"Sources: annual figures come from the fiscal 2025 Form 10-K (accession 0001104659-26-037723); quarterly, year-to-date and the August 15, 2026 balance sheet come from the second-quarter fiscal 2026 Form 10-Q (accession 0001104659-26-108926).",
"Fiscal calendar: Kroger's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31 and is named for the calendar year in which it begins, so FY2025 is the 52 weeks ended January 31, 2026, FY2024 the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2025, and FY2023 the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2024. FY2023 therefore has one more week than the other two years.",
"Quarter lengths are unequal: the 10-Q states that its second-quarter columns cover 12 weeks and its year-to-date columns 28 weeks. Q2 FY2026 is the 12 weeks ended August 15, 2026 and Q2 FY2025 the 12 weeks ended August 16, 2025; the year-to-date block is the 28 weeks ended on those dates.",
"Revenue is the line Kroger captions 'Sales'. Merchandise costs are the income statement line 'Merchandise costs, including advertising, warehousing, and transportation, excluding items shown separately below'; rent and depreciation and amortization are reported separately below it.",
"Gross profit is the GAAP gross profit Kroger calculates in its management's discussion and analysis: sales less merchandise costs (including the LIFO charge) and less the portions of rent and of depreciation and amortization the company includes in that calculation. It is therefore smaller than sales minus the merchandise cost line. The 10-K prints this calculation for FY2025 and FY2024 only, so FY2023 carries no gross profit.",
"Items under 'Other income (expense)' keep the filing's sign: a negative value reduced pre-tax earnings. This applies to net interest, the non-service component of pension cost, and gains or losses on investments.",
"Net income is net earnings attributable to The Kroger Co. Net earnings including noncontrolling interests and the noncontrolling interests' share are shown separately. Per-share figures are as printed. Kroger's per-share earnings exclude income allocated to participating securities ($7 million in FY2025, $20 million in FY2024 and $18 million in FY2023), so net income divided by diluted shares is slightly above the printed diluted EPS. Share counts are weighted averages, printed in millions.",
"Capital expenditures are 'Payments for property and equipment, including payments for lease buyouts' from the cash flow statement, shown as negative outflows. Free cash flow is derived as net cash provided by operating activities less those payments. It is not a figure Kroger reports.",
"Share repurchases are the cash flow statement's 'Treasury stock purchases' line. FY2024 buyback cash also included a $1,000 million payment for an accelerated share repurchase not yet settled at year-end, which the cash flow statement shows separately as 'Unsettled accelerated share repurchases', so total FY2024 buyback cash was $5,156 million.",
"Total debt including finance leases is the sum of the balance sheet's current and long-term portions of 'long-term debt including obligations under finance leases'. It agrees with the filings' own narrative: total debt decreased $339 million to $17.6 billion at fiscal 2025 year-end, then decreased $569 million by August 15, 2026.",
"FY2025 results include $2,497 million of pre-tax fulfillment network impairment and related charges, which the cash flow statement adds back as a non-cash item. The 10-K states that the $1.9 billion FY2025 operating profit includes $2.5 billion of these charges. FY2024 includes a $79 million gain on the sale of a business.",
"FY2024 sales include $2,021 million of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy sales, a business Kroger has since sold, according to the 10-K's management's discussion and analysis.",
"Cash flow is not reported for a single quarter: the 10-Q presents its cash flow statement only for the 28-week year-to-date periods, so cash flow figures appear in the year-to-date block and its prior-year comparative.",
"The 10-Q's balance sheet presents August 15, 2026 and January 31, 2026. The August 15, 2026 position sits on Q2 FY2026. The January 31, 2026 column matches the 10-K balance sheet shown on FY2025. The 10-Q prints no balance sheet for August 16, 2025, so Q2 FY2025 has none. The 10-K prints balance sheets for its two most recent year-ends only, so FY2023 has none.",
"Dividends declared per share come from the statements of changes in shareholders' equity. The year-to-date amounts are the sums of the quarterly declarations shown there: $0.35 plus $0.39 for fiscal 2026, and $0.32 plus $0.35 for fiscal 2025.",
"Trailing-twelve-month figures (52 weeks ended August 15, 2026) are derived as FY2025 plus the 28 weeks ended August 15, 2026 less the 28 weeks ended August 16, 2025. Per-share earnings and share counts are not derived for this window. The 28-week fiscal 2025 statements show no fulfillment network impairment, so the trailing window still includes the full $2,497 million pre-tax charge recorded in FY2025."

"summary": "Kroger reported sales of $34.62 billion for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended August 15, 2026, up 2.0% from a year earlier, with net income attributable to Kroger of $641 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.05, against $0.91. Higher fuel prices drove the sales gain while sales excluding fuel slipped, and operating profit of $971 million was up 12.5% mainly because litigation, severance and other charges were smaller than a year earlier; on Kroger's adjusted basis, which excludes those charges and the LIFO charge, operating profit edged down. Earnings per share grew faster than net income because Kroger had fewer shares outstanding after buybacks.",

"a": "Kroger reported sales of $34.62 billion for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended August 15, 2026, up 2.0% from $33.94 billion a year earlier. The increase came from higher fuel prices; Kroger's sales to retail customers excluding fuel slipped."

"q": "What was Kroger's earnings per share for Q2 FY2026?",
"a": "Kroger earned $1.05 per diluted share in Q2 FY2026, up 15.4% from $0.91 a year earlier. Per-share earnings rose faster than net income because Kroger had fewer diluted shares outstanding after share repurchases."

"q": "Why did Kroger's operating profit go up in Q2 FY2026?",
"a": "Kroger's operating profit was $971 million in Q2 FY2026, up 12.5% from $863 million, mainly because charges for items such as Albertsons-related litigation were smaller than a year earlier. Excluding those charges and the LIFO charge, Kroger's adjusted operating profit edged down from the year-ago quarter."
