Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
Certain statements contained herein constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
may relate to, among other things, the demand for our products and services; net sales growth; comparable sales; effects of competition; implementation of store,
interconnected retail, supply chain and technology initiatives; inventory and in-stock positions; state of the economy; state of the housing and home improvement markets;
state of the credit markets, including mortgages, home equity loans and consumer credit; issues related to the payment methods we accept; demand for credit offerings;
management of relationships with our associates, suppliers and vendors; continuation of share repurchase programs; net earnings performance; earnings per share; dividend
targets; capital allocation and expenditures; liquidity; return on invested capital; expense leverage; stock-based compensation expense; commodity price inflation and
deflation; the ability to issue debt on terms and at rates acceptable to us; the impact and expected outcome of investigations, inquiries, claims and litigation; the effect of
accounting charges; the effect of adopting certain accounting standards; the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and other regulatory changes; store openings and
closures; guidance for fiscal 2019 and beyond; financial outlook; and the integration of acquired companies into our organization and the ability to recognize the anticipated
synergies and benefits of those acquisitions.
Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. You should not rely
on our forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties – many of which are
beyond our control, dependent on the actions of third parties, or are currently unknown to us – as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to
differ materially from our expectations and projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 3, 2019 and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake to update these statements other than as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures
we make on related subjects in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This presentation is also supplemented with certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures better enable management and investors
to understand and analyze our performance. However, this supplemental information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.
Reconciliations of the supplemental information to the comparable GAAP measures can be found on our Investor Relations website at ir.homedepot.com.
