Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Walmart Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Walmart" or the "Company") and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and do not contain certain information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 ("fiscal 2025"). Therefore, the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on a fiscal year ending January 31 for the United States ("U.S.") and Canadian operations. The Company consolidates all other operations generally using a one-month lag based on a calendar year. There were no significant intervening events during the month of July 2025 related to the consolidated operations using a lag that materially affected the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company's business is seasonal to a certain extent due to calendar events and national and religious holidays, as well as weather patterns. Historically, the Company's highest sales volume has occurred in the fiscal quarter ending January 31.
Use of Estimates
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. Those principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Management's estimates and assumptions also affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
Supplier Financing Program Obligations
The Company has supplier financing programs with financial institutions, in which the Company agrees to pay the financial institution the stated amount of confirmed invoices on the invoice due date for participating suppliers. Participation in these programs is optional and solely up to the supplier, who negotiates the terms of the arrangement directly with the financial institution and may allow early payment. The outstanding payment obligations to financial institutions under these programs were $
5.7
billion for each of the periods ended July 31, 2025, January 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
, which expands the requirements for income tax disclosures in order to provide greater transparency. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, although optional retrospective application is permitted. Management intends to adopt the amendments prospectively for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 and is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures. The amendments only impact disclosures and are not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
, which requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures. The amendments only impact disclosures and are not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share attributable to Walmart is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted net income per common share attributable to Walmart is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the relevant period adjusted for the dilutive effect of share-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method. The Company did not have significant share-based awards outstanding that were antidilutive and not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share attributable to Walmart for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to determine basic and diluted net income per common share attributable to Walmart:

Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•
Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
•
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
•
Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Table of Contents
The Company measures the fair value of certain equity investments, including certain immaterial equity method investments where the Company has elected the fair value option, on a recurring basis primarily within other long-term assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of gains and losses included in earnings from fair value changes for these investments are recognized within other gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The fair value of these investments is as follows:
(Amounts in millions) Fair Value as of July 31, 2025 Fair Value as of January 31, 2025
Equity investments measured using Level 1 inputs $ 1,097 $ 959
Equity investments measured using Level 2 inputs 3,466 2,082
Total $ 4,563 $ 3,041

The fair value of these investments increased $
2.2
 billion and $
1.5
 billion for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, and decreased $
1.1
 billion and $
0.6
 billion for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, respectively, primarily due to gains and losses resulting from net changes in the underlying stock prices of the investments along with certain other immaterial investment activity. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost and adjusted for any observable price changes or impairments within other gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Derivatives
The Company also has derivatives recorded at fair value. Derivative fair values are the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay upon termination of the related derivative agreements as of the reporting dates. The fair values have been measured using the income approach and Level 2 inputs, which include the relevant interest rate and foreign currency forward curves.
As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the notional amounts and fair values of these derivatives were as follows:

Primarily classified in deferred income taxes and other within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
In addition to assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company's assets and liabilities are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. The Company did not have any material assets or liabilities resulting in nonrecurring fair value measurements as of July 31, 2025 in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The Company records cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term borrowings at cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The Company's long-term debt is also recorded at cost. The fair value is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable prices of identical instruments in less active markets.
The carrying value and fair value of the Company's long-term debt as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, are as follows:

Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in a number of legal proceedings and certain regulatory matters. The Company records a liability for those legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it determines it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses when it is reasonably possible that a material loss may be incurred. From time to time, the Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Unless stated otherwise, the matters discussed below, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, individually or in the aggregate, may result in a liability material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The
11
Table of Contents
Company can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of these matters and cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss, beyond the amounts accrued, if any, that may arise from these matters.
Settlement of Certain Opioid-Related Matters
The Company entered into settlement agreements with all
50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
three
U.S. territories, and the vast majority of eligible political subdivisions and federally recognized Native American tribes to resolve opioid-related claims against the Company. In fiscal year 2023, the Company accrued a liability of approximately $
3.3
 billion for these settlements, which included amounts for remediation of alleged harms, attorneys' fees, and costs. As of January 31, 2025, all of the accrued liability had been paid. Remaining federally recognized Native American tribes have until February 24, 2026 to join the settlement, but the Company will owe no additional funds for any that join.
Ongoing Opioid-Related Litigation
The Company will continue to vigorously defend against any opioid-related matters not settled or otherwise resolved, including, but not limited to, each of the matters described below; any other actions filed by healthcare providers, individuals, and third-party payers; and any action filed by a political subdivision or Native American tribe that elects not to join the settlement described above. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued a liability for these opioid-related matters nor can the Company reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise from these matters. The Company can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of any of the opioid-related matters and no assurance that its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
Opioid Multidistrict Litigation; Other Opioid-Related Matters in the U.S. and Canada
. In December 2017, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated numerous lawsuits filed against a wide array of defendants by various plaintiffs, including counties, cities, healthcare providers, Native American tribes, individuals and third-party payers, asserting claims generally concerning the impacts of widespread opioid abuse. The consolidated multidistrict litigation is entitled
In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation
(MDL No. 2804) (the "MDL") and is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (the "MDL Court"). The Company is named as a defendant in some cases included in the MDL.
A trial involving claims brought by Lake and Trumbull Counties in Ohio against certain defendants, including the Company, in the MDL resulted in a judgment on August 17, 2022 that ordered all
three
defendants, including the Company, to pay an aggregate amount of approximately $
0.7
 billion over
15
years, on a joint and several liability basis, and granted the plaintiffs injunctive relief. The monetary aspect of the judgment was stayed pending appeal, and the injunctive aspect of the judgment went into effect on February 20, 2023, which did not materially impact the Company's operations. The Company filed an appeal with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which issued an order certifying certain questions in the appeal for review by the Supreme Court of Ohio. On December 10, 2024, the Supreme Court of Ohio issued an order certifying the law and holding that the Ohio Product Liability Act bars all common law public nuisance claims arising from the sale of a product. On January 31, 2025, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals entered an order vacating the approximately $
0.7
 billion judgment, dissolving the injunction, and remanding the case back to the MDL. Lake and Trumbull Counties agreed to settle their remaining opioid-related claims against the Company for an amount that is not material. The MDL Court dismissed those claims with prejudice on July 25, 2025.
Additional opioid-related cases against the Company remain pending in the MDL and in state and federal courts. The plaintiffs include healthcare providers, third-party payers, individuals and others and seek compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief, including abatement.
Four
cases brought by third-party payers and
one
case brought by a hospital system have been selected as bellwether cases to proceed through discovery in the MDL, and the MDL Court may designate additional bellwether cases in the future. The Florida Health Sciences Center case pending in state court in Florida asserts claims on behalf of several hospital systems against the Company and other defendants, and this matter is scheduled for jury trial beginning on September 18, 2025.
The Company has been responding to subpoenas, information requests, and investigations from governmental entities related to nationwide controlled substance dispensing and distribution practices involving opioids.
Wal-Mart Canada Corp. and certain other subsidiaries of the Company have been named as defendants in
two
putative class action complaints filed in Canada related to distribution practices involving opioids. These matters remain pending.
Department of Justice Opioid Civil Litigation.
On December 22, 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company unlawfully dispensed controlled substances from its pharmacies and unlawfully distributed controlled substances to those pharmacies. The complaint alleges that this conduct resulted in violations of the Controlled Substances Act. The DOJ is seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief. On March 11, 2024, the Court granted in-part Walmart's motion to dismiss by dismissing the entirety of the DOJ's claims related to distribution and dismissing the DOJ's claims arising under one of the DOJ's two dispensing liability theories. The DOJ's claims arising under its other dispensing liability theory remain pending. Trial is scheduled for November 2027.
Opioid-Related Securities Class Actions.
The Company is the subject of
two
securities class actions alleging violations of the federal securities laws regarding the Company's disclosures with respect to opioids purportedly on behalf of a class of investors who acquired Walmart stock from March 31, 2017 through December 22, 2020. Those actions were filed in the U.S. District
12
Table of Contents
Court for the District of Delaware in 2021 and later consolidated. On April 8, 2024, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss these actions. The plaintiffs appealed, and on August 29, 2025, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of these actions.
False Claims Act Litigation.

On August 23, 2019, a qui tam action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. The action was partially unsealed on April 30, 2024 after the federal government declined to intervene. The DOJ informed the Company of its decision not to intervene on June 20, 2024. On July 25, 2024, the Court transferred the litigation to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. On January 9, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on behalf of
two
former pharmacists of the Company as relators that alleges the Company violated the Controlled Substances Act and state pharmacy regulations and that such conduct constitutes violations of the federal False Claims Act. The Company has filed a renewed motion to dismiss that is currently pending with the Court.
Other Legal Proceedings
Asda Equal Value Claims.
Asda, formerly a subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant in certain equal value claims that began in 2008 and are proceeding in the United Kingdom before an Employment Tribunal in Manchester and before the High Court. Claims have been brought by approximately
70,000
current and former Asda store employees who allege their work is of equal value to the work done by employees in Asda's distribution centers and that the difference in pay and conditions between the different jobs is not objectively justified. Additional employees may assert claims in the future. The legal proceedings to consider these equal value claims are in
three
phases, and the first phase is complete. Certain claims remain under consideration in the second phase. On January 31, 2025, the Employment Tribunal issued a ruling that certain of the claims are permitted to advance to the third phase. The hearing on the third phase is scheduled to begin on November 23, 2026. There are factual and legal defenses to the equal value claims, and the Company intends to vigorously defend them. Subsequent to the divestiture of Asda in February 2021, the Company continues to oversee the conduct of the defense of these claims. While potential liability for these claims remains with Asda, the Company has agreed to provide indemnification with respect to certain of these claims up to a contractually determined amount. The Company cannot predict the number of such claims that may ultimately be filed and cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise related to these proceedings. Accordingly, the Company can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of these matters.
Money Transfer Agent Services Matters.
The Company has responded to grand jury subpoenas issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on behalf of the DOJ seeking documents regarding the Company's consumer fraud prevention program and anti-money laundering compliance related to the Company's money transfer services, where Walmart is an agent. The most recent subpoena was issued in August 2020. Walmart's responses to DOJ's subpoenas have been complete since 2021. While it continues to cooperate with the DOJ's review, the Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. The Company can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of this matter and cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise. Accordingly, the Company can provide no assurance that its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
The Company has also responded to civil investigative demands from the United States Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") in connection with the FTC's investigation related to money transfers and the Company's anti-fraud program in its capacity as an agent. On June 28, 2022, the FTC filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that Walmart violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule regarding its money transfer agent services and is requesting non-monetary relief and civil penalties. Following rulings on Walmart's motion to dismiss, the FTC filed an amended complaint on June 30, 2023. On July 3, 2024, the Court granted in part Walmart's motion to dismiss the amended complaint by dismissing with prejudice the claims under the Telemarketing Sales Rule but denying the motion to dismiss with respect to claims for injunctive relief under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. On October 18, 2024, the Court certified its rulings on the motions to dismiss for interlocutory appeal and stayed discovery. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals accepted the matter for interlocutory appeal. The FTC and the Company agreed to resolve this matter pursuant to a Stipulated Order for Injunction and Monetary Judgment entered June 23, 2025. Pursuant to this settlement and without admitting liability, the Company agreed to pay $
10
 million and comply with certain laws through its ongoing anti-fraud program for a period of
three years
. The appeal was dismissed on June 25, 2025.
Driver Platform Matters.
The Company has been responding to subpoenas, information requests and investigations from, and is in discussions with, the FTC and State Attorneys General, regarding payment and operational practices, with respect to its driver platform. The Company has also been responding to subpoenas, information requests and investigations from governmental entities with respect to the independent contractor classification of drivers regarding its driver platform. The Company is also defending putative class and representative action civil litigation relating to driver classification and defending other civil litigation and arbitration claims in connection with its driver platform. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters. However, the Company can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of these matters and cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise. Accordingly, the Company can provide no assurance that its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
Mexico Antitrust Matter
. On October 6, 2023, the Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica of México ("COFECE") notified the main Mexican operating subsidiary of Wal-Mart de México, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Walmex"), a majority owned
13
Table of Contents
subsidiary of the Company, that COFECE's Investigatory Authority ("IA") had recommended the initiation of a quasi-judicial administrative process against Walmex's subsidiary for alleged relative monopolistic practices in connection with the supply and wholesale distribution of certain consumer goods, retail marketing practices of such consumer goods and related services. On December 12, 2024, after Walmex provided defenses, produced expert evidence and participated in a hearing, COFECE issued a split decision that Walmex's subsidiary had engaged in a single relative monopolistic practice in relation to the negotiation of
two
types of contributions with its suppliers. The resolution imposed a monetary penalty on Walmex's subsidiary in the amount of $
93.4
 million pesos (approximately $
5
 million U.S. dollars) and certain non-structural conduct measures relating to the
two
prohibited types of supplier contributions (while recognizing that other supplier contributions can continue). On January 6, 2025, Walmex's subsidiary challenged COFECE's resolution through an appeal in the specialized federal courts. Until the appeal is resolved, Walmex's subsidiary will operate in compliance with COFECE's ruling. Payment of the monetary penalty is stayed until the lawsuit is resolved.
Foreign Direct Investment Matters.

In July 2021, the Directorate of Enforcement in India issued a show cause notice to Flipkart Private Limited and one of its subsidiaries ("Flipkart"), and to unrelated companies and individuals, including certain current and former shareholders and directors of Flipkart. The notice requests the recipients to show cause as to why further proceedings under India's Foreign Direct Investment rules and regulations (the "Rules") should not be initiated against them based on alleged violations during the period from 2009 to 2015, prior to the Company's acquisition of a majority stake in Flipkart in 2018 (the "Notice"), in addition to more recent requests for information from the Directorate of Enforcement to Flipkart for periods prior and subsequent to April 2016 regarding the Rules, including the most recent request in April 2025 (the "Requests"). The Notice is an initial stage of proceedings under the Rules which could, depending upon the conclusions at the end of the initial stage, lead to a hearing to consider the merits of the allegations described in the Notice. If a hearing is initiated, whether with respect to the Notice or from further proceedings related to the Requests, and if it is determined that violations of the Rules occurred, then the regulatory authority has the authority to impose monetary and/or non-monetary relief, such as share ownership restrictions. Flipkart has been responding to the Notice and, if the matter progresses to a consideration of the merits of the allegations described in the Notice, Flipkart intends to defend against the allegations vigorously. Due to the fact that the process regarding the Notice is in the early stages, the Company is unable to predict whether the Notice will lead to a hearing on the merits or, if it does, the final outcome of the resulting proceedings, as well as whether any further proceedings will arise with respect to the Requests. The Company cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise from these matters and can provide no assurance as to the scope or outcome of any proceeding that might result from the Notice or the Requests, or the amount of the proceeds the Company may receive in indemnification from individuals and entities that sold shares to the Company under the 2018 agreement for the period prior to the date the Company acquired its majority stake in Flipkart, and further can provide no assurance that its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
India Antitrust Matter.
On January 13, 2020, the Competition Commission of India ("CCI") ordered its Director General (the "DG") to investigate certain matters alleging competition law violations by certain subsidiaries of Flipkart in India and other parties. On September 13, 2024, those subsidiaries received a non-confidential version of the DG's Investigation Report (the "Report"), alleging certain competition law violations. CCI is not bound by the Report, and will conduct its independent analysis of the allegations, including hearing objections from the subsidiaries and other parties before issuing its final order in the matter, which could include monetary and non-monetary relief. CCI's final order would also be subject to appropriate appellate proceedings. The Company can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of this matter, cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise, and can provide no assurance that its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
Note 7.
Segments and Disaggregated Revenue
Segments
The Company is engaged in the operation of retail and wholesale stores and clubs, as well as eCommerce websites and mobile applications, located throughout the U.S., Africa, Canada, Central America, Chile, China, India and Mexico. The Company's operations are conducted in
three
reportable segments: Walmart U.S., Walmart International and Sam's Club U.S. The Company defines its segments as those operations whose results the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Company's Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. The Company sells similar individual products and services in each of its segments. It is impractical to segregate and identify revenues for each of these individual products and services.
The Walmart U.S. segment includes the Company's mass merchandising concept in the U.S., as well as eCommerce, which includes omnichannel initiatives and certain other business offerings such as advertising services. The Walmart International segment consists of the Company's operations outside of the U.S., as well as eCommerce, which includes omnichannel initiatives. The Sam's Club U.S. segment includes the warehouse membership clubs in the U.S., as well as eCommerce, which includes omnichannel initiatives. Corporate and support consists of corporate overhead and other items not allocated to any of the Company's segments.
14
Table of Contents
The Company measures the profit or loss of its segments using operating income. The CODM uses operating income to allocate resources across the reportable segments as part of the Company's long-range and annual planning processes, and to evaluate planned versus actual results when assessing segment operating performance. From time to time, the Company may revise the measurement of each segment's operating income, including any corporate overhead allocations, and presentation of significant segment expenses, as determined by the information regularly reviewed by its CODM. The operating results of each reportable segment, including the mix of cost of sales and operating, selling, general and administrative expenses, are not directly comparable due to differences in business model, format and channel mix. Additionally, the operating results of each reportable segment may not be comparable to those of other retailers.
Information for the Company's segments, as well as for Corporate and support, including the reconciliation to income before income taxes, is provided as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
This discussion, which presents Walmart Inc.'s ("Walmart," the "Company," "our," "us" or "we") results for periods occurring in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 ("fiscal 2026") and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 ("fiscal 2025"), should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, and the accompanying notes included in
Part I, Item 1
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 2025, the accompanying notes and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2025.
Recent Developments, Macroeconomic Conditions and Potential Impacts
We expect continued uncertainty in our business and the global economy due to tariffs and trade restrictions; inflationary trends; fluctuations in global currencies; swings in macroeconomic conditions and their effect on consumer confidence; volatility in employment trends; and supply chain pressures, any of which may impact our results. While we operate in a highly dynamic tariff environment, less than one third of what we sell in the U.S. is imported, with most of our imports coming from China, Mexico, Vietnam, India and Canada. We are committed to helping customers save money and live better through everyday low prices, supported by everyday low costs. Our operating results are influenced in part by our sourcing, pricing, merchandising, inventory management and other strategies in response to cost increases, which are further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Information on certain risks, factors, and uncertainties that can affect our operating results and an investment in our securities can be found herein under "
Item 1A. Risk Factors
" and "
Item 5. Other Information
."
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted, introducing a series of corporate tax changes in the U.S., including 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property and full expensing for research and development expenditures. The impacts of the Tax Act are reflected in our results for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, and there was no material impact to our income tax expense or effective tax rate. We expect certain provisions will decrease cash taxes paid in the current fiscal year and may change the timing of cash tax payments in future periods.
For a detailed discussion on results of operations by reportable segment, refer to "
Results of Operations
" below.
Company Performance Metrics
We are committed to helping customers save money and live better through everyday low prices, supported by everyday low costs. At times, we adjust our business strategies to maintain and strengthen our competitive positions in the countries in which we operate. We define our financial priorities as follows:
•
Growth - serve customers through a seamless omnichannel experience;
•
Margin - improve our operating income margin through productivity initiatives as well as category and business mix; and
•
Returns - improve our Return on Investment through margin improvement and disciplined capital spend.
Growth
Our objective of prioritizing growth means we will focus on serving customers and members however they want to shop through our omnichannel business model. This includes increasing comparable store and club sales through increasing membership at Sam's Club U.S. and through Walmart+, accelerating eCommerce sales growth and expansion of omnichannel initiatives that complement our strategy.
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, including eCommerce sales, for a particular period over the corresponding period in the previous year. The retail industry generally reports comparable sales using the retail calendar (also known as the 4-5-4 calendar). To be consistent with the retail industry, we provide comparable sales using the retail calendar in our quarterly earnings releases. However, when we discuss our comparable sales below, we are referring to our calendar comparable sales calculated using our fiscal calendar, which may result in differences when compared to comparable sales using the retail calendar. We focus on comparable sales in the U.S. as we believe it is a meaningful metric within the context of the U.S. retail market where there is a single currency, one inflationary market and generally consistent store and club formats from year to year.

Calendar comparable sales, as well as the impact of fuel, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

Total U.S. 4.4 % 4.3 % (0.5) % (0.1) % 3.8 % 4.6 % (0.4) % (0.1) %

Comparable sales in the U.S., including fuel, increased 4.4% and 3.8% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The Walmart U.S. segment had comparable sales growth of 4.7% and for 3.9% the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, driven by growth in average ticket and transactions, reflecting strength in all merchandise categories. The Walmart U.S. segment's eCommerce net sales positively contributed approximately 4.0% and 3.7% to comparable sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively. This growth reflects continued strength in customer and Walmart+ member engagement with omnichannel offerings, which was primarily driven by store-fulfilled pickup and delivery.
Comparable sales in the Sam's Club U.S. segment increased 3.3% and 3.1% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, driven by growth in unit volumes with strength in transactions, reflecting strong sales in grocery, health and wellness, and general merchandise. The Sam's Club U.S. segment's eCommerce net sales positively contributed approximately 3.4% to comparable sales for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, which outpaced the total segment growth as a result of lower fuel sales. This growth reflects continued strength in member engagement with omnichannel offerings.
Margin
Our objective of prioritizing margin focuses on growth by driving incremental margin accretion through a combination of productivity improvements, as well as category and business mix. We invest in technology and process improvements to increase productivity, manage inventory and reduce costs, and we operate with discipline by managing expenses and optimizing the efficiency of how we work. We measure operating discipline through expense leverage, which we define as net sales growing at a faster rate than operating, selling, general and administrative ("operating") expenses. Additionally, we focus on our mix of businesses, including expanding our ecosystem in higher margin areas, such as digital advertising and marketplace. Our objective is to achieve operating income leverage, which we define as growing operating income at a faster rate than net sales.

Gross profit defined as net sales less cost of sales.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales ("gross profit rate") increased 4 and 8 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily due to the Walmart U.S. segment, driven by disciplined inventory management and growth in higher margin businesses, partially offset by mix shifts into lower margin merchandise categories. Additionally, the increases were partially offset by ongoing channel and format mix shifts in the Walmart International segment.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 64 and 35 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year, which reflect charges of $0.4 billion related to certain legal matters. The increases for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 were also impacted by higher self-insured general liability claims expense in the U.S. of approximately $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, influenced by rising costs to resolve claims across retail and related industries.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased 58 and 27 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, primarily due to the factors described above.

Returns
As we execute our financial framework, we believe our return on capital will improve over time. We measure return on capital with our return on investment and free cash flow metrics. In addition, we provide returns in the form of share repurchases and dividends, which are discussed in the
Liquidity and Capital Resources
section.
Return on Assets and 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("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 deploys 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 metric because we calculate ROI using financial measures that exclude and include amounts that are included and excluded 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 averaged 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.
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:

Table of Contents
ROA was 8.3% and 6.4% for the trailing 12 months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in ROA was primarily due to an increase in net income as a result of net increases in the fair value of our equity and other investments combined with higher operating income, offset by an increase in average total assets due to higher purchases of property and equipment. ROI was flat at 15.1% for the trailing 12 months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 as a result of increased operating income, primarily due to improvements in business performance, offset by an increase in average invested capital due to higher purchases of property and equipment.
Capital Allocation
Our strategy includes allocating our capital to higher-return areas such as automation and investments in stores and clubs. The following table provides additional detail regarding our capital expenditures:
(Amounts in millions) Six Months Ended July 31,
Allocation of Capital Expenditures 2025 2024
Supply chain, customer-facing initiatives, technology and other $ 6,688 $ 5,976
Store and club remodels 2,917 3,189
New stores and clubs, including expansions and relocations 577 127
Total U.S. 10,182 9,292
Walmart International 1,227 1,215
Total Capital Expenditures $ 11,409 $ 10,507

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. See
Liquidity and Capital Resources
for discussions of GAAP metrics including net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities.
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. 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 Condensed 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 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.
Six Months Ended July 31,
(Amounts in millions) 2025 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 18,352 $ 16,357
Payments for property and equipment (11,409) (10,507)
Free cash flow $ 6,943 $ 5,850
Net cash used in investing activities (1) $ (11,199) $ (10,128)
Net cash used in financing activities (6,993) (6,945)

(1)
Net cash used in investing activities includes payments for property and equipment, which is also included in our computation of free cash flow.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.4 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $2.0 billion when compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to timing of certain payments, lower cash tax payments and increased cash provided by operating income. Free cash flow for the six months ended July 31, 2025 was $6.9 billion, which represents an increase of $1.1 billion when compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. The increase in free cash flow was due to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities described above, partially offset by an increase of $0.9 billion in capital expenditures to support our investment strategy.

Our total revenues
increased
$8.1 billion or 4.8% and $12.2 billion or 3.7% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily due to strong positive comparable sales in our U.S. segments and international markets driven by growth in average ticket and transactions, with strength in eCommerce. Net sales growth across channels also reflected strong sales in grocery and health and wellness in our U.S. segments. Net sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 were negatively affected by $1.5 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, in currency exchange rate fluctuations. Membership and other income increased $0.1 billion or 5.4% and $0.1 billion or 4.5% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, primarily due to strong growth in membership fee income globally, partially offset by decreases in other income items.
Gross profit rate increased 4 and 8 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily due to the Walmart U.S. segment, driven by disciplined inventory management and growth in higher margin businesses, partially offset by mix shifts into lower margin merchandise categories. Additionally, the increases were partially offset by ongoing channel and format mix shifts in the Walmart International segment.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 64 and 35 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year, which reflect charges of $0.4 billion related to certain legal matters. The increases for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 were also impacted by higher self-insured general liability claims expense in the U.S. of approximately $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, influenced by rising costs to resolve claims across retail and related industries.
Other gains and losses consist of certain non-operating items, such as the change in the fair value of our investments and gains or losses on business dispositions, which by their nature can fluctuate from period to period. Other gains and losses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 consisted of net gains of $2.7 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, compared to net losses of $1.2 billion and $0.4 billion for the same periods in the previous fiscal year. These net gains and losses primarily consisted of changes in fair value of our equity and other investments driven by changes in their underlying stock prices.
Our effective income tax rate was 23.3% and 23.0% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, compared to 24.2% and 24.4% for the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The decrease in effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax impact on changes in fair value of our investments. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate as a result of various factors, including changes in our assessment of unrecognized tax benefits, valuation allowances, business operations, acquisitions, investments, entry into new businesses and geographies, intercompany transactions, changes in tax law, changes in the administrative practices, principles, and interpretations related to tax, and the mix and size of earnings among our U.S. operations and international operations, which are subject to statutory rates that may be different than the U.S. statutory rate.

Net sales for the Walmart U.S. segment increased $5.6 billion or 4.8% and $9.1 billion or 4.0% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were due to comparable sales of 4.7% and 3.9% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, driven by growth in average ticket and transactions, reflecting strength in all merchandise categories. The Walmart U.S. segment's eCommerce net sales positively contributed approximately 4.0% and 3.7% to comparable sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively. This growth reflects continued strength in customer and Walmart+ member engagement with omnichannel offerings, which was primarily driven by store-fulfilled pickup and delivery.
Membership and other income increased 7.5% and 5.6% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, primarily driven by double-digit percentage growth in membership fee income from Walmart+.
Gross profit rate increased 26 basis points for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily driven by disciplined inventory management and growth in higher margin businesses, partially offset by mix shifts into lower margin merchandise categories.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 43 and 26 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily due to higher self-insured general liability claims expense, increased depreciation expense related to our continued capital investments, as well as VIZIO operating costs following the acquisition in December 2024.
As a result of the factors discussed above, operating income increased $0.1 billion and $0.5 billion for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year.

Net sales for the Walmart International segment increased $1.6 billion or 5.5% and $1.6 billion or 2.6% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily due to positive comparable sales across our international markets, including strength in eCommerce, partially offset by negative fluctuations in currency exchange rates of $1.5 billion and $3.9 billion for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively.
Gross profit rate decreased 80 and 73 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The decreases were primarily driven by ongoing channel and format mix shifts, as well as strategic growth investments in price and delivery capabilities, partially offset by growth in higher margin businesses.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 17 basis points and was flat for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to strong sales as well as format mix shifts, partially offset by strategic growth investments, including investments in associate wages in our Mexico and Central America and Canada markets.
As a result of the factors discussed above, operating income decreased $0.1 billion and $0.4 billion for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year.

We believe the Excluding Fuel information is useful to investors because it permits investors to understand the effect of the Sam's Club U.S. segment's fuel sales on its results of operations, which are impacted by the volatility of fuel prices. Volatility in fuel prices may continue to impact the operating results of the Sam's Club U.S. segment in the future.
Net sales for the Sam's Club U.S. segment increased $0.8 billion or 3.4% and $1.4 billion or 3.2% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily due to comparable sales, including fuel, of 3.3% and 3.1% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, driven by growth in unit volumes with strength in transactions, reflecting strong sales in grocery, health and wellness, and general merchandise. Sam's Club U.S. eCommerce net sales positively contributed approximately 3.4% to comparable sales for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, which outpaced the total segment comparable sales as a result of lower fuel sales driven by lower fuel prices. This growth reflects continued strength in member engagement with omnichannel offerings.
Membership and other income increased 6.6% and 7.4% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were due to growth in the membership base and Plus penetration.
Gross profit rate decreased 11 basis points and increased 12 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. The decrease for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was primarily due to the impact of reorganization charges related to strategic supply chain decisions of $0.1 billion, as well as channel mix changes partially offset by lower markdowns and operational efficiencies. The increase for the six months ended July 31, 2025 was primarily due to lower markdowns and operational efficiencies and higher margins in fuel, partially offset by channel mix changes as well as the impact of reorganization charges described above.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 44 and 35 basis points for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to lower fuel sales combined with increased self-insured general liability claims expense, as well as continued technology and associate wage investments.
As a result of the factors discussed above, operating income decreased $0.1 billion for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and decreased slightly for the six months ended July 31, 2025, when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
The strength and stability of our operations have historically supplied us with a significant source of liquidity. Our cash flows provided by operating activities, supplemented with our long-term debt and short-term borrowings, have been sufficient to fund our operations while allowing us to invest in activities that support the long-term growth of our operations. Generally, some or all of the remaining available cash flow has been used to fund dividends on our common stock and share repurchases. We believe our sources of liquidity will continue to be sufficient to fund operations, finance our investment activities, pay dividends and fund our share repurchases for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Six Months Ended July 31,
(Amounts in millions) 2025 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 18,352 $ 16,357

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2025 increased $2.0 billion when compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to timing of certain payments, lower cash tax payments and increased cash provided by operating income.
Cash Equivalents and Working Capital Deficit
Cash and cash equivalents were $9.4 billion and $8.8 billion at July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our working capital deficit was $21.5 billion as of July 31, 2025, which increased when compared to the $18.8 billion working capital deficit as of July 31, 2024. The increase in our working capital deficit was primarily driven by the timing of certain payments described above and an increase in long-term debt due within one year, partially offset by an increase in inventories and receivables primarily related to sales growth. We generally operate with a working capital deficit due to our efficient use of cash in funding operations, consistent access to the capital markets and returns provided to our shareholders in the form of cash dividends and share repurchases.
As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, may not be freely transferable to the U.S. due to local laws or other restrictions or are subject to the approval of the noncontrolling interest shareholders.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Six Months Ended July 31,
(Amounts in millions) 2025 2024
Net cash used in investing activities $ (11,199) $ (10,128)

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2025 increased $1.1 billion when compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to increased payments for property and equipment and the change in other investing activities related to certain short-term investments, partially offset by net proceeds received from sales of certain strategic investments.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Six Months Ended July 31,
(Amounts in millions) 2025 2024
Net cash used in financing activities $ (6,993) $ (6,945)

Net cash used in financing activities increased slightly for the six months ended July 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to increased share repurchases, lower short-term borrowings in the current fiscal year and higher dividends paid, primarily offset by new long-term debt issued in the current fiscal year as well as lower debt repayments.
In April 2025, the Company renewed and extended its existing 364-day revolving credit facility of $10.0 billion as well as its five-year credit facility of $5.0 billion. In total, we had committed lines of credit in the U.S. of $15.0 billion at July 31, 2025, all undrawn.
Long-term Debt
The following table provides the changes in our long-term debt for the six months ended July 31, 2025:
(Amounts in millions) Long-term debt due within one year Long-term debt Total
Balances as of February 1, 2025 $ 2,598 $ 33,401 $ 35,999

Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt are net of deferred loan costs and any related discount or premium.
During the six months ended July 31, 2025, our total outstanding long-term debt increased $3.7 billion, primarily due to the issuance of new long-term debt in April 2025. Refer to

Dividends
Effective February 20, 2025, the Company approved the fiscal 2026 annual dividend of $0.94 per share, a 13% increase over the fiscal 2025 annual dividend of $0.83 per share. For fiscal 2026, the annual dividend was or will be paid in four quarterly installments of $0.235 per share, according to the following record and payable dates:
Record Date Payable Date
March 21, 2025 April 7, 2025
May 9, 2025 May 27, 2025
August 15, 2025 September 2, 2025
December 12, 2025 January 5, 2026

The dividend installments payable on April 7, 2025 and May 27, 2025 were paid as scheduled.
Company Share Repurchase Program
From time to time, the Company repurchases shares of its common stock under share repurchase programs authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. All repurchases made during the six months ended July 31, 2025 were made under the current $20 billion share repurchase program approved in November 2022, which has no expiration date or other restrictions limiting the period over which the Company can make repurchases. As of July 31, 2025, authorization for $5.9 billion of share repurchases remained under the share repurchase program. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status.
We regularly review share repurchase activity and consider several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, current cash needs, capacity for leverage, cost of borrowings, our results of operations and the market price of our common stock. We anticipate that a majority of the ongoing share repurchase program will be funded through the Company's free cash flow. The following table provides, on a settlement date basis, share repurchase information for the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024:
Six Months Ended July 31,
(Amounts in millions, except per share data) 2025 2024
Total number of shares repurchased 67.4 33.3
Average price paid per share $ 92.03 $ 62.15
Total amount paid for share repurchases $ 6,200 $ 2,072

During the six months ended July 31, 2025, the Company repurchased $6.2 billion in shares of its common stock, an increase of $4.1 billion as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by opportunistic prices during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 as part of the Company's long-term strategy.
Material Cash Requirements
Material cash requirements from operating activities primarily consist of inventory purchases, employee related costs, taxes, interest and other general operating expenses, which we expect to be primarily satisfied by our cash from operations. Other material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations include short-term borrowings, long-term debt and related interest payments, leases and purchase obligations.
Capital Resources
We believe our cash flows from operations, current cash position, short-term borrowings and access to capital markets will continue to be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements and contractual obligations, which includes funding seasonal buildups in merchandise inventories and funding our capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend payments and share repurchases.
We have strong commercial paper and long-term debt ratings that have enabled and should continue to enable us to refinance our debt as it becomes due at favorable rates in capital markets. As of July 31, 2025, the ratings assigned to our commercial paper and rated series of our outstanding long-term debt were as follows:
Rating agency Commercial paper Long-term debt
Standard & Poor's A-1+ AA
Moody's Investors Service P-1 Aa2
Fitch Ratings F1+ AA

27
Table of Contents
Credit rating agencies review their ratings periodically and, therefore, the credit ratings assigned to us by each agency may be subject to revision at any time. Accordingly, we are not able to predict whether our current credit ratings will remain consistent over time. Factors that could affect our credit ratings include changes in our operating performance, the general economic environment, conditions in the retail industry, our financial position, including our total debt and capitalization, and changes in our business strategy. Any downgrade of our credit ratings by a credit rating agency could increase our future borrowing costs or impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us. In addition, any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability to access the commercial paper markets with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, potentially requiring us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing. The credit rating agency ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our commercial paper or debt securities. Each rating may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Moreover, each credit rating is specific to the security to which it applies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be timely disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management is necessarily required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in unconsolidated entities. Since we do not control or manage those entities, our controls and procedures with respect to those entities are substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
In the ordinary course of business, we review our internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our systems and processes to improve such controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, updating existing systems, automating manual processes, standardizing controls globally, migrating certain processes to our shared services organizations and increasing monitoring controls. We are continuing to upgrade our financial systems globally, and modernize functions across the business which will impact our internal control over financial reporting.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. There has been no significant change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

II. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
: Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed an applied threshold not to exceed $1 million.
In October 2023, the Company received a Finding of Violation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") alleging violations of the Clean Air Act in connection with the Company's refrigeration leak detection and repair program at certain of its facilities. The Company is cooperating with the EPA in its investigation. The EPA may seek to impose monetary and non-monetary penalties for the alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of this matter, but the EPA could seek penalties in excess of $1 million. Although the Company does not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, the Company can provide no assurance that its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, under the caption "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, which risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. No material change in the risk factors discussed in such Form 10-K has occurred. Such risk factors do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that apply to all companies operating in the U.S. and globally. 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
From time to time, the Company repurchases shares of its common stock under share repurchase programs authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. All repurchases made during the three months ended July 31, 2025 were made under the current $20 billion share repurchase program approved in November 2022, which has no expiration date or other restrictions limiting the period over which the Company can make repurchases. As of July 31, 2025, authorization for $5.9 billion of share repurchases remained under the share repurchase program. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status.
The Company regularly reviews its share repurchase activity and considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, current cash needs, capacity for leverage, cost of borrowings, its results of operations and the market price of its common stock. Share repurchase activity under our share repurchase program, on a trade date basis, for the three months ended July 31, 2025, was as follows:
Fiscal Period Total Number of Shares Purchased Average Price Paid per Share Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1) (billions)
May 1 - 31, 2025 9,319,341 $ 97.39 9,319,341 $ 6.5

Item 5. Other Information
Security
Trading Plans
of Directors and Executive Officers
None of the Company's directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as such terms are defined under Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K, during the Company's fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025.
Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires an issuer to disclose certain information in its periodic reports if it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings with individuals or entities subject to specific U.S. economic sanctions during the reporting period.
The Company has identified transactions between Builders, which specializes in retail home improvement and construction materials and is a division of its subsidiary Massmart Retail (Pty) Ltd., and a customer that appears to be the Embassy of Iran in Pretoria, South Africa (the "Embassy"). The Company recently became aware that beginning in June 2021 and continuing during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, the Company had multiple ordinary retail sales transactions to the Embassy of general construction materials valued at approximately $9,300, based on current exchange rates, including a small amount in August 2025. We are unable to accurately calculate the net profit attributable to these sales transactions, but it would be significantly less than the gross sales amount. The Company does not plan to continue selling to the Embassy in the future.
