NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.   Basis of Presentation
 
GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies, “GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the world’s largest multichannel retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2011 (“fiscal 2010”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used by management could have significant impact on the Company’s financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 28, 2012 (“fiscal 2011”).
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current interim period presentation.
 
2.   Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
For options granted, the Company records share-based compensation expense in earnings based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected option life, expected volatility and expected employee forfeiture rate. The Company uses historical data to estimate the option life and the employee forfeiture rate, and uses historical volatility when estimating the stock price volatility. There were no stock options granted during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. There were 1,177,000 options to purchase common stock granted during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, with a weighted-average fair value estimated at $7.88, using the following assumptions:
 
         
    13 Weeks Ended
    May 1,
    2010
 
Volatility
    51.6 %
Risk-free interest rate
    1.6 %
Expected life (years)
    3.5  
Expected dividend yield
    0 %
 
In the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, the Company included compensation expense relating to stock option grants of $1.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of April 30, 2011, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of our stock options was $7.6 million, which is expected to be

recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010 was $7.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
 
During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, 448,000 shares of restricted stock were granted with a fair market value of $20.85 per share. Of these shares, 368,000 vest in equal annual installments over three years and 80,000 vest over three years subject to performance targets based on fiscal 2011 operating results. The restricted stock granted during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 was 683,000 shares with a fair market value of $20.32 per share, which vest in equal annual installments over three years. During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, the Company included compensation expense relating to the restricted share grants in the amount of $3.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of April 30, 2011, there was $20.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

4.   Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
 
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value accounting guidance applies to our forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps (together, the “Foreign Currency Contracts”), Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition.

GAMESTOP CORP.
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Fair value accounting guidance requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
 
We value our Foreign Currency Contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.
 
The following table provides the fair value of our assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):

The Company uses Foreign Currency Contracts to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These Foreign Currency Contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the re-measurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments and cash equivalent investments. The Company manages counterparty risk according to the guidelines and controls established under comprehensive risk management and investment policies. We continuously monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize a number of different counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under derivative or investment agreements.

5.   Debt
 
On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million credit agreement (the “Revolver”), which amended and restated, in its entirety, the Company’s prior credit agreement entered into on October 11, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Revolver provides for a five-year, $400 million asset-based facility, including a $50 million letter of credit sublimit, secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets. The Company has the ability to increase the facility, which matures in January 2016, by $150 million under certain circumstances. The extension of the Revolver to 2016 reduces our exposure to potential tightening in the credit markets.
 
The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 90% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow by their face value. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally permitted, except under certain circumstances, including if Revolver excess availability is less than 20%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment. In addition, if Revolver usage is projected to be equal to or greater than 25% of the borrowing base during the prospective 12-month period, the Company is subject to meeting a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1:1.0 prior to making such payments. In the event that excess availability under the Revolver is at any time less than the greater of (1) $40.0 million or (2) 12.5% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.1:1.0.

The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, loans, guarantees, acquisitions and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The per annum interest rate under the Revolver is variable and is calculated by applying a margin (1) for prime rate loans of 1.25% to 1.50% above the highest of (a) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBO rate for a 30-day interest period as determined on such day plus 1.00%, and (2) for LIBO rate loans of 2.25% to 2.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Company’s average daily excess availability under the facility and is set at 1.25% for prime rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO rate loans until the first day of the fiscal quarter of the borrowers commencing on May 1, 2011. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% or 0.50%, depending on facility usage, for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of April 30, 2011, the applicable margin was 1.25% for prime rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO rate loans, while the required commitment fee was 0.50% for the unused portion of the Revolver.
 
The Revolver provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, any material representation or warranty made by the Company or the borrowers proving to be false in any material respect, certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company or its subsidiaries, defaults relating to certain other indebtedness, imposition of certain judgments and mergers or the liquidation of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries.
 
As of April 30, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8.5 million.
 
In September 2007, the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20.0 million Uncommitted Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit”) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit will be made available to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short-term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of April 30, 2011, there were no cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $6.2 million.
 
In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”) and $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes” and, together with the Senior Floating Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated September 28, 2005 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). In November 2006, Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new Trustee for the Notes.
 
The Senior Notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum, mature on October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a discount at the time of issue of $8.5 million. The discount is being amortized using the effective interest method. As of April 30, 2011, the unamortized original issue discount was $0.8 million. The Issuers pay interest on the Senior Notes semi-annually, in arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, and at maturity.
 
The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings, including, among other things, limitations on (1) the incurrence of additional debt, (2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) sale and leaseback transactions and (5) asset sales. Events of default provided for in the Indenture include, among other things, failure to pay interest or principal on the Notes, other breaches of covenants in the Indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. As of April 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Revolver and the Indenture.
 
Under certain conditions, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions prior to maturity redeem up to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued under the Indenture at redemption prices at or in excess of

100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. The circumstances which would limit the percentage of the Notes which may be redeemed or which would require the Company to pay a premium in excess of 100% of the principal amount are defined in the Indenture. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuers are required to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. The Issuers may acquire Senior Notes by means other than redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisitions do not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.
 
Between May 2006 and October 2010, the Company repurchased and redeemed the $300 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes and $400 million of Senior Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. The repurchased Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. None of the debt was retired or redeemed during the 13-week periods ended May 1, 2010 or April 30, 2011.
 
On February 4, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to use $500 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock and/or retire the Company’s Senior Notes. Under the repurchase program, the Company may purchase the Company’s Senior Notes and/or shares of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock through open market purchases, debt calls or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual amount of debt or share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on their evaluation of market conditions and other factors. In addition, repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of April 30, 2011, no amount of the $500 million repurchase plan has been used to retire the Senior Notes and $382.3 million remains under the outstanding authorization.
 
As of April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, the only long-term debt outstanding was the Senior Notes. The $250 million in Senior Notes outstanding as of April 30, 2011, gross of the unamortized original issue discount of $0.8 million, matures in the fiscal year ending January 2013.
 
6.   Income Taxes
 
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before and including the fiscal year ended January 28, 2006.
 
We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. There were no net material adjustments to our recorded liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions could significantly increase or decrease during the next 12 months. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.
 
The tax provisions for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010 are based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.
 
7.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 
The Company has various relationships with Barnes & Noble, Inc. (“Barnes & Noble”), a related party through a common stockholder who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Barnes & Noble and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company operates departments within eight bookstores operated by Barnes & Noble, whereby the Company pays a license fee to Barnes & Noble on the gross sales of such departments. Additionally, until April 30, 2011, www.gamestop.com was the exclusive specialty video game retailer listed on www.bn.com, Barnes & Noble’s e-commerce site whereby the Company paid a fee to Barnes & Noble for sales of video game or PC entertainment products sold through www.bn.com. The Company also continues to incur costs related to its participation in Barnes & Noble’s workers’ compensation, property and general liability insurance

8.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company is, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. Management does not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto. Statements regarding future economic performance, management’s plans and objectives, and any statements concerning assumptions related to the foregoing contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations constitute forward-looking statements. Certain factors, which may cause actual results to vary materially from these forward-looking statements, accompany such statements or appear in GameStop’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”), including the factors disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
 
General
 
GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies, “GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is the world’s largest multichannel retailer of video game products and PC entertainment software. We sell new and used video game hardware, video game software and accessories, as well as PC entertainment software and other merchandise. As of April 30, 2011, we operated 6,573 stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, primarily under the names GameStop, EB Games and Micromania. We also operate electronic commerce Web sites www.gamestop.com, www.ebgames.com.au, www.gamestop.ca, www.gamestop.it, www.gamestop.es, www.gamestop.ie, www.gamestop.de and www.micromania.fr. In addition, we publish Game Informer magazine, the industry’s largest multi-platform video game magazine in the United States based on circulation, and operate the online video gaming Web site www.kongregate.com.
 
Our fiscal year is composed of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The fiscal years ending January 28, 2012 (“fiscal 2011”) and ended January 29, 2011 (“fiscal 2010”) consist of 52 weeks.
 
Growth in the video game industry is generally driven by the introduction of new technology. The current generation of hardware consoles (the Sony PlayStation 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii) were introduced between 2005 and 2007. The Sony PlayStation Portable was introduced in 2005. The Nintendo DSi XL was introduced in early 2010 and the Nintendo 3DS was introduced in March 2011. Typically, following the introduction of new video game platforms, sales of new video game hardware increase as a percentage of total sales in the first full year following introduction. As video game platforms mature, the sales mix attributable to complementary video game software and accessories, which generate higher gross margins, generally increases in the subsequent years. The net effect is generally a decline in gross margins in the first full year following new platform releases and an increase in gross margins in the years subsequent to the first full year following the launch period. Unit sales of maturing video game platforms are typically also driven by manufacturer-funded retail price reductions, further driving sales of related software and accessories. We expect that the installed base of the hardware platforms listed above and sales of related software and accessories will increase in the future.
 
We expect that future growth in the video game industry will also be driven by the sale of video games delivered in digital form and the expansion of other forms of gaming. We currently sell various types of products that relate to the digital category, including Xbox live, PlayStation and Nintendo network point cards, as well as prepaid digital and online timecards and digitally downloaded software. We continue to make significant investments in e-commerce, online game development, digital kiosks and in-store and Web site functionality to enable our customers to access digital content and eliminate friction in the digital sales and delivery process. We plan to continue to invest in these types of processes and channels to grow our digital sales base and enhance our market leadership position in the video game industry and in the digital aggregation and distribution category. We also intend to continue to invest in customer loyalty programs designed to attract and retain customers.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our 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 do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies and the means by which we

The Company includes purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than cost of sales, in the statement of operations. The Company includes processing fees associated with purchases made by check and credit cards in cost of sales, rather than selling, general and administrative expenses, in the statement of operations. As a result of these classifications, our gross margins are not comparable to those retailers that include purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in cost of sales and include processing fees associated with purchases made by check and credit cards in selling, general and administrative expenses. The net effect of these classifications as a percentage of sales has not historically been material.

13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared with the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010
 
Sales increased by $198.7 million, or 9.5%, from $2,082.7 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $2,281.4 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to an increase in comparable store sales of 5.3%, the addition of non-comparable store sales from the 421 stores opened since January 30, 2010, and changes related to foreign exchange rates, which had the effect of increasing sales by $32.4 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in comparable store sales was primarily due to an increase in new video game hardware sales and an increase in used video game product sales in fiscal 2011 when compared to fiscal 2010. Stores are included in our comparable store sales base beginning in the thirteenth month of operation and exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.
 
New video game hardware sales increased $84.1 million, or 24.1%, from $348.3 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $432.4 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, primarily due to the launch of the Nintendo 3DS in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. New video game software sales increased $41.6 million, or 4.8%, from $873.1 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $914.7 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, primarily due to the strong sales of new release video game titles in fiscal 2011, as well as the increase in sales from new stores added since fiscal 2010. Used video game product sales increased $54.2 million, or 9.5%, from $570.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $625.0 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. Used video game product sales grew due to an increase in the availability of hardware and software associated with the current generation hardware platforms, the growth of used video game product sales internationally, as well as the addition of sales at the new stores added since fiscal 2010. Other video game product sales increased by $18.8 million, or 6.5%, from $290.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $309.3 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. The increase in other product sales was primarily due to the increase in video game accessory sales internationally.
 
As a percentage of sales, new video game hardware sales increased and new video game software and other product sales decreased in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The change in the mix of sales was primarily due to the increase in new video game hardware sales as a result of the launch of the Nintendo 3DS. As a percentage of sales, the used video game product sales category remained the same in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010.
 
Cost of sales increased by $149.3 million, or 9.9%, from $1,511.9 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $1,661.2 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 as a result of an increase in sales and the changes in gross profit discussed below.
 
Gross profit increased by $49.4 million, or 8.7%, from $570.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $620.2 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 27.4% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to 27.2% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. The gross profit percentage decrease was caused primarily by the increase in hardware product sales which have a lower gross margin percentage than other product categories. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game hardware


22


Table of Contents

increased from 6.1% in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to 7.0% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, primarily due to higher international gross margin recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as a result of lower promotional activities when compared to the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game software decreased from 20.0% to 19.1% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, primarily due to the decrease in international new software sales, which have a higher gross margin percentage than U.S. new software sales, and increased promotional activities during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on used video game products decreased slightly from 48.1% to 48.0% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on other product sales increased from 34.7% to 37.2% in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, due to a shift in sales to higher margin digital product sales, some of which are recorded on a commission basis at 100% margin.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $38.9 million, or 9.6%, from $403.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $442.7 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of stores in operation and the related increases in store, distribution and corporate office operating expenses, as well as expenses incurred in our digital and loyalty initiatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales did not change from the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is $4.9 million and $7.2 million in stock-based compensation expense for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, respectively.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.9 million from $42.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $46.4 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to capital expenditures associated with the opening of 62 new stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and investments in information systems and e-commerce, digital and loyalty program initiatives.
 
Interest income from the investment of excess cash balances decreased from $0.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $0.2 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, due primarily to lower invested cash balances. Interest expense decreased from $10.4 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $6.3 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, primarily due to the retirement of $200.0 million of the Company’s senior notes since January 30, 2010.
 
Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 was based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $45.0 million, or 36.0% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared to $40.1 million, or 34.9% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The increase in the income tax rate was due primarily to the variability in the accounting for the Company’s uncertain tax positions.
 
The factors described above led to an increase in operating earnings of $6.6 million, or 5.3%, from $124.5 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $131.1 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, and an increase in consolidated net income of $5.2 million, or 7.0%, from $74.8 million in the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 to $80.0 million in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011.
 
The $0.4 million increase in consolidated net income attributable to GameStop stockholders during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 represents the portion of the minority interest stockholders’ net loss of the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries.

United States
 
Segment results for the United States include retail operations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam, the electronic commerce Web site www.gamestop.com, Game Informer magazine and www.kongregate.com, an online video gaming site. As of April 30, 2011, the United States segment included 4,434 GameStop stores compared to 4,443 stores on May 1, 2010. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $169.6 million, or 11.1%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of increased sales at existing stores and the opening of 264 new stores since January 30, 2010, including 37 stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Sales at existing stores increased due to the strong sales of new hardware, including the launch of the Nintendo 3DS and strong sales of new release video game software and used video game products during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. Segment operating income increased by 10.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010, driven primarily by the increase in sales and related margin discussed above.
 
Canada
 
Segment results for Canada include retail operations in Canada and their e-commerce site. Sales in the Canadian segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $3.8 million, or 3.6%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the favorable exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which had the effect of increasing sales by $5.5 million. Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates, sales in the Canadian segment decreased by 1.6%. The decrease in sales was primarily due to a decrease in sales at existing stores, which was driven by weak consumer traffic when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010. As of April 30, 2011, the Canadian segment had 346 stores compared to 339 stores as of May 1, 2010. Segment operating income decreased by $3.5 million to $0.3 million compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decrease in sales at existing stores and the deleveraging of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Australia
 
Segment results for Australia include retail operations and e-commerce sites in Australia and New Zealand. As of April 30, 2011, the Australian segment included 408 stores, compared to 391 stores as of May 1, 2010. Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 10.8% to $118.8 million compared to first quarter fiscal 2010 sales of $107.2 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to the favorable exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which had the effect of increasing sales by $13.2 million, as well as the additional sales at the 24 stores added since January 30, 2010. Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates, sales in the Australian segment decreased 1.5%. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower sales at existing stores due to weak consumer traffic when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Segment operating income increased $1.1 million to $3.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to increased sales in the used and other product categories which carry higher margins than other sales categories. In addition, the favorable impact of changes in exchange rates had the effect of increasing operating earnings by $0.4 million for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 when compared to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010.
 
Europe
 
Segment results for Europe include retail operations in 13 European countries and e-commerce sites in five countries. As of April 30, 2011, the European segment operated 1,385 stores compared to 1,313 stores as of May 1, 2010. For the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, European sales increased $13.7 million, or 4.0%, compared to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The increase in sales was primarily due to the additional sales at the 121 stores opened since January 30, 2010 and the favorable impact of changes in exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which had the effect of increasing sales by $14.2 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase in sales was partially offset by a decrease in sales at existing stores, which was primarily driven by weak consumer traffic due to the continued macroeconomic weakness when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
 
The segment operating loss in Europe was $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in the operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily driven by the decreased sales at existing stores and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the increase in the number of stores in operation, as well as the impact of changes in exchange rates recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which had the effect of increasing the operating loss by $0.6 million when compared to fiscal 2010. The first quarter of fiscal 2011 also includes charges related to our continued efforts to improve long-term operating results in Europe, including costs incurred during the quarter associated with closing underperforming stores.
 
Seasonality
 
The Company’s business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of the sales and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter which includes the holiday selling season.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows
 
During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, cash used in operations was $132.5 million, compared to cash used in operations of $257.8 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The decrease in cash used in operations of $125.3 million was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for working capital purposes of $113.0 million, primarily driven by lower inventory purchases in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and the related effects on accounts payable payments. The lower inventory purchases were due to better in-stock positions coming out of the fiscal 2010 holiday selling season, particularly hardware inventory which was in short supply at the end of the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2009”).
 
Cash used in investing activities was $60.1 million and $36.1 million during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, respectively. During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, $42.4 million of cash was used primarily to invest in information systems and e-commerce, digital and loyalty program initiatives and to open new stores in

the U.S. and internationally. In addition, the Company used $11.4 million for acquisitions in support of the Company’s digital initiatives. During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, $35.3 million of cash was used primarily to open new stores in the U.S. and internationally and to invest in information systems and e-commerce, digital and loyalty program initiatives.
 
Cash used in financing activities was $133.0 million and $190.6 million for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, respectively. The cash used in financing activities for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 was primarily due to the purchase of $139.8 million of treasury shares pursuant to the Board of Directors’ $500 million authorization in February 2011, offset by the issuance of shares relating to stock option exercises of $7.2 million. The cash used in financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 was primarily due to the purchase of $188.9 million of treasury shares pursuant to the Board of Directors’ $300 million authorization in January 2010 and $2.7 million for the realization of tax expense relating to the stock option exercises and vested restricted stock.
 
Sources of Liquidity
 
We utilize cash generated from operations and have funds available to us under our revolving credit facility to cover seasonal fluctuations in cash flows and to support our various growth initiatives. Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value, and consist primarily of time deposits with highly rated commercial banks and money market investment funds holding direct U.S. Treasury obligations.
 
On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million credit agreement (the “Revolver”), which amended and restated, in its entirety, the Company’s prior credit agreement entered into on October 11, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Revolver provides for a five-year, $400 million asset-based facility, including a $50 million letter of credit sublimit, secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets. The Company has the ability to increase the facility, which matures in January 2016, by $150 million under certain circumstances. The extension of the Revolver to 2016 reduces our exposure to potential tightening in the credit markets.
 
The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 90% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow by their face value. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally permitted, except under certain circumstances, including if Revolver excess availability is less than 20%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment. In addition, if Revolver usage is projected to be equal to or greater than 25% of the borrowing base during the prospective 12-month period, the Company is subject to meeting a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1:1.0 prior to making such payments. In the event that excess availability under the Revolver is at any time less than the greater of (1) $40.0 million or (2) 12.5% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.1:1.0.
 
The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, loans, guarantees, acquisitions and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The per annum interest rate under the Revolver is variable and is calculated by applying a margin (1) for prime rate loans of 1.25% to 1.50% above the highest of (a) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBO rate for a 30-day interest period as determined on such day plus 1.00%, and (2) for LIBO rate loans of 2.25% to 2.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Company’s average daily excess availability under the facility and is set at 1.25% for prime rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO rate loans until the first day of the fiscal quarter of the borrowers commencing on May 1, 2011. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% or 0.50%, depending on facility usage, for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of April 30, 2011 the applicable margin was 1.25% for prime rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO rate loans, while the required commitment fee was 0.50% for the unused portion of the Revolver.
 
The Revolver provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, any material representation or warranty made by the Company or the borrowers proving to be false in any material respect, certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company or its subsidiaries, defaults relating to certain other indebtedness,

imposition of certain judgments and mergers or the liquidation of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries. As of April 30, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8.5 million.
 
In September 2007, the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20.0 million Uncommitted Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit”) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit will be made available to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short-term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of April 30, 2011, there were no cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $6.2 million.
 
In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”) and $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes” and, together with the Senior Floating Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated September 28, 2005 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). In November 2006, Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new Trustee for the Notes.
 
The Senior Notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum, mature on October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a discount at the time of issue of $8.5 million. The discount is being amortized using the effective interest method. As of April 30, 2011, the unamortized original issue discount was $0.8 million. The Issuers pay interest on the Senior Notes semi-annually, in arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, and at maturity.
 
The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings, including, among other things, limitations on (1) the incurrence of additional debt, (2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) sale and leaseback transactions and (5) asset sales. Events of default provided for in the Indenture include, among other things, failure to pay interest or principal on the Notes, other breaches of covenants in the Indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. As of April 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Revolver and the Indenture.
 
Under certain conditions, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions prior to maturity redeem up to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued under the Indenture at redemption prices at or in excess of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. The circumstances which would limit the percentage of the Notes which may be redeemed or which would require the Company to pay a premium in excess of 100% of the principal amount are defined in the Indenture. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuers are required to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. The Issuers may acquire Senior Notes by means other than redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisitions do not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.
 
As of April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, the only long-term debt outstanding was the Senior Notes. The $250 million in Senior Notes outstanding as of April 30, 2011, gross of the unamortized original issue discount of $0.8 million, matures in the fiscal year ending January 2013.
 
Uses of Capital
 
Our future capital requirements will depend on the number of new stores opened and the timing of those openings within a given fiscal year. The Company opened 62 stores in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and expects to open approximately 300 stores in fiscal 2011. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2011 are projected to be approximately $170 million, to be used primarily to fund new store openings, store remodels and invest in distribution and information systems in support of operations. In addition, in fiscal 2011 we have allocated approximately $100 million for acquisitions in support of our e-commerce and digital initiatives.

Between May 2006 and October 2010, the Company repurchased and redeemed the $300 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes and $400 million of Senior Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. The repurchased Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. None of the debt was retired or redeemed during the 13-week periods ended May 1, 2010 or April 30, 2011.
 
On January 11, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $300 million share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock. For fiscal 2009, the number of shares repurchased were 6.1 million for an average price per share of $20.12. Of these shares, $64.6 million of treasury share purchases were settled at the beginning of fiscal 2010. For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company purchased an additional 6.5 million shares for an average price per share of $19.03. In September 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an additional $300 million share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock. For the remainder of fiscal 2010, the Company purchased an additional 10.5 million shares for an average price per share of $20.35. Of these shares, $22.0 million of treasury share purchases were settled at the beginning of fiscal 2011.
 
On February 4, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to use $500 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock and/or retire the Company’s Senior Notes. Under the repurchase program, the Company may purchase the Company’s Senior Notes and/or shares of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock through open market purchases, debt calls or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual amount of debt or share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on their evaluation of market conditions and other factors. In addition, repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 5.9 million shares at an average price per share of $19.88. As of April 30, 2011, no amount of the $500 million repurchase plan has been used to retire the Senior Notes and $382.3 million remains available in the plan.
 
Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund our operations, required payments on the Senior Notes, digital initiatives, store expansion and remodeling activities and corporate capital expenditure programs for at least the next 12 months.

  •  the impact and costs of litigation and regulatory compliance;
 
  •  unanticipated litigation results, including third-party litigation;
 
  •  the risks involved with our international operations; and
 
  •  other factors described in the Form 10-K, including those set forth under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
 
In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “pro forma,” “should,” “seeks,” “will” or similar expressions. These statements are only predictions based on current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this Form 10-Q. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances contained in this Form 10-Q may not occur, causing actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements.
 
ITEM 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Interest Rate Exposure
 
We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. We limit our interest rate risks by investing our excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments with a maturity of one year or less. In addition, the Senior Notes outstanding carry a fixed interest rate. We do not expect any material losses from our invested cash balances, and we believe that our interest rate exposure is modest.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
The Company uses forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps (together, the “Foreign Currency Contracts”) to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Foreign Currency Contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the re-measurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities. For the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011, the Company recognized a $9.3 million loss in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments. The aggregate fair value of the Foreign Currency Contracts as of April 30, 2011 was a net liability of $6.3 million as measured by observable inputs obtained from market news reporting services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. A hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign exchange rates underlying the Foreign Currency Contracts from the market rate as of April 30, 2011 would result in a (loss) or gain in value of the forwards, options and swaps of ($18.7) million or $18.7 million, respectively.
 
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments and cash equivalent investments. The Company manages counterparty risk according to the guidelines and controls established under comprehensive risk management and investment policies. We continuously monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize a number of different counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under derivative or investment agreements.

ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the reasonable assurance level. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company is, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if we believe settlement is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. Management does not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
There have been no material developments in previously reported legal proceedings during the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q.
 
ITEM 1A.   Risk Factors
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2011. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K have not changed materially, however, they are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.
