Basis of Presentation 1. 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 United States (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Historically, we have generated a large proportion of our revenue and earnings in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. 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, 2020. The first six months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 included 26 weeks.

In order to align our fiscal reporting periods and comply with statutory filing requirements, we consolidate the financial results of our Mexico operations on a one-month lag. Our policy is to accelerate recording the effect of events occurring in the lag period that significantly affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. No such events were identified for the reported periods.

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from August 1, 2020, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for the reported periods.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") as a pandemic. Except where otherwise directed by state and local authorities, we made the decision for the health and safety of our customers and employees to move our stores to a contactless, curbside-only operating model in the fiscal first quarter. We also temporarily suspended in-home delivery, repair and consultation services. At the beginning of the fiscal second quarter, we started welcoming customers back into our stores by offering an in-store consultation service to customers, by appointment only. On June 15, 2020, we began allowing customers to shop without an appointment at more than 800 stores across the U.S. As of June 22, 2020, almost all of our stores were open for shopping. We continue to offer contactless curbside pickup and in-store consultations for customers who prefer to shop that way.

In light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 and to maximize liquidity, we suspended all share repurchases. We also executed a short-term draw on the full amount of our $1.25 billion five year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) on March 19, 2020, that remained outstanding until July 27, 2020, when the Facility was repaid in full. See Note 4, Debt, for additional information on the Facility.

On March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which among other things, contains provisions for deferral of the employer portion of social security taxes incurred through the end of calendar 2020 and an employee retention credit, a refundable payroll credit for 50% of wages and health benefits paid to employees not providing services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the CARES Act, we are deferring qualified payroll taxes and claimed the employee retention credit, which was treated as a government subsidy to offset related operating expenses. Based on our analysis of the CARES Act, we reduced our SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended August 1, 2020, by $12 million and $81 million, respectively, for employee retention credits.

The COVID-19 pandemic remains a rapidly evolving situation. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak within the markets in which we operate, government stimulus efforts, the economic impacts of sustained high unemployment levels, ongoing shut-downs that vary by industry and the related impacts on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain.

(1)Balance sheet location is determined by the length to maturity from the current period-end date.

(2)Valued at quoted market prices.

(3)Valued at face value plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

(4)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 6, Derivative Instruments, for additional information.

(5)Valued using select mutual fund performance that trade with sufficient frequency and volume to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of 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):

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we made the decision to phase out our Pacific Sales tradename in our U.S. Best Buy stores over the coming years. Consequently, we reclassified the tradename from an indefinite-lived intangible asset to a definite-lived intangible asset and have no indefinite-lived intangible assets remaining as of August 1, 2020. The carrying value of the tradename was $18 million as of February 1, 2020, and August 3, 2019, respectively, and was recorded within Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Instruments [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments 6. 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. We also use interest rate swaps to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our $650 million principal amount of notes due March 15, 2021 (“2021 Notes”), and our $500 million 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.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we entered into Treasury Rate Lock ("T-Lock") contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $325 million to hedge the base interest rate variability on a portion of a potential refinancing of our maturing 2021 Notes. The T-Lock contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The fair value of the T-Lock contracts is

recognized as an asset or liability with an offsetting position in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The T-Lock contracts would be cash settled to the extent new debt is issued at which time a pro-rata amount from AOCI will be released and recorded in Interest expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as interest is accrued.

Our derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges, interest rate swaps and cash flow hedges are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. See Note 2, Fair Value Measurements, for gross fair values of our outstanding derivative instruments and corresponding fair value classifications.

Contingencies 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.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]  
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 United States (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Historically, we have generated a large proportion of our revenue and earnings in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. 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, 2020. The first six months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 included 26 weeks.

In order to align our fiscal reporting periods and comply with statutory filing requirements, we consolidate the financial results of our Mexico operations on a one-month lag. Our policy is to accelerate recording the effect of events occurring in the lag period that significantly affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. No such events were identified for the reported periods.

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from August 1, 2020, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for the reported periods.

COVID-19 COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") as a pandemic. Except where otherwise directed by state and local authorities, we made the decision for the health and safety of our customers and employees to move our stores to a contactless, curbside-only operating model in the fiscal first quarter. We also temporarily suspended in-home delivery, repair and consultation services. At the beginning of the fiscal second quarter, we started welcoming customers back into our stores by offering an in-store consultation service to customers, by appointment only. On June 15, 2020, we began allowing customers to shop without an appointment at more than 800 stores across the U.S. As of June 22, 2020, almost all of our stores were open for shopping. We continue to offer contactless curbside pickup and in-store consultations for customers who prefer to shop that way.

In light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 and to maximize liquidity, we suspended all share repurchases. We also executed a short-term draw on the full amount of our $1.25 billion five year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) on March 19, 2020, that remained outstanding until July 27, 2020, when the Facility was repaid in full. See Note 4, Debt, for additional information on the Facility.

On March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which among other things, contains provisions for deferral of the employer portion of social security taxes incurred through the end of calendar 2020 and an employee retention credit, a refundable payroll credit for 50% of wages and health benefits paid to employees not providing services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the CARES Act, we are deferring qualified payroll taxes and claimed the employee retention credit, which was treated as a government subsidy to offset related operating expenses. Based on our analysis of the CARES Act, we reduced our SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended August 1, 2020, by $12 million and $81 million, respectively, for employee retention credits.

The COVID-19 pandemic remains a rapidly evolving situation. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak within the markets in which we operate, government stimulus efforts, the economic impacts of sustained high unemployment levels, ongoing shut-downs that vary by industry and the related impacts on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain.
