Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual 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 results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Principles of Consolidation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments over which we do not have significant influence or control are not material and as there are no readily determinable fair values for the equity interests, these investments are carried at cost with changes in the investment recognized to the extent cash is received. War in Ukraine In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and we closed our operations and facilities in Ukraine. In March 2022, our two Ukrainian manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod were significantly damaged. During the first quarter of 2022, we evaluated and impaired these and other related assets. We recorded $143 million of total expenses ($145 million after-tax) incurred as a direct result of the war, including $75 million recorded in asset impairment and exit costs, $44 million in cost of sales and $24 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. We recorded $75 million of property, plant and equipment impairments, $33 million of estimated inventory write-offs, $19 million of increased estimated allowances for trade receivables and $16 million in accrued expenses. During the second and third quarters of 2022, we reversed approximately $15 million and $7 million, respectively, of previously recorded charges primarily as a result of higher than expected collection of trade receivables and inventory recoveries. We continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries and continue to evaluate our ability to control our operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis. In connection with these findings and impacts, we have made estimates and assumptions based on information available to us. We base our estimates on historical experience, expectations of future impacts and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Given the uncertainty of the ongoing effects of the war in Ukraine, and its impact on the global economic environment, our estimates could be significantly different than future performance. 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 (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on currency transactions in earnings. Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency. Local currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the latest balance sheet date, with remeasurement gains and losses recognized in net earnings. Türkiye. During the first quarter of 2022, primarily based on data published by the Türkiye Statistical Institute that indicated that Türkiye's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, we concluded that Türkiye became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of April 1, 2022, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiaries operating in Türkiye and changed their functional currency from the Turkish lira to the U.S. dollar. Our operations in Türkiye contributed $52 million or 0.7% of our condensed consolidated net revenues in the three months and $141 million or 0.6% of our condensed consolidated net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, our operations in Türkiye had $3 million of Turkish lira denominated net monetary liabilities. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded a remeasurement gain of $1 million during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the revaluation of the Turkish lira denominated net monetary position over these periods. Argentina. During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates that indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinean subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinean peso to the U.S. dollar. Our operations in Argentina contributed $139 million or 1.8% of consolidated net revenues in the three months and $407 million or 1.8% of our condensed consolidated net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, our Argentinean operations had $12 million of Argentinean peso denominated net monetary assets. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded a remeasurement loss of $12 million during the three months and $27 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as well as a remeasurement loss of $2 million during the three months and $10 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the revaluation of the Argentinean peso denominated net monetary position over these periods. Other Countries. Since we sell our products in over 150 countries and have operations in approximately 80 countries, we monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to potential exposures. We continue to monitor the developments in Ukraine and Russia and the COVID-19 global pandemic and related impacts to our business operations, currencies and net monetary exposures. Related to the war and pandemic, most countries in which we do business experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty, inflation and exchange rate volatility. At this time, within our consolidated entities, Argentina and Türkiye are highly inflationary economies as noted above, and we continue to monitor currency volatility and associated risks, such as increased risk of highly inflationary economies and related accounting. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash: Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We also have restricted cash that is recorded within other current assets of $18 million as of September 30, 2022 and $7 million as of December 31, 2021. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $2,195 million as of September 30, 2022 and $3,553 million as of December 31, 2021. Allowances for Credit Losses: The allowances for credit losses are recorded against our receivables. They are developed at a country and region level based on historical collection experiences, current economic condition of specific customers and the forecasted economic condition of countries using various factors such as bond default rates and consumption indexes. We write off receivables once it is determined that the receivables are no longer collectible and as allowed by local laws. Changes in allowances for credit losses consisted of:
| Allowance for Trade Receivables |  | Allowance for Other Current Receivables |  | Allowance for Long-Term Receivables
| (in millions)
Balance at January 1, 2022 | $ | (37) |  |  | $ | (49) |  |  | $ | (10) |
Current period provision for expected credit losses | (9) |  |  | (7) |  |  | (3) |
Write-offs charged against the allowance | 1 |  |  | 3 |  |  | — |
Currency | 3 |  |  | 4 |  |  | — |
Balance at September 30, 2022 | $ | (42) |  |  | $ | (49) |  |  | $ | (13) |
Transfers of Financial Assets: We account for transfers of financial assets, such as uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We use receivable factoring arrangements periodically when circumstances are favorable to manage liquidity. We have non-recourse factoring arrangements in which we sell eligible trade receivables primarily to banks in exchange for cash. We may then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the banks. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $743 million as of September 30, 2022 and $761 million as of December 31, 2021. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was not material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Non-Cash Lease Transactions: We recorded $206 million in operating lease and $135 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $159 million in operating lease and $59 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. New Accounting Pronouncements: In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which requires companies to recognize and measure customer contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if the acquiring company originated the related revenue contracts. Prior to adopting this ASU, acquired contract assets and liabilities were measured at fair value. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the timing and effects of adopting this ASU and currently we do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020 and subsequently in January 2021, the FASB issued an ASU to provide optional accounting guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to existing accounting requirements for contract modifications and hedge accounting related to transitioning from discontinued reference rates, such as LIBOR, to alternative reference rates, if certain criteria are met. The new accounting requirements can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period including March 12, 2020, or any date thereafter, through December 31, 2022. We expect to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2022. Based on our evaluation of our contracts to date, we do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring additional disclosure about the key terms of these programs and a rollforward of the related obligations to understand the effects of these programs on working capital, liquidity and cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
