<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">We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits of Harris Teeter Supermarkets,&nbsp;Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;) as of
December&nbsp;31, 2024 and 2023, the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then
ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the &ldquo;financial statements&rdquo;). In our opinion, the financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of
December&nbsp;31, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</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">These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan&rsquo;s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.</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">We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (&ldquo;PCAOB&rdquo;) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules&nbsp;and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.</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">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit
of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan&rsquo;s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</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">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</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 supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of assets
(held at end of year) as of December 31, 2024 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan&rsquo;s
financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan&rsquo;s management. Our audit procedures included determining
whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable,
and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming
our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented
in conformity with the Department of Labor&rsquo;s Rules&nbsp;and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the schedule of assets (held at end of year) is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.</P>

plan with 401(k)&nbsp;features. The Plan is maintained by the Company primarily for the benefit of employees of the Employer. The Plan
is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (&ldquo;ERISA&rdquo;). Under the provisions of the
Plan, eligible employees may elect to have the Company make contributions to the Plan on their behalf out of their regular salary and
bonus (before state and federal income taxes or as Roth contributions). Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan after three
months of employment. Participants may generally contribute up to 30% of gross pay not to exceed established limits of $23,000 for 2024.
Highly compensated employees are subject to additional contribution limitations. In addition to established limits, participants age 50
or older may contribute &ldquo;catch-up&rdquo; contributions of $7,500 for 2024. Participants may elect to make pre-tax and/or Roth contributions,
subject to the aggregate limits stated above.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0pt">The Plan includes Company matching contributions at a rate
determined at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegate. The Company matching contributions are applicable
to the first 5% of compensation contributed by eligible participants. The matching contributions are deposited with each payroll contribution.</P>

in order to be eligible to share in the Automatic Retirement Contribution (&ldquo;ARC&rdquo;), the employee must have 60 or more Age and
Service Points as of January&nbsp;1, 2023, (ii)&nbsp;not be a highly compensated employee nor eligible to participate in the Harris Teeter
Supermarkets,&nbsp;Inc. Flexible Deferral Plan during the plan year, (iii)&nbsp;complete at least 1,000 hours of service during the 12-month
period ending on September&nbsp;30 of each plan year and (iv)&nbsp;be continuously employed by the Company from January&nbsp;1, 2023 through
the last day of the plan year. If an employee is no longer employed on the last day of the plan year due to death, retirement on or after
the age of 65, or termination on or after the age of 55 with combined age and service equal to or greater than 85, their beneficiary is
eligible to share in the allocation of the contribution if all the above requirements are satisfied. This allocation is 1-2% of compensation,
depending on age and service levels.</P>

direct the investment of their contributions, the Company&rsquo;s matching contributions, and their ARC from among various investment
options offered by the Plan, including Kroger Shares, subject to certain limitations. </FONT>In the event an effective investment direction
is not made by the participant, and in the case of contributions made by or on behalf of a participant that, under the terms of the Plan,
are to be invested in the Plan's default investment, such contributions shall be invested in a default investment fund that meets the
requirements of ERISA, Department of Labor Regulations and any other related regulations or similar guidance. During the reporting year,
the Plan's default investment fund was an age-appropriate retirement fund/trust based upon retirement at age 65. Participants may not
direct more than 20% of their contributions into <FONT STYLE="color: #201d1e">Kroger Shares</FONT>. If participants direct more than 20%
of their contributions into <FONT STYLE="color: #201d1e">Kroger Shares</FONT>, the excess will be invested in the Plan's default investment.
In addition, amounts may not be transferred from existing investment funds to <FONT STYLE="color: #201d1e">Kroger Shares </FONT>if the
resulting amount of <FONT STYLE="color: #201d1e">Kroger Shares </FONT>exceeds 20% of the aggregate value of the participant&rsquo;s account.
Generally, a participant&rsquo;s <FONT STYLE="color: #201d1e">Kroger Shares account will be invested exclusively in Kroger Shares. The
Company intends the Kroger Shares account to be a permanent investment fund unless the Company&rsquo;s Retirement Plan Committee determines,
in its sole discretion, that the continued holding or purchase of Kroger Shares would be inconsistent with ERISA.</FONT></P>

of administrative expenses and plan losses. Allocations of administrative expenses may be determined on a per participant basis or prorated
across all participants&rsquo; investments based proportionately on each participant&rsquo;s account balance, depending upon the category
and nature of the expense. There is also a quarterly administrative credit provided to eligible participants based upon the amount the
Plan&rsquo;s recordkeeper receives for administrative services from certain of the Plan&rsquo;s investments. The recordkeeping fee was
$793,988 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024. The administrative fee credit was $70,571 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024.
The administrative credits provided to eligible participants are shown as other income in the statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant&rsquo;s vested account.</P>

include an annuity purchase option), payment of any benefit is made in the form of a lump-sum payment, or the participant may elect partial
or installment distributions, as outlined in the Plan document. In-service withdrawals are subject to certain restrictions, and they generally
include rollover withdrawals, age 59-1/2 withdrawals, merged ESOP plan withdrawals, certain financial hardship withdrawals and qualified
reservist distributions. Participants are taxed on their accounts upon withdrawal, except for qualified rollovers into other tax deferred
plans, and withdrawal of Roth contributions plus earnings thereon, subject to certain restrictions.</P>

within the past thirty days. An additional loan may be permitted for the convenience of a participant by the Loan Administrator when errors
in loan amortizations, loan administration or loan payment processing occur and the Loan Administrator or Plan sponsor is at least partly

Topic 820, <I>Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure</I>, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes
a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received in an asset
sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement
assumes that the transaction in an asset sale or to transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or,
in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or
cost approach, as specified by ASC Topic 820, are used to measure fair value.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0pt">The Stable Value Fund is a collective trust fund sponsored
by T. Rowe Price Associates,&nbsp;Inc. Each investor&rsquo;s beneficial interest in the net assets of the trust is represented by units,
an unlimited number of which are authorized. Unit transactions are subject to terms, conditions, and limitations defined in the Declaration
of Trust. Trust units are issued and redeemed only on a valuation date and at the NAV per unit computed on that date. Trust units may
be redeemed on a daily basis to meet benefit payments and other participant initiated withdrawals permitted by retirement plans invested
in the trust. The investment objectives of the trust are to maximize current income consistent with the maintenance of principal and to
provide for withdrawals for certain participant initiated transactions under a retirement plan without penalty or adjustment. The trust
will attempt to achieve these objectives by investing principally in guaranteed investment contracts (&ldquo;GICs&rdquo;) issued by insurance
companies; investment contracts issued by banks (&ldquo;BICs&rdquo;); structured or synthetic investment contracts (&ldquo;SICs&rdquo;)
issued by banks, insurance companies, and other issuers, as well as the securities supporting such SICs (underlying assets); separate
account contracts; and other similar instruments that are intended to maintain a constant NAV while permitting participant initiated,
benefit- responsive withdrawals for certain events.</P>

a fully benefit-responsive investment. Participants ordinarily may direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment
at contract value.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0pt">Contract value represents contributions made to the benefit-responsive
investments, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals, and administrative expenses. The benefit-responsive investments impose certain
restrictions on the Plan, and the investments themselves may be subject to circumstances that impact their ability to transact at contract
value, as described in the following paragraphs. Plan management believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the investments
to transact at less than contract value is not probable.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0pt">All investment contracts held by the Stable Value Fund are
effected directly between the trust and the issuer of the contract and are nontransferable. Permitted participant-initiated withdrawals
refer to withdrawals from the trust by an employer-sponsored defined contribution plan directly as a result of participant transactions
allowed by the Plan, such as participant withdrawals for benefits, loans, or transfers to other funds or trusts within the Plan.</P>

of Code Section&nbsp;401(a)&nbsp;of the Internal Revenue Code (&ldquo;IRC&rdquo;). Although the Plan has been amended and restated since
the effective date of the determination letter, the Plan&rsquo;s administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0pt">GAAP requires the Plan&rsquo;s management to evaluate tax
positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than
not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan&rsquo;s administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan,
and has concluded that as of December&nbsp;31, 2024 and 2023, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would
require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions;
however, there are currently no tax audits for any tax periods in progress.</P>
