Mondelez International, Inc. 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jan 7, 2021)

Filed January 7, 2021For Securities:MDLZ

Summary

This 8-K filing from Mondelez International (MDLZ), filed on January 7, 2021, primarily serves to disclose the retrospective adjustment of its non-GAAP financial results. The adjustments are a consequence of the company's sales of Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) ordinary shares in August and September 2020, which reduced its equity interest in KDP by 1.9%. This reduction is being treated as a divestiture in their non-GAAP reporting. Investors should note that these changes affect the company's historical non-GAAP financial results, specifically Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS), for periods including all quarters of 2020, 2019, and 2018, as well as fiscal years 2019 and 2018. The company is recasting these figures to exclude the equity method investment net earnings related to the divested portion of its KDP stake. It is crucial to understand that these adjustments are confined to non-GAAP measures and do not alter the previously reported U.S. GAAP financial results, nor do they impact other non-GAAP metrics like Organic Net Revenue or Adjusted Operating Income.
