Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation:

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following SEC rules for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, we have condensed or omitted a number of footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. Net revenues and net earnings for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.

You should read these statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include Kraft Foods, as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Our domestic operating subsidiaries report results as of the last Saturday of the quarter, and our international operating subsidiaries generally report results two weeks prior to the last Saturday of the quarter. The results of operations of the newly acquired Cadbury Limited (formerly, Cadbury plc) (“Cadbury”) are reported on the last day of the calendar month.

In the second quarter of 2010, we changed the consolidation date for certain European Biscuits operations, which are included within our Kraft Foods Europe segment, and certain operations in Asia Pacific, which are included within our Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment. Previously, these operations primarily reported period-end results one month prior to the end of the quarter and now report period-end results two weeks prior to the last Saturday of the quarter. We believe the change is preferable and will improve financial reporting by better matching the close dates of each subsidiary to our other international operating subsidiaries, which operate similarly. This change resulted in a favorable impact to net revenues of approximately $70 million and had an insignificant impact on net earnings. As the impacts to prior period results were not material to our financial results, we have not revised the prior period results for this change.

Highly Inflationary Accounting:

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Venezuelan economy was classified as highly inflationary under U.S. GAAP. Effective January 1, 2010, we are accounting for our Venezuelan subsidiaries under highly inflationary accounting rules, which principally means all transactions are recorded in U.S. dollars. Venezuela has three exchange rates: the official rate, the consumer staples rate and the secondary (or parallel) rate. We used both the official rate and the secondary rate to translate our Venezuelan operations into U.S. dollars, based on the nature of the operations of each individual subsidiary. Additionally, we previously carried cash that we had exchanged into U.S. dollars using the secondary market at that rate. Upon the change to highly inflationary accounting, we were then required to translate those U.S. dollars on hand using the official rate, which resulted in a charge of $34 million in the first quarter of 2010.

On January 8, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency. Accordingly, we were required to revalue our net assets in Venezuela. Through the first six months of 2010, we recorded approximately $65 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts relating to highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela (which included the one-time impact to translate cash of $34 million).

Table of Contents

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2009, new guidance was issued on the consolidation of variable interest entities. We adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2010. This guidance increases the likelihood of an enterprise being classified as a variable interest entity. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial results.

Note 2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures:

Cadbury Acquisition:

On January 19, 2010, we announced the terms of our final offer for each outstanding ordinary share of Cadbury, including each ordinary share represented by an American Depositary Share (“Cadbury ADS”), and the Cadbury Board of Directors recommended that Cadbury shareholders accept the terms of the final offer. On February 2, 2010, all of the conditions to the offer were satisfied or validly waived, the initial offer period expired and a subsequent offer period immediately began. At that point, we had received acceptances of 71.73% of the outstanding Cadbury ordinary shares, including those represented by Cadbury ADSs (“Cadbury Shares”). As of June 1, 2010, we owned 100% of all outstanding Cadbury Shares. We believe the combination of Kraft Foods and Cadbury will create a global snacks powerhouse and an unrivaled portfolio of brands people love.

Under the terms of our final offer and the subsequent offer, we agreed to pay Cadbury shareholders 500 pence in cash and 0.1874 shares of Kraft Foods Common Stock per Cadbury ordinary share validly tendered and 2,000 pence in cash and 0.7496 shares of Kraft Foods Common Stock per Cadbury ADS validly tendered. This valued Cadbury at $18.5 billion, or approximately £11.6 billion (based on the average price of $28.36 for a share of Kraft Foods Common Stock on February 2, 2010 and an exchange rate of $1.595 per £1.00).

The EU Commission required, as a condition of the offer, that we divest the Cadbury confectionery operations in Poland and Romania. In June 2010, we entered into an agreement to divest the confectionery operations in Poland, and we expect the sale to close in the third quarter of 2010. In July 2010, we entered into an agreement to divest the confectionery operations in Romania, and we expect the sale to close in the third quarter of 2010. Both sales are subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The estimated impacts of these divestitures were reflected as adjustments to the purchase price allocations.

As part of our Cadbury acquisition, we expensed and incurred transaction related fees of $12 million for the three months and $215 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these expenses within marketing, administration and research costs. We also incurred acquisition financing fees of $96 million in the first quarter of 2010. We recorded these expenses within interest and other expense, net.

Cadbury contributed net revenues of $3,922 million and net earnings of $175 million from February 2, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents Kraft Foods’ consolidated information as if Cadbury had been acquired on January 1, 2009. These amounts were calculated after conversion to U.S. GAAP, applying our accounting policies, and adjusting Cadbury’s results to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2009, together with the consequential tax effects. These adjustments also reflect the additional interest expense incurred on the debt to finance the purchase.

Pizza Divestiture:

On March 1, 2010, we completed the sale of the assets of our North American frozen pizza business (“Frozen Pizza”) to Nestlé USA, Inc. (“Nestlé”) for $3.7 billion. Our Frozen Pizza business was a component of our U.S. Convenient Meals and Canada & North America Foodservice segments. The sale included the DiGiorno, Tombstone and Jack’s brands in the U.S., the Delissio brand in Canada and the California Pizza Kitchen trademark license. It also included two Wisconsin manufacturing facilities (Medford and Little Chute) and the leases for the pizza depots and delivery trucks. Approximately 3,600 of our employees transferred with the business to Nestlé. Accordingly, the results of our Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, and prior period results have been revised in a consistent manner.

 

Pursuant to the Frozen Pizza business Transition Services Agreement, we agreed to provide certain sales, co-manufacturing, distribution, information technology, accounting and finance services to Nestlé for up to two years.

 

Summary results of operations for the Frozen Pizza business through June 30, 2010 were:

Acquisitions – We increased goodwill by $9,431 million and intangible assets by $12,723 million related to allocations of purchase price for our Cadbury acquisition, including the second quarter impacts of our refinements to preliminary allocations, which are substantially complete; however, these allocations are subject to revision upon their finalization in the third quarter of 2010. We recorded $2,167 million of the acquired goodwill in our U.S. Snacks segment, $929 million in our Canada & N.A. Foodservice segment, $2,612 million in our Kraft Foods Europe segment and $3,723 million in our Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment.

   

Divestitures – We reduced goodwill by $475 million due to our Frozen Pizza business divestiture.

Table of Contents

Amortization expense was $60 million for the three months and $93 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We currently estimate amortization expense for each of the next five years to be approximately $210 million, including the estimated impact of our Cadbury acquisition. Our estimated amortization is subject to revision when appraisals are finalized for our Cadbury acquisition.

Note 6.  Restructuring Costs:

Integration Program:

We believe our combination with Cadbury has the potential for meaningful revenue synergies over time from investments in distribution, marketing and product development. In order to achieve these synergies and cost savings, we expect to incur total integration charges of approximately $1.5 billion in the first three years following the acquisition to combine and integrate the two businesses (the “Integration Program”), which also represents an increase over our previous expectation of approximately $1.3 billion.

Integration Program costs include the costs associated with combining our operations with Cadbury’s and are separate from the costs related to the acquisition. We incurred charges under the Integration Program of $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets.

During the second quarter of 2010, we evaluated Cadbury’s Vision into Action (“VIA”) restructuring program and began managing it within our overall Integration Program. Cadbury initiated the VIA restructuring program in 2007 and planned to run it through 2011. Accordingly, we acquired an accrual of $248 million relating to charges taken in previous periods. In evaluating their program as part of our corporate strategies and our integration plans, we included the remaining charges within our overall Integration Program. As we move forward on a combined company basis, we do not intend to manage these programs separately.

Liability activity for Integration Program in the first six months of 2010 was (in millions):

   $         241           
                  

Cost Savings Initiatives:

Cost savings initiatives generally include exit, disposal and other project savings costs. We incurred charges associated with our cost savings initiatives of $42 million for the three months and $76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Canada & N.A. Foodservice. These charges primarily included other project savings costs associated with the Kraft Foods Europe Reorganization. Even though other project savings costs were directly attributable to exit and disposal costs, they did not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities.

2004 – 2008 Restructuring Program:

In 2008, we completed our five-year restructuring program (the “Restructuring Program”). The Restructuring Program’s objectives were to leverage our global scale, realign and lower our cost structure, and optimize capacity. As part of the Restructuring Program, we:

 

   

incurred $3.0 billion in pre-tax charges reflecting asset disposals, severance and implementation costs;

   

announced the closure of 35 facilities and the elimination of approximately 18,600 positions; and

   

will use cash to pay for $2.0 billion of the $3.0 billion in charges.

Table of Contents

Since the inception of the Restructuring Program, we have paid cash for $1.7 billion of the $2.0 billion in expected cash payments, including $41 million paid in the first six months of 2010.

Restructuring liability activity for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was (in millions):

Our 2010 activity was related to cash outflows on prior year Restructuring Program charges. Our prior year charges included severance benefits received by terminated employees. Other prior year costs related primarily to the renegotiation of supplier contract costs, workforce reductions associated with facility closings and the termination of leasing agreements.

Borrowing Arrangements:

We maintain a revolving credit facility that we have historically used for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes, and to support our commercial paper issuances. Our $4.5 billion three-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility expires in November 2012. No amounts have been drawn on the facility.

The revolving credit facility agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses), of at least $28.6 billion. This covenant was increased by $5.6 billion to $28.6 billion due to our Cadbury acquisition. At June 30, 2010, our total shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses), was $39.3 billion. We expect to continue to meet this covenant. The revolving credit facility agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. However, there are no other financial covenants, credit rating triggers or provisions that could require us to post collateral as security.

Cadbury maintained a three-year, £450 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility that we terminated effective June 30, 2010.

In addition to the above, some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2010. Borrowings on these lines amounted to $291 million at June 30, 2010 and $191 million at December 31, 2009.

As part of our Cadbury acquisition, on November 9, 2009, we entered into an agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Cadbury Bridge Facility”). During the first quarter of 2010, we borrowed £807 million under the Cadbury Bridge Facility, and later repaid it ($1,205 million at the time of repayment) with proceeds from the divestiture of our Frozen Pizza business. Upon repayment, the Cadbury Bridge Facility was terminated.

Long-Term Debt:

On February 8, 2010, we issued $9.5 billion of senior unsecured notes at a weighted-average effective rate of 5.364% and used the net proceeds ($9,379 million) to finance the Cadbury acquisition and for general corporate purposes. The general terms of the $9.5 billion notes are:

 

   

$1.00 billion total principal notes due May 8, 2013 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 2.625%. Interest is payable semiannually beginning November 8, 2010.

   

$1.75 billion total principal notes due February 9, 2016 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 4.125%. Interest is payable semiannually beginning August 9, 2010.

   

$3.75 billion total principal notes due February 10, 2020 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 5.375%. Interest is payable semiannually beginning August 10, 2010.

   

$3.00 billion total principal notes due February 9, 2040 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 6.500%. Interest is payable semiannually beginning August 9, 2010.

In addition, these notes include covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt secured by liens above a certain threshold. We also must offer to purchase these notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, if both of the following occur:

 

   (i) a “change of control” triggering event, and
  (ii) a downgrade of these notes below an investment grade rating by each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch, Inc. within a specified period.

The fair value of the long-term debt we acquired as part of our Cadbury acquisition was $2,432 million at February 2, 2010. The acquired debt has the following terms:

 

   

£77 million (approximately $115 million) total principal notes due December 1, 2010 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 4.875%.

   

C$150 million (approximately $141 million) Canadian bank loan agreement expiring August 30, 2012 at a variable interest rate. The interest rate at June 30, 2010 was 0.735%.

   

$1.00 billion total principal notes due October 1, 2013 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 5.125%.

   

£300 million (approximately $448 million) total principal notes due December 11, 2014 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 5.375%.

   

£350 million (approximately $523 million) total principal notes due July 18, 2018 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 7.250%.

We expect to continue to comply with our long-term debt covenants.

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our long-term debt consisted of (interest rates were as of June 30, 2010):

Note 10.  Stock Plans:

Restricted and Deferred Stock:

In January 2010, we granted 1.9 million shares of stock in connection with our long-term incentive plan, and the market value per share was $27.33 on the date of grant. In February 2010, as part of our annual equity program, we issued 2.5 million shares of restricted and deferred stock to eligible employees, and the market value per restricted or deferred share was $29.15 on the date of grant. During the first six months of 2010, we issued an additional 0.8 million shares of restricted and deferred stock, including shares issued to Cadbury employees in the second quarter of 2010 under our annual equity program. The weighted-average market value per restricted or deferred share was $29.54 on the date of grant. In aggregate, we issued 5.2 million restricted and deferred shares during the first six months of 2010, including those issued as part of our long-term incentive plan.

During the first six months of 2010, 3.9 million shares of restricted and deferred stock vested at a market value of $112 million.

Stock Options:

In February 2010, as part of our annual equity program, we granted 15.0 million stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price of $29.15. During the first six months of 2010, we granted an additional 3.0 million stock options, including options granted to Cadbury employees in the second quarter of 2010 under our annual equity program. The weighted-average exercise price was $29.72. In aggregate, we granted 18.0 million stock options in the first six months of 2010.

There were 3.1 million stock options exercised during the first six months of 2010 with a total intrinsic value of $41 million.

A significant portion of the 2010 increase in non-U.S. net periodic pension cost related to the Cadbury acquisition. The following costs are included within other expenses above. Severance payments related to our cost savings initiatives and lump-sum payments made to retired employees resulted in settlement losses under our U.S. plans of $14 million for the three months and $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and $40 million for the three months and $66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our U.S. plans also incurred a $5 million curtailment charge in the first quarter of 2010 related to the divestiture of our Frozen Pizza business.

Employer Contributions:

We make contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, primarily to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability. During the first six months of 2010, we contributed $24 million to our U.S. plans and $132 million to our non-U.S. plans. Based on current tax law, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $30 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $150 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2010. However, our actual contributions may differ due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, or significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.

Hedge Coverage:

As of June 30, 2010, we had hedged forecasted transactions for the following durations:

 

   

commodity transactions for periods not exceeding the next 18 months;

   

interest rate transactions for periods not exceeding the next 32 years and 10 months; and

   

foreign currency transactions for periods not exceeding the next 19 months.

Note 13.  Commitments and Contingencies:

 

Legal Proceedings:

We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, we do not believe that the ultimate costs to resolve any of the Legal Matters will have a material effect on our financial results.

 

Third-Party Guarantees:

We have third-party guarantees primarily covering the long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of those transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At June 30, 2010, the carrying amount of our third-party guarantees on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $29 million. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2018.

Note 14.  Income Taxes:

As of January 1, 2010, our unrecognized tax benefits were $829 million. If we had recognized all of these benefits, the net impact on our income tax provision would have been $661 million. Our unrecognized tax benefits were $1,155 million at June 30, 2010, and if we had recognized all of these benefits, the net impact to our income tax provision would have been $887 million. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $50 million during the next 12 months due to the potential resolution of certain foreign, U.S. federal and state examinations. Furthermore, we recorded $301 million of unrecognized tax benefits and $35 million of accrued interest and penalties as part of our purchase price allocations for Cadbury, which are subject to revision when the purchase price allocations are finalized in the third quarter of 2010. We include accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our tax provision. We had accrued interest and penalties of $210 million as of January 1, 2010 and $213 million as of June 30, 2010.

Note 16.   Segment Reporting:

We manufacture and market packaged food products, including snacks, beverages, cheese, convenient meals and various packaged grocery products. We manage and report operating results through three geographic units: Kraft Foods North America, Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets. We manage the operations of Kraft Foods North America and Kraft Foods Europe by product category, and we manage the operations of Kraft Foods Developing Markets by location. Our reportable segments are U.S. Beverages, U.S. Cheese, U.S. Convenient Meals, U.S. Grocery, U.S. Snacks, Canada & N.A. Foodservice, Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets. The results from our Cadbury acquisition are reflected within our U.S. Snacks, Canada & N.A. Foodservice, Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets segments.

Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), certain components of our U.S. pension plan cost (which is a component of cost of sales and marketing, administration and research costs), general corporate expenses (which are a component of marketing, administration and research costs) and amortization of intangibles for all periods presented. We exclude certain components of our U.S. pension plan cost from segment operating income because we centrally manage pension plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and other actuarial assumptions. Therefore, we allocate only the service cost component of our U.S. pension plan expense to segment operating income. We exclude the unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, we record gains and losses on hedging activities within segment operating results. Furthermore, we centrally manage interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

General Corporate Expenses – The 2010 increase in general corporate expenses was primarily due to acquisition-related transaction fees, Integration Program costs and the impact of Cadbury’s corporate charges.

Restructuring Costs – We incurred charges under the Integration Program of $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets. We also incurred charges associated with our cost savings initiatives of $42 million for the three months and $76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Canada & N.A. Foodservice.

(1)       Biscuits and Confectionery were previously reported combined and known as Snacks. With the Cadbury acquisition, the Biscuits and Confectionery sectors have been separately broken out. The Biscuits sector primarily includes Cookies, Crackers and Nuts. The Confectionery sector primarily includes Chocolate, Gum and Candy.

Note 17.   Subsequent Events:

We evaluated subsequent events and included all accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events in our financial statements.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Description of the Company

We manufacture and market packaged food products, including snacks, beverages, cheese, convenient meals and various packaged grocery products. We have operations in more than 80 countries and sell our products in approximately 170 countries.

Executive Summary

This executive summary provides significant highlights of the Discussion and Analysis that follows.

 

   

Net revenues increased 25.3% to $12.3 billion in the second quarter of 2010 and increased 25.6% to $23.6 billion in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

 

   

Diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods decreased 5.4% to $0.53 in the second quarter of 2010 and increased 67.0% to $1.67 in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Table of Contents
   

Diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods from continuing operations remained unchanged at $0.53 in the second quarter of 2010 and decreased 24.7% to $0.70 in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

 

   

On February 2, 2010, we had received acceptances to our offer of 71.73% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Cadbury. From February 2, 2010 through June 1, 2010, we acquired the remaining 28.27% of Cadbury’s Shares. In acquiring Cadbury, we issued 262 million shares of our Common Stock and paid $10.9 billion in cash.

 

   

On February 8, 2010, we issued $9.5 billion of senior unsecured notes at a weighted-average effective rate of 5.364% and primarily used the net proceeds ($9,379 million) to finance the Cadbury acquisition.

 

   

On March 1, 2010, we completed the sale of the assets of our North American frozen pizza business to Nestlé USA, Inc. for $3.7 billion. Accordingly, the results of our Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, and prior period results have been revised in a consistent manner.

Discussion and Analysis

Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Cadbury Acquisition:

On January 19, 2010, we announced the terms of our final offer for each outstanding ordinary share of Cadbury Limited (formerly, Cadbury plc) (“Cadbury”), including each ordinary share represented by an American Depositary Share (“Cadbury ADS”), and the Cadbury Board of Directors recommended that Cadbury shareholders accept the terms of the final offer. On February 2, 2010, all of the conditions to the offer were satisfied or validly waived, the initial offer period expired and a subsequent offer period immediately began. At that point, we had received acceptances of 71.73% of the outstanding Cadbury ordinary shares, including those represented by Cadbury ADSs (“Cadbury Shares”). As of June 1, 2010, we owned 100% of all outstanding Cadbury Shares. We believe the combination of Kraft Foods and Cadbury will create a global snacks powerhouse and an unrivaled portfolio of brands people love.

Under the terms of our final offer and the subsequent offer, we agreed to pay Cadbury shareholders 500 pence in cash and 0.1874 shares of Kraft Foods Common Stock per Cadbury ordinary share validly tendered and 2,000 pence in cash and 0.7496 shares of Kraft Foods Common Stock per Cadbury ADS validly tendered. This valued Cadbury at $18.5 billion, or approximately £11.6 billion (based on the average price of $28.36 for a share of Kraft Foods Common Stock on February 2, 2010 and an exchange rate of $1.595 per £1.00).

The EU Commission required, as a condition of the offer, that we divest the Cadbury confectionery operations in Poland and Romania. In June 2010, we entered into an agreement to divest the confectionery operations in Poland, and we expect the sale to close in the third quarter of 2010. In July 2010, we entered into an agreement to divest the confectionery operations in Romania, and we expect the sale to close in the third quarter of 2010. Both sales are subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The estimated impacts of these divestitures were reflected as adjustments to the purchase price allocations.

As part of our Cadbury acquisition, we expensed and incurred transaction related fees of $12 million for the three months and $215 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these expenses within marketing, administration and research costs. We also incurred acquisition financing fees of $96 million in the first quarter of 2010. We recorded these expenses within interest and other expense, net.

Cadbury contributed net revenues of $3,922 million and net earnings of $175 million from February 2, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents Kraft Foods’ consolidated information as if Cadbury had been acquired on January 1, 2009. These amounts were calculated after conversion to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), applying our accounting policies, and adjusting Cadbury’s results to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2009, together with the consequential tax effects. These adjustments also reflect the additional interest expense incurred on the debt to finance the purchase.

On February 2, 2010, we acquired 71.73% of Cadbury’s Shares for $13.1 billion and the value attributed to noncontrolling interests was $5.4 billion. From February 2, 2010 through June 1, 2010, we acquired the remaining 28.27% of Cadbury’s Shares for $5.4 billion. We had a $38 million gain on noncontrolling interest acquired and recorded it within additional paid in capital.

 

Our February 2, 2010 Cadbury acquisition was valued at $18,547 million, or $17,500 million net of cash and cash equivalents. As part of that acquisition, we acquired the following assets and assumed the following liabilities (in millions):

The above amounts represent the allocation of purchase price and are subject to revision when appraisals are finalized, which will occur during the third quarter of 2010.

Pizza Divestiture:

On March 1, 2010, we completed the sale of the assets of our North American frozen pizza business (“Frozen Pizza”) to Nestlé USA, Inc. (“Nestlé”) for $3.7 billion. Our Frozen Pizza business was a component of our U.S. Convenient Meals and Canada & North America Foodservice segments. The sale included the DiGiorno, Tombstone and Jack’s brands in the U.S., the Delissio brand in Canada and the California Pizza Kitchen trademark license. It also included two Wisconsin manufacturing facilities (Medford and Little Chute) and the leases for the pizza depots and delivery trucks. Approximately 3,600 of our employees transferred with the business to Nestlé. Accordingly, the results of our Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, and prior period results have been revised in a consistent manner.

Pursuant to the Frozen Pizza business Transition Services Agreement, we agreed to provide certain sales, co-manufacturing, distribution, information technology, accounting and finance services to Nestlé for up to two years.

Distributed assets of the Frozen

   $ 894       
              

Other Divestitures:

In the second quarter of 2009, we received $6 million in proceeds and recorded pre-tax losses of $17 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on the divestitures of a juice operation in Brazil and a plant in Spain.

The operating results of these divestitures were not material to our financial results in any of the periods presented, neither individually nor in the aggregate.

Restructuring Costs

Integration Program:

We believe our combination with Cadbury has the potential for meaningful revenue synergies over time from investments in distribution, marketing and product development. In addition, we expect to realize annual costs savings of at least $750 million by the end of the third year following completion of the acquisition; this represents an increase of $75 million over our previous expectation. In order to achieve these synergies and cost savings, we expect to incur total integration charges of approximately $1.5 billion in the first three years following the acquisition to combine and integrate the two businesses (the “Integration Program”), which also represents an increase over our previous expectation of approximately $1.3 billion.

Integration Program costs include the costs associated with combining our operations with Cadbury’s and are separate from the costs related to the acquisition. We incurred charges under the Integration Program of $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets. At June 30, 2010, we had an accrual of $241 million related to the Integration Program.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2010, we evaluated Cadbury’s Vision into Action (“VIA”) restructuring program and began managing it within our overall Integration Program. Cadbury initiated the VIA restructuring program in 2007 and planned to run it through 2011. Accordingly, we acquired an accrual of $248 million relating to charges taken in previous periods. In evaluating their program as part of our corporate strategies and our integration plans, we included the remaining charges within our overall Integration Program. As we move forward on a combined company basis, we do not intend to manage these programs separately.

Cost Savings Initiatives:

Cost savings initiatives generally include exit, disposal and other project savings costs. We incurred charges associated with our cost savings initiatives of $42 million for the three months and $76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Canada & N.A. Foodservice. These charges primarily included other project savings costs associated with the Kraft Foods Europe Reorganization. Even though other project savings costs were directly attributable to exit and disposal costs, they did not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities.

2004 – 2008 Restructuring Program:

In 2008, we completed our five-year restructuring program (the “Restructuring Program”). The Restructuring Program’s objectives were to leverage our global scale, realign and lower our cost structure, and optimize capacity. As part of the Restructuring Program, we:

 

   

incurred $3.0 billion in pre-tax charges reflecting asset disposals, severance and implementation costs;

   

announced the closure of 35 facilities and the elimination of approximately 18,600 positions;

   

will use cash to pay for $2.0 billion of the $3.0 billion in charges; and

   

anticipate reaching cumulative, annualized savings of $1.4 billion for the total program.

In the second quarter of 2009, we sold a plant in Spain that we previously announced we would close under our Restructuring Program. Accordingly, we reversed $35 million in Restructuring Program charges during the second quarter of 2009, primarily related to severance, and recorded a $17 million loss on the divestiture of the plant. The reversal of the Restructuring Program costs, which affected the segment operating income of the Kraft Foods Europe segment, was recorded within asset impairment and exit costs.

Since the inception of the Restructuring Program, we have paid cash for $1.7 billion of the $2.0 billion in expected cash payments, including $41 million paid in the first six months of 2010. At June 30, 2010, we had accrued $196 million related to the Restructuring Program.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 25.6% in the second quarter of 2010 and 35.6% in the first six months of 2010. Our second quarter 2010 effective tax rate included net tax benefits of $104 million, primarily resulting from the resolution of a federal tax audit and several items in our international operations. For the first six months of 2010, our effective tax rate included net tax benefits of $32 million, primarily due to the second quarter resolution of a federal tax audit, the tax impacts of the highly inflationary accounting adjustments related to our Venezuelan subsidiaries, and the resolution of several items in our international operations, partially offset by a $137 million write-off of deferred tax assets as a result of the U.S. health care legislation enacted in March 2010.

Our effective tax rate was 31.7% in the second quarter of 2009 and 32.1% in the first six months of 2009. Our second quarter 2009 effective tax rate included net tax benefits of $37 million, primarily resulting from the resolution of state tax audits and several items in our international operations. For the first six months of 2009, our effective tax rate included net tax benefits of $62 million, primarily resulting from the resolution of tax audits and outstanding items in our international operations, and corrections of federal, state and foreign deferred taxes in the first quarter.

Favorable foreign currency increased net revenues by $73 million, due primarily to the strength of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Australian dollar and Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Venezuelan bolivar and euro. The Cadbury acquisition added $2,229 million in net revenues. The balance of the increase in net revenues was driven by favorable volume/mix, partially offset by lower net pricing, primarily in Kraft Foods Europe. The favorable volume/mix impact on revenues was driven primarily by higher base volume across all reportable segments except U.S. Cheese, U.S. Grocery and U.S. Snacks. In addition, the impact of divestitures had an unfavorable impact on revenues.

   $ 1,701           
                  

Our input costs decreased during the quarter, due to lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher raw material costs. The favorable volume/mix was primarily driven by strong contributions from Kraft Foods Developing Markets, Kraft Foods Europe, Canada & N.A. Foodservice, U.S. Beverages and U.S. Convenient Meals. The Cadbury acquisition, net of Integration Program and acquisition-related costs, increased operating income by $100 million. Total marketing, administration and research costs, as recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, increased $871 million from the second quarter of 2009, but excluding the impacts of divestitures, foreign currency and our Cadbury acquisition (including Integration Program and acquisition-related costs), decreased $28 million over the second quarter of 2009. We recognized gains of $22 million on the change in unrealized hedging positions in the second quarter of 2010, versus gains of $34 million in the second quarter of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, we reversed $35 million in Restructuring Program charges recorded in prior years and recorded an asset impairment charge of $9 million to write off an investment in Norway. In addition, unfavorable foreign currency decreased operating income by $9 million, due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Venezuelan bolivar and euro, which more than offset the strength of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and Korean won against the U.S. dollar.

Our input costs decreased during the quarter, due to lower manufacturing costs and lower raw material costs. The favorable volume/mix was primarily driven by strong contributions from Kraft Foods Developing Markets, Kraft Foods Europe, U.S. Beverages, U.S. Convenient Meals and Canada & N.A. Foodservice. The Cadbury acquisition, net of Integration Program and acquisition-related costs, increased operating income by $11 million. Total marketing, administration and research costs, as recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings, increased $1,802 million from the first six months of 2009, but excluding the impacts of divestitures, foreign currency and our Cadbury acquisition (including Integration Program and acquisition-related costs), increased $120 million over the first six months of 2009, primarily due to further investments in our brands. We recognized losses of $16 million on the change in unrealized hedging positions in the first six months of 2010, versus gains of $121 million in the first six months of 2009. During the first six months of 2009, we reversed $35 million in Restructuring Program charges recorded in prior years and recorded an asset impairment charge of $9 million to write off an investment in Norway. In addition, favorable foreign currency increased operating income by $68 million, due primarily to the strength of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Korean won, Australian dollar and euro against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Venezuelan bolivar.

In the second quarter of 2010, we changed the consolidation date for certain European Biscuits operations, which are included within our Kraft Foods Europe segment, and certain operations in Asia Pacific, which are included within our Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment. Previously, these operations primarily reported period-end results one month prior to the end of the quarter and now report period-end results two weeks prior to the last Saturday of the quarter. We believe the change is preferable and will improve financial reporting by better matching the close dates of each subsidiary to our other international operating subsidiaries, which operate similarly. This change resulted in a favorable impact to net revenues of approximately $70 million and had an insignificant impact on net earnings. As the impacts to prior period results were not material to our financial results, we have not revised the prior period results for this change.

As discussed in Note 16, Segment Reporting, management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), certain components of our U.S. pension plan cost (which is a component of cost of sales and marketing, administration and research costs), general corporate expenses (which are a component of marketing, administration and research costs) and amortization of intangibles for all periods presented. We exclude certain components of our U.S. pension plan cost from segment operating income because we centrally manage pension plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and other actuarial assumptions. Therefore, we allocate only the service cost component of our U.S. pension plan expense to segment operating income. We exclude the unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, we record the gains and losses on hedging activities within segment operating results.

The 2010 increase in general corporate expenses was primarily due to acquisition-related transaction fees, Integration Program costs and the impact of Cadbury’s corporate charges. We incurred charges under the Integration Program of $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets. We also incurred charges associated with our cost savings initiatives of $42 million for the three months and $76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily within general corporate expenses and the segment operating income of Kraft Foods Europe and Canada & N.A. Foodservice.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $50 million (6.0%), due to favorable volume/mix (6.3 pp; net of a negative 0.3 pp impact due to the shift of Easter-related shipments into first quarter 2010), partially offset by lower net pricing (0.3 pp). The favorable volume/mix impact on net revenue was primarily driven by higher shipments in ready-to-drink beverages, reflecting volume gains in Kool-Aid and Capri Sun, and in coffee, reflecting volume gains in Maxwell House and Starbucks.

Segment operating income increased $30 million (20.3%), due primarily to favorable volume/mix, lower manufacturing costs and lower other selling and administrative costs, partially offset by higher marketing support costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $88 million (5.4%), due to favorable volume/mix (5.2 pp) and higher net pricing (0.2 pp). The favorable volume/mix impact on net revenue was primarily driven by higher shipments in ready-to-drink beverages, reflecting volume gains in Kool-Aid and Capri Sun, and in coffee, reflecting volume gains in Maxwell House and Starbucks.

Segment operating income increased $40 million (12.9%), due primarily to favorable volume/mix, lower manufacturing costs, lower raw material costs and lower other selling and administrative costs, partially offset by higher marketing support costs.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $90 million (10.1%), due to unfavorable volume/mix (11.8 pp; including a negative 1.0 pp impact due to the Easter shift), partially offset by higher net pricing (1.7 pp). The unfavorable volume/mix impact on net revenue was primarily driven by lower shipments across most cheese categories. Higher net pricing was due to input cost-driven pricing, partially offset by increased promotional spending.

 

Segment operating income decreased $30 million (18.1%), due primarily to higher raw material costs (primarily higher dairy costs), unfavorable volume/mix and higher marketing support costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs and higher net pricing.

 

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $139 million (7.8%), due to unfavorable volume/mix (7.0 pp) and lower net pricing (0.8 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by lower shipments in natural cheese, sandwich cheese, cultured and snacking cheese. Lower net pricing was due to increased promotional spending which more than offset input cost-driven pricing.

 

Segment operating income decreased $27 million (9.1%), due primarily to unfavorable volume/mix, higher raw material costs (primarily higher dairy costs), lower net pricing and higher marketing support costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs.

Volume/mix gains in biscuits, chocolate, cheese and coffee, due primarily to higher shipments, drove net revenues higher. Lower net pricing, across all categories, was driven primarily by increased promotional spending. Unfavorable foreign currency primarily reflected the strength of the U.S. dollar against the euro.

Segment operating income increased $127 million (61.1%), due primarily to favorable volume/mix, our Cadbury acquisition, lower manufacturing costs, lower other selling and administrative costs, the 2009 net loss on the divestiture of a plant in Spain and the 2009 asset impairment charge to write-off an investment in Norway. These favorable variances were partially offset by lower net pricing, the 2009 reversal of prior years’ Restructuring Program costs, higher marketing support costs and higher raw material costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $1,491 million (37.2%), due to our Cadbury acquisition (31.2 pp), favorable volume/mix (6.4 pp; including approximately 1.3 pp from the favorable impact of an accounting calendar change for certain European Biscuits operations) and the impact of favorable foreign currency (2.5 pp), partially offset by lower net pricing (2.5 pp) and the impact of divestitures (0.4 pp). Favorable foreign currency primarily reflected the strength of the euro, Swedish krona, Norwegian krone and British pound versus the U.S. dollar. In addition, volume/mix gains in biscuits, chocolate, cheese and coffee, due primarily to higher shipments, drove net revenues higher. These favorable revenue drivers were partially offset by lower net pricing, across all categories, driven primarily by increased promotional spending.

Kraft Foods Europe Reorganization – The reorganization of our European operations to function on a pan-European centralized category management and value chain model was completed in 2009 for our Chocolate, Coffee and Cheese categories. The integration of our European Biscuits business was principally completed in the second quarter of 2010. The European Principal Company (“EPC”) manages the European categories centrally and makes decisions for all aspects of the value chain, except for sales and distribution. The European subsidiaries will execute sales and distribution locally, and the local production companies will act as toll manufacturers on behalf of the EPC. The EPC legal entity has been incorporated as Kraft Foods Europe GmbH in Zurich, Switzerland. As part of the reorganization, we incurred $34 million of other project savings costs during the first six months of 2010 and $56 million of other project savings costs during the first six months of 2009. These charges were recorded within cost of sales and marketing, administration and research costs. Management believes the disclosure of other project savings costs provides readers of our financial statements greater transparency to the total costs of our Kraft Foods Europe Reorganization.

In Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, net revenues increased, driven by our Cadbury acquisition, favorable volume/mix across most of the region except for Southeast Europe, favorable foreign currency, partially offset by lower net pricing due to increased promotional spending across the region. In Latin America, net revenues increased, driven by our Cadbury acquisition, favorable volume/mix, primarily in Brazil, higher net pricing across most of the region, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency and the impact of divestitures. In Asia Pacific, net revenues increased, due to our Cadbury acquisition, favorable volume/mix, which was driven by higher shipments, primarily in China, Australia/New Zealand and Indonesia and favorable foreign currency.

Segment operating income increased $176 million (69.6%), due primarily to our Cadbury acquisition, favorable volume/mix, higher net pricing and lower other selling and administrative costs, partially offset by higher marketing support costs, higher manufacturing costs, unfavorable foreign currency and higher raw material costs.

Segment operating income increased $328 million (71.3%), due primarily to our Cadbury acquisition, favorable volume/mix, higher net pricing and favorable foreign currency. These favorable variances were partially offset by higher marketing support costs, higher manufacturing costs, higher other selling and administrative costs and higher raw material costs.

Venezuela – In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Venezuelan economy was classified as highly inflationary under U.S. GAAP. Effective January 1, 2010, we are accounting for our Venezuelan subsidiaries under highly inflationary accounting rules, which principally means all transactions are recorded in U.S. dollars. Venezuela has three exchange rates: the official rate, the consumer staples rate and the secondary (or parallel) rate. We used both the official rate and the secondary rate to translate our Venezuelan operations into U.S. dollars, based on the nature of the operations of each individual subsidiary. Additionally, we previously carried cash that we had exchanged into U.S. dollars using the secondary market at that rate. Upon the change to highly inflationary accounting, we were then required to translate those U.S. dollars on hand using the official rate, which resulted in a charge of $34 million in the first quarter of 2010.

On January 8, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency. Accordingly, we were required to revalue our net assets in Venezuela. Through the first six months of 2010, we recorded approximately $65 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts relating to highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela (which included the one-time impact to translate cash of $34 million). Overall, we expect our 2010 full year operating results to be negatively impacted by approximately $100 to $150 million as a result of the change to highly inflationary accounting and the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.

Commodity Trends

We are a major purchaser of dairy, coffee, cocoa, wheat, corn products, soybean and vegetable oils, nuts, meat products, and sugar and other sweeteners. We also use significant quantities of plastic, glass and cardboard to package our products, and natural gas for our factories and warehouses. We continually monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities so we can act quickly to obtain ingredients and packaging needed for production.

During the first six months of 2010, our aggregate commodity costs increased primarily as a result of cocoa, sugar and dairy costs. In the first six months of 2010, our commodity costs were approximately $20 million higher than the first six months of 2009, including the change in Cadbury’s commodity costs. The costs of grain, oil, cocoa, sugar, energy and dairy accounted for the majority of the overall volatility in prices. Overall, we expect commodity prices to continue to be volatile over the remainder of the year.

Liquidity

We believe that our cash from operations, our existing $4.5 billion revolving credit facility (which supports our commercial paper program) and our authorized long-term financing will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, future contractual obligations and payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends. We continue to use our commercial paper program and primarily uncommitted international credit lines for daily funding requirements. We also use short-term intercompany loans from foreign subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:

During the first six months of 2010, operating activities provided $779 million net cash, compared with $1,720 million during the first six months of 2009. The decrease in operating cash flows primarily relates to the payment of taxes on the Frozen Pizza divestiture, unfavorable inventory positions and the unfavorable impact of acquisition-related financing fees; partially offset by increased earnings.

Table of Contents

During the first six months of 2010, we contributed $24 million to our U.S. pension plans and $132 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. We plan to make further contributions of approximately $30 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $150 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2010. We expect to fund these contributions from operations.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities:

During the first six months of 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $6.8 billion, compared with $431 million in the first six months of 2009. The increase in cash used in investing activities primarily relates to the Cadbury acquisition, partially offset by higher proceeds from divestitures. During the first six months of 2010, we paid $9.8 billion in net cash for the Cadbury acquisition, and we received $3.7 billion in proceeds from the sale of the Frozen Pizza business. During the first six months of 2009, we divested a juice operation in Brazil and a plant in Spain and received $6 million in proceeds.

Capital expenditures, which were funded by operating activities, were $608 million in the first six months of 2010, compared with $474 million in the first six months of 2009. Cadbury accounted for $165 million of the capital expenditures in the first six months of 2010. We expect full-year capital expenditures to be approximately $1.7 billion, including capital expenditures for Cadbury and for systems’ investments. We expect to fund these expenditures from operations.

Net Cash Provided by / (Used in) Financing Activities:

During the first six months of 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.0 billion, compared with $897 million used in the first six months of 2009. The net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2010 primarily related to proceeds from our long-term debt issuance of $9.4 billion, partially offset by $1.3 billion in net repayments of short-term borrowings and $1.2 billion in dividends paid. The net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2009 primarily related to $855 million in dividends paid.

In August 2010, $500 million of our long-term debt matures, and in December 2010, £77 million (approximately $115 million) of our long-term debt matures. We expect to fund the repayments with cash from operations or short-term borrowings.

Borrowing Arrangements:

We maintain a revolving credit facility that we have historically used for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes, and to support our commercial paper issuances. Our $4.5 billion three-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility expires in November 2012. No amounts have been drawn on the facility.

The revolving credit facility agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses), of at least $28.6 billion. This covenant was increased by $5.6 billion to $28.6 billion due to our Cadbury acquisition. At June 30, 2010, our total shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses), was $39.3 billion. We expect to continue to meet this covenant. The revolving credit facility agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. However, there are no other financial covenants, credit rating triggers or provisions that could require us to post collateral as security.

Cadbury maintained a three-year, £450 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility that we terminated effective June 30, 2010.

In addition to the above, some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2010. Borrowings on these lines amounted to $291 million at June 30, 2010 and $191 million at December 31, 2009.

As part of our Cadbury acquisition, on November 9, 2009, we entered into an agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Cadbury Bridge Facility”). During the first quarter of 2010, we borrowed £807 million under the Cadbury Bridge Facility, and later repaid it ($1,205 million at the time of repayment) with proceeds from the divestiture of our Frozen Pizza business. Upon repayment, the Cadbury Bridge Facility was terminated.

Debt:

Our total debt was $30.0 billion at June 30, 2010 and $19.0 billion at December 31, 2009. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.47 at June 30, 2010 and 0.42 at December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 9.7 years.

On February 8, 2010, we issued $9.5 billion of senior unsecured notes at a weighted-average effective rate of 5.364% and used the net proceeds ($9,379 million) to finance the Cadbury acquisition and for general corporate purposes.

These notes include covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt secured by liens above a certain threshold. We also must offer to purchase these notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, if both of the following occur:

 

  (i) a “change of control” triggering event; and
  (ii) a downgrade of these notes below an investment grade rating by each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch, Inc. within a specified period.

The fair value of the long-term debt we acquired as part of our Cadbury acquisition was $2,432 million at February 2, 2010. The acquired debt has the following terms:

 

   

£77 million (approximately $115 million) total principal notes due December 1, 2010 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 4.875%.

   

C$150 million (approximately $141 million) Canadian bank loan agreement expiring August 30, 2012 at a variable interest rate. The interest rate at June 30, 2010 was 0.735%.

   

$1.00 billion total principal notes due October 1, 2013 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 5.125%.

   

£300 million (approximately $448 million) total principal notes due December 11, 2014 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 5.375%.

   

£350 million (approximately $523 million) total principal notes due July 18, 2018 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 7.250%.

We expect to continue to comply with our long-term debt covenants. Refer to Note 7, Debt, for further details of these debt offerings.

From time to time we refinance long-term and short-term debt. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. At June 30, 2010, we had approximately $3.0 billion remaining in general long-term financing authority from our Board of Directors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the guarantees and contractual obligations that are discussed below.

Guarantees:

As discussed in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, we have third-party guarantees primarily covering the long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of those transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At June 30, 2010, the carrying amount of our third-party guarantees on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the maximum potential payment under our third-party guarantees was $29 million. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2018.

In addition, at June 30, 2010, we had contingent liabilities of $331 million related to guarantees of our own performance. These include letters of credit related to dairy commodity purchases and guarantees related to the payment of custom duties and taxes, and other letters of credit.

Guarantees do not have, and we do not expect them to have, a material effect on our liquidity.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations:

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2010:

  (1) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our long-term debt obligations and do not include unamortized bond premiums or discounts.
  (2) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our interest expense on our long-term debt. Interest calculated on our variable-rate debt was forecasted using a LIBOR rate forward curve analysis as of June 30, 2010. Interest calculated on our euro notes was forecasted using the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate as of June 30, 2010. An insignificant amount of interest expense was excluded from the table for a portion of our foreign debt due to the complexities involved in forecasting expected interest payments.
  (3) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our capital lease obligations, including the expected cash payments of interest expense of approximately $17 million on our capital leases.
  (4) Operating lease obligations represent the minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases.
  (5) Purchase obligations for inventory and production costs (such as raw materials, indirect materials and supplies, packaging, co-manufacturing arrangements, storage and distribution) are commitments for projected needs to be utilized in the normal course of business. Other purchase obligations include commitments for marketing, advertising, capital expenditures, information technology and professional services. Arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure and approximate timing of the transaction. Most arrangements are cancelable without a significant penalty and with short notice (usually 30 days). Any amounts reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.
  (6) Other long-term liabilities primarily consist of estimated future benefit payments for our postretirement health care plans through June 30, 2020 of approximately $2.2 billion. We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of the payments beyond June 30, 2020; accordingly, they are excluded from the above table. In addition, the following long-term liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are excluded from the table above: accrued pension costs, income taxes, insurance accruals and other accruals. We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of the payments (or contributions beyond 2010, in the case of accrued pension costs) for these items. We contributed $156 million to our pension plans in the first six months of 2010, and we plan to make further contributions of approximately $180 million during the remainder of the year. We also expect that our net pension cost will increase by approximately $130 million in 2010 to approximately $520 million. As of June 30, 2010, our total liability for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions and associated accrued interest and penalties, was $2.1 billion, of which we expect to pay approximately $855 million in the next 12 months. The IRS recently began its examination of years 2004 through 2006. We are not able to reasonably estimate the timing of future cash flows beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of this and other tax audit outcomes.

Equity and Dividends

Stock Plans:

In January 2010, we granted 1.9 million shares of stock in connection with our long-term incentive plan, and the market value per share was $27.33 on the date of grant. In February 2010, as part of our annual equity program, we issued 2.5 million shares of restricted and deferred stock to eligible employees, and the market value per restricted or deferred share was $29.15 on the date of grant. During the first six months of 2010, we issued an additional 0.8 million shares of restricted and deferred stock, including shares issued to Cadbury employees in the second quarter of 2010 under our annual equity program. The weighted-average market value per restricted or deferred share was $29.54 on the date of grant. In aggregate, we issued 5.2 million restricted and deferred shares during the first six months of 2010, including those issued as part of our long-term incentive plan.

 

47


Table of Contents

As part of our annual equity program, we also granted 15.0 million stock options to eligible employees in February 2010 at an exercise price of $29.15. During the first six months of 2010, we granted an additional 3.0 million stock options, including options granted to Cadbury employees in the second quarter of 2010 under our annual equity program. The weighted-average exercise price was $29.72. In aggregate, we granted 18.0 million stock options in the first six months of 2010.

Dividends:

We paid dividends of $1,156 million in the first six months of 2010 and $855 million in the first six months of 2009. The 35.2% increase reflects an increase in shares outstanding due to the Cadbury acquisition and the $224 million payment of a ten pence per share dividend that Cadbury declared and accrued on the Cadbury Shares that were outstanding at the time of the acquisition. The present annualized dividend rate is $1.16 per common share. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

Outlook

We adjusted our forecast for 2010 organic net revenue growth to 3 to 4% from prior guidance of approximately 4% for Kraft Foods. The change in outlook reflects an aggressive promotional environment in certain U.S. categories.

We also confirmed our guidance for 2010 diluted EPS of at least $2.35 and Operating EPS of at least $2.00. This guidance reflects the combination of stronger-than-expected year-to-date profit performance, greater-than-anticipated synergies from the integration of Cadbury, investments in brand-building activities and additional actions that will drive
top-tier growth.

Please see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.

Significant Accounting Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our significant accounting estimates are described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The impact of new accounting standards is discussed in the following section. There were no changes in our accounting policies in the current period that had a material impact on our financial statements.

New Accounting Guidance

See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a discussion of new accounting guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure “organic net revenues” and corresponding growth ratios. The difference between “organic net revenues” and “net revenues,” which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is that organic net revenues excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. Management uses organic net revenues to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have disclosed this measure so that you have the same financial data that management uses with the intention of assisting you in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing our underlying performance. Our management believes that organic net revenues better reflect the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provide improved comparability of results because they exclude the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which are not under our control, and also exclude the one-time impacts of acquisitions and divestitures on net revenues. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on net revenues. The best way that this limitation can be addressed is by using organic net revenues in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported net revenues. Our management believes that the presentation of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting Kraft Foods than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Because organic net revenues calculations may vary among other companies, the organic net revenues figures presented in the Consolidated Results of Operations section may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of organic net revenues is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. You should carefully evaluate the following tables reconciling U.S. GAAP reported net revenues to organic net revenues.

We use the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure “Operating EPS” and corresponding growth ratios. The difference between “Operating EPS” and “diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods,” which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is that Operating EPS excludes costs related to: the Integration Program; acquisition-related costs, including transaction advisory fees, U.K. stamp taxes and the impact of the Cadbury inventory revaluation; acquisition-related financing fees, including hedging and foreign currency impacts associated with the Cadbury acquisition and other fees associated with the Cadbury Bridge Facility; and the impact of a deferred tax charge resulting from the recently enacted U.S. health care legislation. Management uses Operating EPS to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance on a go-forward basis, and our management believes it provides improved comparability of results because it excludes the volatility of currency; certain impacts related to the Cadbury acquisition; other one-time impacts; and divestitures from earnings per share. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that have an impact on diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods. The best way that this limitation can be addressed is by using Operating EPS in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods. Our management believes that the presentation of this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting Kraft Foods than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

Because Operating EPS calculations may vary among other companies, the Operating EPS figures presented in the Consolidated Results of Operations section may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of Operating EPS is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. You should carefully evaluate the following tables reconciling U.S. GAAP reported diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods to Operating EPS.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report include that our combination with Cadbury will create a global snacks powerhouse and an unrivaled portfolio of brands people love; our expectation regarding closing the sales of the Cadbury confectionery operations in Poland and Romania; our expectation for significant synergies from the Cadbury acquisition; our belief that our combination with Cadbury has the potential for meaningful revenue synergies over time from investments in distribution, marketing and product development; our expectation about the annual cost savings we will realize by the end of the third year following our Cadbury acquisition; the amount of charges under the Integration Program we expect to incur in the first three years following our Cadbury acquisition; with regard to our Restructuring Program, that we will use cash to pay a portion of the charges and our expected cumulative annualized savings; our expectations regarding how the change to highly inflationary accounting and the Venezuelan devaluation will affect our 2010 operating results; our expectation that commodity prices will continue to be volatile over the remainder of the year; our belief regarding our liquidity; that we expect no negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity; our plan to make further contributions to pension plans during 2010 and our expectation to fund these contributions from operations; our expectation regarding the amount of our full-year capital expenditures and to fund capital expenditures from operations; our expectation to fund the repayments of our long-term debt that matures in August 2010 and December 2010 with cash from operations or short-term borrowings; our expectation to continue to meet the financial covenants under our revolving credit facility; our expectation to continue to comply with our long-term debt covenants; our expectation that guarantees will not have a material effect on our liquidity; our expectations regarding our aggregate contractual obligations, including our various expected cash payments; our 2010 Outlook, including organic net revenue growth, diluted EPS and Operating EPS; and our belief that the final outcomes of our legal proceedings will not materially affect our financial results.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and the cautionary statements set forth below and those contained in the “Risk Factors” found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any of these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, continued volatility in commodity costs, pricing actions, increased competition, increased costs of sales, our indebtedness and our ability to pay our indebtedness, unanticipated expenses such as litigation or legal settlement expenses, risks from operating globally, our failure to integrate successfully and recognize the synergies from our combination with Cadbury and tax law changes. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As Kraft Foods operates globally, we use certain financial instruments to manage our foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. We maintain foreign currency, commodity price and interest rate risk management policies that principally use derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. We also sell commodity futures to unprice future purchase commitments, and we occasionally use related futures to cross-hedge a commodity exposure. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes. With the Cadbury acquisition, we added significant volumes of foreign currency and cocoa commodity hedges, in addition to the acquisition-related hedges we utilized during the quarter. Refer to Note 12, Financial Instruments, for further information on the types of derivative instruments we used to hedge our exposures. With the exception of our Cadbury acquisition and its hedging program, there were no significant changes in our exposures or the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge those exposures since December 31, 2009.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. We acquired Cadbury Limited (formerly, Cadbury plc) (“Cadbury”) in the first quarter of 2010, and it represented approximately 31% of our total assets as of June 30, 2010. As the acquisition occurred in the first quarter of 2010, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting does not include Cadbury. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from our scope in the year of acquisition. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, and noted the following significant changes.

 

   

In 2008, we began implementing “Catalyst,” a business initiative to simplify and harmonize our systems processes. This multi-year program includes the delivery of SAP enterprise software applications and business solutions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we transitioned some of our processes and procedures into the SAP control environment in Kraft Foods North America. As we migrate to the SAP environment, our management sees to it that our key controls are mapped to applicable SAP controls, tests transition controls prior to the migration date of those controls, and as appropriate, maintains and evaluates controls over the flow of information to and from SAP. We expect the transition period to be completed in 2011.

We determined that there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.

Competition authorities in certain Member States of the European Union have opened investigations into possible anticompetitive activity in the fast moving consumer goods (“FMCG”) sector, which includes products such as chocolate and coffee. In this regard, on June 8, 2010, proceedings were discontinued against our wholly owned subsidiary, Kraft Foods Ausser Haus Service GmbH, Bremen (“Kraft Foods AFH”), based on Kraft Foods AFH’s concession to certain findings of the German Federal Cartel Office (“FCO”). The FCO found that a total of 13 companies, including Kraft Foods AFH, and a number of individuals acting on behalf of (or employed by) those companies discussed and in part agreed on price increases for coffee in the Away from Home coffee sector in Germany. Kraft Foods AFH also accepted the FCO’s imposition of a total fine of EUR 4,660,000.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Kraft Foods Deutschland GmbH, is also cooperating and in contact with the FCO in the context of possible anticompetitive activity in the German FMCG sector, involving a number of companies including Kraft Foods Deutschland. At this time, we cannot predict with certainty the course or the outcome of these investigations.

Currently, we do not believe that the ultimate costs to resolve any of the Legal Matters will have a material effect on our financial results.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
