Publix Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results and Stock Price

LAKELAND, Fla., Aug. 1, 2013 - Publix's sales for the second quarter of 2013 were $7 billion, a 3.8 percent increase from last year's $6.8 billion. Sales for the second quarter of 2013 were negatively impacted by approximately 1.3 percent due to the Easter holiday being in the first quarter of 2013, but in the second quarter of 2012. Comparable-store sales for the second quarter of 2013 increased 2.1 percent.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2013 were $400.9 million, compared to $381.6 million in 2012, an increase of 5 percent. Earnings per share for the second quarter increased to $0.51 for 2013, up from $0.49 per share in 2012.

Publix's sales for the first half of 2013 were $14.5 billion, a 5 percent increase from last year's $13.9 billion. Comparable-store sales for the first half of 2013 increased 3 percent.

Net earnings for the first half of 2013 were $872.1 million, compared to $791 million in 2012, an increase of 10.3 percent. Earnings per share increased to $1.12 for the first half of 2013, up from $1.01 per share in 2012.

These amounts are based on unaudited reports that will be filed next week with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company's quarterly report to the SEC, Form 10-Q, will be available Aug. 8 on its website at www.publix.com/stock.
