FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION

This quarterly report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth strategies and the industries in which we operate.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industries in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industries in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by the forward-looking statements; including those factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2020 and those described from time to time in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements relating to our operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industries in which we operate include, but are not limited to the following, many of which are, and will be, amplified by the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, and classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020:

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our sales, operations and supply chain, as well as the impacts on our customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners;
our ability to successfully complete the previously announced separation of our Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial businesses into two independent publicly traded companies and obtain the benefits therefrom;
the incurrence of significant transaction costs;
the increased demands on management to prepare for and accomplish the separation;
inherent risks of the maintenance, repair and operations market and the non-residential and residential construction markets;
our ability to maintain profitability;
our ability to service our debt and to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness;
limitations and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness;

Table of Contents

the competitive environment in which we operate and demand for our products and services in highly competitive and fragmented industries;
the loss of any of our significant customers;
competitive pricing pressure from our customers;
our ability to identify and acquire suitable acquisition candidates on favorable terms;
cyclicality and seasonality of the maintenance, repair and operations market and the non-residential and residential construction markets;
our ability to identify and develop relationships with a sufficient number of qualified suppliers to maintain our supply chains;
our ability to manage fixed costs;
the development of alternatives to distributors in the supply chain;
our ability to manage our working capital through product purchasing and customer credit policies;
interruptions in the proper functioning of our information technology, or “IT” systems, including from cybersecurity threats;
potential material liabilities under our self-insured programs;
our ability to attract, train and retain highly-qualified associates and key personnel;
new and/or proposed trade policies could make sourcing product from foreign countries more difficult and more costly;
limitations on our income tax net operating loss carryforwards in the event of an ownership change; and
our ability to identify and integrate new products.

You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements made in this report. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, changes in future operating results over time or otherwise. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

HD Supply Holdings, Inc. (‘‘Holdings’’) indirectly owns all of the outstanding common stock of HD Supply, Inc. (“HDS”).

Holdings, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including HDS (“HD Supply” or the “Company”), is one of the largest industrial distribution companies in North America. The Company specializes in two distinct market sectors: Maintenance, Repair & Operations and Specialty Construction. Through approximately 270 branches and 44 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada, the Company serves these markets with an integrated go-to-market strategy. HD Supply has more than 11,000 associates delivering localized, customer-tailored products, services and expertise. The Company serves approximately 500,000 customers, which include contractors, maintenance professionals, industrial businesses, and government entities. HD Supply’s broad range of end-to-end product lines and services includes approximately 600,000 stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) of quality, name-brand and proprietary-brand products as well as value-add services supporting the entire life-cycle of a project from construction to maintenance, repair and operations.

HD Supply is managed primarily on a product line basis and reports results of operations in two reportable segments. The reportable segments are Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include Corporate and Eliminations, which is comprised of enterprise-wide functional departments.

Basis of Presentation

In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.  Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year.  Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.  For a more complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other information, you should read this report in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2020, which includes all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Fiscal Year

HD Supply’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31. The fiscal years ending January 31, 2021 ("fiscal 2020") and February 2, 2020 (“fiscal 2019”) both include 52 weeks. The three months ended May 3, 2020 ("first quarter 2020”) and May 5, 2019 ("first quarter 2019”) both include 13 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Holdings present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including HDS. The consolidated financial statements of HDS present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of HDS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Results of operations of businesses acquired are included from their respective dates of acquisition.

Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses in preparing these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Self-Insurance

HD Supply has a high-deductible insurance program for most losses related to general liability, product liability, environmental liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation, and is self-insured for certain legal claims and medical claims, while maintaining per employee stop-loss coverage. The expected ultimate cost for claims incurred as of the balance sheet date is not discounted and is recognized as a liability. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical loss development experience. At May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, self-insurance reserves totaled approximately $52 million and $50 million, respectively.

NOTE 2 — DEBT

HDS’s long-term debt as of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020 consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

Senior Credit Facilities

Senior ABL Facility

The Senior Asset Based Lending Facility due 2022 (the “Senior ABL Facility”) provides for senior secured revolving loans and letters of credit of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,000 million (subject to availability under a borrowing base). Extensions of credit under the Senior ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments. A portion of the Senior ABL Facility is available for letters of credit and swingline loans. As of May 3, 2020, HDS had $717 million of Excess Availability (as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement) under the Senior ABL Facility (after giving effect to the borrowing base limitations and approximately $24 million in letters of credit issued and including $85 million of borrowings available on qualifying cash balances). As of May 3, 2020, approximately $51 million of the outstanding borrowings on the Senior ABL Facility are denominated in Canadian dollars.

At HDS’s option, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the Senior ABL Facility are based (i) in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, either at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, or Prime Rate (as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement) plus an applicable margin and (ii) in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated loans, either the Bankers’ Acceptance (“BA”) rate plus an applicable margin, or the Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin. The margins applicable for each elected interest rate are subject to a pricing grid, as defined in the agreement governing the Senior ABL Facility, based on average Excess Availability for the previous fiscal quarter. The Senior ABL Facility also contains a letter of credit fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement) then in effect for LIBOR Loans and an unused commitment fee subject to a pricing grid, included in the agreement governing the Senior ABL Facility, based on Excess Availability.

The Senior ABL Facility also permits HDS to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to be included in the Senior ABL Facility or one or more revolving credit facility commitments to be included in the Senior ABL Facility.

Senior Term Loan Facility

HDS’s Senior Term Facility (the “Senior Term Facility”) consists of a senior secured term loan facility (the ‘‘Term Loan Facility,’’ and the term loans thereunder, the ‘‘Term Loans’’) providing for Term Loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,070 million (the “Term B-5 Loans”). The Term B-5 Loans will mature on October 17, 2023 and amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans with the balance payable at the maturity date. The Term B-5 Loans bear interest at the applicable margin for borrowings of 1.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 0.75% for base rate borrowings.

For additional information on HDS’s Senior ABL Facility or Senior Term Facility (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”), including guarantees and security, please refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2020.

Unsecured Notes

5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026

HDS issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes”) under an Indenture, dated as of October 11, 2018 (the “October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes Indenture”) among HDS, certain subsidiaries of HDS as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and the Trustee. The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum and will mature on October 15, 2026. Interest is paid semi-annually on April 15th and October 15th of each year.

The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes are unsecured senior indebtedness of HDS and rank equal in right of payment with all of HDS’s existing and future senior indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all of HDS’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and effectively subordinated to all of HDS’s existing and future secured indebtedness, including, without limitation, indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing each indebtedness.

The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by each of HDS’s direct and indirect existing and future subsidiaries that is a wholly owned domestic subsidiary (other than certain excluded subsidiaries), and by each other domestic subsidiary that is a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility or that guarantees HDS’s obligations under any credit facility or capital market securities. These guarantees are subject to release under customary circumstances as stipulated in the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes Indenture.

The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes and related guarantees have not been, and are not required to be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

Debt covenants

HDS’s outstanding debt agreements contain various restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and dividend payments and restrictions on the use of proceeds from asset dispositions. As of May 3, 2020, HDS was in compliance with all such covenants that were in effect on such date. Furthermore, while these restrictions may, at times, limit the amount of dividends, distributions or intercompany transfers that HDS or a particular subsidiary guarantor may pay or make, as applicable, the Company believes that, as of May 3, 2020, it had no such limitations.

NOTE 3 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Hedge Strategy and Accounting Policy

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes. In hedging the exposure to variable cash flows on forecasted transactions, deferral accounting is applied when the derivative reduces the risk of the underlying hedged item effectively as a result of high inverse correlation with the value of the underlying exposure. If a derivative instrument either initially fails or later ceases to meet the criteria for deferral accounting, any subsequent gains or losses are recognized currently in income. Cash flows resulting from derivative financial instruments are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.

Cash Flow Hedge

On October 24, 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $750 million, designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging ,” to hedge the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s variable-rate debt. The interest rate swap agreement swaps a LIBOR rate for a fixed rate of 3.07% and matures on October 17, 2023. The swap effectively converts a portion of the Company’s Term B-5 Loans from a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% to a 4.82% fixed rate.

As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was a liability of $72 million and $50 million, respectively, which was reflected as $22 million and $12 million in Other current liabilities and $50 million and $38 million in Other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy in "Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements."Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) within Stockholders’ Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.  See “Note 6 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss),” for further information.

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value measurements and disclosure principles of GAAP (ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and provide disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.  These principles define a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists.

The Company’s financial instruments that are not reflected at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows as of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020 (amounts in millions):

The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value of the long-term debt.  Management’s fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for recent trades of HDS’s long-term debt, recent similar credit facilities initiated by companies with like credit quality in similar industries, quoted prices for similar instruments, and inquiries with certain investment communities.

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, the Company’s combined federal, state, and foreign effective tax rate for continuing operations was 25.0% and 24.6%, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate will vary based on a variety of factors, including overall profitability, the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in the jurisdictions where it operates, restructuring and other one-time charges, as well as discrete events, such as audit settlements.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including modifications to the rules limiting the deductibility of net operating losses (“NOLs”), expensing of qualified improvement property and business interest in Internal Revenue Code Sections 172(a) and 163(j), respectively. The effects of the new legislation are recognized upon enactment. The Company did not recognize any significant impact to income tax expense for the three months ended May 3, 2020 related to the CARES Act.

As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with the income taxes principles of GAAP (ASC 740, “Income Taxes”) were $16 million and $17 million, respectively. The decrease of $1 million was a result of statute expirations during first quarter 2020. The Company’s ending net accrual for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020 was zero. As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the Company’s valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets was approximately $6 million. Each reporting period, the Company assesses available positive and negative evidence and estimates if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets.

Trade receivables arise primarily from sales on credit to customers. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses to present the net amount of trade receivables expected to be collected. The allowance is determined using an estimation of loss rates based upon historical experience adjusted for factors that are relevant to determine the expected collectability of trade receivables. Some of these factors include macroeconomic conditions that correlate with historical loss experience, delinquency trends, aging behavior of trade receivables, and credit and liquidity quality indicators for certain industry groups, customer classes, or individual customers.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash paid for interest in the three months ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 was $34 million and $37 million, respectively.

Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, in the three months ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 was approximately zero and $4 million, respectively.

During the three months ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, HDS executed equity cash distributions of $4 million and $14 million, respectively, to Holdings, via HDS’s direct parent, HDS Holding Corporation. The equity distribution from HDS and return of capital recognized by Holdings were eliminated in consolidation of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including HDS.

FICA Payment Deferral

The CARES Act allows employers to defer the payment of the employer share of Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes for the period from March 27, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020.  The deferred amount will be payable as follows:

50% of the deferred amount will be paid December 31, 2021

Remaining 50% of the deferred amount will be paid December 31, 2022

In the three months ended May 3, 2020, the Company deferred FICA payments of $3 million under the CARES Act. The deferred payments are reflected in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferral had no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Share Repurchases

During fiscal 2014, Holdings’ Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to be funded from cash proceeds received from exercises of employee stock options (“April 2014 Plan”). This share repurchase program does not obligate Holdings to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be terminated at any time at Holdings’ discretion. During November 2018 and March 2020, Holdings’ Board of Directors authorized two additional share repurchase programs for up to an aggregate amount of $500 million each of Holdings’ common stock (“November 2018 Plan" and "March 2020 Plan,” respectively). Holdings completed the repurchase of all $500 million of common stock authorized under the November 2018 Plan in January 2020. During first quarter 2020, Holdings chose to not purchase any shares under the March 2020 Plan, instead focusing on enhancing the Company’s liquidity position.

Holdings’ share repurchases under these plans for the three months ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were as follows (dollars in millions):

NOTE 9 — RESTRUCTURING AND SEPARATION ACTIVITIES

On September 24, 2019, the Company announced its intention to separate its Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial businesses into two independent publicly traded companies with the separation expected to be completed by the middle of fiscal 2020. On March 30, 2020, the Company announced that due to materially changing market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the previously announced timeline for the separation of its two businesses had been impacted. The Company remains committed to the separation of the two businesses and the strategic rationale is unchanged. The Company is continuing its preparations for separation when the markets sufficiently recover. During the three months ended May 3, 2020, the Company recognized $6 million in restructuring and separation charges.  These charges were primarily related to professional fees incurred to execute the separation, and to a lesser extent, severance and other employee-related costs. As of May 3, 2020, remaining unpaid costs associated with these activities are immaterial.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

On July 10, 2017 and August 8, 2017, stockholders filed putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, alleging that HD Supply and certain senior members of its management (collectively, the “securities litigation defendants”) made certain false or misleading public statements in violation of the federal securities laws between November 9, 2016 and June 5, 2017, inclusive (the “original securities complaints”).  Subsequently, the two securities cases were consolidated, and, on November 16, 2017, the lead plaintiffs appointed by the Court filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) against the securities litigation defendants on behalf of all persons other than the securities litigation defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between November 9, 2016 and June 5, 2017, inclusive.  The Amended Complaint alleges that the securities litigation defendants made certain false or misleading public statements, primarily relating to the Company’s progress in addressing certain supply chain disruption issues encountered in the Company’s Facilities Maintenance business unit.  The Amended Complaint asserts claims against the securities litigation defendants under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, and seeks class certification under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as unspecified monetary damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and other costs. On September 19, 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part the securities litigation defendants’ motion to dismiss. On January 30, 2020, the parties executed a written stipulation and agreement to settle the litigation for a payment of $50 million, subject to court approval.  On February 21, 2020, the Court approved the settlement on a preliminary basis and scheduled a final approval hearing for July 21, 2020. The full settlement amount is covered under the Company’s insurance policies.  The Company and individual defendants continue to dispute the allegations in the complaints, and the settlement is without any admission of the allegations in the complaints.

On August 8, 2017, two stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, naming the Company as a “nominal defendant” and certain members of its senior management and board of directors as individual defendants.  The complaints generally allege that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial prospects, including misrepresentations regarding operating leverage and supply chain corrective actions.  The complaints assert claims against the individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and allege breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, corporate waste, and insider selling.  The complaints assert a claim to recover any damages sustained by the Company as a result of the individual defendants’ allegedly wrongful actions, seek certain actions by the Company to modify its corporate governance and internal procedures, and seek to recover attorneys’ fees and other costs. On October 22, 2018, upon joint motion of the parties, the Court entered an order conditionally staying the proceedings and administratively closing the matter until after any summary judgment motion filed relating to the Amended Complaint is adjudicated.

On August 29, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court naming the Company as a “nominal defendant” and certain members of its senior management and board of directors as individual defendants.  The complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial prospects, including misrepresentations regarding supply chain corrective actions.  The complaint asserts various common law breach of fiduciary duty claims against the individual defendants and claims of unjust enrichment and insider selling.  The complaint seeks to recover any damages sustained by the Company as a result of the individual defendants’ allegedly wrongful actions, seeks certain actions by the Company to modify its corporate governance and internal procedures, and seeks to recover attorneys’ fees and other costs. The individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on November 2, 2018. On January 14, 2019, upon joint motion of the parties, the Court entered an order conditionally staying the proceedings until after any summary judgment motions filed relating to the Amended Complaint is adjudicated.

The Company intends to defend the derivative lawsuits vigorously.  Given the stage of the complaints and the claims and issues presented, the Company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from these unresolved lawsuits.

In March 2019, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requesting information and documents from calendar years 2016 and 2017 relating to, among other things, the Company’s Facilities Maintenance business unit and the allegations of the Amended Complaint described above. The Company has responded to the subpoena and intends to continue to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation. We cannot currently predict the timing or outcome of this ongoing investigation.

HD Supply is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and similar matters when those matters present loss contingencies that it determines to be both probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies.” In the opinion of management, based on current knowledge, all reasonably estimable and probable matters are believed to be adequately reserved for or covered by insurance and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For all other matters management believes the possibility of losses from such matters is not probable, the potential loss from such matters is not reasonably estimable, or such matters are of such kind or involve such amounts that would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company if disposed of unfavorably. For material matters with loss contingencies that are reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, including matters with loss contingencies that are probable and estimable but for which the amount that is reasonably possible is in excess of the amount that the Company has accrued for, management has estimated the aggregate range of potential loss as $0 to $10 million. If a material loss is probable or reasonably possible, and in either case estimable, the Company has considered it in the analysis and it is included in the discussion set forth above.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

HD Supply’s operating segments are based on management structure and internal reporting. Each segment offers different products and services to the end customer, except for Corporate, which provides general corporate overhead support. The Company determines its reportable segments in accordance with the principles of segment reporting within ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” For purposes of evaluation under these segment reporting principles, the Chief Operating Decision Maker for HD Supply assesses HD Supply’s ongoing performance, based on the periodic review and evaluation of Net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and certain other measures for each of the operating segments.

HD Supply has two reportable segments, each of which is presented below:

Facilities Maintenance—Facilities Maintenance distributes maintenance, repair and operations products, provides value-add services and fabricates custom products to multifamily, hospitality, healthcare and institutional facilities.

Construction & Industrial also offers light remodeling and construction supplies, kitchen and bath cabinets, windows, plumbing materials, electrical equipment and other products, primarily to small remodeling contractors and trade professionals.

In addition to the reportable segments, the Company’s consolidated financial results include Corporate. Corporate incurs costs related to the Company’s centralized support functions, which are comprised of finance, information technology, human resources, legal, supply chain and other support services. All Corporate overhead costs are allocated to the reportable segments. Eliminations include the adjustments necessary to eliminate intercompany transactions.

NOTE 12 — REVENUE

The Company’s revenues are earned from contracts with customers. Contracts include written agreements, as well as arrangements that are implied by customary practices or law.

Nature of Products and Services

Both Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial serve unique end markets. Facilities Maintenance offers products that serve the maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”) end market as well as value-added services. Construction & Industrial offers products used broadly across both the residential and non-residential construction end markets as well as light remodeling supplies for small remodeling contractors and trade professionals. For additional information regarding the nature of products and services offered by the Company’s reportable segments, see “Description of segments” within Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue, net of allowances for returns and discounts and any taxes collected from the customer, when an identified performance obligation is satisfied by the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customer. The Company ships products to customers by internal fleet and third-party carriers. Transfer of control to the customer for products generally occurs at the point of destination (i.e., upon transfer of title and risk of loss of product). Transfer of control to the customer for services occurs when the customer has the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits of the asset that is created or enhanced from the service. The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight as a fulfillment cost. Such costs are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company elected to disaggregate the revenue of Facilities Maintenance by its demand types: MRO and Property Improvement, and Construction & Industrial by its end markets: Non-Residential Construction, Residential Construction, and Other. The Company believes this disaggregation appropriately meets the objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The table below represents disaggregated revenue for Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial with Inter-segment eliminations (amounts in millions):

NOTE 13 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Cloud Computing Arrangements – In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2018-15”). The new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update also provides for additional disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s hosting arrangements that are service contracts. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2018-15 on February 3, 2020 (the first day of fiscal 2020) prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption with no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Financial Instruments – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), amended by ASU No 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The amended guidance modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables. The amended guidance also prescribes additional disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on February 3, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach with no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted  or Applied

Income Taxes – In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during quarters, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes, enacted changes in tax laws, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments in this update should be adopted on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or on a modified retrospective base with a cumulative-effect adjustment through retained earnings. The remaining other amendments should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2019-12.

Reference Rate - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU 2020-04"). The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to the apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying ASU 2020-04.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

HD SUPPLY

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is combined for two registrants: HD Supply Holdings, Inc. and HD Supply, Inc.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference in this discussion and analysis to “Holdings” refers to HD Supply Holdings, Inc., any reference to “HDS” refers to HD Supply, Inc., the indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, and any references to “HD Supply,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Holdings together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including HDS.

HD Supply is one of the largest industrial distributors in North America. We believe we have leading positions in the two distinct market sectors in which we specialize: Maintenance, Repair & Operations (“MRO”) and Specialty Construction. Through approximately 270 branches and 44 distribution centers, in the U.S. and Canada, we serve these markets with an integrated go-to-market strategy. We have more than 11,000 associates delivering localized, customer-tailored products, services and expertise. We serve approximately 500,000 customers, which include contractors, maintenance professionals, industrial businesses, and government entities. Our broad range of end-to-end product lines and services include approximately 600,000 stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) of quality, name-brand and proprietary-brand products as well as value-add services supporting the entire lifecycle of a project from construction to maintenance, repair and operations.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic disruption and has and will likely adversely affect our business. As of the date of this filing, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the magnitude of the impact of the pandemic on our sales, operations, and supply chain and our customers, suppliers, vendors, and business partners.

HD Supply was deemed an essential business in all areas in which we operate. As a result, we continue to service our customers. However, our customers have been impacted by various factors related to the pandemic, including the response of governmental and other regulatory authorities to the pandemic, such as “shelter-in-place,” “stay-at-home” orders, travel restrictions, and restrictions on landlord remedies. These factors resulted in a slowing of our sales to the affected customers. Many of Facilities Maintenance’s hospitality customer locations were closed or operating at a meaningfully diminished capacity, which negatively impacted sales during the last half of the first quarter and may negatively impact sales until the response to the COVID-19 pandemic moderates. Similarly, our Construction & Industrial facilities continue to operate, but we restricted public access to our branches and showrooms, and instead serviced our customers through customer pickup areas in the front of our locations, as well as continued job-site deliveries and direct deliveries.

With respect to liquidity, we are continuously evaluating our cash positions and have taken prudent actions to reduce costs and spending across our organization. This includes reducing hiring activities, adjusting pay programs, negotiating rent payment deferrals at our leased facilities, and limiting discretionary spending. We have also reduced anticipated spending on certain capital investment projects and chose to not repurchase any shares under the March 2020 authorized share repurchase program, instead focusing on enhancing our liquidity position.  In addition, we may choose to access available credit facilities and have capacity to do so. See “Liquidity and capital resources – External Financing” of this Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information.

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, and shareholders.

Description of segments

We operate our Company through two reportable segments: Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial.

Facilities Maintenance.  Facilities Maintenance distributes MRO products, provides value-add services and fabricates custom products. The markets that Facilities Maintenance serves include multifamily, hospitality, healthcare and institutional facilities. Products include electrical and lighting items, plumbing supplies, HVAC products, appliances, janitorial supplies, hardware, kitchen and bath cabinets, window coverings, textiles and guest amenities, healthcare maintenance and water and wastewater treatment products.

Construction & Industrial.  Construction & Industrial distributes concrete accessories and chemicals, specialized hardware, tools, engineered materials and safety products to non-residential and residential contractors. Products include tilt-up brace systems, forming and shoring systems, hand and power tools, cutting tools, rebar, ladders, safety and fall arrest equipment, specialty screws and fasteners, sealants and adhesives, drainage pipe, geo-synthetics, erosion and sediment control equipment and other engineered materials used broadly across all types of non-residential and residential construction. Construction & Industrial also includes Home Improvement Solutions which offers light remodeling and construction supplies, kitchen and bath cabinets, windows, plumbing materials, electrical equipment and other products, primarily to small remodeling contractors and trade professionals.

In addition to the reportable segments, the Company’s consolidated financial results include Corporate. Corporate incurs costs related to the Company’s centralized support functions, which are comprised of finance, information technology, human resources, legal, supply chain and other support services. All Corporate overhead costs are allocated to the reportable segments. Eliminations include the adjustments necessary to eliminate intercompany transactions.

Acquisitions

We enter into strategic acquisitions from time to time to expand into new markets, new platforms, and new geographies in an effort to better service existing customers and attract new ones. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations,” the results of the acquisitions we completed are reflected in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition forward.

Seasonality

In a typical year, our operating results are impacted by seasonality. Historically, sales of our products have been higher in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year due to favorable weather and longer daylight conditions during these periods. Seasonal variations in operating results may also be significantly impacted by inclement weather conditions, such as cold or wet weather, which can delay construction projects.

Fiscal Year

HD Supply’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31.  The fiscal years ending January 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2020”) and February 2, 2020 (“fiscal 2019”) both include 52 weeks. The three months ended May 3, 2020 (“first quarter 2020”) and May 5, 2019 (“first quarter 2019”) both include 13 weeks.

Key business metrics

Net sales

We earn our Net sales primarily from the sale of construction, maintenance, repair and operations, and renovation and improvement-related products and our provision of related services to approximately 500,000 customers, including contractors, government entities, maintenance professionals, home builders and industrial businesses. We recognize sales, net of sales tax and allowances for returns and discounts, when an identified performance obligation is satisfied by transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer. Net sales in certain business units fluctuate with the price of commodities as we seek to minimize the effects of changing commodities prices by passing such increases in the prices of certain commodity-based products to our customers.

We ship products to customers by internal fleet and by third-party carriers. Net sales are recognized from product sales when control of the products and services are passed to the customer, which generally occurs at the point of destination.

We include shipping and handling fees billed to customers in Net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and relieved through Cost of sales as inventories are sold. We account for shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight as a fulfillment cost. Such costs are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Gross profit

Gross profit primarily represents the difference between the product cost from our suppliers (net of earned rebates and discounts), including the cost of inbound freight, and the sale price to our customers. The cost of outbound freight, purchasing, receiving and warehousing are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses within operating expenses. Our Gross profit may not be comparable to those of other companies, as other companies may include all of the costs related to their distribution networks in Cost of sales.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are primarily comprised of Selling, general, and administrative costs, which include payroll expenses (salaries, wages, employee benefits, payroll taxes and bonuses), outbound freight, rent, insurance, utilities, repair and maintenance and professional fees. In addition, operating expenses include depreciation and amortization and restructuring charges.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are not recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income as a measure of operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income because each is a primary measure used by management to evaluate operating performance. In addition, we present Adjusted net income to measure our overall profitability as we believe it is an important measure of our performance. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income enhances our investors’ overall understanding of the financial performance of our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are helpful in highlighting operating trends, because each excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and that can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, age and book depreciation of facilities and capital investments.

Table of Contents

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

HD SUPPLY

Adjusted EBITDA is based on ‘‘Consolidated EBITDA,’’ a measure which is defined in our Senior Credit Facilities and used in calculating financial ratios in several material debt covenants. Borrowings under these facilities are a key source of liquidity and our ability to borrow under these facilities depends upon, among other things, our compliance with such financial ratio covenants. In particular, both facilities contain restrictive covenants that can restrict our activities if we do not maintain financial ratios calculated based on Consolidated EBITDA. Our Senior ABL Facility requires us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 if our specified excess availability (including an amount by which our borrowing base exceeds the outstanding amounts) under the Senior ABL Facility falls below the greater of $100 million and 10% of the lesser of (A) the Borrowing Base and (B) the Total Facility Commitment (both as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) less Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, plus (i) Interest expense and Interest income, net, (ii) Provision for income taxes, (iii) Depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash items and certain other adjustments to Consolidated Net Income, including costs associated with capital structure enhancements permitted in calculating Consolidated EBITDA under our Senior Credit Facilities. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about how the covenants in those agreements operate and about certain non-cash and other items. The Term Loan Facility and Senior ABL Facility permit us to make certain additional adjustments to Consolidated Net Income in calculating Consolidated EBITDA, such as projected net cost savings, which are not reflected in the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We may in the future reflect such permitted adjustments in our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA. These covenants are important to the Company as failure to comply with certain covenants would result in a default under our Senior Credit Facilities. The material covenants in our Senior Credit Facilities are discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2020.

Adjusted net income is defined as Net income less Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, further adjusted for loss on extinguishment of debt and certain non-cash, non-recurring, non-operational, or unusual items, net of tax.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted net income measure when reporting their results. We compensate for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; and
although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Highlights

First quarter 2020 results were negatively impacted by the response of governmental and other regulatory authorities, including “shelter-in-place” and “stay-at-home” orders to the COVID-19 pandemic. While HD Supply was deemed an essential business in all areas in which we operate, the impact to our customers by the various factors related to the pandemic resulted in a slowing of our sales. These economic impacts generally began in mid-March 2020, which is the middle of our first quarter 2020.

Net sales in first quarter 2020 decreased $98 million, or 6.6%, as compared to first quarter 2019. Operating income in first quarter 2020 decreased $49 million, or 28.8%, as compared to first quarter 2019. Net income in first quarter 2020 decreased $35 million, or 32.7%, to $72 million as compared to first quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA in first quarter 2020 decreased $40 million, or 19.7%, as compared to first quarter 2019. Adjusted net income in first quarter 2020 decreased $35 million, or 24.5%, as compared to first quarter 2019. As of May 3, 2020, our total liquidity was $797 million, an increase of $169 million since the end of fiscal 2019. See “Liquidity and capital resources – External Financing” of this Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Net sales

Net sales in first quarter 2020 decreased $98 million, or 6.6%, compared to first quarter 2019.

Both of our reportable segments experienced a decrease in Net sales in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The Net sales decrease in first quarter 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in volume related to the response by governmental and other regulatory authorities to the COVID-19 pandemic. Average year-over-year daily sales changes for the fiscal 2020 months of February, March, and April were an increase of 8.8%, an increase of 0.5%, and a decrease of 22.6%, respectively. There were 20 selling days in February, 20 selling days in March and 25 selling days in April of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased $35 million, or 6.0%, during first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019.

Facilities Maintenance experienced a decline in gross profit while Construction & Industrial experienced a slight increase in gross profit in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019.

Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales (“gross margin”) increased approximately 20 basis points to 39.4% in first quarter 2020 as compared to 39.2% in first quarter 2019. Gross margin increased at both Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $14 million, or 3.4%, during first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $4 million, or 1.0%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019 primarily due to an increase in insurance claims, fixed facility and equipment costs, and charges for expected credit losses, substantially offset by decreases in variable costs including personnel and travel costs. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2 million, or 8.0%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019, primarily driven by investments in facilities and technology during fiscal 2019. Restructuring and separation expenses in first quarter 2020 were primarily due to professional fees incurred to execute the separation of the Company’s planned separation of its Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial businesses, and, to a lesser extent, severance and other employee-related costs. Restructuring and separation expenses in first quarter 2019 included the reversal of $2 million of restructuring and separation expenses incurred in fiscal 2018. The reversal resulted from the favorable termination of the lease associated with the Company’s former corporate headquarters, which was exited in fiscal 2018.

Operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales increased approximately 290 basis points to 30.7% in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales, increased approximately 220 basis points to 28.4% in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The increase was primarily a result of the decline in net sales at both of our reportable segments. Beginning in mid-March 2020, the economic impact of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic was swift and significant. As a result, the reduction in Net sales outpaced our efforts to reduce fixed costs. Restructuring and separation expenses contributed approximately 50 basis points to the period-over-period increase in operating expense as a percentage of Net sales.

Operating income

Operating income decreased $49 million, or 28.8%, during first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease was due to the decline in gross profit as a result of the decrease in Net sales and the increase in operating expenses during first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019.

Operating income as a percentage of Net sales decreased approximately 270 basis points to 8.7% during first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease in first quarter 2020 was primarily due to the increase in operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales, partially offset by the increase in gross margins.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $3 million, or 10.7%, during first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019.  The decrease in first quarter 2020 was primarily due to declining interest rates.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes during the period is calculated by applying an estimated annual tax rate for the full fiscal year to pre-tax income for the reported period plus or minus unusual or infrequent discrete items occurring within the period. The provision for income taxes from continuing operations in first quarter 2020 was $24 million compared to $35 million in first quarter 2019.

HD SUPPLY

The effective rate for continuing operations for first quarter 2020 was 25.0% compared to 24.6% in first quarter 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including modifications to the rules limiting the deductibility of net operating losses (“NOLs”), expensing of qualified improvement property and business interest in Internal Revenue Code Sections 172(a) and 163(j), respectively. The effects of the new legislation are recognized upon enactment. The Company did not recognize any significant impact to income tax expense for first quarter 2020 related to the CARES Act.

We regularly assess the realization of our net deferred tax assets and the need for any valuation allowance.  This assessment requires management to make judgments about the benefits that could be realized from future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors influencing the realization of deferred tax assets. As of May 3, 2020, and February 2, 2020, the Company’s valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets was approximately $6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $40 million, or 19.7%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA during was driven by a $36 million decrease at Facilities Maintenance and a $4 million decrease at Construction & Industrial.

Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales decreased approximately 190 basis points to 11.7% in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease was due to the decline in Net sales and the increase in operating expenses.

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income decreased $35 million, or 24.5%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease in Adjusted net income was attributable to a decline in operating income, partially offset by lower interest expense.

Net Sales

Net sales decreased $90 million, or 11.7%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease in Net sales was primarily due to declines in the hospitality and multifamily industries related to the response by governmental and other regulatory authorities to the COVID-19 pandemic. Facilities Maintenance average year-over-year daily sales changes for the fiscal 2020 months of February, March, and April were an increase of 4.1%, a decrease of 0.4%, and a decrease of 31.9%, respectively.

Table of Contents

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

HD SUPPLY

For Facilities Maintenance, the most prominent impact of the decline in Net sales was in the hospitality industry, which is historically approximately 18% of its sales. The decline in travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the closing of many hotels, with the remaining open hotels experiencing a significant reduction in occupancy. In first quarter 2020, hospitality sales decreased approximately 33% as compared to first quarter 2019.

Many of our multifamily customers limited their purchases to emergency repair and maintenance items in order to preserve cash and to keep maintenance professionals from entering tenant units unnecessarily in an attempt to maintain social distancing. Multifamily customers may also be affected by the steps taken by state and local governments to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenants, including placing moratoriums on evictions and prohibiting late fees for up to three months. Sales to multifamily customers historically account for approximately 60% of Facilities Maintenance’s sales. In first quarter 2020, our multifamily sales decreased approximately 8% as compared to first quarter 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $36 million, or 26.9%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019 primarily due to the reduction in Net sales. Selling, general, and administrative expenses in first quarter 2020 decreased approximately $2 million as compared to first quarter 2019, primarily due to a reduction in variable expenses, including freight costs, variable compensation, overtime pay, and travel expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increased insurance claims, fixed facility and equipment costs, and an approximately $5 million charge for expected credit losses.

Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales decreased approximately 300 basis points in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease was driven by an increase in Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales, partially offset by an increase in gross margin of approximately 20 basis points. The improvement in gross margin resulted from a relatively larger decline in sales within our hospitality and property improvement businesses, which are generally lower margin businesses. We expect gross margin to fluctuate as our customers within different industries recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic at different rates.

Net Sales

Net sales decreased $8 million, or 1.1%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease in Net sales was primarily due to varying state and local government restrictions on construction-related activities to address the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions, which were generally introduced in the middle of March 2020, resulted in an uneven impact on Net sales across the markets we serve. Average year-over-year daily sales changes for the fiscal 2020 months of February, March, and April were an increase of 14.2%, an increase of 1.4%, and a decrease of 13.0%, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4 million, or 5.8%, in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in Net sales and an increase in Selling, general, and administrative expenses. The increase in Selling, general, and administrative expenses included a charge of $3 million for expected credit losses due to uncertainty in customer cash flows, insurance claims, and increased fixed costs related to new branches recently opened. These charges were partially offset by reductions in overtime pay, travel, and other controllable expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales decreased approximately 50 basis points in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019. The decrease was driven by an increase in Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales, partially offset by an increase in gross margin of approximately 70 basis points. The increase in gross margin in first quarter 2020 as compared to first quarter 2019 was primarily due to improved rebar gross margin rates and an increase in safety product sales, which are generally higher gross margin products.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources and uses of cash

Our sources of funds, primarily from operations, cash on-hand, and, to the extent necessary, from readily available external financing arrangements, are sufficient to meet all current obligations on a timely basis. We believe, based on our current business plan, that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet the operating needs of our business for at least the next twelve months. We are continuously evaluating our cash positions and have taken prudent actions to reduce costs and spending across our organization. This includes reducing hiring activities, adjusting pay programs, negotiating rent payment deferrals at our leased facilities, and limiting discretionary spending. We have also reduced anticipated spending on certain capital investment projects. In addition, we chose to not repurchase any shares under the March 2020 authorized share repurchase program, instead focusing on enhancing our liquidity position.

The CARES Act allows employers to defer the payment of the employer share of Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes for the period from March 27, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020.  During first quarter 2020, the Company deferred FICA payments of $3 million under the CARES Act and will continue to defer FICA payments through December 31, 2020. The deferred amount will be payable as follows: (1) 50% of the deferred amount will be paid December 31, 2021 and (2) Remaining 50% of the deferred amount will be paid December 31, 2022.

During first quarter 2020, our cash inflow was primarily driven by cash provided by operations, partially offset by capital expenditures.

As of May 3, 2020, our combined liquidity of approximately $797 million was comprised of $147 million in cash and cash equivalents and $650 million of additional available borrowings (excluding $85 million of borrowings on available cash balances) under our Senior ABL Facility, based on qualifying inventory and receivables. Our May 3, 2020 combined liquidity increased approximately $169 million as compared to our fiscal 2019 year-end combined liquidity of $628 million.

Working capital

Working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, was $777 million as of May 3, 2020, decreasing $45 million as compared to $822 million as of May 5, 2019. The change in working capital was primarily driven by declines in Accounts receivable due to declining sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating activities

During first quarter 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $137 million compared to $128 million in first quarter 2019. Cash interest paid in first quarter 2020 was $34 million, compared to $37 million in first quarter 2019. The increase in operating cash flows excluding interest is primarily attributable to efficiency in the use of working capital.

Investing activities

During first quarter fiscal 2020, cash used by investing activities was $21 million, comprised entirely of capital expenditures.  During first quarter 2019, cash used by investing activities was $24 million, primarily comprised of capital expenditures.

Financing activities

During first quarter 2020, cash used in financing activities was $3 million, primarily due to tax withholdings on stock-based awards of $4 million, purchases of treasury shares of $1 million and net debt repayments of $1 million, partially offset by proceeds from employee stock option exercises of $3 million.

During first quarter 2019, cash used in financing activities was $102 million, primarily due to the payment of the corporate headquarters financing liability of $88 million, purchases of treasury shares of $12 million, tax withholdings on stock-based awards of $5 million, partially offset by proceeds from employee stock option exercises of $4 million.

External financing

As of May 3, 2020, we had an aggregate principal amount of $2,044 million of outstanding indebtedness, net of unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs of $2 million and $17 million, respectively, and $717 million of additional available borrowings under our Senior ABL Facility (after giving effect to the borrowing base limitations and approximately $24 million in letters of credit issued and including $85 million of borrowings available on qualifying cash balances).  From time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may seek to repay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire or refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness. We may make such repurchases in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Critical accounting policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s critical accounting policies have not changed from those reported in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2020, with the exception of the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”) on February 3, 2020 (the first day of fiscal 2020). Pursuant to the implementation of ASU 2016-13, the Company establishes an allowance for credit losses using estimations of loss rates based upon historical loss experience and adjusted for factors that are relevant to determining the expected collectability of trade receivables. These estimations and factors require assumptions and judgments regarding matters that are inherently uncertain, including the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the liquidity, credit, and solvency status of our customers or their industries. For further discussion on the Company’s allowances for credit losses, see “Note 8 – Supplemental Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On July 10, 2017 and August 8, 2017, stockholders filed putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, alleging that HD Supply and certain senior members of its management (collectively, the “securities litigation defendants”) made certain false or misleading public statements in violation of the federal securities laws between November 9, 2016 and June 5, 2017, inclusive (the “original securities complaints”).  Subsequently, the two securities cases were consolidated, and, on November 16, 2017, the lead plaintiffs appointed by the Court filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) against the securities litigation defendants on behalf of all persons other than the securities litigation defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between November 9, 2016 and June 5, 2017, inclusive.  The Amended Complaint alleges that the securities litigation defendants made certain false or misleading public statements, primarily relating to the Company’s progress in addressing certain supply chain disruption issues encountered in the Company’s Facilities Maintenance business unit.  The Amended Complaint asserts claims against the securities litigation defendants under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, and seeks class certification under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as unspecified monetary damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and other costs. On September 19, 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part the securities litigation defendants’ motion to dismiss. On January 30, 2020, the parties executed a written stipulation and agreement to settle the litigation for a payment of $50 million, subject to court approval.  On February 21, 2020, the Court approved the settlement on a preliminary basis and scheduled a final approval hearing for July 21, 2020. The full settlement amount is covered under the Company’s insurance policies.  The Company and individual defendants continue to dispute the allegations in the complaints, and the settlement is without any admission of the allegations in the complaints.

On August 8, 2017, two stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, naming the Company as a “nominal defendant” and certain members of its senior management and board of directors as individual defendants.  The complaints generally allege that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial prospects, including misrepresentations regarding operating leverage and supply chain corrective actions.  The complaints assert claims against the individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and allege breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, corporate waste, and insider selling.  The complaints assert a claim to recover any damages sustained by the Company as a result of the individual defendants’ allegedly wrongful actions, seek certain actions by the Company to modify its corporate governance and internal procedures, and seek to recover attorneys’ fees and other costs. On October 22, 2018, upon joint motion of the parties, the Court entered an order conditionally staying the proceedings and administratively closing the matter until after any summary judgment motion filed relating to the Amended Complaint is adjudicated.

On August 29, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court naming the Company as a “nominal defendant” and certain members of its senior management and board of directors as individual defendants.  The complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial prospects, including misrepresentations regarding supply chain corrective actions.  The complaint asserts various common law breach of fiduciary duty claims against the individual defendants and claims of unjust enrichment and insider selling.  The complaint seeks to recover any damages sustained by the Company as a result of the individual defendants’ allegedly wrongful actions, seeks certain actions by the Company to modify its corporate governance and internal procedures, and seeks to recover attorneys’ fees and other costs. The individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on November 2, 2018. On January 14, 2019, upon joint motion of the parties, the Court entered an order conditionally staying the proceedings until after any summary judgment motions filed relating to the Amended Complaint is adjudicated.

The Company intends to defend the derivative lawsuits vigorously.  Given the stage of the complaints and the claims and issues presented, the Company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from these unresolved lawsuits.

In March 2019, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requesting information and documents from calendar years 2016 and 2017 relating to, among other things, the Company’s Facilities Maintenance business unit and the allegations of the Amended Complaint described above.  The Company has responded to the subpoena and intends to continue to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation.  We cannot currently predict the timing or outcome of this ongoing investigation.

HD SUPPLY

HD Supply is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and similar matters when those matters present loss contingencies that it determines to be both probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies.” In the opinion of management, based on current knowledge, all reasonably estimable and probable matters are believed to be adequately reserved for or covered by insurance and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For all other matters management believes the possibility of losses from such matters is not probable, the potential loss from such matters is not reasonably estimable, or such matters are of such kind or involve such amounts that would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company if disposed of unfavorably. For material matters with loss contingencies that are reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, including matters with loss contingencies that are probable and estimable but for which the amount that is reasonably possible is in excess of the amount that the Company has accrued for, management has estimated the aggregate range of potential loss as $0 to $10 million. If a material loss is probable or reasonably possible, and in either case estimable, the Company has considered it in the analysis and it is included in the discussion set forth above.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We discuss in our filings with the SEC various risks that may materially affect our business. The information presented below supplements the risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2020. Except as set forth below, for additional risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, please refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the first year ended February 2, 2020.

Our results of operations have been and will in the future be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the duration and extent to which it will impact our results of operations remains uncertain.

The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant market volatility and uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operations, financial results and financial condition will depend on numerous evolving factors which are uncertain, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions taken in response; the effect on our customers and customers’ demand for our services and products; the effect on our suppliers and disruptions to the global supply chain; our ability to sell and provide our services and products, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home; disruptions to our operations resulting from the illness of any of our associates, including associates at our branches and distribution centers; restrictions or disruptions to transportation, including reduced availability of ground transport; the ability of our customers to pay for our services and products; and any closures of our and our suppliers’ and customers’ facilities. These effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted and will result in lost or delayed revenue to us. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 on macroeconomic conditions may impact the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, commodity and energy prices, and interest rates. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future.

The materialization of any risks and uncertainties identified in forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q together with those previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2020 and our and HDS’s other filings with the SEC or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, and the development of the industries in which we operate.  See “Forward-looking statements and information” at the beginning of this report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c) Purchases of Equity Securities

On March 12, 2020, Holdings’ Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $500 million of its common stock.  The Company conducts repurchases under the share repurchase program in the open market and through broker-negotiated purchases in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, and subject to market conditions, restrictive covenants contained in existing debt agreements, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. This share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and it may be terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. Under this plan, Holdings did not purchase any shares during first quarter 2020, instead focusing on enhancing the Company’s liquidity position.

Table of Contents

HD SUPPLY

In fiscal 2014, Holdings’ Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to be funded from cash proceeds received from exercises of employee stock options. This share repurchase program does not obligate Holdings to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be terminated at any time at Holdings’ discretion. Under this plan, Holdings repurchased approximately 0.03 million shares at an average price of $34.37 per share during first quarter 2020.

Senior Credit Facilities

Senior ABL Facility

The Senior Asset Based Lending Facility due 2022 (the “Senior ABL Facility”) provides for senior secured revolving loans and letters of credit of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,000 million (subject to availability under a borrowing base). Extensions of credit under the Senior ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments. A portion of the Senior ABL Facility is available for letters of credit and swingline loans. As of May 3, 2020, HDS had $717 million of Excess Availability (as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement) under the Senior ABL Facility (after giving effect to the borrowing base limitations and approximately $24 million in letters of credit issued and including $85 million of borrowings available on qualifying cash balances). As of May 3, 2020, approximately $51 million of the outstanding borrowings on the Senior ABL Facility are denominated in Canadian dollars.

At HDS’s option, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the Senior ABL Facility are based (i) in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, either at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, or Prime Rate (as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement) plus an applicable margin and (ii) in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated loans, either the Bankers’ Acceptance (“BA”) rate plus an applicable margin, or the Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin. The margins applicable for each elected interest rate are subject to a pricing grid, as defined in the agreement governing the Senior ABL Facility, based on average Excess Availability for the previous fiscal quarter. The Senior ABL Facility also contains a letter of credit fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Senior ABL Facility agreement) then in effect for LIBOR Loans and an unused commitment fee subject to a pricing grid, included in the agreement governing the Senior ABL Facility, based on Excess Availability.

The Senior ABL Facility also permits HDS to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to be included in the Senior ABL Facility or one or more revolving credit facility commitments to be included in the Senior ABL Facility.

Senior Term Loan Facility

HDS’s Senior Term Facility (the “Senior Term Facility”) consists of a senior secured term loan facility (the ‘‘Term Loan Facility,’’ and the term loans thereunder, the ‘‘Term Loans’’) providing for Term Loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,070 million (the “Term B-5 Loans”). The Term B-5 Loans will mature on October 17, 2023 and amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans with the balance payable at the maturity date. The Term B-5 Loans bear interest at the applicable margin for borrowings of 1.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 0.75% for base rate borrowings.

For additional information on HDS’s Senior ABL Facility or Senior Term Facility (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”), including guarantees and security, please refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2020.

Unsecured Notes

5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026

HDS issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes”) under an Indenture, dated as of October 11, 2018 (the “October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes Indenture”) among HDS, certain subsidiaries of HDS as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and the Trustee. The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum and will mature on October 15, 2026. Interest is paid semi-annually on April 15th and October 15th of each year.

The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes are unsecured senior indebtedness of HDS and rank equal in right of payment with all of HDS’s existing and future senior indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all of HDS’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and effectively subordinated to all of HDS’s existing and future secured indebtedness, including, without limitation, indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing each indebtedness.

The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by each of HDS’s direct and indirect existing and future subsidiaries that is a wholly owned domestic subsidiary (other than certain excluded subsidiaries), and by each other domestic subsidiary that is a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility or that guarantees HDS’s obligations under any credit facility or capital market securities. These guarantees are subject to release under customary circumstances as stipulated in the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes Indenture.

The October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes and related guarantees have not been, and are not required to be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

Redemption

HDS may redeem the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time (1) prior to October 15, 2021, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the applicable make-whole premium set forth in the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes Indenture and (2) on and after October 15, 2021, at the applicable redemption price set forth below (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the relevant redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 15 of the year set forth below.

In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2021, HDS may redeem on one or more occasions up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 105.375% of the principal amount in respect of the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, provided, however, that if the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemed, an aggregate principal amount of the October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes equal to at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes must remain outstanding immediately after each such redemption of October 2018 Senior Unsecured Notes.

Debt covenants

HDS’s outstanding debt agreements contain various restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and dividend payments and restrictions on the use of proceeds from asset dispositions. As of May 3, 2020, HDS was in compliance with all such covenants that were in effect on such date. Furthermore, while these restrictions may, at times, limit the amount of dividends, distributions or intercompany transfers that HDS or a particular subsidiary guarantor may pay or make, as applicable, the Company believes that, as of May 3, 2020, it had no such limitations.

Nature of Business

HD Supply Holdings, Inc. (‘‘Holdings’’) indirectly owns all of the outstanding common stock of HD Supply, Inc. (“HDS”).

Holdings, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including HDS (“HD Supply” or the “Company”), is one of the largest industrial distribution companies in North America. The Company specializes in two distinct market sectors: Maintenance, Repair & Operations and Specialty Construction. Through approximately 270 branches and 44 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada, the Company serves these markets with an integrated go-to-market strategy. HD Supply has more than 11,000 associates delivering localized, customer-tailored products, services and expertise. The Company serves approximately 500,000 customers, which include contractors, maintenance professionals, industrial businesses, and government entities. HD Supply’s broad range of end-to-end product lines and services includes approximately 600,000 stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) of quality, name-brand and proprietary-brand products as well as value-add services supporting the entire life-cycle of a project from construction to maintenance, repair and operations.

HD Supply is managed primarily on a product line basis and reports results of operations in two reportable segments. The reportable segments are Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include Corporate and Eliminations, which is comprised of enterprise-wide functional departments.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.  Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year.  Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.  For a more complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other information, you should read this report in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2020, which includes all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Fiscal Year

Fiscal Year

HD Supply’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31. The fiscal years ending January 31, 2021 ("fiscal 2020") and February 2, 2020 (“fiscal 2019”) both include 52 weeks. The three months ended May 3, 2020 ("first quarter 2020”) and May 5, 2019 ("first quarter 2019”) both include 13 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Holdings present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including HDS. The consolidated financial statements of HDS present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of HDS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Results of operations of businesses acquired are included from their respective dates of acquisition.

Estimates

Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses in preparing these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Self-Insurance

Self-Insurance

HD Supply has a high-deductible insurance program for most losses related to general liability, product liability, environmental liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation, and is self-insured for certain legal claims and medical claims, while maintaining per employee stop-loss coverage. The expected ultimate cost for claims incurred as of the balance sheet date is not discounted and is recognized as a liability. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical loss development experience. At May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, self-insurance reserves totaled approximately $52 million and $50 million, respectively.

Legal Matters

On July 10, 2017 and August 8, 2017, stockholders filed putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, alleging that HD Supply and certain senior members of its management (collectively, the “securities litigation defendants”) made certain false or misleading public statements in violation of the federal securities laws between November 9, 2016 and June 5, 2017, inclusive (the “original securities complaints”).  Subsequently, the two securities cases were consolidated, and, on November 16, 2017, the lead plaintiffs appointed by the Court filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) against the securities litigation defendants on behalf of all persons other than the securities litigation defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between November 9, 2016 and June 5, 2017, inclusive.  The Amended Complaint alleges that the securities litigation defendants made certain false or misleading public statements, primarily relating to the Company’s progress in addressing certain supply chain disruption issues encountered in the Company’s Facilities Maintenance business unit.  The Amended Complaint asserts claims against the securities litigation defendants under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, and seeks class certification under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as unspecified monetary damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and other costs. On September 19, 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part the securities litigation defendants’ motion to dismiss. On January 30, 2020, the parties executed a written stipulation and agreement to settle the litigation for a payment of $50 million, subject to court approval.  On February 21, 2020, the Court approved the settlement on a preliminary basis and scheduled a final approval hearing for July 21, 2020. The full settlement amount is covered under the Company’s insurance policies.  The Company and individual defendants continue to dispute the allegations in the complaints, and the settlement is without any admission of the allegations in the complaints.

On August 8, 2017, two stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, naming the Company as a “nominal defendant” and certain members of its senior management and board of directors as individual defendants.  The complaints generally allege that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial prospects, including misrepresentations regarding operating leverage and supply chain corrective actions.  The complaints assert claims against the individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and allege breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, corporate waste, and insider selling.  The complaints assert a claim to recover any damages sustained by the Company as a result of the individual defendants’ allegedly wrongful actions, seek certain actions by the Company to modify its corporate governance and internal procedures, and seek to recover attorneys’ fees and other costs. On October 22, 2018, upon joint motion of the parties, the Court entered an order conditionally staying the proceedings and administratively closing the matter until after any summary judgment motion filed relating to the Amended Complaint is adjudicated.

On August 29, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court naming the Company as a “nominal defendant” and certain members of its senior management and board of directors as individual defendants.  The complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial prospects, including misrepresentations regarding supply chain corrective actions.  The complaint asserts various common law breach of fiduciary duty claims against the individual defendants and claims of unjust enrichment and insider selling.  The complaint seeks to recover any damages sustained by the Company as a result of the individual defendants’ allegedly wrongful actions, seeks certain actions by the Company to modify its corporate governance and internal procedures, and seeks to recover attorneys’ fees and other costs. The individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on November 2, 2018. On January 14, 2019, upon joint motion of the parties, the Court entered an order conditionally staying the proceedings until after any summary judgment motions filed relating to the Amended Complaint is adjudicated.

The Company intends to defend the derivative lawsuits vigorously.  Given the stage of the complaints and the claims and issues presented, the Company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from these unresolved lawsuits.

In March 2019, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requesting information and documents from calendar years 2016 and 2017 relating to, among other things, the Company’s Facilities Maintenance business unit and the allegations of the Amended Complaint described above. The Company has responded to the subpoena and intends to continue to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation. We cannot currently predict the timing or outcome of this ongoing investigation.

HD Supply is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and similar matters when those matters present loss contingencies that it determines to be both probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies.” In the opinion of management, based on current knowledge, all reasonably estimable and probable matters are believed to be adequately reserved for or covered by insurance and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For all other matters management believes the possibility of losses from such matters is not probable, the potential loss from such matters is not reasonably estimable, or such matters are of such kind or involve such amounts that would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company if disposed of unfavorably. For material matters with loss contingencies that are reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, including matters with loss contingencies that are probable and estimable but for which the amount that is reasonably possible is in excess of the amount that the Company has accrued for, management has estimated the aggregate range of potential loss as $0 to $10 million. If a material loss is probable or reasonably possible, and in either case estimable, the Company has considered it in the analysis and it is included in the discussion set forth above.

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, the Company’s combined federal, state, and foreign effective tax rate for continuing operations was 25.0% and 24.6%, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate will vary based on a variety of factors, including overall profitability, the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in the jurisdictions where it operates, restructuring and other one-time charges, as well as discrete events, such as audit settlements.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including modifications to the rules limiting the deductibility of net operating losses (“NOLs”), expensing of qualified improvement property and business interest in Internal Revenue Code Sections 172(a) and 163(j), respectively. The effects of the new legislation are recognized upon enactment. The Company did not recognize any significant impact to income tax expense for the three months ended May 3, 2020 related to the CARES Act.

As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with the income taxes principles of GAAP (ASC 740, “Income Taxes”) were $16 million and $17 million, respectively. The decrease of $1 million was a result of statute expirations during first quarter 2020. The Company’s ending net accrual for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020 was zero. As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the Company’s valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets was approximately $6 million. Each reporting period, the Company assesses available positive and negative evidence and estimates if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets.

NOTE 9 — RESTRUCTURING AND SEPARATION ACTIVITIES

On September 24, 2019, the Company announced its intention to separate its Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial businesses into two independent publicly traded companies with the separation expected to be completed by the middle of fiscal 2020. On March 30, 2020, the Company announced that due to materially changing market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the previously announced timeline for the separation of its two businesses had been impacted. The Company remains committed to the separation of the two businesses and the strategic rationale is unchanged. The Company is continuing its preparations for separation when the markets sufficiently recover. During the three months ended May 3, 2020, the Company recognized $6 million in restructuring and separation charges.  These charges were primarily related to professional fees incurred to execute the separation, and to a lesser extent, severance and other employee-related costs. As of May 3, 2020, remaining unpaid costs associated with these activities are immaterial.

NOTE 13 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Cloud Computing Arrangements – In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2018-15”). The new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update also provides for additional disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s hosting arrangements that are service contracts. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2018-15 on February 3, 2020 (the first day of fiscal 2020) prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption with no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Financial Instruments – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), amended by ASU No 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The amended guidance modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables. The amended guidance also prescribes additional disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on February 3, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach with no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted  or Applied

Income Taxes – In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during quarters, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes, enacted changes in tax laws, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments in this update should be adopted on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or on a modified retrospective base with a cumulative-effect adjustment through retained earnings. The remaining other amendments should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2019-12.

Reference Rate - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU 2020-04"). The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to the apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying ASU 2020-04.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

HD Supply Holdings, Inc. (‘‘Holdings’’) indirectly owns all of the outstanding common stock of HD Supply, Inc. (“HDS”).

Holdings, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including HDS (“HD Supply” or the “Company”), is one of the largest industrial distribution companies in North America. The Company specializes in two distinct market sectors: Maintenance, Repair & Operations and Specialty Construction. Through approximately 270 branches and 44 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada, the Company serves these markets with an integrated go-to-market strategy. HD Supply has more than 11,000 associates delivering localized, customer-tailored products, services and expertise. The Company serves approximately 500,000 customers, which include contractors, maintenance professionals, industrial businesses, and government entities. HD Supply’s broad range of end-to-end product lines and services includes approximately 600,000 stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) of quality, name-brand and proprietary-brand products as well as value-add services supporting the entire life-cycle of a project from construction to maintenance, repair and operations.

HD Supply is managed primarily on a product line basis and reports results of operations in two reportable segments. The reportable segments are Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include Corporate and Eliminations, which is comprised of enterprise-wide functional departments.

Basis of Presentation

In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.  Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year.  Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.  For a more complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other information, you should read this report in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2020, which includes all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Fiscal Year

HD Supply’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31. The fiscal years ending January 31, 2021 ("fiscal 2020") and February 2, 2020 (“fiscal 2019”) both include 52 weeks. The three months ended May 3, 2020 ("first quarter 2020”) and May 5, 2019 ("first quarter 2019”) both include 13 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Holdings present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including HDS. The consolidated financial statements of HDS present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of HDS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Results of operations of businesses acquired are included from their respective dates of acquisition.

Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses in preparing these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Self-Insurance

HD Supply has a high-deductible insurance program for most losses related to general liability, product liability, environmental liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation, and is self-insured for certain legal claims and medical claims, while maintaining per employee stop-loss coverage. The expected ultimate cost for claims incurred as of the balance sheet date is not discounted and is recognized as a liability. Self-insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and historical loss development experience. At May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, self-insurance reserves totaled approximately $52 million and $50 million, respectively.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

HD Supply’s operating segments are based on management structure and internal reporting. Each segment offers different products and services to the end customer, except for Corporate, which provides general corporate overhead support. The Company determines its reportable segments in accordance with the principles of segment reporting within ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” For purposes of evaluation under these segment reporting principles, the Chief Operating Decision Maker for HD Supply assesses HD Supply’s ongoing performance, based on the periodic review and evaluation of Net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and certain other measures for each of the operating segments.

HD Supply has two reportable segments, each of which is presented below:

Facilities Maintenance—Facilities Maintenance distributes maintenance, repair and operations products, provides value-add services and fabricates custom products to multifamily, hospitality, healthcare and institutional facilities.

Construction & Industrial—Construction & Industrial distributes specialized hardware, tools, engineered materials and safety products to non-residential and residential contractors. Construction & Industrial also offers light remodeling and construction supplies, kitchen and bath cabinets, windows, plumbing materials, electrical equipment and other products, primarily to small remodeling contractors and trade professionals.

In addition to the reportable segments, the Company’s consolidated financial results include Corporate. Corporate incurs costs related to the Company’s centralized support functions, which are comprised of finance, information technology, human resources, legal, supply chain and other support services. All Corporate overhead costs are allocated to the reportable segments. Eliminations include the adjustments necessary to eliminate intercompany transactions.

NOTE 3 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Hedge Strategy and Accounting Policy

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes. In hedging the exposure to variable cash flows on forecasted transactions, deferral accounting is applied when the derivative reduces the risk of the underlying hedged item effectively as a result of high inverse correlation with the value of the underlying exposure. If a derivative instrument either initially fails or later ceases to meet the criteria for deferral accounting, any subsequent gains or losses are recognized currently in income. Cash flows resulting from derivative financial instruments are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.

Cash Flow Hedge

On October 24, 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $750 million, designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging ,” to hedge the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s variable-rate debt. The interest rate swap agreement swaps a LIBOR rate for a fixed rate of 3.07% and matures on October 17, 2023. The swap effectively converts a portion of the Company’s Term B-5 Loans from a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% to a 4.82% fixed rate.

As of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was a liability of $72 million and $50 million, respectively, which was reflected as $22 million and $12 million in Other current liabilities and $50 million and $38 million in Other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy in "Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements."Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) within Stockholders’ Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.  See “Note 6 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss),” for further information.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value measurements and disclosure principles of GAAP (ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and provide disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.  These principles define a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists.

The Company’s financial instruments that are not reflected at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows as of May 3, 2020 and February 2, 2020 (amounts in millions):

The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value of the long-term debt.  Management’s fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for recent trades of HDS’s long-term debt, recent similar credit facilities initiated by companies with like credit quality in similar industries, quoted prices for similar instruments, and inquiries with certain investment communities.

Trade receivables arise primarily from sales on credit to customers. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses to present the net amount of trade receivables expected to be collected. The allowance is determined using an estimation of loss rates based upon historical experience adjusted for factors that are relevant to determine the expected collectability of trade receivables. Some of these factors include macroeconomic conditions that correlate with historical loss experience, delinquency trends, aging behavior of trade receivables, and credit and liquidity quality indicators for certain industry groups, customer classes, or individual customers.

The equity distribution from HDS and return of capital recognized by Holdings were eliminated in consolidation of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including HDS.

FICA Payment Deferral

The CARES Act allows employers to defer the payment of the employer share of Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes for the period from March 27, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020.  The deferred amount will be payable as follows:

50% of the deferred amount will be paid December 31, 2021

Remaining 50% of the deferred amount will be paid December 31, 2022

In the three months ended May 3, 2020, the Company deferred FICA payments of $3 million under the CARES Act. The deferred payments are reflected in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferral had no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Share Repurchases

During fiscal 2014, Holdings’ Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to be funded from cash proceeds received from exercises of employee stock options (“April 2014 Plan”). This share repurchase program does not obligate Holdings to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be terminated at any time at Holdings’ discretion. During November 2018 and March 2020, Holdings’ Board of Directors authorized two additional share repurchase programs for up to an aggregate amount of $500 million each of Holdings’ common stock (“November 2018 Plan" and "March 2020 Plan,” respectively). Holdings completed the repurchase of all $500 million of common stock authorized under the November 2018 Plan in January 2020. During first quarter 2020, Holdings chose to not purchase any shares under the March 2020 Plan, instead focusing on enhancing the Company’s liquidity position.

Holdings’ share repurchases under these plans for the three months ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were as follows (dollars in millions):

NOTE 12 — REVENUE

The Company’s revenues are earned from contracts with customers. Contracts include written agreements, as well as arrangements that are implied by customary practices or law.

Nature of Products and Services

Both Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial serve unique end markets. Facilities Maintenance offers products that serve the maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”) end market as well as value-added services. Construction & Industrial offers products used broadly across both the residential and non-residential construction end markets as well as light remodeling supplies for small remodeling contractors and trade professionals. For additional information regarding the nature of products and services offered by the Company’s reportable segments, see “Description of segments” within Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue, net of allowances for returns and discounts and any taxes collected from the customer, when an identified performance obligation is satisfied by the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customer. The Company ships products to customers by internal fleet and third-party carriers. Transfer of control to the customer for products generally occurs at the point of destination (i.e., upon transfer of title and risk of loss of product). Transfer of control to the customer for services occurs when the customer has the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits of the asset that is created or enhanced from the service. The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight as a fulfillment cost. Such costs are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company elected to disaggregate the revenue of Facilities Maintenance by its demand types: MRO and Property Improvement, and Construction & Industrial by its end markets: Non-Residential Construction, Residential Construction, and Other. The Company believes this disaggregation appropriately meets the objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The table below represents disaggregated revenue for Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial with Inter-segment eliminations (amounts in millions):
