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 2023 fiscal year is scheduled to be a 52-week period ending on December 30, 2023, and our 2022 fiscal year was a 53-week period that ended on December 31, 2022.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2022 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 31, 2022. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include The Kraft Heinz Company and all of our controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.
Reportable Segments
We manage and report our operating results through two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America and International.
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.
Held for Sale
At April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we classified certain assets as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily relating to land use rights across the globe.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents include term deposits with banks, money market funds, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates the carrying amount. Cash and cash equivalents that are legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage are classified in other current assets or other non-current assets, as applicable, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At April 1, 2023, we had restricted cash recorded in other current assets of $1 million and in other non-current assets of $1 million. At December 31, 2022, we had restricted cash recorded in other non-current assets of $1 million. Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $828 million at April 1, 2023 and $1,041 million at December 31, 2022.
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 31, 2022.
Note 3. New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Year
Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50) - Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations:
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04 to add disclosure requirements relative to supplier financing programs under ASC 405, Liabilities. The guidance requires entities that maintain supplier financing programs to provide information in their financial statements about their use of supplier finance programs and their effect on the entity’s working capital, liquidity, and cash flows. Specifically, the amendment requires entities to disclose the key terms of their programs, amounts outstanding, balance sheet presentation, and a rollforward of amounts outstanding during the annual period. Only the amount outstanding at the end of the period is required to be disclosed in interim periods. We adopted this ASU when it became effective in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which is effective in fiscal year 2024. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
Hemmer Acquisition:
On March 31, 2022 (the “Hemmer Acquisition Date”), we acquired a majority of the outstanding equity interests of Companhia Hemmer Indústria e Comércio (“Hemmer”), a Brazilian food and beverage manufacturing company focused on the condiments and sauces category, from certain third-party shareholders (the “Hemmer Acquisition”).
The Hemmer Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Total cash consideration related to the Hemmer Acquisition was approximately 1.3 billion Brazilian reais (approximately $279 million at the Hemmer Acquisition Date). A noncontrolling interest was recognized at fair value, which was determined to be the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, as of the Hemmer Acquisition Date. As of the Hemmer Acquisition Date, we acquired 94% of the outstanding shares of Hemmer. In the third quarter of 2022, we completed the redemption of the remaining outstanding shares and own 100% of the controlling interest in Hemmer.
We entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure related to the cash consideration for the Hemmer Acquisition. See Note 11, Financial Instruments, for additional information.
We utilized fair values at the Hemmer Acquisition Date to allocate the total consideration exchanged to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation for the Hemmer Acquisition became final during the first quarter of 2023.
The final purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Hemmer Acquisition was (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Initial Allocation(a) | | Adjustments | | Final Allocation |
Cash | $ | 1 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1 | |

Goodwill on acquisition | 219 | | | (4) | | | 215 | |
Total consideration | $ | 279 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 279 | |
(a) As reported in Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to our condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 25, 2022.
The Hemmer Acquisition preliminarily resulted in $219 million of non-tax deductible goodwill relating principally to Hemmer’s long-term experience and large presence operating in emerging markets. In the fourth quarter of 2022, a portion of the goodwill became tax deductible following the merger of Hemmer into our existing legal entity structure. This goodwill was assigned to the Latin America (“LATAM”) reporting unit within our International segment. In the fourth quarter of 2022, certain insignificant measurement period adjustments were made to the initial allocation, and the final amount of goodwill was adjusted to $215 million.
The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Hemmer Acquisition was:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fair Value (in millions of dollars) | | Weighted Average Life (in years) |
Definite-lived trademarks | $ | 101 | | | 13 |
Customer-related assets | 21 | | | 15 |
Total | $ | 122 | | | |
We valued trademarks using the relief from royalty method and customer-related assets using the distributor method. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in developing the valuations included the estimated annual net cash flows for each definite-lived intangible asset (including net sales, cost of products sold, selling and marketing costs, and working capital/contributory asset charges), the discount rate that appropriately reflects the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends, as well as other factors. We determined 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 market comparables.
We used carrying values as of the Hemmer Acquisition Date to value certain current and non-current assets and liabilities, as we determined that they represented the fair value of those items at such date.
Just Spices Acquisition:
On January 18, 2022 (the “Just Spices Acquisition Date”), we acquired 85% of the shares of Just Spices GmbH (“Just Spices”), a German-based company focused on direct-to-consumer sales of premium spice blends, from certain third-party shareholders (the “Just Spices Acquisition”).
The Just Spices Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Total cash consideration related to the Just Spices Acquisition was approximately 214 million euros (approximately $243 million at the Just Spices Acquisition Date). A noncontrolling interest was recognized at fair value, which was determined to be the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, as of the Just Spices Acquisition Date. Under the terms of certain transaction agreements, Just Spices’ other equity holders each have a put option to require us to purchase the remaining equity interests beginning three years after the Just Spices Acquisition Date. If the put option is not exercised, we have a call option to acquire the remaining equity interests of Just Spices. Considering the contractual terms related to the noncontrolling interest, it is classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Subsequent to the Just Spices Acquisition, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value and its carrying amount adjusted for the net income/(loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
We utilized fair values at the Just Spices Acquisition Date to allocate the total consideration exchanged to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation for the Just Spices Acquisition was final as of December 31, 2022.
The final purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Just Spices Acquisition was (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Final Allocation |
Cash | | | | | $ | 2 | |
Trade receivables | | | | | 4 | |

The Just Spices Acquisition preliminarily resulted in $167 million of non-tax deductible goodwill relating principally to Just Spices’ social media presence. This goodwill was assigned to the Continental Europe reporting unit within our International segment. In 2022, certain insignificant measurement period adjustments were made to the initial allocation, and the final amount of goodwill was adjusted to $156 million.
The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Just Spices Acquisition was:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fair Value (in millions of dollars) | | Weighted Average Life (in years) |
Definite-lived trademarks | $ | 72 | | | 10 |
Customer-related assets | 100 | | | 15 |
Total | $ | 172 | | | |
We valued trademarks using the relief from royalty method and customer-related assets using the distributor method. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in developing the valuations included the estimated annual net cash flows for each definite-lived intangible asset (including net sales, cost of products sold, selling and marketing costs, and working capital/contributory asset charges), the discount rate that appropriately reflects the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends, as well as other factors. We determined 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 market comparables.
We used carrying values as of the Just Spices Acquisition Date to value certain current and non-current assets and liabilities, as we determined that they represented the fair value of those items at such date.
Deal Costs:
We incurred insignificant deal costs for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and the three months ended March 26, 2022 related to our acquisitions and divestitures. We recognized these deal costs in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).
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 31, 2022 for additional information on our restructuring activities.
Restructuring Activities:
We have restructuring programs globally, which are focused primarily on reducing our overall cost structure and streamlining our organizational design. For the three months ended April 1, 2023, we eliminated approximately 335 positions related to these programs. As of April 1, 2023, we expect to eliminate approximately 100 additional positions during the remainder of 2023, primarily in our International segment. For the three months ended April 1, 2023, restructuring activities resulted in income of $8 million and included $2 million of asset-related costs and a benefit of $10 million in other implementation costs. Restructuring activities resulted in expenses of $19 million for the three months ended March 26, 2022.
Our net liability balance for restructuring project costs that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP was (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Severance and Employee Benefit Costs | | Other Exit Costs | | Total |
Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | 28 | | | $ | 11 | | | $ | 39 | |
| | | | | |
Cash payments | (10) | | | (1) | | | (11) | |
Non-cash utilization | (2) | | | (1) | | | (3) | |
Balance at April 1, 2023 | $ | 16 | | | $ | 9 | | | $ | 25 | |
We expect the liability for severance and employee benefit costs as of April 1, 2023 to be paid by the end of 2023. 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 2024 and 2026.
Total Expenses/(Income):
Total expense/(income) related to restructuring activities, by income statement caption, were (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill:
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, were (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| North America | | International | | Total |
Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | 27,685 | | | $ | 3,148 | | | $ | 30,833 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |

Balance at April 1, 2023 | $ | 27,688 | | | $ | 3,200 | | | $ | 30,888 | |
As of April 1, 2023, we maintain 11 reporting units, seven of which comprise our goodwill balance. These seven reporting units had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $30.9 billion at April 1, 2023. As of their latest impairment test, our reporting units with 20% or less fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $16.4 billion and included Taste, Meals, and Away From Home (“TMA”), Canada and North America Coffee (“CNAC”), and Continental Europe; and our reporting units with between 20-50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate goodwill carrying amount of $14.5 billion and included Fresh, Beverages, and Desserts (“FBD”), Northern Europe, Asia, and LATAM.
Accumulated impairment losses to goodwill were $11.3 billion as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
No events occurred during the three months ended April 1, 2023 or the three months ended March 26, 2022 that indicated it was more likely than not that our goodwill was impaired.
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. Our current expectations also include certain assumptions that could be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet our pricing expectations in relation to inflation. 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 inflation, 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 has led and could in the future lead to goodwill impairments.
Our reporting units that were impaired in 2022 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, reporting units that have 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount as of their latest impairment test 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 their latest impairment test, these amounts are also susceptible to impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors significantly change in the future.
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 31, 2022 | $ | 38,552 | |
| |
| |
| |
Translation adjustments and other | 68 | |
Balance at April 1, 2023 | $ | 38,620 | |
Our indefinite-lived intangible asset balance primarily consists of a number of individual brands, which had an aggregate carrying amount of $38.6 billion at April 1, 2023. As of their latest impairment test, brands with 20% or less fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount after impairment of $16.6 billion, brands with between 20-50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount of $2.5 billion, and brands that had over 50% fair value over carrying amount had an aggregate carrying amount of $19.4 billion.
No events occurred during the three months ended April 1, 2023 or the three months ended March 26, 2022 that indicated it was more likely than not that any brand was impaired.
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. Our current expectations also include certain assumptions that could be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet our pricing expectations in relation to inflation. 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 inflation, 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 has led and could in the future lead to intangible asset impairments.
Our brands that were impaired in 2022 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 their latest impairment test 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 their latest impairment test, these amounts are also susceptible to impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors significantly change in the future.
Definite-lived intangible assets:
Definite-lived intangible assets were (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| April 1, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |

Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was $62 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and $64 million for the three months ended March 26, 2022. Aside from amortization expense, the change in definite-lived intangible assets from December 31, 2022 to April 1, 2023 primarily reflects the impact of foreign currency.
We estimate that amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets will be approximately $250 million in 2023 and each of the following five years.
Note 8. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and non-U.S. 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 April 1, 2023 was an expense of 20.3% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 26, 2022 was an expense of 19.6% on pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the geographic mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions and the impact of certain net discrete items, primarily the reversal of uncertain tax position reserves in certain foreign jurisdictions. The year over year increase was due primarily to the impact of changes in uncertain tax position reserves.
Other Income Tax Matters:
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we are currently under examination for income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the years 2018 and 2019. We are continuing to respond to Information Document Requests. We received a draft economist report and expect to receive a Notice of Proposed Adjustment relating to transfer pricing with our foreign subsidiaries asserting that our U.S. taxable income should have been higher in 2018 and 2019, which would result in additional U.S. tax expense for 2018 and 2019 plus interest and potential penalties. We strongly disagree with the IRS’s suggested position, believe that our tax positions are properly supported, and intend to vigorously contest the position taken by the IRS and pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies. We continue to maintain our operating model and believe our income tax reserves are appropriate for all open tax years and that final adjudication of this matter will not have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. However, the ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain, and if we are required to pay the IRS additional U.S. taxes, interest, and potential penalties, our results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in the United States. We are currently evaluating the law and do not expect the Inflation Reduction Act to have a significant impact on our financial statements, including our annual estimated effective tax rate.
