Walmart's definition of comparable sales includes sales from stores and clubs open for the previous 12 months, including remodels, relocations, expansions and conversions, as well as eCommerce sales. 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. 12 Walmart Inc. 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 U.S. 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. 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 and nine months ended October 31, 2025.

N/A - Not applicable 13 Adjusted operating income Adjusted operating income is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules because it excludes certain charges included in operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that adjusted operating income is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period. In addition, adjusted operating income 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 as compared with that of the prior year. When we refer to adjusted operating income in constant currency, this means adjusted operating results without the impact of 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 adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income in constant currency for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, and the calculation of adjusted operating income for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024.

Business reorganization charges for the nine months ended October 31, 2024 primarily relate to expenses incurred in connection with strategic decisions made in the Walmart U.S. segment, as well as incremental business reorganization expenses recorded in Corporate and support. 4 Change versus prior year comparable period. NP - Not provided “cc” - constant currency 14 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. 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. Net cash provided by operating activities was $27.5 billion for the nine months ended October 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $4.5 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to timing of certain payments, increased cash provided by operating income and lower cash tax payments. Free cash flow for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 was $8.8 billion, which represents an increase of $2.6 billion when compared to the same period in the prior 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 $1.9 billion in capital expenditures to support our investment strategy. 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. Nine Months Ended October 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 27,452 $ 22,918 Payments for property and equipment (capital expenditures) (18,627) (16,696) Free cash flow $ 8,825 $ 6,222 Net cash used in investing activities 1 $ (19,030) $ (12,661) Net cash used in financing activities (7,012) (9,673) 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 included 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 with that of 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 with that of the prior year. 15 We adjust for the unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments each quarter because although the investments are strategic decisions for our retail operations, management’s measurement of each strategy is primarily focused on the operational results rather than the fair value of such investments. Additionally, management does not forecast changes in the fair value of its equity and other investments. Accordingly, management adjusts EPS each quarter for the unrealized and realized gains and losses related to those investments. Tax impacts are calculated based on the nature of the item, including any realizable deductions, and statutory rates in effect for relevant jurisdictions. NCI impacts are based on the ownership percentages of our noncontrolling interests, where applicable. We have calculated adjusted EPS for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 by adjusting EPS for the following: 1. unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments; 2. an incremental non-cash shared-based compensation expense in Walmart International; 3. charges and settlements related to certain legal matters which were outside the normal course of our operations and recorded in Corporate and support; and 4. business reorganization charges, primarily related to expenses incurred in connection with strategic supply chain decisions made in the Sam’s Club U.S. segment, as well as incremental business reorganization charges recorded in Corporate and support.

Adjusted for the above items, the effective tax rate was 22.9% and 23.3% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025. The incremental non-cash share-based compensation expense had no tax benefit. 4 Relates to certain legal matters which were outside the normal course of our operations and recorded in Corporate and support. In Q3 FY26, previously accrued charges were reversed upon settlement of a certain legal matter. 16 As previously disclosed in our third quarter ended October 31, 2024 press release, we have calculated adjusted EPS for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 for the following: 1. unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments; and 2. business reorganization charges, primarily related to expenses incurred in connection with strategic decisions made in the Walmart U.S. segment, as well as incremental business reorganization expenses recorded in Corporate and support.

Additionally, the individual components in the tables above may include immaterial rounding. 2 The reported effective tax rate was 22.7% and 23.8% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively. Adjusted for the above items, the effective tax rate was 23.0% and 23.8% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024. 17 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 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 is deploying 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 measure 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 average 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. ROA was 8.4 percent and 7.8 percent for the trailing 12 months ended October 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 14.8 percent and 15.1 percent for the trailing 12 months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in ROI was the result of an increase in average invested capital due to higher purchases of property and equipment. ROI benefited from increased operating income due to improved business performance, which was partially offset by the incremental non-cash share-based compensation charge at PhonePe as well as other business restructuring and certain legal matters. 18 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: CALCULATION OF RETURN ON ASSETS Trailing Twelve Months Ended October 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 Numerator Consolidated net income $ 23,303 $ 20,410 Denominator Average total assets 1 276,027 261,287 Return on assets (ROA) 8.4 % 7.8 % CALCULATION OF RETURN ON INVESTMENT Trailing Twelve Months Ended October 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 Numerator Operating income $ 28,976 $ 28,743 + Interest income 393 513 + Depreciation and amortization 13,837 12,715 + Rent 2,402 2,329 ROI operating income $ 45,608 $ 44,300 Denominator Average total assets 1 $ 276,027 $ 261,287 ' + Average accumulated depreciation and amortization 1 126,953 120,464 ' - Average accounts payable 1 65,010 61,956 ' - Average accrued liabilities 1 29,819 27,125 Average invested capital $ 308,151 $ 292,670 Return on investment (ROI) 14.8 % 15.1 % October 31, Certain Balance Sheet Data 2025 2024 2023 Total assets $ 288,655 $ 263,399 $ 259,174 Accumulated depreciation and amortization 131,099 122,806 118,122 Accounts payable 67,156 62,863 61,049 Accrued liabilities 31,521 28,117 26,132 1 The average is based on the addition of the account balance at the end of the current period to the account balance at the end of the prior period and dividing by 2. 19
