Brearton Title: Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Exhibit 99.1 Contacts: Michael Mitchell (Media) Dexter Congbalay (Investors) +1 -847 -943 -5678 +1 -847 -943 -5454 [email protected] [email protected] Mondel ēz International Reports First Quarter 2013 Results 1 • Net revenues were $8.7 billion; Organic Net Revenues increased 3.8% 1 • Diluted EPS was $0.32; Operating EPS was $0.34, up 22.6% on a constant currency basis • Company reaffirms 2013 Organic Net Revenue growth outlook at the low end of 5 – 7% range and raises Operating EPS guidance to $1.55 – $1.60 DEERFIELD, Ill. – May 7, 2013 – Mondel ēz International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDLZ) today reported first quarter 2013 results. “Our first quarter results were in line with the expectations we outlined earlier this year as we work through some near-term headwinds,” said Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO. “Although we’re not satisfied that our top-line growth remained below our long-term target, our results show that we’ve built solid underlying momentum. And I’m confident that we’ll deliver our 2013 commitments as we continue to leverage our advantaged category mix, leading market positions and strong geographic footprint, particularly in emerging markets 2 .” Net revenues were $8.7 billion, up 0.9 percent. Organic Net Revenues increased 3.8 percent, including solid contributions from higher volume/mix of 2.5 percentage points and favorable pricing of 1.3 percentage points. The pass-through of lower coffee commodity costs tempered the company’s overall top-line growth by 1.3 percentage points. Revenues from emerging markets accelerated sequentially, up 9.3 percent, led by double-digit gains in China, Brazil and India, and continued improvement in Russia. Developed markets 3 grew 0.4 percent, with growth in North America partially offset by the impact of lower coffee pricing in Europe and continued gum weakness. Power Brands grew 7.5 percent, nearly double the company rate. Tuc/Club Social, Chips Ahoy! , Barni and Oreo biscuits, Milka , Cadbury Dairy Milk and Lacta chocolate, Halls candy, Stride gum and Tang beverages each posted strong increases. Gross profit was $3.2 billion, up 1.5 percent, while gross profit margin was 37.1 percent. Adjusted Gross Profit 1 increased 3.9 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by strong volume/mix gains. Pricing fully offset higher input costs. Adjusted Gross Profit margin was flat to prior year. 1 Operating income was $0.8 billion, down 7.6 percent, while operating income margin was 9.5 percent. Adjusted Operating Income 1 decreased 4.0 percent on a constant currency basis, and included a negative 3.4 percentage point impact from previously disclosed prior year one-time items. 4 Excluding these items, gross profit gains were more than offset by higher SG&A predominately in emerging markets, including increased investments in sales capabilities, route-to-market expansion as well as advertising and consumer support. Adjusted Operating Income margin was 10.3 percent, down 1.6 percentage points, including the negative impacts of 0.6 percentage points due to the devaluation of net monetary assets in Venezuela and 0.4 percentage points from prior year one-time items. 4 Diluted EPS was $0.32. Operating EPS was $0.34, including a negative $0.04 impact from currency. On a constant currency basis, Operating EPS increased 22.6 percent, reflecting a positive $0.09 impact of lower taxes, primarily from discrete items. Strong Momentum in Latin America Led by Brazil Latin America delivered strong top-line growth driven by a resurgence in Brazil and solid performance in other key markets in the region. Net revenues increased 2.0 percent. Organic Net Revenues grew 12.6 percent, with contributions from both higher pricing and volume/mix. Brazil increased mid-teens with double-digit volume/mix gains and higher pricing. Power Brands grew 12.3 percent, led by Club Social and Oreo biscuits, Lacta chocolate and Halls candy. Segment operating income decreased 43.6 percent. Segment operating income margin decreased 5.3 percentage points to 6.6 percent. Adjusted Segment Operating Income was flat versus prior year on a constant currency basis. Higher gross profit was offset by higher overheads, including increased investments in sales capabilities and route-to-market expansion. Adjusted Segment Operating Income margin was 6.9 percent, down 5.7 percentage points primarily due to negative impacts from the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. Emerging Markets in Asia Pacific Drove Solid Top-line Growth Asia Pacific delivered strong emerging markets performance despite capacity constraints in India, while the region’s developed markets restrained overall growth. Net revenues increased 3.6 percent. Organic Net Revenues grew 5.8 percent, driven by both higher volume/mix and pricing. Organic Net Revenues for the region’s emerging markets grew double digits, led by China, India and the Philippines. Developed markets in the region declined low single digits, largely due to gum weakness in Japan. 2 Power Brands grew very strongly, up 20.3 percent, led by Oreo and Chips Ahoy! biscuits, Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, Halls candy, Stride gum and Tang beverages. Segment operating income increased 6.8 percent. Segment operating income margin increased 0.4 percentage points to 13.8 percent. Adjusted Segment Operating Income increased 4.8 percent on a constant currency basis, including a positive 10.1 percentage point impact from cycling of a prior year asset impairment charge. Excluding this impact, higher gross profit was more than offset by higher overheads, including increased investments in sales capabilities and route-to-market expansion, as well as increased A&C support. Adjusted Segment Operating Income margin decreased 0.1 percentage point to 14.1 percent. Strong Volume/Mix Growth for EEMEA Strong volume/mix gains across the region, as well as continued sequential improvement in Russia, drove solid top-line growth for the Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Net revenues increased 1.6 percent. Organic Net Revenues grew 4.0 percent, as strong volume/mix gains were partially offset by lower pricing. Russia continued to improve sequentially with organic growth in the low single digits behind strong volume/mix performance, partially offset by significantly lower pricing in coffee and chocolate. Power Brands grew 8.1 percent, led by Oreo and Barni biscuits, Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, Halls candy, and Jacobs and Tang beverages. Segment operating income decreased 55.8 percent. Segment operating income margin decreased 9.2 percentage points to 7.1 percent. Adjusted Segment Operating Income decreased 46.5 percent on a constant currency basis, including a negative 38.2 percentage point impact from cycling the prior year’s gain on the sale of property in Russia.

This lack of up-and-coming talent is a decisive factor limiting the growth and prosperity of many companies in Germany. It has become more and more difficult for qualified talent and specialized companies to find one another. The Jacobs Career Fair offers a mutual solution for both challenges; it is a place where companies and specialized talent have an opportunity to come into direct exchange. Companies have the chance to meet highly motivated, curious and internationally oriented young individuals – whilst our students have the opportunity to get in touch with companies and organizations from a wide variety of size, sector, and work area. Students at Jacobs University enjoy an outstanding, interdisciplinary education on a diverse campus of more than 100 nationalities. They are equipped with a broad, yet solid, expertise in their respective fields, paired with leadership and intercultural skills. In a rapidly changing working environment, characterized by digitization and globalization, they see challenges and engage in solving them. These skills and com- petences make Jacobs students very attractive for employers. Now in its fifth year, the Jacobs Career Fair has established itself as a successful and popular networking platform.

  • U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in the Western Hemisphere Processed Food Industry
    U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in the Western Hemisphere Processed Food Industry. By Christine Bolling, Market and Trade Economics Division, Steve Neff, and Charles Handy, Food and Rural Economics Division, Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agricultural Economic Report No. 760. Abstract Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become the leading means for U.S. processed food companies to participate in international markets. Affiliates of U.S.-owned food processing companies had $30 billion in sales throughout the Western Hemisphere in 1995, nearly 4 times the level of processed food exports. This report puts U.S. foreign direct investment and trade in processed foods to the region into global perspective, and finds evidence that, in the aggregate for the 1990’s, trade and FDI are comple- mentary—not competitive—means of accessing international food markets. Incomes have grown sufficiently in most countries to support growth in affiliate sales and U.S. exports, indicating a strong demand for a wide variety of processed foods. Keywords: U.S. food processing industry, Western Hemisphere, foreign trade, foreign direct investment Acknowledgments The authors acknowledge the helpful reviews of Richard Brown, Nicole Ballenger, Mary Burfisher, Steve Haley, Dennis Henderson, Gregory Pompelli, David Skully, and Francis Tuan.

  • United States District Court Eastern District of Kentucky Northern Division at Covington
    Case: 2:10-cv-00035-DLB-CJS Doc #: 80 Filed: 08/18/10 Page: 1 of 24 - Page ID#: <pageID> UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY NORTHERN DIVISION AT COVINGTON CIVIL ACTION NO. 10-35-DLB PERFETTI VAN MELLE USA, ET AL. PLAINTIFFS vs. MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER CADBURY ADAMS USA LLC DEFENDANT * * * * * * * Plaintiffs, owners of the registered trademarks “Mentos Pure Fresh” and “Pure White” for chewing gum, commenced the instant action after learning of Defendant’s intention to market a competing gum under the name “Dentyne Pure.” Plaintiffs assert causes of action for trademark infringement, false description, and false designation of origin under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114(1), 1125(a), as well as trademark infringement and unfair competition under Kentucky law, Ky. Rev. Stat. §§ 365.100, 365.110, 365.601(2), and seek a variety of relief including preliminary and permanent injunctions, disgorgement of profits, compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. This matter is currently before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction. (Doc. #9). The motion has been fully briefed (Docs. #20, 29, 49), and the Court heard two days of testimony on the issues involved; Plaintiffs’ motion is therefore ripe for adjudication. For the reasons set forth below, because Plaintiffs have not shown that 1 Case: 2:10-cv-00035-DLB-CJS Doc #: 80 Filed: 08/18/10 Page: 2 of 24 - Page ID#: <pageID> consumers are likely to be confused as to the source of the parties’ competing chewing gum products, Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. #9) is denied.
