20.1 billion in 2023, including the unfavorable impacts of foreign currency (0.1 pp). Organic Net Sales decreased 2.8% to $19.6 billion in 2024 compared to $20.1 billion in 2023, primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix (4.2 pp), which more than offset higher pricing (1.4 pp). Higher pricing was primarily driven by increases to mitigate higher input costs. Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily due to shifts in consumer behavior due to economic uncertainty, a decline in Lunchables, and a temporary plant closure.

Segment Adjusted Operating Income increased 1.2% to $5.1 billion in 2024 compared to $5.1 billion in 2023, primarily driven by higher pricing, lower procurement and logistics costs due, in part, to the beneficial impact from our efficiency initiatives, and lower variable compensation expense. These favorable impacts to Segment Adjusted Operating Income were partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, increased manufacturing expenses due to increased labor cost, increased SG&A due, in part, to investments in technology, increased depreciation expense, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency (0.1 pp).

Fiscal Year 2023 Compared to Fiscal Year 2022:

Net sales decreased 1.0% to $20.1 billion in 2023 compared to $20.3 billion in 2022, including the decrease from lapping a 53rd week of shipments in the prior period (1.7 pp) and the unfavorable impacts of foreign currency (0.3 pp). Organic Net Sales increased 1.0% to $20.2 billion in 2023 compared to $20.0 billion in 2022, driven by higher pricing (7.5 pp), which more than offset unfavorable volume/mix (6.5 pp). Higher pricing was primarily driven by increases to mitigate higher input costs, particularly in the first half of 2023. Unfavorable volume/mix was primarily due to elasticity impacts from pricing actions and due, in part, to the reduction of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) benefits.

Segment Adjusted Operating Income increased 6.7% to $5.1 billion in 2023 compared to $4.7 billion in 2022, primarily due to higher pricing and the beneficial impact from our efficiency initiatives, which more than offset higher commodity costs, including the impact of realized gains and losses on commodity hedges; unfavorable volume/mix; increased manufacturing
