Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview of Business and Strategy
Our core business is making and selling chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, with additional businesses in adjacent, locally relevant categories including gum & candy, meals and beverages around the world.
We aim to be the global leader in snacking. Our strategy is to drive long-term growth by focusing on four strategic priorities: accelerating consumer-centric growth, driving operational excellence, creating a winning growth culture and scaling sustainable snacking. We believe the successful implementation of our strategic priorities and leveraging of our attractive global footprint, strong core of iconic global and local brands, marketing, sales, distribution and cost excellence capabilities, and top talent with a growth mindset, will drive consistent top- and bottom-line growth, enabling us to continue to create long-term value for our shareholders.
Recent Developments and Significant Items
Macroeconomic environment
We continue to observe significant market and geopolitical uncertainty, inflationary pressures, supply constraints, trade and regulatory uncertainty and exchange rate volatility. In addition, consumer preferences continue to evolve in response to health and wellness trends. As a result, we experienced higher operating costs, including higher overall raw material, labor and energy costs. In particular, cocoa prices, while below prior year peak levels, are expected to remain elevated compared to historical levels in the near- and medium-term. Refer to Commodity Trends for additional information.
Our overall outlook for future snacks revenue growth remains strong; however, we anticipate ongoing volatility. While we have responded to elevated raw material costs with price increases for certain of our products, the elasticity impacts from those pricing increases have adversely impacted consumer demand, particularly in Europe. We will continue to proactively manage our business in response to the evolving global economic environment, related uncertainty and business risks while also prioritizing and supporting our employees and customers. We continue to take steps to mitigate impacts to our supply chain, operations, technology and assets.
Trade and Regulatory Uncertainty
In many markets, including the United States, certain products or a portion of our products, including significant inputs, are imported from other jurisdictions. As the current geopolitical environment remains unpredictable, we continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of proposed and enacted tariffs, including proposed and enacted retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions. During the first quarter of 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were unlawful. Over the period in which these tariffs were in effect, we paid approximately $20 million of tariffs under the IEEPA, of which we have received refunds for approximately $6 million as of June 30, 2026. The timing and amount of any additional refunds of these tariffs remains uncertain at this stage. As such, we have not recorded any additional anticipated IEEPA tariff refunds as of June 30, 2026. Additionally, the U.S. administration has continued to impose new tariffs under other provisions in U.S. trade law and will likely continue to do so in the future. We are evaluating the potential impact of these developments as well as our ability to mitigate the impact, as they are expected to adversely impact our revenue and cost of goods sold. If additional tariff actions are implemented, we would expect those adverse impacts on our business operations and financial performance to be significant. For most products and materials imported to the United States from Mexico and Canada, we comply with the terms of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement and are therefore not subject to tariffs on most products and materials imported from those jurisdictions. However, the current trade environment continues to evolve rapidly and there can be no assurance that such products and materials will continue to be exempt. The implementation of additional protectionist trade measures, and any further retaliatory actions taken in response, could result in increased costs and pricing pressures, disrupt consumer spending patterns, and impact market stability and consumer confidence, any or all of which could adversely affect our operating results. For additional information, see the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, including the risk entitled “We are subject to risks from changes to the trade policies and tariff and import/export regulations by the U.S. and/or other foreign governments.”

War in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine continues to subject our business in the region to periodic disruptions, which may affect production, distribution and the safety of our employees. We continue to suspend new capital investments and advertising in Russia, but we have not ceased operations because we believe that we play a role in the continuity of the food supply. We continue to evaluate our ability to control our operating activities in Ukraine and Russia and comply with applicable international sanctions. We continue to consolidate both subsidiaries. During the second quarter of 2026, Ukraine generated 0.4% and Russia generated 3.8% of our consolidated net revenue.
Our operations in Russia are subject to risks, including the temporary or permanent loss of assets due to expropriation or further curtailment of our ability to conduct business operations in Russia, which could lead to the partial or full impairment of our Russian assets or deconsolidation of our Russian operations or the termination of and loss of revenue from those operations, based on actions taken by Russia, other parties or us. For additional information, see the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, including the risk entitled “The war in Ukraine has impacted and could continue to impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.”
Developments in the Middle East
Escalation of military activity in the Middle East has affected, and may continue to affect, our operations in the region, including our manufacturing facility in Bahrain. Shipping disruptions in the Middle East and surrounding waterways have created, and may continue to create, logistical pressures, including reduced availability of certain shipping routes and increased shipping costs and transit times. While we have taken actions to divert our shipping routes, we may not be able to fully mitigate higher shipping rates, longer shipping routes and other adverse impacts in certain AMEA markets. However, to date, these developments have not had a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We continue to evaluate these developments and we cannot predict if they will have a significant impact in the future. During the second quarter of 2026, Middle Eastern countries impacted by the conflict generated less than 1.0% of our consolidated net revenue.
Extreme Price Growth in Argentina and Other Currency-Related Items
During December 2023, the Argentinean peso significantly devalued. The peso's devaluation and potential resulting distortion on our non-GAAP Organic Net Revenue, Organic Net Revenue growth and other constant currency growth rate measures resulted in our decision to exclude the impact of pricing increases in excess of 26% year-over-year ("extreme pricing") in Argentina, from these measures beginning in the first quarter of 2024. The benchmark of 26% represents the minimum annua

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As we operate globally, we are primarily exposed to currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results.
We principally utilize derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. Additionally, we periodically use interest rate swaps and forward interest rate contracts to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt based on current and projected market conditions. For additional information on our derivative activity and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our currency exchange, commodity price and interest rate exposures, see Note 6, Financial Instruments and for additional information on our debt activity, see Note 5, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.
For additional information on our strategies, policies and practices on an ongoing basis, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(2)Effective January 1, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $9.0 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2027, excluding excise taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased $210 million and, as of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $6.5 billion of share repurchase authorization remaining. See related information in Note 9, Shareholders' Equity.

Item 5. Other Information.
(c) Insider Trading Arrangements
On May 15, 2026, Dirk Van de Put, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, adopted a trading plan (the “Trading Plan”) intended to satisfy Rule 10b5-1(c) to sell the following shares of Class A Common Stock over a period ending on May 15, 2027, subject to certain conditions: (i) 577,767 shares and (ii) an additional number of shares that may be earned in connection with grants of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) which cannot be determined at this time. Assuming the PSUs vest at 100% of target, the Trading Plan would provide for the sale of up to 577,767 shares, although the actual number may vary depending on how many PSUs ultimately vest. The maximum number of shares to be sold will be reduced by any shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the vesting and settlement of the PSUs.
