Shares of J.M. Smucker were falling Wednesday after the packaged food maker reported mixed quarterly earnings.

The company, which owns brands like Jif peanut butter and Folgers coffee, posted adjusted earnings of $1.90 a share for its fiscal first quarter, below analysts' consensus estimates of $1.93. Sales totaled $2.11 billion, down 1% from the prior year and just shy of Wall Street's call for $2.12 billion.

Sales in the company's Sweet Baked Snacks segment, which includes Hostess Brands, declined 24% from the previous year, and profit margins sank by nearly nine percentage points.
