Mondelez International, Inc. Research Report

On November 6, 2013, Mondelez International, Inc. (Mondelez International) reported its financial results for Q3 2013. Net revenue increased 1.8% YoY to $8.5 billion during the quarter.

Commenting on the results, Mondelez International's Chairman and CEO, Irene Rosenfeld said, "We delivered solid results in a difficult environment.

Weak biscuit performance in China, continued headwinds from coffee pricing and slower global category growth, however, led to revenue growth below our expectations."
