The Home Depot Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results; Updates Fiscal 2025 Guidance

November 18, 2025

ATLANTA, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — 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. Comparable sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 0.2%, and comparable sales in the U.S. increased 0.1%.

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.

“Our results missed our expectations primarily due to the lack of storms in the third quarter, which resulted in greater than expected pressure in certain categories. Additionally, while underlying demand in the business remained relatively stable sequentially, an expected increase in demand in the third quarter did not materialize. We believe that consumer uncertainty and continued pressure in housing are disproportionately impacting home improvement demand,” said Ted Decker, chair, president and CEO. “Our teams are continuing to execute at a high level and we believe we are growing our market share. I would like to thank our associates for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Fiscal 2025 Guidance
The company updated its fiscal 2025 guidance, a 52-week year compared to fiscal 2024, a 53-week year, to reflect its third quarter performance, continued pressure in the fourth quarter from the lack of storm activity, ongoing consumer uncertainty and housing pressure, and the inclusion of GMS.

Total sales growth of approximately 3.0%
- GMS expected to contribute approximately $2.0 billion in incremental sales
Comparable sales growth to be slightly positive for the comparable 52-week period
Approximately 12 new stores
Gross margin of approximately 33.2%
Operating margin of approximately 12.6%
Adjusted⁽¹⁾ operating margin of approximately 13.0%
Tax rate of approximately 24.5%
Net interest expense of approximately $2.3 billion
Diluted earnings-per-share to decline approximately 6.0% from $14.91 in fiscal 2024
Adjusted⁽¹⁾ diluted earnings-per-share to decline approximately 5.0% from $15.24 in fiscal 2024
Capital expenditures of approximately 2.5% of total sales

The Home Depot will conduct a conference call today at 9 a.m. ET to discuss information included in this news release and related matters. The conference call will be available in its entirety through a webcast and replay at ir.homedepot.com/events-and-presentations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin (calculated as adjusted operating income divided by total net sales), and adjusted diluted earnings per share are presented as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company excludes the impact of amortization expense from acquired intangible assets from adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin, and the impact of amortization expense from acquired intangible assets, including the related tax effects, from adjusted diluted earnings per share. We do not adjust for the revenue that is generated in part from the use of our acquired intangible assets. Amortization expense, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations in any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired, or the useful life of an intangible asset is revised.

When used in conjunction with our GAAP results, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with meaningful supplemental measures of our performance period to period, make it easier for investors to compare our underlying business performance to peers, and align to how management analyzes trends and evaluates performance internally. The Company provides non-GAAP financial information on this basis to facilitate comparability when we report earnings results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for their comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. Our calculation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures.

eBay’s 2025 Recommerce Report Reveals Increased Support for Recommerce as Consumers Embrace Pre-Loved Shopping

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY), a global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world, today released its fifth annual Recommerce Report, revealing that recommerce has moved from niche to mainstream. According to the report, 89% of global consumers surveyed expect to spend the same amount or more on pre-loved goods in 2025 compared to 2024.

The report surveyed more than 27,000 people globally, including both eBay sellers and general consumers, and found that recommerce is no longer viewed simply as an alternative way to shop, but as a conscious lifestyle choice driven by personal values, community connection, and financial empowerment.

“Recommerce is redefining how people shop — led by a new generation that values connection, purpose, and sustainability,” said Jamie Iannone, Chief Executive Officer at eBay. “Nearly 80% of Gen Z and Millennials see themselves as part of this movement, turning their passion for pre-loved items into real impact. eBay has been leading this shift from the start, and with new AI tools, it’s now easier than ever to give great products a second life and build a more sustainable future.”

Younger Generations Fuel Recommerce Growth
Gen Z and Millennials are driving recommerce forward, with 59% of Gen Z and 56% of Millennials surveyed planning to increase their spending on pre-loved goods this year. More than one-third (35%) of all consumers now buy pre-loved goods monthly or more often, highlighting how deeply integrated recommerce has become in everyday shopping behaviors.

“Recommerce has evolved into a global movement driven by purpose,” said Renee Morin, Chief Sustainability Officer at eBay. “Today’s consumers are choosing pre-loved goods not just for value but to make more sustainable choices that benefit people and the planet. eBay stands at the center of this transformation, fueling economic opportunity and driving the circular economy forward.”

Purpose Meets Practicality: Why People Choose Pre-Loved
Consumers are embracing recommerce for both practical and purposeful reasons, balancing financial motivation with values-driven intent.

Saving money is one of the top three reasons consumers buy pre-loved goods, with 81% citing it as a key motivation. Sustainability and environmental benefits also rank high at 45%, showing that shoppers are increasingly driven by both practical and purposeful reasons.

Other leading drivers include looking for a specific item they can’t find new (37%), seeking unique or collectible pieces (36%), and a dislike of fast fashion (17%)—reinforcing that recommerce reflects not just economic savvy, but individuality and intent.

Community and Connection Drive Engagement
The report reveals that recommerce fosters meaningful connections between buyers and sellers. 63% of consumers consider themselves part of a recommerce community, with that number rising to nearly 80% among Gen Z and Millennials. Additionally, 65% of consumers enjoy the “thrill of the hunt” when searching for pre-loved items, and 56% agree that buying pre-loved goods allows them to express their personal style.

For sellers, passion is a primary motivator, particularly in enthusiast categories. In Trading Cards (45%), Collectibles (37%), and Antiques (35%), sharing passion for specific items is the top reason sellers participate in recommerce, creating vibrant communities where expertise is celebrated and shared.

Economic Empowerment Through Recommerce
As economic uncertainty persists, recommerce offers both financial relief and opportunity. 81% of consumers feel good about having saved money on their pre-loved purchases, while 86% of eBay sellers source inventory from their own belongings, transforming items they already own into income.

As recommerce continues to grow globally, eBay remains focused on creating economic opportunity for all and fueling a community of enthusiasts around the world.The 2025 Recommerce Report underscores how conscious consumerism, economic empowerment, and connection are shaping the future of shopping and that eBay’s trusted marketplace is well positioned to lead that future by enabling sustainable growth, supporting sellers, and inspiring the next generation of enthusiasts.

About the Research
The 2025 Recommerce Report is based on two surveys conducted by Forsta on behalf of eBay. The external survey included approximately 16,020 consumers across the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and Japan, fielded between August 25 and October 9, 2025. Respondents represented buyers and sellers who have engaged in recommerce—defined as the buying or selling of pre-loved or second-hand goods.

In addition, a survey of 11,099 eBay sellers was conducted between August 12 and August 25, 2025, across the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, Japan, China, and Taiwan. All respondents were active eBay sellers participating in the recommerce economy by selling pre-loved or second-hand goods on the platform.

Business Liquidation of Lectorum Publications, the Nation’s Largest Spanish-Language Book Distributor, Following Major Federal Funding Shifts

November 17, 2025

0

PINE BROOK, N.J., Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A.J. Willner Auctions will conduct a major liquidation auction of approximately 700,000 Spanish-language and bilingual books from Lectorum Publications, the largest and longest-running Spanish-language book distributor in the United States. The company is closing its doors after more than 60 years in business, citing dramatic federal funding changes that devastated sales throughout 2024.

Lectorum president and CEO Alex Correa told Publishers Weekly that the company’s downfall was driven by a sudden and severe shift in federal school funding—specifically, changes to Title I allocations, which historically enabled schools to purchase Spanish-language reading materials for bilingual and ESL programs.

“The most critical factor for us was the shift in federal funding policies for schools, in particular regarding Title I funds, intended in part for purchases of books in Spanish,” Correa said.

“Our sales were impacted by 30% during the year, which is hard on an industry that already works with thin margins.”

For decades, Lectorum was a cornerstone supplier to educational institutions across the U.S. In previous years, schools accounted for roughly 60% of the company’s business, and children’s books for grades K–8 represented 70–75% of total sales. After the pandemic, the company’s revenue stabilized at roughly $12 million annually, but the sudden policy shift and corresponding drop in school purchasing proved unsustainable.

With school budgets redirected and Spanish-language book allocations curtailed, Lectorum experienced an unprecedented collapse in demand—forcing the company to wind down operations and liquidate its inventory.

Auction Details

Auctioneer: A.J. Willner Auctions
Inventory: Approx. 700,000 Spanish-language & bilingual books
Categories: K–8 children’s literature, award-winning titles, classroom sets, library editions, trade books, bilingual readers, and more
Location: Pine Brook, NJ
Timed Online Auction Ends: Dec 4^th, 2025.

A Historic Opportunity for Schools, Libraries, Liquidators & Resellers

For decades, Lectorum has been the leading source of Spanish-language literature for U.S. schools, libraries, bilingual programs, and literacy initiatives. The liquidation represents the single largest offering of Spanish-language educational inventory to hit the U.S. market in years.

Buyers will have access to:

Pallet lots of new, current-catalog titles
Children’s bestsellers and bilingual classics
Classroom sets and guided-reading materials
Hardcovers, paperbacks, library bindings
Publisher overstocks, backlist, and deep inventory across all age groups

About Lectorum Publications

Founded more than 60 years ago, Lectorum Publications was the nation’s largest independent distributor of Spanish-language books, serving public schools, dual-language programs, universities, and libraries nationwide. The company also operated as a publisher and produced Spanish-language editions of major U.S. children’s titles.

Solar Powered Atmospheric Water System From AWG Contracting Saves Jamaican Village after Disastrous Hurricane Melissa

November 17, 2025

Moses West, Founder and CEO of AWG Consulting

Keeps Village Supplied With Clean Drinking Water Indefinitely

Off-grid atmospheric generator produces 400 gallons daily after Category 5 storm, proving renewable technology can outlast catastrophe

CHICAGO, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — When Hurricane Melissa slammed into Jamaica with 195-mile-per-hour winds in October 2025, power grids collapsed and water systems failed across the island. But high in the Cockpit Country mountains, one machine refused to quit.

A solar-powered atmospheric water generator deployed by AWG Contracting kept turning humid air into clean drinking water for the autonomous Maroon community of Accompong, producing nearly 400 gallons daily while conventional infrastructure lay in ruins.

“We designed this technology to do one thing — save lives,” said Moses West, founder of AWG Contracting and the engineer behind the innovation. “Hurricane Melissa tested every limit of our engineering. The fact that the machine kept producing water when everything else failed shows what renewable resilience really means.”

“Despite being flipped and battered by hurricane-force winds that overturned steel containers weighing 30,000 and 16,000 pounds, the AWG survived,” said Chief Richard Currie, State of Accompong. “Within 48 hours, once the units were righted, the system was back online—producing clean, drinkable water powered entirely by the sun. That is not only a technological triumph—it is a humanitarian victory.”

Operating entirely on solar energy, the MWF system survived the Category 5 storm. When Melissa’s winds overturned the 40-foot container housing the generator and its solar array, local technicians, working with remote guidance from the AWG Contracting team, dried electrical compartments, replaced minor components, and restored full operation within hours.

The Accompong installation is the only atmospheric water system in Jamaica powered solely by renewable energy, and now stands as living proof that decentralized, off-grid infrastructure can endure extreme weather while providing life-saving resources.

A Growing Legacy of Water Security

From Flint, Michigan, to Puerto Rico and Jackson, Mississippi, the AWG Contracting has delivered safe water where conventional networks collapse. The Foundation’s atmospheric-water technology is now viewed by global adaptation planners as a vital model for building resilience against climate-driven droughts, contamination, and storm damage.

“If we can make water in a hurricane, we can make it anywhere,” West added. “This technology gives communities control over the most basic resource on earth: using nothing but sunlight and air.”

The system emits no carbon, uses no chemicals, and requires no pipeline or groundwater extraction: a portable, sustainable blueprint for humanitarian and emergency response worldwide.

About AWG Contracting
AWG Contracting designs and manufactures solar-powered atmospheric water systems and is expanding U.S. production through a $25 million clean-manufacturing project to deliver sustainable, deployable water infrastructure worldwide.

About The Moses West Foundation
The Moses West Foundation is a U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to bringing renewable, atmospheric-water systems to communities lacking safe drinking water. Founded by Army Ranger and engineer Moses West, the Foundation has deployed life-saving water technology across disaster-affected and underserved regions in the Americas and Caribbean. The is a point specific, resilient, reliable, 100% renewable source of infinite water.

Visa, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-02738-BMC-JAM (E.D.N.Y.). The lawsuit alleges Defendants violated antitrust laws by entering into a conspiracy to adopt the same policy via nearly identical rules for shifting billions of dollars in liability for fraudulent charges, or “chargebacks,” from banks to merchants (“Fraud Liability Shift”) when a credit or debit card was enabled with EMV/chip technology and the merchant’s terminal was not enabled for EMV/chip technology and made the liability shift effective on the same day and in the same manner for all four networks. Defendants deny the legal claims and deny any wrongdoing or liability.

Who Is Included? The Class includes: All merchants who incurred one or more unreimbursed chargeback(s) between October 1, 2015 through and including September 30, 2017, pursuant to the Fraud Liability Shift for the assessment of Mastercard, Visa, Discover and/or Amex payment card chargebacks. Excluded from the Class are members of the judiciary and government entities or agencies. Any class members who previously excluded themselves from this lawsuit by filing a request for exclusion consistent with the requirements set forth in the Order Granting Unopposed Motion for Approval of Proposed Class Notice and Notice Plan dated June 3, 2022, are no longer included in the Class and will not be able to file a Claim Form in the future for the Settlements.

What Do the Settlements Provide? Defendants have each reached settlements totaling a combined $231.7 million.

Can I Get a Payment Now? No. There will be no payments to Class members at this time. Class members will be notified later of an opportunity to file a Claim Form from the Settlements.

Other Options. You may object to the Settlements and/or Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses by January 26, 2026. The Long Form Notice on the Settlement Website explains how to object.

The Court will hold a Final Fairness Hearing on April 27, 2026, to consider any objections and whether to approve the Settlements and Class Counsel’s requests for attorneys’ fees of 33.3% of the $32.2 million class recovery for the Discover and Amex Settlements and 27.5% of the $199.5 million class recovery for the Visa and Mastercard Settlement, plus any applicable interest awarded by the Court and earned on such fees, if any. Class Counsel will also request reimbursement for their litigation expenses (separate from the administrative costs of settlement or notice), not to exceed $5 million, and a service award for each of the three Class Representatives up to $50,000 for their representation of merchants.

You or your lawyer may attend and ask to speak at the hearing if you object and file a Notice of Intention to Appear with the Court, but you are not required to do so. All the Court’s orders and any judgments will apply to you and legally bind you.

This notice is a summary. The Settlement Agreements and more information about the lawsuit and Settlements are available at www.FraudLiabilityShiftLitigation.com or by calling toll-free 1-855-662-0073.
