Regulation FD Disclosure.

Mondelēz International, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our” or “Mondelēz International”) are furnishing this current report to provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information related to the retrospective impact of (1) our May 8, 2022 sale of JDE Peet’s (“JDEP”) shares, (2) our July 7, 2022 sale, of a business in Argentina which included several local brands and a manufacturing facility, and (3) the September 1, 2022 expiration of a Kraft Heinz Company (“KHC”) license agreement to produce and sell Kraft mayonnaise in Latin American countries, predominately Mexico.

Due to our reporting of JDEP’s results on a one-quarter lag basis, the impact of the sale of the JDEP shares will affect our non-GAAP financial results beginning with our third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Consistent with our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures, we will reflect the partial sale of our equity method investment in JDEP as well as the sale of a business in Argentina and the expiration of our KHC license agreement to produce and sell Kraft mayonnaise as divestitures. These changes will result in the recasting of our historical non-GAAP financial results and provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results, and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business.

Change to our Historical Non-GAAP Financial Results in Connection with our Sale of JDEP Shares

As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold approximately 18.6 million of our JDEP shares back to JDEP on May 8, 2022, which reduced our ownership interest by approximately 3.0% to 19.8% of the total outstanding shares. We received €500 million ($529 million) of proceeds and recorded a loss of €8 million ($8 million) during the second quarter of 2022.

We consider the approximately 3.0% ownership reduction resulting from this sale of shares a partial sale of our equity method investment in JDEP. Consistent with our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures, we consider this sale to be a divestiture. Due to our reporting of JDEP’s results on a one-quarter lag basis, the impact of the sale of these shares will affect our non-GAAP financial results beginning with the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. As such, we have removed the equity method investment net earnings results related to this partial sale of our equity method investment in JDEP from our non-GAAP financial results for Adjusted EPS for all historical periods presented. Our U.S. GAAP results, which include our historical equity method investment net earnings from JDEP, did not change from what was previously reported.

Change to our Historical Non-GAAP Financial Results in Connection with our Sale of a business in Argentina and the expiration of our KHC license agreement to produce and sell Kraft Mayonnaise

On July 7, 2022, we completed the sale of a business in Argentina including several local gum and candy brands and a manufacturing facility. In addition, our KHC license agreement to produce and sell Kraft mayonnaise in Latin America countries, predominately Mexico, expired on September 1, 2022. Consistent with the definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures, we consider these transactions to be divestitures and we removed the results of these operations from our non-GAAP financial results for Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS for all historical periods presented. Our U.S. GAAP results, which include the results of these divested operations through the divestiture closing date or license agreement expiration date noted above, did not change from what was previously reported.

Recast Amounts Reflecting Changes in Historical Non-GAAP Results

See the summary chart below and Exhibit 99.1 for the unaudited GAAP and recast non-GAAP financial information for the first two quarters and six months of 2022, all quarters of 2021 and 2020, and the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020. This supplemental disclosure does not amend any disclosure contained in any of our prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
