Walmart said Thursday that quarterly profits fell 5%, attributing much of the drop to a colder-than-usual winter.
Net income attributable to Walmart fell to $3.59 billion, from $3.78 billion a year earlier.
“Like other retailers in the United States, the unseasonably cold and disruptive weather negatively impacted U.S. sales and drove operating expenses higher than expected,” said Walmart President and CEO Doug McMillon in a statement.
Stock of the world’s largest retailer was down more than 3% in premarket trading.
