Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Mondelēz International, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our” or “Mondelēz International”) are furnishing this current report to provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information related to the retrospective impact of (1) our sales of JDE Peet’s (“JDEP”) shares during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and (2) the sale of our developed market gum business on October 1, 2023.

Due to our reporting of JDEP’s results on a one-quarter lag basis, the impact of the sale of JDEP shares will affect our non-GAAP financial results beginning with the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023. Consistent with our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures, we will reflect this partial sale of our equity method investment in JDEP and the sale of our developed market gum business as divestitures. These changes will result in the recasting of our historical non-GAAP financial results and 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.

Change to our Historical Non-GAAP Financial Results in Connection with our Sales of JDEP Shares

As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, on March 30, 2023, we issued options to sell shares of JDEP in tranches equivalent to approximately 7.7 million shares. These options were exercisable at their maturities which were between July 3, 2023 and September 29, 2023, with strike prices ranging from €26.10 to €28.71 per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, options were exercised on 2.2 million shares, which reduced our ownership by 0.4 percentage point, from 18.1% to 17.7% of the total outstanding shares. We received cash proceeds of €57 million ($62 million) and recorded a loss of €3 million ($4 million) for these sales during the three months ended September 30, 2023. We continue to have board representation with two directors on JDEP's Board of Directors and have retained certain additional governance rights. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in JDEP under the equity method.

We consider the 0.4 percentage point ownership reduction resulting from this sale of shares a partial sale of our equity method investment in JDEP. Consistent with our non-GAAP financial measures definitions, we consider this sale to be a divestiture. Due to our reporting of JDEP’s results on a one-quarter lag basis, the impact of the sale of these shares will affect our non-GAAP financial results beginning with the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023. As such, we have removed the equity method investment net earnings results related to this partial sale of our equity method investment in JDEP from our non-GAAP financial results for Adjusted EPS for all historical periods presented. Our U.S. GAAP results, which include our historical equity method investment net earnings from JDEP, will not change from the prior presentation.

Change to our Historical Non-GAAP Financial Results in Connection with our Sale of our developed market gum business

As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, on October 1, 2023 we completed the sale of our developed market gum business in the United States, Canada, and Europe to Perfetti Van Melle Group, excluding the Portugal business which we retained pending regulatory approval. After obtaining regulatory approval, we completed the sale of the Portugal business to Perfetti Van Melle Group on October 23, 2023. We received net cash proceeds of $1.4 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments, that can be utilized for general corporate purposes, including the support of our commercial paper program. Consistent with the definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures, we consider this transaction to be a divestiture and we removed the results of this operation from our non-GAAP financial results for Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS for all historical periods presented. Our U.S. GAAP results, which include the results of this divested operation through the sale closing dates noted above, did not change from what was previously reported.

Recast Amounts Reflecting Changes in Historical Non-GAAP Results

See the summary chart below and Exhibit 99.1 for the unaudited GAAP and recast non-GAAP financial information for the first three quarters and nine months of 2023, all quarters of 2022 and 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021. This supplemental disclosure does not amend any disclosure contained in any of our prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
