The Home Depot^®, the world's largest home improvement retailer, today reported sales of $41.4 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 2.8% from the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Total sales include approximately $900 million from the recent acquisition of GMS Inc. (GMS), which represents approximately eight weeks of sales in the quarter.

Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were $3.6 billion, or $3.62 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $3.6 billion, or $3.67 per diluted share, in the same period of fiscal 2024.

Adjusted⁽¹⁾ diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were $3.74, compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $3.78 in the same period of fiscal 2024.
