In the company’s own words
Core & Main, Inc. ("Core & Main" and collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") is a holding company and its primary material assets are its direct and indirect ownership interest in Core & Main Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Holdings"), and deferred tax assets associated with this ownership. Core & Main is a leading specialty distributor dedicated to advancing reliable infrastructure with local service, nationwide. With a focus on water, wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection products, and related services, we provide solutions to municipalities, private water companies and professional contractors across municipal, non- residential and residential end markets. Our specialty products and services are used primarily in the maintenance, repair, replacement and new construction of water, wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection infrastructure. We are one of only two national distributors operating across large and highly fragmented markets, which we estimate to represent approximatel y $44 billion in annual sales.
As of February 1, 2026, we had a network of over 370 bra nch locations across the United States ("U.S.") and Canada, which serve as a critical link between more than 5,000 suppliers and a diverse and long-standing base of over 60,000 customers. Our sales reach, technical product knowledge, broad product portfolio, customer service, project planning and delivery capabilities, customer service and ability to provide local expertise, nationwide, make us a critical partner to both our customers and suppliers.
We offer a comprehensive portfolio of more than 225,000 products covering a full spectrum of specialized solutions to address aging water infrastructure, including pipes, valves & fittings, storm drainage products, fire protection products and smart metering products. Our products are generally unique to our industry and must meet municipal, state and federal specifications and engineering standards.
We have a balanced mix of sales across product categories, end markets and construction sectors. We estimate we derived approximately 44% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 ("fiscal 2025") from the municipal end market, 38% from the non-residential end market and 18% from the residential end market. Furthermore, we estimate we had a near-equal mix of sales related to construction on new projects and existing repair and replacement projects in fiscal 2025 .
