Supplemental Information - FY25 and FY26 Comparable Sales 4-5-4 Reporting Calendars We report U.S. comparable sales on a 13-week and 52-week retail calendar — commonly referred to as a "4-5-4" calendar — which uses 364 days in a year. In certain years, it becomes necessary to add a 53rd week to our comparable sales reporting calendar, which occurs in fiscal 2025. The following tables reflect our period ending dates for the reporting of U.S. comparable sales throughout fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026. The additional week only affects 4-5-4 comparable sales; all other measures remain unaffected.   FY25 Comparable Sales   Q1 13 Weeks Ended Q2 13 Weeks Ended Q3 13 Weeks Ended Q4 14 Weeks Ended Full Year 53 Weeks Ended FY25 (53 weeks) April 26, 2024 July 26, 2024 October 25, 2024 January 31, 2025 January 31, 2025 Base: FY24 (53 weeks) April 28, 2023 July 28, 2023 October 27, 2023 February 02, 2024 February 02, 2024   Comparison Period: FY24 Comparable Sales   Q1 13 Weeks Ended Q2 13 Weeks Ended Q3 13 Weeks Ended Q4 13 Weeks Ended Full Year 52 Weeks Ended FY24 (52 weeks)1 April 28, 2023 July 28, 2023 October 27, 2023 January 26, 2024 January 26, 2024 Base: FY23 (52 weeks) April 29, 2022 July 29, 2022 October 28, 2022 January 27, 2023 January 27, 2023 FY25 Reporting   FY26 Comparable Sales   Q1 13 Weeks Ended Q2 13 Weeks Ended Q3 13 Weeks Ended Q4 13 Weeks Ended Full Year 52 Weeks Ended FY26 (52 weeks) May 02, 2025 August 01, 2025 October 31, 2025 January 30, 2026 January 30, 2026 Base: FY25 (52 weeks) May 03, 2024 August 02, 2024 November 01, 2024 January 31, 2025 January 31, 2025   Comparison Period: FY25 Comparable Sales   Q1 13 Weeks Ended Q2 13 Weeks Ended Q3 13 Weeks Ended Q4 14 Weeks Ended Full Year 53 Weeks Ended FY25 (53 weeks)1 April 26, 2024 July 26, 2024 October 25, 2024 January 31, 2025 January 31, 2025 Base: FY24 (53 weeks) April 28, 2023 July 28, 2023 October 27, 2023 February 02, 2024 February 02, 2024 FY26 Reporting 1 Our comparable sales calculations are based on periods of equal lengths and comparison periods are presented as they were originally reported.

Non-GAAP measures – ROI 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 7.9 percent and 6.6 percent for the trailing 12 months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in ROA was primarily due to an increase in consolidated net income during the trailing 12 month period, as a result of higher operating income and changes in the fair value of our equity and other investments. ROI was 15.5 percent and 15.0 percent for the trailing 12 months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in ROI was the result of an increase in operating income, primarily due to improvements in business performance, partially offset by an increase in average invested capital primarily due to higher purchases of property and equipment. 24

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. Net cash provided by operating activities was $36.4 billion for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $0.7 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by operating income and lapping the payment of accrued opioid legal charges in the prior year, partially offset by increased inventory purchases. Free cash flow for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 was $12.7 billion, which represents a decrease of $2.5 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in free cash flow was due to an increase of $3.2 billion in capital expenditures to support our investment strategy, partially offset by the increase in net cash provided by operating activities described above. 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. 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. 27

Non-GAAP measures – 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 net sales for the Walmart International segment for the trailing five quarters and operating income for the current quarter.

Non-GAAP measures – 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. 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. We have calculated Adjusted EPS for the trailing five quarters as well as the prior year comparable periods by adjusting EPS for the relevant adjustments for each period presented. 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.

Non-GAAP measures – adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin The calculation of net income margin and adjusted EBITDA margin, along with a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA margin to the calculation of net income margin, is as follows: Three Months Ended Jan 31, Jan 31, (Dollars in millions) 2025 2024 Consolidated net income attributable to Walmart $ 5,254 $ 5,494 Consolidated net income attributable to noncontrolling interest (171) (184) Provision for income taxes 1,538 1,840 Other (gains) and losses 294 (813) Interest, net 602 549 Operating income $ 7,859 $ 7,254 + Depreciation and amortization 3,374 3,117 - Opioid-related legal matter (99) — Adjusted EBITDA $ 11,134 $ 10,371 Net Sales $ 178,830 $ 171,914 Consolidated net income margin 2.9% 3.2% Adjusted EBITDA margin 6.2% 6.0% We include net income and net income margin, which are calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principle as well as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of certain items. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We also exclude other gains and losses, which is primarily comprised of fair value adjustments on our investments which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance. From time to time, we will also adjust certain items from operating income, which we believe is meaningful because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by consolidated net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes, however, that these measures provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures, debt levels, capital investments and other items which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance. We consider net income to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of adjusted EBITDA. We consider net income margin to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of adjusted EBITDA margin. Although adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are standard financial measures, numerous methods exist for calculating a company’s adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. As a result, the method used by management to calculate our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly titled measures. Net income margin was 2.9% and 3.2% for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in net income margin was primarily due to the decrease in net income resulting from changes in the fair value of our equity and other investments, partially offset by increased operating income and decreased income taxes. The increase in net sales also contributed to the decrease in net income margin. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.2% and 6.0% for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to adjusted operating income growth outpacing sales growth. 36
