Second Quarter Highlights

•Global eCommerce sales grew 23%, led by store-fulfilled pickup & delivery and marketplace

•Global advertising business3 up 38%, with strength across segments. Walmart U.S. advertising up 38%

•Membership fee revenue grew 17% globally

•Gross profit rate up 96 bps, led by Walmart U.S., primarily impacted by tariff refund impacts noted below

•Operating income up $2.1 billion, or 28.8%; up 17.4% adjusted (cc)1; which includes the impact of tariff refunds received, partially offset by price investments in the quarter. Setting aside this net impact, underlying operating income growth was at the top end of our guidance.

Guidance

The following guidance reflects the Company’s expectations as of August 20, 2026.This guidance is subject to substantial risk and uncertainty that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth below under the heading Forward-looking statements. Additionally, guidance is provided on a non-GAAP basis as the Company cannot predict certain elements that are included in reported GAAP results, such as the changes in fair value of the Company’s equity and other investments. Growth rates reflect an adjusted basis for prior year results.

“Our business model is only getting stronger and more durable, and we’re pleased to raise our guidance for the year. For Q3 sales guidance, we expect a headwind of over 100bps to growth related to a timing shift of Flipkart’s Big Billion Days between Q3 and Q4. Our operating income outlook reflects the continued prioritization of tariff refunds received in Q2 into customer experience and price investments in the second half. For this reason, I encourage you to consider Q2 and Q3 performance together to assess the underlying growth of the business,” said John David Rainey, Walmart Inc. executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Third quarter

The Company’s third quarter fiscal 2027 guidance is based on the following Q3 FY26 figures: Net sales: $177.8 billion, adjusted operating income1: $7.3 billion, and adjusted EPS1: $0.62.

Comparable sales is a metric that indicates the performance of our existing stores and clubs by measuring the change in sales for such stores and clubs, and it is important to review in conjunction with the company’s financial results reported in accordance with GAAP. Walmart's definition of comparable sales includes sales from stores and clubs open for the previous 12 months, including remodels, relocations, expansions and conversions, as well as eCommerce sales. Comparable sales excluding fuel is also an important, separate metric that indicates the performance of our existing stores and clubs without considering fuel, which is volatile and unpredictable. Other companies in our industry may calculate comparable sales differently, limiting the comparability of the metric.

Reconciliations of and Other Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

The following information provides reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in the press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company has provided the non-GAAP financial information presented in the press release, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

Constant currency

In discussing our operating results, the term currency exchange rates refers to the currency exchange rates we use to convert the operating results for countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. We calculate the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the current period's currency exchange rates and the comparable prior year period's currency exchange rates. Additionally, no currency exchange rate fluctuations are calculated for non-USD acquisitions until owned for 12 months.

Throughout our discussion, we refer to the results of this calculation as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. When we refer to constant currency operating results, this means operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations. The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to better understand Walmart’s underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The table below reflects the calculation of constant currency for total revenues, net sales and operating income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026.

Adjusted operating income

Adjusted operating income is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules because it excludes certain charges included in operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that adjusted operating income is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period. In addition, adjusted operating income affords investors a view of what management considers Walmart’s core earnings performance and the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance as compared with that of the prior year.

When we refer to adjusted operating income in constant currency, this means adjusted operating results without the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to better understand Walmart’s underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations. The table below reflects the calculation of adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income in constant currency for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, and the calculation of adjusted operating income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes, however, that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus payments for property and equipment made in that period. Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.7 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2026, which represents an increase of $1.4 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by operating income, partially offset by timing of inventory receipts. Free cash flow for the six months ended July 31, 2026 was $5.5 billion, which represents a decrease of $1.4 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year.

The decrease in free cash flow was due to an increase of $2.8 billion in capital expenditures to support our omnichannel growth strategy, partially offset by the increase in net cash provided by operating activities described above.

Walmart’s definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Although other companies report their free cash flow, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company’s free cash flow. As a result, the method used by Walmart’s management to calculate our free cash flow may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their free cash flow.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net cash provided by operating activities, which we believe to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to free cash flow, as well as information regarding net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Walmart (adjusted EPS) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules because it excludes certain amounts included in the diluted earnings per share attributable to Walmart calculated in accordance with GAAP (EPS), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that adjusted EPS is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period. In addition, adjusted EPS affords investors a view of what management considers Walmart’s core earnings performance and the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance with that of the prior year.

We adjust for the unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments each quarter because although the investments are strategic decisions for our retail operations, management’s measurement of each strategy is primarily focused on the operational results rather than the fair value of such investments. Additionally, management does not forecast changes in the fair value of its equity and other investments. Accordingly, management adjusts EPS each quarter for the unrealized and realized gains and losses related to those investments.

Tax impacts are calculated based on the nature of the item, including any realizable deductions, and statutory rates in effect for relevant jurisdictions. NCI impacts are based on the ownership percentages of our noncontrolling interests, where applicable.

We have calculated adjusted EPS for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 by adjusting EPS for the following:

1.unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments; and

2.certain tax matter related to changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

2 The reported effective tax rate was 18.5% and 20.7% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively. Adjusted for the above items, the effective tax rate was 24.8% and 23.9% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026.

3 Impact includes benefit recorded in provision for income taxes as well as interest, net. For the quarter ended July 31, 2026, interest, net was $0.2 billion. Excluding the interest impact of this matter, adjusted interest, net was $0.6 billion.

As previously disclosed in our second quarter ended July 31, 2025 press release, we have calculated adjusted EPS for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 for the following:

1.unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments;

2.charges related to certain legal matters which were outside the normal course of our operations and recorded in Corporate and support; and

3.business reorganization charges, primarily related to expenses incurred in connection with strategic supply chain decisions made in the Sam’s Club U.S. segment, as well as incremental business reorganization charges recorded in Corporate and support.

Return on investment

We include return on assets ("ROA") and return on investment (“ROI”) as metrics to assess our return on capital. ROA is the most directly comparable measure based on our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, while ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes ROI is a meaningful metric to share with investors because it helps investors assess how effectively Walmart is deploying its assets. Trends in ROI can fluctuate over time as management balances long-term strategic initiatives with possible short-term impacts.

Our calculation of ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it uses financial measures that differ from those used in ROA, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. ROA is consolidated net income for the period divided by average total assets for the period. We define ROI as operating income plus interest income, depreciation and amortization, and rent expense for the trailing 12 months divided by average invested capital during that period. We consider average invested capital to be the average of our beginning and ending total assets, plus average accumulated depreciation and amortization, less average accounts payable and average accrued liabilities for that period. Although ROI is a standard financial measure, numerous methods exist for calculating a company's ROI. As a result, the method used by management to calculate our ROI may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their ROI.

ROA was 8.0 percent and 8.3 percent for the trailing 12 months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in ROA was primarily due to net decreases in the fair value of our equity and other investments and an increase in average total assets resulting from higher purchases of property and equipment, offset by an increase in operating income. ROI was 15.4 percent and 15.1 percent for the trailing 12 months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in ROI was primarily due to an increase in operating income from improved business performance, partially offset by an increase in average invested capital due to higher purchases of property and equipment.

The calculation of ROA and ROI, along with a reconciliation of ROI to the calculation of ROA, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is as follows:
