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, as applicable, its consolidated subsidiaries.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we made the decision to exit our operations in Mexico. All stores in Mexico were closed as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and our International segment will be comprised of operations in Canada going forward. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, for additional information.

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.

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 January 30, 2021. The first six months of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 included 26 weeks.

In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from July 31, 2021, through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. N o such events were identified for the reported periods.

Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reconciled to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows ($ in millions):

| July 31, 2021 |  | January 30, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 4,340 |  |  | $ | 5,494 |  |  | $ | 5,305 |
Restricted cash included in Other current assets |  | 134 |  |  |  | 131 |  |  |  | 117 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 4,474 |  |  | $ | 5,625 |  |  | $ | 5,422 |

Amounts included in restricted cash are primarily restricted to use for workers’ compensation and general liability insurance claims.

Mexico Exit and Strategic Realignment

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on, for example, the economic conditions of the markets in which we operate, customer shopping behaviors, the role of technology in peoples’ lives and the way we meet their needs. In light of these changes, we are adapting our Building the New Blue Strategy to ensure that our focus and resources are closely aligned with the opportunities we see in front of us. As a result, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we made the decision to exit our operations in Mexico and began taking other actions to more broadly align our organizational structure in support of our strategy.

Table of Contents

Charges incurred in our International segment primarily related to our decision to exit our operations in Mexico. All remaining stores in Mexico were closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and we do not expect to incur material future restructuring charges related to the exit.

Charges incurred in our Domestic segment primarily related to actions taken to align our organizational structure in support of our strategy. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, we recorded a $44 million credit primarily due to a reduction in expected termination benefits resulting from adjustments to previously planned organizational changes and higher-than-expected employee retention.

As we continue to evolve our Building the New Blue Strategy, it is possible that we will incur material future restructuring costs, but we are unable to forecast the timing and magnitude of such costs.

All charges incurred related to the exit from Mexico and strategic realignment described above were from continuing operations and were presented as follows ($ in millions):

(1)Represents adjustments to previously planned organizational changes in our Domestic segment and higher-than-expected employee retention in both our Domestic and International segments.

Fiscal 2020 U.S. Retail Operating Model Changes

In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we made changes primarily related to our U.S. retail operating model to increase organization effectiveness and create a more seamless customer experience across all channels. All charges incurred were related to termination benefits within our Domestic segment and were presented within Restructuring charges from continuing operations on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of July 31, 2021, the cumulative amount of charges incurred was $41 million and no material liability remains.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value were as follows ($ in millions):

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Fair Value at
|  | Balance Sheet Location(1) | Fair Value Hierarchy |  | July 31, 2021 |  | January 30, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Money market funds(2) |  | Cash and cash equivalents | Level 1 |  |  | $ | 1,113 |  |  | $ | 1,575 |  |  | $ | 1,729 |
Time deposits(3) |  | Cash and cash equivalents | Level 2 |  |  |  | 625 |  |  |  | 865 |  |  |  | 390 |
Time deposits(3) |  | Other current assets |  |  | Level 2 |  |  |  | 65 |  |  |  | 65 |  |  |  | 101 |

Interest rate swap derivative instruments(4) |  | Other assets |  |  | Level 2 |  |  |  | 79 |  |  |  | 91 |  |  |  | 115 |
Marketable securities that fund deferred compensation(5) | Other assets |  |  | Level 1 |  |  |  | 54 |  |  |  | 53 |  |  |  | 49 |

(1)Balance sheet location is determined by length to maturity.

(2)Valued at quoted market prices in active markets.

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

(4)Valued using readily observable market inputs. These instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded on an active market. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments, for additional information.

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for other investments held at cost are not readily available, but we estimate that the carrying values for these investments approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt is presented at carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If our long-term debt were recorded at fair value, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Long-term debt balances were as follows ($ in millions):

(1)Excludes debt discounts, issuance costs and finance lease obligations.

5. Derivative Instruments

We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain risks by using foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of Canadian dollar exchange rate fluctuations on a portion of our net investment in our Canadian operations. We also use interest rate swaps to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our $650 million principal amount of notes due March 15, 2021 (“2021 Notes”), prior to their retirement in December 2020, and on our $500 million principal amount of notes due October 1, 2028 (“2028 Notes”). In addition, we use foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to recognized receivable and payable balances denominated in non-functional currencies.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we entered into Treasury Rate Lock (“T-Lock”) contracts to hedge the base interest rate variability on a portion of our then-expected refinancing of our maturing 2021 Notes. The T-Lock contracts were cash settled upon issuance of our $650 million principal amount of notes due October 1, 2030 (“2030 Notes”). The fair value of the T-Lock contracts upon settlement was released from Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded in Interest expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as interest is accrued over the life of the 2030 Notes.

Our derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges and interest rate swaps are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for gross fair values of our outstanding derivative instruments and corresponding fair value classifications.

Notional amounts of our derivative instruments were as follows ($ in millions):

6. Debt

Short-Term Debt

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

On May 18, 2021, 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 April 2023, but was terminated on May 18, 2021. The Five-Year Facility Agreement permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion and expires in May 2026.

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

Table of Contents

0.225%, the LIBOR Margin ranges from 0.805% to 1.225%, and the facility fee ranges from 0.07% to 0.15%. Additionally, the Five-Year Facility Agreement includes fallback language related to the transition from LIBOR to alternative rates. 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. 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.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 and to maximize liquidity, we executed a short-term draw on the full amount of our Previous Facility on March 19, 2020, which remained outstanding until July 27, 2020, when the Previous Facility was repaid in full. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement as of July 31, 2021, or the Previous Facility as of January 30, 2021, and August 1, 2020.

Bank Advance

In conjunction with a solar energy investment, we were advanced $110 million due October 31, 2021. The advance is recorded within Short-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and bears interest at 0.14%.

7. Revenue

We generate substantially all of our revenue from contracts with customers from the sale of products and services. Contract balances primarily consist of receivables and liabilities related to product merchandise not yet delivered to customers, unredeemed gift cards, services not yet completed and options that provide a material right to customers, such as our customer loyalty programs. Contract balances were as follows ($ in millions):

| July 31, 2021 |  | January 30, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Receivables, net(1) | $ | 528 |  |  | $ | 618 |  |  | $ | 567 |
Short-term contract liabilities included in: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Unredeemed gift card liabilities |  | 293 |  |  |  | 317 |  |  |  | 267 |
Deferred revenue |  | 854 |  |  |  | 711 |  |  |  | 699 |
Accrued liabilities |  | 79 |  |  |  | 71 |  |  |  | 60 |

(1)Receivables are recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $24 million, $32 million and $28 million as of July 31, 2021, January 30, 2021, and August 1, 2020, respectively.

During the first six months of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, $866 million and $662 million of revenue was recognized, respectively, that was included in the contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective periods.

See Note 12, Segments, for information on our revenue by reportable segment and product category.

8. 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.

Reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020 |  | July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Numerator |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net earnings | $ | 734 |  |  | $ | 432 |  |  | $ | 1,329 |  |  | $ | 591 |

Basic earnings per share | $ | 2.93 |  |  | $ | 1.67 |  |  | $ | 5.28 |  |  | $ | 2.28 |
Diluted earnings per share | $ | 2.90 |  |  | $ | 1.65 |  |  | $ | 5.22 |  |  | $ | 2.26 |

9. Repurchase of Common Stock

On February 16, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new $5.0 billion share repurchase program. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under this authorization. We temporarily suspended all share repurchases from March to November of fiscal 2021 to conserve liquidity in light of COVID-19-related uncertainties. On August 24, 2021, we announced our plan to repurchase more than $2.5 billion of shares in fiscal 2022.

Information regarding the shares we repurchased was as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020 |  | July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Total cost of shares repurchased | $ | 416 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 1,331 |  |  | $ | 56 |
Average price per share | $ | 112.75 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 109.92 |  |  | $ | 86.30 |
Number of shares repurchased |  | 3.7 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 12.1 |  |  |  | 0.6 |

As of July 31, 2021, $3.8 billion of the $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization was available. Between the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022 on July 31, 2021, and August 27, 2021, we repurchased an incremental 1.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $160 million.

10. Income Taxes

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Our income tax returns are routinely examined by domestic and foreign tax authorities. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we reduced our unrecognized tax benefits by $101 million relating to multi-jurisdiction, multi-year non-cash benefits from the resolution of certain discrete tax matters, all of which resulted in a tax benefit in the current quarter.

11. Contingencies

We are involved in a number of legal proceedings. Where appropriate, we have made accruals with respect to these matters, which are reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, there are cases where liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made. We provide disclosure of matters where we believe it is reasonably possible the impact may be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 January 30, 2021 (including the information presented therein under Risk Factors), as well as our other reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited.

Overview

Our purpose is to enrich lives through technology. We do this by leveraging our unique combination of tech expertise and human touch to meet our customers’ everyday needs, whether they come to us online, visit our stores or invite us into their homes. We have two reportable segments: Domestic and International. The Domestic segment is comprised of operations, including our Best Buy Health business, in all states, districts and territories of the U.S. The International segment is comprised of all operations in Canada and Mexico. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we made the decision to exit our operations in Mexico. All stores in Mexico were closed as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and our International segment will be comprised of operations in Canada going forward. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the end of January. 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. Comparable sales is a metric used by management to evaluate the performance of our existing stores, websites and call centers by measuring the change in net sales for a particular period over the comparable prior-period of equivalent length. Comparable sales includes revenue from stores, websites and call centers operating for at least 14 full months. Stores closed more than 14 days, including but not limited to relocated, remodeled, expanded and downsized stores, or stores impacted by natural disasters, are excluded from comparable sales until at least 14 full months after reopening. Acquisitions are included in comparable sales beginning with the first full quarter following the first anniversary of the date of the acquisition. Comparable sales also includes credit card revenue, gift card breakage, commercial sales and sales of merchandise to wholesalers and dealers, as applicable. 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). Online sales are included in comparable sales. Online sales represent those initiated on a website or app, regardless of whether customers choose to pick up product in store, curbside, at an alternative pick-up location or take delivery direct to their homes. All periods presented apply this methodology consistently.

On May 9, 2019, we acquired all outstanding shares of Critical Signal Technologies, Inc. (“CST”). Consistent with our comparable sales policy, the results of CST are included in our comparable sales calculation beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. All stores that were temporarily closed as a result of COVID-19 or operating a curbside-only operating model are included in comparable sales.

On November 24, 2020, we announced our decision to exit our operations in Mexico. As a result, all revenue from Mexico operations has been excluded from our comparable sales calculation beginning in December of fiscal 2021.

15

Table of Contents

We believe comparable sales is a meaningful supplemental metric for investors to evaluate revenue performance resulting from growth in existing stores, websites and call centers versus the portion resulting from opening new stores or closing existing stores. 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 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). We believe that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating current period performance and in assessing future performance. For these reasons, our internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments for items such as restructuring charges, goodwill impairments, price-fixing settlements, gains and losses on investments, intangible asset amortization, certain acquisition-related costs and the tax effect of all such items. In addition, certain other items may be excluded from non-GAAP financial measures when we believe doing so 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 financial 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 may 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 when there are significant fluctuations in currency rates.

Refer to the Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for detailed reconciliations of items impacting non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP diluted EPS in the presented periods.

Business Strategy Update

Throughout the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we provided customers multiple ways to interact with us depending on their needs, preference and comfort. Similar to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, customers migrated back into our stores to touch and feel products and to seek in-person expertise and service. At the same time, they continued to interact with us digitally at a significantly higher rate than pre-pandemic, as online sales were 32% of Domestic revenues compared to 16% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Phone and chat volume also remained high compared to pre-pandemic levels, and sales via these channels continued to climb. In addition, we are continuing to interact with customers in their homes — making large-product deliveries, installing solutions, repairing products and providing sales consultations. For customers purchasing online, we delivered product with speed and convenience. Online sales package delivery was not only faster than the second quarter of last year, when our online sales increased 242%, but faster than the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as well.

We continued to roll out and run several tests and pilots during the quarter as we determine the best path forward to become even more customer-centric, digitally-focused and efficient. We believe this is crucial to thriving in a new and different environment where customers expect to seamlessly interact with physical and digital channels throughout the shopping journey as they seek inspiration, research, convenience and support.

One of these pilots was a new membership program. Based on the positive pilot results, we plan to scale the program nationally in stores and online at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 under the name Best Buy Totaltech. Totaltech is designed to give our customers the confidence that whatever their technology needs are, we will be there to help. The goal is to create a membership experience that customers will love, which in turn results in a higher customer lifetime value and drives a larger share of consumer electronics spend to Best Buy.

Over the longer term, we are fundamentally in a stronger position than we expected to be in just two years ago. We believe there has been a structural increase in the need for technology, and that we now serve a larger install base of consumer electronics with customers who have an elevated appetite to upgrade due to constant technology innovation and needs that reflect structural life changes, like hybrid work and streaming entertainment content. We believe our significant omnichannel assets, including our ability to inspire what is possible across the breadth of consumer electronics, as well as our ability to keep it all working together the way customers want, truly differentiate us going forward in this new landscape.

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 of events occurring in the lag period that significantly affect our consolidated financial statements. No such events were identified for the reported periods.

Consolidated Performance Summary

Selected consolidated financial data was as follows ($ in millions, except per share amounts):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020 |  | July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Revenue | $ | 11,849 |  |  | $ | 9,910 |  |  | $ | 23,486 |  |  | $ | 18,472 |

Diluted earnings per share | $ | 2.90 |  |  | $ | 1.65 |  |  | $ | 5.22 |  |  | $ | 2.26 |

(1)Because retailers vary in how they record costs of operating their supply chain between cost of sales 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 sales 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 January 30, 2021.

In the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, we generated $11.8 billion and $23.5 billion in revenue, and our comparable sales grew 19.6% and 27.7%, respectively. We continued to experience high demand for technology products and services, as consumers continued to leverage technology to meet their needs, and we provided solutions that help them work, learn, entertain, cook and connect at home. The demand was also bolstered by overall strong consumer spending, aided by government stimulus, improving wages and high savings levels. Our strong sales performance resulted in operating income rate expansion of 100 basis points and 240 basis points during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, respectively.

Revenue, gross profit, SG&A and operating income rate changes in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 were primarily driven by our Domestic segment. For further discussion of each segment’s performance, see the Segment Performance Summary below.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to the resolution of certain discrete tax matters, partially offset by the impact of increased pre-tax earnings. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) decreased to 8.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 22.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the resolution of certain discrete tax matters. Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Income tax expense increased in the first six months of fiscal 2022 primarily due to an increase in pre-tax earnings, partially offset by the resolution of certain discrete tax matters. Our ETR decreased to 15.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2022 compared to 24.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the resolution of certain discrete tax matters.

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

The increase in revenue in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 was primarily driven by comparable sales growth across almost all of our product categories, partially offset by the loss of revenue from permanent store closures in the past year. Online revenue of $3.5 billion and $7.1 billion in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 decreased 28.1% and 13.5%, respectively, on a comparable basis, primarily due to channel shifts in customer shopping behavior as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and temporary store closures in the prior year.

Domestic segment stores open at the beginning and end of the second quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, excluding stores that were temporarily closed as a result of COVID-19, were as follows:

| Fiscal 2022 |  | Fiscal 2021

Continued strong demand for technology products and services with a focus on the home, including working, learning, entertaining and cooking, contributed to our Domestic comparable sales growth across most of our categories. Notable comparable sales changes were as follows:

Computing and Mobile Phones: The 11.4% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by computing, mobile phones and wearables.

Consumer Electronics: The 27.4% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by home theater, digital imaging, headphones and portable speakers.

Appliances: The 31.1% comparable sales gain was primarily driven by large appliances.

Entertainment: The 36.4% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by gaming and virtual reality.

Services: The 23.6% comparable sales gain was primarily driven by support and warranty services.

Our gross profit rate increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by favorable product margin rates, including reduced promotions, and rate improvement from supply chain costs resulting from a lower mix of online revenue compared to the prior year. Our gross profit also increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to higher profit-sharing revenue from our private label and co-branded credit card arrangement.

Our SG&A increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily due to pandemic-related actions last year, which resulted in higher costs this year for short-term incentive compensation, store payroll, advertising, medical claims and our 401(k) employer match. In addition, SG&A increased due to investments in support of our technology initiatives.

The restructuring credit in the first six months of fiscal 2022 primarily related to a reduction in termination benefits resulting from adjustments to previously planned organizational changes and higher-than-expected retention rates. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information.

Our operating income rate increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by the favorability in gross profit rate described above and increased leverage from higher sales volume on our fixed expenses, which resulted in favorable SG&A rates.

The increase in revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was primarily driven by the benefit of 1,070 basis points of favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and comparable sales growth of 5.0%. In the first six months of fiscal 2022, revenue increased primarily from comparable sales growth of 15.0% and the benefit of 1,040 basis points of favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue in Mexico in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 of $60 million and $129 million, respectively, as a result of our decision in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 to exit operations.

Entertainment: The 13.7% comparable sales gain was driven primarily by gaming, virtual reality and drones.

Services: The 2.2% comparable sales gain was primarily due to our repair and warranty services.

Our gross profit rate increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by sales mixing out of Mexico, which had a lower gross profit rate than Canada.

Our SG&A increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and increased store payroll and incentive compensation expenses in Canada, partially offset by lower expenses in Mexico as a result of our decision to exit operations there.

(3)Represents inventory markdown adjustments recorded within cost of sales associated with the decision to exit operations in Mexico.

(4)The non-GAAP adjustments primarily relate to the U.S. and Mexico. As such, the income tax charge is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 24.5% for all U.S. non-GAAP items for all periods presented. There is no income tax charge for the Mexico non-GAAP items, as there was no tax benefit recognized on these expenses in the calculation of GAAP income tax expense.

Our non-GAAP operating income rate increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by higher gross profit rates due to favorable product margin rates and rate improvement from supply chain costs, and increased leverage from higher sales volume on our fixed expenses, which resulted in favorable SG&A rates.

Our non-GAAP effective tax rate decreased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the resolution of certain discrete tax matters. Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Our non-GAAP diluted EPS increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by the increase in non-GAAP operating income and the lower non-GAAP effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Cash and cash equivalents were as follows ($ in millions):

|  |  |  |  | July 31, 2021 |  | January 30, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents |  |  |  |  | $ | 4,340 |  |  | $ | 5,494 |  |  | $ | 5,305 |

The decreases in cash and cash equivalents from July 31, 2021, compared to January 30, 2021, and August 1, 2020, were primarily due to share repurchases, which were temporarily suspended from March to November 2020, partially offset by the excess of operating cash flows from higher earnings over capital spending and dividends.

Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | (1,151) |  |  | $ | 3,067 |

Operating Activities

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first half of fiscal 2022 was primarily due to changes in inventory, which saw a decrease in receipts in the prior-year period from measures taken in light of COVID-19 and an increase in receipts in the current-year period to match our inventory levels to increased demand. Changes in accounts payable also contributed to the decrease from favorable payment terms with vendors in the prior-year period. These decreases were partially offset by higher earnings in the current-year period.

Investing Activities

The decrease in cash used in investing activities in the first half of fiscal 2022 was primarily driven by an increase in sales of short-term investments.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities in the first half of fiscal 2022 was driven primarily by an increase in share repurchases. In fiscal 2021, w e temporarily suspended share repurchases from March to November 2020. In addition, we increased the quarterly dividend rate from $0.55 to $0.70 in fiscal 2022.

Sources of Liquidity

Funds generated by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, 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, share repurchases, dividends and strategic initiatives, including business combinations. 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 May 18, 2021, 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 April 2023, but was terminated on May 18, 2021. The Five-Year Facility Agreement permits borrowings of up to $1.25 billion and expires in May 2026.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 and to maximize liquidity, we executed a short-term draw on the full amount of our Previous Facility on March 19, 2020, which remained outstanding until July 27, 2020, when the Previous Facility was repaid in full. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Five-Year Facility Agreement as of July 31, 2021, or the Previous Facility as of January 30, 2021, and August 1, 2020.

Our credit ratings and outlook as of August 27, 2021, are summarized below. On May 20, 2021, Standard & Poor’s upgraded its rating to BBB+ and confirmed its outlook of Stable. Moody’s rating and outlook remained unchanged from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021.

Rating Agency |  |  |  |  | Rating |  | Outlook
Standard & Poor's |  |  |  |  |  | BBB+ |  |  |  | Stable |
Moody's |  |  |  |  | A3 |  | Stable

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. 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 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 new-store leasing costs.

Restricted Cash

Our liquidity is also affected by restricted cash balances that are primarily restricted to use for workers’ compensation and general liability insurance claims. Restricted cash, which is included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $134 million, $131 million and $117 million at July 31, 2021, January 30, 2021, and August 1, 2020, respectively. The increase from August 1, 2020, was primarily due to the timing of insurance premium payments.

Debt and Capital

As of July 31, 2021, we had $500 million of principal amount of notes due October 1, 2028, and $650 million of principal amount of notes due October 1, 2030. Refer to Note 6, Debt, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Note 8, Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021, for additional information about our outstanding debt.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

We repurchase our common stock and pay dividends pursuant to programs approved by our Board of Directors (“Board”). The payment of cash dividends is also subject to customary legal and contractual restrictions. 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.

On February 16, 2021, our Board approved a new $5.0 billion share repurchase program. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under this new authorization. As of July 31, 2021, $3.8 billion of the $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization was available. On August 24, 2021, we announced our plan to repurchase more than $2.5 billion of shares in fiscal 2022.

Share repurchase and dividend activity was as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020 |  | July 31, 2021 |  | August 1, 2020
Total cost of shares repurchased | $ | 416 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 1,331 |  |  | $ | 56
Average price per share | $ | 112.75 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 109.92 |  |  | $ | 86.30
Number of shares repurchased |  | 3.7 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 12.1 |  |  |  | 0.6
Regular quarterly cash dividends per share | $ | 0.70 |  |  | $ | 0.55 |  |  | $ | 1.40 |  |  | $ | 1.10
Cash dividends declared and paid | $ | 175 |  |  | $ | 143 |  |  | $ | 350 |  |  | $ | 284

The total cost of shares repurchased increased in fiscal 2022, primarily due to the temporary suspension of all share repurchases from March to November of fiscal 2021 to conserve liquidity in light of COVID-19-related uncertainties. Cash dividends declared and paid increased in fiscal 2022 primarily due to an increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend per share.

Between the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022 on July 31, 2021, and August 27, 2021, we repurchased an incremental 1.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $160 million.

Other Financial Measures

Our current ratio, calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities, remained relatively unchanged at 1.2 as of July 31, 2021, and January 30, 2021, and 1.1 as of August 1, 2020.

Our debt to earnings ratio, calculated as total debt (including current portion) divided by net earnings over the trailing twelve months decreased to 0.5 as of July 31, 2021, compared to 0.8 as of January 30, 2021, and August 1, 2020, primarily due to higher earnings.

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 $1.25 billion in undrawn capacity on our Five-Year Facility Agreement as of July 31, 2021, which, if drawn upon, would be included in either short-term or long-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 2021. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021, 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 January 30, 2021. 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 January 30, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since the end of fiscal 2021.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), provide a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies. 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, operational investments, 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 January 30, 2021, 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: the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resurgence and the impact on demand for our products and services, levels of consumer confidence and our supply chain; macroeconomic pressures in the markets in which we operate (including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19, fluctuations in housing prices, energy markets and jobless rates); future outbreaks, catastrophic events, health crises and pandemics; susceptibility of our products to technological advancements, product life cycles and launches; conditions in the industries and categories in which we operate; changes in consumer preferences, spending and debt; competition (including from multi-channel retailers, e-commerce business, technology service providers, traditional store-based retailers, vendors and mobile network carriers); our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; changes in market compensation rates; our expansion strategies; our focus on services as a strategic priority; our reliance on key vendors and mobile network carriers (including product availability); our ability to maintain positive brand perception and recognition; our company transformation; our mix of products and services; our ability to effectively manage strategic ventures, alliances or acquisitions; our ability to effectively manage our real estate portfolio; interruptions and other supply chain issues; any material disruption in our relationship with or the services of third-party vendors, risks related to our exclusive brand products and risks associated with vendors that source products outside of the U.S.; trade restrictions or changes in the costs of imports (including existing or new tariffs or duties and changes in the amount of any such tariffs or duties); our reliance on our information technology systems; our dependence on internet and telecommunications access and capabilities; our ability to prevent or effectively respond to a cyber-attack, privacy or security breach; product safety and quality concerns; changes to labor or employment laws or regulations; risks arising from statutory, regulatory and legal developments (including tax statutes and regulations); risks arising from our international activities; failure to effectively manage our costs; our dependence on cash flows and net earnings generated during the fourth fiscal quarter; pricing investments and promotional activity; economic or regulatory developments that might affect our ability to provide attractive promotional financing; constraints in the capital markets; changes to our vendor credit terms; changes in our credit ratings; and general economic uncertainty in key global markets and worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth. 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 January 30, 2021, 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. 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 January 30, 2021, for further information regarding our interest rate swaps.

As of July 31, 2021, we had $4.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $0.5 billion of fixed-rate debt that was swapped to floating rate, resulting in a net balance exposed to interest rate changes of $3.8 billion. As of July 31, 2021, a 50-basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $19 million reduction in net interest expense, and conversely a 50-basis point decrease in short-term interest rates would have led to an estimated $19 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. 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 January 30, 2021, for additional information regarding these instruments.

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations were primarily driven by the strength of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. 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 $84 million and $149 million on our revenue in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net earnings for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 was not significant.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 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 July 31, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at July 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
