BED BATH & BEYOND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for the
February 26, 2000 consolidated balance sheet, have been prepared without
audit. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 26,
2000 and February 26, 2000 and the results of their operations for the
three months and six months ended August 26, 2000 and August 28, 1999,
respectively, and their cash flows for the six months ended August 26,
2000 and August 28, 1999, respectively. Because of the seasonality of the
specialty retailing business, operating results of the Company on a
quarterly basis may not be indicative of operating results for the full
year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented
in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and consequently do not
include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles. Reference should be made to Bed Bath & Beyond
Inc.'s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2000 for
additional disclosures, including a summary of the Company's significant
accounting policies.
2) STOCK SPLIT
In July 2000, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of the
Company's common stock effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The
stock dividend was distributed on August 11, 2000 to shareholders of
record on July 28, 2000. Accordingly, all shareholders' equity, share and
per share amounts for all periods presented have been retroactively
adjusted to give effect to the stock split.
3) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus with
respect to the issue of "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives",
including point of sale coupons, rebates and free merchandise. They
concluded that the value of point of sale coupons and rebates, which
result in a reduction of the price paid by the customer, should be
recorded as a reduction of sales and that free merchandise incentives
should be recorded as cost of sales. The Company will adopt the EITF in
the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, as required. The Company
currently records its point of sale coupons and rebates in cost of sales
and free merchandise incentives in sales. The reclassifications will not
have an impact on gross profit, operating profit or net earnings.
The Task Force also reached a consensus with respect to the issue of
"Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs". They concluded
that amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to
shipping and handling represent revenues and costs related to shipping
and handling represent cost of sales. The Company currently nets revenues
and costs in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") and,
upon adoption, will reclassify such shipping and handling revenues to
sales and shipping and handling costs to cost of sales. The Company will
adopt the EITF in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, as
required. The Company does not believe the amount of the
reclassifications related to shipping and handling fees and costs is
material. The reclassifications will not have an impact on operating
profit or net earnings.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months August 26, 2000 vs. Three Months August 28, 1999
Net sales for the second quarter ended August 26, 2000 were $597.0 million, an
increase of $139.4 million or approximately 30.5% over net sales of $457.6
million for the corresponding quarter last year. Approximately 81.2% of the
increase was attributable to new store net sales. The increase in comparable
store net sales in the second quarter of 2000 was approximately 6.1%. The
increase in net sales reflects a number of factors, including but not limited
to, the continued consumer acceptance of the Company's merchandise offerings and
customer service and the generally favorable retailing environment.
Approximately 55% and 45% of net sales for the second quarter were attributable
to sales of domestics merchandise and home furnishings merchandise,
respectively.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2000 was $241.5 million or 40.5% of net
sales compared with $185.6 million or 40.6% of net sales during the second
quarter of 1999.
SG&A was $171.5 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared with $132.0
million in the same quarter last year and as a percentage of net sales were
28.7% and 28.8%, respectively.
Six Months August 26, 2000 vs. Six Months August 28, 1999
Net sales for the six months ended August 26, 2000 were $1.1 billion, an
increase of $242.8 million or approximately 29.7% over net sales of $817.0
million for the corresponding period last year. Approximately 82.2% of the
increase was attributable to new store net sales. The increase in comparable
store net sales for the first six months of 2000 was approximately 5.6%.
Gross profit for the first six months of 2000 was $428.8 million or 40.5% of net
sales compared with $331.8 million or 40.6% of net sales during the same period
last year.
SG&A was $322.5 million in the first six months of 2000 compared with $250.2
million for the same period last year and as a percentage of net sales were
30.4% and 30.6%, respectively. The decrease in SG&A, as a percentage of net
sales, primarily reflects a relative decrease in occupancy costs.
EXPANSION PROGRAM
The Company is engaged in an ongoing expansion program involving the opening of
new stores in both existing and new markets and the expansion or replacement of
existing stores with larger stores. As a result of this program, the total
number of stores has increased to 272 stores at the end of the second quarter of
2000 compared with 201 stores at the end of the corresponding quarter last year.
Total square footage grew to approximately 10.8 million square feet at the end
of the second quarter of 2000, from approximately 8.3
-7-
8
million square feet at the end of the second quarter of last year. The total
number of stores and the total square footage does not include the Company's
electronic service site which was launched on November 28, 1999.
During the first six months of fiscal 2000, the Company opened 31 new
superstores resulting in an aggregate addition of 1.0 million square feet to
total store space. The Company anticipates opening approximately 33 additional
stores and expanding two existing stores by the end of the fiscal year,
aggregating approximately 1.1 million square feet of store space for the year.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at August 26, 2000 were $1.0 billion compared with $865.8 million
at February 26, 2000, an increase of $171.7 million. Of the total increase,
$133.6 million represented an increase in current assets and $38.2 million
represented an increase in non-current assets. The increase in current assets
was primarily attributable to an increase in merchandise inventories, which
resulted from new store space and, to a lesser extent, changes in merchandising
mix.
Total liabilities at August 26, 2000 were $388.9 million compared with $306.8
million at February 26, 2000, an increase of $82.2 million. The increase was
primarily attributable to a $69.1 million increase in accounts payable
(resulting from an increase in inventories) and a $12.9 million increase in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Shareholders' equity was $648.6 million at August 26, 2000 compared with $559.0
million at February 26, 2000. The increase reflects net earnings for the first
six months of fiscal 2000 and additional paid-in capital from the exercise of
stock options.
Capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 2000 were $57.5 million
compared with $24.2 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase
is primarily attributable to expenditures for furniture, fixtures and leasehold
improvements for the 31 new superstores opened during the first six months
compared to expenditures for furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements for
the 15 new superstores opened and two stores expanded in the same period last
year, as well as the cost of store renovations and information technology
additions.
