Mondelez 1Q Revenue Rises, Pricing Offsets North America, Volume Hit
By Sabela Ojea
Mondelez International said revenue rose slightly in the latest quarter, as higher prices offset a weaker performance in North America and lower volumes.
The Chicago-based snack foods company on Tuesday posted a first-quarter net profit of $1.42 billion, or $1.04 a share, compared with $2.08 billion, or $1.52 a share, for the same period a year earlier.
Stripping out one-time items, the company's earnings per share came in at 95 cents.
Revenue rose 1.4% to $9.29 billion, beating Wall Street expectations of $9.16 billion, according to FactSet. The company saw a 2.1% drop in its North America topline performance, while sales in Europe and Latin America rose 1.8% and 8.9%, respectively.
Mondelez said organic net revenue rose 4.2% in the period as a result of higher prices, which offset lower volumes.
"Despite facing a challenging and dynamic operating environment, our teams remained focused and agile in executing against our long-term growth strategy," Chief Executive Dirk Van de Put said.
