| Sep 23, 2026 | mda_quarterly | General Mills’ net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 decreased 3 percent to $4,389.5 million, with organic net sales flat, reflecting the divestiture of the U.S. yogurt business. Operating profit fell 63 percent to $633.6 million, primarily due to lapping a $1,054.4 million divestiture gain in the prior year. Adjusted operating profit decreased 11 percent on a constant-currency basis to $634.0 million, driven by higher input costs and lower volumes, partially offset by favorable price realization. Diluted EPS fell 67 percent to $0.74, and adjusted diluted EPS declined 13 percent to $0.75. Segment net sales fell 7 percent in North America Retail to $2,451.8 million, rose 4 percent in International to $794.3 million, and remained flat in North America Pet at $612.8 million, where operating profit dropped 12 percent on inflation and volume declines. North America Foodservice net sales rose 1 percent to $523.1 million. General Mills completed the sale of its Brazil business to Café Três Corações S.A. on September 2, 2026, recording a $23.7 million valuation loss in the quarter. For fiscal 2027, the company expects 4 to 5 percent input cost inflation, offset by $750 million in Holistic Margin Management productivity savings. |
| Jul 1, 2026 | business | General Mills (GIS) is a global packaged foods company focused on brand-building and innovation across four segments: North America Retail, International, North America Pet, and North America Foodservice. The company’s portfolio includes diverse categories such as ready-to-eat cereals, snacks, meal kits, frozen dough, and pet food. Fiscal 2026 was a challenging year, characterized by a 5% decline in net sales to $18.4 billion and a 16% decrease in adjusted diluted EPS on a constant-currency basis. Performance was hindered by weak consumer sentiment, market volatility, and higher-than-anticipated costs for volume recovery. Notably, the company recorded significant non-cash impairment charges, including $1.5 billion related to North America Pet goodwill and $303 million for brand intangibles. To drive long-term growth, GIS is executing its "Accelerate" strategy, prioritizing core markets and "local gem" brands while reshaping its portfolio through strategic divestitures, such as its North American yogurt business. The company is aggressively pursuing a $3 billion cumulative cost-savings target through fiscal 2030, utilizing Holistic Margin Management (HMM) and global transformation initiatives to offset persistent input cost inflation. Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, management expects continued macroeconomic headwinds and has provided cautious guidance, projecting organic net sales to range from down 1.5% to up 0.5%. |
