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 refer 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 January 31, 2026. The first three months of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026 each included 13 weeks. Unless otherwise noted, references to years in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements relate to fiscal years, not calendar years.

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from May 2, 2026, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified.

Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 $861 million, $600 million and $569 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, 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 totals shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows ($ in millions):


	May 2, 2026		January 31, 2026		May 3, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,749	$	1,738	$	1,147
Restricted cash included in Other current assets	287		285		288
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	2,036	$	2,023	$	1,435

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

2. Restructuring

Restructuring charges were as follows ($ in millions):

Best Buy Health Optimization and China Sourcing Initiative	(1)		111
Fiscal 2024 Restructuring Initiative	-		(2)
Total	$	(9)	$	109

Fiscal 2026 Labor and Store Optimization Initiative

In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we commenced a restructuring initiative intended to align field resources with changing customer behaviors, close select non-traditional store locations and redirect corporate resources for better alignment with our strategy. We currently do not expect to incur material future restructuring charges related to this initiative.

All charges incurred related to this initiative were from continuing operations 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 2, 2026		Cumulative Amount as of May 2, 2026
	Domestic			Domestic		International		Total
Termination benefits	$	(7)		$	61	$	3	$	64
Asset impairments and other costs(1)	(1)			45		-		45
Total	$	(8)		$	106	$	3	$	109

(1)Cumulative amount as of May 2, 2026 primarily represents asset impairments related to planned store closures, an impairment related to an indefinite-lived tradename and other exit costs. The remaining carrying value of net assets approximates fair value and was immaterial as of May 2, 2026.

Restructuring accrual activity related to this initiative was as follows ($ in millions):


	Termination Benefits
	Domestic		International		Total
Balances at January 31, 2026	$	42	$	3	$	45

Cash payments	(8)		(1)		(9)
Adjustments(1)	(7)		-		(7)
Balances at May 2, 2026	$	27	$	2	$	29

(1)Represents adjustments primarily related to higher-than-expected employee retention from previously planned organizational changes.

Our restructuring accrual liabilities primarily related to termination benefits of $29 million as of May 2, 2026, reflect expected future cash payments primarily during fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028.

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 included the exit of a component of our Best Buy Health business that was finalized during the second quarter of fiscal 2026. In addition, we also made significant changes to reduce our exposure to tariffs, particularly in China. We currently do not expect to incur material future restructuring charges related to this initiative and no material liability remains as of May 2, 2026.

Table of Contents

Fiscal 2024 Restructuring Initiative

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we commenced an enterprise-wide restructuring initiative intended to align field labor resources with where customers want to shop and to optimize the customer experience, redirect corporate resources for better alignment with our strategy and right-size resources to better align with our revenue outlook for fiscal 2025. There were no expenses incurred related to this initiative in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and we do not expect to incur material future restructuring charges related to this initiative.

The only remaining restructuring accrual related to this initiative relates to our Domestic segment and was as follows ($ in millions):


	Termination Benefits

Balance at January 31, 2026	$	31
Cash payments	(1)

Balance at May 2, 2026	$	30

10. Contingencies

We are involved in a number of legal proceedings. Where appropriate, we have made accruals with respect to these matters, which are reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, there are cases where liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made. We provide disclosure of matters where we believe it is reasonably possible the impact may be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Category Reclassification

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we reclassified certain amounts within our revenue categories to better align with management's current view of the business. The reclassification primarily relates to credit card revenue and digital content revenue (including digital gaming, software and subscriptions) that were previously included in various product revenue categories and, following the reclassification, are now included within services revenue. The reclassification impacts only the presentation of revenue by category and does not affect previously reported total revenue, net earnings or cash flows.

Table of Contents

The key components of each revenue category are now as follows:

•Computing and Mobile Phones - computing (including desktops, notebooks and peripherals), mobile phones (including related mobile network carrier commissions), networking, tablets (including e-readers) and wearables (including smartwatches);

•Consumer Electronics - digital imaging, health and fitness products, home theater (including accessories, soundbars and televisions), portable audio (including headphones and portable speakers) and smart home;

•Appliances - large appliances (including dishwashers, laundry, ovens and refrigerators) and small appliances (including blenders, coffee makers, vacuums and personal care);

•Entertainment - drones, gaming (including hardware, peripherals and certain software, as well as augmented reality glasses), toys and virtual reality;

•Services - advertising, credit card revenue, digital content (including digital gaming, software and subscriptions), fulfillment, health-related services, installation, marketplace commissions, memberships, repair, technical support and warranty-related services; and

•Other - other product offerings (including baby, food and beverage and outdoor living).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “Best Buy,” “we,” “us” and “our” refers to Best Buy Co., Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Any references to our website addresses do not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained on the websites.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Unless otherwise noted, transactions and other factors significantly impacting our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity are discussed in order of magnitude. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (including the information presented therein under Risk Factors), as well as our other reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited.

Overview

We are driven by our purpose to enrich lives through technology and our vision to personalize and humanize technology solutions for every stage of life. We accomplish this by leveraging our combination of tech expertise and a human touch to meet our customers’ everyday needs, whether they come to us online, visit our stores or invite us into their homes.

We have two reportable segments: Domestic and International. The Domestic segment is comprised of our operations in all states, districts and territories of the U.S. and our Best Buy Health business. The International segment is comprised of all our operations in Canada.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the end of January. Unless otherwise noted, references to years within the MD&A section of this report relate to fiscal years, not calendar years. Our business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal. A large proportion of our revenue and earnings is generated in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season.

Comparable Sales

Throughout this MD&A, we refer to comparable sales. Comparable sales is a metric used by management to evaluate the performance of our existing stores and digital offerings by measuring the change in net sales for a particular period over the comparable prior period of equivalent length.

Comparable sales includes revenue from stores operating for at least 14 full months; sales initiated on a website, app or virtual store; advertising revenue; commercial sales; credit card revenue; gift card breakage; marketplace commission revenue; and sales of merchandise to wholesalers and dealers. Revenue from acquisitions is included in comparable sales beginning with the first full quarter following the first anniversary of the date of the acquisition. Comparable sales excludes revenue from stores closed more than 14 days (including but not limited to relocated, remodeled, expanded and downsized stores, or stores impacted by natural disasters) until at least 14 full months after reopening; the impact of certain periodic warranty-related profit-share revenue; the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (applicable to our International segment only); and the impact of the 53rd week (applicable in 53-week fiscal years only). Comparable sales is based on our fiscal calendar and is not adjusted to align calendar weeks. All periods presented apply this methodology consistently.

Comparable online sales is a subset of comparable sales related to our digital offerings and includes sales initiated on a website, app or virtual store; advertising revenue and marketplace commission revenue.

We believe comparable sales is a meaningful supplemental metric for investors to evaluate revenue performance resulting from growth in existing stores and digital offerings versus the portion resulting from opening new stores or closing existing stores. The method of calculating comparable sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, our method of calculating comparable sales may not be the same as other retailers’ methods.

Revenue Category Reclassification

Table of Contents

The key components of each revenue category are now as follows:

•Appliances - large appliances (including dishwashers, laundry, ovens and refrigerators) and small appliances (including blenders, coffee makers, vacuums and personal care);

•Entertainment - drones, gaming (including hardware, peripherals and certain software, as well as augmented reality glasses), toys and virtual reality;

•Other - other product offerings (including baby, food and beverage and outdoor living).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This MD&A includes financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as consolidated adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), consolidated adjusted SG&A rate, consolidated adjusted operating income, consolidated adjusted operating income rate, consolidated adjusted effective tax rate and consolidated adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). We believe that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide additional useful information for evaluating current period performance and assessing future performance. For these reasons, internal management reporting, including budgets, forecasts and financial targets used for short-term incentives are based on non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments for items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and acquired intangible asset impairments, certain long-lived asset impairments, price-fixing settlements, gains and losses on disposals of subsidiaries and certain investments, amortization of definite-lived intangible assets associated with acquisitions, certain acquisition-related costs and the tax effect of all such items. In addition, certain other items may be excluded from non-GAAP financial measures when we believe doing so provides greater clarity to management and our investors. We provide reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP to presented non-GAAP financial measures that enable investors to understand the adjustments made in arriving at the non-GAAP financial measures and to evaluate performance using the same metrics as management. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting their usefulness for comparative purposes.

In our discussions of the operating results of our consolidated business and our International segment, we sometimes refer to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates or the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which are references to the differences between the foreign currency exchange rates we use to convert the International segment’s operating results from local currencies into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. We also may use the term “constant currency,” which represents results adjusted to exclude foreign currency impacts. We calculate those impacts as the difference between the current period results translated using the current period currency exchange rates and using the comparable prior period currency exchange rates. We believe the disclosure of revenue changes in constant currency provides useful supplementary information to investors in light of significant fluctuations in currency rates.

Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for detailed reconciliations of items impacting consolidated adjusted SG&A, consolidated adjusted operating income, consolidated adjusted effective tax rate and consolidated adjusted diluted EPS in the presented periods.

Tariffs

We continue to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely, including impacts from the U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were unauthorized. We are participating in the process established by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for refunds of tariffs we paid as the importer of record under IEEPA. The timing and amount of refunds ultimately received is subject to ongoing legal and administrative uncertainty. Accordingly, we did not recognize any amounts related to these refunds during the three months ended May 2, 2026.

As tariff and trade policy discussions are ongoing and related matters continue to evolve, we cannot predict with certainty their ultimate impact on our business in future periods, including our results of operations and cash flows. For more information on these risks and uncertainties, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(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 Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we generated $8.9 billion in revenue and our comparable sales grew 2.0%, primarily driven by comparable sales growth in gaming, computing and mobile phones, partially offset by a comparable sales decline in major appliances. The comparable sales growth was due to a mix of new technology innovation, our continued focus on omni-channel customer experience and strong vendor partnerships.

We recorded a reduction to restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily related to adjustments for termination benefits associated with a labor and store optimization restructuring initiative that commenced in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Operating income rate increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to lower restructuring charges.

Diluted EPS increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to higher operating income.

Revenue, gross profit rate, SG&A rate and operating income rate changes in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 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 segment were as follows:

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

Table of Contents

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. We currently expect to increase our Domestic segment Best Buy store count by an additional four stores by the end of fiscal 2027.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased to $102 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to $19 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to the discrete tax impacts of the restructuring charges and the associated exit of a component of our Best Buy Health business in the prior year, as well as higher pre-tax income. Effective tax rate (“ETR”) increased to 26.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to 8.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to these prior-year discrete tax impacts. 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.

•Services: The 5.5% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by Best Buy Marketplace and credit card revenue.

•Entertainment: The 38.1% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by gaming.

Domestic segment gross profit rate increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to growth in Best Buy Marketplace and Best Buy Ads, and improved financial performance from our traditional services offerings. These increases were primarily offset by lower product margin rates.

Domestic segment adjusted SG&A increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to higher expenses related to our Best Buy Marketplace and Best Buy Ads initiatives, and lapping a favorable indirect tax settlement received in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. These increases were partially offset by lower Best Buy Health expense.

Domestic segment adjusted operating income rate increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to a favorable gross profit rate.

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 2, 2026		January 31, 2026		May 3, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,749	$	1,738	$	1,147

The increases in cash and cash equivalents from January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, were primarily due to positive operating cash flows from earnings, partially offset by dividend payments and capital expenditures.

Cash Flows

Cash flows were as follows ($ in millions):

Financing activities	(202)		(305)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	-		4
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	13	$	(433)

Operating Activities

The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by higher cash outflows from accounts payable in the prior year due to the timing and volume of inventory purchases and payments.

Investing Activities

The decrease in cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by lower capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

The decrease in cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by lower 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.

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, remained relatively consistent at $287 million, $285 million and $288 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively.

Debt and Capital

As of May 2, 2026, 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 7, Debt, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, 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 2, 2026		May 3, 2025
Total cost of shares repurchased	$	-	$	100
Average price per share	$	-	$	64.39
Total number of shares repurchased	-		1.6
Regular quarterly cash dividend per share	$	0.96	$	0.95
Cash dividends declared and paid	$	202	$	202

There were no shares repurchased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

Cash dividends declared and paid remained effectively unchanged in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, as the increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend per share was offset by fewer shares outstanding.

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 2, 2026, 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 2026. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, 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 January 31, 2026. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of fiscal 2026.

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 real GDP growth, inflation, recession, consumer confidence, employment levels, effects of the government closures, cost of living, uncertainty over the availability of government benefits, tax rates, availability of consumer financing, interest rates, housing market conditions, foreign currency exchange rates, the price of oil, gas and other commodities and other macroeconomic trends); geopolitical pressures (including issues related to trade routes, political instability and divisiveness, the potential implementation of more restrictive trade policies, tariff increases and/or volatility, the realignment of alliances or the renegotiation of existing trade agreements); 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, in the provision of delivery speed and options and with the strategic use of artificial intelligence); our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and changes in market compensation rates; 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 identify, manage and execute enterprise-wide strategies, such as strategic ventures, alliances or acquisitions; our ability to effectively manage our infrastructure, real estate portfolio and market segmentation strategy; interruptions and other factors affecting our supply chain (impacting our stores or other aspects of our operations); our utilization of third-party vendors for certain aspects of our operations; risks associated with the products we sell, including those products sold on our Marketplace platforms and products under our exclusive brand labels; 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; 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 corporate responsibility and sustainability matters); risks arising from our international activities (including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates); failure to meet any financial performance guidance or other forward-looking statements; failure to effectively manage our costs; our dependence on cash flows and net earnings generated during the fourth fiscal quarter; economic or regulatory developments that might affect our ability to provide attractive promotional financing; constraints in the banking and capital markets; and changes in our credit ratings. 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 January 31, 2026, 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. Certain 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 January 31, 2026, for further information regarding our interest rate swaps.

As of May 2, 2026, we had $2.0 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 $1.5 billion. As of May 2, 2026, a 50-basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $2 million increase in net interest income during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and conversely a 50-basis point decrease in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $2 million decrease in net interest income during the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

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, and Note 5, Derivative Instruments, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, for additional information regarding these instruments.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations were primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar compared to the prior-year period. We estimate that the foreign exchange rate fluctuations had a favorable impact on our revenue of approximately $23 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The estimated impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 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 2, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at May 2, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
