Frequently Asked Questions

This 8-K filing does not contain the specific financial results within the report itself. Instead, it acts as a notification that Walmart is furnishing a press release (Exhibit 99.1) and a financial presentation (Exhibit 99.2) which contain the detailed results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019.

The press release and financial presentation, which include the detailed financial results for the period ending October 31, 2019, were to be issued and posted on Walmart's investor relations website on November 14, 2019.

The information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. This means that while the information is being disclosed to the public, it is not subject to the liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as if it were formally 'filed'. This distinction is important for legal and regulatory purposes.
