1.	Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Background

GameStop Corp. (“GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a global family of specialty retail brands that makes the most popular technologies affordable and simple. As the world's largest multichannel video game retailer, we sell new and pre-owned video game hardware, physical and digital video game software, video game accessories, as well as new and pre-owned mobile and consumer electronics products and other merchandise primarily through our GameStop_TM, EB Games_TM and Micromania stores. As of May 2, 2015, we operated 6,715 stores, in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, which are primarily located in major shopping malls and strip centers. We also operate the electronic commerce websites www.gamestop.com, www.ebgames.com.au, www.ebgames.co.nz, www.gamestop.ca, www.gamestop.it, www.gamestop.ie, www.gamestop.de, www.gamestop.co.uk and www.micromania.fr. Our network also includes: www.kongregate.com, a leading browser-based game site; Game Informer_TM magazine, the world's leading print and digital video game publication; and iOS and Android mobile applications. We also own and operate Spring Mobile^©, an authorized AT&T^® reseller operating AT&T branded wireless retail stores and pre-paid wireless stores under the name Cricket Wireless_TM (an AT&T brand) in the United States, as well as a certified Apple^© reseller selling Apple consumer electronic products in the United States under the name Simply Mac^©. We operate our business in four Video Game Brands segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe; and a Technology Brands segment, which includes the operations of our Spring Mobile managed AT&T and Cricket Wireless branded stores and our Simply Mac business.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All 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 our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the information as of and 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 consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended January 31, 2015 (the “2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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, we have made our 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 us could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 30, 2016 (“fiscal 2015”).

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $12.0 million, $16.3 million and $12.7 million as of May 2, 2015, May 3, 2014 and January 31, 2015, respectively, consists primarily of bank deposits serving as collateral for bank guarantees issued on behalf of our foreign subsidiaries and is included in other noncurrent assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-05, "Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." This standard provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. This standard will be applied retrospectively, and we do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 related to revenue recognition. The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. On April 1, 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017. The FASB has also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements as well as the appropriate method of adoption.



2.	Acquisitions

Technology Brands

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, in connection with the continued expansion of our Technology Brands segment, Spring Mobile completed acquisitions of certain AT&T resellers and Simply Mac completed an acquisition of an authorized Apple retailer for total combined consideration of $10.9 million (net of cash acquired). We recorded $1.1 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions. The operating results of these acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the respective closing dates of each acquisition and are reported in our Technology Brands segment. The pro forma effect assuming these acquisitions were made at the beginning of the prior year presented herein is not material to our consolidated financial statements. As of May 2, 2015, we had not completed the final fair value assignments and continue to analyze certain matters related to the valuation of intangible assets.

We continue to believe that our Spring Mobile and Simply Mac businesses represent important strategic growth opportunities for us within the specialty retail marketplace and also provide avenues for diversification relative to our core operations in the video game retail marketplace.



3.	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The following is a summary of the stock-based awards granted during the periods indicated:



	13 Weeks Ended May 2, 2015			13 Weeks Ended May 3, 2014
	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Stock options – time-vested	—	$	—	283	$	12.37
Restricted stock awards – time-vested	428	40.16		406	38.52
Restricted stock awards – performance-based	189	40.16		182	38.52
Total stock-based awards	617			871

For restricted stock awards and stock options granted, we record stock-based compensation expense in earnings based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of each restricted stock award grant is based on the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the grant date. 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, expected dividend yield and expected employee forfeiture rate. We use historical data to estimate the option life, dividend yield and the employee forfeiture rate, and use historical volatility when estimating the stock price volatility. No stock options were granted during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015.

Table of Contents

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following assumptions were used with respect to the stock options granted for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014:



	13 Weeks Ended
	May 3, 2014
Volatility	46.5	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.7	%
Expected term (years)	5.5
Expected dividend yield	3.4	%

During the first quarter of 2015, we recorded additional compensation expense of $3.8 million related to employees whose equity based long-term incentive awards are subject to certain accelerated vesting provisions, based on age and years of service, as a result of the Company's retirement policy, which became effective in February 2015. Total stock-based compensation recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses was as follows for the periods indicated:



	13 Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2015		May 3, 2014
	(In millions)
Stock-based compensation expense	$	10.3	$	5.9

As of May 2, 2015, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of our stock options was $2.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years, and the unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares was $40.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.



4.	Computation of Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Under the treasury stock method, potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share if their effect would be antidilutive.

A reconciliation of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:



		13 Weeks Ended
		May 2, 2015		May 3, 2014
	(In millions, except per share data)
Net income		$	73.8	$	68.0
Weighted average common shares outstanding		107.8		115.1
Dilutive effect of options and restricted shares on common stock⁽¹⁾		0.6		0.8
Common shares and dilutive potential common shares		108.4		115.9
Net income per common share:
Basic		$	0.68	$	0.59
Diluted		$	0.68	$	0.59

___________________


⁽¹⁾	Excludes 0.9 million and 1.8 million stock-based awards for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, respectively, because their effects were antidilutive.

5.	Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Recurring Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined 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 foreign currency contracts, which include forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps, our 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.

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 quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for similar or identical instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.

We classify our foreign currency contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as their fair values are derived using quotes provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg, 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, all of which are observable in active markets. 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 at fair value on a recurring basis and recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):



	May 2, 2015 Level 2		May 3, 2014 Level 2		January 31, 2015 Level 2

⁽¹⁾	Recognized in other non-current assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.


⁽²⁾	Recognized in accrued liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We use 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 remeasurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities. The total gross notional value of derivatives related to our foreign currency contracts was $989.0 million, $542.8 million and $1,128.5 million as of May 2, 2015, May 3, 2014 and January 31, 2015, 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. We manage counterparty risk according to the guidelines and controls established under our 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.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. We did not record any significant impairment charges related to assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 or May 3, 2014, respectively.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying values of our cash equivalents, receivables, net and accounts payable approximate the fair value due to their short-term maturities.

As of May 2, 2015, our 5.50% Senior Notes due 2019 had a carrying value of $350.0 million and a fair value of $362.0 million. The fair value of the Senior Notes was determined based on quoted market prices obtained through an external pricing source which derives its price valuations from daily marketplace transactions, with adjustments to reflect the spreads of benchmark bonds, credit risk and certain other variables. We have determined this to be a Level 2 measurement as all significant inputs into the quote provided by our external pricing source are observable in active markets.



6.	Debt

Issuance of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2019. On September 24, 2014, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 5.50% senior notes due October 1, 2019 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.50% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2015. The Senior Notes were sold in a private placement and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. The Senior Notes were offered in the U.S. to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to the exemption from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and in exempted offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The outstanding balance of the Senior Notes at May 2, 2015 was $350.0 million.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes does not contain financial covenants but does contain covenants which place certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, stock repurchases, dividends, distributions, the incurrence of additional debt and the repurchase of debt that is junior to the Senior Notes. These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications.

The indenture contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable. These amounts automatically become due and payable if an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs.

Revolving Credit Facility. On January 4, 2011, we entered into a $400 million credit agreement, which we amended and restated on March 25, 2014 and further amended on September 15, 2014 (the “Revolver”). The Revolver is a five-year, asset-based facility that is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries. Availability under the Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation. The Revolver includes a $50 million letter of credit sublimit. The amendments extended the maturity date to March 25, 2019; increased the expansion feature under the Revolver from $150 million to $200 million, subject to certain conditions; and revised certain other terms, including a reduction of the fee we are required to pay on the unused portion of the total commitment amount.

Borrowing availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows us 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. The borrowing base provides for borrowing of up to 92.5% of the appraisal value during the fiscal months of August through October. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow under the Revolver by an amount equal to the face value of the letters of credit. Our ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally permitted, except under certain circumstances, including if either 1) excess availability under the Revolver is less than 30%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment or 2) if excess availability under the Revolver is less than 15%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment, and the fixed charge coverage ratio, as calculated on a pro-forma basis for the prior 12 months is 1.1:1.0 or less. In the event that excess availability under the Revolver is at any time less than the greater of (1) $30 million or (2) 10% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, we will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0.

The Revolver places certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, loans, guarantees, acquisitions and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Absent consent from our lenders, we may not incur more than $1 billion of senior secured debt and $750 million of additional unsecured indebtedness to be limited to $250 million in general unsecured obligations and $500 million in unsecured obligations to finance acquisitions valued at $500 million or more.

The per annum interest rate under the Revolver is variable and is calculated by applying a margin (1) for prime rate loans of 0.25% to 0.75% above the highest of (a) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (c) the London Interbank Offered (“LIBO”) rate for a 30-day interest period as determined on such day plus 1.00%, and (2) for LIBO rate loans of 1.25% to 1.75% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of our average daily excess availability under the facility. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of May 2, 2015, the applicable margin was 0.25% for prime rate loans and 1.25% for LIBO rate loans.

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 us or the borrowers proving to be false in any material respect, certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events affecting us or our subsidiaries, defaults relating to certain other indebtedness, imposition of certain judgments and mergers or the liquidation of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, we had no borrowings or repayments under the Revolver. As of May 2, 2015, total availability under the Revolver was $391.7 million, with no outstanding borrowings and outstanding standby letters of credit of $8.3 million.

In September 2007, our Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20 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 is available to our 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 May 2, 2015, there were no cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $2.3 million.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants under our indenture governing the Senior Notes and our credit agreement.



7.	Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions and consumer class actions. We 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 our stockholders. We do not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

operations in five countries. The Technology Brands segment includes retail operations in the United States. We measure segment profit using operating earnings, which is defined as income from continuing operations before intercompany royalty fees, net interest expense and income taxes.

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 unaudited condensed 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. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2015 (the “2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), including the factors disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” as well as “Disclosure Regarding Forward-looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below, for certain factors which may cause actual results to vary materially from these forward-looking statements.

General

GameStop Corp. (“GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a global family of specialty retail brands that makes the most popular technologies affordable and simple. As the world's largest multichannel video game retailer, we sell new and pre-owned video game hardware, physical and digital video game software, video game accessories, as well as new and pre-owned mobile and consumer electronics products and other merchandise primarily through our GameStop, EB Games and Micromania stores. As of May 2, 2015, we operated 6,715 stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, which are primarily located in major shopping malls and strip centers. We also operate electronic commerce websites www.gamestop.com, www.ebgames.com.au, www.ebgames.co.nz, www.gamestop.ca, www.gamestop.it, www.gamestop.ie, www.gamestop.de, www.gamestop.co.uk and www.micromania.fr. The network also includes: www.kongregate.com, our leading web and mobile gaming platform; Game Informer magazine, the world's leading print and digital video game publication; and iOS and Android mobile applications. We also own and operate Spring Mobile, an authorized AT&T reseller operating AT&T branded wireless retail stores and pre-paid wireless stores under the name Cricket Wireless (an AT&T brand) in the United States, as well as a certified Apple reseller selling Apple consumer electronic products in the United States under the name Simply Mac. We operate our business in four Video Game Brands segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe; and a Technology Brands segment, which includes the operations of our Spring Mobile managed AT&T and Cricket Wireless branded stores and our Simply Mac business.

Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. The fiscal year ending January 30, 2016 ("fiscal 2015") and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 ("fiscal 2014") each consists of 52 weeks.

Growth in the electronic game industry is generally driven by the introduction of new technology. Gaming consoles are typically launched in cycles as technological developments provide significant improvements in graphics, audio quality, game play, internet connectivity and other entertainment capabilities beyond video gaming. The current generation of consoles (the Sony PlayStation 4, the Microsoft Xbox One and the Nintendo Wii U) was introduced between November 2012 and November 2013. With the introduction of the new consoles in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, sales of new hardware have increased, which has also led to an increase in video game software and accessories sales. The mix of these sales and their differing margins will continue to impact our gross margin percentage in fiscal 2015.

We expect that future growth in the electronic 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 digitally downloadable content (“DLC”), full game downloads, and Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Plus and Nintendo network points cards, as well as prepaid digital and online timecards. We have made significant investments in e-commerce and in-store and website functionality to enable our customers to access digital content easily and facilitate 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 electronic game industry and in the digital aggregation and distribution category.

We continue to diversify our business by seeking out opportunities to extend our core competencies to other businesses and retail categories to continue to grow and to help mitigate the financial impact from the cyclical nature of the video game console cycle. In fiscal 2013, we completed our acquisitions of Simply Mac, an authorized Apple reseller currently operating in 71 stores, and Spring Mobile, an authorized AT&T reseller currently operating in 410 AT&T branded stores and 68 Cricket Wireless branded stores. We intend to continue to expand the number of our Technology Brands stores in the near future.

We accept trades of pre-owned mobile devices in most of our stores. In addition, we intend to continue to invest in customer loyalty programs designed to attract and retain our customers.

Recent Developments

Acquisition activity. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, in connection with the continued expansion of our Technology Brands segment, Spring Mobile completed acquisitions of certain AT&T resellers and Simply Mac completed an acquisition of an authorized Apple retailer for total combined consideration of $10.9 million (net of cash acquired). We recorded $1.1 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions. The pro forma effect assuming these acquisitions were made at the beginning of the prior

year presented herein is not material to our consolidated financial statements. As of May 2, 2015, we had not completed the final fair value assignments and continue to analyze certain matters related to the valuation of intangible assets. We continue to believe that our Spring Mobile and Simply Mac businesses represent important strategic growth opportunities for us within the specialty retail marketplace and also provide avenues for diversification relative to our core operations in the video game retail marketplace.

Additionally, as part of our efforts to drive long-term shareholder value, we have accomplished the following return of capital activities in fiscal 2015:

Quarterly cash dividend. On March 3, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our annual cash dividend from $1.32 to $1.44 per share of Class A Common Stock, which represents an increase of 9%. On March 24, 2015, we paid our first quarterly dividend of fiscal 2015 of $0.36 per share of Class A Common Stock to stockholders of record on March 17, 2015. Additionally, on May 26, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to our stockholders of $0.36 per share of Class A Common Stock payable on June 23, 2015 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 10, 2015. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors.

Share repurchase activity. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at an average price per share of $39.03 for a total of $46.4 million. Between May 3, 2015 and June 2, 2015, we repurchased 0.5 million shares at an average price per share of $40.01 for a total of $20.8 million, and we have $380.1 million remaining under our latest authorization from November 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited 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 do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. Preparation of these statements requires us 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 develop estimates thereon, see “Part 2 - Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We include purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than in cost of sales, in the statement of operations. We include 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.

Net Sales

Net sales increased $64.3 million, or 3.2%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in comparable store sales of 8.6% compared to the prior year period, due to strong sales performance in the current year period associated with new video game software, as well as the continued growth of the Technology Brands segment. These increases were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which had the effect of decreasing net sales by $97.6 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014.

The net increase in net sales was due to the following:


•	New video game hardware sales increased $1.7 million, or 0.4%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, due to the growth in sales of the next generation consoles.


•	New video game software sales increased $53.7 million, or 9.6%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to stronger sell-through of new titles released in the current year period as compared to the prior year.


•	Video game accessories sales increased $5.4 million, or 3.7%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, due to greater sales of accessories for use with the next generation consoles.


•	Mobile and consumer electronics sales increased $34.6 million, or 33.9%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to the acquisitions of stores and opening stores within the Technology Brands segment. Sales related to the Technology Brands segment increased $42.0 million for the current year quarter as compared to the prior year.

The increases described above were partially offset by the following:


•	Pre-owned and value video game product sales decreased $20.5 million, or 3.4%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, pre-owned and value video game product sales grew 0.8% for the current year quarter as compared to the prior year.

•

Digital sales decreased $10.1 million, or 18.0%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to a larger portion of sales recognized on a net basis compared to the prior year period, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which had the effect of decreasing net sales by $2.9 million for the current year quarter as compared to the prior year.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased $51.7 million, or 3.8%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily as a result of the increase in net sales discussed above and the changes in gross profit discussed below.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $12.6 million, or 2.0%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, and gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 31.0% in the current year compared to 31.4% in the prior year period. The gross profit dollar increase was primarily driven by the growth in the mobile and consumer electronics category related to our Technology Brands segment, which increased gross profit by $23.4 million year-over-year.

The net decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was due to the following:

•

Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game hardware decreased to 8.5% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 from 10.2% in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. The gross profit percentage decrease was driven by the mix of greater next generation console sales, which carry lower margins compared to the prior generation, combined with lower warranty sales in the current quarter as compared to the prior year period.

The decrease described above was partially offset by the following:

•

Gross profit as a percentage of sales on digital sales increased to 77.0% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 from 63.8% in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, due to strong growth of downloadable content ("DLC") in the current year quarter, which carries higher gross margins compared to other products in this category, and the recognition of higher Kongregate gross margin on a net basis in the current year.


•	Gross profit as a percentage of sales on mobile and consumer electronics revenues increased to 39.8% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 from 36.2% in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, due to the mix of sales in the Technology Brands segment, which have higher margins than other mobile and consumer electronics sales in the category.

Table of Contents


•	Gross profit as a percentage of sales on other product categories increased to 34.3% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 from 30.7% in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, due to an increase in licensed merchandise sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 0.4%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which had the effect of decreasing selling, general and administrative expenses by $27.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. This decrease was offset in part by growth of the Technology Brands segment, which carries higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales than the other segments. Technology Brands selling, general and administrative expenses increased $24.3 million in the current year compared to the prior year period. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are $10.3 million and $5.9 million in stock-based compensation expense for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.7 million, or 9.4%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in capital initiatives associated with our Video Game Brands segments.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income of $0.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, resulting from the investment of excess cash balances, was flat from $0.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. Interest expense of $5.6 million in the current year increased $4.8 million from $0.8 million in the prior year primarily due to higher borrowings, including the $350.0 million issuance of unsecured 5.50% senior notes due October 1, 2019 (the "Senior Notes") in September 2014, which is discussed more fully in Note 6, "Debt," to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $44.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of 37.7%, for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, compared to $37.3 million, representing an effective tax rate of 35.4%, for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate between the current and prior year period was primarily due to discrete items recorded in the respective periods combined with the overall mix of earnings in the various countries where we operate.

Operating Earnings and Net Income

The factors described above led to operating earnings of $123.9 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, or a 17.0% increase from operating earnings of $105.9 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. Additionally, net income was $73.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, which represented an 8.5% increase from net income of $68.0 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014.

Segment Performance

We operate our business in the following operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Video Game Brands, which consists of four segments in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, and Technology Brands. We identified these segments based on a combination of geographic areas, the methods with which we analyze performance, the way in which our sales and profits are derived and how we divide management responsibility. Our sales and profits are driven through our physical stores which are highly integrated with our e-commerce, digital and mobile businesses. Due to this integration, our physical stores are the basis for our segment reporting. Each of the Video Game Brands segments consists primarily of retail operations, with all stores engaged in the sale of new and pre-owned video game systems, software and accessories (which we refer to as video game products), new and pre-owned mobile devices and related accessories. These products are substantially the same regardless of geographic location, with the primary differences in merchandise carried being the timing of the release of new products or technologies in the various segments.

With our presence in international markets, we have operations in several foreign currencies, including the Euro, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound, Swiss franc, Danish kroner, Swedish krona, and the Norwegian kroner.

Operating earnings (loss) by operating segment, defined as income (loss) from operations before intercompany royalty fees, net interest expense and income taxes, and net sales by reportable unit in U.S. dollars were as follows (in millions):

13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 compared with the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014

Video Game Brands

United States

Segment results for Video Game Brands in the United States include retail GameStop operations in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam, the electronic commerce website www.gamestop.com, Game Informer magazine and Kongregate, our leading platform for web and mobile gaming. Net sales for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 increased $95.0 million, or 6.8%, compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to the increase in comparable store sales of 9.1%. This increase in comparable store sales was driven by the continued strength of next generation hardware sales and the stronger sell-through of new software titles released in the current year period as compared to the prior year. Operating earnings for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 increased $13.9 million, or 13.0%, compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by the current year increase in net sales and our ability to effectively leverage the increase in net sales relative to the selling, general and administrative expenses.

Canada

Segment results for Canada include retail operations in Canada and an e-commerce site. Net sales in the Canadian segment for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 decreased $0.6 million, or 0.7%, compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which had the effect of decreasing net sales by $11.8 million in the current year compared to the prior year period. Comparable store sales for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 increased 12.4%, driven by strong next generation hardware, software and accessories sales. Operating earnings for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 increased $1.3 million, or 54.2%, due to the increase in comparable store sales.

Australia

Segment results for Australia include retail operations and e-commerce sites in Australia and New Zealand. Net sales in the Australian segment for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 decreased $4.5 million, or 3.9%, compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which had the effect of decreasing net sales by $19.7 million in the current year compared to the prior year period. Comparable store sales for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 increased 11.7%, driven by strong next generation software and accessories sales. Operating earnings for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 were flat at $1.7 million, compared to the prior year period.

Table of Contents

Europe

Segment results for Europe include retail operations in 10 European countries and e-commerce operations in five countries. Net sales in the European segment for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 decreased $67.6 million, or 20.4%, compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which had the effect of decreasing net sales by $66.1 million in the current year compared to the prior year period. Comparable store sales for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 increased 3.4%, driven by strong next generation software sales. Operating earnings for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 improved $5.7 million, or 52.8%, compared to the prior year period, due to cost control efforts in the European segment.

Technology Brands

Segment results for the Technology Brands segment include our Spring Mobile managed AT&T and Cricket Wireless branded stores and our Simply Mac business. Net sales in the Technology Brands segment for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 increased $42.0 million, or 69.8%, compared to the prior year period, as a result of the continued acquisition activity and growth in store count. Operating earnings for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 decreased $2.9 million, or 48.3%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to our expansion and related investments in selling, general and administrative expenses in the current year to prepare for the growth of additional stores in the remainder of fiscal 2015. This investment in selling, general and administrative expenses will continue and is expected to negatively impact our second quarter operating earnings as well.

Seasonality

Our business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of the net sales and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter which includes the holiday selling season.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under our $400 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) together will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, our continued investments in our Technology Brands businesses, digital initiatives, store openings and remodeling activities and corporate capital allocation programs, including acquisitions, share repurchases and the payment of dividends declared by the Board of Directors, for at least the next 12 months.

As of May 2, 2015, we had total cash on hand of $369.8 million and an additional $391.7 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolver. As we continue to pursue acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic transactions to expand and grow our business, while also enhancing shareholder value through share repurchases and dividend payments, we regularly monitor capital market conditions and may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.

Cash Flows

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, cash used in operations was $128.6 million, compared to $277.2 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. The decrease in cash used in operations of $148.6 million was primarily due to a decrease in cash used in operations for working capital purposes, which decreased $140.7 million from a use of $383.7 million in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014 to a use of $243.0 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015. The decrease in cash flow used in operations for working capital was due primarily to a decrease in cash payments for income taxes and merchandise inventories during the current quarter as compared to the prior year period. Merchandise inventory payments were higher in the prior year as a result of higher inventory purchases to support the console launch in November 2013.

Cash used in investing activities was $38.2 million and $52.3 million during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, respectively. The $14.1 million decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to a decrease of $16.7 million related to fewer Technology Brands acquisitions during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 as compared to the prior year period.

Cash used in financing activities was $80.1 million and $14.8 million during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, respectively. In the prior year period, share repurchases and dividend payments were funded in part by $75.0 million in borrowings from the Revolver. In the current year period, our share repurchases and dividend payments were funded by cash flows from operations and decreased $5.1 million, compared to $86.8 million in the prior year period. There were no borrowings from the Revolver during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015.

Sources of Liquidity

We utilize cash generated from operations and have funds available to us under our Revolver to cover seasonal fluctuations in cash flows and to support our various growth initiatives. Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and consist primarily of time deposits with commercial banks.

Issuance of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2019. On September 24, 2014, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 5.50% Senior Notes due October 1, 2019. The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.50% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2015. The Senior Notes were sold in a private placement and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. The Senior Notes were offered in the U.S. to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to the exemption from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and in exempted offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The outstanding balance of the Senior Notes at May 2, 2015 was $350.0 million.

Table of Contents

defaults relating to certain other indebtedness, imposition of certain judgments and mergers or the liquidation of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, we had no borrowings or repayments under the Revolver. As of May 2, 2015, total availability under the Revolver was $391.7 million, with no outstanding borrowings and outstanding standby letters of credit of $8.3 million.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants under our indenture governing the Senior Notes and our credit agreement.

Uses of Capital

Our future capital requirements will depend upon the timing and extent of our ongoing investments in our Technology Brands businesses, our other strategic initiatives, and the number of new stores we open and the timing of those openings within a given fiscal year. We opened nine Video Game Brands stores and opened or acquired a net of 65 Technology Brands stores in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, and we are on track to open or acquire approximately 450-550 Technology Brands stores in fiscal 2015. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2015 are projected to be approximately $150-170 million, to be used primarily to fund continued growth of our Technology Brands businesses, distribution and information systems and other digital initiatives in support of our operations and new store openings and store remodels.

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015, we repurchased 1.2 million shares at an average price per share of $39.03 for a total of $46.4 million. Between May 3, 2015 and June 2, 2015, we repurchased 0.5 million shares at an average price per share of $40.01 for a total of $20.8 million, and we have $380.1 million remaining under our latest authorization from November 2014.

On March 3, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our annual cash dividend from $1.32 to $1.44 per share of Class A Common Stock, which represents an increase of 9%. On March 24, 2015, we paid our first quarterly dividend of fiscal 2015 of $0.36 per share of Class A Common Stock to stockholders of record on March 17, 2015. Additionally, on May 26, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to our stockholders of $0.36 per share of Class A Common Stock payable on June 23, 2015 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 10, 2015. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors.

On June 2, 2015, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Geeknet. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, we will commence a tender offer for all outstanding common shares of Geeknet at $20.00 per share in cash, or approximately $140 million in the aggregate. The transaction is subject to the completion of customary conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under our Revolver will be sufficient to fund our operations, our continued investments in our Technology Brands businesses, digital initiatives, store openings and remodeling activities and corporate capital allocation programs, including acquisitions, share repurchases and the payment of dividends declared by the Board of Directors, for at least the next 12 months.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." This standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. This standard will be applied retrospectively, and we do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. On April 1, 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017. The FASB has also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements as well as the appropriate method of adoption.
