    General Mills Reaffirms Full-Year Guidance on 14% International Profit Gain

    Question

    General Mills Reaffirms Full-Year Guidance on 14% International Profit Gain

    Direct answer

    General Mills reported fiscal Q1 2027 financial results showing net sales of $4.4 billion, a 3% decline year-over-year primarily driven by the divestiture of its yogurt business. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.75. Despite continuing volume contraction in the domestic U.S. retail segment, a 14% increase in international operating profit provided sufficient margin cushion for management to maintain full-year fiscal 2027 guidance.
