Wal-Mart November
2006 Saturday End of Reporting Period Sales Summary
Good morning and thank you
for calling Wal-Mart for our Saturday sales update for the November reporting
period. The November four-week period
extended from Saturday, October 28, through Friday, November 24th.
For
the November four-week period, comparable sales in the U.S. are estimated to be approximately
-0.1 percent.
Our official sales release for the November period will be on November 30th. Thank you for your interest in Wal-Mart
Stores.
This call is the property of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
and intended solely for the use of Wal-Mart shareholders and should not be
reproduced in any way whether in part or in its entirety.
This release contains
statements that Wal-Mart believes are “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and intended
to enjoy the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements
provided by that Act. These
forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of phrases such
as “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee”
or other similar words or phrases.
Similarly, descriptions of our objectives, strategies, plans, goals or
targets are also forward-looking statements.
These statements discuss, among other things, expected growth, future
revenues, future cash flows, future performance and the anticipation and
expectations of Wal-Mart and its management as to future occurrences and
trends. These forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, domestically and
internationally, including, the cost of goods, competitive pressures,
inflation, consumer spending patterns and debt levels, currency exchange
fluctuations, trade restrictions, changes in tariff and freight rates, interest
rate fluctuations and other capital market conditions, and other risks. We discuss certain of these matters more
fully in other of our filings with the SEC, including our last Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC; this release should be read in conjunction with
our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and together with all our other filings,
including current reports on Form 8-K, made with the SEC through the date of
this report. You are urged to consider
all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors carefully in evaluating the
forward-looking statements. As a result
of these matters, including changes in facts, assumptions not being realized or
other circumstances, our actual results June differ materially from historical
results or from anticipated results expressed or implied in these
forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the
date of this report and we undertake no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
