Background [Abstract]
Background	(1) Background 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 (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature, including the elimination of all intercompany transactions. Operating results for the fiscal quarter ended August 24, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 25, 2025. The accounting policies used in preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in that Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications to our previously reported financial information have been made to conform to the current period presentation. Certain terms used throughout this report are defined in the “Glossary” section below.

Acquisitions And Divestitures [Abstract]
Acquisitions And Divestitures	(2) Acquisition and Divestitures 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 $ 1,046.5 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 $ 95.9 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a sale price adjustment that resulted in a $ 7.9 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 $ 1.4 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 $ 1,086.7 million, an indefinite-lived intangible asset for the Tiki Pets brand totaling $ 289.0 million, and a finite- lived customer relationship asset of $ 31.0 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.

Restructuring, Transformation, Impairment, And Other Exit Costs	(3) Restructuring, Transformation, Impairment, and Other Exit Costs In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we did not undertake any new restructuring or transformation actions. We recorded $ 18.3 million of restructuring and transformation charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and $ 2.9 million of restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to actions previously announced. We expect these actions to be completed by the end of fiscal 2028. We paid net $ 21.0 million of cash in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, related to restructuring and transformation actions. We paid net $ 2.7 million of cash in the same period of fiscal 2025. Restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges are recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs $ 16.3 $ 2.2 Cost of sales 2.0 0.7 Total restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges $ 18.3 $ 2.9 In Millions Total Reserve balance as of May 25, 2025 $ 77.1 Fiscal 2026 charges, including foreign currency translation 0.6 Utilized in fiscal 2026 (8.4) Reserve balance as of Aug. 24, 2025 $ 69.3 The roll forward of our restructuring, transformation, and other exit cost reserves, included in other current liabilities, is as follows: The restructuring, transformation, and other exit cost reserves balance as of August 24, 2025, is primarily related to severance costs. The charges recognized in the roll forward of our reserves for restructuring, transformation, and other exit costs do not include items charged directly to expense (e.g., asset impairment charges, the gain or loss on the sale of restructured assets, and the write-off of spare parts) and other periodic exit costs recognized as incurred, as those items are not reflected in our restructuring, transformation, and other exit cost reserves on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were as follows: The changes in the carrying amount of other intangible assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were as follows: Our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test was performed on the first day of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and we determined there was no impairment of our intangible assets as their related fair values were substantially in excess of the carrying values, except for the Uncle Toby’s brand intangible asset. In addition, while having significant coverage as of our fiscal 2025 assessment date, the Progresso , Nudges , True Chews , and Kitano brand intangible assets had risk of decreasing coverage. We will continue to monitor these businesses for potential impairment. (a) The carrying amounts of goodwill within the International segment as of May 25, 2025, and August 24, 2025, were net of accumulated impairment losses of $ 117.1 million. For additional information, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 25, 2025.

Risk Management Activities	3 Months Ended
Risk Management Activities	Aug. 24, 2025
Risk Management Activities [Abstract]
Risk Management Activities	(6) Risk Management Activities Many commodities we use in the production and distribution of our products are exposed to market price risks. We utilize derivatives to manage price risk for our principal ingredients and energy costs, including grains (oats, wheat, and corn), oils (principally soybean), dairy products, natural gas, and diesel fuel. Our primary objective when entering into these derivative contracts is to achieve certainty with regard to the future price of commodities purchased for use in our supply chain. We manage our exposures through a combination of purchase orders, long-term contracts with suppliers, exchange-traded futures and options, and over-the-counter options and swaps. We offset our exposures based on current and projected market conditions and generally seek to acquire the inputs at as close as possible to or below our planned cost. We use derivatives to manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices. We do not perform the assessments required to achieve hedge accounting for commodity derivative positions. Accordingly, the changes in the values of these derivatives are recorded in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Although we do not meet the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting, we believe that these instruments are effective in achieving our objective of providing certainty in the future price of commodities purchased for use in our supply chain. Accordingly, for purposes of measuring segment operating performance, these gains and losses are reported in unallocated corporate items outside of segment operating results until such time that the exposure we are managing affects earnings. At that time, we reclassify the gain or loss from unallocated corporate items to segment operating profit, allowing our operating segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility, which remains in unallocated corporate items. Unallocated corporate items for the quarters ended August 24, 2025, and August 25, 2024, included: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Net loss on mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions $ (0.5) $ (37.7) Net (gain) loss on commodity positions reclassified from unallocated corporate items to segment operating profit (1.4) 17.2 Net mark-to-market revaluation of certain grain inventories (6.6) (8.3) Net mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions recognized in unallocated corporate items $ (8.5) $ (28.8) As of August 24, 2025, the net notional value of commodity derivatives was $ 139.2 million, of which $ 70.3 million related to agricultural inputs and $ 68.9 million related to energy inputs. These contracts relate to inputs that generally will be utilized within the next 12 months. We also have net investments in foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in euros. As of August 24, 2025, we hedged a portion of these investments with € 4,743.7 million of euro-denominated bonds. The fair values of the derivative positions used in our risk management activities and other assets recorded at fair value were not material as of August 24, 2025, and were Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy. We did not significantly change our valuation techniques from prior periods. We offer certain suppliers access to third-party services that allow them to view our scheduled payments online. The third-party services also allow suppliers to finance advances on our scheduled payments at the sole discretion of the supplier and the third party. We have no economic interest in these financing arrangements and no direct relationship with the suppliers, the third parties, or any financial institutions concerning these services, including not providing any form of guarantee and not pledging assets as security to the third parties or financial institutions. All of our accounts payable remain as obligations to our suppliers as stated in our supplier agreements. As of August 24, 2025, $ 1,332.2 million of our total accounts payable were payable to suppliers who utilize these third- party services. As of May 25, 2025, $ 1,427.5 million of our total accounts payable were payable to suppliers who utilize these third- party services.

Debt [Abstract]
Debt	(7) Debt The components of notes payable and their respective weighted-average interest rates were as follows: To ensure availability of funds, we maintain bank credit lines and have commercial paper programs available to us in the United States and Europe. The following table details the credit facilities and lines of credit we had available as of August 24, 2025: In Millions Borrowing Capacity Borrowed Amount Committed credit facility expiring October 2029 $ 2,700.0 $ - Uncommitted credit facilities and lines of credit 774.8 22.1 Total $ 3,474.8 $ 22.1 The credit facilities contain covenants, including a requirement to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 2.5 times. We were in compliance with all credit facility covenants as of August 24, 2025. Long-Term Debt The fair values and carrying amounts of long-term debt, including the current portion, were $ 13,991.3 and $ 14,384.9 million, respectively, as of August 24, 2025.

Noncontrolling Interests	Aug. 24, 2025
Noncontrolling Interests [Abstract]
Noncontrolling Interests	(8) Noncontrolling Interests During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we purchased the outstanding General Mills Cereals, LLC (GMC) Class A limited membership interests (GMC Class A Interests) from the third-party holder for $ 252.8 million. The GMC Class A Interests represented our principal noncontrolling interest. The third-party holder of the GMC Class A Interests received quarterly preferred distributions from available net income based on the application of a floating preferred return rate to the holder’s capital account balance established in the most recent mark-to-market valuation. On June 1, 2024, the floating preferred return rate was reset to the sum of the three-month Term SOFR plus 261 basis points.

Stock Plans	3 Months Ended
Stock Plans	Aug. 24, 2025
Stock Plans [Abstract]
Stock Plans	(10) Stock Plans We have various stock-based compensation programs under which awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance awards, may be granted to employees and non-employee directors. These programs and related accounting are described in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 25, 2025. Compensation expense related to stock-based payments recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings was as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Compensation expense related to stock-based payments $ 15.1 $ 20.3 (Shortfall) windfall tax impacts of stock-based payments in income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 (Shortfall) windfall tax impacts of stock-based payments $ (1.5) $ 2.8 As of August 24, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units was $ 181.6 million. This expense will be recognized over 28 months on average. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options less shares used for withholding taxes and the intrinsic value of options exercised were as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Net cash proceeds $ 0.2 $ 9.4 Intrinsic value of options exercised $ - $ 1.9 We estimate the fair value of each option on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires us to make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, employee exercise behavior, dividend yield, and the forfeiture rate. We estimate our future stock price volatility using the historical volatility over the expected term of the option, excluding time periods of volatility we believe a marketplace participant would exclude in estimating our stock price volatility. We also have considered, but did not use, implied volatility in our estimate, because trading activity in options on our stock, especially those with tenors of greater than 6 months, is insufficient to provide a reliable measure of expected volatility. Our method of selecting the other valuation assumptions is explained in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 25, 2025. The estimated fair values of stock options granted and the assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows: Quarter Ended Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Estimated fair values of stock options granted $ 9.45 $ 13.20 Assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 4.2 % 4.5 % Expected term 8.0 years 8.5 years Expected volatility 22.3 % 21.6 % Dividend yield 4.7 % 3.8 % The total grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards that vested during the period was as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Total grant date fair value $ 98.6 $ 90.8

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	(11) Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were calculated using the following: Quarter Ended In Millions, Except per Share Data Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Net earnings attributable to General Mills $ 1,204.2 $ 579.9 Average number of common shares – basic EPS 541.3 560.5 Incremental share effect from: (a) Stock options 0.2 1.5 Restricted stock units and performance share units 1.0 1.8 Average number of common shares – diluted EPS 542.5 563.8 Earnings per share – basic $ 2.22 $ 1.03 Earnings per share – diluted $ 2.22 $ 1.03 (a) Incremental shares from stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units are computed by the treasury stock method. Stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units excluded from our computation of diluted EPS because they were not dilutive were as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Anti-dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units 11.6 4.4

Share Repurchases	3 Months Ended
Share Repurchases	Aug. 24, 2025
Share Repurchases [Abstract]
Share Repurchases	(12) Share Repurchases Share repurchases were as follows: In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into two accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements with an unrelated third-party financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $ 500.0 million of our shares of common stock. We paid an aggregate of $ 500.0 million and received an initial delivery of 7.5 million shares of our common stock based on the closing price of our common stock on July 1, 2025. The value of the initial shares delivered under the ASR agreements represented 80 percent of the aggregate purchase price, with a fair value of $ 400.0 million. The ASR agreements were funded with proceeds from the sale of the United States yogurt business. The first ASR agreement was settled on August 4, 2025, with a final delivery of 1.2 million additional shares. The final average purchase price for the first ASR agreement was $ 50.41 per share, not including costs of execution or excise tax. The unsettled balance of $ 50.0 million as of August 24, 2025, related to the second ASR agreement is included as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount was settled subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with a final delivery of 1.3 million shares. The final average purchase price for the second ASR agreement was $ 49.45 per share, not including costs of execution or excise tax. The total number of shares ultimately purchased and the price paid per share was determined upon final settlement based on the daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock over the term of the ASR agreement, less a discount, and subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreement. The delivery of 8.7 million shares of our common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 under the ASR agreements reduced the outstanding shares used to determine our weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. We have also evaluated, as of August 24, 2025, the second ASR agreement for the potential dilutive effects of the shares remaining to be received upon settlement, and determined that the additional shares would be anti-dilutive and therefore were not included in our diluted EPS calculation for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Shares of common stock 8.7 4.5 Aggregate purchase price $ 454.0 $ 302.2

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Aug. 24, 2025
Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(15) Income Taxes On July 4, 2025, legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law. The OBBBA makes changes to the United States corporate income tax system, including, among other provisions, the immediate expensing of research and development expenditures, and 100 percent bonus depreciation on qualified property. The impacts of the OBBBA are reflected in our results for the quarter ended August 24, 2025, and there was no material impact to our income tax expense. As of the quarter ended August 24, 2025, we expect certain provisions of the OBBBA will change the timing of cash tax payments in the current fiscal year and future periods. In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) established a framework, referred to as Pillar 2, designed to ensure large multinational enterprises pay a minimum 15 percent level of tax on the income arising in each jurisdiction in which they operate. Numerous countries have already enacted the OECD model rules effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023, which for us was fiscal 2025. There was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Several other countries have enacted or drafted legislation that is not yet effective for us, and we do not expect this legislation to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will continue to monitor for new legislation and guidance and evaluate potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we received a notice of proposed adjustment from the Internal Revenue Service associated with a capital loss from fiscal 2019. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against this assessment and will vigorously defend our position. We do not expect the resolution of the proposed adjustment to have a material impact on our financial position or liquidity.

Business Segment And Geographic Information	3 Months Ended
Business Segment And Geographic Information	Aug. 24, 2025
Business Segment And Geographic Information [Abstract]
Business Segment And Geographic Information	(16) Business Segment and Geographic Information We operate in the packaged foods industry. Our operating segments are as follows: North America Retail, International, North America Pet, and North America Foodservice. Our North America Retail operating segment reflects business with a wide variety of grocery stores, mass merchandisers, membership stores, natural food chains, drug, dollar and discount chains, convenience stores, and e-commerce grocery providers. Our product categories in this business segment include ready-to-eat cereals, soup, meal kits, refrigerated and frozen dough products, dessert and baking mixes, frozen pizza and pizza snacks, snack bars, fruit snacks, savory snacks, and a wide variety of organic products including ready-to-eat cereal, frozen and shelf-stable vegetables, meal kits, fruit snacks, and snack bars. Our International operating segment consists of retail and foodservice businesses outside of the United States and Canada. Our product categories include super-premium ice cream and frozen desserts, meal kits, salty snacks, snack bars, dessert and baking mixes, shelf-stable vegetables, and pet food products. We also sell super-premium ice cream and frozen desserts directly to consumers through owned retail shops. Our International segment also includes products manufactured in the United States for export, mainly to Caribbean and Latin American markets, as well as products we manufacture for sale to our international joint ventures. Revenues from export activities are reported in the region or country where the end customer is located. Our North America Pet operating segment includes pet food products sold primarily in the United States and Canada in national pet superstore chains, e-commerce retailers, grocery stores, regional pet store chains, mass merchandisers, and veterinary clinics and hospitals. Our product categories include dog and cat food (dry foods, wet foods, and treats) made with whole meats, fruits, vegetables, and other high-quality natural ingredients. Our tailored pet product offerings address specific dietary, lifestyle, and life- stage needs and span different product types, diet types, breed sizes for dogs, life-stages, flavors, product functions, and textures and cuts for wet foods. Our North America Foodservice segment consists of foodservice businesses in the United States and Canada. Our major product categories in our North America Foodservice operating segment are ready-to-eat cereals, snacks, frozen meals, unbaked and fully baked frozen dough products, baking mixes, and bakery flour. Many products we sell are branded to the consumer and nearly all are branded to our customers. We sell to distributors and operators in many customer channels including foodservice, vending, and supermarket bakeries. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM predominantly uses segment operating profit in the annual planning process which includes segment operating profit performance targets. The CODM assesses progress against performance targets by comparing segment operating profit actual-to-plan variances on a monthly basis. The performance assessment completed by the CODM is used to determine whether resource allocations require adjustment and contributes to the determination of incentive compensation. Operating profit for these segments excludes unallocated corporate items, gain or loss on divestitures, and restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs. Results from certain businesses managed by our Strategic Growth Office are included within corporate and other net sales and unallocated corporate items within operating profit. Unallocated corporate items also include corporate overhead expenses, variances to planned North American employee benefits and incentives, certain charitable contributions, restructuring initiative project-related costs, gains and losses on corporate investments, and other items that are not part of our measurement of segment operating performance. These include gains and losses arising from the revaluation of certain grain inventories and gains and losses from mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions until passed back to our operating segments. These items affecting operating profit are centrally managed at the corporate level and are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by executive management. Under our supply chain organization, our manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution activities are substantially integrated across our operations in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, fixed assets and depreciation and amortization expenses are neither maintained nor available by operating segment. Our operating segment results were as follows: Quarter Ended August 24, 2025 In Millions North America Retail International North America Pet North America Foodservice Total Segment net sales $ 2,625.5 $ 760.2 $ 610.0 $ 516.7 $ 4,512.4 Corporate and other net sales 5.1 Total net sales $ 4,517.5 Cost of sales $ 1,664.5 $ 538.8 $ 368.6 $ 402.3 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 396.8 155.7 128.5 43.8 Segment operating profit $ 564.2 $ 65.7 $ 112.9 $ 70.6 $ 813.4 Unallocated corporate items 125.7 Divestitures gain (1,054.4) Restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs 16.3 Operating profit $ 1,725.8 Quarter Ended August 25, 2024 In Millions North America Retail International North America Pet North America Foodservice Total Segment net sales $ 3,016.6 $ 717.0 $ 576.1 $ 536.2 $ 4,845.9 Corporate and other net sales 2.2 Total net sales $ 4,848.1 Cost of sales $ 1,836.4 $ 548.3 $ 338.1 $ 421.1 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 434.5 147.8 118.6 43.6 Segment operating profit $ 745.7 $ 20.9 $ 119.4 $ 71.5 $ 957.5 Unallocated corporate items 123.8 Restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs 2.2 Operating profit $ 831.5 Net sales for our North America Retail operating units were as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 U.S. Meals & Baking Solutions $ 921.4 $ 946.3 Big G Cereal & Canada (a) 866.9 1,159.8 U.S. Snacks 837.2 910.5 Total $ 2,625.5 $ 3,016.6 (a) Upon completion of the United States yogurt business divestiture, the former U.S. Morning Foods and Canada operating units were combined into a new Big G Cereal & Canada operating unit. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. This did not result in a change to the composition of our reportable segments or information reviewed by our CODM. Net sales by class of similar products were as follows: Quarter Ended In Millions Aug. 24, 2025 Aug. 25, 2024 Snacks $ 1,049.7 $ 1,106.8 Cereal 767.2 793.1 Convenient meals 650.8 678.9 Pet 643.0 604.6 Dough 515.1 517.8 Baking mixes and ingredients 448.0 457.1 Super-premium ice cream 221.4 212.9 Yogurt 102.0 371.9 Other 120.3 105.0 Total $ 4,517.5 $ 4,848.1
