(we, us, our, General Mills, or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature, including the elimination of all intercompany transactions and any noncontrolling and redeemable interests’ share of those transactions. Operating results for the quarter ended August 25, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2020. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 10.00pt"> </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 10.00pt">These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 26, 2019.

This results in certain leases being capitalized as a right of use asset with a related liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have performed a review of our lease portfolio, implemented lease accounting software, and developed a centralized business process with corresponding controls. We adopted this guidance utilizing the cumulative effect adjustment approach, which required application of the guidance at the adoption date and elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, including not reassessing whether existing contracts contain leases and carrying forward the historical classification of those leases. In addition, we elected not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and to continue our historical treatment of land easements, under permitted elections. This guidance did not have a material impact on retained earnings, our Consolidated Statements of Earnings, or our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheets. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 10.00pt"> </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 10.00pt">Certain terms used throughout this report are defined in the “Glossary” section below.</span></p>

CY2019Q3	us-gaap	Share Based Compensation Arrangement By Share Based Payment Award Fair Value Assumptions Method Used ShareBasedCompensationArrangementByShareBasedPaymentAwardFairValueAssumptionsMethodUsed	We estimate the fair value of each stock option on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes option-pricing models require us to make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, employee exercise behavior, and dividend yield. We estimate our future stock price volatility using the historical volatility over the expected term of the option, excluding time periods of volatility we believe a marketplace participant would exclude in estimating our stock price volatility. We also have considered, but did not use, implied volatility in our estimate, because trading activity in options on our stock, especially those with tenors of greater than 6 months, is insufficient to provide a reliable measure of expected volatility. Our method of selecting the other valuation assumptions is explained in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 26, 2019.
