Goodwill and Intangible Assets Accounting Policy
Goodwill and Non-Amortizable Intangible Assets
Mondelēz International tests goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis on July 1. Mondelēz International assesses goodwill impairment risk throughout the year by performing a qualitative review of entity-specific, industry, market and general economic factors affecting the goodwill reporting units. Mondelēz International reviews the operating segment and reporting unit structure for goodwill testing annually or as significant changes in the organization occur. Annually, Mondelēz International may perform qualitative testing, or depending on factors such as prior-year test results, current year developments, current risk evaluations and other practical considerations, Mondelēz International may elect to do quantitative testing instead. In the quantitative testing, Mondelēz International compares a reporting unit’s estimated fair value with its carrying value. Mondelēz International estimates a reporting unit’s fair value using a discounted cash flow method that incorporates planned growth rates, market-based discount rates and estimates of residual value. This year, for the Europe and North America reporting units, Mondelēz International used a market-based, weighted-average cost of capital of 7.3% to discount the projected cash flows of those operations. For the Latin America and AMEA reporting units, Mondelēz International used a risk-rated discount rate of 10.3%. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires Mondelēz International to make assumptions and estimates regarding Mondelēz International’s future plans, industry and economic conditions, and the actual results and conditions may differ over time. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, Mondelēz International would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
Annually Mondelēz International assesses non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment by performing a qualitative review and assessing events and circumstances that could affect the fair value or carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. If significant potential impairment risk exists for a specific asset, Mondelēz International quantitatively tests it for impairment by comparing its estimated fair value with its carrying value. Mondelēz International determines estimated fair value using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates and estimates of royalty rates. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value, Mondelēz International considers the asset impaired and reduces its carrying value to the estimated fair value. Mondelēz International amortizes definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives and evaluates them for impairment as Mondelēz International does other long-lived assets.
