For the May four-week period, sales at the Wal-Mart Stores segment were stronger in grocery than general merchandise. Perishables had a solid performance for the period, driven by strong comparable store sales in bread and dairy. Sales of live plants and lawn and garden items were above plan during the May period, as customers focused on outdoor planting and landscaping.

Apparel and home continue to be soft. Wal-Mart Stores U.S. expects to see improvement in these categories beginning in the third quarter, but more significant progress is anticipated during the fourth quarter. The Company continues to reinforce its price leadership position both through print and electronic advertising and in-store communications. Among discount store consumers and Wal-Mart shoppers, worries about gas prices have increased from January through April.

“The price rollbacks on thousands of products throughout our stores help our customers make ends meet,” said Eduardo Castro-Wright, president and chief executive officer for Wal-Mart Stores U.S. “We continue to highlight rollbacks and the 'save even more' features throughout the store, as well as in our circular advertising.”

During the May reporting period, Sam's Club continued its success with sales to small business owners. Food related categories, particularly in the perishable area, performed well. Club members are responding favorably to featured products and values in electronics. Outdoor furniture and grill sales were softer than anticipated during the period.

Beginning in mid-June, Wal-Mart and Sam's Club will sell Dell Computer desktops in its stores and clubs across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Sam's Clubs will carry a notebook computer as well. The Dell computer partnership follows previous announcements by the Company that its Wal-Mart U.S. stores now carry such quality electronics brands as Philips, Samsung, Skype and Vizio.

Last week, the Company announced plans at its shareholders' meeting to leverage capital resources through a strategy designed to improve returns, productivity and sales within its U.S. stores. The plans include moderating the growth of its U.S. supercenters, as well as a new share repurchase program that increased the Company's authorization to $15 billion.

“Wal-Mart U.S. continues to focus on its plan to improve comparable store sales,” said Tom Schoewe, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We are pleased with how strong sales were at Sam's Club during the four-week May reporting period.”

International strengths came from Argentina, Brazil, China, and the United Kindgom. In the U.K., Asda continues to reinforce low prices as well, through its “we sell for less” campaign and price rollbacks on products throughout the store.

Guidance

The Company expects comparable store sales for the June five-week reporting period to be between flat and 2 percent, said Schoewe. The June five-week period runs from June 2 through July 6, 2007.

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 four-week and 17-week periods ended Jun. 2, 2006 reported in this release match the comparable weeks for the current fiscal year. However, these four-week and 17-week comparable store sales periods reported for last year ended May 26, 2006, one week earlier.
