General Mills Reports Better Than Expected Q1 Earnings Results

General Mills (NYSE:GIS) reported a decline in adjusted earnings for the first quarter, but it still exceeded expectations. This achievement can be attributed to the stabilization of supply chains and the resilience of consumers in the face of inflationary pressures.

In the first quarter, General Mills reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.09, surpassing the analyst estimate of $1.08. The company's revenue for the quarter reached $4.9 billion, slightly ahead of the Street estimate of $4.89 billion.

Furthermore, General Mills has reaffirmed its outlook for the fiscal year 2024, expressing confidence in driving organic net sales growth through robust marketing, innovation, in-store support, and effective pricing strategies. The company also expects a moderation in the rate of input cost inflation, along with a reduction in disruptions within its supply chains.

General Mills anticipates organic net sales growth of 3 to 4 percent and projects a 4 to 6 percent increase in both adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS in constant currency.
