GAMESTOP
CORP.
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies,
GameStop, we, our, or the
Company), a Delaware corporation, 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 unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for
interim financial information and do not include all disclosures
required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Companys annual report on
Form 10-K
for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2008 (fiscal
2007). The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In
preparing these financial statements, management has made its
best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the
financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality.
Changes in the estimates and assumptions used by management
could have 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 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 are
not indicative of the results to be expected for the
52 weeks ending January 31, 2009 (fiscal
2008).
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior
period data to the current interim period presentation.

Change in
Accounting Principles
|
Effective February 3, 2008, the Company implemented
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157),
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for its
measurement and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The Company elected to implement this Statement
with the one-year deferral permitted by FASB Staff Position
(FSP)
157-2 for
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at
fair value, except those that are recognized or disclosed on a
recurring basis (at least annually). We do not expect any
significant impact to our consolidated financial statements when
we implement SFAS 157 for these assets and liabilities.
Due to our election under
FSP 157-2,
for fiscal 2008, SFAS 157 applies to our foreign exchange
contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps
(together, the Foreign Currency Contracts),
Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender
value and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities
that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods
subsequent to initial recognition. The implementation of
SFAS 157 did not result in a significant change in the
method of calculating fair value of assets or liabilities. The
primary impact from adoption was additional disclosures.
SFAS 157 requires disclosures that categorize assets and
liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different
levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in
the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs
are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly through market-
6
GAMESTOP
CORP.
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs
for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about
pricing by market participants.
We value our Foreign Currency Contracts, Company-owned life
insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain
nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on
Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market
news services, such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal,
and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions,
including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors,
and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well
as other relevant economic measures. When appropriate,
valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations,
generally based on available market evidence.
The following table provides the fair value of our financial
assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and
recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
August 2, 2008:

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 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 specific election dates. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has
been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 was
effective for our Company on February 3, 2008. The adoption
of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

Business
Combinations and Goodwill
|
On April 5, 2008, the Company purchased all the outstanding
stock of Free Record Shop Norway AS, a Norwegian private limited
liability company (FRS), for $21,006, net of cash
acquired. FRS operates 49 record stores in Norway and also
operates office and warehouse facilities in Oslo, Norway. The
Company is converting these stores into video game stores with
an inventory assortment similar to its other stores in Norway.
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 $17,369, recorded as goodwill.
In 2003, the Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in
GameStop Group Limited which operates stores in Ireland and the
United Kingdom. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the
minority interest owners of the remaining 49% have the ability
to require the Company to purchase their remaining shares in
incremental percentages at a price to be determined based
partially on the Companys price to earnings ratio and
GameStop Group Limiteds earnings. On May 21, 2008,
the minority interest owners exercised their right to sell
one-third of their shares, or approximately 16% of GameStop
Group Limited, to the Company under the terms of the original
purchase agreement for $27,383. The transaction was completed in
June 2008 and recorded in accordance with the provisions of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
Business Acquisitions.

GAMESTOP

During July 2008, the Company purchased certain assets and
website operations from The Gamesman Limited, a video game and
entertainment software retailer, including eight stores in New
Zealand for $1,910. 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 $605,
recorded as goodwill.
The pro forma effect assuming the above acquisitions were made
at the beginning of fiscal 2007 is not material to the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
|
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 to purchase common stock
granted during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007. The options to purchase common stock
granted during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007 were 1,362 and 939, respectively, with a
weighted-average fair value estimated at $15.45 and $10.16 per
share, respectively, using the following assumptions:

13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and 7 shares of
restricted stock were granted during the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 with a fair market value of $39.83 per
share. During the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007, the Company granted 534 shares and
964 shares, respectively, of restricted stock. The shares
had a fair market value of $49.95 and $26.78 per share,
respectively, and vest in equal installments over three years.
During the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007, the Company included compensation expense
relating to the restricted share grants in the amount of $4,304
and $2,789, respectively, in selling, general and administrative

Computation
of Net Earnings per Common Share
|
On February 7, 2007, 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, as of 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
Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. A

In October 2005, in connection with the Companys merger
with Electronics Boutique Holdings Corp. (EB) (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 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 August 2,
2008, the applicable margin was 0.0% for prime rate loans and
1.00% 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 August 2, 2008,
there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and
letters of credit outstanding totaled $7,271.
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
August 2, 2008, there was $3,730 of cash overdrafts
outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees
outstanding totaled $4,874.
In September 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
dated September 28, 2005 (the Indenture), by
and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto,
and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee). 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 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
August 2, 2008, the unamortized original issue discount was
$4,780. 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 August 2, 2008, 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.

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. As of August 4, 2007, the Company had repurchased
the maximum authorized amount, 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 $2,027 and $8,751
for the 13 and 26 week periods ended August 4, 2007,
respectively, 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. 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.
On February 7, 2008, the Company announced that its Board
of Directors authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of an
additional $130,000 of its Senior Notes. The timing and amount
of the repurchases will be determined by the Companys
management based on their evaluation of market conditions and
other factors. In addition, the repurchases may be suspended or
discontinued at any time. As of August 2, 2008, the Company
had repurchased $30,000 of its Senior Notes pursuant to this new
authorization and delivered the Senior Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The associated loss on retirement of debt is
$2,331, which consists of the premium paid to retire the Senior
Notes and the write-off of the deferred financing fees and the
original issue discount on the Senior Notes.
During October 2007, the Company paid the final principal
payment of $12,173 to Barnes & Noble, Inc.

for years before and including the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2004. The Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) commenced an examination of the Companys
U.S. income tax returns for the fiscal years ended
January 29, 2005 and January 28, 2006 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 that is anticipated to be completed in
2008. The Company does not anticipate any adjustments that would
result in a material impact on its condensed consolidated
financial statements.
For the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007, the Company recognized an increase of $3
and a decrease of $1,649 in the liability for unrecognized tax
benefits, respectively, and an increase of $433 and $377 for
interest and penalties, respectively. For the 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007, the Company
recognized a decrease of $657 and $1,388 in the liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, and an increase of $757
and $819 for interest and penalties, respectively. As of
August 2, 2008, the gross amount of unrecognized tax
benefits, interest and penalties was $24,325. The total amount
of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect
the effective tax rate was $19,895 as of August 2, 2008.
The Company had $4,430 in interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits accrued as of August 2, 2008.
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 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007 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 the Company 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. During
the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 4,
2007, these charges amounted to $290 and $255, respectively.
During the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007, these charges amounted to $584 and $487,
respectively.
Until June 2005, 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
GameStop based upon total payroll expense, property and
equipment, and insurance claim history of 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 the
Company will be allocated to the Company. During the
13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007,
these allocated charges amounted to $31 and $69, respectively.
During the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007, these allocated charges amounted to $104
and $135, respectively.
In October 2004, the Companys Board of Directors
authorized a repurchase of the common stock held by
Barnes & Noble. The Company 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. The Company 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 and 26 weeks ended August 4, 2007
totaled $169 and $338, respectively.
In May 2005, the Company entered into an arrangement with
Barnes & Noble under which www.gamestop.com
became 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 to Barnes &
Noble was $72 and $45 for the 13 weeks ended August 2,
2008 and August 4, 2007, respectively, and $143 and $99 for
the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 4,
2007, respectively.

Commitments
and 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, 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. Moore was found guilty
of capital murder in a criminal trial and was sentenced to death
in August 2005.
Plaintiffs new Alabama counsel has named a new expert, a
psychiatrist who testified at the criminal trial on behalf of
the criminal defendant, who will opine (if allowed) that violent
video games were a substantial factor in causing the murders.
This same testimony from this same expert was excluded in the
criminal trial from the same judge hearing this case. The motion
to bar this testimony in this case is set for October 30,
2008. The ruling on this motion will have an effect on whether
the case is able to proceed. There is no current trial date. The
Company does 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 the Companys 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.

ITEM 2.
|
Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
|
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the information contained in our consolidated financial
statements, including the notes thereto. Statements regarding
future economic performance, managements plans and
objectives, and any statements concerning assumptions related to
the foregoing contained in Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
constitute forward-looking statements. Certain factors, which
may cause actual results to vary materially from these
forward-looking statements, accompany such statements or appear
in GameStops Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2008 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on
April 2, 2008 (the
Form 10-K),
including the factors disclosed under Item 1A. Risk
Factors.
General
GameStop Corp. (together with its predecessor companies,
GameStop, we, our, 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 August 2, 2008, we
operated 5,557 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 industrys largest multi-platform
video game magazine in the United States based on circulation.
Our fiscal year is composed of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the
Saturday closest to January 31. The fiscal years ending
January 31, 2009 (fiscal 2008) and ended
February 2, 2008 (fiscal 2007) consist of
52 weeks.
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, following the introduction of new video
game platforms, sales of new video game hardware increase as a
percentage of total sales in the first full year following
introduction. As video game platforms mature, the sales mix
attributable to complementary video game software and
accessories, which generate higher gross margins, generally
increases in the subsequent years. The net effect is generally a
decline in gross margins in the first full year following new
platform releases and an increase in gross margins in the years
subsequent to the first full year following the launch period.
Unit sales of maturing video game platforms are typically also
driven by manufacturer-funded retail price reductions, further
driving sales of related software and accessories. 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
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007
was impacted by the recent launches of these new products and
manufacturer-funded retail price reductions on certain of these
products.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP) for interim
financial information and do not include all disclosures
required under GAAP for complete financial statements.
Preparation of these statements requires management to make
judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a
significant impact on amounts reported in these financial
statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies and
the means by which we develop estimates thereon, see
Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2007
Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

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 August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007,
these purchasing, receiving and distribution costs amounted to
$13.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively. For the
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007,
these purchasing, receiving and distribution costs amounted to
$25.9 million and $19.4 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 August 2, 2008 and
August 4, 2007, these processing fees amounted to
$13.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively. For the
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007,
these processing fees amounted to $26.5 million and
$19.2 million, respectively. As a result of these
classifications, our gross margins are not comparable to those
retailers that include purchasing, receiving and distribution
costs in cost of sales and include processing fees associated
with purchases made by check and credit cards in selling,
general and administrative expenses. The reclassifications had
no material net effect on the 13 weeks and 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007.

13 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 compared with the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007
Sales increased by $466.2 million, or 34.8%, from
$1,338.2 million in the 13 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $1,804.4 million in the 13 weeks ended
August 2, 2008. The increase in sales was attributable to
the comparable store sales increase of 20.0% for the second
quarter of fiscal 2008, the addition of non-comparable store
sales from the 835 stores opened since May 5, 2007 of
approximately $268.8 million and increases related to
changes in foreign exchange rates of $36.0 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 new video game software which is
typical as the installed base of the new hardware platforms
increases in the years following their launch. The new software
sales increase was spread across all platforms and included
several strong video game titles, such as Wii Fit, Metal Gear
Solid 4, and Grand Theft Auto IV.
New video game hardware sales increased $85.9 million, or
29.2%, from $293.8 million in the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 to $379.7 million in the 13 weeks
ended August 2, 2008, primarily due to continued expansion
of the installed base of the new hardware platforms and the
increase in store count since the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 2007. New video game software sales increased
$210.8 million, or 42.7%, from $494.2 million in the
13 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $705.0 million
in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008, primarily due to
the strong sales of new video game titles and the increased
sales related to the new hardware platforms discussed above, as
well as the new stores added since last year. Used video game
product sales also grew due to an increase in store count and an
increase in the availability of hardware and software associated
with the new hardware platforms as those platforms age and
expand. Used video game product sales increased
$114.2 million, or 32.0%, from $357.3 million in the
13 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $471.5 million
in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008. Sales of other
product categories grew 28.7%, or $55.3 million, from the
13 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to the 13 weeks
ended August 2, 2008, due to the increase in store count
and the increase in new hardware platform accessories sales.
As a percentage of sales, new video game hardware, used video
game products and the other product category decreased in the
13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 compared to the
13 weeks ended August 4, 2007. This was due to the
strong sales of new video game software driven by the continued
expansion of the installed base of the new video game consoles
mentioned earlier and a strong lineup of video game titles
released in the quarter.
Cost of sales increased by $343.4 million, or 35.2%, from
$976.9 million in the 13 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $1,320.3 million in the 13 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 as a result of the increase in sales and the
changes in gross profit discussed below.
Gross profit increased by $122.8 million, or 34.0%, from
$361.3 million in the 13 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $484.1 million in the 13 weeks ended
August 2, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
decreased slightly from 27.0% in the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 to 26.8% in the 13 weeks ended
August 2, 2008. Gross profit as a
25
percentage of sales on new video game hardware decreased from
7.3% in the prior year quarter to 6.0% of sales this quarter due
to a change in the mix of hardware units sold and a reduction in
warranty attachment sales during the second quarter of fiscal
2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on used video game
products increased from 48.5% in the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 to 49.7% in the 13 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 due to fewer promotional activities during
the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$69.3 million, or 24.9%, from $278.4 million in the
13 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $347.7 million
in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008. This increase
was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of
stores in operation and the related increases in store,
distribution and corporate office operating expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased from 20.8% in the 13 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to 19.3% in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008.
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 discussed above. Included in selling,
general and administrative expenses is $8.3 million and
$6.7 million in stock-based compensation expense for the
13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and August 4, 2007,
respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$4.2 million from $32.1 million for the 13 weeks
ended August 4, 2007 to $36.3 million in the
13 weeks ended August 2, 2008. This increase was
primarily due to capital expenditures associated with the
opening of 125 new stores during the second quarter of fiscal
2008 and investments in management information systems.
Interest income resulting from the investment of excess cash
balances decreased from $2.7 million in the 13 weeks
ended August 4, 2007 to $1.6 million in the
13 weeks ended August 2, 2008. Interest expense
decreased from $16.1 million in the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 to $10.8 million in the 13 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 primarily due to the retirement of
$30 million of the Companys senior notes and
$120 million of the Companys senior floating rate
notes since August 4, 2007. Debt extinguishment expense of
$2.0 million was recognized in the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 as a result of premiums paid related to debt
retirement and the write-off of deferred financing fees and
unamortized original issue discount.
Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended August 4,
2007 and the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 was based
upon managements estimate of the Companys annualized
effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $13.6 million
for the 13 weeks ended August 4, 2007 compared to
$33.7 million for the 13 weeks ended August 2,
2008.
The factors described above led to an increase in operating
earnings of $49.4 million, or 97.4%, from
$50.7 million in the 13 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $100.1 million in the 13 weeks ended
August 2, 2008, and an increase in net earnings of
$35.4 million, or 162.4%, from $21.8 million in the
13 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $57.2 million in
the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008.
26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 compared with the 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007
Sales increased by $1,000.8 million, or 38.2%, from
$2,617.2 million in the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $3,618.0 million in the 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008. The increase in sales was attributable to
the comparable store sales increase of 23.5% for the
26 week-period ended August 2, 2008, the addition of
non-comparable store sales from the 921 stores opened since
February 3, 2007 of approximately $306.2 million, and
increases related to changes in foreign exchange rates of
$77.1 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
new video game software, which is typical as the installed base
of the new hardware platforms increases in the years following
their launch.
New video game hardware sales increased $143.5 million, or
24.9%, from $575.2 million in the 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 to $718.7 million in the 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008, primarily due to continued expansion
of the installed base of the new hardware platforms and the
increase in store count since the end of fiscal 2007. New video
game software sales increased $543.0 million, or 56.9%,
from $954.8 million in the 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 to $1,497.8 million in the
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008, primarily due to the
strong sales of new video game titles and the increased sales
related to the new hardware platforms, as well as the new stores
added since the end of fiscal 2007. Used video game product
sales also grew primarily due to an increase in store count and
26
an increase in the availability of hardware and software
associated with the new hardware platforms as those platforms
age and expand. Used video game product sales increased
$203.5 million, or 29.8%, from $683.7 million in the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $887.2 million
in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. Sales of other
product categories grew 27.5%, or $110.8 million, from the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to the 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008, due to the increase in store count
and the increase in new hardware platform accessories sales.
As a percentage of sales, new video game hardware, used video
game products and the other product category decreased in the
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 compared to the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007. This was due to the
strong sales of new video game software driven by the continued
expansion of the installed base of the new video game consoles
mentioned earlier and a strong lineup of video game titles in
fiscal 2008.
Cost of sales increased by $753.4 million, or 39.5%, from
$1,907.1 million in the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $2,660.5 million in the 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 as a result of the increase in sales and the
changes in gross profit discussed below.
Gross profit increased by $247.4 million, or 34.8%, from
$710.1 million in the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $957.5 million in the 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
decreased from 27.1% in the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to 26.5% in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008.
The gross profit percentage decrease was caused primarily by the
increase in sales of new video game software as a percentage of
total sales in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008,
which resulted in a decrease in sales of higher margin used
video game products and other products as a percentage of total
sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video game
hardware decreased from 7.5% of sales for the 26 weeks
ended August 4, 2007 to 6.0% of sales for the 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 due to a change in the mix of hardware
units sold and a reduction in warranty attachment sales during
fiscal 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales on new video
game software, used video game products and the other product
category had no significant change from the same period in the
prior fiscal year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$140.8 million, or 26.3%, from $535.6 million in the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $676.4 million
in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. This increase
was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of
stores in operation and the related increases in store,
distribution and corporate office operating expenses during
fiscal 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales decreased from 20.4% in the 26 weeks
ended August 4, 2007 to 18.7% in the 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008. 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 discussed
above. Selling, general and administrative expenses include
$20.1 million and $13.6 million in stock-based
compensation expense for the 26 weeks ended August 2,
2008 and August 4, 2007, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$7.9 million from $63.2 million for the 26 weeks
ended August 4, 2007 to $71.1 million in the
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008. This increase was
primarily due to capital expenditures associated with the
opening of 335 new stores during the 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 and investments in management information
systems.
Interest income remained at $6.6 million for both 26-week
periods ended August 4, 2007 and August 2, 2008.
Interest expense decreased from $34.0 million in the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $24.3 million in
the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 primarily due to the
retirement of $120 million of the Companys senior
floating rate notes and $30 million of the Companys
senior notes since August 4, 2007. Debt extinguishment
expense of $2.3 million was recognized in the 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 as a result of premiums paid related
to debt retirement and the write-off of deferred financing fees
and unamortized original issue discount.
Income tax expense for the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 and the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 was based
upon managements estimate of the Companys annualized
effective tax rate. Income tax expense was $28.6 million
for the 26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 compared to
$70.7 million for the 26 weeks ended August 2,
2008.
The factors described above led to an increase in operating
earnings of $98.6 million, or 88.5%, from
$111.4 million in the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to $210.0 million in the 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008, and an increase in net earnings of
$72.8 million, or 156.6%, from $46.5 million in the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 to $119.3 million
in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008.

United
States
Segment results for the United States include retail operations
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 August 2, 2008, the United States segment included 4,180
GameStop stores, compared to 3,918 on August 4, 2007. Sales
for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 increased
28.3% and 32.7%, respectively, compared to the 13 and
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 as a result of increased
sales at existing stores and the opening of 436 new stores since
May 5, 2007 and 482 stores since February 3, 2007,
including 68 and 154 stores in the 13 and 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008, respectively. Sales at existing stores
increased due to strong sales of new video game software and
used video game products which is typical in the years following
the release of new hardware platforms. As the installed base of
the new hardware platforms expands, more new software titles
become available and trade-ins of used video game products
applied toward the purchase of new video games lead to increased
sales of new and used video game products. Segment operating
income for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008
increased by 116.3% and 91.1%, respectively, compared to the 13
and 26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 driven by strong
sales of new video game software and used video game products
and their related accessories, as well as the leveraging of
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Canada
Sales in the Canadian segment in the 13 and 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 increased 35.6% and 47.9%, respectively,
compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 4, 2007.
The increase in sales was primarily attributable to increased
sales at existing stores and the additional sales at the 45 and
49 stores opened since May 5, 2007 and February 3,
2007, respectively. As of August 2, 2008, the Canadian
segment had 316 stores compared to 272 stores at August 4,
2007. The increase in sales at existing stores was driven by
strong sales of new video game software related to the new
hardware platforms. Segment operating income for the 13 and
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 increased by 3.6% and
25.0%, respectively, compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 driven by the increased sales discussed
above and 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 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008,
28
changes in exchange rates when compared to the prior year had
the effect of increasing operating earnings by $0.3 million
and $1.1 million, respectively.
Australia
Segment results for Australia include retail operations in
Australia and New Zealand. As of August 2, 2008, the
Australian segment included 316 stores, compared to 243 at
August 4, 2007. Sales for the 13 and 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 increased 57.8% and 51.4%, respectively,
compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 4, 2007.
The increase in sales was due to higher sales at existing stores
and the additional sales at the 83 and 98 stores opened since
May 5, 2007 and February 3, 2007, respectively. The
increase in sales at existing stores was primarily due to a
strong software title lineup and the availability of the new
hardware platforms in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 when
compared to the prior fiscal year following the launch of the
Sony PlayStation 3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In
addition, the new hardware platforms drove an increase in used
product sales as the installed base of the platforms increased
and more software became available. Segment operating income in
the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 increased by
71.3% and 72.0%, respectively, when compared to the 13 and
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007. The increase was driven
by the increased sales discussed above and the leveraging of
selling, general and administrative expenses. For the 13 and
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008, changes in exchange
rates when compared to the prior year had the effect of
increasing operating earnings by $1.5 million and
$2.4 million, respectively.
Europe
Segment results for Europe include retail operations in 12
European countries. As of August 2, 2008, the European
segment operated 745 stores compared to 521 stores as of
August 4, 2007. For the 13 and 26 weeks ended
August 2, 2008, European sales increased 68.9% and 67.8%,
respectively, compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007. The increase in sales was primarily due to
the increase in sales at existing stores and the additional
sales at the 271 and 292 stores opened since May 5, 2007
and February 3, 2007, respectively, including the 49 stores
acquired from Free Record Shop Norway AS, a Norwegian private
limited liability company (FRS), in Norway during
the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in sales at
existing stores was primarily due to a strong software title
lineup and the availability of the new hardware platforms in the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 when compared to the prior fiscal
year following the launch of the Sony PlayStation 3 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007. In addition, the new hardware platforms
drove an increase in used product sales as the installed base of
the platforms increased and more software became available.
The segment operating loss in Europe was $1.7 million in
the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 compared to the
operating loss in the 13 weeks ended August 4, 2007 of
$0.8 million. The segment operating income in Europe for
the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 was
$1.8 million compared to the operating loss in the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007 of $2.0 million.
The increase in the operating loss for the 13 weeks ended
August 2, 2008 compared to the 13 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 was primarily due to the increased selling,
general and administrative expenses associated with the
operation and conversion of the FRS stores to the GameStop
format. The increase in operating earnings in the 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 compared to the 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 was due to the increase in sales and related
margin, offset by the increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses discussed for this quarter.
In addition, for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008,
changes in exchange rates when compared to the prior year had
the effect of increasing operating earnings by
$0.7 million. There was no material change in operating
earnings related to the effect of the exchange rates for the
13 weeks ended August 2, 2008 when compared to the
13 weeks ended August 4, 2007.
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
Cash
Flows
During the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008, cash used in
operations was $210.2 million, compared to cash used in
operations of $196.6 million during the 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007. The increase of cash used in operations of
$13.6 million from the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 to the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 was
primarily due to an increase in cash provided by net earnings,
including the non-cash adjustments to net earnings, of
$81.5 million and a decrease in the operating activities
adjustment related to the excess tax benefits realized from the
exercise of stock-based awards of $29.5 million. Also
contributing to the increase in cash used in operations for the
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 compared to the same
period ended August 4, 2007 was an increase in working
capital of $124.6 million primarily due to an increase in
merchandise inventories of $133.1 million due to an
increase in store count and sales levels.
Cash used in investing activities was $131.8 million and
$70.3 million during the 26 weeks ended August 2,
2008 and August 4, 2007, respectively. During the
26 weeks ended August 2, 2008, $81.5 million of
cash was used primarily to open new stores in the U.S. and
internationally and to invest in information systems. In
addition, the Company used $50.3 million, net of cash
acquired, to acquire FRS, The Gamesman Limited and an increased
ownership interest in GameStop Group Limited. During the
26 weeks ended August 4, 2007, $71.4 million of
cash was used primarily to open 236 new stores in the
U.S. and internationally 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 the 53 weeks
ended February 3, 2007.
Cash provided by financing activities was $24.5 million for
the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 and cash used in
financing activities for the 26 weeks ended August 4,
2007 was $37.1 million. The cash provided by financing
activities for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2008 was
primarily due to the issuance of shares relating to stock option
exercises of $26.7 million and $33.0 million for the
realization of tax benefits relating to the stock option
exercises and vested restricted stock, respectively. These
inflows were offset by the repurchase of $30.0 million of
principal value of the Companys senior notes. The cash
used in financing activities for the 26 weeks ended
August 4, 2007 was primarily due to the repurchase of
$20.0 million and $130.0 million of principal value of
the Companys senior notes and senior floating rate notes,
respectively. These cash outflows were offset by
$46.8 million received for the issuance of shares relating
to stock option exercises and $62.6 million for the
realization of tax benefits relating to the stock option
exercises and vested restricted stock.
Sources
of Liquidity
We utilize cash generated from operations and have funds
available to us under our revolving credit facility to cover
seasonal fluctuations in cash flows and to support our various
growth initiatives. Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at
cost, which approximates market value, and consist primarily of
time deposits with highly rated commercial banks and money
market investment funds holding direct U.S. Treasury
obligations.
In October 2005, in connection with the merger with EB, 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
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
30
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 August 2,
2008, the applicable margin was 0.0% for prime rate loans and
1.00% 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 August 2, 2008,
there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and
letters of credit outstanding totaled $7.3 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 August 2, 2008, there was $3.7 million of cash
overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank
guarantees outstanding totaled $4.9 million.
In September 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 dated September 28,
2005 (the Indenture), by and among the Issuers, the
subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as
trustee (the Trustee). 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 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
August 2, 2008, the unamortized original issue discount was
$4.8 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 August 2, 2008, 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.
Uses
of Capital
Our 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 335 stores in the 26 weeks
ended August 2, 2008 and
31
expects to open approximately 550 to 600 stores in total during
fiscal 2008. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 are projected
to be approximately $170 million to $180 million, to
be used primarily to fund new store openings and invest in
distribution and information systems in support of operations.
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 February 3, 2007, 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.
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. As of August 4, 2007, the Company had
repurchased the maximum authorized amount, 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 $2.0 million and $8.8 million for the
13 and 26 week periods ended August 4, 2007,
respectively, 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. The
Company redeemed the Senior Floating Rate Notes on
October 1, 2007 at the redemption price specified by the
Senior Floating Rate Notes of 102.00%, 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.
On February 7, 2008, the Company announced that its Board
of Directors authorized the buyback of up to an aggregate of an
additional $130 million of its Senior Notes. The timing and
amount of the repurchases will be determined by the
Companys management based on their evaluation of market
conditions and other factors. In addition, the repurchases may
be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of August 2,
2008, the Company had repurchased $30 million of its Senior
Notes pursuant to this new authorization and delivered the
Senior Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The associated
loss on retirement of debt is $2.3 million, which consists
of the premium paid to retire the Senior Notes and the write-off
of the deferred financing fees and the original issue discount
on the Senior Notes.
During October 2007, the Company paid the final principal
payment of $12.2 million to Barnes & Noble, Inc.
(Barnes & Noble) on the promissory note
that was issued in connection with the repurchase of
GameStops common stock held by Barnes & Noble,
satisfying the promissory note in full. The note was unsecured
and bore interest at 5.5% per annum.
On April 5, 2008, the Company purchased all the outstanding
stock of FRS for $21.0 million, net of cash acquired. FRS
operates 49 record stores in Norway and also operates office and
warehouse facilities in Oslo, Norway. The Company intends to
convert these stores into video game stores with an inventory
assortment similar to its other stores in Norway.
In 2003, the Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in
GameStop Group Limited which operates stores in Ireland and the
United Kingdom. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the
minority interest owners of the remaining 49% have the ability
to require the Company to purchase their remaining shares in
incremental percentages at a price to be determined based
partially on the Companys price to earnings ratio and
GameStop Group Limiteds earnings. On May 21, 2008,
the minority interest owners exercised their right to sell
one-third of their shares, or approximately 16% of GameStop
Group Limited, to the Company under the terms of the original
purchase agreement for $27.4 million. The transaction was
completed in June 2008 and recorded in accordance with the
provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, Business Acquisitions.
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 March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161).
SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for and their effect on
an entitys financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on
February 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that the adoption of SFAS 161 may have on its
consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combinations (SFAS 141(R)).
SFAS 141(R) amends the principles and requirements for how
an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements
the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill
acquired. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure
requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R)
is effective for the Company on February 1, 2009, and the
Company will apply SFAS 141(R) prospectively to all
business combinations subsequent to the effective date.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51
(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure
requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the
controlling and noncontrolling interests and requires the
separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and
noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of
SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 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 specific election dates. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has
been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 was
effective for our Company on February 3, 2008. The adoption
of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 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 adopted SFAS 157 on
February 3, 2008 as required for its financial assets and
liabilities. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued FASB
Staff Position
157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which
delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of SFAS 157
for our financial assets and liabilities did not have a material
impact on the Companys financial condition and results of
operations. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 for
our non-financial assets and liabilities, effective
February 1, 2009, will have a material impact on our
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 of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (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
33
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;
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally
and specifically, economic conditions affecting the electronic
game industry;
|
|
|
|
the competitive environment in the electronic game industry;
|
|
|
|
our ability to open and operate new stores;
|
|
|
|
our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
|
|
|
|
the impact and costs of litigation and regulatory compliance;
|
|
|
|
unanticipated litigation results;
|
|
|
|
the risks involved with our international operations;
|
|
|
|
alternate sources of distribution of video game
software; and
|
|
|
|
other factors described in the
Form 10-K,
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.
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 by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157). SFAS 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value while SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. 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.
34
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 at August 2,
2008 was a liability of $8.2 million as measured by
observable inputs obtained from market news reporting services,
such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, and
industry-standard models that consider various assumptions,
including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors,
and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well
as other relevant economic measures. A hypothetical
strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign exchange rates
underlying the Foreign Currency Contracts from the market rate
as of August 2, 2008 would result in a (loss) or gain in
value of the forwards, options and swaps of ($23.9 million)
or $23.9 million, respectively.

ITEM 4.

Controls
and Procedures
|
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the
Companys management 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, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures
within the Company to disclose material information otherwise
required to be set forth in the Companys periodic reports.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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.
PART II
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, 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. Moore was found guilty
of capital murder in a criminal trial and was sentenced to death
in August 2005.
Plaintiffs new Alabama counsel has named a new expert, a
psychiatrist who testified at the criminal trial on behalf of
the criminal defendant, who will opine (if allowed) that violent
video games were a substantial factor in causing the murders.
This same testimony from this same expert was excluded in the
criminal trial from the same judge hearing this case. The motion
to bar this testimony in this case is set for October 30,
2008. The ruling on this motion will have an effect on whether
the case is able to proceed. There is no current trial date. The
Company does not believe there is sufficient information to
estimate the amount of the possible loss, if any, resulting from
the lawsuit.
35
In the ordinary course of the Companys 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.
There have been no other material developments in previously
reported legal proceedings during the fiscal quarter covered by
this
Form 10-Q.
In addition to the other information set forth in this
Form 10-Q,
you should carefully consider the factors discussed in
Item 1A. Risk Factors in our
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2008 filed with the
SEC on April 2, 2008. 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.
