HOME DEPOT, INC.

We reported net sales of $164.7 billion in fiscal 2025. Net earnings were $14.2 billion, or $14.23 per diluted share.

During fiscal 2025, we generated $16.3 billion of cash flow from operations, received $4.1 billion of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, net of repayments, and received $2.2 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 $9.2 billion in cash dividends, repay $5.0 billion of long-term debt, and fund $3.7 billion in capital expenditures. As described below, we also completed the GMS acquisition for aggregate cash consideration totaling approximately $5.5 billion, including the repayment of certain of GMS’s outstanding debt.

In February 2026, we announced a 1.3% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $2.33 per share.

Our inventory turnover ratio was 4.4 times at the end of fiscal 2025, compared to 4.7 times at the end of fiscal 2024. The decrease in our inventory turnover ratio was primarily driven by higher average inventory levels during fiscal 2025.

Our ROIC was 25.7% for fiscal 2025 and 31.3% for fiscal 2024. The decrease in ROIC was primarily driven by higher average equity due to our ongoing pause in share repurchases and higher average long-term debt largely due to the financing of the SRS acquisition. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for our definition and calculation of ROIC.

During fiscal 2025, we opened ten new stores in the U.S. and two new stores in Mexico, resulting in a total store count of 2,359 at February 1, 2026. A total of 324 of our stores, or 13.7%, were located in Canada and Mexico. At the end of fiscal 2025, we also operated over 1,250 locations within our SRS non-reportable operating segments throughout the U.S. and Canada.

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 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the acquisition.

Tariffs and Other Trade Policy Matters

We continue to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely, including impacts from the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. We have worked, and continue to work, diligently to diversify our global supply chain and to implement other cost mitigation initiatives. While we experienced increased costs as a result of tariffs in fiscal 2025, our actions, including diversification efforts and some price increases, along with our scale, vendor relationships, experienced internal teams, and other initiatives 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 are ongoing and related developments 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.
