Apr 28, 2026mda_quarterlyNet revenues increased 8.2% to $10.1 billion, with organic net revenue growing 3.0% driven by higher pricing. This growth was partially offset by unfavorable volume and mix, specifically pricing elasticity in Europe and Latin America and soft biscuits and baked snacks consumption in North America. Adjusted EPS decreased 9.5% to $0.67, pressured by higher raw material costs—including cocoa, edible oils, nuts, and dairy—and increased advertising and consumer promotion expenses. Operating results were further impacted by a $1.2 billion multi-year ERP system implementation and new restructuring actions initiated in late 2025. Geopolitical volatility remains a key risk, with shipping disruptions in the Middle East affecting AMEA markets and continued operational uncertainty in Russia and Ukraine. Trade risks persist regarding U.S. tariffs, while cocoa supply is threatened by climate change and the EU Deforestation Regulation. Liquidity is supported by a $6.7 billion remaining share repurchase capacity, with 2026 capital expenditures projected up to $1.4 billion. Favorable currency translation from the euro, British pound, and Mexican peso helped mitigate some headwinds, though hyperinflation continues to affect operations in Argentina, Türkiye, Egypt, and Nigeria.
Feb 4, 2026mdaMondelēz International reported 2025 net revenues of $38.5 billion, a 5.8% increase, with organic net revenue growing 4.3% primarily through pricing actions. Despite revenue growth, Adjusted EPS declined 12.8% to $2.92, and operating income fell 44.1% to $3.5 billion. Profitability was severely pressured by soaring input costs, specifically for cocoa, dairy, edible oils, and nuts, alongside unfavorable volume/mix resulting from pricing elasticity in the U.S. and Europe and soft biscuit consumption in North America. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets, with organic growth of 7.2% versus 2.5%. Strategic investments include a $1.2 billion global ERP and supply chain transformation program expected by 2028 and the acquisition of Evirth in China. Geopolitical risks remain significant, with Russia accounting for 3.7% of net revenues amid ongoing sanctions and expropriation threats. Financial volatility is further compounded by hyperinflationary accounting in Argentina, Türkiye, Egypt, and Nigeria, and the impact of U.S. import tariffs. The company continues to manage critical supply chain vulnerabilities, particularly the climate-sensitive cocoa supply, through hedging and pricing, though these measures may not fully offset extreme volatility.
Feb 4, 2026risk_factorsMondelēz International faces significant exposure to volatile commodity prices, particularly cocoa, which is critical for its chocolate and biscuits portfolios. With over 75% of net revenues generated outside the United States, the company is highly susceptible to currency fluctuations—including hyperinflation in Argentina, Türkiye, Egypt, and Nigeria—and shifting trade tariffs. Geopolitical instability, specifically the war in Ukraine, has disrupted wheat and energy markets and jeopardized operations in Russia, which accounted for 3.7% of 2025 revenues. Competitive pressures are intensifying from private-label brands and a consumer shift toward "well-being" trends, including reduced sugar and sodium intake and the use of weight-loss drugs. Sustainability mandates, such as the EU Deforestation Regulation and goals for net-zero emissions by 2050, introduce operational costs and reputational risks. Legally, the company faces product liability litigation regarding the alleged addictive nature of its products and must navigate complex tax changes, including the U.S. One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Additionally, the company manages substantial financial risks related to a $7.1 billion projected pension benefit obligation and increasing cybersecurity threats amplified by the adoption of artificial intelligence.
