Lowe's corporate services developed alongside store growth: installation programs for flooring, kitchens, and major appliances became standard offerings, extended through Protection Plans for product warranties. The corporate services layer expanded substantially under Marvin Ellison's leadership from 2018, adding supply chain modernization, digital platform operations (Mylow AI assistants handling nearly one million questions monthly), and enterprise account management.
The 2025 acquisitions of Foundation Building Materials ($8.8 billion) and Artisan Design Group added professional distribution and interior design services to the corporate services structure, part of the Total Home Strategy integrating products, services, and fulfillment for large customers.
Lowe's reported FY2025 sales of $86.3 billion for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026, with positive comparable sales of 0.2%. Net earnings were $6.65 billion, or $11.85 per diluted share. Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached $12.28, up 2.4% year-over-year. Operating margin was 11.8%, and adjusted operating margin was 12.1%. The company generated $7.7 billion in free cash flow and returned $2.6 billion in dividends to shareholders.
In Q4 2025, Lowe's reported sales of $20.6 billion, up from $18.6 billion in the prior-year quarter, with comparable sales growth of 1.3%. Q4 net earnings were $1.0 billion, or $1.78 per diluted share. The quarter included $149 million in pre-tax expenses related to the Foundation Building Materials and Artisan Design Group acquisitions. Adjusted Q4 diluted EPS was $1.98, up 2.6% year-over-year.
For FY2026, Lowe's provided outlook for total sales of $92.0 to $94.0 billion, representing approximately 7% to 9% growth, with comparable sales expected to be flat to up 2%. The company guided adjusted diluted EPS of $12.25 to $12.75 and capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion.
Service operations follow Lowe's corporate responsibility framework, including responsible sourcing requirements for installation materials and warranty fulfillment standards under the Protection Plans program.
Lowe's service operations are ranked alongside the retail brand's Fortune 500 standing, with installation services recognized in home improvement industry coverage.
Installation Quality: As with all large-scale service programs, installation quality varies by subcontractor, generating periodic consumer complaints handled through Lowe's service guarantee processes.
Protection Plan Claims: Warranty claim disputes and coverage interpretations produce periodic complaints, standard for extended-service-plan offerings.
