Walmart has received nearly $3 billion in tariff refunds and says it will use some of the benefit to help keep prices low for shoppers, while the windfall also gave quarterly profit growth a significant boost.<\/p>\n

The company said it “prioritized investment in price” after receiving refunds tied to tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.<\/p>\n

The refunds came as Walmart continued leaning into its value proposition. The retailer pointed to more than 11,000 price rollbacks across its U.S. stores during the quarter.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re investing in prices because customers are looking to us for value,” the company said in an earnings release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tariff refunds also provided a substantial boost to Walmart\u2019s quarterly earnings. Adjusted operating income rose roughly 17% on a constant-currency basis, with the refunds contributing a 750-basis-point net benefit.<\/p>\n

Excluding that benefit, Walmart said underlying operating income growth still reached the top end of its previous 7% to 10% second-quarter guidance.<\/p>\n

Sales also continued to rise. Total revenue increased 5.9%, while comparable sales at Walmart U.S. grew 2.6%, excluding fuel.<\/p>\n

Walmart\u2019s digital businesses posted faster growth. Global e-commerce sales increased 23%, including a 24% gain at Walmart U.S. and 26% growth at Sam\u2019s Club U.S.<\/p>\n

Store-fulfilled delivery at Walmart U.S. jumped 40% during the quarter, while marketplace net sales increased more than 50%.<\/p>\n

The retailer said stronger sales, improving business economics and continued investment in pricing and technology gave it confidence to raise its sales and operating-income growth guidance for the year.<\/p>\n

Walmart generated $19.7 billion in operating cash flow during the period, along with $5.5 billion in free cash flow.<\/p>\n
