31, 2024. 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.
| 6 | |
Non-Cash Lease Transactions
We recorded $119 million in operating lease and $139 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $244 million in operating lease and $90 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
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. We also facilitate voluntary supply chain financing (“SCF”) programs through several participating financial institutions. Amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in Accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. Our outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under our SCF program are $3.6 billion and $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to enhance the transparency of annual income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective, for our annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU that will require incremental disclosures in the notes to the financial statements to disaggregate income statement expense line items into specified expense categories and to provide additional information about certain expenses. The guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. We currently expect to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective, for our annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2027 and for our interim reporting in the first quarter of 2028. We are currently assessing whether we will adopt the guidance on a prospective or retrospective basis.
In July 2025, the FASB issued an ASU which introduces a practical expedient that allows entities to measure expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets by assuming that the conditions existing at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of those assets, The amendment is intended to simplify the application of the current expected credit loss model by reducing the need to develop forward-looking forecasts for short-term trade receivables. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued an ASU that refines the scope of derivative accounting by introducing a new exception for contracts whose underlyings are based on the operations or activities of one of the parties among other updates. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied either on a prospective or modified retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued an ASU that improves the accounting for internal-use software by replacing the previous capitalization guidance, which focused on a project's stage of development, with a principles-based "probable-to-complete" recognition threshold. The amendments are effective for annual periods after December 15, 2027, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Evirth
On November 1, 2024, we acquired Evirth (Shanghai) Industrial Co., Ltd. ("Evirth"), a leading manufacturer of cakes and pastries in China. The acquisition will continue to expand our growth in the cakes and pastries categories. The cash consideration paid totaled ¥1.8 billion ($255 million), net of cash received.
We are working to complete the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have recorded a
| 7 | |
preliminary purchase price allocation.
The purchase price was primarily allocated to definite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Within definite-lived intangible assets, we allocated $117 million to customer relationships which have an estimated useful life of 17 years. The fair value of customer relationships at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. Those fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because they use significant unobservable inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of the intangible assets include discounted cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates.
Goodwill of $125 million was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arose principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across China. None of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the AMEA operating segment. For further detail, refer to Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.
Acquisition and Divestiture-Related Costs
We incurred net costs of $18 million and recorded a net gain $11 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and recorded net gains of $326 million and $247 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in total acquisition-related costs, including contingent consideration adjustments.
We recorded a net gain of zero and $7 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and recorded a net gain of $2 million and incurred net costs of $2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in total divestiture-related costs.

| Total | $ | 22,066 | $ | (2,455) | $ | 19,611 | $ | 21,076 | $ | (2,228) | $ | 18,848 |
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 intangible assets consist primarily of customer-related intangibles, process technology and trademarks.
Amortization expense for intangible assets was $32 million and $40 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $107 million and $115 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Impairment Assessments
We test our reporting units and indefinite-life intangible assets 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.
There were no impairments of goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
In the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, we recognized impairment charges of $33 million and $153 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying amounts of certain of our brands to their estimated fair values. Those charges are reported within Asset impairments and exit costs in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The 2025 impairments related to two biscuit brands in the Europe segment, one biscuit brand in the AMEA segment and one candy brand in the Latin America segment. The 2024 impairments related to two biscuit brands in the Europe segment, one biscuit brand in the AMEA segment and one candy and one biscuit brand in the Latin America segment. The impairments were driven by lower expectations of future business performance to reflect current or expected market conditions in select markets as well as changes in management strategy.
The fair values of our brand intangibles were determined using several valuation methods, including the relief from royalty method, the excess earnings method and the excess margin method. Inputs to those valuation methods include our most recent forecasts of revenue and earnings, as well as estimates of royalty rates and discount rates. Fair value measurements of brand intangible assets are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because they involve significant unobservable inputs.
Including the four brand intangibles for which we recognized impairments in the current period, we identified five brand intangibles for which fair value exceeded book value by less than 10%. The aggregate book value of those
| 9 | |
five brand intangibles was $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2025. We are closely monitoring the performance of those brands and if there are adverse changes to the related sales and earnings forecasts in the future, whether caused by business-specific or broader macroeconomic factors, one or more of those indefinite-life intangible assets could become impaired.
Note 6. Equity Method Investments
Our current equity method investments primarily relate to our ownership interests in Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. As of September 30, 2025, we owned 50.0% and 49.0%, respectively, of these companies' outstanding shares. Our ownership interests may change over time due to investee stock-based compensation arrangements, share issuances or other equity-related transactions.
Our investments accounted for under the equity method totaled $669 million as of September 30, 2025 and $635 million as of December 31, 2024. We recorded equity earnings of $19 million and received cash dividends of $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and recorded equity earnings of $54 million and received cash dividends of $33 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. We recorded equity earnings of $54 million and received cash dividends of $45 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and recorded equity earnings of $133 million and received cash dividends of $115 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The activity during 2024 included our prior investment in JDE Peet’s N.V. (“JDEP”). During the fourth quarter of 2024, we sold our remaining 85.9 million shares in JDEP to JAB Holding Company ("JAB") and fully exited the investment.
On August 24, 2025, Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (“KDP”) and JDEP entered into a definitive agreement under which KDP will acquire JDEP. As a result of that definitive agreement, we became entitled to a cash payment of €145 million ($169 million) from JAB that we received in the third quarter of 2025. The related gain is reported within Gain/(loss) on equity method investment transactions in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded an impairment charge of €612 million ($665 million) related to our JDEP investment. This charge was included within Gain/(loss) on equity method investment transactions in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

At September 30, 2025, we complied with this covenant. The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security.

(1)Derivative contracts designated as either cash flow ("CF") or net investment hedging ("NIH") instruments.
(2)We designate some of our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to hedge a portion of our net investments in our non-U.S. operations. This debt is not reflected in the table above, but is included in long-term debt discussed in Note 7, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements. Non-U.S. dollar denominated debt designated as net investment hedges is also disclosed in the Notional Amounts of Derivatives and Other Hedging Instruments table and the Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations section appearing later in this footnote.

Certain exchange-traded commodity contracts require us to receive from or pay to a broker an amount of cash related to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Such cash collateral held or placed is known as variation margin and is recorded as other current assets and liabilities. The net asset variation margin balances for futures contracts were $230 million and $263 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These balances are excluded from the table above. Our over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

Fair Value Measurements of Derivative Instruments
Level 1 fair value measurements use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges.
Level 2 fair value measurements use quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions, or model-based valuations in which significant inputs are observable in the market. Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of OTC foreign currency forwards and options; commodity forwards and options; interest rate swaps; and cross-currency swaps. Our foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.
Level 3 fair value measurements use unobservable inputs and include the use of judgment by management about the assumptions market participants use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair value measurements (asset/(liability)) of our derivative instruments were classified in the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Cash Flow Hedges
Our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges include interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate notional value of those derivatives was $1.0 billion.
Cash flow hedge activity, net of taxes, is recorded within accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses). Refer to Note 12, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Earnings/(Losses) for additional information on current period activity. Based on current market conditions, $27 million of gains, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) from cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2025 are expected to be recognized into earnings during the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2025, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 3 years, 3 months.
Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations
Net investment hedge ("NIH") derivative contracts
We enter into foreign currency contracts and cross-currency swaps to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate notional value of those derivatives was $9.5 billion.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration liabilities, which reflect earn-out arrangements from business combinations, are recorded at fair value each period, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities were $155 million and $179 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Contingent consideration liabilities are primarily recorded in Other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and changes in their fair values are primarily recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
The estimated fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities were primarily determined using Monte Carlo simulations. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the liabilities include financial projections for net revenue, gross profit and EBITDA, as well as discount and volatility rates. Fair value measurements of contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because they use significant unobservable inputs.
Contingent consideration liabilities include an earn-out arrangement related to the acquisition of Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”) in 2022. The possible payments under that arrangement 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 our base financial projections for the business.

Employer Contributions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we contributed $2 million and $62 million to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively. We make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local funding arrangements and statutory minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contributions are made to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability.
As of September 30, 2025, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $9 million to our U.S. plans and $6 million to our non-U.S. plans for the remainder of 2025. However, our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or changes in interest rates.

Mondelēz Global LLC Retirement Plan Settlement
During the third quarter of 2024, we entered into agreements with two third-party insurance companies to purchase buy-in annuity contracts to cover the liabilities associated with the Mondelēz Global LLC Retirement Plan (“MDLZ Global Plan”), the pension plan for U.S. salaried employees. The agreements provided us with the option to elect a buy-out conversion, at which time full responsibility of the MDLZ Global Plan obligations would transfer to the insurance companies. On June 12, 2025 we elected the buy-out conversion and recognized a non-cash pre-tax settlement loss of $282 million as a component of our net periodic pension cost in the second quarter of 2025. That settlement loss is recorded within Benefit plan non-service (expense)/income in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
Mondelez Canada Inc. - Trusteed Hourly Retirement Plan and Retirement Plan Settlement
During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into an agreement with a third-party insurance company to buy-out the retiree participants' obligations of the Mondelez Canada Inc. Trusteed Hourly Retirement Plan and Mondelez Canada Inc. Retirement Plan (collectively, "Canadian Pension Plans"). On September 11, 2025 the obligations were transferred to the insurance company and we recognized a non-cash pre-tax settlement loss of $54 million as a component of our net periodic pension cost in the third quarter of 2025. That settlement loss is recorded within Benefit plan non-service (expense)/income in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
On July 11, 2019, we received a withdrawal liability assessment from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and the Industry International Pension Fund requiring pro-rata monthly payments over 20 years and we recorded a discounted liability of $491 million at that time. In connection with the discounted long-term liability, we recorded accreted interest of $2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $7 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 within Interest and other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining discounted withdrawal liability was $298 million, with $16 million recorded in Other current liabilities and $282 million recorded in Other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Postretirement and Postemployment Benefit Plans
The net periodic postretirement benefit was $3 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $9 million and $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The net periodic postemployment cost was $5 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $16 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We routinely are involved in various pending or threatened legal proceedings, claims, disputes, regulatory matters and governmental inquiries, inspections or investigations arising in the ordinary course of or incidental to our business, including those noted below in this section. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending legal matters when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters we have not provided for that are reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome, management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss or such amounts have been determined to be immaterial. At present we believe that the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial fines, civil or criminal penalties, and other expenditures. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices or requiring other equitable remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position.
On April 1, 2015, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") filed a complaint against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court") related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the spin-off of Kraft Foods Group. The complaint alleged that Mondelēz Global: (1) manipulated or attempted to manipulate the wheat markets during the fall of 2011; (2) violated position limit levels for wheat futures; and (3) engaged in non-competitive trades. On May 13, 2022, the District Court approved a settlement agreement between the CFTC and Mondelēz Global. The terms of the settlement, which are available in the District Court’s docket, had an immaterial impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and did not include an admission by Mondelēz Global. Several class action complaints also were filed against Mondelēz Global in the District Court by investors who copied and expanded upon the CFTC allegations in a series of private claims for monetary damages as well as injunctive, declaratory, and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois as case number 15-cv-2937, Harry Ploss et al. v. Kraft Foods Group, Inc. and Mondelēz Global LLC. On January 3, 2020, the District Court granted plaintiffs' request to certify a class. In November 2022, the District Court adjourned the trial date it had previously set for November 30, 2022 and ordered the parties to brief Kraft’s motions to decertify the class and for summary judgment, which has been completed. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to bear any monetary penalties or other payments in connection with the class action.
As previously disclosed, in November 2019, the European Commission informed us that it initiated an investigation into our alleged infringement of European Union competition law through certain practices allegedly restricting cross-border trade within the European Economic Area. In the second quarter of 2024, we reached a negotiated resolution in this matter. At that time, we had accrued on a pre-tax basis, a liability of €337.5 million ($376 million). Pursuant to the terms of the agreed settlement, we fulfilled our payment obligation in August 2024. We do not anticipate any modification of our business practices and agreements that would have a material impact on our ongoing business operations within the European Union.
Third-Party Guarantees
We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Tax Matters
We are a party to various tax matter proceedings incidental to our business. These proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could subject us to additional tax liabilities and could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial position.

(3)The grant date fair value of PSUs is determined based on the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for performance-based components. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the probability of achieving the total shareholder return market condition. Compensation expense is recognized using the grant date fair values regardless of whether the market condition is achieved, as long as the requisite service has been provided.
Share Repurchase Program
Effective January 1, 2025, our Board of Directors replaced our prior share repurchase program by approving a program authorizing the repurchase of up to $9.0 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2027. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 31 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $59.00 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $1.8 billion, all of which was paid during the period. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of September 30, 2025, we have approximately $7.2 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Note 13. Restructuring Program
In 2014, our Board of Directors approved a multi-year restructuring program ("Simplify to Grow Program") to reduce our operating cost structure in both supply chain and overhead costs. Total restructuring and implementation charges of $5.4 billion were incurred throughout the Simplify to Grow Program, which ended in December 2024.
We recorded a net gain of $5 million and net restructuring charges of $40 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and recorded implementation costs of $17 million and $40 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
The Simplify to Grow Program restructuring liability activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was:
| Severance and related costs | |||||
| (in millions) | |||||
| Liability balance, January 1, 2025 | $ | 188 | |||

The liability for restructuring charges is included within other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities.
Note 14. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 19.7% for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 28.8% in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily driven by a favorable jurisdictional mix of earnings, tax benefits related to the provision for final 2024 tax return filings, and the tax treatment of certain foreign pension assets.
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 24.9% as compared to 26.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in our year-to-date effective tax rate was primarily driven by tax benefits related to the provision for final 2024 tax return filings, the tax treatment of certain foreign pension assets, and the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to audit developments and statute of limitation expirations in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These benefits were partially offset by changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings (including the impact of mark-to-market losses on commodity and foreign currency derivatives) as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into U.S. law. This legislation contains numerous tax provisions, including an increase to the tax rate applied to income earned by our foreign subsidiaries, favorable changes to foreign tax credit calculation methodologies, and changes to the timing of certain tax deductions for qualifying depreciable assets, costs of research and development performed in the U.S. and interest expense. The initial impact of the OBBBA legislation was not material to our third quarter earnings. Further, while we continue to monitor supplemental guidance released by the government, we do not expect any material impacts to our financial statements for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

We excluded antidilutive stock options and performance share units of 8.1 million and 3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 4.0 million and 3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 16. Segment Reporting
We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, as well as gum & candy, cheese & grocery and powdered beverages. We manage our global business and report operating results through geographic units. We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.
Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments:
-
Latin America
-
AMEA
-
Europe
-
North America
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM uses segment operating income in the annual plan and forecasting process and considers actual versus plan variances in assessing the performance of the segment. The CODM also uses segment operating income as an input to the overall compensation measures for segment management under our incentive compensation plans. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes certain mark-to-market impacts on commodity and foreign currency derivatives (which are primarily a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. We exclude these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Furthermore, we centrally manage benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that our CODM reviews. Additionally, assets for reportable segments are not disclosed as such information is not regularly reviewed by the Company's CODM.
