Best Buy Reports First Quarter Results
Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) released its Q1 FY25 results, showing a 6.1% decline in comparable sales and a revenue decrease to $8.85 billion from $9.47 billion in Q1 FY24. GAAP diluted EPS increased 2% to $1.13, and non-GAAP diluted EPS rose 4% to $1.20. The company maintained its FY25 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance of $5.75 to $6.20.
The domestic segment reported a 6.8% revenue decline, driven by decreases in appliance, home theater, gaming, and mobile phone sales. Gross profit rate improved to 23.4% due to better performance in services and laptop categories.
International revenue dropped by 3.3%, with a lower gross profit rate of 22.8%. The company returned $252 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Best Buy forecasts Q2 FY25 comparable sales will decline by approximately 3%.

Best Buy's Q1 FY25 results show a mixed bag of financial performance.
On the one hand, the comparable sales decline of 6.1% across the enterprise indicates a challenging retail environment, particularly in the domestic segment where sales fell by 6.3%. This is concerning for investors as it suggests ongoing softness in consumer spending on electronics and related products. The macroeconomic factors, as mentioned by the CEO, likely play a significant role here.
On the other hand, the company's GAAP diluted EPS increased by 2% to
The unchanged guidance range of Non-GAAP diluted EPS for FY25 from
From a market perspective, Best Buy’s results reflect broader industry trends. The decline in sales, especially in major product categories like appliances, home theater, gaming and mobile phones, suggests a reduced consumer appetite for big-ticket items. This trend is notable given the competitive nature of the electronics retail market where innovation and frequent product upgrades typically drive sales.
However, Best Buy has managed to find growth in the services and laptop categories, indicating a strategic shift towards more stable revenue streams. Their focus on membership offerings and services can be seen as an effort to build a more predictable and loyal customer base, which could compensate for fluctuations in product sales.
Internationally, the sales decline of 3.3% mirrors the domestic trend but is somewhat less severe. The decrease in gross profit rate internationally suggests competitive pricing pressures or higher costs that need to be managed.

“Today we are reporting better-than-expected Q1 profitability,” said Corie Barry, Best Buy CEO. “Through strong execution, we continued to manage our profitability while at the same time preparing for future growth. We made progress on our FY25 priorities, grew our paid membership base and drove improvements in our customer experiences.”
Barry continued, “The mix of macro factors continued to create a challenging sales environment for our category during the quarter and our sales were slightly softer than our expectations. We will continue to navigate the environment while remaining focused and energized about our purpose to Enrich Lives through Technology. There is exciting new innovation ahead and we intend to strengthen our position in key categories like computing, home theater and major appliances through our differentiated experiences, pointed marketing spend and competitive pricing.”
FY25 Financial Guidance
“As we look to the rest of the year, we continue to expect sequential improvement in our comparable sales performance, however, we believe we are trending towards the midpoint of our annual comparable sales guidance,” said Matt Bilunas, Best Buy CFO. “Even at the midpoint of the comparable sales guidance, we expect to deliver profitability at the high end of our non-GAAP operating income rate guidance due to a higher gross profit rate in our membership and services offerings.”
Bilunas continued, “For Q2 FY25, we expect comparable sales to decline by approximately

Conference Call
Best Buy is scheduled to conduct an earnings conference call at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (7:00 a.m. Central Time) on May 30, 2024. A webcast of the call is expected to be available at www.investors.bestbuy.com, both live and after the call.
Notes:
(1) 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. For additional information on comparable sales, please see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and available at www.investors.bestbuy.com.
(2) A reconciliation of the projected non-GAAP operating income rate, non-GAAP effective income tax rate, and non-GAAP diluted EPS, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. These GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as restructuring charges; price-fixing settlements; goodwill and intangible asset impairments; gains and losses on sales of subsidiaries and certain investments; intangible asset amortization; certain acquisition-related costs; and the tax effect of all such items. Historically, the company has excluded these items from non-GAAP financial measures. The company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures and may also exclude other items that may arise (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments, such as a decision to exit part of the business or reaching settlement of a legal dispute, are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Return on Assets and Non-GAAP Return on Investment |
|
The tables below provide calculations of return on assets ("ROA") (GAAP financial measure) and non-GAAP return on investment (“ROI”) (non-GAAP financial measure) for the periods presented. The company believes ROA is the most directly comparable financial measure to ROI. Non-GAAP ROI is defined as non-GAAP adjusted operating income after tax divided by average invested operating assets. All periods presented below apply this methodology consistently. The company believes non-GAAP ROI is a meaningful metric for investors to evaluate capital efficiency because it measures how key assets are deployed by adjusting operating income and total assets for the items noted below. This method of determining non-GAAP ROI may differ from other companies' methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies. |
