<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Total company sales were $44.6 billion in the first quarter, compared

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Gross margin was 21.6% of sales for the first quarter. The FIFO gross
margin rate, excluding fuel, decreased 26 basis points compared to the same period last year. This decrease was primarily attributable
to continued strategic price investments and higher supply chain costs offset by sourcing benefits and the cycling of a write-down related
to a donation of personal protective equipment inventory from prior year.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The LIFO charge for the quarter was $93 million, compared to a LIFO
charge of $37 million for the same period last year driven by higher inflation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Operating, General&nbsp;&amp; Administrative rate decreased 46
basis points, excluding fuel and adjustment items, which reflects sales leverage, continued execution of cost savings initiatives, and

strategy and sustained food at home trends led to a strong first quarter. The Kroger team is effectively navigating a dynamic retail environment.
Our diverse and resilient business model gives us confidence to raise our full-year guidance. We now expect identical sales without fuel
to be in the range of 2.5% to 3.5%, adjusted FIFO operating profit of $4.3 billion to $4.4 billion, and adjusted net earnings per diluted
share to be in the range of $3.85 to $3.95. We remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable earnings growth and total shareholder
