LAKELAND, Fla., Aug. 1, 2024 Publix’s sales for the three months ended June 29, 2024 were $14.5 billion, a 3.1% increase from $14.1 billion in 2023. The company estimates sales were negatively impacted by 1.1% due to the effect of the Easter holiday being in the first quarter in 2024.

Excluding the impact of net unrealized gains on equity securities in 2024 and 2023, net earnings for the three months ended June 29, 2024 would have been $940 million, compared to $1 billion in 2023, a decrease of 9.8%. Earnings per share for the three months ended June 29, 2024 would have been $0.29 per share, compared to $0.31 per share in 2023.
Publix’s sales for the six months ended June 29, 2024 were $29.6 billion, a 4.1% increase from $28.4 billion in 2023. Comparable store sales for the six months ended June 29, 2024 increased 2%.

These amounts are based on unaudited financial statements that will be filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and made available on the company’s website at corporate.publix.com/stock.


Effective Aug. 1, 2024, Publix’s stock price increased from $16.25 per share to $16.46 per share. Publix stock is not publicly traded and is made available for sale only to current Publix associates and members of its board of directors.
“Our associates make a difference for our customers and communities every day,” said Publix CEO Kevin Murphy. “I’m thankful for their efforts and commitment.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results for the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company presents net earnings and earnings per share excluding the impact of equity securities being measured at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value recognized in earnings (fair value adjustment). These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The company excludes the impact of the fair value adjustment since it is primarily due to temporary equity market fluctuations that do not reflect the company’s operations. The company believes this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of operations.
Following is a reconciliation of net earnings to net earnings excluding the impact of the fair value adjustment for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023:
