Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ) reported that its third-quarter adjusted EPS was flat to prior year on a constant-currency basis as the company’s strong operating performance was offset by dilution related to the recently created coffee joint venture as well as cycling an unusually low effective tax rate in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted net income to company was $678 million or $0.42 per share, for the quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report profit per share of $0.41. Analysts’ estimates typically exclude special items.
