Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

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 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 3, 2018. The first three months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 included 13 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 May 6, 2018, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.

Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases, and has since issued additional ASUs to further clarify or add options to the issued guidance. The new guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among companies by requiring most leases to be included on the balance sheet and by expanding disclosure requirements. Based on the effective dates, we expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 using the recently-proposed prospective method and have begun implementing required upgrades to our existing lease systems. While we expect adoption to lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheet and an increase to our footnote disclosures related to leases, we are still evaluating the impact on our consolidated statement of earnings. We also expect that adoption of the new standard will require changes to our internal controls over financial reporting.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we prospectively adopted the following ASUs, all of which had an immaterial impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

• ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

• ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging

• ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we also adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue and supersedes most revenue recognition guidance. It introduces a five-step process for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards under previous guidance. We elected the modified retrospective method of adoption, which we applied to contracts not completed at the date of adoption. Under this method, we recorded an increase to opening retained earnings of $73 million, net of tax, due to the cumulative impact of these changes. The impact was primarily related to the timing of revenue recognition related to our gift cards, the sale of certain software licenses and our loyalty programs. We did not make any adjustment to prior period financial statements. We expect the impact of adoption to be immaterial to our revenue, net earnings

8

and cash flows on an ongoing basis. As part of the adoption, we also modified certain control procedures and processes, none of which had a material effect on our internal controls over financial reporting.

The following table reconciles the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet line items impacted by the adoption of this standard on February 4, 2018 ($ in millions):

	February 3, 2018 As Reported		ASU 2014-09 Adjustment on February 4, 2018			February 4, 2018 Adjusted

Amounts included in restricted cash are pledged as collateral or restricted to use for general liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

All goodwill and intangible asset balances relate to our Domestic segment. As of May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017, the carrying amount of goodwill was $425 million, respectively, net of $675 million of cumulative impairment losses, respectively. The carrying amount of indefinite-lived tradenames included within Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $18 million as of May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively.

2. Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of merchandise products and services, both as a principal and as an agent. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed below as variable consideration. We generate all of our operating revenue from contracts with customers. Our revenue excludes sales and usage-based taxes collected.

Revenue from merchandise product sales and services is reported net of sales refunds, which includes an estimate of future returns and contract cancellations based on historical refund rates, with a corresponding reduction to cost of sales. There is inherent judgment in estimating future refunds as they are susceptible to factors outside of our influence. However, we have significant experience in estimating the amount of refunds, based primarily on historical data. Our refund liability for sales returns was $68 million at May 5, 2018, which is included in Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and represents the expected value of the aggregate refunds that will be due to our customers. We also have a corresponding asset included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that represents the inventory we expect to be returned, valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of May 5, 2018, this amount was $46 million.

For revenue transactions that involve more than one performance obligation, we defer the revenue associated with any unsatisfied performance obligation until the obligation is satisfied, i.e., when control of a product is transferred to the customer or a service is completed. For such contracts, we allocate revenue and any discounts to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or, when directly observable selling prices are not available, we generally use an expected cost-plus margin approach.

Our contract liabilities primarily relate to product merchandise not yet delivered to customers; unredeemed gift cards; services not yet completed; services technical support contracts, where performance is satisfied over the duration of the contract; and options that provide a material right to customers, such as our customer loyalty programs. Most of our contract liabilities have a duration of one year or less, except our services technical support contracts, which may have a duration of up to three years. We do not have any material contract assets.

The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from our contracts with customers, which reflects the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of May 5, 2018, and February 4, 2018 ($ in millions):

(1) We have elected to exclude unsatisfied performance obligations from contract liability balances with a duration of one year or less. The estimated transaction price disclosed above also does not include amounts of variable consideration attributable to contracts where the consideration is constrained at May 5, 2018. Further information about our forms of variable consideration are disclosed below.

We apply a practical expedient to expense direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

See Note 10, Segments, for a disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment and product category, which represents how our chief operating decision maker reviews information internally to evaluate our financial performance and to make resource allocation and other decisions for the enterprise.

Merchandise product revenue

Merchandise product revenue is recognized when control passes, which generally occurs at a point in time when the customer completes a transaction in the store and receives the merchandise. Our payment terms are typically at the point of sale. In the case of items paid for in the store, but subsequently delivered to the customer, control passes and revenue is recognized once delivery has been completed, as we have transferred possession to the customer.

For transactions initiated online, customers choose whether to have it delivered to them (using third-party parcel delivery companies) or to collect their merchandise from one of our stores (“in-store pick up”). For items delivered directly to the customer, control passes and revenue is recognized when delivery has been completed, as title has passed and we have transferred possession to the customer. For in-store pick up, control passes and revenue is recognized once the customer has taken possession of the merchandise. Any fees charged to customers for delivery are a component of the transaction price and are recognized when delivery has been completed. We use delivery information at an individual contract level to determine when to recognize revenue for products and any related delivery fee revenue.

Generally, we are the principal to the contract as we have control of the physical merchandise products prior to transfer to the customer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. For certain sales, primarily activation-based software licenses and third-party stored-value cards, we are the sales agent providing access to the content and recognize fixed commission revenue net of amounts due to third parties who fulfill the performance obligation. For these sales, control passes upon providing access to the customer of the content.

Warranty obligations associated with the sale of our exclusive brands products are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the product’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.

Services - When we are the principal

We recognize service revenue for installation, set-up, software troubleshooting, product repair, consultation and educational classes once the service is completed, as this is when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of the service or serviced product. Payment terms are typically at the point of sale, but may also occur upon completion of the service. Our service contracts are primarily with retail customers, merchandise vendors (for factory warranty repairs) and third-party underwriters who sell extended warranty protection plans.

For technical support membership contracts, we are responsible for fulfilling the support services to customers. These contracts have terms ranging from one month to three years and typically contain multiple performance obligations. Payment is due at the start of the contract period. We have determined that our contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our payment terms is to provide customers with a simplified method of purchasing our services, not to provide customers with financing. We recognize revenue over time on a service consumption basis, an input method of measuring progress over the related contract term. This method is based on historical utilization patterns as this depicts when customers use the services provided and, accordingly, when the transfer of services occurs. There is judgment in (1) determining the level at which we apply a portfolio approach to these contracts, and (2) measuring the relative standalone selling price for performance obligations within these contracts to the extent that they are only bundled and sold to customers with other performance obligations. When direct observable evidence of the standalone selling price is not available, a cost-plus margin approach is generally used. Additionally, there is judgment in (3) assessing the pattern of delivery across multiple portfolios of customers, including measuring future progress based on historical consumption patterns. When sufficient history of consumption is unavailable, we generally recognize revenue ratably over the life of the contract.

Services - When we are the agent

We sell various hardware protection plans to customers that provide extended warranty coverage on their device purchases. Such plans have terms ranging from one month to five years. Payment is due at the point of sale. Third-party underwriters assume the risk associated with the coverage and are primarily responsible for fulfillment. We record the fixed net commissions (the amount charged to the customer less the premiums remitted to the underwriter) as revenue at a point in time when the corresponding merchandise product revenue is recognized. In addition, we are eligible to receive profit-sharing payments, a form of variable consideration, which are dependent upon the profitable performance of the portfolio. We do not share in any losses of the portfolio. We record any such profit share as revenue once the uncertainty associated with the portfolio period, which is calendar-year based, is no longer constrained using the expected value method. This

12

typically occurs when claims experience for the annual period is known in our fiscal fourth quarter, with payment of the profit share occurring in the subsequent fiscal year.

We earn fixed commissions from mobile network carriers to sell service contracts on their platforms. Revenue is recognized when control passes at a point in time upon sale of the contract and activation of the customer on the provider’s platform. The term between when we bill the content provider and when we receive payment is generally within 30 to 60 days, which is after control has passed. Activation commissions are subject to repayment to the carrier primarily due to customer cancellation for specified time periods after the sale. Commission revenue from mobile network carriers is reported net of the expected cancellations, which we estimate based on historical cancellation rates.

Credit card revenue

We offer promotional financing and credit cards issued by third-party banks that manage and directly extend credit to our customers. We provide a license to our brand and marketing services, and we facilitate credit applications in our stores and online. The banks are the sole owners of the accounts receivable generated under the program and, accordingly, we do not hold any customer receivables related to these programs and act as an agent in the financing transactions with customers. We are eligible to receive a profit share from our banking partner based on the annual performance of the program, and we receive quarterly payments based on forecasts of full-year performance. This is a form of variable consideration. We record such profit share as revenue over time using the most likely amount method, which reflects the amount earned each quarter when it is determined that the likelihood of a significant revenue reversal is not probable, which is typically quarterly. Profit-share payments occur quarterly, shortly after the end of each program quarter.

Best Buy gift cards

We sell Best Buy gift cards to our customers in our retail stores, online and through select third parties. Our gift cards do not have an expiration date. We recognize revenue from gift cards when the card is redeemed by the customer. We also recognize revenue for the portion of gift card values that is not expected to be redeemed ("breakage"). We estimate breakage based on historical patterns and take into account other factors, such as laws and regulations applicable to each jurisdiction.

We recognize gift card breakage based on the expected pattern of gift card redemptions, based on analysis of historic trends. Typically, over 90% of gift card values are redeemed within one year of issuance. There is judgment in assessing (1) the level at which we group gift cards based for analysis of breakage rates, (2) redemption patterns, and (3) the ultimate value of gift cards which we do not expect to be redeemed.

Sales incentives

We frequently offer sales incentives that entitle our customers to receive a gift card at the time of purchase or an instant savings coupon that can be redeemed towards a future purchase. For sales incentives issued to customers that are only earned in conjunction with the purchase of merchandise products or services, the sales incentives represent an option that is a material right and, accordingly, is a performance obligation in the contract. The relative standalone selling price of these sales incentives is deferred as a contract liability, based on the cards or coupons that are projected to be redeemed. We recognize revenue for this performance obligation when it is redeemed by the customer or when it is not expected to be redeemed. There is judgment in determining (1) the level at which we group incentives based on similar redemption patterns in order to estimate future redemption patterns of those groups, and (2) the ultimate number of incentives that we do not expect to be redeemed.

We also issue coupons that are not earned in conjunction with a purchase of a merchandise product or service, typically as part of targeted marketing activities. This is not a performance obligation, but is recognized as a reduction of the transaction price when redeemed by the customer.

Customer loyalty programs

We have customer loyalty programs which allow members to earn points for each qualifying purchase. Points earned enable members to receive a certificate that may be redeemed on future purchases at our Best Buy branded stores. Depending on the customer's membership level within our loyalty program, certificate expirations typically range from 2 to 12 months from the date of issuance. Our loyalty programs represent customer options that provide a material right and, accordingly, are performance obligations for each applicable contract. The relative standalone selling price of points earned by our loyalty program members is deferred and included in Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance

13

Sheets based on the percentage of points that are projected to be redeemed. We recognize revenue for this performance obligation over time when a certificate is estimated to be redeemed by the customer. There is judgment in measuring the standalone selling price of this performance obligation related to our estimate of the amount of and subsequent timing of redemptions of certificates (“certificate breakage”). We determine our certificate breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, we use a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017, by level within the fair value hierarchy as determined by the valuation techniques we used to determine the fair value ($ in millions):

14

	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value at
		May 5, 2018		February 3, 2018		April 29, 2017
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Money market funds	Level 1	$	19	$	21	$	24
Commercial paper	Level 2	—		90		260
Time deposits	Level 2	200		65		11
Short-term investments

Foreign currency derivative instruments	Level 2	3		2		7
Interest rate swap derivative instruments	Level 2	5		—		—
Time deposits	Level 2	101		101		101

Foreign currency derivative instruments	Level 2	1		8		—
Interest rate swap derivative instruments	Level 2	—		1		—
Long-term liabilities
Interest rate swap derivative instruments	Level 2	15		4		1

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Money market funds. Our money market fund investments were measured at fair value as they trade in an active market using quoted market prices and, therefore, were classified as Level 1.

Commercial paper. Our investments in commercial paper were measured using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and, therefore, were classified as Level 2.

Time deposits. Our time deposits are balances held with banking institutions that cannot be withdrawn for specified terms without a penalty. Time deposits are held at face value plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 2.

Foreign currency derivative instruments. Comprised primarily of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency swap contracts, our foreign currency derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign interest rates. Our foreign currency derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Interest rate swap derivative instruments. Our interest rate swap contracts were measured at fair value using readily observable inputs, such as the LIBOR interest rate. Our interest rate swap derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Marketable securities that fund deferred compensation. The assets that fund our deferred compensation consist of investments in mutual funds. These investments were classified as Level 1 as the shares of these mutual funds trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

15

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to our tangible fixed assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For these assets, we do not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value, except in the event of impairment. When we determine that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference is recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses and Restructuring charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for non-restructuring and restructuring charges, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value remeasurements of property and equipment impairments recorded during the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	Impairments
	Three Months Ended				Remaining Net Carrying Value(1)
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017		May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017
Property and equipment (non-restructuring)	$	2	$	5	$	—	$	—

(1) Remaining net carrying value approximates fair value. Because assets subject to long-lived asset impairment are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, certain fair value measurements presented in the table may reflect values at earlier measurement dates and may no longer represent the fair values at May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017.

All of the fair value remeasurements included in the table above were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Fixed asset fair values were derived using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model to estimate the present value of net cash flows that the asset or asset group was expected to generate. The key inputs to the DCF model generally included our forecasts of net cash generated from revenue, expenses and other significant cash outflows, such as capital expenditures, as well as an appropriate discount rate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments, other than those presented in the disclosures above, include cash, receivables, other investments, accounts payable, other payables and long-term debt. The fair values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximated 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 fair value. See Note 5, Debt, for information about the fair value of our long-term debt.

4. Restructuring Charges

Charges incurred in the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017, for our restructuring activities were $30 million and $0 million, respectively. All charges incurred in the current period related to Best Buy Mobile.

Best Buy Mobile

On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to close all of our 257 remaining Best Buy Mobile stand-alone stores in the U.S. This decision was a result of changing economics in the mobile industry since we began opening these stores in 2006, along with the integration of our mobile model into our core stores and on-line channel, which are today more economically compelling. All restructuring charges related to this plan are from continuing operations and are presented in Restructuring charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The composition of the restructuring charges we incurred for Best Buy Mobile during the three months ended May 5, 2018, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 5, 2018, were as follows ($ in millions):

	Three Months Ended		Cumulative Amount
	May 5, 2018		May 5, 2018
Property and equipment impairments	$	—	$	1
Termination benefits	1		9
Facility closure and other costs	29		29
Total restructuring charges	$	30	$	39

16

The following table summarizes our restructuring accrual activity during the three months ended May 5, 2018, related to termination benefits and facility closure and other costs associated with Best Buy Mobile ($ in millions):

	Termination Benefits		Facility Closure and Other Costs			Total
Balances at February 3, 2018	$	8	$	—		$	8
Charges	1		29			30
Cash payments	—		(26		)	(26		)
Balances at May 5, 2018	$	9	$	3		$	12

Other

We have remaining vacant space liabilities at May 5, 2018, of $13 million related to our Canadian Brand consolidation restructuring program, $11 million related to our Renew Blue restructuring program and $3 million related to our U.S. large-format store closures in fiscal 2013. We may continue to incur immaterial adjustments to these liabilities for changes in sublease assumptions or potential lease buyouts. In addition, lease payments for vacated stores will continue until leases expire or are terminated.

5.    Debt

Short-Term Debt

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

On April 17, 2018, 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 originally scheduled to expire in June 2021, but was terminated on April 17, 2018. The Five-Year Facility Agreement permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion and expires in April 2023. At May 5, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding. In addition, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Previous Facility as of February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017.

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) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s prime rate, (2) the greater of the federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 0.5%, and (3) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), subject to certain adjustments plus 1%, and (b) a variable margin rate (the “ABR Margin”); or (ii) the LIBOR plus a variable margin rate (the “LIBOR Margin”). In addition, a facility fee is assessed on the commitment amount. The ABR Margin, LIBOR 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 0.00% to 0.30%, the LIBOR Margin ranges from 0.80% to 1.30%, and the facility fee ranges from 0.08% to 0.20%. 

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 other fundamental changes;or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The Five-Year Facility Agreement also contains covenants that require us to maintain a maximum cash flow leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Five-Year Facility Agreement contains default provisions including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due and failure to comply with covenants.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following at Mat 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	May 5, 2018			February 3, 2018			April 29, 2017
2018 Notes	$	500		$	500		$	500
2021 Notes	650			650			650
Interest rate swap valuation adjustments	(10		)	(5		)	3
Subtotal	1,140			1,145			1,153
Debt discounts and issuance costs	(2		)	(3		)	(4		)
Financing lease obligations	184			191			171
Capital lease obligations	20			22			27
Total long-term debt	1,342			1,355			1,347
Less: current portion	550			544			45
Total long-term debt, less current portion	$	792		$	811		$	1,302

Our 2018 Notes, due August 1, 2018, are classified within our Current portion of long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 5, 2018. The fair value of total long-term debt, excluding debt discounts and issuance costs and financing and capital lease obligations, approximated $1,176 million, $1,199 million and $1,229 million at May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively, based primarily on the market prices quoted from external sources, compared with carrying values of $1,140 million, $1,145 million and $1,153 million, respectively. If long-term debt was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified primarily as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

See Note 5, Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for additional information regarding the terms of our debt facilities, debt instruments and other obligations.

6. Derivative Instruments

We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain risks through the use of foreign currency derivative instruments and interest rate swaps. Our objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of net earnings, cash flows and net asset value associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have no derivatives that have credit risk-related contingent features, and we mitigate our credit risk by engaging with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings as our counterparties.

We record all derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and evaluate hedge effectiveness prospectively and retrospectively when electing to apply hedge accounting. We formally document all hedging relations at inception for derivative hedges and the underlying hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, we have derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments.

Net Investment Hedges

We use 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. The contracts have terms of up to 12 months. For a net investment hedge, we recognize changes in the fair value of the derivative as a component of foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investment being hedged, until the investment is sold or liquidated. We limit recognition in net earnings of amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation. We report the gains and losses, if any, related to the amount excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness in net earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps

We use "receive fixed-rate, pay variable-rate" interest rate swaps to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our 2018 Notes and 2021 Notes. Our interest rate swap contracts are considered perfect hedges because the critical terms and notional amounts match those of our fixed-rate debt being hedged and are, therefore, accounted for as fair value hedges using

18

the shortcut method. Under the shortcut method, we recognize the change in the fair value of the derivatives with an offsetting change to the carrying value of the debt. Accordingly, there is no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings from the fair value of the derivatives.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to recognized receivable and payable balances denominated in non-functional currencies. The contracts generally have terms of up to 12 months. These derivative instruments are not designated in hedging relationships and, therefore, we record gains and losses on these contracts directly to net earnings.

Summary of Derivative Balances

The following tables present the gross fair values for outstanding derivative instruments and the corresponding classification at May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

7. 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 potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, nonvested share awards and shares issuable under our employee stock purchase plan. Nonvested market-based share awards and nonvested performance-based share awards are included in the average diluted shares outstanding for each period, if established market or performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective periods.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017
Numerator
Net earnings	$	208	$	188
Denominator
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	282.6		309.2
Dilutive effect of stock compensation plan awards	5.7		5.8
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution	288.3		315.0
Basic earnings per share	$	0.74	$	0.61
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.72	$	0.60

The number of potential shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive were 0.1 million and 0.7 million for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively.

Beginning with our annual broad grant of restricted stock and restricted stock units in March 2018, we attach dividend equivalents to our restricted stock and restricted stock units equal to dividends payable on the same number of shares of Best Buy common stock during the applicable period. Dividend equivalents, settled in additional shares of Best Buy common stock, accrue on restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards during the vesting period. No dividend equivalents are paid on any restricted stock or restricted stock units that are forfeited prior to the vesting date.

8. Comprehensive Income

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, attributable to Best Buy Co., Inc. for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	Foreign Currency Translation
Balances at February 3, 2018	$	314
Foreign currency translation adjustments	(4		)
Balances at May 5, 2018	$	310
Balance at January 28, 2017	$	279
Foreign currency translation adjustments	(13		)
Balance at April 29, 2017	$	266

The gains and losses on our net investment hedges, which are included in foreign currency translation adjustments, were not material for the periods presented. Foreign currency translation adjustments do not include a provision for income tax expense when earnings from foreign operations are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. At this time, we are still evaluating the earnings that are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for additional information.

9. Repurchase of Common Stock

In February 2017, our Board of Directors ("Board") authorized a $5.0 billion share repurchase program that superseded the previous $5.0 billion authorization from 2011. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the February 2017 authorization. On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to repurchase at least $1.5 billion of shares in fiscal 2019, which reflects an updated two-year plan of $3.5 billion compared to the original $3.0 billion two-year plan announced March 1, 2017.

The following table presents information regarding the shares we repurchased during the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017
Total cost of shares repurchased(1)	$	399	$	384
Average price per share	$	71.78	$	46.30
Number of shares repurchased(1)	5.6		8.3

(1) As of May 5, 2018, $12 million, or 0.2 million shares, in trades remained unsettled. As of April 29, 2017, $19 million, or 0.3 million shares, in trades remained unsettled. The liability for unsettled trades is included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At May 5, 2018, $2.6 billion of the $5.0 billion of share repurchases authorized by our Board in February 2017 was available for future share repurchases. Between the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on May 5, 2018, and June 5, 2018, we repurchased an incremental 1.6 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $120 million.

10. Segments

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. Our business is organized into two reportable segments: Domestic (which is comprised of all states, districts and territories of the U.S.) and International (which is comprised of all operations in Canada and Mexico). Our CODM has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our CODM determines, in particular, resource allocation for, and monitors the performance of, the consolidated enterprise, the Domestic segment and the International segment. The Domestic segment managers and International segment managers have responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance within their respective segments. Our CODM relies on internal management reporting that analyzes enterprise results to the net earnings level and segment results to the operating income level.

21

We aggregate our Canada and Mexico businesses into one International operating segment. Our Domestic and International operating segments also represent our reportable segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same.

Revenue by reportable segment and product category were as follows for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017

11. Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. Among other things, the Tax Act lowered the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, broadened the base to which U.S. income tax applies, imposed a one-time deemed repatriation tax on net unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries not previously subject to U.S. income tax and changed how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. income tax.

In response to the Tax Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Act. SAB 118 allows companies to record provisional amounts to the extent that they are reasonably estimable and adjust them over time as more information becomes available, not to extend beyond the measurement period of one year from the enactment of the Tax Act.

As a result of the Tax Act and in accordance with SAB 118, we recorded provisional tax expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the deemed repatriation tax and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the new tax rate.  We have not made any measurement period adjustments related to these items during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We continue to gather and analyze additional information needed to complete our accounting for these items and expect to complete our accounting within the one-year measurement period provided by SAB 118. Any adjustment to these amounts during the measurement period will be recorded in income tax expense in the period in which the analysis is complete.

Beginning in fiscal 2019, the Tax Act created a provision known as the global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) that imposes a tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Due to the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, we are not yet able to reasonably determine the complete effects of this provision. Therefore, we have not yet elected a policy as to whether we will recognize deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse or record GILTI as a current period cost when incurred. We have, however, included an estimate of the current GILTI impact in our effective tax rate for fiscal 2019.

Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for additional information.

12. Contingencies

We are involved in a number of legal proceedings. Where appropriate, we have made accruals with respect to these matters, which are reflected in 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.

Securities Actions

In February 2011, a purported class action lawsuit captioned, IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Best Buy Co., Inc., et al., was filed against us and certain of our executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. This federal court action alleges, among other things, that we and the officers named in the complaint violated Sections 10(b) and 20A of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act in connection with press releases and other statements relating to our fiscal 2011 earnings guidance that had been made available to the public. Additionally, in March 2011, a similar purported class action was filed by a single shareholder, Rene LeBlanc, against us and certain of our executive officers in the same court. In July 2011, after consolidation of the IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund and Rene LeBlanc actions, a consolidated complaint captioned, IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund v. Best Buy Co., Inc., et al., was filed and served. Following discovery and motion practice Plaintiffs moved to certify the purported class. By Order filed August 6, 2014, the court certified a class of persons or entities who acquired Best Buy common stock between 10:00 a.m. EDT on September 14, 2010, and December 13, 2010, and who were damaged by the alleged violations of law. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals granted our request for interlocutory appeal. On April 12, 2016, the 8th Circuit held the trial court misapplied the law and reversed the class certification order. IBEW petitioned the 8th Circuit for a rehearing en banc, which was denied on June 1, 2016. On June 23, 2017, the trial court denied plaintiff's request to file a new Motion for Class Certification. On October 30, 2017, plaintiffs filed with the trial court a motion for leave to file a second amended class action complaint which Best Buy opposed in a filing on November 6, 2017. That motion is pending. We continue to believe that the remaining individual plaintiff's allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend our company in this matter.

In June 2011, a purported shareholder derivative action captioned, Salvatore M. Talluto, Derivatively and on Behalf of Best Buy Co., Inc. v. Richard M. Schulze, et al., as Defendants and Best Buy Co., Inc. as Nominal Defendant, was filed against both present and former members of our Board serving during the relevant periods in fiscal 2011 and us as a nominal defendant in

23

the U.S. District Court for the State of Minnesota. The lawsuit alleges that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty, among other claims, including violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, in failing to correct public misrepresentations and material misstatements and/or omissions regarding our fiscal 2011 earnings projections and, for certain directors, selling stock while in possession of material adverse non-public information. Additionally, in July 2011, a similar purported class action was filed by a single shareholder, Daniel Himmel, against us and certain of our executive officers in the same court. In November 2011, the respective lawsuits of Salvatore M. Talluto and Daniel Himmel were consolidated into a new action captioned, In Re: Best Buy Co., Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, and a stay ordered pending the close of discovery in the consolidated IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund v. Best Buy Co., Inc., et al. case. Additionally, in June 2015, a similar purported class action was filed by a single shareholder, Khuong Tran, derivatively on behalf of Best Buy Co., Inc. against us and certain of our executive officers and directors in the same court. The Khuong Tran lawsuit has also been stayed pending the close of discovery in IBEW.

The plaintiffs in the above securities actions seek damages, including interest, equitable relief and reimbursement of the costs and expenses they incurred in the lawsuits. As stated above, we believe the allegations in the above securities actions are without merit, and we intend to defend these actions vigorously. Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the claims in the above securities actions, their respective procedural litigation history and the degree to which we intend to defend our company in these matters, the amount or range of reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated.

Other Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of conducting business. For such legal proceedings, we have accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the variable treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings, we are not able to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses. However, based upon our historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 is presented in the following sections:

• Overview

• Business Strategy Update

• Results of Operations

• Liquidity and Capital Resources

• Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

• Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

• New Accounting Pronouncements

• Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, (including the information presented therein under Risk Factors), as well as our reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited.

Overview

We strive to enrich the lives of consumers through technology, whether they come to us online, visit our stores or invite us into their homes. We do this by solving technology problems and addressing key human needs across a range of areas, including entertainment, productivity, communication, food preparation, security and health and wellness. We have operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. We operate two reportable segments: Domestic and International. The Domestic segment is comprised of the operations in all states, districts and territories of the U.S. The International segment is comprised of all operations in Canada and Mexico.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the end of January. Fiscal 2019 will include 52 weeks and fiscal 2018 included 53 weeks, with the additional week included in the fourth quarter. 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 in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Comparable Sales

Throughout this MD&A, we refer to comparable sales. Our comparable sales calculation compares revenue from stores, websites and call centers operating for at least 14 full months, as well as revenue related to certain other comparable sales channels for a particular period to the corresponding period in the prior year. Relocated stores, as well as remodeled, expanded and downsized stores closed more than 14 days, are excluded from the comparable sales calculation until at least 14 full months after reopening. Acquisitions are included in the comparable sales calculation beginning with the first full quarter following the first anniversary of the date of the acquisition. The calculation of comparable sales excludes the impact of revenue from discontinued operations and the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (applicable to our International segment only). On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to close all of our remaining 257 Best Buy Mobile stand-alone stores in the U.S. As a result, all revenue related to these stores has been excluded from the comparable sales calculation beginning in March 2018. 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 United States ("GAAP"), as well as certain adjusted or non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and non-GAAP debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent ("EBITDAR") ratio. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures,

25

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, our internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP measures. Generally, our non-GAAP measures include adjustments for items such as restructuring charges, goodwill impairments and gains or losses on investments. In addition, certain other items may be excluded from non-GAAP financial measures when we believe it provides greater clarity to management and our investors. 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 measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

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 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 Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for the detailed reconciliation of items that impacted non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP diluted EPS in the presented periods.

Refer to the Other Financial Measures section below for the detailed reconciliation of items that impacted the non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio. Management believes this ratio is an important indicator of our creditworthiness. Furthermore, we believe that our non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio is important for understanding our financial position and provides meaningful additional information about our ability to service our long-term debt and other fixed obligations and to fund our future growth. We also believe our non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio is relevant because it enables investors to compare our indebtedness to that of retailers who own, rather than lease, their stores. Our decision to own or lease real estate is based on an assessment of our financial liquidity, our capital structure, our desire to own or to lease the location, the owner’s desire to own or to lease the location and the alternative that results in the highest return to our shareholders.

Business Strategy Update

Our strong performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was broad-based, with positive comparable sales across all channels, geographies and most of our product categories. We believe this top-line strength is the result of continued healthy consumer confidence, product innovation in multiple areas of technology and our value proposition resonating with customers. We believe we are executing well and that customers are responding positively to the experience we provide to them online, in our stores and in their homes.

We continued to make significant progress in the implementation of our Best Buy 2020: Building the New Blue strategy. Our purpose as a company is clear - to enrich lives through technology. We aim to do this by addressing key human needs in areas including entertainment, productivity, communication, food preparation, security, and health and wellness.

To fulfill our purpose and grow the company, we are focused on expanding what we sell, evolving how we sell, and building the related key enablers while continuing to focus on cost reduction. Examples of how we are expanding what we sell include leveraging our assets to help leading technology companies commercialize their new products, rolling out our Total Tech Support program nationally and exploring the health space with a focus on older Americans. Examples of evolving how we sell include streamlining the online buying process for our customers, working with our store associates to develop their proficiency and ability to deeply understand and meet customer needs, ramping up our In-Home Advisor program and using technology to bring together the advantages of our various channels in a way that is seamless and intuitive to customers.

To implement our Best Buy 2020 strategy, we are investing in a range of enablers across technology, people and supply chain.  

Underlying all of these areas is how we are evolving as a company and as a brand. As we transitioned to our Best Buy 2020 strategy, it felt appropriate to elevate our brand identity. Our brand identity starts from within, with our people. Importantly, our goal over time is to ensure our new brand identity comes to life in everything we do.

Results of Operations

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. Consistent with such consolidation, the financial and non-financial information presented in our MD&A relative to these operations is also presented on a lag. Our policy is to accelerate the 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 periods presented.

Operating income as a % of revenue	2.9		%	3.5		%
Net earnings	$	208		$	188
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.72		$	0.60

(1) Because retailers vary in how they record costs of operating their supply chain between cost of goods sold and SG&A, our gross profit rate and SG&A rate may not be comparable to other retailers’ corresponding rates. For additional information regarding costs classified in cost of goods sold and SG&A, refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018.

The components of the 6.8% revenue increase for the three months ended May 5, 2018, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018
Comparable sales impact	6.7	%
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation impact	0.4	%
Non-comparable sales impact(1)	(0.3	)%
Total revenue increase	6.8	%

(1) Non-comparable sales reflects the impact of net store opening and closing activity, as well as the impact of revenue streams not included within our comparable sales calculation, such as profit-share revenue, credit card revenue, gift card breakage and sales of merchandise to wholesalers and dealers, as applicable.

The gross profit rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, driven primarily by our Domestic segment. For further discussion of each segment’s gross profit rate changes, see Segment Performance Summary below.

The SG&A rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, driven by slight decreases in both our Domestic and International segments. For further discussion of each segment’s SG&A rate changes, see Segment Performance Summary below.

Our operating income rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, driven primarily by our Domestic segment. For further discussion of each segment's operating income, see Segment Performance Summary below.

27

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased to $49 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $104 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The lower tax expense is primarily a result of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) enacted on December 22, 2017, an increase in excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation anda decrease in pre-tax earnings in the current year period. Our effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was 19.2% compared to a rate of 35.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the impact of the Tax Act, as well as an increase in excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the current year period. Refer to Note 11, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate 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 effective tax rate 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 effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible losses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower.

Segment Performance Summary

Domestic

The following table presents selected financial data for the Domestic segment for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	Three Months Ended

(1) Non-comparable sales reflects the impact of net store opening and closing activity, as well as the impact of revenue streams not included within our comparable sales calculation, such as profit-share revenue, credit card revenue, gift card breakage and sales of merchandise to wholesalers and dealers, as applicable.

The increase in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was primarily driven by comparable sales growth of 7.1%, partially offset by the loss of revenue from Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stand-alone store closures. Online revenue of $1.1 billion increased 12.0% on a comparable basis, primarily due to higher average order values and higher conversion rates.

The following table reconciles the number of Domestic stores open at the beginning and end of the first quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018:

	Fiscal 2019					Fiscal 2018
	Total Stores at Beginning of First Quarter	Stores Opened	Stores Closed		Total Stores at End of First Quarter	Total Stores at Beginning of First Quarter	Stores Opened	Stores Closed		Total Stores at End of First Quarter
Best Buy	1,008	—	(1	)	1,007	1,026	—	(2	)	1,024

Total Domestic segment stores	1,293	—	(153	)	1,140	1,363	—	(13	)	1,350

We continuously monitor store performance. As we approach the expiration date of our store leases, we evaluate various options for each location, including whether a store should remain open. On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to close

all of our 257 remaining Best Buy Mobile stand-alone stores in the U.S., of which 152 were closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Refer to Note 4, Restructuring Charges, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The following table presents the Domestic segment revenue mix percentages and comparable sales percentage changes by revenue category for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017:

	Revenue Mix				Comparable Sales
	Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017		May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017

Services	5	%	5	%	7.3	%	4.2	%
Total	100	%	100	%	7.1	%	1.4	%

The following is a description of the notable comparable sales changes in our Domestic segment by revenue category for the three months ended May 5, 2018:

• Consumer Electronics: The 2.9% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by smart home and portable audio, partially offset by declines in digital imaging.

• Computing and Mobile Phones: The 10.2% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by mobile phones, computing and tablets.

• Entertainment: The 0.8% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by movies and music, partially offset by gains in gaming.

• Appliances: The 13.0% comparable sales gain was driven by major appliances and small appliances.

• Services: The 7.3% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by higher installation revenue and growth in our warranty business.

Our gross profit rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by rate pressure within mobile phones.

Our SG&A rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to sales leverage, noting that expenses increased due to increases in growth investments, higher variable costs due to increased revenue and higher incentive compensation, partially offset by cost reductions and lower advertising expenses.

29

Our restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 related to our Best Buy Mobile plan, which had no activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Refer to Note 4, Restructuring Charges, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Our operating income rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 due to a lower gross profit rate and an increase in restructuring charges.

International

The components of the 13.1% revenue increase for the three months ended May 5, 2018, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018
Comparable sales impact	6.3	%
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation impact	5.0	%
Non-comparable sales impact(1)	1.8	%

Total	100	%	100	%	6.4	%	4.0	%

The following is a description of the notable comparable sales changes in our International segment by revenue category for the three months ended May 5, 2018:

• Consumer Electronics: The 9.4% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by smart home, home theater and portable audio, partially offset by declines in digital imaging and health and fitness.

• Computing and Mobile Phones: The 4.4% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by mobile phones, computing and wearables, partially offset by declines in tablets.

• Entertainment: The 8.3% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by gaming and movies, partially offset by gains in drones.

• Appliances: The 37.7% comparable sales gain was driven by major appliances and small appliances.

• Services: The 6.1% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by technical support, partially offset by gains in repair and installation.

• Other: The 1.9% comparable sales decline was driven primarily by other product offerings, including declines in sporting goods, partially offset by gains in baby products.

Our gross profit rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 due to lower sales in the higher-margin services category in Canada primarily driven by the launch of Canada's Total Tech Support offer, as well as rate pressure in computing and mobile phones. Costs for services and discounts related to our Total Tech Support offer are typically higher at the onset of the membership, while the recurring membership revenue is recognized on a monthly basis.

Our SG&A rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to leverage on our increased revenue.

Our operating income rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 due to a lower gross profit rate, partially offset by a lower SG&A rate.

Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following table reconciles consolidated operating income, effective tax rate and diluted EPS for the periods presented (GAAP financial measures) to non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the periods presented ($ in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018			April 29, 2017
Operating income	$	265		$	300
Tax reform related item - employee bonus(1)	7			—
Restructuring charges(2)	30			—
Non-GAAP operating income	$	302		$	300
Effective tax rate	19.2		%	35.6		%
Tax reform related item - employee bonus(1)	0.1		%	—		%

Restructuring charges, net of tax(2)(3)	0.08			—
Non-GAAP diluted EPS	$	0.82		$	0.60

(1) Represents final adjustments for amounts paid and associated taxes related to a one-time bonus for certain employees announced in response to future tax savings created by the Tax Act enacted into law in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.     

(2) Refer to Note 4, Restructuring Charges, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the nature of these charges. For the three months ended May 5, 2018, the entire balance related to the United States.

(3) The income tax impact included in the non-GAAP adjustments relate primarily to the United States. As such, the income tax charge is calculated using the tax rate for the United States (24.5% for the period ended May 5, 2018, and 38.0% for the period ended April 29, 2017).

Non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 increased $2 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This increase was primarily driven by strong revenue performance in both our Domestic and International segments in nearly all product categories, partially offset by increases in SG&A primarily due to growth investments, higher variable costs due to increased revenue and higher incentive compensation.

Our non-GAAP effective tax rate decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2018 primarily due to the impact of the Tax Act, as well as an increase in excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the current year period.

The increase in non-GAAP operating income and the decrease in our non-GAAP effective tax rate drove the increase in non-GAAP diluted EPS in the first quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP diluted EPS also increased due to lower diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding driven by our share repurchases. Refer to the Share Repurchases and Dividends section below for additional details.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary

We closely manage our liquidity and capital resources. Our liquidity requirements depend on key variables, including the level of investment needed to support our business strategies, the performance of our business, capital expenditures, credit facilities and short-term borrowing arrangements and working capital management. Capital expenditures and share repurchases

are components 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. We have a disciplined approach to capital allocation, which focuses on investing in key priorities that support our Best Buy 2020: Building the New Blue strategy.

32

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	May 5, 2018		February 3, 2018		April 29, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,848	$	1,101	$	1,651
Short-term investments	785		2,032		1,948
Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments	$	2,633	$	3,133	$	3,599

Existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, as well as cash generated from operations, were sufficient to fund share repurchases, capital expenditures and dividends during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 without the need to utilize our credit facilities or other debt arrangements.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from total operations for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018			April 29, 2017
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	204		$	243
Investing activities	1,073			(423		)
Financing activities	(516		)	(413		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(12		)	(6		)
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	749		$	(599	)

Operating Activities

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in working capital, primarily due to timing of collections on receivables and higher incentive compensation payments, partially offset by the timing of payments on inventory. During fiscal 2018 we generally purchased greater amounts of inventory with shorter payment terms than in the prior year, causing fewer payments to occur during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Investing Activities

The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in the purchases of investments and an increase in the sales of investments.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of option exercises, an increase in share repurchases driven by an increase in our share price, and an increase in our regular quarterly dividend rate from $0.34 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 to $0.45 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Sources of Liquidity

Funds generated by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, our credit facilities and other debt arrangements are our most significant sources of liquidity. We believe our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations and anticipated capital expenditures, strategic initiatives, share repurchases and dividends. 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 17, 2018, we entered into a new $1.25 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Five-Year Facility Agreement") with a syndicate of banks that expires in April 2023. The Five-Year Facility Agreement replaced the previous $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was originally scheduled to expire in June 2021, but was

33

terminated on April 17, 2018. Refer to Note 5, Debt, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. At May 5, 2018, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement.

Our ability to access our revolving credit facility under the Five-Year Facility Agreement is subject to our compliance with the terms and conditions of the facility, including financial covenants. The financial covenants require us to maintain certain financial ratios. At May 5, 2018, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. If an event of default were to occur with respect to any of our other debt, it would likely constitute an event of default under our facilities as well.

Our credit ratings and outlook at June 5, 2018, remain unchanged from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, and are summarized below.

Rating Agency	Rating	Outlook
Standard & Poor's	BBB	Stable
Moody's	Baa1	Stable
Fitch	BBB-	Positive

Credit rating agencies review their ratings periodically, and, therefore, the credit rating assigned to us by each agency may be subject to revision at any time. Accordingly, we are not able to predict whether our current credit ratings will remain as disclosed above. Factors that can affect our credit ratings include changes in our operating performance, the economic environment, conditions in the retail and consumer electronics industries, our financial position and changes in our business strategy. If further changes in our credit ratings were to occur, they could impact, among other things, interest costs for certain of our credit facilities, our future borrowing costs, access to capital markets, vendor financing terms and future store leasing costs.

Restricted Cash

Our liquidity is also affected by restricted cash balances that are pledged as collateral or restricted to use for general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. Restricted cash and cash equivalents, which are included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $201 million, $199 million, and $183 million at May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the timing of insurance premium payments.

Debt and Capital

As of May 5, 2018, we have $500 million principal amount of notes due August 1, 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and $650 million principal amount of notes due March 15, 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). Refer to Note 5, Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for further information about our 2018 Notes and 2021 Notes. As we approach the due date for the 2018 Notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we will continue to evaluate whether to fund the repayment through existing cash resources or the issuance of new debt.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

We repurchase our common stock and pay dividends pursuant to programs approved by our Board of Directors ("Board"). 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.

In February 2017, our Board authorized a new $5.0 billion share repurchase program that superseded the previous $5.0 billion authorization from June 2011, which had $2.2 billion remaining as of January 28, 2017. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the February 2017 authorization. On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to repurchase at least $1.5 billion of shares in fiscal 2019, which reflects an updated two-year plan of $3.5 billion compared to the original $3.0 billion two-year plan announced on March 1, 2017. Between the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on May 5, 2018, and June 5, 2018, we repurchased an incremental 1.6 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $120 million.

34

The following table presents our share repurchase activity for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017
Total cost of shares repurchased	$	399	$	384
Average price per share	$	71.78	$	46.30
Number of shares repurchased	5.6		8.3

The cost of shares repurchased in the three months ended May 5, 2018, increased compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to an increase in our share price.

In fiscal 2004, our Board initiated the payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock. A quarterly cash dividend has been paid in each subsequent quarter. The payment of cash dividends is subject to customary legal and contractual restrictions. The following table presents our dividend activity for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017
Regular quarterly cash dividends per share	$	0.45	$	0.34
Cash dividends declared and paid	$	128	$	105

The increase in cash dividends declared and paid for the three months ended May 5, 2018, compared to the same period in the prior year was the result of an increase in the regular quarterly dividend rate, partially offset by fewer shares due to the return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases.

Other Financial Measures

Our current ratio, calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities, was 1.3 at May 5, 2018, compared to 1.3 at February 3, 2018, and 1.5 at April 29, 2017. The decrease from April 29, 2017, is primarily due to the reclassification of our 2018 Notes to current liabilities.

Our debt to net earnings ratio was 1.3 at May 5, 2018, compared to 1.4 at February 3, 2018, and 1.2 at April 29, 2017. Changes were insignificant for the periods presented as debt and earnings remained relatively consistent.

Our non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio, which includes capitalized operating lease obligations in its calculation, remained unchanged at 1.6 for all periods presented below.

Our non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio is calculated as follows:

Non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR =	Non-GAAP debt
	Non-GAAP EBITDAR

The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to our non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio is our debt to net earnings ratio, which excludes capitalized operating lease obligations from debt in the numerator of the calculation and does not adjust net earnings in the denominator of the calculation.

35

The following table presents a reconciliation of our debt to net earnings ratio and our non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio for continuing operations ($ in millions):

	May 5, 2018(1)		February 3, 2018(1)		April 29, 2017(1)
Debt (including current portion)	$	1,342	$	1,355	$	1,347
Capitalized operating lease obligations (5 times rental expense)(2)	3,908		3,914		3,879
Non-GAAP debt	$	5,250	$	5,269	$	5,226
Net earnings from continuing operations	$	1,019	$	999	$	1,169
Other income (including interest expense, net)	26		26		34
Income tax expense	763		818		579
Depreciation and amortization expense	698		683		653
Rental expense	782		782		776
Restructuring charges(3)	40		10		10
Non-GAAP EBITDAR	$	3,328	$	3,318	$	3,221
Debt to net earnings ratio	1.3		1.4		1.2
Non-GAAP debt to EBITDAR ratio	1.6		1.6		1.6

(1) Debt is reflected as of the balance sheet date for each of the respective fiscal periods, while net earnings from continuing operations and the other components of non-GAAP EBITDAR represent activity for the 12-months ended as of each of the respective dates.

(2) The multiple of five times annual rent expense in the calculation of our capitalized operating lease obligations is the multiple used for the retail sector by one of the nationally recognized credit rating agencies that rate our creditworthiness, and we consider it to be an appropriate multiple for our lease portfolio.

(3) Refer to Note 4, Restructuring Charges, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the nature of these charges.

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 operating leases and our $1.25 billion in undrawn capacity on our credit facility at May 5, 2018, which, if drawn upon, would be included as short-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 2018. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for additional information regarding our off-balance-sheet arrangements and contractual obligations.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

We describe our significant accounting policies in 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 3, 2018. We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted new revenue recognition guidance, as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no other significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of fiscal 2018.

With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements and may be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "guidance," "intend," "outlook," "plan," "project" and other words and terms of similar meaning. Such statements reflect our current views and estimates with respect to future market conditions, company performance and financial results, business prospects, new strategies, the competitive environment and other events. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the potential results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Readers should review Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for a description of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Among the factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements are the following: macro-economic conditions (including fluctuations in housing prices, oil markets and jobless rates), conditions in the industries and categories in which we operate, changes in consumer preferences or confidence, changes in consumer spending and debt levels, the mix of products and services offered for sale in our physical stores and online, credit market changes and constraints, product availability, trade restrictions or changes in the costs of imports, competitive initiatives of competitors (including pricing actions and promotional activities), strategic and business decisions of our vendors (including actions that could impact promotional support, product margin and/or supply), the success of new product launches, the impact of pricing investments and promotional activity, weather, natural or man-made disasters, attacks on our data systems, our ability to prevent or react to a disaster recovery situation, changes in laws or regulations, changes in tax rates, changes in taxable income in each jurisdiction, tax audit developments and resolution of other discrete tax matters, the effects of the recently enacted Tax Act, foreign currency fluctuation, our ability to manage our property portfolio, the impact of labor markets, our ability to retain qualified employees and management, failure to achieve anticipated expense and cost reductions, disruptions in our supply chain, the costs of procuring goods we sell, failure to achieve anticipated revenue and profitability increases from operational and restructuring changes (including investments in our multi-channel capabilities), inability to secure or maintain favorable vendor terms, failure to accurately predict the duration over which we will incur costs, development of new businesses, failure to complete or achieve anticipated benefits of announced transactions and our ability to protect information relating to our employees and customers. We caution that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement that we may make.

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 3, 2018, 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 and short-term investments generate interest income that will vary based on changes in short-term interest rates. In addition, we have swapped our fixed-rate debt to a floating-rate such that the interest rate expense on this debt will vary with short-term interest rates. Refer to Note 5, Debt, and Note 6, Derivative Instruments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for further information regarding our interest rate swaps.

As of May 5, 2018, we had $2.6 billion of cash and short-term investments and $1.2 billion of debt that has been swapped to floating rate. Therefore, we had net cash and short-term investments of $1.4 billion generating income that is exposed to interest rate changes. As of May 5, 2018, a 50 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would lead to an estimated $7 million reduction in net interest expense, and conversely a 50 basis point decrease in short-term interest rates would lead to an estimated $7 million increase in net interest expense.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our International segment operations. On a limited basis, we utilize foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure to certain forecast 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 net asset value associated

37

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, which generally have terms of up to 12 months. The aggregate notional amount related to our foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at May 5, 2018, was $174 million. The net fair value recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at May 5, 2018, related to our foreign exchange forward contracts was $2 million. The amount recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to all contracts settled and outstanding was a gain of $1 million for the three months ended May 5, 2018.

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations were primarily driven by the weakness of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar compared to the prior-year period, which had a positive overall impact on our revenue as these foreign currencies translated into more U.S. dollars. We estimate that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a net favorable impact of $31 million on our revenue and a $0 million impact on our net earnings for the three months ended May 5, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s 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 otherwise as needed.

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 5, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at May 5, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There was no change in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 5, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1

BEST BUY CO., INC.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM AWARD AGREEMENT

Award Date:___________

This Long-Term Incentive Program Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated the date set forth above (the “Award Date”), is between Best Buy Co., Inc., a Minnesota corporation, (“Best Buy” or the “Company”), and the employee (“you” or the “Participant”) of the Company (or one of its Affiliates) whose name is set forth in the Award Notification you received from the Company (the “Award Notification”). The Award Notification is included in and made a part of this Agreement.

1. Grant of Award. In consideration of your employment with or service to a member of the Company Group, the Company hereby grants to you the award set forth in the Award Notification (the “Award”) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Best Buy Co., Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan will govern.By your acceptance of this Award, you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Prospectus for the Plan and your agreement to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

2. Options. This section applies to you if your Award includes an Option. An “Option” is a right to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Shares”) at the price per share of Common Stock stated in the Award Notification.

(a) Term and Vesting.The Option shall expire and no longer be exercisable on the tenth anniversary the Award Date or such earlier date as provided herein (such date, the “Expiration Date”). Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, in accordance with the schedule stated in the Award Notification. In no case may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date.

(b) Method of Exercise.The Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company (through the Plan administrator or other means specified by the Company) stating the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price for all Shares to be purchased by (i) cash or check, (ii) delivery of unencumbered Shares previously acquired by you having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise that is equal to the exercise price, (iii) withholding of Shares that would otherwise be issued upon such exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price for the Shares for which the Option is being exercised or (iv) a cashless (broker-assisted) exercise that complies with all applicable laws.

3. Restricted Shares. This section applies to you if your Award includes Restricted Shares. A “RestrictedShare” is a Share issued to you on the Award Date that is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

(a) Restrictions. Until the Restricted Shares vest, they may not be assigned, transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or hypothecated (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise conveyed or encumbered, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition contrary to the provisions this Agreement or the Plan, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Restricted Shares, shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

(b) Vesting. Except as otherwise set forth herein, so long as you remained employed by a member of the Company Group, the Restricted Shares shall vest in accordance with the schedule stated in the Award Notification.

(c) Performance Condition. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule stated in the Award Notification, your Restricted Shares shall not vest unless the Company achieves positive Adjusted Net Earnings in any fiscal year during the term of the Award. “Adjusted Net Earnings” means net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP as publicly reported by the Company for a fiscal year, adjusted to eliminate the following: (1) the cumulative effect of changes in

GAAP; (2) gains and losses from discontinued operations; (3) extraordinary gains or losses; and (4) any other unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses which are separately identified and quantified, including merger related charges.

(d) Issuance of Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company shall issue the Restricted Shares in the Participant’s name in book-entry form with legends or notations indicating the restrictions in this Agreement.

4. Performance Share Award. This section applies to you if your Award includes a Performance Share Award. A “Performance Share Award” is a commitment by the Company to issue a certain number of Shares to you provided you meet certain employment criteria and that the Company achieves certain financial performance levels. A Performance Share Award does not represent immediate ownership of Shares.

(a) Determination of Number of Shares under Performance Share Award. Thenumber of Shares issuable under (i) the revenue component of your Performance Share Award (the “RevenuePerformance Share Number”) will be equal to a percentage of the target number of Shares stated in your Award Notification for the revenue component (“Revenue Target”) and (ii) the TSR component of your Performance Share Award (the “TSR Performance Share Number”) will be equal to a percentage of the target number of Shares stated in your Award Notification for the TSR component (“TSR Target”), in each case as determined below.

(b) Revenue Performance Share Number.

(i) Within 120 days after the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will calculate the CAGR of Enterprise Revenue from fiscal year 2018 to fiscal year 2021 (“Enterprise Revenue CAGR”). For example, if fiscal year 2018 Enterprise Revenue was $41.4 billion and fiscal year 2021 Enterprise Revenue was $43.3 billion, Enterprise Revenue CAGR would be 1.50%.

(ii) Your Revenue Performance Share Number will be equal to the percentage of the RevenueTarget that is listed in the column below with the heading “Number of Shares Earned” opposite the band in the column with the heading “Performance” in which Enterprise Revenue CAGR falls. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is between Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR and Target Enterprise Revenue CAGR or between Target Enterprise Revenue CAGR and Maximum Enterprise Revenue CAGR, your Revenue Performance Share Number will be equal to a percentage interpolated on a linear basis for performance between such amounts. For example, if Enterprise Revenue CAGR is 1.75%, then your Revenue Performance Share Number would be 125% of your Revenue Target. The Revenue Performance Share Number will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Performance	Number of Shares Earned
Enterprise Revenue CAGR less than 1.0% (“Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR”)	0
Enterprise Revenue CAGR of 1.0% or greater but less than 1.5%	50%-99% of Revenue Target
Enterprise Revenue CAGR of 1.5% (“Target Enterprise Revenue CAGR”) or greater but less than 2.0%	100% - 149% of Revenue Target
Enterprise Revenue CAGR greater than 2.0%  (“Maximum Enterprise Revenue CAGR”)	150% of Revenue Target
The number of performance shares earned will be interpolated on a linear basis for performance between Threshold and Target and between Target and Maximum.

(c) TSR Performance Share Number.

(i) Within 120 days after the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will (A) calculate the TSR for Best Buy and for each company included in the S&P 500 Index at the time of any calculation hereunder, (B) rank each such company by TSR (lowest to highest), and (C) determine the percentile rank of Best Buy’s TSR in such ranking by dividing Best Buy’s numerical position in such TSR ranking by the total number of companies included in the list, rounding to the nearest hundredth (“Relative TSR”). For example, if Best Buy were ranked 300 out of 500, its Relative TSR would be 60%.

(ii) Your TSR Performance Share Number will be equal to the percentage of the TSRTarget that is listed in the column below with the heading “Number of Shares Earned” opposite the band in the column with the heading

“Performance” in which Relative TSR falls. If Relative TSR is between Threshold TSR and Target TSR or between Target TSR and Maximum TSR, your TSR Performance Share Number will be equal to a percentage interpolated on a linear basis for performance between such amounts. For example, if Best Buy's Relative TSR is 60%, then your TSR Performance Share Number would be 125% of your TSR Target. Your TSR Performance Share Number will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Performance	Number of Shares Earned
Relative TSR less than 30% (“Threshold TSR”)	0
Relative TSR 30% or greater but less than 50%	50%-99% of TSR Target
Relative TSR 50% (“Target TSR”) or greater but less than 70%	100%-149% of TSR Target
Relative TSR Greater than 70% (“Maximum TSR”)	150% of TSR Target
The number of performance shares earned will be interpolated on a linear basis for performance between Threshold and Target and between Target and Maximum.

(d) Certain Definitions.

(i) “Beginning Price” means, with respect to any one company, the average closing price of one share of common stock during the first fiscal quarter of the Performance Period.

(ii) “CAGR” means compound annual growth rate.

(iii) “Ending Price” means, with respect to any one company, the average closing price of one share of common stock during the first fiscal quarter following completion of the Performance Period.

(iv) “Enterprise Revenue” means revenue of the Company from continuing operations as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the respective 52-week fiscal year adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations; provided, however, that the Committee may adjust Enterprise Revenue downto eliminate the following: (1) the cumulative effect of changes in GAAP (only to the extent such changes would reduce Enterprise Revenue); (2) revenue from discontinued operations; and (3) any other unusual or nonrecurring gains which are separately identified and quantified, including acquisition related revenue.

(v) “Performance Period” means the performance period stated in the Award Notification.

(vi) “Performance Share Number” means the sum of the Revenue Performance Share Number plus the TSR Performance Share Number.

(vii) “TSR” means, with respect to any one company, the price appreciation of one share of common stock as measured from the Beginning Price to the Ending Price, assuming all dividends and other distributions made on such share are reinvested, expressed as a percentage.

(e) Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine (i) Enterprise Revenue CAGR using the last completed fiscal year instead of fiscal year 2020 and (ii) Relative TSR using the average closing price of one share of common stock during the last completed fiscal quarter in order to determine the Ending Price, and the Revenue and TSR Performance Share Numbers will be equal to the greater of (i) the numbers determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) and Section 4(c)(ii) above, respectively, and (ii) the respective Revenue or TSR Target.

(f) Performance Share Number Not Guaranteed. If Relative TSR is less than 30% or Enterprise Revenue CAGR is less than 1.0%, the respective portion of your Performance Share Number will be 0 and there will be no Shares issued under that portion of your Performance Share Award. The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine Relative TSR and Enterprise Revenue.

(g) Issuance of Shares. Any Shares issuable to you under your Performance Share Award will be issued within 60 days after the Committee’s determination of Relative TSR and Enterprise Revenue CAGR; provided however, that the Company’s obligation to issue such shares is subject to Section 5 of this Agreement.

5. Effect of Termination of Employment. Your employment with the Company Group may be terminated by your employer at any time for any reason (with or without advance notice). This section provides the effect on your Award of different types of termination of employment.

(a) QualifiedRetirement. In the event of your Qualified Retirement:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, the Option will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above. You will have until the later of (A) three years from the date of your Qualified Retirement and (B) the last scheduled vesting date to exercise the entire Option; provided, however, that in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiration Date. Any portion of the Option unexercised at the end of this period will be forfeited.

(ii) Restricted Shares. If your Award includes Restricted Shares, such Restricted Shares will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above, subject to the Company’s achievement of the performance condition described in Section 3(c).

(iii) Performance Shares. If your Award includes Performance Shares and in the event of your Qualified Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period, you may be entitled to a prorated Performance Share Award. If Relative TSR is greater than Threshold TSR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated TSR Performance Share Number. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is greater than Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated Revenue Performance Share Number. For each component, your Performance Share Award will be determined by multiplying the Performance Share Number calculated as if you were employed by a member of the Company Group on the last day of the Performance Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period you were so employed, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(b) Death or Disability. In the event of your death or employment termination due to Disability:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, any then unvested portion of the Option will vest and become exercisable as of the date of death or, in the case of Disability, as of the date of employment termination. In the event of your death, the representative of your estate or your heirs will have until the earlier of (A) one year from the date of your death and (B) the Expiration Date of the Option, to exercise the Option. In the event you become Disabled while employed with the Company Group and must therefore terminate your employment, you will have until the earlier of (X) one year from the date of your employment termination and (Y) the Expiration Date of the Option, to exercise the Option.

(ii) Restricted Shares. If your Award includes Restricted Shares, any then unvested Restricted Shares will vest as of the date of death or, in the case of Disability, employment termination.

(iii) Performance Share Award. If your Award includes a Performance Share Award and in the event of your death or employment termination due to Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, you or the representative of your estate or your heirs, as applicable, may be entitled to a prorated Performance Share Award. If Relative TSR is greater than Threshold TSR (as determined as of the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination of employment to determine the Ending Price), you or the representative of your estate or your heirs, as applicable, will be entitled to a prorated TSR Performance Share Number. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is greater than Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR (using the last completed fiscal year instead of fiscal year 2020 for purposes of determining Enterprise Revenue CAGR), you will be entitled to a prorated Revenue Performance Share Number. For each component, your Performance Share Award will be determined by multiplying the Performance Share Number calculated as of the date of termination of employment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period you were employed, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(c) InvoluntaryTermination Without Cause. If your employment is Involuntarily Terminated Without Cause:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, you will have 60 days from the date of termination of your employment to exercise the portion of the Option vested as of your termination date, and any portion of the Option then unvested will be forfeited; provided, however, that if your employment is Involuntarily Terminated Without Cause within 12 months following a Change of Control, any then unvested portion of the Option will

vest and become exercisable during the period ending 60 days from the date of termination of your employment. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised after its Expiration Date.

(ii) Restricted Shares. If your Award includes Restricted Shares, you will forfeit any then unvested Restricted Shares.

(iii) Performance Share Award. If your Award includes a Performance Share Award and your employment is Involuntarily Terminated Without Cause prior to the end of the Performance Period, you may be entitled to a prorated Performance Share Award. If Relative TSR is greater than Threshold TSR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated TSR Performance Share Number. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is greater than Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated Revenue Performance Share Number. For each component, your Performance Share Award is determined by multiplying the Performance Share Number calculated as if you were employed by a member of the Company Group on the last day of the Performance Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period you were employed, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(d) Voluntary Termination. If you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company Group for any reason:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, you will have 60 days from the date of termination of your employment to exercise the Option, to the extent the Option had become vested as of your termination date. Any then unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised after its Expiration Date.

(ii) Restricted Shares. If your Award includes Restricted Shares, you will forfeit any then unvested Restricted Shares.

(iii) Performance Share Award. If your Award includes a Performance Share Award, and you voluntarily terminate your employment prior to the end of the Performance Period, you will forfeit your entire Performance Share Award.

(e) Termination for Cause. If your employment is terminated by any member of the Company Group for any reason at a time when any member of the Company Group is entitled to terminate your employment for Cause:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, any then unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited, and the Option may not be exercised after termination of your employment.

(ii) Restricted Shares. If your Award includes Restricted Shares, any then unvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited.

(iii) Performance Share Award.If your Award includes a Performance Share Award and your employment is terminated by any member of the Company Group for any reason at a time when any member of the Company Group is entitled to terminate your employment for Cause prior to the end of the Performance Period, you will forfeit your entire Performance Share Award.

6. Restrictive Covenants and Remedies. By accepting the Award, you specifically agree to the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) and you agree that the Restrictive Covenants and the remedies described herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company Group. Sections 6(b) and 6(c) apply to you only if you are an officer of the Company. Further, if you are an attorney, the Restrictive Covenants apply to you only to the extent they are consistent with the rules of professional conduct applicable to you (for example, Minnesota Rule of Professional Conduct 5.6).

(a) Confidentiality. In consideration of the Award, you acknowledge that the Company Group operates in a competitive environment and has a substantial interest in protecting its Confidential Information, and you agree, during your employment with the Company Group and thereafter, to maintain the confidentiality of the Company Group’s Confidential Information and to use such Confidential Information for the exclusive benefit of the Company Group. You will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.  You shall not be held criminally or civilly liable

under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 

(b) Competitive Activity. During your employment with the Company Group and for one year following the later of (i) termination of your employment for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled vesting date for your Award, you shall not compete, directly or indirectly, through an Affiliate or otherwise, in any manner or capacity (including, without limitation, through any form of ownership or as a principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, advisor or consultant) with the Company Group, for your benefit or for the benefit of any other Person other than the Company Group anywhere in the world. In the event that any portion of this Section 6(b) shall be determined by an arbitrator to be unenforceable because it is unreasonably restrictive in any respect, it shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it reasonably may be enforced and to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced in all other respects, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such arbitrator in such action. You acknowledge the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law. Ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation listed on a national securities exchange will not constitute a breach of this Section 6(b).

(c) Non-Solicitation. During your employment and for one year following the later of (i) termination of your employment for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled award vesting date, you shall not:

(a) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of Company Group, or in any way interfere adversely with the relationship between any such employee and Company Group;

(b) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Company Group to work for, render services to, provide advice to, or supply Confidential Information of Company Group to any third Person;

(c) employ, or otherwise pay for services rendered by, any employee of Company Group in any business enterprise with which you may be associated, connected or affiliated;

(d) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Company Group to cease doing business with Company Group, or in any way interfere with the then existing business relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation and Company Group; or

(e) assist, solicit, or encourage any other Person, directly or indirectly, in carrying out any activity set forth above that would be prohibited by any of the provisions of this Agreement if such activity were carried out by you. In particular, you will not, directly or indirectly, induce any employee of Company Group to carry out any such activity.

(d) Partial Invalidity. If any portion of this Section 6 is determined by an arbitrator to be unenforceable in any respect, it shall be interpreted to be valid to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such arbitrator in such action. You acknowledge the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

(e) Remedy for Breach. You agree that a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants would cause material and irreparable harm to the Company Group that would be difficult or impossible to measure, and that monetary damages for any such harm would, therefore, be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, you agree that if you breach any Restrictive Covenant, the Company Group shall be entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies the Company Group may have under this Agreement, at law or otherwise, to obtain injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief, without bond or other security, to restrain any such breach through arbitration. You further agree that the duration of the Restrictive Covenant shall be extended by the same amount of time that you are in breach of any Restrictive Covenant.

(f) Claw Back & Recovery. You agree your Award, the Shares underlying your Award, as well as the value of any and all Shares no longer under your control, are subject to forfeiture and recovery pursuant to the Company’s Clawback Policy, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Clawback Policy”), located at https://hr.bestbuy.com/, and any applicable law, rule or regulation or applicable stock exchange rule, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. You acknowledge you have had an opportunity to review the Clawback Policy. Forfeiture and recovery under the Clawback Policy may include:

(i) the immediate forfeiture of any of the then unexercised portion of any Option included in your Award, any unvested Restricted Shares included in your Award, and any Performance Share Award included in your Award;

(ii) a requirement that you immediately return to the Company any Shares issued upon exercise of any Option included in your Award, and any Shares in your Award that were previously Restricted Shares and any Shares issued under any Performance Share Award that, in each case, are still under your control; and

(iii) a requirement that you promptly pay to the Company an amount equal to the fair market value of all Shares included in your Award that are no longer under your control (as measured on the exercise date of any such Option, the vesting date of any such formerly Restricted Shares, and the date of issuance of any Shares issued under any such Performance Share Award, as applicable).

(g) Right of Set Off.By accepting the Award, you agree that any member of the Company Group may set off any amount owed to you (including wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay) against any amounts you owe under this Section 6.

7. General Terms and Conditions.

(a) Rights as a Stockholder.

(i) Options. You will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares issuable upon exercise of an Option, nor have any rights to dividends or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any such Shares, until you have actually received such Shares following the exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

(ii) Restricted Shares. Upon the issuance of Restricted Shares, you shall be entitled to exercise the rights of a stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not have the right to vote any Restricted Shares during the time period such Restricted Shares are subject to the restrictions in Section 3(a) (the “Restricted Period”), and you will not have any right to any dividends paid on Restricted Shares during the Restricted Period.

(iii) Performance Share Awards. You will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares issuable under a Performance Share Award until you have actually received such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

(iv) Dividend Equivalents. If your Award includes Restricted Shares or a Performance Share Award, upon vesting of such Restricted Shares or upon issuance of Shares underlying such Performance Share Award, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, you will be entitled to the Total Dividend Equivalent Amount with respect to such Restricted Shares or Performance Share Award. The Total Dividend Equivalent Amount will be converted to Shares and issued to you upon vesting of Restricted Shares, or issuance of Shares underlying a Performance Share Award, as applicable; provided, however, that the Committee may pay you the Total Dividend Equivalent Amount in cash, as determined in its sole discretion. Any such conversion shall be based on the closing price of one Share on the applicable dividend payment date. In the event any such conversion results in a fraction of a Share, the number of such Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company’s obligation to issue such Shares or pay such amounts are subject to the same terms and conditions as apply to your Restricted Shares and any Performance Share Award.

(A) “Dividend Equivalent Amount” means the amount of any dividend paid on one Share that has a record date during the Dividend Equivalent Period multiplied by (1) in the case of Restricted Shares, the number of Restricted Shares held by you as of such record date and, (2) in the case of a Performance Share Award, the Performance Share Number.

(B) “Dividend Equivalent Period” means the period beginning on the grant date and ending (i) in the case of Restricted Shares, on the vesting date of such Restricted Shares and, (ii) in the case of a Performance Share Award, on the date of issuance of any Shares underlying a Performance Share Award.

(c) No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement does not guarantee your continued employment nor alter the right of any member of the Company Group to terminate your employment at any time.

(d) Participant’s Acknowledgements.

(i) Committee’s Sole Discretion.

(B) Restricted Shares. Upon vesting of any Restricted Shares, you authorize the Company, or its agents, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all taxes by selling Shares of the Company on your behalf, or otherwise withholding from such Shares a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of all taxes required to be withheld by the Company, pursuant to the policies and processes of the Company’s stock plan administrator and broker.

(C) Performance Share Award.

You agree to seek the advice of your own tax advisors as to the advisability of making such a Section 83(b) election, the potential consequences of making

(a) Term and Vesting.The Option shall expire and no longer be exercisable on the tenth anniversary the Award Date or such earlier date as provided herein (such date, the “Expiration Date”). Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, in accordance with the schedule stated in the Award Notification. In no case may the Option be exercised after the Expiration Date.

(b) Method of Exercise.The Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company (through the Plan administrator or other means specified by the Company) stating the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price for all Shares to be purchased by (i) cash or check, (ii) delivery of unencumbered Shares previously acquired by you having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise that is equal to the exercise price, (iii) withholding of Shares that would otherwise be issued upon such exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price for the Shares for which the Option is being exercised or (iv) a cashless (broker-assisted) exercise that complies with all applicable laws.

3. Restricted Stock Units. This section applies to you if your Award includes Restricted Stock Units. A “RestrictedStock Unit” is a commitment by the Company to issue a certain number of Shares to you provided you meet certain employment criteria and that the Company achieves certain financial performance levels.

(a) Restrictions. Until your Restricted Stock Units become vested as provided in the Award Notification, they are subject to the restrictions described in this Agreement and the Plan (the “Restrictions”) during the period (the “Restricted Period”) beginning on the Award Date and ending on the date of vesting. Restricted Stock Units may not be assigned, transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or hypothecated (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise conveyed or encumbered, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition contrary to the provisions this Agreement or the Plan, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Restricted Stock Units, shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

(d) Issuance of Shares Underlying Restricted Stock Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company shall issue the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units within 60 days following vesting of such Restricted Stock Units.

4. Performance Share Award. This section applies to you if your Award includes a Performance Share Award. A “Performance Share Award” is a commitment by the Company to issue a certain number of Shares to you provided you meet certain employment criteria and that the Company achieves certain financial performance levels. A Performance Share Award does not represent immediate ownership of Shares.

(a) Determination of Number of Shares under Performance Share Award. Thenumber of Shares issuable under (i) the revenue component of your Performance Share Award (the “RevenuePerformance Share Number”) will be equal to a percentage of the target number of Shares stated in your Award Notification for the revenue component (“Revenue Target”) and (ii) the TSR component of your Performance Share Award (the “TSR Performance Share Number”) will be equal to a percentage of the target number of Shares stated in your Award Notification for the TSR component (“TSR Target”), in each case as determined below.

(b) Revenue Performance Share Number.

(i) Within 120 days after the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will calculate the CAGR of Enterprise Revenue from fiscal year 2018 to fiscal year 2021 (“Enterprise Revenue CAGR”). For example, if fiscal year 2018 Enterprise Revenue was $41.4 billion and fiscal year 2021 Enterprise Revenue was $43.3 billion, Enterprise Revenue CAGR would be 1.50%.

(ii) Your Revenue Performance Share Number will be equal to the percentage of the RevenueTarget that is listed in the column below with the heading “Number of Shares Earned” opposite the band in the column with the heading “Performance” in which Enterprise Revenue CAGR falls. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is between Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR and Target Enterprise Revenue CAGR or between Target Enterprise Revenue CAGR and Maximum Enterprise Revenue CAGR, your Revenue Performance Share Number will be equal to a percentage interpolated on a linear basis for performance between such amounts. For example, if Enterprise Revenue CAGR is 1.75%, then your Revenue Performance Share Number would be 125% of your Revenue Target. The Revenue Performance Share Number will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Performance	Number of Shares Earned
Enterprise Revenue CAGR less than 1.0% (“Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR”)	0
Enterprise Revenue CAGR of 1.0% or greater but less than 1.5%	50%-99% of Revenue Target
Enterprise Revenue CAGR of 1.5% (“Target Enterprise Revenue CAGR”) or greater but less than 2.0%	100% - 149% of Revenue Target
Enterprise Revenue CAGR greater than 2.0%  (“Maximum Enterprise Revenue CAGR”)	150% of Revenue Target
The number of performance shares earned will be interpolated on a linear basis for performance between Threshold and Target and between Target and Maximum.

(c) TSR Performance Share Number.

(i) Within 120 days after the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will (A) calculate the TSR for Best Buy and for each company included in the S&P 500 Index at the time of any calculation hereunder, (B) rank each such company by TSR (lowest to highest), and (C) determine the percentile rank of Best Buy’s TSR in such ranking by dividing Best Buy’s numerical position in such TSR ranking by the total number of companies

included in the list, rounding to the nearest hundredth (“Relative TSR”). For example, if Best Buy were ranked 300 out of 500, its Relative TSR would be 60%.

(ii) Your TSR Performance Share Number will be equal to the percentage of the TSRTarget that is listed in the column below with the heading “Number of Shares Earned” opposite the band in the column with the heading “Performance” in which Relative TSR falls. If Relative TSR is between Threshold TSR and Target TSR or between Target TSR and Maximum TSR, your TSR Performance Share Number will be equal to a percentage interpolated on a linear basis for performance between such amounts. For example, if Best Buy's Relative TSR is 60%, then your TSR Performance Share Number would be 125% of your TSR Target. Your TSR Performance Share Number will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Performance	Number of Shares Earned
Relative TSR less than 30% (“Threshold TSR”)	0
Relative TSR 30% or greater but less than 50%	50%-99% of TSR Target
Relative TSR 50% (“Target TSR”) or greater but less than 70%	100%-149% of TSR Target
Relative TSR Greater than 70% (“Maximum TSR”)	150% of TSR Target
The number of performance shares earned will be interpolated on a linear basis for performance between Threshold and Target and between Target and Maximum.

(d) Certain Definitions.

(i) “Beginning Price” means, with respect to any one company, the average closing price of one share of common stock during the first fiscal quarter of the Performance Period.

(ii) “CAGR” means compound annual growth rate.

(iii) “Ending Price” means, with respect to any one company, the average closing price of one share of common stock during the first fiscal quarter following completion of the Performance Period.

(iv) “Enterprise Revenue” means revenue of the Company from continuing operations as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the respective 52-week fiscal year adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations; provided, however, that the Committee may adjust Enterprise Revenue downto eliminate the following: (1) the cumulative effect of changes in GAAP (only to the extent such changes would reduce Enterprise Revenue); (2) revenue from discontinued operations; and (3) any other unusual or nonrecurring gains which are separately identified and quantified, including acquisition related revenue.

(v) “Performance Period” means the performance period stated in the Award Notification.

(vi) “Performance Share Number” means the sum of the Revenue Performance Share Number plus the TSR Performance Share Number.

(vii) “TSR” means, with respect to any one company, the price appreciation of one share of common stock as measured from the Beginning Price to the Ending Price, assuming all dividends and other distributions made on such share are reinvested, expressed as a percentage.

(e) Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine (i) Enterprise Revenue CAGR using the last completed fiscal year instead of fiscal year 2020 and (ii) Relative TSR using the average closing price of one share of common stock during the last completed fiscal quarter in order to determine the Ending Price, and the Revenue and TSR Performance Share Numbers will be equal to the greater of (i) the numbers determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) and Section 4(c)(ii) above, respectively, and (ii) the respective Revenue or TSR Target.

(f) Performance Share Number Not Guaranteed. If Relative TSR is less than 30% or Enterprise Revenue CAGR is less than 1.0%, the respective portion of your Performance Share Number will be 0 and there will be no Shares issued under that portion of your Performance Share Award. The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine Relative TSR and Enterprise Revenue.

(g) Issuance of Shares. Any Shares issuable to you under your Performance Share Award will be issued within 60 days after the Committee’s determination of Relative TSR and Enterprise Revenue CAGR; provided however, that the Company’s obligation to issue such shares is subject to Section 5 of this Agreement.

5. Effect of Termination of Employment. Your employment with the Company Group may be terminated by your employer at any time for any reason (with or without advance notice). This section provides the effect on your Award of different types of termination of employment.

(a) QualifiedRetirement. In the event of your Qualified Retirement:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, the Option will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above. You will have until the later of (A) three years from the date of your Qualified Retirement and (B) the last scheduled vesting date to exercise the entire Option; provided, however, that in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiration Date. Any portion of the Option unexercised at the end of this period will be forfeited.

Restricted Stock Units. If your Award includes Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Award Notification, subject to the Company’s achievement of the performance condition described in Section 3(c), notwithstanding that you are no longer providing services to a member of the Company Group. Once vested, the Restricted Stock Units will be settled as provided in Section 3(d) above.

(ii) Performance Shares. If your Award includes Performance Shares and in the event of your Qualified Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period, you may be entitled to a prorated Performance Share Award. If Relative TSR is greater than Threshold TSR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated TSR Performance Share Number. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is greater than Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated Revenue Performance Share Number. Your Performance Share Award will be determined by multiplying the Performance Share Number calculated as if you were employed by a member of the Company Group on the last day of the Performance Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period you were so employed, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(b) Death or Disability. In the event of your death or employment termination due to Disability:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, any then unvested portion of the Option will vest and become exercisable as of the date of death or, in the case of Disability, as of the date of employment termination. In the event of your death, the representative of your estate or your heirs will have until the earlier of (A) one year from the date of your death and (B) the Expiration Date of the Option, to exercise the Option. In the event you become Disabled while employed with the Company Group and must therefore terminate your employment, you will have until the earlier of (X) one year from the date of your employment termination and (Y) the Expiration Date of the Option, to exercise the Option.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. If your Award includes Restricted Stock Units, the Restrictions will lapse immediately and Restricted Stock Units that are unvested as of the date of death or, in the case of Disability, employment termination will become vested immediately (notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth in the Award Notification). Once vested, the Restricted Stock Units will be settled as provided in Section 3(d) above (or the earliest such later date as is required to satisfy Section 409A of the Code, as described in Section 7 below).

(iii) Performance Share Award. If your Award includes a Performance Share Award and in the event of your death or employment termination due to Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, you or the representative of your estate or your heirs, as applicable, may be entitled to a prorated Performance Share Award. If Relative TSR is greater than Threshold TSR (as determined as of the last completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination of employment to determine the Ending Price), you or the representative of your estate or your heirs, as applicable, will be entitled to a prorated TSR Performance Share Number. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is greater than Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR (using the last completed fiscal year instead of fiscal year 2020 for purposes of determining Enterprise Revenue CAGR), you will be entitled to a prorated Revenue Performance Share Number. For each component, your Performance Share Award will be

determined by multiplying the Performance Share Number calculated as of the date of termination of employment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period you were employed, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(c) InvoluntaryTermination Without Cause. If your employment is Involuntarily Terminated Without Cause:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, you will have 60 days from the date of termination of your employment to exercise the portion of the Option vested as of your termination date, and any portion of the Option then unvested will be forfeited; provided, however, that if your employment is Involuntarily Terminated Without Cause within 12 months following a Change of Control, any then unvested portion of the Option will vest and become exercisable during the period ending 60 days from the date of termination of your employment. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised after its Expiration Date.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. If your Award includes Restricted Stock Units, you will forfeit any then unvested Restricted Stock Units.

(iii) Performance Share Award. If your Award includes a Performance Share Award and your employment is Involuntarily Terminated Without Cause prior to the end of the Performance Period, you may be entitled to a prorated Performance Share Award. If Relative TSR is greater than Threshold TSR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated TSR Performance Share Number. If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is greater than Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated Revenue Performance Share Number. For each component, your Performance Share Award is determined by multiplying the Performance Share Number calculated as if you were employed by a member of the Company Group on the last day of the Performance Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period you were employed, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(d) Voluntary Termination. If you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company Group for any reason:

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, you will have 60 days from the date of termination of your employment to exercise the Option, to the extent the Option had become vested as of your termination date. Any then unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited. In no event, however, may the Option be exercised after its Expiration Date.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. If your Award includes Restricted Stock Units, you will forfeit any then unvested Restricted Stock Units.

(i) Options. If your Award includes an Option, any then unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited, and the Option may not be exercised after termination of your employment.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. If your Award includes Restricted Stock Units, any then unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited.

6. Restrictive Covenants and Remedies. By accepting the Award, you specifically agree to the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) and you agree that the Restrictive Covenants and the remedies described herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company Group. Sections 6(b) and 6(c) apply to you only if you are an officer of the Company. Further, if you are an attorney, the Restrictive Covenants

apply to you only to the extent they are consistent with the rules of professional conduct applicable to you (for example, Minnesota Rule of Professional Conduct 5.6).

(a) Confidentiality. In consideration of the Award, you acknowledge that the Company Group operates in a competitive environment and has a substantial interest in protecting its Confidential Information, and you agree, during your employment with the Company Group and thereafter, to maintain the confidentiality of the Company Group’s Confidential Information and to use such Confidential Information for the exclusive benefit of the Company Group. You will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.  You shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 

(b) Competitive Activity. During your employment with the Company Group and for one year following the later of (i) termination of your employment for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled vesting date for your Award, you shall not compete, directly or indirectly, through an Affiliate or otherwise, in any manner or capacity (including, without limitation, through any form of ownership or as a principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, advisor or consultant) with the Company Group, for your benefit or for the benefit of any other Person other than the Company Group anywhere in the world. In the event that any portion of this Section 6(b) shall be determined by an arbitrator to be unenforceable because it is unreasonably restrictive in any respect, it shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it reasonably may be enforced and to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced in all other respects, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such arbitrator in such action. You acknowledge the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law. Ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation listed on a national securities exchange will not constitute a breach of this Section 6(b).

(c) Non-Solicitation. During your employment and for one year following the later of (i) termination of your employment for any reason whatsoever or (ii) the last scheduled award vesting date, you shall not:

(a) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of Company Group, or in any way interfere adversely with the relationship between any such employee and Company Group;

(b) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Company Group to work for, render services to, provide advice to, or supply Confidential Information of Company Group to any third Person;

(c) employ, or otherwise pay for services rendered by, any employee of Company Group in any business enterprise with which you may be associated, connected or affiliated;

(d) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Company Group to cease doing business with Company Group, or in any way interfere with the then existing business relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation and Company Group; or

(e) assist, solicit, or encourage any other Person, directly or indirectly, in carrying out any activity set forth above that would be prohibited by any of the provisions of this Agreement if such activity were carried out by you. In particular, you will not, directly or indirectly, induce any employee of Company Group to carry out any such activity.

(d) Partial Invalidity. If any portion of this Section 6 is determined by an arbitrator to be unenforceable in any respect, it shall be interpreted to be valid to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such arbitrator in such action. You acknowledge the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

(e) Remedy for Breach. You agree that a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants would cause material and irreparable harm to the Company Group that would be difficult or impossible to measure, and that monetary damages for any such harm would, therefore, be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, you agree that if you breach any Restrictive Covenant, the Company Group shall be entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies the Company Group may have under this Agreement, at law or otherwise, to obtain injunctive or other

appropriate equitable relief, without bond or other security, to restrain any such breach through arbitration. You further agree that the duration of the Restrictive Covenant shall be extended by the same amount of time that you are in breach of any Restrictive Covenant.

(f) Claw Back & Recovery. You agree your Award, the Shares underlying your Award, as well as the value of any and all Shares no longer under your control, are subject to forfeiture and recovery pursuant to the Company’s Clawback Policy, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Clawback Policy”), located at https://hr.bestbuy.com/, and any applicable law, rule or regulation or applicable stock exchange rule, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. You acknowledge you have had an opportunity to review the Clawback Policy. Forfeiture and recovery under the Clawback Policy may include:

(i) the immediate forfeiture of any of the then unexercised portion of any Option included in your Award, any unvested Restricted Shares included in your Award, and any Performance Share Award included in your Award;

(ii) a requirement that you immediately return to the Company any Shares issued upon exercise of any Option included in your Award, and any Shares in your Award that were previously Restricted Shares and any Shares issued under any Performance Share Award that, in each case, are still under your control; and

(iii) a requirement that you promptly pay to the Company an amount equal to the fair market value of all Shares included in your Award that are no longer under your control (as measured on the exercise date of any such Option, the vesting date of any such formerly Restricted Shares, and the date of issuance of any Shares issued under any such Performance Share Award, as applicable).

(g) Right of Set Off.By accepting the Award, you agree that any member of the Company Group may set off any amount owed to you (including wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay) against any amounts you owe under this Section 6.

7. General Terms and Conditions.

(a) Rights as a Stockholder.

(i) Options. You will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares issuable upon exercise of an Option, nor have any rights to dividends or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any such Shares, until you have actually received such Shares following the exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. You will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares issuable under the Restricted Stock Units until you have actually received such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. This means that you will not have the right to vote as a shareholder nor the right to receive dividend payments. Upon issuance of Shares at vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, you will have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares unless Shares are forfeited or recovered under this Agreement or the Plan.

(iii) Performance Share Awards. You will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares issuable under a Performance Share Award until you have actually received such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

(iv) Dividend Equivalents. If your Award includes Restricted Shares or a Performance Share Award, upon vesting of such Restricted Shares or upon issuance of Shares underlying such Performance Share Award, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, you will be entitled to the Total Dividend Equivalent Amount with respect to such Restricted Shares or Performance Share Award. The Total Dividend Equivalent Amount will be converted to Shares and issued to you upon vesting of Restricted Shares, or issuance of Shares underlying a Performance Share Award, as applicable; provided, however, that the Committee may pay you the Total Dividend Equivalent Amount in cash, as determined in its sole discretion. Any such conversion shall be based on the closing price of one Share on the applicable dividend payment date. In the event any such conversion results in a fraction of a Share, the number of such Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company’s obligation to issue such Shares or pay such amounts are subject to the same terms and conditions as apply to your Restricted Shares and any Performance Share Award.

(A) “Dividend Equivalent Amount” means the amount of any dividend paid on one Share that has a record date during the Dividend Equivalent Period multiplied by (1) in the case of Restricted Shares, the number of Restricted Shares held by you as of such record date and, (2) in the case of a Performance Share Award, the Performance Share Number.

(B) “Dividend Equivalent Period” means the period beginning on the grant date and ending (i) in the case of Restricted Shares, on the vesting date of such Restricted Shares and, (ii) in the case of a Performance Share Award, on the date of issuance of any Shares underlying a Performance Share Award.

(C) “TotalDividend Equivalent Amount” means the sum of all Dividend Equivalent Amounts with respect the Restricted Shares granted under this Agreement or the Performance Share Award granted under this Agreement, as applicable.

(b) Transferability.

(i) Options. Options may not be assigned, transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or hypothecated (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise conveyed or encumbered, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units are subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement.

(iii) Performance Share Awards. Performance Share Awards may not be assigned, transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or hypothecated (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise conveyed or encumbered, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of a Performance Share Award contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon a Performance Share Award, shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

(c) No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement does not guarantee your continued employment nor alter the right of any member of the Company Group to terminate your employment at any time.

(d) Participant’s Acknowledgements.

(i) Committee’s Sole Discretion. The Committee has sole discretion to make decisions regarding your Award, and to interpret all terms of this Agreement, with the exception of the application of the Company’s Arbitration Policy. You agree that all decisions regarding and interpretations of this Agreement by the Committee are binding, conclusive, final and non-appealable.

(ii) Taxes. You are liable for any for any federal, state and other taxes incurred upon the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture (e.g., employment taxes) or upon delivery of Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units (e.g., income taxes), and any subsequent disposition of any Shares (e.g., capital gain taxes).

(i) Options. Any Options included in your Award are Non-Qualified Stock Options not eligible for treatment as qualified or incentive stock options for federal income tax purposes.  Prior to exercising any Option, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all applicable taxes.  If applicable, you authorize the Company, or its agents, to satisfy its obligations with regard to all taxes by withholding Shares of the Company common stock to be issued at exercise of the Option or otherwise selling Shares of the Company on your behalf equal to the amount of all taxes required to be withheld by the Company, pursuant to the policies and processes of the Company’s stock plan administrator and broker.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. Upon issuance of any Shares underlying your Restricted Stock Units, you authorize the Company, or its agents, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all taxes by selling Shares of the Company on your behalf, or otherwise withholding from such Shares a number of Shares having a

Fair Market Value equal to the amount of all taxes required to be withheld by the Company, pursuant to the policies and processes of the Company’s stock plan administrator and broker.    

(iii) Performance Share Award. Upon issuance of your Performance Share Award, you authorize the Company, or its agents, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all taxes by selling Shares of the Company on your behalf, or otherwise withholding from such Shares a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of all taxes required to be withheld by the Company, pursuant to the policies and processes of the Company’s stock plan administrator and broker.

(iv) Section 409A. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to comply with or satisfy an exemption from Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). The Committee may in good faith make the minimum modifications to this Agreement as it may deem appropriate to comply with Section 409A while to the maximum extent reasonably possible maintaining the original intent and economic benefit to you and the Company Group of the applicable provision.

(1) To the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent that you are a specified employee, Shares (or cash equivalent value of Shares) underlying Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Awards that become payable to you upon your separation from service will be delayed and paid promptly after the earlier of the date that is six (6) months after the date of such separation from service or the date of your death after such separation from service. For purposes hereof, (x) any reference to your termination of employment under this Agreement shall mean your separation from service, (y) the occurrence of your “separation from service” will be determined in accordance with the default provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and (z) whether you are a “specified employee” will be determined in accordance with the default provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) with the “identification date” to be December 31 and the “effective date” to be the April 1 following the identification date (as such terms are used under such regulation). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, your employment shall not be deemed to have been terminated unless and until you have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(2) For purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under this Agreement shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment.

(iii) Consultation With Professional Tax Advisors. You acknowledge that the grant, exercise, vesting or any payment with respect to the Award, and the sale or other taxable disposition of the Shares acquired as a result of the Award may have tax consequences under federal, state, local or international tax laws. You further acknowledge that you are relying solely on your own professional tax and investment advisors with respect to any and all such matters (and are not relying, in any manner, on the Company or any of its employees or representatives). You understand and agree that any and all tax consequences resulting from the Award and its grant, exercise, vesting or any payment with respect thereto, and the sale or other taxable disposition of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan, are solely your responsibility without any expectation or understanding that the Company or any of its employees or representatives will pay or reimburse you for such taxes.

(a) Severability. In the event that any provision in the Plan or this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable or would disqualify the Plan or this Agreement under any law, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or this Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to the applicable jurisdiction or Shares, and the remainder of the Plan or this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(b) Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. Any disputes under this Agreement or the Plan must be resolved by arbitration subject to the Company’s Arbitration Policy. The substantive laws of Minnesota, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, shall apply to all questions concerning this Agreement to the extent not prohibited by the applicable law of the State in which you primarily work and reside; however, the Arbitration Policy, its enforceability, and its implementation are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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 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 3, 2018. The first three months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 included 13 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 May 6, 2018, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.

Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases, and has since issued additional ASUs to further clarify or add options to the issued guidance. The new guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among companies by requiring most leases to be included on the balance sheet and by expanding disclosure requirements. Based on the effective dates, we expect to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 using the recently-proposed prospective method and have begun implementing required upgrades to our existing lease systems. While we expect adoption to lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheet and an increase to our footnote disclosures related to leases, we are still evaluating the impact on our consolidated statement of earnings. We also expect that adoption of the new standard will require changes to our internal controls over financial reporting.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we prospectively adopted the following ASUs, all of which had an immaterial impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

• ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

• ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging

• ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we also adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue and supersedes most revenue recognition guidance. It introduces a five-step process for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards under previous guidance. We elected the modified retrospective method of adoption, which we applied to contracts not completed at the date of adoption. Under this method, we recorded an increase to opening retained earnings of $73 million, net of tax, due to the cumulative impact of these changes. The impact was primarily related to the timing of revenue recognition related to our gift cards, the sale of certain software licenses and our loyalty programs. We did not make any adjustment to prior period financial statements. We expect the impact of adoption to be immaterial to our revenue, net earnings and cash flows on an ongoing basis. As part of the adoption, we also modified certain control procedures and processes, none of which had a material effect on our internal controls over financial reporting.

The following table reconciles the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet line items impacted by the adoption of this standard on February 4, 2018 ($ in millions):

	February 3, 2018 As Reported		ASU 2014-09 Adjustment on February 4, 2018			February 4, 2018 Adjusted

Contract with Customer, Asset and Liability [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of merchandise products and services, both as a principal and as an agent. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed below as variable consideration. We generate all of our operating revenue from contracts with customers. Our revenue excludes sales and usage-based taxes collected.

Revenue from merchandise product sales and services is reported net of sales refunds, which includes an estimate of future returns and contract cancellations based on historical refund rates, with a corresponding reduction to cost of sales. There is inherent judgment in estimating future refunds as they are susceptible to factors outside of our influence. However, we have significant experience in estimating the amount of refunds, based primarily on historical data. Our refund liability for sales returns was $68 million at May 5, 2018, which is included in Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and represents the expected value of the aggregate refunds that will be due to our customers. We also have a corresponding asset included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that represents the inventory we expect to be returned, valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of May 5, 2018, this amount was $46 million.

For revenue transactions that involve more than one performance obligation, we defer the revenue associated with any unsatisfied performance obligation until the obligation is satisfied, i.e., when control of a product is transferred to the customer or a service is completed. For such contracts, we allocate revenue and any discounts to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or, when directly observable selling prices are not available, we generally use an expected cost-plus margin approach.

Our contract liabilities primarily relate to product merchandise not yet delivered to customers; unredeemed gift cards; services not yet completed; services technical support contracts, where performance is satisfied over the duration of the contract; and options that provide a material right to customers, such as our customer loyalty programs. Most of our contract liabilities have a duration of one year or less, except our services technical support contracts, which may have a duration of up to three years. We do not have any material contract assets.

The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from our contracts with customers, which reflects the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of May 5, 2018, and February 4, 2018 ($ in millions):

	May 5, 2018		February 4, 2018

We establish allowances for uncollectible receivables based on historical collection trends and write-off history.The following table summarizes our allowance for doubtful account activity related to contracts with customers during the three months ended May 5, 2018 ($ in millions):

Remainder of fiscal 2019	$	20
Fiscal 2020	15
Fiscal 2021	6
Fiscal 2022	2

(1) We have elected to exclude unsatisfied performance obligations from contract liability balances with a duration of one year or less. The estimated transaction price disclosed above also does not include amounts of variable consideration attributable to contracts where the consideration is constrained at May 5, 2018. Further information about our forms of variable consideration are disclosed below.

We apply a practical expedient to expense direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

See Note 10, Segments, for a disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment and product category, which represents how our chief operating decision maker reviews information internally to evaluate our financial performance and to make resource allocation and other decisions for the enterprise.

Merchandise product revenue

Merchandise product revenue is recognized when control passes, which generally occurs at a point in time when the customer completes a transaction in the store and receives the merchandise. Our payment terms are typically at the point of sale. In the case of items paid for in the store, but subsequently delivered to the customer, control passes and revenue is recognized once delivery has been completed, as we have transferred possession to the customer.

For transactions initiated online, customers choose whether to have it delivered to them (using third-party parcel delivery companies) or to collect their merchandise from one of our stores (“in-store pick up”). For items delivered directly to the customer, control passes and revenue is recognized when delivery has been completed, as title has passed and we have transferred possession to the customer. For in-store pick up, control passes and revenue is recognized once the customer has taken possession of the merchandise. Any fees charged to customers for delivery are a component of the transaction price and are recognized when delivery has been completed. We use delivery information at an individual contract level to determine when to recognize revenue for products and any related delivery fee revenue.

Generally, we are the principal to the contract as we have control of the physical merchandise products prior to transfer to the customer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. For certain sales, primarily activation-based software licenses and third-party stored-value cards, we are the sales agent providing access to the content and recognize fixed commission revenue net of amounts due to third parties who fulfill the performance obligation. For these sales, control passes upon providing access to the customer of the content.

Warranty obligations associated with the sale of our exclusive brands products are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the product’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract.

Services - When we are the principal

We recognize service revenue for installation, set-up, software troubleshooting, product repair, consultation and educational classes once the service is completed, as this is when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of the service or serviced product. Payment terms are typically at the point of sale, but may also occur upon completion of the service. Our service contracts are primarily with retail customers, merchandise vendors (for factory warranty repairs) and third-party underwriters who sell extended warranty protection plans.

For technical support membership contracts, we are responsible for fulfilling the support services to customers. These contracts have terms ranging from one month to three years and typically contain multiple performance obligations. Payment is due at the start of the contract period. We have determined that our contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our payment terms is to provide customers with a simplified method of purchasing our services, not to provide customers with financing. We recognize revenue over time on a service consumption basis, an input method of measuring progress over the related contract term. This method is based on historical utilization patterns as this depicts when customers use the services provided and, accordingly, when the transfer of services occurs. There is judgment in (1) determining the level at which we apply a portfolio approach to these contracts, and (2) measuring the relative standalone selling price for performance obligations within these contracts to the extent that they are only bundled and sold to customers with other performance obligations. When direct observable evidence of the standalone selling price is not available, a cost-plus margin approach is generally used. Additionally, there is judgment in (3) assessing the pattern of delivery across multiple portfolios of customers, including measuring future progress based on historical consumption patterns. When sufficient history of consumption is unavailable, we generally recognize revenue ratably over the life of the contract.

Services - When we are the agent

We sell various hardware protection plans to customers that provide extended warranty coverage on their device purchases. Such plans have terms ranging from one month to five years. Payment is due at the point of sale. Third-party underwriters assume the risk associated with the coverage and are primarily responsible for fulfillment. We record the fixed net commissions (the amount charged to the customer less the premiums remitted to the underwriter) as revenue at a point in time when the corresponding merchandise product revenue is recognized. In addition, we are eligible to receive profit-sharing payments, a form of variable consideration, which are dependent upon the profitable performance of the portfolio. We do not share in any losses of the portfolio. We record any such profit share as revenue once the uncertainty associated with the portfolio period, which is calendar-year based, is no longer constrained using the expected value method. This typically occurs when claims experience for the annual period is known in our fiscal fourth quarter, with payment of the profit share occurring in the subsequent fiscal year.

We earn fixed commissions from mobile network carriers to sell service contracts on their platforms. Revenue is recognized when control passes at a point in time upon sale of the contract and activation of the customer on the provider’s platform. The term between when we bill the content provider and when we receive payment is generally within 30 to 60 days, which is after control has passed. Activation commissions are subject to repayment to the carrier primarily due to customer cancellation for specified time periods after the sale. Commission revenue from mobile network carriers is reported net of the expected cancellations, which we estimate based on historical cancellation rates.

Credit card revenue

We offer promotional financing and credit cards issued by third-party banks that manage and directly extend credit to our customers. We provide a license to our brand and marketing services, and we facilitate credit applications in our stores and online. The banks are the sole owners of the accounts receivable generated under the program and, accordingly, we do not hold any customer receivables related to these programs and act as an agent in the financing transactions with customers. We are eligible to receive a profit share from our banking partner based on the annual performance of the program, and we receive quarterly payments based on forecasts of full-year performance. This is a form of variable consideration. We record such profit share as revenue over time using the most likely amount method, which reflects the amount earned each quarter when it is determined that the likelihood of a significant revenue reversal is not probable, which is typically quarterly. Profit-share payments occur quarterly, shortly after the end of each program quarter.

Best Buy gift cards

We sell Best Buy gift cards to our customers in our retail stores, online and through select third parties. Our gift cards do not have an expiration date. We recognize revenue from gift cards when the card is redeemed by the customer. We also recognize revenue for the portion of gift card values that is not expected to be redeemed ("breakage"). We estimate breakage based on historical patterns and take into account other factors, such as laws and regulations applicable to each jurisdiction.

We recognize gift card breakage based on the expected pattern of gift card redemptions, based on analysis of historic trends. Typically, over 90% of gift card values are redeemed within one year of issuance. There is judgment in assessing (1) the level at which we group gift cards based for analysis of breakage rates, (2) redemption patterns, and (3) the ultimate value of gift cards which we do not expect to be redeemed.

Sales incentives

We frequently offer sales incentives that entitle our customers to receive a gift card at the time of purchase or an instant savings coupon that can be redeemed towards a future purchase. For sales incentives issued to customers that are only earned in conjunction with the purchase of merchandise products or services, the sales incentives represent an option that is a material right and, accordingly, is a performance obligation in the contract. The relative standalone selling price of these sales incentives is deferred as a contract liability, based on the cards or coupons that are projected to be redeemed. We recognize revenue for this performance obligation when it is redeemed by the customer or when it is not expected to be redeemed. There is judgment in determining (1) the level at which we group incentives based on similar redemption patterns in order to estimate future redemption patterns of those groups, and (2) the ultimate number of incentives that we do not expect to be redeemed.

We also issue coupons that are not earned in conjunction with a purchase of a merchandise product or service, typically as part of targeted marketing activities. This is not a performance obligation, but is recognized as a reduction of the transaction price when redeemed by the customer.

Customer loyalty programs

We have customer loyalty programs which allow members to earn points for each qualifying purchase. Points earned enable members to receive a certificate that may be redeemed on future purchases at our Best Buy branded stores. Depending on the customer's membership level within our loyalty program, certificate expirations typically range from 2 to 12 months from the date of issuance. Our loyalty programs represent customer options that provide a material right and, accordingly, are performance obligations for each applicable contract. The relative standalone selling price of points earned by our loyalty program members is deferred and included in Accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the percentage of points that are projected to be redeemed. We recognize revenue for this performance obligation over time when a certificate is estimated to be redeemed by the customer. There is judgment in measuring the standalone selling price of this performance obligation related to our estimate of the amount of and subsequent timing of redemptions of certificates (“certificate breakage”). We determine our certificate breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, we use a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017, by level within the fair value hierarchy as determined by the valuation techniques we used to determine the fair value ($ in millions):

Money market funds. Our money market fund investments were measured at fair value as they trade in an active market using quoted market prices and, therefore, were classified as Level 1.

Commercial paper. Our investments in commercial paper were measured using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and, therefore, were classified as Level 2.

Time deposits. Our time deposits are balances held with banking institutions that cannot be withdrawn for specified terms without a penalty. Time deposits are held at face value plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 2.

Foreign currency derivative instruments. Comprised primarily of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency swap contracts, our foreign currency derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign interest rates. Our foreign currency derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Interest rate swap derivative instruments. Our interest rate swap contracts were measured at fair value using readily observable inputs, such as the LIBOR interest rate. Our interest rate swap derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Marketable securities that fund deferred compensation. The assets that fund our deferred compensation consist of investments in mutual funds. These investments were classified as Level 1 as the shares of these mutual funds trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to our tangible fixed assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For these assets, we do not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value, except in the event of impairment. When we determine that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference is recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses and Restructuring charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for non-restructuring and restructuring charges, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value remeasurements of property and equipment impairments recorded during the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	Impairments
	Three Months Ended				Remaining Net Carrying Value(1)
	May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017		May 5, 2018		April 29, 2017
Property and equipment (non-restructuring)	$	2	$	5	$	—	$	—

(1) Remaining net carrying value approximates fair value. Because assets subject to long-lived asset impairment are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, certain fair value measurements presented in the table may reflect values at earlier measurement dates and may no longer represent the fair values at May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017.

All of the fair value remeasurements included in the table above were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Fixed asset fair values were derived using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model to estimate the present value of net cash flows that the asset or asset group was expected to generate. The key inputs to the DCF model generally included our forecasts of net cash generated from revenue, expenses and other significant cash outflows, such as capital expenditures, as well as an appropriate discount rate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments, other than those presented in the disclosures above, include cash, receivables, other investments, accounts payable, other payables and long-term debt. The fair values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximated 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 fair value. See Note 5, Debt, for information about the fair value of our long-term debt.

Restructuring Charges

Charges incurred in the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017, for our restructuring activities were $30 million and $0 million, respectively. All charges incurred in the current period related to Best Buy Mobile.

Best Buy Mobile

On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to close all of our 257 remaining Best Buy Mobile stand-alone stores in the U.S. This decision was a result of changing economics in the mobile industry since we began opening these stores in 2006, along with the integration of our mobile model into our core stores and on-line channel, which are today more economically compelling. All restructuring charges related to this plan are from continuing operations and are presented in Restructuring charges on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The composition of the restructuring charges we incurred for Best Buy Mobile during the three months ended May 5, 2018, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 5, 2018, were as follows ($ in millions):

	Three Months Ended		Cumulative Amount

We have remaining vacant space liabilities at May 5, 2018, of $13 million related to our Canadian Brand consolidation restructuring program, $11 million related to our Renew Blue restructuring program and $3 million related to our U.S. large-format store closures in fiscal 2013. We may continue to incur immaterial adjustments to these liabilities for changes in sublease assumptions or potential lease buyouts. In addition, lease payments for vacated stores will continue until leases expire or are terminated.

Short-Term Debt

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

On April 17, 2018, 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 originally scheduled to expire in June 2021, but was terminated on April 17, 2018. The Five-Year Facility Agreement permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion and expires in April 2023. At May 5, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding. In addition, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Previous Facility as of February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017.

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) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s prime rate, (2) the greater of the federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 0.5%, and (3) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), subject to certain adjustments plus 1%, and (b) a variable margin rate (the “ABR Margin”); or (ii) the LIBOR plus a variable margin rate (the “LIBOR Margin”). In addition, a facility fee is assessed on the commitment amount. The ABR Margin, LIBOR 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 0.00% to 0.30%, the LIBOR Margin ranges from 0.80% to 1.30%, and the facility fee ranges from 0.08% to 0.20%. 

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 other fundamental changes;or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The Five-Year Facility Agreement also contains covenants that require us to maintain a maximum cash flow leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Five-Year Facility Agreement contains default provisions including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due and failure to comply with covenants.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following at Mat 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ in millions):

	May 5, 2018			February 3, 2018			April 29, 2017

Total long-term debt, less current portion	$	792		$	811		$	1,302

Our 2018 Notes, due August 1, 2018, are classified within our Current portion of long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 5, 2018. The fair value of total long-term debt, excluding debt discounts and issuance costs and financing and capital lease obligations, approximated $1,176 million, $1,199 million and $1,229 million at May 5, 2018, February 3, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively, based primarily on the market prices quoted from external sources, compared with carrying values of $1,140 million, $1,145 million and $1,153 million, respectively. If long-term debt was measured at fair value in the financial statements, it would be classified primarily as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain risks through the use of foreign currency derivative instruments and interest rate swaps. Our objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of net earnings, cash flows and net asset value associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have no derivatives that have credit risk-related contingent features, and we mitigate our credit risk by engaging with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings as our counterparties.

We record all derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and evaluate hedge effectiveness prospectively and retrospectively when electing to apply hedge accounting. We formally document all hedging relations at inception for derivative hedges and the underlying hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, we have derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments.

Net Investment Hedges

We use 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. The contracts have terms of up to 12 months. For a net investment hedge, we recognize changes in the fair value of the derivative as a component of foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investment being hedged, until the investment is sold or liquidated. We limit recognition in net earnings of amounts previously recorded in other comprehensive income to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation. We report the gains and losses, if any, related to the amount excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness in net earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps

We use "receive fixed-rate, pay variable-rate" interest rate swaps to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our 2018 Notes and 2021 Notes. Our interest rate swap contracts are considered perfect hedges because the critical terms and notional amounts match those of our fixed-rate debt being hedged and are, therefore, accounted for as fair value hedges using the shortcut method. Under the shortcut method, we recognize the change in the fair value of the derivatives with an offsetting change to the carrying value of the debt. Accordingly, there is no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings from the fair value of the derivatives.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to recognized receivable and payable balances denominated in non-functional currencies. The contracts generally have terms of up to 12 months. These derivative instruments are not designated in hedging relationships and, therefore, we record gains and losses on these contracts directly to net earnings.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

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 potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, nonvested share awards and shares issuable under our employee stock purchase plan. Nonvested market-based share awards and nonvested performance-based share awards are included in the average diluted shares outstanding for each period, if established market or performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective periods.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended

Weighted-average common shares outstanding	282.6		309.2
Dilutive effect of stock compensation plan awards	5.7		5.8
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution	288.3		315.0
Basic earnings per share	$	0.74	$	0.61
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.72	$	0.60

The number of potential shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive were 0.1 million and 0.7 million for the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017, respectively.

Beginning with our annual broad grant of restricted stock and restricted stock units in March 2018, we attach dividend equivalents to our restricted stock and restricted stock units equal to dividends payable on the same number of shares of Best Buy common stock during the applicable period. Dividend equivalents, settled in additional shares of Best Buy common stock, accrue on restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards during the vesting period. No dividend equivalents are paid on any restricted stock or restricted stock units that are forfeited prior to the vesting date.

Repurchase of Common Stock

In February 2017, our Board of Directors ("Board") authorized a $5.0 billion share repurchase program that superseded the previous $5.0 billion authorization from 2011. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the February 2017 authorization. On March 1, 2018, we announced our intent to repurchase at least $1.5 billion of shares in fiscal 2019, which reflects an updated two-year plan of $3.5 billion compared to the original $3.0 billion two-year plan announced March 1, 2017.

The following table presents information regarding the shares we repurchased during the three months ended May 5, 2018, and April 29, 2017 ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

Segment Reporting

Segments

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. Our business is organized into two reportable segments: Domestic (which is comprised of all states, districts and territories of the U.S.) and International (which is comprised of all operations in Canada and Mexico). Our CODM has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our CODM determines, in particular, resource allocation for, and monitors the performance of, the consolidated enterprise, the Domestic segment and the International segment. The Domestic segment managers and International segment managers have responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance within their respective segments. Our CODM relies on internal management reporting that analyzes enterprise results to the net earnings level and segment results to the operating income level.

We aggregate our Canada and Mexico businesses into one International operating segment. Our Domestic and International operating segments also represent our reportable segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. Among other things, the Tax Act lowered the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, broadened the base to which U.S. income tax applies, imposed a one-time deemed repatriation tax on net unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries not previously subject to U.S. income tax and changed how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. income tax.

In response to the Tax Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Act. SAB 118 allows companies to record provisional amounts to the extent that they are reasonably estimable and adjust them over time as more information becomes available, not to extend beyond the measurement period of one year from the enactment of the Tax Act.

As a result of the Tax Act and in accordance with SAB 118, we recorded provisional tax expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the deemed repatriation tax and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the new tax rate.  We have not made any measurement period adjustments related to these items during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We continue to gather and analyze additional information needed to complete our accounting for these items and expect to complete our accounting within the one-year measurement period provided by SAB 118. Any adjustment to these amounts during the measurement period will be recorded in income tax expense in the period in which the analysis is complete.

Beginning in fiscal 2019, the Tax Act created a provision known as the global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) that imposes a tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Due to the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, we are not yet able to reasonably determine the complete effects of this provision. Therefore, we have not yet elected a policy as to whether we will recognize deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse or record GILTI as a current period cost when incurred. We have, however, included an estimate of the current GILTI impact in our effective tax rate for fiscal 2019.

Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018, for additional information.

We are involved in a number of legal proceedings. Where appropriate, we have made accruals with respect to these matters, which are reflected in 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.

Securities Actions

In February 2011, a purported class action lawsuit captioned, IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Best Buy Co., Inc., et al., was filed against us and certain of our executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. This federal court action alleges, among other things, that we and the officers named in the complaint violated Sections 10(b) and 20A of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act in connection with press releases and other statements relating to our fiscal 2011 earnings guidance that had been made available to the public. Additionally, in March 2011, a similar purported class action was filed by a single shareholder, Rene LeBlanc, against us and certain of our executive officers in the same court. In July 2011, after consolidation of the IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund and Rene LeBlanc actions, a consolidated complaint captioned, IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund v. Best Buy Co., Inc., et al., was filed and served. Following discovery and motion practice Plaintiffs moved to certify the purported class. By Order filed August 6, 2014, the court certified a class of persons or entities who acquired Best Buy common stock between 10:00 a.m. EDT on September 14, 2010, and December 13, 2010, and who were damaged by the alleged violations of law. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals granted our request for interlocutory appeal. On April 12, 2016, the 8th Circuit held the trial court misapplied the law and reversed the class certification order. IBEW petitioned the 8th Circuit for a rehearing en banc, which was denied on June 1, 2016. On June 23, 2017, the trial court denied plaintiff's request to file a new Motion for Class Certification. On October 30, 2017, plaintiffs filed with the trial court a motion for leave to file a second amended class action complaint which Best Buy opposed in a filing on November 6, 2017. That motion is pending. We continue to believe that the remaining individual plaintiff's allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend our company in this matter.

In June 2011, a purported shareholder derivative action captioned, Salvatore M. Talluto, Derivatively and on Behalf of Best Buy Co., Inc. v. Richard M. Schulze, et al., as Defendants and Best Buy Co., Inc. as Nominal Defendant, was filed against both present and former members of our Board serving during the relevant periods in fiscal 2011 and us as a nominal defendant in the U.S. District Court for the State of Minnesota. The lawsuit alleges that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duty, among other claims, including violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, in failing to correct public misrepresentations and material misstatements and/or omissions regarding our fiscal 2011 earnings projections and, for certain directors, selling stock while in possession of material adverse non-public information. Additionally, in July 2011, a similar purported class action was filed by a single shareholder, Daniel Himmel, against us and certain of our executive officers in the same court. In November 2011, the respective lawsuits of Salvatore M. Talluto and Daniel Himmel were consolidated into a new action captioned, In Re: Best Buy Co., Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, and a stay ordered pending the close of discovery in the consolidated IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund v. Best Buy Co., Inc., et al. case. Additionally, in June 2015, a similar purported class action was filed by a single shareholder, Khuong Tran, derivatively on behalf of Best Buy Co., Inc. against us and certain of our executive officers and directors in the same court. The Khuong Tran lawsuit has also been stayed pending the close of discovery in IBEW.

The plaintiffs in the above securities actions seek damages, including interest, equitable relief and reimbursement of the costs and expenses they incurred in the lawsuits. As stated above, we believe the allegations in the above securities actions are without merit, and we intend to defend these actions vigorously. Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the claims in the above securities actions, their respective procedural litigation history and the degree to which we intend to defend our company in these matters, the amount or range of reasonably possible losses, if any, cannot be estimated.

Other Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of conducting business. For such legal proceedings, we have accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the variable treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings, we are not able to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses. However, based upon our historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
