Effective Nov. 1, 2022, Publix’s stock price decreased from $13.84 per share to $13.19 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.

“Unfortunately the stock market continues to be a challenge, but I could not be more proud of Publix’s response to Hurricane Ian,” said Publix CEO Todd Jones. “Our associates’ efforts to serve our customers, our communities and each other during this difficult time have been amazing.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results for the three and nine months ended Sept. 24, 2022 and Sept. 25, 2021 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. All applicable share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split.
