HD to Acquire SRS Distribution
SRS has 760 branches across 47 states.
The Home Depot®, the world's largest home improvement retailer, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire SRS Distribution Inc. ("SRS"), a leading residential specialty trade distribution company across several verticals serving the professional roofer, landscaper and pool contractor.
SRS will accelerate The Home Depot's growth with the residential professional customer. SRS complements The Home Depot's capabilities and will enable the company to better serve complex project purchase occasions with the renovator/remodeler, while also establishing The Home Depot as a leading specialty trade distributor across multiple verticals.
With this acquisition, The Home Depot now believes its total addressable market is approximately $1 trillion, an increase of approximately $50 billion.
"SRS is an industry leader with a proven track record of profitable growth across verticals," said Ted Decker, chair, president, and CEO. "SRS's ability to build leadership positions in each of its trade verticals while generating significant revenue growth is a testament to its strong vision, leadership, culture and execution. SRS has built a robust and successful platform that will accelerate our growth with the residential professional customer while presenting future opportunities with the specialty trade pro."
Decker continued, "SRS's branch network, coupled with The Home Depot's 2,000+ U.S. stores and distribution centers, comprehensive product offering, and extensive pro brands, provides the residential pro customer with more fulfillment and service options than ever before. I look forward to welcoming the entire SRS team to The Home Depot and capturing the exciting opportunity ahead."
SRS's 2,500-plus professional sales force and 760-plus branch network across 47 states, together with its 4,000-plus truck fleet and jobsite delivery capabilities, will enable The Home Depot to extend its offering to residential specialty trade pros while better serving renovator/remodelers.
"Our team is thrilled to join The Home Depot," said Dan Tinker, SRS's president and CEO. "We are looking forward to combining our differentiated assets and capabilities, including our extensive branch network, experienced sales team, robust trade credit offering, and order management system, geared at serving the complex project purchase occasion, with The Home Depot's competitive advantages. We believe this will enable us to better serve pros and continue growing in our large and highly fragmented market."
Tinker, as well as his senior leadership team, will continue to lead SRS. Tinker and team will work closely with The Home Depot to deliver the best value proposition for all pro customers.
