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 change in accounting for our KDP investment, from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values (“marketable securities”). 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 definition of our non-GAAP financial measures for divestitures was updated to include changes in accounting from equity method investment accounting to accounting for marketable securities. For all periods presented in this Form 8-K, our non-GAAP financial measure for Adjusted EPS is 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).
Adjusted EPS – defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations excluding the impacts of the impacts of the Simplify to Grow Program (2); gains or losses (including non-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture (3) or acquisition gains or losses, divestiture-related costs (4), acquisition-related costs (5), and acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments (6) ; inventory step-up charges (7); net earnings from divestitures (3); remeasurement of net monetary position (8); mark-to-market impacts from commodity, forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts (9); impact from resolution of tax matters (10); 2017 malware incident net recoveries; incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine (11); impact from the European Commission legal matter (12); impact from pension participation changes (13); costs associated with the JDE Peet’s transaction; 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; initial impacts from enacted tax law changes (14); 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 (15). 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 (16).
| (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 (11) below), 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 (4) below) and in the third quarter of 2022, we added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of inventory step-up charges associated with acquisitions (refer to footnote (7) below). In the fourth quarter of 2022, we added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of the impact from the European Commission legal matter (refer to footnote (12) below). In the first quarter of 2023, we added to the non-GAAP definition for divestitures the inclusion of changes from equity method investment accounting to accounting for marketable securities (refer to footnote (3) below. |
| (2) | Non-GAAP adjustments related to the Simplify to Grow Program reflect costs incurred that relate to the objectives of our program to transform our supply chain network and organizational structure. Costs that do not meet the program objectives are not reflected in the non-GAAP adjustments. |
| (3) | Divestitures include completed sales of businesses, exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement, the partial or full sale of an equity method investment and changes from equity method investment accounting to accounting for marketable securities. As we record our share of JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any JDE Peet’s ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within our non-GAAP results the following quarter. |
| (4) | Divestiture-related costs, which includes costs incurred in relation to the preparation and completion of our divestitures as defined in footnote (3), also includes costs incurred associated with our publicly announced processes to sell businesses. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. |
| (5) | Acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments include one-time costs related to the integration of acquisitions as well as any adjustments made to the fair market value of contingent compensation liabilities that have been previously booked earn-outs related to acquisitions that do not relate to employee compensation expense. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. |
