Mondelēz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries.

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 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 financial position and operating results. Net revenues and net earnings for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.

We derived the condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2013 from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. You should read these statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revision of Financial Statements:

In finalizing our 2013 results, we identified certain out-of-period, non-cash, income tax-related errors in prior interim and annual periods. These errors were not material to any previously reported financial results; however, we revised our 2013 interim and prior-year financial statements and accompanying notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, to reflect these items in the appropriate periods. The net effect of the revision was to lower tax expense in years prior to 2013. The impact of the revision for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a $47 million reduction of net earnings. The impact of the revision to fiscal years prior to 2013 was an increase in cumulative net earnings of $94 million.

We evaluated the cumulative impact of the errors on prior periods under the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250-10, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and the guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality. We also evaluated the impact of correcting the errors through an adjustment to our financial statements under the guidance in ASC 250-10 relating to SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. We concluded that these errors were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any of the prior reporting periods and, therefore, amendments of previously filed reports were not required.

The effects of the revision on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are detailed below.

Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting:

We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.

Venezuela. As prescribed by U.S. GAAP for highly inflationary economies, we have been accounting for the results of our Venezuelan subsidiaries using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency since January 1, 2010.

On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the official Venezuelan bolivar exchange rate from 4.30 bolivars to 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar and the elimination of the second-tier, government-regulated SITME exchange rate previously applied to value certain types of transactions. In connection with the announced changes, we recorded a $54 million currency remeasurement loss related to the devaluation of our net monetary assets in Venezuela within selling, general and administrative expenses in our Latin America segment during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

On January 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of the auction-based currency transaction program referred to as SICAD or SICAD I and new profit margin controls. The application of the SICAD I rate was extended to include foreign investments and significant operating activities, including contracts for leasing and services, use and exploitation of patents and trademarks, payments of royalties and contracts for technology import and technical assistance. As of June 30, 2014, the SICAD I exchange rate was 10.60 bolivars to the U.S. dollar.

Additionally, on March 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government launched a new market-based currency exchange market, SICAD II. SICAD II may be used voluntarily to exchange bolivars into U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2014, the SICAD II exchange rate was 49.98 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. There have been few market transactions to date and we continue to evaluate the new SICAD II market.

Our Venezuelan operations produce a wide range of biscuit, cheese & grocery, confectionery and beverage products. Based on the currency exchange developments this quarter, we have reviewed our domestic and international sourcing of goods and services and the exchange rates we believe will be applicable. We evaluated the level of primarily raw material imports that we believe would continue to be sourced in exchange for U.S. dollars converted at the official 6.30 exchange rate. Our remaining imported goods and services would primarily be valued at the SICAD I exchange rate. Imports that do not currently qualify for either the official rate or SICAD I rate may be sourced at the SICAD II rate.

Table of Contents

We believe the SICAD I rate is the most appropriate rate to use as it is most representative of the various exchange rates at which U.S. dollars are currently available to our entire Venezuelan business. While some of our net monetary assets or liabilities qualify for settlement at the official exchange rate, other operations do not, and we have utilized both the SICAD I and SICAD II auction processes. In addition, there is significant uncertainty about our ability to secure approval for transactions and the limited availability of U.S. dollars offered at the official rate. As such, we believe it is more economically representative to use the SICAD I rate than the official rate to value our net monetary assets and translate future operating results.

As of March 31, 2014, we began to apply the SICAD I exchange rate to remeasure our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets, and we began translating our Venezuelan operating results at the new rate in the second quarter of 2014. On March 31, 2014, we recognized a $142 million currency remeasurement loss within selling, general and administrative expenses of our Latin America segment as a result of revaluing our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets from the official exchange rate of 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to the then-prevailing SICAD I exchange rate of 10.70 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the impact of the SICAD I rate change was not significant and there were no additional remeasurement charges recorded in operating income.

The following table sets forth net revenues for our Venezuelan operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (with the first quarter translated at the 6.30 official rate prior to the remeasurement), and cash, net monetary assets and net assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014 (translated at 10.70 bolivars to the U.S. dollar):

 

Venezuela operations

  

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Net Revenues    $155 million or 1.8% of consolidated net revenue

 

     

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

As of June 30, 2014

Cash    $261 million
Net Monetary Assets    $227 million
Net Assets    $460 million

The SICAD I and II rates are variable rates. Unlike the official rate that was devalued and fixed at 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, the SICAD I rate reflects currently offered rates based on recently cleared auction transactions, and the SICAD II rate reflects voluntary market-based currency exchange transactions cleared by the Central Bank of Venezuela. As such, these rates are expected to vary over time. If any of the rates, or application of the rates to our business, were to change, we may recognize additional currency losses or gains, which could be significant.

In light of the current difficult macroeconomic environment in Venezuela, we continue to monitor and actively manage our investment and exposures in Venezuela. We have taken protective measures against currency devaluation, such as converting monetary assets into non-monetary assets that we can use in our business. However, suitable protective measures have become less available and more expensive and may not be available to offset further currency devaluation that could occur.

Argentina. On January 23, 2014, the Central Bank of Argentina adjusted its currency policy, removed its currency stabilization measures and allowed the Argentine peso exchange rate to float relative to the U.S. dollar. On that day, the value of the Argentine peso relative to the U.S. dollar fell by 15%, and from December 31, 2013 through June 30, 2014, the value of the peso declined 25%. Further volatility and declines in the exchange rate are expected. Based on the current state of Argentine currency rules and regulations, the business environment remains challenging; however, we do not expect the existing controls and restrictions to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our Argentinian operations contributed approximately $170 million, or 2.0% of consolidated net revenues, in the three months and $340 million, or 2.0% of consolidated net revenues, in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Argentina is not designated as a highly-inflationary economy at this time for accounting purposes, so we continue to record currency translation adjustments within equity and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) to clarify the accounting for certain stock-based compensation grants in which a performance target can be achieved after a requisite service period is completed. Under this new guidance, entities are required to treat performance targets that affect vesting, and could be achieved after the requisite service period, as a performance condition. The performance targets are not reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the grants. Compensation cost is recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The new ASU outlines a new, single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from customer contracts, including significant judgments made in recognizing revenue. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited. The ASU may be applied retrospectively to historical periods presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2017 and are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on the reporting of discontinued operations. The guidance changed the definition of a discontinued operation to include dispositions that represent a strategic shift and have a major effect on operations and financial results. Strategic shifts may include the disposal of operations in a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major investment accounted for under the equity method or other major parts of an entity. For disposals that qualify, additional disclosures, including cash flow and balance sheet information for the discontinued operation, will be required. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. We will apply these provisions to prospective divestitures beginning in 2015, including the planned coffee business transactions. Please see Note 2, Divestitures and Acquisition – Planned Coffee Business Transactions, for additional information.

Note 2.  Divestitures and Acquisition

Planned Coffee Business Transactions:

On May 7, 2014, we announced that we entered into an agreement to combine our wholly owned coffee portfolio (outside of France) with D.E Master Blenders 1753 B.V. In conjunction with this transaction, Acorn Holdings B.V. (“AHBV”), owner of D.E Master Blenders 1753, has made a binding offer to receive our coffee business in France. The parties have also invited our partners in certain joint ventures to join the new company. The transactions remain subject to regulatory approvals and the completion of employee information and consultation requirements.

Upon completion of all proposed transactions, we will receive cash of approximately $5 billion and a 49 percent equity interest in the new company, to be called Jacobs Douwe Egberts. AHBV will hold a majority share in the proposed combined company and will have a majority of the seats on the board, which will be chaired by current D.E Master Blenders 1753 Chairman Bart Becht. AHBV is owned by an investor group led by JAB Holding Company s.à r.l. We will have certain minority rights.

The transactions are expected to be completed in the course of 2015, subject to limited closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. During this time, we and D.E Master Blenders 1753 will undertake consultations with all Works Councils and employee representatives as required in connection with the transactions.

Certain expenses related to readying the businesses for the planned transactions have been incurred. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the expenses totaled $12 million, of which $7 million was recorded in interest and other expense, net and $5 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Europe segment.

Spin-Off Costs following Kraft Foods Group Divestiture:

On October 1, 2012, we completed the Spin-Off of our North American grocery business, Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (“Kraft Foods Group”), to our shareholders (the “Spin-Off”). Following the Spin-Off, Kraft Foods Group is an independent public company and we do not beneficially own any shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock. We continue to incur primarily Spin-Off transition costs, and historically we have incurred Spin-Off transaction, transition and financing and related costs (“Spin-Off Costs”) in our operating results. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded $16 million of pre-tax Spin-Off Costs in the three months and $19 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $15 million in the three months and $24 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. In fiscal year 2014, we expect to incur approximately $30 million of Spin-Off Costs related primarily to customer service and logistics, information systems and processes, as well as legal costs associated with revising intellectual property and other long-term agreements.

Acquisition and Other Divestitures:

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we completed two divestitures within our EEMEA segment which generated cash proceeds of $48 million during the quarter and pre-tax gains of $6 million. The divestitures included a salty snacks business in Turkey and a confectionery business in South Africa. The aggregate operating results of these divestitures were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements during the periods presented.

On February 22, 2013, we acquired the remaining interest in a biscuit operation in Morocco, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary within our EEMEA segment. We paid net cash consideration of $119 million, consisting of $155 million purchase price net of cash acquired of $36 million. Prior to the acquisition, our interest in the operation was accounted for under the equity method. As a result of obtaining a controlling interest, we consolidated the operation and upon finalizing the valuation of the acquired net assets, as of December 31, 2013, we had recorded the fair value of acquired assets (including identifiable intangible assets of $48 million), the liabilities assumed and goodwill of $209 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we also recorded a pre-tax gain of $22 million related to the remeasurement of our previously-held equity interest in the operation to fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and acquisition costs of $7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest and other expense, net. We recorded integration charges of $2 million for the three months and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Non-amortizable intangible assets consist principally of brand names purchased through our acquisitions of Nabisco Holdings Corp., the Spanish and Portuguese operations of United Biscuits, the global LU biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A. and Cadbury Limited. Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements. At June 30, 2014, the weighted-average life of our amortizable intangible assets was 13.3 years.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $55 million for the three months and $109 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. We currently estimate annual amortization expense for each of the next five years to be approximately $217 million.

During our 2013 review of non-amortizable intangible assets, there were no impairments identified; however, we noted seven brands with $511 million of aggregate book value as of December 31, 2013 that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. While these intangible assets passed our annual impairment testing and we believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to continue to not be impaired, if expectations are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, then a brand or brands might become impaired in the future.

Note 6.  Restructuring Programs

2014-2018 Restructuring Program

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion restructuring program, comprised of approximately $2.5 billion in cash costs and $1 billion in non-cash costs (the “2014-2018 Restructuring Program”), and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. The primary objective of the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program is intended primarily to cover severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing-related one-time costs. We expect to incur the majority of the program’s charges in 2015 and 2016 and to complete the program by year-end 2018.

Restructuring Costs:

We recorded restructuring charges for cash severance and related costs of $1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 within asset impairment and exit costs. At June 30, 2014, there was no restructuring liability recorded related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program.

Implementation Costs:

Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. These 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. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements greater transparency to the total costs of our 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restructuring and Implementation Costs in Operating Income:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded restructuring and implementation costs related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program within operating income as follows:

2012-2014 Restructuring Program

In 2012, our Board of Directors approved $1.5 billion of restructuring and related implementation costs (the “2012-2014 Restructuring Program”) reflecting primarily severance, asset disposals and other manufacturing-related one-time costs. The primary objective of the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program was to ensure that Mondelēz International and Kraft Foods Group were each set up to operate efficiently and execute on our respective business strategies upon separation and in the future.

Of the $1.5 billion of 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs, we retained approximately $925 million and Kraft Foods Group retained the balance of the program. Since inception, we have incurred $579 million of our estimated $925 million total 2012-2014 Restructuring Program charges.

Restructuring Costs:

We recorded restructuring charges of $54 million in the three months and $96 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $48 million in the three months and $88 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 within asset impairment and exit costs.

We spent $38 million in the three months and $66 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 in cash severance and related costs. We also recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash settlements totaling $11 million in the three months and $24 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, our net restructuring liability was $74 million recorded within other current 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. These costs primarily include costs to reorganize our operations and facilities, the discontinuance of certain product lines and the incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, replicating our information systems infrastructure and reorganizing costs related to our sales function. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements greater transparency to the total costs of our 2012-2014 Restructuring Program. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $19 million in the three months and $43 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $7 million in the three months and $11 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Europe, North America and EEMEA segments.

Note 7.  Integration Program

As a result of our combination with Cadbury Limited (formerly, Cadbury Plc or “Cadbury”) in 2010, we launched an integration program (the “Integration Program”) to combine the Cadbury operations with our operations and realize expected annual cost savings of approximately $750 million by the end of 2013 and revenue synergies from investments in distribution, marketing and product development. We achieved cost savings of approximately $800 million in 2012, a year ahead of schedule, and achieved our planned revenue synergies in 2013. Through the end of 2013, we incurred total integration charges of approximately $1.5 billion and completed incurring planned charges on the Integration Program.

We recorded reversals of Integration Program charges of $3 million in the three months and $5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to accruals no longer required. We recorded Integration Program charges of $52 million during the three months and $73 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 in selling, general and administrative expenses within our Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and EEMEA segments. Changes in the remaining Integration Program liability during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were:

As of June 30, 2014, the commercial paper issued and outstanding had between 1 and 163 days remaining to maturity. Bank loans include borrowings on primarily uncommitted credit lines maintained by some of our international subsidiaries to meet short-term working capital needs.

Borrowing Arrangements:

We maintain a revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes and to support our commercial paper program. Our $4.5 billion four-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility expires on October 11, 2018. The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity of at least $24.6 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) and the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles. At June 30, 2014, we met the covenant as our shareholders’ equity as defined by the covenant was $35.0 billion. The revolving credit facility agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. As of June 30, 2014, no amounts were drawn on the facility.

Long-Term Debt:

On February 19, 2014, $500 million of our 6.75% U.S. dollar notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with cash on hand and the issuance of commercial paper.

On February 6, 2014, we completed a cash tender offer and retired $1.56 billion of our long-term U.S. dollar debt consisting of:

   

$393 million of our 7.000% Notes due in August 2037

   

$382 million of our 6.875% Notes due in February 2038

   

$250 million of our 6.875% Notes due in January 2039

   

$535 million of our 6.500% Notes due in February 2040

We financed the repurchase of these notes, including the payment of accrued interest and other costs incurred, from net proceeds received from the $3.0 billion notes issuance on January 16, 2014. In connection with retiring this debt, during the first six months of 2014, we recorded a $493 million loss on extinguishment of debt within interest expense related to the amount we paid to retire the debt in excess of its carrying value and from recognizing unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs in earnings at the time of the debt extinguishment. The loss on extinguishment is included in long-term debt repayments in the 2014 consolidated statement of cash flows. We also recognized $2 million in interest expense related to interest rate cash flow hedges that were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive losses and recognized into earnings over the life of the debt. Upon extinguishing the debt, the deferred cash flow hedge amounts were recorded in earnings.

On January 16, 2014, we issued $3.0 billion of U.S. dollar notes, consisting of:

   

$400 million of floating rate notes that bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.52% and mature on February 1, 2019

   

$850 million of 2.250% fixed rate notes that mature on February 1, 2019

   

$1,750 million of 4.000% fixed rate notes that mature on February 1, 2024

We received net proceeds of $2,982 million that were used to fund the February 2014 tender offer, pay down commercial paper borrowings and for other general corporate purposes. We recorded approximately $18 million of discounts and deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt was 4.2% as of June 30, 2014, following the completion of our tender offer and debt retirement in the first quarter of 2014. Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt as of December 31, 2013 was 4.8%, down from 5.8% as of December 31, 2012.

Fair Value of Our Debt:

The fair value of our short-term borrowings at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 reflects current market interest rates and approximates the amounts we have recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. 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 June 30, 2014, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $20,283 million and its carrying value was $18,541 million. At December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $18,835 million and its carrying value was $17,121 million.

Table of Contents

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges. Our exchange-traded derivatives are generally subject to master netting arrangements that permit net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty when certain criteria are met, such as in the event of default. We also are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of our open positions and the margin requirements generally fluctuate daily based on market conditions. We have recorded margin deposits related to our exchange-traded derivatives of $26 million as of June 30, 2014 and $22 million as of December 31, 2013 within other current assets. Based on our net asset or liability positions with individual counterparties, in the event of default and immediate net settlement of all of our open positions, as of June 30, 2014, our counterparties would owe us a total of $27 million, and as of December 31, 2013, our counterparties would owe us a total of $7 million.

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 (“ISDA”) agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our commodity OTC derivatives do not have a legal right of set-off. In connection with our OTC derivatives that could be net-settled in the event of default, assuming all parties were to fail to comply with the terms of the agreements, for derivatives we have in a net liability position, we would owe $77 million as of June 30, 2014 and $47 million as of December 31, 2013, and for derivatives we have in a net asset position, our counterparties would owe us a total of $176 million as of June 30, 2014 and $349 million as of December 31, 2013. 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.

  (1) Includes settlement losses of $9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 related to employees who elected to take lump-sum payments in connection with our 2012-2014 Restructuring Program. These costs are reflected within asset impairments and exit costs on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings and within the charges for severance and related costs in Note 6, Restructuring Programs – 2012-2014 Restructuring Program. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, these were partially offset by $4 million of gains due to improvements in current market rates for routine settlement losses. 

Employer Contributions:

We make contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans primarily to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we contributed $5 million to our U.S. plans and $196 million to our non-U.S. plans. Based on current tax law, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $5 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $113 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2014. However, our actual contributions may differ due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws or significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.

Note 11.  Stock Plans

On May 21, 2014, our shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). Under the amended plan, we now make grants to non-employee directors under the 2005 Plan, and we will no longer make any grants under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2006 Directors Plan”). We also increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan by 75.7 million, which includes the shares remaining available for issuance under the 2006 Directors Plan as of March 14, 2014. Under the 2005 Plan, we are now authorized to issue a maximum of 243.7 million shares of our Common Stock. We may not make any grants under the 2005 Plan after May 21, 2024. As of June 30, 2014, there were 90.1 million shares available to be granted under the 2005 Plan.

Stock Options:

In February 2014, as part of our annual equity program, we granted 9.9 million stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price of $34.17 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we granted 0.1 million of additional stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $34.12 per share. In total, 10.0 million stock options were granted with a weighted-average exercise price of $34.16 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 5.3 million stock options, with an intrinsic value of $79.1 million, were exercised.

Restricted and Deferred Stock:

In January 2014, in connection with our long-term incentive plan, we granted 1.2 million shares of restricted and deferred stock at a market value of $34.97 per share. In February 2014, as part of our annual equity program, we granted 2.0 million shares of restricted and deferred stock to eligible employees at a market value of $34.17 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 0.7 million of additional restricted and deferred shares with a weighted-average market value of $32.24 per share. In total, 3.9 million restricted and deferred shares were issued with a weighted-average market value of $34.05 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 3.9 million shares of restricted and deferred stock vested with a market value on the vesting date of $135.6 million.

Share Repurchase Program:

During 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $7.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2016. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repurchased 26.0 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $35.13 per share, or an aggregate cost of $0.9 billion, of which $0.7 billion was paid during the first half of 2014 and $0.2 billion was prepaid in December 2013 at the inception of an accelerated share repurchase program. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of June 30, 2014, we have $4.0 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

In December 2013, we initiated an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program. On December 3, 2013, we paid $1.7 billion and received an initial delivery of 44.8 million shares of Common Stock valued at $1.5 billion. We increased treasury stock by $1.5 billion, and the remaining $0.2 billion was recorded against additional paid in capital. In May 2014, the ASR program concluded and we received an additional 5.1 million shares, valued at $0.2 billion, for a total of 49.9 million shares with an average repurchase price of $34.10 per share over the life of the ASR program. The final settlement was based on the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock during the purchase period less a fixed per share discount. Upon conclusion of the ASR program and receipt of the remaining repurchased shares, the $0.2 billion recorded in additional paid in capital was reclassified to treasury stock.

Note 12.  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.

A compliant and ethical corporate culture, which includes adhering to laws and industry regulations in all jurisdictions in which we do business, is integral to our success. Accordingly, after we acquired Cadbury in February 2010 we began reviewing and adjusting, as needed, Cadbury’s operations in light of applicable standards as well as our policies and practices. We initially focused on such high priority areas as food safety, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and antitrust. Based upon Cadbury’s pre-acquisition policies and compliance programs and our post-acquisition reviews, our preliminary findings indicated that Cadbury’s overall state of compliance was sound. Nonetheless, through our reviews, we determined that in certain jurisdictions, including India, there appeared to be facts and circumstances warranting further investigation. We are continuing our investigations in certain jurisdictions, including in India, and we continue to cooperate with governmental authorities.

As we previously disclosed, on February 1, 2011, we received a subpoena from the SEC in connection with an investigation under the FCPA, primarily related to a facility in India that we acquired in the Cadbury acquisition. The subpoena primarily requests information regarding dealings with Indian governmental agencies and officials to obtain approvals related to the operation of that facility. We are continuing to cooperate with the U.S. and Indian governments in their investigations of these matters, including through preliminary meetings with the U.S. government to discuss potential conclusion of the investigation.

On February 28, 2013, Cadbury India Limited (now known as Mondelez India Foods Limited), a subsidiary of Mondelēz International, and other parties received a show cause notice from the Indian Department of Central Excise Authority (the “Excise Authority”). The notice calls upon the parties to demonstrate why the Excise Authority should not collect approximately $46 million of unpaid excise tax as well as approximately $46 million of penalties and interest related to production at the same Indian facility. Subsequently, the Excise Authority issued another show cause notice, dated March 3, 2014, on the same issue but covering the period February to December 2013, thereby adding approximately $20 million of unpaid excise taxes as well as approximately $20 million of penalties and interest to the amount claimed by the Excise Authority. The latest notice includes an accruing claim for excise as finished products leave the facility on an ongoing basis. We believe that the decision to claim the excise tax benefit is valid and we are contesting the show cause notice through the administrative and judicial process.

In April 2013, the staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) advised us and Kraft Foods Group that it was investigating activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the Spin-Off of Kraft Foods Group. We are cooperating with the staff in its investigation. In March 2014, the staff advised us that they are prepared to recommend that the CFTC consider commencing a formal action. We are seeking to resolve this matter prior to any formal action being taken. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this matter; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to predominantly bear any monetary penalties or other payments that the CFTC may impose.

While we cannot predict with certainty the results of any Legal Matters in which we are currently involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of these Legal Matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial results.

Third-Party Guarantees:

We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover the long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At June 30, 2014, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 14.  Income Taxes

See Note 1, Basis of Presentation – Revision of Financial Statements, for information related to the revision of income taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, as part of our ongoing remediation efforts related to the material weakness in internal controls over the accounting for income taxes, we recorded a number of out-of-period adjustments that had an immaterial benefit on the provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $5 million. The out-of-period adjustments were not material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior period.

Based on current tax laws, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2014 is 19.6%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, partially offset by the remeasurement of our Venezuelan net monetary assets. Our 2014 second quarter effective tax rate of 12.4% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $52 million of discrete one-time events, of which $37 million related to tax return to provision adjustments and $9 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of 7.5% was due to net tax benefits from discrete one-time events and lower pre-tax income due to the tender-related loss on debt extinguishment and the remeasurement of the Venezuela net monetary assets. Of the discrete net tax benefits of $104 million, $60 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions and $37 million related to tax return to provision adjustments.

As of the second quarter of 2013, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2013 was 19.7%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. Our 2013 second quarter effective tax rate of 4.4% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $93 million of discrete one-time events, of which $52 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions and $39 million was associated with a business divestiture. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of 3.5% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $186 million of discrete one-time events, of which, $132 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions and $39 million was associated with a business divestiture.

Note 16.  Segment Reporting

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

   

Latin America

   

Asia Pacific

   

EEMEA

   

Europe

   

North America

We manage the operations within Latin America, Asia Pacific and EEMEA by location and Europe and North America by product category.

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 or acquisitions 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 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:

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

Description of the Company

We manufacture and market primarily snack food and beverage products, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy, coffee & powdered beverages and various cheese & grocery products. We have operations in more than 80 countries and sell our products in approximately 165 countries.

Over the last several years, we have been expanding geographically and building our presence in the snacking category. At the same time, we continue investing in product quality, marketing and innovation behind our iconic brands, while implementing a series of cost saving initiatives. We expect our global snacks businesses will build upon our strong presence across numerous markets, categories and channels including the high-margin instant consumption channel. Our goal is to achieve industry-leading revenue growth, leverage our cost structure through supply chain reinvention, productivity programs, overhead streamlining, volume growth and improved product mix to drive margin gains and grow earnings per share in the top-tier of our peer group.

Planned Coffee Business Transactions

On May 7, 2014, we announced that we have entered into an agreement to combine our wholly owned coffee portfolio (outside of France) with D.E Master Blenders 1753 B.V. In conjunction with this transaction, Acorn Holdings B.V. (“AHBV”), owner of D.E Master Blenders 1753, has made a binding offer to receive our coffee business in France. The parties have also invited our partners in certain joint ventures to join the new company. The transactions remain subject to regulatory approvals and the completion of employee information and consultation requirements.

Upon completion of all proposed transactions, we will receive cash of approximately $5 billion and a 49 percent equity interest in the new company, to be called Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”). AHBV will hold a majority share in the proposed combined company and will have a majority of the seats on the board, which will be chaired by current D.E Master Blenders 1753 Chairman Bart Becht. AHBV is owned by an investor group led by JAB Holding Company s.à r.l. We will have certain minority rights.

The transactions are expected to be completed in the course of 2015, subject to limited closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. During this time, we and D.E Master Blenders 1753 will undertake consultations with all Works Councils and employee representatives as required in connection with the transactions.

Certain expenses related to readying the businesses for the planned transactions (the “JDE coffee transactions”) have been incurred. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the expenses totaled $12 million, of which $7 million was recorded in interest and other expense, net and $5 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Europe segment.

2014-2018 Restructuring Program

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion restructuring program, comprised of approximately $2.5 billion in cash costs and $1 billion in non-cash costs (the “2014-2018 Restructuring Program”), and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. The primary objective of the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. We expect the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program to generate annualized savings of at least $1.5 billion by the program’s completion at the end of 2018. Lower overheads and accelerated supply chain cost reductions are each expected to generate roughly half of the total incremental savings. We expect to incur the majority of the program’s charges in 2015 and 2016 and to complete the program by year-end 2018. The $2.2 billion of capital expenditures to support the restructuring program is included within our capital expenditure guidance of approximately 5 percent of net revenues for the next few years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded restructuring and related implementation charges of $10 million. For additional information on the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, see Note 6, Restructuring Programs.

Revision of Financial Statements

In finalizing our 2013 results, we identified certain out-of-period, non-cash, income tax-related errors in prior interim and annual periods. These errors were not material to any previously reported financial results; however, we revised our 2013 interim and prior-year financial statements and accompanying notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, to reflect these items in the appropriate periods. The impact of the revision was a reduction of net earnings of $15 million for the three months and $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. For additional details about the adjustments, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation – Revision of Financial Statements. For additional information about the procedures and controls we are also implementing, see Item 4, Controls and Procedures. The following discussion and analysis relates to after-tax results that were revised for the prior-periods presented.

Summary of Results and Other Highlights

 

   

Net revenues decreased 1.8% to $8.4 billion in the second quarter of 2014 and decreased 1.5% to $17.1 billion in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

 

   

Organic Net Revenue increased 1.2% to $8.7 billion in the second quarter of 2014 and increased 2.0% to $17.6 billion in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Organic Net Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate our underlying results (see the definition of Organic Net Revenue and our reconciliation with net revenues within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section). For the periods presented, Organic Net Revenue excludes the impact of currency, divestitures and an acquisition.

 

   

Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International increased 9.1% to $0.36 in the second quarter of 2014 and decreased 27.0% to $0.46 in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. As further discussed below, a number of items affected the comparability of our results, including the impact of Venezuela currency exchange developments that resulted in currency remeasurement charges of $142 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $54 million in the first quarter of 2013. Also, in connection with the debt tender offer that we completed in February 2014, we recorded $495 million in debt extinguishment and related expenses in the first six months of 2014.

 

   

Adjusted EPS increased 11.1% to $0.40 in the second quarter of 2014 and increased 9.7% to $0.79 in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 19.4% to $0.43 in the second quarter of 2014 and increased 15.3% to $0.83 in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate our underlying results (see the definition of Adjusted EPS and our reconciliation with diluted EPS within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section). Adjusted EPS includes diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International and, for the periods presented, excludes: Spin-Off Costs, 2012-2014 Restructuring Program and 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs, Integration Program and other acquisition integration costs, impact of net monetary asset remeasurements in Venezuela, a loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses, costs associated with the JDE coffee transactions, net earnings from divestitures, net gains on acquisition and divestitures and acquisition-related costs. We also evaluate Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis as further noted in our discussion and analysis of historical results below.

 

   

As a result of recent Venezuelan currency exchange developments and the expected impact on our Venezuelan operations, we remeasured our Venezuelan bolivar-denominated net monetary assets as of March 31, 2014 from the official exchange rate of 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to the then-prevailing SICAD I exchange rate of 10.70 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. We recognized a $142 million currency remeasurement loss within selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, the impact of the SICAD I rate change was not significant and there were no additional remeasurement charges recorded in operating income. In the three months ended June 30, 2013, we also recorded a $54 million currency remeasurement loss related to the devaluation of our net monetary assets in Venezuela at that time. The impact of the remeasurement, both in the current and prior year, is no longer included in our non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS. We continue to monitor developments in the currency and actively manage our investment and exposures in Venezuela. If any of the rates, or application of the rates to our business, were to change, we may recognize additional currency losses or gains, which could be significant. Refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation — Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting, for additional information.

 

   

On February 19, 2014, $500 million of our 6.75% U.S. dollar notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with cash on hand and the issuance of commercial paper.

 

   

On February 6, 2014, we completed a cash tender offer and retired $1.6 billion of our outstanding higher coupon U.S. dollar debt. In connection with retiring this debt, during the first six months of 2014, we recorded a $495 million loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses related to the amount we paid to retire the debt in excess of its carrying value and from recognizing unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs in earnings at the time of the debt extinguishment.

 

29


Table of Contents
   

On January 16, 2014, we issued $3.0 billion of U.S. dollar notes that generated approximately $3.0 billion of net cash proceeds, which were used in part to fund the February 2014 tender offer and for other general corporate purposes. In January 2014, we also recorded approximately $18 million of discounts and deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

 

   

During 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $7.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2016 under a share repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repurchased $0.9 billion, or 26.0 million shares, of Common Stock at an average cost of $35.13 per share. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of June 30, 2014, we have $4.0 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Financial Outlook

Our long-term financial targets include:

 

   

Organic Net Revenue growth at or above expected category growth

   

Adjusted Operating Income growth of high single-digits on a constant currency basis

   

Double-digit Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis

Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section for more information on these measures.

Over the last three quarters, growth in the global food categories in which we sell our products has slowed significantly, due largely to macroeconomic issues impacting our consumers, particularly in emerging markets. We anticipate this slowdown will continue in the near term. Additionally, we may realize some dislocation as we increase prices to cover input cost inflation.

In 2014, we expect Organic Net Revenue growth to be 2% to 2.5%. Based on this outlook, we expect high single-digit growth in Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis and high 12 percent range for our Adjusted Operating Income margin. We continue to expect Adjusted EPS of $1.73 to $1.78, up double digits on a constant currency basis. Our 2014 Adjusted EPS outlook reflects average 2013 currency rates.

Discussion and Analysis

Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results

Remeasurement of Venezuelan Net Monetary Assets

As a result of recent Venezuelan currency exchange developments and the expected impact on our Venezuelan operations, on March 31, 2014, we remeasured our Venezuelan bolivar-denominated net monetary assets from the official exchange rate of 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to the then-prevailing SICAD I exchange rate of 10.70 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. We recognized a $142 million currency remeasurement loss within selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we also recorded a $54 million currency remeasurement loss related to the devaluation of our net monetary assets in Venezuela at that time. Note that the impact of the current and prior-year remeasurements is included in our GAAP results and excluded from our non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS financial measures.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the impact of the SICAD I rate change was not significant and there were no additional remeasurement charges recorded in operating income. As of June 30, 2014, our remaining bolivar-denominated net monetary assets were $227 million. Our Venezuela net revenues were approximately $155 million, or 1.8% of consolidated net revenues, in the second quarter of 2014 and approximately $392 million, or 2.3% of consolidated net revenues, in the first half of 2014 (with the first quarter translated at the 6.30 official rate prior to the 2014 remeasurement). If any of the rates, or application of the rates to our business, were to change, we may recognize additional currency losses or gains, which could be significant. Refer to Note 1, Basis of PresentationCurrency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting, for additional information.

Tender Offer and Debt Issuance

On February 6, 2014, we completed a cash tender offer and retired $1.6 billion of our outstanding higher coupon U.S. dollar debt. In the first six months of 2014, we recorded a $495 million loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses related to the amount we paid to retire the debt in excess of its carrying value and from recognizing unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs in earnings at the time of the debt extinguishment. See Note 8, Debt, for additional information.

On January 16, 2014, we issued $3.0 billion of U.S. dollar notes that generated approximately $3.0 billion of net cash proceeds, which were used in part to fund the February 2014 tender offer and for other general corporate purposes. In January 2014, we also recorded approximately $18 million of discounts and deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt was 4.2% as of June 30, 2014, following the completion of our tender offer and debt retirement in the first quarter of 2014. Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt as of December 31, 2013 was 4.8%, down from 5.8% as of December 31, 2012.

2012-2014 Restructuring Program

In 2012, our Board of Directors approved $1.5 billion of restructuring and related implementation costs (the “2012-2014 Restructuring Program”) reflecting primarily severance, asset disposals and other manufacturing-related one-time costs. The primary objective of the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program was to ensure that Mondelēz International and Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (“Kraft Foods Group”) were each set up to operate efficiently and execute on our respective business strategies upon separation and in the future.

Of the $1.5 billion of 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs, we retained approximately $925 million and Kraft Foods Group retained the balance of the program. Since inception, we have incurred $579 million of our estimated $925 million total 2012-2014 Restructuring Program charges.

We recorded restructuring charges of $54 million for the three months and $96 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $48 million for the three months and $88 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 within asset impairment and exit costs. We also incurred implementation costs of $19 million for the three months and $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $7 million for the three months and $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which were recorded within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. See Note 6, Restructuring Programs – 2012-2014 Restructuring Program, for additional information.

Integration Program

As a result of our combination with Cadbury Limited (formerly, Cadbury Plc or “Cadbury”) in 2010, we launched an integration program (the “Integration Program”) to combine the Cadbury operations with our operations and realize annual cost savings of approximately $750 million by the end of 2013 and revenue synergies from investments in distribution, marketing and product development. We achieved cost savings of approximately $800 million in 2012, a year ahead of schedule, and achieved our planned revenue synergies in 2013. Through the end of 2013, we incurred total integration charges of approximately $1.5 billion and completed incurring planned charges on the Integration Program.

We recorded reversals of Integration Program charges of $3 million in the three months and $5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to accruals no longer required. We recorded Integration Program charges of $52 million for the three months and $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 in selling, general and administrative expenses within our Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and EEMEA segments. At June 30, 2014, we had a remaining accrued liability of $88 million related to the Integration Program, of which $50 million was recorded within other current liabilities and $38 million, primarily related to leased facilities no longer in use, was recorded within other long-term liabilities. See Note 7, Integration Program, for additional information.

Spin-Off Costs following Kraft Foods Group Divestiture

On October 1, 2012, we completed the Spin-Off of our North American grocery business, Kraft Foods Group, to our shareholders (the “Spin-Off”). Following the Spin-Off, Kraft Foods Group is an independent public company and we do not beneficially own any shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock. We continue to incur primarily Spin-Off transition costs, and historically we have incurred Spin-Off transaction, transition and financing and related costs (“Spin-Off Costs”) in our operating results. We recorded $16 million of pre-tax Spin-Off Costs in the three months and $19 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $15 million in the three months and $24 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. In fiscal year 2014, we expect to incur approximately $30 million of Spin-Off Costs related primarily to customer service and logistics, information systems and processes, as well as legal costs associated with revising intellectual property and other long-term agreements.

Table of Contents

Divestitures and Acquisition

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we completed two divestitures within our EEMEA segment which generated cash proceeds of $48 million during the quarter and pre-tax gains of $6 million. The divestitures included a salty snacks business in Turkey and a confectionery business in South Africa. The aggregate operating results of these divestitures were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements during the periods presented.

On February 22, 2013, we acquired the remaining interest in a biscuit operation in Morocco, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary within our EEMEA segment. We paid net cash consideration of $119 million, consisting of $155 million purchase price net of cash acquired of $36 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we also recorded a pre-tax gain of $22 million related to the remeasurement of our previously-held equity interest in the operation to fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recorded acquisition costs of $7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest and other expense, net during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We recorded integration charges of $2 million for the three months and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our income tax provision could be significantly affected by a shift in pre-tax income between non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, from non-U.S. tax jurisdictions to the U.S. or by changes in non-U.S. or U.S. tax laws and regulations that apply to the earnings of subsidiaries outside of the United States as well as other factors. At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, our best estimate of operating results and currency exchange rates. However, in arriving at this estimate, we do not include the estimated impact of discrete one-time events. Examples of items which are not included in the estimated annual effective tax rate include subsequent recognition, derecognition and measurement of tax positions taken in previous periods.

Based on current tax laws, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2014 is 19.6%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, partially offset by the remeasurement of our Venezuelan net monetary assets. Our 2014 second quarter effective tax rate of 12.4% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $52 million of discrete one-time events, of which $37 million related to tax return to provision adjustments and $9 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of 7.5% was due to net tax benefits from discrete one-time events and lower pre-tax income due to the tender-related loss on debt extinguishment and the remeasurement of the Venezuela net monetary assets. Of the discrete net tax benefits of $104 million, $60 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions and $37 million related to tax return to provision adjustments.

As of the second quarter of 2013, our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2013 was 19.7%, reflecting favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. Our 2013 second quarter effective tax rate of 4.4% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $93 million of discrete one-time events, of which $52 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions and $39 million was associated with a business divestiture. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of 3.5% was favorably impacted by net tax benefits from $186 million of discrete one-time events, of which, $132 million related to favorable tax audit settlements and expirations of statutes of limitations in several jurisdictions and $39 million was associated with a business divestiture.

See Note 1, Basis of Presentation – Revision of Financial Statements, for information related to the revision of income taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, as part of our ongoing remediation efforts related to the material weakness in internal controls over the accounting for income taxes, we recorded a number of out-of-period adjustments that had an immaterial benefit on the provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $5 million. The out-of-period adjustments were not material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior period.

Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing in Latin America (primarily Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil), EEMEA, Asia Pacific and North America was partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe due to lower coffee prices. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven primarily by lower shipments in Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America. Unfavorable currency impacts decreased net revenues by $247 million, due primarily to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar in March 2014 and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several foreign currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Ukrainian hryvnya, Brazilian real, Russian ruble, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strength of the euro and British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar. The impact of divestitures completed in 2013 resulted in a year-over-year decrease in net revenues of $14 million.

During the quarter, higher net pricing outpaced increased input costs. Higher net pricing in Latin America, EEMEA, Asia Pacific and North America was partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe due to lower coffee pricing. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, in part due to higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven primarily by Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe, partially offset by EEMEA and North America.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $231 million from the second quarter of 2013, due in part to a favorable currency impact, lower Integration Program costs and the absence of costs related to businesses divested in 2013, which were partially offset by costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, higher 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs and costs incurred related to the JDE coffee transactions. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $167 million from the second quarter of 2013, driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and lower overhead costs. Advertising and consumer promotion costs were lower in the current year due to the timing of significant prior-year investments, savings through consolidating media providers, reduction in non-working media costs and efficiencies gained by shifting spending to lower-cost, digital media outlets. Overhead costs fell as a result of continued cost management efforts.

The change in unrealized gains / (losses) decreased operating income by $78 million for the second quarter of 2014 and relates to currency and commodity hedging activity. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the change in unrealized gains / (losses) was a net loss of $54 million as compared to a net gain of $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Unfavorable currency impacts decreased operating income by $35 million, due primarily to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar in 2014 and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several foreign currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Ukrainian hryvnya, Brazilian real, Russian ruble and Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strength of the euro and British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar.

Operating income margin increased from 10.1% in the second quarter of 2013 to 11.3% in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 11.4% in the second quarter of 2013 to 12.6% in the second quarter of 2014. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income margin was driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs due to timing of prior-year investments and current year productivity initiatives and lower overhead costs from continued cost management efforts, partially offset by a decline in gross profit margin due entirely to the unfavorable impact of unrealized gains / (losses) from commodity and currency hedging activities.

Net Earnings and Earnings per Share Attributable to Mondelēz International – Net earnings attributable to Mondelēz International of $622 million increased by $21 million (3.5%) in the second quarter of 2014. Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International was $0.36 in the second quarter of 2014, up $0.03 (9.1%) from the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted EPS (1) was $0.40 in the second quarter of 2014, up $0.04 (11.1%) from the second quarter of 2013.

Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing in Latin America (primarily Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil), EEMEA, North America and Asia Pacific was partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe due to lower coffee prices. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven primarily by lower shipments in Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America, partially offset by higher shipments in North America and EEMEA. Unfavorable currency impacts decreased net revenues by $571 million, due primarily to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar in February 2013 and March 2014 and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several foreign currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Brazilian real, Russian ruble, Australian dollar, Ukrainian hryvnya, Indian rupee and Canadian dollar, partially offset by the strength of the euro and British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar. The impact of divestitures completed in 2013 resulted in a year-over-year decrease in net revenues of $48 million. The acquisition of a biscuit operation in Morocco on February 22, 2013 added $14 million in incremental net revenues this year for the period prior to the anniversary date of the acquisition.

During the first six months of 2014, higher net pricing outpaced increased input costs. Higher net pricing in Latin America, EEMEA, North America and Asia Pacific was partially offset by lower net pricing in Europe due to lower coffee pricing. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, in part due to higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe, partially offset by EEMEA and North America.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $298 million from the first six months of 2013, due in part to a favorable currency impact, lower Integration Program costs, lower Spin-Off Costs, a gain on a sale of property in 2014 and the absence of costs related to businesses divested in 2013, which were partially offset by the year-over-year negative impact from the devaluation of our net monetary assets in Venezuela in both 2014 and 2013, higher 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs, costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program and costs incurred related to the JDE coffee transactions. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $236 million from the first six months of 2013, driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and lower overhead costs. Advertising and consumer promotion costs were lower in the current year due to the timing of significant prior-year investments, savings through consolidating media providers, reduction in non-working media costs and efficiencies gained by shifting spending to lower-cost, digital media outlets. Overhead costs fell as a result of continued cost management efforts.

The change in unrealized gains / (losses) decreased operating income by $90 million for the first six months of 2014 and relates to currency and commodity hedging activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the change in unrealized gains / (losses) was a net loss of $47 million, primarily due to currency hedging activity, as compared to a net gain of $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In the first six months of 2014, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $7 million related to a property in Europe. The acquisition of a biscuit operation in Morocco on February 22, 2013 added $3 million in incremental operating income this year for the period prior to the anniversary of the acquisition.

Unfavorable currency impacts decreased operating income by $74 million, due primarily to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar in 2013 and 2014 and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several foreign currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Russian ruble and Ukrainian hryvnya, partially offset by the strength of the euro and British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar.

Operating income margin increased from 9.8% in the first six months of 2013 to 10.5% in the first six months of 2014. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 11.1% in the first six months of 2013 to 12.4% in the first six months of 2014. The increase in Adjusted Operating Income margin was driven primarily by lower advertising and consumer promotion costs due to timing of prior-year investments and current year productivity initiatives and lower overhead costs from continued cost management efforts, partially offset by a decline in gross profit margin due entirely to the unfavorable impact of unrealized gains / (losses) on currency and commodity hedging activities.

As discussed in Note 16, Segment Reporting, management uses 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 acquisitions 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 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.

In connection with our 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, we recorded restructuring charges of $1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 in operations as part of asset impairment and exit costs. We also recorded implementation costs of $9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 in operations as a part of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. These charges were recorded within our Latin America segment and general corporate expenses.

In connection with our 2012-2014 Restructuring Program, we recorded restructuring charges of $54 million during the three months and $96 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $48 million during the three months and $88 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 in operations, as a part of asset impairment and exit costs. We also recorded implementation costs of $19 million during the three months and $43 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $7 million during the three months and $11 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 in operations, as a part of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. These charges were recorded primarily within our Europe, North America and EEMEA segments.

In connection with our Integration Program, we recorded reversals of Integration Program charges of $3 million during the three months and $5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to accruals no longer required. We recorded charges of $52 million during the three months and $73 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2014, $50 million of our net Integration Program liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $38 million, primarily related to leased facilities no longer in use, was recorded within other long-term liabilities. We recorded charges in the Integration Program in operations, as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and EEMEA segments.

On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the official Venezuelan bolivar exchange rate from 4.30 bolivars to 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar and the elimination of the second-tier, government-regulated SITME exchange rate previously applied to value certain types of transactions. In connection with the announced changes, we recorded a $54 million currency remeasurement loss related to the devaluation of our net monetary assets in Venezuela within selling, general and administrative expenses in our Latin America segment during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

On January 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of the auction-based currency transaction program referred to as SICAD or SICAD I and new profit margin controls. The application of the SICAD I rate was extended to include foreign investments and significant operating activities, including contracts for leasing and services, use and exploitation of patents and trademarks, payments of royalties and contracts for technology import and technical assistance. As of June 30, 2014, the SICAD I exchange rate was 10.60 bolivars to the U.S. dollar.

Additionally, on March 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government launched a new market-based currency exchange market, SICAD II. SICAD II may be used voluntarily to exchange bolivars into U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2014, the SICAD II exchange rate was 49.98 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. There have been few market transactions to date and we continue to evaluate the new SICAD II market.

Our Venezuelan operations produce a wide range of biscuit, cheese & grocery, confectionery and beverage products. Based on the currency exchange developments this quarter, we have reviewed our domestic and international sourcing of goods and services and the exchange rates we believe will be applicable. We evaluated the level of primarily raw material imports that we believe would continue to be sourced in exchange for U.S. dollars converted at the official 6.30 exchange rate. Our remaining imported goods and services would primarily be valued at the SICAD I exchange rate. Imports that do not currently qualify for either the official rate or SICAD I rate may be sourced at the SICAD II rate.

We believe the SICAD I rate is the most appropriate rate to use as it is most representative of the various exchange rates at which U.S. dollars are currently available to our entire Venezuelan business. While some of our net monetary assets or liabilities qualify for settlement at the official exchange rate, other operations do not, and we have utilized both the SICAD I and SICAD II auction processes. In addition, there is significant uncertainty about our ability to secure approval for transactions and the limited availability of U.S. dollars offered at the official rate. As such, we believe it is more economically representative to use the SICAD I rate than the official rate to value our net monetary assets and translate future operating results.

As of March 31, 2014, we began to apply the SICAD I exchange rate to remeasure our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets, and we began translating our Venezuelan operating results at the new rate in the second quarter of 2014. On March 31, 2014, we recognized a $142 million currency remeasurement loss within selling, general and administrative

expenses of our Latin America segment as a result of revaluing our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets from the official exchange rate of 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to the then-prevailing SICAD I exchange rate of 10.70 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the impact of the SICAD I rate change was not significant and there were no additional remeasurement charges recorded in operating income.

The following table sets forth net revenues for our Venezuelan operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (with the first quarter translated at the 6.30 official rate prior to the remeasurement), and cash, net monetary assets and net assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014 (translated at 10.70 bolivars to the U.S. dollar):

The SICAD I and II rates are variable rates. Unlike the official rate that was devalued and fixed at 6.30 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, the SICAD I rate reflects currently offered rates based on recently cleared auction transactions, and the SICAD II rate reflects voluntary market-based currency exchange transactions cleared by the Central Bank of Venezuela. As such, these rates are expected to vary over time. If any of the rates, or application of the rates to our business, were to change, we may recognize additional currency losses or gains, which could be significant.

In light of the current difficult macroeconomic environment in Venezuela, we continue to monitor and actively manage our investment and exposures in Venezuela. We have taken protective measures against currency devaluation, such as converting monetary assets into non-monetary assets that we can use in our business. However, suitable protective measures have become less available and more expensive and may not be available to offset further currency devaluation that could occur.

On January 23, 2014, the Central Bank of Argentina adjusted its currency policy, removed its currency stabilization measures and allowed the Argentine peso exchange rate to float relative to the U.S. dollar. On that day, the value of the Argentine peso relative to the U.S. dollar fell by 15%, and from December 31, 2013 through June 30, 2014, the value of the peso declined 25%. Further volatility and declines in the exchange rate are expected. Based on the current state of Argentine currency rules and regulations, the business environment remains challenging; however, we do not expect the existing controls and restrictions to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our Argentinian operations contributed approximately $170 million, or 2.0% of consolidated net revenues, in the three months and $340 million, or 2.0% of consolidated net revenues, in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Argentina is not designated as a highly-inflationary economy at this time for accounting purposes, so we continue to record currency translation adjustments within equity and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we completed two divestitures within our EEMEA segment which generated cash proceeds of $48 million and pre-tax gains of $6 million. The divestitures included a salty snacks business in Turkey and a confectionery business in South Africa. The aggregate operating results of these divestitures were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements during the periods presented.

On February 22, 2013, we acquired the remaining interest in a biscuit operation in Morocco, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary within our EEMEA segment. We paid net cash consideration of $119 million, consisting of $155 million purchase price net of cash acquired of $36 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we also recorded a pre-tax gain of $22 million related to the remeasurement of our previously-held equity interest in the operation to fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and acquisition costs of $7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest and other expense, net. We recorded integration charges of $2 million for the three months and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net changes in unrealized gains / (losses) relate to currency and commodity hedging activity and were $(54) million for the three months and $(47) million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $24 million for the three months and $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Once realized, the gains or losses are reclassified to segment operating income.

The $13 million decrease in general corporate expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to lower corporate functions/project expenses and other general corporate expenses, partially offset by implementation costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. Corporate functions/project expenses decreased $12 million from $56 million to $44 million, primarily due to certain personnel-related support costs that were migrated to our North America segment. The $10 million decrease in general corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to lower Spin-Off Costs and lower other general corporate expenses, partially offset by implementation costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program and higher corporate functions/project expenses. Spin-Off Costs within general corporate expenses decreased $7 million from $24 million to $17 million. Implementation costs incurred for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program of $8 million were charged to general corporate expense. Corporate functions/project expenses increased $1 million from $109 million to $110 million, driven by charges due to an unclaimed property liability and a legal matter, mostly offset by certain personnel-related support costs that were migrated to our North America segment and continued costs management efforts.

The $11 million decrease in interest and other expense, net in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to lower interest expense due to recently refinanced long-term debt. The $430 million increase in interest and other expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to the $495 million loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses, partially offset by lower interest expense due to recently refinanced long-term debt.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $97 million (7.2%), due to unfavorable currency (19.0 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (6.9 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (18.7 pp). Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the Venezuelan bolivar devaluation in March 2014 and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Argentinean peso and Brazilian real. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven primarily by Mexico, Venezuela and Argentina, partially offset by gains in Brazil (including a benefit from the later timing of Easter) and the Western Andean countries. Higher net pricing was reflected primarily in higher inflationary countries, Venezuela and Argentina, as well as in Brazil and Mexico.

Segment operating income decreased $22 million (13.6%), due primarily to higher raw material costs, unfavorable volume/mix, unfavorable currency and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher net pricing and lower other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $139 million (5.1%), due to unfavorable currency (18.4 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (4.0 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (17.3 pp).

Net revenues decreased $31 million (3.0%), due to unfavorable currency (9.2 pp) and the impact of divestitures (0.1 pp), partially offset by favorable volume/mix (3.3 pp) and higher net pricing (3.0 pp). Unfavorable currency impacts were due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies in the region, primarily the Ukrainian hryvnya, Russian ruble, Turkish lira and South African rand. Divestitures completed in 2013 resulted in a $1 million decline in net revenues. Favorable volume/mix was driven primarily by the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) countries and Turkey. Higher net pricing was reflected across most of the segment, primarily in Russia and Turkey.

Segment operating income increased $34 million (30.4%), due primarily to higher net pricing, the absence of Integration Program costs in 2014, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, lower manufacturing costs, favorable volume/mix and lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher raw material costs, unfavorable currency and higher 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $56 million (2.9%), due to unfavorable currency (9.7 pp) and the impact of divestitures (1.0 pp), partially offset by favorable volume/mix (4.3 pp), higher net pricing (2.7 pp) and the impact of the February 2013 acquisition of a biscuit operation in Morocco (0.8 pp). Unfavorable currency impacts were due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies in the region, primarily the Russian ruble, Ukrainian hryvnya, South African rand and Turkish lira. Divestitures completed in 2013 resulted in a $20 million decline in net revenues. Favorable volume/mix was driven primarily by the GCC countries, Russia and Turkey. Higher net pricing was reflected across most of the segment, primarily in Turkey and Russia. The acquisition of a biscuit operation in Morocco in February 2013 added $14 million in incremental net revenues for the first six months of 2014 for the period prior to the anniversary date of the acquisition.

Segment operating income increased $37 million (21.4%), due primarily to higher net pricing, favorable volume/mix, lower manufacturing costs, the absence of Integration Program costs in 2014, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and the impact of 2013 divestitures, partially offset by higher raw material costs, unfavorable currency, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses and higher 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs.

Favorable currency impacts primarily reflected the strength of the euro and British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar. Unfavorable volume/mix, net of the benefit from the later timing of Easter, was driven primarily by lower shipments in chocolate and gum & candy, partially offset by favorable product mix in coffee. Lower net pricing was driven primarily by coffee, which reflected the pass-through of lower green coffee costs, partially offset by higher net pricing in chocolate. Divestitures completed in 2013 resulted in a $3 million decline in net revenues.

Segment operating income increased $94 million (25.5%), due primarily to lower manufacturing costs, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, favorable currency and lower Integration Program costs (including the reversal of a prior-year accrual), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, higher 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs, lower net pricing and costs associated with the JDE coffee transactions.

Unfavorable currency impact was due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar. Divestitures completed in 2013 resulted in a $22 million decline in net revenues.

Segment operating income increased $108 million (29.7%), due primarily to higher net pricing, lower raw material costs, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, favorable volume/mix and lower advertising and consumer promotion costs, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and the impact of divestitures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that cash from operations, our $4.5 billion revolving credit facility (which supports our commercial paper program) and our authorized long-term financing will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, future contractual obligations, share repurchases and payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends. We continue to maintain investment grade credit ratings on our debt. We continue to utilize our commercial paper program, primarily uncommitted international credit lines and long-term debt issuances for regular funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity, including the indefinite reinvestment of our earnings outside of the United States. In Venezuela, we consider all undistributed earnings to be indefinitely reinvested and access to cash of $261 million in Venezuela to be limited due to the uncertain economic and political environment. We do not expect this limitation to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. Refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation — Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting, for additional information.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities:

During the first six months of 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $368 million, compared with $418 million provided in the first six months of 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to higher working capital costs, mainly due to higher income taxes paid in 2014 related to the resolution of the Starbucks arbitration in the fourth quarter of 2013, partially offset by the lengthening of days that payables are outstanding, lower interest payments and acceleration of accounts receivable collection and increased earnings on a cash basis.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities:

During the first six months of 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $698 million, compared with $582 million used in the first six months of 2013. In the first half of 2014 and 2013, net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of capital expenditures, with an increase in 2014 related to building new plants, modernizing manufacturing facilities and launching new productivity initiatives. Net cash used in 2013 also included cash paid in connection with the 2013 acquisition of a biscuit operation in Morocco, partially offset by cash received from Kraft Foods Group related to the Spin-Off and proceeds from divestitures in 2013.

We expect 2014 capital expenditures to be up to $2.0 billion, including capital expenditures required for investments in systems, the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program and the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, including the acceleration of the supply chain reinvention program. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures from operations and commercial paper issuances.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities:

During the first six months of 2014, net cash used in financing activities was $163 million, compared with $1,728 million used in the first six months of 2013. Net cash used in financing activities decreased primarily due to the issuance of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2014 and issuances of commercial paper in the first and second quarters of 2014, offset in part by an increase in long-term debt repaid, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings repaid and share repurchases.

Borrowing Arrangements:

We maintain a revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital requirements and to support our commercial paper program. Our $4.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility expires on October 11, 2018. The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity of at least $24.6 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) and the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles. At June 30, 2014, we met the covenant as our shareholders’ equity as defined by the covenant was $35.0 billion. The revolving credit agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. As of June 30, 2014, no amounts were drawn on the facility.

Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2014 and $1.8 billion at December 31, 2013. Borrowings on these lines amounted to $362 million at June 30, 2014 and $226 million at December 31, 2013.

Long-Term Debt:

We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt and recently refinanced $6.4 billion of our long-term U.S. dollar denominated debt for lower cost long-term euro and U.S. dollar-denominated debt. We continued to use lower cost short and long-term debt to finance our ongoing working capital, capital and other investments, dividends and share

repurchases. Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt as of December 31, 2013 was 4.8%, down from 5.8% as of December 31, 2012. Following the completion of our tender offer and debt retirement in the first quarter of 2014, our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt as of June 30, 2014 was 4.2%.

On February 19, 2014, $500 million of our 6.75% U.S. dollar notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with cash on hand and the issuance of commercial paper.

On February 6, 2014, we completed a cash tender offer and retired $1.56 billion of our long-term U.S. dollar debt consisting of:

   

$393 million of our 7.000% Notes due in August 2037

   

$382 million of our 6.875% Notes due in February 2038

   

$250 million of our 6.875% Notes due in January 2039

   

$535 million of our 6.500% Notes due in February 2040

We financed the repurchase of these notes, including the payment of accrued interest and other costs incurred, from net proceeds received from the $3.0 billion notes issuance on January 16, 2014. In connection with retiring this debt, during the first six months of 2014, we recorded a $493 million loss on extinguishment of debt within interest expense related to the amount we paid to retire the debt in excess of its carrying value and from recognizing unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs in earnings at the time of the debt extinguishment. The loss on extinguishment is included in long-term debt repayments in the 2014 consolidated statement of cash flows. We also recognized $2 million in interest expense related to interest rate cash flow hedges that were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive losses and recognized into earnings over the life of the debt. Upon extinguishing the debt, the deferred cash flow hedge amounts were recorded in earnings.

On January 16, 2014, we issued $3.0 billion of U.S. dollar notes, consisting of:

   

$400 million of floating rate notes that bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.52% and mature on February 1, 2019

   

$850 million of 2.250% fixed rate notes that mature on February 1, 2019

   

$1,750 million of 4.000% fixed rate notes that mature on February 1, 2024

We received net proceeds of $2,982 million that were used to fund the February 2014 tender offer, pay down commercial paper borrowings and for other general corporate purposes. We recorded approximately $18 million of discounts and deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

We expect to continue to comply with our long-term debt covenants. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for further details of our debt covenants.

Total Debt:

Our total debt was $18.5 billion at June 30, 2014 and $17.1 billion at December 31, 2013. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.36 at June 30, 2014 and 0.35 at December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 7.8 years.

From time to time we refinance long-term and short-term debt. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Generally, in the first and second quarters of the year, our working capital requirements grow, increasing the need for short-term financing. The third and fourth quarters of the year typically generate higher cash flows. As such, we may issue commercial paper or secure other forms of financing throughout the year to meet short-term working capital needs.

In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved a new $5 billion long-term financing authority that superseded the prior authority. All of the $5 billion long-term financing authority remains available as of June 30, 2014.

In the next 12 months, $2,225 million of long-term debt will mature as follows: $513 million in December 2014, $1,164 million in March 2015 and $548 million in June 2015. We expect to fund these repayments with cash from operations and the issuance of commercial paper or additional debt.

Commodity Trends

We purchase and use large quantities of commodities, including sugar and other sweeteners, coffee, cocoa, wheat, corn products, soybean and vegetable oils and dairy. In addition, we purchase and use significant quantities of packaging

 

50


Table of Contents

materials to package our products and natural gas, fuels and electricity for our factories and warehouses. We regularly monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients and packaging required for production.

Significant cost items in biscuits, chocolate, gum, candy and many powdered beverage products are sugar and cocoa. We purchase sugar and cocoa on world markets, and the quality and availability of supply and changes in currencies affect the prices of these commodities. During the first six months of 2014, cocoa bean and cocoa butter costs rose significantly due to growing demand for chocolate. Significant cost items in our biscuit products are grains (primarily wheat, corn and soybean oil). In recent years, grain costs have been affected largely by the burgeoning global demand for food, livestock feed and biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, as well as other factors such as weather. The most significant cost item in coffee products is green coffee beans, which we purchase on world markets as well as from local grower cooperatives. Green coffee bean prices are affected by the quality and availability of supply, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to other currencies and consumer demand for coffee products. During the first six months of 2014, coffee bean costs have risen significantly since 2013, primarily due to the threat of reduced supply because of poor weather conditions in leading coffee producing countries such as Brazil. Significant cost items in packaging include cardboards, resins and plastics, and our energy costs include natural gas, electricity and diesel fuel. We purchase these packaging and energy commodities on world markets and within the countries where we operate. Supply and changes in currencies affect the prices of these commodities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were increased cocoa, dairy, packaging and energy costs as well as higher currency-related costs on our commodity purchases. Our covered coffee bean costs were lower in the first six months of 2014, which partially offset these increased aggregate commodity costs. We generally price to protect gross profit dollars. We address higher commodity costs and currency impacts primarily through higher pricing, hedging and manufacturing and overhead cost control. In particular for the coffee category, we adjust our prices and pass through changes in green coffee costs, which affect our net revenues but generally do not affect our bottom-line profitability over time. Our pricing actions may lag commodity cost changes temporarily as competitive or market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, or other factors could affect the timing of pricing decisions. We expect price volatility and a slightly higher aggregate cost environment to continue over the remainder of 2014.

A number of external factors such as weather conditions, commodity market conditions, currency fluctuations and the effects of governmental agricultural programs affect the cost of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We also use hedging techniques to limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials. However, we do not fully hedge against changes in commodity costs, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available from numerous sources. However, any significant constraints in the supply of key commodities may limit our ability to grow our net revenues for a period of time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

See Note 8, Debt, for information on debt transactions during the first six months of 2014, including the February 19, 2014 repayment of $500 million of matured U.S. dollar notes, the February 6, 2014 completion of a cash tender offer and retirement of $1.6 billion of long-term U.S. dollar debt and our January 16, 2014 $3.0 billion U.S. dollar note issuance. There were no other material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements and aggregate contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We also do not expect a material change in the effect these arrangements and obligations will have on our liquidity. See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for a discussion of guarantees.

Equity and Dividends

Stock Plans:

See Note 11, Stock Plans, for more information on our stock plans and award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Share Repurchases:

During 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $7.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2016. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repurchased 26.0 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $35.13 per share, or an aggregate cost of $0.9 billion, of which $0.7 billion was paid during the first half of 2014 and $0.2 billion was prepaid in December 2013 at the inception of an accelerated share repurchase program. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of June 30, 2014, we have $4.0 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

In December 2013, we initiated an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program. On December 3, 2013, we paid $1.7 billion and received an initial delivery of 44.8 million shares of Common Stock valued at $1.5 billion. We increased treasury stock by $1.5 billion, and the remaining $0.2 billion was recorded against additional paid in capital. In May 2014, the ASR program concluded and we received an additional 5.1 million shares, valued at $0.2 billion, for a total of 49.9 million shares with an average repurchase price of $34.10 per share over the life of the ASR program. The final settlement was based on the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock during the purchase period less a fixed per share discount. Upon conclusion of the ASR program and receipt of the remaining repurchased shares, the $0.2 billion recorded in additional paid in capital was reclassified to treasury stock.

We intend to continue to use a portion of our cash for share repurchases. The number of shares that we ultimately repurchase under our share repurchase program may vary depending on numerous factors, including share price and other market conditions, our ongoing capital allocation planning, levels of cash and debt balances, other demands for cash, such as acquisition activity, general economic or business conditions and board and management discretion. Additionally, our share repurchase activity during any particular period may fluctuate. We may accelerate, suspend, delay or discontinue our share repurchase program at any time, without notice.

Dividends:

We paid dividends of $476 million in the first six months of 2014 and $464 million in the first six months of 2013. On August 5, 2014, our Audit Committee, with authorization from our Board of Directors, approved a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share or $0.60 per common share on an annual basis. The dividend is payable on October 14, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2014. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

Significant Accounting Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our significant accounting estimates are described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for a discussion of the impact of new accounting standards. There were no changes in our accounting policies in the current period that had a material impact on our financial statements.

We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We disclose non-GAAP financial measures so that you have the same financial data that we use to assist you in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing our underlying performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change over time:

 

   

“Organic Net Revenue” is defined as net revenues excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures (including businesses under sale agreements and exits of major product lines under a sale or licensing agreement), Integration Program costs, accounting calendar changes and currency rate fluctuations.

 

   

“Adjusted Operating Income” is defined as operating income excluding the impact of Spin-Off Costs, pension costs related to obligations transferred in the Spin-Off, the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program, the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, the Integration Program and other acquisition integration costs, the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela, the benefit from the Cadbury acquisition-related indemnification resolution, costs associated with the JDE coffee transactions, gains / losses on divestitures or acquisitions, acquisition-related costs and the operating results of divestitures (including businesses under sale agreements and exits of major product lines under a sale or licensing agreement). We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis.

 

53


Table of Contents
   

“Adjusted EPS” is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations excluding the impact of Spin-Off Costs, pension costs related to the obligations transferred in the Spin-Off, the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program, the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program, the Integration Program and other acquisition integration costs, the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela, the benefit from the Cadbury acquisition-related indemnification resolution, losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses, the residual tax benefit impact from the resolution of the Starbucks arbitration, costs associated with the JDE coffee transactions, gains / losses on divestitures or acquisitions, acquisition-related costs and net earnings from divestitures (including businesses under sale agreements and exits of major product lines under a sale or licensing agreement), and including an interest expense adjustment related to the Spin-Off transaction. We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Because non-GAAP financial measures may vary among other companies, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items detailed below which have an impact on our U.S. GAAP reported results. The best way this limitation can be addressed is by evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported results and carefully evaluating the following tables that reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are neither accessible nor deemed to be significantly different from the non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided this information in connection with the non-GAAP financial measures in our Financial Outlook.

Organic Net Revenue

Using the definition of “Organic Net Revenue” above, the only adjustments made to “net revenues” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude the impact of currency, divestitures and an acquisition. We believe that Organic Net Revenue better reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provides improved comparability of results.

Adjusted Operating Income

Using the definition of “Adjusted Operating Income” above, the only adjustments made to “operating income” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude Spin-Off Costs, 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs, 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs, the Integration Program and other acquisition integration costs, the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela, costs associated with the JDE coffee transactions, net gains on acquisition and divestitures, acquisition-related costs and operating income from divestitures. We also evaluate Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis. We believe these measures provide improved comparability of operating results.

Adjusted EPS

Using the definition of “Adjusted EPS” above, the only adjustments made to “diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude Spin-Off Costs, 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs, 2014-2018 Restructuring Program costs, the Integration Program and other acquisition integration costs, losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses, the remeasurement of net monetary assets in Venezuela, costs associated with the JDE coffee transactions, gains on acquisition and divestitures, acquisition-related costs and net earnings from divestitures. We also evaluate Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis. We believe Adjusted EPS provides improved comparability of operating results.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As we operate globally, we use certain financial instruments to manage our currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. We maintain currency, commodity price and interest rate risk management policies that principally use derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. We also sell commodity futures to unprice future purchase commitments, and we occasionally use related futures to cross-hedge a commodity exposure. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes. There were no significant changes in the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our exposures since December 31, 2013. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, for additional information on our derivative activity during the first six months of 2014 and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our currency exchange, commodity price and interest rate exposures, and refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation—Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting, for additional information on recent currency exchange developments in Venezuela and Argentina and the impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, together with our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as of December 31, 2013, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, because of the material weakness described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Specifically, we did not maintain effective monitoring and oversight of controls over the completeness, accuracy and presentation of our accounting for income taxes, including the income tax provision and related tax assets and liabilities. The underlying control deficiencies resulted in inconsistent reconciliation of account balances, errors in the calculation of certain deferred tax balances, inaccurate information used to assess uncertain tax positions and incorrect balance sheet classification of certain balances.

The errors arising from the control deficiencies were not material to the financial results reported in any interim or annual period. For additional details of the adjustments made related to the first half of 2013, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation—Revision of Financial Statements.

In light of the weakness in internal control over financial reporting, prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we completed substantive procedures, including validating, and in certain cases correcting, the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used for accounting for income taxes. These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

We are implementing the following specific controls to address the material weakness and to strengthen our overall internal control over accounting for income taxes:

   

implementing additional monitoring controls through increased documented senior management review,

   

performing incremental substantive testing at lower materiality levels,

   

enhancing the formality and rigor of reconciliation procedures, and

   

hiring additional personnel with accounting for income tax expertise.

Table of Contents

We and our Board of Directors are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment, and believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our controls over the accounting for income taxes. Some of these controls will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over time. As such, the identified material weakness in internal control will not be considered fully addressed until the internal controls over the income tax process have been in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated. We continue to work on implementing the new controls in order to make this final determination.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. As outlined above, we are in the process of adding controls to remediate the material weakness related to the accounting for income taxes identified as of December 31, 2013. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
