Lowe's Companies, Inc. reported its first quarter 2025 financial results, showing a modest decline in both sales and earnings compared to the same period in 2024. For the quarter ending May 2, 2025, the company posted net earnings of $1.6 billion and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.92, down slightly from the $3.06 EPS reported in Q1 of the previous year. Total quarterly sales came in at $20.9 billion, compared to $21.4 billion a year ago. Comparable sales fell by 1.7%, primarily due to unfavorable weather conditions early in the quarter. However, this was partially offset by solid mid-single-digit growth in sales to professional customers ("Pro") and online sales.



Despite these headwinds, Lowe's highlighted strong customer satisfaction, pointing to improved service scores and a top ranking in J.D. Power's 2025 Customer Satisfaction survey for home improvement retailers. CEO Marvin Ellison attributed this success to the company's investments in technology, enhanced store environments, and the dedication of front-line associates, especially during the busy spring season.

Lowe's continues to focus on long-term shareholder value, demonstrated by a dividend payout of $645 million during the quarter. The company operated 1,750 stores as of early May, covering over 195 million square feet of retail space.

Looking ahead, Lowe's reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance. The company expects total sales between $83.5 billion and $84.5 billion, with comparable sales ranging from flat to a 1% increase. Operating margins are forecasted between 12.3% and 12.4%, with diluted EPS projected in the range of $12.15 to $12.40. Other key expectations include $1.3 billion in net interest expense, $1.8 billion in depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures around $2.5 billion. The effective income tax rate is expected to be approximately 24.5%.
