What was the primary driver for the decrease in Net Revenues?

The decrease in reported Net Revenues was primarily driven by unfavorable currency-related items (due to a stronger U.S. dollar) and the impact of the 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business. These factors were partially offset by higher net pricing.

Why did Operating Income decrease significantly, while Adjusted Operating Income increased?

Operating Income was significantly impacted by a large mark-to-market loss on derivatives and the comparison to prior-year operating results from the divested gum business. Adjusted Operating Income, which excludes these and other non-recurring items, increased by 17.6% due to higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity, and improved operational efficiencies.

What caused the substantial decline in Diluted EPS?

The substantial decline in Diluted EPS was primarily due to a $665 million impairment charge recognized on the company's investment in JDE Peet’s in the first quarter of 2024. Other factors included lapping prior-year gains on marketable securities and equity method investment transactions, and impacts from divestitures and tax law changes.

What is the company's outlook regarding input costs, particularly cocoa?

The company expects to continue facing higher cocoa costs in the near and medium-term due to various external factors including climate, weather, and regulatory issues. Mondelez International plans to manage these costs through hedging, pricing actions, and cost control initiatives, but acknowledges the potential impact on profitability if price increases cannot fully offset the incremental costs.
