<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Total company sales were $45.1 billion in the first quarter compared
to $45.3 billion for the same period last year, which included $917 million from Kroger Specialty Pharmacy sales. Excluding fuel, Kroger
Specialty Pharmacy and adjustment items, sales increased 3.7% compared to the same period last year.</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">Gross margin was 23.0% of sales for the first quarter compared to 22.0%
for the same period last year. The improvement in gross margin was primarily attributable to the sale of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, lower
shrink and lower supply chain costs, partially offset by the mix effect from growth in pharmacy sales which have lower margins.</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 FIFO gross margin rate, excluding rent, depreciation and amortization,
fuel and adjustment items increased 79 basis points compared to the same period last year. The improvement in rate was primarily attributable
to the sale of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, lower shrink and lower supply chain costs, partially offset by the mix effect from growth in
pharmacy sales which have lower margins.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Operating, General and Administrative rate, excluding fuel, and
adjustment items, increased 63 basis points compared to the same period last year. The increase in rate was primarily attributable to
the sale of Kroger Specialty Pharmacy and an accelerated contribution to a multi-employer pension plan, partially offset by improved productivity.
Multi-employer pension contributions drove a 29 basis point increase in the quarter.</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">In the first quarter, Kroger recognized an impairment charge of $100
million related to the planned closing of approximately 60 stores over the next 18 months. As a result of these store closures, Kroger
expects a modest financial benefit. Kroger is committed to reinvesting these savings back into the customer experience, and as a result,
this will not impact full-year guidance. Kroger will offer roles in other stores to all associates currently employed at affected stores.</P>

its current investment grade debt rating. The Company expects to continue to pay its quarterly dividend and expects this to increase over
time, subject to board approval.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">During the fourth quarter of Kroger&#8217;s
fiscal 2024, Kroger entered into a $5 billion accelerated share repurchase program (ASR), which is expected to be completed by no later
than Kroger&#8217;s fiscal third quarter 2025. The ASR is being completed under Kroger&#8217;s $7.5 billion share repurchase authorization.
After completion of the ASR program, Kroger expects to resume open market share repurchases under the remaining $2.5 billion authorization.
Kroger expects to complete these open market share repurchases by the end of fiscal 2025, which is contemplated in full-year guidance.</P>

EBITDA ratio is 1.69, compared to 1.25 a year ago (Table 5). The company&#8217;s net total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio target range
is 2.30 to 2.50. Kroger&#8217;s strong balance sheet provides ample opportunities for the Company to invest in the business and enhance
shareholder value.</P>
