  • 2003 Annual Report
    2003 Annual Report 75 years of shareholder value creation General Mills was incorporated in June 1928 and five months later, on November 30, shares of General Mills (GIS) traded on the New York Stock Exchange for the first time. The closing price that day was 20 cents per share, adjusted for subsequent stock splits and spin-off distributions. Over the next 75 years, the business envi- ronment and General Mills’ product portfolio both experienced continuous change. One factor that remained constant, however, was our focus on delivering superior returns to shareholders. Our business performance resulted in price increases for GIS stock averaging 7.6 percent per year over the last 75 years. This significantly outpaced the market, as represented by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and was more than double the compound annual inflation rate represented by the Consumer Price Index. General Mills and its prede- cessor firm have paid shareholder dividends without interruption or reduction for 105 years. Of the more than 2,500 companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange today, fewer than 60 have longer dividend records. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we thank shareholders for their investment in our business, and we reaffirm our commitment to delivering superior growth and returns in the years ahead.
