Mondelēz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
Principles of Consolidation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments over which we do not have significant influence or control are not material and are carried at cost as there is no readily determinable fair value for the equity interests.
Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting
:
We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.
Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. As discussed below, beginning on July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our operations in Argentina.
Argentina.
During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates that indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar. On July 1, 2018, both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Argentinian pesos were remeasured into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, with remeasurement and other transaction gains and losses recorded in net earnings. As of
March 31, 2020
, our Argentinian operations had
$
9
million
of Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets. Our Argentinian operations contributed
$
98
million
, or
1.5
%
of consolidated net revenues in the
three months ended
March 31, 2020
. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded a remeasurement
loss
of
$
2
million
during the
three months ended
March 31, 2020
as well as a remeasurement loss of
$
2
million
during the three months ended
March 31, 2019
related to the revaluation of the Argentinian peso denominated net monetary position over these periods.
Brexit
. In the
three months ended March 31, 2020
, we generated
9.4
%
of our consolidated net revenues in the United Kingdom. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom began the withdrawal process from the European Union under the European and U.K. Parliament approved Withdrawal Agreement. During a transition period currently scheduled to end on December 31, 2020, the United Kingdom will effectively remain in the E.U.’s customs union and single market while a trade deal with the European Union is negotiated. The deadline for extending the transition period ends on June 30, 2020. If the transition period is not extended, on December 31, 2020, the United Kingdom will either exit the European Union without a trade deal or will begin a new trade relationship with the European Union. During the transition period, we continue to take protective measures in response to the potential impacts on our results of operations and financial condition. Following the Brexit vote in June 2016, there was significant volatility in the global stock markets and currency exchange rates. The value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar declined significantly and negatively affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. If the ultimate terms of the United Kingdom’s separation from the European Union negatively impact the
6
Table of Contents
U.K. economy or result in disruptions to sales or our supply chain, the impact to our results of operations and financial condition could be material. We have taken measures to increase our resources in customer service & logistics together with increasing our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the United Kingdom to help us manage through the Brexit transition and the inherent risks.
Other Countries.
Since we sell our products in over
150
countries and have operations in approximately
80
countries, we monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to these exposures, including the impacts related to the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) during the first quarter of 2020. Most countries in which we do business have recently experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty as well as exchange rate volatility. We continue to monitor the COVID-19 and other impacts to our business operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in the countries in which we operate. At this time, except for Argentina which is accounted for as a highly inflationary economy, we do not anticipate any other countries in which we operate to be at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
We also have restricted cash that is recorded within other current assets and which was
$
27
million
as of
March 31, 2020
and
$
37
million
as of December 31, 2019. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was
$
1,952
million
as of
March 31, 2020
and
$
1,328
million
as of December 31, 2019.
Allowances for Credit Losses:
The allowances for credit losses are recorded against our receivables. They are developed at a country and region level based on historical collection experiences, current economic condition of specific customers and the forecasted economic condition of countries using various factors such as bond default rates and consumption indexes. We write-off receivables once it is determined that the receivables are no longer collectible and as allowed by local laws.
Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of:
Allowance for Trade Receivables
Allowance for Other Current Receivables

Transfers of Financial Assets:
We account for transfers of financial assets, such as uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We use receivable factoring arrangements periodically when circumstances are favorable to manage liquidity. We have non-recourse factoring arrangements in which we sell eligible trade receivables primarily to banks in exchange for cash. We may then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the banks. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to
$
840
million
as of
March 31, 2020
and
$
760
million
as of
December 31, 2019
. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was not material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Non-Cash Lease Transactions:
We recorded
$
89
million
in operating lease and
$
25
million
in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the
three months ended March 31, 2020
and
$
26
million
in operating lease and
$
7
million
in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the
three months ended March 31, 2019
.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that removes certain exceptions in accounting for income taxes, improves consistency in application and clarifies existing guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for internal-use software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2020, we adopted the standard on a prospective basis and the standard did not have a material impact to our first quarter 2020 consolidated financial results.
In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard and reflect the changes to our 2020 annual disclosures. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to measure the impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective basis and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
On April 1, 2020, we acquired a significant majority interest in Give & Go, a North American leader in fully-finished sweet baked goods and owners of the famous
two-bite
®
brand of brownies and the
Create-A-Treat
®
brand, known for cookie and gingerbread house decorating kits. The acquisition of Give and Go provides access to the in-store bakery channel as well as expands our position in broader snacking. The purchase consideration for Give & Go totaled approximately
$
1.2
billion
. Funding for the acquisition consisted of short-term borrowings and cash on hand. We are currently in the process of determining the allocation of the purchase price, which we expect to predominantly be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. During the first quarter of 2020, we incurred
$
5
million
of acquisition-related costs.
On July 16, 2019, we acquired a majority interest in a U.S. refrigerated nutrition bar company, Perfect Snacks, within our North America segment for
$
284
million
cash paid, net of cash received, and expanded our position in broader snacking. During the first quarter of 2020, we finalized the purchase price allocation of
$
31
million
to definite-lived intangible assets,
$
107
million
to indefinite-lived intangible assets,
$
150
million
to goodwill,
$
1
million
to property, plant and equipment,
$
12
million
to inventory,
$
8
million
to accounts receivable,
$
13
million
to current liabilities,
$
3
million
to deferred tax liabilities and
$
9
million
to other liabilities. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of
$
32
million
and an immaterial amount of incremental operating income during the three months ended
March 31, 2020
.
On May 28, 2019, we completed the sale of most of our cheese business in the Middle East and Africa to Arla Foods of Denmark. In 2019, we received cash proceeds of
$
161
million
and divested
$
19
million
of current assets and
$
96
million
of non-current assets. We also recorded a net pre-tax gain of
$
44
million
on the sale. The divestiture resulted in a quarter-over-quarter decline in net revenues of
$
33
million
and an immaterial amount of lost operating income during the three months ended
March 31, 2020
.

biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A. and Cadbury Limited. Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of brands, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements.
Amortization expense for intangible assets was
$
43
million
for the
three months ended March 31, 2020
and
$
44
million
for the
three months ended March 31, 2019
. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately
$
170
million
in 2020, approximately
$
90
million
in 2021 and approximately
$
80
million
in 2022-2024 (reflecting
March 31, 2020
exchange rates).

During our 2019 annual testing of non-amortizable intangible assets, we recorded
$
57
million
of impairment charges in the third quarter of 2019 related to
nine
brands. We recorded charges related to gum, chocolate, biscuits and candy brands of
$
39
million
in Europe,
$
15
million
in AMEA and
$
3
million
in Latin America. We also identified
fourteen
brands, including the
nine
impaired brands, with
$
616
million
of aggregate book value as of
March 31, 2020
, that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. We believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to not be impaired, but if the brand earnings expectations are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, then a brand or brands could become impaired in the future.
During Q1 2020, we evaluated our goodwill and intangible asset impairment risk using both qualitative and quantitative analysis and in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Based on the financial performance of our goodwill reporting units and intangible assets during the first quarter of 2020 and review of other significant fair value assumptions, we concluded that no impairment indicators were present that would require a full impairment assessment. We will continue to monitor the potential for asset impairment risk over coming quarters.

Note 6. Equity Method Investments
Equity method investments consist of our investments in entities in which we maintain an equity ownership interest and apply the equity method of accounting due to our ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs. Revenue and expenses of our equity method investees are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each investee is reflected as equity method investment net earnings
.
The carrying values of our equity method investments are also impacted by our proportionate share of items impacting the investee's accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and other items, such as our share of investee dividends.
Our equity method investments include, but are not limited to, our ownership interests in Jacobs Douwe Egberts ("JDE"), Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NYSE: "KDP"), Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. As of
March 31, 2020
, we owned
26.4
%
,
13.1
%
,
50.0
%
and
49.0
%
, respectively, of these companies' outstanding shares.
Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled
$
6,887
million
as of
March 31, 2020
and
$
7,212
million
as of
December 31, 2019
. We recorded equity earnings and cash dividends of
$
138
million
and
$
165
million
in the first three months of 2020 and equity earnings and cash dividends of
$
113
million
and
$
160
million
in the first three months of 2019.
Keurig Dr Pepper Transactions:
On July 9, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. ("Keurig") closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed KDP, a publicly traded company. Following the close of the transaction, our
24.2
%
investment in Keurig together with our shareholder loan receivable became a
13.8
%
investment in KDP. During 2018, we recorded a net pre-tax gain of
$
778
million
(or
$
586
million
after-tax). We hold
two
director positions on the KDP board as well as additional governance rights. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in KDP under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows.
In connection with this transaction, we changed our accounting principle during the third quarter of 2018 to reflect our share of Keurig's historical and KDP's ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis while we continue to record dividends when cash is received. We determined a lag was preferable as it enables us to continue to report our quarterly and annual results on a timely basis and to record our share of KDP’s ongoing results once KDP has publicly reported its results. The change was retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.
During the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a pre-tax gain of
$
23
million
(or
$
18
million
after-tax) related to the impact of a KDP acquisition that decreased our ownership interest from
13.8
%
to
13.6
%
.
On March 4, 2020, we participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately
6.8
million
shares, which reduced our ownership interest by
0.5
%
to
13.1
%
of the total outstanding shares. We received
$
185
million
of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of
$
71
million
(or
$
54
million
after-tax) during the three months ended
March 31, 2020
. We continue to retain significant influence.
Based on the quoted closing price as of
March 31, 2020
, the fair value of our investment in KDP was
$
4.5
billion
, which exceeded the carrying value of our investment.

Note 7. Restructuring Program
On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a
$
3.5
billion
2014-2018 restructuring program and up to
$
2.2
billion
of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a
$
600
million
reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so the
$
5.7
billion
program consisted of approximately
$
4.1
billion
of restructuring program charges (
$
3.1
billion
cash costs and
$
1.0
billion
non-cash costs) and up to
$
1.6
billion
of capital expenditures. On September 6, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2022, an increase of
$
1.3
billion
in the program charges and an increase of
$
700
million
in capital expenditures. The total
$
7.7
billion
program now consists of
$
5.4
billion
of program charges (
$
4.1
billion
of cash costs and
$
1.3
billion
of non-cash costs) and total capital expenditures of
$
2.3
billion
to be incurred over the life of the program. The current restructuring program, as increased and extended by these actions, is now called the Simplify to Grow Program.
The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and implementation charges of
$
4.4
billion
related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the program charges by year-end 2022.

months of
2020
and
$

in the first

months of
2019
within asset impairment and exit costs and benefit plan non-service income. We spent

in the first

2020
and
$
53
million
in the first
three
months of
2019
in cash severance and related costs. We also recognized non-cash pension settlement losses (refer to
Note 10,
Benefit Plans
), non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments totaling
$
3
million
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
$

million
in the first

months of
2019
. At
March 31, 2020
,
$
243
million
of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and
$
22
million
was recorded within other long-term liabilities.
Implementation Costs:
Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our Simplify to Grow Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of
$
43
million
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
$
50
million
in the first
three
months of
2019
. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

On March 24, 2020, we entered into a
$
1.75
billion
revolving credit agreement for a
364
-day senior unsecured credit facility that expires on March 23, 2021. On April 1, 2020, we increased the credit facility from
$
1.75
billion
to
$
1.95
billion
. The agreement includes terms and conditions similar to our existing
$
4.5
billion
multi-year credit facility discussed below with the exception of a requirement that, once the mandatory repayment obligations of the
$
2.5
billion
revolving credit facility described below are satisfied, any proceeds from additional long-term debt issuances of up to
$
1.95
billion
must be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and reduce the remaining capacity. As of March 31, 2020,
no
amounts were drawn on the facility.
On March 6, 2020, we entered into a
$
2.5
billion
revolving credit agreement for a
364
-day unsecured credit facility that expires on March 5, 2021. The agreement includes terms and conditions similar to our existing
$
4.5
billion
multi-year credit facility discussed below with the exception of a requirement that any proceeds from long-term debt issuances of up to
$
2.5
billion
in aggregate must be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and reduce the remaining capacity. On March 12, 2020, we borrowed
$
1.0
billion
as a strategic decision to increase cash on hand in light of the uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. During April 2020, we drew an additional
$
1.25
billion
on the facility primarily to fund the acquisition of Give & Go. Subsequently, we repaid
$
1.25
billion
of the facility and reduced the size of the credit facility to
$
1.5
billion
resulting in a remaining draw capacity of
$
0.5
billion
.
On February 26, 2020, we entered into a
$
1.5
billion
revolving credit agreement for a
364
-day senior unsecured credit facility that expires on February 24, 2021. The agreement replaces our previous credit agreement that was scheduled to expire on February 26, 2020 and includes the same terms and conditions as our existing
$
4.5
billion
multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of March 31, 2020,
no
amounts were drawn on the facility.
We also maintain a
$
4.5
billion
multi-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. The credit facility is scheduled to expire on
February 27, 2024
. The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders' equity of at least
$
24.6
billion
, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses), the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles and earnings/(losses) recognized in connection with the ongoing application of any mark-to-market accounting for pensions and other retirement plans. At
March 31, 2020
, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was
$
37.3
billion
. The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. As of
March 31, 2020
,
no
amounts were drawn on the facility.
Long-Term Debt:
On April 13, 2020, we issued
$
1.0

$
500
million
2.125
%
notes that mature on April 13, 2023 and
$
500
million
2.750
%
notes that mature on April 13, 2030. We received proceeds of
$
991.3
million
, net of discounts and associated financing costs. The proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement. We recorded approximately
$
8.7
million
of deferred financing costs and discounts that will be amortized evenly into interest expense over the life of the notes.
On March 30, 2020, fr
225
million
(or
$
235
million
) of our
0.05

Fair Value of Our Debt:
The fair value of our short-term borrowings at
March 31, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
reflects current market interest rates and approximates the amounts we have recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 valuation data) for the publicly traded debt obligations. At

Net investment hedge derivative contracts consist of cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts. We also designate some of our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to hedge a portion of our net investments in our non-U.S. operations. This debt is not reflected in the table above, but is included in long-term debt discussed in
Note 8,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
. Both net investment hedge derivative contracts and non-U.S. dollar denominated debt acting as net investment hedges are also disclosed in the

Derivatives designated as accounting hedges include cash flow and net investment hedge derivative contracts. Our currency exchange and commodity derivative contracts are economic hedges that are not designated as accounting hedges. We record derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our asset derivatives is recorded within other current assets and the fair value of our liability derivatives is recorded within other current liabilities.

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges.
Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency exchange forwards, options and swaps; commodity forwards and options; and interest rate swaps. Our currency exchange contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Our OTC derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

4
years and
6
months.
Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations:
Net investment hedge ("NIH") derivative contracts:
We enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forwards to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. The aggregate notional value as of

$
10
million
to our U.S. pension plans and
$
62
million
to our non-U.S. pension plans, including
$
28
million
to plans in the United Kingdom and Ireland. We make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local funding arrangements and statutory minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contributions are made to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability.
As of
March 31, 2020
, over the remainder of
2020
, we plan to make further contributions of approximately
$
6
million
to our U.S. plans and approximately
$
128
million
to our non-U.S. plans. Our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.

The grant date fair value of performance share units is determined based on the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for performance-based components. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the probability of achieving the total shareholder return market condition. Compensation expense is recognized using the grant date fair values regardless of whether the market condition is achieved, so long as the requisite service has been provided.
Share Repurchase Program:
Between 2013 and 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a total of
$
13.7
billion
of our Common Stock through
December 31, 2018
. On
January 31, 2018
, our Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, approved an increase of
$
6.0
billion
in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to
$
19.7
billion
of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through
December 31, 2020
. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2020, we had repurchased
$
16.5
billion
of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the
three months ended March 31, 2020
, we repurchased approximately
12.9
million
shares of Common Stock at an average cost of
$
54.25
per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately
$
0.7
billion
, all of which was paid during the period. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of
March 31, 2020
, we have
$
2.5
billion
in remaining share repurchase capacity.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings:
We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims, disputes, regulatory matters and governmental inspections or investigations arising in the ordinary course of or incidental to our business, including those noted below in this section. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters we have not provided for that are reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome, management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss or such amounts have been determined to be immaterial. At present we believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position.
On
April 1, 2015
, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") filed a complaint against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court"), Eastern Division (the “CFTC action”) following its investigation of activities related to the
21
Table of Contents
trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the spin-off of Kraft Foods Group. The complaint alleges that Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global (1) manipulated or attempted to manipulate the wheat markets during the fall of 2011; (2) violated position limit levels for wheat futures and (3) engaged in non-competitive trades by trading both sides of exchange-for-physical Chicago Board of Trade wheat contracts. The CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties of either triple the monetary gain for each violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (the “Act”) or
$
1
million
for each violation of Section 6(c)(1), 6(c)(3) or 9(a)(2) of the Act and
$
140,000
for each additional violation of the Act, plus post-judgment interest; an order of permanent injunction prohibiting Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global from violating specified provisions of the Act; disgorgement of profits; and costs and fees. On August 15, 2019, the District Court approved a settlement agreement between the CFTC and Mondelēz Global. The terms of the settlement, which are available in the District Court’s docket, had an immaterial impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. On October 23, 2019, following a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit regarding Mondelēz Global's allegations that the CFTC and its Commissioners violated certain terms of the settlement agreement and the CFTC's argument that the Commissioners were not bound by the terms of the settlement agreement, the District Court vacated the settlement agreement and reinstated all pending motions that the District Court had previously mooted as a result of the settlement.
The parties have reached a new agreement in principle to resolve the CFTC action and have submitted the settlement to the District Court for approval. The District Court has scheduled a conference on June 4, 2020 to discuss the proposed settlement agreement. Additionally, several class action complaints were filed against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global in the District Court by investors in wheat futures and options on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated. The complaints make similar allegations as those made in the CFTC action, and the plaintiffs are seeking class action certification; monetary damages, interest and unjust enrichment; costs and fees; and injunctive, declaratory and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the District Court. On January 3, 2020, the District Court granted plantiffs' request to certify a class. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to bear any monetary penalties or other payments in connection with the CFTC action. Although the CFTC action and the class action complaints involve the same alleged conduct, a resolution or decision with respect to one of the matters may not be dispositive as to the outcome of the other matter.
In November 2019, the European Commission informed us that it has initiated an investigation into our alleged infringement of European Union competition law through certain practices restricting cross-border trade within the European Economic Area. We are cooperating with the investigation and expect to engage further with the European Commission as their investigation proceeds. It is not possible to predict how long the investigation will take or the ultimate outcome of this matter.
On August 21, 2018, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (“VDEQ”) issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) to Mondelēz Global. In the NOV, the VDEQ alleges that in our Richmond bakery, one operating line did not have the proper minimum temperature on its pollution control equipment and that the bakery failed to provide certain observation and training records. The VDEQ indicated that the alleged violations may lead to a fine and/or injunctive relief. We are working with the VDEQ to reach a resolution of this matter. We expect the penalty we will pay related to this matter will be less than $100,000 and thus do not expect this matter to have a material effect on our financial results.
Third-Party Guarantees:
We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At
March 31, 2020
, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Tax Matters:
We are a party to various tax matter proceedings incidental to our business. These proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could subject us to additional tax liabilities and could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial position.

Note 14. Income Taxes
As of the
first
quarter of
2020
, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was
25.2
%
. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020
of
21.2
%
was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of
$
28
million
, primarily driven by a
$
22
million
net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions.
As of the
first
quarter of
2019
, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was
25.9
%
. This reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
of
19.4
%
was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of
$
63
million
, primarily driven by
$

million
of benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in various jurisdictions.

Note 16. Segment Reporting
We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy and various cheese & grocery products, as well as powdered beverage products.
We manage our global business and report operating results through geographic units. We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.
24
Table of Contents
Our operations and management structure are organized into
four
operating segments:
• Latin America
• AMEA
• Europe
• North America
We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. We exclude these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Furthermore, we centrally manage benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Description of the Company
We make and sell primarily snacks, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy as well as various cheese & grocery and powdered beverage products. We have operations in approximately 80 countries and sell our products in over 150 countries.
We aim to be the global leader in snacking. Our strategy is to drive long-term growth by focusing on three strategic priorities: accelerating consumer-centric growth, driving operational excellence and creating a winning growth culture. We believe the successful implementation of our strategic priorities and our leveraging our strong foundation of iconic global and local brands, an attractive global footprint, our market leadership in developed and emerging markets, our deep innovation, marketing and distribution capabilities, and our efficiency and sustainability efforts, will drive top- and bottom-line growth, enabling us to continue to create long-term value for our shareholders.
Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability
COVID-19
We have been actively monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact globally. Our highest priorities have been the safety of our employees and working with our employees and network of suppliers and customers to help maintain the global food supply chain.
During the first quarter of 2020, we experienced a significant increase in demand and revenue growth in developed markets as consumers increased their food purchases for in-home consumption. Results were particularly strong in modern trade (such as large grocery supermarkets and retail chains) and e-commerce, especially for some categories like biscuits. Other parts of our business were negatively affected by mandated lockdowns and other related restrictions including some of our emerging markets with a greater concentration of traditional trade (such as small family-run stores) as well as our travel retail (such as international duty-free stores) and foodservice businesses. We also experienced temporary disruptions in operations in some of our emerging market that were not material to our consolidated results for the first quarter of 2020. We discuss these and other impacts of COVID-19 below and provide more information on risks related to COVID-19 under Item 1A,
Risk Factors
.
Our Employees, Customers and Communities
We have taken a number of actions to promote the health and safety of our employees, customers and consumers, which is our first priority:
•
We implemented enhanced protocols to provide a safe and sanitary working environment for our employees. In many locations, our employees are working remotely whenever possible. For employees who are unable to work remotely, we have adopted a number of heightened protocols, consistent with those prescribed by the World Health Organization, related to social distancing (including staggering lunchtimes and shifts where possible and restricting in-person gatherings and non-essential travel) and enhanced hygiene and workplace sanitation. At a local level, we have also provided additional flexibility and support to employees in our manufacturing facilities, distribution and logistics operations and sales organization.
•
On March 23, 2020, we announced that we expect to hire 1,000 U.S. employees to promote the uninterrupted functioning of our U.S. distribution and sales network as we respond to additional marketplace demand and reinforce our workforce.
•
We also announced a $15 million global commitment to assist those most impacted by COVID-19. We are supporting local and global organizations that are responding to food instability and providing emergency relief.
Our Supply Chain and Operations
We operate in the food and beverages industry and are part of the global food supply chain. One of our main objectives as this crisis unfolds is to maintain the availability of our products to meet the needs of our consumers. In response to increased demand, we have increased production and to date, we have not experienced material disruptions in our supply chain or operations:
•
We are leveraging learnings from our timely response to the initial outbreak in China, and we put in place procedures across our supply chain to help mitigate the risk that our manufacturing sites experience material closures or disruptions.
27
Table of Contents
•
We have been able to source raw ingredients, packaging, energy and transportation and deliver our products to our customers.
•
We have not experienced material disruptions in our workforce; however, mandatory and voluntary stay-at-home restrictions have resulted in increased levels of absenteeism.
•
Commodity costs have become more volatile due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Although we monitor our exposure to commodity prices and hedge against input price increases, we cannot fully hedge against changes in commodity costs, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. We anticipate continued commodity cost volatility as the pandemic continues.
•
We have experienced temporary disruptions in operations in some of our emerging markets that were not material to our consolidated results for the first quarter of 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak could disrupt our global supply chain, operations and routes to market or those of our suppliers, their suppliers, or our co-manufacturers or distributors. These disruptions or our failure to effectively respond to them could increase product or distribution costs, prices and potentially affect the availability of our products.
•
Our first quarter net revenue and net earnings in U.S. dollars were negatively affected by currency translation losses from a generally stronger U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in the countries in which we operate.
•
While our global supply chain and operations are currently not materially negatively affected, we do not know whether or how they may be negatively affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period. While we respond to this evolving situation, we intend to continue to execute on our strategic operating plans. However, disruptions or uncertainties like those noted above could result in delays or modifications to our plans and initiatives.
Our Liquidity
We believe the steps we have taken to enhance our capital structure and liquidity over the last several years and months have strengthened our ability to operate through current conditions:
•
During 2019, we generated $4.0 billion of cash from operations, or $3.0 billion after deducting capital expenditures.
•
During the first quarter of 2020, we generated
$284 million
of cash from operations, or
$70 million
after capital expenditures. As discussed further in
Note 8,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
, we also increased our borrowing capacity under our credit facilities to $10.25 billion, and on March 12, 2020, we borrowed $1.0 billion under one of the credit facilities as a strategic decision to increase cash on hand in light of the uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. During the quarter, we also received $185 million of cash related to our participation in the Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("KDP") secondary offering, as a cautionary measure we suspended our share repurchase program in March and we repaid $662 million of maturing long-term debt. At March 31, 2020, we had $1.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $9.25 billion of available net borrowing capacity under our credit facilities.
•
In April 2020, we closed on the Give & Go acquisition in North America and paid approximately $1.2 billion from cash on hand and an increase in our borrowings under one of our credit facilities. We subsequently issued $1.0 billion of U.S. dollar denominated long-term notes and used the net proceeds to repay a portion of the amounts borrowed under one of our credit facilities. At April 28, 2020, our available net borrowing capacity under our credit facilities was $8.45 billion. Refer to
Note 8,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
, for additional information.
•
Based on our current access to cash and financing, we do not anticipate any issue in funding our next long-term debt maturities of approximately $750 million in May 2020 and approximately $140 million in October 2020.
•
While the commercial paper market has become significantly more volatile in recent weeks, we have continued to be able to raise short-term financing from these markets. We have also been able to draw on our available credit facilities and access funds through existing lines of credit and intercompany loans. We may also issue additional long-term debt this year. We have been, and we expect to continue to be, in compliance with our debt covenants.
•
In the event of a broader economic or credit crisis, credit availability and our ability to raise capital when needed could become impaired. A disruption in the financial markets may also have a negative effect on our derivative counterparties and could also impair our banking or other business partners, on whom we rely for access to capital and as counterparties for a number of our derivative contracts. Any of these or other developments we may not be able to fully predict or respond to could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Financial Position
•
We evaluated the realizability of our assets and whether there were any impairment indicators in the first quarter, which included a review of our receivables, inventory, right-of-use lease assets, long-lived assets, equity method and other long-term investments, goodwill and intangible assets. We concluded that as of the end of the first quarter of 2020, our assets were fairly stated and recoverable.
•
Restructuring and implementation activities in the first quarter were consistent with our expectations and our Simplify to Grow Program strategic objectives. We did not incur significant restructuring or implementation costs specifically in response to COVID-19.
•
We will continue to monitor the quality of our assets and our overall financial position over coming quarters.
•
We also continue to hold our equity investments in Jacobs Douwe Egberts ("JDE") and KDP, which give us additional financial flexibility.
The business and economic environment is changing rapidly and additional impacts may arise that we cannot currently anticipate. While there is still significant uncertainty about the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global economy and on our business, barring material business disruptions or other negative developments, we anticipate continuing to meet the demand of consumers for our snacks, food and beverage products. However, elevated consumer demand we experienced in the first quarter of 2020 may not continue indefinitely and could decline. We are unable to predict how long this sustained demand will last or how significant it will be. We expect the COVID-19 outbreak to result in lower revenues in some of our emerging market countries that have a higher concentration of traditional trade outlets (such as small family-run stores), as well as in our travel retail (such as international duty-free stores) and foodservice businesses. We could also see declines in developed markets if current demand tapers off due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and response. We continue to communicate with and support our employees and customers; monitor and take steps to further safeguard our supply chain, operations, technology and assets; protect our liquidity and financial position; work toward our strategic priorities and monitor our financial performance as we seek to position the Company to withstand the current uncertainty related to this pandemic.
Keurig Dr Pepper Secondary Offering
On March 4, 2020, we participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately 6.8 million shares, which reduced our ownership interest by 0.5% to 13.1% of the total outstanding shares. We received $185 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $71 million (or $54 million after-tax) during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Refer to
Note 6,
Equity Method Investments
, for additional information on our investment in KDP and related gains on equity method investment transactions.
Summary of Results
•
Net revenues
increased
2.6%
to
$6.7 billion
in the first
three
months of
2020
as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net revenues were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and response. In developed markets, particularly North America, demand for our products grew significantly as consumers increased their food purchases for in-home consumption. In some of our emerging markets, where we have a greater concentration of traditional trade, as well as in our travel retail and foodservice businesses, net revenues were negatively affected by mandated lockdowns and other related restrictions. Overall, favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing as well as incremental net revenues from our July 16, 2019 acquisition of Perfect Snacks drove our net revenue increase. These items were partially offset by the significant impact of unfavorable currency translation, as the U.S. dollar strengthened against most currencies in which we operate compared to exchange rates in the prior year, and a prior-year divestiture of most of our cheese business in the Middle East and Africa.
•
Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure,
increased
6.4%
to
$6.9 billion
in the first
three
months of
2020
as compared to same period in the prior year. During the first
three
months of
2020
, Organic Net Revenue also grew due to favorable volume/mix, in part driven by increased consumer demand during the COVID-19 outbreak, and higher net pricing. Refer to our
Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability
above and
Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results
below
,
including the
Results of Operations by Reportable Segment,
for additional information. Organic Net Revenue is on a constant currency basis and excludes revenue from acquisitions and divestitures. We use Organic Net Revenue as it provides improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying operating results (see the definition of Organic Net Revenue and our reconciliation with net revenues within
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
appearing later in this section).

•
Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International
decreased
17.5%
to
$0.52
in the first
three
months of
2020
as compared to the same period in the prior year. The
decrease
was primarily driven by unfavorable year-over-year mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, a loss related to an interest rate swap and unfavorable currency translation, partially offset by higher gains on equity method investment transactions, operating gains, an increase in equity method investment earnings, fewer shares outstanding and lower taxes.
•
Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure,
increased
6.2%
to
$0.69
in the first
three
months of
2020
as compared to the same period in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS
increased
10.8%
to
$0.72
in the first
three
months of
2020
as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the first
three
months of
2020
, operating gains, an increase in equity method investment earnings, fewer shares outstanding and lower taxes were significant drivers of growth. Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures. We use these measures as they provide improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying results (see the definition of Adjusted EPS and our reconciliation with diluted EPS within
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
appearing later in this section).
Financial Outlook
We seek to achieve profitable, long-term growth and manage our business to attain this goal using our key operating metrics: Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS. We use these non-GAAP financial metrics and related computations, particularly growth in profit dollars, to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near- and long-term operating and strategic decisions. As such, we believe these metrics are useful to investors as they provide supplemental information in addition to our U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") financial results. We believe it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that we use internally to make comparisons of our historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and evaluate our business. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures should always be considered in relation to our GAAP results. We have provided reconciliations between our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in
Non-GAAP Financial Measures,
which appears later in this section.
In addition to monitoring our key operating metrics, we monitor developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives, similar to those we highlighted in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
and discussed in the footnotes to our financial statements.
•
Market conditions.
Snack categories continued to grow in the first quarter of 2020, in part due to increased consumer demand for snacks purchases for in-home consumption during the COVID-19 outbreak. As further discussed below and in Item 3,
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
, volatility in global consumer, commodity, currency and capital markets increased significantly during the first quarter of 2020 and is expected to continue while and until the COVID-19 outbreak is largely resolved.
•
COVID-19.
We have been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak. While its full impact is not yet known, it has had a material negative effect on the economy and could have a material negative effect on our business and results in 2020, particularly if there are significant adverse changes to consumer demand or significant disruptions to the supply, production or distribution of our products or the credit or financial stability of our customers and other business partners. An economic or credit crisis could occur and impair credit availability and our ability to raise capital when needed. A disruption in the financial markets may also have a negative effect on our derivative counterparties and could also impair our banking or other business partners, on whom we rely for access to capital and as counterparties for a number of our derivative contracts. Any of these and other developments could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We will continue to prioritize the safety of our employees and consumers. We expect increased labor, customer service, logistics and other costs and we anticipate a shift in product mix that could have a negative impact on results. As discussed in
Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability
, we are working to mitigate any negative impacts to our business from the COVID-19 outbreak, but we may not be able to fully predict or respond to all impacts on a timely basis to prevent near- and long-term adverse impacts to our results.
•
Brexit.
On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom began the withdrawal process from the European Union under the European and U.K. Parliament approved Withdrawal Agreement. During a transition period currently scheduled to end on December 31, 2020, the United Kingdom will effectively remain in the E.U.’s customs union and single market while a trade deal with the European Union is negotiated. The deadline for extending the transition period ends on June 30, 2020. If the transition period is not extended, on December 31, 2020, the United Kingdom will either exit the European Union without a trade deal or will begin a new trade relationship with the European Union. During the transition period, we continue to take protective measures in response to the potential impacts on our results of operations and financial

condition. Our exposure to disruptions to our supply chain, the imposition of tariffs and currency devaluation in the United Kingdom could result in a material impact to our consolidated revenue, earnings and cash flow. In the
three months ended March 31, 2020
, we generated
9.4%
of our consolidated net revenues in the United Kingdom and our supply chain in this market relies on imports of raw and packaging materials as well as finished goods. Following the Brexit vote in June 2016, there was significant volatility in the global stock markets and currency exchange rates. The value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar declined significantly and negatively affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. The volatility in foreign currencies and other markets is expected to continue as the United Kingdom executes its exit from the European Union. If the U.K.'s membership in the European Union terminates without trade and other cross-border operating agreements, there could be increased costs from re-imposition of tariffs on trade between the United Kingdom and other countries, including those in the European Union, shipping delays because of the need for customs inspections and procedures and shortages of certain goods. The United Kingdom will also need to negotiate its own tax and trade treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. If the ultimate terms of the U.K.’s separation from the European Union negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disruptions to sales or our supply chain, the impact to our results of operations and financial condition could be material. We have taken measures to increase our resources in customer service & logistics together with increasing our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the United Kingdom to help us manage through the Brexit transition and the inherent risks. Resulting impacts and market volatility can vary significantly depending on the final terms of the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.
•
Taxes
. During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded the impact of Swiss tax reform and we continue to monitor for any additional interpretative guidance that could result in changes to the amounts we have recorded. In the United States, while the 2017 U.S. tax reform reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate and included some beneficial provisions, other provisions have, and in the future will have, an adverse effect on our results. We continue to evaluate the impacts as additional guidance on implementing the legislation becomes available. While additional guidance has been issued by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department, there are still some areas that may not be clarified for some time. Also, a number of U.S. states have not updated their laws to take into account the new federal legislation. As a result, there may be additional impacts of the new laws on our future results of operations and financial condition. It is possible that U.S. or Swiss tax reform or related interpretations could change and have an adverse effect on us that could be material. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information on Swiss and U.S. tax reform.
•
Argentina
. As further discussed in
Note 1,
Basis of Presentation
– Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting,
we continue to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries, and during the
three months ended
March 31, 2020
, we recorded a remeasurement
loss
of
$2 million
within selling, general and administrative expenses related to the revaluation of our Argentinian peso denominated net monetary position. The mix of monetary assets and liabilities and the exchange rate to convert Argentinian pesos to U.S. dollars could change over time, so it is difficult to predict the overall impact of the Argentina highly inflationary accounting on future net earnings.

Net revenue
increase
of
2.6%
was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of
6.4%
and the impact of an acquisition, partially offset by unfavorable currency and the impact of a prior-year divestiture. Net revenues were higher in developed markets, particularly North America, where due to the COVID-19 outbreak and response, demand for our products grew significantly as consumers increased their food purchases for in-home consumption. In some of our emerging markets, where we have a greater concentration of traditional trade, as well as in our travel retail and foodservice businesses, revenues were negatively affected by mandated lockdowns and other related restrictions. Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by both favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume/mix was reflected in all regions except Latin America. Net pricing was up, which includes the benefit of carryover pricing from 2019 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2020. Higher net pricing was reflected in all regions. The July 16, 2019 acquisition of a majority interest in Perfect Snacks added incremental net revenues of $32 million in the first
three
months of 2020. Unfavorable currency impacts decreased net revenues by $249 million, due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies, including the Brazilian real, Argentinian peso, euro, Australian dollar and British pound sterling. The impact of the divestiture of most of our cheese business in the Middle East and Africa on May 28, 2019 resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $33 million. Refer to

– Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting
, for information on our application of highly inflationary accounting for Argentina.
During the first
three
months of
2020
, we realized higher net pricing, which was mostly offset by increased input costs. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2019 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2020, was reflected across all regions. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, as manufacturing costs were essentially flat as productivity was offset by COVID-19 related costs. Higher raw material costs were in part due to higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, as well as higher dairy, energy, packaging, grains and other ingredients costs, partially offset by lower costs for sugar and cocoa. Favorable volume/mix was driven by North America and Europe, which was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in Latin America and AMEA.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses
increased
$44 million
from the first
three
months of
2019
, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, the impact of an acquisition and acquisition-related costs incurred in the first three months of 2020, which were more than offset by a favorable currency impact related to expenses, lapping a prior-year VAT-related settlement, lower implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to

Table of Contents
Grow Program, lower CEO transition remuneration and the impact from a prior-year divestiture. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$85 million
from the first
three
months of
2019
. The increase was driven primarily by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and higher overheads reflecting route-to-market investments.
We recorded an expense of $9 million from a VAT-related settlement in Latin America in the first
three
months of 2019. Unfavorable currency changes decreased operating income by $46 million due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies, including the Argentinian peso, Brazilian real, euro, Australian dollar, British pound sterling and Chinese yuan.

decreased
from
15.8%
in the first
three
months of
2019
to
12.8%
in the first
three
months of
2020
. The
decrease
in operating income margin was driven primarily by the year-over-year unfavorable change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities and lower Adjusted Operating Income margin, partially offset by lower Simplify to Grow Program costs. Adjusted Operating Income margin
decreased
from 16.8% for the first
three
months of
2019
to 16.5% for first
three
months of
2020
. The
decrease
in Adjusted Operating Income margin was driven primarily by higher raw material costs and higher advertising and promotion costs, partially offset by higher pricing and overhead cost leverage.

Results of Operations by Reportable Segment
Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments:
•
Latin America
•
AMEA
•
Europe
•
North America
We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.
We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. See

(

), due to unfavorable currency (16.3 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (1.9 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (8.9 pp). Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies in the region including the Brazilian real, Argentinian peso and Mexican peso. Unfavorable volume/mix was due to the impact of pricing-related elasticity and COVID-19 related impacts which emerged late in the quarter. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in refreshment beverages, gum, chocolate and candy, partially offset by gains in biscuits and cheese & grocery. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories, driven primarily by Argentina and Mexico.

Unfavorable currency impacts were due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies in the region, including the Australian dollar, Chinese yuan, South African rand and Indian rupee. The divestiture of most of our cheese business in the Middle East and Africa on May 28, 2019, resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $33 million. Higher net pricing was driven by refreshment beverages and biscuits, partially offset by lower net pricing in chocolate, candy, gum and cheese & grocery. Favorable volume/mix, despite the negative impact from COVID-19 related lockdowns impacting our traditional trade markets, was driven by gains in biscuits, chocolate and cheese & grocery, partially offset by declines in gum, refreshment beverages and candy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that cash from operations, our revolving credit facilities, short-term borrowings and our authorized long-term financing will continue to provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and future payments of our contractual, tax and benefit plan obligations and payments for acquisitions, share repurchases and quarterly dividends. In light of the current uncertainty in the global markets related to the COVID-19 outbreak, however, an economic or credit crisis could occur and impair credit availability and our ability to raise capital when needed. A disruption in the financial markets could also impair our banking and other business partners, on whom we rely for access to capital and as counterparties for a number of our derivative contracts. Any of these and other developments could materially harm our access to capital or financial condition. As a precautionary measure and to preserve financial flexibility, we increased our credit facility borrowing capacity and increased our cash position by borrowing under one of our credit facilities. Refer to
Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability
and
Note 8,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
, for additional details. We also continue to utilize our commercial paper program and international credit lines and evaluate long-term debt issuances to meet our short- and longer-term funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity, however if a serious economic or credit market crisis ensues, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$284 million
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
$465 million
in the first
three
months of
2019
. The
decrease
in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to payments of effective interest rate swap cash settlements and payments for several indirect tax matters that were resolved during the fourth quarter of 2019 under a tax amnesty program in India.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities:
Net cash used in investing activities was
$55 million
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
$223 million
in the first
three
months of
2019
. The
decrease
in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to cash received from our participation in the KDP secondary offering and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by the payment of interest rate swaps for which the planned tenor of the related forecasted debt was changed and lower cash receipts from the settlement and replacement of net investment hedge derivative contracts. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities and support new product and productivity initiatives. During the first quarter of 2020 and due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we reduced our expected 2020 capital expenditures from up to $0.9 billion to up to $0.8 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures with cash from operations.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$455 million
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
$201 million
in the first
three
months of
2019
. The
increase
in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to higher net debt issuances, partially offset by higher dividends paid and higher share repurchases.
Debt:
From time to time we refinance long-term and short-term debt. Refer to
Note 8,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
, for details of our debt activity during the first
three
months of
2020
. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of current and expected business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Due to seasonality, in the first and second quarters of the year, our working capital requirements grow, increasing the need for short-term financing. The second half of the year typically generates higher cash flows. As such, we may issue commercial paper or secure other forms of financing throughout the year to meet short-term working capital needs.
One of our subsidiaries, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“MIHN”), has outstanding debt. The operations held by MIHN generated approximately
71.6%
(or
$4.8 billion
) of the
$6.7 billion
of consolidated net revenue in the
three months ended
March 31, 2020
. The operations held by MIHN represented approximately
88.0%
(or
$22.7 billion
) of the
$25.8 billion
of net assets as of
March 31, 2020
and 87.2% (or $23.9 billion) of the
$27.4 billion
of net assets as of
December 31, 2019
.
During February 2020, our Board of Directors approved a new $8.0 billion long-term financing authority to replace the prior $5.0 billion authority. As of
March 31, 2020
, we had
$8.0 billion
of long-term financing authority remaining.
40
Table of Contents
In the 12 months subsequent to
March 31, 2020
, approximately
$1.6 billion
of long-term debt will mature as follows: $750 million in May 2020, $140 million in October 2020 and $749 million in January 2021. We expect to fund these repayments with a combination of cash from operations, short-term borrowings, including issuance of commercial paper, and long-term debt.
Our total debt was
$19.8 billion
at
March 31, 2020
and
$18.4 billion
at
December 31, 2019
. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was

at
March 31, 2020
and
0.40
at
December 31, 2019
. At
March 31, 2020
, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was
5.8
years. Our average daily commercial paper borrowings outstanding were
$3.7 billion
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
$4.1 billion
in the first
three
months of

. We had commercial paper outstanding totaling
$3.7 billion
as of
March 31, 2020
and
$2.6 billion
as of
December 31, 2019
. We expect to continue to use commercial paper to finance various short-term financing needs. We continue to comply with our debt covenants. Refer to
Note 8,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
.
Commodity Trends
We regularly monitor worldwide supply, commodity cost and currency trends so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. During the first
three
months of
2020
, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, as well as increased costs for dairy, energy, packaging, grains and other ingredients, partially offset by lower costs for sugar and cocoa.
A number of external factors such as the current COVID-19 global pandemic, weather conditions, commodity market conditions, currency fluctuations and the effects of governmental agricultural or other programs affect the cost and availability of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We address higher commodity costs and currency impacts primarily through hedging, higher pricing and manufacturing and overhead cost control. We use hedging techniques to limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials; however, we may not be able to fully hedge against commodity cost changes, such as dairy, where there is a limited ability to hedge, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. Due to competitive or market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors, our pricing actions may also lag commodity cost changes temporarily.
We expect price volatility and a higher aggregate cost environment to continue in the remainder of
2020
. While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available from numerous sources.

$6.0 billion
in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to
$19.7 billion
of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through
December 31, 2020
.
We repurchased shares at an aggregate cost of
$17.2 billion
, at a weighted-average cost of
$40.09
per share, through
March 31, 2020
(
$0.7 billion
in the first

The number of shares that we ultimately repurchase under our share repurchase program may vary depending on numerous factors, including share price and other market conditions, our ongoing capital allocation planning, levels of cash and debt balances, other demands for cash, such as acquisition activity, general economic or business conditions

and Board and management discretion. Additionally, our share repurchase activity during any particular period may fluctuate. We may accelerate, suspend, delay or discontinue our share repurchase program at any time, without notice.
Dividends:
We paid dividends of
$409 million
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
$380 million
in the first
three
months of
2019
. On July 30, 2019, the Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, increased the quarterly cash dividend to $0.285 per share of Class A Common Stock, an increase of 10 percent, which would be $1.14 per common share on an annualized basis. The first quarter 2020 dividend was payable on April 14, 2020, to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2020. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.
We anticipate that the 2020 distributions will be characterized as dividends under U.S. federal income tax rules. The final determination will be made on an IRS Form 1099–DIV issued in early 2021.
Significant Accounting Estimates

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed the non-GAAP adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP definitions below. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales and non-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major program financing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures below, and we also discuss our underlying GAAP results throughout our
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
in this Form 10-Q.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When our definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis

; gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans and U.S. and Swiss tax reform impacts

When items no longer impact our current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, we remove these items from our non-GAAP definitions.

Divestitures include completed sales of businesses and exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement. See
Note 2,
Acquisitions and Divestitures
, for information on acquisitions and divestitures impacting the comparability of our results.
(3)
Constant currency operating results are calculated by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.
(4)
Non-GAAP adjustments related to the Simplify to Grow Program reflect costs incurred that relate to the objectives of our program to transform our supply chain network and organizational structure. Costs that do not meet the program objectives are not reflected in the non-GAAP adjustments.

During the third quarter of 2018, as we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for Argentina (refer to
Note 1,
Basis of Presentation
), we excluded the remeasurement gains or losses related to remeasuring net monetary assets or liabilities in Argentina during the period to be consistent with our prior accounting for these remeasurement gains/losses for Venezuela when it was subject to highly inflationary accounting prior to 2016.
(6)
During the third quarter of 2016, we began to exclude unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives from our non-GAAP earnings measures until such time that the related exposures impact our operating results. Since we purchase commodity and forecasted currency transaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, we made this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. We also discontinued designating commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives for hedge accounting treatment. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, we have recast all historical non-GAAP earnings measures to exclude the mark-to-market impacts.

On November 20, 2017, Dirk Van de Put succeeded Irene Rosenfeld as CEO of Mondelēz International in advance of her retirement at the end of March 2018. In order to incent Mr. Van de Put to join us, we provided him compensation with a total combined target value of $42.5 million to make him whole for incentive awards he forfeited or grants that were not made to him when he left his former employer. The compensation we granted took the form of cash, deferred stock units, performance share units and stock options. In connection with Irene Rosenfeld’s retirement, we made her outstanding grants of performance share units for the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance cycles eligible for continued vesting and approved a $0.5 million salary for her service as Chairman from January through March 2018. We refer to these elements of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s compensation arrangements together as “CEO transition remuneration.” We are excluding amounts we expense as CEO transition remuneration from our non-GAAP results because those amounts are not part of our regular compensation program and are incremental to amounts we would have incurred as ongoing CEO compensation. As a result, in 2017, we excluded amounts expensed for the cash payment to Mr. Van de Put and partial vesting of his equity grants. In 2018, we excluded amounts paid for Ms. Rosenfeld’s service as Chairman and partial vesting of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s equity grants. In 2019 , we excluded amounts related to the partial vesting of Mr. Van de Put’s equity grants. During the first quarter of 2020, Mr. Van de Put's equity grants became fully vested.
(9)
The impact from pension participation changes represents the charges incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans and other changes in employee group pension plan participation. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect our ongoing pension obligations. See
Note 10,
Benefit Plans
, for more information on the multiemployer pension plan withdrawal.
(10)
We exclude the impact of the 2019 Swiss tax reform and 2017 U.S. tax reform. During the third quarter of 2019, Swiss Federal and Zurich Cantonal tax events drove our recognition of a Swiss tax reform net benefit to our results of operations. On
44
Table of Contents
December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions. We exclude these tax reform impacts from our Adjusted EPS as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under the new tax reforms. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information on the impact of Swiss and U.S. tax reform.
(11)
We have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ unusual or infrequent items such as acquisition and divestiture related costs, restructuring program costs and discrete U.S. tax reform impacts, in order to provide investors with a comparable view of our performance across periods. Although we have shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with our ownership interests in our equity method investees and review the underlying operating results and unusual or infrequent items with them each reporting period, we do not have direct control over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses. Our use of equity method investment net earnings on an adjusted basis is not intended to imply that we have any such control. Our GAAP “diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations” includes all of the investees’ unusual and infrequent items.
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Because non-GAAP financial measures vary among companies, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items detailed below that have an impact on our U.S. GAAP reported results. The best way this limitation can be addressed is by evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported results and carefully evaluating the following tables that reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q.
Organic Net Revenue:
Applying the definition of “Organic Net Revenue,” the adjustments made to “net revenues” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude the impact of currency, an acquisition and a divestiture. We believe that Organic Net Revenue reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provides improved comparability of results. We also evaluate our Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and developed markets, and these underlying measures are also reconciled to U.S. GAAP below.

Adjusted Operating Income:
Applying the definition of “Adjusted Operating Income,” the adjustments made to “operating income” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude Simplify to Grow Program; mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts; acquisition and divestiture-related costs; operating income from a divestiture; the remeasurement of net monetary position; and CEO transition remuneration. We also evaluate Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis. We believe these measures provide improved comparability of underlying operating results.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As we operate globally, we are primarily exposed to currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results.
During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and related global response significantly impacted economic activity and markets around the world. National and local governments imposed preventative or protective restrictions on travel and business operations and advised or required citizens to remain at home. Temporary closures of businesses were ordered and numerous other businesses temporarily closed voluntarily. The impact of the global pandemic and response has had a material unfavorable impact on global markets, including commodity, currency and capital markets, and these markets are likely to continue to remain volatile while the situation continues. An economic or credit crisis could occur and impair credit availability and our ability to raise capital when needed. A disruption in the financial markets may have a negative effect on our derivative counterparties and could impair our banking or other business partners, on whom we rely for access to capital and as counterparties for a number of our derivative contracts. We are actively working to mitigate these risks and we largely employed existing strategies that are described below to mitigate these market risks related to currency, commodity and interest rate risks.
We principally utilize derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. For additional information on our derivative activity and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our currency exchange, commodity price and interest rate exposures, see
Note 9,
Financial Instruments
.
Many of our non-U.S. subsidiaries operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates create volatility in our reported results as we translate the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of these subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting purposes. The translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated balance sheets and statements of earnings of our subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting generally results in a cumulative translation adjustment to other comprehensive income within equity. A stronger U.S. dollar relative to other functional currencies adversely affects our consolidated earnings and net assets while a weaker U.S. dollar benefits our consolidated earnings and net assets. While we hedge significant forecasted currency exchange transactions as well as certain net assets of non-U.S. operations and other currency impacts, we cannot fully predict or eliminate volatility arising from changes in currency exchange rates on our consolidated financial results. See
Consolidated Results of Operations
and
Results of Operations by Reportable Segment
under
Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results
for currency exchange effects on our financial results during the
three months ended March 31, 2020
. Throughout our discussion and analysis of results, we isolate currency impacts and supplementally provide net revenues, operating income and diluted earnings per share on a constant currency basis. For additional information on the impact of currency policies, recent currency devaluations and highly inflationary accounting on our financial condition and results of operations, also see
Note 1,
Basis of Presentation
– Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting
.
We also continually monitor the market for commodities that we use in our products. Input costs may fluctuate widely due to international demand, weather conditions, government policy and regulation and unforeseen conditions such as the current COVID-19 global pandemic. To manage input cost volatility, we enter into forward purchase agreements and other derivative financial instruments. We also pursue productivity and cost saving measures and take pricing actions when necessary to mitigate the impact of higher input costs on earnings.
We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt as well as current and expected interest rates in the markets in which we raise capital. Our primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates, corporate credit spreads, commercial paper rates as well as limited debt tied to London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”). The Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom plans to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. We do not anticipate a significant impact to our financial position from the planned phase out of LIBOR given our current mix of variable and fixed-rate debt. We periodically use interest rate swaps and forward interest rate contracts to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt based on current and projected market conditions. For more information on our
2020
debt activity, see
Note 8,
Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
.
Due to the current uncertainty in the global markets related to the COVID-19 outbreak, as a precautionary measure and to preserve financial flexibility, we increased our credit facility borrowing capacity and cash position by borrowing under some of our credit facilities. Refer to
Note 8,

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of
March 31, 2020
. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
March 31, 2020
.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
March 31, 2020
. A significant number of our employees and those of our outsourcing partners and other accounting service providers worked remotely beginning in March 2020 as a significant number of our and their offices were closed in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. There were no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting as we were able to continue to maintain our existing controls and procedures over our financial reporting during the quarter ended

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following represents a material change in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
Global or regional health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19, could negatively impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.
Our business and financial results could be negatively impacted by the recent outbreak of COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics. The severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain, rapidly changing and hard to predict. In 2020, COVID-19 has significantly impacted economic activity and markets around the world, and it could negatively impact our business in numerous ways, including but not limited to those outlined below:
•
We expect the COVID-19 outbreak to result in lower revenues in some of our emerging market countries that have a higher concentration of traditional trade outlets (such as small family-run stores), as well as in our travel retail (such as international duty-free stores) and foodservice businesses.
•
In addition, we expect increased sales of some of our products for in-home consumption that are currently in demand in some markets and channels, such as the United States and some European markets and modern trade. We are unable to predict how long this sustained demand will last or how significant it will be.
•
Commodity costs have become more volatile due to the COVID-19 outbreak. We expect continued commodity cost volatility, and our commodity hedging activities might not sufficiently offset this volatility.
•
The COVID-19 outbreak could disrupt our global supply chain, operations and routes to market or those of our suppliers, their suppliers, or our co-manufacturers or distributors. These disruptions or our failure to effectively respond to them could increase product or distribution costs or cause delays in delivering or an inability to deliver products to our customers. For example, we have experienced temporary disruptions in operations in some of our emerging markets such as India and Nigeria.
•
Disruptions or uncertainties related to the COVID-19 outbreak for a sustained period of time could result in delays or modifications to our strategic plans and initiatives and hinder our ability to achieve our objective to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs through our Simplify to Grow Program.
•
Illness, travel restrictions, absenteeism or other workforce disruptions could negatively affect our supply chain, manufacturing, distribution or other business processes.
•
Government or regulatory responses to pandemics could negatively impact our business. Mandatory lockdowns or other restrictions on operations in some countries have temporarily disrupted our ability to distribute our products in some of these markets. Continuation or expansion of these disruptions could materially adversely impact our operations and results.
•
We expect to be negatively impacted by currency translation losses from a generally stronger U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in the countries in which we operate. These along with currency transaction losses could adversely affect our reported results of operations and financial condition.
•
The COVID-19 outbreak has increased volatility and pricing in the capital markets and commercial paper markets, and volatility is likely to continue. We might not be able to continue to access preferred sources of liquidity when we would like or on terms we find acceptable, and our borrowing costs could increase. An economic or credit crisis could occur and impair credit availability and our ability to raise capital when needed. A disruption in the financial markets may have a negative effect on our derivative counterparties and could impair our banking or other business partners, on whom we rely for access to capital and as counterparties for a number of our derivative contracts.
These and other impacts of the COVID-19 or other global or regional health pandemics or epidemics could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, such as those relating to our reputation, brands, product sales, results of operations or financial condition. We might not be able to predict or respond to all impacts on a timely basis to prevent near- or long-term adverse impacts to our results. The ultimate impact of these disruptions also depends on events beyond our knowledge or
50
Table of Contents
control, including the duration and severity of any outbreak and actions taken by parties other than us to respond to them. Any of these disruptions could have a negative impact on our business operations, financial performance and results of operations, which impact could be material. Additionally, COVID–19 may also materially adversely affect our operating results and financial position in a manner that is not currently known to us or that we do not currently consider to present significant risks to our operations.
