Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation


Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2017.


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 2015 fiscal year, we deconsolidated and changed to the cost method of accounting forfully impaired our investment in our Venezuelan operations. As such, for all periods presented, we have excluded the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of our Venezuelan subsidiaries from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Change:

On October 1, 2016, We account for investments over which we integrated our Eastern Europe, Middle East,exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments over which we do not have significant influence or control are not material and Africa (“EEMEA”) operating segment into our Europe and Asia Pacific operating segments to further leverage and optimizeare carried at cost as there is no readily determinable fair value for 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 Asia, Middle East and Africa (“AMEA”) operating segment. We have reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in all periods presented.

As of October 1, 2016, our operations and management structure were organized into four reportable operating segments:

Latin Americaequity interests.
AMEA
Europe
North America

See Note 15,Segment Reporting, for additional information on 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 and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.


Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. As of June 30, 2017,2018, none of our consolidated subsidiaries were subject to highly inflationary accounting.

Argentina. We continue As discussed below, beginning on July 1, 2018, we expect to closely monitor inflation and the potential for the economy to becomeapply highly inflationary accounting for accounting purposes. As ofour operations in Argentina.


Argentina. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017,2018, primarily based on published estimates which indicate that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate has exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina has become a highly inflationary economy. Beginning July 1, 2018, we expect to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries. We will change the functional currency from the Argentinian economy was not designatedpeso to the U.S. dollar. Local currency monetary assets and liabilities will be remeasured into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as highly inflationary. At this time, we continue to record currency translationof the latest balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments within equity and realized exchangeother transaction gains and losses on transactionsrecognized in net earnings. Our Argentinian operations contributed $159$267 million, or 2.7% of consolidated net revenues in the three months and $301 million, or 2.4%2.1% of consolidated net revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018. Based on a review of our Argentinian peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, our Argentinian operations had aan immaterial net monetary liability position as of June 30, 2017.

Ukraine. In the second quarter of 2017, based on projected inflation data published by the National 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 designated highly inflationary and we continue to 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.

2018.


Other Countries.Since we sell in approximately 165160 countries and have operations in over 80 countries, we 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 includeuncertainty and exchange rate volatility, including Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, United Kingdom (Brexit), Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa most of which have had exchange rate volatility.and Pakistan. We continue to monitor operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in these countries. At this time, we do not anticipate athat these countries are at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries.

Revenue Recognition:
We predominantly sell food and beverage products across several product categories and in all regions as detailed in Note 16, Segment Reporting. We recognize revenue when control over the products transfers to our operating resultscustomers, which generally occurs upon delivery or shipment of the products. A small percentage of our net revenues relates to the licensing of our intellectual property, predominantly brand and trade names, and we record these revenues when earned within the period of the license term. We account for product shipping, handling and insurance as fulfillment activities with revenues for these activities recorded within net revenue and costs recorded within cost of sales. Any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from changing to highly inflationary accountingnet revenues.

Revenues are recorded net of trade and sales incentives and estimated product returns. Known or expected pricing or revenue adjustments, such as trade discounts, rebates or returns, are estimated at the time of sale. We base these estimates of expected amounts principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. Estimates that affect revenue, such as trade incentives and product returns, are monitored and adjusted each period until the incentives or product returns are realized.

Key sales terms, such as pricing and quantities ordered, are established on a frequent basis such that most customer arrangements and related incentives have a one year or shorter duration. As such, we do not capitalize contract inception costs and we capitalize product fulfillment costs in these countries.

accordance with U.S. GAAP and our inventory policies. We generally do not have any unbilled receivables at the end of a period. Deferred revenues are not material and primarily include customer advance payments typically collected a few days before product delivery, at which time deferred revenues are reclassified and recorded as net revenues. We generally do not receive noncash consideration for the sale of goods nor do we grant payment financing terms greater than one year.


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 anon-recourse factoring arrangement with a major global bank for a maximum combined capacity of $1.0 billion. Under the program,arrangements in which we may sell eligible short-term trade receivables primarily to the bankbanks in exchange for cash. We may then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the bank. The 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 work with our customers to achieve earlier collection of receivables.banks. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $38$719 million as of June 30, 20172018 and $101$843 million as of December 31, 2016.2017. The incremental cost of these arrangementsfactoring receivables under this arrangement was recordednot material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in net revenue and was less than $1 millioncash from operating activities in the three months and $1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and was $2 million in the three months and $3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2017,June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”("ASU") that requires entities to clarify when changes to the terms or conditions of arecord share-based payment award must be accountedtransactions for as modifications.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities heldservices from non-employees 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.

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 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 anticipate adopting the new standard on January 1, 2019. We continue to make progress in our due diligencedata collection and assessevaluation of our leasing arrangements, practical expedients, accounting policy elections and implementing our lease accounting system. We completed the impactinitial design of changes to our business processes to meet the new standard across our operationslease accounting and on our consolidated financial statements, which will consist primarily of recording leasedisclosure requirements. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected increase in 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 expectedWe adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

statements upon adoption.


In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The 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 and clarified the guidance for identifying performance obligations within a contract, the accounting for licenses and partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The FASB also issued two ASUs providing technical corrections, narrow scope exceptions and practical expedients to clarify and improve the implementation of the new revenue recognition guidance. The revenue guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 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.2017. We plan to adoptadopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis. We are

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. In connection withOn January 1, 2018, we adopted an ASU that changed the October 1, 2016 segment change described above, see Notes 5,Goodwillpresentation of net periodic pension and Intangible Assets; 6,2014-2018 Restructuring Program;and 15,Segment Reporting for informationpostretirement costs on related changes made to prior-period segment goodwill, net revenues and earnings aligned with the new segment structure.

As a result of comprehensive earningsthis adoption, we disaggregated the components of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs and moved components other than service costs to a new line item, benefit plan non-service income, located below operating income. Prior-period cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and asset impairment and exit costs as well as segment operating income results were updated to reflect the reclassification. All components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs are summarized in 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,June 7, 2018, we acquired a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, within our North America segment and extended our premium biscuit offerings. We paid $528 million, net of cash received, and we expect to finalize the purchase price paid later this year once final working capital adjustments are confirmed. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. We are working to complete the valuation work and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $40 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $170 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $337 million to goodwill, $14 million to property, plant and equipment, $5 million to inventory, $9 million to accounts receivable, $6 million to current liabilities and $41 million to deferred tax liabilities.

On December 28, 2017, 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, Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”). Following the exchangesale of a portionconfectionery business in Japan. We received cash proceeds of ¥2.8 billion ($24 million as of December 28, 2017) and recorded an immaterial pre-tax loss on the divestiture within our AMEA segment.

Table of Contents


On October 2, 2017, we completed the sale of one 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 subsidiarymethod investments and received cash proceeds of Acorn Holdings B.V. (“AHBV,” owner of DEMB prior to July 2, 2015). Following the transactions discussed underJDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangementsbelow, as of June 30, 2017, we hold a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.2% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE.$65 million. We recorded $19a pre-tax gain of $40 million within the gain on equity method investment transactions and $15 million of JDE equity earnings for three monthstax expense.

In connection with the 2012 spin-off of Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (now a part of The Kraft Heinz Company (“KHC”)), Kraft Foods Group and $38 million forwe each granted the six months ended June 30,other various licenses to use certain trademarks in connection with particular product categories in specified jurisdictions. On August 17, 2017, and $45 million for the three months and $92 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We also recorded $49 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2017.

JDE Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements:

On June 30, 2016, we entered into two agreements with AHBVKHC to terminate the licenses of certain KHC-owned brands used in our grocery business within our Europe region and its affiliates to establish a new stock-based compensation arrangement tiedtransfer to KHC inventory and certain other assets. On August 17, 2017, the issuancefirst transaction closed and we received cash proceeds 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 from the JDE Class 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 decreased from 26.5% to 26.4% and AHBV’s Class A shares decreased 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%.

Keurig Transaction:

On March 3, 2016, a subsidiary of AHBV completed a $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 of1.7 billion (approximately $2.0 billion€9 million ($11 million as of March 7, 2016) for an interest in Keurig with a fair valueAugust 17, 2017) and on October 23, 2017, the second transaction closed and we received cash proceeds of $2.0 billion based on the merger consideration per share for Keurig. We recorded the difference between the fair value€2 million ($3 million as of Keurig and our basis in JDE shares as a $43 millionOctober 23, 2017). The gain on the equity method investment exchange in March 2016. Immediately following the exchange, our ownership interest in JDEboth transactions combined 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 June 30, 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 $15 million, $6 million and $2 million during the three months and $29 million, $12 million and $6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. In 2016, we recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and dividends of $21 million, $6 million and no dividends during the three months and $29 million, $8 million and $2 million during the four months ended June 30, 2016.

Other Divestitures and Acquisitions:

immaterial.


On July 4, 2017, we completed the sale of most of our grocery business in Australia and New Zealand to Bega Cheese Limited for $456 million Australian dollars ($347 million as of July 4, 2017) and we expect to make a final working capital adjustment next quarter.. We divested approximately $25$27 million of current assets, approximately $135 million ofnon-current assets and approximately $5$4 million of current liabilities based on the July 4, 2017 exchange rate.

We recorded a pre-tax gain of $247 million Australian dollars ($187 million as of July 4, 2017) on the sale. During the third and fourth quarters of 2017, we also recorded divestiture-related costs of $2 million and a foreign currency hedge loss of $3 million. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a final $3 million inventory-related working capital adjustment, increasing the pre-tax gain to $190 million in 2017.


On April 28, 2017, we completed the sale of several manufacturing facilities in France and the sale or license of several local confectionery brands. We received net cash of approximately157 €157 million ($169 million as of April 28, 2017) at the transaction date, for proceeds, net of cash indivested with the businesses which transferred to the buyer. Sales price adjustments related to employee-related liabilities and working capital transferred at closing will be settled in the remainder of 2017. The sale was subject to E.U. and local regulatory approvals, completion of employee consultation requirements and additional steps to prepare the assets for transfer. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the buyer obtained anti-trust clearance in all markets where it was required and we received the Works Council approval.businesses. On April 28, 2017, we divested $44 million of current assets, $155 million ofnon-current assets, $8 million of current liabilities and $22 million ofnon-current liabilities based on the April 28, 2017euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate. We recorded a $3 million loss on the sale duringDuring the three months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018, we reversed $3 million of accrued expenses no longer required. We also incurred divestiture-related costs of $3 million in the three months and $21 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, and $842017. We recorded a $3 million forloss on the sale during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. These2017. Divestiture-related costs were recorded within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses ofprimarily within our Europe segment. In prior periods, we recorded a $5 million impairment charge in May 2016 for a candy trademark to reduce the overall net assets to the estimated net sales proceeds after transaction costs. On March 31, 2016, we recorded a $14 million impairment charge for another gum & candy trademark as a portion of its carrying value would not be recoverable based on future cash flows expected under a planned license agreement with the buyer.

On November 2, 2016, we purchased from Burton’s Biscuit Company certain intangibles, which include the license to manufacture, market and sell Cadbury-branded biscuits in additional key markets around the world, including in the U.K., France, Ireland, North America and Saudi Arabia. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Total cash paid for the acquired assets was £199 million ($245 million as of November 2, 2016). We have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $72 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $155 million to goodwill, $14 million to property, plant and equipment and $4 million to inventory, reflecting a November 2, 2016 exchange rate.

On May 2, 2016, we completed the sale of certain local biscuit brands in Finland as part of our strategic decisions to exit select small and local brands and shift investment towards our Power Brands. The sales price was


14 million ($16 million as of May 2, 2016) and we divested $8 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets and less than $1 million of other assets. We received cash proceeds of12 million ($14 million as of May 2, 2016) upon closing and another2 million ($2 million as of October 31, 2016) following the completion of post-closing requirements. The additional $2 million of consideration increased thepre-tax gain of $6 million recorded in the second quarter of 2016 to a total 2016pre-tax gain of $8 million.

Sales of Property:

In the second quarter of 2016, we sold property within our North America segment and from our centrally held corporate assets. The North America sale generated cash proceeds of $40 million and apre-tax gain of $33 million. The corporate aircraft sale generated cash proceeds of $20 million and apre-tax gain of $6 million. The gains were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses and cash proceeds were recorded in cash flows from other investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses andnon-compete agreements. agreements. At June 30, 2017, the weighted-average life of our amortizable intangible assets was 13.6 years.


Amortization expense for intangible assets was $44 million in each of the three months and $88 million in each of the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and June 30, 2016.2017. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $175 million for the next fourthree years and approximately $85 million in yearyears four and five reflecting(reflecting June 30, 20172018 exchange rates.

Changes to goodwill and intangibles were:

Divestiture – During the second quarter of 2017, we divested several manufacturing facilities primarily in France and as a result of the divestiture, $23 million of goodwill and $62 million of amortizable and
non-amortizable intangible assets. See Note 2,Divestitures and Acquisitions, for additional information.
Acquisition – During the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a $12 million adjustment to goodwill in connection with our preliminary purchase price allocation for the Burton’s Biscuit Company purchase completed in the fourth quarter of 2016. See Note 2,Divestitures and Acquisitions, for additional information.
Asset impairment – During the second quarter of 2017,2018, in connection with the acquisition of Tate's Bake Shop, we recorded a $38preliminary purchase price allocation of $337 million to goodwill and $210 million to intangible asset impairment charge resulting from a category declineassets. See Note 2, Divestitures and lower than expected product growth related to a gum trademark in our North America segment.Acquisitions, for additional information.


During our 20162017 annual testing ofnon-amortizable intangible assets, we recorded $98$70 million of impairment charges in the fourththird quarter of 20162017 related to five trademarks recorded across all regions. We also noted nineDuring that annual review, we identified thirteen brands, including the five impaired trademarks, with $630$938 million of aggregate book value as of December 31, 2016June 30, 2018 that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. We believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to continue to not be impaired, but if the product line expectations are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, then a brand or brands could become impaired in the future.


Note 6. Equity Method Investments

Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $6,223 million as of June 30, 2018 and $6,345 million as of December 31, 2017. Our largest investments are in Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”) and Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”).

JDE:
As of June 30, 2018, we held a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.3% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. We recorded JDE equity earnings of $42 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $19 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $88 million in the first six months of 2018 and $38 million in the first six months of 2017. We also recorded $73 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2018 and $49 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2017.


Table of Contents

Keurig:
As of June 30, 2018, we held a 24.2% ownership interest in Keurig. We recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $20 million, $6 million and $2 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $15 million, $6 million and $2 millionin the second quarter of 2017. We recorded Keurig equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $36 million, $12 million and $5 million in the first six months of 2018 and $29 million, $12 million and $6 million in the first six months of 2017.

Keurig Dr Pepper Transaction:
On July 9, 2018, Keurig closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("Keurig Dr Pepper", NYSE: “KDP”). Following the close of the merger, our ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper was 13.8%. In our third quarter 2018, we expect to record a gain related to the conversion of our investment in Keurig (including our shareholder loan receivable) into an investment in Keurig Dr Pepper. As we will continue to have significant influence, we will continue to account for our investment in Keurig Dr Pepper under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows. We have nominated two directors to the board of Keurig Dr Pepper and will have certain additional governance rights. In our future filings, we will recast our financial statements and reflect our share of Keurig’s historical results and Keurig Dr Pepper’s ongoing results on a quarter lag basis. A lag will allow us to record our share of Keurig Dr Pepper’s results timely after they have publicly reported their results and to facilitate comparisons of our operating results across all reported periods.

Note 7. 2014-2018 Restructuring Program


On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion restructuring program and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $600 million reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so that now the $5.7 billion program consists of approximately $4.1 billion of restructuring program costs ($3.1 billion cash costs and $1 billionnon-cash costs) and up to $1.6 billion of capital expenditures. The primary objective of the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program is intended primarily to cover severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing-relatedone-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and related implementation charges of $2.9$3.6 billion related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. We expect to incur the full $4.1 billion of program charges by year-end 2018.

Restructuring Costs:

We recorded restructuring charges of $148$112 million in the threesecond quarter of 2018 and $148 millionin the second quarter of 2017 and $164 millionin the first six months of 2018 and $305 million in the first six months ended June 30,of 2017 and $154 million in the three months and $293 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 within asset impairment and exit costs.costs or benefit plan non-service income.

Table of Contents

Implementation Costs:

Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $63$70 million in the threesecond quarter of 2018 and $63 millionin the second quarter of 2017 and $132 millionin the first six months of 2018 and $117 million in the first six months ended June 30, 2017 and $74 million in the three months and $172 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.of 2017. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

(2)Includes adjustmentDuring the first quarter of 2018, in connection with adopting a new pension cost classification accounting standard, we reclassified certain of our benefit plan component costs other than service costs out of operating income into a new line, benefit plan non-service income, on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As such, we have recast our historical operating income, segment operating income and restructuring and implementation costs by segment to reflect this reclassification, which had no impact to earnings before income taxes or net earnings. The benefit plan non-service income amounts no longer recorded in segment operating income are included within the Corporate column in the table above. The Corporate column also includes minor adjustments for rounding.

Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $2.2$1.8 billion at June 30, 20172018 and $1.8$2.0 billion at December 31, 2016.2017. Borrowings on these lines were $594$174 million at June 30, 20172018 and $160$107 million at December 31, 2016. Short-term bank loans2017.

Borrowing Arrangements:
On April 2, 2018, in connection with the tender offer described below, we entered into a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that is scheduled to expire on April 1, 2019. The agreement includes the same terms and cash and cash equivalents increased at the end of the second quarterconditions as scheduled cash sweeps, which normally transfer cash between accountsour existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. On April 17, 2018, we borrowed $714 million on this facility to fund obligations, did not occur. As a result, temporary bank overdrafts resulted in the accounts scheduleddebt tender described below and availability under the facility was reduced to be fundedmatch the borrowed amount. On May 7, 2018, we repaid the $714 million from the net proceeds received from the May 2018 $2.5 billion long-term debt issuance and were recorded within short-term bank loans and funded in early July.

On March 1, 2017,February 28, 2018, to supplement our commercial paper program, we entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement for a364-day senior unsecured credit facility that is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2018.27, 2019. The agreement replaces our previous credit agreement that matured on February 28, 2018 and includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of June 30, 2017,2018, no amounts were drawn on the facility.


We also maintain a $4.5 billion multi-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. On October 14, 2016, the revolving credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on October 11, 2018, was extended through October 11, 2021. The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity of at least $24.6 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) and the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles. At June 30, 2017,2018, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders’ equity, as defined by the covenant, was $35.9$35.7 billion. The revolving credit facility agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. As of June 30, 2017,2018, no amounts were drawn on the facility.


Long-Term Debt:

On May 3, 2018, we issued $2.5 billion of U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate notes consisting of:
$750 million of 3.000% notes that mature in May 2020
$750 million of 3.625% notes that mature in May 2023
$700 million of 4.125% notes that mature in May 2028
$300 million of 4.625% notes that mature in May 2048
On May 7, 2018, we received net proceeds of $2.48 billion that were used to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement facility and for other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding commercial paper borrowings and other debt. We recorded approximately $22 million of discounts and deferred financing costs net of various fees associated for the bond transaction and underwriter fee reimbursement, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges. Our exchange-traded derivatives are generally subject to master netting arrangements that permit net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty when certain criteria are met, such as in the event of default. We also are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of our open positions, and the margin requirements generally fluctuate daily based on market conditions. WeIn connection with our exchange-traded derivatives, we have recorded margin deposits related to our exchange-traded derivativesrequirements of $270$25 million as of June 30, 20172018 within accounts payable and $133margin deposits of $171 million as of December 31, 20162017 within other current assets. Based on our net asset or liability positions with individual counterparties, in the event of default and immediate net settlement of all of our open positions, for derivatives we have in a net asset position, our counterparties would owe us a total of $95 million as of June 30, 2017 and $48 million as of December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, we have no derivatives in a net liability position, and as of December 31, 2016 we would have owed $2 million for derivatives we have in a net liability position.


Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily ofover-the-counter (“OTC”) currency exchange forwards, options and swaps; commodity forwards and options; and interest rate swaps. Our currency exchange contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Our OTC derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our commodity and currency exchange OTC derivativesderivative contracts do not have a legal right ofset-off. In connection with our OTC derivatives that could benet-settled in the event of default, assuming all parties were to fail to comply with the terms of the agreements, for derivatives we have in a net liability position, we would owe $257 million as of June 30, 2017 and $40 million as of December 31, 2016, and for derivatives we have in a net asset position, our counterparties would owe us a total of $30 million as of June 30, 2017 and $162 million as of December 31, 2016. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

We recognized a loss of $5 million in the three months and a gain of $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 in interest and other expense, net we recordedpre-tax losses of $97 million in the first quarter of 2016 related to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing. This amount relates tocertain forward-starting interest rate swaps no longer designated as cash flow hedges due to changes in financing plans. Due to lower overall costs and our decision to hedge a greater portionfor which the planned timing of our net investments in operations that use currencies other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currencies, we changed our plans to issue U.S. dollar-denominatedrelated forecasted debt and instead issued euro and Swiss franc-denominated notes in the first quarter of 2016. Amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all periods presented.

was changed.


We recordpre-tax andafter-tax (i) gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into earnings, (ii) gains or losses on ineffectiveness and (iii) gains or losses on amounts excluded from effectiveness testing in:

cost of sales for commodity contracts;
cost of sales for currency exchange contracts related to forecasted transactions;
cost of sales for commodity contracts; and
interest and other expense, net for interest rate contracts and currency exchange contracts related to intercompany loans.


Based on current market conditions, we would expect to transfer losses of $20 million (net of taxes) for commodity cash flow hedges, unrealized gains of $1 million (net of taxes) for currency cash flow hedges and unrealized losses ofless than $1 million (net of taxes) for interest rate cash flow hedges to earnings during the next 12 months.


Cash Flow Hedge Coverage:

As of June 30, 2017, we hedged transactions2018, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted to impact cash flowsinterest rate payments over the following periods:

commodity transactions for periods not exceeding the next 6 months;
interest rate transactions for periods not exceeding the next 65 years and 4 months; andmonths.
currency exchange transactions for periods not exceeding the next 6 months.

Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations:

Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forwards to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. The aggregate notional value as of June 30, 2018 was $7.1 billion. The after-tax gain on these net investment hedge contracts was recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and was $276 million for the three months and $265 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. There were no after-tax gains/(losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into net earnings in the three or six months ended June 30, 2018. We elected to record changes in the fair value of amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness in net earnings. Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness were $33 million for the three months and $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and were recorded as income in interest and other expense, net.

After-tax gains/(losses) related to hedges of net investments in international operations in the form of euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc and Swiss franc-denominatedCanadian dollar-denominated debt were recorded within the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and were:

Within settlement losses/(gains)losses and other expenses are losses of $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, that are related to our 2014-2018 Restructuring Program and are recorded within asset impairment and exit costs on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings.


Employer Contributions:

During the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, we contributed $9$5 million to our U.S. pension plans and $369$199 million to ournon-U.S. pension plans. Thenon-U.S. amount included anon-recurring $250plans, including $137 million contribution made in connection with a new funding agreement for a Company planto plans in the U.K.United Kingdom and Ireland. We make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local funding arrangements and statutory minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contributions are made to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability.


As of June 30, 2017,2018, over the remainder of 2018, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $4$34 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $86$102 million to ournon-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2017. plans. Our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.




Multiemployer Pension Plans:
In the United States, we contribute to multiemployer pension plans based on obligations arising from our collective bargaining agreements. The most individually significant multiemployer plan we participated in as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2018 was the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (the “Fund”). Our obligation to contribute to the Fund arose with respect to 8 collective bargaining agreements covering most of our employees represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union (“BCTGM”). All of those collective bargaining agreements expired in 2016.

During the second quarter of 2018, we implemented two aspects of our second revised last, best and final offer made to the BCTGM with respect to 7 of the 8 expired collective bargaining agreements. Implementation resulted in our withdrawing from the Fund with respect to those employees covered by the 7 collective bargaining agreements. In connection with that action, we estimated a partial withdrawal liability of $567 million and within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted liability and charge of $408 million, $305 million net of tax, which represents our best estimate of the partial withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We may receive an assessment in 2018 or later, and the ultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability in installments over a period of 20 years from the date of the assessment. We determined the net present value of the liability using a risk-free interest rate. We recorded the pre-tax non-cash charge in selling, general and administrative expense (and in other non-cash items, net in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows) and the liability in long-term other liabilities.

Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2017,2018, we had repurchased $10.8$13.0 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, we repurchased approximately 2527.6 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $44.61$41.65 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $1,109 million,$1.2 billion, all of which was paid during the period except for approximately $40 million settled in July 2017.period. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of June 30, 2017,2018, we have $1.7$5.5 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Legal Proceedings:

We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.


In February 2013 and March 2014, Cadbury India Limited (now known as Mondelez India Foods Private Limited), a subsidiary of Mondelēz International, and other parties received show cause notices from the Indian Central Excise Authority (the “Excise Authority”) calling upon the parties to demonstrate why the Excise Authority should not collect a total of 3.7 billion Indian rupees ($5855 million as of June 30, 2017)2018) of unpaid excise tax and an equivalent amount of penalties, as well as interest, related to production at the same Indian facility. We contested these demands for unpaid excise taxes, penalties and interest. On March 27, 2015, after several hearings, the Commissioner of the Excise Authority issued an order denying the excise exemption that we claimed for the Indian facility and confirming the Excise Authority’s demands for total taxes and penalties in the amount of 5.8 billion Indian rupees ($9085 million as of June 30, 2017)2018). We have appealed this order. In addition, the Excise Authority issued additional show cause notices in February 2015, and December 2015 and October 2017 on the same issue but covering the periods January to October 2014, and November 2014 to September 2015 and October 2015 to June 2017, respectively. These notices added a total of 2.44.9 billion Indian rupees ($3772 million as of June 30, 2017)2018) of unpaid excise taxes as well as penalties to be determined up to an amount equivalent to that claimed by the Excise Authority plus interest. With the implementation of the new Goods and interest.Services Tax in India in July 2017, we will not receive any further show cause notices for additional amounts on this issue. We believe that the decision to claim the excise tax benefit is valid and we are continuing to contest the show cause notices through the administrative and judicial process.

On April 2013, the staff of1, 2015, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”("CFTC") advised us and Kraft Foods Group that it was investigating activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to theSpin-Off of Kraft Foods Group. We cooperated with the staff in its investigation. On April 1, 2015, the CFTC filed a complaint against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “CFTC action”). following its investigation of activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the spin-off of Kraft Foods Group. The complaint alleges that Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global (1) manipulated or attempted to manipulate the wheat markets during the fall of 2011; (2) violated position limit levels for wheat futures and (3) engaged innon-competitive trades by trading both sides ofexchange-for-physical Chicago Board of Trade wheat contracts. The CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties of either triple the monetary gain for each violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (the “Act”) or $1 million for each violation of Section 6(c)(1), 6(c)(3) or 9(a)(2) of the Act and $140,000 for each additional violation of the Act, plus post-judgment interest; an order of permanent injunction prohibiting Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global from violating specified provisions of the Act; disgorgement of profits; and costs and fees. In December 2015, the court denied Mondelēz Global and Kraft Foods Group’s motion to dismiss the CFTC’s claims of market manipulation and attempted manipulation, and the parties are now in discovery. Additionally, several class action complaints were filed against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by investors in wheat futures and options on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated. The complaints make similar allegations as those made in the CFTC action and seek class action certification; an unspecified amount for damages, interest and unjust enrichment; costs and fees; and injunctive, declaratory and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the Northern District of Illinois. In June 2016, the court denied Mondelēz Global and Kraft Foods Group’s motion to dismiss, and the parties are now in discovery. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to bear any monetary penalties or other payments in connection with the CFTC action.

Third-Party Guarantees:

We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At June 30, 2017,2018, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.




Tax Matters:

We are a party to various tax matter proceedings incidental to our business. These proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could subject us to additional tax liabilities and could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial position.

A tax indemnification matter related to our 2007 acquisition of the LU biscuit business was closed during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The closure had no impact on net earnings, however, it did result in a $15 million tax benefit that was fully offset by an $11 million expense in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $4 million expense in interest and other expense, net.

As part of our 2010 Cadbury acquisition, we became the responsible party for tax matters under a February 2, 2006 dated Deed of Tax Covenant between the Cadbury Schweppes PLC and related entities (“Schweppes”) and Black Lion Beverages and related entities. The tax matters included an ongoing transfer pricing case with the Spanish tax authorities related to the Schweppes businesses Cadbury divested prior to our acquisition of Cadbury. During the first quarter of 2017, the Spanish Supreme Court decided the case in our favor. As a result of the final ruling, during the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a favorable earnings impact of $46 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $12 million in interest and other expense, net, for a totalpre-tax impact of $58 million due to thenon-cash reversal of Cadbury-related accrued liabilities related to this matter.

During We recorded a total of $4 million of income over the first quarterthird and fourth quarters of 2017 in connection with the Brazilian Supreme Court (the “Court”) ruled against the Brazilian tax authorities in a case related to the computationbank guarantee releases.

Note 13.14. Income Taxes


On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions, including a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 35% to 21%. In addition to the tax rate reduction, the legislation establishes new provisions that affect our 2018 results, including but not limited to, the creation of a new minimum tax called the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT); a new provision that taxes U.S. allocated expenses (e.g. interest and general administrative expenses) as well as currently taxes certain income from foreign operations (Global Intangible Low-Tax Income, or “GILTI”); a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; a new limitation on deductible interest expense; the repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction; and limitations on the deductibility of certain employee compensation.

Certain impacts of the new legislation would have generally required accounting to be completed in the period of enactment, however in response to the complexities of this new legislation, the SEC issued guidance to provide companies with relief. The SEC provided up to a one-year window for companies to finalize the accounting for the impacts of this new legislation and we anticipate finalizing our accounting during 2018. While our accounting for the enactment of the new U.S. tax legislation is not complete, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an additional $2 million discrete net tax benefit, consisting of an $8 million decrease in our transition tax liability that was partially offset by $6 million of costs from other provisional tax reform updates. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $87 million in discrete net tax costs primarily comprised of an increase to our transition tax liability of $86 million as a result of additional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities, new state legislation enacted during the period and further refinement of various components of the underlying calculations.

Based on current tax laws, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018, excluding discrete tax impacts, is 21.9%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions and the reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate, partially offset by unfavorable provisions within the new U.S. tax reform legislation. Our 2018 second quarter effective tax rate of 5.6% was favorably impacted by a discrete net tax benefit of $32 million. The discrete net tax benefit primarily consisted of $27 million benefit from the release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of 22.8% was unfavorably impacted by net tax expense of $14 million from discrete one-time events. The discrete net tax expense primarily consisted of $86 million of additional transition tax liability recognized as an adjustment to the prior provisional estimate, offset by $43 million benefit from the release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in various jurisdictions and a $22 million benefit related to pending Argentinean refund claims.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2017, isour estimated annual effective tax rate for 2017, excluding discrete tax impacts, was 25.8%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix ofpre-tax income in variousnon-U.S. tax jurisdictions, partially offset by an increase in domestic earnings as compared to the prior year.earnings. Our 2017 second quarter effective tax rate of 16.2% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits offrom $47 million fromof discreteone-time events. The discrete net tax benefits primarily consisted of a $46 million benefit from the release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of 19.2% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits of $83 million from discreteone-time events. The discrete net tax benefits primarily consisted of a $62 million benefit from the release of uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in various jurisdictions and a $16 million benefit relatedrelating to the U.S. domestic production activities deduction.

Note 15.16. Segment Reporting


We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy and various cheese & grocery products, as well as powdered beverage products. We manage our global business and report operating results through geographic units.

Our operations and management structure are organized into four reportable operating segments:

Latin America
AMEA
Europe
North America

On October 1, 2016, we integrated our 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 operating segment, while the remaining Middle East and African countries were combined within our Asia Pacific region to form the AMEA operating segment. We have reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in all periods presented.

We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise in our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.


We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), and amortization of intangibles, gains and losslosses on divestituredivestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. We exclude these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Furthermore, we centrally manage benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

(1)During the first quarter of 2018, in connection with adopting a new pension cost classification accounting standard, we reclassified certain of our benefit plan component costs other than service costs out of operating income into a new line item, benefit plan non-service income, on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As such, we have recast our historical operating income and segment operating income to reflect this reclassification, which had no impact to earnings before income taxes or net earnings.

Items impacting our segment operating results are discussed in Note 1,Basis of Presentation, Note 2,Divestitures and Acquisitions, Note 4,Property, Plant and Equipment,Note 5,Goodwill and Intangible Assets,Note 6,7, 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, and Note 11,12, Commitments and Contingencies. Also see Note 7,8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, and Note 8,9, Financial Instruments, for more information on our interest and other expense, net for each period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Description of the Company


We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy and various cheese & grocery products, as well as powdered beverage products. We have operations in more than 80 countries and sell our products in approximately 165160 countries.


We aim to deliver strong, profitable long-term growth by accelerating our core snacks business and expanding the reach of our Power Brands globally. LeveragingTo fuel investments in our Power Brands and our innovation platforms, we plan to innovate boldly and connect with our consumers wherever they are, including new markets around the world, using both traditionalglobal and digital channels. As consumer consumption patterns change to more accessible, frequent andbetter-for-you snacking, we are enhancing the goodness of many of our brands (including providing simpler and wholesome ingredient-focused snacks), expanding the well-being offerings in our portfolio and inspiring consumers to snack mindfully by providing clear and simple nutrition information. As shopping expands further online, we are also working to grow oure-commerce platform andon-line presence with consumers. To fuel these investments,reach, we have been working to optimize our cost structure. These efforts consist ofinclude reinventing our supply chain including addingoperations and upgrading to more efficient production lines, while reducing the complexity of our product offerings, ingredients and number of suppliers. We also continue to aggressively manage ourmanaging overhead costs. We have embraced and embeddedzero-based budgeting practices across the organization to identify potential areas of cost reductions and capture and sustain savings within our ongoing operating budgets. Through these actions, we’re leveraging our brands, platforms and capabilities to drive long-term value and return on investment for our shareholders.


U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions, including but not limited to a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as well as provisions that limit or eliminate various deductions or credits. The legislation also causes U.S. allocated expenses (e.g. interest and general administrative expenses) to be taxed and imposes a new tax on U.S. cross-border payments. Furthermore, the legislation includes a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and profits.

Certain impacts of the new legislation would have generally required accounting to be completed in the period of enactment, however in response to the complexities of this new legislation, the SEC issued guidance to provide companies with relief. The SEC provided up to a one-year window for companies to finalize the accounting for the impacts of this new legislation and we anticipate finalizing our accounting during 2018.

While our accounting for the enactment of the new U.S. tax legislation is not complete, we have recorded an additional $2 million discrete net tax benefit in the second quarter of 2018 consisting of an $8 million decrease in our transition tax liability that was partially offset by $6 million costs from other provisional tax reform updates. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018 is 21.9%, which includes the new provisions of the legislation that are effective for the 2018 tax year but excludes discrete tax items such as the updates to the transition tax liability and the impacts of audit settlements.

Multiemployer Pension Plan Partial Withdrawal

In the United States, we contribute to multiemployer pension plans based on obligations arising from our collective bargaining agreements. The most individually significant multiemployer plan we participated in as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2018 was the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (the “Fund”). Our obligation to contribute to the Fund arose with respect to 8 collective bargaining agreements covering most of our employees represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union (“BCTGM”). All of those collective bargaining agreements expired in 2016.

During the second quarter of 2018, we implemented two aspects of our second revised last, best and final offer made to the BCTGM with respect to 7 of the 8 expired collective bargaining agreements. Implementation resulted in our withdrawing from the Fund with respect to those employees covered by the 7 collective bargaining agreements. In connection with that action, we estimated a partial withdrawal liability of $567 million and within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted liability and charge of $408 million, $305 million net of tax, which represents our best estimate of the partial withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We may receive an assessment in 2018 or later, and the ultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability in installments over a period of 20 years from the date of the assessment. We determined the net present value of the liability using a risk-free interest rate. We recorded the pre-tax non-cash charge in selling, general and administrative expense (and in other non-cash items, net in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows) and the liability in long-term other liabilities.



2017 Malware Incident


On June 27, 2017, a global malware incident impacted our business. The malware affected a significant portion of our global Windows-based applications and our sales, distribution and financial networks across our business. Duringnetworks. In the last four days of the second quarter and earlyduring the third quarter of 2017, we executed business continuity and contingency plans to contain the impact, and minimize the damages from the malware and restore our systems. This allowed ussystems environment. To date, we have not found, nor do we expect to service customer needs and continue sales and production at a reduced capacity while progressing recovery activities. Based on the nature of the malware and its impact to our technology, we did not expect nor to date have we foundfind, any instances of Company or personal data released externally. Although we believe weWe have now largely contained the disruptionalso restored our main operating systems and restored a majority ofprocesses and enhanced our affected systems, we anticipate additional work during the second half of 2017 as we continue to recover and further enhance the security of our systems.

system security.


For the second quarter of 2017, we estimateestimated that the malware incident had a negative impact of 2.3% on our net revenue growth and 2.4% on our Organic Net Revenue growth. We also incurred incremental expenses of $7.1$7 million as a result of the incident. We expect to be able to recognizerecognized the majority of delayed second quarter shipments in our third quarter 2017 results, although we permanently lost some revenue. On a 2017 full-year basis, we estimated the loss of revenue had a negative impact of 0.4% on our net revenue and Organic Net Revenue growth. We continue to address the recovery of our systems in a couple of key markets and are also assessing longer-term investments that we will make to strengthen our IT environment against potential future disruptions. We expect to incur the majority ofincurred total incremental expenses related to the malware incident and recovery processof $84 million predominantly during the second half of 2017.

2017 as part of the recovery effort. The recovery from the incident was largely resolved by December 31, 2017 and we continued efforts to strengthen our security measures and further mitigate cybersecurity risks.


Summary of Results


Net revenues decreased 5.0%increased 2.1% to $6.0$6.1 billion in the second quarter of 20172018 and decreased 2.8%increased 3.8% to $12.4$12.9 billion in the first six months of 2018 as compared to the same periodperiods in the prior year. During the second quarter and first six months of 2017,2018, net revenue growthrevenues grew due to favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume/mix was adverselyin part due to the lapping of last year's malware incident. Net revenues also were positively affected by delayed shipments stemming from the malware incident and unfavorablefavorable currency translation as the U.S. dollar strengthenedweakened against mostseveral currencies in which we operate compared to exchange rates in the prior year. Net revenue growth was partially offset by the impact of several prior-year business divestitures, which reduced revenues in 2018 as compared to the prior year.

Organic Net Revenue, anon-GAAP financial measure on a constant currency basis, decreased 2.7% to $6.0 billion in the second quarter of 2017 and decreased 1.0% to $12.4 billion in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year after recasting all periods to exclude the operating results from divestitures and an acquisition. (Refer toNon-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section and Note 2,Divestitures and Acquisitions,for additional information). We use Organic Net Revenue as it provides improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying results (see the definition of Organic Net Revenue and our reconciliation with net revenues withinNon-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section).

Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International increased 10.3% to $0.32 in the second quarter of 2017 and increased 14.1% to $0.73 in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year. A number of significant items affected the comparability of our reported results, as further described in theDiscussion and Analysis of Historical Results appearing later in this section and in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted EPS, anon-GAAP financial measure, increased 11.6% to $0.48 in the second quarter of 2017 and increased 9.8% to $1.01 in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year after recasting all periods to exclude the operating results from divestitures and historicalmark-to-market impacts. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 18.6% to $0.51 in the second quarter of 2017 and increased 13.0% to $1.04 in the first six months of 2017. We use Adjusted EPS as it provides improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying results (see the definition of Adjusted EPS and our reconciliation with diluted EPS withinNon-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section).


Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 3.5% to $6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 2.9% to $12.5 billion in the first six months of 2018 as compared to same periods in the prior year. During the second quarter and first six months of 2018, Organic Net Revenue increased as a result of favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume/mix was in part due to the lapping of last year's malware incident. Refer to our Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results, including the Results of Operations by Reportable Segment for additional information. Organic Net Revenue is on a constant currency basis and excludes revenue from acquisitions and divestitures. We use Organic Net Revenue as it provides improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying operating results (see the definition of Organic Net Revenue and our reconciliation with net revenues within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section).

Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International decreased 31.3% to $0.22 in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 15.1% to $0.84 in the first six months of 2018 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The diluted EPS decline in the second quarter of 2018 was driven by the impact of pension participation changes and the loss on debt extinguishment, partially offset by favorable mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, operating gains and share repurchases. The diluted EPS increase during the first six months of 2018 was driven by favorable mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, operating gains and share repurchases partially offset by the impact from pension participation changes and the loss on debt extinguishment.

Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 16.7% to $0.56 in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 17.0% to $1.17 in the first six months of 2018 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 14.6% to $0.55 in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 12.0% to $1.12 in the first six months of of 2018 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. For the second quarter and first six months of 2018, operating gains and lower shares outstanding were significant drivers of the growth. Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures. We use these measures as they provide improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying results (see the definition of Adjusted EPS and our reconciliation with diluted EPS within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section).



Financial Outlook


We seek to achieve profitable, long-term growth and manage our business to attain this goal using our key operating metrics: Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS. We use thesenon-GAAP financial metrics and related computations, such as margins, internally to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near- and long-term operating and strategic decisions. As such, we believe these metrics are useful to investors as they provide supplemental information in addition to our U.S. GAAP financial results. We believe providing investors with the same financial information that we use internally ensures that investors have the same data to make comparisons of our historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and gain additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We believe ournon-GAAP financial measures should always be considered in relation to our GAAP results, and we have provided reconciliations between our GAAP andnon-GAAP financial measures inNon-GAAP Financial Measures, which appears later in this section.


In addition to monitoring our key operating metrics, we monitor developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives, similar to those we highlighted in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Weak category growth2017.
Market conditions. Snack categories grew in the second quarter of 2018 and volatility in the global currency and commodity markets continued.
Argentina, Brexit and currency markets continue. As noted above,volatility. During the malware incident resulted in a significant unfavorable impact to our second quarter 2017 revenueof 2018, primarily based on published estimates which indicate that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate has exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina has become a highly inflationary economy. Beginning July 1, 2018, we expect to be partially mitigatedapply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries. Our Argentinian operations contributed $267 million, or 2.1% of consolidated net revenues in the third quarter whensix months ended June 30, 2018. Based on a review of our Argentinian peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, our Argentinian operations had an immaterial net monetary liability position as of June 30, 2018. Having a net monetary liability position may mitigate our risk of unfavorable impacts from any further currency devaluations, however, the majoritymix of sales fromassets and liabilities or other factors could change, so it is difficult to predict the endoverall impact of the second quarter are shipped.highly inflationary accounting on net earnings. We also expect to incur the majority of incremental expenses related to the incident and recovery process during the second half of 2017. We continue to monitor the U.K. planned exit from the E.U.European Union (Brexit) and its impact on our results as well as currencies at risk of potential highly inflationary accounting, such asdevaluation.
Collective bargaining agreements. During the Argentinian pesosecond quarter of 2018, we implemented two aspects of our second revised last, best and final offer made to the BCTGM, resulting in our withdrawing from the Fund with respect to the employees covered by the 7 of the 8 collective bargaining agreements. We estimated a partial withdrawal liability of $567 million and within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted liability and charge of $408 million, $305 million net of tax, which represents our best estimate of the partial withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We may receive an assessment in 2018 or later, and the Ukrainian hryvnia. In Brazil, we are monitoringultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability in installments over a pendingperiod of 20 years from the assessment date.
U.S. tax matter thatreform. While the 2017 U.S. tax reform reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate and included some beneficial provisions, other provisions could have an adverse effect on our results. Specifically, new provisions that cause U.S. allocated expenses (e.g. interest and general administrative expenses) to be taxed and impose a significant favorabletax on U.S. cross-border payments could adversely impact our effective tax rate. We continue to evaluate the impacts as additional guidance on implementing the legislation becomes available.
Net investment hedge contracts. In 2018, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $7.1 billion to hedge our non-U.S. net investments against movements in exchange rates. We expect this hedging to reduce volatility in some of our financing costs and related currency impacts within our interest costs.
Keurig Dr Pepper transaction. On July 9, 2018, Keurig closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("Keurig Dr Pepper", NYSE: “KDP”). Following the close of the merger, our ownership in Keurig Dr Pepper was 13.8%. In our third quarter 2018, we expect to record a gain related to the conversion of our investment in Keurig (including our shareholder loan receivable) into an investment in Keurig Dr Pepper.

Net revenue increase of 3.8% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 2.9%, favorable currency and the impact of an acquisition, partially offset by the impact of divestitures. Our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by favorable volume/mix and higher net pricing. Favorable volume mix included the benefit from lapping last year's malware incident, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from the Brazil trucking strike. Favorable volume/mix was reflected in Europe, North America and AMEA, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in Latin America. Net pricing was up, which includes the benefit of carryover pricing from 2017 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during 2018. Higher net pricing was reflected in Latin America and AMEA, partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe. Favorable currency impacts increased net revenues by $363 million, due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling and Chinese yuan, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several other currencies, including the Argentinian peso and Brazilian real, Russian rublereal. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $7 million in the first six months of 2018. The impact of divestitures that occurred in 2017 resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $246 million. Refer to Note 2, Divestitures and South African rand.

During the first six months of 2018, we realized modestly higher net pricing, which was mostly offset by increased input costs. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2017 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during 2018, was driven by Latin America and AMEA, partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, primarily higher dairy, packaging, energy, oils and grain costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs due to productivity efforts. Favorable volume/mix was driven by Europe and North America, which was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in Latin America and AMEA.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $493 million from the first six months of 2017, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, the impact from pension participation changes, unfavorable currency impact, impacts from the resolution of tax matters, a prior-year property insurance recovery, acquisition-related costs and CEO transition remuneration. The increases were partially offset by lower divestiture-related costs, a value-added tax (“VAT”) related settlement in 2018 and lower implementation costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $39 million from the first six months of 2017. The decrease was driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs.

We recorded a benefit of $21 million from a VAT-related settlement in Latin America in the first six months of 2018. Favorable currency changes increased operating income by $79 million due primarily to the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound sterling and Chinese yuan, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Argentinian peso and Brazilian real.

Operating income margin increased from 10.1%11.8% in the second quarterfirst six months of 20162017 to 10.7%13.2% in the second quarterfirst six months of 2017.2018. The increase in operating income margin was driven primarily by the year-over-year favorable change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities, lower 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs, an increase in our Adjusted Operating Income margin, the absence of intangible asset impairment charges and lower divestiture-related costs, associated with the sale of a confectionery business in France, partially offset by the year-over-year unfavorableimpact from pension participation changes, a prior-year impact from the resolution of a tax matter and the impact of unrealized gains/(losses) on currency and commodity hedging activities and higher intangible asset impairment charges.prior-year divestitures. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 14.9%16.0% in the second quarterfirst six months of 20162017 to 15.8%16.7% in the second quarterfirst six months of 2017.2018. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income margin was driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and lower overheads from continued cost reduction efforts in both areas.

Net revenue decline of 2.8% was driven by unfavorable currency, our underlying Organic Net Revenue decline of 1.0% and the impact of divestitures, partially offset by the impact of an acquisition. Unfavorable year-over-year currency impacts decreased net revenues by $216 million, due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the British pound sterling, euro, Egyptian pound, Argentinian peso, Nigerian naira, Chinese yuan, Mexican peso and Turkish lira, partially offset by the strength of several currencies, including the Brazilian real, Russian ruble, South African rand and Australian dollar, relative to the U.S. dollar. Our underlying Organic Net Revenue decline was driven by unfavorable volume/mix, partially offset by higher net pricing. Unfavorable volume/mix, primarily due to delayed shipments caused by the malware incident, was reflected in all segments except Europe. Net pricing was up, which includes the benefit of carryover pricing from the second half of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the second quarter of 2017. Higher net pricing was reflected in Latin America and AMEA, partially offset by lower net pricing in North America and Europe. The impact of divestitures resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $48 million for the first six months of 2017. The November 2, 2016 acquisition of a business and license to manufacture, market and sell Cadbury-branded biscuits in additional key markets added $30 million (constant currency basis) of incremental net revenues for the first six months of 2017.

Operating Income– Operating income increased $121 million (8.9%) to $1,481 million in the first six months of 2017, Adjusted Operating Income(1) increased $66 million (3.4%) to $1,988 million and Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis(1) increased $139 million (7.2%) to $2,061 million due to the following:

During the first six months of 2017, unfavorable volume/mix, in part due to the delayed shipments resulting from the malware incident, was driven by North America, Latin America and AMEA, which was partially offset by favorable volume/mix in Europe. We realized higher net pricing while input costs increased modestly. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in the second half of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, was driven by Latin America and AMEA, partially offset by lower net pricing in North America and Europe. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, which were partially offset by lower manufacturing costs due to productivity.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $359 million from the first six months of 2016, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, lower divestiture-related costs associated with the sale of a confectionery business in France, the benefit from the settlement of a Cadbury tax matter, lower implementation costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, a property insurance recovery in AMEA and a favorable currency impact. The decreases were partially offset by the gains on sales of property in 2016 and incremental expenses incurred due to the malware incident.

Excluding the factors noted above, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $208 million from the first six months of 2016. The decrease was driven primarily by lower overhead costs and lower advertising and consumer promotion costs due to continued cost reduction efforts in both areas.

Unfavorable currency impacts decreased operating income by $73 million, due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, including the Egyptian pound, British pound sterling and euro, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the Brazilian real, Russian ruble, Australian dollar and South African rand.

Operating income margin increased from 10.7% in the first six months of 2016 to 11.9% in the first six months of 2017. The increase in operating income margin was driven primarily by an increase in our Adjusted Operating Income margin, lower divestiture-related costs associated with the sale of a confectionery business in France, the benefit from the settlement of a Cadbury tax matter and lower costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, partially offset by the year-over-year unfavorable impact of unrealized gains/(losses) on currency and commodity hedging activities and higher intangible asset impairment charges. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 15.4% in the first six months of 2016 to 16.3% in the first six months of 2017. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income margin was driven primarily by lower overheads and lower advertising and consumer promotion costs due to continued cost reduction efforts in both areas.

Results of Operations by Reportable Segment


Our operations and management structure are organized into four reportable operating segments:

Latin America
AMEA
Europe
North America

On October 1, 2016, we integrated our 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 operating segment, while the remaining Middle East and African countries were combined within our Asia Pacific region to form a new AMEA operating segment. We have reflected the segment change as if it had occurred in all periods presented.


We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise in our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.


We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. See Note 15,16, Segment Reporting,for additional information on our segments andItems Affecting Comparability of Financial Results earlier in this section for items affecting our segment operating results.


Our segment net revenues and earnings revised to reflect our new segment structure in all periods, were:

(1)During the first quarter of 2018, in connection with adopting a new pension cost classification accounting standard, we reclassified certain of our benefit plan component costs other than service costs out of operating income into a new line item, benefit plan non-service income, on our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As such, we have recast our historical operating income and segment operating income to reflect this reclassification, which had no impact to earnings before income taxes or net earnings.

Segment operating income decreased $60$320 million (10.6%(142.2%), primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix, lower net pricing, higher intangible asset impairment chargesthe impact from pension participation changes and higher raw materialmanufacturing costs. These unfavorable items were partially offset by favorable volume/mix, the lapping of prior-year intangible asset impairment charges, higher net pricing, lower raw material costs and lower advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $80 million (2.5%), due to favorable volume/mix (1.9 pp), favorable currency (0.4 pp) and the impact of an acquisition (0.2 pp), while net pricing was flat. Favorable volume/mix included the benefit from lapping last year's malware incident. Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains in biscuits and candy, partially offset by declines in gum and chocolate. Favorable currency impact was due to the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $7 million in the first six months of 2018. Net pricing was flat as higher net pricing in gum was offset by lower net pricing in chocolate, candy and biscuits.

Segment operating income decreased $337 million (65.2%), primarily due to the impact from pension participation changes and higher manufacturing costs. These unfavorable items were partially offset by the lapping of prior-year intangible asset impairment charges, lower raw material costs, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, lower costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, favorable volume/mix and lower advertisingother selling, general and consumer promotion costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


We believe that cash from operations, our revolving credit facilities and our authorized long-term financing will provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, future contractual obligations, share repurchases, transition tax liability on our historical accumulated foreign earnings due to the U.S. tax reform and payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends. We continue to utilize our commercial paper program, international credit lines and long-term debt issuances for regularour funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Earnings outside of the U.S. are considered indefinitely reinvested and no material tax liability has been accrued as of June 30, 2017. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity, including the indefinite reinvestment of our earnings outside of the U.S.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,182 million in the first six months of 2018 and $262 million in the first six months of 2017 and $337 million in the first six months of 2016.2017. The decreaseincrease in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to higher tax payments in 2017, partially offset by highernet earnings, and improvements in our cash conversion cycle. In the second quarter of 2017, we continued to improve our cash conversion cycle to negative 21 days from negative 4 daysimproved working capital trends as well as lower pension contributions in the second quarterfirst six months of 2016.

2018 than in the first six months of 2017.


Net Cash Used in Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,041 million in the first six months of 2018 and $286 million in the first six months of 2017 and $505 million in the first six months of 2016.2017. The decreaseincrease in net cash used in investing activities primarily relates to net$528 million paid to acquire the Tate's Bake Shop business in the second quarter of 2018, the absence of proceeds from divestitures received from a divestiture of $169 millionin the prior year and lowerhigher capital expenditures of $532 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to $488 million forin the first six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $604 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.of 2017. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities and support new product and productivity initiatives. We expect 20172018 capital expenditures to be up to $1.1$1.0 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures from operations.


Net Cash Provided by/(Used in/Provided byin) Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities was $389 million in the first six months of 2018 and net cash used in financing activities was $376 million in the first six months of 2017 and2017. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was $28 million in the first six months of 2016. The increase in net cash used in financing activities relative to the comparable prior-year period was primarily due to higher net payments of long-term and lower netdebt issuances of short-term debt,partially offset by lowerhigher share repurchases.

repurchases and dividends paid.


Debt:

From time to time we refinance long-term and short-term debt. Refer to Note 7,8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, for details of our debt activity during the first six months of 2017.2018. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of current and expected business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Due to seasonality, in the first and second quarters of the year, our working capital requirements grow, increasing the need for short-term financing. The third and fourth quarterssecond half of the year typically generategenerates higher cash flows. As such, we may issue commercial paper or secure other forms of financing throughout the year to meet short-term working capital needs.


During 2016, one of our subsidiaries, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“MIHN”), issued debt totaling $4.5 billion. The operations held by MIHN generated approximately 74.3 percent74.4% (or $9.2$9.6 billion) of the $12.4$12.9 billion of consolidated net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2017.2018. The operations held by MIHN represented approximately 87.7 percent79.1% (or $22.6$20.0 billion) of the $25.8$25.3 billion of net assets as of June 30, 20172018 and 81.7 percent75.5% (or $20.6$19.8 billion) of the $25.2$26.2 billion of net assets as of December 31, 2016.

2017.


On February 3, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a new $5$5.0 billion long-term financing authority to replace the prior authority. As of June 30, 2017,2018, we had $4.7$1.7 billion of long-term financing authority remaining.


In the next 12 months, we expect $739approximately $780 million of long-term debt will mature as follows:fr.250 £76 million Swiss franc notes ($261100 million as of June 30, 2017)2018) in JanuaryJuly 2018, $280 million in August 2018 and $478$400 million in February 2018.2019. We expect to fund these repayments with a combination of cash from operations and the issuance of commercial paper or long-term debt.


Our total debt was $18.8$19.7 billion at June 30, 20172018 and $17.2$17.7 billion at December 31, 2016.2017. Ourdebt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.420.44 at June 30, 20172018 and 0.410.40 at December 31, 2016.2017. At June 30, 2017,2018, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 6.76.1 years. Our average daily commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $4.6 billion in the first six months of 2018 and $4.2 billion in the first six months ended 2017 and $2.0 billion in the first six months ended 2016.of 2017. We had commercial paper


outstanding totaling $4.2totaling $3.9 billion as of June 30, 20172018 and $2.4$3.4 billion as of December 31, 2016.2017. We expect to continue to use commercial paper to finance various short-term financing needs. We continue to comply with our debt covenants. Refer to Note 7,8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, for more information on our debt and debt covenants.


Commodity Trends


We regularly monitor worldwide supply, commodity cost and currency trends so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. During the first six months ended June 30, 2017,of 2018, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were higher commodity market pricing and currency-relatedincreased costs onfor dairy, cocoa, sugar, packaging, energy, grains & oils grains and other raw materials, partially offset by lower costs for nutscocoa, sugar and energy.

nuts.


A number of external factors such as weather conditions, commodity market conditions, currency fluctuations and the effects of governmental agricultural or other programs affect the cost and availability of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We address higher commodity costs and currency impacts primarily through hedging, higher pricing and manufacturing and overhead cost control. We use hedging techniques to limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials; however, we may not be able to fully hedge against commodity cost changes, such as dairy, where there is a limited ability to hedge, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. Due to competitive or market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors, our pricing actions may also lag commodity cost changes temporarily.


We expect commodity price volatility and a slightly higher aggregate cost environment to continue in 2017. Given that2018. While the costs of our keyprincipal raw materials fluctuate, significantly over time, we periodically enter into hedging instruments to ensure reliability of supplies and to lock in costs. As such, our actual commodity costs could vary from commodity spot market pricing over the hedged period. We believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available from numerous sources.

Equity and Dividends


Stock Plans and Share Repurchases:

See Note 10,11, Stock Plans, for more information on our stock plans, grant activity and share repurchase program for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

2018.


We intend to continue to use a portion of our cash for share repurchases. Between 2013 and 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a total of $13.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2018. On July 29, 2015,January 31, 2018, our Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, approved an increase of $6.0 billion in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to $13.7$19.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2018.

2020.


We repurchased $11,965 millionshares at an aggregate cost of shares$14.2 billion, at a weighted-average cost of $39.08 per share, through June 30, 2018 ($1,109 million1.2 billion in the first six months of 2018, $2.2 billion in 2017, $2,601 million$2.6 billion in 2016, $3,623 million$3.6 billion in 2015, $1,892 million$1.9 billion in 2014 and $2,740$2.7 billion in 2013) through June 30, 2017.. The number of shares that we ultimately repurchase under our share repurchase program may vary depending on numerous factors, including share price and other market conditions, our ongoing capital allocation planning, levels of cash and debt balances, other demands for cash, such as acquisition activity, general economic or business conditions and board and management discretion. Additionally, our share repurchase activity during any particular period may fluctuate. We may accelerate, suspend, delay or discontinue our share repurchase program at any time, without notice.




Dividends:

We paid dividends of $657 million in the first six months of 2018 and $581 million in the first six months of 2017 and $537 million in the first six months of 2016.2017. On August 2, 2017,July 25, 2018, the Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, approveddeclared a 16%quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share of Class A Common Stock, an increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.22 per common share or $0.88of 18 percent, which would be $1.04 per common share on an annualized basis. This dividend is payable on October 12, 2018, to shareholders of record as of September 28, 2018. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.


We anticipate that the 2018 distributions will make a determination as to whether 2017 distributions arebe characterized as dividends a return of basis, or both under U.S. federal income tax rulesrules. The final determination will be made after the 2017 calendaryear-end. This determination will be2018 year–end and reflected on an IRS Form1099-DIV 1099–DIV issued in early 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We usenon-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We usenon-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed thenon-GAAP adjustments that we make in ournon-GAAP definitions below. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales andnon-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major program financing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. We believe thenon-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the GAAP andnon-GAAP financial measures below, and we also discuss our underlying GAAP results throughout ourManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form10-Q.


Our primarynon-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When our definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the relatednon-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis(1).


“Organic Net Revenue” is defined as net revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures(2), our historical global coffee business(3), our historical Venezuelan operations, accounting calendar changes and currency rate fluctuations(4)(3). We also evaluate Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and our Power Brands.

Our emerging markets include our Latin America region in its entirety; the AMEA region, excluding Australia, New Zealand and Japan; and the following countries from the Europe region: Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Georgia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, the Baltics and the East Adriatic countries. (Our developed markets include the entire North America region, the Europe region excluding the countries included in the emerging markets definition, and Australia, New Zealand and Japan from the AMEA region.)

Our Power Brands include some of our largest global and regional brands such as Oreo, Chips Ahoy!, Ritz, TUC/Club Social and belVita biscuits; Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka and Lacta chocolate; Trident gum; Halls candy; and Tang powdered beverages.

Our Power Brands include some of our largest global and regional brands such asOreo,Chips Ahoy!, Ritz, TUC/Club Social andbelVita biscuits;Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka andLacta chocolate;Tridentgum;Halls candy; andTang powdered beverages.

“Adjusted Operating Income” is defined as operating income excluding the impacts of the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program(5); the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program(5)(4); Venezuela remeasurement and deconsolidation losses and historical operating results; gains or losses (includingnon-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture(2) or acquisition gains or losses and related divestiture (2), acquisition and integration and acquisition costs; the JDE coffee business transactionscosts (3)(2) gain and net incremental costs;; the operating results of divestitures(2); our historical global coffee business operating results(3);mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts(5); impact from resolution of tax matters (6); equity method investment earnings historically reported within operating incomeCEO transition remuneration (7); the benefitimpact from the settlement of a Cadbury tax matterpension participation changes (8); and incremental expenses related to the 2017 malware incident. We also present “Adjusted Operating Income margin,” which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income. We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis(4)(3).


“Adjusted EPS” is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations excluding the impacts of the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program(5);items listed in the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program(5); Venezuela remeasurement and deconsolidation losses and historical operating results;Adjusted Operating Income definition as well as losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses; gains or losses (includingnon-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture(2) or acquisition gains or losses and related integration and acquisition costs; the JDE coffee business transactions(3) gain, transaction hedging gains or losses and net incremental costs; gain on the equity method investment exchange;transactions; net earnings from divestitures(2);mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts(6); gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans; the benefit from the settlement of a Cadburyplans and U.S. tax matterreform discrete impacts (8)(9) and incremental expenses related to the malware incident.. Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, our equity method investment net earnings exclude our proportionate share of our investees’ unusual or infrequent items(9)(10), such as acquisition and divestiture-related costs and restructuring program costs.. We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis(4)(3).


(1)When items no longer impact our current or future presentation ofnon-GAAP operating results, we remove these items from ournon-GAAP definitions. ForDuring the firstsecond quarter of 2017,2018, we added to thenon-GAAP definitions the exclusion of the benefitimpact from the settlement of a Cadbury tax matter –pension participation changes - see footnote (8) below. In the second quarter of 2017, we added the exclusion of incremental expenses related to the malware incident.
(2)
Divestitures include completed sales of businesses and exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement. See Note that we completed2, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for information on divestitures and acquisitions impacting the sale of mostcomparability of our grocery business in Australia and New Zealand on July 4, 2017 and we have also removed the historical operating results of the business from our Organic Net Revenue and adjusted results for all periods presented.results.


(3)We continue to have an ongoing interest in the legacy coffee business we deconsolidated in 2015 as part of the JDE coffee business transactions. For historical periods prior to the July 15, 2015 coffee business deconsolidation, we have reclassified any net revenue or operating income from the historical coffee business and include them where the coffee equity method investment earnings are presented within Adjusted EPS. As such, Organic Net Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income in all periods do not include the results of our legacy coffee businesses which are shown within Adjusted EPS only.
(4)(3)Constant currency operating results are calculated by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.
(5)
(4)Non-GAAP adjustments related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program reflect costs incurred that relate to the objectives of our program to transform our supply chain network and organizational structure. Costs that do not meet the program objectives are not reflected in thenon-GAAP adjustments. Refer to our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for more information on the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program.
(6)
(5)During the third quarter of 2016, we began to exclude unrealized gains and losses(mark-to-market (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives from ournon-GAAP earnings measures until such time that the related exposures impact our operating results. Since we purchase commodity and forecasted currency transaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, we made this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. We also discontinued designating commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives for hedge accounting treatment. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, we have recast all historicalnon-GAAP earnings measures to exclude themark-to-market impacts.
(7)
(6)Historically, we have recorded income from equity method investments within our operating income as these investments operated as extensions of our base business. Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, we began to record the earnings from our equity method investments in
after-tax equity method investment earnings outside of operating income following the deconsolidation of our coffee business. Refer toSee Note 1,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in12, Commitments and Contingencies – Tax Matters, and our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for moreadditional information.

(7)DuringOn November 20, 2017, Dirk Van de Put succeeded Irene Rosenfeld as CEO of Mondelēz International in advance of her retirement at the first quarterend of March 2018. In order to incent Mr. Van de Put to join us, we provided him compensation with a total combined target value of $42.5 million to make him whole for incentive awards he forfeited or grants that were not made to him when he left his former employer. The compensation we granted took the form of cash, deferred stock units, performance share units and stock options. In connection with Irene Rosenfeld’s retirement, we made her outstanding grants of performance share units for the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance cycles eligible for continued vesting and approved a $0.5 million salary for her service as Chairman from January through March 2018. We refer to these elements of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s compensation arrangements together as “CEO transition remuneration.” We are excluding amounts we expense as CEO transition remuneration from our non-GAAP results because those amounts are not part of our regular compensation program and are incremental to amounts we would have incurred as ongoing CEO compensation. As a result, in 2017, we recorded a $58 million gain onexcluded amounts expensed for the settlementcash payment to Mr. Van de Put and partial vesting of apre-acquisition Cadbury tax matter further disclosed in Note 11,Commitmentshis equity grants. In 2018, we excluded amounts paid for Ms. Rosenfeld’s service as Chairman and Contingencies – Tax Matters.partial vesting of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s equity grants.
(8)
The impact from pension participation changes represents the charges incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans and other changes in employee group pension plan participation. We exclude these charges from our non–GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect our ongoing pension obligations. See Note 10, Benefit Plans, for more information on the multiemployer pension plan partial withdrawal.
(9)
On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions. As further detailed in Note 14, Income Taxes, our accounting for the new legislation is not complete and we have made reasonable estimates for some tax provisions. We exclude the discrete U.S. tax reform impacts from our Adjusted EPS as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under U.S. tax reform.
(10)We have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ unusual or infrequent items such as acquisition and divestiture related costs, restructuring program costs and discrete U.S. tax reform impacts, in order to provide investors with a comparable view of our performance across periods. Although we have shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with our ownership interests in our equity method investees and review the underlying operating results and unusual or infrequent items with them each reporting period, we do not have direct control over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses. Our use of equity method investment net earnings on an adjusted basis is not intended to imply that we have any such control. Our GAAP “diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations” includes all of the investees’ unusual and infrequent items.


We believe that the presentation of thesenon-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Becausenon-GAAP financial measures vary among companies, thenon-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of thesenon-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. A limitation of thesenon-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items detailed below that have an impact on our U.S. GAAP reported results. The best way this limitation can be addressed is by evaluating ournon-GAAP financial measures in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported results and carefully evaluating the following tables that reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to thenon-GAAP financial measures in this Form10-Q.



Organic Net Revenue:

Applying the definition of “Organic Net Revenue”, the adjustments made to “net revenues” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude the impact of currency, an acquisition and divestitures. We believe that Organic Net Revenue reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provides improved comparability of results. We also evaluate our Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and Power Brands, and these underlying measures are also reconciled to U.S. GAAP below.

(1)Each year we reevaluate our Power Brands and confirm the brands in which we will continue to make disproportionate investments. As such, we may make changes in our planned investments in primarily regional Power Brands following our annual review cycles. For 2017,2018, we made limited changes to our list of regional Power Brands and as such, we reclassified 20162017 Power Brand net revenues on a basis consistent with the current list of Power Brands.




Adjusted Operating Income:

Applying the definition of “Adjusted Operating Income”, the adjustments made to “operating income” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs; divestiture-related costs incurred for the sale of a confectionery business in France and the sale of a grocery business in Australia;intangible asset impairment charges, related to intangible assets; othermark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts; malware incident incremental expenses, acquisition integration costs; acquisition-related costs; divestiture-related costs; the operating results of divestitures; loss on divestiture;mark-to-market impacts the impact from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts; incremental expenses related topension participation changes; the malware incident; gain on sale of intangible assets and the benefitimpact from the settlementresolution of a Cadbury tax matter.matters; and CEO transition remuneration. We also present “Adjusted Operating Income margin,” which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income, and evaluate Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis. We believe these measures provide improved comparability of underlying operating results.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.


As we operate globally, we are primarily exposed to currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. We principally utilize derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. For additional information on our derivative activity and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our currency exchange, commodity price and interest rate exposures, see Note 8,9, Financial Instruments.


Many of ournon-U.S. subsidiaries operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates create volatility in our reported results as we translate the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of these subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting purposes. The translation ofnon-U.S. dollar denominated balance sheets and statements of earnings of our subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting generally results in a cumulative translation adjustment to other comprehensive income within equity. A stronger U.S. dollar relative to other functional currencies adversely affects our consolidated earnings and net assets while a weaker U.S. dollar benefits our consolidated earnings and net assets. While we hedge significant forecasted currency exchange transactions as well as certain net assets ofnon-U.S. operations and other currency impacts, we cannot fully predict or eliminate volatility arising from changes in currency exchange rates on our consolidated financial results. SeeConsolidated Results of Operations andResults of Operations by Reportable Segment underDiscussion and Analysis of Historical Results for currency exchange effects on our financial results during the six months ended June 30, 2017.2018. For additional information on highly inflationary country currencies and the impact of currency policies Brexit and recent currency volatility on our financial condition and results of operations, also see Note 1,Basis of Presentation – Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting.


We also continually monitor the market for commodities that we use in our products. Input costs may fluctuate widely due to international demand, weather conditions, government policy and regulation and unforeseen conditions. To manage input cost volatility, we enter into forward purchase agreements and other derivative financial instruments. We also pursue productivity and cost saving measures and take pricing actions when necessary to mitigate the impact of higher input costs on earnings.


We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt as well as current and expected interest rates in the markets in which we raise capital. Our primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates, corporate credit spreads, London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) and commercial paper rates. We periodically use interest rate swaps and forward interest rate contracts to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt based on current and projected market conditions. Our weighted-average interest rate on total debt was 2.1%2.4% as of June 30, 20172018 and 2.2%2.1% as of December 31, 2016.2017. For more information on our 20172018 debt activity, see Note 7,8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.

There were no significant changes in the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our exposures between

December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017.


See Note 8,9, Financial Instruments, for more information on our 20172018 derivative activity. For additional information on our hedging strategies, policies and practices on an ongoing basis, also refer to our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

We migrated some of our human resource processes, including compensation administration, for a number of countries in AMEA and Europe to our shared service centers in Manila, Philippines and the U.K. Additionally, we continued to transition some of our transactional data processing as well as financial and local tax reportingcontract management services for a number of countries across all regions to three outsourced partners.
