What is the impact of the war in Ukraine on Mondelez's financial results?

The war in Ukraine resulted in $143 million in direct charges during the first quarter of 2022. These charges included asset impairments for damaged facilities and inventory, increased allowances for uncollectible receivables, and committed compensation for employees. The company has ceased new capital investments and suspended advertising in Russia but continues operations there to support food supply continuity. The full extent of the impact remains uncertain due to the ongoing nature of the conflict.

How did the acquisition of Chipita S.A. affect the company's financial performance?

Mondelez completed the acquisition of Chipita S.A. on January 3, 2022, for a total purchase price of approximately €1.7 billion ($1.9 billion). Chipita's operations contributed $169 million in incremental net revenues (on a constant currency basis) in the first quarter of 2022. The acquisition is expected to strategically complement Mondelez's existing snack portfolio and advance its goal of becoming a global leader in broader snacking.

What is the company's outlook regarding inflation and costs?

Mondelez anticipates continued price volatility and a higher aggregate cost environment in the remainder of 2022. This is driven by factors such as the war in Ukraine, ongoing supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs, labor shortages, and adverse weather. The company is addressing these pressures through hedging, pricing actions, and productivity and cost-saving measures, but acknowledges that pricing actions may lag cost changes and hedging may not fully offset all increases.

How is the company managing its liquidity and debt?

Mondelez expects cash from operations, credit facilities, and authorized financing to provide sufficient liquidity for its needs. The company generated $1.1 billion in cash from operations in Q1 2022. It also recently issued $2 billion in long-term debt and refinanced approximately $2 billion of existing debt, ahead of anticipated rising interest rates. The company's debt-to-capitalization ratio remained stable at 0.41. Overall, management believes liquidity is strong.
