The Home Depot stores average approximately 104,000 square feet of enclosed space, with approximately 24,000 additional square feet of outside garden area. We also maintain a network of distribution and fulfillment centers, as well as mobile applications and e-commerce websites in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. For disclosure purposes, the geographic operating segments of the U.S., Canada and Mexico are aggregated into one reportable segment (the “Primary segment”). In fiscal 2024, we acquired SRS, a leading residential specialty trade distribution company across several verticals engaged in the distribution of residential and commercial roofing products and complementary building products, landscape supplies, and swimming pool supplies serving the professional roofer, landscaper, and pool contractor. In fiscal 2025, SRS completed the acquisition of GMS, a leading distributor of specialty building products, including drywall, ceilings, steel framing and other complementary construction products. At the end of fiscal 2025, SRS, which includes GMS, operated over 1,250 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, most of which have a distribution center, material handling and delivery equipment, and inventory. Following the GMS acquisition, SRS is organized as four different lines of business: roofing and building products, interior and construction products, landscape, and pool. Each line of business was determined to represent an operating segment, none of which are deemed reportable segments. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, when we refer to “The Home Depot,” “Home Depot,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this report, we are referring to The Home Depot, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
