Assignment 3
Use the Excel file “Assignment3Data” from Canvas to complete this assignment. The file contains the following
variables of interest from 10-Ks filed by retailers for their fiscal years from 2019 – 2023 (the most recent 5 years
available):
conm = company name
dlc = short-term debt
tic = ticker symbol
dltt = long-term debt
fiscal_year = fiscal year
ebit = earnings before interest and taxes
fiscal_year_end = fiscal year end date
invt = inventory
act = current assets
lct = current liabilities

cogs = cost of goods sold
xint = interest expense
Financial statement amounts are in millions of dollars.
Ratio Analysis
For each of the following ratios, create a line graph of your company’s ratio by fiscal year (x=fiscal year, y=ratio)
and include in the graph the line for the industry median ratio by fiscal year. Copy and paste your graph. [For the
industry median, use the median for each year from the Excel file (i.e., we will assume that the industry consists of
all the companies in the Excel file).] If you get a #DIV/0! error for the median of a ratio (because some firms have
rect=0 or xint=0), change the ratio value for the firm-years with the error to a blank cell.
1. Sales Growth Rate
2. ROE
3. Gross Profit Margin

BUSINESS
General
Walmart Inc. (“Walmart,” the “Company” or “we”) is a people-led, technology-powered omni-channel retailer dedicated to helping
people around the world save money and live better – anytime and anywhere – by providing the opportunity to shop in both retail
stores and through eCommerce, and to access our other service offerings. Through innovation, we strive to continuously improve a
customer-centric experience that seamlessly integrates our eCommerce and retail stores in an omni-channel offering that saves time for
our customers. Each week, we serve approximately 255 million customers who visit more than 10,500 stores and numerous
eCommerce websites in 19 countries.
Our strategy is to make every day easier for busy families, operate with discipline, sharpen our culture and become more digital, and
make trust a competitive advantage. Making life easier for busy families includes our commitment to price leadership, which has been
and will remain a cornerstone of our business, as well as increasing convenience to save our customers time. By leading on price, we
earn the trust of our customers every day by providing a broad assortment of quality merchandise and services at everyday low prices
(“EDLP”). EDLP is our pricing philosophy under which we price items at a low price every day so our customers trust that our prices
will not change under frequent promotional activity. Everyday low cost (“EDLC”) is our commitment to control expenses so our cost
savings can be passed along to our customers.
Our operations comprise three reportable segments: Walmart U.S., Walmart International and Sam’s Club. Our fiscal year ends on
January 31 for our United States (“U.S.”) and Canadian operations. We consolidate all other operations generally using a one-month lag
and on a calendar year basis. Our discussion is as of, and for the fiscal years ended, January 31, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”), January 31, 2023
(“fiscal 2023”) and January 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”). During fiscal 2024, we generated total revenues of $648.1 billion, which was
comprised primarily of net sales of $642.6 billion.
We maintain our principal offices in Bentonville, Arkansas. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol “WMT.”
The Development of Our Company
The businesses conducted by our founders began in 1945 when Sam M. Walton opened a franchise Ben Franklin variety store in
Newport, Arkansas. In 1946, his brother, James L. Walton, opened a similar store in Versailles, Missouri. Until 1962, our founders’
business was devoted entirely to the operation of variety stores, at which time we began to open discount stores. We completed our
initial public offering in 1970. In 1983, we opened our first Sam’s Club, and in 1988, we opened our first supercenter. In 1998, we
opened our first Walmart Neighborhood Market. In 1991, we began our first international initiative when we entered into a joint
venture in Mexico and, as of January 31, 2024, our Walmart International segment conducted business in 18 countries.
In 2000, we began our first eCommerce initiative by creating both walmart.com and samsclub.com. Since then, our eCommerce
presence has continued to grow. In 2007, leveraging our physical stores, walmart.com launched its Site-to-Store service, enabling
customers to make a purchase online and pick up merchandise in stores. To date, we now have over 8,000 pickup and over 7,800
delivery locations globally. In recent years, we expanded our eCommerce and digital presence through acquisitions with our majority
stakes in Flipkart and PhonePe in India. We continue to heavily invest in omni-channel and eCommerce innovation, which enables us
to leverage technology, talent and expertise, and expand our assortment and service offerings.
We are enhancing our omni-channel capabilities through a combination of stores, eCommerce websites and service offerings, as well as
our supply chain, combined with approximately 2.1 million associates as of January 31, 2024, to better serve our customers. Together,
these elements produce a global retail ecosystem that we believe allows customers to view Walmart as their primary retail destination.
In the U.S., our Walmart+ membership incorporates several service offerings which provide enhanced omni-channel shopping
experiences and benefits for members. As we execute on our strategy globally, our business is expanding through offerings such as
advertising, marketplace and fulfillment services, healthcare and financial services. These offerings represent mutually reinforcing
pieces of our omni-channel model centered on our customers around the world who are increasingly seeking convenience.

Information About Our Segments
We are engaged in global operations of retail, wholesale and other units, as well as eCommerce, located throughout the U.S., Africa,
Canada, Central America, Chile, China, India and Mexico. We also previously operated in the United Kingdom and Japan prior to the
sale of those operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Refer to Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on
these divestitures. Our operations are conducted in three reportable segments: Walmart U.S., Walmart International and Sam’s Club,
which are further described below. Each segment contributes to the Company’s operating results differently. However, each has
generally maintained a consistent contribution rate to the Company’s net sales in recent years other than minor changes to the
contribution rate for the Walmart International segment due to the exit of certain markets and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Additional information on our operating segments and geographic information is contained in Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Walmart U.S. Segment
Walmart U.S. is our largest segment and operates in the U.S., including in all 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Walmart
U.S. is a mass merchandiser of consumer products, operating under the “Walmart” and “Walmart Neighborhood Market” brands,
including walmart.com. Walmart U.S. had net sales of $441.8 billion for fiscal 2024, representing 69% of our fiscal 2024 consolidated
net sales, and had net sales of $420.6 billion and $393.2 billion for fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. Of our three segments, Walmart
U.S. has historically had the highest gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross profit rate”). In addition, Walmart U.S. has
historically contributed the greatest amount to the Company’s net sales and operating income.
Omni-channel. Walmart U.S. provides an omni-channel experience to customers, integrating retail stores and eCommerce, through
services such as pickup and delivery, in-home delivery, ship-from-store and digital pharmacy fulfillment options. As of January 31,
2024, the vast majority of our stores have pickup locations and more than 4,300 locations offer same-day delivery. Our Walmart+
membership offering provides enhanced omni-channel shopping benefits including unlimited free shipping on eligible items with no
order minimum, unlimited delivery from store, fuel discounts, mobile Scan & Go and access to additional member benefits. We define
eCommerce sales as sales initiated by customers digitally and fulfilled by a number of methods including our dedicated eCommerce
fulfillment centers and leveraging our stores, as well as certain other business offerings that are part of our ecosystem, such as our
Walmart Connect advertising business. The following table provides the approximate size of our retail stores as of January 31, 2024:

Merchandise. Walmart U.S. does business primarily in three strategic merchandise units, listed below:
•
Grocery consists of a full line of grocery items, including dry grocery, snacks, dairy, meat, produce, deli & bakery, frozen
foods, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, as well as consumables such as health and beauty aids, pet supplies, household
chemicals, paper goods and baby products;
•
General merchandise includes:
◦ Entertainment (e.g., electronics, toys, seasonal merchandise, wireless, video games, movies, music and books);
◦ Hardlines (e.g., automotive, hardware and paint, sporting goods, outdoor living and stationery);
◦ Fashion (e.g., apparel for adults and children, as well as shoes, jewelry and accessories); and
◦ Home (e.g., housewares and small appliances, bed & bath, furniture and home organization, home furnishings, home
decor, fabrics and crafts).
•
Health and wellness includes pharmacy, over-the-counter drugs and other medical products, optical services and other clinical
services.
Other categories in the Walmart U.S. business include fuel and various service offerings such as in-house advertising via Walmart
Connect, supply chain and fulfillment capabilities to online marketplace sellers via Walmart Fulfillment Services, initiatives such as
business-to-business last mile delivery services via Walmart GoLocal, and a suite of data products for merchants and suppliers via
Walmart Luminate. Additional service offerings include financial services and related products (including through our digital channels,
stores and our fintech venture, ONE), such as money orders, prepaid access, money transfers, check cashing, bill payment and certain
types of installment lending.
Brand name merchandise represents a significant portion of the merchandise sold in Walmart U.S. We also market lines of merchandise
under our private brands, including brands such as: “Allswell,” “Athletic Works,” “Equate,” “Free Assembly,”

“onn.,” “Ozark Trail,” “Parent’s Choice,” “Sam’s Choice,” “Scoop,” “Spring Valley,” “Time and Tru,” “Way to Celebrate” and “Wonder
Nation.” The Company also markets lines of merchandise under licensed brands, some of which include: “Avia,” “Better Homes &
Gardens,” “Love & Sports,” “Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara,” and “The Pioneer Woman.”
Periodically, revisions are made to the categorization of the components comprising our strategic merchandise units. When revisions
are made, the previous periods’ presentation is adjusted to maintain comparability.
Operations. Walmart U.S. is available to customers through supercenters, discount stores and neighborhood markets, as well as online
or through the mobile application 24 hours a day. Consistent with its strategy, Walmart U.S. continues to develop technology tools and
services to better serve customers and help stores operate more efficiently, such as pickup and delivery, Walmart+, ship-from-store and
other initiatives which provide convenient and seamless omni-channel shopping experiences.
Seasonal Aspects of Operations. Walmart U.S.’s business is seasonal to a certain extent due to calendar events and national and
religious holidays, as well as different weather patterns. Historically, its highest sales volume has occurred in the fiscal quarter ending
January 31.
Competition. Walmart U.S. competes with brick and mortar, eCommerce and omni-channel retailers operating discount, department,
retail and wholesale grocers, drug, dollar, variety and specialty stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets and supercenter-type stores, social
commerce platforms, as well as companies that offer services in digital advertising, fulfillment and delivery services, health and
wellness and financial services. Each of these landscapes is highly competitive and rapidly evolving, and new business models and the
entry of new, well-funded competitors continue to intensify this competition. Some of our competitors have longer histories in these
lines of business, more customers and greater brand recognition. They may be able to obtain more favorable terms from suppliers and
business partners and to devote greater resources to the development of these businesses. In addition, for eCommerce and other
internet-based businesses, newer or smaller businesses may be better able to innovate and compete with us.
Our ability to develop and operate units at the right locations and to deliver a customer-centric omni-channel experience largely
determines our competitive position within the retail industry. We compete in a variety of ways, including the prices at which we sell
our merchandise, merchandise and selection availability, services offered to customers, the quality of the products and services we
offer, location, store hours, in-store amenities, the shopping convenience and overall shopping experience we offer, the attractiveness
and ease of use of our digital platforms, cost and speed of and options for delivery to customers of merchandise purchased through our
digital platforms or through our omni-channel integration of our physical and digital operations. We employ many strategies and
programs designed to meet competitive pressures within our industry. These strategies include the following:
•
EDLP: our pricing philosophy under which we price items at everyday low prices so our customers trust that our prices will
not change under frequent promotional activity;
•
EDLC: everyday low cost is our commitment to control expenses so our cost savings can be passed along to our customers;
•
Omni-channel offerings such as pickup and delivery and our Walmart+ membership offering, all of which enhance
convenience and seek to serve customers in the ways they want to be served; and
•
Expanding our ecosystem and the products and services we offer in areas such as digital advertising, fulfillment services,
health and wellness, and financial services to provide our customers a broader set of offerings to meet expanding needs.
Distribution. We continue to invest in supply chain automation and utilize a total of 162 distribution facilities which are located
strategically throughout the U.S. For fiscal 2024, the majority of Walmart U.S.’s purchases of store merchandise were shipped through
these facilities, while most of the remaining store merchandise we purchased was shipped directly from suppliers. General merchandise
and dry grocery merchandise is transported primarily through the segment’s private truck fleet; however, we contract with common
carriers to transport the majority of our perishable grocery merchandise. We ship merchandise purchased by customers on our
eCommerce platforms by a number of methods from multiple locations including from our 30 dedicated eCommerce fulfillment
centers, as well as leveraging our ability to ship or deliver directly from more than 4,300 stores, some of which include market
fulfillment centers, which are positioned inside or attached to our stores to fill online orders more efficiently.

wmt-20240131
Walmart International Segment
Walmart International is our second largest segment and operates in 18 countries outside of the U.S. Walmart International operates
through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, Chile, China, and Africa (which includes Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique,
Namibia, South Africa, Eswatini, and Zambia), and our majority-owned subsidiaries in India, as well as Mexico and Central America
(which includes Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua). Walmart International previously operated in the
United Kingdom and Japan prior to the sale of those operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Refer to Note 12 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements for discussion of recent divestitures.
Walmart International includes numerous formats divided into two major categories: retail and wholesale. These categories consist of
many formats, including: supercenters, supermarkets, hypermarkets, warehouse clubs (including Sam’s Clubs) and cash & carry, as
well as eCommerce through websites and mobile applications, including walmart.com.mx, walmart.ca, flipkart.com, PhonePe and other
sites. Walmart International had net sales of $114.6 billion for fiscal 2024, representing 18% of our fiscal 2024 consolidated net sales,
and had net sales of $101.0 billion for both fiscal 2023 and 2022. The gross profit rate is slightly lower than that of Walmart U.S.
primarily because of its format and channel mix.
Walmart International’s strategy is to create strong local businesses powered by Walmart, which means being locally relevant and
customer-focused in each of the markets it operates. We are being deliberate about where and how we choose to operate and continue to
re-shape the portfolio to best enable long-term, sustainable and profitable growth. As such, we have taken certain strategic actions to
strengthen our Walmart International portfolio for the long-term, which include the following highlights over the last three years:
•
Divested of Asda Group Limited (“Asda”), our retail operations in the U.K., in February 2021.
•
Divested of a majority stake in Seiyu, our retail operations in Japan, in March 2021.
•
Bought out the noncontrolling interest shareholders of our Massmart subsidiary in November 2022 and exited operations in
certain countries in Africa.
•
Increased our ownership in PhonePe, our digital payments platform in India, as part of the separation from Flipkart in
December 2022.
Omni-channel. Walmart International provides an omni-channel experience to customers, integrating retail stores and eCommerce,
such as through pickup and delivery services in most of our markets and our marketplaces such as Flipkart in India. Our financial
services offerings continue to grow with our digital payment platform at PhonePe in India. We continue to expand our marketplace
offerings, which also unlock fulfillment and advertising services.
Generally, retail units’ selling areas range in size from 1,400 square feet to 186,000 square feet. Our wholesale stores’ selling areas
generally range in size from 25,000 square feet to 158,000 square feet. As of January 31, 2024, Walmart International had over 2,800
pickup and over 2,900 delivery locations.
Merchandise. The merchandising strategy for Walmart International is similar to that of our operations in the U.S. in terms of the
breadth and scope of merchandise offered for sale. While brand name merchandise accounts for a majority of our sales, we have both
leveraged U.S. private brands and developed market specific private brands to serve our customers with high quality, low priced items.
Along with the private brands we market globally, such as “Equate,” “George,” “Great Value,” “Holiday Time,” “Mainstays,”
“Marketside” and “Parent’s Choice,” our international markets have developed market specific brands including “Aurrera” and “Lider.”
In addition, we have developed and continue to grow our relationships with regional and local suppliers in each market to ensure
reliable sources of quality merchandise that is equal to national brands at low prices.
Consistent with its strategy, Walmart International continues to build mutually reinforcing businesses in areas such as advertising,
marketplace and fulfillment services, healthcare and financial services. Our businesses in Mexico and Canada, for example, offer
prepaid cards and money transfers, and our PhonePe business in India continues to grow, providing a platform that offers mobile and
bill payment, person-to-person (P2P) payment, investment and insurance solutions, financial services and advertising. In Mexico, we
also offer a value-based internet and telephone service allowing customers to enjoy digital connectivity. Combined, these offerings did
not represent a significant portion of annual segment revenues.
Operations. The hours of operation for operating units in Walmart International vary by country and by individual markets within
countries, depending upon local and national ordinances governing hours of operation. Customers can also access online and mobile
applications 24 hours a day. Consistent with its strategy, Walmart International continues to develop technology tools and services to
better serve customers and help its various formats operate more efficiently, as well as to provide convenient and seamless omnichannel shopping experiences.
Seasonal Aspects of Operations. Walmart International’s business is seasonal to a certain extent. Historically, its highest sales volume
has occurred in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. The seasonality of the business varies by country due to different national and
religious holidays, festivals and customs, as well as different weather patterns.

Competition. Walmart International competes with brick and mortar, eCommerce and omni-channel retailers who operate department,
drug, discount, variety and specialty stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets and supercenter-type stores, wholesale clubs, homeimprovement stores, specialty electronics stores, cash & carry operations and convenience stores, and direct to consumer offerings, as
well as companies that offer services in digital advertising, fulfillment services, health and wellness and financial services. Our ability
to develop and operate units at the right locations and to deliver a customer-centric omni-channel experience largely determines our
competitive position within the retail industry. We believe price leadership is a critical part of our business model and we continue to
progress our markets towards an EDLP approach. Additionally, our ability to operate food departments effectively has a significant
impact on our competitive position in many of the markets where we operate. Each of these landscapes is highly competitive and
rapidly evolving, and new business models and the entry of new or well-funded competitors continue to intensify this competition.
Some of our competitors have longer histories in these lines of business, more customers and greater brand recognition and therefore
they may be able to obtain more favorable terms from suppliers and business partners and to devote greater resources to the
development of these businesses. In addition, for eCommerce and other internet-based businesses, newer or smaller businesses may be
better able to innovate and compete with us.
Distribution. We utilize a total of 176 distribution facilities located in Canada, Central America, Chile, China, India, Mexico and
Africa. Through these facilities, we process and distribute both imported and domestic products to the operating units of the Walmart
International segment. During fiscal 2024, the majority of Walmart International’s purchases passed through these distribution facilities.
Suppliers ship the remainder of Walmart International’s purchases directly to our stores in the various markets in which we operate.
Across the segment, we have efficient networks connecting physical stores and distribution and fulfillment centers, which facilitate the
movement of goods to where our customers live. We ship merchandise purchased by customers on our eCommerce platforms by a
number of methods from multiple locations, such as in India where we utilize a combination of more than 3,500 eCommerce
fulfillment centers, sort centers and last-mile delivery facilities, as well as our physical retail stores.
Sam’s Club Segment
Sam’s Club operates in 44 states in the U.S. and in Puerto Rico. Sam’s Club is a membership-only warehouse club that also operates
samsclub.com. Sam’s Club had net sales of $86.2 billion for fiscal 2024, representing 13% of our consolidated fiscal 2024 net sales,
and had net sales of $84.3 billion and $73.6 billion for fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a membership-only warehouse club,
membership income is a significant component of the segment’s operating income. Sam’s Club operates with a lower gross profit rate
and lower operating expenses as a percentage of net sales than our other segments.
Membership. The following two options are available to members:
Plus Membership
Club Membership
$110
Up to 16
$50
Up to 8
Annual Membership Fee
Number of Add-on Memberships ($45 each)
All memberships include a spouse/household card at no additional cost. Plus Members are also eligible for free curbside pickup and
free shipping on the majority of merchandise, with no minimum order size, and receive discounts on prescriptions and glasses.
Beginning in fiscal 2023, Sam’s Club launched a single loyalty rewards currency called Sam’s Cash which merges and replaces existing
Cash Rewards for Plus members and Cash Back for Sam’s Club Mastercard holders. Members may redeem Sam’s Cash on purchases in
the club and online, to pay for membership fees or for cash in clubs. Sam’s Cash does not expire and is available for monthly
redemption.
Omni-channel. Sam’s Club provides an omni-channel experience to members, integrating warehouse clubs and eCommerce through
such services as Curbside Pickup, mobile Scan & Go, ship-from-club, and delivery-from-club. Members have access to a broad
assortment of merchandise and services, including those not found in our clubs, online at samsclub.com and through our mobile
commerce applications. The warehouse facility sizes generally range between 32,000 and 168,000 square feet, with an average size of
approximately 134,000 square feet.
Merchandise. Sam’s Club offers merchandise in the following five merchandise categories:
•
Grocery and consumables includes dairy, meat, bakery, deli, produce, dry, chilled or frozen packaged foods, alcoholic and
nonalcoholic beverages, floral, snack foods, candy, other grocery items, health and beauty aids, paper goods, laundry and

Technology, office and entertainment includes consumer electronics and accessories, software, video games, office supplies,
appliances and third-party gift cards.
Within the categories above, the Member’s Mark private label brand continues to expand its assortment and deliver member value.
Operations. Sam’s Club is available to members through warehouse club locations, as well as online or through the mobile application
24 hours a day. Club locations offer Plus Members the ability to shop before regular operating hours. Consistent with its strategy, Sam’s
Club continues to develop technology tools to drive a great member experience. Curbside Pickup is available at clubs to help provide
fast, easy and contact-free shopping for members. Sam’s Club also offers Scan & Go, a mobile checkout and payment solution, which
allows members to bypass the checkout line.
Seasonal Aspects of Operations. Sam’s Club’s business is seasonal to a certain extent due to calendar events and national and religious
holidays, as well as different weather patterns. Historically, its highest sales volume has occurred in the fiscal quarter ending
January 31.
Competition. Sam’s Club competes with other membership-only warehouse clubs, the largest of which is Costco, as well as with
discount retailers, retail and wholesale grocers, general merchandise wholesalers and distributors, gasoline stations as well as omnichannel and eCommerce retailers and catalog businesses. At Sam’s Club, we provide value at members-only prices, a quality
merchandise assortment, and bulk sizing to serve both our Plus and Club members. Our eCommerce website and mobile commerce
applications have increasingly become important factors in our ability to compete.
Distribution. We utilize 30 dedicated distribution facilities located strategically throughout the U.S., as well as some of the Walmart
U.S. segment’s distribution facilities which service the Sam’s Club segment for certain items. During fiscal 2024, the majority of Sam’s
Club’s non-fuel club purchases were shipped from these facilities, while the remainder of our purchases were shipped directly to Sam’s
Club locations by suppliers. Sam’s Club ships merchandise purchased on samsclub.com and through its mobile commerce applications
by a number of methods including shipments made directly from clubs, 15 dedicated eCommerce fulfillment centers and other
distribution centers.
Sam’s Club uses a combination of our private truck fleet, as well as common carriers, to transport perishable and non-perishable
merchandise from distribution facilities to clubs.
Intellectual Property
We regard our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and
similar intellectual property as important to our success, and with respect to our associates, customers and others, we rely on trademark,
copyright, and patent laws, trade-secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements to protect our proprietary rights. We
have registered, or applied for the registration of, a number of U.S. and international domain names, trademarks, service marks and
copyrights. Additionally, we have filed U.S. and international patent applications covering certain of our proprietary technology. We
have licensed in the past, and expect that we may license in the future, certain of our proprietary rights to third parties.
Suppliers and Supply Chain
As a retailer and warehouse club operator, we utilize a global supply chain that includes both U.S. and international suppliers from
whom we purchase the merchandise that we sell in our stores, clubs and online. In many instances, we purchase merchandise from
producers located near the stores and clubs in which such merchandise will be sold, particularly products in the “fresh” category.
Consistent with applicable laws, we offer our suppliers the opportunity to efficiently sell significant quantities of their products to us.
These relationships enable us to obtain pricing that reflects the volume, certainty and cost-effectiveness these arrangements provide to
such suppliers, which in turn enables us to provide low prices to our customers. Our suppliers are subject to standards of conduct,
including requirements that they comply with local labor laws, local worker safety laws and other applicable laws. Our ability to
acquire from our suppliers the assortment and volume of products we wish to offer to our customers, to receive those products within
the required time through our supply chain and to distribute those products to our stores and clubs, determines, along with other supply
chain logistics matters (such as containers or port access for example), in part, our in-stock levels in our stores and clubs and the
attractiveness of our merchandise assortment we offer to our customers and members.
Government Regulation
As a company with global operations, we are subject to the laws of the United States and multiple foreign jurisdictions in which we
operate and the rules and regulations of various governing bodies, which may differ among jurisdictions. For additional information,
see the risk factors herein in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” under the sub-caption “Legal, Tax, Regulatory, Compliance, Reputational and
Other Risks.”

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Priorities
Our ESG strategy is centered on the concept of creating shared value: we believe we maximize long-term value and create competitive
advantage for the Company by serving our stakeholders, including our customers, associates, shareholders, suppliers, business partners
and communities. We believe that addressing such societal needs builds the value of our business, including by enhancing customer and
associate trust, creating new business opportunities, managing cost and risk, building capabilities for future advantage and
strengthening the underlying systems on which Walmart and our stakeholders rely.
We prioritize the ESG issues that offer the greatest potential for Walmart to create shared value: issues that rank high in relevance to
our business and stakeholders and which Walmart is positioned to make a positive impact. Our current ESG priorities are categorized
into four broad themes: opportunity, sustainability, community and ethics and integrity.
•
Opportunity. Retail can be a powerful engine for inclusive economic opportunity. We aim to advance belonging, diversity,
equity and inclusion, and create opportunity for Walmart associates (as further described in the Human Capital Management
section below), our suppliers and workers in supply chains, and the communities in which we operate. Doing so helps us
fulfill our customer mission, strengthens our business and helps people build a better life for themselves and their families.
•
Sustainability. Walmart’s sustainability efforts focus on our ability to create and preserve long-term value for both people and
planet. With respect to people, our sustainability efforts include sourcing responsibly, helping prevent forced labor,
empowering women, creating inclusive economic opportunity and selling safer, healthier products. With respect to the planet,
our efforts aim to enhance the sustainability of product supply chains by reducing emissions, protecting and restoring nature
and reducing waste. To help address the effects of climate change, Walmart has set science-based targets for emissions
reduction, including our goal to achieve zero emissions in our operations by 2040—without offsets—and to reduce, avoid or
sequester one billion metric tons of emissions in our value chain by 2030 under our Project Gigaton initiative.
•
Community. Walmart aims to serve and strengthen communities by operating our business in a way that meets the needs of
our customer and community stakeholder groups, including by providing safer, healthier and more affordable food and other
products, disaster support, associate volunteerism, local grant programs and community cohesion initiatives.
•
Ethics and Integrity. At every level of our Company, we work to create a culture that inspires trust among our associates,
with our customers and in the communities we serve.
We periodically publish information on our ESG priorities, strategies and progress on our corporate website and may update those
disclosures from time to time. Nothing on our website, including our ESG reporting, documents or sections thereof, shall be deemed
incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or incorporated by reference into any of our other filings with the
SEC.
Human Capital Management
Our associates – powered by technology – play a critical role in delivering on our purpose to help people save money and live better.
Our business is focused on serving people and this is delivered by our approximately 2.1 million associates around the world with
approximately 1.6 million associates in the U.S. and approximately 0.5 million associates internationally. In the U.S., approximately
92% of our associates are hourly and approximately 69% of our associates are full-time.
We believe our people make the difference, and we are focused on investing in the growth and well-being of our associates, investing in
digital experiences to improve their quality of work and creating a culture of belonging. An important part of our focus is to provide
opportunities for associates to grow and learn. For some, we are a foundational entry point to develop critical skills that are relevant for
a variety of careers. We are focused on developing, rewarding and retaining associates in an ever-changing environment. Our people
ultimately make Walmart a better place to work and a better place to shop. Our workforce strategy includes the following strategic
priorities: belonging, well-being, growth and digital.
Belonging – Focus on creating a workplace where all associates feel seen, supported and connected through a culture of belonging. We
publish our diversity representation twice yearly and hold ourselves accountable to providing recurring belonging, diversity, equity and
inclusion updates to senior leadership – including our President and CEO – and members of the Board of Directors. Of the
approximately 2.1 million associates employed worldwide, 52% identify as women. In the U.S., 51% of the approximately 1.6 million
associates identify as people of color.
Our Belonging programs aim to create equitable opportunities for everyone, regardless of background, so that every eligible and
qualified individual can thrive and perform. We regularly review our processes around fair-pay practices and are committed to creating
a performance culture where associates are rewarded based on meaningful factors such as qualifications, experience, performance and
the work they do.

To build a company where associates feel seen, supported and connected, we gather and respond to associate feedback in a variety of
ways, including in-person dialogue; real-time digital insights such as pulse surveys; formal surveys like our associate engagement
survey; and always-on confidential channels, including our Open Door process and ethics channels.
Well-being – Prioritize the emotional, physical and financial well-being of associates. We invest in our associates by offering
competitive wages, as well as a broad range of benefits to meet the diverse needs of our global associate population and their eligible
dependents. In the U.S., this includes company-paid benefits such as 401(k) match, family building support, maternity leave, fertility
benefits, a paid parental leave program to all full-time associates, paid time off, Associate Stock Purchase Plan match, life insurance,
behavioral and mental health services, a Walmart discount card or Sam’s Club membership and predictable scheduling that helps
associates plan for life outside of work and know what to expect in their paychecks.
Additional information about how we invest in our associates’ well-being, including wage structure and pay, can be found in our
Human Capital brief in our most recent ESG reporting, which is available on our corporate website. Nothing on our website, including
our ESG reporting documents, or sections thereof, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or
incorporated by reference into any of our other filings with the SEC. Certain information relating to retirement-related benefits we
provide to our associates is included in Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Growth – Provide ongoing growth, development and learning opportunities for associates and continue to attract talent with new
skills. We are invested in the growth of our associates – in support of our business and their success – by offering good jobs that lead to
great careers and better lives.
Approximately 75% of our U.S. salaried store, club and supply chain management started their careers in hourly positions. Our focus
on providing a path of opportunity for our associates through robust training, competitive wages and benefits and career advancement
creates a strong associate value proposition and strengthens our workforce. In the U.S., we seek to enable these pathways through
programs like Walmart Academy and Live Better U (LBU). Walmart Academy offers training for on-the-job retail skills, leadership and
well-being, serving our associates through a combination of digital and in-person offerings. Additionally, our LBU program provides
access to educational opportunities for our part-time and full-time frontline eligible associates in the U.S. through high school
diplomas, short-form certificates and credentials or college degrees.
Digital – Drive a digital transformation that improves the associate experience and powers the business. To deliver a seamless
customer and associate experience, we continue to invest in consumer-grade digital tools designed to improve associate productivity
and efficiency, engagement and performance, allowing associates to spend more time generating new ideas, developing strategy and
building relationships. This capability has been expanded to certain international markets.
Technology is also used to improve associate experience, including an app developed to capture real-time associate feedback. Walmart
also supports associates on the U.S. Medical Plan with free virtual visits for medical doctor urgent care and mental health care with
psychiatrists and psychologists.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
The risks described below could, in ways we may or may not be able to accurately predict, materially and adversely affect our business,
results of operations, financial position and liquidity. Our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that apply to
all companies operating in the U.S. and globally. The following risk factors do not identify all risks that we may face.
Strategic Risks
Failure to successfully execute our omni-channel strategy and the cost of our investments in eCommerce and technology may
materially adversely affect our market position, net sales and financial performance.
The retail business continues to rapidly evolve and consumers increasingly embrace digital shopping. As a result, the portion of total
consumer expenditures with retailers and wholesale clubs occurring through digital platforms is increasing and the pace of this increase
could continue to accelerate.
Our strategy, which includes investments in eCommerce, technology, including the use of artificial intelligence technology, talent,
supply chain automation, acquisitions, joint ventures, store remodels and other customer initiatives may not adequately or effectively
allow us to continue to grow our eCommerce business, increase comparable sales, maintain or grow our overall market position or
otherwise offset the impact on the growth of our business of a moderated pace of new store and club openings and sustain the current
pace of remodels. The success of this strategy will depend in large measure on our ability to continue building and delivering a
seamless omni-channel shopping experience and interconnected ecosystem for our customers that deepens and maintains our
relationships with our customers across our various businesses and partnerships and reinforces our overall enterprise strategy. The
success of this strategy is further subject to the related risks discussed in this Item 1A. With the interconnected components of this
enterprise strategy and an increasing allocation of capital expenditures focused on these initiatives, changes in customer or member
perceptions about our reputation or our failure to successfully execute on individual components of this strategy may adversely affect
our market position, net sales and financial performance, which could also result in impairment charges to intangible assets or other
long-lived assets. In addition, a greater concentration of eCommerce sales, including increasing online grocery sales, could result in a
reduction in the amount of traffic in our stores and clubs, which would, in turn, reduce the opportunities for cross-store or cross-club
sales of merchandise that such traffic creates and could reduce our sales within our stores and clubs and materially adversely affect our
financial performance.
Furthermore, the cost of certain investments in eCommerce, technology, talent and automation, including any operating losses incurred
for those initiatives, will adversely impact our financial performance in the short-term and failure to realize the benefits of these
investments may adversely impact our financial performance over the longer term.
If we do not timely identify or effectively respond to consumer trends or preferences, it could negatively affect our relationship
with our customers, demand for the products and services we sell, our market share and the growth of our business.
It is difficult to predict consistently and successfully the products and services our customers will demand and changes in their
shopping patterns, tastes and preferences. The success of our business depends in part on how accurately we predict consumer demand,
availability of merchandise, the related impact on the demand for existing products and services and the competitive environment. Our
business is dependent on our ability to make critical decisions and predictions with respect to merchandise categories that quickly
respond to changing consumer spending patterns, tastes and preferences, any incorrect calculations by us may result in lower sales,
spoilage and inventory markdowns, which could adversely impact our results of operations. Our ability to predict and adapt to
changing tastes and preferences depends on many factors, including obtaining accurate and

relevant data on customer preferences, emphasizing relevant merchandise categories, effectively managing our inventory levels, and
implementing competitive and effective pricing and promotion strategies. Price transparency, assortment of products, customer
experience, convenience, ease and the speed and cost of shipping are of primary importance to customers and continue to increase in
importance, particularly as a result of digital tools and social media available to consumers and the choices available to consumers for
purchasing products. We must continue to preserve our reputation, which is impacted based on public perceptions. It may be difficult to
address negative publicity across media channels, regardless of whether it is accurate. Negative incidents involving us, our workforce
(including the loss of merchandise as a result of shrink or theft) or others with whom we do business could quickly erode trust and
confidence in our business and could result in consumer boycotts, workforce unrest and government investigations. Negative
reputational incidents or negative perceptions of us could adversely impact our business and results of operations, including through
lower sales, the termination of business relationships and associate retention and recruiting efforts. Moreover, failure to adequately
predict customer demand and consumer spending patterns or otherwise optimize and operate our distribution and fulfillment centers
could result in excess or insufficient inventory, service interruptions and increased costs, any of which could significantly harm our
business. As we continue to add new fulfillment centers, our fulfillment and technology networks become increasingly complex and
operating them becomes more challenging. There can be no assurance that we will be able to operate our networks effectively.
We face strong competition from other retailers, wholesale club operators, omni-channel retailers and other businesses which
could materially adversely affect our financial performance.
Each of our segments competes for customers, employees, digital prominence, products and services and in other important aspects of
its business with many other local, regional, national and global physical, eCommerce and omni-channel retailers, social commerce
platforms, wholesale club operators and retail intermediaries, as well as companies that offer services in digital advertising, fulfillment
and delivery services, health and wellness and financial services. The omni-channel retail landscape is highly competitive and rapidly
evolving, and the entry of new, well-funded competitors may increase competitive pressures. In addition, for eCommerce and other
internet-based businesses, newer or smaller businesses may be better able to innovate and compete with us.
We compete in a variety of ways, including the prices at which we sell our merchandise, merchandise selection and availability,
services offered to customers, location, store hours, in-store amenities, the shopping convenience and overall shopping experience we
offer, the attractiveness and ease of use of our digital platforms, cost and speed of and options for delivery to customers of merchandise
purchased through our digital platforms or through our omni-channel integration of our physical and digital operations.
A failure to respond effectively to competitive pressures and changes in the retail and other markets in which we operate, omni-channel
innovations and omni-channel ecosystems developed by our competitors or delays or failure in execution of our strategy could
materially adversely affect our financial performance. See “Item 1. Business” above for additional discussion of the competitive
situation of each of our reportable segments.
Certain segments of the retail industry are undergoing consolidation or substantially reducing operations, whether due to bankruptcy,
consolidation or other factors. Such consolidation, or other business combinations or alliances, competitive omni-channel ecosystems
or reductions in operations may result in competitors with greatly improved financial resources, improved access to merc…
