Domestic Segment Q4 FY25 Results
Domestic Revenue
Domestic comparable sales increased 0.2% and revenue decreased 5.2% versus last year to $12.72 billion. The revenue decrease was primarily due to the extra week of revenue totaling approximately $675 million in Q4 FY24.
From a merchandising perspective, the largest drivers of the comparable sales increase on a weighted basis were computing, tablets and services. These drivers were partially offset by declines in the appliances, home theater and gaming categories.
