NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General Information

The Company

GameStop Corp. (“GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) offers games, entertainment products and technology through its e-commerce properties and stores.

The Company operates its business in four geographic segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. The information contained in these unaudited condensed financial statements refers to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The 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 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 23, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the six months ended July 31, 2021 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 29, 2022. Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Each of our fiscal years ending January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021 consist of 52 weeks. All three- and six-month periods presented herein contain 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively. All references to years, quarters and months relate to fiscal periods rather than calendar periods. The discussion and analysis of our results of operations refers to continuing operations unless otherwise noted. Our business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of the net sales realized during the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 that we have used could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

We have made certain classifications in our consolidated statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. In our consolidated balance sheets, restricted cash of $11.0 million as of August 1, 2020 has been reclassified from prepaid expenses and other current assets to restricted cash to conform to the current year presentation. Additionally, restricted cash of $12.5 million as of August 1, 2020 has been reclassified from other noncurrent assets to long-term restricted cash to conform to the current year presentation.

In our consolidated statements of cash flows, gain on retirement of debt of $1.5 million for the six months ended August 1, 2020 was reclassified from other to loss (gain) on retirement of debt.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies included in Note 1, "Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," within the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $55.2 million, $23.5 million and $126.5 million as of July 31, 2021, August 1, 2020 and January 30, 2021, respectively, consists primarily of bank deposits that collateralize our obligations to vendors and landlords.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in millions):


	July 31, 2021		August 1, 2020		January 30, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,720.4	$	735.1	$	508.5
Restricted cash	36.7		11.0		110.0
Long-term restricted cash	18.5		12.5		16.5
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statements of cash flows	$	1,775.6	$	758.6	$	635.0

Assets Held-for-Sale

Our corporate aircraft was classified as assets held-for-sale as of May 2, 2020 and had an estimated fair value, less costs to sell, of $9.1 million. We recognized impairment charges of $0.5 million and $3.2 million on the corporate aircraft during the three and six months ended August 1, 2020, respectively, which were partially attributable to economic impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. On June 5, 2020, we sold the corporate aircraft and received net cash proceeds from the sale totaling $8.6 million, net of costs to sell. No gain or loss was recognized upon the sale in the second quarter of 2020.

Property and Equipment, Net

Accumulated depreciation related to our property and equipment totaled $1,113.7 million, $1,176.5 million and $1,117.7 million as of July 31, 2021, August 1, 2020 and January 30, 2021, respectively.

We periodically review our property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable or its depreciation or amortization periods should be accelerated. We assess recoverability based on several factors, including our intention with respect to our stores and those stores’ projected undiscounted cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value, determined based on an estimate of discounted future cash flows or readily available market information for similar assets. No impairment losses were recorded during the six months ended July 31, 2021. Impairment losses were recorded totaling $0.3 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended August 1, 2020, respectively.

At-the-Market Equity Offering

During the first quarter of 2021, we sold 3,500,000 shares of our common stock under our "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "Q1 ATM"). We generated $556.7 million in gross proceeds from sales under the Q1 ATM and paid fees to the sales agent of $5.0 million. Additionally, we incurred $0.2 million in other administrative fees in connection with the Q1 ATM, which are included in selling, general and administration expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

During the second quarter of 2021, we sold 5,000,000 shares of our common stock under our "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "Q2 ATM"). We generated $1.126 billion in gross proceeds from sales under the Q2 ATM and paid fees to the sales agent of $5.1 million. Additionally, we incurred $0.2 million in other administrative fees in connection with the Q2 ATM, which are included in selling, general and administration expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

We have used, and intend to continue to use, the $1.67 billion in aggregate net proceeds generated from sales under the Q1 ATM and Q2 ATM for working capital and general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness, funding our transformation and growth initiatives and product category expansion efforts, capital expenditures and the satisfaction of our tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock held by our executive officers and other employees.

Discontinued Operations and Dispositions

The historic results of our Spring Mobile business, sold during the fourth quarter of 2018, are presented as discontinued operations, which primarily consist of residual wind-down costs for all periods presented. The net loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended August 1, 2020 consisted of $0.4 million and $0.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and in income tax benefit, respectively. The net loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended August 1, 2020 consisted of $1.2 million and $0.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in income tax benefit, respectively. There were no discontinued operations during 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard is intended to simplify the accounting and disclosure requirements for income taxes by eliminating various exceptions in accounting for income taxes as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistency in application of ASC

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

740. The provisions of ASU 2019-12 are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard provides practical expedients for contract modifications with the transition from reference rates, such as LIBOR, that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our revolving line of credit, which uses LIBOR as a reference rate. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are effective as of March 12, 2020 and may be adopted prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-04 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

2. COVID-19 Impacts

Throughout 2020, we temporarily closed stores or limited store operations at various times across our four operating segments. During the first quarter of 2021, temporary store closures were limited to certain jurisdictions in Europe and Canada. During the second quarter of 2021, most of our stores in all jurisdictions returned to normal operations. However, with the resurgence of COVID-19 cases due to variants, we experienced some temporary closures in our Australian segment prior to the end of the second quarter of 2021. As certain of our stores experienced temporary closures during the six months ended July 31, 2021, some of our stores offered and continue to offer curbside pick-up. We remain vigilant in our compliance with COVID-19 regulations across our operating regions.

While the gaming industry has not been as severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as certain other consumer businesses, store closures during the stay-at-home orders in certain countries continue to adversely impact our results of operations during the six months ended July 31, 2021. In light of our strengthened balance sheet, we project that we will have adequate liquidity for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future to maintain normal operations.

During the second quarter of 2021, we continued to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, and long-lived assets. In addition, during the second quarter of 2021, we continued to assess the likelihood of realizing the benefits of our deferred tax assets. As a result of our assessment, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on all of our net deferred tax assets.

The COVID-19 pandemic remains an evolving situation and its future impact on all areas of our business remain unknown. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related responses of governments, customers, suppliers and other third parties may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Performance Obligations

We have arrangements with customers where our performance obligations are satisfied over time, which primarily relate to extended warranties and our Game Informer® magazine. We expect to recognize revenue in future periods for remaining performance obligations we have associated with unredeemed gift cards, trade-in credits, reservation deposits and our PowerUp Rewards loyalty program (collectively, "unredeemed customer liabilities"), extended warranties and subscriptions to our Game Informer® magazine. These performance obligations are included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Performance obligations associated with unredeemed customer liabilities are primarily satisfied at the time customers redeem gift cards, trade-in credits, customer deposits or loyalty program points for products that we offer. Unredeemed customer

liabilities are generally redeemed within one year of issuance. As of July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020, our unredeemed customer liabilities totaled $209.0 million and $213.0 million, respectively.

We offer extended warranties on certain new and pre-owned video game products with terms generally ranging from 12 to 24 months, depending on the product. Revenues for extended warranties sold are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. As of July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020, our deferred revenue liability related to extended warranties totaled $69.5 million and $50.6 million, respectively.

Performance obligations associated with subscriptions to Game Informer® magazine are satisfied when monthly magazines are delivered in print form or made available in digital format. The significant majority of customer subscriptions are for 12 monthly issues. As of July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020, we had deferred revenue of $39.6 million and $29.1 million, respectively, associated with our Game Informer® magazine.

Significant Judgments and Estimates

We accrue PowerUp Rewards loyalty points at the estimated retail price per point, net of estimated breakage, which can be redeemed by loyalty program members for products we offer. The estimated retail price per point is based on the actual historical retail prices of product(s) purchased through the redemption of loyalty points. We estimate breakage of loyalty points and unredeemed gift cards based on historical redemption rates.

Contract Balances

Our contract liabilities primarily consist of unredeemed customer liabilities and deferred revenues associated with gift cards, extended warranties and subscriptions to Game Informer® magazine. The opening balance, current period changes and ending balance of our contract liabilities are as follows (in millions):

4. Fair Value Measurements and 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. Applicable accounting standards require 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.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include our foreign currency contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value, and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities.

We value our foreign currency contracts, 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 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.

Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2021, August 1, 2020 and January 30, 2021, utilize Level 2 inputs and include the following (in millions):

We use forward exchange contracts to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans and third party accounts payable denominated in non-functional currencies. 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 balances denominated in foreign currencies. The total gross notional value of derivatives related to our foreign currency contracts was $199.0 million, $246.6 million and $206.9 million as of July 31, 2021, August 1, 2020 and January 30, 2021, respectively.

Activity related to the trading of derivative instruments and the offsetting impact of related balances denominated in foreign currencies recognized in selling, general and administrative expense is as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

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 are not required to post collateral under derivative or investment agreements.

Assets that are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis relate primarily to property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the estimated fair value is below its carrying value. For these assets, we do not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value; rather, when we determine that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its fair value.

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, we recognized impairment charges totaling $0.6 million associated with store-level ROU assets, to reflect their fair values. During the three and six months ended August 1, 2020, we recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, associated with store-level ROU and property and equipment assets to reflect their fair values. During the three and six months ended August 1, 2020, we also recognized impairment charges of $0.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, related to our corporate aircraft to reflect its fair value of $8.6 million prior to the sale of the aircraft on June 5, 2020.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

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

As of July 31, 2021, our French term loans due in 2026 had a net carrying value of $47.5 million and a fair value of $45.9 million. The fair values of our French term loans were estimated based on a model that discounted future principal and interest payments at interest rates available to us at the end of the period for similar debt of the same maturity, which is a Level 2 input as defined by the fair value hierarchy.

5. Leases

We conduct the substantial majority of our business with leased real estate properties, including retail stores, fulfillment and distribution facilities and office space. We also lease certain equipment and vehicles. These are generally leased under noncancellable agreements and include various renewal options for additional periods. These agreements generally provide for minimum, and in some cases, percentage rentals, and require us to pay insurance, taxes and other maintenance costs. Percentage rentals are based on sales performance in excess of specified minimums at various stores and are accounted for in the period in which the amount of percentage rentals can be accurately estimated. All of our lease agreements are classified as operating leases.

Rent expense under operating leases was as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2021		August 1, 2020		July 31, 2021		August 1, 2020
Operating lease cost	$	73.8	$	78.9	$	148.7	$	160.3
Variable lease cost (1)	16.2		19.2		33.7		40.1
Total rent expense	$	90.0	$	98.1	$	182.4	$	200.4

(1) Variable lease cost primarily includes percentage rentals and variable executory costs.

In July of 2020, we sold, in separate unrelated transactions, to unaffiliated third parties: i) our corporate headquarters and ancillary office space in Grapevine, Texas for $28.5 million, net of costs to sell and ii) a nearby refurbishment center for $15.2 million, net of costs to sell. The net proceeds from the sale of these assets has been used for general corporate purposes. As a result of these transactions, a gain on sale of assets of $11.3 million was recognized, which is included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in gain on sale of assets for the three and six months ended August 1, 2020.

In connection with each of these sales, we leased-back from the applicable purchasers our corporate headquarters for an initial term of ten years, and the ancillary office space and refurbishment center for two years. The leaseback agreement for the corporate headquarters contains three renewal periods of five years each; we recognized only the initial term of the lease in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability for the corporate headquarters. The other facilities do not contain a renewal option. The annual rent for the corporate headquarters commenced at $1.7 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses and increases by 2.25% per year. The annual rent for the other facilities is $1.3 million with no rent escalation, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses. These leaseback agreements are accounted for as operating leases.

With respect to the leaseback of our corporate headquarters, we agreed to provide a letter of credit to the purchasor-lessor within 18 months from the closing date to secure our lease obligation. Given that the purchase price of the corporate headquarters was reduced by $2.8 million to account for the deferred issuance of this letter of credit, as of August 1, 2020 we recognized a contract asset for the same amount within “prepaid expenses and other current assets” representing the variable consideration on the purchase price. Upon delivering the letter of credit, we will be entitled to a rent credit of an equivalent amount. This variable consideration is included in the total gain on sale of assets recognized during the second quarter of 2020.

(1) These term loans are French government subsidized low interest loans were originally due in July 2021 and October 2021 but were extended in the second quarter of 2021 for five years to 2026.

(2) Prior periods include advances under the revolving credit facility due November 2022, the French term loans originally due July 2021 and October 2021 and the 2021 Senior Notes, net of the associated unamortized debt financing costs.

2021 Debt Payments

On March 15, 2021, we repaid at maturity $73.2 million outstanding principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes.

On April 30, 2021, we completed the voluntary early redemption of $216.4 million outstanding principal amount of our 2023 Senior Notes. This voluntary early redemption covered the entire amount of then outstanding 2023 Senior Notes, which represented all of our long-term debt. In connection with the voluntary early redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes, we paid approximately $219.1 million in aggregate consideration, including accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the voluntary early redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes, we paid a $17.8 million make-whole premium which is included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we accelerated amortization of $0.4 million deferred financing costs associated with our 2023 Senior Notes.

French Term Loans

During 2020, our French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, entered into six separate unsecured term loans for a total of €40.0 million ($47.5 million as of July 31, 2021). In the second quarter of 2021, at the request of Micromania SAS, these term loans were extended for five years. In connection with the extension, the interest rate increased from 0.0% to 0.7% for three of the term loans totaling €20.0 million, and 1% for the remaining three term loans totaling €20.0 million. The French government has guaranteed 90% of the term loans pursuant to a state guaranteed loan program instituted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each of Micromania SAS's term loans, as described above, restrict the ability of Micromania SAS to make distributions and loans to its affiliates, and include various events that would result in the automatic acceleration of the loans thereunder, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, acceleration of other indebtedness, a change of control and certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events.

Revolving Credit Facility

We maintain an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a borrowing base capacity up to $420 million and a maturity date of November 2022. The Revolver also includes a $200 million expansion feature and $100 million letter of credit sublimit, and allows for an incremental $50 million first-in, last-out facility. The applicable margins for prime rate loans range from 0.25% to 0.50% and, for the London Interbank Offered ("LIBO") rate loans, range from 1.25% to 1.50%. The Revolver is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. As of July 31, 2021, the applicable margin was 0.25% for prime rate loans and 1.25% for LIBO rate loans.

The agreement governing our Revolver places certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, including, among others, limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, incurrence of additional debt and share repurchases. Additionally, the agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. The Revolver is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant if availability under the Revolver is below a certain amount (the "Availability Reduction").

Table of Contents

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of July 31, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver. During the first quarter of 2021, we repaid $25.0 million in borrowings under the Revolver. As of July 31, 2021, total availability under the Revolver after giving effect to the Availability Reduction was $100.9 million, with no outstanding borrowings and outstanding standby letters of credit of $58.2 million. We are currently in compliance with all covenants in the Revolver.

Letter of Credit Facilities

Separately from the Revolver, we maintain uncommitted letter of credit facilities with certain lenders that provide for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees, at times supported by cash collateral. As of July 31, 2021, we had $17.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under facilities outside of the Revolver.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, there were no material changes to our commitments as disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K except as discussed in Note 6, "Debt."

Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

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, stockholder 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.

8. Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share if their effect would be antidilutive. A net loss from continuing operations causes all potentially dilutive securities to be antidilutive. We have certain undistributed stock awards that participate in dividends on a non-forfeitable basis, however, their impact on earnings per share under the two-class method is negligible.

A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per common share is as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2021	August 1, 2020	July 31, 2021	August 1, 2020
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	72.6	65.0	69.3	64.7
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units	—	—	—	—
Weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding	72.6	65.0	69.3	64.7

Anti-dilutive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units	0.9	3.7	0.9	3.7

Shares of restricted stock granted by us are considered to be legally issued and outstanding as of the date of grant, notwithstanding that the shares remain subject to risk of forfeiture if the vesting conditions for such shares are not met, and are included in the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding disclosed on the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of September 1, 2021. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive an equivalent number of shares upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions therein. Weighted average common shares outstanding excludes time-based and performance-based unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units as restricted shares and restricted stock units are treated as issued and outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. As of July 31, 2021, August 1, 2020 and January 30, 2021 there were 0.9 million, 3.7 million and 4.6 million, respectively, of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of July 31, 2021, August 1, 2020 and January 30, 2021 there were 76.5 million, 68.9 million and 69.9 million, respectively, shares of Class A common stock, including unvested restricted shares, legally issued and outstanding.

9. Segment Information

We operate our business in four geographic segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe.

We identified segments based on a combination of geographic areas and management responsibility. Segment results for the United States include retail operations in 50 states and Guam; our e-commerce operations; and Game Informer® magazine. The United States segment also includes general and administrative expenses related to our corporate headquarters in Grapevine, Texas. Segment results for Canada include retail and e-commerce operations in Canada and segment results for Australia include retail and e-commerce operations in Australia and New Zealand. Segment results for Europe include retail and e-commerce operations in six countries for 2021 and ten countries for 2020. 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. Transactions between reportable segments consist primarily of royalties, management fees, intersegment loans and related interest. There were no material intersegment sales during the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020.

Segment information for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020 is as follows (in millions):

10. Income Taxes

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act (the "CARES Act"), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States, included measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. With respect to the CARES Act, we have benefited from the deferral of certain payroll taxes, the allowed carryback of a 2020 net operating loss, the modification of limitation on business interest and the technical correction with respect to qualified improvement property. As a result of the net operating loss allowed to be carried back pursuant to the CARES Act, U.S. federal income tax receivable increased to $157.8 million as of July 31, 2021 compared to $0 million as of August 1, 2020. U.S. federal income tax receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet.

Our interim tax provision is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate and adjusted for discrete taxable events and/or adjustments that may occur during the quarter and the first half of 2021.

We recognized an income tax expense of $3.1 million, or (5.3)%, for the three months ended July 31, 2021 compared to an income tax expense of $17.9 million, or (19.2)%, for the three months ended August 1, 2020. Our effective income tax rate of (5.3)% is primarily due to not recognizing tax benefits on current period losses as well as forecasted income taxes due in specific foreign and state jurisdictions within which we operate. Our effective tax rate of (19.2)% for the three months ended August 1, 2020 was primarily due to having recorded significant valuation allowance increases, partially offset by certain tax benefits related to the CARES Act, during that period.

We recognized an income tax expense of $4.4 million, or (3.5)%, for the six months ended July 31, 2021 compared to an income tax expense of $68.3 million, or (32.9)%, for the six months ended August 1, 2020. Our effective income tax rate of (3.5)% is primarily due to not recognizing tax benefits on current period losses as well as forecasted income taxes due in specific foreign and state jurisdictions within which we operate. Our effective tax rate of (32.9)% for the six months ended August 1, 2020 was primarily due to having recorded significant valuation allowance increases, partially offset by certain tax benefits related to the CARES Act, during that period.

BUSINESS PRIORITIES

GameStop has two long-term goals: delighting customers and delivering value for stockholders. We are evolving from a video game retailer to a technology company that connects customers with games, entertainment and a wide assortment of products. We are focused on offering vast product selection, competitive pricing and fast shipping – supported by high-touch customer service and a frictionless ecommerce and in-store experience.

We are taking steps that include:

•Increasing the size of our addressable market by growing our product catalog across consumer electronics, collectibles, toys and other categories that represent natural extensions of our business;

•Expanding fulfillment operations to improve speed of delivery and service to our customers;

•Building a superior customer experience, including by establishing a U.S.-based customer care operation, and;

•Strengthening technology capabilities, including by investing in new systems, modernized ecommerce assets and an expanded, experienced talent base.

The Company will continue to invest in growth initiatives, while continuing to prioritize maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Connected to our transformation efforts, we have incurred and may continue to incur severance, store closure costs and expenses for consultants and advisors. See "Consolidated Results from Operations—Selling, General and Administrative Expenses" for further information.
