"We delivered another solid quarter amidst a difficult industry backdrop," said Vivek Sankaran, CEO. "Again this quarter, we focused on our strategy to create Customers for Life, which drove strong growth in digital and pharmacy, deepened our omnichannel relationships with our customers and improved our in-store experience. We are pleased with our fiscal 2023 financial results, particularly in omnichannel where we have increased our investments in technology, digital and in-store customer experience and supply chain operations. We want to thank all of our teams who continue to deliver on our commitment to serving our customers and communities."

Mr. Sankaran added, "As we look forward to fiscal 2024, we will continue investing in our Customers for Life strategy and developing the digital and omnichannel capabilities necessary to support it. Our Customers for Life strategy is placing the customer at the center of everything we do, with the ultimate goal of supporting them every day, every week, and for a lifetime. It is a multi-year journey that we will continue to build on in fiscal 2024 as we invest in capabilities that allow us to digitally connect and further engage our customers through a frictionless omnichannel experience, enhance what we offer, modernize our operational capabilities and transform our ways of working."

Mr. Sankaran concluded, "At the same time, we expect to face ongoing headwinds posed by investments in associate wages and benefits, cycling significant prior year food inflation, lower government assistance for our customers, declining COVID-related income, and the increasing mix of our pharmacy and digital businesses, which carry lower margins. We expect these headwinds to be much stronger in the first half of fiscal 2024. These headwinds are expected, however, to be partially offset by ongoing productivity initiatives."

Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2023 Results

Net sales and other revenue was $18.3 billion during both the 12 weeks ended February 24, 2024 ("fourth quarter of fiscal 2023") and the 12 weeks ended February 25, 2023 ("fourth quarter of fiscal 2022"). Net sales and other revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 were driven by a 1.0% increase in identical sales, partially offset by lower fuel sales and wholesale revenue. Strong growth in pharmacy sales drove the identical sales increase. We also continued to grow our digital business with a 24% sales increase during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Gross margin rate increased to 28.0% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 27.8% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding the impact of fuel and LIFO, gross margin rate decreased 58 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The strong growth in pharmacy operations, which carries an overall lower gross margin rate, increases in shrink, and increases in picking and delivery costs related to the continued growth in our digital sales were the primary drivers of the decrease, partially offset by our procurement and sourcing productivity initiatives. In addition, the benefits from our productivity initiatives allowed us to continue to provide incremental targeted price investments to our customers during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 25.7% of Net sales and other revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 25.8% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding the impacts of fuel and a legal settlement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales and other revenue increased 13 basis points. The increase in Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales and other revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses related to the ongoing development of our digital and omnichannel capabilities, ongoing Merger-related costs, increased store occupancy costs and additional third-party store security services, partially offset by lower employee costs, which includes the benefit of ongoing productivity initiatives, and lower depreciation and amortization. We expect a continued trend in increased digital spend as we enhance and maintain the modernization of our technology platforms.

Net loss on property dispositions and impairment losses was $0.8 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to net gain of $61.4 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Interest expense, net was $109.0 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $91.6 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily attributable to lower interest income.

Other expense, net was $2.4 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to other income, net of $9.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Income tax expense was $64.3 million, representing a 20.4% effective tax rate, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $40.4 million, representing an 11.5% effective tax rate, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate was the result of certain federal statutes expiring in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the related reduction in reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Net income was $250.5 million or $0.43 per share during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Net income was $311.1 million or $0.54 per share during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, which included a $43.5 million or $0.07 per share benefit related to the reduction in reserves for uncertain tax positions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted net income was $318.0 million, or $0.54 per share during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $459.7 million, or $0.79 per share (which includes the $0.07 per share tax benefit discussed above), during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $915.8 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $1,050.2 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Capital Expenditures

During fiscal 2023, capital expenditures were $2,031.3 million, which primarily included the completion of 150 remodels, the opening of six new stores and continued investment in our digital and technology platforms.

Non-GAAP Measures and Identical Sales

Non-GAAP Measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per Class A common share and Net debt ratio (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are performance measures that provide supplemental information the Company believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate its ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, gross margin, and net income per Class A common share. These Non-GAAP Measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing the Company's ongoing core operating performance, and thereby provide useful measures to analysts and investors of its operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and provide for different adjustments, and comparability to the Company's results of operations may be impacted by such differences. The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA and Net debt ratio for board of director and bank compliance reporting. The Company's presentation of Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Identical Sales. As used in this earnings release, the term "identical sales" includes stores operating during the same period in both the current fiscal year and the prior fiscal year, comparing sales on a daily basis. Direct to consumer digital sales are included in identical sales, and fuel sales are excluded from identical sales.
