Acquisitions and Divestitures	Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions Evirth On November 1, 2024, we acquired Evirth (Shanghai) Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Evirth”), a leading manufacturer of cakes and pastries in China. The acquisition will continue to expand our growth in the cakes and pastries categories. The cash consideration paid for Evirth totaled ¥1.7 billion ($240 million), net of cash received. We are working to complete the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2024. Within definite-lived intangible assets, we allocated $117 million to customer relationships which have an estimated useful life of 17 years. The fair value of customer relationships at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of the intangible assets include discounted cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates. Goodwill of $122 million was determined as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities and synergies across China. None of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the AMEA operating segment. For further detail, refer to Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We incurred acquisition integration and contingent consideration adjustment costs of $8 million, acquisition-related costs of $3 million and an inventory step-up charge of $3 million in 2024. Ricolino On November 1, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of Grupo Bimbo's confectionery business, Ricolino, located primarily in Mexico. The acquisition of Ricolino builds on our continued prioritization of fast-growing snacking segments in key geographies. The cash consideration paid for Ricolino totaled 26 billion Mexican pesos ($1.3 billion), net of cash received. We incurred acquisition integration costs of $21 million in 2024, $50 million in 2023 and $11 million in 2022. In 2022, we also incurred an inventory step-up charge of $5 million and recorded several items within acquisition-related costs that resulted in income of $64 million as realized gains related to hedging contracts associated with acquisition funds more than offset other acquisition transaction costs. Clif Bar On August 1, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”), a leading U.S. maker of nutritious energy bars with organic ingredients. The acquisition expands our global snack bar business and complements our refrigerated snacking and performance nutrition bar portfolios. The total cash payment of $2.9 billion includes purchase price consideration of $2.6 billion, net of cash received, and one-time compensation expense of $0.3 billion related to the buyout of the non-vested employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") shares. This compensation expense is considered an acquisition-related cost. We also incurred a contingent consideration liability with an acquisition date fair value of $440 million. We recorded a net gain in acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments of $393 million in 2024 and incurred acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments of $164 million in 2023 and $30 million in 2022. Refer to Note 10, Financial Instruments for additional information on the changes to the contingent consideration liability. We also incurred acquisition-related costs of $296 million, primarily related to the buyout of the non-vested ESOP shares, and an inventory step-up charge of $20 million in 2022. Chipita On January 3, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity of Chipita Global S.A. (“Chipita”), a leading croissants and baked snacks company in the Central and Eastern European markets. The acquisition of Chipita offers a strategic complement to our existing portfolio and advances our strategy to become the global leader in broader snacking. The cash consideration paid for Chipita totaled €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion), net of cash received, plus the assumption of Chipita’s debt of €0.4 billion ($0.4 billion) for a total purchase price of €1.7 billion ($1.8 billion). We incurred acquisition integration costs of $20 million in 2024, $17 million in 2023 and $90 million in 2022. We incurred acquisition-related costs of $22 million in 2022. Divestitures Developed Market Gum On October 1, 2023, we completed the sale of our developed market gum business in the United States, Canada and Europe to Perfetti Van Melle Group, excluding the Portugal business which we retained pending regulatory approval. After obtaining the regulatory approval, we completed the sale of the Portugal business to Perfetti Van Melle Group on October 23, 2023. We received cash proceeds of $1.4 billion. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $108 million on the sale. We recorded divestiture-related costs of $1 million in 2024, $83 million in 2023 and $15 million in 2022. This disposition was not considered a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations or financial results; therefore, the results of the disposed business were not classified as discontinued operations.
