Inventory Disclosure
Kraft Foods Group Inc., balance sheet: inventory
US$ in millions
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2014-12-27), 10-K (reporting date: 2013-12-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2012-12-29).
The financial data indicates a varying trend in the inventory components over the three-year period ending December 27, 2014. Specifically, there is a general decline in raw materials from 535 million USD in 2012 to 453 million USD in 2013, followed by a moderate increase to 481 million USD in 2014. This suggests some fluctuation in the procurement or usage of raw materials.
Work in process inventory also shows a downward movement, decreasing from 326 million USD in 2012 to 294 million USD in 2013 and stabilizing slightly at 296 million USD in 2014. This reduction might imply improvements in production efficiency or a faster turnover rate in the processing stage.
Finished product inventory reveals a sharp decline from 1067 million USD in 2012 to 869 million USD in 2013, followed by a recovery to 998 million USD in 2014. The initial drop could indicate increased sales or production adjustments, while the subsequent rise suggests replenishment of finished goods stock.
Overall inventories decreased significantly from 1928 million USD in 2012 to 1616 million USD in 2013, aligning with the reductions seen in raw materials and finished products. In 2014, inventories partially rebounded to 1775 million USD, corresponding with the increases in raw materials and finished product categories. This pattern indicates an inventory optimization effort with fluctuations possibly reflecting changing operational or market conditions.
