The Home Depot announced that it has completed the acquisition
of GMS Inc. (“GMS”) through its specialty trade distribution
subsidiary, SRS Distribution Inc. (“SRS”), for a total
enterprise value (including net debt) of approximately $5.5
billion. GMS is one of the leading distributors of specialty
building products including drywall, ceilings, steel framing and
other complementary products related to remodeling and
construction projects in residential and commercial end markets.
The agreement to acquire GMS was previously announced on June
30, 2025.
“The addition of GMS further enhances SRS’s position as a
leading multi-category building materials distributor, bringing
differentiated capabilities, product categories and customer
relationships that are highly complementary to SRS’s business
today,” said Ted Decker, chair, president and CEO of The Home
Depot. “We want to serve the Pro across their entire project,
and the combination of SRS and GMS will enable cross-selling
synergies, strengthen our capabilities, and bring even more
opportunities to grow with this important customer.”
The Home Depot is focused on growing its share of wallet with
professional contractors (Pros), and the company is building
differentiated offerings and capabilities to better serve Pros
across their entire project – from large, complex jobs to
smaller renovations and repairs. The Home Depot acquired SRS in
2024, and SRS continues to demonstrate strong execution,
performance and market share gains. Now, together GMS and SRS
will provide a unique value proposition to serve the residential
and commercial Pro more holistically, including with more
fulfillment and service options, that will enable Pros to more
quickly and seamlessly complete their projects.
