OFFICE DEPOT ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

Delray Beach, Fla., February 24, 2009 — Office Depot, Inc. (NYSE: ODP), a leading global provider of office products and services, today announced results for the fiscal period ending December 27, 2008.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS ¹

Total Company sales for the fourth quarter decreased 15% to $3.3 billion. Total Company operating expenses, adjusted for Charges, increased by $42 million from the fourth quarter of 2007. EBIT, adjusted for Charges, was a loss of $210 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 or a negative 6.4% as a percentage of sales, compared to a positive $6 million or 0.2% as a percentage of sales in the prior-year period.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.54 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to earnings of $19 million in the same period of 2007. The loss per share on a diluted basis was $5.64 for the quarter, versus earnings per share of $0.07 in the fourth quarter of 2007. Adjusted for Charges, the Company reported a loss of $199 million and a loss per share on a diluted basis of $0.73 for the fourth quarter of 2008, versus earnings of $27 million and earnings per share of $0.10 in the same period one year ago.

The Charges are comprised of unusual items, including non-cash charges totaling $1.27 billion, or $4.54 per share recorded for goodwill and trade name impairments, and pre-tax charges totaling $167 million, or $0.37 per share for actions taken as part of the strategic business review announced in December 2008 and the plan announced in 2005.

Additional pre-tax charges taken in the fourth quarter related to the business downturn, primarily the impairment of North American Retail store assets, totaled $125 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company’s cash flow from operations was $30 million and cash flow before financing activities was $4 million.

FOURTH QUARTER DIVISION RESULTS

North American Retail Division

Fourth quarter 2008 sales in the North American Retail Division were $1.4 billion, down 17% compared to the same period last year. Comparable store sales in the 1,207 stores in the U.S. and Canada that have been open for more than one year decreased 18% for the fourth quarter. Although it appeared that the rate of sales decline experienced in California had stabilized for the first nine months of the year, the

fourth quarter proved to be much more challenging. While Florida continues to be the Division’s most troubled market, it has been declining at a slower rate than the rest of the country.

The North American Retail Division had an operating loss of $119 million for the fourth quarter, a decline from the operating profit of $23 million in the same period of the prior year. The operating profit decline was driven by a number of factors including a non-cash asset impairment charge of $78 million; the flow through from the sales volume decline; and additional reserves for store closures, inventory and the Company’s private label credit card. Partially offsetting this decline was an improvement in product margins in the fourth quarter.

During the fourth quarter, Office Depot opened two new stores, closed 10, and relocated one store, bringing the total store count to 1,267. The Company also remodeled 11 stores in the quarter.

Inventory per store was $689 thousand at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008, down approximately 28% from the prior year. This decrease is a result of the Company’s ability to align inventory investment with sales levels in the current economic environment.

North American Business Solutions Division

Fourth quarter 2008 sales in the North American Business Solutions Division were $920 million, down 14% compared to the same period last year, driven by severe spending cuts by the Division’s customers.

The North American Business Solutions Division reported an operating loss of $28 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to an operating profit of $1 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in operating profit during the fourth quarter of 2008 primarily relates to the flow through of the sales volume decline; increased bad debt reserves; and weaker customer and product mix. Partially offsetting this decline were the negative adjustments for lower vendor program support and inventory clearance reserves from the fourth quarter of 2007 that did not recur.

International Division

The International Division reported a sales decrease of 15% in the fourth quarter of 2008 to $963 million, compared with the same period last year, while sales in local currency decreased by 4%. Sales in the Direct channel were down 7% in local currencies as a result of small- to medium-sized businesses reducing their discretionary expenditures and an increase in competitiveness within the channel. The Contract channel also experienced a contraction in customer spending resulting in a sales decline of 2% in local currencies. Retail sales were up 1% versus one year ago due to a third quarter of 2008 acquisition in Sweden.

Division operating profit was $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $60 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in operating profit is a result of the flow through from the sales volume declines, intangible asset write offs in Europe and Asia, higher costs and increased competition on key items, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.

FULL YEAR RESULTS ¹

For the full year, sales decreased 7% to $14.5 billion. The GAAP loss for fiscal 2008 was $1.48 billion, compared to earnings of $396 million in fiscal 2007. The GAAP loss per share on a diluted basis was $5.42 in 2008, compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.43 in the prior year. Adjusted for Charges, the diluted loss per share for fiscal 2008 was $0.41, versus diluted earnings per share of $1.54 in 2007.

For the full year, EBIT, adjusted for Charges, was a negative $51 million, compared to a positive $551 million in 2007.

Capital expenditures for 2008 were $330 million. Capital expenditures for 2009 are estimated to be reduced to about $150 million, primarily reflecting a deceleration of the Company’s IT and supply chain initiatives and a reduction in retail store growth.

2

Other Matters
The Company recognized about $165 million of pre-tax Charges related to the strategic business review announced in December of 2008. These Charges included expenses related to North American retail store and supply chain facility closures, headcount reductions, asset write downs and the rationalization of certain International businesses. The Company also recognized $2 million of pre-tax Charges related to the plan announced in 2005. During 2009, the Company expects to recognize approximately $186 million in additional Charges related to initiatives covered by this review and projects initiated under our 2005 restructuring program. The 2008 initiatives should benefit 2009 EBIT and cash flow by approximately $130 million and $105 million, respectively.

In addition to the cash flow benefits provided by the actions taken as part of the strategic business review, the Company is actively pursuing other internal sources of liquidity in 2009, including sale leasebacks of owned properties in the U.S. and Europe, the sale of certain accounts receivable in Europe, dividends from a joint venture, and tax refunds. In total, Office Depot is targeting over $400 million in cash benefit from internal initiatives in 2009.

At the end of December 2008, the Company had drawn $139 million on its asset-based loan (ABL) facility, and had $178 million in outstanding letters of credit against the facility, leaving it with $712 million of availability. With $712 million of ABL availability and $156 million in cash on hand at the end of December, Office Depot exited 2008 with $868 million in total available liquidity.

More information on the strategic business review is available in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2008 and our Form 10-K filed on February 24, 2009.

Additional information on the Company’s full year results can also be found in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2009.

Investor Presentation February 2009

Safe Harbor Statement The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides protection from liability in private lawsuits for "forward-looking" statements made by public companies under certain circumstances, provided that the public company discloses with specificity the risk factors that may impact its future results. We want to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act. Certain statements made during this presentation are 'forward-looking' statements under the Act. Except for historical financial and business performance information, statements made during this presentation should be considered 'forward-looking' as referred to in the Act. Much of the information that looks towards future performance of our company is based on various factors and important assumptions about future events that may or may not actually come true. As a result, our operations and financial results in the future could differ materially and substantially from those we have discussed in the forward-looking statements made during this presentation. Certain risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). You are strongly urged to review all such filings for a more detailed discussion of such risks and uncertainties. During portions of today's presentation, we may refer to results which are not GAAP numbers.
