Exhibit 99.2
Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Additional Information
We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results, and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed below the adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP financial measures that were affected by the partial sale of an equity method investment in JDEP as well as the sale of a business in Argentina and the expiration of our KHC license agreement to produce and sell Kraft mayonnaise. Our adjustments generally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales and non-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major program financing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures.
The definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures did not change because of the partial sale of an equity method investment in JDEP, the sale of a business in Argentina or the expiration of our KHC license agreement to produce and sell Kraft mayonnaise. For all periods presented in this Form 8-K, our non-GAAP financial measures for Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS are defined below. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change over time. When definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis (1).
Organic Net Revenue – defined as net revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures (2), and currency rate fluctuations (3). We believe that Organic Net Revenue provides improved comparability of underlying operating results.
Adjusted Gross Profit – defined as gross profit excluding the impacts of the Simplify to Grow Program (4); divestiture-related costs (5); acquisition integration costs (6); the operating results of divestitures (2); mark-to-market impacts from commodity, forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts (7); incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine (8); and the impact from pension participation changes (9). We also present “Adjusted Gross Profit margin,” which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Gross Profit. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit margin provide improved comparability of underlying operating results. We also evaluate growth in the company’s Adjusted Gross Profit on a constant currency basis (3).
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income – defined as operating income (or segment operating income) excluding the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Gross Profit definition as well as gains or losses (including non-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture (2) or acquisition gains or losses, acquisition-related costs, and acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments (6); remeasurement of net monetary position (10); impacts from resolution of tax matters (11); initial impacts from enacted tax law changes (12); and costs associated with the JDE Peet’s transaction. We also present “Adjusted Operating Income margin” and “Adjusted Segment Operating Income margin,” which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income. We believe that Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Segment Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income margin and Adjusted Segment Operating Income margin provide improved comparability of underlying operating results. We also evaluate growth in the company’s Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income on a constant currency basis (3).
Adjusted EPS – defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations excluding the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Income definitions as well as losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses; gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans; net earnings from divestitures (2); and gains or losses on equity method investment transactions. Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, our equity method investment net earnings exclude our proportionate share of our investees’ significant operating and non-operating items (13). We believe that Adjusted EPS provides improved comparability of underlying operating results. We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis (3).
(1) | When items no longer impact our current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, we remove these items from our non-GAAP definitions. In the first quarter of 2022, we added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine (refer to footnote (8) below), and in the second quarter of 2022, we added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of costs incurred associated with our publicly announced processes to sell businesses (refer to footnote (5) below). |
(2) | Divestitures include completed sales of businesses, exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement and the partial or full sale of an equity method investment such as Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (“KDP”) or JDE Peet’s. As we record our share of KDP and JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any KDP or JDE Peet’s ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within our non-GAAP results the following quarter. |
