Delivering Resilient Growth
Mondelēz International has continued to deliver against its long-term growth algorithm, including 4.3% organic net revenue growth and 5.1% adjusted gross profit dollar growth in 2024, despite record cocoa input cost inflation, demonstrating consumers’ continued loyalty to their favorite chocolate, biscuits, and baked snacks brands. The Company’s $2 billion cakes and pastries business, which currently holds a #3 global share position, is growing share and is well-positioned to accelerate growth.
“We have always remained focused on a simple but proven playbook: Acquiring the right opportunities, executing a strong integration plan, and accelerating growth in our newly acquired brands through expanded distribution and elevated marketing capabilities.”
Luca Zaramella, Chief Financial Officer, Mondelēz International
