“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.
