Earnings and Profitability Commentary
The significant increase in reported gross profit margin—up 9.9 percentage points to 42.6%—was primarily driven by a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives, as well as an increase in Adjusted Gross Profit margin. This was partially offset by incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts, higher costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program, and an unfavorable year-over-year change in acquisition-related items. On an adjusted basis, Adjusted Gross Profit increased $92 million at constant currency and Adjusted Gross Profit margin increased 20 basis points to 34.0%, driven primarily by higher net pricing and lower manufacturing costs from productivity, partially offset by higher raw material costs.
Reported operating income increased $774 million, with operating income margin rising 780 basis points to 20.8%, primarily due to the favorable mark-to-market derivative impact. Adjusted Operating Income decreased $78 million at constant currency and Adjusted Operating Income margin decreased 120 basis points to 13.1%, driven by higher raw material costs, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses, and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs, partially offset by higher net pricing and lower manufacturing costs from productivity.
Reported Diluted EPS was $1.20, up 144.9%, primarily driven by the favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts, lower pension participation charges, and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes. Adjusted EPS was $0.73, down 2.7% on a constant currency basis, driven by operating declines and higher interest and other expense, partially offset by lower income tax and favorable currency-related items.
Year-to-Date and Cash Flow Performance
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Mondelēz International reported net revenues of $19,435 million, up 6.2% versus the prior year period, with year-to-date Organic Net Revenue growth of 2.6%.

2026 Full-Year Outlook

The company maintains its Adjusted EPS growth in the range of flat to 5% on a constant currency basis. The company also expects 2026 Free Cash Flow of approximately $3 billion. The company currently estimates currency translation would increase 2026 net revenue growth by approximately 2.0% and increase Adjusted EPS by $0.05.
