Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Best Buy,” “we,” “us”, “our” and the “company” in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to Best Buy Co., Inc. and, as applicable, its consolidated subsidiaries.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

A large proportion of our revenue and earnings is generated in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. The interim financial statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025. The first three months of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 each included 13 weeks.

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from May 3, 2025, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of specific categories meeting a quantitative threshold within the income tax rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU, which can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and expect to include updated income tax disclosures in our fiscal 2026 Form 10-K.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and expect to include updated expense disclosures in our fiscal 2028 Form 10-K.

Supply Chain Financing

We have a supply chain financing program with an independent financial institution, whereby some of our suppliers have the opportunity to receive accounts payable settlements early, at a discount, facilitated by the financial institution. Our liability associated with the funded participation in the program, which is primarily included in Accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $569 million, $398 million and $505 million as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively.

Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reconciled to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows ($ in millions):


	May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,147	$	1,578	$	1,214
Restricted cash included in Other current assets		288		290		313
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	1,435	$	1,868	$	1,527

Amounts included in restricted cash are primarily restricted to cover product protection plans provided under our membership offerings and self-insurance liabilities.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications of immaterial amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented.

2. Restructuring

Restructuring charges were as follows ($ in millions):


	Three Months Ended
	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Best Buy Health Optimization and China Sourcing Initiative	$	111	$	-
Fiscal 2024 Restructuring Initiative		(2)		16
Fiscal 2023 Resource Optimization Initiative		-		(1)
Total	$	109	$	15

Best Buy Health Optimization and China Sourcing Initiative

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we commenced a restructuring initiative primarily focused on optimizing our Best Buy Health business by taking actions to maximize value and improve profitability in light of its performance against our original forecasting. These actions include the decision to exit a component of the business within fiscal 2026. In addition, we also made significant changes to reduce our exposure to tariffs, particularly in China.

All charges incurred related to this initiative were from continuing operations in our Domestic segment and presented within Restructuring charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The composition of restructuring charges incurred related to this initiative were as follows ($ in millions):


	Three Months Ended
	May 3, 2025
Asset impairments and other costs⁽¹⁾	$	73
Termination benefits		38
Total	$	111

(1)Primarily represents the full impairment of net assets related to a component of our Best Buy Health business and other exit costs. The remaining carrying value of net assets approximates fair value and was immaterial as of May 3, 2025.

There were no cash payments related to this initiative during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and our restructuring accrual liabilities as of May 3, 2025, were $66 million, reflecting expected future cash payments primarily during fiscal 2026. We currently do not expect to incur material future restructuring charges related to this initiative.

Fiscal 2024 Restructuring Initiative

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we commenced an enterprise-wide restructuring initiative intended to accomplish the following: (1) align field labor resources with where customers want to shop to optimize the customer experience; (2) redirect corporate resources for better alignment with our strategy; and (3) right-size resources to better align with our revenue outlook for fiscal 2025. We do not expect to incur material future restructuring charges related to this initiative.

All charges incurred related to this initiative were comprised of employee termination benefits from continuing operations and were presented within Restructuring charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows ($ in millions):


	Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended		Cumulative Amount
	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024		As of May 3, 2025
Domestic	$	(2)	$	17	$	164

Total	$	2,058	$	(1,150)	$	2,058	$	(1,150)	$	2,058	$	(675)

‎In fiscal 2025, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $475 million within the Domestic segment for the Best Buy Health reporting unit. The restructuring activity that commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was a triggering event to evaluate the Best Buy Health reporting unit for impairment. No further goodwill impairment was identified. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, for additional information.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

We have definite-lived intangible assets recorded within Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows ($ in millions):


	May 3, 2025				February 1, 2025				May 4, 2024
	Gross Carrying ‎Amount⁽¹⁾		Accumulated ‎Amortization⁽¹⁾		Gross Carrying ‎Amount		Accumulated ‎Amortization		Gross Carrying ‎Amount		Accumulated ‎Amortization		Weighted-Average Useful Life Remaining ‎as of May 3, 2025 (in years)

4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value were as follows ($ in millions):


				Fair Value as of
	Balance Sheet Location⁽¹⁾	Fair Value Hierarchy		May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024
Assets
Money market funds⁽²⁾	Cash and cash equivalents		Level 1	$	79	$	439	$	234
Time deposits⁽³⁾	Cash and cash equivalents		Level 2		232		150		110
Money market funds⁽²⁾	Other current assets		Level 1		142		140		184
Time deposits⁽³⁾	Other current assets		Level 2		50		50		51
Marketable securities that fund deferred compensation⁽⁴⁾	Other assets		Level 1		38		39		49

Liabilities
Interest rate swap derivative instruments⁽⁵⁾	Long-term liabilities		Level 2		8		14		27

(1)Balance sheet location is determined by the length to maturity at date of purchase and whether the assets are restricted for particular use.

(2)Valued at quoted market prices in active markets at period end.

(3)Valued at face value plus accrued interest at period end, which approximates fair value.

(4)Valued using the performance of mutual funds that trade with sufficient frequency and volume to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

(5)Valued using readily observable market inputs. These instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded on an active market. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments, for additional information.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded asset impairments and other costs related to our Best Buy Health Optimization and China Sourcing Initiative. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash, certain restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for other investments held at cost are not readily available, but we estimate that the carrying values for these investments approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt is presented at carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If our long-term debt were recorded at fair value, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Long-term debt balances were as follows ($ in millions):


	May 3, 2025				February 1, 2025				May 4, 2024
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Long-term debt⁽¹⁾	$	1,043	$	1,142	$	1,031	$	1,136	$	994	$	1,123

(1)Excludes debt discounts, issuance costs and finance lease obligations.

5. Derivative Instruments

We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain risks by using foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of Canadian dollar exchange rate fluctuations on a portion of our net investment in our Canadian operations and by using interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk on our $500 million of principal amount of notes due October 1, 2028. In addition, we use foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to recognized receivable and payable balances denominated in non-functional currencies.

Our derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges and fair value hedges are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The gross fair values of our outstanding derivative instruments and corresponding fair value classifications are included in Note 4, Fair Value Measurements.

‎

Notional amounts of our derivative instruments were as follows ($ in millions):

6. Debt

Short-Term Debt

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

On April 18, 2025, we entered into a $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the “Five-Year Facility Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Five-Year Facility Agreement replaced the previous $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Previous Facility”) with a syndicate of banks, which was entered into April 2023 and scheduled to expire April 2028, but was terminated on April 18, 2025. The Five-Year Facility Agreement permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion and expires in April 2030. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement as of May 3, 2025, or the Previous Facility as of February 1, 2025, or May 4, 2024.

The interest rate under the Five-Year Facility Agreement is variable and is determined at our option as: (i) the sum of (a) the greatest of (1) U.S. Bank National Association’s prime rate, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 0.5%, and (3) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”) for an interest period of one month plus 1%, and (b) a variable margin rate (the “ABR Margin”); or (ii) Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable interest period plus a variable margin rate (the “Term SOFR Margin”). In addition, a facility fee is assessed on the commitment amount. The ABR Margin, Term SOFR Margin and the facility fee are based upon our current senior unsecured debt rating. Under the Five-Year Facility Agreement, the ABR Margin ranges from 0.000% to 0.015%, the Term SOFR Margin ranges from 0.565% to 1.015%, and the facility fee ranges from 0.060% to 0.110%. The Five-Year Facility Agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict our and certain of our subsidiaries’ abilities to incur liens on certain assets; make material changes in corporate structure or the nature of our business; dispose of material assets; engage in certain mergers, consolidations and certain other fundamental changes; or engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

The Five-Year Facility Agreement also contains a covenant that requires the registrant to maintain a maximum quarterly cash flow leverage ratio. The Five-Year Facility Agreement contains customary default provisions, including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due and failure to comply with covenants.

7. Revenue

We generate substantially all of our revenue from contracts with customers from the sale of products and services. Contract balances primarily relate to unfulfilled membership benefits and services not yet completed, product merchandise not yet delivered to customers, unredeemed gift cards and deferred revenue from our private label and co-branded credit card arrangement. Contract balances were as follows ($ in millions):


	May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024
Receivables, net⁽¹⁾	$	461	$	504	$	453

8. Earnings per Share

We compute our basic earnings per share based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and our diluted earnings per share based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued as calculated using the treasury stock method.

Reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

(1)Because retailers vary in how they record costs of operating their supply chain between cost of sales and SG&A, our gross profit rate and SG&A rate may not be comparable to other retailers’ corresponding rates. For additional information regarding costs classified in cost of sales and SG&A, refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we continued to navigate the environment and plan our business within dynamic macroeconomic conditions, including higher prices across many areas of consumers' lives and uncertainty surrounding tariffs. We generated $8.8 billion in revenue and our comparable sales declined 0.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. While our comparable sales declined during the quarter in categories such as home theater, appliances and drones, we grew comparable sales in our computing, mobile phone and tablet categories.

Restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were associated with a restructuring initiative primarily focused on optimizing our Best Buy Health business that commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

Operating income rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to higher restructuring charges.

Diluted EPS decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to lower operating income driven by higher restructuring charges.

Revenue, gross profit rate, SG&A and operating income rate changes in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were primarily driven by our Domestic segment. For further discussion of our Domestic and International segments, see Segment Performance Summary, below.

Store Summary

Stores open by reportable segment were as follows:



	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Best Buy		886		891
Outlet Centers		24		23
Pacific Sales		20		20

Total International stores⁽¹⁾		157		160
Total stores		1,108		1,117

(1)Excludes Best Buy Express stores leased by Bell Canada.

We continuously monitor store performance as part of a market-driven, omnichannel strategy. As we approach the expiration of leases, we evaluate various options for each location, including whether a store should remain open. In fiscal 2026, we currently expect to reduce our Domestic Best Buy store count by approximately 5 to 10 stores.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased to $19 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $80 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to the discrete tax impacts of the restructuring charges and associated exit of a component of our Best Buy Health business. Effective tax rate (“ETR”) decreased to 8.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 24.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to the discrete tax impacts of the restructuring charges and associated exit of a component of our Best Buy Health business, partially offset by decreased tax benefits from resolutions of tax matters and green energy incentives. See Note 2, Restructuring, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual ETR, adjusted for discrete and unusual and infrequent items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. We update our estimate of the annual ETR each quarter, and we make a cumulative adjustment if our estimated tax rate changes. Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of our annual ETR are subject to variation due to several factors, including our ability to accurately forecast our pre-tax and taxable income and loss by jurisdiction, tax audit developments, recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation, foreign currency gains (losses), changes in laws or regulations, and expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Our ETR can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax earnings. For example, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible losses on our ETR is greater when our pre-tax earnings are lower.

Consumer Electronics: The 5.2% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by home theater.

Appliances: The 8.1% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by large appliances.

Entertainment: The 13.3% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by drones and gaming.

Services: The 0.9% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by growth in delivery and installation services.

Domestic segment gross profit rate increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to improved financial performance from our services category, including our membership offerings, partially offset by rate pressure within our Best Buy Health business and lower profit-sharing revenue from our private label and co-branded credit card arrangement.

Domestic segment adjusted SG&A decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to a favorable indirect tax settlement.

Domestic segment adjusted operating income rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 remained unchanged from the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

(3)Adjusted operating income as a % of revenue is calculated as International segment Adjusted operating income divided by International segment Revenue.

International segment revenue decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily driven by the negative impact of foreign exchange rates and a comparable sales decline, primarily in the gaming category. These decreases were partially offset by revenue from Best Buy Express locations that opened in Canada after the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

(2)Charges for the three months ended May 3, 2025, relate to a restructuring initiative primarily within the company’s Best Buy Health business that commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Charges for the three months ended May 4, 2024, primarily relate to an enterprise-wide restructuring initiative that commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

(3)The non-GAAP adjustments primarily relate to the U.S. As such, the income tax charge on the U.S. non-GAAP adjustments is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 24.5%, adjusted for tax benefits discrete to the period.

Adjusted operating income rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 remained unchanged from the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Adjusted effective tax rate increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to decreased tax benefits from resolutions of tax matters and green energy incentives.

Adjusted diluted EPS decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted earnings driven by lower investment income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We closely manage our liquidity and capital resources. Our liquidity requirements depend on key variables, including the level of investment required to support our business strategies, the performance of our business, capital expenditures, dividends, credit facilities, short-term borrowing arrangements and working capital management. We modify our approach to managing these variables as changes in our operating environment arise. For example, capital expenditures and share repurchases are a component of our cash flow and capital management strategy, which, to a large extent, we can adjust in response to economic and other changes in our business environment.

Cash and cash equivalents were as follows ($ in millions):


	May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,147	$	1,578	$	1,214

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from February 1, 2025, was primarily due to the timing and volume of inventory purchases and payments, dividend payments, capital expenditures and share repurchases, partially offset by positive cash flows from operations, primarily driven by earnings.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from May 4, 2024, was primarily due to dividend payments, capital expenditures and share repurchases, partially offset by positive cash flows from operations, primarily driven by earnings.

Cash Flows

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		4		(3)
Decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(433)	$	(266)

Operating Activities

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by the timing and volume of inventory purchases and payments, partially offset by the timing of vendor funding receivables.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities remained relatively flat in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by higher share repurchases.

Sources of Liquidity

Funds generated by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, our credit facilities, other debt arrangements and trade payables are our most significant sources of liquidity. We believe our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations and anticipated capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends and strategic initiatives, including business combinations. However, in the event our liquidity is insufficient, we may be required to limit our spending. There can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to maintain our ability to borrow under our existing credit facilities or obtain additional financing, if necessary, on favorable terms.

‎

On April 18, 2025, we entered into a $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the “Five-Year Facility Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The Five-Year Facility Agreement replaced the previous $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Previous Facility”) with a syndicate of banks, which was entered into April 2023 and scheduled to expire in April 2028, but was terminated on April 18, 2025. The Five-Year Facility Agreement permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion and expires in April 2030. Refer to Note 6, Debt, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement as of May 3, 2025, or the Previous Facility as of February 1, 2025, or May 4, 2024.

Restricted Cash

Our liquidity is also affected by restricted cash balances that are primarily restricted to cover product protection plans provided under our membership offerings and self-insurance liabilities. Restricted cash, which is included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $288 million, $290 million and $313 million as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, respectively. While restricted cash has remained relatively flat from February 1, 2025, the decrease in restricted cash from May 4, 2024, was primarily due to releases of product protection reserves based on claims and purchasing behaviors of customers participating in our membership offerings.

Debt and Capital

As of May 3, 2025, we had $500 million of principal amount of notes due October 1, 2028, and $650 million of principal amount of notes due October 1, 2030. Refer to Note 6, Debt, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Note 8, Debt, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, for additional information about our outstanding debt.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

We repurchase our common stock and pay dividends pursuant to programs approved by our Board of Directors (“Board”). The payment of cash dividends is also subject to customary legal and contractual restrictions. Our long-term capital allocation strategy is to first fund operations and investments in growth and then return excess cash over time to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining investment-grade credit metrics. Our share repurchase plans are evaluated on an ongoing basis, considering factors such as our financial condition and cash flows, our economic outlook, the impact of tax laws, our liquidity needs, our stock price and the health and stability of global markets. The timing and amount of future repurchases may vary depending on such factors.

On February 28, 2022, our Board approved a $5.0 billion share repurchase program. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under this authorization.

Share repurchase and dividend activity were as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended
	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Total cost of shares repurchased	$	100	$	52
Average price per share	$	64.39	$	77.81
Total number of shares repurchased		1.6		0.7
Regular quarterly cash dividend per share	$	0.95	$	0.94
Cash dividends declared and paid	$	202	$	202

The total cost of shares repurchased increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to an increase in the volume of repurchases, partially offset by a decrease in the average price per share.

Cash dividends declared and paid remained flat in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Our liquidity is not dependent on the use of off-balance-sheet financing arrangements other than in connection with our $1.25 billion in undrawn capacity on our Five-Year Facility Agreement as of May 3, 2025, which, if drawn upon, would be included in either short-term or long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

There has been no material change in our contractual obligations other than in the ordinary course of business since the end of fiscal 2025. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, for additional information regarding our off-balance-sheet arrangements and contractual obligations.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of fiscal 2025.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), provide a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies. With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements and may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would,” and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negatives thereof. Such statements reflect our current views and estimates with respect to future market conditions, company performance and financial results, operational investments, business prospects, our operating model, new strategies and growth initiatives, the competitive environment, consumer behavior and other events. These statements involve a number of judgments and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of the Company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the potential results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Readers should review Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any updated information in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for a description of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Among the factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements are the following: macroeconomic pressures in the markets in which we operate (including but not limited to recession, inflation rates, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, limitations on a government’s ability to borrow and/or spend capital, fluctuations in housing prices, energy markets, jobless rates, the imposition of tariffs, trade wars and effects related to the conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, supply chain disruptions or other geopolitical events); catastrophic events, health crises and pandemics; susceptibility of the products we sell to technological advancements, product life cycle fluctuations and changes in consumer preferences; competition (including from multi-channel retailers, e-commerce business, technology service providers, traditional store-based retailers, vendors and mobile network carriers and in the provision of delivery speed and options); our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; changes in market compensation rates; our expansion into health and new products, services and technologies; our focus on services as a strategic priority; our reliance on key vendors and mobile network carriers (including product availability); our ability to maintain positive brand perception and recognition; our ability to effectively manage strategic ventures, alliances or acquisitions; our ability to effectively manage our real estate portfolio; inability of vendors or service providers to perform components of our supply chain (impacting our stores or other aspects of our operations) and other various functions of our business; risks arising from and potentially unique to our exclusive brands products; risks associated with vendors that source products outside of the U.S.; our reliance on our information technology systems, internet and telecommunications access and capabilities; our ability to prevent or effectively respond to a cyber-attack, privacy or security breach; product safety and quality concerns; changes to labor or employment laws or regulations; risks arising from statutory, regulatory and legal developments (including statutes and/or regulations related to tax or privacy); evolving corporate governance and public disclosure regulations and expectations (including, but not limited to, cybersecurity and environmental, social and governance matters); risks arising from our international activities (including those related to the conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the imposition of tariffs and trade wars) and those of our vendors; failure to effectively manage our costs; our dependence on cash flows and net earnings generated during the fourth fiscal quarter; pricing investments and promotional activity; economic or regulatory developments that might affect our ability to provide attractive promotional financing; constraints in the capital markets; changes to our vendor credit terms; changes in our credit ratings; and failure to meet financial-performance guidance or other forward-looking statements. We caution that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement that we may make.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, in addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to certain market risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in short-term market interest rates and these changes in rates will impact our net interest expense. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash generate interest income that will vary based on changes in short-term interest rates. In addition, we have swapped a portion of our fixed-rate debt to floating rate such that the interest expense on this debt will vary with short-term interest rates. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, for further information regarding our interest rate swaps.

As of May 3, 2025, we had $1.4 billion of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $0.5 billion of debt that has been swapped to floating rate, and therefore the net asset balance exposed to interest rate changes was $0.9 billion. As of May 3, 2025, a 50-basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $5 million increase in interest income, and conversely a 50-basis point decrease in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $5 million decrease in interest income.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to operations in our International segment. On a limited basis, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure to certain forecasted inventory purchases, recognized receivable and payable balances and our investment in our Canadian operations. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of net earnings and cash flows, as well as to reduce the volatility of net asset value associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our foreign currency risk management strategy includes both hedging instruments and derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, for additional information regarding these instruments.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations were primarily driven by the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar compared to the prior-year period. We estimate that the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on our revenue of approximately $29 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The estimated impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was not significant.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established a Disclosure Committee, consisting of certain members of management, to assist in this evaluation. The Disclosure Committee meets on a regular quarterly basis and more often if necessary.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act), at May 3, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at May 3, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
