Basis of Presentation

The Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes include the accounts of Chewy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Chewy, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standards codification (“ASC”).

All adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial information, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. Results of operations for the quarterly period ended August 3, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended August 3, 2025 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2025 (“10-K Report”).

Fiscal Year

The Company has a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending each year on the Sunday that is closest to January 31 of that year. The Company’s 2025 fiscal year ends on February 1, 2026 and is a 52-week year. The Company’s 2024 fiscal year ended February 2, 2025 and was a 53-week year.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the 10-K Report.
Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Key estimates relate primarily to determining the net realizable value and demand for inventory, useful lives associated with property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowances with respect to deferred tax assets, contingencies, self-insurance accruals, evaluation of sales tax positions, and the valuation and assumptions underlying share-based compensation. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

Share Repurchases

The total cost of repurchased shares of common stock in excess of par value, including the cost of commissions and excise taxes, is recorded to additional paid-in capital. The total cost for share repurchases executed and unpaid, as well as the cost of unpaid commissions and excise taxes, are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 24, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A common stock”), and/or Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B common stock” and together with the Class A common stock, the “common stock”), pursuant to a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market repurchases, in privately negotiated transactions, through repurchases made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, or other means. The actual timing and amount of any share repurchases remains subject to a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market conditions, compliance with applicable legal requirements, and other general business considerations. The Repurchase Program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares of common stock. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.
