Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business, Consolidation and Presentation The Home Depot, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is a home improvement retailer that sells a wide assortment of building materials, home improvement products and lawn and garden products and provides a number of services. The Home Depot stores, which are full-service, warehouse-style stores averaging approximately 104,000 square feet of enclosed space, with approximately 24,000 additional square feet of outside garden area, stock approximately 30,000 to 40,000 different kinds of products that are sold to do-it-yourself customers, do-it-for-me customers and professional customers. The Company also offers a significantly broader product assortment through its websites. At the end of fiscal 2016 , the Company was operating 2,278 The Home Depot stores, which included 1,977 stores in the United States, including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the territories of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam ("U.S."), 182 stores in Canada and 119 stores in Mexico. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31. Fiscal years ended January 29, 2017 ("fiscal 2016 "), January 31, 2016 ("fiscal 2015 ") and February 1, 2015 ("fiscal 2014 ") include 52 weeks. Use of Estimates Management of the Company 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 financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Actual results could differ from these estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Short-Term Debt and Accounts Payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s Long-Term Debt is discussed in Note 11. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents are carried at fair market value and consist primarily of money market funds. Accounts Receivable The Company has agreements with third-party service providers who directly extend credit to customers, manage the Company’s private label credit card program ("PLCC program") and own the related receivables. The Company evaluated the third-party entities holding the receivables under the program and concluded that they should not be consolidated by the Company. The agreement with the primary third-party service provider for the Company’s PLCC program expires in 2028 , with the Company having the option, but no obligation, to purchase the receivables at the end of the agreement. The deferred interest charges incurred by the Company for its deferred financing programs offered to its customers are included in Cost of Sales. The interchange fees charged to the Company for the customers’ use of the cards and any profit sharing with the third-party service providers are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A"). The sum of these three components is referred to by the Company as "the cost of credit" of the PLCC program. In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including Interline Brands, Inc. ("Interline"), extend credit directly to customers in the ordinary course of business. The receivables due from customers were $ 216 million and $ 253 million as of January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 , respectively. The Company’s valuation reserve related to accounts receivable was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of the end of fiscal 2016 or 2015 . Merchandise Inventories The majority of the Company’s Merchandise Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, as determined by the retail inventory method. As the inventory retail value is adjusted regularly to reflect market conditions, the inventory valued using the retail method approximates the lower of cost or market. Certain subsidiaries, including retail operations in Canada and Mexico, distribution centers and Interline, record Merchandise Inventories at the lower of cost or market, as determined by a cost method. These Merchandise Inventories represent approximately 30% of the total Merchandise Inventories balance. The Company evaluates the inventory valued using a cost method at the end of each quarter to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or market. The valuation allowance for Merchandise Inventories valued under a cost method was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of the end of fiscal 2016 or 2015 . Independent physical inventory counts or cycle counts are taken on a regular basis in each store and distribution center to ensure that amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for Merchandise Inventories are properly stated. During the period between physical inventory counts in stores, the Company accrues for estimated losses related to shrink on a store-by-store basis based on recent shrink results and current trends in the business. Shrink (or in the case of excess inventory, "swell") is the difference between the recorded amount of inventory and the physical inventory. Shrink may occur due to theft, loss, inaccurate records for the receipt of inventory or deterioration of goods, among other things. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Company provides for federal, state and foreign income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. 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 recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company and its eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain U.S. subsidiaries, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, are not eligible to be included in the Company’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Separate provisions for income taxes have been determined for these entities. The Company intends to reinvest substantially all of the unremitted earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and postpone their remittance indefinitely. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes on these earnings was recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Depreciation and Amortization The Company’s Buildings, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold Improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the original term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. The Company’s Property and Equipment is depreciated using the following estimated useful lives: Life Buildings 5 – 45 years Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment 2 – 20 years Leasehold Improvements 5 – 45 years Capitalized Software Costs The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is three to six years. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Revenues The Company recognizes revenue, net of estimated returns and sales tax, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. The liability for sales returns is estimated based on historical return levels. When the Company receives payment from customers before the customer has taken possession of the merchandise or the service has been performed, the amount received is recorded as Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets until the sale or service is complete. The Company also records Deferred Revenue for the sale of gift cards and recognizes this revenue upon the redemption of gift cards in Net Sales. Gift card breakage income is recognized based upon historical redemption patterns and represents the balance of gift cards for which the Company believes the likelihood of redemption by the customer is remote. During fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recognized $ 34 million , $ 27 million and $ 32 million , respectively, of gift card breakage income. This income is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a reduction in SG&A. Services Revenue Net Sales include services revenue generated through a variety of installation, home maintenance and professional service programs. In these programs, the customer selects and purchases material for a project, and the Company provides or arranges professional installation. These programs are offered through the Company’s stores and in-home sales programs. Under certain programs, when the Company provides or arranges the installation of a project and the subcontractor provides material as part of the installation, both the material and labor are included in services revenue. The Company recognizes this revenue when the service for the customer is complete. All payments received prior to the completion of services are recorded in Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Services revenue was $ 4.0 billion , $ 4.0 billion and $ 3.8 billion for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to general liability (including product liability), workers’ compensation, employee group medical and automobile claims. The expected ultimate cost for claims incurred as of the balance sheet date is not discounted and is recognized as a liability. The expected ultimate cost of claims is estimated based upon analysis of historical data and actuarial estimates. The Company maintains network security and privacy liability insurance coverage to limit the Company’s exposure to losses such as those that may be caused by a significant compromise or breach of the Company’s data security. This coverage is discussed further in Note 13. Prepaid Advertising Television and radio advertising production costs, along with media placement costs, are expensed when the advertisement first appears. Amounts included in Other Current Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets relating to prepayments of production costs for print and broadcast advertising as well as sponsorship promotions were not material at the end of fiscal 2016 and 2015 . Vendor Allowances Vendor allowances primarily consist of volume rebates that are earned as a result of attaining certain purchase levels and advertising co-op allowances for the promotion of vendors’ products that are typically based on guaranteed minimum amounts with additional amounts being earned for attaining certain purchase levels. These vendor allowances are accrued as earned, with those allowances received as a result of attaining certain purchase levels accrued over the incentive period based on estimates of purchases. Volume rebates and certain advertising co-op allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in Merchandise Inventories and a subsequent reduction in Cost of Sales when the related product is sold. Certain advertising co-op allowances that are reimbursements of specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to promote vendors’ products are recorded as an offset against advertising expense. In fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , gross advertising expense was $ 955 million , $ 868 million and $ 884 million , respectively, and is included in SG&A. Specific, incremental and identifiable advertising co-op allowances were $ 166 million , $ 129 million and $ 125 million for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and are recorded as an offset to advertising expense in SG&A. Cost of Sales Cost of Sales includes the actual cost of merchandise sold and services performed, the cost of transportation of merchandise from vendors to the Company’s stores, locations or customers, shipping and handling costs from the Company’s stores, locations or distribution centers to customers, the operating cost of the Company’s sourcing and distribution network, online fulfillment center costs and the cost of deferred interest programs offered through the Company’s private label credit card programs. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets each quarter for indicators of potential impairment. Indicators of impairment include current period losses combined with a history of losses, management’s decision to relocate or close a store or other location before the end of its previously estimated useful life or when changes in other circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The evaluation for long-lived assets is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is generally the individual store level. The assets of a store with indicators of impairment are evaluated by comparing its undiscounted cash flows with its carrying value. The estimate of cash flows includes management’s assumptions of cash inflows and outflows directly resulting from the use of those assets in operations, including gross margin on Net Sales, payroll and related items, occupancy costs, insurance allocations and other costs to operate a store. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair market value. Impairment losses are recorded as a component of SG&A in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. When a leased location closes, the Company also recognizes in SG&A the net present value of future lease obligations less estimated sublease income. The Company recorded impairments and lease obligation costs on closings and relocations in the ordinary course of business, which were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements in fiscal 2016 , 2015 or 2014 . Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill but does assess the recoverability of goodwill in the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if indicators warrant, by determining whether the fair value of each reporting unit supports its carrying value. Each year the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments, with a quantitative assessment completed at least once every three years. The Company completed a quantitative assessment in fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2016 , the Company completed its annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill for its U.S., Canada and Mexico reporting units. The fair values of these reporting units were estimated using the present value of expected future discounted cash flows, and the fair value exceeded the carrying value for each respective reporting unit. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill for fiscal 2016 , 2015 or 2014 . The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to 12 years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested in the third quarter of each fiscal year for impairment, or more often if indicators warrant. There were no impairment charges related to other intangible assets for fiscal 2016 , 2015 or 2014 . Stock-Based Compensation The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $ 20.26 , $ 18.54 and $ 14.13 , respectively. The fair value of these options was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Fiscal Year Ended January 29, January 31, February 1, Risk-free interest rate 1.4 % 1.4 % 1.7 % Assumed volatility 20.7 % 20.8 % 22.7 % Assumed dividend yield 2.1 % 2.0 % 2.3 % Assumed lives of options 5 years 5 years 5 years Derivatives The Company uses derivative financial instruments from time to time in the management of its interest rate exposure on long-term debt and its exposure on foreign currency fluctuations. The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 815-10, "Derivatives and Hedging". The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is discussed in Note 11. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive Income includes Net Earnings adjusted for certain gains and losses that are excluded from Net Earnings under U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to Net Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss consist primarily of foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange on the last day of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are generally translated using average exchange rates for the period, and equity transactions are translated using the actual rate on the day of the transaction. Segment Information The Company operates within a single reportable segment primarily within North America. Net Sales inside the U.S. were $86.6 billion , $80.5 billion and $74.7 billion for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Net Sales outside the U.S. were $ 8.0 billion , $ 8.0 billion and $ 8.5 billion for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment", which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-04 require that goodwill impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit and the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-04 should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2017-04 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory", which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intercompany transfer of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. An entity will continue to recognize the income tax consequences of an intercompany transfer of inventory when the inventory is sold to a third party. ASU No. 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a modified retrospective approach, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2016-16 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting", which makes several modifications to the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the requirement to recognize the income tax effects of awards that vest or settle as income tax expense. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-09 also clarify the presentation of certain components of share-based awards in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, and does not believe it will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which requires an entity that is a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 also require disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a modified retrospective approach, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating and planning for the adoption and implementation of ASU No. 2016-02. The Company believes that ASU No. 2016-02 will have a material impact on its financial position, as a result of the requirement to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact to the Company’s results of operations is being evaluated, and the Company does not believe there will be a material impact to its cash flows upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU No. 2014-09 requires disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition principles, and it permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, as well as the expected method of adoption. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, the Company has determined that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 could impact the timing of revenue recognition through its services, gift card and various incentive programs. ASU No. 2014-09 will impact the Company’s method of recognizing gift card breakage income, which is currently recognized based upon historical redemption patterns. ASU No. 2014-09 requires gift card breakage income to be recognized in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer when the Company expects to be entitled to breakage. The Company is also evaluating the principal versus agent considerations as it relates to certain arrangements with third parties that could impact the presentation of gross or net revenue reporting. Other areas which could be impacted may be identified as the Company continues its evaluation of ASU No. 2014-09. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 on January 29, 2018 and is evaluating the available transition methods. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior fiscal years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Accelerated Share Repurchase [Abstract]
Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreements	ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS The Company enters into an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreement from time to time with a third-party financial institution to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the ASR agreement, the Company pays a specified amount to the financial institution and receives an initial delivery of shares. This initial delivery of shares represents the minimum number of shares that the Company may receive under the agreement. Upon settlement of the ASR agreement, the financial institution delivers additional shares, with the final number of shares delivered determined with reference to the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock over the term of the agreement, less a negotiated discount. The transactions are accounted for as equity transactions and are included in Treasury Stock when the shares are received, at which time there is an immediate reduction in the weighted average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share. The following table provides the terms for each of the ASR agreements the Company entered into during the last three fiscal years. Each of these agreements followed the structure outlined above (amounts in millions): Agreement Date Settlement Date Amount Initial Shares Delivered Additional Shares Delivered Total Shares Delivered Q1 2014 Q1 2014 $ 950 9.5 2.6 12.1 Q2 2014 Q3 2014 $ 1,750 16.9 4.5 21.4 Q1 2015 Q1 2015 $ 850 7.0 0.5 7.5 Q2 2015 Q3 2015 $ 1,500 12.0 1.3 13.3 Q3 2015 Q4 2015 $ 1,375 10.1 1.3 11.4 Q4 2015 Q4 2015 $ 1,500 9.7 1.7 11.4

The reconciliation of the Provision for Income Taxes at the federal statutory rate of 35% to the actual tax expense for the applicable fiscal years was as follows (amounts in millions): Fiscal Year Ended January 29, January 31, February 1, Income taxes at federal statutory rate $ 4,372 $ 3,857 $ 3,492 State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 309 309 235 Other, net (147 ) (154 ) (96 ) Total $ 4,534 $ 4,012 $ 3,631 The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 were as follows (amounts in millions): January 29, January 31, Assets: Deferred compensation $ 284 $ 269 Accrued self-insurance liabilities 440 433 State income taxes 152 140 Non-deductible reserves 328 315 Net operating losses 33 58 Other 268 267 Total Deferred Tax Assets 1,505 1,482 Valuation Allowance (3 ) (3 ) Total Deferred Tax Assets after Valuation Allowance 1,502 1,479 Liabilities: Inventories (64 ) (129 ) Property and equipment (1,128 ) (1,165 ) Goodwill and other intangibles (368 ) (368 ) Other (147 ) (116 ) Total Deferred Tax Liabilities (1,707 ) (1,778 ) Net Deferred Tax Liabilities $ (205 ) $ (299 ) Noncurrent deferred tax assets and noncurrent deferred tax liabilities are netted by tax jurisdiction, and are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (amounts in millions): January 29, January 31, Other Assets $ 91 $ 80 Deferred Income Taxes (296 ) (379 ) Net Deferred Tax Liabilities $ (205 ) $ (299 ) The Company believes that the realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not, based upon the expectation that it will generate the necessary taxable income in future periods, and except for certain net operating losses discussed below, no valuation reserves have been provided. At January 29, 2017 , the Company had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, expiring at various dates beginning in 2017 to 2036 . Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits related to the federal and state net operating losses will be realized. However, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to utilize certain foreign net operating losses. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been provided to reduce the deferred tax asset related to foreign net operating losses to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Total valuation allowances related to foreign net operating losses at January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 were $3 million and $3 million , respectively. The Company has not provided for deferred income taxes on approximately $4.2 billion of undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because of its intention to indefinitely reinvest these earnings outside the U.S. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable; however, unrecognized foreign income tax credits would be available to reduce a portion of this liability. The Company’s income tax returns are routinely examined by domestic and foreign tax authorities. For fiscal years 2005 through 2009 , a transfer pricing issue remains open pending negotiations between the U.S. and Mexican tax authorities. The Company’s U.S. federal tax returns for fiscal years 2010 through 2012 are currently under examination by the IRS. During fiscal 2016, the IRS issued a proposed adjustment relating to the Company’s transfer pricing between its entities in the U.S. and China for fiscal years 2010 through 2012 . The Company intends to defend its position using all available remedies including bi-lateral relief. There are also ongoing U.S. state and local and other foreign audits covering fiscal years 2005 through 2014 . The Company does not expect the results from any ongoing income tax audit to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Over the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the resolution of federal and state tax examinations could reduce the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits by $175 million . Final settlement of these audit issues may result in payments that are more or less than this amount, but the Company does not anticipate the resolution of these matters will result in a material change to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Reconciliations of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 were as follows (amounts in millions): January 29, January 31, February 1, Unrecognized tax benefits balance at beginning of fiscal year $ 689 $ 765 $ 790 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 147 169 179 Additions for tax positions of prior years 14 126 34 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (161 ) (350 ) (212 ) Reductions due to settlements (16 ) (14 ) (7 ) Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations (14 ) (7 ) (19 ) Unrecognized tax benefits balance at end of fiscal year $ 659 $ 689 $ 765 The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the annual effective income tax rate on Net Earnings was $382 million , $382 million and $318 million as of January 29, 2017 , January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 , respectively. Net adjustments to accruals for interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions resulted in expenses of $20 million , $5 million and $2 million in fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Total accrued interest and penalties as of January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 were $109 million and $89 million , respectively. Interest and penalties are included in Interest Expense and SG&A, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Employee Stock Plans	EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS The Home Depot, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan") and The Home Depot, Inc. 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("1997 Plan" and collectively with the 2005 Plan, the "Plans") provide that incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, performance units and deferred shares may be issued to selected associates, officers and directors of the Company. Under the 2005 Plan, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance is 255 million shares, with any award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right reducing the number of shares available for issuance by 2.11 shares. As of January 29, 2017 , there were 133 million shares available for future grants under the 2005 Plan. No additional equity awards could be issued from the 1997 Plan after the adoption of the 2005 Plan on May 26, 2005. Under the terms of the Plans, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options must have an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. Typically, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options vest at the rate of 25% per year commencing on the first or second anniversary date of the grant and expire on the tenth anniversary date of the grant. Additionally, certain stock options may become non-forfeitable upon the associate reaching age 60, provided the associate has had five years of continuous service. The Company recognized $ 26 million , $ 26 million and $ 23 million of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, related to stock options. Restrictions on the restricted stock issued under the Plans generally lapse according to one of the following schedules: (1) the restrictions on the restricted stock lapse over various periods up to five years, (2) the restrictions on 25% of the restricted stock lapse upon the third and sixth anniversaries of the date of issuance with the remaining 50% of the restricted stock lapsing upon the associate’s attainment of age 62, or (3) the restrictions on 25% of the restricted stock lapse upon the third and sixth anniversaries of the date of issuance with the remaining 50% of the restricted stock lapsing upon the earlier of the associate’s attainment of age 60 or the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The Company has also granted performance shares under the Plans, the payout of which is dependent on the Company’s performance against target average return on invested capital and operating profit over a three-year performance cycle. Additionally, certain awards may become non-forfeitable upon the associate’s attainment of age 60, provided the associate has had five years of continuous service. The fair value of the restricted stock and performance shares is expensed over the period during which the restrictions lapse. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and performance shares of $ 199 million , $ 180 million and $ 168 million in fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. In fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , there were an aggregate of 139 thousand , 152 thousand and 206 thousand deferred shares, respectively, granted under the Plans. For associates, each deferred share entitles the individual to one share of common stock to be received up to five years after the grant date of the deferred shares, subject to certain deferral rights of the associate. Additionally, certain awards may become non-forfeitable upon the associate reaching age 60, provided the associate has had five years of continuous service. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to deferred shares of $ 16 million , $ 15 million and $ 14 million in fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company maintains two Employee Stock Purchase Plans ("ESPPs") (U.S. and non-U.S. plans). The plan for U.S. associates is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The non-U.S. plan is not a Section 423 plan. As of January 29, 2017 , there were 21 million shares available under the plan for U.S associates and 19 million shares available under the non-U.S. plan. The purchase price of shares under the ESPPs is equal to 85% of the stock’s fair market value on the last day of the purchase period, which is a six-month period ending on December 31 and June 30 of each year. During fiscal 2016 , there were 1 million shares purchased under the ESPPs at an average price of $ 111.14 . Under the outstanding ESPPs as of January 29, 2017 , employees have contributed $ 15 million to purchase shares at 85% of the stock’s fair market value on the last day ( June 30, 2017 ) of the current purchase period. The Company recognized $ 26 million , $ 23 million and $ 20 million of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, related to the ESPPs. In total, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense, including the expense of stock options, restricted stock, performance shares, deferred shares and ESPP shares, of $ 267 million , $ 244 million and $ 225 million , in fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

As of January 29, 2017 , there were approximately 9 million stock options outstanding with a weighted average remaining life of six years and an intrinsic value of $ 590 million . As of January 29, 2017 , there were approximately 4 million stock options exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $ 43.68 , a weighted average remaining life of four years, and an intrinsic value of $ 407 million . As of January 29, 2017 , there were approximately 7 million stock options vested or expected to ultimately vest. As of January 29, 2017 , there was $ 30 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. The following table summarizes restricted stock and performance shares outstanding at January 29, 2017 and changes during fiscal 2016 (shares in thousands): Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding at January 31, 2016 6,687 $ 80.90 Granted 1,942 126.91 Restrictions lapsed (2,727 ) 65.56 Canceled (450 ) 99.81 Outstanding at January 29, 2017 5,452 $ 103.41 As of January 29, 2017 , there was $ 327 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and performance shares, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. The total fair value of restricted stock and performance shares vesting during fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $ 354 million , $ 382 million and $ 334 million , respectively.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company maintains active defined contribution retirement plans for its employees (the "Benefit Plans"). All associates satisfying certain service requirements are eligible to participate in the Benefit Plans. The Company makes cash contributions each payroll period up to specified percentages of associates’ contributions as approved by the Board of Directors. The Company also maintains a restoration plan to provide certain associates deferred compensation that they would have received under the Benefit Plans as a matching contribution if not for the maximum compensation limits under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company funds the restoration plan through contributions made to a grantor trust, which are then used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. The Company’s contributions to the Benefit Plans and the restoration plan were $ 195 million , $ 186 million and $ 182 million for fiscal 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. At January 29, 2017 , the Benefit Plans and the restoration plan held a total of 8 million shares of the Company’s common stock in trust for plan participants.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Interline Acquisition	INTERLINE ACQUISITION On August 24, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Interline, which established a platform in the maintenance, repair and operations ("MRO") market. The aggregate purchase price of this acquisition was $1.7 billion . A portion of the purchase price was used for the repayment of substantially all of Interline’s existing indebtedness. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 805 "Business Combinations" and, accordingly, Interline’s results of operations have been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements since the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not material. Pro forma results of operations would not be materially different as a result of the acquisition and therefore are not presented. The Company finalized its purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Interline (amounts in millions): Fair Value Cash $ 6 Receivables 262 Inventories 325 Property and Equipment 56 Intangible Assets 563 Goodwill 788 Other Assets 49 Total Assets Acquired 2,049 Current Liabilities 199 Other Liabilities 178 Total Liabilities Assumed 377 Net Assets Acquired $ 1,672 The intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships of $310 million , with a weighted average useful life of 12 years, and tradenames of $253 million , with an indefinite life, which are included in Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Goodwill of $788 million represents future economic benefits expected to arise from the Company’s expanded presence in the MRO market and expected revenue and purchasing synergies. Both the intangible assets and Goodwill acquired are not deductible for income tax purposes.

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]
Investment In HD Supply Holdings, Inc.	INVESTMENT IN HD SUPPLY HOLDINGS, INC. At the end of fiscal 2013, the Company owned 16.3 million shares of HD Supply Holdings, Inc. ("HD Supply") common stock, which represented approximately 8% of the shares of HD Supply common stock outstanding. This investment was accounted for using the cost method, as there were significant restrictions in place on the Company’s ability to sell or transfer its HD Supply shares. The restrictions were controlled by the three largest shareholders of HD Supply (the "Principal Shareholders") for so long as they continued to own a certain portion of their original holdings of HD Supply. The carrying value of the HD Supply shares was impaired by the Company to a zero cost basis in fiscal 2009. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Principal Shareholders elected to sell shares of HD Supply common stock in a secondary public offering (the "May 2014 Offering"). Under the terms of a registration rights agreement among the Company, HD Supply and the Principal Shareholders (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), the Company had the right to include a portion of its shares in the May 2014 Offering and elected to do so. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2014, two of the Principal Shareholders again elected to sell shares of HD Supply common stock in secondary public offerings, and the Company again exercised its rights under the Registration Rights Agreement to include a portion of its shares in these offerings. As a result of all of these offerings (including an overallotment option exercised during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 by the underwriters of the May 2014 Offering), the Company sold 12.2 million shares of HD Supply common stock in fiscal 2014, for which it received $ 323 million of proceeds and recognized a corresponding gain in fiscal 2014. The total pretax gain of $ 323 million is included in Interest and Investment Income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings for fiscal 2014. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the remaining Principal Shareholder elected to sell shares of HD Supply common stock in a secondary public offering, and the Company again exercised its rights under the Registration Rights Agreement to include its shares in this offering. As a result, the Company sold its remaining 4.1 million shares of HD Supply common stock in fiscal 2015, for which it received $ 144 million of proceeds and recognized a corresponding gain in fiscal 2015. The total pretax gain of $ 144 million is included in Interest and Investment Income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings for fiscal 2015.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The fair value of an asset is considered to be the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated knowledgeable and willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, rather than the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: • Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The assets and liabilities of the Company that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 were as follows (amounts in millions): Fair Value at January 29, 2017 Using Fair Value at January 31, 2016 Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative agreements - assets $ — $ 271 $ — $ — $ 213 $ — Derivative agreements - liabilities — — — — (82 ) — Total $ — $ 271 $ — $ — $ 131 $ — The Company uses derivative financial instruments from time to time in the management of its interest rate exposure on long-term debt and its exposure on foreign currency fluctuations. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments was measured using level 2 inputs. The Company’s derivative agreements are discussed further in Note 4. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets were analyzed for impairment on a nonrecurring basis using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (level 3). Impairment charges related to long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets in fiscal 2016 and 2015 were not material, as further discussed in Note 1 under the captions "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", respectively. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Interline, which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, were measured using unobservable inputs (level 3). See Note 9 for further discussion of the Interline acquisition. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s senior notes, based on quoted market prices, was $ 23.6 billion and $ 21.8 billion at January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 , respectively, compared to a carrying value of $ 22.0 billion and $ 20.1 billion at January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 , respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES At January 29, 2017 , the Company was contingently liable for approximately $473 million under outstanding letters of credit and open accounts issued for certain business transactions, including insurance programs, trade contracts and construction contracts. The Company’s letters of credit are primarily performance-based and are not based on changes in variable components, a liability or an equity security of the other party. In addition to the Data Breach described below, the Company is involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Data Breach As previously reported, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company confirmed that its payment data systems were breached, which potentially impacted customers who used payment cards at self-checkout systems in the Company’s U.S. and Canadian stores (the "Data Breach"). The Data Breach resulted in a number of claims against the Company, the majority of which have been finally or preliminarily resolved, as follows. Payment Card Networks. The four major payment card networks made claims against the Company for costs that they assert they or their issuing banks incurred in connection with the Data Breach. The Company entered into settlement agreements with all four networks in fiscal 2015. Customer Class Actions . A number of putative class actions were filed in the U.S. and Canada on behalf of customers allegedly harmed by the Data Breach. In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the respective courts approved settlement agreements that resolved and dismissed all of these claims. Financial Institution Class Actions . A number of putative class actions were filed in the U.S. on behalf of financial institutions allegedly harmed by the Data Breach. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company agreed to settlement terms that, upon approval of the court, will resolve and dismiss the claims asserted in those actions. The Company previously recorded accruals for estimated probable losses in connection with the matters described above. While the Company’s estimates may change as new information becomes available, it does not believe any adjustments to the accruals will be material. Pending Matters. Two purported shareholder derivative actions, which were consolidated into a single complaint, were filed against the Company, as a nominal defendant, and certain present and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and executive officers. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The shareholders appealed the dismissal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition, a group of State Attorneys General is investigating events related to the Data Breach, including how it occurred, its consequences and the Company’s responses. The Company is cooperating in this investigation. While losses from these pending matters are reasonably possible, the Company is not able to estimate the costs, or range of costs, related to these matters. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for losses at the time or times when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that the ultimate amount paid on these pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in future periods. Expenses Incurred and Amounts Accrued In fiscal 2016, the Company recorded $37 million of pretax expenses related to the Data Breach. The Company did not record any related expected insurance proceeds in fiscal 2016. Since the Data Breach occurred, the Company has recorded $298 million of pretax gross expenses related to the Data Breach, partially offset by $100 million of expected insurance proceeds, for pretax net expenses of $198 million . These expenses include costs to investigate and respond to the Data Breach and pay legal and other professional services, all of which were expensed as incurred. Expenses also include the accruals for estimated probable losses that the Company has incurred or expects to incur in connection with the Data Breach as of the end of fiscal 2016. These expenses are included in SG&A expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. At January 29, 2017 , accrued liabilities and insurance receivable related to the Data Breach consisted of the following (amounts in millions): Accrued Liabilities Insurance Receivable (Expenses incurred) insurance receivable recorded in fiscal 2014 $ (63 ) $ 30 Payments made (received) in fiscal 2014 51 (10 ) Balance at February 1, 2015 (12 ) 20 (Expenses incurred) insurance receivable recorded in fiscal 2015 (198 ) 70 Payments made (received) in fiscal 2015 176 (20 ) Balance at January 31, 2016 (34 ) 70 (Expenses incurred) insurance receivable recorded in fiscal 2016 (37 ) — Payments made (received) in fiscal 2016 39 (50 ) Balance at January 29, 2017 $ (32 ) $ 20 Future Costs The Company also expects to incur additional legal and other professional services expenses associated with the Data Breach in future periods and will recognize these expenses as services are received. The Company does not believe that the ultimate amount paid for these services will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in future periods. Insurance Coverage The Company maintained $100 million of network security and privacy liability insurance coverage in fiscal 2014, above a $7.5 million deductible, to limit the Company’s exposure to losses such as those related to the Data Breach. As of January 29, 2017 , the Company had received initial payments totaling $80 million of insurance reimbursements under the fiscal 2014 policy, and expects to receive additional payments. The Company maintained $100 million of network security and privacy liability insurance coverage in fiscal 2015 and 2016, above a $10 million deductible, to limit the Company’s exposure to similar losses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company entered into a new policy, with $100 million of network security and privacy liability insurance coverage above a $10 million deductible, to limit the Company’s exposure to similar losses.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 29, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business, Consolidation and Presentation	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year	The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to January 31.
Use of Estimates	Management of the Company 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 financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The carrying amounts of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Short-Term Debt and Accounts Payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.
Cash Equivalents	The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents are carried at fair market value and consist primarily of money market funds.
Accounts Receivable	The Company has agreements with third-party service providers who directly extend credit to customers, manage the Company’s private label credit card program ("PLCC program") and own the related receivables. The Company evaluated the third-party entities holding the receivables under the program and concluded that they should not be consolidated by the Company. The agreement with the primary third-party service provider for the Company’s PLCC program expires in 2028 , with the Company having the option, but no obligation, to purchase the receivables at the end of the agreement. The deferred interest charges incurred by the Company for its deferred financing programs offered to its customers are included in Cost of Sales. The interchange fees charged to the Company for the customers’ use of the cards and any profit sharing with the third-party service providers are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A"). The sum of these three components is referred to by the Company as "the cost of credit" of the PLCC program. In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including Interline Brands, Inc. ("Interline"), extend credit directly to customers in the ordinary course of business.
Merchandise Inventories	The majority of the Company’s Merchandise Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, as determined by the retail inventory method. As the inventory retail value is adjusted regularly to reflect market conditions, the inventory valued using the retail method approximates the lower of cost or market. Certain subsidiaries, including retail operations in Canada and Mexico, distribution centers and Interline, record Merchandise Inventories at the lower of cost or market, as determined by a cost method. These Merchandise Inventories represent approximately 30% of the total Merchandise Inventories balance. The Company evaluates the inventory valued using a cost method at the end of each quarter to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or market. The valuation allowance for Merchandise Inventories valued under a cost method was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of the end of fiscal 2016 or 2015 . Independent physical inventory counts or cycle counts are taken on a regular basis in each store and distribution center to ensure that amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for Merchandise Inventories are properly stated. During the period between physical inventory counts in stores, the Company accrues for estimated losses related to shrink on a store-by-store basis based on recent shrink results and current trends in the business. Shrink (or in the case of excess inventory, "swell") is the difference between the recorded amount of inventory and the physical inventory. Shrink may occur due to theft, loss, inaccurate records for the receipt of inventory or deterioration of goods, among other things.
Income Taxes	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Company provides for federal, state and foreign income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. 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 recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company and its eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain U.S. subsidiaries, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, are not eligible to be included in the Company’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Separate provisions for income taxes have been determined for these entities. The Company intends to reinvest substantially all of the unremitted earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and postpone their remittance indefinitely. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes on these earnings was recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Depreciation and Amortization	The Company’s Buildings, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold Improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the original term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.
Capitalized Software Costs	The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is three to six years. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
Revenues	The Company recognizes revenue, net of estimated returns and sales tax, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. The liability for sales returns is estimated based on historical return levels. When the Company receives payment from customers before the customer has taken possession of the merchandise or the service has been performed, the amount received is recorded as Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets until the sale or service is complete. The Company also records Deferred Revenue for the sale of gift cards and recognizes this revenue upon the redemption of gift cards in Net Sales. Gift card breakage income is recognized based upon historical redemption patterns and represents the balance of gift cards for which the Company believes the likelihood of redemption by the customer is remote.
Services Revenue	Net Sales include services revenue generated through a variety of installation, home maintenance and professional service programs. In these programs, the customer selects and purchases material for a project, and the Company provides or arranges professional installation. These programs are offered through the Company’s stores and in-home sales programs. Under certain programs, when the Company provides or arranges the installation of a project and the subcontractor provides material as part of the installation, both the material and labor are included in services revenue. The Company recognizes this revenue when the service for the customer is complete. All payments received prior to the completion of services are recorded in Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Self-Insurance	The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to general liability (including product liability), workers’ compensation, employee group medical and automobile claims. The expected ultimate cost for claims incurred as of the balance sheet date is not discounted and is recognized as a liability. The expected ultimate cost of claims is estimated based upon analysis of historical data and actuarial estimates. The Company maintains network security and privacy liability insurance coverage to limit the Company’s exposure to losses such as those that may be caused by a significant compromise or breach of the Company’s data security.
Prepaid Advertising	Television and radio advertising production costs, along with media placement costs, are expensed when the advertisement first appears.
Vendor Allowances	Vendor allowances primarily consist of volume rebates that are earned as a result of attaining certain purchase levels and advertising co-op allowances for the promotion of vendors’ products that are typically based on guaranteed minimum amounts with additional amounts being earned for attaining certain purchase levels. These vendor allowances are accrued as earned, with those allowances received as a result of attaining certain purchase levels accrued over the incentive period based on estimates of purchases. Volume rebates and certain advertising co-op allowances earned are initially recorded as a reduction in Merchandise Inventories and a subsequent reduction in Cost of Sales when the related product is sold. Certain advertising co-op allowances that are reimbursements of specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to promote vendors’ products are recorded as an offset against advertising expense.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales includes the actual cost of merchandise sold and services performed, the cost of transportation of merchandise from vendors to the Company’s stores, locations or customers, shipping and handling costs from the Company’s stores, locations or distribution centers to customers, the operating cost of the Company’s sourcing and distribution network, online fulfillment center costs and the cost of deferred interest programs offered through the Company’s private label credit card programs.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	The Company evaluates its long-lived assets each quarter for indicators of potential impairment. Indicators of impairment include current period losses combined with a history of losses, management’s decision to relocate or close a store or other location before the end of its previously estimated useful life or when changes in other circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The evaluation for long-lived assets is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is generally the individual store level. The assets of a store with indicators of impairment are evaluated by comparing its undiscounted cash flows with its carrying value. The estimate of cash flows includes management’s assumptions of cash inflows and outflows directly resulting from the use of those assets in operations, including gross margin on Net Sales, payroll and related items, occupancy costs, insurance allocations and other costs to operate a store. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair market value. Impairment losses are recorded as a component of SG&A in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. When a leased location closes, the Company also recognizes in SG&A the net present value of future lease obligations less estimated sublease income.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill but does assess the recoverability of goodwill in the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more often if indicators warrant, by determining whether the fair value of each reporting unit supports its carrying value. Each year the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments, with a quantitative assessment completed at least once every three years. The Company completed a quantitative assessment in fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2016 , the Company completed its annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill for its U.S., Canada and Mexico reporting units. The fair values of these reporting units were estimated using the present value of expected future discounted cash flows, and the fair value exceeded the carrying value for each respective reporting unit. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill for fiscal 2016 , 2015 or 2014 . The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to 12 years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested in the third quarter of each fiscal year for impairment, or more often if indicators warrant.
Stock-Based Compensation	The fair value of these options was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
Derivatives	The Company uses derivative financial instruments from time to time in the management of its interest rate exposure on long-term debt and its exposure on foreign currency fluctuations. The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 815-10, "Derivatives and Hedging".
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income includes Net Earnings adjusted for certain gains and losses that are excluded from Net Earnings under U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to Net Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss consist primarily of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation	Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange on the last day of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are generally translated using average exchange rates for the period, and equity transactions are translated using the actual rate on the day of the transaction.
Segment Information	The Company operates within a single reportable segment primarily within North America.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment", which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-04 require that goodwill impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit and the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-04 should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2017-04 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory", which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intercompany transfer of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. An entity will continue to recognize the income tax consequences of an intercompany transfer of inventory when the inventory is sold to a third party. ASU No. 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a modified retrospective approach, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2016-16 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting", which makes several modifications to the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the requirement to recognize the income tax effects of awards that vest or settle as income tax expense. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-09 also clarify the presentation of certain components of share-based awards in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, and does not believe it will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which requires an entity that is a lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 also require disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a modified retrospective approach, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating and planning for the adoption and implementation of ASU No. 2016-02. The Company believes that ASU No. 2016-02 will have a material impact on its financial position, as a result of the requirement to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact to the Company’s results of operations is being evaluated, and the Company does not believe there will be a material impact to its cash flows upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU No. 2014-09 requires disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition principles, and it permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, as well as the expected method of adoption. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, the Company has determined that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 could impact the timing of revenue recognition through its services, gift card and various incentive programs. ASU No. 2014-09 will impact the Company’s method of recognizing gift card breakage income, which is currently recognized based upon historical redemption patterns. ASU No. 2014-09 requires gift card breakage income to be recognized in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer when the Company expects to be entitled to breakage. The Company is also evaluating the principal versus agent considerations as it relates to certain arrangements with third parties that could impact the presentation of gross or net revenue reporting. Other areas which could be impacted may be identified as the Company continues its evaluation of ASU No. 2014-09. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 on January 29, 2018 and is evaluating the available transition methods. Also on February 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". Under ASU No. 2015-17, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. On February 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest–Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs". Under ASU No. 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.
Reclassifications	Certain amounts in prior fiscal years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
