Segment Reporting And Net Sales | SEGMENT REPORTING AND NET SALES The Company defines its segments on the basis of the way in which 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. The Company is engaged in the operation of retail stores and sells 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 operating segments into one reportable segment (the Primary segment) due to the similar nature of their operations and economic characteristics. 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 its branches located throughout the U.S. SRS is organized as three different lines of business: roofing and complementary building products, landscape, and pool. We have determined each of these three lines of business represents an operating segment, none of which meet the thresholds prescribed under Topic 280 to be deemed a reportable segment. The following presents a reconciliation of the results of our Primary segment to our consolidated totals: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended July 28, 2024 July 28, 2024 in millions Primary Segment Other Consolidated Primary Segment Other Consolidated Net sales $ 41,901 $ 1,274 $ 43,175 $ 78,319 $ 1,274 $ 79,593 Operating income (1) 6,462 72 6,534 11,541 72 11,613 Interest income and other, net (84) (141) Interest expense 573 1,058 Earnings before provision for income taxes $ 6,045 $ 10,696 ————— (1) Includes intangible asset amortization expense of $51 million and $103 million for the three and six months ended July 28, 2024, respectively, in our Primary segment, and intangible asset amortization expense of $39 million for both the three and six months ended July 28, 2024 in Other. “Other” in the table above represents our SRS operations and is reflective of partial period results beginning from the acquisition date of June 18, 2024. Net sales in the Other category relate to the sale of products by SRS, with roofing and related products accounting for approximately 65% of sales in Other during both the three and six months ended July 28, 2024. Prior to the acquisition of SRS, our total Company consolidated results represented our Primary segment and therefore, a reconciliation to our consolidated totals is not applicable for the three and six months ended July 30, 2023. The following table presents our Primary segment major product lines and the related merchandising departments (and related services): Major Product Line Merchandising Departments Building Materials Building Materials, Electrical, Lumber, Millwork, and Plumbing Décor Appliances, Bath, Flooring, Kitchen & Blinds, Lighting, and Paint Hardlines Hardware, Indoor Garden, Outdoor Garden, Power, and Storage & Organization The following table presents net sales by major product line (and related services), as well as Other net sales: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended in millions July 28, July 30, July 28, July 30, Building Materials $ 13,935 $ 14,268 $ 26,549 $ 27,261 Décor 13,591 13,863 25,935 26,567 Hardlines 14,375 14,785 25,835 26,345 Primary segment net sales 41,901 42,916 78,319 80,173 Other net sales (1) 1,274 — 1,274 — Net sales $ 43,175 $ 42,916 $ 79,593 $ 80,173 ————— (1) Represents SRS net sales since the acquisition date of June 18, 2024. See discussion above for information on the components of Other net sales. Note: During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we made certain changes to our merchandising department structure that realign certain merchandising departments across our major product lines. As a result, prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current-year presentation. These changes had no impact on consolidated net sales. The following table presents net sales, classified by geography: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended in millions July 28, July 30, July 28, July 30, Net sales – in the U.S. $ 39,513 $ 39,191 $ 73,082 $ 73,698 Net sales – outside the U.S. 3,662 3,725 6,511 6,475 Net sales $ 43,175 $ 42,916 $ 79,593 $ 80,173 The following table presents net sales by products and services: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended in millions July 28, July 30, July 28, July 30, Net sales – products $ 41,605 $ 41,361 $ 76,683 $ 77,249 Net sales – services 1,570 1,555 2,910 2,924 Net sales $ 43,175 $ 42,916 $ 79,593 $ 80,173 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 July 28, 2024 and January 28, 2024, deferred revenue for products and services was $1.8 billion and $1.7 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 July 28, 2024 and January 28, 2024, 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 six months ended July 28, 2024 and July 30, 2023. |
