Wal-Mart Profits Reach $13 bn (by Jonathan Birchall) Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, beat expectations after its US discount stores accounted for about 50 per cent of all US retail growth last year – while its full-year global sales passed $400 bn (€318 bn) for the first time and profits hit $13.4 bn. Mike Duke, Chief Executive, said the fourth quarter and full-year results showed that Wal-Mart had gained 'momentum' during the year in all of its markets, in spite of the tough economic environment. 'We are doing all the right things to continue our momentum and to widen the gap between the competition and us. We finished January strong, and February is off to a good start.' The results again underlined the retailer's ability to generate cash in a recession and to use the money to invest in its business at a time when most of its rivals are cutting back. Wal-Mart has been able to make acquisitions, concluding a $2.6 bn deal in January for a controlling share of D&S, the largest retailer in Chile. It is continuing to invest in its stores with a big remodelling programme, called Project Impact, now underway in the US. With this programme, Wal-Mart expects to significantly boost the sales per square foot of its more than 3,000 supercentres and discount stores. Total net sales at Wal-Mart USA rose 6 per cent on the last quarter to $71.5 bn, although higher than expected expenses, including healthcare costs, led to its operating income growing more slowly than sales, up 2.2 per cent to $5.4 bn. Internationally, the strong dollar weighed on earnings, with the value of sales down 8.4 per cent from the last quarter to $24.7 bn and operating income down 14.3 per cent at $1.5 bn. At constant currencies, international operating income would have been up 5.1 per cent and net sales up 9 per cent. The retailer highlighted the performance of its Asda stores in the UK, which gained market share with increased customer traffic and average purchases made. In Japan, Wal-Mart reported that comparable sales at its Seiyu stores fell 0.5 per cent from the last quarter, but were positive in November and December.
