Frequently Asked Questions

Mondelez International reported a 9.5% increase in net revenues to $7.3 billion for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was driven by higher net pricing, favorable volume/mix, and incremental revenues from acquisitions, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation and a prior-year divestiture.

The company expects continued price volatility and a higher aggregate cost environment in 2022 due to factors such as the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs, and labor shortages. Mondelez International is addressing these challenges through hedging, productivity improvements, and pricing actions.

During the second quarter of 2022, Mondelez International announced two significant acquisitions: Clif Bar & Company for approximately $2.9 billion and Ricolino, a confectionery business, for approximately $1.3 billion. These acquisitions are expected to close in the third and second half of 2022, respectively, subject to customary closing conditions.

The war in Ukraine resulted in direct charges of $143 million in the first quarter of 2022, including asset impairments, inventory write-offs, and increased allowances for trade receivables. While approximately $15 million of these charges were reversed in the second quarter due to recoveries, the company continues to monitor the situation and its ongoing impacts on international supply chains and global markets.
