Walmart Inc
SWOT Analysis
Customer-centric Business Operations
Walmart offers a broad assortment of products to its users at competitive prices compared to its peers.
The company implemented several programs, which help it achieve price leadership. Its major programs
include everyday low price (EDLP), everyday low cost (EDLC), Walmart Pickup, Pickup Today, Club
Pickup, Grocery Delivery, Grocery Pickup and Online Grocery schemes. Under the EDLP program, the
company offers and sell merchandise at various lower prices and assures customers that its prices do not
change under frequent promotional activities. Its EDLC program controls the expenses and other
overhead costs by applying various strategies that ensures to meet or to record below the competitor's
advertised price. The savings are passed on to its customers. The company’s Walmart Pickup is an
online order system, which enables customers to order online and pick it up for free through its stores or
distribution facilities. The Pickup Today is also an online order system, which allows customers to buy the
merchandise online and pick-up at a store within four hours free of cost as orders are fulfilled from
existing store inventory. Through Grocery Delivery and Grocery Pickup, Walmart delivers grocery orders
online to home or allows them to pick it up in participating stores and remote places. Such activities
enable the company to build long-term relationships with its existing customers and helps to attract new
customers in emerging and potential markets.
Revenue Growth
Strong revenue growth increases the company’s ability to allocate adequate funds for its future growth
prospect. In FY2020, the company reported revenue of Us$523,946 million as compared to revenue of
US$514,405 million in FY2019, an annual growth of 1.9%. Revenue growth was due to increase in
comparable sales for Sam's Club and Walmart US; and addition of Flipkart sales. Growth in revenue was
also due to increase in comparable store sales form majority of international markets. On a CAGR basis,
the company’s revenue increased 2.1% during 2016-2020.
Weakness
Legal Issues
Lawsuits could result in huge penalties and affect the company’s brand image. In January 2020, Sofia
Maynez, a customer filed a class action lawsuit against the company for deceptive in-store and on-app
pricing. The customer reported that the prices of products in the company’s app were less that of the
prices in-store. For example, on the Walmart app the company advertised the price of Huggies Wipes for
US$5.44 and Huggies Pull Ups at US$8.97 on the Walmart app, while the store they were sold at
US$12.54 and US$31.84, respectively. The plaintiff specified that these types of actions were violation to
California law including the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, the Unfair Competition Law, and the False
Advertising Law.

Walmart Inc
SWOT Analysis
Shoppers in the US are now combining their online and offline behaviors and consider both modes of
shopping as interchangeable, forcing retailers to take measures to integrate online and offline retail
strategies and converting into an omni-channel platform. Increasing usage of internet, user-friendly
interface of web portals, enhanced discounts and offers, changing consumer patterns and purchasing
power are driving the growth of e-retail market. According to in-house research, online retail sector in the
US is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% during 2017-22 to reach US$447.4 billion by 2022 from
US$297.8 billion in 2017. Multi-channel retail was the leading mode of sale in the US retail sector,
accounted for 58.2% market share, while online pureplay accounted for the remaining 41.8%. The US
accounts for about 32% of the global online retail sector value. Walmart’s brand websites include
samsclub.com, walmart.com, jet.com, shoes.com, moosejaw.com, and bonobos.com. In FY2019,
Walmart allocated US$5,643 million capital expenditure to develop e-commerce, technology, supply
chain, store remodel and other initiatives.
Focus on Online Grocery Business
In January 2020, the company introduced Alphabot that enables pick, pack and deliver customers’ online
grocery orders. The platform enables the company to improve its footprint as the largest grocer in the
Americas. The company tested Alphabot at its Supercenters in Salem, New Hampshire. In April 2019, the
company collaborated with Google to launch a voice-activated grocery shopping service, powered by
google assistant. It enables online shoppers to make grocery purchases through google assistant by
voice commanding “Hey Google, talk to Walmart” and add the items to Walmart cart.
Focus on Technology and Innovation
The company introduced Walmart Labs to enhance its research activities by collecting ideas of customers
from incubation to international scale. It offers open source technology to develop ideas using various
platforms including Electrode, OneOps, TestArmada, Hapi, Joi and Walmart I/O. Walmart also uses
several technologies to increase its in-store efficiency through Shelf-Scanning Robots, Fast Unloaders,
and Autonomous Floor Cleaners. Fast Unloader is an automated unloading conveyor system that
reduces time for merchandise to reach customers on sales floor. The conveyor system works accordingly,
when the items are unloaded from the truck, unloader directly segregates boxes based on the sales floor
using bar code scanners. The company also uses Shelf-Scanning Robots to identify inventory, prices,
and misplaced items through shelve scan and will automatically shares data with employees to restock at
the identified space. Autonomous Floor Cleaners uses assisted autonomy technology, which helps to
clean and polish floors. The company is also implementing Blockchain technology in its stores to digitize
supply chain process, which helps it to maintain food quality. Through the technology, the company is
planning to track every bag of leafy vegetables with its suppliers from farm to store to reduce the spread
of food-borne illnesses and can also identify which batches of leafy green vegetables might be
contaminated in the near future, which results in improving food quality and reduces time from 7 days to 2
seconds to trace source of food. Walmart also implements the IBM Food Trust Solution that uses IBM
Blockchain Platform. The company’s subsidiary Sam’s Club is using Scan & Go technology to bypass the
checkout line, resulting in an increase in Sam's Club same-store sales growth and membership-renewal
rates. In April 2019, Walmart acquired technology and assets of Polymorph Labs, a Silicon Valley-based
advertising startup. This acquisition helps thousands of brands to deliver relevant digital ads to
consumers through Polymorph’s technology which include high-speed ad server, a self-serve interface
and server-side header bidding. It helps Walmart advertisers to select shopping behavior of consumers

quickly and can also measure whether the ads influenced a sale or not. In February 2020, the company's
Walmart Canada partnered with DLT Labs to launch a production blockchain solution for any industrial
application. The blockchain-enabled freight invoice and payment reconciliation solution was deployed at
Walmart Canada’s 60 transportation carriers to enhance efficiencies, trust, and savings among the
company and its carriers.
Threat
Stringent Regulations
Walmart's business is subject to various regulations governing the e-commerce, internet, omni-channel
retail, physical and electronic devices. The company has business presence in Africa, Argentina, Canada,
Central America, Chile, China, India, Japan, Mexico and the UK. These regulations include taxation, data
protection, privacy, pricing, copyrights, content, distribution, transportation, electronic device certification,
mobile communications, electronic waste, energy consumption, competition, consumer protection,
electronic contracts and other communications, trade and protectionist measures, employment, web
services, and the provision of online payment services. In the US, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017
affected various US corporation operations due to change in income tax laws. The federal government of
US has made various changes in its trade policies including tariffs and government regulations which
affect the trade operations in the US and other countries. Its international operations follow various
regulations including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and UK Bribery Act. The company’s business
operations in the UK are affected by various regulations including changes in food costs, trade policies
and labor, immigration, tax or other laws and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In India, Walmart
and its subsidiary operations are restricted by the rules and regulations such as foreign investment in IT
infrastructure, internet, retail, data centers, delivery, and other sectors, sale of media and other solutions,
and internet content. Indian government implemented new e-commerce regulations to restrict the
companies such as Walmart and Amazon in cutting down prices of their offerings. In January 2019, the
company and Amazon collaborated to fight against the new Indian e-commerce rules. Non-compliance
and tightening of these regulations could affect its financial performance.
Intense Competition
Walmart operates in a highly competitive retailing industry. The company faces tough competition from
national, regional and local operators of discount, department, drug, dollar, variety and specialty stores,
supermarkets, supercenter-type stores and hypermarkets. It also competes with retail stores for
customers desiring to purchase merchandise for cash or on credit. The factors that determine the level of
competition within the industry include customer service and products, quality and price. The growing
presence of online retailers such as Amazon also poses threat to Walmart. The e-retailers has more
flexible cost and better inventory movement compared to traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, which
leads to increase in price competition. Competition could intensify further as e-retailers also expand their
presence in physical stores format. Besides, its competitors strive to expand their operations through
alliances, acquisitions, mergers, new store openings and product portfolio expansion to improve their
performance. In January 2020, Kroger in collaboration with Ocado announced its plans to operate a high-
tech customer fulfilment center in Frederick, Maryland, the US.

Walmart Inc
SWOT Analysis
Foreign Exchange Risks
Walmart operates in many parts of the world and is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
The company reports financials in the US dollar and as a result, its revenue is exposed to volatility of the
US dollar against other functional currencies, as it conducts business operations worldwide. The major
elements exposed to exchange rate risks include the company's investments in overseas subsidiaries
and affiliates and monetary assets and liabilities arising from business transactions in foreign currencies.
In FY2020, the company reported gain of US$286 million from foreign currency translation adjustments
as compared to a loss of US$226 million in FY2019 and a gain of US$2,540 million in FY2018. To
minimize risks from currency fluctuations, the company could involve in foreign exchange hedging
activities by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts. The aggregate fair value of these swaps
resulted in an asset position of US$62 million and a liability position of US$241 million in FY2020 and
FY2019. To minimize risks from currency fluctuations, the company could involve in foreign exchange
hedging by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts. However, there could be no assurance that
such hedging would limit the impact of movements in exchange rates on the company’s results of
operations.

COMPANY VIEW
A statement from the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of Walmart Inc is given below. The
statement has been taken from the company’s 10-K report, 2020.
This discussion, which presents our results for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2020 ("fiscal 2020"),
January 31, 2019 ("fiscal 2019") and January 31, 2018 ("fiscal 2018") should be read in conjunction with
our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. We intend for this discussion to
provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes
in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period and the primary factors that
accounted for those changes. We also discuss certain performance metrics that management uses to
assess the Company's performance. Additionally, the discussion provides information about the financial
results of each of the three segments to provide a better understanding of how each of those segments
and its results of operations affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as a
whole.
Throughout this Item 7, we discuss segment operating income, comparable store and club sales and
other measures. Management measures the results of the Company's segments using each segment's
operating income, including certain corporate overhead allocations, as well as other measures. From time
to time, we revise the measurement of each segment's operating income and other measures as
determined by the information regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker.
Management also measures the results of comparable store and club sales, or comparable sales, a
metric that indicates the performance of our existing stores and clubs by measuring the change in sales
for such stores and clubs, including eCommerce sales, for a particular period from the corresponding
period in the previous year. Walmart's definition of comparable sales includes sales from stores and clubs
open for the previous 12 months, including remodels, relocations, expansions and conversions, as well as
eCommerce sales. We measure the eCommerce sales impact by including all sales initiated online or
through mobile applications, including omni-channel transactions which are fulfilled through our stores
and clubs. Sales at a store that has changed in format are excluded from comparable sales when the
conversion of that store is accompanied by a relocation or expansion that results in a change in the
store's retail square feet of more than five percent. Additionally, sales related to acquisitions are excluded
until such acquisitions have been owned for 12 months. Comparable sales are also referred to as "same-
store" sales by others within the retail industry. The method of calculating comparable sales varies across
the retail industry. As a result, our calculation of comparable sales is not necessarily comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we updated our definition of what was previously referred to
as traffic (a component, along with ticket, of comparable sales). Traffic is now referred to as "transactions"
and measures a percentage change in the number of sales transactions in our comparable stores, as well
as for comparable eCommerce activity.
In discussing our operating results, the term currency exchange rates refers to the currency exchange
rates we use to convert the operating results for countries where the functional currency is not the U.S.
dollar into U.S. dollars or for countries experiencing hyperinflation. We calculate the effect of changes in
Walmart Inc Page 69

Company View
currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the current
period’s currency exchange rates and the comparable prior year period’s currency exchange rates.
Additionally, no currency exchange rate fluctuations are calculated for non-USD acquisitions until owned
for 12 months. Throughout our discussion, we refer to the results of this calculation as the impact of
currency exchange rate fluctuations. Volatility in currency exchange rates may impact the results,
including net sales and operating income, of the Company and the Walmart International segment in the
future.
Our business is seasonal to a certain extent due to calendar events and national and religious holidays,
as well as weather patterns. Generally, our highest sales volume and operating income have occurred in
the fiscal quarter ending January 31. We have taken strategic actions to strengthen our portfolio for the
long-term, including:
Acquisition of 81 percent of the outstanding shares, or 77 percent of the diluted shares, of Flipkart Private
Limited ("Flipkart") in August 2018, which negatively impacted fiscal 2020 and 2019 net income. Refer to
Note 12 for additional information on the transaction.
Divestiture of 80 percent of Walmart Brazil to Advent International ("Advent") in August 2018, for which
we recorded a pre-tax loss of $4.8 billion in fiscal 2019. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on the
transaction.
Divestiture of banking operations in Walmart Chile and Walmart Canada in December 2018 and April
2019, respectively.
Asda made a $1.0 billion cash contribution to the Asda Group Pension Scheme (the "Plan") in October
2019 which enabled the Plan to purchase a bulk insurance annuity contract for the benefit of Plan
participants in anticipation that each Plan participant will be issued an individual annuity contract. The
issuer of the individual annuity insurance contracts will be solely responsible for paying each participant’s
benefits in full and will release the Plan and Asda from any future obligations. Once all Plan participants
have been issued individual annuity contracts, we currently estimate that we will recognize a total, pre-tax
charge of approximately $2.2 billion related to the pension settlement in late fiscal 2021 or early fiscal
2022. Refer to Note 11 for additional information on the transaction.
We operate in the highly competitive omni-channel retail industry in all of the markets we serve. We face
strong sales competition from other discount, department, drug, dollar, variety and specialty stores,
warehouse clubs and supermarkets, as well as eCommerce businesses. Many of these competitors are
national, regional or international chains or have a national or international omni-channel or eCommerce
presence. We compete with a number of companies for attracting and retaining quality employees
("associates"). We, along with other retail companies, are influenced by a number of factors including, but
not limited to: catastrophic events, weather, global health epidemics, competitive pressures, consumer
disposable income, consumer debt levels and buying patterns, consumer credit availability, cost of goods,
currency exchange rate fluctuations, customer preferences, deflation, inflation, fuel and energy prices,
general economic conditions, insurance costs, interest rates, labor costs, tax rates, the imposition of
tariffs, cybersecurity attacks and unemployment. Additionally, we are monitoring the potential impact of
the recent coronavirus outbreak to our global business. Its financial impact is unknown at this time.
Further information on the factors that can affect our operating results and on certain risks to our

Company and an investment in its securities can be found herein under "Item 1A. Risk Factors," and
under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Company Performance Metrics

We are committed to helping customers save money and live better through everyday low prices,
supported by everyday low costs. At times, we adjust our business strategies to maintain and strengthen
our competitive positions in the countries in which we operate. We define our financial framework as:
strong, efficient growth; consistent operating discipline; and strategic capital allocation. As we execute on
this financial framework, we believe our returns on capital will improve over time.
Strong, Efficient Growth

Our objective of prioritizing strong, efficient growth means we will focus on the most productive growth
opportunities, increasing comparable store and club sales, accelerating eCommerce sales growth and
expanding omni-channel initiatives while slowing the rate of growth of new stores and clubs. At times, we
make strategic investments which are focused on the long-term growth of the Company.
Comparable sales is a metric that indicates the performance of our existing stores and clubs by
measuring the change in sales for such stores and clubs, including eCommerce sales, for a particular
period over the corresponding period in the previous year. The retail industry generally reports
comparable sales using the retail calendar (also known as the 4-5-4 calendar). To be consistent with the
retail industry, we provide comparable sales using the retail calendar in our quarterly earnings releases.
However, when we discuss our comparable sales below, we are referring to our calendar comparable
sales calculated using our fiscal calendar, which may result in differences when compared to comparable
sales using the retail calendar.
Walmart U.S. comparable sales increased 2.9% and 3.7% in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, driven
by ticket and transactions growth. Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales positively contributed approximately
1.7% and 1.3% to comparable sales for fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively, as we continue to focus on a
seamless omni-channel experience for our customers. Sam's Club comparable sales increased 1.6% and
5.4% in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. Sam's Club comparable sales for both fiscal 2020 and 2019
benefited from growth in transactions and higher fuel sales, which were partially offset by lower ticket due
to our decision to remove tobacco from certain club locations. Sam's Club fiscal 2019 comparable sales
were further aided by transfers of sales from our closed clubs to our existing clubs. Sam's Club
eCommerce sales positively contributed approximately 1.5% and 0.9% to comparable sales for fiscal
2020 and 2019, respectively.
