Best Buy Co Inc: Form 10-Q for the period ended May 3, 2025

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 February 1, 2025 (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. 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, websites and call centers 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, websites and call centers operating for at least 14 full months. Revenue from online sales is included in comparable sales and represents sales initiated on a website or app, regardless of whether customers choose to pick up product in store, curbside, at an alternative pick-up location or take delivery direct to their homes. 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 also includes credit card revenue, gift card breakage, commercial sales and sales of merchandise to wholesalers and dealers, as applicable. 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, is excluded from comparable sales until at least 14 full months after reopening. Comparable sales excludes 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.

Consistent with our comparable sales policy, revenue from Best Buy Express locations rebranded as a result of our previously announced collaboration with Bell Canada is excluded from our comparable sales calculation until locations have been operating for at least 14 full months.

We believe comparable sales is a meaningful supplemental metric for investors to evaluate revenue performance resulting from growth in existing stores, websites and call centers 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.

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 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, price-fixing settlements, gains and losses on sales 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 operating income, consolidated adjusted effective tax rate and consolidated adjusted diluted EPS in the presented periods.

Tariffs

We continue to face significant uncertainty regarding the scope, timing and magnitude of tariffs that may affect the products we sell and the consequent financial impact on our business. While we directly import approximately 2% to 3% of our overall assortment, our complex supply chain is heavily reliant on vendor imports from China, which we currently estimate make up approximately 30% to 35% of the products we purchase, compared to 55% disclosed within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025. This is the result of vendors using production capabilities in multiple countries and leveraging their ability to flex sourcing options as the environment evolves. We currently estimate approximately 25% of the products we purchase are from the U.S. and Mexico. In conjunction with our vendors, we continue to seek to mitigate the impact of tariffs on our business and our customers.

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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.

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

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

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

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

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

Store Summary

Stores open by reportable segment were as follows:

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

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

Income Tax Expense

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

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

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 Domestic segment Adjusted SG&A and Domestic segment Adjusted operating income as reported in accordance with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, for additional information.

(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 decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily driven by comparable sales declines in the home theater, appliances and drone categories, partially offset by comparable sales growth in the computing, mobile phone and tablet categories. Online revenue of $2.6 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 2.1% on a comparable basis.

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

Notable comparable sales changes by revenue category were as follows:

Computing and Mobile Phones: The 5.8% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by computing, mobile phones and tablets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

International Segment

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

(1) Represents International segment Adjusted SG&A and International segment Adjusted operating income as reported in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2023-07. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, for additional information.

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

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

Notable comparable sales changes by revenue category were as follows:

Computing and Mobile Phones: The 2.3% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by computing.

Consumer Electronics: The 1.5% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by home automation.

Appliances: The 2.1% comparable sales decline was driven by both large and small appliances.

Entertainment: The 17.7% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by gaming and drones.

Services: The 2.2% comparable sales growth was driven primarily by growth in our membership programs.

International segment gross profit rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to lower product margin rates and unfavorable supply chain costs.

International segment adjusted SG&A decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higher employee compensation expense and expenses associated with Best Buy Express locations that opened after the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

International segment adjusted operating income rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to an unfavorable gross profit rate.

Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

For additional information regarding the nature of charges discussed below, refer to Note 2, Restructuring, and Note 3, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, 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, tradenames and developed technology assets.

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

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

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

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

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

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

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

Cash Flows

Cash flows were as follows ($ in millions):

Operating Activities

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

Investing Activities

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

Financing Activities

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

Sources of Liquidity

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

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

Restricted Cash

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

Debt and Capital

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

Share Repurchases and Dividends

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

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

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

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

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

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

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

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

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

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.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

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

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

Interest Rate Risk

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

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

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

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

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

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

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

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