Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator and Participants of
Bed Bath & Beyond 401(k) Plan:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Bed Bath & Beyond 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2025 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

BED BATH & BEYOND 401(k) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following is a general description of the Bed Bath & Beyond 401(k) Plan, formerly the Beyond 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"). Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the provisions described in the Plan Document.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan originally adopted by Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (the "Company" or "Plan Sponsor" or "Plan Administrator") in 1998 and has been amended since that date. Participation in the Plan is open to all eligible employees of the Company (individually, a "Participant" and collectively, "Participants") and its named subsidiaries as listed in the Plan Document. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
On December 29, 2022, the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 ("SECURE Act 2.0") was signed into law. This occurred as part of the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, a federal government spending package. The bipartisan legislation builds on the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 ("SECURE Act 1.0"), retirement legislation signed into law at the end of 2019, and includes reforms that seek to expand retirement coverage and savings. The SECURE Act 2.0 contains over 90 new retirement provisions, with varying effective dates through 2027. Since the SECURE Act 2.0 provisions include both required and optional elements, the Plan Administrator will determine the optional provisions to elect and amend the Plan Document accordingly. The Plan Administrator did not adopt any of the optional provisions for 2025 and accordingly, there was no material impact to the Plan's 2025 financial statements.
Plan Administration
The Bed Bath & Beyond 401(k) Administrative Committee consists of certain executives of the Company who oversee the administration of the Plan.
Trustee
The Plan has engaged Fidelity Management Trust Company (the "Trustee") as Trustee to the Plan and all Plan assets are held in a trust with the Trustee. The Plan has also engaged Fidelity Workplace Services LLC, which provides recordkeeping and administrative services to the Plan.
Eligibility
Employees are eligible to enroll and participate in the Plan subject to meeting the following criteria: (1) one month of service at the Company; and (2) reaching 18 years of age. Upon meeting both criteria, employees are deemed to be eligible to participate in the Plan at the beginning of the following month and are able to make future deferral contributions any time thereafter.
Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 92 % of their eligible compensation as defined by the Plan both on a before tax basis and on an after-tax basis, provided the amounts do not exceed the annual limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC"). Such contributions are withheld by the Company from each Participant's eligible compensation and deposited with the Trustee to be invested in the appropriate fund in accordance with the Participant's directives. The Plan provides for automatic enrollment of all eligible newly-hired employees at an initial deferral rate of 3 % of eligible compensation, unless the employee elects not to make such a contribution to the Plan. Contribution rates for those Participants automatically enrolled in the Plan are increased by 1% each year, up to a maximum deferral rate of 6% of eligible compensation. The Plan provides for a safe harbor matching contribution equal to 100 % of the first 6 % of the Participant's eligible compensation that is deferred. Safe harbor matching contributions automatically satisfy the nondiscrimination testing requirements under IRC section 401(m). The safe harbor match is calculated per Plan year and funded per pay period with an annual "true up" for compensation, if necessary. All Participants are eligible for the annual true up. Participants may elect to roll over amounts from other qualified plans into the Plan provided that certain conditions are met based upon the terms of the Plan Document. The Company may also make discretionary matching contributions and discretionary nonelective contributions to all eligible participants.
6
Participant Accounts
Separate accounts are valued daily and maintained for each Participant, and each Participant's account is credited with the Participant's contributions, and an allocation of the Company's safe harbor matching contribution and discretionary matching and nonelective contributions, if applicable. The Plan earnings are allocated to each Participant's account in proportion to the average daily balance in each fund option. Participants may elect to have contributions invested or transferred to any one or any combination of the investment funds available on a daily basis, including the common stock of the Plan Sponsor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants are subject to restrictions on trading the common stock of the Plan Sponsor during established blackout periods in accordance with applicable securities laws of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Participants will receive notice of a blackout period and its anticipated end date.
Vesting
Participants are 100% vested at all times with respect to their own contributions in the Plan and the earnings thereon. Participants are also 100% vested with respect to Company safe harbor matching contributions and earnings on those contributions. Company discretionary matching and nonelective contributions vest at 20% after one year of service and increase 20% each additional year of service, becoming 100% vested after five years of service. Regardless of length of employment, a Participant is 100% vested in Company discretionary matching and nonelective contributions and earnings on those contributions if the Participant continues in employment with the Company until age 65, or if the Participant dies or becomes disabled while employed by the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no Company discretionary matching or nonelective contributions made to Participants.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures are recognized in the Plan year that the Participant receives a complete distribution of their account, or after five consecutive one-year breaks in service. Forfeited non-vested accounts may be used to first pay administrative expenses of the Plan and then applied to reduce future employer contributions.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $39,212 and $43,173 , respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Plan Sponsor did not allocate forfeited non-vested account funds to offset employer contributions.
Administration
The Plan is sponsored by the Company and the administrator is the Bed Bath & Beyond 401(k) Administrative Committee. Operating and administrative expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are the responsibility of the Plan, unless assumed by the Company. During 2025, the Company paid none of the record-keeping expenses, trustee expenses, administrative and operating expenses and has no obligation to assume any Plan expenses in the future.
Distributions
Distributions from the Plan are available upon any of the following: (1) termination of employment with the Company; and (2) disability or death. Upon occurrence of one of these events, the Participant (or the designated beneficiary) may receive a lump sum distribution equal to the value of the account or receive the value of the account in periodic installments, transfer the value of the account to an Individual Retirement Account or other qualified retirement plan, or maintain the value of the account in the Plan subject to certain fees. Distributions from the Plan will normally be taxed as ordinary income for income tax purposes, unless the Participant (or the designated beneficiary) elects to roll over his or her distributions into an Individual Retirement Account or another qualified retirement plan, or maintain the value of the account in the Plan. In addition, a Participant may withdraw an amount from his or her account attributable to the Participant's own deferral contributions to the Plan necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant or, upon the attainment of age 59 ½, all or any portion of the Participant's account balance, or in certain other limited circumstances, such as active military service (HEART Act), as defined by the Plan. In certain cases, the Plan also allows for an involuntary automatic distribution of a terminated Participant's account balance totaling less than $7,000. At the later of age 73 or termination of employment, minimum required distributions are required to commence.
7
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 % of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Each Participant is only allowed to apply for one loan each calendar year and have only one loan outstanding at any given time. Loan terms may not exceed years unless the loan is used to purchase a Participant's principal residence, in which case repayment terms may not exceed years. The loans are secured by the balance in the Participant's account and bear interest at a fixed interest rate commensurate with the prevailing prime rate, as reported by Thomson Reuters, plus an increment (currently 2 %). This rate is used by Fidelity's automated Loan Interest Rate Update Service to administer Plan loans. The "plus increment" percentage (currently 2 %) is determined by the Bed Bath & Beyond 401(k) Administrative Committee. A borrowing Participant pays principal and interest ratably through payroll deductions. Loans are due in full within 60 days of termination of employment. Notes receivable from Participants at December 31, 2025 bear interest ranging from 5.25 % to 10.50 %. At December 31, 2025, loan maturity dates range from January 2026 to December 2030.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan
The Company anticipates that the Plan will continue without interruption; however, the Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. No amendment or termination may deprive any Participant of rights accrued prior to the enactment of such amendment or termination. No amendment shall permit any part of the assets of the Plan to revert to the Company or be used or diverted for purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants. If the Plan should be terminated or partially terminated, the amount in each affected Participant's account as of the date of such termination (after proper adjustment for all expenses, earnings and allocations) becomes non-forfeitable. Such amounts are distributable by the Trustee to the Participants.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets for the year ended December 31, 2025. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect Participant accounts, balances, and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits.
Investment Valuation
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (see Note 3—Fair Value Measurements).
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
8
Contributions
Participant contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll deductions from Participants' compensation. Company matching contributions are recorded in the same period. Company profit sharing contributions, if any, are accrued in the period for which they are authorized and are deposited with the Trustee in the following year.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from Participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Delinquent notes receivable are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan Document. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Benefit Payments
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Subsequent Events
The Plan has evaluated all events subsequent to the date of the statements of net assets available for benefits and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require disclosure.
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to Level 3 measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
•Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
9
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Mutual funds: Valued at the quoted net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the Plan at year-end or the last reported sales on an active market prior to close of the Plan year. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.
Common stock of Plan Sponsor: Valued using the last reported sales on an active market prior to close of the Plan year.
Common collective trust: The common collective trusts maintained by Great Gray Trust Company, LLC, the trustee of the common collective trusts, are generally valued based on the fair value each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. The NAV per unit is computed based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding at the time of such computation.
Self-directed brokerage accounts: The Plan allows Participants to invest in self-directed brokerage accounts. The self-directed brokerage accounts include investments in cash, unit investment trusts, mutual funds, common stock, U.S. Government securities, certificates of deposit, rights, warrants, and options. These investments are valued based on the quoted NAV of shares held by the Plan at year-end or the last reported sales on an active market prior to close of the Plan year.
Money market funds: Valued at approximately one dollar per share. The administrator of the fund normally invests a majority of the fund's total assets in cash, U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully (i.e., collateralized by cash or government securities).
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following tables classify the investment assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

4. TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN
On June 30, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued an opinion letter stating that the non-standardized pre-approved Plan Document adopted by the Plan, as then designed, qualifies under Section 401(a) of the IRC. Although the non-standardized pre-approved Plan has been amended since receiving the opinion letter, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
5. PARTIES IN INTEREST
Certain investments of the Plan are shares of funds managed by the Trustee. In addition, the Plan holds an investment in Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. common stock and also issues loans to Participants. These transactions are considered exempt party-in-interest transactions.
Fees incurred by the Plan totaled $130,611 for the year ended December 31, 2025 which are recorded as administrative expenses on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
