Mondelez International’s Q1 2025 Earnings: A Mixed Bag

Mondelez International ( (MDLZ) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Mondelez International presented to its investors.

Mondelez International, Inc. is a global leader in the snacking industry, known for its iconic brands such as Oreo, Cadbury, and Toblerone, operating in over 150 countries worldwide.

In its Q1 2025 earnings report, Mondelez International reported a slight increase in net revenues by 0.2%, with organic net revenue growth of 3.1%. However, the company faced significant challenges with a sharp decline in diluted EPS by 70.2% to $0.31, primarily due to the impact of cocoa cost inflation and other unfavorable market conditions.

Key financial metrics highlighted in the report include a gross profit of $2.43 billion, down 48.8% from the previous year, and an operating income of $680 million, a 75.1% decrease. Despite these challenges, Mondelez returned $2.1 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder value.

The company remains optimistic about its strategic growth initiatives, aiming for a 5% organic net revenue growth for the full year 2025. Mondelez is focused on navigating the volatile market environment, driven by geopolitical uncertainties and commodity price fluctuations, to sustain its market position and shareholder returns.
