GENERAL MILLS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(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
and
any
noncontrolling
and redeemable
interests’ share
of those
transactions.
Operating
results for
the fiscal
quarter ended
February 26,
2023,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending May 28, 2023.
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
29, 2022. 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 terms used throughout this report are defined in the “Glossary” section below.
(2) Acquisitions and Divestitures
During
the first
quarter
of fiscal
2023,
we
acquired
TNT Crust,
a
manufacturer
of high-quality
frozen pizza
crusts
for
regional
and
national pizza
chains, foodservice
distributors, and
retail outlets,
for a
purchase price
of $
253.0
million. We
financed the
transaction
with U.S. commercial paper.
We consol
idated the TNT Crust business
into our Consolidated Balance
Sheets and recorded goodwill
of
$
154.3
million. The
goodwill is
included in
the North
America Foodservice
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
TNT
Crust
business
and
will
continue
to
review
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 these items.
The consolidated results of the
TNT Crust business are reported
in
our North America Foodservice segment on a one-month lag.
During the
first quarter
of fiscal
2023,
we completed
the sale
of our
Helper main
meals and
Suddenly
Salad side
dishes business
to
Eagle Family Foods Group for $
606.8
million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $
442.2
million.
During
the
third
quarter
of
fiscal
2022,
we
completed
the
sale
of
our
interests
in
Yoplait
SAS,
Yoplait
Marques
SNC,
and
Liberté
Marques
Sàrl
to
Sodiaal
International
(Sodiaal)
in
exchange
for
Sodiaal’s
interest
in
our
Canadian
yogurt
business,
a
modified
agreement
for
the
use
of
Yoplait
and
Liberté
brands
in
the
United
States
and
Canada,
and
cash.
We
recorded
a
net
pre-tax
gain
of
$
148.8
million on the sale of these businesses during the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we sold a European dough business
and recorded a net pre-tax gain on sale of $
21.3
million.
During
the
first
quarter
of
fiscal
2022,
we
acquired
Tyson
Foods’
pet
treats
business
for
$
1.2
billion
in
cash.
We
financed
the
transaction
with
a
combination
of
cash
on
hand
and
short-term
debt.
We
consolidated
the pet
treats
business
into
our
Consolidated
Balance
Sheets
and
recorded
goodwill
of
$
762.3
million,
indefinite-lived
intangible
assets
for
the
Nudges
,
Top
Chews
,
and
True
Chews
brands
totaling
$
330.0
million
in
aggregate,
and
a
finite-lived
customer
relationship
asset
of
$
40.0
million.
The
goodwill
is
included in the Pet segment and is deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma
effects of this acquisition were not material.
(3) Restructuring, Impairment, and Other Exit Costs
In the nine-month period ended February 26, 2023, we did not undertake
any new restructuring actions. We
recorded $
2.1
million of
restructuring charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and $
16.0
million of restructuring charges in the nine-month period ended
February 26, 2023, related to restructuring actions previously announced.
We recorded $
9.3
million of restructuring charges in the
third quarter of fiscal 2022 and $
7.9
million of restructuring charges in the nine-month period ended
February 27, 2022, related to
restructuring actions previously announced.
We
expect these actions to be completed by the end of
fiscal 2024
.
We paid net $
30.6
million of cash in the nine-month period ended February 26, 2023, related to restructuring
actions previously
announced. We
paid net $
70.4
million of cash in the same period of fiscal 2022.
The roll forward of our restructuring and other exit cost reserves, included
in other current liabilities, is as follows:
In Millions
Total
Reserve balance as of May 29, 2022
$
36.8
Fiscal 2023 charges, including foreign currency translation
8.6
Utilized in fiscal 2023
(26.5)
Reserve balance as of Feb. 26, 2023
$
18.9
The reserve balance primarily consists of expected severance payments
associated with restructuring actions.
The charges
recognized in
the roll forward
of our reserves
for restructuring
and other exit
costs do not
include items
charged directly
to expense
(e.g., asset
impairment charges,
accelerated depreciation,
the gain
or loss
on the
sale of
restructured assets,
and the
write-
off
of
spare parts)
and other
periodic
exit costs
are
recognized
as incurred,
as those
items are
not reflected
in our
restructuring
and
other exit cost reserves on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(4) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The components of goodwill and other intangible assets are as follows:

(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
currently 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 and nine-month periods ended
February 26, 2023, and February 27, 2022, included:

the
net
notional

of

was
$
448.0
million,
of
which
$
153.0
million
related
to
energy inputs and $
295.0
million related to agricultural inputs. These contracts relate to inputs that generally
will be utilized within the
next
months.
As of February 26, 2023, the notional value of foreign exchange derivatives was $
1,111.8
million.
We
also have net
investments in
foreign subsidiaries
that are denominated
in euros. As
of February
26, 2023, we
hedged a portion
of
these investments with €
2,942.8
million of euro-denominated bonds.
The

of
the
derivative
positions
used
in
our
risk
management
activities
and
other
assets
recorded
at
fair
value
were
not
material as of February 26, 2023,
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.
During
the third
quarter of
fiscal 2023,
in advance
of a
planned debt
refinancing,
we entered
into a
€
250.0
million notional
amount
forward-starting interest rate swap.
During
the
second
quarter
of
fiscal
2023,
we
entered
into
a

to
convert
our

Subsequent
to

end
of
the

fiscal
2023,
in
advance

We
offer
certain
suppliers
access
to
third
party
services
that
allow
them
to
view
our

online.
The
third-party
services also
allow suppliers
to finance
advances on
our scheduled

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.
All

(8) Redeemable and Noncontrolling Interests
The
third-party
holder
of
the
General
Mills
Cereals,
LLC
(GMC)
Class A
Interests
receives
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
(currently $
251.5
million). The
floating preferred return
rate on GMC’s
Class A Interests is
the
sum
of
the
three-month Term SOFR
plus
basis
points.
The
preferred
return
rate
is
adjusted
every
three years
through
a
negotiated agreement with the Class A Interest holder or through
a remarketing auction.
During
the
third
quarter
of
fiscal
2022,
we
completed
the
sale
of
our
interests
in
Yoplait
SAS,
Yoplait
Marques
SNC,
and
Liberté
Marques
Sàrl
to
Sodiaal
in
exchange
for
Sodiaal’s
interest
in
our
Canadian
yogurt
business,
a
modified
agreement
for
the
use
of
Yoplait
and
Liberté
brands in the United States and Canada, and cash. Please see Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Up to
the date
of the
divestiture, Sodiaal
held the remaining
interests in
each of
the entities.
On the
acquisition date,
we recorded
the
fair value
of Sodiaal’s
percent interest
in Yoplait
SAS as
a redeemable
interest on
our Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
Sodiaal had
the
right
to put
all or
a portion
of its
redeemable
interest
to us
at
fair value
until the
divestiture
closed
in the
third quarter
of fiscal
- In
connection with
the divestiture,
cumulative adjustments
made to
the redeemable
interest related
to the
fair value
put feature
were reversed against additional
paid-in capital, where changes
in the redemption amount
were historically recorded,
and the resulting
carrying value of the noncontrolling interests were included in the calculation
of the gain on divestiture.
A subsidiary of
Yoplait
SAS had an exclusive
milk supply agreement
for its European operations
with Sodiaal through
November 28,
- Net purchases totaled $
99.5
million for the six-month period ended November 28, 2021.
Our noncontrolling interests contain restrictive covenants. As of February 26, 2023, we were in compliance with all of these
covenants.

We estimate the fair value of each stock option on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes option-
pricing models require us to make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, employee exercise behavior, and
dividend yield. 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 29, 2022.

(15) Income Taxes
During
the
first
quarter
of
fiscal
2023,
the
Inflation
Reduction
Act
(IRA)
was
signed
into
law.
The
IRA
introduces
a
Corporate
Alternative Minimum Tax
beginning in our fiscal 2024
and an excise tax on the
repurchase of corporate
stock starting after January
1,
We
do not
currently expect the
IRA to have
a material impact
on our financial
results, including our
annual estimated effective
tax rate, or on our liquidity.
The amount of excise tax on
the repurchase of corporate stock
was immaterial in the third quarter
of fiscal
We will continue
to monitor and assess the impact the IRA may have on our business and financial results.
During fiscal
2022, the
Brazilian tax
authority,
Secretaria da
Receita Federal
do Brasil
(RFB), concluded
audits of
our 2012
through
2018
tax
return
years.
These
audits
included
a
review
of
our
determinations
of
amortization
of
certain
goodwill
arising
from
the
acquisition of
Yoki
Alimentos S.A.
The RFB
has proposed
adjustments that
effectively
eliminate the
goodwill amortization
benefits
related to this transaction. We
believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to continue to contest the disallowance
for all years.
(16) Contingencies
During
fiscal
2020,
we
received
notice
from
the
tax
authorities of
the
State of
São
Paulo,
Brazil
regarding
our
compliance
with
its
state sales tax requirements.
As a result, we
have been assessed additional
state sales taxes, interest,
and penalties. We
believe that we
have
meritorious
defenses
against
this
claim
and
will
vigorously
defend
our
position.
As
of
February
26,
2023,
we
are
unable
to
estimate any possible loss and have not recorded a loss contingency for
this matter.
(17) Business Segment and Geographic Information
We
operate
in
the
packaged
foods
industry.
In
fiscal
2022,
we
completed
a
new
organization
structure
to
streamline
our
global
operations.
This
global
reorganization
required
us
to
reevaluate
our
operating
segments.
Under
our
new
organization
structure,
our
chief operating decision maker assesses performance
and makes decisions about resources to be allocated to
our operating segments as
follows: North America Retail, International,
Pet, and North America Foodservice.
We
have restated
our net
sales by segment
and segment
operating profit
to reflect our
previously reported
operating segment
change.
These
segment
changes
had
no
effect
on
previously
reported
consolidated
net
sales,
operating
profit,
net
earnings
attributable
to
General Mills, or earnings per share.
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,
refrigerated
yogurt,
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, snack
bars, and
refrigerated
yogurt.
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,
and
shelf
stable
vegetables.
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 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, lifestages, 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,
refrigerated
yogurt,
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.
Operating profit
for these
segments excludes
unallocated corporate
items, gain
or loss
on divestitures,
and restructuring,
impairment,
and
other
exit
costs.
Unallocated
corporate
items
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.
