Walmart U.S. - quarterly financial highlights 9 Sales • Comp sales1 increased 1.8% led by strong comp traffic of 1.3%. On a 2-year stacked basis, comp sales and traffic were up 3.4% and 2.5%, respectively. • Strength in grocery continued as food categories delivered the strongest quarterly comp sales performance in 5 years. • Slight market inflation in food, excluding price investments, benefited food comp sales by approximately 30 basis points. • Multi-channel sales growth was strong, including online grocery and general merchandise pickup in stores. Gross Margin • Gross margin rate declined 5 basis points as savings from procuring merchandise benefited the margin rate, but were more than offset by the mix effects from our growing e-commerce business, as well as continued investments in price. Expenses • Operating expenses increased 3.9%, primarily due to investments in e-commerce and technology. Physical stores leveraged expenses for the 2nd consecutive quarter. Inventory • Total inventory declined approximately 0.6%, and comp store inventory declined approximately 3.8%, while in-stock levels remained high. Format growth • We had 16 Supercenter net openings in the period, including conversions and relocations, and one Neighborhood Market net opening. We also remodeled 180 stores. • As of the end of Q2, online grocery was offered in over 900 locations, which represents about 230 additional locations since Q1. 1 Comp sales for the 13-week period ended July 28, 2017, excluding fuel. Including fuel, Walmart U.S. comparable sales grew 1.9%. See press release located at www.stock.walmart.com and reconciliations at the end of this presentation regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

Walmart International - quarterly financial highlights 12 Sales • The divestitures of Yihaodian and Suburbia created a headwind to sales of nearly $520 million when compared to last year. • Given the one-month reporting lag in markets except Canada, the timing of Easter benefited sales in some markets. • 9 of 11 markets delivered positive comp sales, including the U.K. • Currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted net sales by $1.0 billion. Operating income • The net impact from the divestitures of Yihaodian and Suburbia benefited operating income by $415 million this year and $513 million last year in constant currency. Excluding these items, and on a constant currency basis, operating income increased 5.2 percent. In addition, we leveraged operating expenses during the quarter though an increased focus on expense management and store labor productivity. Inventory • Inventory grew at a slower rate than sales. 1 See press release located at www.stock.walmart.com and reconciliations at the end of this presentation regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP measures - ROI We include Return on Assets ("ROA"), which is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") as well as Return on Investment ("ROI") as measures to assess returns on assets. Management believes ROI is a meaningful measure 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 potential strategic initiatives with possible short-term impacts. We consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of ROI. ROA was 6.7 percent and 7.7 percent for the trailing twelve months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. ROI was 15.0 percent and 15.5 percent for the trailing twelve months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decline in ROA was primarily due to a decrease in operating income and the loss on extinguishment of debt. The decline in ROI was primarily due to our decrease in operating income. We define ROI as adjusted operating income (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 average amortization, less average accounts payable and average accrued liabilities for that period, plus a rent factor equal to the rent for the fiscal year or trailing 12 months multiplied by a factor of 8. When we have discontinued operations, we exclude the impact of the discontinued operations. Our calculation of ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROI using financial measures that exclude and include amounts that are included and excluded in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For example, we exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization from our reported operating income in calculating the numerator of our calculation of ROI. In addition, we include a factor of 8 for rent expense that estimates the hypothetical capitalization of our operating leases. As mentioned above, we consider return on assets to be the financial measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles most directly comparable to our calculation of ROI. ROI differs from ROA (which is consolidated net income for the period divided by average total assets for the period) because ROI: adjusts operating income to exclude certain expense items and adds interest income; adjusts total assets for the impact of accumulated depreciation and amortization, accounts payable and accrued liabilities; and incorporates a factor of rent to arrive at total invested capital. Because of the adjustments mentioned above, we believe ROI more accurately measures how we are deploying our key assets and is more meaningful to investors than ROA. 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. 20
Non-GAAP measures - ROI cont. 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: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Non-GAAP measures - free cash flow 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. We had net cash provided by operating activities of $11.4 billion and $14.9 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We generated free cash flow of $6.9 billion and $10.3 billion for the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decreases in net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were due to an increase in incentive payments and timing of other payments. Additionally, the six months ended July 31, 2016 included a greater benefit from our improvement in working capital management. 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. Additionally, 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. 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.

1 Change versus prior year comparable period. 2 Excludes currency exchange rate fluctuations related to acquisitions until the acquisitions are included in both comparable periods. Non-GAAP measures - constant currency 23 The term "currency exchange rates" refers to the currency exchange rates we use to convert the operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar ("non-USD entities") 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. 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 and without the impact of acquisitions of non-USD entities, if any, until such acquisitions are included in both comparable periods. The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to understand better Walmart's underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations or acquisitions of non-USD entities. 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, 2017.
