Mondelēz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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, 2025.
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
As of March 31, 2026, our consolidated entities in Argentina, Türkiye, Egypt and Nigeria are operating in highly inflationary economies and represent 1.2%, 0.5%, 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively, of our consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The aggregate losses from remeasurements of monetary assets and liabilities into our reporting currency for the highly inflationary countries were $(5) million and $(7) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 $107 million as of March 31, 2026 and $70 million as of December 31, 2025. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $1,631 million as of March 31, 2026 and $2,195 million as of December 31, 2025.
Allowances for Credit Losses
Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of:
| Allowance for Trade Receivables | Allowance for Other Current Receivables | Allowance for Long-Term Receivables | |||||||||||||||

| Currency and other | 1 | (1) | — | ||||||||||||||
| Balance at March 31, 2026 | $ | (31) | $ | (35) | $ | (18) |
Transfers of Financial Assets
The outstanding principal amount of receivables under our uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements amounted to $892 million as of March 31, 2026 and $674 million as of December 31, 2025. The incremental costs of factoring receivables under these arrangements were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings and were 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 $47 million in operating lease and $43 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $38 million in operating lease and $51 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under our SCF program are $3.3 billion and $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted
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 guidance 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. We adopted the practical expedient on a prospective basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and the impact on our consolidated financial statements was not material.
New Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
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 ASU 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 the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, as well as whether we will adopt the guidance on a prospective or retrospective basis.
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 interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied either on a prospective or modified retrospective basis. We do not expect this ASU to have a material 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 ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, 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.
In December 2025, the FASB issued an ASU that establishes accounting guidance for government grants received by a business entity, including grants related to an asset and grants related to income. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied on a modified prospective, modified retrospective or retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| Total | $ | 22,038 | $ | (2,505) | $ | 19,533 | $ | 22,124 | $ | (2,496) | $ | 19,628 |
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. The weighted-average amortization period for our definite-life intangible assets is approximately 16 years, which is primarily driven by recently acquired customer-related intangibles.
Amortization expense for definite-life intangible assets was $27 million and $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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. During the first quarter of 2026, we evaluated our goodwill impairment risk and intangible asset impairment risk through an assessment of potential triggering events. We considered qualitative and quantitative information in our assessment and concluded there were no impairment indicators.
During our 2025 annual impairment test, we recognized impairment charges of $33 million 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.
Including the four brand intangibles for which we recognized impairments in 2025, we identified five brand intangibles, as part of our annual test, for which fair value exceeded book value by less than 10%. The aggregate carrying value of those five brand intangibles was $1.5 billion as of March 31, 2026. 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.

(1)On February 18, 2026, our $1.5 billion 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit agreement dated as of February 19, 2025 expired and we entered into a $1.5 billion 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit agreement that will expire on February 17, 2027.
We maintain senior unsecured revolving credit facilities for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. The revolving credit agreements include a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders' equity of at least $25.0 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses), the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles and earnings/(losses) recognized in connection with any mark-to-market accounting for pensions and other retirement plans. At March 31, 2026, 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"), fair value ("FV") 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 5, 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 $318 million and $364 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These balances are excluded from the table above. Our over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative transactions are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives 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, options and swaps; OTC commodity options; interest rate swaps; and cross-currency swaps. 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 foreign currency contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow model based on the terms of the contract and the observable market inputs such as interest rate curves and forward rates. 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 significant unobservable inputs and include the use of judgment by management about the assumptions market participants would 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 March 31, 2026, the aggregate notional value of those derivatives was $2.1 billion.
Cash flow hedge activity, net of taxes, is recorded within accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) and reclassified to earnings in the periods in which the hedged item affects earnings. Refer to Note 10, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Earnings/(Losses) for additional information on current period activity. Based on current market conditions, $4 million of losses, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) from cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2026 are expected to be recognized into earnings during the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2026, our longest dated cash flow hedge was a cross-currency swap that hedges currency exchange risk on certain debt denominated in a different currency than the functional currency of the borrowing entity over the next 10 years.
Fair Value Hedges
Our derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges include interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate notional value of those derivatives was $1.6 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 $143 million and $149 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, we contributed $2 million and $30 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 March 31, 2026, we plan to make no further contributions to our U.S. plans and further contributions of approximately $47 million to our non-U.S. plans for the remainder of 2026. 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.
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 March 31, 2026 and 2025 within interest and other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining discounted withdrawal liability was $289 million, with $16 million recorded in other current liabilities and $273 million recorded in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Postretirement and Postemployment Benefit Plans
Net periodic postretirement benefit was $5 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net periodic postemployment cost was $4 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Note 8. 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.
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.

(2)The income tax shortfall upon vesting of PSUs and DSUs was $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
(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 three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2026, we have approximately $6.7 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Note 11. Restructuring
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, we initiated restructuring actions to reduce our cost structure and streamline our operations. We incurred charges of $48 million in connection with these actions for employee severance and related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which are classified within asset impairment and exit costs. The liability for those restructuring actions undertaken in the first quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2025 was $62 million as of March 31, 2026 and $23 million as of December 31, 2025 and is included within other current liabilities and other liabilities. Current period cash payments for those restructuring actions were not material.
Note 12. Income Taxes
In the first quarter of 2026, our effective tax rate was 29.4% as compared to 28.3% in the first quarter of 2025. The lower effective tax rate in the prior year was mainly driven by releases of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to audit developments in the first quarter of 2025.
Note 13. Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were calculated as follows:

We excluded antidilutive stock options and performance share units of 11.7 million and 6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Note 14. Segment Reporting
We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, as well as gum & candy, meals and 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 which are also our reportable 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. 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.
