Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $0.74, edging past the $0.71 consensus estimate by 4.23%, but revenue slipped 3.4% year-over-year to $4.56 billion as deliberate investments in consumer value and brand building compressed margins sharply, with adjusted operating profit margin contracting 330 basis points to 13.7%. The heaviest drag came from North America Retail, where net sales fell 10% to $2.56 billion, though the segment held or gained pound share in 64% of its top 10 U.S. Categories, offering early evidence that the spending is gaining traction. North America Pet provided a rare bright spot, with net sales jumping 12% to $675.20 million. The pain is expected to persist into fiscal 2026, with General Mills guiding for adjusted diluted EPS to decline 10-15% in constant currency as it accelerates investment, including a national Blue Buffalo fresh pet food launch, while a global transformation initiative targets $100 million in incremental cost savings.

Key Takeaways

  • Investments in consumer value and product news drove improved volume trends in Q4
  • North America Pet segment outpaced all-channel retail sales by approximately 3 points due to retailer inventory buildup
  • International segment led by strong growth in Brazil and distributor markets
  • Holistic Margin Management (HMM) cost savings partially offset input cost inflation
  • Unfavorable trade expense timing was a 2-point headwind to Q4 organic net sales and 13-point headwind to operating profit growth
  • Higher input costs and unfavorable net price realization and mix pressured gross margins

“The investments we made in the second half of fiscal 2025 to bring consumers more value worked as we expected, driving improved volume and pound share trends in the fourth quarter. Our Q4 financial results reflected these incremental investments and finished in line with our updated expectations.”
