**August 20, 2025** 

**For 6:00 a.m. ET Release** 

**LOWE'S REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 SALES AND EARNINGS RESULTS**

**— Diluted EPS of $4.27; Adjusted Diluted EPS**<sup>1</sup> **of $4.33 —**

**— Comparable Sales increased 1.1% —** 

**— Updates Full Year 2025 Outlook —**

**MOORESVILLE, N.C., Aug. 20, 2025** – Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) today reported net earnings of $2.4 billion and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.27 for the quarter ended Aug. 1, 2025, compared to diluted EPS of $4.17 in the second quarter of 2024. During the second quarter, the company recognized $43 million pre-tax expenses associated with the acquisition of Artisan Design Group (ADG). This negatively impacted second quarter diluted EPS by $0.06. Excluding these expenses, second quarter 2025 adjusted diluted EPS<sup>1</sup> increased 5.6% to $4.33 compared to the prior-year adjusted diluted EPS<sup>1</sup>.

Total sales for the quarter were $24.0 billion, compared to $23.6 billion in the prior-year quarter and comparable sales for the quarter increased 1.1%.

"This quarter, the company delivered positive comp sales driven by solid performance in both Pro and DIY. Despite challenging weather early in the quarter, our teams drove both sales growth and improved profitability. I'd also like to thank our front-line associates for their outstanding service which led to another increase in customer satisfaction scores." said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe's chairman, president and CEO. "In June, we closed on the acquisition of ADG, which strengthens our ability to capture a greater portion of Pro planned spend and expands our reach into the new home construction market."

As of Aug. 1, 2025, Lowe's operated 1,753 stores representing 195.5 million square feet of retail selling space.

**Capital Allocation**

The company continues to execute a disciplined capital allocation program to deliver long-term, sustainable shareholder value. During the quarter, the company invested $1.3 billion for the acquisition of ADG and paid $645 million in dividends.

<sup>1</sup> Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section of this release for additional information, as well as reconciliations between the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results.

------

<u>Lowe's Business Outlook</u>

The company's expectations for its core business performance in fiscal 2025 remains unchanged. The company is updating its outlook for the operating results of full year 2025 to reflect the inclusion of ADG.

Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and intangible asset amortization related to the acquisition of ADG. The company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items (which may be significant) without unreasonable effort.

**Full Year 2025 Outlook** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total sales of $84.5 to $85.5 billion (previously $83.5 to $84.5 billion)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Comparable sales expected to be flat to up +1% as compared to prior year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) of 12.1% to 12.2%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(previously 12.3% to 12.4%)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted operating income as a percentage of sales (adjusted operating margin) of 12.2% to 12.3%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net interest expense of approximately $1.3 billion

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Effective income tax rate of approximately 24.5%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Diluted earnings per share of approximately $12.10 to $12.35 (previously $12.15 to $12.40)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted diluted earnings per share of approximately $12.20 to $12.45

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion

**Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation (Unaudited)**

To provide additional transparency, the Company has presented the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three months ended August 1, 2025 and August 2, 2024. This measure excludes the impact of certain items, further described below, not contemplated in Lowe's Business Outlook to assist analysts and investors in understanding operational performance for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

*<u>Fiscal 2025 Impacts</u>*

During fiscal 2025, the Company recognized financial impacts from the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recognized pre-tax expenses of $43 million consisting of transaction costs and purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of Artisan Design Group (Artisan Design Group acquisition).

*<u>Fiscal 2024 Impacts:</u>*

During fiscal 2024, the Company recognized financial impacts from the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recognized pre-tax income of $43 million consisting of a realized gain on the contingent consideration associated with the fiscal 2022 sale of the Canadian retail business (Canadian retail business transaction).

Adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful indicator of, the Company's diluted earnings per share as prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's methods of determining non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the method used by other companies and may not be comparable.

A reconciliation between the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is shown below and available on the Company's website at ir.lowes.com.
