Kraft Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries

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. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

You should read these statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain revisions of prior-year amounts were made to conform with the current-year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include Kraft Foods, as well as our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The majority of our operating subsidiaries report results as of the last Saturday of the period. A portion of our international operating subsidiaries report results as of the last calendar day of the period or two weeks prior to the last Saturday of the period.

In the second quarter of 2011, we changed the consolidation date for certain operations of our Kraft Foods Europe segment and operations in certain regions of our Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment (Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Africa and the Middle East). Previously, these operations primarily reported results two weeks prior to the end of the period. Now, our Kraft Foods Europe segment reports results as of the last Saturday of each period. Our operations in Latin America and certain operations in Eastern and Central Europe, Africa and the Middle East region report results as of the last calendar day of the period. These changes resulted in a favorable impact to net revenues of $360 million and a favorable impact of $50 million to operating income.

In the second quarter of 2010, we changed the consolidation date for certain European biscuits operations within our Kraft Foods Europe segment and certain operations in Asia Pacific within our Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment. Previously, these operations primarily reported period-end results one month prior to the end of the period and moved to reporting results two weeks prior to the last Saturday of the period. These changes resulted in a favorable impact to net revenues of $70 million and had an insignificant impact on operating income.

We believe these changes are preferable and will improve business planning and financial reporting by better matching the close dates of the operating subsidiaries within our Kraft Foods Europe segment and Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment and by bringing the reporting date closer to the period-end date. As the impact to prior-period results was not material, we have not revised prior-period results.

Highly Inflationary Accounting:

We account for our Venezuelan subsidiaries under highly inflationary accounting rules, which principally means all transactions are recorded in U.S. dollars. Venezuela has two exchange rates: the official rate and the government-regulated Transaction System for Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (“SITME”) rate. We used both the official rate and the SITME rate to translate our Venezuelan operations into U.S. dollars, based on the nature of the operations of each individual subsidiary.

We recorded approximately $15 million of favorable foreign currency impacts relating to highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela during the first six months of 2011 and approximately $65 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts during the first six months of 2010. The 2010 loss included a one-time impact to translate cash of $34 million that we previously carried at the secondary market exchange rate. Upon the change to highly inflationary accounting in January 2010, we were required to translate those U.S. dollars on hand using the official rate.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment related to statements of comprehensive income. This amendment requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This amended guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, this amended guidance requires retrospective application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial results, but will change the current financial presentation of other comprehensive income within our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to revise fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This amended guidance provides clarification about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and expands certain other disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial statements and disclosures.

Subsequent Events:

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

Note 2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures:

Cadbury Acquisition:

On February 2, 2010, we acquired 71.73% of Cadbury Limited (“Cadbury”) and as of June 1, 2010, we owned 100% of all outstanding Cadbury Shares. The Cadbury acquisition was valued at $18,547 million, or $17,503 million net of cash and cash equivalents.

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 selling, general and administrative expenses. 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, 2010. 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, 2010, together with the consequential tax effects. These adjustments also reflect the additional interest expense incurred on the debt to finance the purchase.

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. Accordingly, the results of the Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings in the prior-period results.

Non-amortizable intangible assets consist substantially of brand names purchased through our acquisitions of Nabisco Holdings Corp., the Spanish and Portuguese operations of United Biscuits, the global LU biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A. and Cadbury. Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of trademark licenses, customer-related intangibles, process technology and non-compete agreements. At June 30, 2011, the weighted-average life of our amortizable intangible assets was 13.2 years.

Amortization expense was $57 million for the three months and $114 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We currently estimate annual amortization expense for each of the next five years to be approximately $230 million.

Note 6. Integration Program:

Our combination with Cadbury has the potential for meaningful synergies and cost savings. We expect to recognize annual cost savings of at least $750 million by the end of the third year following completion of the acquisition. Additionally, we expect to create revenue synergies from investments in distribution, marketing and product development. In order to achieve these cost savings and synergies, 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”).

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 $136 million for the three months and $240 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets segments, as well as general corporate expenses. Since the inception of the Integration Program, we have incurred $897 million of the $1.5 billion in expected charges.

Within our Integration Program, we include certain costs along with exit and disposal costs that are directly attributable to those activities although they do not qualify for treatment as exit or disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These costs, which we commonly refer to as other project costs or implementation costs, generally include the integration and reorganization of operations and facilities, the discontinuance of certain product lines and the incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities. Management believes the disclosure and inclusion of these charges provides readers of our financial statements greater transparency to the total costs of our Integration Program.

Note 7. Debt:

Borrowing Arrangements:

On April 1, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit agreement for a $4.5 billion four-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The agreement replaced our former revolving credit agreement, which was terminated upon the signing of the new agreement. We intend to use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes, and to support our commercial paper issuances. 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) and non-controlling interest, of at least $28.6 billion. At June 30, 2011, our total shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive losses and non-controlling interest, was $41.0 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.

Note 9. Stock Plans:

At our annual meeting of shareholders held on May 24, 2011, our shareholders approved the Kraft Foods Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The amended plan includes, among other provisions, an increase to the number of shares we are authorized to issue to a maximum of 1.0 million shares of our Common Stock. As of the effective date of the amendment, there were 0.8 million shares available to be granted under the plan.

Restricted and Deferred Stock:

In January 2011, we granted 1.5 million shares of stock in connection with our long-term incentive plan, and the market value per share was $31.62 on the date of grant. In February 2011, as part of our annual equity program, we issued 2.6 million shares of restricted and deferred stock to eligible employees, and the market value per restricted or deferred share was $31.83 on the date of grant. In aggregate, we issued 4.6 million restricted and deferred shares during the first six months of 2011, including those issued as part of our long-term incentive plan, with a weighted-average market value per share of $31.79.

During the first six months of 2011, 4.1 million shares of restricted and deferred stock vested at a market value of $125 million.

Stock Options:

In February 2011, as part of our annual equity program, we granted 15.8 million stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price of $31.83. In aggregate, we granted 16.3 million stock options in the first six months of 2011 at a weighted-average exercise price of $31.80.

There were 15.6 million stock options exercised during the first six months of 2011 with a total intrinsic value of $81 million.

Our U.S. plans also incurred a $5 million curtailment expense 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 2011, we contributed $527 million to our U.S. plans and $185 million to our non-U.S. plans. Based on current tax law, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $15 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $215 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2011. 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.

Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of foreign exchange forwards and currency swaps; commodity forwards, and options; and interest rate swaps. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Note 12.  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.

While we cannot predict with certainty the results of any legal matters in which we are currently involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of these matters will have a material effect on our financial results.

Starbucks CPG Business:

As we previously disclosed, on November 29, 2010, we initiated an arbitration proceeding against Starbucks Coffee Company (“Starbucks”) to challenge Starbucks’ attempt to end our retail coffee agreement without compensating us pursuant to the agreement’s termination provisions. On March 1, 2011, Starbucks, without our authorization and in what we contend is a violation and breach of our agreements with Starbucks, unilaterally took control of the sale and distribution of the packaged coffee business in grocery stores and other channels by terminating its agreements (“Agreements”) with us without valid grounds. We are vigorously contesting Starbucks’ action and are seeking appropriate remedies under the Agreements, including but not limited to payment of the fair market value of the business plus the premium the Agreements specify. In accordance with our rights under the Agreements, we initiated an arbitration proceeding in Chicago, Illinois in order to determine the parties’ respective rights and obligations under the Agreements. The arbitration proceeding is set for April 30 through May 18, 2012.

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, 2011, the carrying amount of our third-party guarantees on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $26 million. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2018.

Note 13.  Income Taxes:

As of January 1, 2011, our unrecognized tax benefits were $1,281 million. If we had recognized all of these benefits, the net impact on our income tax provision would have been $1,062 million. Our unrecognized tax benefits increased $250 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 for additions based on prior year tax positions, current year tax positions and adjustments for currency, partially offset by decreases from positions taken during prior periods. As of June 30, 2011, our unrecognized tax benefits were $1,531 million. If we had recognized all of these benefits, the net impact on our income tax provision would have been $1,306 million.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $150 – $200 million during the next 12 months due to audit settlements and the expiration of statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions.

We include accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our tax provision. As of January 1, 2011, we had $246 million of accrued interest and penalties. The increase in accrued interest and penalties during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $35 million.

Our income tax returns are regularly examined by various federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for all tax periods beginning with the 2004 tax year. The IRS is currently examining our 2004 – 2006 tax returns and we expect this examination to close during 2012. Our income tax filings are also currently under examination by taxing authorities in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years, however these statutes are often extended by mutual agreement with the tax authorities. Years still open to examination by foreign tax authorities in major jurisdictions include (earliest open tax year in parentheses): Germany (1999), Brazil (2005), Canada (2003), Spain (2002), France (2006), United Kingdom (2006), Australia (2008), Russia (2004) and India (2003).

We excluded 16.0 million antidilutive stock options for the three months and 17.6 million antidilutive stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and we excluded 31.1 million antidilutive stock options for the three months and 33.9 million antidilutive stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Note 15. 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.

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 are a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and amortization of intangibles for all periods presented. 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, the gains and losses on hedging activities are recorded within segment operating results. 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. 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 2011 decrease in general corporate expenses was primarily due to the 2010 Cadbury acquisition-related transaction fees.

Integration Program – We incurred charges under the Integration Program of $136 million for the three months and $240 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets segments, as well as general corporate expenses.

Net revenues by consumer sector, which includes Kraft macaroni and cheese dinners in the Convenient Meals sector and the separation of Canada & N.A. Foodservice, Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets into sector components, were:

Note 16. Subsequent Events:

On August 4, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors intends to create two independent public companies: (i) a high-growth global snacks business with estimated revenues of approximately $32 billion (the “Global Snacks Business”) and (ii) a high-margin North American grocery business with estimated revenues of approximately $16 billion (the “North American Grocery Business”). The Global Snacks Business will consist of our current Kraft Foods Europe and Developing Markets segments as well as our North American snack and confectionary brands. The North American Grocery Business will consist of our current U.S. Beverages, Cheese, Convenient Meals and Grocery segments and the non-snack categories in our Canada & N.A. Food Service segment. We expect to create these companies through a tax-free spin-off of the North American Grocery Business to our shareholders.

The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, an opinion from tax counsel and a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to ensure the tax-free status of the spin-off of the North American Grocery Business, execution of intercompany agreements, further diligence as appropriate and final approval from our Board of Directors. While our current target is to complete the spin-off before year-end 2012, we cannot assure that the spin-off will be completed on the anticipated timeline or that the terms of the spin-off will not change.

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 75 countries and sell our products in approximately 170 countries.

Proposed Spin-Off Transaction

On August 4, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors intends to create two independent public companies: (i) a high-growth global snacks business (the “Global Snacks Business”) and (ii) a high-margin North American grocery business (the “North American Grocery Business”). The Global Snacks Business will consist of our current Kraft Foods Europe and Developing Markets segments as well as our North American snack and confectionary brands. The North American Grocery Business will consist of our current U.S. Beverages, Cheese, Convenient Meals and Grocery segments and the non-snack categories in our Canada & N.A. Food Service segment. We expect to create these companies through a tax-free spin-off of the North American Grocery Business to our shareholders.

The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, an opinion from tax counsel and a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to ensure the tax-free status of the spin-off of the North American Grocery Business, execution of intercompany agreements, further diligence as appropriate and final approval from our Board of Directors. While our current target is to complete the spin-off before year-end 2012, we cannot assure that the spin-off will be completed on the anticipated timeline or that the terms of the spin-off will not change. See “Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors” for certain risk factors relating to the proposed spin-off transaction. The disclosures within this Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are on a consolidated Kraft Foods Inc. basis and do not take into account the proposed spin-off of the North American Grocery Business.

Discussion and Analysis

Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Cadbury Acquisition:

On February 2, 2010, we acquired 71.73% of Cadbury Limited (“Cadbury”) and as of June 1, 2010, we owned 100% of all outstanding Cadbury Shares. The Cadbury acquisition was valued at $18,547 million, or $17,503 million net of cash and cash equivalents.

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 selling, general and administrative expenses. 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, 2010. 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, 2010, 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. Accordingly, the results of the Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings in the prior-period results.

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

23


Starbucks CPG Business:

As we previously disclosed, on November 29, 2010, we initiated an arbitration proceeding against Starbucks Coffee Company (“Starbucks”) to challenge Starbucks’ attempt to end our retail coffee agreement without compensating us pursuant to the agreement’s termination provisions. On March 1, 2011, Starbucks, without our authorization and in what we contend is a violation and breach of our agreements with Starbucks, unilaterally took control of the sale and distribution of the packaged coffee business in grocery stores and other channels by terminating its agreements (“Agreements”) with us without valid grounds. We are vigorously contesting Starbucks’ action and are seeking appropriate remedies under the Agreements, including but not limited to payment of the fair market value of the business plus the premium the Agreements specify. In accordance with our rights under the Agreements, we initiated an arbitration proceeding in Chicago, Illinois in order to determine the parties’ respective rights and obligations under the Agreements. The arbitration proceeding is set for April 30 through May 18, 2012.

Integration Program

Our combination with Cadbury has the potential for meaningful synergies and cost savings. We expect to recognize annual cost savings of at least $750 million by the end of the third year following completion of the acquisition. Additionally, we expect to create revenue synergies from investments in distribution, marketing and product development. In order to achieve these cost savings and synergies, 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”).

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 $136 million for the three months and $240 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses primarily within our Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets segments, as well as general corporate expenses. Since the inception of the Integration Program, we have incurred $897 million of the $1.5 billion in expected charges. At June 30, 2011, we had an accrual of $368 million related to the Integration Program.

Within our Integration Program, we include certain costs along with exit and disposal costs that are directly attributable to those activities although they do not qualify for treatment as exit or disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These costs, which we commonly refer to as other project costs or implementation costs, generally include the integration and reorganization of operations and facilities, the discontinuance of certain product lines and the incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities. Management believes the disclosure and inclusion of these charges provides readers of our financial statements greater transparency to the total costs of our Integration Program.

Accounting Calendar Changes in 2011 and 2010

The majority of our operating subsidiaries report results as of the last Saturday of the period. A portion of our international operating subsidiaries report results as of the last calendar day of the period or two weeks prior to the last Saturday of the period.

In the second quarter of 2011, we changed the consolidation date for certain operations of our Kraft Foods Europe segment and operations in certain regions of our Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment (Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Africa and the Middle East). Previously, these operations primarily reported results two weeks prior to the end of the period. Now, our Kraft Foods Europe segment reports results as of the last Saturday of each period. Our operations in Latin America and certain operations in Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa region (“CEEMA”) report results as of the last calendar day of the period. These changes resulted in a favorable impact to net revenues of $360 million and a favorable impact of $50 million to operating income. For 2011, we plan to reinvest the favorable operating income impact realized from these accounting calendar changes.

In the second quarter of 2010, we changed the consolidation date for certain European biscuits operations within our Kraft Foods Europe segment and certain operations in Asia Pacific within our Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment. Previously, these operations primarily reported period-end results one month prior to the end of the period and moved to reporting results two weeks prior to the last Saturday of the period. These changes resulted in a favorable impact to net revenues of $70 million and had an insignificant impact on operating income.

We believe these changes are preferable and will improve business planning and financial reporting by better matching the close dates of the operating subsidiaries within our Kraft Foods Europe segment and Kraft Foods Developing Markets segment and by bringing the reporting date closer to the period-end date. As the impact to prior-period results was not material, we have not revised prior-period results.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 28.5% in the second quarter of 2011 and 30.7% in the first six months of 2011. The 2011 second quarter effective tax rate was favorably impacted by net discrete items totaling $52 million, arising principally from the favorable resolution with foreign tax authorities of several tax positions taken in prior years. For the first six months of 2011, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by net discrete items totaling $58 million, primarily from favorable resolutions reached with foreign tax authorities in the second quarter.

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.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussion compares our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Organic net revenues growth was driven by higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing was reflected across all reportable business segments as we increased pricing to offset higher input costs. Favorable volume/mix was driven primarily by higher base business shipments in Kraft Foods Developing Markets. Favorable foreign currency increased net revenues by $687 million, due primarily to the strength of the euro, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc versus the U.S. dollar. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, accounting calendar changes added $316 million in net revenues in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $59 million in the second quarter of 2010. These gains were partially offset by the impact of divestitures (including the Starbucks CPG business).

Operating Income – Operating income increased $105 million (6.2%) to $1,806 million in the second quarter of 2011, due to the following:

Higher input costs offset higher pricing during the quarter. The increase in input costs was driven by significantly higher raw material costs and to a lesser extent higher manufacturing costs, primarily in Kraft Foods Developing Markets. The favorable volume/mix was driven primarily by a strong contribution from Kraft Foods Developing Markets, which was partially offset by declines in all other reportable segments except U.S. Cheese. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $75 million over the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the impacts of divestitures (including the Starbucks CPG business), foreign currency, accounting calendar changes and our Cadbury acquisition (including Integration Program and acquisition-related costs), selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $35 million from the second quarter of 2010. Favorable foreign currency increased operating income by $127 million, due primarily to the impact of the highly inflationary Venezuelan economy and the strength of the euro, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. Accounting calendar changes added $34 million in operating income, as we realized operating income from accounting calendar changes of $44 million (excluding the effects of foreign currency) in the second quarter of 2011, versus $10 million in the second quarter of 2010. The change in unrealized gains/losses on hedging activities decreased operating income by $122 million, as we recognized losses of $100 million in the second quarter of 2011, versus gains of $22 million in the second quarter of 2010. In addition, the impact of divestitures includes Starbucks unilaterally taking control of significant coffee contracts, and the 2010 divestitures of certain Cadbury confectionery operations in Poland and Romania. As a result of these changes, operating income margin decreased, from 13.9% in the second quarter of 2010 to 13.0% in the second quarter of 2011. The margin decline was driven primarily by the change in unrealized gains/losses on hedging activities and the impact of the higher revenue base on the margin calculation.

Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share Attributable to Kraft Foods – Net earnings attributable to Kraft Foods of $976 million increased by $39 million (4.2%) in the second quarter of 2011. Diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods was $0.55 in the second quarter of 2011, up $0.02 from $0.53 in the second quarter of 2010. These changes were due to the following:

Organic net revenues growth was driven by higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing was reflected across all reportable business segments as we increased pricing to offset higher input costs. Favorable volume/mix was driven primarily by higher base business shipments in Kraft Foods Developing Markets, Kraft Foods Europe and U.S. Cheese. Favorable foreign currency increased net revenues by $808 million, due primarily to the strength of the euro, Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and British pound versus the U.S. dollar. The Cadbury acquisition, due to the incremental January 2011 operating results, added $697 million in net revenues. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, accounting calendar changes added $316 million in net revenues in the first six months of 2011, as compared to $63 million in the first six months of 2010. These gains were partially offset by the impact of divestitures (including the Starbucks CPG business).

Higher pricing offset higher input costs during the first six months of 2011. The increase in input costs was driven by significantly higher raw material costs and to a lesser extent higher manufacturing costs in Kraft Foods Developing Markets. The favorable volume/mix was driven primarily by strong contributions from Kraft Foods Developing Markets, Kraft Foods Europe and U.S. Cheese, partially offset by declines in all other reportable segments. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $158 million from the first six months of 2010. Excluding the impacts of divestitures (including the Starbucks CPG business), foreign currency, accounting calendar changes and our Cadbury acquisition (including Integration Program and acquisition-related costs), selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $40 million from the first six months of 2010. Favorable foreign currency increased operating income by $132 million, due primarily to the strength of the euro, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and British pound versus the U.S. dollar. The Cadbury acquisition, net of changes in acquisition-related and Integration Program costs, increased operating income by $83 million. Accounting calendar changes added $34 million in operating income, as we realized operating income from accounting calendar changes of $44 million (excluding the effects of foreign currency) in the first six months of 2011, versus $10 million in the first six months of 2010. The impact of divestitures includes Starbucks unilaterally taking control of significant coffee contracts, and the 2010 divestitures of certain Cadbury confectionery operations in Poland and Romania. The change in unrealized gains/losses on hedging activities decreased operating income by $22 million, as we recognized losses of $38 million in the first six months of 2011, versus losses of $16 million in the first six months of 2010. As a result of these changes, operating income margin increased, from 12.3% in the first six months of 2010 to 13.1% in the first six months of 2011. The margin gain was driven primarily by lower corporate expenses reflecting lower Integration Program and acquisition-related costs. In certain reportable segments, operating margins declined, driven primarily by the impact of the higher revenue base on the margin calculation.

As discussed in Note 15, 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 selling, general and administrative expenses), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and amortization of intangibles for all periods presented. 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. 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.

The 2011 decrease in general corporate expenses was primarily due to the 2010 Cadbury acquisition-related transaction fees.

We incurred charges under the Integration Program of $136 million for the three months and $240 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $149 million for the three months and $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded these charges in operations, primarily as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses within our Kraft Foods Europe and Kraft Foods Developing Markets segments, as well as general corporate expenses. We also reversed $3 million of previously accrued costs savings initiative charges during the three months and $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We recorded these reversals, which were primarily related to severance charges for previously announced and planned position eliminations that did not occur, in operations, primarily within selling, general and administrative expenses across all reportable business segments, except Kraft Foods Europe. 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.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $107 million (12.1%), due to the impact of the Starbucks CPG business cessation (14.3 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (5.0 pp, net of a positive 0.8 pp impact due to the Easter shift), partially offset by higher net pricing (7.2 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily driven by lower shipments in Maxwell House and Gevalia coffee and powdered beverages, which were partially offset by the introduction of MiO liquid concentrate and higher shipments in ready-to-drink beverages, primarily Capri Sun, and Tassimo coffee. Higher net pricing was due primarily to input cost-driven pricing in coffee.

Segment operating income decreased $40 million (22.5%), due primarily to higher raw material costs, the impact of the Starbucks CPG business cessation and unfavorable volume/mix, partially offset by higher net pricing, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and lower manufacturing costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues decreased $107 million (6.3%), due to the impact of the Starbucks CPG business cessation (9.4 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (3.2 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (6.3 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily driven by lower shipments in Maxwell House and Gevalia coffee and Kool -Aid powdered beverages. These were partially offset by the introduction of MiO liquid concentrate and higher shipments in ready-to-drink beverages, primarily Capri Sun and Kool-Aid, Tassimo coffee and Tang powdered beverages. Higher net pricing was due primarily to input cost-driven pricing in coffee.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $100 million (8.3%), due primarily to higher net pricing (5.1 pp) and favorable foreign currency (4.3 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (0.6 pp, net of a positive 1.1 pp impact due to the Easter shift) and the impact of divestitures (including the Starbucks CPG business) (0.5 pp). In Canada, net revenues increased, driven by favorable foreign currency and higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, reflecting volume declines across most retail businesses, except Snacks and Cheese. In N.A. Foodservice, net revenues increased, driven by higher net pricing, favorable volume/mix and favorable foreign currency.

Segment operating income increased $13 million (7.4%), due primarily to higher net pricing, favorable foreign currency, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $219 million (9.8%), due primarily to higher net pricing (5.1 pp), favorable foreign currency (4.1 pp) and our Cadbury acquisition (1.9 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (1.0 pp) and the impact of divestitures (including the Starbucks CPG business) (0.3 pp).

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net revenues increased $732 million (26.2%), due to favorable foreign currency (13.5 pp), the impact of accounting calendar changes (6.3 pp), higher net pricing (5.6 pp) and favorable volume/mix (0.8 pp, including a positive 2.4 pp impact due to the Easter shift). Favorable foreign currency primarily reflected the strength of the euro, British pound, Swedish krona and Swiss franc against the U.S. dollar. The change in the consolidation date for certain operations increased net revenues, as previously these operations primarily reported period-end results two weeks prior to the end of the period. Now results are reported on the last Saturday of each period. Higher net pricing was reflected across all major categories. Volume/mix gains in chocolate, cheese and coffee, due primarily to higher shipments, also drove net revenues higher.

Segment operating income increased $80 million (23.9%), due primarily to higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs, favorable foreign currency, the impact of accounting calendar changes, lower advertising and consumer promotion costs and lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher raw material costs, higher Integration Program costs and unfavorable volume/mix.

Venezuela – We account for our Venezuelan subsidiaries under highly inflationary accounting rules, which principally means all transactions are recorded in U.S. dollars. Venezuela has two exchange rates: the official rate and the government-regulated Transaction System for Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (“SITME”) rate. We used both the official rate and the SITME rate to translate our Venezuelan operations into U.S. dollars, based on the nature of the operations of each individual subsidiary.

 

38


We recorded approximately $15 million of favorable foreign currency impacts relating to highly inflationary accounting in Venezuela during the first six months of 2011 and approximately $65 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts during the first six months of 2010. The 2010 loss included a one-time impact to translate cash of $34 million that we previously carried at the secondary market exchange rate. Upon the change to highly inflationary accounting in January 2010, we were required to translate those U.S. dollars on hand using the official rate.

We do not expect our 2011 full year operating results to be significantly impacted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.

Commodity Trends

We purchase large quantities of commodities, including dairy, coffee, cocoa, wheat, corn products, soybean and vegetable oils, nuts, meat products, and sugar and other sweeteners. In addition, we use significant quantities of plastic, glass and cardboard to package our products, and natural gas for our factories and warehouses. We continuously monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities so we can act quickly to procure ingredients and packaging materials needed for production.

During the first six months of 2011, our aggregate commodity costs increased primarily as a result of coffee, dairy, packaging material costs, grains and oils. In the first six months of 2011, our commodity costs were approximately $1.0 billion higher than in the first six months of 2010. We expect the price volatility and higher cost environment to continue 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 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $296 million, compared with $779 million provided in the first six months of 2010. The decrease in operating cash flows primarily relates to increased contributions to our pension plans, the timing of receivables and increased inventory levels, partially offset by increased earnings and the 2010 payment of taxes on the Frozen Pizza divestiture.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities:

During the first six months of 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $625 million, compared with $6.8 billion used in the first six months of 2010. The decrease in cash used in investing activities primarily relates to the 2010 acquisition and divestiture activity.

Capital expenditures, which were funded by operating activities, were $655 million in the first six months of 2011, compared with $608 million in the first six months of 2010. We expect full-year capital expenditures to be approximately $1.9 billion, including capital expenditures required for systems investments and the Integration Program. We expect to fund these expenditures from operations.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities:

During the first six months of 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $40 million, compared with $7.0 billion provided in the first six months of 2010. The net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2011 primarily relates to $477 million of proceeds from our net short-term borrowings and $438 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $1.0 billion in dividends paid. 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.

Borrowing Arrangements:

On April 1, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit agreement for a $4.5 billion four-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The agreement replaced our former revolving credit agreement, which was terminated upon the signing of the new agreement. We intend to use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including for working capital purposes, and to support our commercial paper issuances. 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) and non-controlling interest, of at least $28.6 billion. At June 30, 2011, our total shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive losses and non-controlling interest, was $41.0 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.

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 $2.3 billion at June 30, 2011. In the aggregate, borrowings on these lines were $206 million at June 30, 2011 and $267 million at December 31, 2010.

Debt:

Our total debt was $29.6 billion at June 30, 2011 and $28.7 billion at December 31, 2010. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.43 at June 30, 2011 and 0.44 at December 31, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 9.3 years.

We expect to continue to comply with our long-term debt covenants. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further details of these debt covenants.

In the next twelve months, $4.9 billion of long-term debt becomes due as follows: $1.1 billion in November 2011, 2.0 billion (approximately $2.9 billion) in March 2012, and $0.9 billion in June 2012. We expect to fund these repayments with cash from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and the issuance of additional debt.

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. As of June 30, 2011, we had $12 billion remaining in long-term financing authority from our Board of Directors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements and aggregate contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We also do not expect a material change in the effect these arrangements and obligations will have on our liquidity. See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for a discussion of guarantees.

Equity and Dividends

Stock Plans:

At our annual meeting of shareholders held on May 24, 2011, our shareholders approved the Kraft Foods Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The amended plan includes, among other provisions, an increase to the number of shares we are authorized to issue to a maximum of 1.0 million shares of our Common Stock. As of the effective date of the amendment, there were 0.8 million shares available to be granted under the amended plan.

In January 2011, we granted 1.5 million shares of stock in connection with our long-term incentive plan, and the market value per share was $31.62 on the date of grant. In February 2011, as part of our annual equity program, we issued 2.6 million shares of restricted and deferred stock to eligible employees, and the market value per

 

40


restricted or deferred share was $31.83 on the date of grant. In aggregate, we issued 4.6 million restricted and deferred shares during the first six months of 2011, including those issued as part of our long-term incentive plan, with a weighted-average market value per share of $31.79.

In February 2011, as part of our annual equity program, we also granted 15.8 million stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price of $31.83. In aggregate, we granted 16.3 million stock options in the first six months of 2011 with a weighted-average market value per share of $31.80.

Dividends:

We paid dividends of $1,017 million in the first six months of 2011 and $1,156 million in the first six months of 2010. The 12.0% decrease is mainly due to a dividend payment of $224 million in the prior year related to the Cadbury acquisition. The present annualized dividend rate is $1.16 per 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

Our outlook for 2011 remains strong and reflects our anticipation of better alignment between pricing and input costs with volume remaining steady. We revised our expectations to deliver organic net revenue growth from at least 4 percent to at least 5 percent and Operating EPS from at least $2.20 to at least $2.25.

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, 2010. 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, 2010. There were no changes in our accounting policies in the current period that had a material impact on our financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have disclosed the following measures 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 the presentation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, 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 non-GAAP financial measures may vary among other companies, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in the Consolidated Results of Operations section may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures are 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 figures to 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 (including Starbucks unilateral action), currency and accounting calendar changes. Our management believes that organic net revenues better reflects 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.

We use the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure “underlying operating income” and corresponding growth ratios. The difference between “underlying operating income” and “operating income,” which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is that underlying operating income excludes costs related to: the Integration Program; and acquisition-related costs, including transaction advisory fees, U.K. stamp taxes and the impact of the Cadbury inventory revaluation. Our management believes that underlying operating income provides improved comparability of results because it excludes certain impacts related to the Cadbury acquisition from operating income.

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 from continuing operations,” 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. Our management believes Operating EPS provides improved comparability of results because it excludes certain impacts related to the Cadbury acquisition and other one-time impacts 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 from continuing operations. 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 from continuing operations.
