Corie Barry on recent calls
“This is my last earnings call as Best Buy CEO. And before I discuss our results, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the incredible employees of this company who have made the past 27 years truly extraordinary.”
“Today, we are pleased to report better than expected results for the first quarter. Our comparable sales grew 2% versus last year, higher than our outlook, with positive comps across the majority of our major product categories.”
“I actually am going to start at the beginning. Our founder, Dick Schultz, founded Best Buy 60 years ago, and he laid out four core values for Best Buy, and one of those values was learning from challenge and change.”
“Today we are reporting better than expected profitability for the fourth quarter. On revenue of thirteen point eight billion dollars, we delivered an adjusted operating income rate of five percent and adjusted earnings per share of two dollars and sixty-one cents, both of which are slightly up to last year.”
“Our hearts break for the young lives lost and their families who are grieving. And our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and our community as we process this unimaginable tragedy.”
