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. 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. 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. These items should
not be reviewed in isolation or considered substitutes for the Company's financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. 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>

it presents more accurately year-over-year comparisons for operating profit because adjusted items are not the result of normal operations.
Items identified in this table should not be considered alternatives to operating profit 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

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. 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. 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 or net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of the Company's performance or liquidity.&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>
