Walmart (WMT) 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Walmart U.S. Q1 comp sales¹ grew 3.4% and Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales grew 37%,

Company reports Q1 FY'20 GAAP EPS of $1.33; Adjusted EPS² of $1.13, led by strength at Walmart U.S.

	Total revenue was $123.9 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion, or 1.0%. Excluding currency2, total revenue was $125.8 billion, an increase of $3.1 billion, or 2.5%.	"We're changing to enable more innovation, speed and productivity, and we're seeing it in our results. We're especially pleased with the combination of comparable sales growth from stores and eCommerce in the U.S. Our team is demonstrating an ability to serve customers today while building new capabilities for the future, and I want to thank them for a strong start to the year." Doug McMillon President and CEO, Walmart
	Walmart U.S. comp sales of 3.4% marks the best Q1 comp in 9 years and is the fourth consecutive quarter above 3%. Operating income was better than expected, up 5.5%.
	Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales growth of 37% reflects strong growth in online grocery, as well as the Home and Fashion categories on Walmart.com.
	Sam's Club comp sales1 increased 0.3%, and eCommerce sales grew about 28%. Reduced tobacco sales negatively affected comp sales by 270 basis points.
	Net sales at Walmart International were $28.8 billion, a decline of 4.9%. Excluding currency2, net sales were $30.6 billion, an increase of 1.2%.
	Operating income declined 4.1%, or 3.0% in constant currency2, which was better than planned as strong results from Walmart U.S. and Sam's Club were offset by the inclusion of Flipkart this year.
	Adjusted EPS2 excludes an unrealized gain, net of tax, of $0.20 on the company's equity investment in JD.com.

Comparable sales is a metric that indicates the performance of our existing stores and clubs and it is important to review in conjunction with the Company's financial results reported in accordance with GAAP.  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 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 or for countries experiencing hyperinflation. 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 months endedApril 30, 2019.

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 $3.6 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2019, which declined when compared to $5.2 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in inventory related to accelerated buying in certain categories, the timing of sell through for summer seasonal merchandise, increased eCommerce fulfillment center mirroring, and the timing of payments. We generated free cash flow of $1.4 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2019, which declined when compared to $3.3 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2018 due to the same reasons as the decline in net cash provided by operating activities, as well as $0.4 billion in increased capital expenditures.

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.

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.

	Three Months Ended
	April 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2019			2018
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,563		$	5,161

¹ "Net cash used in investing activities" includes payments for property and equipment, which is also included in our computation of free cash flow.

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 not excluded 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 for 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.

We have calculated Adjusted EPS for the three months by adjusting EPS for the unrealized gains and losses on the company's equity investment in JD.com. We adjust for these unrealized gains and losses because although the Company's investment in JD.com was a strategic decision for the company's retail operations in China, management's measurement of that strategy is primarily focused on the Walmart China financial results rather than the investment value of JD.com. Additionally, management does not forecast changes in fair value of its equity investments. Accordingly, management adjusts EPS for the unrealized JD.com investment gains/losses.

	Three Months Ended April 30, 2019
Diluted earnings per share:
Reported EPS						$	1.33
Adjustments:	Pre-Tax Impact			Tax Impact1		Net Impact
Unrealized (gains) and losses on JD.com investment	$	(0.27	)	$	0.07	$	(0.20	)
Adjusted EPS						$	1.13

¹ Calculated based on nature of item, including any realizable deductions, and statutory rate in effect for relevant jurisdictions.

11

As previously disclosed in our fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 press release, we have calculated Adjusted EPS for the three months ended April 30, 2018 by adjusting EPS for the following: (1) unrealized gains and losses on JD.com, and (2) adjustment to the provisional amount recorded in Q4 fiscal 2018 related to Tax Reform. The Company completed its accounting for Tax Reform during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is EPS for the three months ended April 30, 2018.

	Three Months Ended April 30, 2018
Diluted earnings per share:
Reported EPS			$0.72
Adjustments:	Pre-Tax Impact	Tax Impact1	Net Impact
Unrealized (gains) and losses on JD.com investment	0.62	(0.15)	0.47
Adjustment to provisional amount for Tax Reform	—	(0.05)	(0.05)
