  • FY27 outlook reiterated with solid targets: Management maintained full-year FY27 guidance, including $41.2–$42.1 billion in revenue and adjusted diluted EPS of $6.30–$6.60, signaling confidence in ongoing operations.

Insights

Q1 beat expectations, margins improved, guidance held steady.

Best Buy delivered Q1 FY27 revenue of $8.94 billion with enterprise comparable sales up 2.0%, reversing last year’s decline. Operating income margin expanded to 4.1%, and diluted EPS increased to $1.31 with adjusted EPS at $1.28.

Management maintained FY27 guidance for revenue of $41.2–$42.1 billion and adjusted EPS of $6.30–$6.60, and guided Q2 adjusted operating margin around 3.9%. This suggests confidence in demand, supported by growth in Best Buy Ads, Marketplace, and stronger categories like gaming and computing.

Cash from operations improved to $375 million in the quarter, and the company returned $202 million via dividends, with a planned quarterly dividend of $0.96 per share payable on July 9, 2026. Planned FY27 capital expenditures of about $750 million indicate ongoing investment in stores, technology, and services.

Orderly CEO transition announced alongside solid financials.

Along with the results, Best Buy announced that CEO Corie Barry will step down later in 2026. Jason Bonfig, currently Chief Customer, Product and Fulfillment Officer, is designated as incoming CEO effective November 1, 2026, providing a defined succession timeline.

Barry framed the handover as timed to current business momentum, while Bonfig outlined four priorities spanning retail, media and advertising, technology, customer experience, and culture. The board’s decision to name an internal successor may support continuity as the company scales newer profit streams like Best Buy Ads and Marketplace.

The filing does not indicate governance disputes; instead it emphasizes strategic focus and execution. Subsequent disclosures in future periods can show how the new leadership team aligns investments, particularly around services and digital initiatives, with the reiterated FY27 financial targets.

Dividends paid $202M Cash returned to shareholders via dividends in Q1 FY27
comparable sales financial
"Enterprise comparable sales % change 1 | 2.0 % | (0.7) %"
"Comparable sales" are the total sales from stores or products that have been open for a certain period, usually the same time last year or last quarter. They help show whether a business is growing by comparing similar locations or products over time, much like checking if your favorite store's sales are going up compared to previous years.
adjusted diluted EPS financial
"Adjusted diluted EPS Increased 11% to $1.28"
Adjusted diluted EPS is a company’s profit per share after adding back or removing one-time items (like restructuring costs or gains) and dividing by the number of shares including potential shares from options and convertible securities. Investors use it as a cleaner view of ongoing earnings—like looking at a car’s regular fuel efficiency rather than a trip boosted by downhill coasting—to judge underlying performance and compare companies without temporary distortions.
revenue category reclassification financial
"Revenue Category Reclassification addressed in the release and furnished as Exhibit 99.2"
restructuring charges financial
"The company incurred a $9 million reduction to restructuring charges versus $109 million of restructuring charges last year."
Restructuring charges are costs that a company pays when it changes how it operates, like closing factories or laying off employees. These expenses are often one-time and happen to help the company become more efficient in the long run. They matter because they can affect the company's profits and how investors see its future prospects.
omni-channel financial
"strategy to strengthen our position in retail as a leading omni-channel destination for technology"
Omni-channel is a business approach that connects all ways a customer can interact or buy—such as websites, mobile apps, physical stores, social media and call centers—so the experience feels seamless no matter which path they choose. For investors, omni-channel matters because it can increase sales, customer loyalty and operational efficiency by making it easier to buy and by collecting better data on behavior; think of it as a coordinated orchestra where every instrument helps sell more smoothly and predictably.
Best Buy Ads and Marketplace financial
"strong performance in our Best Buy Ads and Marketplace initiatives"
Revenue $8.94B
Enterprise comparable sales 2.0%
Diluted EPS $1.31
Adjusted diluted EPS $1.28
Guidance

Best Buy reiterated FY27 guidance for revenue of $41.2–$42.1 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $6.30–$6.60, and indicated an expected Q2 adjusted operating income rate of approximately 3.9%.

“Today we are pleased to report better-than-expected results for the first quarter,” said Corie Barry, Best Buy CEO. “Our comparable sales grew 2% versus last year, higher than our outlook, with positive comps across the majority of our major product categories and strong performance in our Best Buy Ads and Marketplace initiatives. We also drove operating income rate expansion and EPS growth.”

Barry continued, “Thanks to our incredibly dedicated employees, we are delivering on our strategy to strengthen our position in retail as a leading omni-channel destination for technology while at the same time scaling new profit streams like Best Buy Ads and Marketplace that we expect to provide considerable benefit over time.”

“With this momentum, I believe it is the right time to transition the leadership of Best Buy, and step down as CEO later this year,” continued Barry. “With his unmatched experience and focus on the customer, I know Jason Bonfig is the right person to take Best Buy into its next phase, which is outlined by his four priorities.”

“I look forward to working closely with our teams to build on the progress we are making, specifically focusing on four areas to grow our business: (1) advancing Best Buy as a Retail, Media and Advertising, and Technology company; (2) expanding and growing our reach; (3) elevating the Best Buy experience; and (4) being a human-




powered, customer-focused company,” said Jason Bonfig, Best Buy Chief Customer, Product and Fulfillment Officer and incoming CEO (effective November 1, 2026).

FY27 Financial Guidance

“We are pleased with our first quarter results and are maintaining our guidance for the year,” said Matt Bilunas, Best Buy CFO. “Comparable sales have started strong in May, with month-to-date growth up high single digits. Our comparable sales outlook for the full quarter is approximately 1.0% growth as we start to lap last year’s very successful gaming launch in June. We expect our Q2 adjusted operating income rate to be approximately 3.9%, which is flat to last year.”

The company is reiterating the following full-year FY27 financial guidance provided on March 3, 2026:

Revenue of $41.2 billion to $42.1 billion
Comparable sales % change1 of (1.0%) to 1.0%
Adjusted operating income rate2 of 4.3% to 4.4%
Adjusted effective income tax rate2 of approximately 25.5%
Adjusted diluted EPS2 of $6.30 to $6.60
Capital expenditures of approximately $750 million

Domestic Segment Q1 FY27 Results

Domestic Revenue
Domestic revenue of $8.25 billion increased 1.5% versus last year, primarily driven by comparable sales growth of 1.8%.

From a category perspective, the largest drivers of the comparable sales growth on a weighted basis were gaming, computing, mobile phones and services. These drivers were partially offset by a decline in appliances.

Domestic online revenue of $2.62 billion increased 1.4% on a comparable basis, and as a percentage of total Domestic revenue, online revenue was flat to last year at 31.7%.

Domestic Gross Profit Rate
Domestic gross profit rate was 23.7% versus 23.5% last year. The higher gross profit rate included growth in Marketplace and Best Buy Ads, and improved financial performance from the company's traditional services offerings. The previous items were largely offset by lower product margin rates.

Domestic Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
Domestic adjusted SG&A was $1.60 billion, or 19.3% of revenue, versus $1.58 billion, or 19.4% of revenue, last year. Adjusted SG&A increased primarily due to higher expenses related to the company's Marketplace and Best Buy Ads initiatives and lapping a favorable indirect tax settlement received in Q1 FY26. The previous items were partially offset by lower Best Buy Health expense.

International Segment Q1 FY27 Results

International Revenue
International revenue of $687 million increased 7.3% versus last year. The revenue increase was primarily driven by comparable sales growth of 4.7% and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.

International Gross Profit Rate
International gross profit rate was 21.5% versus 22.0% last year. The lower gross profit rate was primarily due to lower product margin rates.

International Adjusted SG&A
International adjusted SG&A was $143 million, or 20.8% of revenue, versus $137 million, or 21.4% of revenue, last year. The higher adjusted SG&A was primarily driven by the negative impact of foreign exchange rates and higher depreciation expense.

2



Restructuring Charges

The company incurred a $9 million reduction to restructuring charges versus $109 million of restructuring charges last year. The prior year charges were primarily associated with a restructuring initiative within the company's Best Buy Health business that commenced in Q1 FY26.

Income Taxes
The Q1 FY27 effective tax rate was 26.9% versus 8.6% last year. The adjusted effective tax rate of 27.0% was flat to last year. The higher effective tax rate was primarily driven by the restructuring charges in Q1 FY26 related to the Best Buy Health business.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

In Q1 FY27, the company returned a total of $202 million to shareholders through dividends. The company still expects to spend approximately $300 million on share repurchases during FY27.

Today, the company announced its board of directors has authorized the payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.96 per common share. The regular quarterly dividend is payable on July 9, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 18, 2026.

Revenue Category Reclassification

Beginning in Q1 FY27, the company reclassified certain amounts within its 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.

Prior-period revenue mix and comparable sales by revenue category included herein have been recast to conform with this reclassification. Recast revenue category information for FY25 and FY26, as well as for each quarter within such fiscal years, is attached as Exhibit 99.2 in the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 28, 2026, and is also available on the company's investor relations website at www.investors.bestbuy.com.

Conference Call

Best Buy is scheduled to conduct an earnings conference call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (7:00 a.m. Central Time) on May 28, 2026. A webcast of the call is expected to be available at www.investors.bestbuy.com, both live and after the call.

Notes:
(1) 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. For additional information on comparable sales, please see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and available at www.investors.bestbuy.com.

(2) A reconciliation of the projected adjusted operating income rate, adjusted effective income tax rate, and adjusted diluted EPS, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. These GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as restructuring charges; price-fixing settlements; goodwill and acquired intangible asset impairments; certain long-lived asset impairments; 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. Historically,
3



the company has excluded these items from non-GAAP financial measures. The company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures and may also exclude other items that may arise (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments, such as a decision to exit part of the business or reaching settlement of a legal dispute, are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements:

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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
($ in millions, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited and subject to reclassification)
The following information provides reconciliations of the most comparable consolidated financial measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP financial measures) to presented consolidated adjusted financial measures (non-GAAP financial measures). The company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating current period performance and in assessing future performance. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, presented 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 the company believes this provides greater clarity to management and investors. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for, the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the company’s financial statements and other publicly filed reports. Non-GAAP financial measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
