Kroger Company, a leading American retail company, operates a network of supermarkets and eCommerce platforms, serving millions of customers daily with a focus on food and grocery retailing.
In its third quarter of 2025, Kroger reported a mixed financial performance with significant strategic developments. The company highlighted a notable increase in eCommerce sales and completed a strategic review aimed at making its eCommerce business profitable by 2026.
Key financial metrics for the quarter included a 2.6% increase in identical sales excluding fuel and a 17% rise in eCommerce sales. Despite these gains, the company reported an operating loss of $1,541 million, primarily due to a $2.6 billion impairment charge related to its automated fulfillment network.

Kroger’s strategic initiatives included an accelerated share repurchase program and a focus on improving customer experience and operational efficiency. The company also made a significant contribution to multi-employer pension plans, impacting its operating expenses.
Looking ahead, Kroger remains committed to driving long-term growth through strategic investments and maintaining its financial health. The company has updated its full-year guidance, narrowing its identical sales growth forecast and slightly raising its adjusted EPS outlook for 2025.
