Next: Why it makes money

04Why it makes money

Why does Kroger make money?

Kroger keeps a thin slice of very large sales, so small changes in costs move profit a lot.

After the cost of goods, $23.3 of every $100 of FY2025 sales was left to pay for stores, staff, rent and equipment. Operating profit was $1.3 per $100 in FY2025, after the $2.5 billion fulfillment charge, against $2.6 in FY2024. Kroger says loyalty-card data lets it sell ads to brands, a business it describes as higher-margin than grocery.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) figures and identical sales are Kroger's own measures, shown next to the official (GAAP) number and never added together. The EBITDA and free cash flow in "The numbers" are Cityfort calculations from FY2023 10-K and FY2025 10-K, not Kroger's measures.
