Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In management’s opinion, these interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary to fairly state our results for the periods presented.

We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December in each calendar year. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to years and quarters contained herein pertain to our fiscal years and fiscal quarters. Our 2021 fiscal year is scheduled to be a 52-week period ending on December 25, 2021, and the 2020 fiscal year was a 52-week period that ended on December 26, 2020.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 26, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Kraft Heinz and all of our controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Reportable Segments

We manage and report our operating results through three reportable segments defined by geographic region: United States, International, and Canada.

Considerations Related to COVID-19

The ongoing spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States and internationally, as well as measures implemented by governmental authorities in an attempt to minimize transmission of the virus, including social distancing mandates, shelter-in-place orders, and business restrictions and shutdowns, and consumer responses have had and continue to have negative and positive implications for portions of our business. Though many areas have relaxed restrictions, varying levels remain in many places and may be increased again.

In the preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures we have assessed the impact that COVID-19 has had on our estimates, assumptions, forecasts, and accounting policies and made additional disclosures, as necessary. As COVID-19 and its impacts are unprecedented and ever evolving, future events and effects related to the pandemic cannot be determined with precision and actual results could significantly differ from estimates or forecasts.

See Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Note 11, Postemployment Benefits, and Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, for further discussion of COVID-19 considerations.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, reserves, and expenses. These accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgments. We evaluate our policy elections, estimates, and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. We believe these estimates to be reasonable given the current facts available. We adjust our policy elections, estimates, and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Market volatility, including foreign currency exchange rates, increases the uncertainty inherent in our estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. If actual amounts differ from estimates, we include the revisions in our consolidated results of operations in the period the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

We made reclassifications and adjustments to certain previously reported financial information to conform to our current period presentation. In the first quarter of 2021, we reclassified certain balances, which were previously reported in prepaid expenses, to inventories on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain financial statement line items in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 26, 2020 and our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 27, 2020, were adjusted as necessary. See Note 7, Inventories, for additional information.

Held for Sale

At June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, we classified certain assets and liabilities as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily relating to the divestiture of certain of our cheese businesses, a business in our International segment, and certain manufacturing equipment and land use rights across the globe. At March 27, 2021, we had classified certain assets and liabilities as held for sale related to the divestiture of our nuts business. This divestiture closed in the second quarter of 2021 and is therefore no longer classified as held for sale at June 26, 2021. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to our accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020.

Note 3. New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Year

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes:

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12 to simplify the accounting in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. Certain amendments in this update must be applied on a prospective basis, certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective basis, and certain amendments must be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the period of adoption. This ASU became effective in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not impact our financial statements or the related disclosures.

Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

Assan Foods Acquisition:

In June 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement with two third parties, Kibar Holding Anonim Şirketi (“Kibar Holding”) and a certain holder of registered shares of Assan Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (“Assan Foods”), to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in Assan Foods, a condiments and sauces manufacturer based in Turkey, for approximately $70 million of cash consideration (the “Assan Foods Acquisition”). As part of the Assan Foods Acquisition, we will assume the debt of Assan Foods, which was approximately $30 million as of April 30, 2021. The Assan Foods Acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Deal Costs:

Related to our acquisition, we incurred insignificant deal costs for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021. We recognized these deal costs in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). There were no deal costs related to acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.

Divestitures

Nuts Transaction:

In February 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement with a third party, Hormel Foods Corporation (“Hormel”), to sell certain assets in our global nuts business for total consideration of approximately $3.4 billion (the “Nuts Transaction”). The net assets to be transferred in the Nuts Transaction included, among other things, our intellectual property rights to the Planters brand and to the Corn Nuts brand, three manufacturing facilities in the U.S., and the associated inventories (collectively, the “Nuts Disposal Group”).

7

---

In the first quarter of 2021, we determined that the Nuts Disposal Group met the held for sale criteria. Accordingly, we presented the assets and liabilities of the Nuts Disposal Group as held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 27, 2021. As of February 10, 2021, the date the Nuts Disposal Group was determined to be held for sale, we tested the individual assets included within the Nuts Disposal Group for impairment. The net assets of the Nuts Disposal Group had an aggregate carrying amount above their $3.4 billion estimated fair value. We determined that the goodwill within the Nuts Disposal Group was partially impaired. As a result, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $230 million, which was recognized in SG&A, in the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, we recorded an estimated pre-tax loss on sale of business of $19 million in the first quarter of 2021 primarily related to estimated costs to sell, which was recognized in other expense/(income) on our condensed consolidated statement of income.

The Nuts Transaction closed in the second quarter of 2021. As a result of the Nuts Transaction closing, we recognized an incremental pre-tax loss on sale of business of $17 million in other expense/(income) on our condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended June 26, 2021. The total pre-tax loss on sale of business for the Nuts Transaction was $36 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021.

The Nuts Transaction is not considered a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations or financial results; therefore, it is not reported as discontinued operations.

Cheese Transaction:

In September 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement with a third party, an affiliate of Groupe Lactalis (“Lactalis”), to sell certain assets in our global cheese business, as well as to license certain trademarks, for total consideration of approximately $3.34 billion, including approximately $3.20 billion of cash consideration and approximately $140 million related to a perpetual license for the Cracker Barrel brand that Lactalis will grant to us for certain products (the “Cheese Transaction”). The Cheese Transaction has two primary components. The first component relates to the perpetual licenses for the Kraft and Velveeta brands that we will grant to Lactalis for certain cheese products (the “Kraft and Velveeta Licenses”). The second component relates to the net assets to be transferred to Lactalis (the “Cheese Disposal Group”).

Of the $3.34 billion total consideration, approximately $1.59 billion was attributed to the Kraft and Velveeta Licenses based on the estimated fair value of the licensed portion of each brand as of June 26, 2021. Lactalis will have rights to the Kraft and Velveeta brands in association with the manufacturing, distribution, marketing, and sale of certain cheese products in certain countries. Lactalis will also receive the rights to certain know-how in manufacturing the authorized cheese products. The license income will be recognized in the future as a reduction to SG&A over approximately 30 years, as it does not constitute our ongoing major or central operations.

The remaining $1.75 billion of consideration was attributed to the Cheese Disposal Group as of June 26, 2021. The net assets in the Cheese Disposal Group are associated with our natural, grated, cultured, and specialty cheese businesses in the U.S., our grated cheese business in Canada, and our grated, processed, and natural cheese businesses outside the U.S. and Canada. The Cheese Disposal Group includes our global intellectual property rights to several brands, including, among others, Cracker Barrel, Breakstone’s, Knudsen, Athenos, Polly-O, and Hoffman’s, along with the Cheez Whiz brand in the majority of the countries outside of the U.S. and Canada. The Cheese Disposal Group also includes certain inventories, three manufacturing facilities and one distribution center in the U.S., and certain other manufacturing equipment.

Included in the consideration attributed to the Cheese Disposal Group is the perpetual license that Lactalis will grant to us for the Cracker Barrel brand for certain products, including macaroni and cheese. We determined that the Cracker Barrel license will be recognized on our consolidated balance sheet as an intangible asset upon closing of the Cheese Transaction, and increased the total consideration by approximately $140 million as noted above, which was the estimated fair value of the licensed portion of the Cracker Barrel brand as of June 26, 2021.

As of June 26, 2021, we assessed the fair value less costs to sell of the net assets of the Cheese Disposal Group and recorded an estimated pre-tax loss on sale of business of approximately $27 million, which was recognized in other expense/(income) for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021.

In the third quarter of 2020, we determined that the Cheese Disposal Group met the held for sale criteria. Accordingly, we have presented the assets and liabilities of the Cheese Disposal Group as held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020. As of September 15, 2020, the date the Cheese Disposal Group was determined to be held for sale, we tested the individual assets included within the Cheese Disposal Group for impairment. The net assets of the Cheese Disposal Group had an aggregate carrying amount above their then-current $1.78 billion estimated fair value. We determined that the goodwill within the Cheese Disposal Group was partially impaired. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $300 million, which was recognized in SG&A, in the third quarter of 2020.

8

---

Additional considerations related to the Cheese Transaction include the treatment of the Kraft and Velveeta Licenses upon closing of the transaction. At the time the licensed rights are granted, we will reassess the remaining fair value of the retained portions of the Kraft and Velveeta brands and may record a charge to reduce the intangible asset carrying amounts to reflect the lower future cash flows expected to be generated after monetization of the licensed portion of each brand. If the Cheese Transaction had closed in the second quarter of 2021, we would have recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset non-cash impairment loss of approximately $1.33 billion. The actual impairment loss will depend upon the excess fair value, if any, over carrying amount for each brand at the time we grant the perpetual licenses, which will be on the closing date of the Cheese Transaction. Changes in the fair value of the retained and licensed portions of each brand will impact the amount of any potential charges and the amount of license income that will be recognized, which, at this time, we would not expect to exceed the fair value of the perpetual licenses.

The Cheese Transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Upon closing of the Cheese Transaction, and in addition to any potential impairment losses identified related to the Kraft and Velveeta brands noted above, we may recognize a gain or loss on sale of business. While the consideration for the transaction is not expected to materially change, the actual gain or loss on sale of business to be recognized will depend on, among other things, final transaction proceeds, inventory levels and underlying costs as of the closing date, and changes in the estimated fair values of certain components of the consideration.

We utilized the excess earnings method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of the licensed portion of the Kraft brand and the relief from royalty method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of the licensed portions of the Velveeta brand and the Cracker Barrel brand. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating these fair values include the estimated future annual net sales and net cash flows for each brand, contributory asset charges, royalty rates (as a percentage of net sales that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of the brand to an unrelated licensee), income tax considerations, long-term growth rates, and a discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the future earnings attributable to each brand. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated product category growth rates, and guideline companies. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. See Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional information on the underlying assumptions and sensitivities.

The Cheese Transaction is not considered a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations or financial results; therefore, it will not be reported as discontinued operations.

Other Potential Dispositions:

As of June 26, 2021, we were in negotiations with a prospective third-party buyer for the sale of one business in our International segment. We expect this potential transaction to close in the next 12 months. We classified the related assets and liabilities as held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 for additional information.

In the first quarter of 2020, we had deemed a separate business in our International segment held for sale and recorded an estimated pre-tax loss on sale of business of $3 million within other expense/(income). In the fourth quarter of 2020, we deemed this business no longer held for sale and reversed the corresponding pre-tax loss. The related assets and liabilities were no longer classified as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet at December 26, 2020.

Heinz India Transaction:

In October 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement with two third parties, Zydus Wellness Limited and Cadila Healthcare Limited (collectively, the “Buyers”), to sell 100% of our equity interests in Heinz India Private Limited (“Heinz India”) (the “Heinz India Transaction”). In connection with the Heinz India Transaction, we agreed to indemnify the Buyers from and against any tax losses for any taxable period prior to January 30, 2019 (the “Heinz India Closing Date”), including taxes for which we are liable as a result of any transaction that occurred on or before such date. We recorded tax indemnity liabilities related to the Heinz India Transaction totaling approximately $48 million as of the Heinz India Closing Date. Future changes to the fair value of these tax indemnity liabilities will continue to impact other expense/(income) throughout the life of the exposures as a component of the gain on sale for the Heinz India Transaction. There were no changes to the tax indemnity liabilities during the six months ended June 26, 2021. We recognized a gain of approximately $1 million related to local India tax recoveries in the first quarter of 2020.

See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional details related to this transaction and the tax indemnity associated with the Heinz India Transaction.

Note 5. Restructuring Activities

See our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional information on our restructuring activities.

Restructuring Activities:

We have restructuring programs globally, which are focused primarily on workforce reduction and factory closure and consolidation. For the six months ended June 26, 2021, we eliminated approximately 350 positions related to these programs. As of June 26, 2021, we expect to eliminate approximately 10 additional positions during the remainder of 2021. Total restructuring expenses during the six months ended June 26, 2021 were $37 million and included $6 million of severance and employee benefit costs and $31 million of other implementation costs. Restructuring expenses during the three months ended June 26, 2021 were $19 million and included $2 million of severance and employee benefit costs and $17 million of other implementation costs. Total restructuring expenses were $4 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.

Our net liability balance for restructuring project costs that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP (i.e., severance and employee benefit costs and other exit costs) was (in millions):

			Severance and Employee Benefit Costs						Other Exit Costs						Total
Balance at December 26, 2020			$	10					$	20					$	30
Charges/(credits)			6						—						6
Cash payments			(13)						(2)						(15)
Balance at June 26, 2021			$	3					$	18					$	21

We expect the liability for severance and employee benefit costs as of June 26, 2021 to be paid by the end of 2021. The liability for other exit costs primarily relates to lease obligations. The cash impact of these obligations will continue for the duration of the lease terms, which expire between 2021 and 2026.

Total Expenses:

Total expense/(income) related to restructuring activities, by income statement caption, were (in millions):

			For the Three Months Ended												For the Six Months Ended

At June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, inventories excluded amounts classified as held for sale. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.

In the first quarter of 2021, we reclassified certain balances from prepaid expenses to inventories on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for additional information.

Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill:

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, were (in millions):

			United States						International						Canada						Total

At June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, goodwill excluded amounts classified as held for sale related to the Cheese Transaction. Additionally, the amounts included in divestitures in the table above represent the goodwill that was previously reclassified to assets held for sale and tested and determined to be partially impaired in connection with the Nuts Transaction. The resulting impairment loss of $230 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2021. The Nuts Transaction closed in the second quarter of 2021. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information related to the Cheese Transaction and the Nuts Transaction and their financial statement impacts.

2021 Year-to-Date Goodwill Impairment Testing

In the first quarter of 2021, we announced the Nuts Transaction and determined that the Nuts Disposal Group was held for sale. Accordingly, based on a relative fair value allocation, we reclassified $1.7 billion of goodwill to assets held for sale, which included a portion of goodwill from four of our reporting units. The Nuts Transaction primarily affected our Kids, Snacks, and Beverages (“KSB”) reporting unit but also affected, to a lesser extent, our Enhancers, Specialty, and Away From Home (“ESA”), Canada Foodservice, and Puerto Rico reporting units. These reporting units were evaluated for impairment prior to their representative inclusion in the Nuts Disposal Group as well as on a post-reclassification basis. The fair value of all reporting units was determined to be in excess of their carrying amounts in both scenarios and, therefore, no impairment was recorded.

12

---

We test our reporting units for impairment annually as of the first day of our second quarter, which was March 28, 2021 for our 2021 annual impairment test. In performing this test, we incorporated information that was known through the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We utilized the discounted cash flow method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. As a result of our 2021 annual impairment test, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of approximately $35 million in SG&A in the second quarter of 2021 related to our Puerto Rico reporting unit within our United States segment. With the update of our five-year operating plan in the second quarter of 2021, we established a revised downward outlook for net sales for this reporting unit. After the impairment, the goodwill carrying amount of the Puerto Rico reporting unit is approximately $14 million.

As of June 26, 2021, we maintain 14 reporting units, nine of which comprise our goodwill balance. These nine reporting units had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $31.5 billion at June 26, 2021. As of the 2021 annual impairment test date, six reporting units had 20% or less fair value over carrying amount and an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $28.3 billion, two reporting units had between 20-50% fair value over carrying amount and a goodwill carrying amount of $2.2 billion, and one reporting unit had over 50% fair value over carrying amount and a goodwill carrying amount of $961 million. We test our reporting units for impairment annually as of the first day of our second quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

2020 Year-to-Date Goodwill Impairment Testing

As previously disclosed, in the first quarter of 2020, following changes to our internal reporting and reportable segments, the composition of certain of our reporting units changed and we performed an interim impairment test (or transition test) on the affected reporting units on both a pre- and post-reorganization basis.

We performed our pre-reorganization impairment test as of December 29, 2019, which was our first day of 2020. There were no impairment losses resulting from our pre-reorganization impairment test.

We performed our post-reorganization impairment test as of December 29, 2019. There were six reporting units in scope for our post-reorganization impairment test: Northern Europe, Continental Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan (“ANJ”), Latin America (“LATAM”), and Puerto Rico. As a result of our post-reorganization impairment test, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $226 million in SG&A in the first quarter of 2020 related to two reporting units contained within our International segment, including $83 million related to our ANJ reporting unit and $143 million related to our LATAM reporting unit, which represented all of the goodwill associated with these reporting units. The remaining reporting units tested as part of our post-reorganization impairment test each had excess fair value over carrying amount as of December 29, 2019.

We performed our 2020 annual impairment test as of March 29, 2020, which was the first day of our second quarter in 2020. We utilized the discounted cash flow method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. Through the performance of the 2020 annual impairment test, we identified impairments related to our U.S. Foodservice, Canada Retail, Canada Foodservice, and EMEA East reporting units. As a result, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $1.8 billion in SG&A in the second quarter of 2020, which included an $815 million impairment loss in our Canada Retail reporting unit within our Canada segment, a $655 million impairment loss in our U.S. Foodservice reporting unit within our United States segment, a $205 million impairment loss in our Canada Foodservice reporting unit within our Canada segment, and a $142 million impairment loss in our EMEA East reporting unit within our International segment. These impairments were primarily due to the completion of our enterprise strategy and five-year operating plan in the second quarter of 2020.

See Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional information on these impairment losses.

Accumulated impairment losses to goodwill were $10.8 billion as of June 26, 2021.

Additional Goodwill Considerations

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows, income tax rates, discount rates, growth rates, and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, income tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or any factors that could be affected by COVID-19, change, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to our long-term operating plans, then one or more of our reporting units might become impaired in the future. Additionally, any decisions to divest certain non-strategic assets could lead to the impairment of one or more of our reporting units in the future.

In 2020 and continuing into 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic produced and has continued to produce a short-term beneficial financial impact to our consolidated results. Retail sales have increased compared to pre-pandemic periods due to higher than anticipated consumer demand for our products. The foodservice channel, however, has experienced a negative impact from prolonged social distancing mandates limiting access to and capacity at away-from-home establishments for a longer period of time than was expected when they were originally put in place. Our Canada Foodservice reporting unit is the most exposed of our reporting units to the long-term impacts to away-from-home establishments. While our other reporting units have varying levels of exposure to the foodservice channel, they also have exposure to the retail channel, which offsets some of the risk associated with the potential long-term impacts of shifts in net sales between retail and away-from-home establishments. Our Canada Foodservice reporting unit was impaired during our 2020 annual impairment test, reflecting our best estimate at that time of the future outlook and risks of this business. The Canada Foodservice reporting unit maintains an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of approximately $157 million as of June 26, 2021. A number of factors could result in further future impairments of our foodservice (or away-from-home) businesses, including but not limited to: mandates around closures of dining rooms in restaurants, distancing of people within establishments resulting in fewer customers, the total number of restaurant closures, forthcoming changes in consumer preferences or regulatory requirements over product formats (e.g., table top packaging vs. single serve packaging), and consumer trends of dining-in versus dining-out. Given the evolving nature of and uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to evaluate the impact on our reporting units as adverse changes to these assumptions could result in future impairments.

Our reporting units that were impaired were written down to their respective fair values resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the applicable impairment test dates. Accordingly, these and other reporting units that have 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment testing date have a heightened risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future. Although the remaining reporting units have more than 20% excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment testing date, these amounts are also associated with the acquisition of H. J. Heinz Company in 2013 by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and 3G Global Food Holdings, LP (the “2013 Heinz Acquisition”) and the merger of Kraft Foods Group, Inc. with and into H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation in 2015 (the “2015 Merger”) and are recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Therefore, if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future, these amounts are also susceptible to impairments.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets:

Changes in the carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consisted of trademarks, were (in millions):

Balance at December 26, 2020			$	42,267
Impairment losses			(69)
Divestitures			(1,487)
Translation adjustments			113
Balance at June 26, 2021			$	40,824

At June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, indefinite-lived intangible assets excluded amounts classified as held for sale related to the Cheese Transaction. Indefinite-lived intangible asset amounts included in divestitures in the table above represent amounts previously reclassified to assets held for sale related to the Planters trademark in connection with the Nuts Transaction, which closed in the second quarter of 2021. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information on the Cheese Transaction and the Nuts Transaction.

2021 Year-to-Date Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing

We performed our 2021 annual impairment test as of March 28, 2021, which was the first day of our second quarter in 2021. As a result of our 2021 annual impairment test, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $69 million in SG&A in the second quarter of 2021 related to two brands, Plasmon and Maxwell House. We recorded non-cash impairment losses of $45 million in our International segment related to Plasmon and $24 million in our United States segment related to Maxwell House, consistent with the ownership of the trademarks. The impairment of the Plasmon brand was largely due to downward revised revenue expectations for infant nutrition in Italy. The impairment of the Maxwell House brand was primarily due to downward revised revenue expectations for mainstream coffee in the U.S. These brands had an aggregate carrying amount of $822 million prior to this impairment and $753 million after impairment.

14

---

Our indefinite-lived intangible asset balance primarily consists of a number of individual brands, which had an aggregate carrying amount of $40.8 billion at June 26, 2021. As of the 2021 annual impairment test date, brands with 20% or less fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount after impairment of $22.5 billion, brands with between 20-50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount of $6.5 billion, and brands that had over 50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount of $11.8 billion. We test our brands for impairment annually as of the first day of our second quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a brand is less than its carrying amount.

2020 Year-to-Date Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing

We performed our 2020 annual impairment test as of March 29, 2020, which is the first day of our second quarter in 2020. As a result of our 2020 annual impairment test, we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $1.1 billion in SG&A in the second quarter of 2020 primarily related to nine brands (Oscar Mayer, Maxwell House, Velveeta, Cool Whip, Plasmon, ABC, Classico, Wattie’s, and Planters), which included impairment losses of $949 million in our United States segment, $100 million in our International segment, and $7 million in our Canada segment, consistent with the ownership of the trademarks. We recognized a $626 million impairment loss related to the Oscar Mayer brand, a $140 million impairment loss related to the Maxwell House brand, and a $290 million impairment loss primarily related to seven other brands (Velveeta, Cool Whip, Plasmon, ABC, Classico, Wattie’s, and Planters).

See Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional information on these impairment losses.

Additional Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Considerations

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual brands requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows, income tax considerations, discount rates, growth rates, royalty rates, contributory asset charges, and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, income tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or any factors that could be affected by COVID-19, change, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to our long-term operating plans, then one or more of our brands might become impaired in the future. Additionally, any decisions to divest certain non-strategic assets could lead to the impairment of one or more of our brands in the future.

As we consider the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to our indefinite-lived intangible assets, a number of factors could have a future adverse impact on our brands, including changes in consumer and consumption trends in both the short and long term, the extent of government mandates to shelter in place, total number of restaurant closures, economic declines, and reductions in consumer discretionary income. We have seen an increase in our retail business, as compared to pre-pandemic levels, in the short term that has more than offset declines in our foodservice business over the same period. Our brands are generally common across both the retail and foodservice businesses and the fair value of our brands are subject to a similar mix of positive and negative factors. Given the evolving nature and uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to evaluate the impact on our brands.

Our brands that were impaired were written down to their respective fair values resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the applicable impairment test dates. Accordingly, these and other individual brands that have 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment testing date have a heightened risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future. Although the remaining brands have more than 20% excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment testing date, these amounts are also associated with the 2013 Heinz Acquisition and the 2015 Merger and are recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Therefore, if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future, these amounts are also susceptible to impairments.

Definite-lived intangible assets:

Definite-lived intangible assets were (in millions):

			June 26, 2021																		December 26, 2020
			Gross						Accumulated Amortization						Net						Gross						Accumulated Amortization						Net
Trademarks			$	1,953					$	(510)					$	1,443					$	2,000					$	(478)					$	1,522
Customer-related assets			3,639						(977)						2,662						3,808						(942)						2,866
Other			15						(3)						12						15						(3)						12
			$	5,607					$	(1,490)					$	4,117					$	5,823					$	(1,423)					$	4,400

At June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, definite-lived intangible assets excluded amounts classified as held for sale. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information on amounts held for sale.

Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was $59 million for the three months and $119 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 and $68 million for the three months and $136 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. Aside from amortization expense, the change in definite-lived intangible assets from December 26, 2020 to June 26, 2021 primarily reflects the assets sold in connection with the Nuts Transaction, including certain customer-related assets with a net carrying value of $133 million and the Corn Nuts trademark with a net carrying value of $25 million, $9 million of non-cash impairment losses related to a trademark in our International segment, $2 million of additions related to an acquired license, and the impact of foreign currency. The impairment of definite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of 2021 related to a trademark that had a net carrying value that was deemed not to be recoverable. This non-cash impairment loss was recognized in SG&A in the second quarter of 2021.

We estimate that amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets will be approximately $239 million for each of the next five years.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. We operate in an international environment; accordingly, the consolidated effective tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in various locations and the applicable tax rates. Additionally, the calculation of the percentage point impact of goodwill impairment and other items on the effective tax rate are affected by income/(loss) before income taxes. Further, small movements in tax rates due to a change in tax law or a change in tax rates that causes us to revalue our deferred tax balances produces volatility in our effective tax rate. Our quarterly income tax provision is determined based on our estimated full year effective tax rate, adjusted for tax attributable to infrequent or unusual items, which are recognized on a discrete period basis in the income tax provision for the period in which they occur.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was an expense of 104.0% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily the tax impact related to the Nuts Transaction (46.0%) and the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international tax rates (35.4%), mainly an increase in U.K. tax rates. These impacts were partially offset by a favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2020 was a benefit of 3.0% on pre-tax losses. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily related to non-deductible goodwill impairments (23.8%), which were partially offset by the favorable impact of establishing certain deferred tax assets for state tax deductions and the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international tax laws.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 26, 2021 was an expense of 59.8% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily the tax impact related to the Nuts Transaction (22.4%), the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international and state tax rates (15.6%), mainly an increase in U.K. tax rates, and non-deductible goodwill impairments (5.2%). These impacts were partially offset by a favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions and the impact of certain net discrete items, including the reversal of uncertain tax position reserves in certain U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 27, 2020 was an expense of 9.4% on pre-tax losses. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily related to non-deductible goodwill impairments (39.2%), which were partially offset by the favorable impact of establishing certain deferred tax assets for state tax deductions and the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international tax laws.

Other Income Tax Matters:

As a result of the Nuts Transaction, we reclassified approximately $435 million of deferred income tax liabilities to income taxes payable, which is presented within other current liabilities, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 26, 2021. We expect to pay cash taxes of approximately $700 million in the second half of 2021 related to the Nuts Transaction.

We present all non-service cost components of net pension cost/(benefit) within other expense/(income) on our condensed consolidated statements of income. In 2021, we recognized special/contractual termination benefits related to the Nuts Transaction, including a gain of $1 million for the three months and a loss of $3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021. These special/contractual termination benefits are recorded in other expense/(income) as a component of our pre-tax loss on sale of business on the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021.

Employer Contributions:

Related to our non-U.S. pension plans, we contributed $8 million during the six months ended June 26, 2021 and plan to make further contributions of approximately $6 million during the remainder of 2021. We did not contribute to our U.S. pension plans during the six months ended June 26, 2021 and do not plan to make contributions during the remainder of 2021. Estimated future contributions take into consideration current economic conditions, including the impacts of COVID-19, which at this time are expected to have minimal impact on expected contributions for the remainder of 2021. Our actual contributions and plans may change due to many factors, including changes in tax, employee benefit, or other laws and regulations, tax deductibility, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates, or other factors.

Postretirement Plans

Components of Net Postretirement Cost/(Benefit):

Net postretirement cost/(benefit) consisted of the following (in millions):

			For the Three Months Ended												For the Six Months Ended
			June 26, 2021						June 27, 2020						June 26, 2021						June 27, 2020

Curtailments			(4)						—						(4)						—
Net postretirement cost/(benefit)			$	(15)					$	(37)					$	(27)					$	(73)

We present all non-service cost components of net postretirement cost/(benefit) within other expense/(income) on our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three and six months ended June 26, 2021, we recognized a curtailment gain of $4 million related to the Nuts Transaction. This gain is recorded in other expense/(income) as a component of our pre-tax loss on sale of business on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021.

Employer Contributions:

During the six months ended June 26, 2021, we contributed $6 million to our postretirement benefit plans. We plan to make further contributions of approximately $8 million to our postretirement benefit plans during the remainder of 2021. Estimated future contributions take into consideration current economic conditions, including the impacts of COVID-19, which at this time are expected to have minimal impact on expected contributions for the remainder of 2021. Our actual contributions and plans may change due to many factors, including changes in tax, employee benefit, or other laws and regulations, tax deductibility, significant differences between expected and actual postretirement plan asset performance or interest rates, or other factors.

Note 12. Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments:

The fair values and the levels within the fair value hierarchy of derivative instruments recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets were (in millions):

			June 26, 2021
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets and Liabilities (Level 1)												Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)												Total Fair Value

Total fair value			$	80					$	13					$	365					$	530					$	445					$	543

(a)    At June 26, 2021, the fair value of our derivative assets was recorded in other current assets ($13 million) and other non-current assets ($4 million), and the fair value of our derivative liabilities was recorded in other current liabilities ($62 million) and other non-current liabilities ($9 million).

(b)    At June 26, 2021, the fair value of our derivative assets was recorded in other current assets ($74 million) and other non-current assets ($264 million), and the fair value of our derivative liabilities was recorded in other current liabilities ($84 million) and other non-current liabilities ($375 million).

(c)     At June 26, 2021, the fair value of our derivative assets was recorded in other current assets, and the fair value of derivative liabilities was recorded in other current liabilities.

Total fair value			$	50					$	14					$	330					$	389					$	380					$	403

(a)    At December 26, 2020, the fair value of our derivative assets was recorded in other current assets ($28 million) and other non-current assets ($1 million), and the fair value of our derivative liabilities was recorded in other current liabilities ($50 million) and other non-current liabilities ($5 million).

(b)    At December 26, 2020, the fair value of our derivative assets was recorded in other non-current assets, and the fair value of our derivative liabilities was recorded in other current liabilities ($41 million) and other non-current liabilities ($292 million).

(c)    At December 26, 2020, the fair value of our derivative assets was recorded in other current assets, and the fair value of our derivative liabilities was recorded in other current liabilities.

Our derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements that allow for the offset of assets and liabilities in the event of default or early termination of the contract. We elect to record the gross assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If the derivative financial instruments had been netted on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, the asset and liability positions each would have been reduced by $271 million at June 26, 2021 and $315 million at December 26, 2020. We had collected collateral related to commodity derivative margin requirements of $76 million at June 26, 2021 and $25 million at December 26, 2020, which was included in other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity future and options contracts and are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

20

---

Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity swaps, foreign exchange forwards, options, and swaps, and cross-currency swaps. Commodity swaps are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign exchange forwards and swaps are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign exchange options are valued using an income approach based on a Black-Scholes-Merton formula. This formula uses present value techniques and reflects the time value and intrinsic value based on observable market rates. Cross-currency swaps are valued based on observable market spot and swap rates.

We did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities in any period presented.

Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Net Investment Hedging:

At June 26, 2021, we had the following items designated as net investment hedges:

•Non-derivative foreign-denominated debt with principal amounts of €650 million and £400 million;

•Cross-currency contracts with notional amounts of £900 million ($1.2 billion), C$1.7 billion ($1.3 billion), €1.9 billion ($2.1 billion), and ¥9.6 billion ($85 million); and

•Foreign exchange contracts denominated in Chinese renminbi with an aggregate notional amount of $115 million and in euro with an aggregate notional amount of $90 million.

We periodically use non-derivative instruments such as non-U.S. dollar financing transactions or non-U.S. dollar assets or liabilities, including intercompany loans, to hedge the exposure of changes in underlying foreign currency denominated subsidiary net assets, and they are designated as net investment hedges. At June 26, 2021, we had euro intercompany loans with an aggregate notional amount of $127 million.

The component of the gains and losses on our net investment in these designated foreign operations, driven by changes in foreign exchange rates, are economically offset by fair value movements on the effective portion of our cross-currency contracts and foreign exchange contracts and remeasurements of our foreign-denominated debt.

Cash Flow Hedge Coverage:

At June 26, 2021, we had entered into foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges for periods not exceeding the next two years and into cross-currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges for periods not exceeding the next seven years.

Deferred Hedging Gains and Losses on Cash Flow Hedges:

Based on our valuation at June 26, 2021 and assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities, we expect transfers to net income/(loss) of unrealized losses on foreign currency cash flow hedges during the next 12 months to be approximately $38 million. Additionally, we expect transfers to net income/(loss) of unrealized gains on cross-currency cash flow hedges and unrealized losses on interest rate cash flow hedges during the next 12 months to each be insignificant.

Non-Derivative Impact on Statements of Comprehensive Income:

Related to our non-derivative foreign-denominated debt instruments designated as net investment hedges, we recognized pre-tax losses of $13 million for the three months and pre-tax gains of $5 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 and pre-tax gains of $31 million for the three months and $65 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. These amounts were recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss).

Other Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximated fair values at June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020. Money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of money market funds was $133 million at June 26, 2021 and $144 million at December 26, 2020. These are considered Level 1 financial assets and are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

In this note we have excluded activity and balances related to noncontrolling interest due to their insignificance. This activity was primarily related to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 14. Financing Arrangements

We enter into various product financing arrangements to facilitate supply from our vendors. Balance sheet classification is based on the nature of the arrangements. We have concluded that our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are impacted by their participation in the program and therefore we classify amounts outstanding within other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We had approximately $155 million at June 26, 2021 and approximately $236 million at December 26, 2020 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these arrangements.

Transfers of Financial Assets:

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we entered into a nonrecourse accounts receivable factoring program whereby certain eligible receivables are sold to third party financial institutions in exchange for cash. The program provides us with an additional means for managing liquidity. Under the terms of the arrangement, we act as the collecting agent on behalf of the financial institutions to collect amounts due from customers for the receivables sold. We account for the transfer of receivables as a true sale at the point control is transferred through derecognition of the receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. No receivables were sold under this accounts receivable factoring program during the three or six months ended June 26, 2021, and there were no amounts outstanding at June 26, 2021 or December 26, 2020. Any proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash flows from operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 15. Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inquiries, inspections, or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business. While we cannot predict with certainty the results of Legal Matters in which we are currently involved or may in the future be involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve the Legal Matters that are currently pending will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Class Actions and Stockholder Derivative Actions:

The Kraft Heinz Company and certain of our current and former officers and directors are currently defendants in a consolidated securities class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Union Asset Management Holding AG, et al. v. The Kraft Heinz Company, et al. The consolidated amended class action complaint, which was filed on August 14, 2020 and also names 3G Capital, Inc. and several of its subsidiaries and affiliates (“3G Entities”) as defendants, asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly materially false or misleading statements and omissions in public statements, press releases, investor presentations, earnings calls, Company documents, and SEC filings regarding the Company’s business, financial results, and internal controls, and further alleges the 3G Entities engaged in insider trading and misappropriated the Company’s material, non-public information. The plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees, and other relief.

In addition, our Employee Benefits Administration Board and certain of The Kraft Heinz Company’s current and former officers and employees are currently defendants in an Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) class action lawsuit, Osborne v. Employee Benefits Administration Board of Kraft Heinz, et al., which is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit purport to represent a class of current and former employees who were participants in and beneficiaries of various retirement plans which were co-invested in a commingled investment fund known as the Kraft Foods Savings Plan Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) during the period of May 4, 2017 through February 21, 2019. An amended complaint was filed on June 28, 2019. The amended complaint alleges violations of Section 502 of ERISA based on alleged breaches of obligations as fiduciaries subject to ERISA by allowing the Master Trust to continue investing in our common stock, and alleges additional breaches of fiduciary duties by current and former officers for their purported failure to monitor Master Trust fiduciaries. The plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees, and other relief.

Certain of The Kraft Heinz Company’s current and former officers and directors and the 3G Entities are also named as defendants in a stockholder derivative action, In re Kraft Heinz Shareholder Derivative Litigation, which had been previously consolidated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and is now pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. That complaint, which was filed on July 31, 2019, asserts state law claims for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment, as well as federal claims for contribution for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly materially false or misleading statements and omissions in public statements and SEC filings, and for implementing cost cutting measures that allegedly damaged the Company. The plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecific amount, attorneys’ fees, and other relief. A further consolidated amended complaint is expected after appointment of a lead plaintiff.

Certain of The Kraft Heinz Company’s current and former officers and directors and the 3G Entities are also named as defendants in a consolidated stockholder derivative action, In re Kraft Heinz Company Derivative Litigation, which was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The consolidated amended complaint, which was filed on April 27, 2020, alleges state law claims, contending that the 3G Entities were controlling shareholders who owed fiduciary duties to the Company, and that they breached those duties by allegedly engaging in insider trading and misappropriating the Company’s material, non-public information. The complaint further alleges that certain of The Kraft Heinz Company’s current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by purportedly making materially misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s financial performance and the impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets, and by supposedly approving or allowing the 3G Entities’ alleged insider trading. The complaint seeks relief against the defendants in the form of damages, disgorgement of all profits obtained from the alleged insider trading, contribution and indemnification, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs.

We intend to vigorously defend against these lawsuits; however, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any, due to the early stage of these proceedings.

United States Government Investigations:

As previously disclosed on February 21, 2019, we received a subpoena in October 2018 from the SEC related to our procurement area, specifically the accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls related to our procurement function, including, but not limited to, agreements, side agreements, and changes or modifications to agreements with our suppliers. Following the receipt of this subpoena, we, together with external counsel and forensic accountants, and subsequently, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, conducted an internal investigation into our procurement area and related matters. The SEC has issued additional subpoenas seeking information related to our financial reporting, incentive plans, debt issuances, internal controls, disclosures, personnel, our assessment of goodwill and intangible asset impairments, our communications with certain stockholders, and other related information and materials in connection with its investigation. We have been responsive to the ongoing subpoenas and other document requests and are in discussions with the SEC regarding the potential resolution of its investigation. Based upon our current estimate for the ultimate resolution of the SEC’s investigation, we recorded an accrual in the second quarter of 2021, which is reflected in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 26, 2021 and in SG&A on our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021. While it is possible that the ultimate amount of our liability could be different than the amount accrued, we believe the potential liability, if any, to the extent different than the amounts already accrued, will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

As previously disclosed, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois is also reviewing this matter. We cannot predict the eventual scope, duration, or outcome of any potential action or whether it could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Debt

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through redemptions, tender offers, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancing, exchange offers, open market or privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or otherwise. Cash payments related to debt extinguishment are classified as cash outflows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Any gains or losses on extinguishment of debt are recognized in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Borrowing Arrangements:

On July 6, 2015, together with Kraft Heinz Foods Company (“KHFC”), our 100% owned operating subsidiary, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $4.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Senior Credit Facility”). In June 2018, we entered into an agreement effective on July 6, 2018 to extend the maturity date of our Senior Credit Facility from July 6, 2021 to July 6, 2023 and to provide a $400 million euro equivalent swing line facility, which is available under the $4.0 billion Senior Credit Facility limit, for short-term loans denominated in euros on a same-day basis. In March 2020, we entered into an extension letter agreement (the “2020 Extension Agreement”), which extends $3.9 billion under the Senior Credit Facility from July 6, 2023 to July 6, 2024. The revolving loans and commitments of each lender that did not agree to the 2020 Extension Agreement continue to terminate on July 6, 2023. On October 9, 2020, we entered into the Commitment Increase Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, which provides for incremental revolving commitments by two additional lenders in the amount of $50 million each, or $100 million in aggregate. Following the execution of the Amendment, the Senior Credit Facility provides for $4.1 billion through July 6, 2023 and $4.0 billion through July 6, 2024. On April 9, 2021, we entered into an extension letter agreement (the “2021 Extension Agreement”), which extends the maturity date of $4.0 billion under the Senior Credit Facility from July 6, 2024 to July 6, 2025.

In the first quarter of 2020, as a precautionary measure to preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty in the global economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed $4.0 billion under our Senior Credit Facility. We repaid the full $4.0 billion during the second quarter of 2020. No amounts were drawn on our Senior Credit Facility at June 26, 2021, at December 26, 2020, or during the six months ended June 26, 2021.

The Senior Credit Facility contains representations, warranties, and covenants that are typical for these types of facilities and could upon the occurrence of certain events of default restrict our ability to access our Senior Credit Facility. Our Senior Credit Facility requires us to maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income/(losses)) of at least $35 billion. We were in compliance with this covenant as of June 26, 2021.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by KHFC in the case of indebtedness and other liabilities of any subsidiary borrower and by The Kraft Heinz Company in the case of indebtedness and other liabilities of any subsidiary borrower and KHFC.

In March 2020, together with KHFC, we entered into an uncommitted revolving credit line agreement, which provides for borrowings up to $300 million. Each borrowing under this uncommitted revolving credit line agreement is due within six months of the disbursement date. In March 2021, we amended the uncommitted revolving credit line agreement to extend the final maturity date of the agreement from June 9, 2021 to June 9, 2022. As of June 26, 2021, no amounts had been drawn on this facility.

See Note 18, Debt, to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional information on our borrowing arrangements.

Tender Offers:

2021 Tender Offers

In February 2021, KHFC commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to the maximum combined aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion, including principal and premium but excluding accrued and unpaid interest (the “2021 Maximum Tender Amount”), of its outstanding 3.950% senior notes due July 2025, 3.000% senior notes due June 2026, 4.000% senior notes due June 2023, and 3.500% senior notes due June 2022 (the “Q1 2021 Tender Offer”), listed in order of priority. Based on participation, KHFC elected to settle the Q1 2021 Tender Offer on the early settlement date, March 9, 2021. Since the aggregate purchase price of the senior notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the early tender time exceeded the 2021 Maximum Tender Amount, we did not accept for purchase any of the 3.500% senior notes due June 2022 or the 4.000% senior notes due June 2023. The aggregate principal amount of senior notes validly tendered and accepted was approximately $900 million. Refer to the table above for the amount extinguished by senior notes in the Q1 2021 Tender Offer.

In June 2021, KHFC commenced cash tender offers to purchase up to the maximum combined aggregate purchase price of $2.8 billion, including principal and premium but excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of its 5.000% Senior Note due June 2042, 5.000% Senior Notes due July 2035, 4.625% Senior Notes due January 2029, 4.625% Senior Notes due October 2039, 3.750% Senior Notes due April 2030, 6.500% Senior Notes due February 2040, 6.375% Senior Notes due July 2028, 6.750% Senior Notes due March 2032, 6.875% Senior Notes due January 2039, and 7.125% Senior Notes Due August 2039 (the “Q2 2021 Tender Offers” and, together with the Q1 2021 Tender Offer, the “2021 Tender Offers”), listed in order of priority. KHFC settled the Q2 2021 Tender Offers on June 14, 2021 and June 16, 2021. The aggregate principal amount of senior notes validly tendered and accepted was approximately $1.4 billion. Refer to the table above for the amount extinguished by senior notes in the Q2 2021 Tender Offers.

Related to the 2021 Tender Offers, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $362 million within interest expense on the condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 26, 2021, which included a loss of $106 million in the first quarter of 2021 related to the Q1 2021 Tender Offer and a loss of $256 million in the second quarter of 2021 related to the Q2 2021 Tender Offers. These losses primarily reflect the payment of early tender premiums and fees associated with the 2021 Tender Offers as well as the write-off of unamortized premiums, debt issuance costs, and discounts. Related to the 2021 Tender Offers, we recognized debt prepayment and extinguishment costs of $369 million on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 26, 2021, which reflects the $362 million loss on extinguishment of debt adjusted for the non-cash write-off of unamortized premiums of $20 million, unamortized debt issuance costs of $7 million, and unamortized discounts of $6 million.

2020 Tender Offer

In May 2020, KHFC commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to the maximum combined aggregate purchase price of $2.2 billion, excluding accrued and unpaid interest (the “2020 Maximum Tender Amount”), of its outstanding floating rate senior notes due February 2021, 3.500% senior notes due June 2022, 3.500% senior notes due July 2022, floating rate senior notes due August 2022, 4.000% senior notes due June 2023, 3.950% senior notes due July 2025, and 3.000% senior notes due June 2026 (the “2020 Tender Offer”), listed in order of priority. As a result of the 2020 Tender Offer, KHFC extinguished approximately $2.1 billion aggregate principal amounts of senior notes in the second quarter of 2020. None of the 3.000% senior notes due June 2026 were tendered based on the aggregate principal amount of senior notes validly tendered exceeding the 2020 Maximum Tender Amount. See Note 18, Debt, to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional information on the 2020 Tender Offer.

In connection with the 2020 Tender Offer, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $71 million within interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020. This loss primarily reflects the payment of early tender premiums and fees associated with the 2020 Tender Offer as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, premiums, and discounts. Related to the 2020 Tender Offer, we recognized debt prepayment and extinguishment costs of $68 million on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 27, 2020, which reflect the $71 million loss on extinguishment of debt adjusted for the non-cash write-off of unamortized premiums of $1 million, unamortized debt issuance costs of $3 million, and unamortized discounts of $1 million.

Open Market Debt Repurchases:

In connection with the Q2 2021 Repurchases, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $28 million within interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021. This loss primarily reflects the payment of premiums associated with the repurchases as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, premiums, and discounts. Related to the Q2 2021 Repurchases, we recognized debt prepayment and extinguishment costs of $31 million on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 26, 2021, which reflect the $28 million loss on extinguishment of debt adjusted for the non-cash write-off of unamortized premiums of $5 million, unamortized discounts of $1 million, and unamortized debt issuance costs of $1 million.

In the second quarter of 2021, we initiated a purchase transaction for approximately $50 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.200% senior notes due July 2045, which was settled on June 28, 2021. These notes were included in the current portion of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 26, 2021. Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 26, 2021 do not reflect the extinguishment of these notes as it occurred in the third quarter of 2021.

Debt Redemptions:

In April 2021, KHFC issued a notice of redemption of all of its 4.000% senior notes due June 2023, effective May 1, 2021 (the “Q2 2021 Debt Redemption”). Prior to the redemption, approximately $447 million aggregate principal amount was outstanding.

In connection with the Q2 2021 Debt Redemption, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $34 million within interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021. This loss primarily reflects the payment of premiums and fees associated with the redemptions as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Related to the Q2 2021 Debt Redemption, we recognized debt prepayment and extinguishment costs of $33 million on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 26, 2021, which reflect the $34 million loss on extinguishment of debt adjusted for the non-cash write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1 million.

In June 2021, KHFC issued a notice of redemption of all of its 3.950% senior notes due July 2025, effective July 14, 2021 (the “Q3 2021 Debt Redemption”).

In February 2020, we repaid $405 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes that matured in the period.

Fair Value of Debt:

At June 26, 2021, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $29.1 billion as compared with a carrying value of $25.2 billion. At December 26, 2020, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $32.1 billion as compared with a carrying value of $28.3 billion. Our short-term debt had a carrying value that approximated its fair value at June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020. We determined the fair value of our long-term debt using Level 2 inputs. Fair values are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share

Our earnings per common share (“EPS”) were:

			For the Three Months Ended												For the Six Months Ended
			June 26, 2021						June 27, 2020						June 26, 2021						June 27, 2020
			(in millions, except per share data)
Basic Earnings Per Common Share:
Net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders			$	(27)					$	(1,651)					$	536					$	(1,273)
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding			1,224						1,223						1,223						1,222
Net earnings/(loss)			$	(0.02)					$	(1.35)					$	0.44					$	(1.04)
Diluted Earnings Per Common Share:
Net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders			$	(27)					$	(1,651)					$	536					$	(1,273)
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding			1,224						1,223						1,223						1,222
Effect of dilutive equity awards			—						—						12						—
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, including dilutive effect			1,224						1,223						1,235						1,222
Net earnings/(loss)			$	(0.02)					$	(1.35)					$	0.43					$	(1.04)

We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards in the denominator for diluted EPS. We had net losses attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020. Therefore, we have excluded the dilutive effects of equity awards for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on EPS. Anti-dilutive shares were 21 million for the three months and 7 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 and 16 million for the three months and 15 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020.

Note 17. Segment Reporting

We manage and report our operating results through three reportable segments defined by geographic region: United States, International, and Canada.

Management evaluates segment performance based on several factors, including net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, other expense/(income), provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (excluding restructuring activities); in addition to these adjustments, we exclude, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized gains/(losses) on commodity hedges (the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in general corporate expenses until realized; once realized, the gains and losses are recorded in the applicable segment’s operating results), impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and equity award compensation expense (excluding restructuring activities). Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Management uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources.

Management does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources. Therefore, we do not disclose assets by segment.

We present all non-service cost components of net pension cost/(benefit) and net postretirement cost/(benefit) within other expense/(income) on our condensed consolidated statements of income. See Note 11, Postemployment Benefits, for additional information on these components, including any curtailments and settlements, as well as information on our prior service credit amortization. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information related to our loss/(gain) on sale of business. See Note 12, Financial Instruments, for information related to our derivative impacts.

Other expense/(income) was $23 million of income for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $78 million of income for the three months ended June 27, 2020. This change was primarily driven by a $46 million loss on sales of businesses in the second quarter of 2021, an $11 million net gain on derivative activities in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a $45 million net gain on derivative activities in the second quarter of 2020, and a $29 million decrease in amortization of prior service credits as compared to the prior year period. These impacts were partially offset by a $6 million net foreign exchange loss in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a $41 million net foreign exchange loss in the second quarter of 2020 and a $14 million increase in net pension and postretirement non-service benefits as compared to the prior year period.

Other expense/(income) was $53 million of income for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $159 million of income for the six months ended June 27, 2020. This change was primarily driven by a $65 million loss on sales of businesses in 2021 compared to a $2 million loss on sales of businesses in 2020, a $31 million net loss on derivative activities in 2021 compared to a $27 million net gain on derivative activities in 2020, and a $58 million decrease in amortization of prior service credits as compared to the prior year period. These impacts were partially offset by a $30 million net foreign exchange gain in 2021 compared to a $24 million net foreign exchange loss in 2020 and a $21 million increase in net pension and postretirement non-service benefits as compared to the prior year period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Description of the Company:

We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including condiments and sauces, cheese and dairy, meals, meats, refreshment beverages, coffee, and other grocery products throughout the world.

We manage and report our operating results through three reportable segments defined by geographic region: United States, International, and Canada.

See Note 17, Segment Reporting, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for our financial information by segment.

Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results

Impairment Losses:

Our results of operations reflect goodwill impairment losses of $265 million and intangible asset impairment losses of $78 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to goodwill impairment losses of $2.0 billion and intangible asset impairment losses of $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020. See Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on these impairment losses

COVID-19 Impacts:

We have been actively monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our business. In the first half of 2020, particularly in March and April 2020, we experienced consolidated net sales growth as higher demand for our retail products more than offset declines in our foodservice business. In the first half of 2021, we continued to experience strong retail demand compared to pre-pandemic periods. However, retail consumption declined when compared to the first half of 2020 based on the strong consumer demand early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in March and April 2020. In the second quarter of 2021, our foodservice business experienced increased consumer demand compared to the comparable prior year period, which was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to see decreased foodservice demand compared to pre-pandemic periods. COVID-19 and its impacts are unprecedented and continuously evolving, and the long-term impacts to our financial condition and results of operations are still uncertain.

See Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information related to the impact of COVID-19 on our overall results. For information related to the impact of COVID-19 on our segment results see Results of Operations by Segment.

Results of Operations

We disclose in this report certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures assist management in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. For additional information and reconciliations from our condensed consolidated financial statements see Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Three Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Net sales decreased 0.5% to $6.6 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $6.6 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, including the unfavorable impact of divestitures (0.7 pp) and the favorable impact of foreign currency (2.3 pp). Organic Net Sales decreased 2.1% to $6.3 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $6.4 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix (3.6 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (1.5 pp). Volume/mix was unfavorable across all segments, while pricing was higher across all segments.

Six Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Net sales increased 1.6% to $13.0 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $12.8 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020, including the favorable impact of foreign currency (1.8 pp) and the unfavorable impact of divestitures (0.4 pp). Organic Net Sales increased 0.2% to $12.3 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $12.3 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020, driven by higher pricing (1.6 pp), which more than offset unfavorable volume/mix (1.4 pp). Pricing was higher across all segments, while volume/mix was unfavorable across all segments.

(a)    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section at the end of this item.

Three Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Operating income/(loss) increased to income of $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to a loss of $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, primarily driven by lower non-cash impairment losses in the current year period. Non-cash impairment losses were $113 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $2.9 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The remaining change in operating income/(loss) was a decrease of $186 million, primarily due to unfavorable input costs, including key commodity costs (which we define as dairy, meat, coffee, and nuts), lower Organic Net Sales, an accrual relating to the previously disclosed SEC investigation, and lower unrealized gains on commodity hedges in the current period. These decreases to operating income/(loss) more than offset efficiency gains, favorable changes in people and marketing expenses, lower depreciation and amortization expense, and the favorable impact of foreign currency.

---

Net income/(loss) increased to a loss of $25 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to a loss of $1.7 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020. This increase was driven by the operating income/(loss) factors discussed above (primarily lower non-cash impairment losses in the current year period), which more than offset higher tax expense, higher interest expense, and unfavorable changes in other expense/(income).

•Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was an expense of 104.0% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily the tax impact related to the Nuts Transaction (46.0%) and the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international tax rates (35.4%), mainly an increase in U.K. tax rates. These impacts were partially offset by a favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2020 was a benefit of 3.0% on pre-tax losses. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily related to non-deductible goodwill impairments (23.8%), which were partially offset by the favorable impact of establishing certain deferred tax assets for state tax deductions and the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international tax laws.

•Interest expense was $613 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $442 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020. This increase was primarily driven by a $318 million loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the current year period in connection with the Q2 2021 Tender Offers, the Q2 2021 Debt Redemption, and the Q2 2021 Repurchases compared to a $109 million loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the prior year in connection with the 2020 Tender Offer and the 2020 Debt Redemptions, as well as $20 million of interest expense related to the $4.0 billion drawn on our Senior Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2020 and repaid in the second quarter of 2020. The remaining change in interest expense was a decrease compared to the prior year period as our long-term debt balance was reduced through tender offers, redemptions, repurchases, and repayments.

•Other expense/(income) was $23 million of income for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $78 million of income for the three months ended June 27, 2020. This change was primarily driven by a $46 million loss on sales of businesses in the second quarter of 2021, an $11 million net gain on derivative activities in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a $45 million net gain on derivative activities in the second quarter of 2020, and a $29 million decrease in amortization of prior service credits as compared to the prior year period. These impacts were partially offset by a $6 million net foreign exchange loss in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a $41 million net foreign exchange loss in the second quarter of 2020 and a $14 million increase in net pension and postretirement non-service benefits as compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5.2% to $1.7 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $1.8 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, despite the favorable impact of foreign currency (1.8 pp). Lower Adjusted EBITDA in the United States and higher general corporate expenses more than offset Adjusted EBITDA growth in the International and Canada segments.

Six Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Operating income/(loss) increased to income of $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to a loss of $569 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020, primarily driven by lower non-cash impairment losses in the current year period. Non-cash impairment losses were $343 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $3.1 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020. The remaining change in operating income/(loss) was an increase of $137 million, primarily driven by unrealized gains on commodity hedges in the current year period compared to unrealized losses on commodity hedges in the prior year period, efficiency gains, higher Organic Net Sales, lower depreciation and amortization expense, and the favorable impact of foreign currency. These increases to operating income/(loss) more than offset unfavorable input costs, including key commodity costs, and an accrual relating to the previously disclosed SEC investigation.

Net income/(loss) increased to income of $543 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to a loss of $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020. This increase was driven by the operating income/(loss) factors discussed above (primarily lower non-cash impairment losses in the current year period), which more than offset higher tax expense, higher interest expense, and unfavorable changes in other expense/(income).

•Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 26, 2021 was an expense of 59.8% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily the tax impact related to the Nuts Transaction (22.4%), the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international and state tax rates (15.6%), mainly an increase in U.K. tax rates, and non-deductible goodwill impairments (5.2%). These impacts were partially offset by a favorable geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions and the impact of certain net discrete items, including the reversal of uncertain tax position reserves in certain U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 27, 2020 was an expense of 9.4%on pre-tax losses. Our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by certain net discrete items, primarily related to non-deductible goodwill impairments (39.2%), which were partially offset by the favorable impact of establishing certain deferred tax assets for state tax deductions and the revaluation of our deferred tax balances due to changes in international tax laws.

•Interest expense was $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $752 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. This increase was primarily driven by a $424 million loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the current year period in connection with the 2021 Tender Offers, the Q2 2021 Debt Redemption, and the Q2 2021 Repurchases compared to a $109 million loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the prior year in connection with the 2020 Tender offer and 2020 Debt Redemptions, as well as $22 million of interest expense related to the $4.0 billion drawn on our Senior Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2020 and repaid in the second quarter of 2020. The remaining change in interest expense was a decrease compared to the prior year period as our long-term debt balance was reduced through tender offers, redemptions, repurchases, and repayments.

•Other expense/(income) was $53 million of income for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $159 million of income for the six months ended June 27, 2020. This change was primarily driven by a $65 million loss on sales of businesses in 2021 compared to a $2 million loss on sales of businesses in 2020, a $31 million net loss on derivative activities in 2021 compared to a $27 million net gain on derivative activities in 2020, and a $58 million decrease in amortization of prior service credits as compared to the prior year period. These impacts were partially offset by a $30 million net foreign exchange gain in 2021 compared to a $24 million net foreign exchange loss in 2020 and a $21 million increase in net pension and postretirement non-service benefits as compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.2% to $3.3 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $3.2 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020, including the favorable impact of foreign currency (1.5 pp). Adjusted EBITDA growth in the International and Canada segments, as well as lower general corporate expenses, more than offset declines in the United States.

Adjusted EPS decreased 2.5% to $0.78 for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $0.80 for the three months ended June 27, 2020 primarily driven by lower Adjusted EBITDA, higher equity award compensation expense, and unfavorable changes in other expense/(income), which more than offset lower interest expense, lower taxes on adjusted earnings, and lower depreciation and amortization costs.

Six Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Diluted EPS increased 141.3% to earnings of $0.43 for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to a loss of $1.04 for the six months ended June 27, 2020 primarily driven by the net income/(loss) factors discussed above.

Adjusted EPS increased 7.9% to $1.50 for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $1.39 for the six months ended June 27, 2020 primarily driven by lower taxes on adjusted earnings, higher Adjusted EBITDA, lower depreciation and amortization costs, and lower interest expense, which more than offset unfavorable changes in other expense/(income) and higher equity award compensation expense.

Results of Operations by Segment

Management evaluates segment performance based on several factors, including net sales, Organic Net Sales, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, other expense/(income), provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (excluding restructuring activities); in addition to these adjustments, we exclude, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized gains/(losses) on commodity hedges (the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in general corporate expenses until realized; once realized, the gains and losses are recorded in the applicable segment’s operating results), impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and equity award compensation expense (excluding restructuring activities). Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations.

Under highly inflationary accounting, the financial statements of a subsidiary are remeasured into our reporting currency (U.S. dollars) based on the legally available exchange rate at which we expect to settle the underlying transactions. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in net income/(loss), rather than accumulated other comprehensive income/(losses) on the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. The exchange gains and losses from remeasurement are recorded in current net income and are classified within other expense/(income), as nonmonetary currency devaluation. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020, for additional information.

Three Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Net sales decreased 3.6% to $4.7 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $4.9 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, including the unfavorable impact of divestitures (0.9 pp). Organic Net Sales decreased 2.7% to $4.5 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $4.7 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, due to unfavorable volume/mix (4.0 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (1.3 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily due to extraordinary COVID-19-related retail takeaway in the prior year period and the negative impact from exiting the McCafé licensing agreement, which more than offset higher foodservice sales. Higher pricing was primarily driven by increases to reflect inflation justified pricing, including for higher key commodity costs for meat and dairy.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.0% to $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $1.5 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, as input cost inflation, including unfavorable changes in key commodity costs, lower volume, and unfavorable mix, more than offset pricing gains and cost efficiencies.

Six Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Net sales decreased 0.7% to $9.3 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $9.4 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020, including the unfavorable impact of divestitures (0.6 pp). Organic Net Sales decreased 0.1% to $8.9 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2021 compared to $8.9 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2021, due to unfavorable volume/mix (1.5 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (1.4 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily due to extraordinary COVID-19-related retail takeaway in the prior year period and the negative impact from exiting the McCafé licensing agreement, which more than offset favorable changes in retail inventory levels versus the prior year period and higher foodservice sales. Higher pricing was primarily driven by increases to reflect inflation justified pricing, including for higher key commodity costs for meat.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.2% to $2.7 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $2.7 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020, as input cost inflation, including unfavorable changes in key commodity costs, and lower volume more than offset pricing gains and cost efficiencies.

The impact of divestitures was flat year over year. Organic Net Sales increased 0.4% to $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 27, 2020, driven by higher pricing (1.9 pp), which more than offset unfavorable volume/mix (1.5 pp). Higher pricing included increases across markets. Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily due to extraordinary COVID-19 related retail takeaway in the prior year period, which more than offset higher foodservice sales.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.1% to $286 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $275 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020, primarily driven by higher pricing, the favorable impact of foreign currency (7.5 pp), and favorable overhead costs versus the prior year period, which more than offset lower volume, input cost inflation, and unfavorable mix.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.6% to $117 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $110 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020, primarily driven by the favorable impact of foreign currency (12.1 pp) and pricing gains versus the prior year period, which more than offset lower volume and unfavorable mix.

Six Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Net sales increased 8.8% to $856 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $787 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 including the favorable impact of foreign currency (9.6 pp).

Organic Net Sales decreased 0.8% to $780 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $785 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020, due to unfavorable volume/mix (4.0 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (3.2 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily due to extraordinary COVID-19-related retail takeaway in the prior year period, which more than offset higher foodservice sales.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 23.0% to $204 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $165 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020, primarily driven by pricing gains, the favorable impact of foreign currency (11.3 pp), and lower supply chain costs versus the prior year period, which more than offset lower volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In February 2020, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) downgraded our long-term credit rating from BBB- to BB+. These downgrades adversely affect our ability to access the commercial paper market. In addition, we could experience an increase in interest costs as a result of the downgrades. These downgrades do not constitute a default or event of default under any of our debt instruments. Limitations on or elimination of our ability to access the commercial paper program may require us to borrow under the Senior Credit Facility, if necessary to meet liquidity needs. Our ability to borrow under the Senior Credit Facility is not affected by the downgrades. As of the date of this filing, our long-term debt is rated BB+ by both Fitch and S&P and Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), with a positive outlook from Fitch and a stable outlook from Moody’s and S&P.

We believe that cash generated from our operating activities and Senior Credit Facility will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, repayments of long-term debt, future contractual obligations, payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends, planned capital expenditures, restructuring expenditures, and contributions to our postemployment benefit plans for the next 12 months. An additional potential source of liquidity is access to capital markets. We intend to use our cash on hand for daily funding requirements.

In the second quarter of 2021, we received approximately $3.4 billion of cash consideration following the closing of the Nuts Transaction. We expect to pay cash taxes of approximately $700 million in the second half of 2021 primarily to U.S. federal and state tax authorities related to the Nuts Transaction. We primarily utilized the post-tax transaction proceeds, along with cash on hand, to fund opportunistic repayments of long-term debt, including the Q2 2021 Tender Offers and the Q3 2021 Debt Redemption. See Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on these debt transactions.

Cash Flow Activity for the Six Months Ended June 26, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 27, 2020:

Net Cash Provided by/Used for Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by higher cash outflows for variable compensation in 2021 compared to 2020, higher current year income tax payments due to 2020 tax payments being delayed as a result of COVID-19-related governmental relief, and higher cash outflows from increased promotional activity versus the prior year period. These impacts were partially offset by favorable changes in accounts payable, largely due to the timing of purchases and favorable payment terms, cash collateral related to our commodity derivative margin requirements, and Adjusted EBITDA.

Net Cash Provided by/Used for Investing Activities:

Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to net cash used for investing activities of $237 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. This change was primarily driven by proceeds from the Nuts Transaction in the current year, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in 2021 compared to 2020. We expect 2021 capital expenditures to be approximately $1.0 billion as compared to 2020 capital expenditures of $596 million. This increase is primarily due to increased capital investments, largely for capacity expansion, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused delays in our planned 2020 projects and spend. Given the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, our estimates of 2021 capital expenditures are subject to change.

---

Net Cash Provided by/Used for Financing Activities:

Net cash used for financing activities was $4.6 billion for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 27, 2020. This change was primarily due to prior year proceeds from issuance of the 2020 Notes and higher debt prepayment and extinguishment costs in 2021 compared to 2020. These impacts were partially offset by lower repayments of long-term debt in the current year. See Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on our debt repayments and 2020 Notes.

Cash Held by International Subsidiaries:

Of the $3.9 billion cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 26, 2021, $1.9 billion was held by international subsidiaries.

Subsequent to January 1, 2018, we consider the unremitted earnings of certain international subsidiaries that impose local country taxes on dividends to be indefinitely reinvested. For those undistributed earnings considered to be indefinitely reinvested, our intent is to reinvest these funds in our international operations, and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the accumulated earnings to fund our U.S. cash requirements. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for local country withholding taxes that would be owed related to our 2018 through 2021 accumulated earnings of certain international subsidiaries is approximately $55 million.

Our undistributed historic earnings in foreign subsidiaries through December 30, 2017 are currently not considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Related to these undistributed historic earnings, we had recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately $20 million on approximately $340 million of historic earnings at June 26, 2021 and a deferred tax liability of approximately $20 million on approximately $300 million of historic earnings at December 26, 2020. The deferred tax liability relates to local withholding taxes that will be owed when this cash is distributed.

Trade Payables Programs:

In order to manage our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. Our current payment terms with our suppliers, which we deem to be commercially reasonable, generally range from 0 to 200 days. We also maintain agreements with third party administrators that allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from us, and, at the sole discretion of the supplier, sell one or more of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. Supplier participation in these agreements is voluntary. We estimate that the amounts outstanding under these programs were $720 million at June 26, 2021 and $740 million at December 26, 2020.

Borrowing Arrangements:

We maintain our Senior Credit Facility, which, following the execution of the Amendment in October 2020 and the 2021 Extension Agreement in April 2021, provides aggregate commitments of $4.1 billion through July 6, 2023 and $4.0 billion through July 6, 2025. Subject to certain conditions, we may increase the amount of revolving commitments and/or add additional tranches of term loans in a combined aggregate amount of up to $900 million.

In the first quarter of 2020, as a precautionary measure to preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty in the global economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed $4.0 billion under our Senior Credit Facility. We repaid the full $4.0 billion during the second quarter of 2020. No amounts were drawn on our Senior Credit Facility at June 26, 2021, at December 26, 2020, or during the six months ended June 26, 2021.

The Senior Credit Facility contains representations, warranties, and covenants that are typical for these types of facilities and could upon the occurrence of certain events of default restrict our ability to access our Senior Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all financial covenants during the six months ended June 26, 2021.

Long-Term Debt:

Our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $25.1 billion at June 26, 2021 and $28.3 billion at December 26, 2020. This decrease was primarily related to the approximately $2.3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes that were validly tendered and accepted in connection with the 2021 Tender Offers, the $447 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes redeemed in connection with the Q2 2021 Debt Redemption, the approximately $207 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes repurchased in connection with the Q2 2021 Repurchases, and the $111 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes that were repaid at maturity in February 2021. We used cash on hand to fund the Q1 2021 Tender Offer, the Q2 2021 Debt Redemption, and the Q2 2021 Repurchases and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith. We used proceeds from the Nuts Transaction along with cash on hand to fund the Q2 2021 Tender Offers and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith.

45

---

In the third quarter of 2021, we also used proceeds from the Nuts Transaction along with cash on hand to redeem $797 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in connection with the Q3 2021 Debt Redemption and to repurchase $50 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.200% senior notes due July 2045 under a Rule 10b5-1 plan.

We have aggregate principal amounts of senior notes of approximately $34 million maturing in September 2021, approximately $6 million maturing in March 2022, and approximately $631 million maturing in June 2022.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through redemptions, tender offers, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancing, exchange offers, open market or privately-negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or otherwise.

In September 2020, we entered into the Cheese Transaction, which includes approximately $3.2 billion of cash consideration. The Cheese Transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. We expect to use post-tax transaction proceeds from the Cheese Transaction, along with cash generated from our operating activities, to support our capital allocation priorities, including investments in the business and opportunistic repayments of long-term debt. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on the Cheese Transaction.

Our long-term debt contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. We were in compliance with all financial covenants during the six months ended June 26, 2021.

See Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on our long-term debt activity in 2021 and Note 18, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional information on our borrowing arrangements and long-term debt.

Supplemental Guarantor Information:

The Kraft Heinz Company (as the “Parent Guarantor”) fully and unconditionally guarantees all the senior unsecured registered notes (collectively, the “KHFC Senior Notes”) issued by KHFC, our 100% owned operating subsidiary (the “Guarantee”). See Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, and Note 18, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional descriptions of these guarantees.

The payment of the principal, premium, and interest on the KHFC Senior Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent Guarantor, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable indenture. None of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries guarantee the KHFC Senior Notes.

The Guarantee is the Parent Guarantor’s senior unsecured obligation and is: (i) pari passu in right of payment with all of the Parent Guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to all of the Parent Guarantor’s future subordinated indebtedness; (iii) effectively subordinated to all of the Parent Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets secured by that indebtedness; and (iv) effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries.

The KHFC Senior Notes are obligations exclusively of KHFC and the Parent Guarantor and not of any of the Parent Guarantor’s other subsidiaries. Substantially all of the Parent Guarantor’s operations are conducted through its subsidiaries. The Parent Guarantor’s other subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the KHFC Senior Notes or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, or other payments. Except to the extent the Parent Guarantor is a creditor with recognized claims against its subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of its subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over its claims (and therefore the claims of its creditors, including holders of the KHFC Senior Notes). Consequently, the KHFC Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that it may in the future acquire or establish. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor will terminate and be of no further force or effect in the following circumstances: (i) (a) KHFC’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or, except in the case of a guarantee of any direct or indirect parent of KHFC, covenant defeasance option in accordance with the applicable indenture, or KHFC’s obligations under the applicable indenture have been discharged in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture or (b) as specified in a supplemental indenture to the applicable indenture; and (ii) the Parent Guarantor has delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the applicable indenture have been complied with. The Guarantee is limited by its terms to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

The following tables present summarized financial information for the Parent Guarantor and KHFC (as subsidiary issuer of the KHFC Senior Notes) (together, the “Obligor Group”), on a combined basis after the elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Guarantor and subsidiary issuer and investments in any subsidiary that is a non-guarantor.

Commodity Trends

We purchase and use large quantities of commodities, including dairy products, meat products, coffee beans, nuts, tomatoes, potatoes, soybean and vegetable oils, sugar and other sweeteners, corn products, wheat products, and cocoa products, to manufacture our products. In addition, we purchase and use significant quantities of resins, metals, and cardboard to package our products, and we use natural gas, electricity, and diesel fuel in the manufacturing and distribution of our products. We continuously monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities.

We define our key commodities in the United States and Canada as dairy, meat, coffee, and nuts. During the six months ended June 26, 2021, we experienced cost increases for meat and coffee, while costs for nuts and dairy decreased. We also experienced cost increases for packaging materials due to market demand. We manage commodity cost volatility primarily through pricing and risk management strategies. As a result of these risk management strategies, our commodity costs may not immediately correlate with market price trends.

Following the closing of the Nuts Transaction in the second quarter of 2021, we expect our purchase and use of nuts to significantly decrease.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 for additional information on how we manage commodity costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the Q1 2021 Tender Offer, which reduced our long-term debt maturing in 2025 and 2026. In the second quarter of 2021, we completed the Q2 2021 Tender Offers and the Q2 2021 Repurchases, which reduced our long-term debt maturing in 2026 and thereafter, and the Q2 2021 Debt Redemption, which reduced our long-term debt maturing in 2023. See Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information. There were no other material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements or aggregate contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020.

Equity and Dividends

We paid common stock dividends of $979 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 and $977 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2021, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock, which is payable on September 24, 2021 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2021.

The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020.

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. Our critical accounting estimates and assumptions related to goodwill and intangible assets are described below. See Item 7, 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 26, 2020 for a discussion of our other critical accounting estimates and assumptions.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

As of June 26, 2021, we maintain 14 reporting units, nine of which comprise our goodwill balance. These nine reporting units had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $31.5 billion at June 26, 2021. Our indefinite-lived intangible asset balance primarily consists of a number of individual brands, which had an aggregate carrying amount of $40.8 billion as of June 26, 2021.

We test our reporting units and brands for impairment annually as of the first day of our second quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or brand is less than its carrying amount. Such events and circumstances could include a sustained decrease in our market capitalization, increased competition or unexpected loss of market share, increased input costs beyond projections (for example due to regulatory or industry changes), disposals of significant brands or components of our business, unexpected business disruptions (for example due to a natural disaster, pandemic, or loss of a customer, supplier, or other significant business relationship), unexpected significant declines in operating results, significant adverse changes in the markets in which we operate, or changes in management strategy. We test reporting units for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. We test brands for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each brand with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit or brand exceeds its estimated fair value, we record an impairment loss based on the difference between fair value and carrying amount, in the case of reporting units, not to exceed to the associated carrying amount of goodwill.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units and brands requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows, income tax considerations, discount rates, growth rates, royalty rates, contributory asset charges, and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, income tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or any factors that could be affected by COVID-19, change, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to our long-term operating plans, then one or more of our reporting units or brands might become impaired in the future. Additionally, any decisions to divest certain non-strategic assets could lead to the impairment of one or more of our reporting units or brands in the future.

In 2020 and continuing into 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic produced and has continued to produce a short-term beneficial financial impact to our consolidated results. Retail sales have increased compared to pre-pandemic periods due to higher than

anticipated consumer demand for our products. The foodservice channel, however, has experienced a negative impact from prolonged social distancing mandates limiting access to and capacity at away-from-home establishments for a longer period of time than was expected when they were originally put in place. Our Canada Foodservice reporting unit is the most exposed of our reporting units to the long-term impacts to away-from-home establishments. While our other reporting units have varying levels of exposure to the foodservice channel, they also have exposure to the retail channel, which offsets some of the risk associated with the potential long-term impacts of shifts in net sales between retail and away-from-home establishments. Our Canada Foodservice reporting unit was impaired during our 2020 annual impairment test, reflecting our best estimate at that time of the future outlook and risks of this business. The Canada Foodservice reporting unit maintains an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of approximately $157 million as of June 26, 2021. A number of factors could result in further future impairments of our foodservice businesses, including but not limited to: mandates around closures of dining rooms in restaurants, distancing of people within establishments resulting in fewer customers, the total number of restaurant closures, forthcoming changes in consumer preferences or regulatory requirements over product formats (e.g., table top packaging vs. single serve packaging), and consumer trends of dining-in versus dining-out. Given the evolving nature of and uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to evaluate the impact on our reporting units as adverse changes to these assumptions could result in future impairments.

As we consider the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to our indefinite-lived intangible assets, a number of factors could have a future adverse impact on our brands, including changes in consumer and consumption trends in both the short and long term, the extent of government mandates to shelter in place, total number of restaurant closures, economic declines, and reductions in consumer discretionary income. We have seen an increase in our retail business, as compared to pre-pandemic levels, in the short term that has more than offset declines in our foodservice business over the same period. Our brands are generally common across both the retail and foodservice businesses and the fair value of our brands are subject to a similar mix of positive and negative factors. Given the evolving nature and uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to evaluate the impact on our brands.

As detailed in Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in Item 1, Financial Statements, we recorded impairment losses related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Our reporting units and brands that were impaired were written down to their respective fair values resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the applicable impairment test dates. Accordingly, these and other reporting units and brands that have 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment testing date have a heightened risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future.

Reporting units with 20% or less fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $28.3 billion as of the 2021 annual impairment test date and included: ESA, KSB, Meal Foundations and Coffee, Canada Retail, Canada Foodservice, and Puerto Rico. Reporting units with between 20-50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $2.2 billion as of the 2021 annual impairment test date and included Northern Europe and Asia. The Continental Europe reporting unit had a fair value over carrying amount in excess of 50% and a goodwill carrying amount of $961 million as of the 2021 annual impairment test date. Our reporting units that have less than 3% excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment test date are considered at a heightened risk of future impairments and include our Canada Retail and Puerto Rico reporting units, which had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $1.4 billion.

Brands with 20% or less fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount after impairment of $22.5 billion as of the 2021 annual impairment test date and included: Kraft, Oscar Mayer, Velveeta, Miracle Whip, Lunchables, Ore-Ida, Maxwell House, Classico, Cool Whip, Jet Puffed, Plasmon, and Wattie’s. The aggregate carrying amount of brands with fair value over carrying amount between 20-50% was $6.5 billion as of the 2021 annual impairment test date. Although the remaining brands, with a carrying amount of $11.8 billion, have more than 50% excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment testing date, these amounts are also associated with the 2013 Heinz Acquisition and the 2015 Merger and are recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Therefore, if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future, these amounts are also susceptible to impairments. Our brands that have less than 3% excess fair value over carrying amount as of the 2021 annual impairment test date are considered at a heightened risk of future impairments and include our Kraft, Miracle Whip, Ore-Ida, Maxwell House, Classico, and Plasmon brands, which had an aggregate carrying amount of $15.4 billion.

We generally utilize the discounted cash flow method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future annual net cash flows for each reporting unit (including net sales, cost of products sold, SG&A, depreciation and amortization, working capital, and capital expenditures), income tax rates, long-term growth rates, and a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks inherent in each future cash flow stream. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated product category growth rates, management’s plans, and guideline companies.

49

We utilize the excess earnings method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of certain of our largest brands. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future annual net cash flows for each brand (including net sales, cost of products sold, and SG&A), contributory asset charges, income tax considerations, long-term growth rates, a discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the future earnings attributable to the brand, and management’s intent to invest in the brand indefinitely. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated product category growth rates, management’s plans, and guideline companies.

We utilize the relief from royalty method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of our remaining brands. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include the estimated future annual net sales for each brand, royalty rates (as a percentage of net sales that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of the brand to an unrelated licensee), income tax considerations, long-term growth rates, a discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the future cost savings attributable to the brand, and management’s intent to invest in the brand indefinitely. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated product category growth rates, management’s plans, and guideline companies.

As detailed in Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, in Item 1, Financial Statements, in the third quarter of 2020, we entered into the Cheese Transaction for total consideration of approximately $3.34 billion. The total consideration includes approximately $1.59 billion attributed to the Kraft and Velveeta licenses that we will grant to Lactalis and approximately $140 million attributed to the Cracker Barrel license that Lactalis will grant to us, the amounts of which were based on the estimated fair values of the licensed portion of each brand. We utilized the excess earnings method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of the licensed portion of the Kraft brand and the relief from royalty method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of the licensed portions of the Velveeta brand and the Cracker Barrel brand. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating these fair values include the estimated future annual net sales and net cash flows for each brand, contributory asset charges, royalty rates (as a percentage of net sales that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of the brand to an unrelated licensee), income tax considerations, long-term growth rates, and a discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the future earnings attributable to each brand. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated product category growth rates, and guideline companies. As of June 26, 2021, we assessed the fair value less costs to sell of the net assets of the Cheese Disposal Group and recorded an estimated pre-tax loss on sale of business of approximately $27 million, which was recognized in other expense/(income) for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021.

At the time the licensed rights are granted, we will reassess the remaining fair value of the retained portions of the Kraft and Velveeta brands and may record a charge to reduce the intangible asset carrying amounts to reflect the lower future cash flows expected to be generated after monetization of the licensed portion of each brand. If the Cheese Transaction had closed in the second quarter of 2021, we would have recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset non-cash impairment loss of approximately $1.33 billion. The actual impairment loss will depend upon the excess fair value, if any, over carrying amount for each brand at the time we grant the perpetual licenses, which will be on the closing date of the Cheese Transaction. Changes in the fair value of the retained and licensed portions of each brand will impact the amount of any potential charges and the amount of license income that will be recognized, which, at this time, we would not expect to exceed the fair value of the perpetual licenses.

The discount rates, long-term growth rates, and royalty rates used to estimate the fair values of our reporting units and our brands with 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount, as well as the goodwill or brand carrying amounts, as of the 2021 annual impairment test date for each reporting unit or brand, were as follows:

			Goodwill or Brand Carrying Amount (in billions)						Discount Rate												Long-Term Growth Rate												Royalty Rate
									Minimum						Maximum						Minimum						Maximum						Minimum						Maximum
Reporting units			$	28.3					6.5		%				7.0		%				1.0		%				1.5		%
Brands (excess earnings method)			16.3						7.0		%				7.2		%				0.8		%				1.5		%
Brands (relief from royalty method)			6.2						7.0		%				7.5		%				0.5		%				2.0		%				5.0		%				20.0		%

Assumptions used in impairment testing are made at a point in time and require significant judgment; therefore, they are subject to change based on the facts and circumstances present at each annual and interim impairment test date. Additionally, these assumptions are generally interdependent and do not change in isolation. However, as it is reasonably possible that changes in assumptions could occur, as a sensitivity measure, we have presented the estimated effects of isolated changes in discount rates, long-term growth rates, and royalty rates on the fair values of our reporting units and brands with 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount. These estimated changes in fair value are not necessarily representative of the actual impairment that would be recorded in the event of a fair value decline.

---

If we had changed the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units and brands with 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount, as of the 2021 annual impairment test date for each of these reporting units and brands, these isolated changes, which are reasonably possible to occur, would have led to the following increase/(decrease) in the aggregate fair value of these reporting units and brands (in billions):

			Discount Rate												Long-Term Growth Rate												Royalty Rate
			50-Basis-Point												25-Basis-Point												100-Basis-Point
			Increase						Decrease						Increase						Decrease						Increase						Decrease
Reporting units			$	(5.6)					$	6.8					$	3.2					$	(2.9)
Brands (excess earnings method)			(1.2)						1.4						0.5						(0.5)
Brands (relief from royalty method)			(0.5)						0.7						0.2						(0.2)						$	0.6					$	(0.6)

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited. We review definite-lived intangible assets for impairment when conditions exist that indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such conditions could include significant adverse changes in the business climate, current-period operating or cash flow losses, significant declines in forecasted operations, or a current expectation that an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. We perform undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if an impairment exists. When testing for impairment of definite-lived intangible assets held for use, we group assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If an impairment is determined to exist, the loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on definite-lived intangible assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

See Note 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for our impairment testing results.

Contingencies

See Note 15, Commitments, Contingencies, and Debt, in Item 1, Financial Statements, for a discussion of our contingencies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures we provide in this report should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as net sales, net income/(loss), diluted EPS, or other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Management believes that presenting our non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS) is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our results. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

Organic Net Sales is defined as net sales excluding, when they occur, the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures, and a 53rd week of shipments. We calculate the impact of currency on net sales by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year’s exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which we calculate the previous year’s results using the current year’s exchange rate. Organic Net Sales is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations.

51

---

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, other expense/(income), provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (excluding restructuring activities); in addition to these adjustments, we exclude, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and equity award compensation expense (excluding restructuring activities). Adjusted EBITDA is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. We have revised the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to adjust for the impact of certain legal and regulatory matters arising outside the ordinary course of our business, as management believes such matters, when they occur, do not directly reflect our underlying operations.

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share excluding, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, losses/(gains) on the sale of a business, other losses/(gains) related to acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., tax and hedging impacts), nonmonetary currency devaluation (e.g., remeasurement gains and losses), debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, and certain significant discrete income tax items (e.g., U.S. and non-U.S. tax reform), and including, when they occur, adjustments to reflect preferred stock dividend payments on an accrual basis. We believe Adjusted EPS provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis. We have revised the definition of Adjusted EPS to adjust for the impact of certain legal and regulatory matters arising outside the ordinary course of our business and certain significant discrete income tax items beyond U.S. tax reform, as management believes such matters, when they occur, do not directly reflect our underlying operations.
