1. Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Best Buy,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “company” in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refer to Best Buy Co., Inc. and, as applicable, its consolidated subsidiaries.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
A large proportion of our revenue and earnings is generated in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. The interim financial statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. The first three months of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026 each included 13 weeks. Unless otherwise noted, references to years in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements relate to fiscal years, not calendar years.
In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from May 2, 2026, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified.
Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which requires disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the ASU and expect to include updated expense disclosures in our fiscal 2028 Form 10-K.
Supply Chain Financing
We have a supply chain financing program with an independent financial institution, whereby some of our suppliers have the opportunity to receive accounts payable settlements early, at a discount, facilitated by the financial institution. Our liability associated with the funded participation in the program, which is primarily included in Accounts payable on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $ 861 million, $ 600 million and $ 569 million as of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, respectively.
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reconciled to the totals shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows ($ in millions):
May 2, 2026 January 31, 2026 May 3, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,749 $ 1,738 $ 1,147
Restricted cash included in Other current assets 287 285 288
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 2,036 $ 2,023 $ 1,435
Amounts included in restricted cash are primarily restricted to cover product protection plans provided under our membership offerings and self-insurance liabilities.

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):

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.

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;
