General Mills declined 4% to $64.0 after the food products maker reported quarterly earnings were ahead of expectations but revenue fell short of estimates, and the company lowered its annual outlook.

Revenue in the fiscal second quarter ending on November 26 declined 2% to $5.1 billion from $5.2 billion, net income declined 2% to $595.5 million from $605.9 million, and diluted earnings per share rose to $1.02 from $1.01 a year ago.

North American organic net and reported sales declined 2% after organic volume fell 5 percentage points, offset by a 4 percentage point increase in price.

The company revised its annual sales growth outlook for full-year fiscal 2024.

Organic net sales are estimated to range between a decrease of 1% and flat from the previous estimate of growth between 3% and 4%, reflecting a slower volume recovery in the year.

The company reiterated its free cash flow conversion to be at least 95% of adjusted after-tax earnings.
