Summary

The company reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $3.00-$3.20, signaling stability despite a 3% sales decline driven by the yogurt divestiture and lower volume. Price realization offset input costs to support margins. General Mills reported a $2.01B Q1 net loss and $3.74 GAAP loss per share, and authorized buybacks up to 100 million shares.
