Mondelez International Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Mondelez International (NASDAQ:MDLZ) reported strong second-quarter performance with 4.4% top-line growth driven by volume gains and improved execution across key markets. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to at least 2% while maintaining EPS guidance, citing reinvestment in emerging markets like India, Mexico, Brazil, China, and Southeast Asia. Emerging markets remain a core focus for Mondelez due to underpenetrated snacking categories and ongoing distribution expansion. The company added 100,000 stores in India alone and now reaches over one million retail locations across its global operations. North America showed sequential improvement with positive volume mix and strong net revenue growth. Management expects Europe to recover in the second half as pricing comparisons ease but warned of cocoa-related timing effects impacting third-quarter earnings before a reversal is expected in Q4.
