Combining its momentum online with the company's consistent ability to attract business from pro customers, Home Depot is positioned for more strong growth in 2018.

The dividend is payable on March 28, 2019, to shareholders of record on the close of business on March 14, 2019. This is the 128th consecutive quarter the Company has paid a cash dividend.

Based on its year-to-date performance, the Company updated its fiscal 2018 sales growth guidance and now expects sales will be up approximately 7.0 percent including the 53rd week, with comp sales growth of approximately 5.3 percent for the comparable 52-week period.

Home Depot: e-commerce as share of total sales 2019-2021
Looking ahead, Home Depot chief market officer Kevin Hofmann said he expects similar growth for Home Depot's online business in 2018. "We have a consistent track record of over $1 billion of growth in each of the last few years in our online property. We'll look to do that again in '18." But there was more to like about the quarter than what was featured in Home Depot's fourth-quarter earnings release. Here are some of the most insightful takeaways from management's conference call with analystsafter the earnings report was released. Founded in 1993 by brothers Tom and David Gardner, The Motley Fool helps millions of people attain financial freedom through our website, podcasts, books, newspaper column, radio show, and premium investing services. This supply chain push is part of the One Home Depot Supply Chain initiative, a $1.2 billion supply chain upgrade that also includes a number of pilot fulfillment centers that came online this year.
Revenue was up 149.0% to $38.1 million for the quarter ending Sept. 30 from $15.3 million during the same period last year. Direct-to-consumer sales accounted for 21.9% of revenue for the quarter, compared to 11.7% the year before. Though Hope Depot seems mostly immune to the negative impact of e-commerce on brick-and-mortar businesses as it consistently reports strong comparable store sales growth, this doesn't mean the home improvement retailer isn't benefiting from the rise of online shopping. Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 were $3.5 billion, or $3.05 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $2.7 billion, or $2.25 per diluted share, in the same period of fiscal 2017. For the second quarter of fiscal 2018, diluted earnings per share increased 35.6 percent from the same period in the prior year. Market researcher eMarketer identifies Home Depot as the fourth largest e-commerce site -- the DIY center had about $6.7 billion in online sales in 2017, a 21.5% increase over the prior year.
Strong online sales growth
Macy’s Inc. (No. 6) reported double-digit online growth for the third quarter ending Nov. 3, but didn’t break out exact numbers. During the quarter, the apparel department store expanded its in-store pickup options, and ship-to-store use has seen greater than expected use, according to CEO Jeff Gennette. The ship-to-store success is partially attributed to the introduction of vendor-direct sales, which launched in April and has expanded the number of different products available to Macy’s online customers.
The conference call will be available in its entirety through a webcast and replay at ir.homedepot.com/events-and-presentations. The board of directors also authorized a new $15 billion share repurchase program, replacing its previous authorization.

Home Depot can now ship to 95% of the U.S. population in two days or less, Menear said, and the retailer intends to reach 90% of the population with same-day shipping by 2020. As part of that effort, its car- and van-based delivery, mostly powered by startups Roadie and Deliv that rely on contractor drivers, now reaches 41% of the population, with increased use from both professional and do-it-yourself consumer customers, Decker said. The Company today announced that its board of directors declared a 32.0 percent increase in its quarterly dividend to $1.36 per share. Sales for fiscal 2018 were $108.2 billion, an increase of 7.2 percent from fiscal 2017. Total company comparable sales for fiscal 2018 increased 5.2 percent, and comp sales in the U.S. were positive 5.4 percent for the year.
These items, not usually stocked in Macy’s stores, can be shipped to stores for free for pickup by customers. The Company has adopted this standard on a modified retrospective basis. In accordance therewith, financial information prior to fiscal 2018 will not be recast.
The gross margins for Home Depot and for Lowe’s are both in the ballpark of 35%. A gross margin of 35% will mean that you will be able to invest $0.35 out of every dollar back into your operating income. In this case, there are no worries because these margins are very consistent. One can never draw a true picture of how things are going because of how a store is performing with online revenues. Let’s examine some more numbers to get a better idea of what is really going on behind the scenes.
In 2021, 13.7 percent of Home Depot's net sales were generated through e-commerce. In comparison, the home improvement company recorded 14.4 percent of their sales being made online in the previous year. Earnings per diluted share in fiscal 2018 were $9.73, compared to $7.29 per diluted share in fiscal 2017, an increase of 33.5 percent. Because a Home Depot is situated within 10 miles of 90% of the U.S. population, being able to make same-day or overnight deliveries to customers is essential. In-store order pickup is another tool for the company to employ as it maximizes speed and convenience for customers, regardless of how they shop with Home Depot.
Home Depot is spending heavily to improve the customer experience, with plans to invest $11 billion over the next three years in its stores, online and IT platforms, and in unifying its supply chain. The company will build 170 distribution facilities, 40 flatbed distribution centers for contractor deliveries, and 100 new market delivery hubs for home delivery of larger products. The Home Depot and Lowe’s are two of the key retailers competing within the home improvement and do it yourself industry in the United States. In 2018, each Home Depot store averaged about 49.4 million U.S. dollars’ worth of sales. Menards and Ace Hardware are other home improvement retailers in the United States.
Also, Lowe's organic traffic is worth more than Home Depot's organic traffic is, yet according to the numbers, Home Depot is bringing in 6x more revenue online than Lowe’s is. For over 50% of e-commerce orders, customers pick up orders in-store. BrainStation is the global leader in digital skills training, empowering businesses and brands to succeed in the digital age.

The consolidated statements of earnings and balance sheet for periods and dates subsequent to fiscal 2017 reflect the effect of this accounting policy adoption. The average sales per store is $41.24 million coming from $33.68 million in 2013. The average sale per square foot growth has averaged out at 5.7% since 2013. This number is considerably lower than that of Home Depot, which means they might not be taking advantage of all of their stores’ space. “Online sales grew 20.8% in the quarter, and 21.4% for the year, and over 50% of the time, our customers choose to pick up their order in a store. This is the power of the interconnected retail strategy,” says Craig Menear, president and CEO of Home Depot.
