NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
GameStop Corp. (the Company) is a Delaware
corporation formed for the purpose of consummating the business
combination (the merger) of GameStop Holdings Corp.,
formerly known as GameStop Corp. (Historical
GameStop), and Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp.
(EB), which was completed on October 8, 2005.
The merger of Historical GameStop and EB was treated as a
purchase business combination for accounting purposes, with
Historical GameStop designated as the acquirer. The Company is
the worlds largest retailer of video games and
entertainment software.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. All dollar and share amounts in the consolidated
financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial
statements are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars unless
otherwise indicated.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the Companys
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information
for the periods presented. These consolidated financial
statements are condensed and, therefore, do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual
report on
Form 10-K
for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2007 (fiscal
2006). The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these
financial statements, management has made its best estimates and
judgments of certain amounts included in the financial
statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in
the estimates and assumptions used by management could have
significant impact on the Companys financial results.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of
operations for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 are
not indicative of the results to be expected for the
52 weeks ending February 2, 2008 (fiscal
2007).
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior
period data to the current interim period presentation.

Business
Combinations and Goodwill
|
On January 13, 2007, the Company purchased Game Brands
Inc., a 72-store video game retailer operating under the name
Rhino Video Games, for $10,282. The acquisition was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting, with the excess of
the purchase price over the net assets acquired, in the amount
of $7,021, recorded as goodwill. The pro forma effect assuming
the acquisition of Game Brands Inc. at the beginning of fiscal
2006 is not material to the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
|
|
3.
|
Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
|
Beginning January 29, 2006, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)), using the modified
prospective application method. Under this method, the Company
records stock-based compensation expense based on the grant-date
fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for all options
granted prior to, but not vested as of, the adoption date. In
addition, the Company records compensation expense in accordance
with SFAS 123(R) for the share-based awards issued after
the adoption date.

GAMESTOP

NOTES TO

STATEMENTS (Continued)
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This
valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions,
including expected option life, expected volatility and the
expected employee forfeiture rate. The Company uses historical
data to estimate the option life and the employee forfeiture
rate, and uses historical volatility when estimating the stock
price volatility. There were no options granted during the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006. The options granted during the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006 were 939 and
3,260, respectively, with a weighted-average fair value
estimated at $10.16 and $8.42 per share, respectively, using the
following assumptions:

The options to purchase common stock are issued at fair market
value on the date of the grant. Generally, the options vest and
become exercisable ratably over a three-year period, commencing
one year after the grant date, and expire ten years from
issuance. The fair value of each option is recognized as
compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant
date and the date the options become fully vested. In the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006, the Company included compensation expense relating to
stock option grants of $3,866 and $4,045, respectively, in
selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006, the Company included compensation expense relating to
stock option grants of $11,937 and $12,498, respectively, in
selling, general and administrative expenses. As of
November 3, 2007, the unrecognized compensation expense
related to the unvested portion of our stock options was $17,600
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average
period of 0.9 years. The total intrinsic values of options
exercised during the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007
and October 28, 2006 were $84,100 and $20,142,
respectively. The total intrinsic values of options exercised
during the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and
October 28, 2006 were $262,002 and $109,258, respectively.
There were 10 shares of restricted stock granted during the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and no shares granted
during the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2006. The shares
granted during the quarter had a fair market value of $56.76 per
share and vest in equal installments over three years. During
the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and
October 28, 2006, the Company granted 974 shares and
515 shares, respectively, of restricted stock. The shares
had a weighted-average fair market value of $27.09 and $20.69
per share, respectively, and vest in equal installments over
three years. During the 13 weeks ended November 3,
2007 and October 28, 2006, the Company included
compensation expense relating to the restricted share grants in
the amount of $2,800 and $1,111, respectively, in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006, the Company included compensation expense relating to the
restricted share grants in the amount of $8,374 and $3,208,
respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses.
As of November 3, 2007, there was $21,534 of unrecognized
compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock
awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average
period of 2.2 years.

Computation
of Net Earnings per Common Share
|
As of February 3, 2007, the Company had two classes of
common stock. On February 7, 2007, following approval by a
majority of the Class B common stockholders, all
outstanding shares of Class B common stock were converted
into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis
(the Conversion). In addition, on February 9,
2007, the board of directors of the Company authorized a
two-for-one stock split, effected by a one-for-one stock
dividend to stockholders of record at the close of business on
February 20, 2007, paid on March 16, 2007 (the
Stock Split). The effect of the Conversion and the
Stock Split has been retroactively applied to all periods
presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto. The Company now has only Class A common
stock outstanding and computes earnings per share in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128,
Earnings per Share. A reconciliation of shares used in
calculating basic and diluted net earnings per common share

In October 2005, in connection with the merger, the Company
entered into a five-year, $400,000 Credit Agreement (the
Revolver), including a $50,000 letter of credit
sub-limit, secured by the assets of the Company and its
U.S. subsidiaries. The Revolver places certain restrictions
on the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, including
limitations on asset sales, additional liens and the incurrence
of additional indebtedness.
In April 2007, the Company amended the Revolver to extend the
maturity date from October 11, 2010 to April 25, 2012,
reduce the LIBO interest rate margin, reduce and fix the rate of
the unused commitment fee and modify or delete certain other
covenants.
The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing
base which allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of
(x) approximately 70% of eligible inventory and
(y) 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each
8

NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
case plus 85% of eligible credit card receivables, net of
certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available
to borrow by their face value. The Companys ability to pay
cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is
generally prohibited, except that if availability under the
Revolver is, or will be after any such payment, equal to or
greater than 25% of the borrowing base, the Company may
repurchase its capital stock and pay cash dividends. In
addition, in the event that credit extensions under the Revolver
at any time exceed 80% of the lesser of the total commitment or
the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed
charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.5:1.0.
The interest rate on the Revolver is variable and, at the
Companys option, is calculated by applying a margin of
(1) 0.0% to 0.25% above the higher of the prime rate of the
administrative agent or the federal funds effective rate plus
0.50% or (2) 1.00% to 1.50% above the LIBO rate. The
applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the
Companys consolidated leverage ratio. As of
November 3, 2007, the applicable margin was 0.0% for prime
rate loans and 1.25% for LIBO rate loans. In addition, the
Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any
unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver.
As of November 3, 2007, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding
totaled $5,714.
In September 2007, the Companys Luxembourg subsidiary
entered into a discretionary, $20,000 Uncommitted Line of Credit
(the Line of Credit) with Bank of America. There is
no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America
may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line
of Credit will be made available to the Companys 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 November 3, 2007, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees
outstanding were minimal.
On September 28, 2005, the Company, along with GameStop,
Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the
Issuers), completed the offering of
U.S. $300,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating
Rate Notes due 2011 (the Senior Floating Rate Notes)
and U.S. $650,000 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 (the
Indenture), dated September 28, 2005, by and
among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and
Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee).
Concurrently with the consummation of the merger on
October 8, 2005, EB and its direct and indirect
U.S. wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the EB
Guarantors) became subsidiaries of the Company and entered
into a First Supplemental Indenture, dated October 8, 2005,
by and among the Issuers, the EB Guarantors and the Trustee,
pursuant to which the EB Guarantors assumed all the obligations
of a subsidiary guarantor under the Notes and the Indenture. The
net proceeds of the offering were used to pay the cash portion
of the merger consideration paid to the stockholders of EB in
connection with the merger.
The offering of the Notes was conducted in a private transaction
under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), and in transactions
outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S
under the Securities Act. In April 2006, the Company filed a
registration statement on
Form S-4
in order to register new notes (the New Notes) with
the same terms and conditions as the Notes in order to
facilitate an exchange of the New Notes for the Notes. This
registration statement on
Form S-4
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
in May 2006 and the Company commenced an exchange offer to
exchange the New Notes for the Notes. This exchange offer was
completed in June 2006 with 100% participation.
In November 2006, Citibank, N.A. resigned as Trustee for the
Notes and Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new
Trustee for the Notes.
The Senior Notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum, mature on
October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a
discount at the time of issue of $8,528. The discount is being
amortized using the effective interest

method. As of November 3, 2007, the unamortized original
issue discount was $5,771. The rate of interest on the Senior
Floating Rate Notes prior to their redemption on October 1,
2007 was 9.2350% per annum.
The Issuers pay interest on the Senior Notes semi-annually, in
arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record
on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, and
at maturity.
The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants
customary for such financings, including, among other things,
limitations on (1) the incurrence of additional debt,
(2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) sale and
leaseback transactions and (5) asset sales. Events of
default provided for in the Indenture include, among other
things, failure to pay interest or principal on the Notes, other
breaches of covenants in the Indenture, and certain events of
bankruptcy and insolvency.
As of November 3, 2007, the Company was in compliance with
all covenants associated with the Revolver and the Indenture.
Under certain conditions, the Issuers may on any one or more
occasions prior to maturity redeem up to 100% of the aggregate
principal amount of Senior Notes issued under the Indenture at
redemption prices at or in excess of 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date. The circumstances which would limit the
percentage of the Notes which may be redeemed or which would
require the Company to pay a premium in excess of 100% of the
principal amount are defined in the Indenture. Upon a Change of
Control (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuers are required
to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at 101%
of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
The Issuers may acquire Senior Notes by means other than
redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases,
negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with
applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisitions do not
otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.
In May 2006, the Company announced that its board of directors
authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of $100,000 of its
Senior Floating Rate Notes and Senior Notes. As of
October 28, 2006, the Company had repurchased $36,332 of
its Senior Notes and $30,000 of its Senior Floating Rate Notes.
As of February 3, 2007, the end of its most recent fiscal
year, the Company had repurchased the maximum authorized amount,
having acquired $50,000 of its Senior Notes and $50,000 of its
Senior Floating Rate Notes, and delivered the Notes to the
Trustee for cancellation. The associated loss on retirement of
this debt was $3,371 and $3,562 for the 13 and 39 week
periods ended October 28, 2006, respectively, which
consisted of the premium paid to retire the Notes and the
recognition of the deferred financing fees and the original
issue discount on the Notes.
On February 9, 2007, the Company announced that its board
of directors authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of an
additional $150,000 of its Senior Notes and Senior Floating Rate
Notes. The timing and amount of the repurchases were determined
by the Companys management based on their evaluation of
market conditions and other factors. As of August 4, 2007,
the Company had repurchased the additional $150,000 of the
Notes, having acquired $20,000 of its Senior Notes and $130,000
of its Senior Floating Rate Notes, and delivered the Notes to
the Trustee for cancellation. The associated loss on retirement
of this debt was $8,751 for the 39 week period ended
November 3, 2007 which consists of the premium paid to
retire the Notes and the recognition of the deferred financing
fees and the original issue discount on the Notes.
On June 28, 2007, the Company announced that its board of
directors authorized the redemption of the remaining $120,000 of
Senior Floating Rate Notes outstanding. On July 12, 2007,
the Issuers notified the Trustee of their intent to redeem the
Notes on October 1, 2007. The Company redeemed the Senior
Floating Rate Notes on October 1, 2007 at the redemption
price specified by the Senior Floating Rate Notes of 102.0%,
plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption
date. The Company incurred a one-time pre-tax charge of $3,840
associated with the redemption, which represents a $2,400
redemption premium and $1,440 to recognize unamortized deferred
financing costs.

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)
commenced an examination of the Companys U.S. income
tax returns for the fiscal years ended on January 29, 2005
and January 28, 2006 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007
that is anticipated to be completed by May 2008. The Company
does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The
Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax
examination by tax authorities for years before and including
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. EB is no longer
subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax
authorities for years prior to and including the fiscal year
ended February 1, 2003.
With respect to state and local jurisdictions and countries
outside of the United States, the Company and its subsidiaries
are typically subject to examination for three to six years
after the income tax returns have been filed. Although the
outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes
that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been
provided for in the accompanying financial statements for any
adjustments that might be incurred due to state, local or
foreign audits.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48), on February 4, 2007. As a
result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company
recognized a $16,679 increase in the liability for unrecognized
tax benefits, interest and penalties, which was accounted for as
a reduction of the February 3, 2007 balance of retained
earnings. As of February 4, 2007, the gross amount of
unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties was $25,250.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if
recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $22,149 as
of February 4, 2007. Additionally, adoption of FIN 48
resulted in the reclassification of certain accruals for
uncertain tax positions in the amount of $7,864 from prepaid
taxes to other long-term liabilities in our condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 3,
2007, the Company recognized an increase of $268 and a decrease
of $1,418 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits,
respectively, and an increase of $571 and $1,688 for interest
and penalties, respectively. As of November 3, 2007, the
gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and
penalties was $25,521. The total amount of unrecognized tax
benefit that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate
was $20,731.

GAMESTOP
CORP.
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company has historically recognized interest relating to
income tax matters as a component of interest expense and
recognized penalties relating to income tax matters as a
component of selling, general and administrative expense. Such
interest and penalties have historically been immaterial.
Subsequent to adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognizes
accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters in
income tax expense. The Company had $3,101 in interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits accrued at the
date of adoption and $4,789 as of November 3, 2007.
It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized
benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax
positions could significantly increase or decrease within the
next 12 months as a result of settling ongoing audits. At
this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible
outcomes cannot be made.
The tax provisions for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006 are based upon
managements estimate of the Companys annualized
effective tax rate.

Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
|
The Company operates departments within nine bookstores operated
by Barnes & Noble, a stockholder of Historical
GameStop until November 2004 and an affiliate through a common
stockholder who is the chairman of the board of directors of
Barnes & Noble and a member of the Companys
board of directors. The Company pays a license fee to
Barnes & Noble on the gross sales of such departments.
Management deems the license fee to be reasonable and based upon
terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arms
length transaction. These charges amounted to $289 and $193 for
the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and
October 28, 2006, respectively, and $776 and $591 for the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006, respectively.
Until June 2005, Historical GameStop participated in
Barnes & Nobles workers compensation,
property and general liability insurance programs. The costs
incurred by Barnes & Noble under these programs were
allocated to Historical GameStop based upon total payroll
expense, property and equipment, and insurance claim history of
Historical GameStop. Management deemed the allocation
methodology to be reasonable. Although the Company secured its
own insurance coverage, costs will likely continue to be
incurred by Barnes & Noble on insurance claims which
were incurred under its programs prior to June 2005 and any such
costs applicable to insurance claims against Historical GameStop
will be allocated to the Company. During the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006, these charges
amounted to $124 and $307, respectively. During the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006, these charges amounted to $259 and $697, respectively.
In October 2004, the board of directors authorized a repurchase
of the Historical GameStop common stock held by
Barnes & Noble. Historical GameStop repurchased
12,214 shares of its common stock at a price equal to $9.13
per share for aggregate consideration before expenses of
$111,520. Historical GameStop paid $37,500 in cash and issued a
promissory note in the principal amount of $74,020, which was
payable in installments and bore interest at 5.5% per annum,
payable when principal installments were due. The Companys
final scheduled principal payment of $12,173 was paid in October
2007. Interest expense on the promissory note for the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006 totaled $106 and $286, respectively. Interest expense on
the promissory note for the 39 weeks ended November 3,
2007 and October 28, 2006 totaled $444 and $963,
respectively.
In May 2005, the Company entered into an arrangement with
Barnes & Noble under which www.gamestop.com is
the exclusive specialty video game retailer listed on
www.bn.com, Barnes & Nobles
e-commerce
site. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays a fee
to Barnes & Noble for sales of video game or PC
entertainment products sold through www.bn.com. The fee
paid to Barnes & Noble in connection with this
arrangement was $54 and $34 for the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively,
and $153 and $129 for the 39 weeks ended November 3,
2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively.

Contingencies
On February 14, 2005, and as amended, Steve Strickland, as
personal representative of the Estate of Arnold Strickland,
deceased, Henry Mealer, as personal representative of the Estate
of Ace Mealer, deceased, and Willie Crump, as personal
representative of the Estate of James Crump, deceased, filed a
wrongful death lawsuit against GameStop, Sony, Take-Two
Interactive, Rock Star Games and Wal-Mart (collectively, the
Defendants) and Devin Moore in the Circuit Court of
Fayette County, Alabama, alleging that Defendants actions
in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supplying Defendant
Moore with violent video games were negligent and contributed to
Defendant Moore killing Arnold Strickland, Ace Mealer and James
Crump. Plaintiffs are seeking damages of $600,000 under the
Alabama wrongful death statute and punitive damages. GameStop
and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend this
action. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case on
various grounds, which was heard in November 2005 and was
denied. The Defendants appealed the denial of the motion to
dismiss and on March 24, 2006, the Alabama Supreme Court
denied the Defendants application. Discovery is currently
stayed as plaintiffs counsel has received leave of court
to withdraw. Plaintiffs are essentially without counsel and have
been given 90 days from October 14, 2007 to find new
counsel. Mr. Moore was found guilty of capital murder in a
criminal trial in Alabama and was sentenced to death in August
2005. We do not believe there is sufficient information to
estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting from
the lawsuit.
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is, from
time to time, subject to various other legal proceedings.
Management does not believe that any such other legal
proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial
condition or results of operations.

On September 28, 2005, the Company, along with GameStop,
Inc. as co-issuer, completed the offering of the Senior Floating

combined basis (each Issuer and guarantor together with its
majority-owned subsidiaries) and all other non-guarantor
subsidiaries on a combined basis as of November 3, 2007,
October 28, 2006 and February 3, 2007 for the balance
sheet, the statements of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks
ended November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006 and cash

General
GameStop Corp. (GameStop or the Company)
is the worlds largest retailer of video game products and
PC entertainment software. We sell new and used video game
hardware, video game software and accessories, as well as PC
entertainment software and related accessories and other
merchandise. As of November 3, 2007, we operated 5,123
stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe,
primarily under the names GameStop and EB Games. We also operate
electronic commerce websites under the names
www.gamestop.com and www.ebgames.com and publish
Game Informer, the largest multi-platform video game
magazine in the United States based on circulation.
Growth in the video game industry is driven by the introduction
of new technology. In 2005 in the North American markets, Sony
introduced the PlayStation Portable (the PSP) in
March and Microsoft introduced the Xbox 360 in November. In
November 2006, Nintendo introduced the Wii hardware platform
worldwide and Sony introduced the PlayStation 3 hardware
platform in the North American markets. Sony introduced the
PlayStation 3 platform in the Australian and European markets in
March 2007. Typically, in the first full year following the
introduction of new video game platforms, sales of new video
game hardware increase as a percentage of sales. 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 second and third years. The
net effect is generally a decline in gross margins in the first
full year following new platform releases and an increase in
gross margins in the second and third years. Unit sales of
maturing video game platforms are typically also driven by
manufacturer-funded retail price decreases, further driving
sales of related software and accessories. We expect that the
installed base of the hardware platforms listed above and sales
of related software and accessories will increase in the future.
The Companys gross margin in the 13 and 39 weeks
ended November 3, 2007 was impacted by the recent launches
of these new products and subsequent manufacturer-funded retail
price decreases for some of these products.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
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. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the
Form 10-K.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. In
July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized under FASB Statement
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48
addresses the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken
or expected to be taken, and also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The Company
adopted and applied FIN 48 under the transition provisions
to all of its income tax positions at the required effective
date of February 4, 2007, resulting in a $16.7 million
cumulative effect decrease to retained earnings and a
$7.9 million increase in prepaid taxes. For additional
information related to the Companys adoption of
FIN 48, see Note 7 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company includes purchasing, receiving and distribution
costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather
than cost of goods sold, in the statement of operations. For the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006, these purchasing, receiving and distribution costs
amounted to $10.4 million and $8.3 million,
respectively. For the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007
and October 28, 2006, these purchasing, receiving and
distribution costs amounted to $29.6 million and
$24.9 million, respectively. The Company includes
processing fees associated with purchases made by check and
credit cards in cost of sales, rather than selling, general and
administrative expenses, in the statement of operations. For the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and October 28,
2006, these processing fees amounted to $12.1 million and
$7.3 million, respectively. For the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006, these
processing fees amounted to $31.3 million and
$20.8 million, respectively. The net effect of the
Companys classifications is that its cost of sales as a
percentage of sales and its selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales differ from what they would
have been had the Companys treatment conformed with 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
differences is 0.1% of sales or less for all periods presented
herein.

13 weeks
ended November 3, 2007 compared with the 13 weeks
ended October 28, 2006
Sales increased by $599.6 million, or 59.3%, from
$1,011.6 million in the 13 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to $1,611.2 million in the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007. The increase in sales
was attributable to the comparable store sales increase of 46.3%
for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the addition of
non-comparable store sales from the 682 stores opened since
July 29, 2006 of approximately $113.6 million and
increases related to changes in foreign exchange rates of
$22.6 million. 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. The
comparable store sales increase was driven by strong sales of
the Nintendo Wii, Microsofts Xbox 360 and the Sony
PlayStation 3 and their related software and accessories,
including several strong video game titles, such as Halo 3
and Guitar Hero III.
New video game hardware sales increased $223.4 million, or
148.4%, from $150.5 million in the 13 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to $373.9 million in the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007, primarily due to the
sales of hardware units mentioned above, as well as the increase
in store count since October 2006. New video game software sales
increased $235.1 million, or 58.5%, from
$401.8 million in the 13 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to $636.9 million in the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007, primarily due to new stores added, sales
related to the new hardware platforms and a strong lineup of new
video game titles released during the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007. Used video game product sales also grew
due to an increase in store count and an increase in overall
demand for video game products following the launch of the new
hardware platforms, with an increase in sales of
$60.9 million, or 20.6%, from $295.4 million in the
13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $356.3 million
in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007. Sales of other
product categories grew 48.9%, or $80.2 million, from the
13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to the 13 weeks
ended November 3, 2007, due to the increase in store count
and the increase in new hardware platform accessories sales.
As a percentage of sales, used video game products and the other
product category decreased in the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 compared to the 13 weeks ended
October 28, 2006. This was due to the strong sales of new
video game hardware and software driven by the recent launches
of the new video game consoles mentioned earlier.
Cost of sales increased by $495.7 million, or 71.2%, from
$695.9 million in the 13 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to $1,191.6 million in the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 as a result of the increase in sales and
the changes in gross profit discussed below.
Gross profit increased by $103.9 million, or 32.9%, from
$315.7 million in the 13 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to $419.6 million in the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
decreased from 31.2% in the 13 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to 26.0% in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007.
The gross profit percentage decrease was caused primarily by the
increase in sales of new video game hardware as a
25
percentage of total sales in the third quarter of 2007. New
video game hardware typically carries a much lower margin than
software and accessories sales. Gross profit as a percentage of
sales was also impacted by a decrease in the excess of vendor
allowances received over marketing and advertising expenses.
Vendor allowances received during the 13 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 were abnormally high due to the launches
of the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3 and returned to
normal levels in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007.
In addition, net vendor allowances decreased due to higher
expenditures on marketing and advertising from the third quarter
of fiscal 2006 to the same period in fiscal 2007 in support of
the Companys branding campaign. These factors led to a
decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video
game hardware, new video game software and other products from
11.0%, 23.4% and 37.4% of sales, respectively, in the prior year
quarter to 7.4%, 20.7% and 35.8% of sales, respectively, in the
third quarter of 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on
used video game products remained comparable at 48.5% in the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 compared to 48.7% in
the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$48.5 million, or 20.2%, from $240.5 million in the
13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $289.0 million
in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007. This increase
was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of
stores in operation and related increases in store, distribution
and corporate office operating expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from
23.8% in the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to 17.9%
in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007. The decrease
in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales was primarily due to leveraging as a result of the
higher sales associated with the introduction of the new video
game systems and related software and accessories. Selling,
general and administrative expenses include $6.7 million
and $5.2 million in stock-based compensation expense for
the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 and
October 28, 2006, respectively, in accordance with
SFAS 123(R).
Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$6.4 million from $27.3 million for the 13 weeks
ended October 28, 2006 to $33.7 million in the
13 weeks ended November 3, 2007. This increase was
primarily due to capital expenditures associated with new stores
opened since October 28, 2006 and investments in management
information systems.
The Companys results of operations for the 13 weeks
ended October 28, 2006 include $2.9 million in
expenses associated with the merger of GameStop Holdings Corp.,
formerly known as GameStop Corp. (Historical
GameStop), and Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp.
(EB).
Interest income increased from $1.7 million in the
13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $2.6 million
in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 due primarily
to interest income earned on higher invested cash balances.
Interest expense decreased from $21.3 million in the
13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $14.5 million
in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 primarily due
to the retirement of $33.7 million of the Companys
senior notes and $270.0 million of the Companys
senior floating rate notes since October 28, 2006. Debt
extinguishment expense of $3.8 million was recognized in
the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 as a result of
premiums paid related to debt retirement and the recognition of
deferred financing fees and unamortized original issue discount.
Debt extinguishment expense of $3.4 million was incurred in
the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 for the loss
associated with the repurchase of $29.4 million of senior
notes and $30.0 million of senior floating rate notes.
Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended October 28,
2006 and the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007 was based
upon managements estimate of the Companys annualized
effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $8.4 million for
the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 compared to
$29.2 million for the 13 weeks ended November 3,
2007. For the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007, income
tax expense included $0.8 million for unrecognized tax
benefit, interest and penalties associated with our uncertain
tax positions, as prescribed by FIN 48.
The factors described above led to an increase in operating
earnings of $52.0 million, or 115.8%, from
$44.9 million in the 13 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to $96.9 million in the 13 weeks ended
November 3, 2007, and an increase in net earnings of
$38.4 million, or 282.4%, from $13.6 million in the
13 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $52.0 million
in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2007.
26
39 weeks
ended November 3, 2007 compared with the 39 weeks
ended October 28, 2006
Sales increased by $1,213.5 million, or 40.3%, from
$3,014.9 million in the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to $4,228.4 million in the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007. The increase in sales
was attributable to the comparable store sales increase of 30.2%
for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 versus the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006, the addition of
non-comparable store sales from the 838 stores opened since
January 29, 2006 of approximately $265.7 million and
increases related to changes in foreign exchange rates of
$52.2 million. The comparable store sales increase was
driven by continued strong sales of the Nintendo Wii,
Microsofts Xbox 360 and the Sony PlayStation 3, which
completed its worldwide launch during this fiscal year, and
their related software and accessories, including several strong
video game titles, such as Halo 3 and Guitar Hero
III.
New video game hardware sales increased $480.4 million, or
102.5%, from $468.7 million in the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to $949.1 million in the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007, primarily due to the
sales of hardware units mentioned above, as well as the increase
in store count since January 2006. New video game software sales
increased $452.9 million, or 39.8%, from
$1,138.8 million in the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to $1,591.7 million in the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007, primarily due to new
stores added, sales related to the new hardware platforms and a
strong lineup of new video game titles released during the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007. Used video game
product sales also grew due to an increase in store count and an
increase in overall demand for video game products following the
launch of the new hardware platforms, with an increase in sales
of $160.5 million, or 18.2%, from $879.5 million in
the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to
$1,040.0 million in the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007. Sales of other product categories grew
22.7%, or $119.7 million, from the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007, due to the increase in store count and
the increase in new hardware platform accessories sales.
As a percentage of sales, new video game software, used video
game products and the other products category decreased in the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 compared to the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006. This was due to the
strong sales of new video game hardware driven by the recent
launches of the new video game consoles mentioned earlier.
Cost of sales increased by $1,000.7 million, or 47.7%, from
$2,098.0 million in the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to $3,098.7 million in the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 as a result of the
increase in sales and the changes in gross profit discussed
below.
Gross profit increased by $212.6 million, or 23.2%, from
$917.0 million in the 39 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to $1,129.6 million in the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
decreased from 30.4% in the 39 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to 26.7% in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007
for the reasons described in the comparison of the 13-week
periods. These reasons combined led to a decrease in gross
profit as a percentage of sales on new video game hardware, new
video game software and other products from 9.3%, 21.8% and
35.2% of sales, respectively, in the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to 7.4%, 20.4% and 34.7% of sales,
respectively, for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales on used video game
products decreased from 49.9% in the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 to 49.0% in the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 due to increased promotional expenses and
higher refurbishment costs associated with an increase in
production of refurbished hardware platforms during fiscal 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$102.7 million, or 14.2%, from $721.8 million in the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $824.5 million
in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007. This increase
was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of
stores in operation and related increases in store, distribution
and corporate office operating expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from
23.9% in the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to 19.5%
in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007. The decrease
in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales was primarily due to leveraging as a result of the
higher sales associated with the introduction of the new video
game systems and synergies associated with the acquisition of
EB, including the shut-down of EBs corporate headquarters
and distribution center in the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include $20.3 million and $15.7 million in
stock-based compensation expense for the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively,
in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
27
Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$17.4 million from $79.5 million for the 39 weeks
ended October 28, 2006 to $96.9 million in the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007. This increase was
primarily due to capital expenditures associated with new stores
opened since October 28, 2006 and investments in management
information systems.
The Companys results of operations for the 39 weeks
ended October 28, 2006 include $6.8 million of
expenses associated with the merger of Historical GameStop and
EB.
Interest income increased from $5.4 million in the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $9.2 million
in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 due primarily
to interest income earned on higher invested cash balances.
Interest expense decreased from $64.6 million in the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $48.6 million
in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 primarily due
to the retirement of $33.7 million of the Companys
senior notes and $270.0 million of the Companys
senior floating rate notes since October 28, 2006. Debt
extinguishment expense of $12.6 million was recognized in
the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 as a result of
premiums paid related to debt retirement and the recognition of
deferred financing fees and unamortized original issue discount.
Debt extinguishment expense of $3.6 million was incurred in
the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 for the loss
associated with the repurchase of $36.3 million of senior
notes and $30.0 million of senior floating rate notes.
Income tax expense for the 39 weeks ended October 28,
2006 and the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 was based
upon managements estimate of the Companys annualized
effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $17.6 million
for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 compared to
$57.8 million for the 39 weeks ended November 3,
2007. For the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007, income
tax expense included $0.3 million for unrecognized tax
benefit, interest and penalties associated with our uncertain
tax positions, as prescribed by FIN 48.
The factors described above led to an increase in operating
earnings of $99.5 million, or 91.5%, from
$108.8 million in the 39 weeks ended October 28,
2006 to $208.3 million in the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007, and an increase in net earnings of
$70.1 million, or 246.8%, from $28.4 million in the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 to $98.5 million
in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007.

in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
Guam, the electronic commerce websites www.gamestop.com
and www.ebgames.com and Game Informer magazine. As
of November 3, 2007, the United States segment included
4,008 GameStop stores, compared to 3,705 stores on
October 28, 2006. Sales for the 13 and 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 increased 54.1% and 34.9%, respectively,
compared to the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006
as a result of increased sales at existing stores and the
opening of 420 new stores since July 29, 2006 and 525
stores since January 28, 2006, including 101 and 249 stores
in the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007,
respectively. Sales at existing stores increased due to strong
sales of the new hardware platform units, including the Nintendo
Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3 and their related software and
accessories, as well as Microsofts Xbox 360 hardware,
software and accessories, particularly new sales of Halo 3
released by Microsoft in September 2007. Segment operating
income for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007
increased by 81.6% and 60.2%, respectively, compared to the 13
and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 driven by strong
sales of the new hardware platforms and their related software
and accessories, leveraging of selling, general and
administrative expenses, and the recognition of synergies
related to the acquisition of EB, including the shut-down of
EBs corporate headquarters and distribution center.
Canada
Sales in the Canadian segment in the 13 and 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 increased 75.6% and 54.4%, respectively,
compared to the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28,
2006. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to
increased sales at existing stores and the additional sales at
the 16 and 18 stores opened since July 29, 2006 and
January 28, 2006, respectively. As of November 3,
2007, the Canadian segment had 277 stores compared to 265 stores
as of October 28, 2006. The increase in sales at existing
stores was driven by strong sales of the new hardware platform
units, including the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3 and
their related software and accessories, as well as
Microsofts Xbox 360 software and accessories, particularly
new software sales of Halo 3 released by Microsoft in
September 2007. Segment operating income for the 13 and
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 increased by 150.0%
and 125.9%, respectively, compared to the 13 and 39 weeks
ended October 28, 2006, driven by the increased sales
discussed above, the leveraging of the selling, general and
administrative expenses and the favorable impact of changes in
exchange rates since the prior year. For the 13 and 39 week
periods ended November 3, 2007, changes in exchange rates
when compared to the prior year had the effect of increasing
operating earnings by $0.9 million and $1.2 million,
respectively.
Australia
Segment results for Australia include retail operations in
Australia and New Zealand. As of November 3, 2007, the
Australian segment included 262 stores, compared to 208 at
October 28, 2006. Sales for the 13 and 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 increased 72.9% and 50.5%, respectively,
compared to the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28,
2006. The increase in sales was due to higher sales at existing
stores and the additional sales at the 66 and 86 stores opened
since July 29, 2006 and January 28, 2006,
respectively. The increase in sales at existing stores was due
to strong sales of the Sony PlayStation 3, which launched in
Australia and New Zealand during the first quarter of fiscal
2007, as well as strong sales of other video game hardware,
including the Nintendo Wii, and increased sales of handheld
video game systems during the third quarter and full fiscal year
of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The increased
hardware sales led to increases in sales in new video game
software, used video game products and accessories and other
products. Segment operating income in the 13 and 39 weeks
ended November 3, 2007 increased by 92.1% and 61.0%,
respectively, when compared to the 13 and 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006. The increase was driven by the increased
sales and related margin dollars discussed above, the leveraging
of selling, general and administrative expenses and the
favorable impact of changes in exchange rates since the prior
year. For the 13 and 39 week periods ended November 3,
2007, changes in exchange rates when compared to the prior year
had the effect of increasing operating earnings by
$0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
29
Europe
Segment results for Europe include retail operations in 12
European countries including Portugal, which commenced
operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. As of
November 3, 2007, the European segment operated 576 stores,
compared to 455 stores at October 28, 2006. For the 13 and
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007, European sales
increased 86.5% and 76.6%, respectively, compared to the 13 and
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006. The increase in sales
was primarily due to the increase in sales at existing stores
and the additional sales at the 180 and 209 stores opened since
July 29, 2006 and January 28, 2006, respectively.
These increases in store count were offset by store closings in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily in Spain, as part of
the implementation of the integration strategy of the
acquisition of EB. The increase in sales at existing stores was
driven by strong sales of the Sony PlayStation 3, which launched
in Europe during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, as well as
strong sales of other video game hardware, including the
Nintendo Wii, and increased sales of Microsofts Xbox 360
and handheld video game systems during the third quarter and
first three quarters of fiscal 2007 compared to the same periods
in fiscal 2006. The increased hardware sales led to increases in
sales in new video game software, used video game products and
accessories and other products.
The segment operating earnings in Europe for the 13 and
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 increased to
$5.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively, compared
to the operating losses in the 13 and 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 of $3.6 million and
$15.4 million, respectively. The increase in the operating
earnings was driven by the increase in sales and related margin
dollars discussed above, the leveraging of selling, general and
administrative expenses and the favorable impact of changes in
exchange rates since the prior year. For the 13 and 39 week
periods ended November 3, 2007, changes in exchange rates
when compared to the prior year had the effect of increasing
operating earnings by $0.7 million and $0.6 million,
respectively.
Seasonality
The Companys business, like that of many retailers, is
seasonal, with the major portion of the sales and operating
profit realized during the quarter which includes the holiday
selling season.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007, cash used
in operations was $131.2 million, compared to cash used in
operations of $135.9 million during the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006. In the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007, cash used in operations was primarily due
to an increase in merchandise inventories of
$488.8 million, and the excess tax benefits realized from
the exercise of stock-based awards of $92.6 million. These
cash outflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities of $209.7 million, net
income of $98.5 million, depreciation and amortization of
$97.6 million, a decrease in prepaid taxes of
$34.2 million and stock-based compensation expense of
$20.3 million. The increase in merchandise inventories and
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the
39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 was primarily due to
the increase in the number of stores in operation and purchases
made in anticipation of fourth quarter seasonal activity.
In the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006, cash used in
operations was primarily due to an increase in merchandise
inventories of $241.8 million; $38.6 million due to
the tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock-based awards
and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of
$17.0 million due to the timing of rent payments at the end
of the quarter versus the end of the previous fiscal year. These
cash outflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities of $37.2 million, net
income of $28.4 million, depreciation and amortization of
$79.7 million and stock-based compensation expense of
$15.7 million. The increase in merchandise inventories and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006 was primarily due to
the increase in the number of stores in operation and purchases
made in anticipation of fourth quarter seasonal activity.
Cash used in investing activities was $123.7 million and
$65.1 million during the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively.
During the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007,
$124.8 million of cash was used primarily to open 417 new
stores and to invest in information systems, offset by
$1.1 million of cash received related to the finalization
of the purchase price of Game Brands Inc. which was acquired
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. During the
39 weeks ended October 28, 2006, $84.4 million of
capital expenditures was primarily used
30
to invest in information and distribution systems in support of
the integration of the operations of EB and Historical GameStop
and to open 237 new stores. These investing activities were
offset by $19.3 million of cash provided by the sale of the
Pennsylvania corporate office and distribution center which were
acquired in the merger.
Cash used in financing activities was $130.7 million during
the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2007 compared to cash
used in financing activities during the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 of $19.8 million. The cash used in
financing activities for the 39 weeks ended
November 3, 2007 was primarily due to the repurchase of
$20.0 million and $250.0 million of principal value of
the Companys senior notes and senior floating rate notes,
respectively and the $12.2 million principal payment made
in October 2007 on the Barnes & Noble, Inc.
(Barnes & Noble) promissory note. These
cash outflows were offset by $64.3 million received for the
issuance of shares relating to stock option exercises and
$92.6 million for the realization of tax benefits relating
to the stock option exercises and vested restricted stock. The
cash used in financing activities for the 39 weeks ended
October 28, 2006 was primarily due to the repurchase of
$36.3 million and $30.0 million of principal value of
the Companys senior notes and senior floating rate notes,
respectively, and the repayment of long-term debt, including the
payoff of the $9.2 million mortgage associated with the
Pennsylvania distribution center sold in June 2006 and the
$12.2 million principal payment made in October 2006 on the
Barnes & Noble promissory note. These decreases in
cash flows during the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2006
were offset by $29.4 million received for the issuance of
shares relating to stock option exercises and $38.6 million
for the realization of tax benefits relating to the stock option
exercises and vested restricted stock.
The favorable impact of the fluctuations of the foreign exchange
rate effect on cash for the 39 weeks ended November 3,
2007, versus the comparable period in fiscal 2006 was driven
primarily by a stronger Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and
Euro which had percentage increases year-to-date of 21%, 16% and
11%, respectively, as compared to the U.S. dollar.
Future capital requirements will depend on the number of new
stores opened and the timing of those openings within a given
fiscal year. The Company opened 417 stores in the 39 weeks
ended November 3, 2007 and expects to open approximately
135 additional stores in the remainder of fiscal 2007. Within
the next 6 months, the Company intends to rebrand all of
the EB stores that do not have real estate restrictions to the
GameStop brand. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 are
projected to be approximately $140.0 million to
$150.0 million, to be used primarily to fund new store
openings, rebrand EB stores and invest in distribution and
information systems in support of operations.
In October 2005, in connection with the merger, the Company
entered into a five-year, $400 million Credit Agreement
(the Revolver), including a $50 million letter
of credit sub-limit, secured by the assets of the Company and
its U.S. subsidiaries. The Revolver places certain
restrictions on the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries,
including limitations on asset sales, additional liens and the
incurrence of additional indebtedness.
In April 2007, the Company amended the Revolver to extend the
maturity date from October 11, 2010 to April 25, 2012,
reduce the LIBO interest rate margin, reduce and fix the rate of
the unused commitment fee and modify or delete certain other
covenants.
The availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing
base which allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of
(x) approximately 70% of eligible inventory and
(y) 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each
case plus 85% of eligible credit card receivables, net of
certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available
to borrow by their face value. The Companys ability to pay
cash dividends, redeem options, and repurchase shares is
generally prohibited, except that if availability under the
Revolver is, or will be after any such payment, equal to or
greater than 25% of the borrowing base, the Company may
repurchase its capital stock and pay cash dividends. In
addition, in the event that credit extensions under the Revolver
at any time exceed 80% of the lesser of the total commitment or
the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed
charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.5:1.0.
The interest rate on the Revolver is variable and, at the
Companys option, is calculated by applying a margin of
(1) 0.0% to 0.25% above the higher of the prime rate of the
administrative agent or the federal funds effective rate plus
0.50% or (2) 1.00% to 1.50% above the LIBO rate. The
applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the
Companys consolidated leverage ratio. As of
November 3, 2007, the applicable margin was 0.0% for prime
31
rate loans and 1.25% for LIBO rate loans. In addition, the
Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any
unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver.
As of November 3, 2007, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the Revolver and letters of credit outstanding
totaled $5.7 million.
In September 2007, the Companys Luxembourg subsidiary
entered into a discretionary, $20 million Uncommitted Line
of Credit (the Line of Credit) with Bank of America.
There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of
America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice.
The Line of Credit will be made available to the Companys
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 November 3, 2007, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees
outstanding were minimal.
On September 28, 2005, the Company, along with GameStop,
Inc. as co-issuer (together with the Company, the
Issuers), completed the offering of
U.S. $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior
Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the Senior Floating Rate
Notes) and U.S. $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
(the Indenture), dated September 28, 2005, by
and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto,
and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee).
Concurrently with the consummation of the merger on
October 8, 2005, EB and its direct and indirect
U.S. wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the EB
Guarantors) became subsidiaries of the Company and entered
into a First Supplemental Indenture, dated October 8, 2005,
by and among the Issuers, the EB Guarantors and the Trustee,
pursuant to which the EB Guarantors assumed all the obligations
of a subsidiary guarantor under the Notes and the Indenture. The
net proceeds of the offering were used to pay the cash portion
of the merger consideration paid to the stockholders of EB in
connection with the merger.
The offering of the Notes was conducted in a private transaction
under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), and in transactions
outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S
under the Securities Act. In April 2006, the Company filed a
registration statement on
Form S-4
in order to register new notes (the New Notes) with
the same terms and conditions as the Notes in order to
facilitate an exchange of the New Notes for the Notes. This
registration statement on
Form S-4
was declared effective by the SEC in May 2006 and the Company
commenced an exchange offer to exchange the New Notes for the
Notes. This exchange offer was completed in June 2006 with 100%
participation.
In November 2006, Citibank, N.A. resigned as Trustee for the
Notes and Wilmington Trust Company was appointed as the new
Trustee for the Notes.
The Senior Notes bear interest at 8.0% per annum, mature on
October 1, 2012 and were priced at 98.688%, resulting in a
discount at the time of issue of $8.5 million. The discount
is being amortized using the effective interest method. As of
November 3, 2007, the unamortized original issue discount
was $5.8 million. The rate of interest on the Senior
Floating Rate Notes prior to their redemption on October 1,
2007 was 9.2350% per annum.
The Issuers pay interest on the Senior Notes semi-annually, in
arrears, every April 1 and October 1, to holders of record
on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, and
at maturity.
The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants
customary for such financings, including, among other things,
limitations on (1) the incurrence of additional debt,
(2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) sale and
leaseback transactions and (5) asset sales. Events of
default provided for in the Indenture include, among other
things, failure to pay interest or principal on the Notes, other
breaches of covenants in the Indenture, and certain events of
bankruptcy and insolvency.
As of November 3, 2007, the Company was in compliance with
all covenants associated with the Revolver and the Indenture.
Under certain conditions, the Issuers may on any one or more
occasions prior to maturity redeem up to 100% of the aggregate
principal amount of Senior Notes issued under the Indenture at
redemption prices at or in excess of
32
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption date. The circumstances
which would limit the percentage of the Notes which may be
redeemed or which would require the Company to pay a premium in
excess of 100% of the principal amount are defined in the
Indenture. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the
Indenture), the Issuers are required to offer to purchase all of
the Notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase.
The Issuers may acquire Senior Notes by means other than
redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases,
negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with
applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisitions do not
otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.
In May 2006, the Company announced that its board of directors
authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of
$100 million of its Senior Floating Rate Notes and Senior
Notes. As of October 28, 2006, the Company had repurchased
$36.3 million of its Senior Notes and $30.0 million of
its Senior Floating Rate Notes. As of February 3, 2007, the
end of its most recent fiscal year, the Company had repurchased
the maximum authorized amount, having acquired $50 million
of its Senior Notes and $50 million of its Senior Floating
Rate Notes, and delivered the Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The associated loss on retirement of this debt was
$3.4 million and $3.6 million for the 13 and
39 week periods ended October 28, 2006, respectively,
which consisted of the premium paid to retire the Notes and the
recognition of the deferred financing fees and the original
issue discount on the Notes.
On February 9, 2007, the Company announced that its board
of directors authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of an
additional $150 million of its Senior Notes and Senior
Floating Rate Notes. The timing and amount of the repurchases
were determined by the Companys management based on their
evaluation of market conditions and other factors. As of
August 4, 2007, the Company had repurchased the additional
$150 million of the Notes, having acquired $20 million
of its Senior Notes and $130 million of its Senior Floating
Rate Notes, and delivered the Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The associated loss on the retirement of this debt
was $8.8 million for the 39 week period ended
November 3, 2007 which consists of the premium paid to
retire the Notes and the recognition of the deferred financing
fees and the original issue discount on the Notes.
On June 28, 2007, the Company announced that its board of
directors authorized the redemption of the remaining
$120 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes outstanding. On
July 12, 2007, the Issuers notified the Trustee of their
intent to redeem the Notes on October 1, 2007. The Company
redeemed the Senior Floating Rate Notes on October 1, 2007
at the redemption price specified by the Senior Floating Rate
Notes of 102.0%, plus all accrued and unpaid interest through
the redemption date. The Company incurred a one-time pre-tax
charge of $3.8 million associated with the redemption,
which represents a $2.4 million redemption premium and
$1.4 million to recognize unamortized deferred financing
costs.
In October 2004, Historical GameStop issued a promissory note in
favor of Barnes & Noble in the principal amount of
$74.0 million in connection with the repurchase of
Historical GameStops common stock held by
Barnes & Noble. The note was unsecured and bore
interest at 5.5% per annum, payable with each principal
installment. Scheduled principal payments of $37.5 million,
$12.2 million and $12.2 million were made in January
2005, October 2005 and October 2006, respectively, as required
by the promissory note. The final payment of $12.2 million,
satisfying the promissory note in full, was made in October 2007.
Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available
cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and
funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund
our operations, required payments on the Senior Notes, store
expansion and remodeling activities and corporate capital
expenditure programs for at least the next 12 months.
Recent
Accounting Policies
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157), which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies
to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements. The Company will adopt SFAS 157 on
February 3, 2008 as required. The adoption of SFAS 157
is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys
financial condition and results of operations.
33
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS 159). This statement permits entities
the option to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value at specified election dates.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159
will be effective beginning February 3, 2008. The Company
is currently assessing the potential impact, if any, of the
adoption of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial
statements.
Disclosure
Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This report on
Form 10-Q
and other oral and written statements made by the Company to the
public contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange
Act). The forward-looking statements involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause our
actual results, performance, achievements or industry results to
be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
our reliance on suppliers and vendors for sufficient quantities
of their products and for new product releases;
|
|
|
|
economic conditions affecting the video game industry;
|
|
|
|
the competitive environment in the video game industry;
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
other factors described in the

including those set forth under the caption Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
|
In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by
the use of terms such as anticipates,
believes, continues, could,
estimates, expects, intends,
may, plans, potential,
predicts, pro forma, should,
seeks, will or similar expressions.
These statements are only predictions based on current
expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our
industrys actual results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise after the date of this
Form 10-Q.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking
events and circumstances contained in this
Form 10-Q
may not occur, causing actual results to differ materially from
those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
Interest
Rate Exposure
We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest
rate exposure. We limit our interest rate risks by investing our
excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments
with a maturity of one year or less. In addition, the Senior
Notes outstanding issued in connection with the merger carry a
fixed interest rate. We do not expect any material losses from
our invested cash balances, and we believe that our interest
rate exposure is modest.
34
Foreign
Currency Risk
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
(SFAS 133), as amended. SFAS 133 requires
that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet
at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are
recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as
part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, depending on the type
of hedge transaction.
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.
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. The aggregate
fair value of the Foreign Currency Contracts as of
November 3, 2007 was a liability of $5.2 million. A
hypothetical strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign
exchange rates underlying the Foreign Currency Contracts from
the market rate as of November 3, 2007 would result in a
(loss) or gain in value of the forwards, options and swaps of
($9.8 million) or $8.0 million, respectively.

Controls
and Procedures
|
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company
conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that
the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are
effective at the reasonable assurance level. 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
Companys periodic reports.
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
Changes in Internal Controls
|
There was no change in the Companys 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 Companys most recently
completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
|
Legal
Proceedings
|
On February 14, 2005, and as amended, Steve Strickland, as
personal representative of the Estate of Arnold Strickland,
deceased, Henry Mealer, as personal representative of the Estate
of Ace Mealer, deceased, and Willie Crump, as personal
representative of the Estate of James Crump, deceased, filed a
wrongful death lawsuit against GameStop, Sony, Take-Two
Interactive, Rock Star Games and Wal-Mart (collectively, the
Defendants) and Devin Moore in the Circuit Court of
Fayette County, Alabama, alleging that Defendants actions
in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supplying Defendant
Moore with violent video games were negligent and contributed to
Defendant Moore killing Arnold Strickland, Ace Mealer and James
Crump. Plaintiffs are seeking damages of $600 million under
the Alabama wrongful death statute and punitive damages.
GameStop and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend
this action. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case
on various grounds, which was heard in November 2005 and was
denied. The Defendants appealed the denial of the motion to
dismiss and on March 24, 2006, the Alabama Supreme Court
denied the Defendants application. Discovery is currently
stayed as plaintiffs counsel has received leave of court
to withdraw. Plaintiffs are essentially without counsel and have
been given 90 days from October 14, 2007 to find new
counsel. Mr. Moore was found guilty of capital murder in a
35
criminal trial in Alabama and was sentenced to death in August
2005. We do not believe there is sufficient information to
estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting from
the lawsuit.
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is, from
time to time, subject to various other legal proceedings.
Management does not believe that any such other legal
proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial
condition or results of operations.
In addition to the other information set forth in this
Form 10-Q,
you should carefully consider the factors discussed under
Risk Factors in Item 1A. Risk
Factors in our
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 filed with the
SEC on April 4, 2007. These risks could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations. The risks described in our
Form 10-K
have not changed materially, however, they are not the only
risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by
additional factors that are not presently known to us or by
factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.
