| 07:42 EDT | | WMT | Wal-Mart CEO says had 'more difficult quarter than expected'
Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke said on the company's Q1 earnings conference call, "Frankly, we had a more difficult quarter than expected when we announced our guidance in February. It’s important to note that Walmart U.S. continued to gain market share across several key categories. Sales were pressured primarily by delayed tax refunds, which caused customers to put off discretionary purchases. And though no one likes to talk about weather, it was a real factor across the United States...I share [Bill Simon's] optimism about the remainder of the year and believe the underlying strength of the Walmart U.S. business will deliver positive comps next quarter." |

The company reported Q1 U.S. comparable store sales ex-fuel down 1.4% for Walmart U.S., up 0.2% for Sam's Club. The company said, "During the 13-week period, the Walmart U.S. comp was negatively impacted by a delay in tax refund checks, challenging weather conditions, less grocery inflation than expected and the payroll tax increase. Comp traffic was down 1.8%, while average ticket increased 0.4%. Despite comps being lower than expected, we continued to generate market share gains. According to The Nielsen Company, we gained 20 basis points of market share in the measured category of 'food, consumables and health & wellness/OTC' during the 13-weeks ended Apr. 27, 2013." |
