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):

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):

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):

(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):

(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.

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):

Our restructuring accrual liability related to termination benefits of $30 million as of May 2, 2026, reflects expected future cash payments primarily during fiscal 2028.

3. Goodwill

Goodwill balances by segment were as follows ($ in millions):

(1) In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $118 million within the Domestic segment for the Best Buy Health reporting unit.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

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

(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. These nonrecurring fair value remeasurements were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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):

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

5. Derivative Instruments

The net notional amounts of our derivative instruments were as follows ($ in millions):

Effects of our fair value hedges included in Interest expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as follows ($ in millions):

6. Debt

Short-Term Debt

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the “Five-Year Facility Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks that expires in April 2030. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, or May 3, 2025.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following ($ in millions):

Fair Value and Future Maturities

See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for the fair value of long-term debt. The 2028 Notes mature in fiscal 2029 and the 2030 Notes mature in fiscal 2031.

7. Revenue

We generate most 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):

(1) Receivables are recorded net of allowances for expected credit losses of $13 million, $17 million and $15 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively.

During the first three months of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026, $569 million and $614 million of revenue was recognized, respectively, that was included in the contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective periods.

Estimated revenue from our contract liability balances expected to be recognized in future periods if the performance of the contract is expected to have an initial duration of more than one year is as follows ($ in millions):

See Note 11, Segments, for information on our revenue by segment and category.

8. Earnings per Share

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

9. Repurchase of Common Stock

On February 28, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a $5.0 billion share repurchase program. The program had $3.0 billion remaining available for repurchases as of May 2, 2026. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under this authorization.

There were no share repurchases during the three months ended May 2, 2026. Information regarding the shares we repurchased and retired in the prior year was as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

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.

11. Segments

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.

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).

Revenue information by segment and category was as follows ($ in millions):

(1) Amounts for the three months ended May 3, 2025, have been recast to conform to the current presentation. See Revenue Category Reclassification, above, for additional information.

Adjusted operating income by segment and the reconciliation to consolidated earnings before income tax expense and equity in loss of affiliates were as follows ($ in millions):

(1) Domestic segment Adjusted operating income includes certain operations that are based in foreign tax jurisdictions and primarily relate to sourcing products into the U.S.

(2) Adjusted SG&A excludes amortization of definite-lived intangible assets associated with acquisitions.

Cash flow and other expense information by segment was as follows ($ in millions):

Asset information by segment was as follows ($ in millions):

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

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

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, total comparable sales, net earnings or cash flows. Revenue mix and comparable sales by revenue category for the three months ended May 3, 2025, have been recast to conform with this reclassification.

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).

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.

Results of Operations

Consolidated Results

Selected consolidated financial data was as follows ($ 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 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.

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.

Segment Performance Summary

Domestic Segment

Selected financial data for the Domestic segment was as follows ($ in millions):

(1) Comparable online sales are included in the comparable sales calculation.

(2) Represents segment Adjusted SG&A and segment Adjusted operating income in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting.

(3) Adjusted SG&A as a % of revenue is calculated as Domestic segment Adjusted SG&A divided by Domestic segment Revenue.

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

Domestic segment revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily driven by comparable sales growth in gaming, computing, mobile phones and services, partially offset by a comparable sales decline in appliances. Online revenue of $2.6 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 increased 1.4% on a comparable basis.

Domestic segment revenue mix percentages and comparable sales percentage changes by revenue category were as follows:

(1) Revenue mix and comparable sales by revenue category for the three months ended May 3, 2025, have been recast to conform to the current presentation. See Revenue Category Reclassification, above, for additional information.

Notable comparable sales changes by revenue category were as follows:

• Computing and Mobile Phones: The 4.2% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by computing and mobile phones.
• Consumer Electronics: The 2.7% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by home theater, headphones and portable speakers.
• Appliances: The 13.6% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by large appliances.
• 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.

International Segment

Selected financial data for the International segment was as follows ($ in millions):

(1) Represents segment Adjusted SG&A and segment Adjusted operating income in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting.

(2) Adjusted SG&A as a % of revenue is calculated as International segment Adjusted SG&A divided by International segment Revenue.

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

International segment revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily driven by comparable sales growth of 4.7% and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. The comparable sales growth was primarily driven by mobile phones, gaming and digital imaging.

International segment revenue mix percentages and comparable sales percentage changes by revenue category were as follows:

(1) Revenue mix and comparable sales by revenue category for the three months ended May 3, 2025, have been recast to conform to the current presentation. See Revenue Category Reclassification, above, for additional information.

Notable comparable sales changes by revenue category were as follows:

• Computing and Mobile Phones: The 6.4% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by mobile phones and computing.
• Consumer Electronics: The 2.0% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by digital imaging, partially offset by a comparable sales decline in home theater.
• Appliances: The 8.3% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by large appliances.
• Services: The 2.5% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by growth in marketplace and our membership programs, partially offset by a comparable sales decline in digital content.
• Entertainment: The 19.2% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by gaming.

International segment gross profit rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to lower product margin rates.

International segment adjusted SG&A increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to the negative impact of foreign exchange rates and higher depreciation expense.

International segment adjusted operating income rate increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to increased leverage from higher sales volumes, which resulted in a favorable adjusted SG&A rate, largely offset by an unfavorable gross profit rate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliations of consolidated SG&A, consolidated operating income, consolidated effective tax rate and consolidated diluted EPS (GAAP financial measures) to consolidated adjusted SG&A, consolidated adjusted operating income, consolidated adjusted effective tax rate and consolidated adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP financial measures), respectively, were as follows ($ in millions, except per share amounts):

For additional information regarding the nature of certain charges discussed below, refer to Note 2, Restructuring, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(1) Represents the non-cash amortization of definite-lived intangible assets associated with acquisitions, including customer relationships and tradenames.

(2) Amounts for the three months ended May 2, 2026, primarily related to subsequent adjustments to a labor and store optimization restructuring initiative that commenced in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Charges for the three months ended May 3, 2025, primarily related to a restructuring initiative within our Best Buy Health business that commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

(3) The non-GAAP adjustments primarily relate to the U.S. As such, the forecasted annual income tax 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.

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):

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):

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.

We have a $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the “Five-Year Facility Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks that expires in April 2030. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, or May 3, 2025.

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):

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.

New or Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of applicable new or recently issued accounting pronouncements, including our assessment of the impact on our financial statements, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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.
