Basis of Presentation Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “Best Buy,” “we,” “us” and “our” in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers 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 February 3, 2024. The first three months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 included 13 weeks. In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from May 4, 2024, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which enhances reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through expanded disclosures around significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and expect to include updated segment expense disclosures in our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which requires disclosure of specific categories meeting a quantitative threshold within the income tax rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU, which can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and expect to include updated income tax disclosures in our fiscal 2026 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 included in Accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $ 505 million, $ 426 million and $ 490 million as of May 4, 2024, February 3, 2024, and April 29, 2023, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data). 10 Table of Contents Recurring Fair Value Measurements Financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value were as follows ($ in millions): Fair Value at Balance Sheet Location (1) Fair Value Hierarchy May 4, 2024 February 3, 2024 April 29, 2023 Assets Money market funds (2) Cash and cash equivalents Level 1 $ 234 $ 330 $ 133 Time deposits (3) Cash and cash equivalents Level 2 110 60 115 Money market funds (2) Other current assets Level 1 184 182 200 Time deposits (3) Other current assets Level 2 51 50 40 Marketable securities that fund deferred compensation (4) Other assets Level 1 49 48 46 Liabilities Interest rate swap derivative instruments (5) Long-term liabilities Level 2 27 11 11 (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. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of cash, certain restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for other investments held at cost are not readily available, but we estimate that the carrying values for these investments approximate their fair values. 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): May 4, 2024 February 3, 2024 April 29, 2023 Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Long-term debt (1) $ 994 $ 1,123 $ 1,022 $ 1,139 $ 1,023 $ 1,139 (1) Excludes debt discou nts, issuance costs and finance lease obligations. 5. Derivative Instruments We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain risks by using foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of Canadian dollar exchange rate fluctuations on a portion of our net investment in our Canadian operations and by using interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk on our $ 500 million of principal amount of notes due October 1, 2028. In addition, we use foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to recognized receivable and payable balances denominated in non-functional currencies. Our derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges and fair value hedges are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. When significant, the gross fair values of our outstanding derivative instruments and corresponding fair value classifications are included in Note 4, Fair Value Measurements .

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.
