About General Mills, Inc.
About General Mills, Inc.
Walmart and its affiliates accounted for 22% of General Mills' consolidated net sales and 31% of its North America Retail segment net sales in fiscal 2025, making it the single largest customer by a wide margin; no other customer exceeded 10% of consolidated net sales. General Mills marketed more than 100 brands in 100 countries across four operating segments and employed approximately 33,000 people globally as of May 25, 2025. Principal categories include snacks, ready-to-eat cereal, convenient meals, natural pet food, and refrigerated dough.
General Mills generates revenue from branded consumer and pet food products sold through grocery stores, mass merchandisers, membership stores, e-commerce retailers, and foodservice distributors, generally through a direct sales force with broker and distribution arrangements for certain channels. Principal raw material inputs — grains (wheat, oats, and corn), dairy, meat, vegetable oils, and packaging materials — represent the largest variable cost in manufacturing, and the company manages commodity exposure through derivatives and advance purchases without fully hedging all price changes. In most categories, General Mills competes against both other branded manufacturers and private-label products generally sold at lower prices. International operations accounted for 19% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025, with principal currency exposures to the Australian dollar, euro, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, and British pound sterling.
Show full overview
Walmart's 22% share of consolidated net sales concentrates pricing power in a single retail counterparty within a consolidating grocery industry. The 10-K notes that large retail customers may seek to exploit their position through lower pricing, increased reliance on their own branded products, and expanded promotional demands. If General Mills is unable to respond with scale, product differentiation, or category leadership, profitability and volume growth could be adversely affected; the loss of any large customer is explicitly identified as a risk that could adversely affect sales and profits.
