Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2017-04, Intangibles—GoodwillASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was further updated and Other, Simplifyingclarified by the TestFASB through the issuance of additional related ASUs. This ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount to be collected with the recognition of an allowance for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies howcredit losses expected to be incurred over an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill and the carrying amount. Instead, entities will record an impairment chargeasset's lifetime based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. We early adopted this updated standard, effective January 29, 2017, which did not have an impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In October 2016, the FASB issuedrelevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory, which eliminates the exception to defer the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers (intercompany sales). Prior to this update, the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers were deferred until the transferred asset was sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use, which was an exception to the general requirement for comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes. We early adopted this updated standard, effective January 29, 2017, and as a result we recognize tax expense or benefit from intercompany sales of assets other than inventory in the period in which the transaction occurs.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. The amendments of the updated standard include, among other things, the requirement to recognize excess tax benefits and deficiencies through earnings and present the related cash flows in operating activities in the statement of cash flows, the election of a policy to either estimate forfeitures when determining periodic expense or recognize actual forfeitures when they occur, and an increase in the allowable income tax withholding from the minimum to maximum statutory rate and its classification in the statement of cash flows. As a result of the adoption of this updated standard, effective January 29, 2017, excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recognized in our results of operations and are presented in cash flows from operating activities in our statement of cash flows on a prospective basis. In addition, we elected to recognize actual forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. The adoption of this updated standard did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

2. COVID-19 Impacts
The near-term macroeconomic conditions continue to depictbe adversely impacted by the transferemergence of promised goods or servicesa novel coronavirus, identified as COVID-19, which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. In efforts to mitigate the continued spread of the virus, numerous governments in geographies where the Company operates have imposed quarantines, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions and other similar measures in attempts to limit physical human interaction, often referred to as social distancing. To comply with these measures, the Company temporarily closed stores in Europe, Canada and New Zealand. In the United States, all storefronts were temporarily closed to customers, however, the Company continued to process orders by offering curbside pick-up, ship from store and e-commerce delivery options in an amount that reflects what it expectsmany of its stores. These temporary store closures began in exchange forlate March 2020 and by the goods or services. The updated standard also required additional disclosures on the nature, timing, and uncertaintyend of revenue and related cash flows. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferralfiscal June 2020, 98% of the Effective Date, which delaysCompany's stores globally were open to the effective datepublic following the implementation of ASU 2014-09the highest level of health and safety protocols recommended by one yearthe federal and local health and governmental authorities. GameStop's store locations in Australia remained opened to December 15, 2017 (with early adoption permitted). In 2016, the FASB issued several ASUs that further amendedpublic during the new revenue standard in26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 and were not negatively impacted during this period by the areas of principal versus agent evaluation, licenses of intellectual property, identifying performance obligations,COVID-19 restrictions as the Company's other segments and other clarifications and technical corrections. Entities may use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition approach in applying these ASUs. We planNew Zealand. Subsequent to adopt these new standards in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 20182020, approximately 15% of the Company's stores in Australia were temporarily closed due to an outbreak of COVID-19.
The Company has followed the highest level of health and intendsafety protocols recommended by the federal and local health and governmental authorities and the substantial majority of the Company's stores across the various geographies where it operates were re-opened to utilize the public for the latter portion of the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020. In addition, many of the Company's stores in the United States continued to offer curbside pick-up, ship from store and e-commerce delivery options during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 while they were open to the public.
Impact on Operating Results and Asset Recoverability
While the gaming industry has not been as severely impacted as certain other consumer businesses, store closures during the stay-at-home orders have adversely impacted the Company's results of operations during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020. As a result, the Company has taken proactive measures to align inventory purchases with demand, reduce discretionary spending and institute temporary pay reductions to partially offset the impact of store closures.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020, the Company incurred $21.4 million to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including incremental wage payments to hourly associates to help offset lost wages due to store closures, enhanced cleaning measures and expanded use of personal protective equipment at its stores, shared service centers and distribution centers across all geographies where the Company operates.
The aggregation of these events caused the Company to reassess potential impairments of long-lived assets, primarily consisting of store-level property and equipment and right-of-use assets under existing operating leases. As a result of this asset impairment analysis, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. In addition, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020, the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for its corporate aircraft, which were partially attributable to the current economic impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The corporate aircraft was sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 for $8.6 million, net of costs to sell. See Note 1, "General Information" for further details.
During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2020 the Company continued to assess the likelihood of realizing the benefits of its deferred tax assets. The Company estimates its deferred tax assets using several factors, including the weight of available evidence, which takes into consideration cumulative book losses recognized and projections of future taxable income in certain jurisdictions. While the Company's view of the longer-term operating outlook has not been significantly impacted by COVID-19, its ability to recover these deferred tax assets depends on several factors, including the Company's short and long-term results of operations. As a result of this analysis, there remains a valuation allowance primarily associated with U.S. deferred tax assets of $53.0 million as of August 1, 2020. See Note 10, “Income Taxes" for further information.
The Company also evaluated its existing short-term assets, particularly accounts receivable and inventory.
Accounts receivable are mainly comprised of bankcard receivables and vendor allowances. Given the nature of these receivables and the credit worthiness of the applicable payees, the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact the estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts.
Merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market generally using the average cost method. The Company is required to record valuation adjustments to inventory to reflect potential obsolescence or over-valuation as a result of cost exceeding market. In valuing inventory, the Company considers quantities on hand, recent sales, potential price protections, returns to vendors and other factors. Given the nature of the Company's products and the temporary store closures between March and June 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact its estimates of inventory valuation.
Liquidity and Other Impacts
As of August 1, 2020, the Company had total cash on hand of $735.1 million and an additional $28.4 million of available borrowing capacity under its $420 million revolving credit facility, which had $35.0 million of outstanding borrowings as of August 1, 2020. The Company's total cash on hand includes $43.2 million proceeds, net of costs to sell and other deductions, from the sale and leaseback of its corporate headquarters, ancillary office space and a nearby refurbishment center in Grapevine, Texas and $8.6 million net proceeds from the sale of the Company's corporate aircraft. See Note 1, "General Information," and Note 5, "Leases," for further information on the sale of the corporate aircraft and the sale and leaseback transactions. As mentioned above, the Company has taken actions to align expenses and inventory levels given the impacts of the current operating environment and has projected it will have adequate liquidity for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future to maintain normal operations. Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company completed an exchange offer for its unsecured senior notes due in March 2021 resulting in the replacement of 52% of such notes for newly issued secured senior notes due in March 2023. See Note 6, "Debt," for further details on the exchange offer and related impacts to scheduled debt maturities.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which among other things, provides employer payroll tax credits for wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 pandemic and options to defer the Company's share of Social Security payroll taxes. The Company qualified for the deferral of payroll and other tax payments and, as a result, it has deferred, and continues to defer payroll taxes and other tax payments through the end of the calendar year 2020. The payment of these deferred amounts are required to be made in 2021 and 2022 calendar years. These deferrals are included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities within the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company's French subsidiary obtained €20.0 million of unsecured term loans, 90% of which is guaranteed by the French government pursuant to a state guaranteed loan program instituted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 6, "Debt" for further information.
During the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020, the Company received $9.1 million of COVID-19-related rent concessions comprised of rent abatements and rent deferrals. The Company applied lease modification guidance to any concession arrangement that extended the term of the lease and substantially altered future cash flows. The Company elected, as permitted by the guidance issued by the FASB during the COVID-19 pandemic, to not use lease modification accounting for all rent concessions including any rent abatements related to leases not subject to an extension of the original terms. For these leases,

which represented most of the leases subject to COVID-19-related rent concessions, the Company reduced rent expense in the later of the month in which the landlord issued the rent concession or the month for which the rent concession related. For rent concessions including a deferral of the lease payment, the liability for these rent amounts will remain on the balance sheet until paid.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains an evolving situation and its impact on the Company's business, operating results, cash flows and financial conditions will depend on the geographies impacted by the virus, the ongoing economic effect of the pandemic, the additional economic stimulus programs introduced by governments, and the timing of the post-pandemic economic recovery. Even as the Company continues to comply with all governmental health and safety requirements for its associates and customers while resuming and maintaining full operations, the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic may require the Company to temporarily close stores again in future periods or introduce modified retrospective transition approach. Weoperating schedules and may impact customer behaviors, including a potential reduction in consumer discretionary spending. These developments could increase asset recovery and valuation risks. Further, the uncertainties in the global economy could impact the financial viability of the Company's suppliers, which may interrupt the Company's supply chain and require other changes to operations. In light of the foregoing, the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses of governments, customers, suppliers and other third parties, may materially adversely impact the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
3. Revenue
At the end of fiscal 2019, the Company revised the categories of its similar products, as presented below, to better align with management's view of the business.

Performance Obligations
The Company has arrangements with customers where its performance obligations are satisfied over time, which primarily relate to extended warranties and its Game Informer® magazine. Revenues do not expect the adoption of the newinclude sales tax or other taxes collected from customers. The Company expects to recognize revenue standards to have a material impact to our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of cash flows.
Based on our ongoing evaluation, we expect that the new revenue standards will primarily impact the accounting of ourin future periods for remaining performance obligations it has associated with unredeemed gift cards, trade-in credits, reservation deposits and its PowerUp Rewards loyalty program (collectively, "unredeemed customer liabilities"), extended warranties and the recognition of breakagesubscriptions to its Game Informer® magazine.
Performance obligations associated with ourunredeemed customer liabilities are primarily satisfied at the time customers redeem gift cards, liability. For ourtrade-in credits, customer deposits or loyalty program we currently estimatepoints for products offered by the net costCompany. Unredeemed customer liabilities are generally redeemed within one year of issuance. As of August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, the rewards that will be issuedCompany's unredeemed customer liabilities totaled $213.0 million and redeemed$250.6 million, respectively.
The Company offers extended warranties on certain new and record this cost (presented as cost of sales) andpre-owned video game products with terms generally ranging from 12 to 24 months, depending on the associated balance sheet liability as pointsproduct. Revenues for extended warranties sold are accumulated by our loyalty program members. Under the new standards, the transaction price will be allocated between the product(s) sold and loyalty points earned, where the portion allocated to the loyalty points will be initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as revenue upon redemption or expiration of the loyalty points. Estimated breakage on unused gift cards and merchandise credit liabilities is currently recognized on a quarterlystraight-line basis (recorded to cost of sales) for balances older than two years toover the extent that we believe the likelihood of redemption is remote. Under the new standards, we will recognize breakage in revenue based on and in proportion to historical redemption patterns, regardlesslife of the agecontract. As of August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, the unused gift cards and merchandise credit liabilities. Significant items yet to be finalized in our implementation efforts include quantification of the cumulative-effect adjustments to be recorded upon adoption, which we do not expect to be material; our ongoing evaluation of changes to business processes and related controls; and the impact of the new revenue-related disclosure requirements to our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The standard specifies how prepaid stored-value product liabilities should be derecognized, thereby eliminating the current and potential future diversity in practice. Consistent with ASU 2014-09Company's deferred revenue liability related to extended warranties totaled $50.6 million and $63.3 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 August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, the Company had deferred revenue recognition, the standard requires derecognition in proportionof $29.1 million and $40.6 million, respectively, associated with the rights expected to be exercised by the holder. Entities may adopt this standard using either a modified retrospective transition approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings or a full retrospective transition approach. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We continue to evaluate the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

3.4. 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 ourthe Company's 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 ourthe Company's foreign currency contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies we own that havewith a cash surrender value, contingent consideration payable associated with acquisitions, and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities.
We value ourThe Company values its foreign currency contracts, our 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.
In August 2016, we acquired certain assets from Cellular World and Red Skye Wireless. The purchase price included two future payments of contingent consideration. We recognized an acquisition-date liability of $43.2 million representing the total estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. The first payment of $20.0 million was contingent on the relocation of certain stores and was paid in August 2017. The second payment is contingent on sales performance of certain stores and is due in March 2018. During the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2017, we reduced the contingent liability associated with the second payment by $5.7 million to reflect its estimated fair value of $17.5 million. The fair value was estimated based on Level 3 inputs which include future sales projections derived from our historical experience with comparable acquired stores and a discount rate commensurate with the risks and inherent uncertainty in the business.

5. Leases
The Company conducts the substantial majority of its business with leased real estate properties, including retail stores, warehouse facilities and office space. The Company also leases certain equipment and vehicles. These are generally leased under noncancelable agreements and include various renewal options for additional periods. These agreements generally provide for minimum, and in some cases, percentage rentals, and require the Company 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 the Company's lease agreements are classified as operating leases.
Effective February 3, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases. Under ASC 842, fixed payments associated with its operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and both current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company determines if an arrangement is considered a lease at inception. ROU assets are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term, including reasonably certain renewal options. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for most leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment that is based on an analysis of the Company's credit rating, country risk, corporate bond yields, the effect of collateralization, as well as comparison to its borrowing rates. For real estate leases, the Company does not separate the components of a contract, thus its future payments include minimum rent payments and fixed executory costs. For non-real estate leases, future payments include only fixed minimum rent payments. The Company records the amortization of ROU assets and the accretion of lease liabilities as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which includes option terms the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes cash or lease incentives as a reduction to the ROU asset. ROU assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company's long-lived asset impairment policy, which is performed periodically or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

In July of 2020, the Company sold, in separate unrelated transactions, to unaffiliated third parties: i) its 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 will be 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 the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in gain on sale of assets for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020.
In connection with each of the sales, the Company leased-back from the applicable purchasers its 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 3 renewal periods of five years each; the Company recognized only the initial term of the lease as part of its 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 will start at $1.7 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses and will increase by 2.25% per year. The annual rent for the other facilities will be $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 the corporate headquarters, the Company agreed to provide a letter of credit to the buyer-lessor within 18 months from the closing date to secure the Company's 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 the Company 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, the Company will be entitled to be a Level 2 measurement as all significant inputs intorent credit of an equivalent amount. This variable consideration is included in the quote provided by our pricing source are observable in active markets.total gain on sale of assets recognized during the second quarter of 2020.
Subsequent to the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020, we sold and leased-back the Company's Australian and Canadian headquarters. See Note 11, "Subsequent Events," for further information.

These restrictions are subject to exceptions and qualifications, including that we can pay up to $175 million in dividends to stockholders in each fiscal year and we can pay dividends and make other restricted payments in an unlimited amount if our leverage ratio on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the dividend payment and other restricted payments would be less than or equal to 1.0:1.0.

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 a five-year, asset-based facility that is secured by substantially all of ourthe assets of the Company and the assets of ourits domestic subsidiaries. Availability under the Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation. The Revolver includes a $50 million letter of credit sublimit. The amendments extended the maturity date to March 25, 2019; increased the expansion feature under the Revolver from $150 million to $200 million, subject to certain conditions; and revised certain other terms, including a reduction of the fee we are required to pay on the unused portion of the total commitment amount.

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 ourthe 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 October 28, 2017,August 1, 2020, there were no0 cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $9.9$1.0 million.

French Term Loans and Credit Facility
During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company's French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, entered into 3 separate unsecured term loans for a total of €20.0 million. The term loans bear interest at 0% and mature in June 2021, but may be extended for up to five additional years at Micromania SAS's request. In connection with any extension, the interest rate would increase at a rate to be determined at the time of the extension. 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.
In addition, Micromania SAS obtained a credit facility of €20.0 million that allows it to obtain short term loans of 10 to 93 days in duration to support its working capital needs. €10.0 million of the commitments expire in March 2021 and the remaining €10.0 million expire in June 2021. Loans made under the credit facility accrue interest at a variable rate tied to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.5% and are secured by a pledge of the bank account from which repayments of the loans are or will be made. As of August 1, 2020, the credit facility was undrawn and there were 0 outstanding borrowings under the facility.
Each of the term loans and the credit facility restrict the ability of Micromania SAS to make distributions and loans to its affiliates and include various events that result in the automatic acceleration of the loans, 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.

5.7. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
During the 3926 weeks ended October 28, 2017,August 1, 2020, there were no material changes to ourthe Company's commitments as disclosed in our 2016its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contingencies
Acquisitions
In August 2016, we acquired certain assets from Cellular World and Red Skye Wireless. The purchase price included two future payments of contingent consideration. We recognized an acquisition-date liability of $43.2 million representing the total estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. The first payment of $20.0 million was contingent on the relocation of certain stores and was paid in August 2017. The second payment is contingent on sales performance of certain stores and is due in March 2018. During the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2017, we reduced the contingent liability associated with the second payment by $5.7 million to reflect the estimated liability of $17.5 million.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we are,the Company is, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions, stockholder actions and consumer class actions. WeThe Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if we believeit believes settlement is in the best interest of ourits stockholders. We doThe Company does not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on ourits financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Certain of our French subsidiaries have been under audit by the French Tax Administration (the "FTA") for fiscal years 2008 through 2015. We received tax reassessment notices on December 23, 2015 and April 4, 2016, pursuant to which the FTA asserted that the French subsidiaries were ineligible to claim certain tax deductions from November 4, 2008, through January 31, 2013, resulting in a potential additional tax charge of approximately €85.5 million. We may receive additional tax reassessments in material amounts for subsequent fiscal years. We filed a response to each reassessment and intend to vigorously contest the reassessments through administrative procedures. If we are unable to resolve this matter through administrative remedies at the FTA, we plan to pursue judicial remedies. We believe our tax positions will be sustained and have not taken a reserve for any potential adjustment based on the reassessment. If we were not to prevail, then the adjustment to our income tax provision could be material.
6.8. 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- averageweighted-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 and unvested restricted stock 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. The Company has certain undistributed stock awards that participate in dividends on a nonforfeitable basis, however, their impact on earnings per share under the two-class method is negligible.

10. Income Taxes
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures include deferring the due dates of tax payments and other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws as well as providing direct government assistance through grants and forgivable loans. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act (the "CARES Act"), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States, includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. With respect to the CARES Act, the Company currently expects to benefit from the deferral of certain payroll taxes through the end of calendar year 2020, the carryback of a net operating loss for fiscal 2020, the modification of limitation on business interest and the technical correction with respect to qualified improvement property.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $17.9 million for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $40.1 million for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2019. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to (19.2)% for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020 compared to 8.8% for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2019. The decrease in the effective income tax rate and the corresponding change from tax benefit to tax expense compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the significant decrease in the pre-tax book loss, impacts of the CARES Act, the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which the Company operates, the impact of significant valuation allowances established in the U.S. in the current year, and the discrete tax effect of the sale and leaseback transactions during the second quarter.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $68.3 million for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $37.8 million for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2019. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to (32.9)% for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 compared to 8.5% for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2019. The decrease in the effective income tax rate and the corresponding change from tax benefit to tax expense compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the significant decrease in the pre-tax book loss, impacts of the CARES Act, the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which the Company operates, the impact of significant valuation allowances established in the U.S. in the current year, and the discrete tax effect of the sale and leaseback transactions during the second quarter.
The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of existing deferred tax assets. The Company has established valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions where it has determined existing deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, a full valuation allowance was established on all the U.S. and state deferred tax assets in the amount of $53.0 million. The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of all deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis as it relates to expected future earnings. Should the Company fail to achieve its expected earnings in the coming periods, it may be necessary to establish a valuation allowance against some or all of its deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions not currently subject to a valuation allowance.

Reduced the amount of the excess availability trigger that determines whether the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0 from the greater of $30 million and 10% of the borrowing base to the greater of $12.5 million and 10% of the borrowing base;
Increased the sublimit for the issuances of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement from $50 million to $100 million; and
Increased the amount of letters of credit debt permitted to be issued separately from, and not pursuant to, the Credit Agreement from $25 million to (i) up to $150 million for letters of credit issued by borrowers/guarantors under the Credit Agreement and (ii) up to $75 million for letters of credit issued for the benefit of foreign subsidiaries, subject to the understanding that the outstanding amount of letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, combined with the outstanding amount of letters of credit otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement cannot exceed $275 million in the aggregate.
Letter of Credit Facility
Also on August 28, 2020, the Company entered into a new letter of credit facility (the “LC Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”). The LC Facility provides for the issuance, at the Lender’s option and discretion, of letters of credit cash collateralized at 103% of the face amount thereof, in an amount not to exceed (i) $150 million through February 14, 2021 and (ii) $75 million from February 15, 2021 through August 31, 2021. The Lender may terminate the LC Facility at any time. The Company is obligated to pay a fee of 250 basis points per year on the daily undrawn face amount of each letter of credit and such additional fees as may be agreed by the Company and the Lender at the time each letter of credit is issued.
Details on the Fourth Amendment and the LC Facility are included in the Form 8-K the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2020.

We have five reportable segments, which are comprised ofoperate our business in four geographic Video Game Brands segments—segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe—and a Technology Brands segment. Our Technology Brands segment includes our Spring Mobile and Simply Mac businesses. Spring Mobile owns and operates our AT&T branded wireless retail stores and Cricket branded pre-paid wireless stores.
Europe. Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. The fiscal yearyears ending February 3, 2018January 30, 2021 ("fiscal 2017"2020") consists of 53 weeks and the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017February 1, 2020 ("fiscal 2016"2019") consistseach consist of 52 weeks. 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 and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.
Impact from COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed our U.S. store locations to customer access, as well as closed store locations in Canada, Europe and New Zealand. These temporary store closures began in late March 2020 and by the end of fiscal June 2020, 98% of our stores globally were open to the public following the implementation of the highest level of health and safety protocols recommended by the federal and local health and governmental authorities. During the period of temporary closures, we took several steps to continue to serve our customers via our omnichannel platform by enhancing our online capabilities and curbside pick-up options while also lowering our purchase and expense levels to correspond with the lower demand.
The substantial majority of our stores across the various geographies where we operate have re-opened to the public for the latter portion of the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020 following the health and safety protocols recommended by the local health and governmental authorities. In addition, many of our stores in the United States continued offering curbside pick-up, ship from store and e-commerce delivery options while they were open to the public. We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our customers and team members. As a result, during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020, we incurred $21.4 million to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including incremental wage payments to hourly associates to help offset lost wages due to store closures, enhanced cleaning measures and expanded use of personal protective equipment at our stores, shared service centers and distribution centers across all geographies where we operate.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a rapidly evolving situation and the impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial conditions will also depend on many factors that are not within our control, including the following:
the geographies impacted by the virus;
changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits, including spending for the merchandise that we sell;
negative trends in consumer purchasing patterns due to changes in consumers' disposable income, credit availability and debt levels;
the availability of additional economic stimulus programs introduced by the various governments where we operate;
disruption to our supply chain including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products;
delays in the release of key video game titles; and
a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies, and the timing of the post-pandemic economic recovery.
We are taking steps to improve cash flows and liquidity, which we believe will help us emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic as a more resilient company. These steps include the following:
reducing inventory receipts to match demand, focusing our purchasing efforts on key hardware, software and accessories products;
lowering capital spending to focus on mandatory maintenance or near-term high value strategic projects;
divesting non-strategic assets to free up cash that will be re-deployed for certain strategic investments and initiatives, including the recent completion of sale and lease-back transactions; and
completing the exchange offer for our senior notes due in 2021.

In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we took the following steps to preserve liquidity while most of our stores were temporarily closed:
reduced the base salary for our executive leadership team by graduated amounts ranging from 30%-50% for 9 weeks;
lowered the cash compensation for the members of the Board of Directors by 50% for 9 weeks;
reduced pay for certain other employees by graduated amounts across most of the worldwide permanent workforce between 10% and 30% for 9 weeks; and
forewent merit pay increases for the majority of our associates for fiscal 2020.

Industry Overview
Growth in the video game industry is generally driven by the introduction of new technology. Gaming consoles are typicallyhave historically launched in five to seven-year cycles as technological developments provide significant improvements in graphics, audio quality, game play, internet connectivitythe gaming experience and add other entertainment capabilities beyond video gaming.capabilities. Consumer demand for gaming consoles are typically the highest in the early years of the cycle and the weakest in the latter years. The current generation of consoles include the Sony PlayStation 4 (2013)(launched in 2013), Microsoft Xbox One (2013)(launched in 2013) and the Nintendo Switch (March(launched in 2017). In 2016,The Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft XBox One are nearing the end of their cycle as Sony and Microsoft released refresheshave announced their next generation consoles are expected to launch during the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, respectively, and Sony also released the PlayStation VR. In November 2017, Microsoft released a further enhanced versionholiday period of its current generation console, the Xbox One X.2020.
We expect that future growth in the video game industry will also be driven by theThe sale of video games delivered inthrough digital formchannels and the expansion of other forms of gaming.gaming continue to grow and take an increasing percentage of physical video game sales. We currently sell various types of products that relate to the digital category, including digitally downloadable content (“DLC”), full game downloads, Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Plus and Nintendo network points cards, as well as prepaid digital and prepaid subscription cards. We have made significant investments in e-commerce, and in-store and website functionality to enable our customers to access digital content easily andto facilitate the digital sales and delivery process. We plan to continue to invest in these types of processes and channels to grow our digital sales base and enhance our market leadership position in the video game industry and in the digital aggregation and distribution category.
We continue to diversify our business by seeking out opportunities to extend our core competencies to other businesses and retail categories, including mobile and consumer electronics and collectibles, to continue to grow and to help mitigate the financial impact from the cyclical nature of the video game console cycle and we regularly evaluate potential acquisition opportunities, some of which could be material. From fiscal 2013 through October 28, 2017, we have grown our store count of AT&T authorized retailers by over 1,200 stores, primarily through acquisitions. In 2014, we introduced stand-alone collectibles stores and expanded the selection of collectible products in our stores. To further expand our collectibles business, we acquired ThinkGeek in 2015, and we plan to continue investing in this category going forward. We continue to seek to invest in other retail concepts and product lines with the intention of further diversifying our business.
In our discussion of the results of operations, we refer to comparable store sales, which is a measure commonly used in the retail industry and indicates store performance by measuring the growth or decline in sales for certain stores for a particular period over the corresponding period in the prior year. year's comparable period.
Our comparable store sales are comprised of sales from our Video Game Brandsvideo game stores, including stand-alone collectible stores, operating for at least 12 full months as well as sales related to our websites and sales we earn from sales of pre-owned merchandise to wholesalers or dealers. Comparable store sales for our international operating segments exclude the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Historically, stores with an active lease designation were included in our comparable stores sales even if there were temporary closures because such temporary closures were primarily due to remodeling and relocations and were typically resolved within fewer than 14 days. Beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, we refined the definition of comparable store sales to exclude stores that were closed for 14 consecutive days or more and where curbside delivery was not available to customers. Therefore, comparable sales results for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 exclude stores that were closed for 14 consecutive days or more primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic where curbside delivery was not available to customers. These criteria are consistent with the metric used by management for internal reporting and analysis to measure performance of our stores. Comparable store sales reported in prior periods are not affected by this revision.
The calculation of comparable store sales for 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compares the 13 and 26 weeks and 39 weeks for the period ended October 28, 2017August 1, 2020 to the most closely comparable weeks for the prior year.year period. The method of calculating comparable store sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, our method of calculating comparable store sales may not be the same as other retailers’ methods. We believe our calculation

of comparable store sales best represents our strategy as an omnichannel retailer that provides its consumers several ways to access its products.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
In May of 2019, we announced our multi-year transformation initiative, which we refer to as GameStop Reboot to position GameStop on the correct strategic path and fully leverage our unique position and brand in the video game industry. Our Technology Brands stores are excluded fromstrategic plan is anchored on the calculationfollowing four tenets. 
Optimize the core business.Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of comparableoperations across the organization, including cost restructuring, inventory management optimization, adding and growing high margin product categories, and rationalizing the global store sales. We do not consider comparable store salesbase.
Become the social / cultural hub for gaming.Create the social and cultural hub of gaming across the GameStop platform and offerings.
Build a frictionless digital ecosystem. Develop and deploy a frictionless consumer facing digital omni-channel environment, including the recent relaunch of GameStop.com, to be a meaningful metric in evaluatingreach customers more broadly across all channels and provide them the performancefull spectrum of content and access to products they desire, anytime, anywhere.
Transform vendor partnerships. Transform our Technology Brands stores duevendor and partner relationships to the frequently changing nature ofunlock additional high-margin revenue streams and commission structures associated withoptimize the lifetime value of every customer.

Connected to our transformation efforts, we have incurred and expect to incur future costs including, but not limited to, consulting fees, severance and store closure costs. See "Consolidated Results from Operations—Selling, General and Administrative Expenses" for further information.
We remain committed to a capital allocation strategy focused on optimizing long-term value creation. With this segmentapproach, we will return capital to shareholders when the time is right and balance that opportunity against the need to maintain a strong balance sheet and to invest in responsible growth that will drive innovation for the business.

Table of our business. Instead, we measure the performance of our Technology Brands stores by using comparable store gross profit, which is calculated using a similar methodology as comparable stores sales, but replacing sales with gross profit in the calculation. Our method of calculating comparable store gross profit may not be the same as other retailers’ methods.Contents

Although the substantial majority of our stores were able to open for the latter portion the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the negative impact related to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect our store operations in the United States, Canada, Europe and New Zealand.

Goodwill and Asset Impairments
During the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020, we recognized asset impairment charges totaling $0.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The charges consist of $0.5 million and $3.2 million, for the current quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, in impairment charges related to our formerly-owned corporate aircraft, which we sold in the second fiscal quarter of 2020 and $0.4 million and $1.6 million, for the current quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, in impairment charges associated with store-level assets.
During the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2019, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge totaling $363.9 million. The impairment charge was primarily as a result of a decline in our market capitalization. As a result of the impairment charge, we have no remaining goodwill.
Gain on Sale of Assets
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 will be used for general corporate purposes. As a result of these transactions, a gain on sale of assets of $11.3 million was recognized for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks 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 as part of our 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 will start at $1.7 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses and will increase by 2.25% per year. The annual rent for the other facilities will be $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 the corporate headquarters, we agreed to provide a letter of credit to the buyer-lessor within 18 months from the closing date to secure our lease obligation. Upon delivering such letter of credit, we will be entitled to a rent credit of $2.8 million. This variable consideration is included in the total gain on sale of assets recognized during the second quarter of 2020.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $159.6 million, or 2.9%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in comparable store sales of 2.1% compared to the prior year period and an increase in sales in Technology Brands, as well as the positive impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $22.9 million.

New video game hardware sales increased $134.1 million, or 16.5%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, primarily due to the launch of the Nintendo Switch in March 2017, which was partially offset by decreases in sales of other consoles as their cycles mature.
Collectibles sales increased $93.7 million, or 33.3%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, due to the growth of collectibles sales in our Video Game Brands stores and the growthsignificant valuation allowances established in the number of stand-alone collectibles stores.
Technology Brands sales increased $25.9 million, or 4.6%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of stores in the second half of fiscal 2016 within the Technology Brands segment, partially offset by a slowdown in the wireless upgrade cycle and changes in commission income in the current year.
Video game accessories increased $18.4 million, or 4.2%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, primarily due to the recent release of the Nintendo Switch.
The increases described above were partially offset by the following:
Pre-owned and value video game product sales decreased $87.0 million, or 5.5%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, primarily due to the decrease in store traffic as a result of weaker new release titlesU.S. in the current year, period.and the discrete tax effect of the sale and leaseback transactions during the second quarter.
New video game software sales decreased $26.3We recognized income tax expense of $68.3 million or 1.7%, for the 3926 weeks ended October 28, 2017August 1, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $37.8 million for the 3926 weeks ended October 29, 2016, primarily dueAugust 3, 2019.

The increase in gross profit was driven by increases of $44.9 million in Technology Brands, primarily related to the growth through acquisitions, $28.1 million in collectibles and $6.0 million in new video game hardware. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $46.2 million in pre-owned and value video game products and $24.6 million in new video game software.
The net decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was due to product mix shift between categories and the following product margin rate variances:
New video game software decreased to 22.8% in the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 from 24.0% in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, primarily due to lower cooperative advertising funds as a percentage of sales associated with weaker new title releases in the current year period.
New video game hardware decreased to 10.7% in the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 from 11.7% in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016.
These decreases in gross profit as a percentage of net sales were partially offset by an increase in Technology Brands gross margin to 72.8% in the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 from 68.1% in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, due to the growth in the number of Spring Mobile stores, which carry higher gross margin than the other businesses inside Technology Brands.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A increased $64.7 million, or 4.0%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 compared to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the growth of the Technology Brands segment stores in the second half of fiscal 2016, which have higher SG&A as a percentage of sales than the other segments.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $49.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of 26.0%, for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, compared to $87.4 million, representing an effective tax rate of 37.7%, for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016.August 3, 2019. The decrease in the effective income tax rate and the corresponding change from tax benefit to tax expense compared to the same period in the prior year quarter was primarily driven by certain discrete tax items recognizedthe significant decrease in the current year period andpre-tax book loss, impacts of the CARES Act, the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate.
Operating Earnings and Net Income
The factors described above led to operating earnings of $232.3 million for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, or a 14.3% decrease from operating earnings of $271.1 million for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016. Net income was $140.6 million for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, which represented a 2.7% decrease from net income of $144.5 million for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016.
SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
We report our business in the following segments: Video Game Brands, which consists of four geographic segments in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, and Technology Brands. We identified these segments based on a combination of geographic areas, the methods with which we analyze performance, the way in which our sales and profits are derived and how we divide management responsibility. Our sales and profits are driven through our physical stores, which are highly integrated with our e-commerce, digital and mobile businesses. Due to this integration, our physical stores are the basis for our segment reporting. Each of the Video Game Brands segments consists primarily of retail operations, with all stores engaged in the sale of new and pre-owned video game hardware, software and accessories (which we refer to as video game products), new and pre-owned mobile devices, related accessories and collectibles. These products are substantially the same regardless of geographic location, with the primary differences in merchandise carried being the timing of the release of new products or technologies in the various segments.
With our presence in international markets, we have operations in several foreign currencies, including the Euro, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Danish kroner, Swedish krona, and the Norwegian kroner.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand and our revolving credit facility. As of August 1, 2020, we had total cash on hand of $735.1 million and an additional $28.4 million of available borrowing capacity under our $420 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), which had $35.0 million of outstanding borrowings as of August 1, 2020. Our total cash on hand includes $43.2 million proceeds, net of costs to sell and other deductions, from the sales and leasebacks of our corporate headquarters, ancillary office space and a nearby refurbishment center in Grapevine, Texas and $8.6 million net proceeds from the sale of our corporate aircraft. See Note 1, "General Information," and Note 5, "Leases," for further information.
Availability under our Revolver, which was increased subsequent to August 1, 2020, as described in the Sources of Liquidity section below, provides us additional liquidity throughout the course of the year to fund our operations. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under our $420 million asset-based revolving credit facilitythe Revolver together will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations store openings and remodeling activitiestransformation initiatives and support corporate capital allocation programs, including acquisitions,any share or debt or share repurchases and the payment of dividends declared by the Board of Directors,that we may undertake, for at least the next 12 months.months and the foreseeable future. While factors related to COVID-19 have negatively impacted our results for the first quarter ended May 2, 2020, results for our second quarter ended August 1, 2020, as compared to our first quarter of fiscal 2020, have improved as we continued to achieve the cash flow benefits from cost savings and expense reduction initiatives, as well as disciplined working capital management which supports an improved liquidity position.
As of October 28, 2017, we had total cash on hand of $454.7 million and an additional $392.4 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolver. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate and consider certain strategic acquisitions,operating alternatives, including divestitures, restructuring or dissolution of unprofitable business segments, repurchasing shares of our common stock or our outstanding debt obligations, as well as other transactions that we believe may enhance stockholder value. These transactions may require cash expenditures that may be funded through a combinationSpecific to our 2021 Senior Notes, on July 6, 2020 we issued $216.4 million aggregate principal amount of cashthe 2023 Senior Notes in exchange for the same aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes. See Note 6, "Debt," for further details on hand,this debt or equity offerings, or borrowings on our Revolver.exchange. The amount, nature and timing of any borrowingsstrategic operational changes, or salespurchases of our debt or equity securities will depend on our available cash and liquidity, operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions. As part of our previously announced GameStop Reboot profit improvement initiative, we are evaluating future strategic and operating alternatives for certain of our unprofitable operating subsidiaries and business units that operate within our international segments. We currently believe that the aggregate amount of any potential charges associated with the disposition or wind-down of certain operations under consideration, primarily relating to lease and severance obligations and accelerated depreciation and amortization, would not be material to our liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 around the world, many of our vendors have been impacted by the volatility in the supply chain financing market. As a result, in recent weeks, we have elected to use certain supply chain support instruments such as letters of credit with a select few vendors to ensure we are maximizing opportunities in our supply chain as the next generation of gaming consoles approaches in the coming few months. We may elect to further use these instruments in the future. Use of these instruments may utilize capacity of the borrowing base under our ABL revolving line of credit or potentially increase our balance of restricted cash.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic both in the United States and globally continues to cause uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, including interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The outbreak is expected to have a continued adverse impact on market conditions for the foreseeable future and to trigger a period of global economic slowdown with no known duration. See further discussion in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report ourand, based on that evaluation, determined that its disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurancewere effective as of achieving their objectives and that our disclosure controls and procedures are effectiveAugust 1, 2020 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 our periodic reports.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There wasIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has required certain employees, some of whom are involved in the operation of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, to work from home. Despite this change, there have been no changechanges in ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) underduring the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended August 1, 2020 that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continually monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on its internal controls to minimize any impact it may have on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of ourits business, we are,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. WeThe Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if we believeit believes settlement is in the best interest of ourits stockholders. We doThe Company does not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on ourits financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Certain of our French subsidiaries have been under audit by the French Tax Administration (the "FTA") for fiscal years 2008 through 2015. We received tax reassessment notices on December 23, 2015 and April 4, 2016, pursuant to which the FTA asserted that the French subsidiaries were ineligible to claim certain tax deductions from November 4, 2008, through January 31, 2013, resulting in a potential additional tax charge of approximately €85.5 million. We may receive additional tax reassessments in material amounts for subsequent fiscal years. We filed a response to each reassessment and intend to vigorously contest the reassessments through administrative procedures. If we are unable to resolve this matter through administrative remedies at the FTA, we plan to pursue judicial remedies. We believe our tax positions will be sustained and have not taken a reserve for any potential adjustment based on the reassessment. If we were not to prevail, then the adjustment to our income tax provision could be material.
ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully considerIn light of recent developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company amended and restated all risk factors discussedthat were included in “Item 1A.item "1A. Risk Factors” in our 2016Factors" of its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 27, 2020. A copy of the amended and restated risk factors was provided in Exhibit 99.4 to the Form 8-K the Company filed with the SEC on June 5, 2020 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, due to the issuance of the 2023 Senior Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer settled on July 6, 2020, the Company is providing the following new risk factors related to its indebtedness:
The indenture governing our 2023 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions or take advantage of certain business opportunities.
The indenture governing our 2023 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest, including restrictions on our ability to:
incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness or guaranty certain obligations;
declare dividends, make payments or redeem or repurchase capital stock or make distributions in respect of capital stock;
prepay, redeem or purchase certain indebtedness;
issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities;
make loans and certain investments;
31


sell assets;
incur liens;
engage in transactions with affiliates;
enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and
engage in mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations.
In addition, the restrictive covenants applicable to our revolving credit facility require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0 in the event that excess availability under the revolving credit facility is at any time less than the greater of (1) $30.0 million prior to August 28, 2020 ($12.5 million beginning on August 28, 2020) and (2) 10% of the lesser of the total commitment and the borrowing base. As of August 1, 2020, we would not have been in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant if it were in effect and, therefore, our borrowing capacity was effectively reduced by $30.0 million. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial performance may impair our ability to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant in the future, which would also impact our access to the availability under the revolving credit facility.
A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the indenture governing our 2023 Senior Notes or our revolving credit facility could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such an event of default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the revolving credit facility would permit the lenders under our revolving credit facility to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under our revolving credit facility, those lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. In the event our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. As a result of these restrictions, we may be:
limited in how we conduct our business;
unable to raise additional debt or equity financing necessary in order to operate during general economic or business downturns; or
unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.
These risksrestrictions may affect our ability to grow in accordance with our strategy. In addition, our financial results, our substantial indebtedness and our credit ratings could materially and adversely affect the availability and terms of our financing.
To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations or refinance our debt on favorable terms.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, including without limitation any payments required to be made under our revolving credit facility or to holders of our 2021 Senior Notes and our 2023 Senior Notes, and to fund our operations, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt obligations, including interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, including the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. We cannot provide assurance that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales, that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or if that additional financing would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments, then in effect.
Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or on a timely basis, would have an negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur additional debt. This could further increase the risks associated with our leverage.
Although the indentures governing our 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility agreement contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Additionally, these restrictions will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. Such future indebtedness or obligations may have restrictions similar to, or more restrictive than, those included in the indentures for our 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes or our revolving credit facility agreement. The incurrence of additional indebtedness could impact our financial condition and results of operations. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
