Net Sales and Cost of Sales
Net sales demonstrated a consistent upward trend from 2020 to 2025, increasing from $519,926 million to $674,538 million. Cost of sales also rose steadily during the same period, from $394,605 million to $511,753 million, indicating rising expenses associated with the generation of sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit showed continuous growth, rising from $125,321 million in 2020 to $162,785 million in 2025. This increase reflects an improving ability to generate profit from core operations despite rising costs.
Membership and Other Income
This income category remained relatively stable with a slight increasing trend, rising from $4,038 million in 2020 to $6,447 million in 2025, suggesting modest growth in supplementary revenue streams.
Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating expenses grew consistently, increasing from $108,791 million in 2020 to $139,884 million in 2025. The rise may reflect investments in operational capability, inflationary pressures, or expansion activities.
Operating Income
Operating income fluctuated over the years, starting at $20,568 million in 2020, peaking at $25,942 million in 2022, then declining to $20,428 million in 2023 before recovering to $29,348 million in 2025. These variations indicate periods of both operational challenges and gains.
Net Interest
Net interest expense decreased from $2,410 million in 2020 to $1,836 million in 2022, but then increased again to $2,245 million in 2025. This pattern suggests changes in debt servicing costs and interest income fluctuations over time.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Other Gains/Losses
A loss on extinguishment of debt was recorded only in 2022 for $2,410 million, possibly reflecting a strategic debt restructuring. Other gains and losses were negative overall, with significant losses in 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating volatility in non-operational activities.
Income Before Income Taxes and Provision for Income Taxes
Income before income taxes showed variability, starting at $20,116 million in 2020, declining to $17,016 million in 2023, and then rising to $26,309 million by 2025, demonstrating recovery and growth. The provision for income taxes fluctuated but generally increased over the period, from $4,915 million in 2020 to $6,152 million in 2025, consistent with rising pre-tax income.
Consolidated Net Income and Net Income Attributable to Walmart
Consolidated net income attributable to Walmart initially decreased from $14,881 million in 2020 to $11,680 million in 2023, followed by a substantial recovery and growth to $19,436 million in 2025. This trend underscores challenges in the middle years met with significant financial improvement by 2025.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
The net income loss attributable to noncontrolling interest exhibited variability, generally trending towards increasing losses in 2024 and 2025, which marginally offset the consolidated net income attributable to Walmart.
