BBBY continues to consider all strategic alternatives including restructuring or refinancing its debt, seeking additional debt or equity capital, reducing or delaying the Company’s business activities and strategic initiatives, or selling assets, other strategic transactions and/or other measures, including obtaining relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  

Sue Gove, President & CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. said, “At the beginning of the third quarter, we initiated a turnaround plan anchored on serving our loyal customers, following a period when our merchandise and strategy had veered away from their preferences. Although we moved quickly and effectively to change the assortment and other merchandising and marketing strategies, inventory was constrained and we did not achieve our goals. We will continue to rebalance our assortment towards National Brands and refine our Owned Brands mix to reflect the deep understanding of our customer, along with the selection and value only we can offer in the Home and Baby markets.  We are actively pursuing higher in-stock levels to meet proven demand. We are implementing our plan expeditiously while managing our financial position in a changing landscape.  We are delivering on our aggressive second half commitment of $250 million in SG&A optimization, or $500 million in annualized savings.  We are also on track to achieve the 150 store closures that we previously outlined, which will further enable us to allocate resources according to customer demand.  Our organization is more streamlined and we have adopted a more focused infrastructure that reflects our current business.”
