Summary
Mondelēz International, Inc. reported its second quarter and first six months of 2018 results, showing a mixed financial performance. For the second quarter, net revenues increased by 2.1% year-over-year to $6.1 billion, driven by organic growth and favorable currency impacts, although this was partially offset by divestitures. However, operating income saw a significant decline of 24.4% due to items such as pension participation changes and a substantial loss on debt extinguishment. Despite the operating income drop, adjusted EPS showed a healthy increase of 16.7% for the quarter, highlighting the company's focus on managing core operations. For the first six months of 2018, net revenues grew by 3.8% to $12.9 billion, with organic growth and favorable currency being key drivers. Operating income also increased by 16.7% for this period, reflecting improved performance over the longer term. Diluted EPS saw an increase of 15.1% for the six-month period, and adjusted EPS grew by 17.0%. The company also made a significant acquisition, Tate's Bake Shop, during the quarter, and is actively managing its cost structure through a restructuring program. Investors should note the impact of several non-recurring items on reported net earnings and EPS.
