The Company
GameStop Corp. ("GameStop," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation established in 1996, is a leading specialty retailer offering games and entertainment products through its thousands of stores and ecommerce platforms.
We operate our business in four geographic segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements refers to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they exclude certain disclosures required under GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are unaudited. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2024 ("fiscal 2023") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 26, 2024, as amended by our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024 (as amended, the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Due to the seasonal nature of our business, our results of operations for the three months ended May 4, 2024 are not indicative of our future results for the 52 weeks ending February 1, 2025 ("fiscal 2024"). Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Fiscal 2024 consists of 52 weeks ending on February 1, 2025. Fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks ended on February 3, 2024. All three-month periods presented herein contain 13 weeks. All references to years, quarters and months relate to fiscal periods rather than calendar periods. Our business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of the net sales realized during the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.
At-The-Market Equity Offering Program
On May 17, 2024, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (the “Sales Agent”) providing for the sale by the Company of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Shares”), from time to time through the Sales Agent in connection with an "at-the-market" equity offering program ("ATM Offering"). Pursuant to the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on May 17, 2024 (the "May Prospectus Supplement"), we sold an aggregate of 45.0 million Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $933.4 million.
Pursuant to the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on June 7, 2024, (the “June Prospectus Supplement”) We sold an aggregate of 75.0 million additional Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $2.137 billion.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the ATM Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and investments in a manner consistent with our investment policy.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. We regularly evaluate the estimates related to our assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions that we have used could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
