Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Best Buy,” “we,” “us”, “our” and the “company” in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ~~refers~~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 February 1, 2025. The first ~~three~~six months of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 each included 1326 weeks.

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from ~~May~~August 32, 2025, 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 December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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.

In November 2024, the FASB issued 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.

Recently Enacted Tax Legislation

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OB3”). The OB3 extends key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, but not limited to, domestic research expensing, 100% bonus depreciation on tangible property and modifications to the international tax framework. The provisions will not have a material impact on our income tax expense.

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 $~~569~~872 million, $398 million and $~~505~~729 million as of ~~May 3~~August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025, and ~~May~~August 43, 2024, 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 ~~total~~totals shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows ($ in millions):

(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~~second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, we recorded asset impairments and other costs ~~related~~as toa ~~our~~result ~~Best~~of ~~Buy~~restructuring ~~Health~~initiatives ~~Optimization~~that commenced in the first and ~~China~~second ~~Sourcing~~quarters ~~Initiative~~of fiscal 2026. These fair value remeasurements were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, 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):

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. The gross fair values of our outstanding derivative instruments and corresponding fair value classifications are included in Note 4, Fair Value Measurements.12

6. Debt

Short-Term Debt

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

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 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. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement as of ~~May~~August 32, 2025, or the Previous Facility as of February 1, 2025, or ~~May~~August 43, 2024.

The interest rate under the Five-Year Facility Agreement is variable and is determined at our option as: (i) the sum of (a) the greatest of (1) U.S. Bank National Association’s prime rate, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 0.5%, and (3) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”) for an interest period of one month plus 1%, and (b) a variable margin rate (the “ABR Margin”); or (ii) Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable interest period plus a variable margin rate (the “Term SOFR Margin”). In addition, a facility fee is assessed on the commitment amount. The ABR Margin, Term SOFR Margin and the facility fee are based upon our current senior unsecured debt rating. Under the Five-Year Facility Agreement, the ABR Margin ranges from 0.000% to 0.015%, the Term SOFR Margin ranges from 0.565% to 1.015%, and the facility fee ranges from 0.060% to 0.110%. The Five-Year Facility Agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict our and certain of our subsidiaries’ abilities to incur liens on certain assets; make material changes in corporate structure or the nature of our business; dispose of material assets; engage in certain mergers, consolidations and certain other fundamental changes; or engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

The Five-Year Facility Agreement also contains a covenant that requires the registrant to maintain a maximum quarterly cash flow leverage ratio. The Five-Year Facility Agreement contains customary default provisions, including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due and failure to comply with covenants.

8. Earnings per Share

We compute our basic earnings per share based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and our diluted earnings per share based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued as calculated using the treasury stock method.

Reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share were 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.

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 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~~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 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.

17While we directly import approximately 2% to 3% of our overall assortment, the complex global supply chain for consumer electronics is heavily reliant on vendor imports from China, which we 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 estimate approximately 25% of the products we purchase are from the U.S. and Mexico, with the remaining amount from other countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea and Malaysia.

(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.

18We 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 traditional Domestic Best Buy store count by approximately 5 to 10 stores in the normal course of operations. We also plan to close select non-traditional Domestic store locations in conjunction with our restructuring initiative that commenced in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. See Note 2, Restructuring, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Income tax expense decreased to $87 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to $181 million in the first six months 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, as well as lower pre-tax income. ETR decreased to 18.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to 25.3% in the first six months 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

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

			May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024

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~~increase in cash and cash equivalents from ~~May~~August 43, 2024, was primarily due to ~~dividend~~positive ~~payments,~~cash ~~capital~~flows ~~expenditures~~from ~~and~~operations, ~~share~~primarily ~~repurchases~~driven by earnings, partially offset by ~~positive~~dividend ~~cash flows from operations~~payments, ~~primarily~~capital ~~driven~~expenditures byand ~~earnings~~share repurchases.

Operating Activities

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

Investing Activities

~~Cash~~The increase in cash used in investing activities ~~remained relatively flat~~ in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal 2026 was primarily due to the disposal of a component of our Best Buy Health business.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities in the first ~~quarter~~six months 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~~August 2, 2025, or the Previous Facility as of February 1, 2025, or ~~May 4~~August 3, 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~~257 million, $290 million and $~~313~~311 million as of ~~May 3~~August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025, and ~~May 4~~August 3, 2024, respectively. ~~While~~The ~~restricted cash has remained relatively flat from February 1, 2025, the~~ decrease in restricted cash from ~~May~~February 41, ~~2024~~2025, was primarily due to releases of product protection reserves based on claims and purchasing behaviors of customers participating in our membership offerings. The decrease in restricted cash from August 3, 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in cash for self-insurance liabilities and releases of product protection reserves.

Debt and Capital

As of ~~May 3~~August 2, 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.

The total cost of shares repurchased ~~increased~~decreased in the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal 2026, ~~primarily~~due to a decrease in the average price per share and a decrease in the volume of repurchases. The total cost of shares repurchased increased in the first six months of fiscal 2026, 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~~decreased ~~flat~~during in the ~~first~~second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, due to fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by increases in the regular quarterly cash dividend per share.

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~~August 2, 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.27

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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~~August 2, 2025, we had $1.47 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 $01.92 billion. As of ~~May~~August 32, 2025, a 50-basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $56 million increase in interest income, and conversely a 50-basis point decrease in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $5 6 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~~second quarter and first six months 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. WeThe ~~estimate~~estimated ~~that~~impact ~~the~~of foreign ~~currency~~ exchange rate fluctuations on our revenue was not significant in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and had an unfavorable impact ~~on our revenue~~ of ~~approximately~~ $29 31 million in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal 2026. The estimated ~~impact~~impacts of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net earnings in the ~~first~~second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 ~~was~~were 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 3~~August 2, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at ~~May 3~~August 2, 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~~August 2, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
