NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1—NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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 220 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 approximately 11,000 associates delivering localized, customer-tailored products, services and expertise. The Company serves approximately 500,000 customers, which include contractors, maintenance professionals, home builders, 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: Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include Corporate and Eliminations, which is comprised of enterprise-wide functional departments. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of HD Supply Holdings, Inc. present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of HD Supply Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including HD Supply, Inc. The consolidated financial statements of HD Supply, Inc. present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of HD Supply, Inc. 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. The results of operations of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Fiscal Year HD Supply's fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31. Fiscal year ended January 28, 2018 ("fiscal 2017"), fiscal year ended January 29, 2017 ("fiscal 2016"), and fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 ("fiscal 2015") each included 52 weeks. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents HD Supply considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are evaluated for collectability based on numerous factors, including past transaction history with customers, their credit worthiness, and an assessment of lien and bond rights. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated as a percentage of aged receivables. This estimate is periodically adjusted when management becomes aware of specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in historical collection patterns. Inventories Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all inventories is determined by the moving or weighted average cost method. Inventory value is evaluated at each balance sheet date to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This evaluation includes an analysis of historical physical inventory results, a review of excess and obsolete inventories based on inventory aging, and anticipated future demand. Periodically, perpetual inventory records are adjusted to reflect declines in net realizable value below inventory carrying cost. Consideration Received From Vendors HD Supply enters into agreements with many of its vendors providing for inventory purchase rebates ("vendor rebates") upon achievement of specified volume purchasing levels. Vendor rebates are accrued as part of cost of sales for products sold based on progress towards earning the vendor rebates, taking into consideration cumulative purchases of inventory to date and projected purchases through the end of the year. An estimate of unearned vendor rebates is included in the carrying value of inventory at each period end for vendor rebates recognized on products not yet sold. At January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017, vendor rebates due to HD Supply were $58 million and $50 million, respectively. These receivables are included in Receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives of the assets: Buildings and improvements 5 - 45 years Transportation equipment 5 - 7 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 - 10 years Capitalized Software Costs HD Supply capitalizes certain software costs, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally three years. At January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017, capitalized software costs totaled $27 million and $30 million, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $209 million and $205 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs totaled $24 million, $25 million, and $37 million, in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. HD Supply does not amortize goodwill, but does assess the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit has dropped below its carrying value. The Company determines the fair values of its identified reporting units using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis and a market comparable method, with each method being equally weighted in the calculation. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, as well as relevant comparable company earnings multiples for the market comparable approach. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, or fiscal 2015. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To analyze recoverability, undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining life of the asset are projected. If these projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the fair value of the asset less any costs of disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market and operational performance. Evaluating potential impairment also requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows. 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 medical claims, while maintaining per employee stop loss coverage, and certain legal claims. 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 January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017, self-insurance reserves for continuing operations totaled approximately $51 million and $56 million, respectively. At January 29, 2017, self-insurance reserves classified as discontinued operations totaled approximately $23 million. See "Note 2, Discontinued Operations" for further information on the sale of the Waterworks business. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The Company's long-term financial assets and liabilities are recorded at historical costs. See "Note 6, Fair Value Measurements," for information on the fair value of long-term financial instruments. Revenue Recognition HD Supply recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. HD Supply ships products to customers by internal fleet and third party carriers. Revenues, net of sales tax and allowances for returns and discounts, are recognized from product sales when title to and risk of loss for the products is passed to the customer, which generally occurs at the point of destination. Revenues related to services are recognized in the period the services are performed and totaled $37 million, $25 million, and $24 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs HD Supply includes 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. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $99 million, $97 million, and $86 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. Concentration of Credit Risk The majority of HD Supply's sales are credit sales which are made primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent, in part, upon the economic strength of industries and the areas where they operate. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited by the large number of customers comprising HD Supply's customer base. HD Supply performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. Leases Leases are reviewed for capital or operating classification at their inception under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, "Leases." The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in the assessment of lease classification and assumes the initial lease term includes renewal options that are reasonably assured. HD Supply conducts operations primarily under operating leases. For leases classified as operating leases, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis, over the lease term beginning with the date the Company has access to the property which in some cases is prior to commencement of lease payments. Accordingly, the amount of rental expense recognized in excess of lease payments is recorded as a deferred rent liability and is amortized to rental expense over the remaining term of the lease. Advertising Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred except for the costs of producing and distributing certain direct response sales catalogs, which are capitalized and charged to expense over the life of the related catalog. Advertising expenses were approximately $33 million, $32 million, and $32 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. Capitalized advertising costs related to direct response advertising were not material. Income Taxes The Company provides for federal, state and foreign income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to temporary differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Federal, state and foreign tax benefits are recorded as a reduction of income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company consists of corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships. All income tax expense (benefit) of the Company is recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income with the offset recorded through the Company's current tax accounts, deferred tax accounts, or stockholder's equity account as appropriate. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes Net income adjusted for certain revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net income under GAAP. Adjustments to net income are for foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, primarily Canadian dollars, are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange on the last day of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated at a monthly average exchange rate and equity transactions are translated using either the actual exchange rate on the day of the transaction or a monthly average exchange rate. Stock-Based Compensation The HD Supply Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan, approved by Holdings' stockholders on May 17, 2017, (the "Plan") provides for stock-based awards to employees, consultants and directors, including stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares, performance units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards. The Plan is an amendment and restatement of the HD Supply Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which replaced and succeeded the HDS Investment Holding, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), and, from and after June 26, 2013, no further awards may be made under the Stock Incentive Plan. Both plans are accounted for under ASC 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation," which requires the recognition of share-based compensation costs in the financial statements. The Company includes these costs in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Stock Compensation —In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The new guidance identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the guidance from this amendment on January 30, 2017 (the first day of fiscal 2017) recording a $56 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in order to recognize a deferred tax asset on the excess deduction for stock option exercises over the expense recorded for book purposes. In fiscal 2017, the Company recognized a $16 million benefit in the tax provision reflecting the excess stock-based compensation expense deductible for tax purposes over the amount expensed for book purposes for options exercised. Inventory —In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" ("ASU 2015-11"). The amended guidance requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amended guidance is limited to inventory measured using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost methods and excludes inventory measured using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") or retail inventory methods. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance on January 30, 2017 (the first day of fiscal 2017) with no material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Stock Compensation —In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting" ("ASU 2017-09"). The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Goodwill —In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). The new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Statement of Cash Flows —In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice by adding or clarifying guidance on classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On a prospective basis, the ASU will only impact the Company to the extent it has restricted cash. Income Taxes —In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"). The new guidance is intended to improve the accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory by requiring recognition of income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Statement of Cash Flows —In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice related to certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Leases —In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), amended by ASU 2017-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842)," and ASU 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842)-Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842." The amended guidance requires companies to recognize all leases as assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. It is to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02. Revenue recognition —In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from contracts with customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), amended by ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," ASU 2016-20, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ASU 2017-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842)," and ASU 2017-14, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The amended guidance outlines a single comprehensive revenue model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that "an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services." The update requires significant additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt the guidance. In July 2015, the FASB provided a one-year delay in the effective date of ASU 2014-09, to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and a permission to early adopt for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company plans to adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method. The Company completed its analysis of reviewing customer contracts and applying the five-step model of the new standard to each contract category identified to identify necessary adjustments to existing accounting policies and to quantify the ASU's impact. The Company has concluded that most of its contracts with customers consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or services and therefore will not be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact the Company's method of recognizing certain installation income, which is generally recognized when the customer order is fully installed. ASU 2014-09 requires installation income to be recognized as each performance obligation within a contract is completed. The Company's installation contracts are typically completed in less than 90 days. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's installation business, recognized revenue could shift between quarters within the year. While the Company will provide expanded disclosure requirements, such as disaggregation of revenue, to comply with ASU 2014-09, it does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact on the Company's annual financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this new revenue standard on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018). The Company does not plan to make any adjustments to its financial position upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.

("Home Depot") pursuant to which Home Depot agreed to sell to Holdings, or to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, certain intellectual property and all the outstanding common stock of HDS and the Canadian subsidiary CND Holdings, Inc. On August 30, 2007, through a series of transactions, Holdings' direct wholly-owned subsidiary, HDS Holding Corporation, acquired direct control of HDS through the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, HDS Acquisition Corp., with and into HDS and CND Holdings, Inc. Through these transactions (the "2007 Transactions"), Home Depot was paid cash of $8.2 billion and 12.5% of Holdings' then outstanding common stock. Upon completion of Holdings' secondary public offering in fiscal 2015, Home Depot and the Equity Sponsors sold all of their remaining original investments in Holdings. Purchases —HD Supply purchased product from affiliates of Bain for $8 million in fiscal 2015. Management believes these transactions were conducted at prices that an unrelated third party would pay. Sales —In May 2015, an independent Board member of the Company acquired a minority interest in an HD Supply customer. HD Supply sold product to the customer totaling $3 million, $3 million, and $4 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	NOTE 4—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit is as follows (amounts in millions): As of January 28, 2018 As of January 29, 2017 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Facilities Maintenance $ $ — $ $ $ — $ Construction & Industrial-WhiteCap ) ) Home Improvement Solutions ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total goodwill $ $ ) $ $ $ ) $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. HD Supply does not amortize goodwill, but does assess the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. If an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, an interim impairment test would be performed between annual tests. HD Supply performed the annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 (as of October 29, 2017). There was no indication of impairment in any of the Company's reporting units in the fiscal 2017 annual test or in the fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 annual tests. The Company's analysis was based, in part, on HD Supply's expectation of future market conditions for each of the reporting units, as well as, discount rates that would be used by market participants in an arms-length transaction. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that market conditions have declined to the extent that the Company's goodwill could be impaired. Intangible Assets HD Supply's intangible assets as of January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017 consisted of the following (amounts in millions): As of January 28, 2018 As of January 29, 2017 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Customer relationships $ $ ) $ $ $ ) $ Trade names ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ $ ) $ $ $ ) $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ During fiscal 2017, the Company wrote-off approximately $3 million of gross, fully amortized intangible assets. Amortization expense for continuing operations related to intangible assets was $12 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015. Estimated future amortization expense for continuing operations for intangible assets recorded as of January 28, 2018 is $11 million each year for fiscal years 2018 through 2022.

DEBT
DEBT	NOTE 5—DEBT 2017 Refinancing Transactions On December 28, 2017, HDS reduced its U.S. borrowing capacity under its Senior ABL Facility, as defined below, by $500 million. The total borrowing capacity under the Senior ABL Facility is now $1,000 million (subject to availability under a borrowing base). As a result, the Company incurred a $3 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On September 1, 2017, HDS used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Waterworks business to redeem all of the outstanding $1,250 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Secured First Priority Notes due 2021 (the "December 2014 First Priority Notes") for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $1,325 million. The redemption price included an approximately $62 million make-whole premium calculated in accordance with terms of the indenture governing the December 2014 First Priority Notes ("the 2014 indenture") and $14 million of accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, the 2014 indenture, was satisfied and discharged and the liens securing the December 2014 First Priority Notes were released in accordance with the terms of the 2014 indenture. As a result of the redemption, the Company incurred a $73 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the $62 million make-whole premium and the write-off of $11 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On August 31, 2017, HDS entered into a Fifth Amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the credit agreement governing HDS's existing Term Loan Facility, as defined below. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, HDS amended its existing Term Loan Facility to, among other things, (i) refinance all the outstanding term loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $842 million (the "Term B-1 Loans") with a new tranche of term loans (the "Term B-3 Loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $535 million, (ii) refinance all the outstanding term loans in an original aggregate principal of $550 million (the "Term B-2 Loans") with a new tranche of term loans (the "Term B-4 Loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $546 million, and (iii) amend the definition of "Permitted Payments" contained in the credit agreement to permit an additional category of Permitted Payments permitting Restricted Payments (as defined in the credit agreement) at any time in an aggregate amount not to exceed (x) $500,000,000 and (y) thereafter, upon full use of such capacity set forth in clause (x), an additional amount, if any, such that, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00. The Fifth Amendment also provides for a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans, as defined below, being prepaid if, on or prior to March 2, 2018, the Company enters into certain repricing transactions. In connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company paid approximately $1 million in consent fees and incurred a modification and extinguishment charge of approximately $3 million, which includes financing fees and other costs of approximately $1 million and the write-off of approximately $2 million of a portion of the related unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On August 25, 2017, HDS entered into the Second Supplemental Indenture (the "Second Supplemental Indenture") which amends and supplements the Indenture, dated as of April 11, 2016, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 11, 2016 (together, the "2016 indenture"). Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes consented to the proposed amendments included in the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Second Supplemental Indenture (a) amends the definition of "Permitted Payments" contained in the 2016 indenture to permit an additional category of Permitted Payments permitting Restricted Payments (as defined in the Indenture) at any time in an aggregate amount not to exceed (x) $500,000,000 and (y) thereafter, upon full use of such capacity set forth in clause (x), an additional amount, if any, such that, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00; (b) increase the interest rate for the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes to 7.00% per annum commencing April 15, 2019, to the extent the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes remain outstanding after April 15, 2019; (c) amend the definition of "Net Available Cash" contained in the Indenture to provide that proceeds from the sale of the Waterworks business unit consummated on August 1, 2017 (other than proceeds to be applied to redeem the December 2014 First Priority Notes) shall be excluded and accordingly, the Company will not be required to apply the remaining net proceeds in accordance with the provision of the "Sale of Assets" covenant of the Indenture, and (d) amend the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" contained in the 2016 indenture to provide that while the Company may continue to include in the calculation thereof projected cost savings, it may only do so with respect those realized as a result of actions taken or to be taken in connection with a purchase of assets from, or a sale of assets to, a third party (excluding the Waterworks Sale (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture)). As a result of entering into the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Company paid approximately $15 million in consent fees to holders of the outstanding April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes, which are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the expected life of the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes. Additionally, the Company incurred a modification charge of approximately $3 million for financing fees, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On April 18, 2017, HDS used cash and available borrowings under its Senior ABL Facility to repay $100 million aggregate principal of its Term B-1 Loans. As a result, the Company incurred a $2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which included write-offs of unamortized original issue discount and unamortized deferred financing costs for $1 million each, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On April 5, 2017, HDS entered into a Third Amendment (the "Third Amendment") to the credit agreement governing its existing Senior ABL Facility. The Third Amendment, among other things, reduced the applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility, reduced the applicable commitment fee, and extended the maturity date of the Senior ABL Facility until April 5, 2022. As a result, the Company recorded a $1 million loss on extinguishment of debt, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments," for the write-off of $1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs. HDS's long-term debt as of January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017 consisted of the following (dollars in millions): January 28, 2018 January 29, 2017 Outstanding Interest Outstanding Interest Senior ABL Facility due 2022 $ $ Term B-1 Loans due 2021 — — Term B-2 Loans due 2023 — — Term B-3 Loans due 2021 — — Term B-4 Loans due 2023 — — December 2014 First Priority Notes due 2021 — — April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total gross long-term debt $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Less unamortized discount ) ) Less unamortized deferred financing costs ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total net long-term debt $ $ Less current installments ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total net long-term debt, excluding current installments $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) Represents the stated rate of interest, without including the effect of discounts or premiums. Senior Credit Facilities Asset Based Lending Facility 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 will be 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. As of January 28, 2018, HDS had $909 million of additional available borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility (after giving effect to the borrowing base limitations and approximately $27 million in letters of credit issued and including $235 million of borrowings available on qualifying cash balances). As of January 28, 2018, all outstanding borrowings on the Senior ABL Facility are Canadian borrowings. A portion of the Senior ABL Facility is available for letters of credit and swingline loans. The Senior ABL Facility also includes a sub-facility for loans and letters of credit in Canadian dollars. The Senior ABL Facility also permits HDS to add one or more incremental term loans, revolving or letter of credit facilities to be included in the Senior ABL Facility up to an aggregate maximum amount of $1,400 million for the total commitments under the Senior ABL Facility (including all incremental commitments). 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 plus an applicable margin and (ii) in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated loans, either the banker's 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 Senior ABL Facility agreement, 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 agreement) then in effect for LIBOR Loans and an unused commitment fee subject to a pricing grid, as included in the Senior ABL Facility agreement, based on the Average Daily Used Percentage (as defined in the agreement). The Senior ABL Facility will mature on April 5, 2022, unless the individual applicable lenders agree to extend the maturity of their respective loans under the Senior ABL Facility upon HDS's request and without the consent of any other applicable lender. Prepayments The Senior ABL Facility may be prepaid at HDS's option at any time without premium or penalty and will be subject to mandatory prepayment if the outstanding Senior ABL Facility exceeds either the aggregate commitments with respect thereto or the current borrowing base, in an amount equal to such excess. Mandatory prepayments do not result in a permanent reduction of the lenders' commitments under the Senior ABL Facility. Guarantees; Security The Senior ABL Facility is senior secured indebtedness of HDS and ranks equal in right of payment with all of HDS's existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of HDS's existing and future subordinated indebtedness. HDS, and at HDS's option, certain of HDS's subsidiaries, including HD Supply Canada, Inc., a Canadian subsidiary (the "Canadian Borrower"), are the borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility. Each of HDS's existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law, regulation and contractual provision and subject to certain exceptions (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") guarantees HDS's payment obligations under the Senior ABL Facility (and, in the case of Canadian obligations, each existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law, regulation and contractual provision and subject to certain exceptions (the "Canadian Guarantors") guarantee the Canadian Borrower's payment obligations under the Senior ABL Facility). HDS's obligations under the Senior ABL Facility and the guarantees thereof are secured in favor of the U.S. ABL collateral agent (i) on a first-priority basis by substantially all accounts receivable, inventory and other related assets owned by HDS and each Subsidiary Guarantor and all proceeds thereof, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain exceptions (the "ABL Priority Collateral"), subject to permitted liens, and (ii) (x) all of the capital stock of HDS, all capital stock of all domestic subsidiaries directly owned by HDS and the Subsidiary Guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of any foreign subsidiary held directly by HDS or any Subsidiary Guarantor (with foreign subsidiary holding companies being deemed foreign subsidiaries) and (y) substantially all tangible and intangible assets owned by HDS and each Subsidiary Guarantor, other than the ABL Priority Collateral, and all proceeds thereof, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain exceptions (the "Cash Flow Priority Collateral" and, together with the ABL Priority Collateral, the "Collateral"); in each case, subject to the priority of liens among the Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and the Senior ABL Facility. The Canadian obligations under the Senior ABL Facility are also secured by liens on substantially all assets of the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. Covenants The Senior ABL Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict HDS's ability and, in certain cases, HDS's subsidiaries to make acquisitions, mergers, consolidations, dividends, and to prepay certain indebtedness, in each case to the extent any such transaction would reduce availability under the Senior ABL Facility below a specified amount. In addition, if HDS's specified excess availability (including an amount by which HDS's borrowing base exceeds the existing commitments) 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 (a "Liquidity Event")., HDS will be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.0:1.0, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior ABL Facility. The Senior ABL Facility also contains certain affirmative covenants, including financial and other reporting requirements. HDS is in compliance with all such covenants. 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 $1,081 million. Term B-3 Loans will mature on August 13, 2021 and Term B-4 Loans will mature on October 17, 2023. Both Term B-3 Loans and Term B-4 Loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate principal amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans with the balances payable on their respective maturity dates. Term B-3 Loans bear interest at the applicable margin for borrowings of 2.25% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.25% for base rate borrowings. Term B-4 Loans bear interest at the applicable margin for borrowings of 2.50% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.50% for base rate borrowings. In accordance with the Fifth Amendment, annual excess cash flow ("ECF") provisions are applicable beginning with the fiscal year ending on January 28, 2018 (fiscal 2017) and each fiscal year thereafter. No payment was required to be offered for fiscal 2017, in accordance with the ECF provisions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and in accordance with the annual ECF provisions of the Term Loan Facility prior to the Fourth Amendment to the credit agreement governing its existing Term Loan Facility (the "Fourth Amendment"), the Company offered a prepayment of $34 million based on the ECF calculation for fiscal 2014. The lenders of the Term Loan Facility accepted $16 million, which the Company paid on March 30, 2015. The Term Loan Facility is senior secured indebtedness of HDS and ranks equal in right of payment with all of HDS's existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of HDS's existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The Term Loan Facility is guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, by the Subsidiary Guarantors. These guarantees are subject to release under customary circumstances. The guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor is a senior secured obligation of that Subsidiary Guarantor and ranks equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of that Subsidiary Guarantor and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Collateral The Term Loan Facility and the related guarantees are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of HDS and the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than the ABL Priority Collateral, in which the Term Loan Facility and the related guarantees have a second priority security interest), including pledges of all Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiaries directly owned by HDS and the Subsidiary Guarantors (but only up to 65% of each series of Capital Stock of each direct Foreign Subsidiary owned by HDS or any Subsidiary Guarantor), subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens, and excluding any Excluded Assets (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement")) and Excluded Subsidiary Securities (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) (the "Cash Flow Priority Collateral"), subject to permitted liens. In addition, the Term Loan Facility and the related guarantees are secured by a second-priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, subject to permitted liens. Prepayment The Fifth Amendment provides for a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable term loans being prepaid if, on or prior to March 2, 2018, the Company enters into certain repricing transactions. Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, the Term Loan Facility will be subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to: · 100% of the net proceeds (other than those that are used to purchase certain assets or to repay certain other indebtedness) of certain asset sales and certain insurance recovery events; and · 50% of annual excess cash flow for any fiscal year, such percentage to decrease to 0% depending on the attainment of certain secured leverage ratio targets. Guarantee HDS is the borrower under the Term Loan Facility. The Subsidiary Guarantors guarantee HDS's payment obligations under the Term Loan Facility. HDS's obligations under the Term Loan Facility and the guarantees thereof are secured in favor of the collateral agent by (i) all of the capital stock of HDS, all capital stock of all domestic subsidiaries directly owned by HDS and the Subsidiary Guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of any foreign subsidiary owned directly by HDS or any Subsidiary Guarantors (it being understood that a foreign subsidiary holding company will be deemed a foreign subsidiary) and (ii) substantially all other tangible and intangible assets owned by HDS and each Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain exceptions and subject to the priority of liens between the Term Loan Facility and the Senior ABL Facility. Covenants The Term Loan Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of HDS and its restricted subsidiaries, as described in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, to: incur more indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; make investments; create restrictions on the ability of HDS's restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to HDS or make other intercompany transfers; create liens securing indebtedness; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate; enter into certain transactions with HDS's affiliates; and prepay or amend the terms of certain indebtedness. The Term Loan Facility also contains certain affirmative covenants, including financial and other reporting requirements. HDS is in compliance with all such covenants.

Debt Maturities Maturities of long-term debt outstanding, in principal amounts, at January 28, 2018 are summarized below (amounts in millions): Fiscal Year 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter Total Principal maturities $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 Transactions On January 26, 2017, HDS used cash and available borrowings under its Senior ABL Facility, to repay $200 million aggregate principal of its Term B-1 Loans. As a result, the Company incurred a $5 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes write-offs of $2 million and $3 million of unamortized original issue discount and unamortized deferred financing costs, respectively, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On October 14, 2016, HDS entered into the Fourth Amendment to the credit agreement governing its existing Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, HDS amended its existing Term Loan Facility to, among other things, (i) eliminate its LIBOR floor by means of a replacement tranche that replaced all of the Company's outstanding term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $842 million (the "Term B-1 Loans") and (ii) issue a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $550 million (the "Term B-2 Loans").

The Term B-1 Loans amortized in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the replaced tranche with the balance payable on the maturity date, August 13, 2021. The Term B-2 Loans bore interest at the applicable margin for borrowings of 2.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.75% for base rate borrowings, with no LIBOR floor. The Term Loan Facility allowed for a reduction in the applicable margin on the Term B-2 Loans from 2.75% per annum to 2.50% per annum upon the Company reaching a consolidated total leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 3.0x or less. The Term B-2 Loans amortized in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount and had a maturity date of October 17, 2023. On October 17, 2016, HDS used the proceeds from the Term B-2 Loans, together with available cash and available borrowings under its Senior ABL Facility, to redeem all of the outstanding $1,275 million aggregate principal of its 7.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2020 (the "February 2013 Senior Unsecured Notes"), and pay a $48 million premium in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such notes. As a result, the Company incurred a $59 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the $48 million premium and write-off of $11 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On April 11, 2016, HDS issued $1,000 million of 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the "April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes") at par. HDS received approximately $985 million, net of transaction fees. The transaction fees of $15 million are reflected as deferred financing costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the notes. On April 27, 2016, HDS used the net proceeds from the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes issuance, together with available cash, to redeem all of the outstanding $1,000 million aggregate principal of its 11.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2020 (the "October 2012 Senior Unsecured Notes"), and pay a $106 million make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such notes and pay $4 million of accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. As a result, the Company incurred a $115 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the $106 million make-whole premium and the write-off of $9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On October 13, 2015, HDS used proceeds from the sale of the Power Solutions business unit to redeem all of the outstanding $675 million aggregate principal amount of its 11% Senior Secured Second Priority Notes due 2020 (the "April 2012 Second Priority Notes") and paid a $72 million make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such notes and $37 million of accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. As a result, the Company recorded an $80 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the $72 million make-whole premium and the write-off of $8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments." On August 13, 2015, HDS entered into an incremental amendment (the "Incremental Agreement") to the credit agreement governing its Term Loan Facility, as defined above, pursuant to which HDS requested a borrowing of a new $850 million tranche of senior secured term loans, the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand and available borrowings under HDS's Senior ABL Facility, were used to prepay in full the tranche of senior secured term loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as of the date of the Incremental Agreement. Pursuant to the Incremental Agreement, the Term Loans were set to mature on August 13, 2021 and bore interest at the reduced applicable margin for borrowings of 2.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.75% for base rate borrowings (down from, respectively, 3.00% and 2.00% applicable to the redeemed term loans), with the LIBOR floor remaining at 1.00%. The Term Loans amortized in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of such Term Loans, beginning in December 2015 with the balance payable on such Term Loans' maturity date. In connection with the amendment, the Company recorded a modification and extinguishment charge of $20 million, which includes financing fees of $5 million and $15 million to write off a portion of the related unamortized original issue discount and unamortized deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, "Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments."

INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The changes include, but are not limited to, a federal statutory rate reduction from 35% to 21%, the elimination of U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings. As a result of the Tax Act's effective date for the change in tax rate of January 1, 2018, the Company's federal statutory rate for fiscal 2017 was 33.9%. The Tax Act requires the Company, and other fiscal year taxpayers, to compute a blended statutory tax rate based on the ratio of the number of fiscal year days in calendar year 2017 at the 35% statutory rate versus the number of fiscal year days in calendar year 2018 at the new 21% statutory rate. The Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when these temporary items are expected to be realized or settled. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Act, the Company remeasured its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities and recognized a non-cash $72 million tax expense. The components of Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations before Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes are as follows (amounts in millions): Fiscal Year Ended January 28, January 29, January 31, United States $ $ $ Foreign ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes consisted of the following (amounts in millions): Fiscal Year Ended January 28, January 29, January 31, Current: Federal $ $ ) $ ) State ) Foreign ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ) Deferred: Federal ) State ) ) Foreign — — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ $ $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Company's combined federal, state and foreign effective tax rate for continuing operations for fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015 was approximately 53.6%, 43.6%, and not meaningful since income tax expense (benefit) was significantly impacted by the reversal of substantially all of the valuation allowance and the decrease in the Company's unrecognized tax positions, 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 settlements of future audits. The Company's fiscal 2017 effective rate was impacted by the Tax Act, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, and by the geographical mix of where income was generated. The Company's fiscal 2016 effective rate was impacted by the repatriation of $72 million of cash from Canada to the U.S., which, to the extent of current earnings and profits, and foreign withholding taxes, resulted in $4 million of tax expense and was also impacted by the geographical mix of where income was generated. The Company's fiscal 2015 effective rate was impacted by reversing substantially all of the valuation allowance on its net U.S. deferred income taxes and a decrease in the Company's unrecognized tax position. The reconciliation of the provision (benefit) for income taxes from continuing operations at the federal statutory rate of 33.9% to the actual tax provision (benefit) for fiscal 2017, at the federal statutory rate of 35% to the actual tax provision (benefit) for both fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 is as follows (amounts in millions): Fiscal year Ended January 28, January 29, January 31, Income taxes at federal statutory rate $ $ $ State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit Foreign rate differential ) ) ) Legal entity restructuring — Valuation allowance ) ) Adjustments to tax reserves ) ) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 — — Excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation(1) ) — — Other, net ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total provision (benefit) $ $ $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) The adoption of ASU 2016-09 in fiscal 2017 requires excess tax benefits from share-based awards activity to be reflected as a reduction of the provision for income taxes, whereas they were previously recognized in Stockholders' Equity. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017 were as follows (amounts in millions): January 28, January 29, Deferred Tax Assets: Accrued compensation $ $ Accrued self-insurance liabilities Other accrued liabilities Restructuring liabilities Net operating loss carryforward Fixed assets Allowance for doubtful accounts Inventory Tax credit carryforward Other Valuation allowance ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Noncurrent deferred tax assets Deferred Tax Liabilities: Prepaid expense $ ) $ ) Deferred financing costs ) ) Software costs ) ) Intangible assets ) ) Income from discharge of indebtedness ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Deferred tax assets (liabilities), net $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Tax Act includes a mandatory one-time tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and as a result all previously unremitted earnings for which no U.S. deferred liability has been accrued is now subject to U.S. tax. As a result, the Company recorded a $1 million charge related to the one-time mandatory tax of previously deferred foreign earnings which is payable over an 8-year period. Beginning in fiscal 2017 and prior to the Tax Act, the Company anticipated that all of its Canadian earnings would be permanently reinvested until such time the Canadian borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility, which was initially drawn on during fiscal 2016, are paid off. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 allows companies to record provisional amounts, during a measurement period, in situations where accounting for the Tax Act is incomplete. As a result of the Tax Act, the Company is still evaluating its indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to its Canadian earnings and anticipates completing its analysis during fiscal 2018. In fiscal 2016, the Company repatriated $72 million of cash to the U.S., which, to the extent of current earnings and profits, and foreign withholding taxes resulted in $4 million of tax expense. In fiscal 2015, the Company repatriated $92 million of cash and property to the U.S., which, to the extent of current earnings and profits, resulted in $10 million income tax expense in the U.S. As of January 28, 2018 the Company had tax-effected U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $166 million which expire beginning in fiscal 2033. The Company also had $85 million of tax effected state net operating loss carryforwards which expire in various years between fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2037. The Company also had $30 million of U.S. federal alternative minimum tax credits. As a result of the Tax Act, the federal alternative minimum tax credit is 50% refundable for any tax year beginning after 2017 and before 2021. It becomes 100% refundable for tax years beginning in 2021. The Company also had $4 million of U.S. federal research and development credits which expire between fiscal 2031 and fiscal 2037, and $5 million of tax-effected state tax credits which expire in various years between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2028. At January 31, 2016, the Company's U.S. operations were in a position of cumulative consolidated pre-tax income for the most recent three-year period. Management concluded that as a consequence of the Company's three-year cumulative consolidated pre-tax income, generation of taxable income in fiscal 2014 and 2015, long net operating loss carryforward periods, a significant reduction in recent interest expense, a projected further reduction in future interest expense, and the business plan for fiscal 2016 and beyond showing continued profitability, that it is more likely than not that substantially all of the Company's U.S. deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company reversed substantially all of its valuation allowance on its net U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in a $1,007 million benefit in its provision for income taxes. The benefit from reversing the valuation allowance was partially offset by the utilization of $20 million of such deferred tax assets to offset current year income. In fiscal 2015, after the reversal of the valuation allowance, the Company's remaining valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets was approximately $6 million. In fiscal 2016, the Company reduced its valuation allowance related to its U.S. continuing operations by $1 million as it determined it is "more likely than not" certain deferred income tax assets would be realized. In fiscal 2017, the Company increased its valuation allowance related to its state continuing operations by $1 million as it determined it is "more likely than not" certain deferred income tax assets would not be realized. The future utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards could be limited if the Company experiences an "ownership change," as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In general, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the aggregate direct or indirect ownership of certain persons (or groups of persons) in the Company's stock by more than 50 percentage points over a testing period (generally 3 years). Future direct or indirect changes in the ownership of the Company's common stock, including sales or acquisitions of the Company's common stock by stockholders and purchases and issuances of the Company's common stock by the Company, some of which are not in our control, could result in an ownership change. Any resulting limitation on the use of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards could result in the payment of taxes above the amounts currently anticipated and have a negative effect on the Company's future results of operations and financial position. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-09 at the beginning of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $56 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in order to recognize a deferred tax asset on the excess deduction for stock option exercises over the expense recorded for book purposes. In fiscal 2017, the application of stock-based compensation guidance in ASU 2016-09 resulted in discrete tax benefits of $16 million from the exercise and vesting of stock based awards. For additional information on the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, see "Note 1—Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". Prior to ASU No. 2016-09, deferred tax assets relating to tax benefits of employee stock option grants were reduced to reflect exercises in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015. Some exercises resulted in tax deductions in excess of previously recorded benefits based on the option value at the time of grant ("windfalls"). Although these additional tax benefits, or windfalls, are reflected in the Company's net operating loss carryforwards, pursuant to ASC 718, the additional tax benefit associated with the windfall is not recognized until the deduction reduces taxes payable. Accordingly, since the tax benefit did not reduce the Company's current taxes payable in fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2015 due to net operating loss carryforwards, these windfall tax benefits are not reflected in the Company's net operating losses in deferred tax assets for fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2015. Windfalls included in net operating loss carryforwards but not reflected in deferred tax assets for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 were $56 million and $48 million, respectively. For fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a $240 million net income tax expense related to discontinued operations mainly from the operations and sale of the Waterworks business. For fiscal 2016, the Company recorded an $87 million net income tax expense related to discontinued operations mainly from the operations of its Waterworks business. For fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a $159 million net income tax expense in discontinued operations of which $86 million related to the operations of the Waterworks business and $73 million related to the operations and sale of the Power Solutions business. Federal, state and foreign income taxes net current receivable total $8 million and $7 million as of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, respectively. Accounting for uncertain tax positions The Company follows the GAAP guidance for uncertain tax positions within ASC 740, "Income Taxes." ASC 740 requires application of a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition and de-recognition of tax positions. It further requires that a change in judgment related to prior years' tax positions be recognized in the quarter of such change. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for continuing operations for fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015 is as follows (amounts in millions): Fiscal Year Ended January 28, January 29, January 31, Unrecognized Tax Benefits beginning of period $ $ $ Gross increases for tax positions in current period — Gross increases for tax positions in prior period — Gross decreases for tax positions in prior period — — ) Settlements — — ) Lapse of statutes — — ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unrecognized Tax Benefits end of period $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The resolution of the unrecognized tax benefits could affect the annual effective income tax rate. The Company did not change its accrual for net interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in fiscal 2017 or fiscal 2016. For fiscal 2015, the Company decreased its accrual for net interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits by $29 million. The Company's ending net accrual for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits at fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, was zero for each of the three periods respectively. The Company's accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties as components of income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties from unrecognized tax benefits are included as a component of other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company is subject to audits and examinations of its tax returns by tax authorities in various jurisdictions, including the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Management regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of provisions for income taxes. Certain of the Company's tax years from 2007 and forward remain open for audit by the IRS and various state governments. The decrease in the Company's fiscal 2015 unrecognized U.S. federal and state tax benefits including gross interest accrual was driven by an income tax benefit of approximately $189 million from the settlement of an IRS audit.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	NOTE 8—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Stock-Based Compensation Plans The HD Supply Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan, approved by Holdings' stockholders on May 17, 2017, (the "Plan") provides for stock-based awards to employees, consultants and directors, including stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares, performance units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards. The Plan is an amendment and restatement of the HD Supply Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which replaced and succeeded the HDS Investment Holding, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), and, from and after June 26, 2013, no further awards may be made under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of January 28, 2018, approximately 15.3 million shares (6.9 million of which were registered) were available for issuance under the Plan. The ratio at which awards are counted against the Plan's authorized share pool is 2.30 to 1 for full value awards and 1 to 1 for option awards, and any shares returned to the pool are returned at the same ratio. The HD Supply Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") permits HD Supply's eligible associates to purchase Holdings common stock at a 5% discount on the closing stock price at the end of each offering period. There are two six-month offering periods during a calendar year beginning each January and July. During fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, eligible associates purchased approximately 105,000 shares, 96,000 shares, and 117,000 shares, respectively, under the ESPP. As of January 28, 2018, approximately 1.6 million registered shares were available for issuance under the ESPP. Stock Options Under the terms of the Plan and the Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the "HDS Plans"), non-qualified stock options are to carry exercise prices at, or above, the fair market value of Holdings' stock on the date of the grant. The non-qualified stock options under the HDS Plans generally vest at the rate of 25% per year commencing on the first anniversary date of the grant or 100% on the third anniversary of the grant and expire on the tenth anniversary date of the grant. A summary of option activity under the HDS Plans is presented below (shares in thousands): Number of Weighted Average Outstanding at February 1, 2015 $ Granted — — Exercised ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding at January 31, 2016 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Granted Exercised ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding at January 29, 2017 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Granted Exercised ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding at January 28, 2018 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The total intrinsic value of options exercised was approximately $51 million, $33 million, and $110 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. As of January 28, 2018, there were approximately 2.4 million stock options outstanding with a weighted-average remaining life of 7.0 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $29 million. As of January 28, 2018, there were approximately 0.9 million options exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $17.99, a weighted-average remaining life of 4.6 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $20 million. As of January 28, 2018, there were approximately 2.1 million options vested or expected to ultimately vest with a weighted-average exercise price of $27.57, a weighted-average remaining life of 6.8 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $27 million. The estimated fair value of the options when granted is amortized to expense over the options' vesting or required service period. The fair value for these options was estimated by management, after considering a third-party valuation specialist's assessment, at the date of grant based on the expected life of the option and historical exercise experience, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: Fiscal Year Ended January 28, January 29, January 31, Risk-free interest rate % % — Dividend yield % % — Expected volatility factor % % — Expected option life in years — The risk free interest rate was determined based on an analysis of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon market yields as of the date of the option grant for issues having expiration lives similar to the expected option life. The expected volatility was based on an analysis of the historical volatility of Holdings and HD Supply's competitors over the expected life of the HD Supply options. These competitors' volatilities were adjusted to reflect the leverage of HD Supply. As insufficient data exists to determine the historical life of options issued under the HDS Plans, the expected option life was determined based on the vesting schedule of the options and their contractual life taking into consideration the expected time in which the share price of Holdings would exceed the exercise price of the option. No options were granted during fiscal 2015. The weighted-average fair value of each option granted during fiscal 2017 was $14.30. HD Supply recognized $5 million, $5 million, and $5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. As of January 28, 2018 the unamortized compensation expense related to stock options was $14 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") granted under the Plan are settled by issuing shares of common stock at the vesting date. Generally, the RSAs and RSUs granted to employees vest on a pro rata basis on each of the first four or five anniversaries of the grant, except in the case of death or disability, in which case the RSAs and RSUs vest as of the date of the event. Generally, the RSAs granted to members of the Company's Board of Directors vest on the earliest of the one-year anniversary of the grant date, the next annual meeting after the grant date, or a change in control. The grant date fair value of the RSAs and RSUs is expensed over the vesting period. The shares represented by restricted stock awards are considered outstanding at the grant date, as the recipients are entitled to dividends and voting rights, which are subject to the same restrictions (including the risk of forfeiture) as the restricted stock awards. A summary of RSA and RSU activity under the HDS Plans is presented below (shares in thousands): Number of Weighted Average Non-vested at February 1, 2015 $ Granted Vested ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-vested at January 31, 2016 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Granted Vested ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-vested at January 29, 2017 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Granted Vested ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-vested at January 28, 2018 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The total fair value of RSAs and RSUs vested during the year was $18 million, $16 million, and $13 million for fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. HD Supply recognized $20 million, $15 million, and $11 million of stock-based compensation expense related to RSAs and RSUs during fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. As of January 28, 2018 the unamortized compensation expense related to RSAs and RSUs was $19 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Employee Benefit Plans HD Supply offers a comprehensive Health & Welfare Benefits Program which allows employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements to choose among different levels and types of coverage. The Health & Welfare Benefits program provides employees healthcare coverage in which the employer and employee share costs. In addition, the program offers employees the opportunity to participate in various voluntary coverages, including flexible spending accounts. HD Supply maintains a 401(k) defined contribution plan that is qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees who satisfy the plan's eligibility requirements may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis. HD Supply may match a percentage of the employees' contributions to the plan. A portion of the matching contributions are generally made shortly after the end of each pay period with the remaining portion made after the Company's fiscal year-end if an additional annual matching contribution based on the Company's fiscal-year financial results is approved. HD Supply paid matching contributions of $17 million, $17 million, and $19 million during fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively.

The lease commenced in February 2018. The Company has an option to purchase the facility which expires on April 30, 2018. In accordance with ASC 840, "Leases," for build-to-suit arrangements where the Company is involved in the construction of structural improvements prior to the commencement of the lease or takes some level of construction risk, the Company is considered the owner of the assets and land during the construction period. Accordingly, during construction activities, the Company recorded a Construction in progress asset within Property and equipment and a corresponding financing liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for contributions by the landlord toward construction. Once the construction is completed, if the lease meets certain "sales-leaseback" criteria, the Company will remove the asset and related financial obligation from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and treat the building lease as an operating lease. If upon completion of construction, the lease does not meet the "sales-leaseback" criteria, the leased property will be treated as a capital lease and included in Property and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of January 28, 2018, the Consolidated Balance Sheet includes $86 million of build-to-suit assets in Construction in progress, and the corresponding financial obligation of $86 million in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Other Current Liabilities Other current liabilities as of January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017 consisted of the following (amounts in millions): January 28, January 29, Accrued interest $ $ Accrued non-income taxes Other ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total other current liabilities $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Supplemental Cash Flow Information Cash paid for interest in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015 was approximately $159 million, $296 million, and $397 million, respectively.

Cash paid for income taxes in fiscal 2017 includes $13 million in taxes paid related to the sale of the Waterworks business. During fiscal 2017, HDS executed an equity cash distribution of $541 million 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. On June 3, 2017, Holdings' Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate amount of $500 million of Holdings' common stock. As of January 28, 2018, under this plan, Holdings has completed the repurchase of all $500 million of common stock authorized, purchasing 15,940,337 shares of its common stock.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES	NOTE 11—RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Fiscal 2017 Plan As a result of the sale of the Waterworks business in August 2017, management evaluated the Company's talent alignment and functional support strategies. During fiscal 2017, management initiated a restructuring plan that included reducing workforce personnel, realigning talent, and closing a C&I branch, resulting in the recognition of $6 million of restructuring charges, primarily related to severance and other employee-related costs. In addition to actions already taken, management expects to further realign talent and relocate the Company's headquarters in early 2018. Management expects to incur a total of $10 million to $15 million under this plan, and expects a payback of the employee-related costs via a reduction in personnel costs over the next one to two years. The expected charges include approximately $6 million related to property lease obligations upon exiting the Company's current headquarters location. The Company will actively pursue buyout options or subleasing opportunities for the leased property prior to its lease expiration in October 2020. Payments for the charges incurred in fiscal 2017 are expected to be substantially complete in the next twelve months. As of January 28, 2018, the Company's liability balance for these restructuring activities was $4 million and is included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the activity for the liability balance (amounts in millions): Severance Relocation & Total Balance—January 29, 2017 $ — $ — $ — Charges Cash payments ) ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance—January 28, 2018 $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fiscal 2015 Plan As a result of the sale of the Power Solutions business unit in October 2015, management evaluated the Company's talent alignment and functional support strategies. Consequently, during fiscal 2015, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to strategically align its leadership and functional support teams. During fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, the Company incurred $7 million and $8 million, respectively, of restructuring charges under this plan. The Company completed the activities under the plan in fiscal 2016 and does not expect to incur additional charges. Payments for these charges were substantially complete as of January 28, 2018. As of January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017, the Company's liability balance for these restructuring activities were $1 million and $4 million, respectively and is included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments HD Supply occupies certain facilities and operates certain equipment and vehicles under leases that expire at various dates through the year 2037. In addition to minimum rentals, there are certain executory costs such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance on most of its facility leases. Expense under these leases totaled $127 million, $118 million, and $107 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. Future minimum aggregate rental payments under non-cancelable leases as of January 28, 2018 are as follows (amounts in millions): Fiscal Year 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter Total Operating Leases $ $ Build-to-Suit Lease(i) $ $ (i) Represents the future lease payments for the leadership development and headquarters facility currently under construction in Atlanta, Georgia. See "Note 10, Supplemental Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information" for further information. The Company subleases certain leased facilities to third parties. In addition, the Company leases certain owned facilities to third parties. Total future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable subleases and leases as of January 28, 2018 are approximately $30 million. These subleases and leases expire at various dates through the year 2026. Purchase Obligations As of January 28, 2018, the Company has agreements in place with various vendors to purchase goods and services, primarily inventory, in the aggregate amount of $286 million. These purchase obligations are generally cancelable, but the Company has no intent to cancel. Payment of $281 million is due during fiscal 2018 for these obligations. The Company has IT service contracts that extend through fiscal 2022. Legal Matters On July 10, 2017 and August 8, 2017, shareholders 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 "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 defendants on behalf of all persons other than 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 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 defendants under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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. Defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint in December 2017. That motion is pending. On August 8, 2017, two shareholder derivative complaints were filed naming the Company as a "nominal defendant" and certain members of its senior management and board of directors (collectively, the "individual defendants") as 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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. In October 2017, the Court consolidated the two derivative actions and granted the parties' joint scheduling order request. On December 5, 2017, the Court entered an order staying all activity in the case until a ruling is issued on the motion to dismiss filed in the consolidated securities litigation described above. The Company intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously. Given the stage of the complaints and the claims and issues presented in the above matters, the Company cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from these unresolved lawsuits. 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 financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company if disposed of unfavorably. For material matters that are reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, including matters 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.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION	NOTE 13—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 the 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 ("MRO") 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 and Eliminations." 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, and removes inter-segment transactions. As a result of the sale of the Waterworks business, the Company began sharing resources between centralized support functions and the reportable segments. As a result, and to provide better comparability to the Company's industry peers, beginning in fiscal 2017, all Corporate overhead costs are allocated to the reportable segments. Prior periods presented were revised to reflect the allocation of all the Corporate overhead costs. Interest expense, interest income, other non-operating income and expenses, and provision for income taxes are not allocated to the Company's reportable segments. The Company does not allocate Corporate assets to its reportable segments. Eliminations include the adjustments necessary to eliminate intercompany transactions. See "Note 2—Discontinued Operations" for further information on the sale of the Waterworks business, a previous HD Supply reportable segment. The following tables present Net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and certain other measures for each of the reportable segments and total continuing operations for the periods indicated (amounts in millions): Fiscal Year 2017 Facilities Construction & Corporate & Total Net sales $ $ $ ) $ Adjusted EBITDA — Depreciation(1) & Software Amortization — Other Intangible Amortization — Total Assets(2) Capital Expenditures(2) Fiscal Year 2016 Facilities Construction & Corporate & Total Net sales $ $ $ ) $ Adjusted EBITDA — Depreciation(1) & Software Amortization — Other Intangible Amortization — Total Assets(2) Capital Expenditures(2) Fiscal Year 2015 Facilities Construction & Corporate & Total Net sales $ $ $ ) $ Adjusted EBITDA — Depreciation(1) & Software Amortization — Other Intangible Amortization — Total Assets(2) Capital Expenditures(2) (1) Depreciation includes amounts recorded within Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES
GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES	NOTE 14—GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES As of January 28, 2018, HDS (the "Debt Issuer") had outstanding April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The Subsidiary Guarantors are direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of HDS. The subsidiaries of HDS that do not guarantee the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes ("Non-guarantor Subsidiaries") are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of HDS and primarily include HDS's operations in Canada. The Debt Issuer's payment obligations under the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the guarantors and all guarantees are full and unconditional. These guarantees are subject to release under the circumstances as described below: (i) concurrently with any direct or indirect sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any interest therein in accordance with the terms of the applicable indebtedness by HDS or a restricted subsidiary, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a restricted subsidiary of HDS; (ii) at any time that such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from all of its obligations under all of its guarantees of payment of any indebtedness of HDS or any Subsidiary Guarantor under all other indebtedness and is not a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility; (iii) upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into HDS or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving entity in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to HDS or another Subsidiary Guarantor; (iv) concurrently with any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an unrestricted subsidiary; (v) during the period when the rating on the notes is changed to investment grade and certain covenants cease to apply while such investment grade rating is maintained, upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into another subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor with such other subsidiary being the surviving entity in such merger or consolidation, or upon liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to a subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor; (vi) upon legal or covenant defeasance of HDS's obligations under the applicable indebtedness, or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing the applicable indebtedness; or (vii) subject to customary contingent reinstatement provisions, upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all applicable indebtedness then outstanding and all other obligations guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor then due and owing. In addition, HDS has the right, upon 30 days' notice to the applicable trustee, to cause any Subsidiary Guarantor that has not guaranteed payment of any indebtedness of HDS or any Subsidiary Guarantor under all other indebtedness and is not a borrower under the Senior ABL Facility to be unconditionally released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect. In connection with the issuance of the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes, HDS determined the need for compliance with Rule 3-10 of SEC Regulation S-X. In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, HDS has included the accompanying Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements in accordance with Rule 3-10(f) of SEC Regulation S-X. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a consolidating basis under the equity method of accounting, the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the condensed balance sheets, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the parent company issuer of the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes, HDS, for the Subsidiary Guarantors and for the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries and total consolidated HDS and subsidiaries. Holdings Under the terms of the agreements governing the April 2016 Senior Unsecured Notes issued by HDS, the Term Loan Facility entered into by HDS, and the Senior ABL Facility entered into by HDS and certain of its subsidiaries, HDS and substantially all of its existing and future 100%-owned U.S. subsidiaries are significantly restricted from making dividend payments, loans or advances to Holdings. These restrictions result in substantially all of the net assets of Holdings' 100%-owned U.S. subsidiaries being restricted (as defined in Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X). In lieu of Schedule I, the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the condensed balance sheets, and the condensed statements of cash flows of Holdings are included in the tables below. The condensed parent company financial information of Holdings has been provided in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Holdings and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations, the condensed parent company financial information does not include all of the financial information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The condensed parent company financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies as described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Holdings and subsidiaries included herein, except for the investment in subsidiary. For the purposes of this schedule, Holdings' investment in HDS, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries since the date of acquisition. Holdings' share of net income of its unconsolidated subsidiaries is included in consolidated income using the equity method. Holdings received distributions of $541 million from HDS during fiscal 2017. Holdings did not receive any dividends or distributions from subsidiaries during fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2015.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMAR30

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 28, 2018
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business	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 220 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 approximately 11,000 associates delivering localized, customer-tailored products, services and expertise. The Company serves approximately 500,000 customers, which include contractors, maintenance professionals, home builders, 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: Facilities Maintenance and Construction & Industrial. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include Corporate and Eliminations, which is comprised of enterprise-wide functional departments.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of HD Supply Holdings, Inc. present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of HD Supply Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including HD Supply, Inc. The consolidated financial statements of HD Supply, Inc. present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of HD Supply, Inc. 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. The results of operations of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year HD Supply's fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31. Fiscal year ended January 28, 2018 ("fiscal 2017"), fiscal year ended January 29, 2017 ("fiscal 2016"), and fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 ("fiscal 2015") each included 52 weeks.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents HD Supply considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are evaluated for collectability based on numerous factors, including past transaction history with customers, their credit worthiness, and an assessment of lien and bond rights. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated as a percentage of aged receivables. This estimate is periodically adjusted when management becomes aware of specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in historical collection patterns.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all inventories is determined by the moving or weighted average cost method. Inventory value is evaluated at each balance sheet date to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This evaluation includes an analysis of historical physical inventory results, a review of excess and obsolete inventories based on inventory aging, and anticipated future demand. Periodically, perpetual inventory records are adjusted to reflect declines in net realizable value below inventory carrying cost.
Consideration Received From Vendors	Consideration Received From Vendors HD Supply enters into agreements with many of its vendors providing for inventory purchase rebates ("vendor rebates") upon achievement of specified volume purchasing levels. Vendor rebates are accrued as part of cost of sales for products sold based on progress towards earning the vendor rebates, taking into consideration cumulative purchases of inventory to date and projected purchases through the end of the year. An estimate of unearned vendor rebates is included in the carrying value of inventory at each period end for vendor rebates recognized on products not yet sold. At January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017, vendor rebates due to HD Supply were $58 million and $50 million, respectively. These receivables are included in Receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives of the assets: Buildings and improvements 5 - 45 years Transportation equipment 5 - 7 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 - 10 years
Capitalized Software Costs	Capitalized Software Costs HD Supply capitalizes certain software costs, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally three years. At January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017, capitalized software costs totaled $27 million and $30 million, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $209 million and $205 million, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs totaled $24 million, $25 million, and $37 million, in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. HD Supply does not amortize goodwill, but does assess the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit has dropped below its carrying value. The Company determines the fair values of its identified reporting units using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis and a market comparable method, with each method being equally weighted in the calculation. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, as well as relevant comparable company earnings multiples for the market comparable approach. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, or fiscal 2015.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To analyze recoverability, undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining life of the asset are projected. If these projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the fair value of the asset less any costs of disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market and operational performance. Evaluating potential impairment also requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows.
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 medical claims, while maintaining per employee stop loss coverage, and certain legal claims. 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 January 28, 2018 and January 29, 2017, self-insurance reserves for continuing operations totaled approximately $51 million and $56 million, respectively. At January 29, 2017, self-insurance reserves classified as discontinued operations totaled approximately $23 million. See "Note 2, Discontinued Operations" for further information on the sale of the Waterworks business.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The Company's long-term financial assets and liabilities are recorded at historical costs. See "Note 6, Fair Value Measurements," for information on the fair value of long-term financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition HD Supply recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. HD Supply ships products to customers by internal fleet and third party carriers. Revenues, net of sales tax and allowances for returns and discounts, are recognized from product sales when title to and risk of loss for the products is passed to the customer, which generally occurs at the point of destination. Revenues related to services are recognized in the period the services are performed and totaled $37 million, $25 million, and $24 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs	Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs HD Supply includes 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. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $99 million, $97 million, and $86 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk The majority of HD Supply's sales are credit sales which are made primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent, in part, upon the economic strength of industries and the areas where they operate. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited by the large number of customers comprising HD Supply's customer base. HD Supply performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.
Leases	Leases Leases are reviewed for capital or operating classification at their inception under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, "Leases." The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in the assessment of lease classification and assumes the initial lease term includes renewal options that are reasonably assured. HD Supply conducts operations primarily under operating leases. For leases classified as operating leases, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis, over the lease term beginning with the date the Company has access to the property which in some cases is prior to commencement of lease payments. Accordingly, the amount of rental expense recognized in excess of lease payments is recorded as a deferred rent liability and is amortized to rental expense over the remaining term of the lease.
Advertising	Advertising Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred except for the costs of producing and distributing certain direct response sales catalogs, which are capitalized and charged to expense over the life of the related catalog. Advertising expenses were approximately $33 million, $32 million, and $32 million in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively. Capitalized advertising costs related to direct response advertising were not material.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company provides for federal, state and foreign income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to temporary differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Federal, state and foreign tax benefits are recorded as a reduction of income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company consists of corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships. All income tax expense (benefit) of the Company is recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income with the offset recorded through the Company's current tax accounts, deferred tax accounts, or stockholder's equity account as appropriate.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes Net income adjusted for certain revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net income under GAAP. Adjustments to net income are for foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, primarily Canadian dollars, are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange on the last day of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated at a monthly average exchange rate and equity transactions are translated using either the actual exchange rate on the day of the transaction or a monthly average exchange rate.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The HD Supply Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan, approved by Holdings' stockholders on May 17, 2017, (the "Plan") provides for stock-based awards to employees, consultants and directors, including stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares, performance units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards. The Plan is an amendment and restatement of the HD Supply Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which replaced and succeeded the HDS Investment Holding, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), and, from and after June 26, 2013, no further awards may be made under the Stock Incentive Plan. Both plans are accounted for under ASC 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation," which requires the recognition of share-based compensation costs in the financial statements. The Company includes these costs in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Stock Compensation —In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The new guidance identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the guidance from this amendment on January 30, 2017 (the first day of fiscal 2017) recording a $56 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in order to recognize a deferred tax asset on the excess deduction for stock option exercises over the expense recorded for book purposes. In fiscal 2017, the Company recognized a $16 million benefit in the tax provision reflecting the excess stock-based compensation expense deductible for tax purposes over the amount expensed for book purposes for options exercised. Inventory —In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" ("ASU 2015-11"). The amended guidance requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amended guidance is limited to inventory measured using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost methods and excludes inventory measured using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") or retail inventory methods. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance on January 30, 2017 (the first day of fiscal 2017) with no material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Stock Compensation —In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting" ("ASU 2017-09"). The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Goodwill —In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). The new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Statement of Cash Flows —In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice by adding or clarifying guidance on classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On a prospective basis, the ASU will only impact the Company to the extent it has restricted cash. Income Taxes —In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"). The new guidance is intended to improve the accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory by requiring recognition of income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Statement of Cash Flows —In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice related to certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018) and expects no material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Leases —In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), amended by ASU 2017-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842)," and ASU 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842)-Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842." The amended guidance requires companies to recognize all leases as assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. It is to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02. Revenue recognition —In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from contracts with customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), amended by ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," ASU 2016-20, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ASU 2017-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842)," and ASU 2017-14, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The amended guidance outlines a single comprehensive revenue model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that "an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services." The update requires significant additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt the guidance. In July 2015, the FASB provided a one-year delay in the effective date of ASU 2014-09, to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and a permission to early adopt for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company plans to adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method. The Company completed its analysis of reviewing customer contracts and applying the five-step model of the new standard to each contract category identified to identify necessary adjustments to existing accounting policies and to quantify the ASU's impact. The Company has concluded that most of its contracts with customers consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or services and therefore will not be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact the Company's method of recognizing certain installation income, which is generally recognized when the customer order is fully installed. ASU 2014-09 requires installation income to be recognized as each performance obligation within a contract is completed. The Company's installation contracts are typically completed in less than 90 days. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's installation business, recognized revenue could shift between quarters within the year. While the Company will provide expanded disclosure requirements, such as disaggregation of revenue, to comply with ASU 2014-09, it does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact on the Company's annual financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this new revenue standard on January 29, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2018). The Company does not plan to make any adjustments to its financial position upon adoption of ASU 2014-09.
