The financial data reveals several notable trends in key performance indicators over the five-year period.

Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
NOPAT demonstrates variability throughout the period. It increased from 3,858 million US dollars in 2020 to 4,733 million in 2021, indicating improved operational efficiency or profitability. However, it declined sharply to 3,016 million in 2022, suggesting potential challenges or increased costs during that year. A significant rebound occurred in 2023, with NOPAT rising to 5,433 million, the highest point in the series. In 2024, there was a slight decrease to 5,271 million, yet the level remained substantially above the 2020 figure.
Cost of Capital
The cost of capital steadily increased from 8.38% in 2020 to a peak of 8.98% in 2023. In 2024, a minor reduction to 8.73% was observed. The rising trend until 2023 indicates increasing costs associated with funding or required return rates, which may influence investment decisions and valuation assessments.
Invested Capital
Invested capital exhibited relative stability but with slight fluctuations. It started at 61,366 million US dollars in 2020, showing a marginal increase to 61,560 million in 2021 and further growth to 63,833 million in 2022. Following this, a decrease ensued, with invested capital dropping to 61,495 million in 2023 and further to 60,269 million in 2024. This reduction might indicate divestitures, asset sales, or efficiency improvements in capital allocation.
Economic Profit
Economic profit was negative for four out of five years, reflecting challenges in generating returns above the cost of capital. The deficit was largest in 2020 at -1,286 million, improved significantly to -584 million in 2021, then worsened drastically in 2022 with a -2,523 million loss. By 2023, the company nearly broke even with a negative 92 million, and in 2024, the economic profit turned slightly positive at 7 million. This trend suggests improving value creation performance, though the recent positive figure remains modest.

Overall, the data illustrates fluctuating profitability and invested capital levels, with increasing costs of capital impacting economic profitability. The company faced substantial economic profit deficits in most years but showed signs of recovery in 2023 and 2024. Continuous monitoring of capital efficiency and sustained profit improvements will be essential to ensure long-term value creation.

Net Earnings Attributable to Mondelēz International
The net earnings demonstrated a fluctuating trend over the five-year period. Starting at 3,555 million US dollars in 2020, earnings increased notably to 4,300 million in 2021, showing significant growth. However, in 2022, there was a considerable decline to 2,717 million, representing a substantial decrease. The earnings then rose sharply in 2023 to reach 4,959 million, the highest point in the period under review, followed by a slight decline in 2024 to 4,611 million. Despite the fluctuations, the earnings in 2024 remained well above the 2020 level.
Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
The NOPAT exhibited a similar pattern to net earnings, evidencing growth from 3,858 million US dollars in 2020 to 4,733 million in 2021. There was a decline in 2022 to 3,016 million, although this was less pronounced than the drop in net earnings. In 2023, NOPAT increased sharply, reaching 5,433 million, the peak during the period. A marginal decrease to 5,271 million occurred in 2024, yet the level remained significantly higher compared to the start of the period.
General Observations
Both net earnings and NOPAT show a cyclical pattern with peaks in 2021 and 2023, and troughs in 2022. The recovery after 2022 is strong, indicating resilience and effective operational performance. The overall upward trend from 2020 to 2024 reflects improvement in profitability and operational efficiency, despite the mid-period dip. The differences in magnitude of the declines and recoveries between net earnings and NOPAT may suggest varying impacts of operational and non-operational factors on profitability.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes fluctuated over the five-year period. It decreased from 1224 million USD in 2020 to 865 million USD in 2022, indicating a downward trend during these years. However, the figure rose sharply to 1537 million USD in 2023, the highest level in the series, before slightly declining to 1469 million USD in 2024. This pattern suggests variable tax charges, possibly influenced by changes in profitability, tax regulations, or accounting estimates.
Cash Operating Taxes
Cash operating taxes demonstrated a generally volatile trend as well. Starting at 1387 million USD in 2020, there was a decline to 1003 million USD by 2022. Subsequently, the amount increased substantially to 1697 million USD in 2023, marking the peak in this timeframe. The value then decreased to 1328 million USD in 2024. This fluctuation may reflect differences in actual cash paid versus tax provisions, timing of payments, or underlying operational profitability.

However, it rose significantly to 23,613 million USD in 2022, indicating a marked increase in leverage or obligations during that year. Subsequently, the debt declined again to 20,110 million USD in 2023 and further decreased to 18,544 million USD in 2024, suggesting efforts to reduce debt levels after the peak in 2022.

An increase was observed from 27,578 million USD in 2020 to 28,269 million USD in 2021, followed by a decline to 26,883 million USD in 2022. Equity then recovered to 28,332 million USD in 2023 before a slight decrease to 26,932 million USD in 2024. These fluctuations may reflect changes in retained earnings, share repurchases, or other equity transactions.
Invested capital

Starting at 61,366 million USD in 2020, it increased marginally to 61,560 million USD in 2021 and reached a peak of 63,833 million USD in 2022. However, it dropped to 61,495 million USD in 2023 and further declined to 60,269 million USD in 2024. This trend indicates that the company maintained a steady level of capital investment with slight adjustments possibly related to asset acquisitions or disposals and working capital changes.

Economic Profit
The economic profit exhibited considerable volatility over the five-year period. Beginning at a negative value of -1286 million US dollars in 2020, it improved to -584 million in 2021 but then sharply declined to -2523 million in 2022. In subsequent years, there was a significant recovery, with the economic profit nearing break-even at -92 million in 2023 and turning slightly positive at 7 million in 2024. This pattern indicates initial substantial losses, followed by a marked recovery towards profitability.
Invested Capital
The invested capital demonstrated relative stability, with values consistently ranging between approximately 60 billion and 64 billion US dollars. Starting at 61,366 million in 2020, it increased modestly to 63,833 million by 2022 before gradually declining to 60,269 million by 2024. This trend suggests a slight contraction in invested capital after a period of incremental growth.
Economic Spread Ratio
The economic spread ratio, reflecting the difference between return on invested capital and cost of capital, was negative throughout the period but showed improvement. It started at -2.1% in 2020, improved to -0.95% in 2021, then worsened substantially to -3.95% in 2022. Following this dip, it recovered to -0.15% in 2023 and crossed into positive territory at 0.01% in 2024. The progression indicates oscillations in operational efficiency or cost management, with recent signs of achieving returns slightly above the cost of capital.
Overall Summary
The financial data reveals a challenging period marked by volatility in profitability and efficiency metrics. Although economic profit and spread experienced significant fluctuations, the latest periods indicate a trend towards stabilization and marginal profitability. The invested capital remained mostly stable with a recent downward adjustment. The incremental improvement in economic spread to a slight positive suggests enhanced value creation potential moving forward.

Economic profit
The economic profit demonstrated significant fluctuations over the analyzed period. Initially, it showed a substantial loss of -1286 million USD in 2020, which improved significantly to -584 million USD in 2021. However, in 2022, there was a sharp decline, with economic profit dropping to -2523 million USD. Following this, a notable recovery occurred in 2023, with the economic profit loss narrowing considerably to -92 million USD, and by 2024, it turned positive at 7 million USD, indicating a return to profitability based on economic profit metrics.
Net revenues
Net revenues displayed a consistent upward trend throughout the five years. Starting at 26,581 million USD in 2020, revenues increased each year, reaching 28,720 million USD in 2021, 31,496 million USD in 2022, 36,016 million USD in 2023, and slightly more to 36,441 million USD in 2024. This steady growth in revenues suggests strong sales performance and possibly successful market strategies over time.
Economic profit margin
The economic profit margin mirrored the volatility seen in economic profit. It improved from a negative margin of -4.84% in 2020 to -2.03% in 2021, indicating a reduction in economic losses relative to revenues. In 2022, the margin deteriorated significantly to -8.01%, reflecting greater economic losses despite revenue growth. There was a marked improvement in 2023, where the margin approached breakeven at -0.25%, and in 2024, it barely moved into positive territory at 0.02%. This progression aligns with the trend toward economic profitability observed in the raw economic profit figures.
