$0.41

Per Diluted Share in Q2 2018

Second quarter net earnings were $508 million, or $0.62 per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings were $336 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. Identical sales, without fuel, were 1.6%. For the first half of 2018, Kroger's adjusted net earnings per diluted share result was slightly ahead of the company's internal expectations due to the solid early execution of Restock Kroger, including process changes that led to sustainable cost controls and higher-margin alternative revenue streams. This performance will allow Kroger to continue making incremental investments while delivering on its guidance range for the year.
