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 may 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, our brand and reputation; 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; implementation of interconnected, store, supply chain, technology, innovation and other strategic initiatives, including with respect to real estate; inventory, on-shelf availability, 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, and labor disputes; geopolitical tensions or 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 and margin performance; earnings per share; future dividends; capital allocation and expenditures; productivity; liquidity; ROIC; expense and debt 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; the timing and expected impact of organizational changes, including within the Company's senior leadership team; 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 2025 Form 10-K and elsewhere in the 2025 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.

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 home improvement products, building materials, 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. Through our SRS distribution operations, we are a leading specialty trade distributor of roofing and building products, interior and construction products, and outdoor living products, which consist of landscape and pool supplies. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, SRS completed the acquisition of Mingledorff’s (see Note 10), which distributes heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, parts, and supplies. The acquisition of Mingledorff’s resulted in the creation of a new vertical within SRS, and SRS is now organized into five lines of business: 1) roofing and building products, 2) interior and construction products, 3) landscape, 4) pool, and 5) HVAC products. Each of these five lines of business represents an operating segment, none of which meets the thresholds prescribed under Topic 280 to be deemed a reportable segment. Therefore, results from these operating segments are presented in “Other.”
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.
The following table presents net sales, significant expenses, and operating income for our Primary segment:

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 August 2, 2026 and February 1, 2026, deferred revenue for products and services was $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.
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 August 2, 2026 and February 1, 2026, 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 for the three and six months ended August 2, 2026 and August 3, 2025.

5.DEBT AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Short-Term Debt
We have a commercial paper program that allows for an aggregate of $11.0 billion in borrowings, and is supported by $11.0 billion of back-up credit facilities. At the beginning of fiscal 2026, these back-up credit facilities consisted of a five-year $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2030, a 364 -day $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2026, a three-year $3.0 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2028, and a 364 -day $1.0 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2026. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into a new 364 -day $4.5 billion back-up credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2027. This facility replaced our prior 364 -day $3.5 billion and 364 -day $1.0 billion back-up credit facilities, which were scheduled to expire in July 2026.
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, all of our short-term borrowings were under our commercial paper program, and the maximum amount outstanding during that period was $6.2 billion. At August 2, 2026, we had $4.2 billion of outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program with a weighted average interest rate of 3.8 % and no outstanding borrowings under our back-up credit facilities. At February 1, 2026, we had $4.5 billion of outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program with a weighted average interest rate of 3.7 % and no outstanding borrowings under our back-up credit facilities.
Long-Term Debt
We did no t have any issuances of senior notes during the first six months of fiscal 2026. In April 2026, we repaid our $1.3 billion 3.00 % senior notes at maturity. In June 2026, we repaid our $1.5 billion 5.15 % 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.
We had outstanding interest rate swap agreements with combined notional amounts of $5.4 621 million and $558 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 August 2, 2026 and February 1, 2026, the carrying amount of our long-term debt, excluding current installments, subject to fair value hedges was $14.5 billion and $14.6 billion, respectively.
During the three and six months ended August 2, 2026, there was no new material hedging activity or material change to any other hedging arrangement disclosed in our 2025 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 $498 million and $459 million as of August 2, 2026 and February 1, 2026, respectively, which was recorded in other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We did not hold any cash collateral from counterparties as of August 2, 2026 or February 1, 2026.

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:

| $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ( | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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.
Fiscal Q2 2026 Form 10-Q | 13 | | ||||||
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 six months ended August 2, 2026 or August 3, 2025.
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
Mingledorff's Acquisition
On May 11, 2026, we through our wholly owned subsidiary SRS, completed the acquisition of Mingledorff's, a leading wholesale distributor of HVAC equipment, parts, and supplies across the southeastern U.S., for total preliminary cash purchase consideration of approximately $1.1 billion. We have performed a preliminary purchase price allocation and recorded the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including aggregate definite-lived intangible assets of $410 million with a weighted average amortization period of 21 years, and goodwill of $412 million. Net sales and net earnings attributable to Mingledorff’s for both the three and six months ended August 2, 2026 were immaterial. Pro forma results of operations are not presented as the effect of the acquisition was not material to our financial results.
GMS Acquisition
On September 4, 2025, we 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, for total cash purchase consideration of $5.1 billion. In fiscal 2025, we recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated acquisition date fair values. Areas that remain preliminary as of August 2, 2026 primarily relate to income taxes, as well as any changes to residual goodwill resulting from measurement period adjustments. Measurement period adjustments recognized in the first six months of fiscal 2026 were immaterial.

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 2025 Form 10-K and with our MD&A included in the 2025 Form 10-K.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, net sales were $47.9 billion and net earnings were $4.8 billion, or $4.79 per diluted share. For the first six months of fiscal 2026, net sales were $89.6 billion and net earnings were $8.1 billion, or $8.09 per diluted share.
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we generated $11.4 billion of cash flow from operations. This cash flow, together with cash on hand, was used to fund $4.6 billion in cash dividends, repay $3.0 billion of long-term debt, fund $1.7 billion in capital expenditures, and fund $1.3 billion in acquisitions.
In February 2026, we announced a 1.3% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $2.33 per share.
Our inventory turnover ratio was 4.5 times at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 4.6 times at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Our ROIC for the trailing twelve-month period was 24.8% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 27.2% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in ROIC was primarily driven by higher average equity due to our ongoing pause in share repurchases. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for our definition and calculation of ROIC.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we opened three new stores in the U.S., resulting in a total store count of 2,364 at August 2, 2026. A total of 325 stores, or 13.7%, were located in Canada and Mexico. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we also operated over 1,340 locations within our SRS non-reportable operating segments throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Tariffs and Other Trade Policy Matters
We continue to monitor developments related to tariffs and other trade policy matters, including the effects of the U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), ongoing litigation, and the implementation of additional tariffs. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we began receiving IEEPA tariff refunds pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, and as of August 2, 2026, we had received approximately $730 million in IEEPA tariff refunds, representing the vast majority of our expected refunds. Approximately $685 million of these refunds were recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold, with the remaining amount recorded as a reduction of inventory cost, nearly all within our Primary segment. Interest received in connection with the IEEPA tariff refunds was recognized within interest income and other, net on the consolidated statement of earnings.
As tariff and trade policy discussions are ongoing and related matters continue to evolve, 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 2025 Form 10-K.

Sales
We assess our sales performance by evaluating both net sales and comparable sales.
Net Sales. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $47.9 billion, an increase of 5.7% from $45.3 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by sales from GMS, which was acquired on September 4, 2025 and contributed $1.4 billion of incremental net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as well as the impact of a positive comparable sales environment. Net sales also increased due to sales from our acquisition of Mingledorff’s as well as sales from new stores and branches.
Online sales represented 16.6% of net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and increased by 11.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Online sales consist of sales of products generated through websites and mobile applications and do not include results from HD Supply or SRS.
Fiscal Q2 2026 Form 10-Q | 16 | | ||||||
A weaker U.S. dollar compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 positively impacted net sales by $105 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
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. 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 second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 1.7%, primarily reflecting a 2.8% increase in comparable average ticket, partially offset by a 1.0% decrease in comparable customer transactions compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Foreign exchange rates positively impacted comparable sales by approximately 25 basis points for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Our comparable sales results reflect customer engagement with smaller repair and maintenance projects, despite the impact of consumer uncertainty and housing affordability pressure on home improvement demand.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, our Storage & Organization, Electrical, Hardware, Power, Plumbing, Indoor Garden, Kitchen & Blinds, Paint, Bath, Outdoor Garden, Building Materials, Flooring, and Millwork merchandising departments within our Primary segment posted positive comparable sales compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 6.5% to $16.1 billion from $15.1 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross profit margin, was 33.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 33.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 reflects the benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds, largely offset by incremental cost pressures related to fuel, energy, and other product input costs, as well as 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 second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $660 million, or 8.5%, to $8.4 billion from $7.8 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 17.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 17.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily reflecting higher operating costs relative to comparable sales performance.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $46 million, or 5.7%, to $852 million from $806 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. As a percentage of net sales, depreciation and amortization was 1.8% for both the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025.
Interest and Other, net
Interest and other, net was $524 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $550 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. As a percentage of net sales, interest and other, net was 1.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 1.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and reflects higher interest income due to interest received from IEEPA tariff refunds during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our combined effective income tax rate was 24.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 24.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share were $4.79 for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $4.58 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in diluted earnings per share was primarily driven by higher net earnings during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Sales
We assess our sales performance by evaluating both net sales and comparable sales.
Net Sales. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2026 were $89.6 billion, an increase of 5.3% from $85.1 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2025. The increase in net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by sales from GMS which contributed approximately $2.8 billion of incremental net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2026, as well as the impact of a positive comparable sales environment. Net sales also increased due to sales from new stores and branches, as well as our acquisition of Mingledorff’s.
Online sales represented 16.5% of net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2026 and increased by 10.8% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025.
A weaker U.S. dollar compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025 positively impacted net sales by $325 million during the first six months of fiscal 2026.
Comparable Sales. Total comparable sales for the first six months of fiscal 2026 increased 1.2%, primarily reflecting a 2.5% increase in comparable average ticket, partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in comparable customer transactions compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025. Foreign exchange rates positively impacted comparable sales by approximately 40 basis points for the first six months of fiscal 2026. Our comparable sales
Fiscal Q2 2026 Form 10-Q | 18 | | ||||||
results reflect customer engagement with smaller repair and maintenance projects, despite the impact of consumer uncertainty and housing affordability pressure on home improvement demand.
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, our Storage & Organization, Hardware, Power, Electrical, Plumbing, Indoor Garden, Bath, Paint, Kitchen & Blinds, and Outdoor Garden merchandising departments within our Primary segment posted positive comparable sales compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2026 increased 4.6% to $29.9 billion from $28.6 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross profit margin, was 33.4% for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to 33.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2025. The decrease in gross profit margin during the first six months of fiscal 2026 reflects the inclusion of GMS in our consolidated results, as well as incremental cost pressures related to fuel, energy, and other product input costs, largely offset by the benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are composed of SG&A and depreciation and amortization.
Selling, General & Administrative. SG&A for the first six months of fiscal 2026 increased $1.1 billion, or 7.1%, to $16.4 billion from $15.3 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2025. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 18.3% for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to 18.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2025, primarily reflecting higher operating costs relative to comparable sales performance.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of fiscal 2026 increased $91 million, or 5.7%, to $1.7 billion from $1.6 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2025. As a percentage of net sales, depreciation and amortization was 1.9% for the first six months of both fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025.
Interest and Other, net
Interest and other, net was $1.1 billion for the first six months of both fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025. As a percentage of net sales, interest and other, net was 1.3% for the first six months of both fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our combined effective income tax rate was 24.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to 24.3% for the first six months of fiscal 2025.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share were $8.09 for the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to $8.03 for the first six months of fiscal 2025. The increase in diluted earnings per share was primarily driven by higher net earnings during the first six months of fiscal 2026.
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 August 2, 2026, we had $2.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, of which $1.4 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 or appropriate.
Our material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations arising in the normal course of business. Our contractual obligations 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 2026 as we seek to reduce our outstanding debt.
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we invested $1.7 billion back into our business in the form of capital expenditures. We plan to invest approximately $4 billion back into our business in the form of capital expenditures in fiscal 2026, in line with our expectation of approximately 2.5% of projected fiscal 2026 net sales. We expect to make investments across initiatives supporting our strategy of driving our core and culture, including building new stores and maintaining existing stores, delivering a frictionless interconnected experience, and winning with Pros. However, as in the past, 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 acquisitions to help accelerate our strategic initiatives.
In February 2026, we announced a 1.3% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $2.30 to $2.33 per share. During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we paid cash dividends of $4.6 billion to shareholders. We intend to pay a dividend in the future; however, any future dividend is subject to declaration by our Board based on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by our Board.
In August 2023, our Board 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 August 2, 2026, approximately $11.7 billion of the $15.0 billion share repurchase authorization remained available.
Fiscal Q2 2026 Form 10-Q | 20 | | ||||||
DEBT
We have a commercial paper program that allows for an aggregate of $11.0 billion in borrowings, and is supported by $11.0 billion of back-up credit facilities. At the beginning of fiscal 2026, these back-up credit facilities consisted of a five-year $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in May 2030, a 364-day $3.5 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2026, a three-year $3.0 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2028, and a 364-day $1.0 billion credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2026. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into a new 364-day $4.5 billion back-up credit facility scheduled to expire in July 2027. This facility replaced our prior 364-day $3.5 billion and 364-day $1.0 billion back-up credit facilities, which were scheduled to expire in July 2026.
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, all of our short-term borrowings were under our commercial paper program. We utilized commercial paper borrowings to support general liquidity, including the repayment of long-term debt, and the maximum amount outstanding during the first six months of fiscal 2026 was $6.2 billion. At August 2, 2026, we had outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program of $4.2 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 3.8%, 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.
We also issue senior notes from time to time. We did not have any issuances of senior notes during the first six months of fiscal 2026. During the first six months of fiscal 2026, we repaid an aggregate of $2.8 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 August 2, 2026. 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 increased by $2.5 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025, primarily due to changes in working capital. Changes in working capital were primarily driven by timing of vendor payments and inventory management, along with the deferral of our fourth quarter fiscal 2024 estimated federal tax payment to the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which resulted in fewer income tax payments in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $1.1 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025, primarily resulting from higher cash paid for acquisitions during the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 primarily reflected $4.6 billion of cash dividends paid and $3.0 billion of repayments of long-term debt. Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2025 primarily reflected $4.6 billion of cash dividends paid and $1.2 billion of repayments of long-term debt.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
During the first six months of fiscal 2026, there were no changes to our critical accounting estimates or our significant accounting policies as disclosed in the 2025 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 six months of fiscal 2026, there were no material changes to our market risks from those disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Under the direction and with the participation of our Principal Financial Officer and Interim Principal Executive 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 August 2, 2026.
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 August 2, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1)These amounts reflect deemed repurchases pursuant to our Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated May 19, 2022 (the “Omnibus Plan”). Under the Omnibus Plan, participants surrender shares as payment of applicable tax withholding on the vesting of restricted stock. Participants in the Omnibus 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 Omnibus Plan are repurchased pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and applicable award agreement and not pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase programs.
(2)On August 14, 2023, our Board 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. We paused share repurchases in March 2024 and had not resumed share repurchase activity as of August 2, 2026.
(3)Excludes excise taxes incurred on share repurchases.
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we issued 3,113 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 second quarter of fiscal 2026 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 second quarter of fiscal 2026, we credited 876 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.
Item 5. Other Information.
