Third-Quarter Financial Outlook

- Earnings are expected to be in the range of flat to low single digit percentage decrease compared with last year''s 50 cents per share.
- Earnings per share are anticipated to increase by approximately a mid to high single-digit percentage if comps are consistent with company’s guidance of 3% to 5% increase.

Fourth Quarter Forecast

The year-over-year change in earnings per share is expected to range from a low single-digit percentage decrease to a low single-digit percentage increase, primarily due to the extra week in fiscal 2006.

As a result of the ongoing share repurchase program, the acquisition of buybuy BABY and an increase in capital expenditures among other considerations, interest income is expected to decline for all of fiscal 2007.

There is no Question and Answer session associated with the first quarter earnings call conducted by Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (BBBY: chart) on June 27, 2007.
