The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) - Canvas Business Model: Value Propositions

For Pros: Job-lot quantities, dedicated service, and same/next-day delivery.

The Home Depot, Inc. is heavily focused on capturing a greater share of the professional contractor wallet, which now accounts for over 50% of the company\'s sales. Targeted investments in the Pro ecosystem are yielding results, with Pro sales outpacing DIY sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Pro Value Proposition Element	Quantifiable Metric/Data Point
Logistics Network Scale (Post-Acquisitions)	1,200+ facility logistics network for same-day delivery.
Delivery Fleet Size	8,000 trucks supporting the logistics network.
Incremental Sales from Pro Experience Investment (as of Q4 2024)	More than $1 billion in annual incremental sales across 17 markets.
Total Addressable Market Expansion	Acquisitions expanded TAM by $50 billion, to about $1 trillion.
New Store Expansion in 2025	Plans to open approximately 13 new stores in 2025.

For DIY: Broadest product selection and expert project advice.

The Home Depot, Inc. maintains a broad assortment, though recent financial data shows softness in larger discretionary projects for DIY customers due to ongoing pressure in housing and high interest rates. Big-ticket transactions over $1,000 declined 6.5% year-over-year in Q1 2024. The company is using generative AI tools like Magic Apron to help shoppers get instant answers on products and projects.

For All: Competitive pricing and an interconnected shopping experience.

The interconnected experience is supported by digital sales growth, which was about 8% year-over-year in Q1 2025. The company reported net sales of nearly $41.4 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, up 2.8% year-over-year. The initial fiscal 2025 guidance projected total sales growth of approximately 2.8% based on a comparable 52-week period against the 53-week fiscal 2024. The company is focused on pricing discipline, which contributed to Q2 2025 revenue of $45.3 billion (a 4.9% YoY growth).

Installation and repair services (Do-It-For-Me or DIFM).

The Home Depot, Inc. sees sustained demand for professional installation services. The company is enhancing its ecosystem of capabilities to better serve the Pro working on complex projects, aiming to be the one-stop shop from initial planning to material delivery, saving Pros time and money.

Convenience via in-store pickup and online ordering.

Friction removal in the shopping experience is driving engagement. Faster delivery speeds, fueled by using both distribution centers and stores, drove a more than 4% increase in customer satisfaction scores in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Customers who utilize faster delivery options see a double-digit increase in spending and shop more frequently in-store as well as online. Nearly 40% of consumers are now click-and-mortar shoppers, using both digital and physical channels.

• The Home Depot, Inc. is transitioning 100% of its appliance deliveries to its market delivery network.
• The company achieved its fastest ever delivery speeds across the greatest number of products during the second quarter of 2025.

The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Relationships

The Home Depot, Inc. focuses its customer relationships on a dual strategy: deep, dedicated support for its professional (Pro) segment and seamless, friction-reducing experiences for the do-it-yourself (DIY) customer.

Dedicated Pro-desk and Pro Xtra loyalty program for contractors

The Pro segment is the bedrock of The Home Depot, Inc.'s high-value transactions, representing over 50% of total sales while comprising only about 10% of the customer base. Investments in this ecosystem have driven over $1 billion in annual incremental sales across 17 markets. The Pro Xtra loyalty program, which added tiered memberships (Member, Elite, and VIP) in January 2023, is central to this relationship.

The structure of Pro Xtra rewards includes:

• Paint Rewards offering up to 20% savings on paints and primers.
• Access to specialized rental equipment and integrations with construction management software.
• Features like Pro Allowance for pre-set user spend limits.
• The Path to Pro Network for connecting Pros with job seekers.

The Home Depot, Inc. is actively removing friction for this segment; comparable pro sales outpaced comparable sales to DIY customers during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Pro Xtra Tier	Key Benefit Example	Spend Requirement Context
Member	Access to Paint Rewards	Entry-level enrollment
Elite	New Elite Support Line	Unlocks with increased spending
VIP	Account management services	Highest spending level achieved

Self-service options via mobile app and in-store kiosks

Digital engagement continues to grow, evidenced by The Home Depot, Inc.'s online sales increasing about 11% year-over-year in fiscal Q3 2025. The retailer has seen a 25% increase in online orders for curbside pickup shortly after its introduction. Digital sales in Q1 2025 rose about 8% year-over-year.

High-touch, expert assistance from in-store associates

Customer loyalty, measured by the Net Promoter Score (NPS) in Q1 2025, stands at 43, which is above the retail industry average of 37. This score reflects a customer base where 57% are Promoters (likely to recommend). The company has also implemented an in-store customer-focused manager role to drive success with pros.

The breakdown of customer sentiment as of Q1 2025:

• Promoters: 57%
• Passives: 29%
• Detractors: 14%

Installation services for complex projects like flooring and water heaters

While large, financed remodels have been softer due to macroeconomic conditions, The Home Depot, Inc. is integrating services to support complex projects. The acquisition of SRS Distribution, completed in 2024, is specifically helping to expand trade credit offerings and streamline ordering and delivery for contractors.

Digital personalization and targeted offers based on purchase history

Personalization is integrated across channels. The Pro Xtra program allows members to track their color history and save favorite items. Furthermore, the launch of the 'Magic Apron' generative AI assistant in March 2025 provides 24/7 project guidance and product recommendations, enhancing online sales engagement.

Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) - Canvas Business Model: Channels

The Home Depot, Inc. deploys a sophisticated omnichannel approach to reach its diverse customer base, blending its massive physical footprint with significant digital investments.

Physical big-box retail stores (primary sales channel).

The physical store network remains the backbone of The Home Depot, Inc.'s channel strategy, serving both Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and Professional (Pro) customers, though foot traffic shows a shift in engagement patterns.

As of the first quarter ending May 4, 2025, The Home Depot, Inc. operated a total of 2,350 stores globally.

Here is the breakdown of the store count as of that date:

Region	Number of Stores (as of Q1 2025)
United States	2,028
Canada	182
Mexico	140

The company continued its physical expansion in 2025, planning to open approximately 13 new stores for the fiscal year 2025, following the opening of 12 new stores in fiscal 2024. As of October 15, 2025, there were 2,021 stores specifically in the United States. However, in-store engagement is evolving; foot traffic saw a decline of 4.2% year-over-year in Q1 2025.

E-commerce platform (homedepot.com) for online sales.

The homedepot.com platform is a critical revenue driver, with digital sales growing at an accelerated pace relative to total sales.

For the fiscal third quarter ending November 2, 2025, The Home Depot, Inc. grew its online sales by about 11% year-over-year, which was more than three times the rate of total sales growth for that quarter. In fiscal 2024, the annual sales (GMV) for homedepot.com reached $21,099 million. The conversion rate on the platform in 2024 was in the range of 2.5-3.0%.

Mobile application for ordering, inventory check, and Pro services.

The mobile application is central to the omnichannel experience, supporting research, ordering, and Pro-specific functions.

The Home Depot, Inc. is seeing strong growth in the use of its mobile shopping tools, which aligns with the general trend where shoppers research products online before purchasing. Smartphones are the primary device for users to research and purchase, generating more sales than tablets on Black Friday. The company is focused on leveraging AI to enhance features like chat within the app.

• Mobile app usage is contributing to strong growth in online orders and curbside pickup options.
• 39 percent of U.S. consumers list physical stores as one of their top three locations to browse on a mobile device, showing the crossover importance.

Direct-to-jobsite delivery via expanded distribution network.

The investment in logistics infrastructure is specifically designed to serve the high-value Pro customer with reliable, direct delivery options.

The company is expanding its Flatbed Distribution Centers (FDCs) to support this channel. The original plan, announced in 2020, aimed to build about 150 FDCs to facilitate same- and next-day delivery to 90% of U.S. customers. This network helps deliver larger orders, such as lumber and building materials, directly to job sites. The acquisition of SRS Distribution in June 2024, valued at about $18.25 billion, significantly bolstered this capability by adding a powerful footprint in specialty building supplies. The U.S. pro builder market is estimated by The Home Depot, Inc. to be over $450 billion annually.

Third-party delivery platforms (e.g., Instacart in Canada).

The Home Depot, Inc. partners with third-party last-mile providers to enhance its overall delivery experience for customers.

While specific, current financial contribution figures for third-party platforms like Instacart are not publicly detailed for late 2025, the strategy involves partnering with these providers to make progress on the delivery experience.

The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Segments

You're looking at the core customer groups The Home Depot, Inc. serves as of late 2025. This segmentation is key because the needs of a professional remodeler are miles apart from someone replacing a leaky faucet, so the company tailors its entire operation to serve both effectively.

The Customer Segments are clearly defined, though the lines between the professional and retail sides continue to blur with specialized services and digital tools.

• Professional Contractors (Pro) driving over 50% of sales.
• Do-It-Yourself (DIY) homeowners for smaller, non-discretionary projects.
• Do-It-For-Me (DIFM) customers utilizing installation services.
• Property managers and institutional customers (B2B).
• Homeowners aged 30-65 with moderate to high income.

The Pro segment remains the most critical growth engine, especially following major acquisitions. For instance, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, total sales reached $41.4 billion, and the company noted that sales to Pros grew faster than sales to DIY customers in Q1 2025. Furthermore, big ticket comp transactions (over $1,000), which often correlate with Pro activity, were up 2.3% in Q3 2025.

The DIFM segment is intertwined with the overall service offering, catering to customers who want the project done without doing the labor themselves. The company also serves institutional buyers, which are increasingly being integrated through specialized distribution arms like the acquired GMS Inc., which contributed approximately $900 million to total sales in Q3 2025.

The core DIY and homeowner demographic is currently cautious, prioritizing smaller, essential repairs over large renovations due to economic conditions like high interest rates.

Here's a quick look at the financial context surrounding these segments based on recent performance:

Segment Indicator	Latest Reported Metric (Q3 FY2025)	Context/Related Data Point
Total Company Sales	$41.4 billion	Total sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
Pro-Heavy Categories Strength	Positive Comps	Building materials, lumber, and hardware saw strength in Q1 2025, while discretionary projects were softer.
Big Ticket Transactions (>$1,000)	Up 2.3%	Indicates selective spending, often by higher-income consumers or Pros, in Q3 2025.
Digital Sales Growth	Up approximately 11%	Total company online comp sales growth in Q3 2025.
Core Demographic Age Range	Aged 30 to 65	The typical core demographic, often homeowners with moderate to high income.
Acquisition Impact (B2B/Pro Focus)	$900 million incremental sales	Contribution from GMS Inc. to Q3 2025 total sales.

The Home Depot, Inc. operates a vast network to support these groups, with 2,356 retail stores across the U.S. at the end of Q3 2025, plus over 1,200 SRS locations. This physical footprint is essential for serving both the immediate needs of the DIYer and the job-site demands of the Pro customer.

The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) - Canvas Business Model: Cost Structure

You're looking at the core expenses that drive The Home Depot's operations as of late 2025. Honestly, for a retailer this size, the cost structure is dominated by the sheer volume of goods they move.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is the single largest drain on revenue, which is just the nature of the business. If the Gross Margin is guided to be approximately 33.4% for fiscal year 2025, that means the cost to acquire the products sold-lumber, tools, appliances, and everything else-is consuming roughly 66.6% of every sales dollar before they even cover overhead. This margin figure is critical because it shows the pricing power and sourcing efficiency The Home Depot maintains against inflation and supplier costs.

The company is making significant, planned outlays to keep its logistics modern. Capital Expenditures (CapEx) are budgeted at approximately 2.5% of total sales for fiscal 2025. This investment isn't just for new stores; it's heavily weighted toward supply chain automation and technology upgrades to reduce future handling costs and speed up delivery, especially for the Pro segment.

Store operations and labor are massive fixed and semi-variable costs. The Home Depot employs over 470,000 associates as of the second quarter of 2025, and this workforce supports their 2,353 retail stores operating at the end of Q2 2025. These associate costs cover everything from in-store customer service to managing the complex inventory flow.

To keep the pipeline full and the brand top-of-mind for both Pros and DIYers, marketing and advertising expenses are a necessary, ongoing cost. While the exact dollar amount isn't always broken out in the guidance summary, it's a substantial line item used to drive traffic and support the Pro ecosystem expansion, which includes the recent GMS integration.

Finally, the cost of capital itself shows up in the financials. The guidance for fiscal 2025 includes a projected Net Interest Expense of approximately $2.2 billion. This reflects the cost of servicing the debt used to fund operations, share repurchases, and major strategic moves like the GMS acquisition.

Here's a quick look at some of the key financial guidance points impacting the cost side for FY2025:

Cost/Expense Metric	FY2025 Guidance/Estimate
Gross Margin Percentage	33.4%
Implied COGS Percentage	Approximately 66.6%
Capital Expenditures (as % of Sales)	Approximately 2.5%
Net Interest Expense	Approximately $2.2 billion
Associate Count (Approximate)	Over 470,000

You can see the pressure points clearly when you look at the components:

• Cost of Goods Sold: The largest component by far.
• Labor: Covering over 470,000 associates across the network.
• Technology/Supply Chain Investment: Capped at about 2.5% of sales for CapEx.

The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) - Canvas Business Model: Revenue Streams

The revenue streams for The Home Depot, Inc. are fundamentally built on high-volume, multi-channel merchandise sales, increasingly supplemented by professional services and strategic acquisitions.

Core retail sales of merchandise represent the bulk of the income, covering a vast assortment of tools, building materials, home improvement products, lawn and garden items, and décor. For context on the composition of these sales, in fiscal year 2024, the product segments showed this distribution:

Product Segment	Fiscal Year 2024 Revenue	Percentage of Total Revenue (Approximate)
Major Product Line - Building Materials	$52.76 B	31.8%
Major Product Line, Décor	$51.79 B	31.21%
Major Product Line - Hardlines	$48.56 B	29.27%
Other Operating Segment	$6.41 B	3.86%

Sales to Professional Contractors (Pro) via bulk and recurring orders are a critical, faster-growing component. The acquisition of SRS Distribution in fiscal 2024, which contributed $6.4 billion in sales for the seven months under ownership in that year, significantly bolstered this segment. For fiscal year 2025, the acquired GMS business is expected to contribute approximately $2.0 billion in incremental sales. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, sales to Pros grew faster than sales to DIY customers.

E-commerce sales through homedepot.com and the mobile app show strong growth momentum. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, online sales increased 12% year over year. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, online sales grew at more than three times the rate of total sales, increasing about 11% year over year. For the full fiscal year 2024, online sales on homedepot.com amounted to US$21,099 million.

Revenue from installation and home services (DIFM) is integrated into the overall service offering, often bundled with Pro sales or larger projects. While specific standalone figures for DIFM revenue aren't isolated in the latest reports, the focus on growing the Pro ecosystem, which includes distribution and services, is a key driver.

The overall expectation for the top line is captured in the latest guidance. The Home Depot, Inc. updated its fiscal 2025 guidance to reflect a Total sales growth of approximately 3.0% for the 52-week year compared to the 53-week fiscal 2024. This compares to the Q2 reaffirmation of 2.8% total sales growth.

Key revenue stream metrics as of late 2025 guidance include:

• Total sales growth projected for fiscal year 2025: approximately 3.0%.
• Comparable sales growth projected for fiscal year 2025: slightly positive.
• Third quarter fiscal 2025 total sales reported: $41.4 billion.
• Third quarter fiscal 2025 total sales growth: 2.8% year-over-year.
• Expected GMS contribution to fiscal 2025 total sales: approximately $2.0 billion.
