Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries.

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and operating results. Net revenues and net earningscash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.

We derived the condensed consolidated balance sheet data as For a complete set of December 31, 2015 from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. You should read these statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes, inrefer to our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Principles of Consolidation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As of the close of the fourth quarter of 2015 fiscal year, we deconsolidated and changed to the cost method of accounting for our Venezuelan operations from our consolidated financial statements.operations. As such, for all periods presented, we have excluded the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of our Venezuelan subsidiaries are not included infrom our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The operating results of our Venezuelan subsidiaries are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Seestatements.

Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting: VenezuelaSegment Change below for more information.:

On July 2, 2015,October 1, 2016, we contributedintegrated our global coffee businessesEastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EEMEA”) operating segment into our Europe and Asia Pacific operating segments to further leverage and optimize the operating scale built within the Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Belarus, Georgia and Kazakhstan were combined within our Europe region, while the remaining Middle East and African countries were combined within our Asia Pacific region to form a new company, Jacobs Douwe EgbertsAsia, Middle East and Africa (“JDE”AMEA”), operating segment. We have reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in which we now hold an equity interest (collectively, the “JDE coffee business transactions”). Historically,all periods presented.

As of October 1, 2016, our coffee businessesoperations and the income from equity method investmentsmanagement structure were recorded within ourorganized into four reportable operating income as these businesses were part of our base business. While we retain an ongoing interest in coffee through equity method investments including JDE, Keurig Green Mountain Inc. (“Keurig”) and Dongsuh Foods Corporation (“DSF”), and we have significant influence with our equity method investments, we do not control these operations directly. As such, in the third quarter of 2015, we began to recognize equity method investment earnings, consisting primarily of investments in coffee businesses, outside of operating income and segment income. For periods prior to the third quarter of 2015, our historical coffee business and equity method investment earnings were included within our operating income and segment income. Please see Note 2,Divestitures and Acquisitions – JDE Coffee Business TransactionsandKeurig Transaction, andsegments:

See Note 15,Segment Reporting, for moreadditional information on these transactions.our segments.

Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting:

We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.

United Kingdom.OnHighly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country, from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. As of June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) voted by referendum30, 2017, none of our consolidated subsidiaries were subject to exit the European Union (“E.U.”); this vote is commonly referredhighly inflationary accounting.

Argentina. We continue to as “Brexit.” The referendum is non-bindingclosely monitor inflation and the exit frompotential for the E.U. iseconomy to become highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As of June 30, 2017, the Argentinian economy was not immediate. Once the U.K. invokes E.U. Article 50, there is a two-year window in which the U.K. and European Commission can negotiate the future terms for imports, exports, taxes, employment, immigration and other areas.

Brexit has caused volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rates, affecting the markets in which we operate. The implications of Brexit could adversely affect demand for our products, our financial results and operations, and our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees in the short or long-term. On June 24, 2016, the value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar fell by 9%. Since that date, the value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar declined an additional 5% through September 30, 2016. Further volatility in the exchange rate is expected over the transition period.

As the business operating environment remains uncertain,designated as highly inflationary. At this time, we continue to monitor our investments and currency exposures abroad. As the U.K. is not a highly-inflationary economy, we record currency translation adjustments within equity and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings. While we did not experience significant business disruptions in our U.K. businesses immediately following the referendum, the devaluation of the British pound sterling in late June adversely affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. We have a natural hedge in the form of pound sterling-denominated debt that acts as a net investment hedge, moving counter to adverse pound sterling currency translation impacts. British pound sterling currency transaction risks are largely mitigated due to our global chocolate businesses buying cocoa in British pound sterling. Our U.K.Argentinian operations contributed $505$159 million, or 7.9%2.7% of consolidated net revenues in the three months and $1.6 billion,$301 million, or 8.4%2.4% of consolidated net revenues in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.

Venezuela.From January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2015, we accounted for the results of2017, and our Venezuelan subsidiaries using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency as prescribed by U.S. GAAP for highly inflationary economies.

EffectiveArgentinian operations had a net monetary liability position as of June 30, 2017.

Ukraine. In the closesecond quarter of 2017, based on projected inflation data published by the 2015 fiscal year, we concluded that weNational Bank of Ukraine, Ukraine’s three-year cumulative inflation rate dropped below 100% and it is projected to stay below 100% in late 2017. As such, Ukraine is no longer met the accounting criteria for consolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiaries due to a loss of control over our Venezuelan operations and an other-than-temporary lack of currency exchangeability. During the fourth quarter of 2015, representatives of the Venezuelan government arbitrarily imposed pricing restrictions on our local operations that resulted in our inability to recover operating costs. We immediately began an appeal process with the Venezuelan authorities to demonstrate that our pricing was in line with the regulatory requirements. In January 2016, local officials communicated that some of the pricing restrictions had been lifted; however, the legally required administrative order had not been issued and it was uncertain when it would be issued. The legal and regulatory environment also became more unreliable. While we had been complying with the Venezuelan law governing pricing and profitability controls and followed the legal process for appeal, the appeal process was not available to us as outlined under law. Additionally, we were increasingly facing issues procuring raw materials and packaging. Taken together, these actions, the economic environment in Venezuela and the progressively limited access to dollars to import goods through the use of any of the available currency mechanisms impaired our ability to operate and control our Venezuelan businesses. As a result of these factors, we concluded that we no longer met the criteria for the consolidation of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.

As of the close of the 2015 fiscal year, we deconsolidated and changed to the cost method of accounting for our Venezuelan operations. We recorded a $778 million pre-tax loss on December 31, 2015 as we reduced the value of our cost method investment in Venezuela and all Venezuelan receivables held by our other subsidiaries to realizable fair value, resulting in full impairment. The recorded loss also included historical cumulative translation adjustments related to our Venezuelan operations that had previously been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive losses within equity. The fair value of our investments in our Venezuelan subsidiaries was estimated based on discounted cash flow projections of current and expected operating losses in the foreseeable future and our ability to operate the business on a sustainable basis. Our fair value estimate included U.S. dollar exchange and discount rate assumptions that reflect the inflation and economic uncertainty in Venezuela.

Beginning in 2016, we no longer include net revenues, earnings or net assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries within our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the cost method of accounting, earnings are only recognized to the extent cash is received. Given the current and ongoing difficult economic, regulatory and business environment in Venezuela, there continues to be significant uncertainty related to our operations in Venezuela, and we expect these conditions will continue for the foreseeable future. We will monitor the extent of our ability to control our Venezuelan operations and the liquidity and availability of U.S. dollars at different rates, including the changes to the currency exchange systems in March 2016, as our current situation in Venezuela may change over time and lead to consolidation at a future date.

We recorded no revenues, earnings or other financial results from our Venezuelan subsidiaries during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,designated highly inflationary and we continue to monitor the business, economic and regulatory climate in Venezuela. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the operating results of our Venezuelan operations were included in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. During the first quarter of 2015, we recognized an $11 million currency-related remeasurement loss resulting from a devaluation of the Venezuela bolivar exchange rate we historically used to source U.S. dollars for purchases of imported raw materials, packaging and other goods and services.

The following table sets forth net revenues and operating income (including the impact of remeasurement losses) for our Venezuelan operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015:

Argentina. On December 16, 2015, the new Argentinean government fiscal authority announced the lifting of strict currency controls and reduced restrictions on exports and imports. The next day, the value of the Argentinean peso relative to the U.S. dollar fell by 36%. In the first nine months of 2016, the value of the Argentinean peso relative to the U.S. dollar declined 18%. Further volatility in the exchange rate is expected. While the business operating environment remains challenging, we continue to monitor and actively manage our investment and exposures in Argentina. We continue executing our hedging programs and refining our product portfolio to improve our product offerings, mix and profitability. We also continue to implement additional cost initiatives to protect the business. While further currency declines could have an adverse impact on our ongoing results of operations, we believe the actions by the new government to reduce economic controls and business restrictions will provide favorable opportunities for our Argentinean subsidiaries. Our Argentinean operations contributed $145 million, or 2.3% of consolidated net revenues in the three months and $439 million, or 2.3% of consolidated net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the net monetary liabilities of our Argentina operations were not material. Argentina is not designated as a highly-inflationary economy for accounting purposes, so we record currency translation adjustments

within equity and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings. Our Ukraine operations contributed $15 million, or 0.3%, of consolidated net revenues in the three months and $30 million, or 0.2% of consolidated net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2017, and our Ukraine net monetary assets as of June 30, 2017 were not material.

Other Countries.Since we sell in approximately 165 countries and have operations in over 80 countries, and sell in 165 countries, we regularly monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to these exposures. Some of the countries in which we do business have recently experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty. These include Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, United Kingdom (Brexit), Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria and Ukraine,South Africa, most of which have had either currency devaluation or volatility in exchange rates.rate volatility. We continue to monitor operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in these countries. At this time, we do not anticipate anya risk to our operating results from changing to highly inflationary accounting in these countries.

Transfers of Financial Assets:

We account for transfers of financial assets, such as uncommitted revolvingnon-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We use receivable factoring arrangements periodically when circumstances are favorable to manage liquidity. We have a factoring arrangement with a major global bank for a maximum combined capacity of $820 million.$1.0 billion. Under the program, we may sell eligible short-term trade receivables to the bank in exchange for cash. We then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the bank. WeThe outstanding principal amount of receivables under this arrangement amounted to $594 million as of June 30, 2017 and $644 million as of December 31, 2016. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was recorded in net revenue and was approximately $2 million in the three months and $3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and was $1 million in the three months and $2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016. During our contract negotiations with customers, we also enter into arrangementswork with our customers to achieve earlier collection of receivables. The incremental cost of factoring receivables for all regions was $2 million in the three months and $6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $1 million in the three months and $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and was recorded in net revenue. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $589$38 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and $401$101 million as of September 30, 2015.

Accounting Calendar Change:

In connection with moving toward a common consolidation date across the Company,December 31, 2016. The incremental cost of these arrangements was recorded in the first quarter of 2015, we changed the consolidation date for our North America segment from the last Saturday of each period to the last calendar day of each period. The change had a favorable impact of $19net revenue and was less than $1 million on net revenues and $9 million on operating income in the three months and $57$1 million on net revenues and $27 million on operating income in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015. As a result of this change, each of our operating subsidiaries now reports results as of2017 and was $2 million in the last calendar day ofthree months and $3 million in the period.six months ended June 30, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2016,May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to clarify when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The ASU is applied prospectively to awards that are modified on or after the adoption date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening the period to the earliest call date instead of the maturity date. The standard does not impact securities held at a discount as the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The standard requires employers to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and disclose the amount and location where the net benefit cost is recorded in the income statement or capitalized in assets. The standard is to be applied on a retrospective basis for the change in presentation in the income statement and prospectively for the change in presentation on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business may affect many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. The ASU is applied on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We continue to assess the ASU based on any pending or new transactions that may arise prior to the January 1, 2018 adoption date. At this time, we do not anticipate early adopting nor a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that requires the change in restricted cash or cash equivalents to be included with other changes in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate adopting this standard at the same time as the cash flow statement classification changes described below go into effect on January 1, 2018. We continue to assess the impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that requires the recognition of tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory when the transfer occurs and removes the exception to postpone recognition until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The standard is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate adopting on January 1, 2018 and do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to provide guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues and reduce diversity in practice in how some cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessinganticipate adopting this standard on January 1, 2018. We continue to assess the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for stock-based compensation. The ASU addresses several areasstatement of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and cash flow statement presentation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We anticipate the impact of adopting the standard on January 1, 2017 will be greater volatility in our condensed consolidated income statement in subsequent reporting periods. We will begin recording certain stock-based compensation tax impacts in our provision for income taxes prospectively which, under current guidance, are recorded directly to equity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that simplifies the transition accounting for increases in investments that require a change from the cost basis to the equity method of accounting. U.S. GAAP currently requires the impact of such changes in accounting method to be retroactively applied to all prior periods that the investment was held. Under the new standard, adjustments to the investor’s basis in the investment should be recorded on the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The equity method of accounting is then applied prospectively from that date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We plan to adopt when the ASU becomes effective or earlier if an in-scope transaction arises.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies whether contingent put and call options meet the “clearly and closely related” criteria in connection with accounting for embedded derivatives. U.S GAAP requires that embedded derivatives be separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as derivatives if certain criteria are met. The criteria include determining that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not “clearly and closely related” to those of the host contract. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the new standard as of December 31, 2016 and do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that applies when there is a contract novation to a new counterparty for a derivative designated as an accounting hedge. The ASU clarifies that such a change in counterparty does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of the hedging relationship, provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the new standard as of December 31, 2016 and do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on lease accounting. The ASU revises existing U.S. GAAP and outlines a new model for lessors and lessees to use in accounting for lease contracts. The guidance requires lessees to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. In the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, lessees will classify leases as either operating (resulting in straight-line expense) or financing (resulting in a front-loaded expense pattern). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessinganticipate adopting the new standard on January 1, 2019. We continue to make progress in our due diligence and assess the impact of the new standard across our operations and on our condensed consolidated financial statements.statements, which will consist primarily of recording lease assets and liabilities on our balance sheet for our operating leases.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that provides updated guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The standard requires that equity investments (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard also impacts financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The new ASU outlines a new, single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control over promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from customer contracts, including significant judgments made in recognizing revenue. In 2016 and early 2017, the FASB issued several ASUs that clarified principal versus agent (gross versus net) revenue presentation considerations, confirmed the accounting for certain prepaid stored-value products should be accounted for under the new revenue recognition ASU and not under other U.S. GAAP and clarified the guidance for identifying performance obligations within a contract, and the accounting for licenses.licenses and partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The FASB also issued an ASUtwo ASUs providing technical corrections, narrow scope exceptions and practical expedients to clarify and improve the implementation of the new revenue recognition guidance. Early adoptionThe revenue guidance is permitted as of the original effective date which was for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.2017, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date (annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The ASU may be applied retrospectively to historical periods presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We continueplan to make progress on our efforts to assess the impact of the ASU across our operations and on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We anticipate adoptingadopt the new standard on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis. We are

finalizing reviews and working on implementing the process, policy and disclosure changes that will go into effect on January 1, 2018. At this time, we do not expect a material financial impact from adopting the new revenue standards.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. In connection with the October 1, 2016 segment change described above, see Notes 5,Goodwill and Intangible Assets; 6,2014-2018 Restructuring Program;and 15,Segment Reporting for information on related changes made to prior-period segment goodwill, net revenues and earnings aligned with the new segment structure. We also reclassified certain amounts previously reported within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings and Note 12,Reclassifications from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to be consistent with the current-year presentation.

Note 2.   Divestitures and Acquisitions

JDE Coffee Business Transactions:

On July 2, 2015, we completed transactions to combine our wholly owned coffee businesses with those of D.E Master Blenders 1753 B.V. (“DEMB”) to create a new company, JDE.Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”). Following the exchange of a portion of our investment in JDE for an interest in Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”) in March 2016, we held a 26.5% equity interest in JDE. (See discussion underKeurig Transactionbelow.) The remaining 73.5% equity interest in JDE was held by a subsidiary of Acorn Holdings B.V. (“AHBV,” owner of DEMB prior to July 2, 2015). Please see discussion of the acquisition of an interest in Keurig below underKeurig Transaction. As of September 30, 2016, we hold a 26.4% equity interest in JDE followingFollowing the transactions discussed underJDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangementsbelow.

The consideration we received in the JDE coffee business transactions completed on July 2, 2015 consisted of€3.8 billion of cash ($4.2 billionbelow, as of July 2, 2015),June 30, 2017, we hold a 43.5% equity26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.2% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. We recorded $19 million of JDE (prior toequity earnings for three months and $38 million for the decrease in ownership due tosix months ended June 30, 2017 and $45 million for the Keurig transactionthree months and $92 million for the compensation arrangements discussed below)and $794 million in receivables (related to sales price adjustments and tax formation cost payments). During the third quarter of 2015, wesix months ended June 30, 2016. We also recorded $283$49 million of cash and receivables from JDE related to reimbursement of costs that we incurred in separating our coffee businesses. The cash and equity consideration wedividends received at closing reflects that we retained our interest in a Korea-based joint venture, DSF. During the second quarter of 2015, we also completed the sale of our interest in a Japanese coffee joint venture, Ajinomoto General Foods, Inc. (“AGF”). In lieu of contributing our interest in the AGF joint venture to JDE, we contributed the net cash proceeds from this sale as part of the overall JDE coffee business transactions. Please see discussion of the divestiture of AGF below underOther Divestitures and Acquisitions.

On July 5, 2016, we received an expected cash payment of $275 million from JDE to settle the receivable related to tax formation costs that were part of the initial sales price.

In connection with the contribution of our global coffee businesses to JDE on July 2, 2015, we recorded a final pre-tax gain of $6.8 billion (or $6.6 billion after taxes) in 2015 after final adjustments as described below. We also recorded approximately $1.0 billion of pre-tax net gains related to hedging the expected cash proceeds from the transactions as described further below. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we and JDE concluded negotiations of a sales price adjustment and completed the valuation of our investment in JDE. Primarily due to the negotiated resolution of the sales price adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a $313 million reduction in the pre-tax gain on the coffee transaction, reducing the $7.1 billion estimated gain in the third quarter of 2015 to the $6.8 billion final gain for 2015. As part of our sales price negotiations, we retained the right to collect future cash payments if certain estimated pension liabilities are realized over an agreed amount in the future. As such, we may recognize additional income related to this negotiated term in the future.

The final value of our investment in JDE on July 2, 2015 was€4.1 billion ($4.5 billion as of July 2, 2015). The fair value of the JDE investment was determined using both income-based and market-based valuation techniques. The discounted cash flow analysis reflected growth, discount and tax rates and other assumptions reflecting the underlying combined businesses and countries in which the combined coffee businesses operate. The fair value of the JDE investment also included the fair values of theCarte Noire andMerrild businesses, which JDE agreed to divest to comply with the conditioned approval by the European Commission related to the JDE coffee business transactions. As of the end ofduring the first quarter of 2016, these businesses were sold by JDE. As the July 2, 2015 fair values for these businesses were recorded by JDE at their pending sales values, we did not record any gain or loss on the sales of these businesses in our share of JDE’s earnings.

In connection with the expected receipt of cash in euros at the time of closing, we entered into a number of consecutive currency exchange forward contracts in 2014 and 2015 to lock in an equivalent expected value in U.S. dollars as of the date the JDE coffee business transactions were first announced in May 2014. Cumulatively, we realized aggregate net gains and received cash of approximately $1.0 billion on these hedging contracts that increased the cash we received in connection with the JDE coffee business transactions from $4.2 billion in cash consideration received to $5.2 billion. In connection with these currency contracts, we recognized net gains of $29 million in the three months and $436 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 within interest and other expense, net.

We also incurred incremental expenses related to readying our global coffee businesses for the transactions that totaled $54 million in the three months and $239 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These expenses were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses of primarily our Europe segment, as well as within our Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EEMEA”) segment and general corporate expenses.

JDE Capital Increase:

On December 18, 2015, AHBV and we agreed to provide JDE additional capital to pay down some of its debt with lenders. Our pro rata share of the capital increase was€499 million ($544 million as of December 18, 2015) and was made in return for a pro rata number of additional shares in JDE such that our ownership in JDE did not change following the capital increase. To fund our share of the capital increase, we contributed€460 million ($501 million) of JDE receivables and made a€39 million ($43 million) cash payment.2017.

JDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements:

At the close ofOn June 30, 2016, we entered into agreements with AHBV and its affiliates to establish a new stock-based compensation arrangement tied to the issuance of JDE equity compensation awards to JDE employees. This arrangement replaced a temporary equity compensation program tied to the issuance of AHBV equity compensation to JDE employees. New Class C, D and E JDE shares were authorized and issued for investments made by, and vested stock-based compensation awards granted to, JDE employees. Under these arrangements, share ownership dilution offrom the JDE sharesClass C, D and E shareholders is limited to 2%. We retained our 26.5% voting rights and have a slightly lower portion of JDE’s profits and dividends than our shareholder ownership interest as certain employee shareholders receive a slightly larger share. Upon execution of the agreements and the creation of the Class C, D and E JDE shares, as a percentage of the total JDE issued shares, our Class B shares changeddecreased from 26.5% to 26.4% and AHBV’s Class A shares changeddecreased from 73.5% to 73.22%, while the Class C, D and E shares, held by AHBV and its affiliates until the JDE employee awards vest, comprised 0.38% of JDE’s shares. Additional Class C shares are available to be issued when planned long-term incentive plan (“JDE LTIP”) awards vest, generally over the next five years. When the JDE Class C shares are issued in connection with the vested JDE LTIP awards, the Class A and B relative ownership interests will decrease. Based on estimated achievement and forfeiture assumptions, we do not expect our JDE ownership interest to decrease below 26.27%. As of September 30, 2016, our ownership interest in JDE was 26.4%.

JDE Tax Matter Resolution:

On July 19, 2016, the Supreme Court of Spain reached a final resolution on a challenged JDE tax position held by a predecessor DEMB company that resulted in an unfavorable tax expense of€114 million ($128 million as of September 30, 2016). As a result, our earnings in the third quarter of 2016 were negatively affected by€30 million ($34 million as of September 30, 2016).

Keurig Transaction:

On March 3, 2016, a subsidiary of AHBV completed thea $13.9 billion acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Keurig through a merger transaction. On March 7, 2016, we exchanged with a subsidiary of AHBV a portion of our equity interest in JDE with a carrying value of€1.7 billion (approximately $2.0 billion as of March 7, 2016) for an interest in Keurig with a fair value of $2.0 billion based on the merger consideration per share for Keurig. We recorded the difference between the fair value of Keurig and our basis in JDE shares as a $43 million gain on the equity method investment exchange in March 2016. FollowingImmediately following the exchange, our ownership interest in JDE was 26.5% and our interest in Keurig was 24.2%. Both AHBV and we hold our investments in Keurig through a combination of equity and interests in a shareholder loan, withpro-rata ownership of each. Our initial $2.0 billion investment in Keurig includes a $1.6 billion Keurig equity interest and a $0.4 billion shareholder loan receivable, which are reported on a combined basis within equity method investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The shareholder loan has a 5.5% interest rate and is payable at the end of a seven-year term on February 27, 2023. We recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and dividends of $10$15 million, for$6 million and $2 million during the three months and $39$29 million, for$12 million and $6 million during the sevensix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. In 2016, and interest income from thewe recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and dividends of $21 million, $6 million forand no dividends during the three months and $14$29 million, for$8 million and $2 million during the sevenfour months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 within equity method earnings. Additionally, we received $2 million in the three months ended and $4 million in the seven months ended September 30, 2016 of dividends on our investment in Keurig. We continue to account for our investments in JDE and Keurig under the equity method and recognize our share of their earnings within equity method investment earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows. As of September 30, 2016, Keurig is working to finalize the acquisition purchase price allocation.2016.

Coffee Business Equity Earnings:

We have reflected the results of our historical coffee businesses and equity earnings from JDE, Keurig and DSF in our results from continuing operations as the coffee category continues to be a significant part of our net earnings and business strategy going forward. Historically, our coffee businesses and the income from equity method investments were recorded within our operating income as these businesses were part of our base business. While we retain an ongoing interest in coffee through equity method investments including JDE, Keurig and DSF, and we have significant influence with our equity method investments, we do not control these operations directly. As such, in the third quarter of 2015, we began to recognize equity method investment earnings, consisting primarily of investments in coffee businesses, outside of operating income. For periods prior to the third quarter of 2015, our historical coffee business and equity method investment earnings were included within our operating income.

The equity method investment earnings and interest income contributed by our coffee investments included losses of $3 million from JDE, earnings of $16 million from Keurig and $11 million from DSF for the three months and earnings of $89 million from JDE, $53 million from Keurig (since March 7, 2016) and $56 million from DSF for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the equity method investment losses contributed by our coffee investments included $105 million from JDE and the equity method investment earnings contributed by our coffee investments included $20 million from DSF. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, after-tax earnings were $296 million for the coffee businesses we contributed to JDE on July 2, 2015 and $40 million for DSF.
