See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. -5- 6 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 November 25, 2000 and February 26, 2000 and the results of their operations for the three months and nine months ended November 25, 2000 and November 27, 1999, respectively, and their cash flows for the nine months ended November 25, 2000 and November 27, 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. The concensus provides 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 free merchandise incentives should be recorded as cost of sales. The Company plans to adopt the concensus in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. 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 EITF also reached a consensus with respect to the issue of "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs". The consensus provides that amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues. The Company currently nets such 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. While Management does not believe the amount of such reclassifications related to shipping and handling fees and costs is material, the Company plans to adopt the consensus in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The reclassifications will not have an impact on operating profit or net earnings. -6- 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months November 25, 2000 vs. Three Months November 27, 1999 Net sales for the third quarter ended November 25, 2000 were $609.5 million, an increase of $123.1 million or approximately 25.3% over net sales of $486.5 million for the corresponding quarter last year. Approximately 84.8% of the increase was attributable to new store net sales. The increase in comparable store net sales in the third quarter of 2000 was approximately 4.2%. 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 third quarter were attributable to sales of domestics merchandise and home furnishings merchandise, respectively. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2000 was $246.1 million or 40.4% of net sales compared with $196.8 million or 40.5% of net sales during the third quarter of 1999. SG&A was $181.5 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared with $146.2 million in the same quarter last year and as a percentage of net sales were 29.8% and 30.0%, respectively. The decrease in SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, primarily reflects a decrease in costs associated with new store openings and in occupancy costs, which were partially offset by an increase in payroll and payroll related items. Nine Months November 25, 2000 vs. Nine Months November 27, 1999 Net sales for the nine months ended November 25, 2000 were $1.7 billion, an increase of $365.8 million or approximately 28.1% over net sales of $1.3 billion for the corresponding period last year. Approximately 83.1% of the increase was attributable to new store net sales. The increase in comparable store net sales for the first nine months of 2000 was approximately 5.1%. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2000 was $674.9 million or 40.4% of net sales compared with $528.6 million or 40.6% of net sales during the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, as compared to the same period a year ago, was attributable to a number of factors, including a different mix of sales as well as a continued emphasis on providing value pricing to the customer. SG&A was $504.0 million in the first nine months of 2000 compared with $396.4 million for the same period last year and as a percentage of net sales were 30.2% and 30.4%, respectively. The decrease in SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, primarily reflects a decrease in costs associated with new store openings and in occupancy costs, which were partially offset by an increase in payroll and payroll related items. -7- 8 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 309 stores at the end of the third quarter of 2000 compared with 237 stores at the end of the corresponding quarter last year. Total square footage grew to approximately 12.1 million square feet at the end of the third quarter of 2000, from approximately 9.7 million square feet at the end of the third 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 nine months of fiscal 2000, the Company opened 68 new superstores and expanded two existing stores resulting in an aggregate addition of approximately 2.3 million square feet to total store space. The Company anticipates opening approximately two additional stores by the end of the fiscal year, aggregating approximately .1 million additional square feet of store space for the year. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets at November 25, 2000 were $1.2 billion compared with $865.8 million at February 26, 2000, an increase of $300.7 million. Of the total increase, $219.5 million represented an increase in current assets and $81.2 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 November 25, 2000 were $441.4 million compared with $306.8 million at February 26, 2000, an increase of $134.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable, resulting from an increase in inventories. Shareholders' equity was $725.1 million at November 25, 2000 compared with $559.0 million at February 26, 2000. The increase reflects net earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 and additional paid-in capital from the exercise of stock options. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were $112.0 million compared with $74.3 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to expenditures for furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements for the 68 new superstores opened and two stores expanded during the first nine months, compared to furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements for the 51 new superstores opened and four stores expanded in the same period last year, as well as the cost of store renovations and information technology additions. The Company believes that it will be able to finance both its normal operations and its expansion program for the foreseeable future through internally generated funds. -8- 9 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-Q may contain forward looking statements.
