ACQUISITIONS

SRS Acquisition

On June 18, 2024, we completed the acquisition of SRS, a leading residential specialty trade distribution company across several verticals serving the professional roofer, landscaper and pool contractor, for total purchase consideration of $18.0 billion. We primarily used a combination of proceeds from commercial paper borrowings, the issuance of long-term debt, as well as cash on hand to fund the acquisition. In fiscal 2024, we recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated acquisition date fair values. Measurement period adjustments recognized in fiscal 2025 were immaterial, and we finalized our purchase price allocation during the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

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.

Cash consideration remitted by the Company for the purchase of all outstanding shares of GMS common stock totaled approximately $4.3 billion, and we also repaid approximately $1.2 billion of certain GMS outstanding debt concurrent with the completion of the merger. The merger consideration and repayment of GMS debt was funded through a combination of cash on hand and approximately $2.0 billion of borrowings under our commercial paper program, which were refinanced with the issuance of $2.0 billion of long-term debt in September 2025 (see Note 5).

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805: “Business Combinations” and GMS’s results of operations have been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements effective September 4, 2025. Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not material.

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred. The following table summarizes total purchase consideration:

in millions
Cash consideration for outstanding shares	$	4,257
Repayment of GMS outstanding debt (1)	824
Total purchase consideration	$	5,081

—————

(1)    Represents the repayment of certain GMS long-term debt which was required to be repaid upon a change in control. As further discussed below, an additional $354 million of GMS long-term debt was also repaid upon completion of the merger and has been reflected as an assumed liability upon consummation of the transaction.

Allocation of Consideration Transferred. We recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of September 4, 2025. The following table summarizes our preliminary purchase price allocation, including resulting goodwill:

in millions	Preliminary Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	136
Receivables	889
Merchandise inventories	568
Property and equipment	715
Goodwill	2,611
Intangible assets	1,800
Other current and non-current assets	388
Total assets acquired	$	7,107
Accounts payable	$	381
Other current liabilities	390
Senior notes (1)	354
Deferred income taxes (2)	403
Other long-term liabilities	498
Total liabilities assumed	$	2,026
Net assets acquired	$	5,081

—————

(1)    Represents GMS senior notes that were redeemed by the Company upon completion of the merger. As the repayment was made at the discretion of the Company, the senior notes are reflected as an assumed liability upon consummation of the transaction with the corresponding long-term debt repayment presented within financing activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

(2)    Primarily resulting from the difference in book and tax basis related to identifiable intangible assets.

The preliminary fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined by using certain estimates and assumptions that are not observable in the market. The Company used the multi-period excess earnings method to value the customer relationships intangible assets. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of customer relationships included forecasted revenues, customer attrition rates, and the discount rate. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives. The preliminary fair value and estimated useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

in millions	Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)	Preliminary Fair Value
Customer relationships	19	$	1,540
Trade names	7	260
Total identifiable intangible assets		$	1,800

The goodwill arising from the acquisition is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and is attributable to anticipated (i) growth acceleration in the residential and commercial professional customer (“Pro”) market; (ii) expanded capabilities and product categories; (iii) additional addressable market opportunities; (iv) enhanced delivery network capabilities; and (v) growth in sales force. We expect approximately $214 million of goodwill related to the acquisition to be deductible for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As the valuation is preliminary, we have not yet finalized the assignment of goodwill to our reporting units, and no goodwill related to the GMS acquisition currently resides in our Primary segment.

We have completed preliminary valuation analyses necessary to assess the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the acquisition date. These fair values were based on management’s estimates and assumptions; however, the amounts indicated above are preliminary in nature and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, there may be adjustments to the assigned values of acquired assets and liabilities. The primary areas that remain preliminary include, but are not limited to, intangible assets, including the preliminary assumptions used in their estimates of fair values and their respective estimated useful lives, the valuation of certain tangible assets, income taxes, and residual goodwill. The final determination of the fair values, related income tax impacts, and residual goodwill will be completed as soon as practicable, and within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date as permitted under GAAP. Any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined.

Results of Operations. Net sales attributable to GMS since the completion of the acquisition and included within our results of operations for both the three and nine months ended November 2, 2025 totaled $892 million. Net earnings attributable to GMS since the completion of the acquisition and included within our results of operations for both the three and nine months ended November 2, 2025 were immaterial.

Pro forma results of operations are not presented as the effect of the acquisition was not material to our financial results.
