Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Conditions
On December 9, 2025, Core & Main, Inc. (“Core & Main” or the "Company") issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the fiscal third quarter ended November 2, 2025. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
On December 9, 2025, Core & Main posted to the “Investor Relations” section of its website the presentation that accompanied the earnings conference call. A copy of the investor presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
The information provided pursuant to this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 is being “furnished” herewith and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by Core & Main under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filings.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 9, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that its board of directors has authorized a $500 million increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization under the program to $1 billion of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) (the “Repurchase Authorization”). As of December 8, 2025, the Company has acquired approximately $316 million of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Authorization, leaving approximately $684 million available for future repurchases.
The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion based on ongoing evaluation of general market conditions, the market price of Core & Main’s Class A Common Stock, the Company’s capital needs and other factors. Under the Repurchase Authorization, share repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market or privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated repurchase transactions, block trades or trading plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Repurchase Authorization does not obligate Core & Main to acquire any particular amount of Class A Common Stock, and it may be further amended, suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. Core & Main currently expects to fund repurchases under the Repurchase Authorization using existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and/or future cash flows.
