Summary
Walmart's total revenues rose 7.3% to $177.75B in the fiscal first quarter, with net sales up 7.1% to $175.68B. Membership and other income increased 27.0% to $2.07B, reflecting 17.4% growth in membership fee revenue.
The company attributes the margin decline to certain business reorganization charges of $0.2 billion within the Walmart U.S. segment and Corporate and support related to strategic efforts to align our global platforms, as well as higher associate healthcare benefit costs related to increased enrollment and medical cost inflation in the U.S..
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased 12.4% to $4.74B, which the company attributes to timing of inventory receipts, partially offset by timing of certain payments and an increase in cash provided by operating income. Free cash flow was negative $1.9 billion, down from positive $425 million a year earlier. The company repurchased $2.08B of stock, down 54.3% from $4.56B, and had $28.2 billion remaining under its new $30 billion share repurchase program.
