Second Quarter Commentary

Net revenues increased 9.5 percent driven by Organic Net Revenue growth of 13.1 percent, and incremental sales from the company's acquisition of Chipita, partially offset by unfavorable currency. Pricing and volume drove Organic Net Revenue growth.
Gross profit increased $10 million, while gross profit margin decreased 330 basis points to 36.3 percent primarily driven by the decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit¹ margin and lower mark-to-market gains from derivatives. Adjusted Gross Profit increased $257 million at constant currency, while Adjusted Gross Profit margin decreased 210 basis points to 37.9 percent due to higher raw material and transportation costs and unfavorable mix, partially offset by pricing and volume leverage.
Operating income increased $55 million and operating income margin was 12.7 percent, down 40 basis points primarily due to lower mark-to-market gains from derivatives, lower Adjusted Operating Income¹ margin and higher acquisition integration costs, partially offset by lower restructuring costs and lapping prior-year pension participation changes. Adjusted Operating Income increased $91 million at constant currency while Adjusted Operating Income margin decreased 110 basis points to 15.1 percent, with input cost inflation and unfavorable mix, mostly offset by pricing and SG&A leverage.
Diluted EPS was $0.54, down 28.9 percent, primarily due to lapping a prior-year net gain on equity method transactions, an unfavorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from derivatives and higher acquisition integration costs, partially offset by lower restructuring costs, lower negative impacts from enacted tax law changes, lapping a prior-year intangible asset impairment charge, lapping a prior-year unfavorable impact of pension participation changes and an increase in Adjusted EPS.
Adjusted EPS was $0.67, up 9.1 percent on a constant-currency basis driven by strong operating gains, lower taxes and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by higher interest expense and lower income from equity method investments.
Capital Return: The company returned $1.2 billion to shareholders in cash dividends and share repurchases. Today, the company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.385 per share of Class A common stock, an increase of 10 percent. This dividend is payable on October 14, 2022, to shareholders recorded as of September 30, 2022.

2022 Outlook

Mondelēz International provides its outlook on a non-GAAP basis, as the company cannot predict some elements that are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange. Refer to the Outlook section in the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below for more details.

The company is updating its fiscal 2022 outlook to reflect expectations for continued top-line growth, higher cost of goods sold inflation, the timing effect of additional pricing actions and the impact of the war in Ukraine.

For 2022, the company now expects 8+ percent Organic Net Revenue growth, which reflects the strength of its first half and higher pricing related to increased input costs. The company's expectation of mid-to-high single digit Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis remains unchanged. The company's Free Cash Flow outlook remains at $3+ billion. The company estimates currency translation would decrease 2022 net revenue growth by approximately 5 percent³ with a negative $0.22 impact to Adjusted EPS³.

Outlook is provided in the context of greater than usual volatility as a result of COVID-19 and geopolitical uncertainty.

Conference Call

Mondelēz International will host a conference call for investors with accompanying slides to review its results at 5 p.m. ET today. A listen-only webcast will be provided at www.mondelezinternational.com. An archive of the webcast will be available on the company's web site.

Reconciliation 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 ("GAAP"). However, management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of the company's historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results, and provides additional transparency on how the company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. The company also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the 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 be significant or that could affect an understanding of its ongoing financial and business performance and trends. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales and non-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major program financing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. See below for a description of 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 a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the company's non-GAAP financial 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 operating results currently and provide improved comparability of operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When these definitions change, the company provides the updated definitions and presents the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis. When items no longer impact the company's current or future presentation of 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, and in the second quarter of 2022, the company added to the non-GAAP definitions the exclusion of costs incurred associated with our publicly-announced processes to sell businesses.

"Organic Net Revenue" is defined as net revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and currency rate fluctuations. The company also evaluates Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and developed markets.
"Adjusted Gross Profit" is defined as gross profit excluding the impacts of the Simplify to Grow Program; acquisition integration costs; the operating results of divestitures; mark-to-market impacts from commodity, forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts; and incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine. The company also presents "Adjusted Gross Profit margin," which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Gross Profit. The company also evaluates growth in the company's Adjusted Gross Profit on a constant currency basis.
"Adjusted Operating Income" and "Adjusted Segment Operating Income" are defined as operating income (or segment operating income) excluding the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Gross Profit definition as well as gains or losses (including non-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture or acquisition gains or losses, divestiture-related costs, acquisition-related costs, and acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments; remeasurement of net monetary position; impacts from resolution of tax matters; impact from pension participation changes; and costs associated with the JDE Peet's transaction. The company also presents "Adjusted Operating Income margin" and "Adjusted Segment Operating Income margin," which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income. The company also evaluates growth in the company's Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income on a constant currency basis.
"Adjusted EPS" is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations excluding the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Operating Income definition, as well as losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses; gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans; net earnings from divestitures; and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes; and gains or losses on equity method investment transactions. Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, the company's equity method investment net earnings exclude its proportionate share of its investees' significant operating and non-operating items. The tax impact of each of the items excluded from the company's GAAP results was computed based on the facts and tax assumptions associated with each item, and such impacts have also been excluded from Adjusted EPS. The company also evaluates growth in the company's Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis.
"Free Cash Flow" is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is the company's primary measure used to monitor its cash flow performance.

See the attached schedules for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above to the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. See Items Impacting Comparability of Operating Results below for more information 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 believes it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. The company excludes these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of its segment operating results. Furthermore, the company centrally manages benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, the company does not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS

The following information is provided to give qualitative and quantitative information related to items impacting comparability of operating results. The company identifies these based on how management views the company's business; makes financial, operating and planning decisions; and evaluates the company's ongoing performance. In addition, the company discloses the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on the company's financial results in order to reflect results on a constant currency basis.

Divestitures, Divestiture-related costs and Gains/(losses) on divestitures

Divestitures include completed sales of businesses, exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement and the partial or full sale of an equity method investment such as KDP or JDE Peet's (discussed separately below under the gains and losses on equity method investment transactions section). As the company records its share of KDP and JDE Peet's ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any KDP or JDE Peet's ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within the company's non-GAAP results the following quarter. Divestiture-related costs, which includes costs for the company's divestitures as defined above, also includes costs incurred associated with the company's publicly-announced processes to sell businesses.

The company's non-GAAP results include the impacts from 2021 partial sales of its equity method investment in KDP as if the sales occurred at the beginning of all periods presented. See the section on gains/losses on equity method investment transactions below for more information.
In May 2022, the company announced its intention to divest the company's developed market gum and global Halls candy businesses. In the third quarter of 2022, we will formally begin to seek potential buyers for these businesses. In addition, the company incurred divestiture-related costs of $4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
On November 1, 2021, the company completed the sale of MaxFoods Pty Ltd, an Australian packaged seafood business that it had acquired as part of its acquisition of Gourmet Food Holdings Pty Ltd ("Gourmet Food"). The sales price was $57 million Australian dollars ($41 million), net of cash divested with the business, and the company recorded an immaterial loss on the transaction. The divestiture of this business resulted in a year-over-year decline in net revenues of $14 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Acquisitions, Acquisition-related costs and Acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments

Acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments include one-time costs related to the integration of acquisitions as well as any adjustments made to the fair market value of contingent compensation liabilities that have been previously booked for earn-outs related to acquisitions that do not relate to employee compensation expense. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.

On June 20, 2022, the company announced an agreement to acquire Clif Bar & Company ("Clif Bar"), a leading U.S. maker of nutritious energy bars with organic ingredients for a purchase price of approximately $2.9 billion, subject to closing purchase price adjustments. The acquisition of Clif Bar includes a contingent consideration arrangement that may require the company to pay additional consideration to the sellers for achieving certain revenue and earnings targets in 2025 and 2026 that exceed the company's base financial projections for the business implied in the upfront purchase price. The possible payments range from zero to a maximum total of $2.4 billion, with higher payments requiring the achievement of targets that generate rates of returns in excess of the base financial projections. In connection with this transaction, the company expects to generate a meaningful tax benefit over time from the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. The transaction, which will be funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand, is subject to relevant antitrust approvals and closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022. The company incurred acquisition-related costs of $4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

On April 24, 2022, the company entered into an agreement with Grupo Bimbo to acquire Ricolino, its confectionery business located primarily in Mexico for a purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion, subject to closing purchase price adjustments. The transaction, which will be funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand, is subject to relevant antitrust approvals and closing conditions and is expected to close late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, the company incurred acquisition-related costs of $1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

On January 3, 2022, the company 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 the company's existing portfolio and advances its strategy to become the global leader in broader snacking. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $180 million in the three months and $332 million in the six months ended June 30,2022, and operating income of $10 million in the three months and $14 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The company incurred acquisition-related costs of $21 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $6 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021. The company also incurred acquisition integration costs of $36 million in the three months and $71 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

On April 1, 2021, the company acquired Gourmet Food Holdings Pty Ltd, a leading Australian food company in the premium biscuit and cracker category. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $14 million and operating income of $1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The company also incurred acquisition-related costs of $6 million in the three months and $7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

On March 25, 2021, the company acquired a majority interest in Lion/Gemstone Topco Ltd ("Grenade"), a performance nutrition leader in the United Kingdom. The acquisition of Grenade expands the company's position into the premium nutrition segment. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $21 million and operating income of $2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The company also incurred acquisition-related costs of $2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

On January 4, 2021, the company acquired the remaining 93% of equity of Hu Master Holdings, a category leader in premium chocolate in the United States, which provides a strategic complement to the company's snacking portfolio in North America through growth opportunities in chocolate and other offerings in the well-being segment. As a result of acquiring the remaining equity interest, the company consolidated the operation and recorded a pre-tax gain of $9 million ($7 million after-tax) related to stepping up the company's previously-held $8 million (7%) investment to fair value. The company also incurred acquisition-related costs of $5 million in the three months and $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

On April 1, 2020, the company acquired a majority interest in Give & Go, a North American leader in fully-finished sweet baked goods and owner of the famous two-bite^® brand of brownies and the Create-A-Treat^® brand, known for cookie and gingerbread house decorating kits. The acquisition of Give & Go provides access to the in-store bakery channel and expands the company's position in broader snacking. The company incurred $1 million of acquisition-integrations costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and $2 million in the three months and $3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Simplify to Grow Program

The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce the company's operating cost structure in both its supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs.

Restructuring costs

The company recorded restructuring charges of $4 million in the three months and $15 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $100 million in the three months and $188 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 within asset impairment and exit costs and benefit plan non-service income. These charges were for severance and related costs, non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other adjustments, including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets.

Implementation costs

Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing the company's operations and facilities in connection with its supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of the company's information systems. The company recorded implementation costs of $19 million in the three months and $39 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $33 million in the three months and $67 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Intangible asset impairment charges

During the first quarter of 2022, the company recorded a $78 million intangible asset impairment charge in AMEA due to lower than expected growth and profitability of a local biscuit brand sold in select markets in AMEA and Europe.

During the second quarter of 2021, the company recorded a $32 million impairment charge in North America related to a small biscuit brand, primarily due to lower than expected sales growth.

Mark-to-market impacts from commodity and currency derivative contracts

The company excludes unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts from its non-GAAP earnings measures. The mark-to-market impacts of commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives are excluded until such time that the related exposures impact the company's operating results. Since the company purchases commodity and forecasted currency transaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, the company makes this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of its underlying operating performance across periods. The company excludes equity method investment derivative contract settlements as they represent protection of value for future divestitures. The company recorded net unrealized losses on commodity, forecasted currency and equity method transaction derivatives of $128 million in the three months and $100 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, and recorded net unrealized gains of $17 million in the three months and $134 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Remeasurement of net monetary position

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%, the company concluded that Türkiye became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of April 1, 2022, the company began to apply highly inflationary accounting for its subsidiaries operating in Türkiye and changed their functional currency from the Turkish lira to the U.S. dollar. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, we recorded a remeasurement loss of less than $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 related to the revaluation of the Turkish lira denominated net monetary position during the quarter.

During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates which indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, the company concluded that Argentina became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of July 1, 2018, the company began to apply highly inflationary accounting for its Argentinean subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinean peso to the U.S. dollar. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, the company recorded remeasurement losses of $10 million in the three months and $15 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $3 million in the three months and $8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the revaluation of the Argentinean peso denominated net monetary position over these periods.

Impact from pension participation changes

The impact from pension participation changes represent the charges incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans and other changes in employee group pension plan participation. The company excludes these charges from its non-GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect the company's ongoing pension obligations.

During the second quarter of 2021, the company made a decision to freeze its Defined Benefit Pension Scheme in the United Kingdom. As a result, the company recognized a curtailment credit of $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 recorded within benefit plan non-service income. In addition, the company incurred incentive payment charges and other expenses related to this decision of $44 million in the three months and $45 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 included in operating income.

On July 11, 2019, the company received an undiscounted withdrawal liability assessment related to the company's complete withdrawal from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund totaling $526 million and requiring pro-rata monthly payments over 20 years. The company began making monthly payments during the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the discounted long-term liability, the company recorded accreted interest of $2 million in the three months and $5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $3 million in the three months and $6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 within interest and other expense, net. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining discounted withdrawal liability was $352 million, with $15 million recorded in other current liabilities and $337 million recorded in long-term other liabilities.

Incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine

In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and the company closed its operations and facilities in Ukraine. In March 2022, the company's two Ukrainian manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod were significantly damaged. During the first quarter of 2022, the company evaluated and impaired these and other assets. The company 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. During the second quarter of 2022, the company reversed approximately $15 million of previously recorded charges related to higher than expected collection of trade receivables and inventory recoveries.

Loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses

On March 18, 2022, the company completed an early redemption of long-term U.S. dollar ($987 million) denominated notes. The company recorded a $129 million loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses within interest and other expense, net, consisting of $38 million paid in excess of carrying value of the debt and from recognizing unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs in earnings and $91 million in unamortized forward starting swap losses in earnings at the time of the debt extinguishment.

On March 31, 2021, the company completed an early redemption of euro (€1,200 million) and U.S. dollar ($992 million) denominated notes. The company recorded a $137 million loss on debt extinguishment and related expenses within interest and other expense, net, consisting of $110 million paid in excess of carrying value of the debt and from recognizing unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs in earnings and $27 million foreign currency derivative loss related to the redemption payment at the time of the debt extinguishment.

Initial impacts from enacted tax law changes

The company excludes initial impacts from enacted tax law changes from its non-GAAP financial measures as they do not reflect its ongoing tax obligations under the enacted tax law changes. Initial impacts include items such as the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and the transition tax from the 2017 U.S. tax reform. Previously, the company only excluded the initial impacts from more material tax reforms, specifically the impacts of the 2019 Swiss tax reform and 2017 U.S. tax reform. To facilitate comparisons of its underlying operating results, the company has recast all historical non-GAAP earnings measures to exclude the initial impacts from enacted tax law changes.

The company recorded net tax expense from the increase of its deferred tax liabilities resulting from enacted tax legislation of $9 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $95 million (mainly in the United Kingdom) in the three months and $99 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Gains and losses on equity method investment transactions

JDE Peet's Transaction

On May 8, 2022, the company sold approximately 18.6 million of our JDE Peet's shares back to JDE Peet's, which reduced our ownership interest by approximately 3% to 19.8%. The company received €500 million ($529 million) of proceeds and recorded a loss of €8 million ($8 million) on this sale during the second quarter of 2022. As the company records its share of JDE Peet's ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any JDE Peet's ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within non-GAAP financial results the following quarter. As such, the company will recast divestitures within its non-GAAP financial results to reflect this sale of JDE Peet's shares in the third quarter of 2022.

Keurig Dr Pepper transactions

On August 2, 2021, the company sold approximately $14.7 million shares of KDP, which reduced its ownership interest by 1% to 5.3% of the total outstanding shares. The company received $500 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $248 million (or $189 million after-tax) during the third quarter of 2021.

On June 7, 2021, the company participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately 28.0 million shares, which reduced its ownership interest by 2% to 6.4% of the total outstanding shares. The company received $997 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $520 million (or $392 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2021.

The company considers these ownership reductions partial divestitures of its equity method investment in KDP. Therefore, the company has removed the equity method investment net earnings related to the divested portion from its non-GAAP financial results for Adjusted EPS for all historical periods presented to facilitate comparison of results. The company's U.S. GAAP results, which include its equity method investment net earnings from KDP, did not change from what was previously reported.

Equity method investee items

Within Adjusted EPS, the company's equity method investment net earnings exclude its proportionate share of its equity method investees' significant operating and non-operating items, such as acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring program costs and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes.

Constant currency

Management evaluates the operating performance of the company and its international subsidiaries on a constant currency basis. The company determines its constant currency operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the company's financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.

OUTLOOK

The company's outlook for 2022 Organic Net Revenue growth, Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise adjust for items impacting comparability of financial results such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, restructuring activities, acquisitions and divestitures. The company is not able to reconcile its projected Organic Net Revenue growth to its projected reported net revenue growth for the full-year 2022 because the company is unable to predict during this period the impact from potential acquisitions or divestitures, as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes in currency exchange rates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company's operations are outside the U.S. The company is not able to reconcile its projected Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis to its projected reported diluted EPS growth for the full-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 potential acquisitions or divestitures as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes in currency exchange rates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company's operations are outside the U.S. The company is not able to reconcile its projected Free Cash Flow to its projected net cash from operating activities for the full-year 2022 because the company is unable to predict during this period the timing and amount of capital expenditures impacting cash flow. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.
