General Mills (GIS) reported sales and profits dropped in its fiscal first quarter from the same time last year as lower prices and higher costs weighed on the breakfast and snack fܫood giant's margins.

Total revenue for the quarter came in at $4.85 billion, just above analyst estimates but down 1% from the same time last year. 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Net income of $579.9 million fell from $673.5 million a year ago, and missed analyst estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.

The company credited an "unfavorable net price realization and mix" for the decline in sales. The company's sales volume decreased in North America, while international sales volume rose but was partially offset by lower prices.
