December 20/New York/Associated Press -- Food company General Mills is reporting net income slipped 28% in the second quarter, pressured by rising costs and some charges, but revenue jumped by double digits.
The company maintained its adjusted full-year earnings guidance but cautioned that second-half gross margin as a percent of sales will be below year-ago levels.
General Mills Inc. earned $444.8 million, down from $613.9 million a year earlier.
Revenue rose 14% to $4.62 billion from $4.07 billion, helped by higher prices.
