CHICAGO — Mondelez International will highlight the company’s maintained growth, portfolio transformation and commitment to long-term value creation during the 2025 Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) conference.
Mondelez’ Dirk Van de Put, chair and CEO, and Luca Zaramella, CFO, will provide insights into the company’s strategic priorities and market leadership across key categories, including growth in baking adjacencies.
“Our strong foundation of iconic brands and attractive categories position us for continued value creation,” Van de Put said. “We’re excited about our strong playbook to win in large and attractive adjacencies, like cakes and pastries, that provide a significant runway of growth opportunities.”
Mondelez has delivered on its long-term growth algorithm, including 4.3% organic net revenue growth and 5.1% adjusted gross profit dollar growth in 2024 — despite the record cocoa cost inflation — demonstrating consumer’s continued interest in chocolate and baked snacks brands.
The company’s $2 billion cakes and pastries business, which currently holds the third global share position, is well-positioned to accelerate growth.
The CAGNY presentation will focus on four key areas of the company’s strategy:
– Advancing the portfolio reshaping and strong execution to deliver 90% of revenue from chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks.
– Navigating record cocoa input costs while growing market leadership across trusted brands.
– Winning in the fast-growing, $97 billion cakes and pastries category, executing the company’s proven playbook, and launching unique extensions of its chocolate and biscuit brands.
– Unlocking value through cash generation and disciplined capital allocation, focusing on expanded free cash flow, growth-accretive M&A and balance sheet flexibility.
“We have always remained focused on a simple but proven playbook: acquiring the right opportunities, executing a strong integration plan, and accelerating growth in our newly acquired brands through expanded distribution and elevated marketing capabilities,” Zaramella said.
