Walmart added one new risk disclosing potential liability exposure from illegal or inappropriate activities by independent contractors and third-party service providers. Seven existing risks underwent substantive modifications, notably strengthening disclosures around e-commerce technology system failures and their impact on omni-channel growth, as well as expanding health and wellness business risks related to reimbursement changes and contract modifications. No risks were removed, while 16 risk disclosures remained unchanged.
