Per Diluted Share in Q2 2019

Second quarter net earnings were $297 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings were $357 million, or $0.44 per diluted share. Identical sales, without fuel, were 2.2%. Digital sales grew 31% during the quarter. We are pleased with the improvement of trends in our supermarket business in the second quarter. Gross margin headwinds in pharmacy were offset by strong fuel performance during the quarter. We continue to reduce costs and are on track to deliver $100 million in incremental operating profit through alternative profit stream growth. We delivered strong free cash flow and are now within our targeted net total debt to adjusted EBITDA range.
