Business

Founded in 1971, GMS Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), through its operating subsidiaries, operates a network of more than 320 distribution centers with extensive product offerings of wallboard, ceilings, steel framing and complementary construction products. The Company also operates nearly 100 tool sales, rental and service centers. Through these operations, the Company provides a comprehensive selection of building products and solutions for its residential and commercial contractor customer base across the United States and Canada. The Company’s operating model combines the benefits of a national platform and strategy with a local go-to-market focus, enabling the Company to generate significant economies of scale while maintaining high levels of customer service.

On June 29, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with The Home Depot, Inc. (“Parent” or “The Home Depot”) and Gold Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Parent agreed to acquire the Company. See Note 2, “Business Combinations,” for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the contemplated transaction.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of contracted goods to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company includes shipping and handling costs billed to customers in net sales. These costs are recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

See Note 13, “Segments,” for information regarding disaggregation of revenue, including revenue by product and by geographic area.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The new guidance will apply on a prospective basis to annual financial statements for periods beginning after the effective date. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance requiring additional disclosures of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and is to be applied prospectively with the option to adopt retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
