80、operations.A reconciliation of non-GAAP financialmeasures to GAAP measures is provided on page18.We report after-tax return on invested capital(ROIC)because we believe ROIC provides a meaningful measure of our capital allocationeffectiveness over time.For the trailing twelve months ended April29,202
81、3,after-tax ROIC was 11.4 percent,compared with 25.3 percentfor the trailing twelve months ended April30,2022.The calculation of ROIC is provided on page 19.Business EnvironmentDuring the first quarter of 2023,sales growth in our Frequency categories(Beauty&Household Essentials and Food&Beverage)was
82、 offsetby decreases in our Discretionary categories(Apparel&Accessories,Hardlines,and Home Furnishings&Decor).Inventory as of April 29,2023 decreased compared with January 28,2023 and April 30,2022.This decrease was driven by actions we took during 2022 andstrategies we employed to align inventories
83、 with sales trends,as well as improvements in the supply chain that reduced in-transit inventory.These improvements have resulted in a reduction in costs related to managing elevated inventory levels and reduced our working capitalinvestment.In addition,we experienced a significant decrease in freig
84、ht costs due to a decline in freight rates compared to 2022.We continue to experience higher inventory shrink,as a percentage of sales,relative to historical levels including significantly highershrink rates at certain stores.We believe that this trend is pervasive across the retail industry.Increas
85、ed shrink has had,and if current trendspersist will continue to have,an adverse impact on our results of operations,including potential impairment of our long-lived assets.The Gross Margin Rate analysis on page 16 and the Inventory section on page 20 provide additional information.TARGET CORPORATION
