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, 2020. 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 as there are no readily determinable fair values for the equity interests, these investments are carried at cost with changes in the investment recognized to the extent cash is received. 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 Argentinean subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinean peso to the U.S. dollar. On July 1, 2018, both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Argentinean 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, 2021, our Argentinean operations had $5 million of Argentinean peso denominated net monetary assets. Our Argentinean operations contributed $89 million, or 1.2% of consolidated net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded a remeasurement loss of $5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as well as a remeasurement loss of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the revaluation of the Argentinean peso denominated net monetary position over these periods. Brexit . Following the separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union ("Brexit") in 2020, a new trade arrangement was reached between the U.K. and E.U. that began on January 1, 2021. The main trade provisions include the continuation of no tariffs or quotas on trade between the U.K. and E.U. subject to prescribed trade terms. We also need to meet product and labeling standards for both the U.K. and E.U. Cross-border trade between the U.K. and E.U. is now subject to new customs regulations, documentation and reviews. To comply with the new requirements, we increased resources in customer service and logistics, in our factories, and on our customs support teams. We adapted our processes and systems for the new and increased number of customs transactions. We continue to closely monitor and manage our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the U.K. If the U.K.’s separation from, or new trade arrangements with, the E.U. negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disagreements on trade terms, delays affecting our supply chain or distribution, or disruptions to sales or collections, the impact to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we generated 9.9% of our consolidated net revenues in the U.K. Other Countries. Since we sell our products in over 150 countries and have operations in approximately 80 countries, we monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to potential exposures. We continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and related impacts to our business operations, currencies and net monetary exposures. Since the global onset of COVID-19 in early 2020, most countries in which we do business experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty as well as exchange rate volatility. At this time, except for Argentina which is accounted for as a highly inflationary economy, we do not anticipate any other countries in which we operate to be at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash: Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We also have restricted cash that is recorded within other current assets of $31 million as of March 31, 2021 and $31 million as of December 31, 2020. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $2,059 million as of March 31, 2021 and $3,650 million as of December 31, 2020. Allowances for Credit Losses: The allowances for credit losses are recorded against our receivables. They are developed at a country and region level based on historical collection experiences, current economic condition of specific customers and the forecasted economic condition of countries using various factors such as bond default rates and consumption indexes. We write off receivables once it is determined that the receivables are no longer collectible and as allowed by local laws. Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of: Allowance for Trade Receivables Allowance for Other Current Receivables Allowance for Long-Term Receivables (in millions) Balance at January 1, 2021 $ (42) $ (42) $ (12) Current period provision for expected credit losses (2) — — Write-offs charged against the allowance 1 1 — Currency 3 — 1 Balance at March 31, 2021 $ (40) $ (41) $ (11) 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 $905 million as of March 31, 2021 and $760 million as of December 31, 2020. 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. Non-Cash Lease Transactions: We recorded $29 million in operating lease and $30 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $89 million in operating lease and $25 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2020. New Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that removes certain exceptions in accounting for income taxes, improves consistency in application and clarifies existing guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications: Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. During the second quarter of 2020, in connection with the JDE Peet's (as defined below) transaction (refer to Note 6, Equity Method Investments |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures On April 1, 2021, we acquired Gourmet Food Holdings Pty Ltd, a leading Australian food company in the premium biscuit and cracker category, for closing cash consideration of approximately $458 million Australian dollars ($348 million). We incurred acquisition-related costs of $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. On March 25, 2021, we acquired a majority interest in Lion/Gemstone Topco Ltd ("Grenade"), a performance nutrition leader in the United Kingdom, for closing cash consideration of £188 million ($260 million), net of cash received. The acquisition of Grenade expands our position into the premium nutrition market. We are working to complete the valuation and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $81 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $24 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $180 million to goodwill, $1 million to property, plant and equipment, $11 million to inventory, $18 million to accounts receivable, $1 million to other current assets, $25 million to current liabilities, $20 million to deferred tax liabilities and $11 million to long-term other liabilities. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. On January 4, 2021, we acquired the remaining 93% of equity of Hu Master Holdings, a category leader in premium chocolate in the United States, which provides a strategic complement to our snacking portfolio in North America through growth opportunities in chocolate and other categories in the well-being category. The initial cash consideration paid was $229 million, net of cash received, and the Company may be required to pay additional cash consideration. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date was $132 million and was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on forecasted future results. We are unable to provide a range of amounts that could be paid as contingent consideration as it is based primarily on revenue and gross margin of the business for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and there is not a minimum or maximum payout. As a result of acquiring the remaining equity interest, we consolidated the operations prospectively from the date of acquisition and recorded a pre-tax gain of $9 million ($7 million after-tax) related to stepping up our previously-held $8 million (7%) investment to fair value. We are working to complete the valuation and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $123 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $51 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $202 million to goodwill, $1 million to property, plant and equipment, $2 million to inventory, $4 million to accounts receivable, $5 million to current liabilities and $132 million to long-term other liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the acquisition added incremental net revenues of $8 million and an operating loss of $6 million. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. On April 1, 2020, we acquired a majority interest in Give & Go, a North American leader in fully-finished sweet baked goods and owner of the famous two-bite ® brand of brownies and the Create-A-Treat ® brand, known for cookie and gingerbread house decorating kits. The acquisition of Give & Go provides access to the in-store bakery channel and expands our position in broader snacking. The purchase consideration for Give & Go totaled $1,136 million, net of cash received. We have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows: (in millions) Receivables $ 29 Inventory 38 Other current assets 6 Property, plant and equipment 136 Operating right of use assets 61 Definite-life intangible assets 511 Indefinite-life intangible assets 42 Goodwill 531 Assets acquired $ 1,354 Current liabilities 42 Deferred tax liabilities 92 Long-term operating lease liabilities 56 Long-term debt 6 Long-term other liabilities 19 Total purchase price $ 1,139 Less: cash received 3 Net Cash Paid $ 1,136 Within definite-life intangible assets, we allocated $416 million to customer relationships which have an estimated useful life of 17 years. Goodwill arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across both new and legacy product categories. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value for customer relationships at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include discounted future cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $106 million and operating income of $6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2020, we incurred $5 million of acquisition-related costs. |

Definite-life intangible assets consist primarily of brands, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $130 million in 2021, approximately $120 million in 2022-2024 and approximately $105 million in 2025 (reflecting March 31, 2021 exchange rates).

See Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures , for additional information. During the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, we evaluated our goodwill and intangible asset impairment risk through an assessment of potential triggering events. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, we considered qualitative and quantitative information in our assessment over indefinite-life intangible assets. Based on the financial performance of our goodwill reporting units and intangible assets and review of other significant fair value assumptions, we concluded that no impairment indicators were present that would require a full impairment assessment. We will continue to monitor the potential for asset impairment risk over coming quarters. In 2020, we recorded $144 million of intangible asset impairment charges related to eight |

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Equity Method Investments | Note 6. Equity Method Investments Equity method investments consist of our investments in entities in which we maintain an equity ownership interest and apply the equity method of accounting due to our ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs. Revenue and expenses of our equity method investees are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each investee is reflected as equity method investment net earnings . The carrying values of our equity method investments are also impacted by our proportionate share of items impacting the investee's accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and other items, such as our share of investee dividends. Our equity method investments include, but are not limited to, our ownership interests in JDE Peet's (Euronext Amsterdam: "JDEP"), Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: "KDP"), Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. As of March 31, 2021, we owned 22.8%, 8.3%, 50.0% and 49.0%, respectively, of these companies' outstanding shares. Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $5,916 million as of March 31, 2021 and $6,036 million as of December 31, 2020. We recorded equity earnings and cash dividends of $78 million and $74 million in the first quarter of 2021 and equity earnings and cash dividends of $121 million and $165 million in the first quarter of 2020. Based on the quoted closing prices as of March 31, 2021, the combined fair value of our publicly-traded investments in JDEP and KDP was $8.3 billion, and for each investment, its fair value exceeded its carrying value. Keurig Dr Pepper Transactions: On March 4, 2020, we participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately 6.8 million shares, which reduced our ownership interest by 0.5% of the total outstanding shares. We received $185 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $71 million (or $54 million after-tax) during the first quarter of 2020. 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. JDE Peet’s Transaction: On May 19, 2020, JDE Peet’s B.V. (renamed JDE Peet’s N.V. immediately prior to Settlement (as defined below), “JDE Peet’s”) announced its intention to launch an offering of its ordinary shares (the “offering”) and to apply for admission to listing and trading of all of its ordinary shares on Euronext Amsterdam, a regulated market operated by Euronext Amsterdam N.V. (the “admission”). On May 26, 2020, JDE Peet’s published a prospectus in connection with the offering and the admission. On May 29, 2020, JDE Peet’s announced the final pricing terms of the offering, and JDE Peet’s and the selling shareholders, including us, agreed to sell at a price of €31.50 per ordinary share a total of approximately 82.1 million ordinary shares, including ordinary shares subject to an over-allotment option. The ordinary shares were listed and first traded on May 29, 2020, and payment for, and delivery of, the ordinary shares sold in the offering (excluding ordinary shares subject to the over-allotment option) took place on June 2, 2020 (“Settlement”). Prior to Settlement, we exchanged our 26.4% ownership interest in JDE for a 26.5% equity interest in JDE Peet’s. We did not invest new capital in connection with the transaction and the exchange was accounted for as a change in interest transaction. Upon Settlement, we sold approximately 9.7 million of our ordinary shares in JDE Peet’s in the offering for gross proceeds of €304 million ($343 million). We subsequently sold approximately 1.4 million additional shares and received gross proceeds of €46 million ($51 million) upon exercise of the over-allotment option. Following Settlement and the exercise of the over-allotment option, we held a 22.9% equity interest in JDE Peet’s. As was the case in our ownership interest in JDE, we have significant influence with respect to JDE Peet’s, and we will continue to account for our investment in JDE Peet’s under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of JDE Peet’s earnings within our earnings and our share of JDE Peet’s dividends within our cash flows. In the second quarter of 2020, in connection with this transaction, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of JDE’s historical and JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, although 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, while recording our share of JDE Peet’s ongoing results after JDE Peet’s has publicly reported its results. This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively to all periods. The following tables show the primary line items on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings and the condensed consolidated balance sheet that changed as a result of the lag. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and equity were also updated to reflect these changes.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring Program | Note 7. 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 implementation charges of $4.8 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the remainder of the program charges by year-end 2022. Restructuring Costs : The Simplify to Grow Program liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was: Severance Asset Total (in millions) Liability balance, January 1, 2021 $ 304 $ — $ 304 Charges 47 41 88 Cash spent (34) — (34) Non-cash settlements/adjustments 1 (41) (40) Currency (10) — (10) Liability balance, March 31, 2021 $ 308 $ — $ 308 • We recorded restructuring charges of $88 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $15 million in the first quarter of 2020 within asset impairment and exit costs and benefit plan non-service income. • We spent $34 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $37 million in the first quarter of 2020 in cash severance and related costs. • We recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other adjustments, including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets, which totaled $40 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $3 million in the first quarter of 2020. • At March 31, 2021, $261 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $47 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 $34 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $43 million in the first quarter of 2020. 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, 2021 and March 31, 2020, 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 AMEA Europe North Corporate Total (in millions) For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Restructuring Costs $ 3 $ (21) $ 6 $ 101 $ (1) $ 88 Implementation Costs 3 2 10 10 9 34 Total $ 6 $ (19) $ 16 $ 111 $ 8 $ 122 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Restructuring Costs $ 4 $ (1) $ 3 $ 2 $ 7 $ 15 Implementation Costs 7 3 14 10 9 43 Total $ 11 $ 2 $ 17 $ 12 $ 16 $ 58 Total Project (Inception to Date) Restructuring Costs $ 550 $ 537 $ 1,149 $ 593 $ 141 $ 2,970 Implementation Costs 290 231 521 466 347 1,855 Total $ 840 $ 768 $ 1,670 $ 1,059 $ 488 $ 4,825 |

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 8, 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 currency exchange and commodity derivative contracts are economic hedges that are 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, 2021 Total Quoted Prices in Significant Significant (in millions) Currency exchange contracts $ 68 $ — $ 68 $ — Commodity contracts 145 68 77 — Interest rate contracts (180) — (180) — Net investment hedge contracts 60 — 60 — Total derivatives $ 93 $ 68 $ 25 $ — As of December 31, 2020 Total Quoted Prices in Significant Significant (in millions) Currency exchange contracts $ 15 $ — $ 15 $ — Commodity contracts 77 46 31 — Interest rate contracts (328) — (328) — Net investment hedge contracts (15) — (15) — Total derivatives $ (251) $ 46 $ (297) $ — 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.

Cash Flow Hedge Coverage: As of March 31, 2021, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 3 years and 6 months. Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations: Net investment hedge ("NIH") derivative contracts: We enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps, forwards and options to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates.

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, 2021, over the remainder of 2021, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $5 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $165 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.

(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. On December 2, 2020, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $4.0 billion in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to $23.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2023. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2021, we had repurchased approximately $18.0 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we repurchased approximately 18.2 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $55.97 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $1.0 billion, all of which was paid during the period. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of March 31, 2021, we have $4.7 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings: We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims, disputes, regulatory matters and governmental inspections or investigations arising in the ordinary course of or incidental to our business, including those noted below 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 we have not provided for 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. 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 for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court"), 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. On August 15, 2019, the District Court approved a settlement agreement between the CFTC and Mondelēz Global. The terms of the settlement, which are available in the District Court’s docket, had an immaterial impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. On October 23, 2019, following a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit regarding Mondelēz Global's allegations that the CFTC and its Commissioners violated certain terms of the settlement agreement and the CFTC's argument that the Commissioners were not bound by the terms of the settlement agreement, the District Court vacated the settlement agreement and reinstated all pending motions that the District Court had previously mooted as a result of the settlement. The parties have reached a new agreement in principle to resolve the CFTC action and have submitted the settlement to the District Court for approval. The District Court cancelled a scheduled conference on June 4, 2020 to discuss the proposed settlement agreement but indicated that it would rule on pending motions in due course . Additionally, several class action complaints were filed against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global in the District Court 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 the plaintiffs are seeking class action certification; monetary damages, interest and unjust enrichment; costs and fees; and injunctive, declaratory and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the District Court. On January 3, 2020, the District Court granted plantiffs' request to certify a class. 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 and the class 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. In November 2019, the European Commission informed us that it has initiated an investigation into our alleged infringement of European Union competition law through certain practices restricting cross-border trade within the European Economic Area. On January 28, 2021, the European Commission announced it has taken the next procedural step in its investigation and opened formal proceedings. We are cooperating with the investigation and expect to continue to engage with the European Commission as their investigation proceeds. It is not possible to predict how long the investigation will take or the ultimate outcome of this matter. 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, 2021, 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 Taxes | Note 14. Income Taxes As of the first quarter of 2021, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 25.2%. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings 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, 2021 of 19.1% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $65 million, primarily driven by a $32 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions and a $27 million benefit from a U.S. amended tax return filed to reflect new guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department. As of the first quarter of 2020, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 25.2%. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings 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, 2020 of 21.2% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $28 million, primarily driven by a $22 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions. |

Segment Reporting | Note 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. 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), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures 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. Our segment net revenues and earnings were: For the Three Months Ended 2021 2020 (in millions) Net revenues: Latin America $ 669 $ 726 AMEA 1,745 1,502 Europe 2,847 2,584 North America 1,977 1,895 Net revenues $ 7,238 $ 6,707 Earnings before income taxes: Operating income: Latin America $ 76 $ 78 AMEA 362 234 Europe 557 472 North America 270 381 Unrealized gains/(losses) on hedging activities 118 (185) General corporate expenses (64) (76) Amortization of intangibles (38) (43) Gain on acquisition 9 — Acquisition-related costs (7) (5) Operating income 1,283 856 Benefit plan non-service income 44 33 Interest and other expense, net (218) (190) Earnings before income taxes $ 1,109 $ 699 Items impacting our segment operating results are discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation , Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures, Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment, Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and Note 7, Restructuring Program .

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, 2020. |
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 as there are no readily determinable fair values for the equity interests, these investments are carried at cost with changes in the investment recognized to the extent cash is received. |
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 Argentinean subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinean peso to the U.S. dollar. On July 1, 2018, both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Argentinean 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, 2021, our Argentinean operations had $5 million of Argentinean peso denominated net monetary assets. Our Argentinean operations contributed $89 million, or 1.2% of consolidated net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded a remeasurement loss of $5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as well as a remeasurement loss of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the revaluation of the Argentinean peso denominated net monetary position over these periods. Brexit . Following the separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union ("Brexit") in 2020, a new trade arrangement was reached between the U.K. and E.U. that began on January 1, 2021. The main trade provisions include the continuation of no tariffs or quotas on trade between the U.K. and E.U. subject to prescribed trade terms. We also need to meet product and labeling standards for both the U.K. and E.U. Cross-border trade between the U.K. and E.U. is now subject to new customs regulations, documentation and reviews. To comply with the new requirements, we increased resources in customer service and logistics, in our factories, and on our customs support teams. We adapted our processes and systems for the new and increased number of customs transactions. We continue to closely monitor and manage our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the U.K. If the U.K.’s separation from, or new trade arrangements with, the E.U. negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disagreements on trade terms, delays affecting our supply chain or distribution, or disruptions to sales or collections, the impact to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we generated 9.9% of our consolidated net revenues in the U.K. Other Countries. Since we sell our products in over 150 countries and have operations in approximately 80 countries, we monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to potential exposures. We continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and related impacts to our business operations, currencies and net monetary exposures. Since the global onset of COVID-19 in early 2020, most countries in which we do business experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty as well as exchange rate volatility. At this time, except for Argentina which is accounted for as a highly inflationary economy, we do not anticipate any other countries in which we operate to be at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Allowances for Credit Losses | Allowances for Credit Losses: The allowances for credit losses are recorded against our receivables. They are developed at a country and region level based on historical collection experiences, current economic condition of specific customers and the forecasted economic condition of countries using various factors such as bond default rates and consumption indexes. We write off receivables once it is determined that the receivables are no longer collectible and as allowed by local laws. |
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 $905 million as of March 31, 2021 and $760 million as of December 31, 2020. 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. |

[1] | We maintain a multi-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. 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, 2021, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $37.8 billion. The revolving credit facility 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. |
