73、ation as required by Regulation G and Item 10(e)of Regulation S-K regarding non-GAAP measures can be found in our most recent Form 10-K and our Form 8-K furnished as of the date of this presentation with the SEC,which are available at .Non-GAAP measures-ROIWe include Return on Assets(ROA),which is c

74、alculated in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)as well as Return on Investment(ROI)as measures to assess returns on assets.Management believes ROI is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it helps investors assess how effectively Walmart is deploying it

75、s assets.Trends in ROI can fluctuate over time as management balances long-term strategic initiatives with possible short-term impacts.We consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of ROI.ROA was

76、 5.6%percent and 5.8%percent for the trailing twelve months ended July 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The decrease in ROA was primarily due to the increase in average total assets driven by higher purchases of property and equipment.ROI was 12.8%and 13.8%for the trailing 12 months ended July 31,2023

77、and 2022,respectively.The decrease in ROI was the result of a decrease in operating income primarily due to opioid legal charges and reorganization and restructuring charges recorded in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2023 respectively,as well as an increase in average invested capital primarily due to higher p

78、urchases of property and equipment.We define ROI as operating income plus interest income,depreciation and amortization,and rent expense for the trailing twelve months divided by average invested capital during that period.We consider average invested capital to be the average of our beginning and e

79、nding total assets,plus average accumulated depreciation and average amortization,less average accounts payable and average accrued liabilities for that period.Our calculation of ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROI using financial measures that exclude and include

80、 amounts that are included and excluded in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.For example,we exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization from our reported operating income in calculating the numerator of our calculation of ROI.As mentioned above,we consider ROA to be the fin

81、ancial measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles most directly comparable to our calculation of ROI.ROI differs from ROA(which is consolidated net income for the period divided by average total assets for the period)because ROI:adjusts operating income to exclude c

82、ertain expense items and adds interest income;adjusts total assets for the impact of accumulated depreciation and amortization,accounts payable and accrued liabilities to arrive at total invested capital.Because of the adjustments mentioned above,we believe ROI more accurately measures how we are de

83、ploying our key assets and is more meaningful to investors than ROA.Although ROI is a standard financial measure,numerous methods exist for calculating a companys ROI.As a result,the method used by management to calculate our ROI may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their

84、 ROI.The calculation of ROA and ROI,along with a reconciliation of ROI to the calculation of ROA,is as follows:Non-GAAP measures ROI(cont.)CALCULATION OF RETURN ON ASSETSTrailing Twelve Months EndingJul 31,Oct 31,Jan 31,Apr 30,Jul 31,(Dollars in millions)20222022202320232023NumeratorConsolidated net

96、,in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures,due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions.Therefore,we believe it is important to vie
