Home U.S. World Entertainment Sports Business Health Science Technology Politics Offbeat Environment Travel News Articles General Mills Q4 Profit Slips On Costs, Healthcare Tax Email Facebook Digg Twitter Buzz Up! ShareThis June 30, 2010 2:25 p.m. EST Topics: earnings, company information, economy, business and finance, United States Mitchell Jaworski - AHN News Reporter Minneapolis, MN, United States (AHN) - General Mills announced late Tuesday that fiscal fourth quarter earnings fell 41 percent as the impact of higher commodity costs and a one-time charge for a healthcare reform tax cut into the bottom line. The maker of Cheerios said it earned $212 million or 31 cents a share in the fourth quarter, down from $359 million or 53 cents a share in the same period a year ago. Excluding one-time items that included a tax related charge for the new healthcare reform, General Mills said it earned 41 cents a share. The result fell just shy of analyst estimates that called for 42 cents share. Sales in the quarter dipped 2 percent to $3.6 billion. However, the year-ago quarter included one extra week of sales. Gross margin was pressured in the period, falling to 36.2 percent from 42.4 percent last year. Margins were mainly pressured by the mark-to-market valuations on some commodities and the company’s grain inventories. For the year, General Mills grew sales by 1 percent to $14.8 billion, leading to earnings of $2.30 a share, up from $1.99 a year earlier. Looking forward, General Mills said it expects fiscal 2011 earnings of $2.46 to $2.48 a share, with sales growing in the low single digit range.
