Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited), in the opinion of management, contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets as of October 31, 2025, and November 1, 2024, and the statements of earnings, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ deficit for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, and November 1, 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended October 31, 2025, and November 1, 2024. The January 31, 2025, consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements.
The Company consolidates the financial results of Artisan Design Group (ADG) and Foundation Building Materials (FBM) on a one-month lag due to differences in reporting calendars.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 (the Annual Report). The financial results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the financial results for the entire fiscal year.
Business Combinations
The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software. The ASU amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of internal-use software and clarifies the threshold that entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU.
Accounting pronouncements not disclosed in this Form 10-Q or in the Annual Report are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact to the Company.
Note 2: Acquisitions
Artisan Design Group (ADG)
On June 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of ADG for an aggregate cash purchase price of $1.3 billion, which is included in the investing section of the consolidated statements of cash flows, net of cash acquired. Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred. ADG is a leading nationwide provider of design, distribution and installation services for interior surface finishers, including flooring, cabinets and countertops, to national, regional and local home builders and property managers. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company’s Pro customer offering into a new distribution channel within a highly fragmented market.
Intangible assets acquired totaled $714 million and include trademarks of $130 million with a useful life of 15 years, customer relationships of $550 million with a useful life of 20 years, backlog of $26 million, and non-compete agreements of $8 million with a useful life of 5 years, each of which are included in the intangible assets - net line item within the accompanying

consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill of $382 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. We expect $312 million of goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
Foundation Building Materials (FBM)
On October 9, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of FBM for an aggregate cash purchase price of $8.8 billion, which is included in the investing section of the consolidated statements of cash flows, net of cash acquired. Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred. FBM is expected to accelerate the Company’s Total Home strategy by enhancing its offering to Pro customers through expanded capabilities, faster fulfillment, improved digital tools, a robust trade credit platform, and significant cross-selling opportunities between FBM and Lowe's.
Intangible assets acquired totaled $5,041 million, and include trademarks of $950 million with a useful life of 15 years, customer relationships of $3,920 million with a useful life of 20 years, backlog of $75 million, and a non-compete agreement of $96 million with a useful life of 5 years, each of which are included in the intangible assets - net line item within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill of $3,289 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. We expect $993 million of goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
The following table summarizes our preliminary aggregate purchase price allocations:

| Net assets acquired | $ | 1,315 | $ | 8,812 |
We have prepared 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 dates. 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 dates. Accordingly, there may be adjustments to the assigned values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed. The final determination of acquisition date fair values and residual goodwill will be completed as soon as practicable, and within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition dates 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.
Pro forma revenue and earnings since the acquisitions have not been provided as the acquisitions were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 5: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy, which encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
-
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
-
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
-
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are unobservable for the assets or liabilities

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2025, November 1, 2024, and January 31, 2025:

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 during any of the periods presented.
When available, quoted prices were used to determine fair value. When quoted prices in active markets were available, financial assets were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted prices in active markets were not available, fair values for financial assets and liabilities classified within Level 2 were determined using pricing models, and the inputs to those pricing models were based on observable market inputs. The inputs to the pricing models were typically benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities, among others.
The Company has performance-based contingent consideration related to the fiscal 2022 sale of the Canadian retail business which is classified as a Level 3 long-term investment, and such contingent consideration had an estimated fair value of zero as of October 31, 2025, November 1, 2024, and January 31, 2025. The Company’s measurements of fair value of the contingent consideration are based on an income approach, which requires certain assumptions considering operating performance of the business and a risk-adjusted discount rate. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the consolidated statements of earnings.
The rollforward of the fair value of contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, is as follows:

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, and November 1, 2024, the Company had no material measurements of assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition.

Other Fair Value Disclosures
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, and long-term debt and are reflected in the financial statements at cost. With the exception of long-term debt, cost approximates fair value for these items due to their short-term nature. As further described in Note 8, certain long-term debt is associated with a fair value hedge and the changes in fair value of the hedged debt is included in the carrying value of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s unsecured notes were estimated using quoted market prices.
Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding finance lease obligations and the 2025 Term Loan, are as follows:

Note 6: Accounts Payable
The Company has an agreement with a third party to provide a supplier finance program which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to finance payment obligations from the Company with designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to finance one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s outstanding payment obligations that suppliers financed to participating financial institutions, which are included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets, are as follows:

Note 7: Debt
Revolving Credit Facilities
On September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a $2.0 billion five-year unsecured credit agreement (2025 Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, which has a maturity date of September 2030, replacing the Company’s $2.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement entered into in December 2021, and as amended (Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
On September 16, 2025, the Company also amended the five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement dated September 1, 2023 (the 2023 Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, which has a maturity date of September 2028 and an aggregate availability of $2.0 billion. Under the amendment, borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement will no longer be subject to a SOFR credit spread adjustment.
The 2025 Credit Agreement and the 2023 Credit Agreement (collectively the Long-Term Credit Agreements) support the Company’s commercial paper program. The amounts available to be drawn under the Long-Term Credit Agreements are reduced by the amount of borrowings under the commercial paper program. As of October 31, 2025, November 1, 2024, and January 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Company’s commercial paper program or the Long-Term Credit Agreements.
On September 16, 2025, the Company also entered into a $1.0 billion 364-day unsecured revolving credit agreement (collectively with the Long-Term Credit Agreements the “Revolving Credit Facilities”) which has a maturity date of September 2026 and had no outstanding borrowings as of October 31, 2025.
Total combined availability under the Revolving Credit Facilities was $5.0 billion as of October 31, 2025.

Long-Term Debt
On September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a $2.0 billion unsecured term loan credit agreement (2025 Term Loan) which has a maturity date of October 2028. There was $2.0 billion in outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Term Loan as of October 31, 2025, with an interest rate of 4.935%.
In addition, on September 30, 2025, the Company issued $5.0 billion of unsecured fixed rate notes (collectively, the September 2025 Notes) as follows:
| Principal Amount (in millions) | Maturity Date | Interest Rate | Discount (in millions) | |||||||||||||||||
| $ | 650 | October 2027 | 3.950% | $ | 2 | |||||||||||||||

| $ | 1,200 | October 2035 | 4.850% | $ | 8 |
Interest on the September 2025 Notes with October maturity dates is payable semiannually in arrears in April and October of each year until maturity. Interest on the September 2025 Notes with March maturity dates is payable semiannually in arrears in March and September of each year until maturity.
The indenture governing the September 2025 Notes contains a provision that allows the Company to redeem these notes at any time, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture also contains a provision that allows the holders of the notes to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of their notes if a change of control triggering event occurs. If elected under the change of control provisions, the repurchase of the notes will occur at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture governing the September 2025 Notes does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that the Company may issue and does not require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios or levels of net worth or liquidity.
Note 8: Derivative Instruments
The Company utilizes fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements as fair value hedges on certain debt. The notional amounts for the Company’s material derivative instruments are as follows:
| (In millions) | October 31, 2025 | November 1, 2024 | January 31, 2025 | ||||||||||||||
| Fair value hedges: | |||||||||||||||||
| Fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements | $ | 550 | $ | 850 | $ | 850 |
See Note 5 for the gross fair values of the Company’s outstanding derivative financial instruments and corresponding fair value classifications. The cash flows related to settlement of the Company’s hedging derivative financial instruments are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying hedged items.
The Company accounts for the fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements as fair value hedges using the shortcut method of accounting under which the hedges are assumed to be perfectly effective. Thus, the change in fair value of the derivative instruments offsets the change in fair value on the hedged debt, and there is no net impact in the consolidated statements of earnings from the fair value of the derivatives.
Note 9: Shareholders’ Deficit
The Company has a share repurchase program that is executed through purchases made from time to time either in the open market, which may be made under pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or through private off-market transactions. Shares purchased under the repurchase program are returned to authorized and unissued status. Any excess of cost over par value is charged to additional paid-in capital to the extent that a balance is present. Once additional paid-in capital is fully depleted, remaining excess of cost over par value is charged to accumulated deficit. As of October 31, 2025, the Company had $10.8 billion remaining in its share repurchase program. In fiscal 2025, the Company paused its share repurchase program.

The Company also withholds shares from employees to satisfy either the exercise price of stock options exercised or the statutory withholding tax liability resulting from the vesting of share-based awards.

Note 12: Segment Information
The Company’s home improvement operations represent a single operating segment designed to enable customers to purchase products and services seamlessly through all channels. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM has the ultimate decision-making authority for resource allocation and assessing the performance of the Company. Thereby, the CODM regularly reviews consolidated net earnings as the measure of segment profit or loss, as well as significant segment expenses included in the below table, to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The CODM also uses these measures in monitoring plan versus actual results. The CODM does not review segment assets at a different asset level or category than those disclosed in the consolidated balance sheets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Lowe’s Companies, Inc.
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Lowe’s Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ deficit for the fiscal three-month and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, and of cash flows for the fiscal nine-month period ended October 31, 2025 and November 1, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of January 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 24, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
