Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Basis of Presentation Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments over which we do not have significant influence or control are not material and are carried at cost as there is no readily determinable fair value for the equity interests. Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting : We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings. Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. As discussed below, beginning on July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our operations in Argentina. Argentina. During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates that indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar. On July 1, 2018, both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Argentinian pesos were remeasured into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, with remeasurement and other transaction gains and losses recorded in net earnings. As of March 31, 2019 , our Argentinian operations had $2 million of Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets. Our Argentinian operations contributed $100 million , or 1.5% , of consolidated net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 . During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we recorded a $2 million remeasurement loss within selling, general and administrative expenses related to the revaluation of the Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets during the quarter. Brexit . In the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we generated 9.3% of our consolidated net revenues in the United Kingdom. We continue to monitor the U.K. planned exit from the European Union ("Brexit"), the deadline for which has been extended through October 31, 2019. We continue to take protective measures in response to the potential impacts on our results of operations and financial condition. Following the Brexit vote in June 2016, there was significant volatility in the global stock markets and currency exchange rates. The value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar declined significantly and negatively affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. If the ultimate terms of the United Kingdom’s separation from the European Union negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disruptions to sales or our supply chain, the impact to our results of operations and financial condition could be material. We are taking measures to increase our resources in customer service & logistics together with increasing our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the United Kingdom to help us manage through the Brexit transition and the inherent risks. Other Countries. Since we sell our products in over 150 countries and have operations in 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 and exchange rate volatility, including Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa and Pakistan. We continue to monitor operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in these countries. At this time, we do not anticipate that these countries are at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries. Transfers of Financial Assets: We account for transfers of financial assets, such as uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We use receivable factoring arrangements periodically when circumstances are favorable to manage liquidity. We have non-recourse factoring arrangements in which we sell eligible trade receivables primarily to banks in exchange for cash. We may then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the banks. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $808 million as of March 31, 2019 and $819 million as of December 31, 2018 . The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was not material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Leases: We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. On January 1, 2019, we began to record operating leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We elected not to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for short-term operating leases with terms of 12 months or less. As of March 31, 2019, long-term operating lease ROU assets and long-term operating lease liabilities were presented separately and operating lease liabilities payable in the next twelve months were recorded in other current liabilities. Finance lease ROU assets continue to be presented in property, plant and equipment and the related finance lease liabilities continue to be presented in the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt. Lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at commencement date at the value of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. The non-recurring fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 as no fair value inputs are observable. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in most of our leases, we use our country-specific incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term using information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Many of our leases contain non-lease components (e.g. product costs, common-area or other maintenance costs) that relate to the lease components of the agreement. Non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. Amortization of ROU lease assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the expense recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses depending on the nature of the leased item. Interest expense is recorded over the lease term and is recorded in interest expense (based on a front-loaded interest expense pattern) for finance leases and is recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses (on a straight-line basis) for operating leases. All operating lease cash payments and interest on finance leases are recorded within cash flows from operating activities and all finance lease principal payments are recorded within cash flows from financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. New Accounting Pronouncements: In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that permits the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for internal-use software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard may impact our disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard may impact our disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that requires entities to record share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees at fair value as of adoption date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that permits entities to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 enactment of U.S. tax reform legislation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We did not elect to reclassify these stranded tax effects from U.S. tax reform when we adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. As such, this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our policy is to release stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income under the portfolio method rather than on an individual item by item basis. In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities and improve disclosures surrounding hedging. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach. Presentation and disclosure requirements related to this ASU are required prospectively. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the standard as of January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Refer to Note 10, Financial Instruments , for additional information. In July 2017, the FASB issued an ASU on financial instruments that allows for the exclusion of a down round feature when evaluating whether or not the instrument or embedded feature requires derivative classification. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to measure the impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the guidance. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. 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 a ROU 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 or financing. In July 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that allows for an alternative transition approach, which does not require adjustments to comparative prior-period amounts. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allowed us not to reassess the lease classification and initial direct costs for expired or existing leases or whether expired or existing contracts contain leases. We elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components and to account for both as a single lease component by class of the underlying asset. The impact of adopting the standard included the initial recognition as of January 1, 2019, of $710 million of lease related assets and $730 million of lease related liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The transition method we elected for adoption requires a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, which was not material. Reclassifications: Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. During the third quarter of 2018, in connection with the Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. transaction, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of Keurig Green Mountain Inc.’s historical results and Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.'s ongoing results on a one-quarter lag basis while we continue to record dividends when cash is received. This change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Refer to Note 7, Equity Method Investments

Divestitures and Acquisitions	Note 2. Divestitures and Acquisitions On June 7, 2018 , we acquired a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, within our North America segment for $528 million cash paid, net of cash received, and extended our premium biscuit offerings. We expect to finalize the purchase price paid and related purchase price allocation once working capital and other adjustments are finalized. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. As of March 31, 2019 , we recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $45 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $205 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $298 million to goodwill, $16 million to property, plant and equipment, $5 million to inventory, $9 million to accounts receivable, $6 million to current liabilities and $44 million to deferred tax liabilities. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $20 million and incremental operating income of $2 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases, Operating	Note 5. Leases We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles, equipment and office space. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 9 years , some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 6 years . We assume the majority of our termination options will not be exercised when determining the lease term of our leases. We do not include significant restrictions or covenants in our lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are generally not included within our operating leases, with the exception of some fleet leases. Some of our leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage or output or may vary for other reasons, such as product costs, insurance and tax payments.

Leases, Finance	Note 5. Leases We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles, equipment and office space. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 9 years , some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 6 years . We assume the majority of our termination options will not be exercised when determining the lease term of our leases. We do not include significant restrictions or covenants in our lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are generally not included within our operating leases, with the exception of some fleet leases. Some of our leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage or output or may vary for other reasons, such as product costs, insurance and tax payments. These variable payment leases are not included in our recorded lease assets and liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Certain leases are tied to a variable index or rate and are included in our lease assets and liabilities based on the indices or rates as of lease commencement.

Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $175 million for the next two years and approximately $85 million in years three to five (reflecting March 31, 2019 exchange rates).

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	Note 7. Equity Method Investments Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $7,004 million as of March 31, 2019 and $7,123 million as of December 31, 2018 . Our largest investments are in Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”) and Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NYSE: "KDP”). JDE: As of March 31, 2019 , we held a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.2% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. We recorded JDE equity earnings of $50 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $46 million in the first quarter of 2018 . We also recorded $73 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2019 and $73 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2018 . Keurig Dr Pepper Transaction: On July 9, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. ("Keurig") closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NYSE: "KDP"), a publicly traded company. Following the close of the transaction, our 24.2% investment in Keurig together with our shareholder loan receivable became a 13.8% investment in KDP. During 2018, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $778 million reported as a gain on equity method transaction and $192 million of deferred tax expense reported in the provision for income taxes (or $586 million after-tax gain) related to the change in our ownership interest. We hold two director positions on the KDP board as well as additional governance rights. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in KDP under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows. In connection with this transaction, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of Keurig's historical and KDP's ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis while we continue to record dividends when cash is received. We determined a lag was preferable as it enables us to continue to report our quarterly and annual results on a timely basis and to record our share of KDP’s ongoing results once KDP has publicly reported its results. This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively to all periods. While our operating income did not change, equity method investment net earnings, net earnings and earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect the lag across all reported periods. The following tables show the primary line items on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings that changed as a result of the lag. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and equity were also updated to reflect these changes. For the Three Months Ended As Reported As Adjusted (in millions) Statements of Earnings Provision for income taxes $ (307 ) $ (337 ) Equity method investment net earnings 94 232 Net earnings 944 1,052 Net earnings attributable to Mondelēz International 938 1,046 Earnings per share attributable to Mondelēz International: Basic EPS $ 0.63 $ 0.70 Diluted EPS $ 0.62 $ 0.70 Statements of Other Comprehensive Earnings Currency translation adjustment $ 207 $ 210 Total other comprehensive earnings/(losses) 155 158 Comprehensive earnings attributable to Mondelēz International 1,078 1,189 As of March 31, 2019 , we held a 13.6% ownership interest in KDP. Our ownership interest in KDP may change over time due to stock-based compensation arrangements and other transactions by KDP. During the first quarter, we recognized a $23 million pre-tax gain related to the impact of a KDP acquisition that decreased our ownership interest from 13.8% to 13.6% . As of March 31, 2019 , based on KDP's closing stock price, the fair value of our ownership interest in KDP was $5.4 billion , which exceeded the carrying value of our KDP investment. We recorded equity earnings and cash dividends of $37 million and $29 million in the first three months of 2019 and equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $154 million , $6 million and $3 million in the first three months of 2018 .

Restructuring Program

Restructuring Program	3 Months Ended

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Program	Note 8. Restructuring Program On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion 2014-2018 restructuring program and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $600 million reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so the $5.7 billion program consisted of approximately $4.1 billion of restructuring program charges ( $3.1 billion cash costs and $1.0 billion non-cash costs) and up to $1.6 billion of capital expenditures. On September 6, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2022, an increase of $1.3 billion in the program charges and an increase of $700 million in capital expenditures. The total $7.7 billion program now consists of $5.4 billion of program charges ( $4.1 billion of cash costs and $1.3 billion of non-cash costs) and total capital expenditures of $2.3 billion to be incurred over the life of the program. The current restructuring program, as increased and extended by these actions, is now called the Simplify to Grow Program. The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and related implementation charges of $4.0 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the program charges by year-end 2022. Restructuring Costs : The Simplify to Grow Program liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was: Severance and related costs Asset Write-downs Total (in millions) Liability balance, January 1, 2019 $ 373 $ — $ 373 Charges 15 5 20 Cash spent (53 ) — (53 ) Non-cash settlements/adjustments (1) (24 ) (5 ) (29 ) Currency (4 ) — (4 ) Liability balance, March 31, 2019 $ 307 $ — $ 307 (1) We adopted the new ASU on lease accounting as of January 1, 2019. The ASU revises the accounting for onerous leases such that any onerous lease liability should be netted with the right of use asset. Therefore, we reclassified $23 million onerous lease liability as of March 31, 2019 from accrued liabilities and other accrued liabilities to operating lease right of use assets. We recorded restructuring charges of $20 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $52 million in the first quarter of 2018 within asset impairment and exit costs. We spent $53 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $79 million in the first quarter of 2018 in cash severance and related costs. We also recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments (including a one-time transfer of onerous lease liabilities to operating lease ROU assets) totaling $29 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $25 million in the first quarter of 2018 . At March 31, 2019 , $261 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $46 million was recorded within other long-term liabilities. Implementation Costs: Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our Simplify to Grow Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $50 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $62 million in the first quarter of 2018 . We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. Restructuring and Implementation Costs: During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , and since inception of the Simplify to Grow Program, we recorded the following restructuring and implementation costs within segment operating income and earnings before income taxes: Latin America AMEA Europe North America (1) Corporate (2) Total (in millions) For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Restructuring Costs $ — $ 6 $ — $ 6 $ 8 $ 20 Implementation Costs 15 7 11 4 13 50 Total $ 15 $ 13 $ 11 $ 10 $ 21 $ 70 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Restructuring Costs $ 24 $ 6 $ 7 $ 12 $ 3 $ 52 Implementation Costs 15 12 16 17 2 62 Total $ 39 $ 18 $ 23 $ 29 $ 5 $ 114 Total Project (3) Restructuring Costs $ 493 $ 523 $ 971 $ 459 $ 124 $ 2,570 Implementation Costs 234 175 356 336 291 1,392 Total $ 727 $ 698 $ 1,327 $ 795 $ 415 $ 3,962 (1) During 2019 and 2018 , our North America region implementation costs included incremental costs that we incurred related to renegotiating collective bargaining agreements that expired in February 2016 for eight U.S. facilities and related to executing business continuity plans for the North America business. (2) The Corporate column includes minor adjustments for rounding. (3) Includes all charges recorded since program inception on May 6, 2014 through March 31, 2019

Commercial paper borrowings increased since year end primarily as a result of issuances to finance the payment of long-term debt maturities, dividend payments and share repurchases during the year. Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2019 and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2018 . Borrowings on these lines were $533 million at March 31, 2019 and $138 million at December 31, 2018 . Borrowing Arrangements: On February 27, 2019, to supplement our commercial paper program, we entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364 -day senior unsecured credit facility that is scheduled to expire on February 26, 2020 . The agreement replaces our previous credit agreement that matured on February 27, 2019 and includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of March 31, 2019 , no amounts were drawn on the facility. On February 27, 2019, we entered into 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. This agreement replaces our $4.5 billion amended and restated five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of October 14, 2016. The revolving credit agreement is scheduled to expire on February 27, 2024 . The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders' equity of at least $24.6 billion , excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses), the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles and earnings/(losses) recognized in connection with the ongoing application of any mark-to-market accounting for pensions and other retirement plans. At March 31, 2019 , we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $36.3 billion . The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events to default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. As of March 31, 2019 , no amounts were drawn on the facility. Long-Term Debt: On February 13, 2019, we issued $600 million of 3.625% U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate notes that are scheduled to mature February 13, 2026. We received net proceeds of $595 million that were used to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings and other debt. We recorded approximately $5 million of discounts and deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes. On February 1, 2019, $400 million of our U.S. dollar variable rate notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with the issuance of commercial paper and cash on hand. Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt was 2.4% as of March 31, 2019 , 2.3% as of December 31, 2018 and 2.1% as of December 31, 2017 . Fair Value of Our Debt: The fair value of our short-term borrowings at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 reflects current market interest rates and approximates the amounts we have recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 valuation data) for the publicly traded debt obligations. At March 31, 2019 , the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $19,944 million and its carrying value was $19,420 million . At December 31, 2018 , the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $18,650 million and its carrying value was $18,372 million . Interest and Other Expense, net: Interest and other expense, net consisted of: For the Three Months Ended 2019 2018 (in millions) Interest expense, debt $ 123 $ 102 Loss/(gain) related to interest rate swaps — (14 ) Other (income)/expense, net (43 ) (8 ) Interest and other expense, net $ 80 $ 80 Other income includes amounts related to our net investment hedge derivative contracts that are excluded from hedge effectiveness and totaled $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Financial Instruments	Note 10. Financial Instruments Fair Value of Derivative Instruments: Derivative instruments were recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows: As of March 31, 2019 As of December 31, 2018 Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives (in millions) Derivatives designated as accounting hedges: Interest rate contracts $ 30 $ 307 $ 17 $ 355 Net investment hedge derivative contracts (1) 350 31 337 28 $ 380 $ 338 $ 354 $ 383 Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges: Currency exchange contracts $ 69 $ 28 $ 72 $ 37 Commodity contracts 121 133 191 210 $ 190 $ 161 $ 263 $ 247 Total fair value $ 570 $ 499 $ 617 $ 630 (1) Net investment hedge contracts consist of cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts. We also designate some of our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to hedge a portion of our net investments in our non-U.S. operations. This debt is not reflected in the table above, but is included in long-term debt discussed in Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements . Both net investment hedge derivative contracts and non-U.S. dollar denominated debt acting as net investment hedges are also disclosed in the Derivative Volume table and the Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations section appearing later in this footnote. Derivatives designated as accounting hedges include cash flow and net investment hedge derivative contracts. Our economic hedges are derivatives not designated as accounting hedges. We record derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our asset derivatives is recorded within other current assets and the fair value of our liability derivatives is recorded within other current liabilities. The fair values (asset/(liability)) of our derivative instruments were determined using: As of March 31, 2019 Total Fair Value of Net Asset/(Liability) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Currency exchange contracts $ 41 $ — $ 41 $ — Commodity contracts (12 ) 4 (16 ) — Interest rate contracts (277 ) — (277 ) — Net investment hedge contracts 319 — 319 — Total derivatives $ 71 $ 4 $ 67 $ — As of December 31, 2018 Total Fair Value of Net Asset/(Liability) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Currency exchange contracts $ 35 $ — $ 35 $ — Commodity contracts (19 ) (1 ) (18 ) — Interest rate contracts (338 ) — (338 ) — Net investment hedge contracts 309 — 309 — Total derivatives $ (13 ) $ (1 ) $ (12 ) $ — Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges. Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency exchange forwards, options and swaps; commodity forwards and options; and interest rate swaps. Our currency exchange contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Our OTC derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties. Derivative Volume: The net notional values of our hedging instruments were: Notional Amount As of March 31, 2019 As of December 31, 2018 (in millions) Currency exchange contracts: Intercompany loans and forecasted interest payments $ 2,565 $ 3,239 Forecasted transactions 2,617 2,396 Commodity contracts 683 393 Interest rate contracts 7,631 8,679 Net investment hedges: Net investment hedge derivative contracts 6,685 6,678 Non-U.S. dollar debt designated as net investment hedges Euro notes 3,438 3,514 British pound sterling notes 343 336 Swiss franc notes 1,407 1,424 Canadian dollar notes 449 440 Cash Flow Hedges: Cash flow hedge activity, net of taxes, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) included: For the Three Months Ended 2019 2018 (in millions) Accumulated (loss)/gain at beginning of period $ (167 ) $ (113 ) Transfer of realized (gains)/losses in fair value to earnings — (14 ) Unrealized gain/(loss) in fair value (69 ) (32 ) Accumulated (loss)/gain at end of period $ (236 ) $ (159 ) After-tax gains/(losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into net earnings were: For the Three Months Ended 2019 2018 (in millions) Interest rate contracts $ — $ 14 After-tax gains/(losses) recognized in other comprehensive earnings/(losses) were: For the Three Months Ended 2019 2018 (in millions) Interest rate contracts $ (69 ) $ (32 ) We recognized a gain of $14 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 in interest and other expense, net related to certain forward-starting interest rate swaps for which the planned timing of the related forecasted debt was changed. We record pre-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 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 $61 million (net of taxes) for interest rate cash flow hedges to earnings during the next 12 months. Cash Flow Hedge Coverage: As of March 31, 2019 , our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 4 years and 7 months. Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations: Net investment hedge derivative contracts: We enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forwards to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. The aggregate notional value as of March 31, 2019 was $6.7 billion . The after-tax gain/(loss) on these net investment hedge contracts was recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and was $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $(11) million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . There were no after-tax gains/(losses) on net investment hedge contracts that settled during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 . There were no after-tax gains/(losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into net earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 . We elected to record changes in the fair value of amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness in net earnings.

We make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local funding arrangements and statutory minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contributions are made to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability. As of March 31, 2019 , over the remainder of 2019, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $4 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $164 million to our non-U.S. plans. Our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates. Multiemployer Pension Plans: The most individually significant multiemployer plan we participated in prior to 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. All of those collective bargaining agreements expired in 2016 and we continued to contribute to the Fund through 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we executed a complete withdrawal from the Fund. We estimated a withdrawal liability of $573 million , which represents our best estimate of the withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We anticipate receiving an assessment in 2019, 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 over a period of 20 years from the date of the assessment. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted long-term liability and related charges including accreted interest of $429 million or $321 million net of tax. Postretirement Benefit Plans Net periodic postretirement health care benefit consisted of the following: For the Three Months Ended 2019 2018 (in millions) Service cost $ 1 $ 2 Interest cost 4 4 Amortization: Net loss from experience differences 2 4 Prior service credit (1) (10 ) (10 ) Net periodic postretirement health care benefit $ (3 ) $ — (1) Amortization of prior service credit included gains of $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 related to a change in the eligibility requirement and a change in benefits to Medicare-eligible participants.

The actual tax benefit/(expense) realized and recorded in the provision for income taxes for the tax deductions from the shares vested totaled $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 . (3) The grant date fair value of performance share units is determined based on the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for performance-based components. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the probability of achieving the total shareholder return market condition. Compensation expense is recognized using the grant date fair values regardless of whether the market condition is achieved, so long as the requisite service has been provided. Share Repurchase Program: Between 2013 and 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a total of $13.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2018 . On January 31, 2018 , our Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, approved an increase of $6.0 billion in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to $19.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2020 . Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2019, we had repurchased $15.0 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we repurchased approximately 15 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $44.21 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $0.7 billion , all of which was paid during the period except for approximately $20 million settled in April 2019. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of March 31, 2019 , we have $4.0 billion

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies 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 ( $54 million as of March 31, 2019 ) 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 ( $84 million as of March 31, 2019 ) plus accrued interest. We have appealed this order. In addition, the Excise Authority issued additional show cause notices in February 2015, December 2015 and October 2017 on the same issue but covering the periods January to October 2014, November 2014 to September 2015 and October 2015 to June 2017, respectively. These notices added a total of 4.9 billion Indian rupees ( $71 million as of March 31, 2019 ) of allegedly unpaid excise taxes subject to penalties up to an equivalent amount plus accrued interest. Interest will continue to accrue until the matters are resolved. With the implementation of the Goods and 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. As part of a continuing appeals process, we may be required to deposit an amount up to the equivalent of the total demand for unpaid excise taxes under the five show cause notices, which will be repaid if the proceedings conclude in our favor. We do not expect to be required to make any such deposit before 2020. On April 1, 2015 , the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") filed a complaint against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”) in the U.S. District Court (the "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 in non-competitive trades by trading both sides of exchange-for-physical Chicago Board of Trade wheat contracts. The CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties of either triple the monetary gain for each violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (the “Act”) or $1 million for each violation of Section 6(c)(1), 6(c)(3) or 9(a)(2) of the Act and $140,000 for each additional violation of the Act, plus post-judgment interest; an order of permanent injunction prohibiting Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global from violating specified provisions of the Act; disgorgement of profits; and costs and fees. The parties have reached an agreement in principle to resolve the CFTC action and have been instructed by the Court to submit a proposed consent order reflecting their agreement prior to the next court date on May 28, 2019. 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. We are contesting the plaintiffs' request for class certification. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to bear any monetary penalties or other payments in connection with the CFTC action. Although the CFTC action and the class action complaints involve the same alleged conduct, a resolution or decision with respect to one of the matters may not be dispositive as to the outcome of the other matter. On August 21, 2018, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (“VDEQ”) issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) to Mondelēz Global. In the NOV, the VDEQ alleges that in our Richmond bakery, one operating line did not have the proper minimum temperature on its pollution control equipment and that the bakery failed to provide certain observation and training records. The VDEQ indicated that the alleged violations may lead to a fine and/or injunctive relief. We are working with the VDEQ to reach a resolution of this matter, and we do not expect this matter to have a material effect on our financial results. We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business, including those noted above in this section. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters that are reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome, management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss or such amounts have been determined to be immaterial. At present we believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position. Third-Party Guarantees: We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At March 31, 2019 , 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.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 15. Income Taxes As of the first quarter of 2019, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 25.9% . This reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (which are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of 19.4% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $63 million , primarily driven by $60 million of benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions. As of the first quarter of 2018 , our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 22.5% . This reflected our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (which are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of 29.1% was unfavorably impacted by net discrete tax expense of $73 million , primarily driven by $94 million of additional transition tax liability recognized as an adjustment to the prior provisional estimate, partially offset by an $18 million

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Note 17. Segment Reporting We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy and various cheese & grocery products, as well as powdered beverage products. We manage our global business and report operating results through geographic units. We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions. Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments: • Latin America • AMEA • Europe • North America We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and amortization of intangibles 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. Our segment net revenues and earnings were: For the Three Months Ended 2019 2018 (in millions) Net revenues: Latin America $ 800 $ 891 AMEA 1,541 1,542 Europe 2,551 2,706 North America 1,646 1,626 Net revenues $ 6,538 $ 6,765 Earnings before income taxes: Operating income: Latin America $ 98 $ 126 AMEA 256 228 Europe 500 497 North America 319 275 Unrealized gains on hedging activities (mark-to-market impacts) 16 206 General corporate expenses (109 ) (64 ) Amortization of intangibles (44 ) (44 ) Operating income 1,036 1,224 Benefit plan non-service income 17 13 Interest and other expense, net (80 ) (80 ) Earnings before income taxes $ 973 $ 1,157 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 6, Goodwill and Intangible Assets , Note 8, Restructuring Program , and Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies .

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments over which we do not have significant influence or control are not material and are carried at cost as there is no readily determinable fair value for the equity interests.
Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting	Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting : We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings. Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. As discussed below, beginning on July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our operations in Argentina. Argentina. During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates that indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar. On July 1, 2018, both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Argentinian pesos were remeasured into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, with remeasurement and other transaction gains and losses recorded in net earnings. As of March 31, 2019 , our Argentinian operations had $2 million of Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets. Our Argentinian operations contributed $100 million , or 1.5% , of consolidated net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 . During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we recorded a $2 million remeasurement loss within selling, general and administrative expenses related to the revaluation of the Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets during the quarter. Brexit . In the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we generated 9.3% of our consolidated net revenues in the United Kingdom. We continue to monitor the U.K. planned exit from the European Union ("Brexit"), the deadline for which has been extended through October 31, 2019. We continue to take protective measures in response to the potential impacts on our results of operations and financial condition. Following the Brexit vote in June 2016, there was significant volatility in the global stock markets and currency exchange rates. The value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar declined significantly and negatively affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. If the ultimate terms of the United Kingdom’s separation from the European Union negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disruptions to sales or our supply chain, the impact to our results of operations and financial condition could be material. We are taking measures to increase our resources in customer service & logistics together with increasing our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the United Kingdom to help us manage through the Brexit transition and the inherent risks. Other Countries. Since we sell our products in over 150 countries and have operations in over 80
Transfers of Financial Assets	Transfers of Financial Assets: We account for transfers of financial assets, such as uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We use receivable factoring arrangements periodically when circumstances are favorable to manage liquidity. We have non-recourse factoring arrangements in which we sell eligible trade receivables primarily to banks in exchange for cash. We may then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the banks. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $808 million as of March 31, 2019 and $819 million as of December 31, 2018
Leases	Leases: We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. On January 1, 2019, we began to record operating leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We elected not to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for short-term operating leases with terms of 12 months or less. As of March 31, 2019, long-term operating lease ROU assets and long-term operating lease liabilities were presented separately and operating lease liabilities payable in the next twelve months were recorded in other current liabilities. Finance lease ROU assets continue to be presented in property, plant and equipment and the related finance lease liabilities continue to be presented in the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt. Lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at commencement date at the value of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. The non-recurring fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 as no fair value inputs are observable. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in most of our leases, we use our country-specific incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term using information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Many of our leases contain non-lease components (e.g. product costs, common-area or other maintenance costs) that relate to the lease components of the agreement. Non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. Amortization of ROU lease assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the expense recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses depending on the nature of the leased item. Interest expense is recorded over the lease term and is recorded in interest expense (based on a front-loaded interest expense pattern) for finance leases and is recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses (on a straight-line basis) for operating leases. All operating lease cash payments and interest on finance leases are recorded within cash flows from operating activities and all finance lease principal payments are recorded within cash flows from financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements: In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that permits the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for internal-use software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard may impact our disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard may impact our disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that requires entities to record share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees at fair value as of adoption date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that permits entities to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 enactment of U.S. tax reform legislation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We did not elect to reclassify these stranded tax effects from U.S. tax reform when we adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. As such, this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our policy is to release stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income under the portfolio method rather than on an individual item by item basis. In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities and improve disclosures surrounding hedging. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach. Presentation and disclosure requirements related to this ASU are required prospectively. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the standard as of January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Refer to Note 10, Financial Instruments , for additional information. In July 2017, the FASB issued an ASU on financial instruments that allows for the exclusion of a down round feature when evaluating whether or not the instrument or embedded feature requires derivative classification. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to measure the impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the guidance. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. 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 a ROU 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 or financing. In July 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that allows for an alternative transition approach, which does not require adjustments to comparative prior-period amounts. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allowed us not to reassess the lease classification and initial direct costs for expired or existing leases or whether expired or existing contracts contain leases. We elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components and to account for both as a single lease component by class of the underlying asset. The impact of adopting the standard included the initial recognition as of January 1, 2019, of $710 million of lease related assets and $730 million of lease related liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The transition method we elected for adoption requires a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, which was not material.

The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the probability of achieving the total shareholder return market condition. Compensation expense is recognized using the grant date fair values regardless of whether the market condition is achieved, so long as the requisite service has been provided.
