Sales
• Net sales increased 2.9%, or approximately $2.1 billion. Last year's Q1 net sales included an approximately 100 bps benefit from an extra day in
February 2016 due to a leap year.
• Comp sales1 increased 1.4% led by strong comp traffic of 1.5%. On a 2-year stacked basis, comp sales and traffic were up 2.4% and 3.0%,
respectively.
• E-commerce contributed approximately 80 bps to segment comp sales growth.
• Market deflation in food, excluding price investments, did not impact comp sales results this quarter.
• Strength in grocery partially offset softness in general merchandise categories due in part to the delay of customer income tax refunds.
Gross Margin
• Gross margin was flat as savings from procuring merchandise and the acceleration of post-holiday markdowns taken in the fourth quarter benefited
the margin rate, but were offset by investments in price and the mix effects from our growing e-commerce business.
Expenses
• Expenses increased 3.6% (14 bps) primarily due to investments in e-commerce and technology. While expenses were not leveraged for the overall
segment, expenses were leveraged in the stores.
Inventory
• Total inventory declined 3.3%, and comp store inventory declined 7.3%, while in-stock levels remain high.
Format growth
• Net openings of 12 Supercenters (including conversions and relocations) and net closings of 2 Neighborhood Markets.
• Remodeled 55 stores in Q1.
• As of the end of Q1, online grocery was offered in nearly 670 locations.
1 Comp sales for the 13-week period ended April 28, 2017, excluding fuel. Including fuel, Walmart U.S. comparable sales are 1.5%.

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 7.1 percent and 7.5 percent for the trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. ROI was 15.1 percent and 15.3 percent for the
trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The declines in ROA and ROI were 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.

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 $5.4 billion and $6.2 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We generated free cash flow of $3.4 billion and $4.0 billion for
the three months ended April 30, 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.
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.

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 months ended April 30, 2017.

The net sales and operating income of Sam's Club for the three months ended April 30, 2017, the percentage changes in
those financial measures from the respective comparable prior year period, comparable sales of Sam's Club and Walmart
U.S. for the 13-week period ended April 28, 2017 and projected comparable sales for the 13-week period ending July 28,
2017, in each case calculated by excluding fuel sales for such periods, are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the

measures from the respective comparable prior year period, comparable sales for the 13-week period ended April 28, 2017,
and projected comparable sales for the 13-week period ending July 28, 2017, in each case calculated by including fuel sales
for such period, are, respectively, the financial measures computed in accordance with GAAP most directly comparable to
the non-GAAP financial measures described above.
We believe that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures with respect to Sam’s Club and Walmart U.S.
described above provides useful information to investors regarding Walmart’s financial condition and results of operations
because that information permits investors to understand the effect of fuel sales, which are affected by the volatility of fuel
prices, on Sam's Club's net sales and operating income and on Sam's Club's and Walmart U.S.'s comparable sales for the
periods presented.
