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.
