Exhibit 99.1
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

On February 27, 2017, Staples, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Staples", or "the Company”) completed the sale of a controlling interest in its European operations (other than its retail business in the United Kingdom, the sale of which was completed on November 18, 2016 in a separate transaction). Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company's European operations, including its retail business in the United Kingdom, have been reported as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016 and for fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013 give effect to both of these dispositions as if they had occurred on February 3, 2013, the first day of fiscal year 2013. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to these dispositions as if they had occurred on October 29, 2016, the date of the Company’s most recently filed balance sheet.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Staples’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016, and (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” included in Staples’ Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016 filed with the SEC on November 17, 2016.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented based on currently available information and are intended for informational purposes only. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what Staples’ results of operations or financial condition would have been had the dispositions been completed on the dates assumed. In addition, they are not necessarily indicative of Staples’ future results of operations or financial condition.

(i) Upon completion of this transaction on November 18, 2016, Staples delivered its retail business in the United Kingdom with approximately $28 million (£22 million) of cash on-hand.
(ii) Represents $182 million (€172 million) of cash on-hand at the European Operations as of February 27, 2017, the closing date of this transaction, net of $53 million (€50 million) of cash proceeds related to the sale. Cash on-hand included $175 million (€166 million) related to a preliminary estimate of the requisite unrestricted cash, as defined in the SPA, plus an additional $7 million (€6 million) related to other obligations outlined in the SPA.
(iii) Represents a $34 million incremental liability related to certain ongoing lease guarantees, net of $4 million of obligations that were transferred to the buyer. For the purpose of the pro forma financial information, the Company has assumed that amounts paid in the future related to the lease guarantees will be consistent with the liability reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.
