Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies

Background

Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (including subsidiaries, the “Company”) (NYSE: FERG; LSE: FERG) is a Delaware corporation. Ferguson is a value-added distributor serving the specialized professional in the residential and non-residential North American construction market. We help make our customers’ complex projects simple, successful and sustainable by providing expertise and a wide range of products and services from plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and lighting to PVF, water and wastewater solutions, and more. We sell through a common network of distribution centers, branches, counter service and specialist sales associates, showroom consultants and e-commerce channels. The corporate headquarters of the Company is located at 751 Lakefront Commons, Newport News, Virginia 23606.

Effective on August 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company established a new corporate structure to domicile our ultimate parent company in the United States by completing a merger between entities under common control (the “Merger”). The Merger resulted in (i) Ferguson plc (the “predecessor”) becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (the “successor issuer”) and (ii) the shareholders of Ferguson plc at the designated record time for the Merger no longer holding ordinary shares of Ferguson plc but instead holding shares of common stock of Ferguson Enterprises Inc.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), but do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

In light of the Merger, the July 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements of the predecessor. For the six months ended January 31, 2024, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows represent the activities of the predecessor. The successor issuer had no operating activities prior to the Effective Date.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report. The financial results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the financial results for the entire fiscal year.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting certain reported amounts in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with banks with original maturities of three months or less and overdrafts to the extent there is a legal right of offset and practice of net settlement with cash balances. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party credit card processors as they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within a few days of the sales transaction.

Restricted cash primarily consists of deferred consideration for business combinations, subject to various settlement agreements. These amounts are recorded in prepaid and other current assets and other non-current assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.


	As of
(In millions)	January 31, 2025	July 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$764	$571
Restricted cash	51	54
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$815	$625

Supplier finance program

In October 2023, the Company began a supplier financing program with a third party wherein certain shipping and logistics providers in the United States can opt to receive early payment at a nominal discount. The Company’s obligations to suppliers are unchanged and payment terms are consistent with the Company’s normal payment terms. All outstanding payables related to the supplier finance program are classified within accounts payable within our condensed consolidated balance sheets and were $42 million and $46 million as of January 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, respectively.

Recently issued accounting standard updates (“ASU”)

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires new financial statement disclosures disaggregating prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement expense captions, including information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement. Per ASU No. 2025-01, the amendments under ASU No. 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU No. 2024-03 can be adopted either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU expands public entities’ required segment disclosures, including disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently not required. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures is not expected to be material.

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption that are not discussed above are either not applicable, or will not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2: Revenue and segment information

The Company reports its financial results of operations on a geographical basis in the following two reportable segments: United States and Canada. Each segment generally derives its revenues in the same manner. The Company uses adjusted operating profit as its measure of segment profit. A reporting segment’s adjusted operating profit is defined as profit before tax, excluding central and other costs, restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, net interest expenses, as well as other items typically recorded in net other (expense) income such as (loss)/gain on disposal of businesses, pension plan changes/closure costs and amounts recorded in connection with the Company’s interests in investees. Certain income and expenses are not allocated to the Company’s segments and, thus, the information that management uses to make operating decisions and assess performance does not reflect such amounts.

Segment results were as follows:

(1)For the six months ended January 31, 2025, corporate restructurings primarily related to incremental costs in connection with transition activities following the establishment of our parent company’s domicile in the United States. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, corporate restructuring costs related to incremental costs in connection with establishing a new corporate structure to domicile our ultimate parent company in the United States.

Our products are delivered through a common network of distribution centers, branches, counter service and specialist sales associates, showroom consultants and e-commerce channels. The Company recognizes revenue when a sales arrangement with a customer exists (e.g., contract, purchase orders, others), the transaction price is fixed or determinable, collection of consideration is probable and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation per the sales arrangement. The majority of the Company’s revenue originates from sales arrangements with a single performance obligation to deliver products, whereby the performance obligations are satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer which is the point the product is delivered to, or collected by, the customer.

The Company determined that disaggregating net sales by end market at the segment level achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows may be impacted by economic factors. The disaggregated net sales by end market are as follows:

The Company is a value-added distributor in North America, providing a wide range of products from plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and lighting to PVF, water and wastewater solutions, and more. We offer a broad line of products, and items are regularly added to and removed from the Company's inventory. Accordingly, it would be impractical to provide sales information by product category due to the way the business is managed, and the dynamic nature of the inventory offered.

Note 4: Income tax

As of August 1, 2024, Ferguson is a U.S. corporation. The provision for income taxes for fiscal 2025 consists of provisions for the U.S. plus non-U.S. tax rate differentials with respect to other locations in which Ferguson’s operations are based. For fiscal years prior to 2025, Ferguson’s provision for income taxes consists of provisions for the U.K. plus non-U.K. tax rate differentials with respect to other locations in which the predecessor operated. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting earnings in various locations and the applicable tax rates.

The Company’s tax provision for each period presented was calculated using an estimated annual tax rate, adjusted for discrete items occurring during the applicable period to arrive at an effective tax rate. The effective income tax rates for the relevant periods were as follows:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	January 31,				January 31,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Effective tax rate	25.4	%	25.6	%	24.9	%	25.2	%

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, there were no material changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits when compared to those items disclosed in the Annual Report.

Receivables Securitization Facility

The Company maintains a Receivables Securitization Facility (the “Receivables Facility”) which is primarily governed by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated July 31, 2013, as amended from time to time, among the following parties (the “Parties”): the Company, Ferguson Receivables, LLC (“FRL”) and certain other subsidiaries of the Company; the conduit purchasers, committed purchasers, and letter of credit banks from time to time party thereto; and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this summary have the meaning set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment and Consent (Ferguson Receivables, LLC), dated October 29, 2024, among the Parties (the “Omnibus Amendment”).

The Receivables Facility consists of funding for up to $1.1 billion. Pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment, access to the swingline facility of up to $100 million in same day funding was terminated until such time as a Committed Purchaser agrees in writing to make Swingline Purchases. In addition, pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment, the termination date under the Receivables Purchase Agreement was extended to October 29, 2027 for all Purchase Groups except the TD Purchase Group, which has a termination date of October 7, 2025. Under the Receivables Facility, creditors of FRL have no recourse to the Company’s general credit and FRL’s assets can be used only to settle FRL’s obligations. As of January 31, 2025, $575 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Receivables Facility. The interest rate under the Receivable Facility was approximately 5.35% as of January 31, 2025.

Term Loan Agreement

The Company and Ferguson UK Holdings Limited previously maintained a Credit Agreement, dated October 7, 2022 (as amended from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), providing for term loans (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million. In October 2024, the Term Loan was voluntarily repaid in full using a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2034 Senior Notes (as defined below) and the Term Loan Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that has aggregate total available credit commitments of $1.35 billion. As of January 31, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

Private Placement Notes

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company repaid $150 million related to the 3.44% private placement notes that matured in November 2024.

In September 2025, $400 million of private placement notes will mature.

2034 Senior Notes

On October 3, 2024, the Company issued and sold $750 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes, maturing in October 2034 (the “2034 Senior Notes”). The 2034 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00%, payable semi-annually. The obligations of the Company under the 2034 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ferguson UK Holdings Limited, an indirect subsidiary of the Company.

The 2034 Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, (i) at 100% of the principal amount on the notes being redeemed plus a “make-whole” prepayment premium at any time prior to three months before the maturity date (the “Notes Par Call Date”) or (ii) after the Notes Par Call Date at 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal being redeemed. The 2034 Senior Notes include covenants, subject to certain exceptions, which include limitations on the granting of liens and on mergers and acquisitions.

Other

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants that were in effect as of January 31, 2025.

Note 6: Assets and liabilities at fair value

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets or liabilities during the periods presented. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other debt instruments, such as the Receivables Facility due to its variable interest rate, approximated their fair values as of January 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024.

The Company’s derivatives (interest rate swaps which are considered fair value hedges) and investments in equity instruments are carried at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (Level 2 and Level 3 fair value inputs, respectively) and are not material. The notional amount of the Company’s outstanding fair value hedges was $150 million and $300 million as of January 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, respectively. The notional value of fair value hedges decreased in connection with the repayment of $150 million related to the 3.44% private placement notes that matured in November 2024.

Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows:


	January 31, 2025		July 31, 2024
(In millions)	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Unsecured senior notes	$3,079	$2,973	$2,333	$2,263
Private placement notes	700	694	849	837

Note 7: Commitments and contingencies

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings considered to be normal course of business in relation to, among other things, the products that we supply, contractual and commercial disputes and disputes with employees. Provision is made if, on the basis of current information and professional advice, liabilities are considered probable. In the case of unfavorable outcomes, the Company may benefit from applicable insurance protection. The Company does not expect any of its pending legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Employee Benefit Trusts

Two Employee Benefit Trusts had been previously established in connection with the Company’s discretionary share award plans and long-term incentive plans. During fiscal 2024, each of these trusts were terminated with all shares disbursed or sold.

Share Repurchases

In March 2025, the Company extended the share repurchase program by an additional $1.0 billion. As such, the Company is purchasing shares under an authorization that allows up to $5.0 billion in share repurchases. As of January 31, 2025, the Company had completed $3.6 billion under the share repurchase program.

Ordinary Shares and Treasury shares

As of August 1, 2024, the Company canceled all ordinary shares in connection with its completion of the Merger. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, 30,827,929 ordinary shares held in treasury were canceled, 201,343,253 of outstanding ordinary shares not held in treasury were canceled and 201,343,253 shares of common stock were issued as consideration therefor.

Note 11: Share-based compensation

The Company grants share-based compensation awards that can be broadly characterized by the underlying vesting conditions as follows:

•Time vested, restricted stock units (“RSU”) vest over time. RSU awards granted prior to fiscal 2025 cliff vest, typically at the end of three years. RSU awards granted in fiscal 2025 will vest in equal, annual installments over three years. The fair value of these awards is based on the closing share price on the date of grant.

•Single metric performance stock units (“PSU”) typically vest following three-year performance cycles. The number of shares issued will vary based upon the Company’s performance against an adjusted operating profit measure. The fair value of the award is based on the closing share price on the date of grant.

•Multiple metric performance stock units granted to certain members of management (“PSU-EX”) typically vest following three-year performance cycles. The number of shares issued will vary based upon adjusted EPS growth (diluted), return on capital employed (“ROCE”) and relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”). The fair value of awards vesting based upon EPS growth (diluted) and ROCE are equal to the closing share price on the date of grant and the fair value of rTSR awards are determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation.

The following table summarizes the share-based incentive awards activity for the six months ended January 31, 2025:


	Number of shares	Weighted average grant date fair value
Outstanding as of July 31, 2024	963,130	$135.82
RSU awards granted	122,632	190.80
PSU awards granted	162,406	189.30
PSU-EX granted	51,366	167.95
Share adjustments based on performance	(209,545)	132.50

Forfeited	(37,166)	151.41
Outstanding as of January 31, 2025	648,928	$163.09

The following table relates to RSU, PSU and PSU-EX awards activity:


			Six months ended
			January 31,
(In millions, except per share amounts)			2025
Fair value of awards vested			$81
Weighted average grant date fair value per share granted			$186.59

The following table relates to all share-based compensation awards:


	Three months ended		Six months ended
	January 31,		January 31,
(In millions)	2025	2024	2025	2024
Share-based compensation expense (within SG&A)	$2	$11	$13	$24
Income tax benefit	—	3	3	6

Total unrecognized share-based compensation expense for all share-based payment plans was $89 million at January 31, 2025, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Stock Options

In October 2024, the Company granted 65,760 stock options to certain members of management with an exercise price equal to the closing share price of the Company's common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant. These options vest and become exercisable over three years, in equal, annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The fair value of the Company's stock options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The share-based compensation expense of these stock options is not material.

Note 12: Acquisitions

The Company acquired two businesses during the six months ended January 31, 2025. Each of the acquired businesses is generally engaged in the distribution of plumbing, HVAC or infrastructure related products and was acquired to support growth. In each of the Company’s acquisitions, the Company has purchased substantially all of the acquiree's business and therefore all transactions have been accounted for as a business combination pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in regard to the Company's acquisitions:


(In millions)

Trade and other receivables			$7
Inventories			6
Property, plant and equipment			1
Right of use assets			4
Trade names and brands			1
Customer relationships			32
Other intangible assets			1
Trade and other payables			(2)
Lease liabilities			(4)



Total			46
Goodwill			15
Consideration			$61
Satisfied by:
Cash			$46
Deferred & other consideration			15
Total consideration			$61

The fair values of the net assets acquired are considered preliminary and are based on management’s best estimates. Further adjustments may be necessary in connection with acquisitions completed in a prior period when additional information becomes available about events that existed at the date of acquisition. Amendments to fair value estimates may be made to these figures during the measurement period following the date of acquisition. There were no material adjustments in the current fiscal year that related to the closing of the measurement period of acquisitions made in the prior fiscal year. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has made all known material adjustments related to acquisitions in fiscal 2025.

The fair value estimates of intangible assets are considered non-recurring, Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy and are estimated as of each respective acquisition date.

The goodwill on these acquisitions is attributable to the anticipated profitability of the new markets and product ranges to which the Company has gained access and additional profitability, operating efficiencies and other synergies available in connection with existing markets. All of the goodwill acquired during the six months ended January 31, 2025 was attributed to the United States segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Deferred consideration represents the expected payout due to certain sellers of acquired businesses that is subject to either 1) a contractual settle-up period or 2) a contingency related to contractually defined performance metrics. If the deferred consideration is contingent on achieving performance metrics, the liability is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectations of an acquiree’s ability to achieve the contractually defined performance metrics over a period of time that typically spans one to three years. When ultimately paid, deferred consideration is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities.

The businesses acquired during the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025 contributed $10 million to net sales and $2 million in losses to the Company’s income before income tax, including acquired intangible asset amortization, as well as transaction and integration costs for the period between the applicable date of acquisition and January 31, 2025. Acquisition costs during the six months ended January 31, 2025 were not material. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings.

The net outflow of cash related to business acquisitions is as follows:


			Six months ended
(In millions)			January 31, 2025
Purchase consideration			$46
Cash, cash equivalents and bank overdrafts acquired			—
Cash consideration paid, net of cash acquired			46
Deferred and contingent consideration(1)			11
Net cash outflow in respect of the purchase of businesses			$57

(1) Included in other financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Pro forma disclosures

If each acquisition had been completed on the first day of the prior fiscal year, the Company’s unaudited pro forma net sales would have been:


	Three months ended		Six months ended
	January 31,		January 31,
(In millions)	2025	2024	2025	2024
Pro forma net sales	$6,873	$6,685	$14,654	$14,405

The impact on income before income tax, including additional amortization, transaction costs and integration costs would not be material in the three and six months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024.

These unaudited pro forma results do not necessarily represent financial results that would have been achieved had the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of the prior fiscal year.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is intended to convey management’s perspective regarding the Company’s operational and financial performance for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Annual Report.

The following discussion contains trend information and other forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements, as well as from our historical performance, due to various factors, including, but not limited to, those referred to in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We help make our customers’ complex projects simple, successful and sustainable by providing expertise and a wide range of products and services from plumbing, HVAC, appliances, and lighting to PVF, water and wastewater solutions, and more.

The following table presents highlights of the Company’s performance for the periods below:


	Three months ended		Six months ended

(1) The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures, which are not defined or specified under U.S. GAAP. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information.”

For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, net sales increased by 3.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher sales volume and incremental revenue from acquisitions, partially offset by price deflation (approximately 2%), mainly within certain commodity categories in the United States.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, operating profit decreased by 14.0% (adjusted operating profit decreased 13.7%), compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2024. This decrease was primarily due to higher operating costs driven by sales volume growth and cost inflation.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, diluted earnings per share was $1.38 (adjusted diluted earnings per share: $1.52), decreasing 12.7% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2024 (12.6% on an adjusted basis) due to lower net income, partially offset by the impact of share repurchases.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $0.7 billion in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025 compared with $0.9 billion in the same period of fiscal 2024, reflecting an increase in working capital to support volume growth period-over-period, along with lower net income after adjusting for non-cash items.

Net sales

Net sales were $6.9 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $0.2 billion, or 3.0%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales was driven by higher sales volume and incremental sales from acquisitions of 1.2%. These increases were partially offset by price deflation of approximately 2%, mainly within certain commodity categories in the United States. The Company’s increase in net sales was driven by growth in both of the residential and non-residential markets in its United States segment.

Net sales were $14.6 billion in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025, an increase of $0.3 billion, or 1.8%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparison were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

For further discussion on the Company’s net sales, see the “Segment results” section below.

Gross profit

Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $13 million, or 0.6%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024, primarily reflecting increased net sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 29.7% and 30.4% in the second quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. The decrease of 0.7% reflected the impact on margins from subdued end market demand, as well as the impact of price deflation and sales mix.

Gross profit in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025 increased $22 million, or 0.5%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 29.9% and 30.3% in the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparisons were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses

SG&A expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $71 million, or 4.8%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 22.4% and 22.0% in the second quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. The increase in SG&A as a percent of sales primarily reflects the impact of cost inflation, mainly on infrastructure and fleet.

SG&A expenses in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025 increased $144 million, or 4.8%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 21.3% and 20.7% in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparisons were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter, as well as the impact of increased labor costs, primarily related to wage inflation, on the year-to-date comparison.

Income tax

Income tax expense was $94 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $17 million, or 15.3%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. In the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025, income tax expense was $248 million, a decrease of $35 million, or 12.4%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. In each case the decrease was due to lower income before income taxes.

The Company’s effective tax rates were 25.4% and 25.6% for the second quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 24.9% and 25.2% for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. For each of the year-over-year comparisons, the decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to discrete tax benefits recorded in fiscal 2025.

Net interest expense

Net interest expense was $48 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $44 million in the same period in fiscal 2024. In the year-to-date periods, net interest expense was $94 million in fiscal 2025 compared with $89 million in fiscal 2024. The increase in interest expense was due to higher average borrowings over the respective periods compared with the prior year.

Net income

Net income for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 was $276 million and $746 million, respectively. These represented decreases in net income of $46 million, or 14.3%, and $95 million, or 11.3%, compared with the respective periods in fiscal 2024 due to the various elements described in the sections above.

Segment results

United States


	Three months ended		Six months ended
	January 31,		January 31,
(In millions)	2025	2024	2025	2024
Net sales	$6,553	$6,364	$13,922	$13,693
Adjusted operating profit	455	525	1,152	1,291

Net sales for the United States segment were $6.6 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $189 million, or 3.0%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by higher sales volume and incremental sales from acquisitions of 1.0%, partially offset by price deflation of approximately 2%, mainly within certain commodity categories. Net sales in non-residential markets increased 3.8%, mainly in connection with growth in Commercial and Civil/Infrastructure sales compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. Net sales in residential markets increased 2.2% compared with the same period in fiscal 2024 with growth across both new construction and repairs, maintenance and improvement.

Net sales were $13.9 billion in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025, an increase of $0.2 billion, or 1.7%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparison were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

Adjusted operating profit for the United States segment was $455 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $70 million, or 13.3%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of higher operating costs driven by sales volume growth and cost inflation.

Adjusted operating profit for the United States segment was $1.2 billion in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $0.1 billion, or 10.8%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparison were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

Net sales for the Canada segment were $319 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $10 million, or 3.2%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. This increase in net sales was primarily driven by incremental sales from an acquisition of 5.4%, price inflation of approximately 2% and higher sales volume, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates of 5.3%.

Net sales were $722 million in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025, an increase of $34 million, or 4.9%, compared with the same period in fiscal 2024. The factors impacting the year-to-date comparison were largely the same as those noted above for the quarter.

Adjusted operating profit for the Canada segment in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 increased by $2 million compared with the respective periods in fiscal 2024 in connection with higher sales.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Supplementary Information

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of the Company’s financial information with additional meaningful information to assist in understanding financial results and assessing the Company’s performance from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating profit, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”) - diluted. Management believes these measures are important indicators of operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses, and they are consistent with how business performance is planned, reported and assessed internally by management and the Company’s Board of Directors. Such non-GAAP adjustments include amortization of acquired intangible assets, discrete tax items, and any other items that are non-recurring. Non-recurring items may include various restructuring charges, gains or losses on the disposals of businesses which by their nature do not reflect primary operations, as well as certain other items deemed non-recurring in nature and/or that are not a result of the Company’s primary operations. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of operations that, when viewed with U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review the Company’s financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes its current cash position coupled with cash flow anticipated to be generated from operations and access to capital should be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements for the next 12 months and will also enable the Company to invest and fund acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividend payments, share repurchases, required debt payments and other contractual obligations through the next several fiscal years. The Company also anticipates that it has the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, if necessary.

The Company’s material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations arising in the normal course of business. These obligations primarily include debt service and related interest payments, operating lease obligations, required pension obligations and other purchase obligations. The nature and composition of such existing cash requirements have not materially changed from those disclosed in the Annual Report other than items updated in this Quarterly Report.

Cash flows

As of January 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $764 million and $571 million, respectively. In addition to cash, the Company had $1.9 billion of available liquidity from undrawn debt facilities as of January 31, 2025.

As of January 31, 2025, the Company’s total debt was $4.3 billion. The Company anticipates that it will be able to meet its debt obligations as they become due.

Cash flows from operating activities


	Six months ended
	January 31,
(In millions)	2025	2024
Net cash provided by operating activities	$685	$863

Net cash provided by operating activities was $685 million and $863 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $178 million decrease was mainly due to lower net income (adjusted for non-cash items), as well as changes in working capital compared with the prior year. The increase in working capital was primarily driven by the timing of receivables collections year-over-year and an increase in inventory in connection with sales volume growth and consideration of customer demand, partially offset by the timing of vendor payments compared with the prior year.

Cash flows from investing activities


	Six months ended
	January 31,
(In millions)	2025	2024
Net cash used in investing activities	($192)	($231)

Net cash used in investing activities was $192 million and $231 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Capital expenditures totaled $158 million and $192 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. These investments were primarily for strategic projects to support future growth, such as new market distribution centers, our branch network and new technology. In addition, the Company invested $46 million and $67 million in new acquisitions in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.

Cash flows from financing activities


	Six months ended
	January 31,
(In millions)	2025	2024
Net cash used in financing activities	($289)	($597)

Net cash used in financing activities was $289 million and $597 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Dividends paid to shareholders were $158 million and $305 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company generally pays dividends in the fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter in which the dividend was declared. However, the dividends declared in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were also paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 due to the Merger. As such, no dividends were paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Share repurchases under the Company’s announced share repurchase program were $508 million and $250 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.

Net proceeds from debt transactions were $421 million compared with net payments of $30 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. In the year-to-date period of fiscal 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $746 million and $325 million from the issuance of the 2034 Senior Notes and net borrowings under the Receivables Facility, respectively. These proceeds were partially offset by debt repayments of $500 million and $150 million in connection with the Company’s Term Loans and the maturity of certain Private Placement Notes, respectively. In the year-to-date period of fiscal 2024, the Company repaid $55 million in connection with the maturity of certain Private Placement Notes, which was partially offset by net proceeds of $25 million borrowed under the Receivables Facility.
