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>
