HOME DEPOT, INC.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

There were no material changes during the first six 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. Accordingly, below we have provided an update regarding the civil consent decree we entered into with the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), and the states of Utah, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island in April 2021.

As previously reported, including in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the decree required certain changes to lead-safe work practices in our installation services business and provided for stipulated penalties for failure to perform by third-party installers. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we made the final payment of stipulated penalties owed under the decree, and we are now working with the EPA to terminate the decree. The aggregate amount of stipulated penalties paid to the EPA under the decree totaled approximately $1.7 million, and we have collected fines from our third-party installers for the approximately $1.7 million paid.
