STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return on Staples common stock between

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 January 29, 2000 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 3, 2001, February 2, 2002, February 1, 2003, January 31, 2004 and
January 29, 2005 (Staples’ last five fiscal year ends).
