**November 19, 2025** 

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

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

**— Diluted EPS of $2.88; Adjusted Diluted EPS**<sup>1</sup> **of $3.06 —**

**— Comparable Sales increased 0.4% —** 

**— Updates Full Year 2025 Outlook —**

**MOORESVILLE, N.C., Nov. 19, 2025** – Lowe's Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) today reported net earnings of $1.6 billion and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.88 for the quarter ended Oct. 31, 2025, compared to diluted EPS of $2.99 in the third quarter of 2024. During the third quarter, the company recognized $129 million in pre-tax expenses associated with the acquisitions of Foundation Building Materials (FBM) and Artisan Design Group (ADG). Excluding these expenses, third quarter 2025 adjusted diluted EPS<sup>1</sup> increased 5.9% to $3.06 compared to the prior-year adjusted diluted EPS<sup>1</sup>.

Total sales for the quarter were $20.8 billion, compared to $20.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. Comparable sales for the quarter increased 0.4%, driven by 11.4% online sales growth, double-digit growth in home services and continued growth in Pro sales.

"The company delivered another quarter of positive comp sales, and we're pleased to start November with positive comps as well, despite headwinds related to hurricane activity in the prior year. With the closing of the FBM acquisition last month, we look forward to enhancing our offering to Pro customers and creating more sustainable, long-term sales and profit expansion for the company," said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe's chairman, president and CEO. "I would like to thank our associates for their hard work and dedication to the business."

As of Oct. 31, 2025, Lowe's operated 1,756 stores, representing 195.8 million square feet of retail selling space.

**Capital Allocation**

The company remains committed to a disciplined capital allocation strategy focused on driving long-term shareholder value. During the quarter, the company invested $8.8 billion for the acquisition of FBM and paid $673 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 is updating its outlook for the operating results of full year 2025 to reflect the ongoing uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. The updated outlook also includes expectations for FBM.

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 FBM and 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 $86.0 billion (previously $84.5 to $85.5 billion)

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted operating income as a percentage of sales (adjusted operating margin) of 12.1%<br>(previously 12.2% to 12.3%)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net interest expense of approximately $1.4 billion (previously $1.3 billion)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Effective income tax rate of approximately 24.0% (previously 24.5%)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted diluted earnings per share of approximately $12.25 (previously $12.20 to $12.45)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capital expenditures of up to $2.5 billion

The conference call will be available by webcast and can be accessed by visiting Lowe's website at ir.lowes.com and clicking on Lowe's Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call Webcast.

**Lowe's Companies, Inc.**

**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 October 31, 2025 and November 1, 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 third 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 third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recognized pre-tax expenses of $129 million consisting of transaction costs and intangible asset amortization related to the acquisition of Artisan Design Group and Foundation Building Materials (Acquisition of businesses).

*<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 third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recognized pre-tax income of $54 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.
