SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Home Depot, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Home Depot,” “we,” “our” or “us”), have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. As a result, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Form 10-K. During the nine months ended October 27, 2024, there were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we completed the acquisition of SRS. Refer to Note 2 and Note 10 for further discussion on the acquisition, including certain impacts of the acquisition on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Effective July 28, 2024, we began separately presenting intangible assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets, which were previously included in the other assets line item. In addition, we began separately presenting intangible asset amortization on the statements of cash flows, which was previously included in the depreciation and amortization line item. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.

Receivables, net

The following table presents components of receivables, net:


in millions	October 27, 2024		January 28, 2024
Card receivables	$	1,229	$	988
Rebate receivables	1,688		841
Customer receivables	2,321		924
Other receivables	544		575
Receivables, net	$	5,782	$	3,328

Card receivables consist of payments due from financial institutions for the settlement of credit card and debit card transactions. Rebate receivables represent amounts due from vendors for volume and co-op advertising rebates. Customer receivables relate to credit extended directly to certain customers in the ordinary course of business, which increased compared to the beginning of the year primarily as a result of the SRS acquisition. The valuation allowance related to our receivables was not material to our consolidated financial statements at October 27, 2024 or January 28, 2024.

Supplier Finance Program

We have a supplier finance program whereby participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, elect to receive payment for one or more of our payment obligations, prior to their scheduled due dates, at a discounted price from participating financial institutions. The payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers are consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program, and we are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institutions and the suppliers in connection with the program. We do not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur for participation in the program, and we have not pledged any assets as security or provided any guarantees as part of the program. Our outstanding payment obligations under our supplier finance program were $533 million at October 27, 2024 and $514 million at January 28, 2024 and are recorded within accounts payable on our consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

We did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended October 27, 2024 that had a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2024-03. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring disaggregated disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of prescribed categories of expenses within relevant income statement captions. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption not discussed above or in the 2023 Form 10-K are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
