How General Mills’ Segments Performed in Q1 2019
General Mills’ (GIS) largest business segment—North American Retail—continues to disappoint with its weak sales performance. The segment’s net sales decreased 2% YoY (year-over-year) to $2.4 billion, reflecting lower volumes. Tough YoY comparables also remained a drag. The segment’s organic sales decreased 1% as lower volumes of -2% more than offset the 1% gain from higher pricing and mix.
