STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return on Staples common stock between
February 3, 2001 and January 28, 2006 (the end of the 2005 fiscal year) with the cumulative total return of (1) the
Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index and (2) the Standard & Poor’s Retail Index, which was formerly called the
Standard & Poor’s 500 Retailing Index. This graph assumes the investment of $100.00 on February 3, 2001 in Staples
common stock, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index and the Standard & Poor’s Retail Index, and assumes
dividends are reinvested. Measurement points are February 2, 2002, February 1, 2003, January 31, 2004, January 29,
2005 and January 28, 2006 (Staples’ last five fiscal year ends).
