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):

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):
