Introduction
The Home Depot was a dream that two friends thought about at a Los Angeles coffee
shop in 1978 (The Home Depot, 2023, “Home Is Where Our Story Begins,” para. 2). The Home
Depot was established by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank on June 29, 1978 (The Home Depot,
2023, “About Us,” para. 1). On June 22, 1979, they established the first two stores in Atlanta,
Georgia, with the assistance of investment banker Ken Langone and merchandising specialist Pat
Farrah (The Home Depot, 2023, “Home Is Where Our Story Begins,” para. 3).
The Home Depot has become the largest personal or business home improvement retailer
on the planet, offering a wide range of materials, products, services, and tools. The number of
operated stores is 2,322 at the end of 2022, throughout all the above areas listed (The Home
Depot, 2023, “Form 10-K 2022,” p. 1). They have outlets in Mexico, Canada, and the US, as
well as staff members in China, India, Italy, Poland, Turkey, and Vietnam. The Home Depot
employs over 470,00 personnel with about 46,500 salaried personnel, and the rest are hourly
based (The Home Depot, 2023, “Form 10-K 2022,” p. 6). The competition for them is several
other companies that sell building materials, lumber yards, electrical stores, and plumbing stores
to name a few (The Home Depot, 2023, “Form 10-K 2022,” p. 3).
In this report, we will analyze The Home Depot’s financial statements from the Securities
and Exchange Commission, which cover the years 2020 to 2022 and ratios during these years.
Their fiscal year for the annual statements is from 31 January to 30 January each year (The
Home Depot, 2023, “Form 10-K 2022,” p. 1).
