basis points, excluding fuel, the 53rd week and adjustment items, compared to the same period last year. This increase in rate was driven
by planned investments in associates, investments in strategic growth initiatives and the effect of our terminated agreement with Express
Scripts, partially offset by the continued execution of cost savings initiatives and lower incentive plan costs.</P>

purpose of this table is to better illustrate comparable operating results from our ongoing business, after removing the effects on net
earnings per diluted common share for certain items described below.&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted
share are useful metrics to investors and analysts because they present more accurately year-over-year comparisons for net earnings and
net earnings per diluted share because adjusted items are not the result of normal operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;Items identified in this table
should not be considered alternatives to net earnings attributable to The Kroger Co. or any other GAAP measure of performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;These
items should not be reviewed in isolation or considered substitutes for the Company's financial results as reported in accordance with
GAAP.&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the nature of these items, as further described below, it is important to identify these items and to review
them in conjunction with the Company's financial results reported in accordance with GAAP.</FONT></P>

free cash flow is an important performance measure used by management, and management believes it is also a useful metric for investors
and analysts to evaluate the Company's ability to generate additional funding from business operations available for dividends, managing
debt levels, share repurchases and other strategic investments.&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted free cash flow is one of the key financial indicators
of the Company's business performance and the Company also uses adjusted free cash flow to evaluate the Company's senior management.&nbsp;&nbsp;However,
adjusted free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, therefore, should not be considered an
alternative to net earnings (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of the Company's performance or liquidity.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
free cash flow is a relatively standard term, numerous methods exist for calculating free cash flow. As a result, the method used by
the Company's management to calculate adjusted free cash flow may differ from methods other companies use to calculate free cash flow.</FONT></P>
