General Mills Reports Fiscal 2026 Second-quarter Results and Reaffirms Full-year Outlook

Key Terms

organic net sales financial

Organic net sales represent the revenue generated from a company's core business activities, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestments, or currency changes. It shows how well the company is growing through its existing products and services, similar to tracking how a plant grows from its own roots rather than by adding new plants. Investors use this measure to assess the true growth and health of a company's ongoing operations.

adjusted operating profit financial

Adjusted operating profit is a measure of a company’s routine profit from its core business activities after removing one‑time events, unusual costs or non‑cash items so the result reflects ongoing operations. Think of it like judging a car’s normal fuel efficiency after ignoring a single visit to the body shop; investors use it to compare underlying profitability across periods or peers and to judge whether the business is sustainably earning money, but the specific exclusions can be subjective.

adjusted diluted EPS financial

Adjusted diluted EPS is a company’s profit per share after adding back or removing one-time items (like restructuring costs or gains) and dividing by the number of shares including potential shares from options and convertible securities. Investors use it as a cleaner view of ongoing earnings—like looking at a car’s regular fuel efficiency rather than a trip boosted by downhill coasting—to judge underlying performance and compare companies without temporary distortions.

basis points financial

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

mark-to-market financial

"Mark-to-market" is a method of valuing assets or investments based on their current market price, rather than their original cost or value. It helps investors see the most up-to-date worth of their holdings, much like checking the latest price of a stock before deciding to buy or sell. This approach ensures that financial statements reflect real-time value, providing a clearer picture of overall financial health.

effective tax rate financial

The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

free cash flow conversion financial

Free cash flow conversion measures how effectively a company turns its reported profits into actual cash that can be used for growth, debt repayment, or dividends. It compares the cash generated after expenses to the company's net income, similar to how a person might compare their savings to their paycheck. High conversion indicates the company is efficient at translating profits into cash, which is important for investors assessing its financial health and flexibility.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- General Mills, Inc. (NYSE: GIS) today reported results for its second quarter ended November 23, 2025. Results for the quarter and six-month period included the previously expected impacts of investments to improve brand remarkability, the North American yogurt divestitures, and an unfavorable trade expense timing comparison from fiscal 2025.

“Our team continued to execute exceptionally well in a volatile operating environment, delivering results ahead of our expectations in the second quarter,” said General Mills Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Harmening. “Our investments in remarkability are working, helping restore organic volume growth in North America Retail this quarter and driving strong competitiveness across each of our segments. With improved momentum in the first half and confidence in our plans to drive further improvement in the rest of the year, we are reaffirming our full-year fiscal 2026 outlook.”

In fiscal 2026, General Mills is investing in its brands to restore volume-driven organic net sales growth, with initiatives that touch all elements of the Company’s Remarkable Experience Framework: product, packaging, brand communication, omnichannel execution, and consumer value. This includes strong innovation plans that are expected to generate a 25 percent increase in sales from new products in fiscal 2026. The investments in remarkability are initially driving improved pound growth and market share results. The Company expects to return to dollar growth after the initial price investment phase, as improved remarkability for consumers drives pound growth with favorable price/mix. The combination of these growth investments, divested earnings from the North American Yogurt divestitures, and normalization of corporate incentive expense is expected to be a headwind to operating profit and EPS in fiscal 2026, but position the Company for stronger, more sustainable, and more profitable growth over the long term.

Second Quarter Results Summary

• Net sales were down 7 percent to $4.9 billion, including a 6-point headwind from the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions. Organic net sales were down 1 percent, driven by unfavorable organic net price realization and mix.
• Gross margin was down 210 basis points to 34.8 percent of net sales, driven by higher input costs and unfavorable mark-to-market effects, partially offset by the favorable impact of net price realization and mix to gross margin, largely due to a product mix benefit from the North American Yogurt divestitures. Adjusted gross margin was down 150 basis points to 34.8 percent of net sales, driven by higher input costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of net price realization and mix to gross margin, including the product mix benefit from the yogurt divestitures.
• Operating profit of $728 million was down 32 percent, driven primarily by lower gross profit dollars and higher restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs. Operating profit margin of 15.0 percent was down 560 basis points. Adjusted operating profit of $848 million was down 20 percent in constant currency, driven by lower adjusted gross profit dollars. Adjusted operating profit margin was down 290 basis points to 17.4 percent.
• Net earnings attributable to General Mills of $413 million were down 48 percent and diluted EPS was down 45 percent to $0.78, driven primarily by lower operating profit, lower after-tax earnings from joint ventures, and a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by lower net shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.10 was down 21 percent in constant currency, driven primarily by lower adjusted operating profit and a higher adjusted effective tax rate, partially offset by lower net shares outstanding.

Six Month Results Summary

• Net sales of $9.4 billion were down 7 percent, including a 5-point headwind from the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions. Organic net sales were down 2 percent.
• Gross margin was down 150 basis points to 34.4 percent of net sales, driven by higher input costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of net price realization and mix to gross margin, including the product mix benefit from the yogurt divestitures. Adjusted gross margin was down 140 basis points to 34.5 percent of net sales.
• Operating profit of $2.45 billion was up 29 percent, driven primarily by a $1.05 billion gain on divestitures, partially offset by lower gross profit dollars and higher restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs. Operating profit margin of 26.2 percent was up 730 basis points. Adjusted operating profit of $1.6 billion was down 19 percent in constant currency, driven by lower adjusted gross profit dollars. Adjusted operating profit margin was down 250 basis points to 16.6 percent.
• Net earnings attributable to General Mills of $1.6 billion were up 18 percent and diluted EPS was up 22 percent to $3.00, driven primarily by higher operating profit and lower net shares outstanding, partially offset by lower after-tax earnings from joint ventures and a higher effective tax rate. Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.96 was down 21 percent in constant currency, driven primarily by lower adjusted operating profit and a higher adjusted effective tax rate, partially offset by lower net shares outstanding.

Operating Segment Results

• The following transactions impacted the comparability of year-to-date financial results between fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026: the divestiture of the U.S. Yogurt business in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the divestiture of the Canada Yogurt business in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and the acquisition of the North American Whitebridge Pet Brands business in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
• Tables may not foot due to rounding.

North America Retail Segment

Second-quarter net sales for General Mills’ North America Retail segment were down 13 percent to $2.9 billion, including a 10-point headwind from the North American Yogurt divestitures. Net sales were down double digits for the Big G Cereal & Canada operating unit, down mid-single digits for U.S. Snacks, and down low-single digits for U.S. Meals & Baking Solutions. Organic net sales were down 3 percent. Increased consumer value, innovation, and product news drove strong pound competitiveness in the quarter, with the segment holding or gaining pound share in 8 of its top 10 U.S. categories. Retail sales growth and market share in pounds were stronger than in dollars in the quarter, as expected, due to investments to address key price cliffs and price gaps in selected categories. Segment operating profit of $682 million was down 21 percent as reported and in constant currency, due primarily to lower volume, including the impact of the yogurt divestitures.

Through six months, North America Retail segment net sales were down 13 percent to $5.5 billion, including a 9-point headwind from divestitures. Organic net sales were down 4 percent. Segment operating profit of $1.2 billion was down 22 percent as reported and in constant currency, driven primarily by lower volume, including the impact of the yogurt divestitures.

North America Pet Segment

Second-quarter net sales for the North America Pet segment were up 11 percent to $660 million, including a 10-point benefit from the North American Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition. Net sales were up double digits for both cat food and pet treats, and were down low-single digits for dog food. Organic net sales were up 1 percent. The segment generated all-channel retail sales growth of approximately 1 percent and held share in the quarter. Segment operating profit of $123 million was down 12 percent, driven by higher input costs and higher selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, including investments to support the launch of Love Made Fresh, partially offset by favorable net price realization and mix and higher volume.

Through six months, North America Pet segment net sales were up 8 percent to $1.3 billion, including a 10-point benefit from the North American Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition. Organic net sales were down 2 percent. Segment operating profit was down 9 percent to $236 million, driven by higher input costs and higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by favorable net price realization and mix and higher volume.

North America Foodservice Segment

Second-quarter net sales for the North America Foodservice segment were down 8 percent to $582 million, including a 7-point headwind from the yogurt divestitures. Organic net sales essentially matched year-ago levels, with growth in frozen baked goods, cereal, and frozen meals offset by a decline in bakery flour, including a 3-point headwind from index pricing. The segment delivered another quarter of strong competitiveness, holding or gaining share in 88 percent of its priority businesses. Segment operating profit was down 12 percent to $105 million, driven by the headwind from the yogurt divestitures, partially offset by growth on the remaining business.

Through six months, North America Foodservice net sales were down 6 percent to $1.1 billion, including a 6-point headwind from the yogurt divestitures. Organic net sales essentially matched year-ago levels. Segment operating profit was down 8 percent to $175 million, reflecting the headwind from the yogurt divestitures, partially offset by growth on the remaining business.

International Segment

Second-quarter net sales for the International segment increased 6 percent to $729 million, including a 2-point benefit from foreign currency exchange. Organic net sales were up 4 percent, driven by growth in Brazil, China, India, and North Asia. The segment maintained its strong competitive performance, holding or gaining share in 54 percent of its priority businesses. Segment operating profit of $28 million was up 19 percent as reported and up 30 percent in constant currency, driven primarily by favorable net price realization and mix and higher volume, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Through six months, International net sales were up 6 percent to $1.5 billion, including a 2-point benefit from foreign currency exchange. Organic net sales were up 4 percent. Segment operating profit more than doubled to $94 million, driven primarily by favorable net price realization and mix, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

Joint Venture Summary

Second-quarter constant-currency net sales were down 1 percent for Cereal Partners Worldwide (CPW) and essentially matched year-ago levels for Häagen-Dazs Japan (HDJ). Combined after-tax loss from joint ventures totaled $60 million in the quarter, compared to after-tax earnings of $30 million in the prior year, driven by the Company’s $85 million pre-tax share of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the CPW Australia market.

Other Income Statement Items

Second-quarter unallocated corporate items totaled $88 million net expense in fiscal 2026 compared to $65 million net expense a year ago (please see Note 4 below for more information on these expenses). Excluding mark-to-market valuation effects and other items affecting comparability, unallocated corporate items totaled $91 million net expense this year compared to $80 million net expense a year ago.

Restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs totaled $122 million in the second quarter compared to $1 million a year ago (please see Note 3 below for more information on these charges).

Net interest expense totaled $126 million in the second quarter compared to $125 million a year ago. The effective tax rate in the quarter was 23.3 percent compared to 20.1 percent last year (please see Note 6 below for more information on our effective tax rate). The second-quarter adjusted effective tax rate was 23.3 percent compared to 20.1 percent a year ago, driven primarily by unfavorable earnings mix by jurisdiction in fiscal 2026 and certain non-recurring discrete tax benefits in fiscal 2025.

Cash Flow Generation and Cash Returns

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.2 billion through six months of fiscal 2026 compared to $1.8 billion a year ago, driven primarily by lower net earnings excluding the pre-tax gain on divestitures, partially offset by the change in after-tax joint venture earnings and the change in restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs. Capital investments totaled $253 million compared to $301 million a year ago. Dividends paid totaled $659 million compared to $676 million a year ago. The Company’s share repurchase activity through six months of fiscal 2026 totaled $500 million compared to $600 million in share repurchases a year ago. Average diluted shares outstanding in the first half decreased 4 percent to 540 million.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

General Mills’ top priority in fiscal 2026 is to restore volume-driven organic net sales growth. The Company expects category growth to be below its long-term projections, reflecting less benefit from price/mix amid a continued challenging consumer backdrop. To strengthen its categories and market share performance, the Company is increasing investment in consumer value, product news, innovation, and brand building, guided by its Remarkable Experience Framework. This includes a significant strategic investment to launch Blue Buffalo into the fast-growing U.S. fresh pet food sub-category. The Company expects the combination of these growth investments, input cost inflation (including the impact of tariffs), and normalization of corporate incentive expense will outpace its expectation for Holistic Margin Management cost savings of 5 percent of cost of goods sold, $100 million in global transformation and other efficiency savings, and benefits from a 53rd week in fiscal 2026. Additionally, the Company expects the net impact of the North American Yogurt divestitures and the North American Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition will reduce adjusted operating profit growth by approximately 5 points in fiscal 2026.

Based on the above assumptions, the Company reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2026 financial targets²:

• Organic net sales are expected to range between down 1 percent and up 1 percent.
• Adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS are both expected to be down 10 to 15 percent in constant currency.
• Free cash flow conversion is expected to be at least 95 percent of adjusted after-tax earnings.
• The net impact of divestitures, acquisitions, foreign currency exchange, and the 53rd week is expected to reduce full-year net sales growth by approximately 4 percent. Foreign currency exchange is not expected to have a material impact on adjusted operating profit or adjusted diluted EPS growth.

² Financial targets are provided on a non-GAAP basis because certain information necessary to calculate comparable GAAP measures is not available. Please see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements below for discussion of the unavailable information.

GENERAL MILLS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1)		The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of General Mills, Inc. (we, us, our, General Mills, or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for annual and interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature.
(2)		During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we completed the sale of our United States yogurt business to Groupe Lactalis S.A. and recorded a pre-tax gain of $1,046 million.
		During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed the sale of our Canada yogurt business to Sodiaal International and recorded a pre-tax gain of $96 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a sale price adjustment that resulted in an $8 million increase to the pre-tax gain.
		During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we acquired NX Pet Holding, Inc., representing Whitebridge Pet Brands’ North American premium cat feeding and pet treating business, for a purchase price of $1 billion (Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition). We financed the transaction with cash on hand and new debt. We consolidated Whitebridge Pet Brands into our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded goodwill of $1,087 million, an indefinite-lived intangible asset for the Tiki Pets brand totaling $289 million, and a finite-lived customer relationship asset of $31 million. The goodwill is included in the North America Pet segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma effects of this acquisition were not material. We have conducted a preliminary assessment of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities of the business and we are continuing our review of these items during the measurement period. If new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, the acquisition accounting will be revised to reflect the resulting adjustments to current estimates of those items. The consolidated results are reported in our North America Pet operating segment on a one-month lag. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded adjustments to certain purchase accounting liabilities upon finalization of income tax returns that resulted in a $32 million decrease to goodwill.
(3)		Restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges are recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings as follows:

	Quarter Ended						Six-Month Period Ended
In Millions	Nov. 23, 2025			Nov. 24, 2024			Nov. 23, 2025			Nov. 24, 2024
Restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs	$	122.1		$	1.2		$	138.4		$	3.4
Cost of sales		3.0			0.1			5.0			0.8
Total restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges	$	125.1		$	1.3		$	143.4		$	4.2

		In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a $53 million non-cash impairment charge related to our Uncle Toby’s brand intangible asset.
		In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we approved a multi-year organizational initiative to increase the competitiveness of our supply chain. We expect to incur approximately $82 million of restructuring charges, of which approximately $17 million will be cash. These charges are expected to consist of approximately $64 million of asset write-offs and $18 million of other costs, including severance. We recognized $45 million of asset write-offs, including $42 million of impairment, and $5 million of severance and other benefit costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The non-cash asset impairment charges to write down certain long-lived assets to their fair value were based on recently reported transactions for similar assets in the marketplace. We expect these actions to be completed by the end of fiscal 2029.
		We recorded $22 million of restructuring and transformation charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $40 million of restructuring and transformation charges in the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, related to actions previously announced. We recorded $1 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and $4 million of restructuring charges in the six-month period ended November 24, 2024, related to restructuring actions previously announced. We expect these actions to be completed by the end of fiscal 2028.
(4)		Unallocated corporate expense totaled $88 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $65 million in the same period in fiscal 2025. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a $4 million net decrease in expense related to the mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions and grain inventories, compared to a $29 million net decrease in expense in the same period last year. Certain compensation and benefit related expenses increased in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025. In addition, we recorded $3 million of restructuring charges in cost of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded $3 million of integration costs primarily related to the Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition, compared to $2 million of integration costs during the same period last year related to the acquisition of a pet food business in Europe. We recorded $7 million of net gains related to valuation adjustments on certain corporate investments in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $3 million of net losses in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition, we recorded $2 million of transaction costs related to the sale of our United States yogurt business in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $9 million of transaction costs related to the Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition and the divestitures of our North American yogurt businesses in the same period last year.
		Unallocated corporate expense totaled $214 million in the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, compared to $189 million in the same period in fiscal 2025. In the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, we recorded a $4 million net increase in expense related to the mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions and grain inventories, compared to a $1 million net decrease in expense in the same period last year. In addition, we recorded $14 million of transaction costs related to the sale of our United States yogurt business in the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, compared to $9 million of transaction costs related to the Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition and the divestitures of our North American yogurt businesses in the same period last year. We recorded $5 million of restructuring charges in cost of sales in the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, compared to $1 million of restructuring charges in cost of sales in the same period in fiscal 2025. Certain compensation and benefit related expenses increased in the six-month period ended November 23, 2025 compared to the same period of fiscal 2025. We recorded $7 million of net gains related to valuation adjustments on certain corporate investments in the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, compared to $4 million of net losses related to valuation adjustments of certain corporate investments in the same period in fiscal 2025.
(5)		Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were calculated as follows:

	Quarter Ended						Six-Month Period Ended
In Millions, Except per Share Data	Nov. 23, 2025			Nov. 24, 2024			Nov. 23, 2025			Nov. 24, 2024

Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.78		$	1.42		$	3.00		$	2.45
(a) Incremental shares from stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units are computed by the treasury stock method.

(6)		The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 23.3 percent compared to 20.1 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The 3.2 percentage point increase was primarily due to unfavorable earnings mix by jurisdiction in fiscal 2026 and certain nonrecurring discrete tax benefits in fiscal 2025. Our effective tax rate excluding certain items affecting comparability was 23.3 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 20.1 percent in the same period last year (see Note 7 below for a description of our use of measures not defined by GAAP). The 3.2 percentage point increase was primarily due to unfavorable earnings mix by jurisdiction in fiscal 2026 and certain nonrecurring discrete tax benefits in fiscal 2025.
		The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, was 24.9 percent compared to 20.9 percent in the same period last year. The 4.0 percentage point increase was primarily due to certain unfavorable tax components related to the sale of our United States yogurt business, unfavorable earnings mix by jurisdiction in fiscal 2026, and certain nonrecurring discrete tax benefits in fiscal 2025. Our effective tax rate excluding certain items affecting comparability was 23.7 percent in the six-month period ended November 23, 2025, compared to 20.9 percent in the same period last year  (see Note 7 below for a description of our use of measures not defined by GAAP). The 2.8 percentage point increase is primarily due to unfavorable earnings mix by jurisdiction in fiscal 2026 and certain nonrecurring discrete tax benefits in fiscal 2025.
(7)		We have included measures in this release that are not defined by GAAP. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors, and include these measures in other communications to investors. For each of these non-GAAP financial measures, we are providing below a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP measure and the most directly comparable GAAP measure, an explanation of why we believe the non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, and any additional material purposes for which our management or Board of Directors uses the non-GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the comparable GAAP measure.
		We provide organic net sales growth rates for our consolidated net sales and segment net sales. This measure is used in reporting to our Board of Directors and executive management and as a component of the Board of Directors’ measurement of our performance for incentive compensation purposes. We believe that organic net sales growth rates provide useful information to investors because they provide transparency to underlying performance in our net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, acquisitions, divestitures, and a 53rd fiscal week, when applicable, have on year-to-year comparability. A reconciliation of these measures to reported net sales growth rates, the relevant GAAP measures, are included in our Operating Segment Results above.
		Certain measures in this release are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange (constant-currency). To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are translated into United States dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year. Therefore, the foreign currency impact is equal to current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in the average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. We believe that these constant-currency measures provide useful information to investors because they provide transparency to underlying performance by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given volatility in foreign currency exchange markets.
		Our fiscal 2026 outlook for organic net sales growth, constant-currency adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS, and free cash flow conversion are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude, or have otherwise been adjusted for, items impacting comparability, including the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, restructuring and transformation charges, transaction and acquisition integration costs, acquisitions, divestitures, mark-to-market effects, and a 53rd week. We are not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices or the timing or impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and restructuring and transformation actions throughout fiscal 2026. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our fiscal 2026 GAAP financial results.
		For fiscal 2026, we currently expect: the net impact from foreign currency exchange rates (based on a blend of forward and forecasted rates and hedge positions), acquisitions and divestitures completed in fiscal 2025 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and a 53rd week to reduce net sales growth by approximately 4 percent; foreign currency exchange rates to have an immaterial impact on adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS growth; and restructuring and transformation charges and transaction and acquisition integration costs related to actions previously announced to total approximately $160 million to $165 million.

Significant Items Impacting Comparability

Several measures below are presented on an adjusted basis. The adjustments are either items resulting from infrequently occurring events or items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the year-to-year assessment of operating results.

The following are descriptions of significant items impacting comparability of our results.

Divestitures gain

Divestitures gain recorded in fiscal 2026 related to the sale of our United States yogurt business in fiscal 2026 and Canada yogurt business in fiscal 2025. Please see Note 2.

CPW asset impairments, transaction costs, and restructuring charges

CPW non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Australian market, and other asset impairment charges and transaction costs related to certain assets held for sale recorded in fiscal 2026. CPW restructuring charges related to previously announced restructuring actions in fiscal 2025.

Restructuring and transformation charges

Restructuring and transformation charges related to supply chain actions and previously announced actions recorded in fiscal 2026. Restructuring charges related to previously announced restructuring actions recorded in fiscal 2025. Please see Note 3.

Other intangible assets impairment

Non-cash impairment charge related to our Uncle Toby's brand intangible asset in fiscal 2026. Please see Note 3.

Transaction costs

Fiscal 2026 transaction costs related to the sale of our United States yogurt business. Fiscal 2025 transaction costs related to the Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition and the sale of our North American yogurt businesses. Please see Note 2.

Investment activity, net

Net mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions recognized in unallocated corporate items. Please see Note 4.

Acquisition integration costs

Integration costs related to the Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition in fiscal 2025 and the acquisition of a pet food business in Europe in fiscal 2024 recorded in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025. Please see Note 2.

Project-related costs

Restructuring initiative project-related costs related to previously announced restructuring actions recorded in fiscal 2025.

Adjusted Operating Profit Growth and Related Constant-currency Growth Rate

This measure is used in reporting to our Board of Directors and executive management and as a component of the measurement of our performance for incentive compensation purposes. We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it is the operating profit measure we use to evaluate operating profit performance on a comparable year-to-year basis. The measure is evaluated on a constant-currency basis by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on year-to-year comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. 

Our adjusted operating profit growth on a constant-currency basis is calculated as follows:

Adjusted Diluted EPS and Related Constant-currency Growth Rate

This measure is used in reporting to our Board of Directors and executive management. We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it is the profitability measure we use to evaluate earnings performance on a comparable year-to-year basis.

The reconciliation of our GAAP measure, diluted EPS, to adjusted diluted EPS and the related constant-currency growth rates follows:

	Quarter Ended											Six-Month Period Ended

Constant-currency Segment Operating Profit Growth Rates

We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance of our segments by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on year-to-year comparability given volatility in foreign currency exchange markets.

Our segments’ operating profit growth rates on a constant-currency basis are calculated as follows:

	Quarter Ended Nov. 23, 2025
	Percentage Change in Operating Profit as Reported			Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange		Percentage Change in Operating Profit on Constant-Currency Basis
