THE HOME DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2001, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 1-8207). 2. ISSUANCE OF SENIOR NOTES: On April 12, 2001, the Company issued $500,000,000 of 5 3/8% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due April 1, 2006. The Company will pay interest semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year commencing October 1, 2001. The Company, at its option, may at any time redeem all or any portion of the Senior Notes by notice to the holders. The Senior Notes are redeemable at a redemption price plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The redemption price is equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest to maturity. The Senior Notes are not subject to sinking fund requirements. 3. IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD: On January 29, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. Under SFAS 133, all derivatives are carried on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized immediately in earnings, unless the derivatives qualify as hedges. For a derivative qualifying as a hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is recorded temporarily in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and then recognized in earnings along with the related effect of the hedged item. The ineffective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is reported in earnings as it occurs. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial results. 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT: On May 2, 2001, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Total HOME de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("Total HOME"), a four-store chain of home improvement stores in Mexico.

THE HOME DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain written and oral statements made by us or our authorized executive officers on our behalf constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases such as "should result," "are expected to," "we anticipate," "we estimate," "we project" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unanticipated weather conditions; stability of costs and commodity prices and availability of sourcing channels; the ability to attract, train and retain highly-qualified associates; conditions affecting the availability, acquisition, development and ownership of real estate; general economic conditions; the impact of competition; and regulatory and litigation matters. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, since such statements speak only as of the date of the making of such statements. Additional information concerning these risks and uncertainties is contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased 9.8% to $12.2 billion from $11.1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The sales increase was primarily attributable to new stores opened since the end of the first fiscal quarter last year (1,178 stores open at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 971 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000). The increase in sales was partially offset by a 3% decline in comparable store-for-store sales. Price deflation in lumber and certain building material products negatively impacted comparable store-for-store sales by approximately 1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. We expect the impact of price deflation in lumber and certain building material products to be less significant in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, as we begin to anniversary cost declines in the previous year. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 30.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 29.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The gross profit rate increase was primarily attributable to lower costs of merchandise resulting from ongoing benefits of product line reviews; reduced penetration of lower margin lumber sales; and the addition of tool rental centers. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we were operating 381 tool rental centers compared to 177 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase in the gross profit rate was partially offset by increased sales penetration of appliances, which typically carry a lower margin rate. Page 9 of 15
THE HOME DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued) Selling and store operating expenses as a percent of sales were 19.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 18.3% for the same period in fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to higher store selling payroll expenses resulting mainly from continued market wage pressures, partially offset by an increase in labor productivity as measured by sales per labor hour. The addition of 204 tool rental centers also increased payroll, depreciation and other costs, while increasing gross margin. In addition, medical insurance costs were higher during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the same period of fiscal 2000, due to expansion in the insured base of associates and rising healthcare costs. Finally, store occupancy costs, including property taxes, property rent and utilities, increased due to new store growth and energy rate increases. Pre-opening expenses as a percent of sales were 0.2% for the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. We opened 44 stores and relocated two stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with 41 new stores and one store relocation during the first quarter of fiscal 2000. For the first quarter of fiscal 2001, pre-opening expenses averaged $585,000 per store compared to $587,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. General and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 1.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 1.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease was related to our continued focus on expense control, which has not affected our continuing investment in long-term growth and strategic initiatives. As a percent of sales, interest and investment income was 0.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 0.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Interest expense as a percent of sales was 0.0% for the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. Our combined federal and state effective income tax rate decreased to 38.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 38.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease is attributable to higher projected tax credits during fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000. Net earnings as a percent of sales were 5.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 5.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease was attributable to higher selling and store operating expenses as a percent of sales, which was partially offset by a higher gross profit rate as described above. Page 10 of 15
THE HOME DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued) Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 for the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash flow generated from store operations provides a significant source of liquidity. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, cash provided by operations increased to $2.2 billion compared to $1.7 billion in the same period of fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in average inventory per store of approximately 7% and because days payable outstanding increased at a higher rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the same period last year. Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $778 million compared to $686 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures relating to the planned opening of 118 new stores in the first half of 2001 compared to 81 stores opened during the first half of 2000. We plan to open a total of 200 new stores and relocate 4 stores during fiscal 2001, exclusive of the addition of 4 Total HOME stores. It is anticipated that 92% of these locations will be owned, and the remainder will be leased. The cost of new stores to be constructed and owned varies widely, principally due to land costs, and is expected to average approximately $14.9 million per location. The cost to remodel and/or fixture stores to be leased is expected to average approximately $5.1 million per store. In addition, each new store is projected to require approximately $3.5 million to finance inventories, net of vendor financing. On May 2, 2001, we agreed to acquire Total HOME, a four-store chain of home improvement stores in Mexico. We anticipate that the transaction will close in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 after receipt of regulatory approvals. In the first quarter of fiscal 2001, cash used in financing activities increased to $244 million compared to $5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2000 due to the repayment of $754 million of commercial paper obligations outstanding as of January 28, 2001. This repayment was funded through cash provided by operations. In addition, we raised $500 million from the issuance of 5 3/8% Senior Notes on April 12, 2001. The Senior Notes are due on April 1, 2006 and pay interest semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year commencing October 1, 2001. The net proceeds from the Senior Notes will be used to finance a portion of our capital expenditure programs, for working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. Page 11 of 15
THE HOME DEPOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - (Continued) We have a commercial paper program that allows borrowings up to a maximum of $1 billion. As of April 29, 2001, there were no borrowings outstanding under the program. As of April 29, 2001, we had $1.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that our current cash position, internally generated funds, funds available from the $1 billion commercial paper program and the ability to obtain alternate sources of financing should enable us to complete our capital expenditure programs through the next several fiscal years. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We use derivative financial instruments at various times to manage the risk associated with foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations. These contracts are insignificant to our operations and financial position. Page 12 of 15
