Frequently Asked Questions
The net revenue decrease of 1.8% was primarily driven by unfavorable currency impacts, particularly the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar and the strength of the U.S. dollar against several other currencies. Unfavorable volume/mix also contributed to the decline, though it was partially offset by higher net pricing.
This loss, incurred in the first six months of 2014, resulted from a cash tender offer where Mondelez retired $1.6 billion of higher-coupon debt. The loss represents the premium paid over the debt's carrying value and the recognition of unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs. This action was part of a broader debt refinancing strategy to lower the company's overall interest expense.
The 2014-2018 Restructuring Program is designed to reduce Mondelez's operating cost structure, primarily in supply chain and overhead. It is expected to generate at least $1.5 billion in annualized savings by the end of 2018, with the majority of charges anticipated in 2015 and 2016. This initiative aims to improve margins and drive earnings growth.
Mondelez International expects Organic Net Revenue growth of 2% to 2.5% for the full year 2014. This outlook considers a slowdown in global food category growth and potential pricing adjustments to cover input cost inflation.
