KMART CORPORATION REPORTS AUGUST SALES RESULTS

TROY, Mich., September 5, 2020--Kmart Corporation (NYSE: KM) today reported, on a comparable store basis, consolidated sales increased 1.0% for the four week period ended August 28, 2020 over sales for the four weeks ended August 23, 2020. August sales in U.S. Kmart stores increased 1.4% on a comparable store basis over the same period.

Total sales for the month from consolidated operations were $2.462 billion in August 2020, a decrease of 2.5% versus sales of $2.525 billion for the same period last year.

Sales from consolidated operations for the 30 weeks ended August 28, 2020 were $18.354 billion, down 0.3% from $18.406 billion for the first 30 weeks of 2020. On a comparable store basis, U.S. Kmart stores rose 2.7% for the same period.

"While these sales results are improved from July's levels, Kmart's performance remains below plan," said Floyd Hall, Chairman, President, and CEO. "August back to school sales were satisfactory in denim and basic apparel, although sales of women's apparel continued to be soft. Specific areas showing strength throughout the month included menswear, stationery, paint, electronics, health and beauty aids, and pharmacy."
