Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 (unaudited)

Note 1 Accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed balance sheet information at December 29, 2018 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 29, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

Accounts payable

The Company has agreements with certain third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal in entering into these agreements is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. As of June 29, 2019, $823 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $595 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. As of December 29, 2018, $893 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $701 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions.

New accounting standards adopted in the period

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) permitting a company to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. We elected to adopt the ASU effective in the first quarter of 2019 and reclassified the disproportionate income tax effect recorded within AOCI to retained earnings. This resulted in a decrease to AOCI and an increase to retained earnings of $22 million. The adjustment primarily related to deferred taxes previously recorded for pension and other postretirement benefits, as well as hedging positions for debt and net investment hedges.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The distinction between finance leases and operating leases remains, with similar classification criteria as current GAAP to distinguish between capital and operating leases. The principal difference from prior guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

The Company adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2019, using the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that allows for the carry forward of historical lease classifications and consistent treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company also

9

elected to apply the practical expedient that allows the continued historical treatment of land easements. The Company did not elect the practical expedient for the use of hindsight in evaluating the expected lease term of existing leases.

The adoption of the ASU resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $453 million and $461 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2018. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities, represents existing deferred rent and prepaid lease balances that were reclassified on the balance sheet. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The ASU allows companies to capitalize implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, including periods covered by renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption.

Note 2 Sale of accounts receivable

The Company has a program in which a discrete group of customers are allowed to extend their payment terms in exchange for the elimination of early payment discounts (Extended Terms Program).

The Company has two Receivable Sales Agreements (Monetization Programs) described below, which are intended to directly offset the impact the Extended Terms Program would have on the days-sales-outstanding (DSO) metric that is critical to the effective management of the Company's accounts receivable balance and overall working capital. The Monetization Programs are designed to effectively offset the impact on working capital of the Extended Terms Program. The Monetization Programs sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable invoices to third party financial institutions. Transfers under these agreements are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Monetization Programs provide for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum receivables that may be sold at any time is $1,033 million. 

The Company has no retained interest in the receivables sold, however the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold receivables. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 for these agreements as the fair value of these servicing arrangements as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.

Accounts receivable sold of $947 million and $900 million remained outstanding under these arrangements as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The recorded net loss on sale of receivables was $7 million and $15 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively and was $6 million and $12 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The recorded loss is included in Other income and expense.

Other programs

Additionally, from time to time certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries will transfer, without recourse, accounts receivable invoices of certain customers to financial institutions. These transactions are accounted for as sales of the receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accounts receivable sold of $21 million and $93 million remained outstanding under these programs as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The recorded net loss on the sale of these receivables is included in Other income and expense (OIE) and is not material.

Note 3 Divestitures and held for sale

On March 31, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses to Ferrero International S.A. (Ferrero) for approximately $1.3 billion in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment mechanism.  Both the total assets and net assets of the businesses, including a targeted working capital amount is estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion, and is expected to result in an immaterial pre-tax gain when recognized upon closing.

The net assets and liabilities of these businesses were classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2019. The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 29, 2019:

(millions)	June 29, 2019
Inventory and other assets	$	112
Total current assets	112
Property and equipment	227

Multipro acquisition

On May 2, 2018, the Company (i) acquired an incremental 1% ownership interest in Multipro, a leading distributor of a variety of food products in Nigeria and Ghana, and (ii) exercised its call option (Purchase Option) to acquire a 50% interest in Tolaram Africa Foods, PTE LTD (TAF), a holding company with a 49% equity interest in an affiliated food manufacturer, resulting in the Company having a 24.5% interest in the affiliated food manufacturer. The aggregate cash consideration paid was approximately $419 million and was funded through cash on hand and short-term borrowings, which was refinanced with long-term borrowings in May 2018. As part of the consideration for the acquisition, an escrow established in connection with the original Multipro investment in 2015, which represented a significant portion of the amount paid for the Company’s initial investment, was released by the Company. 

As a result of the Company’s incremental ownership interest in Multipro and concurrent changes to the shareholders' agreement, the Company has a 51% controlling interest in and is consolidating Multipro. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the assets and liabilities of Multipro were included in the June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 Consolidated Balance Sheet and the results of its operations have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income subsequent to the acquisition date within the AMEA reporting segment. The Multipro investment was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the Company recorded our share of equity income or loss from Multipro within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities. In connection with the business combination, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash gain in the second quarter of 2018 on the disposition of our previously held equity interest in Multipro of $245 million, which is included within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities.

The Company's June 30, 2018 quarter-to-date and year-to-date consolidated unaudited pro forma historical net sales and net income, as if Multipro had been acquired at the beginning of 2018, exclusive of the non-cash $245 million gain on the disposition of the equity interest recognized in the second quarter of 2018, are estimated as follows:

	Quarter ended		Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 30, 2018		June 30, 2018
Net sales	$	3,433	$	7,043
Net Income attributable to Kellogg Company	$	596	$	1,040

Investment in TAF

The investment in TAF, our interest in an affiliated food manufacturer, is accounted for under the equity method of accounting with the Company’s share of equity income or loss being recognized within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities. The $458 million aggregate of the consideration paid upon exercise and the historical cost value of the Put Option was compared to the estimated fair value of the Company’s ownership percentage of TAF and the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash loss in the second quarter of 2018 of $45 million within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, which represents an other than temporary excess of cost over fair value of the investment. The difference between the carrying amount of TAF and the underlying equity in net assets is primarily attributable to brand and customer list intangible assets, a portion of which is being amortized over future periods, and goodwill.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, intangible assets subject to amortization, consisting primarily of customer relationships, distribution agreements, and indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of brands, are presented in the following tables:

Impairment Testing

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may be impaired, including a change in reporting units or composition of reporting units as a result of a re-organization in internal reporting structures.

For the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of the reporting units are estimated based on market multiples. This approach employs market multiples based on either sales or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for companies that are comparable to the Company’s reporting units. In the event the fair value determined using the market multiple approach is close to carrying value, the Company may supplement the fair value determination using discounted cash flows. The assumptions used for the impairment test are consistent with those utilized by a market participant performing similar valuations for the Company’s reporting units.

These estimates are made using various inputs including historical data, current and anticipated market conditions, management plans, and market comparables.

On December 30, 2018 the Company reorganized our North American business. The reorganization eliminated the legacy business unit structure and internal reporting. In addition, the Company changed the internal reporting

13

provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and segment manager. As a result, the Company reevaluated its operating segments and reporting units.

In addition, we transferred the management of our Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey businesses from Kellogg Europe to Kellogg AMEA, effective December 30, 2018.

Refer to Note 12, Reportable Segments for further details on these changes. As a result of these changes in operating segments and related reporting units, the Company re-allocated goodwill between reporting units where necessary and compared the carrying value to the fair value of each impacted reporting unit on a before and after basis. This evaluation was only required to be performed on reporting units impacted by the changes noted above.

Effective December 30, 2018 in North America, the previous U.S. Snacks, U.S. Morning Foods, U.S. Specialty Channels, U.S. Frozen Foods, Kashi, Canada and RX operating segments are now a single operating segment (Kellogg North America). At the beginning of 2019, the Company evaluated the related impacted reporting units for impairment on a before and after basis and concluded that the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded their carrying values. On a before basis, the previous Kashi reporting unit's percentage of excess of fair value over carrying value was approximately 18% using the same methodology as the 2018 annual impairment analysis, which was performed as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2018. The fair value of the previous Kashi reporting unit was estimated primarily based on a multiple of net sales and discounted cash flows.

Approximately $46 million of goodwill was re-allocated between the impacted reporting units within Kellogg Europe and Kellogg AMEA related to the transfer of businesses between these operating segments. The Company performed a goodwill evaluation of the impacted reporting units on a before and after basis and concluded that the fair value of the impacted reporting units exceeded their carrying values.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would be selling its selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses within the North America reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed a goodwill impairment evaluation on the North America reporting unit in the first quarter of 2019 and concluded that the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the businesses to Ferrero. In connection with the execution of the definitive agreement, the net assets and liabilities of these businesses, included in the North America reporting unit, were classified as held for sale including $191 million of Goodwill and $765 million of Net Intangibles.

Note 5 Restructuring Programs

The Company views its restructuring programs as part of its operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a 3 to 5-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.

Project K

Since inception, Project K has reduced the Company’s cost structure, and is expected to provide enduring benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, an efficient global business services model, a global focus on categories, increased agility from a more efficient organization design, and improved effectiveness in go-to-market models.  These benefits are intended to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation.

The Company approved all remaining Project K initiatives as of the end of 2018 and implementation of these remaining initiatives will be completed in 2019. Project charges, after-tax costs and annual savings remain in line with expectations.

The Company currently anticipates that the program will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are implemented, of $1.6 billion, with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital investments, estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion. Based on current estimates and actual charges to date, the Company expects the total project charges will consist of asset-related costs of approximately $500 million which will consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other exit-related costs; employee-related costs of approximately $400 million which includes severance, pension and other termination benefits; and other costs of approximately

14

$700 million which consists primarily of charges related to the design and implementation of global business capabilities and a more efficient go-to-market model.

The Company currently expects that total pre-tax charges related to Project K will impact reportable segments as follows: North America (approximately 65%), Europe (approximately 22%), Latin America (approximately 3%), AMEA (approximately 6%), and Corporate (approximately 4%).

During the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total net charges of $15 million and $23 million, respectively related to Project K. During the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded total net charges of $5 million and $25 million, respectively related to Project K.

Since the inception of Project K, the Company has recognized charges of $1,543 million that have been attributed to the program. The charges consist of $6 million recorded as a reduction of revenue, $910 million recorded in cost of goods sold (COGS), $794 million recorded in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, and $(167) million recorded in OIE.

Other Programs

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan for the European reportable segment designed to simplify the organization, increase organizational efficiency, and enhance key processes. The overall project is expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2020.

The project is expected to result in cumulative pretax net charges of approximately $50 million, including certain non-cash credits. Cash costs are expected to be approximately $57 million. The total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits and charges related to relocation, third party legal and consulting fees, and contract termination costs.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total charges of $32 million related to this initiative. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense.

Additionally during the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan which primarily impacts the North America reportable segment. The reorganization plan is designed to simplify the organization that supports the remaining North America reportable segment after the divestiture and related transition. The overall project is expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2020.

The overall project is expected to result in cumulative pretax charges of approximately $35 million. Cash costs are expected to approximate the pretax charges. Total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits and charges related to third party consulting fees.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total charges of $18 million related to this initiative. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense.

All Programs

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total net charges of $65 million across all restructuring programs. The charges were comprised of $11 million of expense recorded in COGS, $54 million of expense recorded in SG&A expense. During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total charges of $73 million across all restructuring programs. The charges were comprised of $17 million recorded in COGS and $56 million recorded in SG&A expense.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded total net charges of $5 million across all restructuring programs. The charges were comprised of $(4) million net gain recorded in COGS, $9 million recorded in SG&A expense. During the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded total charges of $25 million across all restructuring programs. The charges were comprised of $9 million recorded in COGS and $16 million recorded in SG&A expense.

Note 6 Equity

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, restricted stock units, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. There were 15 million and 14 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019. There were 9 million and 6 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018. Please refer to the Consolidated Statement of Income for basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Share repurchases

In December 2017, the board of directors approved a new authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of our common stock beginning in January 2018 through December 2019. As of June 29, 2019, $960 million remains available under the authorization.

During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 4 million shares of common stock for a total of $220 million. During the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased less than 1 million shares of common stock for a total of $50 million.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, fair value adjustments associated with cash flow hedges and adjustments for net experience losses and prior service cost related to employee benefit plans, net of related tax effects.

Reclassifications out of AOCI for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, consisted of the following:

Note 7 Leases

The Company leases certain warehouses, equipment, vehicles, and office space primarily through operating lease agreements. Finance lease obligations and activity are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Lease obligations are primarily for real estate assets, with the remainder related to manufacturing and distribution related equipment, vehicles, information technology equipment, and rail cars. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

A portion of the Company's real estate leases include future variable rental payments that include inflationary adjustment factors. The future variability of these adjustments is unknown and therefore not included in the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The leases have remaining terms which range from less than 1 year to 10 years and the majority of leases provide the Company with the option to exercise one or more renewal terms. The length of the lease term used in recording lease assets and lease liabilities is based on the contractually required lease term adjusted for any options to renew or early terminate the lease that are reasonably certain of being executed.

The Company combines lease and non-lease components together in determining the minimum lease payments for the majority of leases. The Company has elected to not combine lease and non-lease components for certain asset types in service-related agreements that include significant production related costs. The Company has closely

18

analyzed these agreements to ensure any embedded costs related to the securing of the leased asset is properly segregated and accounted for in measuring the lease assets and liabilities.

The majority of the leases do not include a stated interest rate, and therefore the Company's periodic incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. This rate is calculated based on a collateralized rate for the specific currencies used in leasing activities and the borrowing ability of the applicable Company legal entity. For the initial implementation of the lease standard, the incremental borrowing rate at December 29, 2018 was used to present value operating lease assets and liabilities.

The Company recorded operating lease costs of $32 million and $64 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019. Lease related costs associated with variable rent, short-term leases, and sale-leaseback arrangements, as well as sublease income, are each immaterial.

Note 9 Stock compensation

The Company uses various equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for its global workforce. Currently, these incentives consist principally of stock options, restricted stock units, and to a lesser extent, executive performance shares and restricted stock grants. The Company also sponsors a discounted stock purchase plan in the United States and matching-grant programs in several international locations. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock to its outside directors. The interim information below should be read in conjunction with the disclosures included within the stock compensation footnote of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in COGS and SG&A expense principally within its Corporate segment. For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of equity-based programs and the related income tax benefit recognized was as follows:

	Quarter ended				Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 29, 2019		June 30, 2018		June 29, 2019		June 30, 2018
Pre-tax compensation expense	$	18	$	16	$	32	$	33
Related income tax benefit	$	5	$	4	$	8	$	8

During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company granted approximately 0.9 million restricted stock units at a weighted average cost of $56 per share and 2.8 million non-qualified stock options at a weighted average cost of $7 per share. Terms of these grants and the Company’s methods for determining grant-date fair value of the awards were consistent with that described within the stock compensation footnote in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Performance shares

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The number of shares earned could range between 0% and 200% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the three year vesting period. The performance conditions of the award include organic net sales growth and total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company’s common stock relative to a select group of peer companies.

A Monte Carlo valuation model was used to determine the fair value of the awards. The TSR performance metric is a market condition. Therefore, compensation cost of the TSR condition is fixed at the measurement date and is not revised based on actual performance. The TSR metric was valued as a multiplier of possible levels of organic net sales growth achievement. Compensation cost related to organic net sales growth performance is revised for changes in the expected outcome. The 2019 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 239,000 shares, with a grant-date fair value of $59 per share.

The 2016 performance share award, payable in stock, was settled at 85% of target in February 2019 for a total dollar equivalent of $6 million.

Note 10 Employee benefits

The Company sponsors a number of U.S. and foreign pension plans as well as other nonpension postretirement and postemployment plans to provide various benefits for its employees. These plans are described within the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Components of Company plan benefit expense for the periods presented are included in the tables below.

For the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company recognized a loss of $11 million related to the remeasurement of a U.S. pension plan as current year distributions are expected to exceed service and interest costs resulting in settlement accounting for that particular plan. The amount of the remeasurement loss recognized was due primarily to an unfavorable change in the discount rate.

Company contributions to employee benefit plans are summarized as follows:

(millions)	Pension		Nonpension postretirement		Total
Quarter ended:
June 29, 2019	$	3	$	4	$	7
June 30, 2018	$	251	$	4	$	255
Year-to-date period ended:
June 29, 2019	$	4	$	8	$	12
June 30, 2018	$	266	$	8	$	274
Full year:
Fiscal year 2019 (projected)	$	7	$	18	$	25
Fiscal year 2018 (actual)	$	270	$	17	$	287

Prior year contributions included $250 million of pre-tax discretionary contributions to U.S. plans in the second quarter of 2018 designated for the 2017 tax year. Plan funding strategies may be modified in response to management's evaluation of tax deductibility, market conditions, and competing investment alternatives.

Note 11 Income taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 was 20% as compared to 15% in the same quarter of the prior year. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 benefited $31 million due to discretionary pension contributions made in the second quarter of 2018 totaling $250 million, which were designated as 2017 tax year contributions.

The consolidated effective tax rate for the year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was 20% and 14%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018 benefited from a discretionary pension contribution and a $44 million discrete tax benefit as a result of the remeasurement of deferred taxes following a legal entity restructuring.

As of June 29, 2019, the Company classified $10 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current liability. Management’s estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months consists of the current liability balance expected to be settled within one year, offset by approximately $2 million of projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate.

The Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 29, 2019 was $97 million, unchanged from year-end. Of this balance, $87 million represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods.

The accrual balance for tax-related interest was approximately $22 million at June 29, 2019.

Note 12 Derivative instruments and fair value measurements

The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative and nonderivative financial instruments and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged.

The Company designates derivatives and nonderivative hedging instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.

22

Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 were as follows:

(millions)	June 29, 2019		December 29, 2018
Foreign currency exchange contracts	$	1,623	$	1,863
Cross-currency contracts	1,363		1,197
Interest rate contracts	1,507		1,608
Commodity contracts	322		417
Total	$	4,815	$	5,085

Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, measured on a recurring basis.

Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.

Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.

The Company’s 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 interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Cross-currency contracts are valued based on changes in the spot rate at the time of valuation compared to the spot rate at the time of execution, as well as the change in the interest differential between the two currencies. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of June 29, 2019 or December 29, 2018.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018:

The Company has designated its outstanding foreign currency denominated long-term debt as a net investment hedge of a portion of the Company’s investment in its subsidiaries’ foreign currency denominated net assets. The carrying value of this debt was approximately $2.6 billion as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018.

The following amounts were recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for existing fair value hedges as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018.

Interest rate contracts	Long-term debt	$	3,388	$	3,354	$	22	$	(18	)

(a) The current maturities of hedged long-term debt includes $1 million and $3 million of hedging adjustment on discontinued hedging relationships as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The hedged long-term debt includes $16 million and $(12) million of hedging adjustment on discontinued hedging relationships as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively.

The Company has elected to not offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:

As of June 29, 2019:				Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet
	Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet			Financial Instruments			Cash Collateral Received/ Posted			Net Amount
Total asset derivatives	$	114		$	(25	)	$	(7	)	$	82

During the next 12 months, the Company expects $5 million of net deferred losses reported in AOCI at June 29, 2019 to be reclassified to income, assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions requiring the Company to post collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a liability position if the Company’s credit rating is at or below BB+ (S&P), or Baa1 (Moody’s). The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position on June 29, 2019 was not material. In addition, certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would be triggered in the event the Company defaults on its debt agreements. There were no collateral posting as of June 29, 2019 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features.

Other fair value measurements

The following is a summary of the carrying and market values of the Company's available for sale securities:

	June 29, 2019						December 29, 2018
			Unrealized						Unrealized
(millions)	Cost		Gain (Loss)		Market Value		Cost		Gain (Loss)		Market Value
Corporate bonds	$	60	$	3	$	63	$	59	$	—	$	59

The market values of the Company's investments in level 2 corporate bonds are based on matrices or models from pricing vendors. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and requires the recognition of an impairment loss in earnings. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than its cost, the Company's intent to hold the investment, and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the cost basis. The Company also considers the type of security, related industry and sector performance, and published investment ratings. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If conditions within individual markets, industry segments, or macro-economic environments deteriorate, the Company could incur future impairments.

The investments are recorded within Other current assets and Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on the maturity of the individual security. The maturity dates of the securities range from 2020 to 2028.

27

Financial instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s short-term items, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which are level 2 liabilities, is calculated based on broker quotes. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $8.7 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively, as of June 29, 2019. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt were both $8.2 billion as of December 29, 2018.

Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. Management believes a concentration of credit risk with respect to derivative counterparties is limited due to the credit ratings and use of master netting and reciprocal collateralization agreements with the counterparties and the use of exchange-traded commodity contracts.

Master netting agreements apply in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. Certain counterparties represent a concentration of credit risk to the Company. If those counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of derivative contracts, this would result in a loss to the Company. As of June 29, 2019, the Company was not in a material net asset position with any counterparties with which a master netting agreement would apply.

For certain derivative contracts, reciprocal collateralization agreements with counterparties call for the posting of collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss position to the Company or its counterparties exceeds a certain amount. In addition, the Company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with its open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments executed with the counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. As of June 29, 2019, the Company had no collateral posting requirements related to reciprocal collateralization agreements and collected approximately $19 million of collateral related to reciprocal collaterization agreements which is reflected as an increase in other liabilities. As of June 29, 2019 the Company posted $12 million in margin deposits for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Management believes concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the generally high credit quality of the Company’s major customers, as well as the large number and geographic dispersion of smaller customers. However, the Company conducts a disproportionate amount of business with a small number of large multinational grocery retailers, with the five largest accounts encompassing approximately 20% of consolidated trade receivables at June 29, 2019.

Note 13 Reportable segments

Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, cookies, veggie foods and noodles. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. Principal markets for these products include the United States, United Kingdom, and Nigeria.

On December 30, 2018 the Company reorganized its North American business. The reorganization eliminated the legacy business unit structure and internal reporting. In addition, the Company changed the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and segment manager. As a result, the Company reevaluated its operating segments. In conjunction with the reorganization, certain global research and development resources and related activities were transferred from the North America business to Corporate. Prior period segment results were not restated for the transfer as the impacts were not considered material.

In addition, the Company transferred its Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey businesses from Kellogg Europe to Kellogg AMEA, effective December 30, 2018. This consolidated the Company's Africa business under a single regional management team. All comparable prior periods have been restated to reflect the change. For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, the change resulted in $62 million and $129 million, respectively, of reported net sales and $10 million and $24 million, respectively, of reported operating profit transferring from Kellogg Europe to Kellogg AMEA.

The Company manages its operations through four operating segments that are based on geographic location – North America which includes U.S. businesses and Canada; Europe which consists principally of European

28

countries; Latin America which consists of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and AMEA (Asia Middle East Africa) which consists of Africa, Middle East, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets. These operating segments also represent our reportable segments.

The measurement of reportable segment results is based on segment operating profit which is generally consistent with the presentation of operating profit in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Reportable segment results were as follows:

Note 15 Subsequent events

On July 24, 2019, the Company announced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of the $$500 million 4.15% Senior Notes due November 2019, plus up to $500 million of aggregate principal of its 4.0% Senior Notes due December 2020, 3.25% Senior Notes due May 2021, 2.65% Senior Notes due May 2023, and 3.4% Senior Notes due November 2027.

On July 28, 2019, the Company completed its sale of selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses to Ferrero for approximately $1.3 billion in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment mechanism.  Both the total assets and net assets of the businesses, including a targeted working capital amount is estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion, and resulted in an immaterial pre-tax gain upon closing. After-tax proceeds from the divestiture are expected to be utilized to repay debt.

In conjunction with the completion of the sale, the Company incurred closing costs of approximately $15 million in the third quarter and expects to incur a cash tax liability of approximately $260 million to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company is no longer obligated to contribute to certain multi-employer pension plans and it is probable it will incur a withdrawal liability estimated at $110 million related to its exit from these plans. This amount represents management's best estimate. Actual results could differ. The cash obligation is payable over a maximum period of 20 years; management has not determined the actual period over which payments will be made.

Segments

On December 30, 2018 we reorganized our North American business. The reorganization eliminated the legacy business unit structure and internal reporting. In addition, we changed the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and segment manager. As a result, we reevaluated our operating segments. In conjunction with the reorganization, certain global research and development resources and related activities were transferred from the North America business to Corporate. Prior period segment results were not restated for the transfer as the impacts were not considered material.

In addition, we transferred our Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey businesses from Kellogg Europe to Kellogg AMEA, effective December 30, 2018. This consolidated all of the Company's Africa business under a single regional management team. All comparable prior periods have been restated to reflect the change. For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, the change resulted in $62 million and $129 million, respectively, of reported net sales and $10 million and $24 million, respectively, of reported operating profit transferring from Europe to AMEA.

On March 31, 2019, we entered into a stock and asset purchase agreement with Ferrero International S.A. (“Ferrero”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, we will divest to Ferrero selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses for $1.3 billion in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis and subject to a working capital adjustment mechanism. On July 28, 2019, we completed the sale of the businesses to Ferrero.

We manage our operations through four operating segments that are based primarily on geographic location – North America which includes the U.S. businesses and Canada; Europe which consists principally of European countries; Latin America which consists of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and AMEA (Asia Middle East Africa) which consists of Africa, Middle East, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets. These operating segments also represent our reportable segments.

Non-GAAP financial measures

This filing includes non-GAAP financial measures that we provide to management and investors that exclude certain items that we do not consider part of on-going operations. Items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are discussed in the "Significant items impacting comparability" section of this filing. Our management team consistently utilizes a combination of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business results, to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions, including incentive compensation. As a result, we believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team and improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and in their analysis of ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

31

Non-GAAP financial measures used include currency-neutral and organic net sales, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted operating profit, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted diluted EPS, currency-neutral gross profit, currency-neutral gross margin, and cash flow. We determine currency-neutral results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our 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. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

• Currency-neutral net sales and organic net sales: We adjust the GAAP financial measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency, resulting in currency-neutral sales. In addition, we exclude the impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency, resulting in organic net sales. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying net sales performance. By providing these non-GAAP net sales measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of net sales performance for the Company and each of our reportable segments for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives behind net sales growth, pricing realization, and the impact of mix on our business results. These non-GAAP measures are also used to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions.

• Adjusted: operating profit, net income, and diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, and other costs impacting comparability resulting in adjusted. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments.

• Currency-neutral adjusted: gross profit, gross margin, operating profit, net income, and diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, other costs impacting comparability, and foreign currency, resulting in currency-neutral adjusted. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments.

• Adjusted effective income tax rate: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, and other costs impacting comparability. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our pre-tax income and the related tax effect of those items on our adjusted effective income tax rate. By providing this non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of the items noted above, for the periods presented. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to monitor the effectiveness of initiatives in place to optimize our global tax rate.

• Cash flow: Defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. Cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases once all of the Company’s business needs and obligations are met. Additionally, certain performance-based compensation includes a component of this non-GAAP measure.

These measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP reporting measures.

Significant items impacting comparability

Mark-to-market accounting for pension plans, commodities and certain foreign currency contracts

We recognize mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodity contracts, and certain foreign currency contracts as incurred. Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur. Changes between contract and market prices for commodities contracts and certain foreign currency contracts result in gains/losses that are recognized in the quarter they occur. We recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit of $35 million and a pre-tax mark-to-market expense of $6 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively. Included within the aforementioned was a pre-tax mark-to-market expense for pension plans of $11 million and $10 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively. We also recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit of $5 million and $44 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Included within the aforementioned was a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit for pension plans of $2 million and $27 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Project K

Project K continued generating savings used to invest in key strategic areas of focus for the business. We recorded pre-tax charges related to this program of $15 million and $23 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 respectively. We also recorded pre-tax charges related to this program of $5 million and $25 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

See the Restructuring Programs section for more information.

Brexit impacts

With the uncertainty of the United Kingdom (U.K.) exiting the European Union (EU), commonly referred to as Brexit, we have begun preparations to proactively prepare for the potential adverse impacts of Brexit, such as delays at ports of entry and departure. As a result, we incurred pre-tax charges of $3 million and $6 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively.

Business and portfolio realignment

One-time costs related to: pending and prospective divestitures and acquisitions, including the divestiture of our cookies, fruit snacks, pie crusts, and ice-cream cone businesses; reorganizations in support of our Deploy for Growth priorities and a reshaped portfolio; and investments in enhancing capabilities prioritized by our Deploy for Growth strategy. We incurred pre-tax charges related, primarily to reorganizations, of $83 million and $114 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively.

Acquisitions

In May of 2018, the Company acquired an incremental 1% ownership interest in Multipro, which along with concurrent changes to the shareholders' agreement, resulted in the Company now having a 51% controlling interest in and began consolidating Multipro, a leading distributor of a variety of food products in Nigeria and Ghana. In our AMEA reportable segment, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, the acquisition added $73 million and $271 million, respectively, in net sales that impacted the comparability of our reported results.

Gain on unconsolidated entities, net

In connection with the Multipro business combination, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash gain on the disposition of our previously held equity interest in Multipro of $245 million. Additionally, the Company exercised its call option to acquire a 50% interest in Tolaram Africa Foods, PTE LTD, a holding company with a 49% equity interest in an affiliated food manufacturer, resulting in the Company having a 24.5% interest in the affiliated food manufacturer. In conjunction with the exercise, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash loss of $45 million, which represents an other than temporary excess of cost over fair value of the investment. These amounts were recorded within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities during the second quarter of 2018.

Foreign currency translation

We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis. We determine currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine

33

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.

Financial results

For the quarter ended June 29, 2019, our reported net sales improved by 3.0% due primarily to the consolidation of Multipro results (May 2018). These impacts were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency which reduced net sales 1.9 percentage points. Organic net sales increased 2.3% from the prior year after excluding the impact of Multipro and foreign currency, due to growth in our international businesses and favorable pricing/mix.

Second quarter reported operating profit decreased 16% versus the year-ago quarter, driven primarily by higher input costs and higher Project K and business and portfolio realignment costs in the current quarter, as well as unfavorable foreign currency, partially offset by favorable mark-to-market impacts. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit decreased 3.8% after excluding foreign currency, mark-to-market, Project K, business and portfolio realignment, and Brexit.

Reported diluted EPS of $0.84 for the quarter was down 51% compared to the prior year quarter of $1.71 due primarily to higher input costs, higher Project K and business and portfolio realignment costs in the current quarter, unfavorable foreign currency, and lower expected return on pension assets, partially offset by favorable mark-to-market. Currency-neutral adjusted diluted EPS of $1.00 decreased by 12% compared to prior year quarter of $1.14, after excluding the impact of foreign currency, mark-to-market, Project K, business and portfolio realignment, and Brexit.

For more information on the reconciling items in the table above, please refer to the Significant items impacting comparability section.

North America

Reported net sales increased 1.0% versus the comparable quarter of 2018 due primarily to favorable pricing/mix partially offset by lower volume. Currency-neutral net sales increased 1.1% after excluding the impact of foreign currency.

Net sales % change - second quarter 2019 vs. 2018:
North America	Reported net sales		Foreign currency		Currency-neutral net sales
Snacks	3.6	%	(0.1	)%	3.7	%
Cereal	(4.8	)%	(0.3	)%	(4.5	)%
Frozen	3.1	%	(0.1	)%	3.2	%

North America snacks currency-neutral net sales increased 3.7% in the quarter due to sustained momentum and innovations in key brands, including Pringles, Cheez-It, Rice Krispies Treats, Pop-Tarts, and RXBAR.

North America cereal currency-neutral net sales declined by 4.5% largely due to reduced promotional activity during our second and final wave of pack-size harmonization as well as category softness.

Frozen foods currency-neutral net sales increased 3.2%, led by innovation and effective commercial programs for Morningstar Farms veggie foods and Eggo waffles and french toast.

36

North America reported operating profit decreased 16.6% due to higher input costs, business and portfolio realignment charges during the quarter and lower net sales in cereal. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit declined 5.9% after excluding the impact of Project K, business and portfolio realignment, and foreign currency. Additionally, North America operating profit benefited from the transfer of certain global research and development activities from North America to Corporate at the beginning of 2019.

Europe

Reported net sales decreased 3.2% due primarily to unfavorable foreign currency. Currency-neutral net sales increased 1.8% after excluding the impact of foreign currency, driven by higher volume and favorable price/mix.

Growth was driven by snacks, led by Pringles, as well as higher net sales in Russia. Growth was partially offset by modest declines in certain developed markets' cereal and wholesome snacks businesses.

Reported operating profit decreased 58% due primarily to business and portfolio realignment costs as well as unfavorable foreign currency. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit increased 1.7% after excluding the impact of foreign currency, and costs related to Project K, business and portfolio realignment, and Brexit.

Latin America

Reported net sales increased 0.2% due to favorable pricing/mix partially offset by lower volume and unfavorable foreign currency. Currency-neutral net sales increased 2.3% after excluding the impact of foreign currency.

Cereal net sales growth was led by share growth in Mexico.

Pringles net sales grew in Mexico but were more than offset by lower sales in Argentina related to economic and currency weakness, and in Caribbean/Central America due to economic conditions and a distributor transition.

Reported operating profit decreased 12.8% due primarily to business and portfolio realignment charges during the quarter, higher input costs, and investments in capabilities. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit decreased 4.5% after excluding the impact of foreign currency, Project K, and business and portfolio realignment.

AMEA

Reported net sales improved 22.6% due to higher volume from the consolidation of Multipro results beginning in May 2018, improved price realization, and Pringles growth across the region, particularly in emerging markets, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency. Organic net sales increased 8.5% after excluding the impact of Multipro and foreign currency.

Multipro posted double-digit reported net sales growth during the quarter and contributed to organic growth beginning in May, lapping last year's consolidation of the business.

Snacks posted solid growth in the quarter, led by sustained momentum in Pringles, which gained share collectively across the region.

Cereal posted growth across the region, with the exception of Australia where shipment timing resulted in a modest decline, but consumption remained positive.

Reported operating profit increased 16% due to the consolidation of Multipro results and higher organic net sales. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit improved 27% after excluding the impact of Project K, business and portfolio realignment, and foreign currency.

Corporate

Reported operating profit increased $33 million versus the comparable prior year quarter due primarily to favorable mark-to-market impacts. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit decreased $6 million after excluding the impact of mark-to-market, Project K, and business and portfolio realignment, due primarily to the transfer of certain global research and development activities from North America to Corporate at the beginning of 2019.

For more information on the reconciling items in the table above, please refer to the Significant items impacting comparability section.

North America

Reported net sales decreased 0.5% versus the comparable year-to-date period of 2018 due primarily to lower volume partially offset by favorable pricing/mix. Organic net sales decreased 0.3% after excluding the impact of foreign currency.

Net sales % change - second quarter year-to-date 2019 vs. 2018:
North America	Reported net sales		Foreign currency		Currency-neutral net sales
Snacks	1.6	%	(0.2	)%	1.8	%
Cereal	(4.8	)%	(0.3	)%	(4.5	)%
Frozen	0.7	%	(0.1	)%	0.8	%

North America snacks currency-neutral net sales increased 1.8% in the year-to-date period due to sustained momentum and innovations in key brands, including Cheez-It, Rice Krispies Treats, Pringles and Pop-Tarts. These impacts were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the RXBAR recall during the first quarter.

North America cereal currency-neutral net sales declined by 4.5% largely due to reduced promotional activity during two waves of pack-size harmonization during the first half of the year as well as the loss of share of our Special K branded cereals.

North America frozen currency-neutral net sales increased by 0.8%, comparing against a notably strong, double-digit growth in the prior year-to-date period.

39

North America reported operating profit decreased 10.5% due to higher input costs, lower cereal volume, and business and portfolio realignment charges during the year-to-date period. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit declined 4.6% after excluding the impact of restructuring, business and portfolio realignment costs, and foreign currency. Additionally, North America operating profit benefited from the transfer of certain global research and development activities from North America to Corporate at the beginning of 2019.

Europe

Reported net sales decreased 3.8% due primarily to unfavorable foreign currency partially offset by higher volume and favorable pricing/mix. Organic net sales increased 3.0% after excluding the impact of foreign currency.

Growth was driven by snacks, led by Pringles, as well as higher net sales in Russia. Growth was partially offset by modest declines in certain developed markets' cereal and wholesome snacks.

Cereal sales declined during the year-to-date period but the decline moderated from the prior year. The declines were primarily due to performance in France and Benelux as cereal grew in most other markets in the region.

As reported operating profit decreased 35% due primarily to business and portfolio realignment costs and unfavorable foreign currency. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit increased 5.6% after excluding the impact of foreign currency and costs related to Project K, business and portfolio realignment, and Brexit.

Latin America

Reported net sales decreased 1.4% due to favorable pricing/mix partially offset by lower volume and unfavorable foreign currency. Organic net sales increased 3.3% after excluding the impact of foreign currency.

Growth was driven by Mexico cereal and Parati in Brazil. Mexico's cereal net sales growth continues to accelerate behind strong commercial programs, effective in-store execution, and continued expansion in high-frequency stores. Parati posted growth in net sales and share during the quarter in key categories.

Reported operating profit decreased 10.3% due primarily to higher input costs and investments. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit decreased 3.5% after excluding the impact of foreign currency, Project K, and business and portfolio realignment.

AMEA

Reported net sales improved 39% due to higher volume from the consolidation of Multipro results beginning in May 2018, and Pringles growth across the region, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency. Organic net sales increased 6.6% due primarily to favorable pricing/mix after excluding the impact of Multipro and foreign currency.

Multipro posted double-digit reported net sales growth during the year-to-date period and contributed to organic growth beginning in May, lapping last year's consolidation of the business.

Snacks posted solid growth in the first half, led by sustained momentum in Pringles, which gained share collectively across the region.

Reported operating profit increased 16% due to the consolidation of Multipro results and higher organic net sales partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit improved 27% after excluding the impact of foreign currency, Project K, and business and portfolio realignment.

Corporate

Reported operating profit decreased $82 million versus the comparable prior year quarter due primarily to favorable mark-to-market impacts. Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit decreased $33 million after excluding the impact of mark-to-market, Project K, and business and portfolio realignment, due primarily to the transfer of certain global research and development activities from North America to Corporate at the beginning of 2019.

(a) Gross profit is equal to net sales less cost of goods sold.

(b) Gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Reported gross margin for the quarter was unfavorable 170 basis points due primarily to the consolidation of Multipro results, higher input costs, mix shifts and costs related to growth in new pack formats, as well as unfavorable mark-to-market. Currency-neutral adjusted gross margin was unfavorable 240 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2018 after eliminating the impact of mark-to-market, Project K, Brexit, business and portfolio realignment, and foreign currency.

Reported gross margin for the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, was unfavorable 360 basis points due primarily to the consolidation of Multipro results, higher input costs, mix shifts and costs related to growth in new pack formats, partially offset by favorable mark-to-market impacts. Currency-neutral adjusted gross margin was unfavorable 300 basis points compared to the prior year-to-date period after eliminating the impact of mark-to-market, Project K, Brexit, business and portfolio realignment, and foreign currency.

Restructuring Programs

We view our restructuring programs as part of our operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving our long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation. We continually evaluate potential restructuring programs and may pursue future initiatives that generate meaningful savings that can be utilized in achieving our long-term profit growth targets.

Project K

Since inception, Project K has reduced the Company’s cost structure, and is expected to provide enduring benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, an efficient global business services model, a global focus on categories, increased agility from a more efficient organization design, and improved effectiveness in go-to-market models.  These benefits are intended to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation.

The Company approved all remaining Project K initiatives as of the end of 2018 and implementation of these remaining initiatives will be completed in 2019. We expect to incur total charges of approximately $50 million in 2019 as we complete the implementation of previously approved Project K initiatives. For year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company has recorded total net charges of approximately $23 million related to Project K.

We currently anticipate that Project K will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are approved and implemented, of approximately $1.6 billion, with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital investments, estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion. Cash expenditures of approximately $1,150 million have been incurred through the end of fiscal year 2018.

We expect annual cost savings generated from Project K will be approximately $700 million in 2019. The savings will be realized primarily in selling, general and administrative expense with additional benefit realized in gross profit as cost of goods sold savings are partially offset by negative volume and price impacts resulting from go-to-market business model changes. The overall savings profile of the project reflects our go-to-market initiatives that will impact both selling, general and administrative expense and gross profit. We have realized approximately $650 million of annual savings through the end of 2018. Cost savings have been utilized to offset inflation and fund investments in areas such as in-store execution, sales capabilities, including adding sales representatives, re-establishing the Kashi business, and in the design and quality of our products. We have also invested in production capacity in developing and emerging markets, and in global category teams.

We also expect that the project will have an impact on our consolidated effective income tax rate during the execution of the project due to the timing of charges being taken in different tax jurisdictions. The impact of this project on our consolidated effective income tax rate will be excluded from the adjusted income tax rate that will be disclosed on a quarterly basis.

Project charges, after-tax cash costs and annual savings remain in line with expectations.

Other Programs

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan for the European reportable segment designed to simplify the organization, increase organizational efficiency, and enhance key processes. The overall program is expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2020.

The program is expected to result in cumulative pretax charges of approximately $50 million, including certain non-cash credits. Cash costs are expected to be approximately $57 million. The total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits; and charges related to relocation, third party legal and consulting fees, and contract termination costs. Annual savings from the program are expected to be approximately $35 million, with the majority of the savings realized by the end of 2020.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total net charges of $32 million related to this initiative. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense.

Additionally during the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan which primarily impacts the North America segment. The reorganization plan is designed to simplify the organization that supports the remaining North America business after the divestiture and related transition. This program is expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2020.

The overall program is expected to result in cumulative pretax charges of approximately $35 million. Cash costs are expected to approximate the pretax charges. Total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits and charges related to third party consulting fees. Annual savings from the project are expected to be approximately $50 million, with the majority of the savings realized by the end of 2020.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total net charges of $18 million related to this initiative. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. Certain of our assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily in the euro, British pound, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Brazilian Real, Nigerian Naira, and Russian ruble. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against these other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. This could have significant impact on our results if such increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar is substantial.

Interest expense

For the year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, interest expense was $149 million and $141 million, respectively. The increase from the comparable prior year period is due primarily to a higher average commercial paper balance during the period as well as the issuance of $400 million of three-year 3.25% Senior Notes due 2021 in conjunction with our purchase of additional equity interests in Tolaram Africa Foods, PTE LTD and Multipro in the second quarter of 2018.

43

Income Taxes

Our reported effective tax rate for the quarters ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was 20% and 15%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 benefited from a $31 million tax benefit attributable to discretionary pension contributions made in the second quarter of 2018 totaling $250 million, which were designated as 2017 tax year contributions.

The reported effective tax rate for the year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was 20% and 14%, respectively. For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate benefited from a discretionary pension contribution and a $44 million discrete tax benefit as a result of the remeasurement of deferred taxes following a legal entity restructuring.

The adjusted effective income tax rate for the quarters ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was 21% and 15%, respectively. The adjusted effective income tax rate for the year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was 21% and 14%, respectively.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could impact the expected effective income tax rate as it is dependent upon U.S. dollar earnings of foreign subsidiaries doing business in various countries with differing statutory rates. Additionally, the rate could be impacted by tax legislation and if pending uncertain tax matters, including tax positions that could be affected by planning initiatives, are resolved more or less favorably than we currently expect.

Brexit

In June 2016, a majority of voters in the United Kingdom elected to withdraw from the European Union in a national referendum. In February 2017, the British Parliament voted in favor of allowing the British government to begin negotiating the terms of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, and, in March 2017, the British government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, which, per the terms of the treaty, formally triggered a two-year negotiation process and put the United Kingdom on a course to withdraw from the European Union by the end of March 2019. The European Union recently granted an extension of the withdrawal date to October 31, 2019. With no agreement concluded as yet, the referendum has created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, including with respect to the laws and regulations that will apply as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate in the event of a withdrawal.

The impact to the financial trends of our European and Consolidated businesses resulting from Brexit is currently being evaluated. During 2018 we generated approximately 5% of our net sales and hold approximately 4% of consolidated assets in the United Kingdom as of June 29, 2019. As details of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union are finalized, we will continue to evaluate the impacts to our business.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows supplemented by borrowings for major acquisitions and other significant transactions. Our cash-generating capability is one of our fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs.

We have historically reported negative working capital primarily as the result of our focus to improve core working capital by reducing our levels of trade receivables and inventory while extending the timing of payment of our trade payables.  The impacts of the extended customer terms program and the monetization programs are included in our calculation of core working capital and are largely offsetting. Core working capital was improved by the extension of supplier payment terms. These programs are all part of our ongoing working capital management.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness which results in current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable which can have a significant impact on working capital as a result of the timing of these required payments. These factors, coupled with the use of our ongoing cash flows from operations to service our debt obligations, pay dividends, fund acquisition opportunities, and repurchase our common stock, reduce our working capital amounts. We had negative working capital of $1.5 billion and $0.7 billion as of June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

With the July 28, 2019 closing of the sale of selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses to Ferrero for approximately $1.3 billion in cash, we reduced our non-GAAP cash flow guidance for the estimated cash tax on proceeds from the sale, the absence of the divested businesses cash flow, working capital impacts of assets and liabilities not sold with the businesses, and transaction-related costs.  After-tax proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion will be used to repay outstanding debt, in order to reduce our leverage and provide additional financial flexibility for future operating and investing needs.

We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our credit facilities and other available financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that volatility and/or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows:

	Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 29, 2019			June 30, 2018
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	520		$	447
Investing activities	(327		)	(661		)
Financing activities	(177		)	162
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	3			28
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	19		$	(24	)

Operating activities

The principal source of our operating cash flow is net earnings, meaning cash receipts from the sale of our products, net of costs to manufacture and market our products.

Net cash provided by our operating activities for the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, totaled $520 million, an increase of $73 million over the same period in 2018, due to lower pension contributions in the current year partially offset by lower net income primarily as a result of higher input costs.

Our cash conversion cycle (defined as days of inventory and trade receivables outstanding less days of trade payables outstanding, based on a trailing 12 month average), was approximately negative 6 days for both of the 12 month periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

We measure cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases. Our cash

45

flow metric is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

	Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 29, 2019			June 30, 2018
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	520		$	447
Additions to properties	(294		)	(270		)
Cash flow	$	226		$	177

Our non-GAAP measure for cash flow increased to $226 million in the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, from $177 million in the comparable prior year period due to lower pension contributions partially offset by lower net income, the timing of tax payments, and higher capital expenditures.

Investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities totaled $327 million for the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019 compared to $661 million in the same period of 2018 due primarily our acquisition of an ownership interest in TAF for $381 million during the second quarter of 2018 and higher capital expenditures.

Financing activities

Our net cash used in financing activities for the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019 totaled $177 million compared to cash provided of $162 million during the comparable period of 2018 due primarily to higher share repurchases and lower proceeds from issuance of common stock. Commercial paper outstanding as of June 29, 2019 totaled $355 million compared to $197 million at June 30, 2018.

In December 2017, the board of directors approved a new authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion in shares beginning in 2018 through December 2019. Total purchases for the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, were 4 million shares for $220 million. Total purchases for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018, were 1 million shares for $50 million.

We paid cash dividends of $380 million in the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, compared to $374 million during the same period in 2018. The increase in dividends paid reflects our third quarter 2018 increase in the quarterly dividend to $.56 per common share from the previous $.54 per common share. In July 2019, the board of directors declared a dividend of $.57 per common share, payable on September 13, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 3, 2019. The dividend is broadly in line with our current plan to maintain our long-term dividend pay-out of approximately 50% of adjusted net income.

In January 2018, we entered into an unsecured Five-Year Credit Agreement to replace the existing agreement allowing us to borrow up to $1.5 billion, on a revolving basis.

In January 2019, we entered into an unsecured 364-Day Credit Agreement to borrow, on a revolving credit basis, up to $1.0 billion at any time outstanding, to replace the $1.0 billion 364-day facility that expired in January 2019.  The new credit facilities contains customary covenants and warranties, including specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens and a specified interest expense coverage ratio.  If an event of default occurs, then, to the extent permitted, the administrative agent may terminate the commitments under the credit facility, accelerate any outstanding loans under the agreement, and demand the deposit of cash collateral equal to the lender's letter of credit exposure plus interest.  There are no borrowings outstanding under the credit facilities.

We are in compliance with all debt covenants. We continue to believe that we will be able to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations and maintain our debt covenants for the foreseeable future. We expect our access to financing sources, along with operating cash flows, will be adequate to meet future operating, investing and financing needs, including the pursuit of selected acquisitions.

46

Monetization programs

We have a program in which customers could extend their payment terms in exchange for the elimination of early payment discounts (Extended Terms Program). In order to mitigate the net working capital impact of the Extended Terms Program for discrete customers, we entered into agreements to sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable balances to third party financial institutions (Monetization Programs). Transfers under the Monetization Programs are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Monetization Programs provide for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum funding from receivables that may be sold at any time is currently $1,033 million, but may be increased or decreased as customers move in or out of the Extended Terms Program and as additional financial institutions move in or out of the Monetization Programs. Accounts receivable sold of $947 million and $900 million remained outstanding under this arrangement as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively.

The Monetization Programs are designed to directly offset the impact the Extended Terms Program would have on the days-sales-outstanding (DSO) metric that is critical to the effective management of the Company's accounts receivable balance and overall working capital. Current DSO levels within North America are consistent with DSO levels prior to the execution of the Extended Term Program and Monetization Programs.

If financial institutions were to terminate their participation in the Monetization Programs and we were unable secure alternative arrangements, our ability to offer our Extended Terms Program and effectively manage our accounts receivable balance and overall working capital could be negatively impacted.

Future outlook

The Company reaffirmed full-year guidance based on first-half results and enhanced visibility after completion of its divestiture of selected cookies, fruit snacks, pie crusts, and ice-cream cones businesses on July 28, 2019.

Net sales growth is still expected to be 1-2% year on year on both a currency-neutral and organic basis.

Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit is expected to decline in the range of 4-5%, reflecting the loss of operating profit for the divested businesses.

Currency-neutral adjusted EPS is expected to decrease in the range of 10 to 11% year on year, as previously guided.

With the closing of its recent divestiture, the Company updated non-GAAP cash flow guidance for impacts of the divestiture. Operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion, down from $1.6-1.5 billion, and capital expenditures are expected to be closer to approximately $500 million, down slightly from our previous estimate. Non-GAAP cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less expenditures for property additions, is expected to be approximately $500 million. The update from previous guidance reflects estimated cash tax on proceeds from the sale, the absence of the divested businesses cash flow, working capital impacts of assets and liabilities not sold with the businesses, and transaction-related costs.

We are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of mark-to-market adjustments, and costs associated with Brexit because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market and regulatory conditions. Similarly, because of volatility in foreign exchange rates and shifts in country mix of our international earnings, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of foreign currency translation. 

As a result, these impacts are not included in the guidance provided. Therefore, we are unable to provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures used in our guidance without unreasonable effort as certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company.

Forward-looking statements

This Report contains “forward-looking statements” with projections concerning, among other things, the Company’s global growth and efficiency program (Project K), the integration of acquired businesses, our strategy, financial principles, and plans; initiatives, improvements and growth; sales, gross margins, advertising, promotion, merchandising, brand building, operating profit, and earnings per share; innovation; investments; capital expenditures; asset write-offs and expenditures and costs related to productivity or efficiency initiatives; the impact of accounting changes and significant accounting estimates; our ability to meet interest and debt principal repayment obligations; minimum contractual obligations; future common stock repurchases or debt reduction; effective income tax rate; cash flow and core working capital improvements; interest expense; commodity, and energy prices; and employee benefit plan costs and funding. Forward-looking statements include predictions of future results or activities and may contain the words “expect,” “believe,” “will,” “can,” “anticipate,” “project,” “should,” “estimate,” or words or phrases of similar meaning. For example, forward-looking statements are found in Item 1 and in several sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our actual results or activities may differ materially from these predictions. Our future results could be affected by a variety of factors, including:

• the expected benefits and costs of the divestiture of selected cookies, fruit and fruit flavored-snacks, pie crusts, and ice-cream cones businesses of the Company, the risk that disruptions from the divestiture will divert management's focus or harm the Company’s business, risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects, risks associated with the Company’s provision of transition services to the divested businesses post-closing;

• the ability to implement restructuring and reorganization plans, as planned, whether the expected amount of costs associated with these plans will exceed forecasts, whether the Company will be able to realize the anticipated benefits from these plans in the amounts and times expected;

• the ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our implementation of a more formal revenue growth management discipline;

• the ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from acquired businesses in the amounts and at the times expected;

• the impact of competitive conditions;

48

• the effectiveness of pricing, advertising, and promotional programs;

• the success of innovation, renovation and new product introductions;

• the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles;

• the success of productivity improvements and business transitions;

• commodity and energy prices;

• labor and transportation costs;

• disruptions or inefficiencies in supply chain;

• the availability of and interest rates on short-term and long-term financing;

• actual market performance of benefit plan trust investments;

• the levels of spending on systems initiatives, properties, business opportunities, integration of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative costs;

• changes in consumer behavior and preferences;

• the effect of U.S. and foreign economic conditions on items such as interest rates, statutory tax rates, currency conversion and availability;

• legal and regulatory factors including changes in food safety, advertising and labeling laws and regulations;

• the ultimate impact of product recalls;

• adverse changes in global climate or extreme weather conditions;

• business disruption or other losses from natural disasters, war, terrorist acts, or political unrest; and,

• the risks and uncertainties described herein under Part II, Item 1A.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our Company is exposed to certain market risks, which exist as a part of our ongoing business operations. We use derivative financial and commodity instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Refer to Note 12 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative financial and commodity instruments.

Refer to disclosures contained within Item 7A of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than changes noted here, there have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk as of June 29, 2019.

There have also been periods of increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations specifically within the United Kingdom and Europe, as a result of the UK referendum held on June 23, 2016, in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as Brexit. As a result of the referendum, the British government formally initiated the process for withdrawal in March 2017. In January 2019, the draft of the withdrawal agreement, that was previously published in November 2018, was rejected by the UK parliament. The terms of withdrawal have not been established. The European Union granted an extension from the original March 29, 2019 deadline to October 31, 2019. If no agreement is concluded by that date, the United Kingdom will leave the European Union at such time. Accordingly, the referendum has created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, including with respect to the laws and regulations that will apply as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate in the event of a withdrawal. We recognize that there are still significant uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of Brexit negotiations, and we will continue to monitor any changes that may arise and assess their potential impact on our business.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, we entered into forward starting interest swaps with notional amounts totaling $225 million, as hedges against interest rate volatility associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed rate U.S. Dollar debt. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.

49

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, we settled interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling €1.8 billion that were previously designated as fair value hedges for certain Euro debt for an aggregate gain of $40 million. This gain will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. Additionally during the quarter ended June 29, 2019, we entered into new interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling €1.2 billion that were designated as fair value hedges for certain Euro debt.

We have interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.5 billion representing a settlement obligation of $8 million as of June 29, 2019. We had interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.6 billion representing a settlement obligation of $5 million as of December 29, 2018.

During 2019, we entered into cross currency swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately €150 million, as hedges against foreign currency volatility associated with our net investment in our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. These swaps were designated as net investment hedges. We have cross currency swaps with notional amounts totaling $1.4 billion outstanding as of June 29, 2019 representing a settlement receivable of $95 million. The total notional amount of cross currency swaps outstanding as of December 29, 2018 was $1.2 billion representing a net settlement receivable of $79 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of June 29, 2019, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018. The risk factors disclosed under those Reports in addition to the other information set forth in this Report, could materially affect our business, financial condition, or results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we deem to be immaterial could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In December 2017, the board of directors approved an authorization to repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of our common stock beginning in January 2018 through December 2019. This authorization is intended to allow us to repurchase shares for general corporate purposes and to offset issuances for employee benefit programs.

Accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed balance sheet information at December 29, 2018 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 29, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

Accounts payable

The Company has agreements with certain third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal in entering into these agreements is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. As of June 29, 2019, $823 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $595 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. As of December 29, 2018, $893 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $701 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions.

New accounting standards adopted in the period

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) permitting a company to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. We elected to adopt the ASU effective in the first quarter of 2019 and reclassified the disproportionate income tax effect recorded within AOCI to retained earnings. This resulted in a decrease to AOCI and an increase to retained earnings of $22 million. The adjustment primarily related to deferred taxes previously recorded for pension and other postretirement benefits, as well as hedging positions for debt and net investment hedges.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The distinction between finance leases and operating leases remains, with similar classification criteria as current GAAP to distinguish between capital and operating leases. The principal difference from prior guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

The Company adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2019, using the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that allows for the carry forward of historical lease classifications and consistent treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company also

elected to apply the practical expedient that allows the continued historical treatment of land easements. The Company did not elect the practical expedient for the use of hindsight in evaluating the expected lease term of existing leases.

The adoption of the ASU resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $453 million and $461 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2018. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities, represents existing deferred rent and prepaid lease balances that were reclassified on the balance sheet. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The ASU allows companies to capitalize implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, including periods covered by renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption.

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets [Abstract]

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets [Text Block]

Sale of accounts receivable

The Company has a program in which a discrete group of customers are allowed to extend their payment terms in exchange for the elimination of early payment discounts (Extended Terms Program).

The Company has two Receivable Sales Agreements (Monetization Programs) described below, which are intended to directly offset the impact the Extended Terms Program would have on the days-sales-outstanding (DSO) metric that is critical to the effective management of the Company's accounts receivable balance and overall working capital. The Monetization Programs are designed to effectively offset the impact on working capital of the Extended Terms Program. The Monetization Programs sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable invoices to third party financial institutions. Transfers under these agreements are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Monetization Programs provide for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum receivables that may be sold at any time is $1,033 million. 

The Company has no retained interest in the receivables sold, however the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold receivables. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 for these agreements as the fair value of these servicing arrangements as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.

Accounts receivable sold of $947 million and $900 million remained outstanding under these arrangements as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The recorded net loss on sale of receivables was $7 million and $15 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively and was $6 million and $12 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The recorded loss is included in Other income and expense.

Other programs

Additionally, from time to time certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries will transfer, without recourse, accounts receivable invoices of certain customers to financial institutions. These transactions are accounted for as sales of the receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accounts receivable sold of $21 million and $93 million remained outstanding under these programs as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The recorded net loss on the sale of these receivables is included in Other income and expense (OIE) and is not material.

Acquisitions, West Africa investments, goodwill and other intangible assets

Multipro acquisition

On May 2, 2018, the Company (i) acquired an incremental 1% ownership interest in Multipro, a leading distributor of a variety of food products in Nigeria and Ghana, and (ii) exercised its call option (Purchase Option) to acquire a 50% interest in Tolaram Africa Foods, PTE LTD (TAF), a holding company with a 49% equity interest in an affiliated food manufacturer, resulting in the Company having a 24.5% interest in the affiliated food manufacturer. The aggregate cash consideration paid was approximately $419 million and was funded through cash on hand and short-term borrowings, which was refinanced with long-term borrowings in May 2018. As part of the consideration for the acquisition, an escrow established in connection with the original Multipro investment in 2015, which represented a significant portion of the amount paid for the Company’s initial investment, was released by the Company. 

As a result of the Company’s incremental ownership interest in Multipro and concurrent changes to the shareholders' agreement, the Company has a 51% controlling interest in and is consolidating Multipro. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the assets and liabilities of Multipro were included in the June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 Consolidated Balance Sheet and the results of its operations have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income subsequent to the acquisition date within the AMEA reporting segment. The Multipro investment was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the Company recorded our share of equity income or loss from Multipro within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities. In connection with the business combination, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash gain in the second quarter of 2018 on the disposition of our previously held equity interest in Multipro of $245 million, which is included within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities.

The Company's June 30, 2018 quarter-to-date and year-to-date consolidated unaudited pro forma historical net sales and net income, as if Multipro had been acquired at the beginning of 2018, exclusive of the non-cash $245 million gain on the disposition of the equity interest recognized in the second quarter of 2018, are estimated as follows:

	Quarter ended		Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 30, 2018		June 30, 2018
Net sales	$	3,433	$	7,043
Net Income attributable to Kellogg Company	$	596	$	1,040

Investment in TAF

The investment in TAF, our interest in an affiliated food manufacturer, is accounted for under the equity method of accounting with the Company’s share of equity income or loss being recognized within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities. The $458 million aggregate of the consideration paid upon exercise and the historical cost value of the Put Option was compared to the estimated fair value of the Company’s ownership percentage of TAF and the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash loss in the second quarter of 2018 of $45 million within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, which represents an other than temporary excess of cost over fair value of the investment. The difference between the carrying amount of TAF and the underlying equity in net assets is primarily attributable to brand and customer list intangible assets, a portion of which is being amortized over future periods, and goodwill.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, intangible assets subject to amortization, consisting primarily of customer relationships, distribution agreements, and indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of brands, are presented in the following tables:

Impairment Testing

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may be impaired, including a change in reporting units or composition of reporting units as a result of a re-organization in internal reporting structures.

For the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of the reporting units are estimated based on market multiples. This approach employs market multiples based on either sales or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for companies that are comparable to the Company’s reporting units. In the event the fair value determined using the market multiple approach is close to carrying value, the Company may supplement the fair value determination using discounted cash flows. The assumptions used for the impairment test are consistent with those utilized by a market participant performing similar valuations for the Company’s reporting units.

These estimates are made using various inputs including historical data, current and anticipated market conditions, management plans, and market comparables.

On December 30, 2018 the Company reorganized our North American business. The reorganization eliminated the legacy business unit structure and internal reporting. In addition, the Company changed the internal reporting

provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and segment manager. As a result, the Company reevaluated its operating segments and reporting units.

In addition, we transferred the management of our Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey businesses from Kellogg Europe to Kellogg AMEA, effective December 30, 2018.

Refer to Note 12, Reportable Segments for further details on these changes. As a result of these changes in operating segments and related reporting units, the Company re-allocated goodwill between reporting units where necessary and compared the carrying value to the fair value of each impacted reporting unit on a before and after basis. This evaluation was only required to be performed on reporting units impacted by the changes noted above.

Effective December 30, 2018 in North America, the previous U.S. Snacks, U.S. Morning Foods, U.S. Specialty Channels, U.S. Frozen Foods, Kashi, Canada and RX operating segments are now a single operating segment (Kellogg North America). At the beginning of 2019, the Company evaluated the related impacted reporting units for impairment on a before and after basis and concluded that the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded their carrying values. On a before basis, the previous Kashi reporting unit's percentage of excess of fair value over carrying value was approximately 18% using the same methodology as the 2018 annual impairment analysis, which was performed as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2018. The fair value of the previous Kashi reporting unit was estimated primarily based on a multiple of net sales and discounted cash flows.

Approximately $46 million of goodwill was re-allocated between the impacted reporting units within Kellogg Europe and Kellogg AMEA related to the transfer of businesses between these operating segments. The Company performed a goodwill evaluation of the impacted reporting units on a before and after basis and concluded that the fair value of the impacted reporting units exceeded their carrying values.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2019, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would be selling its selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses within the North America reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed a goodwill impairment evaluation on the North America reporting unit in the first quarter of 2019 and concluded that the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the businesses to Ferrero. In connection with the execution of the definitive agreement, the net assets and liabilities of these businesses, included in the North America reporting unit, were classified as held for sale including $191 million of Goodwill and $765 million of Net Intangibles.

Restructuring and Cost Reduction Activities

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring and Cost Reduction Activities

Restructuring Programs

The Company views its restructuring programs as part of its operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a 3 to 5-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.

Project K

Since inception, Project K has reduced the Company’s cost structure, and is expected to provide enduring benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, an efficient global business services model, a global focus on categories, increased agility from a more efficient organization design, and improved effectiveness in go-to-market models.  These benefits are intended to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation.

The Company approved all remaining Project K initiatives as of the end of 2018 and implementation of these remaining initiatives will be completed in 2019. Project charges, after-tax costs and annual savings remain in line with expectations.

The Company currently anticipates that the program will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are implemented, of $1.6 billion, with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital investments, estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion. Based on current estimates and actual charges to date, the Company expects the total project charges will consist of asset-related costs of approximately $500 million which will consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other exit-related costs; employee-related costs of approximately $400 million which includes severance, pension and other termination benefits; and other costs of approximately

$700 million which consists primarily of charges related to the design and implementation of global business capabilities and a more efficient go-to-market model.

The Company currently expects that total pre-tax charges related to Project K will impact reportable segments as follows: North America (approximately 65%), Europe (approximately 22%), Latin America (approximately 3%), AMEA (approximately 6%), and Corporate (approximately 4%).

During the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total net charges of $15 million and $23 million, respectively related to Project K. During the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded total net charges of $5 million and $25 million, respectively related to Project K.

Since the inception of Project K, the Company has recognized charges of $1,543 million that have been attributed to the program. The charges consist of $6 million recorded as a reduction of revenue, $910 million recorded in cost of goods sold (COGS), $794 million recorded in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, and $(167) million recorded in OIE.

Other Programs

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan for the European reportable segment designed to simplify the organization, increase organizational efficiency, and enhance key processes. The overall project is expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2020.

The project is expected to result in cumulative pretax net charges of approximately $50 million, including certain non-cash credits. Cash costs are expected to be approximately $57 million. The total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits and charges related to relocation, third party legal and consulting fees, and contract termination costs.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total charges of $32 million related to this initiative. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense.

Additionally during the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced a reorganization plan which primarily impacts the North America reportable segment. The reorganization plan is designed to simplify the organization that supports the remaining North America reportable segment after the divestiture and related transition. The overall project is expected to be substantially completed by December 31, 2020.

The overall project is expected to result in cumulative pretax charges of approximately $35 million. Cash costs are expected to approximate the pretax charges. Total expected charges will include severance and other termination benefits and charges related to third party consulting fees.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded total charges of $18 million related to this initiative. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense.

Equity [Abstract]

Equity

Equity

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, restricted stock units, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. There were 15 million and 14 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019. There were 9 million and 6 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018. Please refer to the Consolidated Statement of Income for basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Share repurchases

In December 2017, the board of directors approved a new authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of our common stock beginning in January 2018 through December 2019. As of June 29, 2019, $960 million remains available under the authorization.

During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 4 million shares of common stock for a total of $220 million. During the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased less than 1 million shares of common stock for a total of $50 million.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, fair value adjustments associated with cash flow hedges and adjustments for net experience losses and prior service cost related to employee benefit plans, net of related tax effects.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

The Company leases certain warehouses, equipment, vehicles, and office space primarily through operating lease agreements. Finance lease obligations and activity are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Lease obligations are primarily for real estate assets, with the remainder related to manufacturing and distribution related equipment, vehicles, information technology equipment, and rail cars. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

A portion of the Company's real estate leases include future variable rental payments that include inflationary adjustment factors. The future variability of these adjustments is unknown and therefore not included in the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The leases have remaining terms which range from less than 1 year to 10 years and the majority of leases provide the Company with the option to exercise one or more renewal terms. The length of the lease term used in recording lease assets and lease liabilities is based on the contractually required lease term adjusted for any options to renew or early terminate the lease that are reasonably certain of being executed.

The Company combines lease and non-lease components together in determining the minimum lease payments for the majority of leases. The Company has elected to not combine lease and non-lease components for certain asset types in service-related agreements that include significant production related costs. The Company has closely

analyzed these agreements to ensure any embedded costs related to the securing of the leased asset is properly segregated and accounted for in measuring the lease assets and liabilities.

The majority of the leases do not include a stated interest rate, and therefore the Company's periodic incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. This rate is calculated based on a collateralized rate for the specific currencies used in leasing activities and the borrowing ability of the applicable Company legal entity. For the initial implementation of the lease standard, the incremental borrowing rate at December 29, 2018 was used to present value operating lease assets and liabilities.

The Company recorded operating lease costs of $32 million and $64 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019. Lease related costs associated with variable rent, short-term leases, and sale-leaseback arrangements, as well as sublease income, are each immaterial.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

Stock Compensation

Stock compensation

The Company uses various equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for its global workforce. Currently, these incentives consist principally of stock options, restricted stock units, and to a lesser extent, executive performance shares and restricted stock grants. The Company also sponsors a discounted stock purchase plan in the United States and matching-grant programs in several international locations. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock to its outside directors. The interim information below should be read in conjunction with the disclosures included within the stock compensation footnote of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in COGS and SG&A expense principally within its Corporate segment. For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of equity-based programs and the related income tax benefit recognized was as follows:

	Quarter ended				Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 29, 2019		June 30, 2018		June 29, 2019		June 30, 2018
Pre-tax compensation expense	$	18	$	16	$	32	$	33
Related income tax benefit	$	5	$	4	$	8	$	8

During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company granted approximately 0.9 million restricted stock units at a weighted average cost of $56 per share and 2.8 million non-qualified stock options at a weighted average cost of $7 per share. Terms of these grants and the Company’s methods for determining grant-date fair value of the awards were consistent with that described within the stock compensation footnote in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Performance shares

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The number of shares earned could range between 0% and 200% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the three year vesting period. The performance conditions of the award include organic net sales growth and total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company’s common stock relative to a select group of peer companies.

A Monte Carlo valuation model was used to determine the fair value of the awards. The TSR performance metric is a market condition. Therefore, compensation cost of the TSR condition is fixed at the measurement date and is not revised based on actual performance. The TSR metric was valued as a multiplier of possible levels of organic net sales growth achievement. Compensation cost related to organic net sales growth performance is revised for changes in the expected outcome. The 2019 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 239,000 shares, with a grant-date fair value of $59 per share.

The 2016 performance share award, payable in stock, was settled at 85% of target in February 2019 for a total dollar equivalent of $6 million.

For the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2019, the Company recognized a loss of $11 million related to the remeasurement of a U.S. pension plan as current year distributions are expected to exceed service and interest costs resulting in settlement accounting for that particular plan. The amount of the remeasurement loss recognized was due primarily to an unfavorable change in the discount rate.

Company contributions to employee benefit plans are summarized as follows:

(millions)	Pension		Nonpension postretirement		Total

Income Taxes

Income taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 was 20% as compared to 15% in the same quarter of the prior year. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 benefited $31 million due to discretionary pension contributions made in the second quarter of 2018 totaling $250 million, which were designated as 2017 tax year contributions.

The consolidated effective tax rate for the year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was 20% and 14%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2018 benefited from a discretionary pension contribution and a $44 million discrete tax benefit as a result of the remeasurement of deferred taxes following a legal entity restructuring.

As of June 29, 2019, the Company classified $10 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current liability. Management’s estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months consists of the current liability balance expected to be settled within one year, offset by approximately $2 million of projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate.

The Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 29, 2019 was $97 million, unchanged from year-end. Of this balance, $87 million represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods.

The accrual balance for tax-related interest was approximately $22 million at June 29, 2019.

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative instruments and fair value measurements

The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative and nonderivative financial instruments and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged.

The Company designates derivatives and nonderivative hedging instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.

Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 were as follows:

(millions)	June 29, 2019		December 29, 2018
Foreign currency exchange contracts	$	1,623	$	1,863
Cross-currency contracts	1,363		1,197
Interest rate contracts	1,507		1,608
Commodity contracts	322		417
Total	$	4,815	$	5,085

Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, measured on a recurring basis.

Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.

Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.

The Company’s 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 interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Cross-currency contracts are valued based on changes in the spot rate at the time of valuation compared to the spot rate at the time of execution, as well as the change in the interest differential between the two currencies. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of June 29, 2019 or December 29, 2018.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018:

The Company has designated its outstanding foreign currency denominated long-term debt as a net investment hedge of a portion of the Company’s investment in its subsidiaries’ foreign currency denominated net assets. The carrying value of this debt was approximately $2.6 billion as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018.

The following amounts were recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for existing fair value hedges as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018.

(millions)	Line Item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in which the hedged item is included	Carrying amount of the hedged liabilities				Cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying amount of the hedged liabilities (a)

Interest rate contracts	Long-term debt	$	3,388	$	3,354	$	22	$	(18	)

(a) The current maturities of hedged long-term debt includes $1 million and $3 million of hedging adjustment on discontinued hedging relationships as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The hedged long-term debt includes $16 million and $(12) million of hedging adjustment on discontinued hedging relationships as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively.

The Company has elected to not offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:

As of June 29, 2019:				Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet
	Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet			Financial Instruments			Cash Collateral Received/ Posted			Net Amount
Total asset derivatives	$	114		$	(25	)	$	(7	)	$	82

During the next 12 months, the Company expects $5 million of net deferred losses reported in AOCI at June 29, 2019 to be reclassified to income, assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions requiring the Company to post collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a liability position if the Company’s credit rating is at or below BB+ (S&P), or Baa1 (Moody’s). The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position on June 29, 2019 was not material. In addition, certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would be triggered in the event the Company defaults on its debt agreements. There were no collateral posting as of June 29, 2019 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features.

Other fair value measurements

The following is a summary of the carrying and market values of the Company's available for sale securities:

	June 29, 2019						December 29, 2018
			Unrealized						Unrealized
(millions)	Cost		Gain (Loss)		Market Value		Cost		Gain (Loss)		Market Value
Corporate bonds	$	60	$	3	$	63	$	59	$	—	$	59

The market values of the Company's investments in level 2 corporate bonds are based on matrices or models from pricing vendors. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and requires the recognition of an impairment loss in earnings. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than its cost, the Company's intent to hold the investment, and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the cost basis. The Company also considers the type of security, related industry and sector performance, and published investment ratings. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If conditions within individual markets, industry segments, or macro-economic environments deteriorate, the Company could incur future impairments.

The investments are recorded within Other current assets and Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on the maturity of the individual security. The maturity dates of the securities range from 2020 to 2028.

Financial instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s short-term items, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which are level 2 liabilities, is calculated based on broker quotes. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $8.7 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively, as of June 29, 2019. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt were both $8.2 billion as of December 29, 2018.

Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. Management believes a concentration of credit risk with respect to derivative counterparties is limited due to the credit ratings and use of master netting and reciprocal collateralization agreements with the counterparties and the use of exchange-traded commodity contracts.

Master netting agreements apply in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. Certain counterparties represent a concentration of credit risk to the Company. If those counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of derivative contracts, this would result in a loss to the Company. As of June 29, 2019, the Company was not in a material net asset position with any counterparties with which a master netting agreement would apply.

For certain derivative contracts, reciprocal collateralization agreements with counterparties call for the posting of collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss position to the Company or its counterparties exceeds a certain amount. In addition, the Company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with its open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments executed with the counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. As of June 29, 2019, the Company had no collateral posting requirements related to reciprocal collateralization agreements and collected approximately $19 million of collateral related to reciprocal collaterization agreements which is reflected as an increase in other liabilities. As of June 29, 2019 the Company posted $12 million in margin deposits for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Management believes concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the generally high credit quality of the Company’s major customers, as well as the large number and geographic dispersion of smaller customers. However, the Company conducts a disproportionate amount of business with a small number of large multinational grocery retailers, with the five largest accounts encompassing approximately 20% of consolidated trade receivables at June 29, 2019.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Reportable Segments

Reportable segments

Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, cookies, veggie foods and noodles. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. Principal markets for these products include the United States, United Kingdom, and Nigeria.

On December 30, 2018 the Company reorganized its North American business. The reorganization eliminated the legacy business unit structure and internal reporting. In addition, the Company changed the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and segment manager. As a result, the Company reevaluated its operating segments. In conjunction with the reorganization, certain global research and development resources and related activities were transferred from the North America business to Corporate. Prior period segment results were not restated for the transfer as the impacts were not considered material.

In addition, the Company transferred its Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey businesses from Kellogg Europe to Kellogg AMEA, effective December 30, 2018. This consolidated the Company's Africa business under a single regional management team. All comparable prior periods have been restated to reflect the change. For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, the change resulted in $62 million and $129 million, respectively, of reported net sales and $10 million and $24 million, respectively, of reported operating profit transferring from Kellogg Europe to Kellogg AMEA.

The Company manages its operations through four operating segments that are based on geographic location – North America which includes U.S. businesses and Canada; Europe which consists principally of European

countries; Latin America which consists of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and AMEA (Asia Middle East Africa) which consists of Africa, Middle East, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets. These operating segments also represent our reportable segments.

The measurement of reportable segment results is based on segment operating profit which is generally consistent with the presentation of operating profit in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Reportable segment results were as follows:

Subsequent events

On July 24, 2019, the Company announced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of the $$500 million 4.15% Senior Notes due November 2019, plus up to $500 million of aggregate principal of its 4.0% Senior Notes due December 2020, 3.25% Senior Notes due May 2021, 2.65% Senior Notes due May 2023, and 3.4% Senior Notes due November 2027.

On July 28, 2019, the Company completed its sale of selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses to Ferrero for approximately $1.3 billion in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment mechanism.  Both the total assets and net assets of the businesses, including a targeted working capital amount is estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion, and resulted in an immaterial pre-tax gain upon closing. After-tax proceeds from the divestiture are expected to be utilized to repay debt.

In conjunction with the completion of the sale, the Company incurred closing costs of approximately $15 million in the third quarter and expects to incur a cash tax liability of approximately $260 million to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company is no longer obligated to contribute to certain multi-employer pension plans and it is probable it will incur a withdrawal liability estimated at $110 million related to its exit from these plans. This amount represents management's best estimate. Actual results could differ. The cash obligation is payable over a maximum period of 20 years; management has not determined the actual period over which payments will be made.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed balance sheet information at December 29, 2018 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 29, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

Accounts payable

Accounts payable

The Company has agreements with certain third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal in entering into these agreements is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers.

New accounting standards adopted and accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

New accounting standards adopted in the period

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) permitting a company to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. We elected to adopt the ASU effective in the first quarter of 2019 and reclassified the disproportionate income tax effect recorded within AOCI to retained earnings. This resulted in a decrease to AOCI and an increase to retained earnings of $22 million. The adjustment primarily related to deferred taxes previously recorded for pension and other postretirement benefits, as well as hedging positions for debt and net investment hedges.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The distinction between finance leases and operating leases remains, with similar classification criteria as current GAAP to distinguish between capital and operating leases. The principal difference from prior guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

The Company adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2019, using the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that allows for the carry forward of historical lease classifications and consistent treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company also

elected to apply the practical expedient that allows the continued historical treatment of land easements. The Company did not elect the practical expedient for the use of hindsight in evaluating the expected lease term of existing leases.

The adoption of the ASU resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $453 million and $461 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2018. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities, represents existing deferred rent and prepaid lease balances that were reclassified on the balance sheet. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The ASU allows companies to capitalize implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, including periods covered by renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption.
