General Mills reported fiscal 2027 first-quarter net sales of $4.4 billion, down 3 percent because of its U.S. yogurt divestiture, with organic net sales flat and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.75, down 13 percent in constant currency, and reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2027 outlook. Chairman and CEO Jeff Harmening said the company was off to an encouraging start in fiscal 2027 and remained confident in its ability to deliver its guidance.
