Sue Gove, Director & Interim CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond said, “Our results for the second quarter came in as previously expected and announced. While our sales and profit results do not yet reflect the strategic and financial actions we have initiated to change our performance, they do demonstrate sequential progress in several key areas. In the first quarter, we experienced a significant dislocation between sales and inventory that we began to address immediately during the second quarter. Aggressive inventory optimization actions, including accelerated markdowns and strategic promotions, led to double digit improvement in this gap. Working with our supplier partners has also been an important focus area and our payables are considerably healthier than in the prior quarter as evident on our balance sheet.

Ms. Gove continued, "Although still very early, we are seeing signs of continued progress as merchandising and inventory changes begin. For example, we have seen positive sales trends where in-stock positions and visual merchandising have improved. Our Welcome Rewards loyalty program also continues to gain momentum with membership expanding by more than 1.3 million since the end of August, for a total of 6.4 million members since launching this summer. Enrolled members represent more frequent purchases and higher transaction values across all three banners. Our buybuy BABY business continues to hold market share relative to other mass market retailers in today’s highly competitive environment. We are enhancing our capabilities while leveraging Welcome Rewards, such as the relaunch of our Baby registry business later this fiscal year, increasing the effectiveness of marketing investments, and realizing the strategic shift of our merchandise assortment which had minimal impact in this quarter, all targeted to drive customers and top-line growth."

"We have worked quickly to deploy strategic and financial changes swiftly to increase cash through business growth and lowering our cost structure by approximately $250 million in the second half of fiscal 2022, or an expected $500 million on an annualized basis. We are confident that our current liquidity will enable the necessary changes we are implementing. I want to thank our teams for their proven dedication and resilience during this extraordinary and important time for our organization. We are more focused than ever on demonstrating improvement in the coming quarters. Regaining market share and enhancing liquidity are our top priorities.”

Fiscal 2022 Second Quarter Results (ending August 27, 2022)
Net sales of $1,437M declined (28)%, reflecting a Comparable1 Sales decline of (26)% and (2)% related to the impact from fleet optimization activity.
•By channel, Comparable1 Sales declined (28)% in Stores and (22)% in Digital versus the fiscal 2021 second quarter.
•Bed Bath & Beyond banner Comparable1 Sales decreased (28)% compared to the prior year period. Results exclude the impact from the Company's previously announced store fleet optimization program, which began in the second half of fiscal 2020.
•buybuy BABY banner Comparable1 Sales decreased in the high-teens compared to growth of high-teens percentage during the fiscal 2021 second quarter.
GAAP and Adjusted Gross Margin was 27.7% for the quarter. Adjusted2 Gross Margin of 27.7% included a 260 basis point negative impact compared to last year from accelerated clearance activity as the Company works aggressively to right-size inventory levels commensurate with sales. Port-related transient supply chain costs also impacted Adjusted2 Gross Margin by 100 basis points versus the year ago period. Excluding the aforementioned 360 basis points of accelerated and transient costs, Q2 Adjusted2 Gross Margin would have been 31.3%.
SG&A expense on both a GAAP and Adjusted2 basis remain at lower levels compared to the prior year period, primarily due to cost reductions and lower rent and occupancy expenses on a lower store base following the Company’s fleet optimization program. SG&A Margin for the quarter increased on a GAAP and Adjusted2 basis versus last year due to lower Net Sales. These results do not reflect significant cost optimization plans that began following the Company's



Business & Strategic Update on August 31, 2022. Significant SG&A actions include a 20% reduction in force across corporate and supply chain, in addition to decreases in indirect spending throughout the organization.

Adjusted2 EBITDA for the period was ($168) million reflecting lower Net Sales and lower Adjusted2 Gross Margin.
Net Loss per diluted share of $(4.59) for the quarter reflected approximately $1.38 of special items for the quarter. Excluding special items, Adjusted2 Net Loss per diluted share was $(3.22). Special items during the second quarter included restructuring costs driven by severance charges related to the departure of certain executive officers and the aforementioned reduction in force.
For the fiscal 2022 second quarter, the Company reported operating cash flow of approximately $(198.9) million. Investing cash flow of $(121.6) million was primarily driven by planned capital expenditures in connection with store remodels, new openings (related to buybuy BABY), maintenance and investments in technology. The Company has paused its new store and remodel programs for the remainder of fiscal 2022 which is expected to reduce its fiscal 2022 planned capital expenditures by approximately $150 million from a prior expectation of approximately $400 million.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments totaled approximately $0.2 billion and Total Liquidity3 was approximately $0.5 billion as of the fiscal 2022 second quarter, including the Company’s prior $1.0 billion asset-backed revolving credit facility less borrowings of $550 million and approximately $136.4 million in letters of credit.
As announced on August 31, 2022, the Company secured more than $500.0 million of new financing, including a newly expanded $1.130 billion asset-backed revolving credit facility and a new $375.0 million FILO facility. Current liquidity is $0.85 billion, after repayments and borrowings that have occurred subsequent to the fiscal 2022 second quarter. Additionally, the Company's 12 million share ATM program has launched. Program-to-date, the Company has sold approximately three million shares for approximately $30 million. Proceeds from the Company's ATM are expected to be used to advance strategic financial objectives.
The Company is considering liability management transactions with particular focus on the 2024 bonds. Transactions could be launched in the third quarter and could include offers to exchange our current debt for new longer tenured debt or equity at exchange ratios related to the then-current value of the current debt. However, the transactions could take other forms or might not be launched at all.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook Commentary
As previously announced with the Company's Business and Strategic Update on August 31, 2022, the Company is maintaining the following outlook parameters for fiscal 2022:

–Comparable1 Sales decline in the 20% range driven by improvements in the second half of fiscal 2022 versus the first half of fiscal 2022
–Adjusted2 SG&A expense approximately $250 million below last year, reflecting cost optimization actions occurring in the second half of fiscal 2022
–Capital Expenditures of approximately $250 million versus the Company's original plans of approximately $400 million previously planned for fiscal 2022
Based on these guidance parameters, as well as ongoing working capital management and the timing of SG&A savings, planned reductions in capital expenditures and future store closures, the Company anticipates breakeven operating cash flow by the end of fiscal 2022.
The Company will provide further commentary and context for its fiscal 2022 outlook during its conference call as well as in its investor presentation available on the investor relations section of the Company's website at http://bedbathandbeyond.gcs-web.com/investor-relations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following table reconciles non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release or that may be presented on the Company’s second quarter conference call with analysts and investors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide management, analysts, investors and other users of the Company’s financial information with meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company’s business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, but in addition to other financial measures prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP, including comparisons of year-to-year results. The Company’s method of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies. As such, the Company does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measure to assess its financial and earnings performance. For reasons noted above, the Company is presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures for its fiscal 2022 second quarter. In order for investors to be able to more readily compare the Company’s performance across periods, the Company has included comparable reconciliations for the 2021 period in the reconciliation tables below. The Company is not providing a reconciliation of its guidance with respect to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted SG&A because the Company is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the adjustments may be recognized. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
