FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein, as well as in other filings we make with the SEC and other written and oral information we release, including statements regarding our performance, estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions, projections, strategies for the future, or other events or developments in the future constitute “forward-looking statements” under the federal securities laws, including as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events, and use words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “target,” “prospects,” “potential,” “commit” and “forecast,” or words of similar import or meaning or refer to future time periods.
Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, the demand for our products and services, including as a result of macroeconomic conditions and changing customer preferences and expectations; net sales growth; comparable sales; the effects of competition; our brand and reputation; implementation of interconnected retail, store, supply chain, technology, innovation and other strategic initiatives, including with respect to real estate; inventory and in-stock positions; the state of the economy; the state of the housing and home improvement markets; the state of the credit markets, including mortgages, home equity loans, and consumer and trade credit; the impact of tariffs, trade policy changes or restrictions, or international trade disputes and efforts and ability to continue to diversify our supply chain; issues related to the payment methods we accept; demand for credit offerings, including trade credit; management of relationships with our associates, jobseekers, suppliers and service providers; cost and availability of labor; costs of fuel and other energy sources; events that could disrupt our business, supply chain, technology infrastructure, or demand for our products and services, such as tariffs, trade policy changes or restrictions or international trade disputes, natural disasters, climate change, public health issues, cybersecurity events, labor disputes, geopolitical conflicts, military conflicts, or acts of war; our ability to maintain a safe and secure store environment; our ability to address expectations regarding sustainability and human capital management matters and meet related goals; continuation or suspension of share repurchases; net earnings performance; earnings per share; future dividends; capital allocation and expenditures; liquidity; return on invested capital; expense leverage; changes in interest rates; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; commodity or other price inflation and deflation; our ability to issue debt on terms and at rates acceptable to us; the impact and expected outcome of investigations, inquiries, claims, and litigation, including compliance with related settlements; the challenges of operating in international markets; the adequacy of insurance coverage; the effect of accounting charges; the effect of adopting certain accounting standards; the impact of legal and regulatory changes, including executive orders and other administrative or legislative actions, such as changes to tax laws and regulations; store openings and closures; financial outlook; and the impact of acquired companies, including SRS and GMS, on our organization and the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of completed or pending acquisitions.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties — many of which are beyond our control, dependent on the actions of third parties, or currently unknown to us — as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our expectations and projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described elsewhere in this report and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the 2024 Form 10-K and elsewhere in the 2024 Form 10-K, and also as described from time to time in reports subsequently filed with the SEC. You should read such information in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report. There also may be other factors that we cannot anticipate or that are not described herein, generally because we do not currently perceive them to be material. Such factors could cause results to differ materially from our expectations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake to update these statements other than as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC and in our other public statements.

Supplier Finance Program
Income Taxes
On July 4, 2025, the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax provisions, including the allowance to expense 100% of the cost of qualified property and immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. While we continue to assess its implications, we do not expect the provisions of the OBBBA to have a material impact to our estimated fiscal 2025 effective tax rate. We have realized, and expect to continue to realize, a reduction in our fiscal 2025 cash tax payments due to the above mentioned provisions.
In fiscal 2024, the Internal Revenue Service provided automatic income tax relief to taxpayers in certain southeastern states, extending the timeline to make certain tax payments. As a result, our fourth quarter fiscal 2024 estimated federal tax payment was deferred and paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 6 | | ||||||
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended November 2, 2025 that had a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2025-06. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which is intended to modernize internal-use software guidance by removing all references to project stages and by clarifying the thresholds entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption not discussed above or in the 2024 Form 10-K are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
2.SEGMENT REPORTING AND NET SALES
Segment Reporting
The Company defines its segments based on how internally reported financial information is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our President and Chief Executive Officer, to analyze financial performance, make decisions, and allocate resources.
Primary Segment. We are engaged in retail operations and sell a wide assortment of building materials, home improvement products, lawn and garden products, décor products, and facilities maintenance, repair and operations products both in stores and online. We also provide a number of services, including home improvement installation services, and tool and equipment rental. We currently conduct these operations in the U.S. (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the territories of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam), Canada, and Mexico, each of which represents an operating segment. For disclosure purposes, we aggregate these three geographic operating segments into one reportable segment (the “Primary segment”) due to the similar nature of their operations and economic characteristics.
Other. As discussed in Note 10, in June 2024, we acquired SRS, a leading residential specialty trade distribution company across several verticals serving the professional roofer, landscaper and pool contractor through branches located throughout the U.S. On September 4, 2025, SRS completed the acquisition of GMS, a leading distributor of specialty building products, including drywall, ceilings, steel framing and other complementary construction products, through branches located across the U.S. and Canada. GMS became an additional vertical within SRS referred to as interior and construction products, and SRS is now organized as four different lines of business: roofing and building products, interior and construction products, landscape, and pool. We have determined that each of these four lines of business represents an operating segment, none of which meets the thresholds prescribed under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280: “Segment Reporting” to be deemed a reportable segment. Therefore, results from these operating segments are presented in “Other.”
Net sales presented in Other in the tables below relate to the sale of products within these non-reportable operating segments, including our recently acquired interior and construction products operating segment beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Roofing and related products accounted for approximately 50 % and 57 % of net sales in Other during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2025, respectively, and approximately 68 % and 67 % during the three and nine months ended October 27, 2024, respectively.
Segment Information. Assets are reviewed by our CODM on a total company consolidated basis and not by segment. The accounting policies of our Primary segment are the same as those described in our summary of significant accounting policies.

Note: As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we made changes that realigned certain product categories across our merchandising departments and major product lines within our Primary segment. As a result, prior-year amounts have been updated to conform with the current-year presentation. These changes had no impact on our consolidated net sales.

Deferred Revenue
For products and services sold in stores or online, payment is typically due at the point of sale. When we receive payment before the customer has taken possession of the merchandise or the service has been performed, the amount received is recorded as deferred revenue until the sale or service is complete. Such performance obligations are part of contracts with expected original durations of typically three months or less. As of both November 2, 2025 and February 2, 2025, deferred revenue for products and services was $1.5
We further record deferred revenue for the sale of gift cards and recognize the associated revenue upon the redemption of those gift cards, which generally occurs within six months of gift card issuance. As of November 2, 2025 and February 2, 2025, our performance obligations for unredeemed gift cards were $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Gift card breakage income, which is our estimate of the portion of our outstanding gift card balance not expected to be redeemed, is recognized in net sales and was immaterial during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2025 and October 27, 2024.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed our annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill for our U.S., Canada, and Mexico reporting units that reside within our Primary segment. As the results of our most recent quantitative analysis in fiscal 2023 indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its respective carrying amount, we performed a qualitative assessment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment. Based on this assessment, we concluded that while there have been events and circumstances that have both positively and negatively impacted our reporting units, no single factor or combination of factors is an indicator that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of these reporting units was less than its carrying amount.
We also completed our annual assessment of our SRS roofing and building products, landscape, and pool reporting units using a quantitative approach. The quantitative test for goodwill impairment was performed by determining the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of discounted cash flow and market-based approaches. The results of our quantitative analysis indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount, including goodwill. Additionally, due to the proximity of the GMS acquisition date to our annual impairment assessment date, we concluded that there were no events or circumstances that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill recognized in the acquisition was less than its carrying amount.

5.DEBT AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Short-Term Debt
At the beginning of fiscal 2025, we had a commercial paper program that allowed for an aggregate of $7.0 billion in borrowings, and was supported by $7.0 billion of back-up credit facilities. These backup credit facilities consisted of a five-year $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2027, a 364 -day $2.0 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2025, and a 364 -day $1.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2025.
In May 2025, we terminated all three back-up credit facility agreements and simultaneously entered into a new five-year $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2030 and a new 364 -day $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2026.
In July 2025, we increased our commercial paper program by $4.0 billion in connection with the anticipated financing of the GMS acquisition (see Note 10). In July 2025, in connection with the increase in the commercial paper program, we also entered into a new three-year $3.0 billion back-up credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2028, and a new 364 -day $1.0 billion back-up credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2026, as well as amended and restated our existing 364 -day $3.5 billion credit facility to extend the maturity from May 2026 to July 2026. In the aggregate, as of November 2, 2025, our commercial paper program allows for borrowings up to $11.0 billion and is supported by $11.0 billion of back-up credit facilities.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, all of our short term borrowings were under our commercial paper program, and the maximum amount outstanding during that period was $4.3 billion. At November 2, 2025, we had $3.2 billion of outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program with a weighted average interest rate of 4.2 % and no outstanding borrowings under our back-up credit facilities. At February 2, 2025, we had $316 million of outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.4 % and no outstanding borrowings under our back-up credit facilities.
Long-Term Debt
September 2025 Issuance. In September 2025, we issued three tranches of senior notes.
•The first tranche consisted of $500 million of 3.75 % senior notes due September 15, 2028 (the “2028 notes”) at a discount of $0.3 million. Interest on the 2028 notes is due semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2026.
•The second tranche consisted of $500 million of 3.95 % senior notes due September 15, 2030 (the “2030 notes”) at a discount of $1.8 million. Interest on the 2030 notes is due semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2026.
•The third tranche consisted of $1.0 billion of 4.65 % senior notes due September 15, 2035 (the “2035 notes”) at a discount of $3.1 million. Interest on the 2035 notes is due semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2026.
•Issuance costs for the September 2025 issuance totaled $10 million.
Redemption. Each of these senior notes may be redeemed by us at any time, in whole or in part, at the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. Prior to the relevant Par Call Date, as defined in the respective notes, the redemption price is equal to the greater of (1) 100 % of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest to the Par Call Date. On or after the relevant Par Call Date, the redemption price is equal to 100 % of the principal amount of such notes.
The indenture governing these notes does not generally limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or require us to maintain financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. The indenture governing these notes contains various covenants, none of which are expected to impact our liquidity or capital resources.
Repayments. In September 2025, we repaid our $1.0 billion 3.35 % and $750 million 4.00 % senior notes at maturity. In April 2025, we repaid our $500 million 2.70 % and $500 million 5.125 % senior notes at maturity.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We use derivative instruments as part of our normal business operations in the management of our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on certain debt. Our objective in managing these exposures is to decrease the volatility of cash flows affected by changes in the underlying rates and to minimize the risk of changes in the fair value of certain senior notes.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 12 | | ||||||
We had outstanding interest rate swap agreements with combined notional amounts of $5.4 565 million and $795 million, respectively, all of which are recognized in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. All of our interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges meet the shortcut method requirements under GAAP. Accordingly, the changes in the fair values of these agreements offset the changes in the fair value of the hedged long-term debt. At November 2, 2025 and February 2, 2025, the carrying amount of our long-term debt, excluding current installments, subject to fair value hedges was $14.6 billion and $14.3 billion, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended November 2, 2025, there was no new material hedging activity or material change to any other hedging arrangement disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K, and all related activity was immaterial for the periods presented within this report.
Collateral. We generally enter into master netting arrangements, which are designed to reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. To further limit our credit risk, we enter into collateral security arrangements that provide for collateral to be received or posted when the net fair value of certain derivative instruments exceeds or falls below contractually established thresholds. The cash collateral posted by the Company related to derivative instruments under our collateral security arrangements was $444 million and $668 million as of November 2, 2025 and February 2, 2025, respectively, which was recorded in other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We did not hold any cash collateral as of November 2, 2025 or February 2, 2025.

Share Repurchases
In August 2023, our Board of Directors approved a $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization that replaced the previous authorization of $15.0 billion, which was approved in August 2022. The August 2023 authorization does not have a prescribed expiration date. As of November 2, 2025, approximately $11.7 billion of the $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization remained available. In March 2024, we paused share repurchases and have not resumed share repurchase activity as of November 2, 2025.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 13 | | ||||||
7.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset is considered to be the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated knowledgeable and willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, rather than the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
•Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management judgment to develop the Company’s own models with estimates and assumptions.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| November 2, 2025 | February 2, 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| in millions | Fair Value (Level 2) | Fair Value (Level 2) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative agreements – assets | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative agreements – liabilities | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair values of our derivative instruments are determined using an income approach and Level 2 inputs, which primarily include the respective interest rate forward curves and discount rates. Our derivative instruments are discussed further in Note 5.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets are subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement for the assessment of impairment.
We did not have any material assets or liabilities that were measured and recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2025 or October 27, 2024. See Note 10 for discussion on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the GMS acquisition.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt, and other long-term debt approximate fair value.

9.CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, any such litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
10.ACQUISITIONS
SRS Acquisition
On June 18, 2024, we completed the acquisition of SRS, a leading residential specialty trade distribution company across several verticals serving the professional roofer, landscaper and pool contractor, for total purchase consideration of $18.0 billion. We primarily used a combination of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, the issuance of long-term debt, as well as cash on hand to fund the acquisition. In fiscal 2024, we recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated acquisition date fair values. Measurement period adjustments recognized in fiscal 2025 were immaterial, and we finalized our purchase price allocation during the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
GMS Acquisition
On June 29, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire GMS, a leading distributor of specialty building products including drywall, ceilings, steel framing and other complementary construction products, through branches located across the U.S. and Canada. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, made a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of GMS common stock for $110 per share. All conditions of the offer were satisfied, including receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, and the merger was completed on September 4, 2025. As a result of the merger, GMS became a direct subsidiary of SRS and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. We believe the GMS acquisition will enhance SRS's position as a leading multi-category building materials distributor, bringing differentiated capabilities, product categories and customer relationships that are highly complementary to SRS's existing business.
Cash consideration remitted by the Company for the purchase of all outstanding shares of GMS common stock totaled approximately $4.3 billion, and we also repaid approximately $1.2 billion of certain GMS outstanding debt concurrent with the completion of the merger. The merger consideration and repayment of GMS debt was funded through a combination of cash on hand and approximately $2.0 billion of borrowings under our commercial paper program, which were refinanced with the issuance of $2.0 billion of long-term debt in September 2025 (see Note 5).
The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805: “Business Combinations” and GMS’s results of operations have been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements effective September 4, 2025. Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not material.

(2) Primarily resulting from the difference in book and tax basis related to identifiable intangible assets.
The preliminary fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined by using certain estimates and assumptions that are not observable in the market. The Company used the multi-period excess earnings method to value the customer relationships intangible assets. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of customer relationships included forecasted revenues, customer attrition rates, and the discount rate. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives. The preliminary fair value and estimated useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

Total identifiable intangible assets | $ | ||||||||||
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 16 | | ||||||
The goodwill arising from the acquisition is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and is attributable to anticipated (i) growth acceleration in the residential and commercial professional customer (“Pro”) market; (ii) expanded capabilities and product categories; (iii) additional addressable market opportunities; (iv) enhanced delivery network capabilities; and (v) growth in sales force. We expect approximately $214 million of goodwill related to the acquisition to be deductible for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As the valuation is preliminary, we have not yet finalized the assignment of goodwill to our reporting units, and no goodwill related to the GMS acquisition currently resides in our Primary segment.
We have completed preliminary valuation analyses necessary to assess the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the acquisition date. These fair values were based on management’s estimates and assumptions; however, the amounts indicated above are preliminary in nature and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, there may be adjustments to the assigned values of acquired assets and liabilities. The primary areas that remain preliminary include, but are not limited to, intangible assets, including the preliminary assumptions used in their estimates of fair values and their respective estimated useful lives, the valuation of certain tangible assets, income taxes, and residual goodwill. The final determination of the fair values, related income tax impacts, and residual goodwill will be completed as soon as practicable, and within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date as permitted under GAAP. Any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined.
Results of Operations. Net sales attributable to GMS since the completion of the acquisition and included within our results of operations for both the three and nine months ended November 2, 2025 totaled $892
Pro forma results of operations are not presented as the effect of the acquisition was not material to our financial results.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations from management’s perspective and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this report and in the 2024 Form 10-K and with our MD&A included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 17 | | ||||||
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We reported net sales of $41.4 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Net earnings were $3.6 billion, or $3.62 per diluted share. For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, net sales were $126.5 billion and net earnings were $11.6 billion, or $11.65 per diluted share.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we opened three new stores in the U.S., resulting in a total store count of 2,356 at November 2, 2025. A total of 322 stores, or 13.7%, were located in Canada and Mexico. Our inventory turnover ratio was 4.5 times at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 4.8 times at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in our inventory turnover ratio was primarily driven by higher average inventory levels during the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we generated $13.0 billion of cash flow from operations, received $2.9 billion of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, net of repayments, and received $2.1 billion of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, net of discounts. This cash flow, together with cash on hand, was used to fund $6.9 billion in cash dividends, repay $3.4 billion of long-term debt, and fund $2.6 billion in capital expenditures. We also completed the GMS acquisition, including the repayment of certain of its outstanding debt, for aggregate cash consideration totaling approximately $5.5 billion. In February 2025, we announced a 2.2% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $2.30 per share.
Our ROIC for the trailing twelve-month period was 26.3% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and 31.5% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in ROIC was primarily driven by higher average long-term debt and higher average equity largely due to the financing of the SRS acquisition. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for our definition and calculation of ROIC.
GMS Acquisition
On June 29, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire GMS, a leading distributor of specialty building products, including drywall, ceilings, steel framing and other complementary construction products, through branches located across the U.S. and Canada. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, made a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of GMS common stock for $110 per share. All conditions of the offer were satisfied, including receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, and the merger was completed on September 4, 2025. As a result of the merger, GMS became a direct subsidiary of SRS and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. We believe the GMS acquisition will enhance SRS's position as a leading multi-category building materials distributor, bringing differentiated capabilities, product categories and customer relationships that are highly complementary to SRS's existing business. Refer to Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the merger.
Tariffs and Other Trade Policy Matters
We continue to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely. We have worked, and continue to work, diligently to diversify our global supply chain and to implement other cost mitigation initiatives. While we have experienced increased costs as a result of tariffs, our actions, including diversification efforts and modest price increases, along with our scale, vendor relationships, experienced internal teams, and other initiatives have allowed us to effectively mitigate the impact on our results of operations. We plan to continue to assess our sourcing and other mitigation strategies to maintain a strong value proposition for our customers and believe we remain well positioned to manage the impact that tariffs in effect as of the date of this filing are expected to have on our business.
As trade policy discussions and developments are ongoing, we cannot predict with certainty their ultimate impact on our business in future periods, including our results of operations and cash flows. For more information on these risks and uncertainties see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Form 10-K.

Sales
We assess our sales performance by evaluating both net sales and comparable sales. In fiscal 2025, there is a one-week calendar shift as a result of the 53rd week in fiscal 2024. For purposes of the following discussion, comparable sales, comparable customer transactions, and comparable average ticket are based upon the comparable 13-week period from fiscal 2024.
Net Sales. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were $41.4 billion, an increase of 2.8% from $40.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by sales from GMS, which was acquired on September 4, 2025 and contributed $892 million of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Net sales also increased due to the impact of a positive comparable sales environment and sales from new stores and branches, partially offset by the calendar shift which resulted in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 including one less week of summer and one additional week of fall.

Online sales, which consist of sales of products generated through websites and mobile applications, represented 15.2% of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and increased by 11.4% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Calculated on a comparable week basis relative to fiscal 2024, online sales increased by 11.0%.
A stronger U.S. dollar compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 negatively impacted net sales by $18 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
Comparable Sales. Comparable sales is a measure that highlights the performance of our existing locations and websites by measuring the change in net sales for a period over the comparable prior period of equivalent length. Comparable sales includes sales at locations, physical and online, open greater than 52 weeks (including remodels and relocations) and excludes closed stores. Acquisitions are typically included in comparable sales after they have been owned for more than 52 weeks. Fiscal 2025 includes 52 weeks and fiscal 2024 included 53 weeks. For our calculation of comparable sales in fiscal 2025, we will compare weeks 1 through 52 in fiscal 2025 against weeks 2 through 53 in fiscal 2024. Comparable sales is intended only as supplemental information and is not a substitute for net sales presented in accordance with GAAP. The method of calculating comparable sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, our method of calculating comparable sales may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Total comparable sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 0.2%, primarily reflecting a 1.8% increase in comparable average ticket, partially offset by a 1.6% decrease in comparable customer transactions compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Our comparable sales results reflect customer engagement with smaller home improvement projects, which was offset by the lack of severe weather events occurring during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, while lapping hurricane-related demand in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Our comparable sales performance for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 also reflects the impact of continued macroeconomic uncertainties and other macroeconomic factors, including a persisting high interest rate environment pressuring large home improvement project demand.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, our Kitchen & Blinds, Bath, Outdoor Garden, Storage & Organization, Electrical, Plumbing, Millwork, Hardware, and Appliances merchandising departments within our Primary segment posted positive comparable sales compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 2.9% to $13.8 billion from $13.4 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross profit margin, was 33.4% for both the third quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, and reflects lower shrink and certain supply chain benefits within our Primary segment, offset by the inclusion of GMS in our consolidated results.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are composed of SG&A and depreciation and amortization.
Selling, General & Administrative. SG&A for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $424 million, or 5.9%, to $7.6 billion from $7.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 18.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 17.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of higher payroll and related costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 within our Primary segment, along with transaction costs related to the GMS acquisition.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $31 million, or 3.9%, to $826 million from $795 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. As a percentage of net sales, depreciation and amortization was 2.0% for both the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.
Interest and Other, net
Interest and other, net was $596 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $595 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. As a percentage of net sales, interest and other, net was 1.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 1.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our combined effective income tax rate was 24.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 24.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 20 | | ||||||
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share were $3.62 for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $3.67 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in diluted earnings per share was primarily driven by lower net earnings during the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

Sales
We assess our sales performance by evaluating both net sales and comparable sales. In fiscal 2025, there is a one-week calendar shift as a result of the 53rd week in fiscal 2024. For purposes of the following discussion, comparable sales, comparable customer transactions, and comparable average ticket are based upon the comparable 39-week period from fiscal 2024.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 21 | | ||||||
Net Sales. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 were $126.5 billion, an increase of 5.6% from $119.8 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by sales resulting from our acquisitions of SRS, which was acquired on June 18, 2024, and GMS, which was acquired on September 4, 2025. In aggregate, these acquisitions contributed approximately $5.4 billion of incremental net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2025. Net sales also increased due to the impact of a positive comparable sales environment and sales from new stores. Additionally, due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2024, the first nine months of fiscal 2025 included one less week of winter and one additional week of fall, which further contributed to the increase in net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
Online sales represented 15.4% of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and increased by 10.8% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Calculated on a comparable week basis relative to fiscal 2024, online sales increased by 10.3%.
A stronger U.S. dollar compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024 negatively impacted net sales by $455 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
Comparable Sales. Total comparable sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 increased 0.3%, primarily reflecting a 1.1% increase in comparable average ticket, partially offset by a 0.8% decrease in comparable customer transactions compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted comparable sales by approximately 40 basis points for the first nine months of fiscal 2025. Our comparable sales results reflect customer engagement with smaller home improvement projects, which was offset by the impact of continued macroeconomic uncertainties and other macroeconomic factors, including a persisting high interest rate environment pressuring large home improvement project demand.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, our Storage & Organization, Bath, Outdoor Garden, Electrical, Kitchen & Blinds, Plumbing, Appliances, Indoor Garden, Building Materials, Hardware and Millwork merchandising departments within our Primary segment posted positive comparable sales compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 increased 5.3% to $42.4 billion from $40.3 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross profit margin, was 33.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to 33.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross profit margin during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 primarily reflects the inclusion of SRS and GMS in our consolidated results, partially offset by lower shrink and certain supply chain benefits within our Primary segment.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are composed of SG&A and depreciation and amortization.
Selling, General & Administrative. SG&A for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 increased $1.9 billion, or 9.1%, to $22.9 billion from $21.0 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 18.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to 17.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, which primarily reflects higher payroll and related costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 along with the impact of a non-recurring legal-related benefit recognized during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 within our Primary segment.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 increased $208 million, or 9.4%, to $2.4 billion from $2.2 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. As a percentage of net sales, depreciation and amortization was 1.9% for the first nine months of both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, which reflects increased intangible asset amortization expense related to SRS.
Interest and Other, net
Interest and other, net for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 increased $225 million, or 14.9%, to $1.7 billion from $1.5 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. As a percentage of net sales, interest and other, net was 1.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to 1.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher long-term debt balances and lower interest income in fiscal 2025, partially offset by lower average commercial paper borrowings during fiscal 2025.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 22 | | ||||||
Provision for Income Taxes
Our combined effective income tax rate was 24.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to 23.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The increase in our effective tax rate was driven by certain discrete tax benefits recognized during the first nine months of fiscal 2024.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share were $11.65 for the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared to $11.90 for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in diluted earnings per share was primarily driven by lower net earnings during the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To provide clarity on our operating performance, we supplement our reporting with certain non-GAAP financial measures. However, this supplemental information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may differ from similar measures used by other companies.
Return on Invested Capital
We believe ROIC is meaningful for management, investors and ratings agencies because it measures how effectively we deploy our capital base. ROIC is a non-GAAP profitability measure, not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We define ROIC as NOPAT, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the most recent twelve-month period, divided by average debt and equity. We define average debt and equity as the average of beginning and ending long-term debt (including current installments) and equity for the most recent twelve-month period.
The following table presents the calculation of ROIC, together with a reconciliation of NOPAT to net earnings (the most comparable GAAP financial measure):

(1)Income tax adjustment is defined as operating income multiplied by our effective tax rate for the trailing twelve months.
(2)The fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 includes 14 weeks. All other quarters include 13 weeks. Consistent with our consolidated financial statements, periods presented only include operating results for acquisitions since their respective acquisition dates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At November 2, 2025, we had $1.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents, of which $1.1 billion was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that our current cash position, cash flow generated from operations, funds available from our commercial paper program, and access to the long-term debt capital markets should be sufficient not only for our operating requirements, any required debt payments, and satisfaction of other contractual obligations, but also to enable us to invest in the business, fund dividend payments, and fund any share repurchases through the next several fiscal years. In addition, we believe that we have the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, if necessary.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 23 | | ||||||
Our material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations arising in the normal course of business. These obligations primarily include long-term debt and related interest payments, operating and finance lease obligations, and purchase obligations. In addition to our cash requirements, we follow a disciplined approach to capital allocation. This approach first prioritizes investing in the business, followed by paying dividends, with the intent of then returning excess cash to shareholders in the form of share repurchases. In March 2024, we paused share repurchases in connection with the SRS acquisition and do not have plans to resume share repurchases in fiscal 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax provisions, including the allowance to expense 100% of the cost of qualified property and immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. While we continue to assess its implications, we have realized, and expect to continue to realize, a reduction in our fiscal 2025 cash tax payments due to the above mentioned provisions.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we invested approximately $2.6 billion back into our business in the form of capital expenditures. In line with our expectation of approximately 2.5% of fiscal 2025 net sales, we plan to invest approximately $4 billion back into our business in the form of capital expenditures in fiscal 2025 across initiatives to improve the customer experience, including through technology and development of other differentiated capabilities, to continue to mature and build out Pro capabilities, as well as to build new stores. However, we may adjust our capital expenditures to support the operations of the business, to enhance long-term strategic positioning, or in response to the economic environment, as necessary or appropriate. We may also utilize strategic acquisitions, such as the GMS acquisition, to help accelerate our strategic initiatives.
In February 2025, we announced a 2.2% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $2.25 to $2.30 per share. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we paid cash dividends of $6.9 billion to shareholders. We intend to pay a dividend in the future; however, any future dividend is subject to declaration by our Board of Directors based on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors.
In August 2023, our Board of Directors approved a $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization that replaced the previous authorization of $15.0 billion, which was approved in August 2022. The August 2023 authorization does not have a prescribed expiration date. As of November 2, 2025, approximately $11.7 billion of the $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization remained available.
DEBT
At the beginning of fiscal 2025, we had a commercial paper program that allowed for an aggregate of $7.0 billion in borrowings, and was supported by $7.0 billion of back-up credit facilities. These back-up credit facilities consisted of a five-year $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2027, a 364-day $2.0 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2025, and a 364-day $1.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2025.
In May 2025, we terminated all three back-up credit facility agreements and simultaneously entered into a new five-year $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2030 and a new 364-day $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2026.
In July 2025, we increased our commercial paper program by $4.0 billion in connection with the anticipated financing of the GMS acquisition (see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements). In July 2025, in connection with the increase in the commercial paper program, we also entered into a new three-year $3.0 billion back-up credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2028, and a new 364-day $1.0 billion back-up credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2026, as well as amended and restated our existing 364-day $3.5 billion credit facility to extend the maturity from May 2026 to July 2026. In the aggregate, as of November 2, 2025, our commercial paper program allows for borrowings up to $11.0 billion and is supported by $11.0 billion of back-up credit facilities.
On September 4, 2025, we utilized approximately $2.0 billion of commercial paper borrowings, together with cash on hand, to fund the GMS acquisition. These borrowings were subsequently repaid with the $2.0 billion of proceeds from our September 2025 senior notes issuance.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, all of our short term borrowings were under our commercial paper program, and the maximum amount outstanding during that period was $4.3 billion. At November 2, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program of $3.2 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 4.2%, we had no outstanding borrowings under our back-up credit facilities, and we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in our back-up credit facilities, none of which are expected to impact our liquidity or capital resources.
Fiscal Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 24 | | ||||||
We also issue senior notes from time to time as part of our capital management strategy. As discussed above, in September 2025, we issued $2.0 billion of senior notes, which were used to repay commercial paper borrowings used to fund the GMS acquisition. Separately, during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we repaid an aggregate of $2.75 billion of senior notes at maturity.
The indentures governing our senior notes do not generally limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or require us to maintain financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. The indentures governing our notes contain various covenants, none of which are expected to impact our liquidity or capital resources. We were in compliance with all such covenants at November 2, 2025. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt arrangements.
CASH FLOWS SUMMARY
Operating Activities
Cash flow generated from operations provides us with a significant source of liquidity. Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our customers, offset by cash payments we make for products and services, associate compensation, operations, occupancy costs, and income taxes. Cash provided by or used in operating activities is also subject to changes in working capital. Working capital at any point in time is subject to many variables, including seasonality, inventory management and category expansion, the timing of cash receipts and payments, vendor payment terms, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $2.2 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024, primarily due to changes in working capital. Changes in working capital were primarily driven by the timing of vendor payments, increased inventory levels during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, and the deferral of our fourth quarter fiscal 2024 estimated federal tax payment to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This was partially offset by a reduction to our fiscal 2025 cash tax payments resulting from the OBBBA.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $12.1 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024, primarily resulting from higher cash paid for acquisitions during fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 primarily reflected $6.9 billion of cash dividends paid and $3.4 billion of repayments of long-term debt, partially offset by $2.9 billion of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, net of repayments, and $2.1 billion of net proceeds from long-term debt. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 primarily reflected $10.0 billion of net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and $1.3 billion of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, net of repayments, which were used to finance the SRS acquisition. This was partially offset by $6.7 billion of cash dividends paid, $1.4 billion of repayments of long-term debt, and $649 million of share repurchases prior to pausing share repurchases in March 2024.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, there were no changes to our critical accounting estimates or our significant accounting policies as disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For information on accounting pronouncements that have impacted or may materially impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our exposure to market risk results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates in connection with our long-term debt portfolio. We are also exposed to risks from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars and on the purchase of goods by these foreign operations that are not denominated in their local currencies. Additionally, we may experience inflation and deflation related to our purchase and sale of certain commodity products. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, there have been no material changes to our market risks from those disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of November 2, 2025.
We are in the process of an ongoing business transformation initiative, which includes upgrading and migrating certain accounting and finance systems. We plan to continue to migrate additional business processes over the course of the next few years and have modified and will continue to modify the design and implementation of certain internal control processes as the transformation continues.
Except as described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended November 2, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
There were no material changes during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 to our disclosure in Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” of our 2024 Form 10-K.
SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental regulations if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to SEC regulations, the Company uses a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. There were no changes to such proceedings meriting disclosure during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 other than those previously disclosed in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2025.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the 2024 Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently do not consider material to our business. There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K.

(1)These amounts reflect deemed repurchases pursuant to our Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated May 19, 2022 (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, participants surrender shares as payment of applicable tax withholding on the vesting of restricted stock. Participants in the Plan may also exercise stock options by surrendering shares of common stock that the participants already own as payment of the exercise price. Shares so surrendered by participants in the Plan are repurchased pursuant to the terms of the Plan and applicable award agreement and not pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase programs.
(2)On August 14, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization that replaced the previous authorization of $15.0 billion, which was approved on August 18, 2022. The August 2023 authorization does not have a prescribed expiration date. As previously disclosed, we paused share repurchases in March 2024 and have not resumed share repurchase activity as of November 2, 2025.

SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we issued 461 deferred stock units under The Home Depot, Inc. Nonemployee Directors’ Deferred Stock Compensation Plan pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of the SEC’s Regulation D thereunder. The deferred stock units were credited during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 to the accounts of those non-employee directors who elected to receive all or a portion of board retainers in the form of deferred stock units instead of cash. The deferred stock units convert to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis following a termination of service as described in the plan.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we credited 728 deferred stock units to participant accounts under the Restoration Plans pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for involuntary, non-contributory plans. The deferred stock units convert to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis following a termination of service as described in these plans.
