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.
Operating results for the fiscal quarter ended February 22, 2026, 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.
(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. The consolidated results are reported in our North
America Pet operating segment on a one-month lag. In fiscal 2026, we recorded a $31.9 million decrease to goodwill, primarily related
to adjustments to certain purchase accounting liabilities upon finalization of income tax returns recorded in the second quarter of fiscal
On March 16, 2026, subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our
business in Brazil to Café Três Corações S.A. (3corações) for a base purchase price of R$800.0 million, subject to certain specified
deductions and customary post-closing adjustments. The sale is anticipated to close by the end of calendar 2026, subject to regulatory
approvals and other customary closing conditions. We expect to record a pre-tax loss on the sale, which will include the recognition of
accumulated foreign currency translation losses that totaled $622.1 million as of February 22, 2026. Additionally, as of February 22,
2026, we have $238.3 million of net deferred tax assets held in Brazil.
(3) Restructuring, Transformation, Impairment, and Other Exit Costs
Restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges (recoveries) were as follows:
| Quarter Ended | Nine-Month Period Ended | ||||||
| In Millions | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | |||
| Supply chain actions | $25.1 | $— | $75.4 | $— | |||
| Other intangible asset impairment | — | — | 52.9 | — | |||
| Charges (recoveries) associated with restructuring and transformation actions previously announced | 7.7 | (0.6) | 47.9 | 3.6 | |||
| Total | $32.8 | $(0.6) | $176.2 | $3.6 |
In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we did not undertake any new restructuring or transformation actions. We recorded $25.1 million of
restructuring charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and $75.4 million of restructuring charges in the nine-month period ended
February 22, 2026, related to the multi-year organizational initiative to increase the competitiveness of our supply chain approved in
the second quarter of fiscal 2026. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we increased the estimate of restructuring charges that we expect
to incur related to these supply chain actions due to the identification of additional opportunities. As a result, we expect to incur a total
of approximately $96 million of restructuring charges for this initiative, of which approximately $28 million will be cash. These
charges are expected to consist of approximately $66 million of asset write-offs and $30 million of other costs, including severance.
We expect these actions to be completed by the end of fiscal 2029.
We recorded $7.7 million of restructuring and transformation charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and $47.9 million of
restructuring and transformation charges in the nine-month period ended February 22, 2026, related to actions previously announced.
We recorded a $0.6 million net recovery of restructuring charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $3.6 million of restructuring
charges in the nine-month period ended February 23, 2025, related to restructuring actions previously announced. We expect these
actions to be completed by the end of fiscal 2028.
We paid net $67.1 million of cash in the nine-month period ended February 22, 2026, related to restructuring and transformation
actions. We paid net $7.0 million of cash in the same period of fiscal 2025.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a $52.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to our Uncle Toby’s brand
intangible asset. Please see Note 4 for additional information.
Restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges (recoveries) are recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as
follows:
| Quarter Ended | Nine-Month Period Ended | ||||||
| In Millions | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | |||
| Restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs (recoveries) | $24.4 | $(0.8) | $162.8 | $2.6 | |||
| Cost of sales | 8.4 | 0.2 | 13.4 | 1.0 | |||
| Total restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges (recoveries) | $32.8 | $(0.6) | $176.2 | $3.6 |
The roll forward of our restructuring, transformation, and other exit cost reserves, included in other current liabilities, is as follows:
| In Millions | Total |
| Reserve balance as of May 25, 2025 | $77.1 |
| Fiscal 2026 charges, including foreign currency translation | 4.7 |
| Utilized in fiscal 2026 | (28.8) |
| Reserve balance as of Feb. 22, 2026 | $53.0 |
The restructuring, transformation, and other exit cost reserves balance as of February 22, 2026, 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 write-offs, asset impairment charges, and the gain or loss on the sale of restructured assets) 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.
(4) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The components of goodwill and other intangible assets are as follows:
| In Millions | Feb. 22, 2026 | May 25, 2025 | ||
| Goodwill | $15,634.4 | $15,622.4 | ||
| Other intangible assets: | ||||
| Intangible assets not subject to amortization: | ||||
| Brands | 6,780.2 | 6,816.7 | ||
| Intangible assets subject to amortization: | ||||
| Customer relationships and other finite-lived intangibles | 421.3 | 420.9 | ||
| Less accumulated amortization | (171.4) | (156.2) | ||
| Intangible assets subject to amortization, net | 249.9 | 264.7 | ||
| Other intangible assets | 7,030.1 | 7,081.4 | ||
| Total | $22,664.5 | $22,703.8 |
Based on the carrying value of finite-lived intangible assets as of February 22, 2026, annual amortization expense for each of the next
five fiscal years is estimated to be approximately $20 million.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine-month period ended February 22, 2026, were as follows:
| In Millions | North America Retail | North America Pet | North America Foodservice | International (a) | Corporate and Joint Ventures | Total | ||||||
| Balance as of May 25, 2025 | $6,323.5 | $7,149.5 | $755.5 | $951.7 | $442.2 | $15,622.4 | ||||||
| Divestiture | (4.7) | — | (0.2) | — | — | (4.9) | ||||||
| Purchase accounting adjustments | — | (31.9) | — | — | — | (31.9) | ||||||
| Other activity, primarily foreign currency translation | 0.3 | — | — | 33.1 | 15.4 | 48.8 | ||||||
| Balance as of Feb. 22, 2026 | $6,319.1 | $7,117.6 | $755.3 | $984.8 | $457.6 | $15,634.4 |
(a)The carrying amounts of goodwill within the International segment as of May 25, 2025, and February 22, 2026, 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.
The changes in the carrying amount of other intangible assets during the nine-month period ended February 22, 2026, were as follows:
| In Millions | Total | |
| Balance as of May 25, 2025 | $7,081.4 | |
| Impairment charge | (52.9) | |
| Other activity, primarily foreign currency translation and amortization | 1.6 | |
| Balance as of Feb. 22, 2026 | $7,030.1 |
Our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test was performed on the first day of the second quarter of
fiscal 2026. As a result of lower future sales and profitability projections for the business supporting our Uncle Toby’s brand
intangible asset, we determined that the fair value of the brand intangible asset no longer exceeded its carrying value and recorded a
$52.9 million non-cash impairment charge. We recorded the impairment charge in restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other
exit costs in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Our estimate of the fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow
model using inputs which included our long-range cash flow projections for the business, the royalty rate, the weighted-average cost
of capital rate, and the tax rate. The fair value is a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy.
All other intangible asset fair values were substantially in excess of the carrying values. In addition, while having significant coverage
as of our fiscal 2026 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.
(5) Inventories
The components of inventories were as follows:
| In Millions | Feb. 22, 2026 | May 25, 2025 | |
| Finished goods | $1,755.7 | $1,883.9 | |
| Raw materials and packaging | 493.9 | 460.0 | |
| Grain | 107.2 | 112.5 | |
| Excess of FIFO over LIFO cost | (601.1) | $(545.6) | |
| Total | $1,755.7 | $1,910.8 |
(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 and nine-month periods ended February 22, 2026, and February 23, 2025, included:
| Quarter Ended | Nine-Month Period Ended | ||||||
| In Millions | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | |||
| Net gain (loss) on mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions | $14.7 | $16.0 | $9.4 | $(18.3) | |||
| Net loss on commodity positions reclassified from unallocated corporate items to segment operating profit | 1.8 | 7.3 | 1.6 | 43.6 | |||
| Net mark-to-market revaluation of certain grain inventories | 0.7 | (0.1) | 1.7 | (1.5) | |||
| Net mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity positions recognized in unallocated corporate items | $17.2 | $23.2 | $12.7 | $23.8 |
As of February 22, 2026, the net notional value of commodity derivatives was $140.5 million, of which $82.1 million related to
energy inputs and $58.4 million related to agricultural 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 February 22, 2026, we hedged a portion of
these investments with €3,645.1 million of euro-denominated bonds.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into a €750.0 million notional amount interest rate swap to convert our €750.0
million fixed-rate notes due April 17, 2032, to a floating rate.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, in advance of planned debt financing, we entered into $350.0 million of treasury locks. The
treasury locks were terminated during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, in conjunction with the Company’s issuance of $750.0 million
of fixed-rate notes due January 30, 2035. Upon termination, a gain of $0.1 million was recognized in AOCI and will be amortized
through interest expense over the respective term of the debt.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into a $750.0 million notional amount interest rate swap to convert our $750.0
million of fixed-rate notes due January 30, 2030, to a floating rate.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, our $500.0 million notional amount interest rate swap to convert our $500.0 million of fixed-
rate notes due November 18, 2025, to a floating rate was called by the counterparty prior to the maturity date. The previously existing
swap was designated as a fair value hedge, and concurrent with the swap being called, we ceased recording market value adjustments
to the associated hedged debt.
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 February 22, 2026, 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 February 22, 2026, $1,380.5 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.
(7) Debt
The components of notes payable and their respective weighted-average interest rates were as follows:
| Feb. 22, 2026 | May 25, 2025 | ||||||
| In Millions | Notes Payable | Weighted- Average Interest Rate | Notes Payable | Weighted- Average Interest Rate | |||
| U.S. commercial paper | $832.6 | 3.7% | $669.4 | 4.5% | |||
| Financial institutions | 4.7 | 4.0 | 7.6 | 5.8 | |||
| Total | $837.3 | 3.7% | $677.0 | 4.5% |
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 February 22, 2026:
| In Millions | Borrowing Capacity | Borrowed Amount | |
| Committed credit facility expiring October 2029 | $2,700.0 | $— | |
| Uncommitted credit facilities and lines of credit | 776.8 | 4.7 | |
| Total | $3,476.8 | $4.7 |
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 February 22, 2026.
Long-Term Debt
The fair values and carrying amounts of long-term debt, including the current portion, were $12,848.4 million and $13,130.4 million,
respectively, as of February 22, 2026. The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using market quotations and discounted cash
flows based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments. Long-term debt is a Level 2 liability in the
fair value hierarchy.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we repaid €600.0 million of 0.45 percent fixed-rate notes due January 15, 2026, using proceeds
from the issuance of commercial paper and cash on hand.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we repaid €500.0 million of 0.125 percent fixed-rate notes due November 15, 2025, with cash on
hand.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we issued €750.0 million of 3.6 percent fixed-rate notes due April 17, 2032. We used the net
proceeds to repay $800.0 million of 4.0 percent fixed-rate notes due April 17, 2025, and a portion of our outstanding commercial
paper, as well as for general corporate purposes.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we repaid $500.0 million of 5.241 percent fixed-rate notes due November 18, 2025, using proceeds
from the issuance of commercial paper.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we issued $750.0 million of 4.875 percent fixed-rate notes due January 30, 2030. We used the net
proceeds to fund the Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we issued $750.0 million of 5.25 percent fixed-rate notes due January 30, 2035. We used the net
proceeds to fund the Whitebridge Pet Brands acquisition.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we issued €250.0 million of floating-rate notes due April 22, 2026. We used the net proceeds to
repay €250.0 million of floating-rate notes due November 8, 2024.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we issued €500.0 million of floating-rate notes due October 22, 2026. We used the net proceeds to
repay €500.0 million of floating-rate notes due November 8, 2024.
Certain of our long-term debt agreements contain restrictive covenants. As of February 22, 2026, we were in compliance with all of
these covenants.
(8) Noncontrolling Interest
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.

(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 | Nine-Month Period Ended | ||||||
| In Millions | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | |||

Compensation expense related to stock-based payments recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings includes amounts
recognized in restructuring, transformation, impairment, and other exit costs in fiscal 2026.
Windfall (shortfall) tax benefits from stock-based payments in income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as
follows:

| Windfall (shortfall) tax benefits from stock-based payments | $0.4 | $1.1 | $(1.2) | $5.9 |
As of February 22, 2026, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units, and
performance share units was $138.5 million. This expense will be recognized over 24 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:
| Nine-Month Period Ended | |||

| Net cash proceeds | $0.4 | $38.4 | |
| Intrinsic value of options exercised | $— | $11.0 |
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:
| Nine-Month Period Ended | ||||
| Feb. 22, 2026 | Feb. 23, 2025 | |||
| Estimated fair values of stock options granted | $9.45 | $13.26 | ||

| 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:

paid an aggregate of $500.0 million and received an initial delivery of 7.5 million shares of our common stock in the first quarter of
fiscal 2026.
The first ASR agreement was settled in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 with a final delivery of 1.2 million additional shares. The second
ASR agreement was settled in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 with a final delivery of 1.3 million additional shares. We received a

(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 nine-month period ended February 22, 2026, and there was no material impact to our income tax expense. As of the
nine-month period ended February 22, 2026, 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.

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, fresh 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 and fresh 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.
