Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of the Company and itsour subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in theour opinion, of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’sour annual report on Form 10-K for the 5352 weeks ended February 2, 2013 (“fiscal 2012”1, 2014 (the “2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires managementus 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 haswe have made itsour 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 managementus could have a significant impact on the Company’sour financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Due to the seasonal nature of theour business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 20133, 2014 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2014”).

We have revised the presentation of outstanding checks in our prior period financial statements as indicated in the tables below. Previously, we reduced cash and liabilities when the checks were presented for payment and cleared our bank accounts. We now reduce cash and liabilities when the checks are released for payment. The impacts of revising our financial statements for the specified prior periods are as follows:

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sales of our products is recognized at the time of sale, net of sales discounts and net of an estimated sales return reserve, based on historical return rates, with a corresponding reduction in cost of sales. Our sales return policy is generally limited to less than 30 days and as such our sales returns are, and have historically been, madeimmaterial.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to conformassist in the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 related to revenue recognition. The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior period datarevenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Specifically, the ASU amends the definition of a discontinued operation, expands disclosure requirements for transactions that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose additional information about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale and do not qualify as discontinued operations. Additionally, entities will be required to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position and to separately present certain information related to the current interim period presentation.

operating and investing cash flows of the discontinued operation, for all comparative periods, in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending January 30, 2016 and will be adopted on a prospective basis for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale prior to the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning

on or after the adoption date, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting StandardsIn July 2013, ASU 2013-11 “

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” was issued requiring an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as either a reduction to a deferred tax asset or separately as a liability depending on the existence, availability and/or use of an operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. We adopted this ASU during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as we do not currently have any unrecognized tax benefits in the same jurisdictions in which we have tax loss or credit carryovers.

In March 2013, an accounting standard update wasthe FASB issued providingASU 2013-05 “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)”, which provides guidance with respect to the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a parent company sells either a part or all of an investment in a foreign entity. The accounting standard updateASU requires the release of cumulative translation adjustments when a company no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a foreign subsidiary or a group of assets that constitutes a business within a foreign entity. This accounting standard update isASU became effective for us beginning the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this accounting standard update, but does2014 and did not expect it to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, an accounting standard update was issued regarding disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail

GAMESTOP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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

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

2.Acquisitions
Spring Mobile
In November 2013, we purchased Spring Communications, Inc. (“Spring Mobile”), a wireless retailer, for a purchase price of $62.6 million. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Spring Mobile acquisition were determined based, in part, on a third-party valuation. In connection with our acquisition of Spring Mobile, we assumed a promissory note that Spring Mobile had previously entered into related to its prior purchase of certain wireless stores. The promissory note has a remaining term of approximately two years and had a carrying value of $3.6 million at May 3, 2014. As of May 3, 2014, the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition is complete and there have been no changes to the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition since February 1, 2014.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Spring Mobile acquired five AT&T resellers for total consideration of $29.8 million ($27.6 million net of cash acquired). We did not record any goodwill related to these acquisitions, and the purchase price allocation for these transactions was not complete as of May 3, 2014. We continue to believe that Spring Mobile, together with our acquisition of Simply Mac in fiscal 2013, represents an important strategic growth opportunity for us within the specialty retail marketplace and also provides avenues for diversification relative to our core operations in the video game retail marketplace.

4.Computation of Net Income Perper Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Under the treasury stock method, potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share if their effect would be antidilutive.
A reconciliation of shares used in calculatingthe computation of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

(Unaudited)

Recurring Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company defines fair

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

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

We value our Foreign Currency Contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal, and industry-standard 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 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):

Prior to the March 2014 amendments, the Revolver was scheduled to mature in January 2016. The amendments extended the maturity date to March 25, 2019; increased the expansion feature under the Revolver from $150 million to $200 million, subject to certain conditions; and revised certain other terms, including a reduction of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently examining the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the fiscal years ended on January 28, 2012, January 29, 2011, January 30, 2010, January 31, 2009, February 2, 2008 and February 3, 2007. The Company does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these audits.

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

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

The


Beginning with our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we expanded the categories included in our disclosures on sales and gross profit by category to reflect recent changes in our business, the expansion of categories previously included in Other and our management emphasis as we operate in the future. Our previous categories of New Video Game Hardware and New Video Game Software remain unchanged.

We have expanded our previous category of Pre-owned Video Game Products to include value-priced, or closeout, products and this category is now referred to as the Pre-owned and Value Video Game Products category. We believe there is an opportunity to purchase closeout and overstocked inventory from publishers, distributors and other retailers which is older new product but can be acquired for less than typical new release product costs. This product can then be resold in our Video Game Brands stores and on our websites as value-priced product. Our sales of this product in the past have yielded significantly higher margins than new video game products, yet slightly lower margins than pre-owned video game products.

In the past, all other products we sold were categorized into “Other,” which included video game accessories, digital products, new and pre-owned mobile products, consumer electronics, revenues from our PowerUp Rewards program and Game Informer subscription sales, strategy guides, toys and PC entertainment software. We are separating our historical Other category into the following table sets forth net sales (in millions) by significant product categorynew categories:

reseller operating AT&T branded wireless retail stores in the United States; and pre-paid wireless stores under the name Cricket Wireless (an AT&T brand) as part of our expanding relationship with AT&T. Our Simply Mac, Spring Mobile and Cricket Wireless business comprise our Technology Brands segment.

Our fiscal year is composed of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2014”) and the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 (“fiscal 2013”) each consists of 52 weeks and the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 (“fiscal 2012”) consisted of 53 weeks.

Growth in the electronic game industry is generally driven by the introduction of new technology. Gaming consoles are typically launched in cycles as technological developments in both chip processing speeds and data storage provide significant improvements in advanced graphics, audio quality, game play, Internet connectivity and other entertainment capabilities beyond video gaming. The current generation of consoles (the Sony PlayStation 4, the Microsoft Xbox One and the Nintendo Wii U) was introduced between November 2012 and November 2013. The previous generation of consoles (the Sony PlayStation 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii) were introduced between 2005 and 2007. The Nintendo 3DS was introduced in March 2011, and the Sony PlayStation Vita was introduced in February 2012. A new console cycle is developing as2012 and the Nintendo launched the Wii U2DS was introduced in November 2012 as the next generation of the Wii. Also, Sony and Microsoft have announced that the next generation of the PlayStation and Xbox, respectively, are expected to come to market by the holiday period ofOctober 2013. Typically, following the introduction of new video game platforms, sales of new video game hardware increase as a percentage of total sales in the first full year following introduction. As video game platforms mature, the sales mix attributable to complementary video game software and accessories, which generate higher gross margins, generally increases in the subsequent years. The net effect is generally a decline in gross margin percentagepercent in the first full year following new platform releases and an increase in gross margin percentagepercent in the years subsequent to the first full year following the launch period. The planned launchesperiod; therefore, the launch of the next-generationcurrent-generation Sony PlayStation 4 and the Microsoft Xbox by the holiday period of 2013 willOne could negatively impact our overall gross margin percentage in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.2014. Unit sales of maturing video game platforms, like the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360, are typically also driven by manufacturer-funded retail price reductions, further driving sales of related software and accessories. Historically,With the introduction of the new consoles in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, sales of new hardware consoles are typically introduced every four to five years. However, the current generation of hardware consoles is now over six years old and consumer demand is declining. We have seen declines in new hardware and software sales in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 before the next-generation product launches due to the age of the current console cycle. The introduction of new consoles, like the Wii U, or further price cuts on the current generation of consoles could partially offset these declines.

increased.

We expect that future growth in the electronic game industry will also be driven by the sale of video games delivered in digital form and the expansion of other forms of gaming. We currently sell various types of products that relate to the digital category, including digitally downloadable content (“DLC”), Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Plus and Nintendo network points cards, as well as prepaid digital and online timecards. We expect our sales of digital products to increase in fiscal 2013. We have made significant investments in e-commerce and in-store and Web site functionality to enable our customers to access digital content easily and facilitate the digital sales and delivery process. We plan to continue to invest in these types of processes and channels to grow our digital sales base and enhance our market leadership position in the electronic game industry and in the digital aggregation and distribution category. In fiscal 2011, we also launched our mobile business and began selling an assortment of tablets and accessories. We currently sell tablets and accessories in all of our stores in the United States and in a majority of stores in our international markets. We also sell and accept

15


trades of pre-owned mobile devices in our stores. In addition, we intend to continue to invest in customer loyalty programs designed to attract and retain customers.

In November 2013, we acquired Simply Mac, an authorized Apple reseller selling Apple products and services in 23 stores, and acquired Spring Mobile, an authorized AT&T reseller currently operating 210 stores selling wireless services and products. We also operate 37 stores under the Cricket Wireless brand (formerly operated under the Aio Wireless name prior to AT&T's acquisition of Leap Wireless). Cricket Wireless is an AT&T brand selling pre-paid wireless services and products. We expect to expand the number of Spring Mobile, Simply Mac and Cricket Wireless stores which we operate in future years.
Recent Developments
Acquisition activity. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, in connection with the continued expansion of our Technology Brands business, Spring Mobile acquired five AT&T resellers, which operated a total of 36 stores as of May 3, 2014, for total consideration of $29.8 million. We continue to seek out opportunities to extend our core competencies to other products and retail categories in order to continue to grow and to help mitigate the financial impact from the cyclical nature of the video game console cycle. As a result of our acquisition activity in the Technology Brands segment over the past two fiscal quarters, we are currently experiencing higher gross margins in that segment in comparison to the margins in our Video Game Brands segments, which has had the impact of offsetting potential margin erosion associated with the recent launch of the current generation video game consoles.
Additionally, as part of our efforts to drive long-term shareholder value, we have accomplished the following initiatives in the first quarter of fiscal 2014:
Quarterly cash dividend. On March 4, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our annual cash dividend from $1.10 to $1.32 per share of Class A Common Stock, which represents an increase of 20%. Additionally, on March 25, 2014, we paid our first quarterly dividend of fiscal 2014 of $0.33 per share of Class A Common Stock to stockholders of record on March 17, 2014. Additionally, on May 20, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per common share payable on June 17, 2014, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 4, 2014.
Share repurchase activity. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we repurchased 1.3 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at an average price per share of $39.28 for a total of $52.2 million. Between May 4, 2014 and June 4, 2014, we repurchased an additional 0.6 million shares of our Class A Common Stock for an average price per share of $37.18.
Critical Accounting Policies

We include purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than in cost of sales, in the statement of operations. The Company includesWe include 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. As a result of these classifications, our gross margins are not comparable to those retailers that include purchasing, receiving and distribution costs in cost of sales and include processing fees associated with purchases made by check and credit cards in selling, general and administrative expenses. The net effect of these classifications as a percentage of net sales has not historically been material.


Beginning with our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we expanded the categories included in our disclosures on sales and gross profit by category to reflect recent changes in our business, the expansion of categories previously included in Other and our management emphasis as we operate in the future. Our previous categories of New Video Game Hardware and New Video Game Software remain unchanged.

We have expanded our previous category of Pre-owned Video Game Products to include value-priced, or closeout, products and this category is now referred to as the Pre-owned and Value Video Game Products category. We believe there is an opportunity to purchase closeout and overstocked inventory from publishers, distributors and other retailers which is older new product but can be acquired for less than typical new release product costs. This product can then be resold in our Video Game Brands stores and on our Web sites as value-priced product. Our limited sales of this product in the past have yielded significantly higher margins than new video game products, yet slightly lower margins than pre-owned video game products.

In the past, all other products we sold were categorized into “Other,” which included video game accessories, digital products, new and pre-owned mobile products, consumer electronics, revenues from our PowerUp Rewards program and Game Informer subscription sales, strategy guides, toys and PC entertainment software. We are separating our historical Other category into the following new categories:

Video Game Accessories, which includes new accessories for use with video game consoles and hand-held devices and software, such as controllers, gaming headsets and memory cards;
Digital, which includes revenues from the sale of DLC, Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus and Nintendo network points and subscription cards, other prepaid digital currencies and time cards, Kongregate, Game Informer digital subscriptions and PC digital downloads;
Mobile and Consumer Electronics, which includes revenues from selling new and pre-owned mobile devices and consumer electronics in Video Game Brands stores and all revenues from our Technology Brands stores;
Other, which includes revenues from the sales of PC entertainment software, toys, strategy guides and revenues from PowerUp Pro loyalty members receiving Game Informer magazine in physical form.

The $0.1 millionincrease in operating earnings and net lossincome is primarily attributable to noncontrolling interests forthe launch of the new console systems and solid growth in our pre-owned and value category.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

During

Overview
Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under our $400 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) together will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, store openings and remodeling activities and corporate capital expenditure programs, including the payment of dividends declared by the Board of Directors, for at least the next 12 months. On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions, divestitures, repurchasing shares of our common stock or other transactions to create shareholder value and enhance financial performance. Such transactions may generate additional proceeds or require additional cash expenditures.
As of May 3, 2014, we had total cash on hand of $208.9 million and an additional $314.9 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolver. Based on our current expectations, we believe our liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to operate our business. However, we may, from time to time, raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.
We have revised the presentation of outstanding checks in our prior period financial statements. Previously, we reduced cash and liabilities when the checks were presented for payment and cleared our bank accounts. We now reduce cash and liabilities when the checks are released for payment.
The impact of this revision on our consolidated statements of cash flows for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013 are as follows:

Cash Flows
During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014, cash used in operations was $331.4$277.2 million, compared to cash used in operations of $162.2$162.0 million during the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2012.May 4, 2013. The increase in cash flow used in operations of $169.2$115.2 million was primarily due to an increase in cash used in operations for working capital purposes, which increased $144.8$127.7 million from $280.6a use of $256.0 million in the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2012 to $425.4 million in the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013.2013 to a use of $383.7 million in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014. The increase in cash used in operations for working capital was due primarily to the change in cash related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the change in the payment of income taxes from year to year. The decrease in cash related to accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013 compared to the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2012 was primarily due to changes in the timing of trade payable payments. Our business is highly seasonal, with a disproportionate amount of sales occurring in the fourth quarter of each year. We purchase inventory in anticipation of these fourth quarter sales and, as a result, have higher accounts payable at year-end compared to the end of the first quarter. DuringThese changes were partially offset by a decrease in cash payments for income taxes and prepaid expenses in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014 as compared to the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013. Operating cash flows in the first quarter of each fiscal year, we have traditionally had a significant use of cash associated with the pay down of accounts payables from year-end. In addition, the leveraging of inventory and accounts payable is impacted by the amount of purchases during each quarter. Due to the late stages of the current console cycle, we have decreased purchases and our inventory mix is shifting towards more used products, including used mobile products. These factors2014 were also negatively impacted our accounts payable leverage during the quarter. In addition, the increaseby a decrease in cash used in operations was also attributed to a $24.4 million decrease inconsolidated net income, adjusted for noncash items.

DuringThe $28.8 million increase in cash used for investing activities is primarily attributable to $27.6 million of cash that was used to fund our Technology Brands acquisitions during the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013, $24.3 million of cash was used primarily to invest in information systems, invest in digital initiatives and open new stores and remodel existing stores in the U.S. and internationally.

The $17.0 million decrease in the cash used in financing activities is due to an increase in cash proceeds from the revolver of $75.0 million, partially offset by an increase of $23.1 million used in the repurchase of common stock and an increase of $5.2 million in cash payments for dividends. Additionally, cash provided by the issuance of shares related to stock option exercises decreased $30.4 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014 in comparison to the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the releaseconvergence of cumulative translation adjustments into net income whenU.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 related to revenue recognition. The new guidance sets forth a parent company sells either a part or allnew five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of an investmentrevenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in a foreign entity.U.S. GAAP. The accountingunderlying principle of the new standard update requires the release of cumulative translation adjustments when a company no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a foreign subsidiary or a group of assetsis that constitutes a business within a foreign entity. Thisor other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting standard updateguidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for fiscal yearsannual periods beginning after December 15, 2013,2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Specifically, the ASU amends the definition of a discontinued operation, expands disclosure requirements for transactions that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose additional information about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale and do not qualify as discontinued operations. Additionally, entities will be required to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position and to separately present certain information related to the operating and investing cash flows of the discontinued operation, for all comparative periods, in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending January 30, 2015 and will be adopted on a prospective basis for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale prior to the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after the adoption date, with early adoption permitted. The Company isWe are currently evaluating the effect ofimpact that this accounting standard update, but does not expect it towill have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, an accounting standard update was issued regarding disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This accounting standard update is effective for the Company’s annual and interim periods beginning in fiscal 2013. The accounting standard update had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

ITEM
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Exposure

We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. We limit our interest rate risks by investing our excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments with a maturity of one year or less. We do not expect any

There have been no material losses from our invested cash balances, and we believe that our interest rate exposure is modest.

Foreign Currency Risk

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

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

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