„We’re pleased with our performance for the quarter. Our associates are responding to change in an inspiring way, and we’re proud of them. The Walmart U.S. business saw strong comp sales and expense leverage, and operating income grew for the sixth consecutive quarter. We also celebrated the first anniversary of Flipkart and PhonePe as part of the Walmart family. It was great to see record sales in India during The Big Billion Days event. Looking ahead, we’re prepared for a good holiday season. Our integrated offering with stores and eCommerce delivers value and convenience for our customers. Our associates are working hard to ensure we succeed — one customer, one interaction at a time.“
Doug McMillon
President and CEO, Walmart
