Second Quarter of Fiscal 2022 Results
Net sales and other revenue was $17.9 billion during the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2022 ("second quarter of fiscal 2022") compared to $16.5 billion during the 12 weeks ended September 11, 2021 ("second quarter of fiscal 2021"). The increase was driven by the Company's 7.4% increase in identical sales and higher fuel sales, with retail price inflation driving the identical sales increase.
Gross margin rate decreased to 27.9% during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 28.6% during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the impact of fuel and LIFO expense, gross margin rate decreased 43 basis points compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by increases in product and supply chain costs, increases in picking and delivery costs related to the growth in digital sales, and fewer COVID-19 vaccines in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, partially offset by the benefits of ongoing productivity initiatives.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 25.0% of Net sales and other revenue during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 25.6% during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the impact of fuel, Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales and other revenue decreased 31 basis points. The decrease in Selling and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the benefit of ongoing productivity initiatives, together with lower COVID-19 related expenses and sales leverage, partially offset by investments related to the acceleration of the Company's digital and omnichannel capabilities, market-driven wage rate increases and higher depreciation and amortization.
Net gain on property dispositions and impairment losses was $14.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $0.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Interest expense, net was $89.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $109.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Other income, net was $18.9 million during both the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Income tax expense was $117.4 million, representing a 25.5% effective tax rate, during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $100.3 million, representing a 25.4% effective tax rate, during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Net income was $342.7 million, or $0.59 per share, during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $295.2 million, or $0.52 per share, during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Adjusted net income was $418.3 million, or $0.72 per share, during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $369.5 million, or $0.64 per share, during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $1,048.5 million, or 5.9% of Net sales and other revenue, during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $965.4 million, or 5.8% of Net sales and other revenue, during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Recent Developments
On October 13, 2022, as disclosed in an 8-K filed on October 14, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with The Kroger Company ("Kroger") and Kettle Merger Sub, Inc. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Kroger (through Kettle Merger Sub, Inc.) will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common and preferred stock (on an as-converted basis) for an estimated total consideration of $34.10 per share. Details regarding the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement can be found in the 8-K filed on October 14, 2022 and the joint press release issued by the Company and Kroger on October 14, 2022. As part of the transaction, the Company will pay a special cash dividend of up to $4 billion to its stockholders. The cash component of the $34.10 per share consideration will be reduced by the per share amount of the special cash dividend, which is expected to be approximately $6.85 per share. This cash dividend will be payable on November 7, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 24, 2022.
In addition, as disclosed in an 8-K filed on October 17, 2022, the Company entered into extended lock-up agreements with entities affiliated with five of its largest stockholders (Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., Kimco Realty Corporation, Klaff Realty, L.P., Lubert-Adler Partners and Jubilee Limited Partnership), who the Company refers to as its Sponsors, and a lock-up agreement with HPS Investment Partners, LLC ("HPS").

The "forward-looking statements" include our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include:

- changes in market interest rates and wage rates;
- changes in retail consumer behavior, including in the digital space;

Non-GAAP Measures and Identical Sales
Non-GAAP Measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per Class A common share and Net debt ratio (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are performance measures that provide supplemental information the Company believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate its ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, gross margin, and net income per Class A common share. These Non-GAAP Measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing the Company's ongoing operating performance, and thereby provide useful measures of its operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and provide for different adjustments, and comparability to the Company's results of operations may be impacted by such differences. The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA and Net debt ratio for board of director and bank compliance reporting. The Company's presentation of Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as an implication that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
Identical Sales. As used in this earnings release, the term "identical sales" includes stores operating during the same period in both the current fiscal year and the prior fiscal year, comparing sales on a daily basis. Direct to consumer digital sales are included in identical sales, and fuel sales are excluded from identical sales.
