The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed balance sheet information at January ~~2, 2021~~1, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

Accounts payable

The Company has agreements with third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, and the agreements facilitate the suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. The Company has no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under the arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. The payment of these obligations by the Company is included in cash used in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of April ~~3, 2021, $913~~2, 2022, $949 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking ~~system, and participating suppliers had sold $665 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions.~~system. As of January ~~2, 2021, $909~~1, 2022, $905 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking ~~system, and participating suppliers had sold $670 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions.~~

system.

Note 2 Sale of accounts receivable

The Company has a program in which a discrete group of customers are allowed to extend their payment terms in exchange for the elimination of early payment discounts (Extended Terms Program).

The Company has two Receivable Sales Agreements (Monetization Programs) described below, which are intended to directly offset the impact the Extended Terms Program would have on the days-sales-outstanding (DSO) metric that is critical to the effective management of the Company's accounts receivable balance and overall working capital. The Monetization Programs sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable invoices to third party financial institutions. Transfers under these agreements are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Monetization Programs provide for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum receivables that may be sold at any time is ~~$1,033 million.~~approximately $1.1 billion.

The Company has no retained interest in the receivables sold, however the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold receivables. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 and January ~~2, 2021~~1, 2022 for these agreements as the fair value of these servicing arrangements as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.

~~Table of Contents~~

Accounts receivable sold of ~~$785~~$468 million and ~~$783~~$549 million remained outstanding under these arrangements as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 and January ~~2, 2021,~~1, 2022, respectively. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The recorded net loss on sale of receivables was $2 million for both the ~~quarter~~quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, ~~2021 and was $6 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2020.~~2021. The recorded loss is included in Other income and expense, net (OIE).

Table of Contents

Other programs

Additionally, from time to time certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries will transfer, without recourse, accounts receivable invoices of certain customers to financial institutions. These transactions are accounted for as sales of the receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accounts receivable sold of ~~$16~~$26 million and ~~$55~~$66 million remained outstanding under these programs as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 and January ~~2, 2021,~~1, 2022, respectively. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The recorded net loss on the sale of these receivables is included in OIE and is not material.

Note 3 Equity

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, restricted stock units, and ~~to a lesser extent,~~ certain contingently issuable performance shares. There were 128 million and 712 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, ~~and March 28, 2020,~~ respectively. Please refer to the Consolidated Statement of Income for basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, ~~2021 and March 28, 2020.~~2021.

Share repurchases

In February 2020, the board of directors approved a new authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of our common stock through December 2022. During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 5 million shares of common stock for a total of $300 million. During the quarter ended April 3, 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 4 million shares of common stock for a total of $240 million. ~~During the quarter ended March 28, 2020, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock.~~

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, fair value adjustments associated with cash flow hedges, adjustments for net experience losses and prior service cost related to employee benefit plans, and adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of related tax effects.

For the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $21 million, rel

ated to the remeasurement of a certain U.S. pension plan. For the quarter ended April 3, 2021, the Company recognized a gaingain of $9 ~~million, related to the remeasurement of a U.S. pension plan.~~ ~~For the quarter ended March 28, 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $14~~ million related to the remeasurement of a U.S. pension plan. ~~The~~These remeasurements were the result of distributions that exceeded ~~or are expected to exceed~~ service and interest costs resulting in settlement accounting for that particular plan. The ~~amount of the~~ remeasurements recognized were due primarily to changes in the discount rate relative to the previous measurements.

Note 5 Income taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 ~~and March 28, 2020~~ was ~~23% a~~21% ~~nd 21%~~and 23%, respectively.

As of April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, the Company ~~classified $19~~classified $14 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current tax liability. Management's estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months consists of the current liability expected to be settled within one year, offset by ~~approximately~~approximately $3 million ofof projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate.

The Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 was ~~$65 million.~~$48 million. Of this balance, ~~$56~~$41 million represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods.

The accrual balance for tax-related interest was approximately ~~$14~~$8 million at April ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022.

Note 6 Derivative instruments and fair value measurements

The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative and nonderivative financial instruments and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged.

The Company designates derivatives and nonderivative hedging instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.

Derivative instruments are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the contractual maturity of the instrument or the timing of the underlying cash flows of the instrument for derivatives with contractual maturities beyond one year. Any collateral associated with derivative instruments is classified as other assets or other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet depending on whether the counterparty collateral is in an asset or liability position. Margin deposits related to exchange-traded commodities are recorded in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with derivative instruments are classified according to the nature of the underlying hedged item. Cash flows associated with collateral and margin deposits on exchange-traded commodities are classified as investing cash flows when the collateral account is in an asset position and as financing cash flows when the collateral account is in a liability position.

Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 and January ~~2, 2021~~1, 2022 were as follows:

Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 and January ~~2, 2021,~~1, 2022, measured on a recurring basis.

Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.

Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For

~~Table of Contents~~

the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.

The Company’s calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Cross-currency contracts are valued based on changes in the spot rate at the time of valuation compared to the spot rate at the time of execution, as well as the change in the interest differential between the two currencies. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 or January ~~2, 2021.~~1, 2022.

During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company settled certain interest rate contracts resulting in a net gain of approximately $82 million. These derivatives were accounted for as cash flow hedges and the related net gains were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the related forecasted fixed rate debt, once issued. Additionally during the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company settled certain cross currency swaps resulting in a net gain of $37 million. These cross currency swaps were accounted for as net investment hedges and the related net gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

During the next 12 months, the Company expects ~~$16~~$17 million of net deferred losses reported in AOCI at April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 to be reclassified to income, assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions requiring the Company to post collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a liability position if the Company’s credit rating is at or below BB+ (S&P), or Baa1 (Moody’s). The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position on April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 was not material. In addition, certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would be triggered in the event the Company defaults on its debt agreements. There were 0no collateral posting requirements as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features.

During the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, the Company sold ~~approximately $5 million of investments in~~ level 2 corporate ~~bonds. The resulting gain from the sale of these investments was less than~~bonds for approximately $1 million ~~dollars and was~~resulting in an immaterial gain recorded in Other income and (expense). Also during the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company purchased approximately $2 million in level 2 corporate bonds.

The market values of the Company's investments in level 2 corporate bonds ~~were~~are based on matrices or models from pricing vendors. Unrealized gains and losses ~~were~~are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Additionally, these investments ~~were~~are recorded within Other current assets and Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on the maturity of the individual security. The maturity dates of the securities range from 2022 to 2036.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and requires the recognition of an impairment loss in earnings. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than its cost, the Company's intent to hold the investment, and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the cost basis. The Company also considers the type of security, related industry and sector performance, and published investment ratings. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If conditions within individual markets, industry segments, or macro-economic environments deteriorate, the Company could incur future impairments.

16Equity investments

~~Table~~We hold equity investments in certain companies that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence. Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at original cost. Investments with a readily determinable fair value, which are level 2 investments, are measured at fair value based on observable market price changes, with gains and losses recorded through net earnings. Equity investments were approximately $40 million as of ~~Contents~~April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022.Additionally, these investments were recorded within Other noncurrent assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Financial instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s short-term items, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which are level 2 liabilities, is calculated based on broker quotes. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was ~~$7.3~~$6.2 billion and ~~$6.7~~$6.0 billion, respectively, as of April ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt ~~were $7.7~~was $6.9 billion and ~~$6.7~~$6.3 billion, respectively, as of January ~~2, 2021.~~1, 2022.

Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. Management believes a concentration of credit risk with respect to derivative counterparties is limited due to the credit ratings and use of master netting and reciprocal collateralization agreements with the counterparties and the use of exchange-traded commodity contracts.

Master netting agreements apply in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. Certain counterparties represent a concentration of credit risk to the Company. If those counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of derivative contracts, this would result in a loss to the ~~Company of approximately $109 million, net of collateral already received from those counterparties, as~~Company. As of April ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022, the Company was not in a significant net asset position with any counterparties with which a master netting agreement would apply.

Table of Contents

For certain derivative contracts, reciprocal collateralization agreements with counterparties call for the posting of collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss position to the Company or its counterparties exceeds a certain amount. In addition, the Company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with its open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments executed with the counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. As of April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, the Company posted ~~$34~~$37 million in margin deposits for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Management believes concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the generally high credit quality of the Company’s major customers, as well as the large number and geographic dispersion of smaller customers. However, the Company conducts a disproportionate amount of business with a small number of large multinational grocery retailers, with the five largest accounts encompassing approximately 24% of consolidated trade receivables at April 3, 2021.

~~Note 9 Contingencies~~

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inspections or investigations in the ordinary course of business covering matters such as general commercial, governmental regulations, antitrust and trade regulations, product liability, environmental, intellectual property, workers’ compensation, employment and other actions. These matters are subject to uncertainty and the outcome is not predictable with assurance. The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability and product liability.

In 2016, a class action complaint was filed against Kellogg in the Northern District of California relating to statements made on packaging for certain products. In August 2019, the Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff regarding certain statements made on the Company’s products and ordered the parties to conduct settlement discussions related to all matters in dispute. In October 2019, the plaintiff filed a motion to the Court to approve a settlement between Kellogg and the class. During 2019, the Company concluded that the contingency related to the unfavorable ruling was probable and estimable, resulting in a liability being recorded. In February 2020, the Court denied plaintiff’s motion to approve the settlement and the parties are continuing arbitration. This litigation, including any potential settlement, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes as the litigation continues.

The Company has established accruals for certain matters where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. There are other claims and legal proceedings pending against the Company for which accruals have not been established. It is reasonably possible that some of these matters could result in an unfavorable judgment against the Company and could require payment of claims in amounts that cannot be estimated at April 3, 2021. Based upon current information, management does not expect any of the claims or legal proceedings pending against the Company to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Business overview

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand Kellogg Company, our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in Item 1 of this report. Our MD&A references consumption and net sales in discussing our sales trends for certain categories and brands. We record net sales upon delivery of shipments to our customers. Consumption and share data noted within is based on Nielsen x-AOC or other comparable source, for the applicable period. Consumption refers to consumer purchases of our products from our customers. Unless otherwise noted, consumption and shipment trends are materially consistent.

For more than 115 years, consumers have counted on Kellogg for great-tasting, high-quality and nutritious foods. ~~These~~Currently, these foods include snacks, such as crackers, savory snacks, toaster pastries, cereal bars and bites; and convenience foods, such as, ready-to-eat cereals, frozen waffles, veggie foods and noodles. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally.

~~COVID-19 Response~~War in Ukraine

~~As over~~The war in Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed have increased global economic and geopolitical uncertainty. In March 2022, we suspended all new investments and shipments of all products to Russia. We have no employees or direct operations in Ukraine. Our business in Russia consists of three manufacturing facilities and represented less than 1.5% of consolidated net sales and approximately 1% of consolidated operating profit for the year ended January 1, 2022. The net book value of assets related to our Russia business represents less than 0.5% of total assets as of April 2, 2022.

Impacts of the war to our net sales, earnings, and cash flows could extend beyond our business in Russia. Regional or global economic recessions, inflation, and supply chain challenges as a result of the war or further escalation could have a material impact on our results. Refer to Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ~~has passed since~~ended January 1, 2022.

COVID-19

Since the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic in March 2020, our key objectives continue to be 1) protecting the health and safety of our employees, 2) safely producing and delivering our foods to customers and consumers, and 3) supporting the communities in which we operate. Our efforts have been led by the Company’s Executive Committee, a committee composed of senior leaders, and our global Crisis Management Process. As part of that process, we have worked closely with medical, regulatory and other experts as we deliver on our objectives.

~~Employee health and safety~~

The health and safety of our employees is our top priority. From the outset of the pandemic, the Company has designed and implemented a number of actions across the business including restricting travel and visitors to its facilities, prohibiting external group meetings and establishing quarantine procedures for any potentially exposed employees. At this time, most of our office employees continue to work remotely to minimize the exposure of our employees to COVID-19.For those who are not able to work remotely, the Company implemented new protocols at all of our facilities to protect our employees, including temperature checks, social distancing, response plans, face coverings, contact tracing, enhanced sanitation procedures, and additional personal protection equipment

~~Maintain our ability to produce and deliver essential food supply~~

In addition to our efforts to keep our people safe, the Company has taken several actions to ensure that we maintain our ability to operate effectively during this pandemic, providing our foods to our customers and consumers.~~While to date we have experienced limited disruption in the operation of our facilities, we continue to take the appropriate actions to ensure the continuity of our business.~~We are working proactively with our suppliers to maintain our supply of raw materials and packaging during this time of increased demand for our products. We have secured access to contracted labor forces. We have made incremental investments in our workforce, additional warehouse capacity and increased access to transportation so that our products are delivered in a timely manner to our customers.In conjunction with our management of production capacity, we have simplified our operations (as well as our customers' operations) by prioritizing our offerings to increase the supply of our most demanded products, as well as delayed certain innovation launches and commercial activities.~~At the same time, the Company reinforced food safety practices across our manufacturing network.~~

We have partnered with our strategic technology providers in order to maintain support for our critical business and finance systems as well as additional network bandwidth and support for the transition to a work-from-home environment.~~We have worked to mitigate system-related risks in this environment through heightened monitoring of cybersecurity and network capacity as well as reevaluation of contingency plans.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Community support~~

Kellogg is a company with a heart and soul, and we are working together across our company to help our food bank partners and neighbors in need. Kellogg and our charitable funds have donated cash and food to global COVID-19 hunger relief efforts. ~~As always, through our global Kellogg’s~~® Better Days purpose platform, we help deliver critical nourishment to people when they need it most. Local governments have identified food security as a top priority in their fight against COVID-19. With school and business closures and “shelter-at-home” mandates, Kellogg is providing support to our food bank partners on the front-lines, helping those who may not know where their next meal is coming from.

~~Monitoring future impacts~~

The severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic is ~~uncertain and rapidly changing.~~ uncertain.The Company continues to actively monitor the pandemic ~~including, infection~~ and ~~hospitalization rates, vaccination efforts, and related governmental actions such as expanded or reduced stay-at home orders and social distancing guidelines. We~~ will adjust our mitigation strategies as necessary to address any changing health, operational or financial risks that may arise. ~~Beginning in March 2020,~~Since the onset of the pandemic, the Company has experienced a significant increase in demand for ~~our retail products as consumers stocked up on~~ food for at-home ~~consumption in those markets.~~ consumption.While this demand has moderated for certain products, we will continue to manage our production capacity during this period of volatility.We continue to monitor the business for adverse impacts of the pandemic, including volatility in the foreign exchange markets, reduced demand in our away from home businesses, supply-chain disruptions in certain markets, increased costs of ~~employee safety and~~ maintaining food supply, and potential disruptions for certain emerging market countries. In the event the Company experiences adverse impacts from the above or other factors, the Company would also evaluate the need to perform interim impairment tests ~~for~~of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite lived intangible assets, investments in unconsolidated affiliates and property, plant and equipment.There can be no assurance that volatility and/or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all. See further discussion within Future Outlook.

Inflationary pressures

Events such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have resulted in certain impacts to the global economy, including market disruptions, supply chain challenges, and inflationary pressures. During the quarter ended April 2, 2022 we continued to experience elevated commodity and supply chain costs, including logistics, procurement, and manufacturing costs. We expect these market disruptions and inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2022.

Segments

We manage our operations through four operating segments that are based primarily on geographic location – North America which includes the U.S. businesses and Canada; Europe which consists principally of European countries; Latin America which consists of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and AMEA (Asia Middle East Africa) which consists of Africa, Middle East, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets. These operating segments also represent our reportable segments.

Non-GAAP financial measures

This filing includes non-GAAP financial measures that we provide to management and investors that exclude certain items that we do not consider part of on-going operations. Items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are discussed in the "Significant items impacting comparability" section of this filing. Our management team consistently utilizes a combination of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business results, to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions, including incentive compensation. As a result, we believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team and improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and in their analysis of ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures used for evaluation of performance include currency-neutral and organic net sales, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted operating profit, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), currency-neutral adjusted gross profit, currency neutral adjusted gross margin, adjusted effective tax rate, net debt, and cash flow. We determine currency-neutral results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

•Currency-neutral net sales and organic net sales: We adjust the GAAP financial measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency, resulting in currency-neutral net sales. In addition, we exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency, ~~and differences in shipping days including the 53rd week,~~ resulting in organic net sales. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying net sales performance. By providing these non-GAAP net sales measures, management intends

~~Table of Contents~~

to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of net sales performance for the Company and each of our reportable segments for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives behind net sales growth, pricing realization, and the impact of mix on our business results. These non-GAAP measures are also used to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions.

•Adjusted: gross profit, gross margin, operating profit and diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), ~~commodities~~commodity contracts, certain equity investments and certain foreign currency contracts, ~~multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities, gain/loss on the divestiture,~~ and other costs impacting comparability resulting in adjusted. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments.

•Adjusted effective income tax rate: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), ~~commodities~~commodity contracts, certain equity investments and certain foreign currency contracts, ~~multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities, gain/loss on the divestiture,~~ and other costs impacting comparability. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our pre-tax income and the related tax effect of those items on our adjusted effective income tax rate, and other impacts to tax expense, including ~~U.S. Tax reform.~~tax reform in the UK and certain foreign valuation allowances. By providing this non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of the items noted above, for the periods presented. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to monitor the effectiveness of initiatives in place to optimize our global tax rate.

•Net debt: Defined as the sum of long-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable,

less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. With respect to net debt, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are subtracted from the GAAP measure, total debt liabilities, because they could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. Company management and investors use this non-GAAP measure to evaluate changes to the Company's capital structure and credit quality assessment.

•Cash flow: Defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. Cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases once all of the Company’s business needs and obligations are met. Additionally, certain performance-based compensation includes a component of this non-GAAP measure.

These measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP reporting measures.

Mark-to-market ~~accounting for pension plans, commodities and certain foreign currency contracts~~

We recognize mark-to-market adjustments for pension and postretirement benefit plans, commodity contracts, and certain foreign currency contracts as incurred. Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur. Mark-to-market gains/losses for certain equity investments are recorded based on observable price changes. Changes between contract and market prices for ~~commodities~~commodity contracts and certain foreign currency contracts result in gains/losses that are recognized in the quarter they occur. We recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit of $68 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2022. Included within the aforementioned was a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit for pension plans of $21 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2022. Additionally, we recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market expense of $9 million forfor the quarter ended April 3, 2021.

We also recorded pre-tax charges of $6$7 million for the quarter ended ~~March 28, 2020.~~April 3, 2021.

Foreign currency translation

We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis. We determine currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.

Financial results

For the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, our reported net sales increased ~~5.1%~~2.4% versus the prior year as ~~elevated demand for packaged foods consumed at home more than offset continuing weakness in away-from-home channels and on-the-go occasions.~~a result of favorable price/mix across all regions despite unfavorable foreign currency. Organic net sales increased 4.2% from the prior year ~~after~~ excluding ~~the impact of~~ foreign currency.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. Certain of our assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily in the euro, British pound, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Brazilian Real, Nigerian Naira, and Russian ruble. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against these other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. This could have significant impact on our results if such increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar is substantial.

Interest expense

For the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, ~~and March 28, 2020,~~ interest expense was ~~$59~~$56 million and ~~$64~~$59 million, respectively. The decrease from the prior year is due primarily to lower average outstanding debt compared to the prior year ~~quarter~~ as a result of the debt ~~redemptions~~redemption in ~~December 2020.~~May 2021.

Income Taxes

Our reported effective tax rate for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 was 21% and ~~March 28, 2020 was~~ 23% ~~and 21%~~, respectively.

The adjusted effective tax rate for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 was 20% and 23%, respectively.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could impact the expected effective income tax rate as it is dependent upon U.S. dollar earnings of foreign subsidiaries doing business in various countries with differing statutory rates. Additionally, the rate could be impacted by tax legislation and if pending uncertain tax matters, including tax positions that could be affected by planning initiatives, are resolved more or less favorably than we currently expect.

Liquidity and capital resources

At this time, the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially impacted our liquidity and we anticipate current cash and marketable security balances, operating cash flows, together with our credit facilities and other financing sources including commercial paper, credit and bond markets, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs. We expect cash provided by operating activities of ~~$1.6-~~$1.7-$~~1.7~~1.8 billion and capital expenditures of approximately ~~$500~~$600 million in ~~2021.~~2022. We currently have $2.5 billion of unused revolving credit agreements, including $1.5 billion effective through ~~2023~~2026 and $1.0 billion effective through ~~January~~December 2022, as well as continued access to the commercial paper markets. We are currently in compliance with all debt covenants and do not have material uncertainty about our ability to maintain compliance in future periods. We continue to utilize available capacity within the Monetization Programs to maintain financial flexibility without negatively impacting working capital.

As the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. There can be no assurance that volatility and/or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows supplemented by borrowings for major acquisitions and other significant transactions. Our cash-generating capability is one of our fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs.

We have historically reported negative working capital primarily as the result of our focus to improve core working capital by reducing our levels of trade receivables and inventory while extending the timing of payment of our trade payables. The impacts of the extended customer terms program and the monetization programs on core working capital are largely offsetting. These programs are all part of our ongoing working capital management.

We periodically monitor our supplier payment terms to assess whether our terms are competitive and in line with local market terms. To the extent that such assessment indicates that our supplier payment terms are not aligned with local market terms, we may seek to adjust our terms, including extending or shortening our payment due dates as appropriate. Supplier payment term modifications did not have a material impact on our cash flows during ~~2020,~~2021, and are not expected to have a material impact in ~~2021.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

2022.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness which results in current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable which can have a significant impact on working capital as a result of the timing of these required payments.

Table of Contents

These factors, coupled with the use of our ongoing cash flows from operations to service our debt obligations, pay dividends, fund acquisition opportunities, and repurchase our common stock, reduce our working capital amounts. We had negative working capital of ~~$1.7~~$2.0 billion and ~~$1.3~~$1.9 billion as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 and ~~March 28, 2020,~~January 1, 2022, respectively.

Operating activities

The principal source of our operating cash flow is net earnings, meaning cash receipts from the sale of our products, net of costs to manufacture, distribute, and market our products.

Net cash provided by our operating activities for the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, totaled ~~$235~~$327 million compared to ~~$391~~$235 million in the prior year period. The ~~decrease~~increase is due primarily to changes in incentive compensation and other accruals ~~during~~compared to the ~~quarter as well as the timing of interest payments on long-term debt.~~prior year quarter.

Our cash conversion cycle (defined as days of inventory and trade receivables outstanding less days of trade payables outstanding, based on a trailing 12 month average), was approximately negative 1210 days and negative 712 days for the 12 month periods ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, ~~and March 28, 2020,~~ respectively. The improvement from the prior year is due primarily to improvement in the number of days of trade payables outstanding which results from an increase in capital spending in accounts payable and other working capital initiatives.

We measure cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases. Our cash flow metric is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure, as follows:


		Quarter ended					Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	(millions)	April 3, 2021		March 28, 2020		(millions)	April 2, 2022		April 3, 2021

Our non-GAAP measure for cash flow ~~declined~~increased to ~~$62~~$189 million in the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, from ~~$279~~$62 million in the prior year ~~period~~ due primarily to ~~higher~~lower capital expenditures and changes in incentive compensation and other ~~accruals during the quarter.~~accruals.

Investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities totaled ~~$189~~$112 million for the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 compared to ~~$202~~$189 million in the comparable prior year ~~period. The impact of cash outflow from the purchase of securities in the prior year quarter was mostly offset by higher~~period due primarily to lower capital ~~expenditures during the current quarter.~~expenditures.

Financing activities

Our net cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 totaled ~~$95~~$171 million compared to cash ~~provided~~used of ~~$477~~$95 million during the comparable prior year period. The year-over-year variance was driven by ~~lower cash inflows from the issuance of notes payable and~~ the repurchase of ~~$240~~$300 million of our common stock during the current ~~year.~~year versus $240 million in the prior year quarter.

In February 2020, the board of directors approved an authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock through December 2022. The authorization is intended to allow us to repurchase shares for general corporate purposes and to offset issuances for employee benefit programs. Total purchases for the quarter ended April 2, 2022, were 5 million shares for $300 million. Total purchases for the quarter ended April 3, 2021, were 4 million shares for $240 million. ~~The Company did not purchase shares in the quarter ended March 28, 2020.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

We paid cash dividends of ~~$195~~$197 million in the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, compared to $195 million during the comparable prior year period. In April ~~2021,~~2022, the board of directors declared a dividend of $.58 per common share, ~~an increase from $.57 per common share,~~ payable on June 15, ~~2021~~2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 1, ~~2021.~~2022.

We ~~entered into an unsecured~~continue to maintain both a Five-Year ~~Credit Agreement in January 2018, allowing us to borrow, on~~and a ~~revolving credit basis, up to $1.5 billion and expiring in January 2023.~~

~~In January 2021, we entered into an unsecured~~ 364-Day Credit Agreement, ~~to borrow, on a revolving credit basis, up to $1.0 billion at any time outstanding, to replace the $1.0 billion 364-day facility that expired in January 2021.~~

~~The Five-Year and 364 Day Credit Agreements,~~ which had no outstanding borrowings as April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, contain customary covenants and warranties, including specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens and a specified interest expense coverage ratio. If an event of default occurs, then, to the extent permitted, the administrative agents may terminate the commitments under the credit facilities, accelerate any outstanding loans under the agreements, and demand the deposit of cash collateral equal to the lender's letter of credit exposure plus interest.

Our Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions and also contain a change of control provision. There are no significant restrictions on the payment of dividends. We were in compliance with all covenants as of April ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022.

The Notes do not contain acceleration of maturity clauses that are dependent on credit ratings. A change in our credit ratings could limit our access to the U.S. short-term debt market and/or increase the cost of refinancing long-term debt in the future. However, even under these circumstances, we would continue to have access to our 364-Day Credit Facility, which expires in ~~January~~December 2022, as well as our Five-Year Credit Agreement, which expires in ~~January 2023.~~December 2026. This source of liquidity is unused and available on an unsecured basis, although we do not currently plan to use it.

Monetization and Accounts Payable programs

We have a program in which customers could extend their payment terms in exchange for the elimination of early payment discounts (Extended Terms Program). In order to mitigate the net working capital impact of the Extended Terms Program for discrete customers, we entered into agreements to sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable balances to third party financial institutions (Monetization Programs). Transfers under the Monetization Programs are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Monetization Programs provide for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum funding from receivables that may be sold at any time is currently ~~$1,033 million,~~approximately $1.1 billion, but may be increased or decreased as customers move in or out of the Extended Terms Program and as additional financial institutions move in or out of the Monetization Programs. Accounts receivable sold of ~~$785~~$468 million and ~~$783~~$549 million remained outstanding under this arrangement as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 and January ~~2, 2021,~~1, 2022, respectively.

The Monetization Programs are designed to directly offset the impact the Extended Terms Program would have on the days-sales-outstanding (DSO) metric that is critical to the effective management of the Company's accounts receivable balance and overall working capital. Current DSO levels within North America are consistent with DSO levels prior to the execution of the Extended Term Program and Monetization Programs.

Refer to Note 2 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the sale of accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

as appropriate, however, we do not expect supplier payment term modifications to have a material impact on our cash flows during ~~2021.~~2022.

We have agreements with third parties (Accounts Payable Program) to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitate participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell our payment obligations to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more

~~Table of Contents~~

of our payment obligations prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. Our goal is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, and the agreements facilitate the suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under the arrangements. However, our right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers.

Refer to Note 1 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to accounts payable.

If financial institutions were to terminate their participation in the Monetization Programs and we are not able to modify related customer payment terms, working capital could be negatively impacted. Additionally, working capital could be negatively impacted if we shorten our supplier payment terms as a result of supplier negotiations. For suppliers participating in the Accounts Payable Programs, financial institutions may terminate their participation or we could experience a downgrade in our credit rating that could result in higher costs to suppliers. If working capital is negatively impacted as a result of these events and we were unable to secure alternative programs, we may have to utilize our various financing arrangements for short-term liquidity or increase our long-term borrowings.

Future outlook

Reflecting its first-quarter results, underlying trends, and changes in the operating environment, Kellogg Company ~~raised~~has updated its full-year ~~financial~~2022 guidance ~~on the strength of its first quarter results. Specifically, the Company's revised guidance for the full year is:~~as follows:

•Organic net sales growth is ~~now~~ expected to ~~finish 2021~~be approximately ~~flat, year on year, up~~ 4%,from ~~previous~~prior guidance of ~~a decline of~~ approximately ~~(1)%~~3%. This reflects momentum in its business, particularly snacks globally and noodles in Africa, as well as by higher price/mix growth required to cover incremental cost inflation in the economy.

•Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit growth ~~is now projected to decline approximately (1)-(2)% year on year, an improvement from previous guidance of a decline~~ of approximately ~~(2)%.~~1-2%, as the improved outlook for net sales offsets incremental pressures from accelerated cost inflation and business disruption, including impacts related to the war in Ukraine.

•Currency-neutral adjusted earnings per share ~~for the full year is now estimated~~ to increase by approximately ~~+1-2% year on year, an improvement from previous guidance +1%.~~1-2%, reflecting the unchanged operating profit outlook as well as offsetting impacts of lower other income and lower effective tax rate.

•Net cash provided by operating activities ~~is now expected to finish 2021 at~~of approximately ~~$1.6 - $1.7 billion, above the previous guidance range of $1.6~~$1.7-1.8 billion, with capital expenditure of ~~approximately $0.5~~about $0.6 billion. As a result, cash flow is ~~now~~ expected to ~~finish 2021 at $1.1 - $1.2~~be in the $1.1-1.2 billion ~~an increase from the previous guidance of approximately $1.1 billion.~~range.

Excluded from this guidance are any significant supply chain or other prolonged market disruptions related to the pandemic or global economy.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures

We are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of mark-to-market adjustments because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market conditions. Similarly, because of volatility in foreign exchange rates and shifts in country mix of our international earnings, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of foreign currency translation.

As a result, these impacts are not included in the guidance provided. Therefore, we are unable to provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures used in our guidance without unreasonable effort as certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company.

For example, forward-looking statements are found in this Item 1 and in several sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our actual results or activities may differ materially from these predictions.

Our future results could be affected by a variety of other factors, including uncertainty of the magnitude, duration, geographic reach, impact on the global economy and current and potential travel restrictions of the COVID-19 outbreak, the current, and uncertain future, impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business, growth, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results (including components of our financial results), and cash flows and liquidity, the ~~expected benefits and costs~~residual impact of the ~~divestiture of selected cookies, fruit and fruit flavored-snacks, pie crusts, and ice-cream cones businesses~~12-week labor strike at the Company's U.S. cereal plants, the impact of the Company, risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects,war in Ukraine including the potential for broader economic disruption, the ability to implement restructuring as planned, whether the expected amount of costs associated with restructuring will differ from forecasts, whether we will be able to realize the anticipated benefits from restructuring in the amounts and times expected, the ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from business acquisitions in the amounts and at the times expected, the impact of competitive conditions, the effectiveness of pricing, advertising, and promotional programs; the success of innovation, renovation and new product introductions; the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles, the success of productivity improvements and business transitions, commodity and energy prices, transportation costs, labor costs, disruptions or inefficiencies in supply chain, the availability of and interest rates on short-term and long-term financing, actual market performance of benefit plan trust investments, the levels of spending on systems initiatives, properties, business opportunities, integration of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative costs, changes in consumer behavior and preferences, the effect of U.S. and foreign economic conditions on items such as interest rates, statutory tax rates, currency conversion and availability, legal and regulatory factors including changes in food safety, advertising and labeling ~~laws and regulations, the ultimate~~

laws and regulations, the ultimate impact of product recalls; business disruption or other losses from war, terrorist acts or political unrest; and the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A below. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our Company is exposed to certain market risks, which exist as a part of our ongoing business operations. We use derivative financial and commodity instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Refer to Note 6 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative financial and commodity instruments.

Refer to disclosures contained within Item 7A of our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than changes noted here, there have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk as of April ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022.

Volatile market conditions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine may result in significant changes in foreign exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect our net sales and operating profit when translated to U.S. dollars. Primary exposures include the U.S. dollar versus the euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Nigerian naira, Russian ruble and Egyptian pound, and in the case of inter-subsidiary transactions, the British pound versus the euro. There is significant uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine on financial markets and we will continue to monitor the business for adverse impacts related to the pandemic. Our business in Russia represented less than 1.5% of consolidated net sales and approximately 1% of consolidated operating profit for the year ended January 1, 2022. The net book value of assets related to our Russia business represents less than 0.5% of total assets as of April 2, 2022. As such, our exposure to volatility in the exchange rate of the Russian ruble is unlikely to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The impact of possible currency devaluation in countries experiencing high inflation rates or significant exchange fluctuations, including Turkey, can impact our results and financial guidance. Effective April 3, 2022, we will account for Turkey as a highly inflationary economy, as the projected three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. Accordingly, our Turkey subsidiary will use the U.S. dollar as its functional currency and changes in the value of the Turkish Lira versus the U.S. dollar applied to our Lira-denominated net monetary asset position will be recorded in income at the time of the change. Net monetary assets denominated in Turkish Lira are not material as of April 2, 2022.

During the quarter ended April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, we ~~entered into~~terminated U.S. Dollar forward starting interest rate ~~contracts~~swaps and treasury locks with notional amounts totaling approximately ~~$450~~$700 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $49 million. ~~The~~These forward starting interest rate ~~contracts are designated~~swaps and treasury locks were accounted for as ~~fair value~~cash flow hedges and the related gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of ~~certain~~the forecasted fixed rate U.S. Dollar debt, once issued. During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, we also entered into U.S.forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks with notional amounts totaling approximately $700 million, as hedges against interest rate volatility associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed rate U.S. Dollar debt. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.

During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, we terminated Euro forward starting interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately €250 million, resulting in a gain of $33 million. These forward starting interest rate swaps were accounted for as cash flow hedges and the related gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the forecasted fixed rate Euro debt, once issued. During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, we also entered into Euro forward starting interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately €250 million, as hedges against interest rate volatility associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed rate Euro debt. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.

We have interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling ~~$3.0~~$2.8 billion representing a net settlement ~~receivable~~obligation of ~~$118~~$40 million as of April ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022. We had interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling ~~$2.6~~$2.8 billion representing a net settlement receivable of ~~$46~~$4 million as of January ~~2, 2021.~~1, 2022.

During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, we settled cross currency swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately €565 million, resulting in a gain of $37 million. These cross currency swaps were accounted for as net investment hedges and the related gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, we also entered into cross currency swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately €965 million, as hedges against foreign currency volatility associated with our net investment in our

Table of Contents

wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. These swaps were designated as net investment hedges. We have cross currency swaps with notional amounts totaling ~~$1.4~~$1.7 billion outstanding as of April ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 representing a net settlement receivable of ~~$24~~$34 million. The total notional amount of cross currency swaps outstanding as of January ~~2, 2021~~1, 2022 was ~~$1.4~~$1.3 billion representing a net settlement ~~obligation~~receivable of $4$38 million.

Our company is exposed to price fluctuations primarily as a result of anticipated purchases of raw and packaging materials, fuel, and energy. Primary exposures include corn, wheat, potato flakes, soybean oil, sugar, cocoa, cartonboard, natural gas, and diesel fuel. We have historically used the combination of long-term contracts with suppliers, and exchange-traded futures and option contracts to reduce price fluctuations in a desired percentage of forecasted raw material purchases over a duration of generally less than 18 months.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of April ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes during the quarter ended April 2, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January ~~2, 2021.~~1, 2022. The risk factors disclosed under those Reports in addition to the other information set forth in this Report, could materially affect our business, financial condition, or results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we deem to be immaterial could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In February 2020, the board of directors approved an authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock through December 2022.
