Best Buy Actively Marketing
Musicland Businesses
Separately, Company adopts new accounting guidance for vendor allowances
(EITF No. 02-16), resulting in a $42 million non-cash charge
MINNEAPOLIS, March 31, 2003 — Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE: BBY) reported today that the Company has begun marketing its interest in its Musicland subsidiary in order to concentrate on the Company’s core business and assets. The Company has hired an investment banking firm to assist with the sale process, as well as additional professionals to assist in other areas of the plan.
“Over the last year, Musicland has suffered from further declines in CD sales and a continued slowdown in traffic in traditional shopping centers nationwide. In addition, it has been less successful than we had hoped in selling consumer electronics in its mall stores. As a result of a strategic study that commenced a few months ago, it was determined that Musicland would not be capable of meeting our original expectations,” said Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson. “In an effort to derive the best outcome for all of our constituencies — including our shareholders, employees, vendors, landlords and communities — we have concluded that we should seek a buyer for our interest in Musicland.”
Anderson confirmed that sales talks for the Company’s interest in Musicland are proceeding. He said that the Company’s intent in the interim is to help maximize Musicland’s value in preparation for any outcomes remaining under consideration. He added that the Company expects to provide a further update on Musicland’s status in June.
“We are working diligently to complete a sale of Musicland,” Anderson said. “However, Musicland��s management team and store employees remain committed to serving Musicland customers during this transition period. To underscore the importance of continuing to maximize the potential of this business, the board of directors of Musicland Stores Corporation has promoted Connie Fuhrman to the position of President. We believe that Connie, who most recently served as executive vice president of Musicland, will do an excellent job guiding Musicland in these challenging times.”
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company’s fiscal 2003 consolidated financial statements will report Musicland’s operating results separately as discontinued operations. The Company will reclassify prior-period financial results to conform to this accounting treatment. Musicland’s revenue, gross profit and SG&A expenses will be netted into a single line item in the financial statements. The change will reduce fourth-quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.03 and increase fiscal 2003 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.15. The changes by quarter for fiscal 2003 are summarized in the table below:
Financial Impact on Continuing Operations as a
Result of Classifying Musicland as Discontinued Operations
Increase (decrease)
($ in millions, except per share amounts) | | Revenue | | Operating
income (1) | | Diluted EPS from
continuing
Operations (1)(2) | |
First quarter | | $ | (384 | ) | $ | 21 | | $ | 0.04 | |
Second quarter | | (384 | ) | 26 | | 0.05 | |
Third quarter | | (374 | ) | 44 | | 0.08 | |
Fourth quarter | | (585 | ) | (19 | ) | (0.03 | ) |
Total fiscal 2003 | | $ | (1,727 | ) | $ | 72 | | $ | 0.15 | |
(1) Excludes non-cash charge for impairment of long-lived assets and includes the impact of adopting new accounting guidance for vendor allowances.
(2) Excludes $25 million tax benefit resulting from the classification of the Musicland business as discontinued operations.
For fiscal 2003, the net loss from discontinued operations of $441 million, net of tax, is comprised of Musicland’s $308 million goodwill impairment charge, $8 million after tax non-cash charge related to the cumulative change in accounting for vendor allowances, $102 million after tax loss (as previously disclosed in the Company’s fourth-quarter sales release, dated March 6) related to impairment of Musicland’s long-lived assets and a $23 million after tax loss ($78 million loss before tax) from Musicland store operations. The loss on discontinued operations excludes future operating results and any future gains or losses resulting from the potential sale of the Company’s interest in Musicland. The final financial impact of the planned sale of the Musicland subsidiary is dependent upon the results of negotiations with the ultimate buyer(s).
The average lease life for the Sam Goody and Suncoast locations is less than four years, while the average lease life of the Media Play stores is less than seven years.
Company Adopts New Accounting Guidance For Vendor Allowances (EITF No. 02-16)
Separately, the Company today reported that during fiscal 2003, it changed its method of accounting for vendor allowances. The new method is consistent with final guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force in March 2003 regarding accounting for vendor allowances (EITF No. 02-16), Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.
In adopting the new guidance, the Company changed its previous method of accounting, which was consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Under the new accounting guidance, vendor allowances are considered a reduction in the price of a vendor’s product and recognized as a reduction in cost of goods sold when the related product is sold, unless the allowance represents a reimbursement of a specific, incremental and identifiable cost incurred to sell the vendor’s products. This new practice also will change the timing of recognizing allowances in net earnings.
The Company adopted the new guidance on a retroactive basis to the beginning of fiscal 2003, which resulted in a one-time, non-cash, after-tax charge of $42 million, which was classified as a “cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.” The impact on continuing operations in fiscal 2003 is to increase fourth-quarter diluted earnings per share by $0.08 and to reduce full-year diluted earnings per share by $0.01. The changes and related reclassification for each quarter in fiscal 2003 are summarized in the table below:
Financial Impact on Continuing Operations as a Result of Adopting New
Accounting Guidance for Vendor Allowances (EITF No. 02-16)
Increase (decrease)

sold | | Selling,

Second quarter | | (155 | ) | 154 | | 1 | | — | |
Third quarter | | (176 | ) | 214 | | (38 | ) | (0.07 | ) |
Fourth quarter | | (243 | ) | 198 | | 45 | | 0.08 | |
Total fiscal 2003 | | $ | (718 | ) | $ | 721 | | $ | (3 | ) | $ | (0.01 | ) |
Darren Jackson, executive vice president — Finance and CFO of Best Buy, added, “We support and commend the EITF for the approach it has taken, which aligns well with how leading manufacturers have approached this issue. We believe this accounting change provides the maximum transparency for investors, while continuing Best Buy’s history of conservative accounting practices.”
To help investors understand how the two changes affect the Company’s financial statements, following are comparative financial statements for the Company’s first three quarters
of fiscal 2003, and the fourth quarter and fiscal year of fiscal 2002. Similar comparative statements for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2003 will be included with the fourth-quarter earnings release on April 1. These exhibits separately show the impact of the discontinued operations classification, as well as the impact of adopting EITF No. 02-16.
The Company will release its fourth-quarter earnings on April 1 and will conduct a conference call for analysts, institutional investors and news media at 10 a.m. eastern time that day. Individuals may access the live call via the Internet on the Company’s Web site at www.BestBuy.com by clicking on the “Investor Relations” link.
