Mondelēz International, Inc. and SubsidiariesReconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures(Unaudited)

The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States(“U.S. GAAP”). However, management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additionalinformation to facilitate the comparison of the company’s historical operating results and trends in its underlying operatingresults, and provides additional transparency on how the company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAPfinancial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. Thecompany also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures thatthe company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.

The company considers quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may besignificant or that could affect an understanding of its ongoing financial and business performance and trends. The adjustmentsgenerally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales andnon-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major programfinancing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. See below for a descriptionof adjustments to the company’s U.S. GAAP financial measures included herein.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as asubstitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAPfinancial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

DEFINITIONS OF THE COMPANY’S NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The company’s non-GAAP financial measures and corresponding metrics reflect how the company evaluates its operatingresults currently and provide improved comparability of operating results.

When these definitions change, the company provides the updated definitions and presents the relatednon-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis. When items no longer impact the company’s current or future presentationof non-GAAP operating results, the company removes these items from its non-GAAP definitions. In the first quarter of 2022,the company added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine, in the secondquarter of 2022, the company added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of costs incurred associated with our publicly-announced processes to sell businesses, and in the third quarter of 2022, the company added to the non-GAAP definitions theexclusion of inventory step-up charges associated with acquisitions.

Similarly, within Adjusted

See Items Impacting Comparability of Operating Results below for moreinformation about the items referenced in these definitions that specifically impacted the company’s results.

SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME

The company uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources.

The company excludes these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of itssegment operating results.

Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing the company’s operations and facilities in connection with its supplychain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expensesrelated to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of the company’s informationsystems.

The mark-to-market impacts of commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives are excluded until such time that the relatedexposures impact the company's operating results. Since the company purchases commodity and forecasted currencytransaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, the company makes thisadjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons ofits underlying operating performance across periods. The company excludes equity method investment derivative contractsettlements as they represent protection of value for future divestitures.

OUTLOOK

The company’s outlook for 2022 Organic Net Revenue growth, Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis and FreeCash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise adjust for items impacting comparability of financialresults such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, restructuring activities, acquisitions and divestitures. Thecompany is not able to reconcile its projected Organic Net Revenue growth to its projected reported net revenue growth for thefull-year 2022 because the company is unable to predict during this period the impact from potential acquisitions ordivestitures, as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes in currency exchangerates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company’s operations are outside the U.S. The company is not ableto reconcile its projected Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis to its projected reported diluted EPS growth for thefull-year 2022 because the company is unable to predict during this period the timing of its restructuring program costs, mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts and impacts from potentialacquisitions or divestitures as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes incurrency exchange rates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company’s operations are outside the U.S. Thecompany is not able to reconcile its projected Free Cash Flow to its projected net cash from operating activities for the full-year2022 because the company is unable to predict during this period the timing and amount of capital expenditures impacting cashflow. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could besignificant, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.
