Where can I find the actual financial numbers for Lowe's fourth quarter and fiscal year?

The specific financial results, including revenue, earnings per share, and other key metrics, are detailed in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the infographic (Exhibit 99.2) that are furnished with this 8-K filing. You should refer to these exhibits for the complete financial data.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' versus 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02, it means the company is providing it to the SEC for public dissemination but is not subject to the same liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act as if it were 'filed.' This is a common practice for earnings releases. However, the information is still publicly available and should be considered by investors.

Does this 8-K filing provide any future guidance or outlook for Lowe's?

This particular 8-K filing primarily announces the past financial results. Any forward-looking statements, guidance, or outlook for future periods would typically be found within the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) and potentially discussed in the infographic (Exhibit 99.2).
