The home improvement market in which we operate is highly fragmented. Our retail stores and online focus on serving individual homeowners and renters completing a wide array of projects, that vary along the spectrum of DIY and do-it-for-me (DIFM). In addition, we focus on Pro customers that are primarily the small to medium sized Pro, which includes three broad categories: tradespeople, repair and remodelers, and property managers. With the acquisitions of FBM and ADG in 2025, we are taking an important step in our Total Home strategy to serve larger Pro customers in the residential and commercial markets.
