CHICAGO—Mondelēz International said Thursday that third-quarter net revenue rose 2.3% and organic net revenue rose 2.1%, with adjusted earnings of 78 cents a share, according to the company's release.

The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented. No real person’s words are made up here. Each article ends with a factual “The Real Story” box and a “Riffing on” line linking the genuine reporting. Not investment advice. Not any kind of advice.
