Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies, “GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the world’s largest multichannel video game retailer. The Company sells new and usedpre-owned video game hardware, physical and digital video game software, accessories, as well as PC entertainment software, new and pre-owned mobile and consumer electronics products and other merchandise. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the 5253 weeks ended January 28, 2012February 2, 2013 (“fiscal 2011”2012”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used by management could have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of operations for the 2613 weeks ended July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 5352 weeks ending February 2, 20131, 2014 (“fiscal 2012”2013”).

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current interim period presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we adopted the accounting standard update regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. ThisIn March 2013, an accounting standard update was issued providing guidance with respect to increase the prominencerelease of items reportedcumulative translation adjustments into net income when a parent company sells either a part or all of an investment in other comprehensive income.a foreign entity. The accounting standard update requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented eitherthe release of cumulative translation adjustments when a company no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a single continuous statementforeign subsidiary or a group of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements. In connectionassets that constitutes a business within a foreign entity. This accounting standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the adoptioneffect of this accounting standard update, ourbut does not expect it to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements now include separate statements of comprehensive income.statements.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we adopted the accounting standard update regarding fair value measurement and disclosure. ThisIn February 2013, an accounting standard update was issued regarding disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This accounting standard update also changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this accounting standard update did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.additional detail

about those amounts. This accounting standard update is effective for the Company’s annual and interim periods beginning in fiscal 2013. The accounting standard update had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, an accounting standard update was issued related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The purpose of the update is to simplify the guidance for testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment and the update permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. Unless an entity determines, through its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, it would not be required to calculate the fair value of the asset. This standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted. This standard did not have an impact on our annual indefinite-lived asset impairment testing process in fiscal 2012 as we did not elect to perform a qualitative assessment. The adoption of this guidance may result in a change in how we perform our goodwill impairment assessment; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

For stock options granted, the Company records share-based compensation expense in earnings based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected option life, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected employee forfeiture rate. The Company uses historical data to estimate the option life, dividend yield and the employee forfeiture rate, and uses historical volatility when estimating the stock price volatility. There were no stock options granted during the 2613 weeks ended JulyApril 28, 20122012. During the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013, 457 thousand options of Class A Common Stock were granted with a fair value of $7.10 per common share, using the following assumptions:

In the 13 weeks ended JulyMay 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, the Company included compensation expense relating to stock option grants of $0.7$0.2 million and $1.6$0.7 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, the Company included compensation expense relating to stock option grants of $1.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of our stock options was $1.4$3.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.62.8 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 13 weeks ended JulyMay 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011 was $0.7$10.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011 was $1.1 million and $10.0$0.4 million, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Recurring Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Financial Instruments

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

Fair value accounting guidance requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.

We value our Foreign Currency Contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, and industry-standard

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.

The Company uses Foreign Currency Contracts to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These Foreign Currency Contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the re-measurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records 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. The Company did not record any significant impairment charges related to assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the 2613 weeks ended JulyMay 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011.2012.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The Company’s carrying value of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net and accounts payable approximates their fair value except for differences with respectdue to the Company’s senior notes that were outstanding until December 2011. The fair value of the senior notes payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 30, 2011 was estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those instruments. As of July 28, 2012, there were no senior notes outstanding. As of July 30, 2011, the senior notes payable had a carrying value of $249.3 million and a fair value of $252.8 million.

Restructuring Initiative

During fiscal 2011, the Company announced a restructuring initiative related to the exit of certain markets in Europe and the closure of under-performing stores in the international segments, as well as the consolidation of European home office sites and back-office functions affecting our northern Europe and Spain operations. These restructuring charges were a result of management’s plan to rationalize the international store base and improve profitability.their short maturities.

Debt

On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million credit agreement (the “Revolver”), which amended and restated, in its entirety, the Company’s prior credit agreement entered into in October 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Revolver provides for a five-year, $400 million asset-based facility, including a $50 million letter of credit sublimit, secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets. The Company has the ability to increase the facility, which matures in January 2016, by $150 million under certain circumstances. The extension of the Revolver to 2016 reduces our exposure to potential tightening or other adverse changes in the credit markets.

The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 90% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow by their face value. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally permitted, except under certain circumstances, including if Revolver excess availability is less than 20%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment. In addition, if Revolver usage is projected to be equal to or greater than 25% of the borrowing basetotal commitments during the prospective 12-month period, the Company is subject to meeting a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1:1.0 prior to making such payments. In the event that excess availability under the Revolver is at any time less than the greater of (1) $40.0 million or (2) 12.5% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.1:1.0.

The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, loans, guarantees, acquisitions and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Absent consent from its lenders, the Company may not incur more than $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 1.25% to 1.50% above the highest of (a) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% 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 2.25% to 2.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Company’s average daily excess availability under the facility. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% or 0.50%, depending on facility usage, for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, the applicable margin was 1.25% for prime rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO rate loans, while the required commitment fee was 0.50% for the unused portion of the Revolver.

The Revolver provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, any material representation or warranty made by the Company or the borrowers proving to be false in any material respect, certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company or its subsidiaries, defaults relating to certain other indebtedness, imposition of certain judgments and mergers or the liquidation of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries. During the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, the Company borrowed and repaid $36.0 million under the Revolver. During the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011, the Company borrowed $35.0 million from the Revolver and repaid $25.0 million, leaving an outstanding balance of $10.0 million as of July 30, 2011. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, total availability under the Revolver was $320.0$340.2 million, there were no borrowings outstanding and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8.9$9.0 million.

In September 2007, the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20.0 million Uncommitted Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit”) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit is available to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short-term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, there were no cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $4.3$4.8 million.

In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”) and $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes” and, together with the Senior Floating Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated September 28, 2005, by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as trustee. In November 2006, Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new Trustee for the Notes (the “Trustee”).

The Senior Notes bore interest at 8.0% per annum, were to mature on October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a discount at the time of issue of $8.5 million. The discount was amortized using the effective interest method. The Issuers paid interest on the Senior Notes semi-annually, in arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15. Between May 2006 and December 2011, the Company repurchased and redeemed the $300 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes and the $650 million of Senior Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. The repurchased Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. None of the debt was retired or redeemed during the 26-week period ended July 30, 2011. As of July 30, 2011, the only long-term debt outstanding was the $250 million in Senior Notes, gross of the unamortized original issue discount of $0.7 million. As of January 28, 2012, the Senior Notes had been fully redeemed.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently examining the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the fiscal years ended on January 28, 2012, January 29, 2011, January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009, February 2, 2008 and February 3, 2007. The Company does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these audits. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by the IRS for years before and including the fiscal year ended January 28, 2006.

We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. There were no net material adjustments to our recorded liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions could significantly increase or decrease during the next 12 months. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

The income tax provisions for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013 and 26 weeks ended JulyApril 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011 are based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.

Commitments and Contingencies

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

On August 14, 2012,May 21, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a quarterly cash dividend to its stockholders of $0.25$0.275 per share of Class A Common Stock payable on September 12, 2012June 19, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 28, 2012.June 4, 2013. Future dividends will be subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Share Repurchase

As of August 28, 2012,June 4, 2013, the Company has purchased an additional 1.11.4 million shares of its Class A Common Stock for an average price per share of $15.87$34.73 since July 28, 2012.

Interim Goodwill Impairment Test

Under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350 (“ASC 350”), the Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the beginning of the fourth quarter each fiscal year. The Company has determined that the recent decrease in its market capitalization below the total equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for a sustained period of time indicated that an interim impairment test of its goodwill was required under the provisions of ASC 350. Accordingly, the Company has begun the work to perform the interim impairment test of its goodwill and expects to complete the test by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

To perform step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, the Company must estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. Because quoted market prices for the Company’s reporting units are not available, the Company must exercise judgment in determining the estimated fair value of each reporting unit. The Company uses all available information to make these fair value determinations, including the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved in the assets. A key component of these fair value determinations is a reconciliation of the sum of these net present value calculations to the Company’s market capitalization. Given that the Company’s market capitalization as of the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was approximately $780 million below its stockholders’ equity and the balance of the Company’s goodwill recorded on its consolidated balance sheet as of July 28, 2012 is $1,981.8 million (comprised of goodwill of $1,153.5 million, $137.2 million, $206.5 million and $484.6 million in its United States, Canada, Australia and Europe reporting units, respectively), any impairment charge resulting from performing step two of the impairment test would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Given the amount of the excess of calculated fair value over carrying value for each reporting unit as of the fiscal 2011 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company believes that any impairment charge resulting from the goodwill impairment test would be substantially concentrated in its Canada, Australia and Europe reporting units.May 4, 2013.

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 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.

We sell new and usedpre-owned video game hardware, physical and digital video game software, accessories, as well as PC entertainment software, new and pre-owned mobile and consumer electronics products and other merchandise primarily through our GameStop, EB Games and Micromania stores. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, we operated 6,6286,544 stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe. We also operate electronic commerce Web siteswww.gamestop.com,www.ebgames.com.au,www.ebgames.co.nz,www.gamestop.ca,www.gamestop.it,www.gamestop.es,www.gamestop.ie,www.gamestop.de,www.gamestop.co.uk andwww.micromania.fr.

Our fiscal year is composed of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The fiscal year ending February 2, 20131, 2014 (“fiscal 2012”2013”) consists of 5352 weeks and the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012February 2, 2013 (“fiscal 2011”2012”) consistsconsisted of 5253 weeks.

Growth in the videoelectronic game industry is generally driven by the introduction of new technology. Gaming consoles are typically launched in cycles as technological developments in both chip processing speeds and data storage provide significant improvements in advanced graphics, audio quality and other entertainment capabilities beyond video gaming. The current generation of hardware consoles (the Sony PlayStation 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii) were introduced between 2005 and 2007. The Nintendo DSi XL was introduced in early 2010, the Nintendo 3DS was introduced in March 2011 and the Sony PlayStation Vita was introduced in February 2012. A new console cycle is developing as Nintendo launched the Wii U in November 2012 as the next generation of the Wii. Also, Sony and Microsoft have announced that the next generation of the PlayStation and Xbox, respectively, are expected to come to market by the holiday period of 2013. Typically, following the introduction of new video game platforms, sales of new video game hardware increase as a percentage of total sales in the first full year following introduction. As video game platforms mature, the sales mix attributable to complementary video game software and accessories, which generate higher gross margins, generally increases in the subsequent years. The net effect is generally a decline in gross marginsmargin percentage in the first full year following new platform releases and an increase in gross marginsmargin percentage in the years subsequent to the first full year following the launch period. The planned launches of the next-generation Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox by the holiday period of 2013 will negatively impact our overall gross margin percentage in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Unit sales of maturing video game platforms are typically also driven by manufacturer-funded retail price reductions, further driving sales of related software and accessories. Historically, new hardware consoles are typically introduced every four to five years. However, the current generation of hardware consoles is now over fivesix years old and consumer demand is abating.declining. We have seen and expect to continue to see declines in new hardware and software sales in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 before the next-generation product launches due to the age of the current console cycle. The introduction of new consoles, like the Wii U, or further price cuts on the current generation of consoles could partially offset these declines.

We expect that future growth in the videoelectronic 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, Xbox LIVE, PlayStation and Nintendo network pointpoints cards, as well as prepaid digital and online timecards. We expect our sales of digital products to increase in fiscal 2012.2013. We have made significant investments in e-commerce digital kiosks and in-store and Web site functionality to enable our customers to access digital content easily and eliminate friction infacilitate 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 videoelectronic game industry and in the digital aggregation and distribution category. In fiscal 2011, we also launched our mobile business and began selling an assortment of gaming-certifiedtablets and accessories. We currently sell tablets and accessories in approximately 1,600all of our stores in the United States and approximately 800in a majority of stores in our international stores.markets. We also began acceptingsell and accept trades of pre-owned mobile devices in all of our United States stores, and, as of July 28, 2012, approximately 3,800 stores are selling these refurbished devices. More stores will be added as inventory levels increase. We alsostores. In addition, we intend to continue to invest in customer loyalty programs designed to attract and retain customers.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our 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 management to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies and the means by which we develop estimates thereon, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K.

Goodwill.Under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350 (“ASC 350”), the Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the beginning of the fourth quarter each fiscal year. The Company has determined that the recent decrease in its market capitalization below the total equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for a sustained period of time indicated that an interim impairment test of its goodwill was required under the provisions of ASC 350. Accordingly, the Company has begun the work to perform the interim impairment test of its goodwill and expects to complete the test by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

To perform step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, the Company must estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. Because quoted market prices for the Company’s reporting units are not available, the Company must exercise judgment in determining the estimated fair value of each reporting unit. The Company uses all available information to make these fair value determinations, including the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved in the assets. A key component of these fair value determinations is a reconciliation of the sum of these net present value calculations to the Company’s market capitalization. Given that the Company’s market capitalization as of the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was approximately $780 million below its stockholders’ equity and the balance of the Company’s goodwill recorded on its consolidated balance sheet as of July 28, 2012 is $1,981.8 million (comprised of goodwill of $1,153.5 million, $137.2 million, $206.5 million and $484.6 million in its United States, Canada, Australia and Europe reporting units, respectively), any impairment charge resulting from performing step two of the impairment test would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Given the amount of the excess of calculated fair value over carrying value for each reporting unit as of the fiscal 2011 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company believes that any impairment charge resulting from the goodwill impairment test would be substantially concentrated in its Canada, Australia and Europe reporting units.

The Company includes purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than in cost of sales, in the statement of operations. The Company includes processing fees

associated with purchases made by check and credit cards in cost of sales, rather than in 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 net sales has not historically been material.

Net sales decreased by $193.5$136.9 million, or 11.1%6.8%, from $1,743.7$2,002.2 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $1,550.2$1,865.3 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to a decrease in comparable store sales of 9.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 20126.7% and changes related to foreign exchange rates, which had the effect of decreasing net sales by $50.6$6.1 million when compared to the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2011. Stores are included in our comparable store sales base beginning in the thirteenth month of operation and exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.2012. The decrease in comparable store sales was primarily attributabledue to decreasesa decrease in new video game hardware sales, pre-owned video game product sales and new video game software sales and used video game product sales offset partially by an increase in other product sales. Refer to the note to the Selected Financial Data table in “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” in our Form 10-K for a discussion of the calculation of comparable store sales.

New video game hardware sales decreased $92.3$106.8 million, or 33.5%30.6%, from $275.6$348.6 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $183.3$241.8 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. The decrease in new video game hardware sales is primarily due to a decrease in hardware unit sell-through related to being in the late stages of the current console cycle.cycle and higher sales of the Sony PlayStation Vita in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 due to its launch during that quarter. These sales declines were offset partially by sales of the Nintendo Wii U which launched in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. New video game software sales decreased $126.0$27.9 million, or 21.0%3.8%, from $599.8$731.1 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $473.8$703.2 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013 primarily due to a lackdeclines in sales of catalog software due to the late stages of the console cycle, partially offset by stronger sales of new release video game titles in the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 20122013 when compared to the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2011.

Pre-owned video game product sales decreased by $70.8$46.4 million, or 11.2%7.5%, from $633.1$619.0 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $562.3$572.6 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. The decrease in usedpre-owned video game product sales was primarily due to a decrease in store traffic related to the lack of new releaselower video game titles in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and lower hardware demand due to the late stages of the current console cycle. Other product sales increased $95.6by $44.2 million, or 40.6%14.6%, from $303.5 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $347.7 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. The increase in other product sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of PC entertainment software due primarily to the release ofDiablo III in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and increases in sales of mobile devices and digital products, offset partially by a decrease in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.accessories sales associated with hardware sales declines.

As a percentage of net sales, new video game hardware sales and pre-owned video game product sales decreased and new video game software sales decreased and other product sales increased in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 compared to the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011.April 28, 2012. The change in the mix of sales was primarily due primarily to the decreases in new video game hardware sales and pre-owned video game product sales and the increase in other product sales as a result of the investments the Company has made in its digital initiatives and the expansion of the mobile sales category. These new initiatives have shown significant growth while sales of new video game hardware and new video game software have decreased due to fewer new software title launches and lower hardware sales due to the late stages of the console cycle.discussed above.

Cost of sales decreased by $169.6$115.3 million, or 14.1%8.2%, from $1,200.5$1,402.3 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $1,030.9$1,287.0 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 as a result of athe decrease in sales discussed above and the changes in gross profit discussed below.

Gross profit decreased by $23.9$21.6 million, or 4.4%3.6%, from $543.2$599.9 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $519.3$578.3 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013.

New PC entertainment software has a lower gross profit percentage than total other product sales.May 4, 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightlyincreased by $1.6$8.8 million, or 0.4%2.0%, from $442.5$440.4 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $440.9$449.2 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. This decreaseincrease was primarily attributabledue to the timing of promotional costs and other expenses offset partially by changes in foreign exchange rates which had the effect of decreasing expenses by $16.9$1.8 million when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 25.4%22.0% in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011first quarter of fiscal 2012 to 28.4%24.1% in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.first quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to deleveraging of fixed costs as a result of the decrease in comparable store sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.sales. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are $5.4is $5.5 million and $4.9$5.0 million in stock-based compensation expense for the 13-week periods ended JulyMay 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.2$2.6 million from $47.1$44.5 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $43.9$41.9 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures in recent years when compared to prior years which included significant investments in our loyalty and digital initiatives, as well as a decrease in new store openings and investments in management information systems.

Interest income from the investment of excess cash balances decreased $0.2 millionslightly from $0.4 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $0.2 million in the 13 weeks ended JulyApril 28, 2012. Interest expense decreased $5.6 million from $6.72012 to $0.1 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $1.1May 4, 2013. Interest expense increased slightly from $0.6 million in the 13 weeks ended JulyApril 28, 2012 primarily due to $1.0 million in the retirement of the Company’s senior notes in fiscal 2011.13 weeks ended May 4, 2013.

Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 and the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 was based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $12.6$31.7 million, or 37.5%36.7% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 compared to $16.7$42.2 million, or 35.3%36.8% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011. The increase in the income tax rate was due primarily to differences in the expected sources of the Company’s earnings used in estimating the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.April 28, 2012.

The factors described above led to a decrease in operating earnings of $19.1$27.8 million, or 24.2%, from $53.6$115.0 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $34.5$87.2 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, and a decrease in consolidated net income of $9.6$17.8 million, or 24.6%, from $30.6$72.4 million in the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $21.0$54.6 million in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013.

The $0.3$0.1 million net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2011first quarter of fiscal 2012 represents the portion of the minority interest stockholders’ net loss of the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries included in the Company’s consolidated net income. The remaining noncontrolling interests were purchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 compared with the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011

Net sales decreased by $472.7 million, or 11.7%, from $4,025.1 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $3,552.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to a decrease in comparable store sales of 11.1% for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 when compared to the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 and changes related to foreign exchange rates, which had the effect of decreasing sales by $70.1 million, offset partially by the addition of non-comparable store sales from the 363 stores opened since January 29, 2011. The decrease in comparable store sales was primarily attributable to decreases in new video game hardware sales, new video game software sales and used video game product sales, offset partially by an increase in other product sales.

New video game hardware sales decreased $176.2 million, or 24.9%, from $708.0 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $531.8 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The decrease in new video game hardware sales is primarily due to a decrease in hardware unit sell-through related to being in the late stages of the current console cycle and sales from the launch of the Nintendo 3DS in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 which exceeded the sales from the launch of the Sony PlayStation Vita in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. New video game software sales decreased $309.6 million, or 20.4%, from $1,514.5 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $1,204.9 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, primarily due to a lack of new release video game titles in fiscal 2012 when compared to fiscal 2011. Used video game product sales decreased $76.7 million, or 6.1%, from $1,258.1 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $1,181.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The decrease in used video game product sales was primarily due to a decrease in store traffic related to the lack of new release video game titles in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 when compared to the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 and lower hardware demand due to the late stages of the current console cycle. Other product sales increased by $89.8 million, or 16.5%, from $544.5 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $634.3 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The increase in other product sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of PC entertainment software due primarily to the release ofDiablo III in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and increases in sales of mobile devices and digital products in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 when compared to the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011.

As a percentage of net sales, new video game hardware sales and new video game software sales decreased and used video game product sales and other product sales increased in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 compared to the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011. The change in the mix of sales was due primarily to the increase in other product sales as a result of the investments the Company has made in its digital initiatives and the expansion of the mobile sales category. These new initiatives have shown significant growth while sales of new video game hardware and new video game software have decreased due to fewer new software title launches and lower hardware sales due to the late stages of the console cycle.

Cost of sales decreased by $428.5 million, or 15.0%, from $2,861.7 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $2,433.2 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, primarily as a result of the decrease in sales and the changes in gross profit discussed below.

Gross profit decreased by $44.2 million, or 3.8%, from $1,163.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $1,119.2 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased from 28.9% in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to 31.5% in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The gross profit percentage increase was primarily due to the increase in sales of used video game products and other products as a percentage of total sales and the increase in gross profit percentage on new video game software sales and used video game product sales in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 compared to the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game hardware increased slightly from 7.2% in the 26 weeks

ended July 30, 2011 to 7.4% in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game software increased from 20.3% in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to 21.4% in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, due primarily to a decrease in promotional activities compared to the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on used video game products increased from 47.1% in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to 48.6% in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 due to a decrease in promotional activities and improvements in margin rates throughout most of our international operations when compared to the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on the other product sales category remained flat at 39.2% in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 and July 28, 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3.9 million, or 0.4%, from $885.2 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $881.3 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the changes in foreign exchange rates which had the effect of decreasing expenses by $23.2 million when compared to fiscal 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 22.0% in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to 24.8% in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to deleveraging of fixed costs as a result of the decrease in comparable store sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses include $10.4 million and $9.8 million in stock-based compensation expense for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $5.0 million from $93.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $88.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures in recent years when compared to prior years, which included significant investments in our loyalty and digital initiatives, as well as a decrease in new store openings and investments in management information systems.

Interest income decreased from $0.5 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $0.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Interest expense decreased from $13.0 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $1.7 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, primarily due to the retirement of the Company’s senior notes in fiscal 2011.

Income tax expense for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 and the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 was based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $54.8 million, or 37.0% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 compared to $61.8 million, or 35.9% of earnings before income tax expense, for the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011. The increase in the income tax rate was due primarily to differences in the expected sources of the Company’s earnings used in estimating the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.

The factors described above led to a decrease in operating earnings of $35.3 million from $184.8 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $149.5 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, and a decrease in consolidated net income of $17.1 million from $110.5 million in the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2011 to $93.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012.

The $0.1 million and $0.8 million net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively, represents the portion of the minority interest stockholders’ net loss of the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries included in the Company’s consolidated net income. The remaining noncontrolling interests were purchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

During the 2613 weeks ended July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, cash used in operations was $173.8$331.4 million compared to cash used in operations of $225.7$162.2 million during the 2613 weeks ended July 30, 2011.April 28, 2012. The decreaseincrease in cash used in operations of $51.9$169.2 million was primarily due to an $88.4 million decrease related to working capital, offset partially by a $28.6 million decreaseincrease in net income adjusted for noncash items and a $7.9 million decrease in cash flows related to the changes in payments of other long-term liabilities. Cash used in operations related tofor working capital decreased $88.4which increased $144.8 million from $447.7$280.6 million in the 2613 weeks ended July 30, 2011April 28, 2012 to $359.3$425.4 million in the 2613 weeks ended July 28, 2012May 4, 2013. The increase in cash used in operations for working capital was due primarily to changesthe change in cash related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the change in the payment of income taxes and changes in inventory and related accounts payable from year to year. The decrease in cash related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013 compared to the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2012 was primarily due to changes in the timing of trade payable payments. Our business is highly seasonal, with a

disproportionate amount of sales occurring in the fourth quarter of each year. We purchase inventory in anticipation of these fourth quarter sales and, as a result, have higher accounts payable at year-end compared to the end of the secondfirst quarter. During the first 26 weeksquarter of each fiscal year, we have traditionally had a significant use of cash associated with the pay down of accounts payables from year-end. In addition, the leveraging of inventory and accounts payable from year end.is impacted by the amount of purchases during each quarter. Due to the late stages of the current console cycle, we have decreased purchases and our inventory mix is shifting towards more used products, including used mobile products. These factors also negatively impacted our accounts payable leverage during the quarter. In addition, the increase in cash used in operations was also attributed to a $24.4 million decrease in net income adjusted for noncash items.

The cash used in financing activities for the 2613 weeks ended JulyMay 4, 2013 was primarily due to the payment of dividends on the Company’s Class A Common Stock of $33.0 million and the repurchase of $25.5 million of treasury shares, offset partially by the cash received from the issuance of shares associated with stock option exercises of $25.7 million.

Sources of Liquidity

We utilize cash generated from operations and have funds available to us under our revolving credit facility to cover seasonal fluctuations in cash flows and to support our various growth initiatives. Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and consist primarily of time deposits with highly rated commercial banks and money market investment funds holding direct U.S. Treasury obligations.banks.

On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into a $400 million credit agreement (the “Revolver”), which amended and restated, in its entirety, the Company’s prior credit agreement entered into in October 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Revolver provides for a five-year, $400 million asset-based facility, including a $50 million letter of credit sublimit, secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets. The Company has the ability to increase the facility, which matures in January 2016, by $150 million under certain circumstances. The extension of the Revolver to 2016 reduces our exposure to potential tightening or other adverse changes in the credit markets.

The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 90% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow by their face value. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally permitted, except under certain circumstances, including if Revolver excess availability is less than 20%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment. In addition, if Revolver usage is projected to be equal to or greater than 25% of the borrowing basetotal commitments during the prospective 12-month period, the Company is subject to meeting a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1:1.0 prior to making such payments. In the event that excess availability under the Revolver is at any time less than the greater of (1) $40.0 million or (2) 12.5% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.1:1.0.

The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, loans, guarantees, acquisitions and the incurrence of additional

indebtedness. Absent consent from its lenders, the Company may not incur more than $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 1.25% to 1.50% above the highest of (a) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% 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 2.25% to 2.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Company’s average daily excess availability under the facility. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% or 0.50%, depending on facility usage, for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, the applicable margin was 1.25% for prime rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO rate loans, while the required commitment fee was 0.50% for the unused portion of the Revolver.

The Revolver provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, any material representation or warranty made by the Company or the borrowers proving to be false in any material respect, certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company or its subsidiaries, defaults relating to certain other indebtedness, imposition of certain judgments and mergers or the liquidation of the Company or certain of its

subsidiaries. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, total availability under the Revolver was $320.0$340.2 million, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding totaled $8.9$9.0 million.

In September 2007, the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20.0 million Uncommitted Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit”) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit is available to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short-term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, there were no cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $4.3 million.

In September 2005, the Company, along with GameStop, Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the “Issuers”), completed the offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Floating Rate Notes”) and $650 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes” and, together with the Senior Floating Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated September 28, 2005, by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as trustee. In November 2006, Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new Trustee for the Notes (the “Trustee”).

The Senior Notes bore interest at 8.0% per annum, were to mature on October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a discount at the time of issue of $8.5 million. The discount was amortized using the effective interest method. The Issuers paid interest on the Senior Notes semi-annually, in arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15. As of January 28, 2012, the Senior Notes had been fully redeemed. As of July 30, 2011, the only long-term debt outstanding was the Senior Notes, gross of the unamortized original issue discount of $0.7$4.8 million.

Uses of Capital

Our future capital requirements will depend on the number of new stores openedwe open and the timing of those openings within a given fiscal year, as well as the investments we will make in e-commerce, digital and other strategic initiatives. The Company opened 7859 stores in the 2613 weeks ended July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 and expects to open approximately 150125 stores in fiscal 2012.2013, including the 44 stores acquired in France during the first quarter. Capital expenditures for fiscal 20122013 are projected to be approximately $140$135 million, to be used primarily to fund continued digital initiatives, new store openings, store remodels and invest in distribution and information systems in support of operations.

Between May 2006 and December 2011, the Company repurchased and redeemed the $300 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes and the $650 million of Senior Notes under previously announced buybacks authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. The repurchased Notes were delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. None of the debt was retired or redeemed during the 26-week period ended July 30, 2011.

At the beginning of fiscal 2011, $22.0 million of treasury share purchases made during fiscalSince 2010, were settled. In February 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company has from time to time authorized the Companyrepurchase of our common stock. Our current authorization, made in November 2012, allows us to userepurchase up to $500 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock and/or retire the Company’s Senior Notes. Under the repurchase program, the Company could purchase the Company’s Senior Notes and/or shares of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock through open market purchases, debt calls or privately negotiated transactions.shares. During the 2613 weeks ended July 30, 2011,May 4, 2013, the Company repurchased 7.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an average purchase price of $20.91. For the remainder of fiscal 2011, the Company purchased an additional 3.9 million shares at an average price per share of $22.24.

In November 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to use $500 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock and/or retire the Company’s Senior Notes, replacing the remaining $180.1 million authorization. On March 20, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to use $500 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, replacing the remaining $253.4 million of the November 2011 authorization. During the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, the Company repurchased 12.9 million shares at an average price per share of $19.92. As of July 28, 2012, $318.4 million remained available under the current authorization. As of August 28, 2012, the Company has purchased an additional 1.11.0 million shares for an average price per share of $15.87$25.07, leaving $399.8 million available under the November 2012 authorization. As of June 4, 2013, the Company has purchased an additional 1.4 million shares of its Class A Common Stock for an average price per share of $34.73 since July 28, 2012.May 4, 2013, leaving $349.8 million available under this authorization. The amounts, timing and prices of share repurchases that are effected under the Company’s share repurchase programs, pursuant to such authorizations, are directed by the Company’s senior management.

On February 8, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend to its stockholders of Class A Common Stock. The first quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share was paid on March 12, 2012 to all common stockholders of record as of February 21, 2012. The secondfirst quarter fiscal 2013 quarterly cash dividend of $0.15$0.275 per share was paid on June 12, 2012 to all common stockholders of record as ofMarch 19, 2013. On May 29, 2012. On August 14, 2012,21, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a quarterly cash dividend to its stockholders of $0.25$0.275 per share of Class A common shareCommon Stock payable on September 12, 2012June 19, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 28, 2012.June 4, 2013. Future dividends will be subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.

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

An entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.

In July 2012, an accounting standard update was issued related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The purpose of the update is to simplify the guidance for testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment and the update permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. Unless an entity determines, through its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, it would not be required to calculate the fair value measurement principlesof the asset. This standard is effective for annual and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements.interim impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted.

general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, and specifically, economic conditions affecting Europe, the electronic game industry and the retail industry;

the launch of next generation consoles and the timing and features of such consoles;

 

alternate sources of distribution of video game software and content;

 

alternate means to play video games;

 

the competitive environment in the electronic game industry;

 

the growth of mobile, social and browser gaming;

 

the results of the Company’s asset impairment analysis;

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “pro forma,” “should,“seeks,“seeks,“should,” “will” or similar expressions. These statements are only predictions based on current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this Form 10-Q. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances contained in this Form 10-Q may not occur, causing actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Exposure

We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. We limit our interest rate risks by investing our excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments with a maturity of one year or less. We do not expect any material losses from our invested cash balances, and we believe that our interest rate exposure is modest.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company uses forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps (together, the “Foreign Currency Contracts”) to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Foreign Currency Contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the re-measurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities. For the 13 and 26 week periodsfiscal quarter ended July 28, 2012,May 4, 2013, the Company recognized gains of $18.7a $9.4 million and $16.9 million, respectively,gain in selling, general and administrative expenses related to the trading of derivative instruments. These gains were partially offset by $8.8 million of losses related toon the re-measurement of related intercompany currency loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities of $20.5 million and $18.0 million, respectively.for the fiscal quarter ended May 4, 2013. The aggregate fair value of the Foreign Currency Contracts as of July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 was a net asset of $31.4$4.1 million as measured by observable inputs obtained from market news reporting services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall

Street Journal, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. A hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign exchange rates underlying the Foreign Currency Contracts from the market rate as of July 28, 2012May 4, 2013 would result in a (loss) or gain in value of the forwards, options and swaps of ($8.9)10.0) million or $8.9$10.0 million, respectively.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments and cash equivalent investments. The Company manages counterparty risk according to the guidelines and controls established under comprehensive risk management and investment policies. We continuously monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize a number of different counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under derivative or investment agreements.

 

ITEM 4.Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the reasonable assurance level. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.Legal Proceedings

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

 

ITEM 1A.RiskFactors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012February 2, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012.April 3, 2013. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and

results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K have not changed materially however, theyother than as set forth below:

The launch of next-generation consoles could negatively impact the demand for existing products or our pre-owned business.

The launch of next-generation consoles, the timing of the release and the features of such consoles, including any restrictions or conditions that may adversely affect our pre-owned business or the ability to play prior generation video games on such consoles, and the impact on demand for existing products following the announcement of the launch of next-generation consoles could have a negative impact on our sales and earnings.

These are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.
