For the third quarter, net revenues increased by 5.9% year-over-year to $9.7 billion, driven by higher net pricing and favorable currency impacts, partially offset by lower volume/mix. However, operating income saw a significant decrease of 35.5% to $744 million, and net earnings attributable to Mondelēz International fell 12.9% to $743 million. Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) decreased by 9.5% to $0.57.

Jul 29, 2025Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ) reported solid revenue growth for the second quarter and the first six months of 2025, driven by price increases and a strategic acquisition. Net revenues increased by 7.7% to $9.0 billion in the second quarter and 3.8% to $18.3 billion for the first six months. Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP measure excluding acquisitions, divestitures, and currency impacts, also showed healthy growth of 5.6% for the quarter and 4.3% year-to-date. This growth was primarily fueled by higher net pricing across most regions, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix and increased input costs, particularly for cocoa. Despite revenue growth, the company experienced a significant decline in net earnings and diluted EPS for the six-month period, largely due to a substantial increase in mark-to-market losses on derivatives, higher input costs, and ERP system implementation costs. The second quarter showed a better trend with increased net earnings and diluted EPS year-over-year, benefiting from a favorable year-over-year change in derivative impacts and acquisition-related items. Investors should note the ongoing challenges from elevated commodity costs, especially cocoa, and the significant investments in the new ERP system, which are expected to impact profitability in the short term, even as the company focuses on long-term value creation.

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) experienced a significant decline of 27.4% to $2.12, largely due to several one-time charges including a substantial impairment charge on an equity method investment in JDE Peet's, higher intangible asset impairment charges, and the impact of lapping prior-year gains from marketable securities and equity method investments. Despite the GAAP EPS decline, the company's Adjusted EPS, which excludes these one-time items, showed strong growth, increasing 19.1% to $2.80. This highlights the underlying operational strength and effective cost management.

Apr 28, 2016Mondelez International reported a decrease in net revenues for the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to the deconsolidation of its coffee business into Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE) and unfavorable currency movements. Despite the revenue decline, Organic Net Revenue showed modest growth, indicating resilience in core operations. The company saw a significant increase in diluted earnings per share, largely driven by one-time gains and the absence of certain prior-year expenses. Management highlighted strong performance in its Power Brands and emerging markets within its organic growth metrics. The company continues its significant restructuring efforts, aiming to improve its cost structure and drive long-term margin expansion. Investors should monitor the impact of ongoing restructuring, currency volatility, and the integration of recent equity investments like Keurig.

Oct 29, 2015Mondelez International, Inc. reported a significant increase in net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, largely driven by a substantial pre-tax gain of $7.1 billion from the contribution of its global coffee businesses to Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE). This transaction significantly impacted reported results, leading to a dramatic rise in diluted EPS. However, excluding these one-time items, adjusted EPS saw a modest increase of 0.8% year-over-year for the nine-month period, and was flat year-over-year for the third quarter, indicating underlying operational challenges and currency headwinds. Revenue performance was negatively impacted by unfavorable currency movements and the deconsolidation of the coffee business. Despite these factors, organic net revenue showed growth of 3.4% for the nine months and 3.7% for the quarter, driven by higher net pricing and Power Brand performance, particularly in emerging markets. The company is actively managing its cost structure through ongoing restructuring programs, but faces continued pressure from input costs and foreign currency fluctuations. Investors should closely examine the "Adjusted" metrics to understand the operational performance outside of significant one-time events.

The company experienced a slight decrease in net revenues, down 4.3% for the quarter and 0.3% for the six months, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and prior-year accounting calendar adjustments. However, on an "organic" basis (excluding these factors, acquisitions, and divestitures), net revenues showed growth of 3.4% for the quarter and 4.9% for the six months, driven by higher net pricing across most segments which helped offset increased input costs. The most significant event for investors in this period is the impending spin-off of the North American grocery business, which is expected to be completed on October 1, 2012. This transaction will create two independent companies: Mondelez International (focused on global snacks) and Kraft Foods Group (the new North American grocery business). The company incurred substantial "Spin-Off Costs" related to this transaction, impacting reported earnings. Despite these costs and ongoing restructuring and integration programs (Cadbury integration), the company reported growth in diluted earnings per share (EPS) of 5.5% for the quarter and 2.0% for the six months, reaching $0.58 and $1.03 respectively.

Mondelez International, Inc. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2011
May 6, 2011Mondelez International, Inc. (formerly Kraft Foods Inc.) reported a significant increase in net revenues for the first quarter of 2011, reaching $12.6 billion, up 11.1% year-over-year. This growth was largely driven by the Cadbury acquisition, which added $697 million in net revenues, and a 4.6% increase in organic net revenues reflecting higher pricing and favorable volume/mix. However, net earnings attributable to Kraft Foods shareholders saw a substantial decrease of 57.6% to $799 million, with diluted EPS falling to $0.45 from $1.16 in the prior year. This decline is primarily attributed to the significant gain from discontinued operations in the prior year ($1.01 per share from the Frozen Pizza divestiture) and increased integration program costs related to the Cadbury acquisition. Despite the GAAP net earnings decline, operating EPS from continuing operations showed growth, increasing by 6.1% to $0.52, indicating underlying operational improvements. The company is actively managing integration costs post-Cadbury acquisition, expecting significant cost savings. However, investors should note the ongoing impact of commodity price volatility and the ongoing arbitration with Starbucks over the coffee business. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with a new $4.5 billion revolving credit facility.

Despite this, the company's overall net earnings attributable to Kraft Foods increased significantly to $3.57 billion due to the inclusion of a large gain from the discontinued pizza business, which more than offset the decline in continuing operations EPS. Investors should note the significant increase in long-term debt by over $11 billion to $29.6 billion, primarily to finance the Cadbury acquisition. The company is actively managing its integration and restructuring costs, with significant charges incurred for combining operations with Cadbury.

May 7, 2010Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ), formerly Kraft Foods Inc., reported significant changes in its first quarter 2010 results, primarily driven by the substantial acquisition of Cadbury plc and the divestiture of its North American frozen pizza business. Net revenues saw a notable increase of 26.0% year-over-year, reaching $11.3 billion, largely due to the inclusion of Cadbury's operations and favorable foreign currency movements.

Despite the increased leverage, management expressed confidence in maintaining sufficient liquidity through operating cash flow, existing credit facilities, and future financing. The strategic moves signify a major transformation for the company, shifting its portfolio and global footprint. Investors should note the impact of one-time transaction and integration costs related to the Cadbury acquisition and the gain from the pizza business divestiture on the reported net earnings and EPS.
