10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec 28, 2024
Filed Feb 18, 2025 · Read the filing on EDGAR
- Sales fell 3% to $15.4 billion, but the company swung to a $286 million profit from continuing operations after a $282 million loss in 2023.
- Gross margin rose to 29.4% from 24.9%, helped by supply chain savings, though it remains well below the 35%+ goal.
- Infrastructure was sold for $728.5 million, and commercial paper borrowings fell from $1.1 billion to zero by year-end.
- Management expects 2025 earnings of $4.05 per share and $750 million of free cash flow, but these figures exclude new 2025 tariffs.
Business momentum
Improving
“Net sales were $15.366 billion in 2024 compared to $15.781 billion in 2023, representing a decrease of 3%”
Outlook
Positive
“The Company's planning assumptions for 2025 are for diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis to be $4.05 (+/- $0.65), diluted earnings per share excluding Non-GAAP adjustments to be $5.25 (+/- $0.50), and free cash flow to be $750 million (+/- $100 million).”
Financial stress
Low
“The Company’s existing credit facilities and sources of liquidity, including expected operating cash flows, are considered more than adequate to conduct business as normal.”
Tone against the previous report
More positive
Red flags
- Medium
Other
“The $143.2 million pre-tax environmental charges in 2024 relate primarily to a reserve adjustment for the non-active Centredale Superfund site as a result of regulatory changes and revisions to remediation alternatives.”
- Minor
Investigation
“On May 1, 2024, the Company was informed that the CPSC voted to refer the matter to the DOJ.”
Positives
Gross margin improved sharply on supply chain savings
“The Company reported gross profit of $4.514 billion, or 29.4% of net sales, in 2024 compared to $3.933 billion, or 24.9% of net sales, in 2023.”
Short-term borrowing was fully paid down
“As of December 28, 2024, the Company had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding.”
Cost savings program is on track
“The Company believes that it is on track to grow to approximately $2 billion of pre-tax run-rate savings by year-end 2025.”
Concerns
Consumer and do-it-yourself demand remains weak
“Organic revenue was flat as growth in DEWALT® was offset by the weak consumer and DIY backdrop.”
The 2024 profit was helped by a tax benefit
“The Company's effective tax rate on continuing operations was (18.7)% in 2024, 25.0% in 2023, and (349.3)% in 2022.”
Debt is still large, and free cash flow slipped
“Free cash flow, as defined in the table below, was an inflow of $753 million in 2024 compared to an inflow of $853 million in 2023 and an outflow of $1.990 billion in 2022.”
New risks since the previous report
New 2025 tariffs are not included in guidance
“These planning assumptions exclude the impact of new 2025 tariffs.”
Environmental clean-up costs could rise further
“As of December 28, 2024, the range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $192 million to $408 million which is subject to change in the near term.”
Most of the company's small cash balance sits abroad
“Cash and cash equivalents totaled $291 million as of December 28, 2024, which was primarily held in foreign jurisdictions.”
Debt covenant tightens again after mid-2025
“The Company must maintain, for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company, an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.50 to 1.00”
Biggest risks named
- Tariffs and trade restrictions on goods sourced from China and other countries
- Weak consumer demand and reliance on large home center and retail customers
- Delivering the supply chain transformation and returning gross margins to 35% or more
- $6.2 billion of debt, credit ratings and an interest coverage covenant that tightens
- Government investigation, shareholder lawsuits and rising environmental clean-up costs

How these scores work
An AI model reads the management discussion, risk factors and legal sections of each report and records what they say, quoting the filing word for word. Fixed rules then turn those findings into a score from 0 to 100, where 60 means nothing notable either way. A score describes the report, not whether the stock is a good investment, and the AI may know how things turned out later, which can colour older scores. Read the methodology
