<p class="has-drop-cap">General Mills, Inc. (NYSE: GIS) has recently divulged its <a href="https://investors.generalmills.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2024/General-Mills-Reports-Fiscal-2024-Third-quarter-Results/default.aspx" target="_blank" aria-label="fiscal 2024 third-quarter results (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">fiscal 2024 third-quarter results</a>, reflecting a mixed bag of financial health. Amidst an increasingly challenging market landscape, this report provides a deep dive into the company’s quarterly performance, expectations analysis, and forward-looking guidance.</p>
<h3 id="general-mills-reports-1-drop-in-net-sales-clocking-in-at-5-1-billion">General Mills Reports 1% Drop in Net Sales, Clocking in at $5.1 Billion</h3>
<p>In the recently concluded quarter, General Mills reported a slight decrease in net sales, clocking in at $5.1 billion, a 1% drop compared to the previous year. <br><br>This marginal decline was attributed to a decrease in pound volume, somewhat counterbalanced by favorable net price realization and mix. On a brighter note, the company witnessed a significant uptick in its operating profit, which surged by 25% to reach $911 million, primarily driven by lower compensation and benefits expenses alongside higher gross profit dollars and product recall recoveries. <br><br>Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased by 27% to $1.17, bolstered by higher operating profit and lower net shares outstanding, albeit partially offset by a slight uptick in net interest expense and a higher effective tax rate.</p>
