Mondelez’s powerful presence in the snacking

category is led by 7 billion-dollar “Power Brands”

earning 68% of the company’s revenues. These

brands include Cadbury, Cadbury Dairy Milk, and

Milka chocolate; LU, Nabisco, and Oreo biscuits;

and Trident gum. Mondelez’s Power Brands benefit

from significant brand loyalty resulting in operating

margins that are 1 to 2% higher than other brands.

Power Brands also grow faster than the company

average, therefore Mondelez plans to have them

contribute to over 80% of total sales over time.

Mondelez is considered the worldwide leader in

biscuits, chocolate and candy, and holds a

dominate position in gum. Its competitive

advantage is that it sells snack items in

complimentary food segments. This results in cost

leverage, capability sharing and commercial

marketing benefits. Moreover, it is able to take

advantage of the vast distribution networks some

of their subsidiaries have.

Mondelez has operations in approximately 80

countries around the world and distributes its

products in over 165.

Management is in the midst of implementing an

aggressive growth strategy, which it hopes will help

to increase its competitive advantage in the ever-

growing space. Management hopes to grow

organic revenue at or above the company growth

rate, achieve operating income of high single digits

(and double digits where possible) across all brands

and double digit constant currency growth.

Mondelez Stock Pitch (NASDAQ: MDLZ)

May 23rd, 2016

Over the past 5 years, the snack food industry has

benefited from increased demand. This comes as a

result of a strengthened economy, leading to

higher discretionary spending levels.

The industry is expected to grow at a 3.7% CAGR

over the next 3 years, with total revenue expected

to exceed $40B in 2016.

The biggest headwind for producers in the snack is

the ever-changing tastes and preferences of

consumers. With many consumers beginning to

embrace healthier lifestyles, snack food companies

are feeling the need to offer new health-conscious

items. Non-sugary snacks closely aligned with

meal-replacement foods are showing the strongest

growth of all areas, proving the movement by

consumers to healthier alternatives.

It is expected that improving economic conditions

throughout North America and Europe will lead to

increased demand for premium snacks. As such,

companies have begun producing organic and

whole food snack options to bring to the

marketplace.

There are four main drivers of the industry: per

capita disposable income, the healthy eating index,

the price of corn and the trade-weighted index.

Currently, there are three main companies

operating in this industry: Mondelez, PepsiCo and

ConAgra foods. Going forward, PepsiCo poses the

largest threat to Mondelez because of their

portfolio of household brands: Quaker’s, Lay’s,

Dorito’s and Fritos.

As of 2014, confections (which includes sugary

sweets such as chocolate, hard candy and gum)

represented the largest sales contribution in Europe

and the Middle East/Africa. Salty snacks were

favourites in North America, representing roughly

one-fifth of all snack consumption. Refrigerated

snacks were consumed the most in Asia-Pacific,

while cookies and snack cakes were best sellers in

Latin America.

Mondelez’s powerful presence in the snacking

category is led by 7 billion-dollar “Power Brands”

earning 68% of the company’s revenues. These

brands include Cadbury, Cadbury Dairy Milk, and

Milka chocolate; LU, Nabisco, and Oreo biscuits;

from significant brand loyalty resulting in operating

margins that are 1 to 2% higher than other brands.

Power Brands also grow faster than the company

average, therefore Mondelez plans to have them

contribute to over 80% of total sales over time.

In response to a shift in consumer preferences

towards healthier snacks, Mondelez expects 50% of

its product portfolio to be composed of “Well-

Being” offerings by 2020, up from 35% today,

aiming to become the global market leader in

better-for-you snack options. The recent U.S release

of Good Thins is the company’s first new snack

brand in over a decade and showcases their ability

to provide relevant, healthier snacks at competitive

prices. In order to retain future market share for the

Power Brands, Mondelez is focusing on more

aggressive marketing strategies (expected to climb

to 10% of sales in 2018, a gain of 2%) and simpler,

more nutritious ingredients.

Mondelez’s brands have seen shelf-space reduction

at some retailers over the past 2 years as they took

a price increase due to rising input costs earlier

than competitors such as Mars and Nestle. These

companies have hedges on their coca purchases

that are longer-term than Mondelez. However, the

pricing dynamics between Mondelez and their

competitors are beginning to normalize and

improve further into 2016. Mondelez has one of the

lowest exposure to private labels out of the

competition with just 10.6% of their portfolio

composing of private label brands. This means that

short-term increases in their cost base poses less of

a risk, and Mondelez will continue to benefit from

the strong brand loyalty which has been built over

many decades.

In order to focus on the core snacks portfolio and

boost growth, Mondelez engaged in a spin-off of

its coffee business in 2015 with D.E Master Blenders

to create Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE). The new

company, of which Mondelez has a 43.5% equity

stake in, will leverage both company’s share of the

coffee market and cost savings are expected to

total $1.5 billion by 2018. JDE sells coffee through

industry leading brands such as Gevalia and Jacobs

which achieve similar brand loyalty to Mondelez’s

Power Brands.

Mondelez has the advantage of product offerings in

complementary food categories, resulting in cost

leverage and capability sharing. For example, in

2012 Mondelez launched Stride in China using its

distribution network in biscuits.

Mondelez generates approximately 80% of its

revenues from outside the U.S. It operates in more

than 80 countries around the world, and sells

products in over 165 countries. It is estimated that

approximately 40% of Mondelez’s revenues come

from Brazil, Russia, China, India and Southeast Asia

(BRIC nations).

Over the past three years, we have seen numerous

food and beverage companies move into the

emerging markets as a result of their low per-capita

consumption. This means that they have significant

growth potential and are expected to gravitate

towards name brands.

Moreover, with a fast-growing middle class, the

BRIC nations have increasing demand for

convenience food and beverages. Snack food

producers with strong brand portfolios will excel in

this environment,

In 2010, Mondelez acquired Cadbury limited, one of

the world’s largest chocolate manufacturers. In the

years prior to the acquisition, Cadbury worked

tirelessly to develop production and distribution

networks in the BRIC nations. By acquiring Cadbury,

Mondelez is able to tap into the vast distribution

networks in these emerging nations. So far,

Mondelez has seen a 15% increase in its emerging

market sales. Furthermore, Cadbury has significant

presence in India which Mondelez is looking

forward to capitalizing on.

One of Mondelez’s strategic objectives stated in

their 2015 Annual Report is to revolutionize it’s

selling. To do so, they have made large changes to

their marketing campaigns and have invested

significantly in their BRIC nations marketing. This

will help their access to key emerging markets. In

2015, Mondelez acquired an 80% stake in a

Vietnamese biscuit manufacturer. This has helped

them to expand operations and distribution routes

in the Asia-pacific region.

Moreover, Mondelez has invested significantly in it’s

e-commerce platform. They believe that a strong e-

commerce platform will allow them to reach new

customers, and increase margins. They hope that

fuelling money into this platform will strengthen

brand recognition in it’s new key markets.

Under pressure from activist investor Nelson Peltz

and more recently Bill Ackman, Mondelez is

undergoing a restructuring plan to expand the

company’s margins. In 2013, the plan was initially

an increase of 3% to EBITDA margins. The key

drivers in Mondelez’s revamped plan for margin

expansion lies in plant efficiency, reducing its

complex system of 100,000 suppliers and 74,000

SKUs, and integrating Lean Six Sigma practices.

First, Mondelez reduced the number of its

employees in September 2015 in order to reduce

the over-allocation of its work force. Analysts

believe that a ~30% reduction of Mondelez’s

employees would bring their revenues on par with

their Multinational peers who also operate in the

emerging markets. However, this is a large target to

hit, thus the management team has planned for

other efficiency implementations to reduce costs.

A new, 250 acre lower-cost plant was established in

Salinas, Mexico in the second half of 2015. Due to

its proximity to suppliers, transportation routes, and

a built-in distribution center, the plant requires 1/3

of the staffing of a regular manufacturing plant to

produce the same capacity. The purpose of this

plant is to help fuel growth in the Americas, and

analysts believe that if 40% of sales in North

America are produced in Salinas, the company will

benefit from a 4% increase in gross margins. This

year, Mondelez is expected to open two more

similar plants in Russia and India, and by 2018 70%

of Power Brands are expected to be produced in

these lower-cost plants (an increase of ~45%).

Moreover, one of Mondelez’s goals is to increase

efficiencies in plants which were garnered through

acquisitions, yet never optimized. 40 “advantage

lines” have been installed up to 2015, and 35 more

lines are to be added by 2018. These lines are much

more efficient due to a modular design that

requires less production time, resources, as well as

space. The implementation of these new advantage

lines is expected to cut conversion costs by 20%

around the globe.

Overall, these cost-cutting efforts seem reasonable

as Hershey, a competitor, achieved similar gains

through almost identical procedures over the

period of 2010 to 2014, even as cocoa prices

doubled. Today, Mondelez faces less pressure from

key input costs like coca, making their restructuring

plan much more achievable. If Mondelez fails in its

efforts, it will face pressures from the

aforementioned activist investors to sell itself to

Kraft-Heinz. However, a successful execution of this

plan could lead to a merger with PepsiCo’s Frito

Lay; this has been discussed in depth in the past.

We believe that Mondelez would be an excellent

addition to the Consumers and Healthcare U.S

portfolio. MDLZ has exposure to the fast growing

snack food segment, and is also a financially stable

company. Mondelez owns many “power brands”

which are household staples across North America

and Europe, while gaining massive growth in the

emerging markets.

Mondelez will serve as additional exposure to the

food segment within our portfolio, which currently

holds fast-serve companies in Starbucks and

McDonald’s.

Lastly, we believe Mondelez provides durability in

the consumer space that is currently experiencing

massive threats to e-commerce. As a supplier of

food products that does not sell in brick and mortar

stores, we believe Mondelez will not only weather

the storm, but also thrive in the ever-changing retail

environment.

With intentions to sell, we propose a 15% stake in

Mondelez for our current U.S portfolio, representing

roughly a $4,000 investment.

Catalysts and Risks

Portfolio Fit

1. E-Commerce Expansion: On April 7, 2016

Mondelez formed an e-commerce partnership

with China’s leading online and mobile

commerce company, Alibaba Group Holding

Limited. The strategic deal is in line with the

company’s plans to expand e-commerce

platforms and generate more online sales.

2. New Snack Brand Launch: On March 7, 2016

Mondelez announced the launch of its first new

snack brand in more than ten years, named

Good Thins. The new brand will offer low-fat

and low-sugar snacks to meet the growing

consumer demand for healthier products.

3. Healthy Eating: As part of the company’s plan

to offer healthier foods, Mondelez set 2020

goals of reducing sodium and saturated fat by

10%, increasing whole grains by 25% and

placing calorie labeling on the front of packs of

all relevant products by YE 2016.

1. Volume Trends: Since it’s split from Kraft Food,

Mondelez has seen weaker volumes as a result

of higher pricing and category weakness. If this

continues, they could experience a slowdown

across all categories, which would lead to

weakening revenues.

2. Venezuela Operations: Sugar supply in

Venezuela has become scarce, forcing Coca-

Cola to halt production of its sugary drinks.

Although Mondelez has deconsolidated

operations in the area at an impairment cost of

$788 million, the location still remains a risk.

Mondelez may have to freeze its production in

the area as well and earn less cash from the

new Venezuelan subsidiary

3. Foreign Exchange: With 80% of Mondelez’s

revenues coming from outside the U.S, foreign

exchange will hurt the company’s bottom line.

In 2015, FX hurt revenue growth by 6%.

We value Mondelez using comparable companies

and a discounted cash flow model analyses. Cost of

equity is derived by using a 10-year treasury yield

of 1.85% and a market risk premium as calculated

by Aswoth Damodoran. The cost of debt was

calculated using the weighted average yield of

MDLZ’s debt.

Combined, MDLZ’s WACC is 5.7% - a low number

due to the company’s below average beta and cost

of debt. We assumed a 2% terminal growth rate

due to global expansion and MDLZ’s particularly

strong brand presence in emerging Markets. Our
