During the quarter, Kroger posted a loss of $2.02 per share compared to earnings of 98 cents per share in the same period last year. Wall Street expected the supermarket retail chain to earn $1.03 per share.

However, minus one-time costs, adjusted EPS for the quarter came in at $1.05 per share, which beat the analyst consensus of $1.03. In terms of sales, revenue rose marginally by 0.68% to $33.86 billion, well below the analyst consensus of $34.19 billion.

Despite the slower sales growth, Kroger's operating, general, and administrative expenses climbed by 44% to $8.47 billion. The Ohio-based company noted that the higher expenses were due to the offloading of its specialty pharmacy and investments in associate wages and benefits.
