As in the past four months of this fiscal year, grocery sales continued to be stronger than general merchandise during the June five-week period at the Wal-Mart Stores segment. An exception was the entertainment category. Sales of flat panel televisions, MP3 players, video game hardware and accessories, laptops and desktop computers had significant year-over-year gains. Computer sales were fueled by the introduction of select Dell computers now sold at Wal-Mart stores and Sam's Clubs throughout the United States.

“Consumers continue to be challenged financially, with more pressure on discretionary spending,” said Eduardo Castro-Wright, Wal-Mart Stores U.S. president and chief executive officer. “Gas prices have moved to be their chief concern in our latest survey and they appreciate the opportunity to save on everything.

“We have a single-minded focus on reducing prices on specific items throughout the year. We are committed to helping our consumers find lower prices by working with key suppliers, reducing packaging and lowering distribution costs. Clearly, Wal-Mart customers are responding,” Castro-Wright added. “This is not short-term relief. We are already working on items for the fall and holiday seasons.”

Softness persisted in home and apparel categories through the June period. Merchandise for school and college will begin arriving in U.S. stores this month, with lower prices to appeal to customers concerned about money and the cost of living. Customers at Wal-Mart will find revitalized “rollback” and “save even more” programs throughout the store this fall.

Sam's Club experienced continued momentum with sales to small business owners, with positive trends in both business member ticket and traffic. Category strengths were in food, including fresh items. Sales of outdoor furniture and grills improved, when compared to the four-week May period.

The Company sees the same pressures on customers in many of its international markets as in the United States. In the United Kingdom, Asda for example, has launched its biggest ever campaign of price reductions across food, general merchandise, George clothing and, just last week, fuel.

The Company expects comparable store sales for the July four-week reporting period to be between 1 and 2 percent, said Tom Schoewe, executive vice president and chief financial officer. The July four-week period runs from July 7 through August 3, 2007.

“We estimate that earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 will continue to be within our previously stated guidance of $0.75 to $0.79,” Schoewe said. “We remain in a challenging environment, but still believe the earnings guidance for the quarter is attainable.”

As previously noted, the Company reports net sales and comparable store sales consistent with the National Retail Federation (NRF) calendar. The NRF calendar for the most recently completed year included 53 weeks, but includes only 52 weeks this year. The weekly sales information for the five-week and 22-week periods ended July 7, 2006 reported in this release match the comparable weeks for the current fiscal year. However, these five-week and 22-week comparable store sales periods reported for last year ended July 6, 2006, one week earlier.
