Item 2.02           Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 3, 2025, The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain preliminary expectations with respect to full-year 2024 results. The Company intends to report its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results, as well as full-year 2025 guidance, on Thursday, March 6, 2025.

Item 5.02           Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

On March 3, 2025, the Company announced that Rodney McMullen, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has resigned from those positions, effective immediately.

On February 21, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) was made aware of certain personal conduct by Mr. McMullen and immediately retained outside independent counsel to conduct an investigation, which was overseen by a special Board committee. Mr. McMullen’s conduct is not related to the Company’s financial performance, operations or reporting, and it did not involve any Kroger associates.

In connection with his resignation, Mr. McMullen will forfeit all unvested equity awards outstanding under the Company’s 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan and will not be eligible to receive payment of a 2024 bonus. Mr. McMullen will retain any equity awards that, as of the resignation date, are fully vested pursuant to their terms or for which the performance period is complete.

On March 2, 2025, the Board appointed Ronald Sargent, the current Lead Director of the Board, as interim Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. The Board has formed a Search Committee and engaged a nationally recognized firm to conduct a search for the Company’s next Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Sargent, age 69, has been a Kroger director since 2006 and has served as the Lead Director of Kroger since 2017. He spent the first ten years of his professional career at Kroger, working in several roles across stores, sales, marketing, manufacturing and strategy. Mr. Sargent is a veteran retail operator and leader with 35 years of experience, including as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Staples, Inc. from 2002 to 2016 after joining the company in 1989. Mr. Sargent currently serves on the board of directors of Wells Fargo & Company and the board of directors of Five Below, Inc. Mr. Sargent previously served as a director of The Home Depot, Inc. and Mattel, Inc.

Mr. Sargent will step down as the Lead Director of the Company’s Board and from the Board’s Audit Committee, Corporate Governance Committee, and Public Responsibilities Committee during the time of his service as the interim Chief Executive Officer. The Board has appointed director Mark Sutton to serve as the Board’s Lead Director.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Sargent and any Company director or executive officer, and no arrangements or understandings betwee

Item 2.02.Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On September 8, 2023, The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) (“Kroger”) issued a press release announcing its second quarter 2023 results. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and furnished herewith, is a copy of that release.

The information in this Item 2.02 and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 are furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of Kroger under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.

Item 7.01.Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 8, 2023, Kroger issued a press release announcing that it has reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs to settle the majority of opioid claims that have been or could be brought against Kroger by states in which they operate, subdivisions, and Native American tribes. Along with the execution of certain non-monetary conditions that remain in discussion, Kroger has agreed to pay up to $1.2 billion to states and subdivisions and $36 million to Native American tribes in funding for abatement efforts (both to be paid over 11 years in equal installments), and approximately $177 million to cover attorneys’ fees and costs (to be paid over 6 years in equal installments). The timing of the settlement payments over multiple years, most of which are tax deductible, results in an after-tax net present value to Kroger of approximately $870 million. Initial payments would begin in December 2023.

States, subdivisions, and the Native American tribes will have an opportunity to opt-in to participate in the settlement, and Kroger will have full discretion to determine whether there is sufficient participation for the settlement to become effective. If all conditions are satisfied, the settlement would allow for the full resolution of all claims on behalf of participating states, subdivisions and tribes and is not an admission of any wrongdoing or liability.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

The information in this Item 7.01 and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 are furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of Kroger under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.

Item 8.01.Other Events.

On September 8, 2023, Kroger and Albertsons Companies, Inc., (“Albertsons”) issued a joint press release announcing that they have entered into an agreement with C&S Wholesale Grocers, LLC (“C&S”) to divest 413 stores, as well as the QFC, Mariano’s and Carrs brand

About Kroger Company (The) (KR) Earnings

This page provides Kroger Company (The) (KR) earnings call transcripts from SEC 8-K filings along with AI-powered predictions for post-earnings price movements. Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on KR's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
