there are no sales on the other toolboxes
What a crock.
They made $5B because of the coupon. I haven't stepped foot in a HF for over a year. If I am like $50 spend annual x 40 million Americans = $2B less in revenue and maybe $200 Million in profit (with 10% markup).
I'd like to see their inflation adjusted profit for 2020, 2021, 2022.

HF leadership doesn't care how much you spend. The company doesn't need to turn a profit for the owners to make money. The company takes out loans and the owners use a portion of the loan to pay themselves a dividend. Then they get a bigger loan to refinance the previous loan and pay out another dividend. They repeat every few years borrowing billions each time.
To me HF no longer serves a purpose unless you can't wait for something online to be delivered, other than that their products are just more expensive disposable products, I'll pay more I might as well get something that will last long term.

Truthfully, you don't know either until the sales numbers come out. They don't lie.
If their profits are still $5B or more, then I am wrong and all the devil customers/people who used to go because of a coupon for cheaper tools and accessories definitely did not make a bulk of their customers. IMO, if a substantial number (25-50% of their customers used to go because of the coupon or free tarp) is the case, then it will be reflected in their sales...if they care. They may not care. $2B revenue may be enough for them, but YOY revenue will be lower.

They don't make 5 billion a year, they had revenues of 5.1 billion for the fiscal year ending in July 2021. They are privately owned so we don't know what kind of profit they show on that.
