BEST BUY CO., INC.
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 realized more of our revenue and a large portion of our earnings in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season in the U.S., Europe, Canada and Mexico, than in any other fiscal quarter. 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 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013. The first quarter of fiscal 2014 included 13 weeks and the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included 14 weeks.
 
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we changed our fiscal year-end from the Saturday nearest the end of February to the Saturday nearest the end of January. As a result of this change, our fiscal year 2013 was an 11-month transition period ending on February 2, 2013. The results for the three months ended May 5, 2012 include our fiscal month ended March 3, 2012 for operations that are not reported on a lag (primarily our Domestic segment and Canadian operations), which were also included in our results for the fiscal year ended March 2, 2012, included in our fiscal 2012 Form 10-K. See Note 2, Fiscal Year-end Change, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, for additional information regarding our fiscal year-end change.
 
In order to align our fiscal reporting periods and comply with statutory filing requirements in certain foreign jurisdictions, we consolidate the financial results of our Europe, China and 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 consolidated financial statements. Other than the sale of our Switzerland operations, as described in Note 2, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, no such events were identified for this period.

The assets and liabilities of Best Buy Europe are reported as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 4, 2013, as a result of our agreement to sell our 50% interest in Best Buy Europe to Carphone Warehouse Group plc ("CPW"). Consistent with this presentation, the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements exclude the assets and liabilities of Best Buy Europe as of May 4, 2013. The composition of the assets and liabilities held for sale is included in Note 2, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from May 5, 2013 through the date the financial statements were issued, for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.

2.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

On April 29, 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement with CPW to sell our 50% ownership interest in Best Buy Europe to CPW in return for net proceeds of £471 million ($733 million based on the exchange rates in effect at May 4, 2013). Net proceeds represent a sale price of £500 million less £29 million of costs we have agreed to pay CPW in satisfaction of obligations under existing agreements, and will be in the form of cash, deferred cash and CPW ordinary shares. The transaction is subject to approval of CPW shareholders and certain European regulators. We expect the transaction to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. In connection with this transaction, we entered into a deal-contingent forward foreign currency contract to hedge the minimum value of the proceeds we will receive. Refer to Note 8, Derivative Instruments, for additional information regarding the deal-contingent forward contract. As a result of our commitment to sell Best Buy Europe, we also recognized a $175 million impairment (which is not tax deductible) to write down the book value of our investment in Best Buy Europe to fair value based on expected net proceeds. Proceeds from the sale of our interest in Best Buy Europe,

Table of Contents

denominated in British Pound Sterlings ("GBP"), are expected to exceed our GBP book value of Best Buy Europe. However, devaluation of GBP against the U.S. Dollar since the time of our original acquisition has led to significant accumulated foreign currency losses, which will be recognized on disposal of Best Buy Europe, and the aforementioned impairment reflects the impact of these foreign currency losses.

The assets and liabilities of Best Buy Europe as of May 4, 2013 are classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the results of Best Buy Europe are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The composition of assets and liabilities held for sale as of May 4, 2013 was as follows ($ in millions):

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and prior to the aforementioned sale agreement, Best Buy Europe sold its fixed-line business in Switzerland, which resulted in a gain of $28 million (with no tax impact).

Discontinued operations comprise: (i) Napster operations within our Domestic segment; (ii) large-format Best Buy branded store operations in China within our International segment; and (iii) Best Buy Europe operations (including the fixed-line business in Switzerland) within our International segment. The presentation of discontinued operations has been retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented.

The financial results of discontinued operations for the three months ended May 4, 2013 and May 5, 2012 were as follows ($ in millions):

See Note 6, Restructuring Charges, for further discussion of the restructuring charges associated with discontinued operations.
(2)  
The fiscal 2014 effective tax rate for discontinued operations differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the $53 million of restructuring charges and $175 million impairment of our investment in Best Buy Europe, which generally included no related tax benefit. The deferred tax assets related to the restructuring charges generally resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance in an equal amount, while the investment impairment is not tax deductible.

Debt Securities
 
Our debt securities are comprised of auction rate securities (“ARS”). We classify our investments in ARS as available-for-sale and carry them at fair value. Due to persistent failed auctions and the uncertainty of when these investments could be liquidated at par, we have classified all of our investments in ARS as non-current assets within Equity and Other Investments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and May 5, 2012. At May 4, 2013, our entire remaining ARS portfolio of six investments comprised primarily of student loan bonds with an aggregate par value of $23 million, was subject to failed auctions.
 
We sold $0 million of ARS at par during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not intend to sell our remaining ARS until we can recover the full principal amount. In addition, we do not believe it is more likely than not that we would be required to sell our remaining ARS until we can recover the full principal amount based on our other sources of liquidity. We evaluated our entire ARS portfolio of $23 million (par value) for impairment at May 4, 2013, based primarily on the methodology described in Note 4, Fair Value Measurements. As a result of this review, we determined that the fair value of our ARS portfolio at May 4, 2013 was $21 million. Accordingly, a $2 million pre-tax unrealized loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
We had $1 million, $1 million and $3 million of unrealized loss, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and May 5, 2012, respectively, related to our investments in debt securities.
 
Marketable Equity Securities
 
We invest in marketable equity securities and classify them as available-for-sale. Investments in marketable equity securities are classified as non-current assets within Equity and Other Investments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. Our investments in marketable equity securities were $3 million, $27 million and $3 million at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and May 5, 2012, respectively.
  
We review all investments for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly or as indicators of impairment exist. Indicators of impairment include the duration and severity of the decline in fair value, as well as the intent and ability to hold the investment to allow for a recovery in the market value of the investment. In addition, we consider qualitative factors that include, but are not limited to: (i) the financial condition and business plans of the investee, including its future earnings potential, (ii) the investee’s credit rating, and (iii) the current and expected market and industry conditions in which the investee operates. If a decline in the fair value of an investment is deemed by management to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment is written down to fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net earnings.

All unrealized holding gains or losses related to our investments in marketable equity securities are reflected net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. The total unrealized gain, net of tax, included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $3 million, $3 million and $0 million at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and May 5, 2012, respectively.
 
Other Investments
 
The aggregate carrying values of investments accounted for using either the cost method or the equity method at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and May 5, 2012 were $37 million, $38 million and $59 million, respectively.

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 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 tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and May 5, 2012, according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values ($ in millions).

Table of Contents

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 that are traded in an active market were measured at fair value using quoted market prices and, therefore, were classified as Level 1.

U.S. Treasury Bills.  Our U.S. Treasury bills were classified as Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
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 active markets.
 
Auction Rate Securities.  Our investments in ARS were classified as Level 3 as quoted prices were unavailable due to events described in Note 3, Investments. Due to limited market information, we utilized a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to derive an estimate of fair value. The unobservable inputs and assumptions we used in preparing the DCF model included estimates with respect to the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments, forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks, the probability of full repayment of the principal considering the credit quality and guarantees in place, and the rate of return required by investors to own such securities given the current liquidity risk associated with ARS. Changes in these unobservable inputs are not likely to have a significant impact on the fair value measurement of our ARS.
 
Marketable Equity Securities.  Our marketable equity securities were measured at fair value using quoted market prices. They were classified as Level 1 as they trade in active markets for which closing stock prices are readily available.

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 intangible assets, which are remeasured when the 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 Operating Income in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

With the exception of fixed asset impairments associated with our agreement to sell our interest in Best Buy Europe and our restructuring activities described in Note 6, Restructuring Charges, we had no significant remeasurements of such assets or liabilities to fair value during the three months ended May 4, 2013 and May 5, 2012.

The following table summarizes the fair value remeasurements recorded during the three months ended May 4, 2013 and May 5, 2012 ($ in millions):

Includes the $175 million impairment to write down the book value of our investment in Best Buy Europe to fair value based on expected net proceeds as described in Note 2, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The impairment was calculated based on the fair value and foreign currency translation adjustment associated with the business and was applied to the fixed assets.

The fair value remeasurements included in the table above were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Fixed asset and tradename fair values were derived using a DCF model to estimate the present value of net cash flows that the asset or asset

Table of Contents

group was expected to generate. The key inputs to the DCF model generally included our forecasts of net cash generated from revenue, sales proceeds, expenses and other significant cash outflows, such as capital expenditures, as well as an appropriate discount rate. In the case of these specific assets, for which their impairment was the result of restructuring activities, no future cash flows have been assumed as the assets will cease to be used and expected sale values are nominal.

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 short- and long-term debt. The fair values of cash, receivables, accounts payable, other payables, and short-term debt 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 7, Debt, for information about the fair value of our long-term debt.

Renew Blue

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we initiated our Renew Blue strategy, which includes six key priorities. Activities and initiatives intended to reduce costs and improve operating performance by focusing on core business activities, reducing headcount and optimizing our real estate portfolio represent a component of our Renew Blue priorities. We incurred $6 million of restructuring charges related to Renew Blue initiatives during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We expect to continue to implement Renew Blue initiatives throughout fiscal 2014, as we further analyze our operations and strategies.

All restructuring charges related to this program are from continuing operations and are presented in Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The composition of the restructuring charges we incurred for this program in the three months ended May 4, 2013, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 4, 2013, was as follows ($ in millions):

Fiscal 2013 Europe Restructuring

In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we initiated a series of actions to restructure our Best Buy Europe operations in our International segment intended to improve operating performance. All restructuring charges related to this program are presented in discontinued operations as a result of our agreement to sell our 50% ownership interest in Best Buy Europe, as described in Note 2, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges under this program until the completion of the sale of Best Buy Europe, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

The composition of the restructuring charges we incurred for this program in the three months ended May 4, 2013, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 4, 2013, was as follows ($ in millions):

Fiscal 2013 U.S. Restructuring

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we initiated a series of actions to restructure operations in our Domestic segment intended to improve operating performance. The actions include closure of 49 large-format Best Buy branded stores in the U.S. and changes to the store and corporate operating models. The costs of implementing the changes primarily comprised facility closure costs, employee termination benefits and property and equipment (primarily store fixtures) impairments. We did not incur any significant charges related to this program in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We incurred $133 million of charges related to the fiscal 2013 U.S. restructuring in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. We do not expect to incur further material restructuring charges related to this program, with the exception of lease payments for vacated stores which will continue until leases expire or are terminated.

The restructuring charges related to our fiscal 2013 restructuring activities are from continuing operations and are presented in Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The composition of the restructuring charges we incurred for this program in the three months ended May 4, 2013 and May 5, 2012, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 4, 2013, was as follows ($ in millions):

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we implemented a series of actions to restructure operations in our Domestic and International segments. The actions within our Domestic segment included a decision to modify our strategy for certain mobile broadband offerings. In our International segment, we closed our large-format Best Buy branded stores in the U.K. and impaired certain information technology assets supporting the restructured operations. All restructuring charges directly related to the large-format Best Buy branded stores in the U.K. are reported within Loss from discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Refer to Note 2, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

We did not incur any charges related to the fiscal 2012 restructuring in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we incurred $9 million of charges related to the fiscal 2012 restructuring. We do not expect to incur further material restructuring charges related to this program in either our Domestic or International segments, as we have substantially completed these restructuring activities.

All restructuring charges from continuing operations related to this program are presented in Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings, whereas all restructuring charges from discontinued operations related to our fiscal 2012 restructuring activities are presented in Loss from discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The composition of the restructuring charges we incurred for this program in the three months ended May 5, 2012, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 4, 2013, was as follows ($ in millions):

Included within the adjustments to facility closure and other costs is $34 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2013, representing an adjustment to exclude non-cash charges or benefits, which had no impact on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
 
Fiscal 2011 Restructuring

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we implemented a series of actions to restructure operations in our Domestic and International segments in order to improve performance and enhance customer service. The restructuring actions included plans to improve supply chain and operational efficiencies in our Domestic segment's operations, primarily focused on modifications to our distribution channels and exit from certain digital delivery services within our entertainment product category. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a net reduction to restructuring charges of $9 million, all of which related to our Domestic segment. The net reduction was largely the result of a gain recorded on the sale of a previously impaired distribution facility and equipment during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (previously impaired through restructuring charges), partially offset by charges associated with the exit from certain digital delivery services within our entertainment product category. We have completed activities under this plan.
