What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to notify the SEC and the public that Walmart Inc. will be releasing its financial results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2024, along with a financial presentation. The actual financial details are contained in the accompanying exhibits (press release and presentation) which are furnished with this report.

Where can I find the actual financial results for Walmart's first quarter?

The actual financial results for the three months ended April 30, 2024, will be available in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the financial presentation (Exhibit 99.2) that are furnished with this 8-K. These documents are expected to be publicly released on May 16, 2024, and will likely be available on Walmart's investor relations website.

Does this 8-K filing contain specific numbers like revenue or earnings per share?

No, this 8-K filing itself, under Item 2.02, only states that Walmart is furnishing a press release and financial presentation that *will* disclose these details. The specific financial metrics, such as revenue, profitability, and other operational data for the quarter, will be found in the press release and presentation that are scheduled for release on May 16, 2024.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of an 8-K, it means the company is providing the disclosure but it is not subject to the liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor is it automatically incorporated into other SEC filings unless specifically referenced. For investors, this means the primary source of digestible, forward-looking, or non-GAAP information is often the press release and presentation itself, which are furnished.
