FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

    Certain written and oral statements made by The Home Depot, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") or with the approval of an authorized executive
officer of the Company may constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases
such as "should result," "are expected to," "we anticipate," "we estimate," "we
project" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's historical
experience and its present expectations or projections. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unanticipated weather conditions;
stability of costs and availability of sourcing channels; the ability to
attract, train and retain highly-qualified associates; conditions affecting the
availability, acquisition, development and ownership of real estate; general
economic conditions; the impact of competition; and regulatory and litigation
matters. Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, since such statements speak only as of the date of
the making of such statements. Additional information concerning these risks and
uncertainties is contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 30, 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------

    Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 24.1% to
$11.112 billion from $8.952 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The
increase was primarily attributable to the opening of 174 new stores (the
company was operating 971 stores at the end of first quarter of fiscal 2000
compared with 797 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1999) and a 7%
comparable store-for-store sales increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

    Gross profit as a percent of sales was 29.5% for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 compared to 28.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase was
primarily due to a lower cost of merchandise resulting from product line reviews
and increased sales of imported products, as well as the expansion of tool
rental centers. In addition, our investments in highly trained and experienced
associates contributed to this margin increase through their emphasis on sales
of complete projects and related products.

    Total operating expenses as a percent of sales were 20.3% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 19.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Selling and store operating expenses as a percent of sales increased to 18.3% in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 17.7% in the same period of fiscal 1999.
The increase was primarily attributable to higher store selling payroll expenses
resulting from an earlier ramp-up of spring season staffing, general market wage
pressures, an increase in longevity and continued investment in customer service
initiatives. Pre-opening expenses as a percent of sales were 0.2% for the first
quarters of both fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999. The Company opened 41 new stores
and relocated one store in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to 37 new
stores and one store relocation in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. General and
administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 1.8% for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to 1.7% for the same period of fiscal 1999. The increase
was related to incremental expenses associated with long-term growth and
strategic initiatives, including Internet development and international
operations, as well as the opening of four new divisional offices during the
second half of fiscal 1999.

                                    9 of 13
<PAGE>
    Net interest income as a percent of sales was 0.1% for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to net interest expense of 0.1% for the comparable period
in fiscal 1999. Interest and investment income as a percent of sales was 0.1%
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 0.0% for the same period in
fiscal 1999. The increase was due to higher investment balances resulting from
the proceeds of $500 million of 6-1/2% Senior Notes issued in the third quarter
of fiscal 1999 and cash flows from operations. Interest expense as a percent to
sales decreased to 0.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 0.1% for the
first quarter of fiscal 1999. The decrease was due primarily to higher
capitalized interest during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as a higher
percentage of owned stores were under construction compared to the same period
in fiscal 1999.

    The Company's combined federal and state effective income tax rate decreased
to 38.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 39.2% for the first quarter
of fiscal 1999. The decrease was attributable to higher state tax credits in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.

    Net earnings as a percent of sales were 5.7% for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 compared to 5.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, reflecting a higher
gross profit rate partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percent of
sales, as described above.

    Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
compared to $0.21 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash flow generated from store operations provides the Company with a
significant source of liquidity. Additionally, a significant portion of the
Company's inventory is financed under vendor credit terms. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company opened 41 stores and relocated one store.
For the remainder of fiscal 2000 the Company plans to open approximately 159 new
stores including two additional Villager's Hardware test stores, and relocate 5
existing Home Depot stores. It is anticipated that approximately 88% of these
locations will be owned, and the remainder will be leased. The Company also
plans to open approximately 240 stores, including relocations, in fiscal 2001.

    The Company has two operating lease agreements totaling $882 million for the
purpose of financing construction costs of certain new stores. Under the
operating lease agreements, the lessor purchases the properties, pays for the
construction costs and subsequently leases the facilities to the Company. The
leases provide for substantial residual value guarantees and include purchase
options at original cost on each property. The Company financed a portion of its
new stores in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, as well as an office building in
fiscal 1999, under the operating lease agreements and anticipates utilizing
these facilities to finance selected new stores and an office building in fiscal
2000. In addition, some stores opening during fiscal 2000 will be leased
individually, and it is expected that many locations may be obtained through the
acquisition of land parcels and construction or purchase of buildings. The cost
of new stores to be constructed and owned by the Company varies widely,
principally due to land costs, and currently averages approximately
$13.2 million per location. The cost to remodel and/or fixture stores to be
leased averages approximately $4.2 million per store. In addition, each new
store requires approximately $3.2 million to finance inventories, net of vendor
financing.

    During fiscal 1999, the Company issued $500 million of 6-1/2% Senior Notes
("Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are due on September 15, 2004, and pay
interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Senior
Notes may be redeemed by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, at a
defined redemption price plus accrued interest. The net proceeds from the
offering were used to finance a portion of the Company's capital expenditure
program, including store expansions and renovations, for working capital needs
and for general corporate purposes.

    The Company has a commercial paper program that allows borrowings up to a
maximum of $800 million. As of April 30, 2000, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the program. In connection with the program, the Company has a
back-up credit facility with a consortium of banks for up

                                    10 of 13
<PAGE>
to $800 million. The credit facility, which expires in September 2004, contains
various restrictive covenants, none of which is expected to impact the Company's
liquidity or capital resources.

    As of April 30, 2000, the Company had $1.21 billion in cash and cash
equivalents. Management believes that its current cash position, the proceeds
from short-term investments, internally generated funds, funds available from
its $800 million commercial paper program and the ability to obtain alternate
sources of financing should enable the Company to complete its capital
expenditure programs, including store openings and renovations, through the next
several fiscal years.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

    Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of
inflation on its operations, it does not believe inflation has had a material
effect on sales or results of operations.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial
instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believes that its exposure
to market risk associated with other financial instruments (such as investments
and borrowings) and interest rate risk is not material.

Employee stock plans represent shares granted under the Company's employee stock
purchase plan and stock option plans, as well as shares issued for deferred
compensation stock plans. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Company's
3-1/4% Notes were included in weighted average shares assuming dilution for
purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share prior to their conversion in
October 1999. To calculate diluted earnings per share for fiscal 1999, net
earnings are adjusted for tax-effected net interest and issue costs on the
3-1/4% Notes (prior to conversion to equity in October 1999) and divided by
weighted average shares assuming dilution.
