Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through the issuance of additional related ASUs. This ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount to be collected with the recognition of an allowance for credit losses expected to be incurred over an asset's lifetime based on relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard, effective February 2, 2020, using the modified-retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard is intended to simplify the accounting and disclosure requirements for income taxes by eliminating various exceptions in accounting for income taxes as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistency in application of ASC 740. The provisions of ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard provides practical expedients for contract modifications with the transition from reference rates, such as LIBOR, that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for the Company's revolving line of credit, which uses LIBOR as a reference rate. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are effective as of March 12, 2020 and may be adopted prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
2.    COVID-19 Impacts
The near-term macroeconomic conditions continue to be adversely impacted by the emergence of a novel coronavirus, identified as COVID-19, which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. In efforts to mitigate the continued spread of the virus, numerous governments in geographies where the Company operates have imposed quarantines, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions and other similar measures in attempts to limit physical human interaction, often referred to as social distancing. To comply with these measures, the Company temporarily closed or limited store operations across all of its operating regions at various times throughout fiscal 2020 to date.
During the first half of 2020, the Company temporarily closed stores inat various times across Europe, Canada and New Zealand. In the United States, all storefronts were temporarily closed to customers, however, the Company continued to process orders by offering curbside pick-up, ship from store and e-commerce delivery options in many of its stores. These temporary store closures began in late March 2020 and by the end of fiscal June 2020, 98% of the Company's stores globally were open to the public following the implementation of the highest level of health and safety protocols recommended by the federal and local health and governmental authorities. GameStop's store locations in Australia remained opened to the public during the 26 weeks ended August 1,first half of fiscal 2020 and were not negatively impacted during this period by the COVID-19 restrictions as the Company's other segments and New Zealand. Subsequent toDuring the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2020, the substantial majority of the Company's stores were open, with approximately 15% of the Company's stores in Australia were temporarily closed for approximately four weeks due to an outbreak of COVID-19.
The Company has followedAdditionally, starting in late October 2020, as COVID-19 cases began to escalate in regions around the highest level of health and safety protocols recommended by the federal and local health and governmental authorities and the substantial majority of the Company's stores across the various geographies where it operates were re-opened to the public for the latter portion of the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020. In addition, manyworld, all of the Company's stores in France and Ireland were temporarily closed as required by federal governmental authorities, while certain of our stores in Canada, Australia and Austria closed temporarily starting in early to mid-November. Although certain stores remain closed, some of the Company's stores in France, Ireland, Canada and Australia are offering curbside pick-up. The Company remains vigilant in its compliance with COVID-19 regulations across its operating regions, and as such has reverted a minor number of store operations in the United States continuedin early November to offer curbside pick-up ship from store and e-commerce delivery options during the second quarteronly.

Impact on Operating Results and Asset Recoverability
While the gaming industry has not been as severely impacted as certain other consumer businesses, store closures during the stay-at-home orders have adversely impacted the Company's results of operations during the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020. As a result,In response, the Company has taken proactive measures to align inventory purchases with demand, reduce discretionary spending and instituteearlier in fiscal 2020 instituted temporary pay reductions to partially offset the impact of store closures.

During the 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020, the Company incurred $21.4$23.3 million to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including incremental wage payments to hourly associates to help offset lost wages due to store closures, enhanced cleaning measures and expanded use of personal protective equipment at its stores, shared service centers and distribution centers across all geographies where the Company operates.
The aggregation of these events caused the Company to reassess potential impairments of long-lived assets, primarily consisting of store-level property and equipment and right-of-use assets under existing operating leases. As a result of this asset impairment analysis, during the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020 the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively.million. In addition, during the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020, the Company recognized impairment charges of $0.5 million and $3.2 million respectively, for its corporate aircraft, which werewas partially attributable to the current economic impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The corporate aircraft was sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 for $8.6 million, net of costs to sell. See Note 1, "General Information" for further details.
During the first and second quarters of fiscal39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 the Company continued to assess the likelihood of realizing the benefits of its deferred tax assets. The Company estimatesassesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets using several factors, including the weight of all available evidence, which takes into consideration cumulative book losses recognized, and projections of future taxable income in certain jurisdictions.jurisdictions and other factors. While the Company's view of the longer-term operating outlook has not been significantly impacted by COVID-19, its ability to recover these deferred tax assets depends on several factors, including the Company's short and long-term results of operations. As a result of this analysis, there remains athe Company maintains valuation allowance primarily associated withallowances of approximately $187.9 million on the majority of its U.S. and foreign net deferred tax assets of $53.0 million as of August 1,October 31, 2020. See Note 10, “Income Taxes" for further information.
The Company also evaluated its existing short-term assets, particularly accounts receivable, and inventory.
Accounts receivablewhich are mainly comprised of bankcard receivables and vendor allowances. Given the nature of these receivables and the credit worthiness of the applicable payees, the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact the estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts.
MerchandiseThe Company also evaluated its merchandise inventories, which are carried at the lower of cost or market generally using the average cost method. The Company is required to record valuation adjustments to inventory to reflect potential obsolescence or over-valuation as a result of cost exceeding market. In valuing inventory, the Company considers quantities on hand, recent sales, potential price protections, returns to vendors and other factors. Given the nature of the Company's products and the temporary store closures between March and June 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact its estimates of inventory valuation.
Liquidity and Other Impacts
As of August 1,October 31, 2020, the Company had total unrestricted cash on hand of $735.1$445.9 million and an additional $28.4$175.4 million of available borrowing capacity under its $420 million revolving credit facility, which had $35.0 million of outstanding borrowings as of August 1, 2020. The Company's total cash on hand includes $43.2 million proceeds, net of costs to sell and other deductions, from the sale and leaseback of its corporate headquarters, ancillary office space and a nearby refurbishment center in Grapevine, Texas and $8.6 million net proceeds from the sale of the Company's corporate aircraft.facilities. See Note 1, "General Information," and Note 5, "Leases,6, "Debt," for further information on the sale of the corporate aircraft and the sale and leaseback transactions.information. As mentioned above, the Company has taken actions to align expenses and inventory levels given the impacts of the current operating environment and has projected it will have adequate liquidity for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future to maintain normal operations. Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company completed an exchange offer for a portion of its unsecured senior notes due in March 2021 resulting in the replacement of 52% of such notes (based on aggregate principal amount) for newly issued secured senior notes due in March 2023. See Note 6, "Debt," for further details on the exchange offer and related impacts to scheduled debt maturities. See Note 11, "Subsequent Events," for information regarding the Company's notice of redemption to redeem $125.0 million of its outstanding 2021 Senior Notes.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which among other things, provides employer payroll tax credits for wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 pandemic and options to defer the Company's share of Social Security payroll taxes. The Company qualified for the deferral of payroll and other tax payments and, as a result, it has deferred, and continues to defer payroll taxes and other tax payments through the end of the calendar year 2020. The payment of these deferred amounts are required to be made in 2021 and 2022 calendar years. These deferrals are included in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities within the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company's French subsidiary obtained €20.0 million of unsecured term loans in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and another €20.0 million of unsecured term loans in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, 90% of which isare guaranteed by the French government pursuant to a state guaranteed loan program instituted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020, the Company received $9.1$9.7 million and $18.8 million, respectively, of COVID-19-related rent concessions comprised of rent abatements and rent deferrals. The Company applied lease modification guidance to any concession arrangement that extended the term of the lease and substantially altered future cash flows. The Company elected, as permitted by the guidance issued by the FASB during the COVID-19 pandemic, to not use lease modification accounting for all rent concessions including any rent abatements related to leases not subject to an extension of the original terms.

For rent concessions including a deferralin the form of the lease payment deferrals, the liability for these rent amounts will remain on the balance sheet until paid.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains an evolving situation and its impact on the Company's business, operating results, cash flows and financial conditions will depend on the geographies impacted by the virus, the ongoing economic effect of the pandemic, the additional economic stimulus programs introduced by governments, and the timing of the post-pandemic economic recovery. Even as the Company continues to comply with all governmental health and safety requirements for its associates and customers while resuming and maintaining substantially full operations, the persistence and potential resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic may require the Company to temporarily close stores again in future periods or introduce modified operating schedules and may impact customer behaviors, including a potential reduction in consumer discretionary spending. These developments could increase asset recovery and valuation risks. Further, the uncertainties in the global economy could impact the financial viability of the Company's suppliers, which may interrupt the Company's supply chain and require other changes to operations. In light of the foregoing, the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses of governments, customers, suppliers and other third parties, may materially adversely impact the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

4.    Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Applicable accounting standards require disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting the Company's assumptions about pricing by market participants.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company's foreign currency contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value, and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities.
The Company values its foreign currency contracts, life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures, all of which are observable in active markets. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.

The Company uses forward exchange contracts to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans and third party accounts payable denominated in non-functional currencies. 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 loansbalances denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of its 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. The Company continuously monitors its counterparty credit risk and utilizes a number of different counterparties to minimize its exposure to potential defaults. The Company does not require collateral under derivative or investment agreements.
Assets that are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis relate primarily to property and equipment and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the estimated fair value is below its carrying value. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value; rather, when it determines that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its fair value.
During the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, the Company recognized impairment charges totaling $0.4$1.6 million and $1.6$3.6 million, respectively, associated with store-level assets, to reflect their fair values of 0. For further details regarding these store-level impairments, see Note 2, "COVID-19 Impacts." During the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, the Company also recognized impairment charges of $0.5$3.2 million and $3.2$7.7 million, respectively, related to its corporate aircraft to reflect its fair value of $8.6 million prior to the saleand $12.8 million as of theOctober 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The corporate aircraft was classified as assets held-for-sale in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 2, 2019 and February 1, 2020. The company sold its corporate aircraft on June 5, 2020.

As of August 1,October 31, 2020 the Company's unsecured 6.75% senior notes due in 2021 had a net carrying value of $197.8$197.9 million and a fair value of $172.3$197.9 million, and its secured 10.00% senior notes due in 2023 had a net carrying value of $215.9$216.0 million and a fair value of $194.2$216.4 million. The fair values of the Company's senior notes were determined based on observable inputs (Level 2), including quoted market prices obtained through an external pricing source which derives its price valuations from daily marketplace transactions, adjusted to reflect the spreads of benchmark bonds, credit risk and certain other variables.
5.    Leases
The Company conducts the substantial majority of its business with leased real estate properties, including retail stores, warehouse facilities and office space. The Company also leases certain equipment and vehicles. These are generally leased under noncancelable agreements and include various renewal options for additional periods. These agreements generally provide for minimum, and in some cases, percentage rentals, and require the Company to pay insurance, taxes and other maintenance costs. Percentage rentals are based on sales performance in excess of specified minimums at various stores and are accounted for in the period in which the amount of percentage rentals can be accurately estimated. All of the Company's lease agreements are classified as operating leases.
Effective February 3, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases. Under ASC 842, fixed payments associated with its operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and both current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company determines if an arrangement is considered a lease at inception. ROU assets are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term, including reasonably certain renewal options. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for most leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment that is based on an analysis of the Company's credit rating, country risk, corporate bond yields, the effect of collateralization, as well as comparison to its borrowing rates. For real estate leases, the Company does not separate the components of a contract, thus its future payments include minimum rent payments and fixed executory costs. For non-real estate leases, future payments include only fixed minimum rent payments. The Company records the amortization of ROU assets and the accretion of lease liabilities as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which includes option terms the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes cash or lease incentives as a reduction to the ROU asset. ROU assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company's long-lived asset impairment policy, which is performed periodically or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

In July of 2020, the Company sold, in separate unrelated transactions, to unaffiliated third parties: i) its corporate headquarters and ancillary office space in Grapevine, Texas for $28.5 million, net of costs to sell and ii) a nearby refurbishment center for $15.2 million, net of costs to sell. The net proceeds from the sale of these assets will be used for general corporate purposes. As a result of these transactions, a gain on sale of assets of $11.3 million was recognized, which is included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in gain on sale of assets for the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020.
In connection with each of the sales, the Company leased-back from the applicable purchasers its corporate headquarters for an initial term of ten years, and the ancillary office space and refurbishment center for two years. The leaseback agreement for the corporate headquarters contains 3 renewal periods of five years each; the Company recognized only the initial term of the lease as part of its right-of-use asset and lease liability for the corporate headquarters. The other facilities do not contain a renewal option. The annual rent for the corporate headquarters will start at $1.7 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses and will increase by 2.25% per year. The annual rent for the other facilities will be $1.3 million with no rent escalation, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses. These leaseback agreements are accounted for as operating leases.
With respect to the leaseback of the corporate headquarters, the Company agreed to provide a letter of credit to the buyer-lessor within 18 months from the closing date to secure the Company's lease obligation. Given that the purchase price of the corporate headquarters was reduced by $2.8 million to account for the deferred issuance of this letter of credit, as of August 1,October 31, 2020 the Company recognized a contract asset for the same amount within “prepaid expenses and other current assets” representing the variable consideration on the purchase price. Upon delivering the letter of credit, the Company will be entitled to a rent credit of an equivalent amount. This variable consideration is included in the total gain on sale of assets recognized during the second quarter of 2020.
SubsequentIn August 2020, the Company sold its Australian headquarters in Eagle Farm, Queensland to an unrelated party for approximately $27.0 million, net of costs to sell, and immediately leased back the 26 weeks ended August 1,facility for a term of ten years on market rate terms at an average annual base rent of $1.7 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses. Additionally, in September 2020, wethe Company sold its Canadian headquarters in Brampton, Ontario for approximately $16.7 million, net of costs to sell, and leased-backleased back the Company'sfacility for a term of five years on market rate terms at an average annual base rent of $0.9 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses. The Company recognized only the initial term of the lease as part of its right-of-use asset and lease liability for both the Australian and Canadian headquarters. See Note 11, "Subsequent Events,"The net proceeds from the sale of these assets will be used for further information.general corporate

8.    Earnings Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share if their effect would be antidilutive. A net loss from continuing operations causes all potentially dilutive securities to be antidilutive. The Company has certain undistributed stock awards that participate in dividends on a nonforfeitable basis, however, their impact on earnings per share under the two-class method is negligible. See Note 1, "General Information," for information regarding our unvested restricted stock and shares issued and outstanding.

(“GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is the world's largest video game retailer, which operates approximately 5,1005,000 stores across 10ten countries, and offers the best selection of new and pre-owned video gaming consoles, accessories and video game titles, in both physical and digital formats. GameStop also offers fans a wide variety of POP! vinyl figures, collectibles, board games and more.

Our consumer product network also includes www.gamestop.com and Game Informer® magazine, the world's leading print and digital video game publication.
We operate our business in four geographic segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. The fiscal years ending January 30, 2021 ("fiscal 2020") and February 1, 2020 ("fiscal 2019") each consist of 52 weeks. The discussion and analysis of our results of operations refers to continuing operations unless otherwise noted. Our business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of the net sales realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.
Impact from COVID-19
DueDuring the first half of fiscal 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed our U.S. store locations to customer access, as well as closed store locations in Canada, Europe and New Zealand. These temporary store closures began in late March 2020 and by the end of fiscal June 2020, 98% of our stores globally were open to the public following the implementation of the highest level of health and safety protocols recommended by the federal and local health and governmental authorities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the substantial majority of our stores were open, with approximately 15% of our stores in Australia temporarily closed for approximately four weeks due to an outbreak of COVID-19. Additionally, starting in late October 2020, as COVID-19 cases began to escalate in regions around the world, all of our stores in France and Ireland were temporarily closed as required by federal governmental authorities, while certain of our stores in Canada, Australia and Austria closed temporarily starting in early to mid-November. Although certain stores remain closed, some of our stores in France, Ireland, Canada and Australia are offering curbside pick-up. We remain vigilant in our compliance with COVID-19 regulations across our operating regions, and as such have reverted a minor number of store operations in the United States in early November to curbside pick-up only.
During the period of temporary closures, we took several steps to continue to serve our customers via our omnichannelomni-channel platform by enhancing our online capabilities and curbside pick-up options while also lowering our purchase and expense levels to correspond with the lower demand.
The substantial majority of our stores across the various geographies where we operate have re-opened to the public for the latter portion of the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020 following the health and safety protocols recommended by the local health and governmental authorities. In addition, many of our stores in the United States continued offering curbside pick-up, ship from store and e-commerce delivery options while they were open to the public. We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our customers and team members. As a result, during the 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020, we incurred $21.4$23.3 million to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including incremental wage payments to hourly associates to help offset lost wages due to store closures, enhanced cleaning measures and expanded use of personal protective equipment at our stores, shared service centers and distribution centers across all geographies where we operate.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a rapidly evolving situation and the impact on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial conditions will also depend on many factors that are not within our control, including the following:
the geographies impacted by the virus;
changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits, including spending for the merchandise that we sell;
negative trends in consumer purchasing patterns due to changes in consumers' disposable income, credit availability and debt levels;
the availability of additional economic stimulus programs introduced by the various governments where we operate;
disruption to our supply chain including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products;
delays in the release of key video game titles; and
a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies, and the timing of the post-pandemic economic recovery.
We are takingcontinue to take steps to improve cash flows and liquidity, which we believe will help usenhance our resiliency as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, as a more resilient company. These steps include the following:including:
reducing inventory receipts to match demand, focusing our purchasing efforts on key hardware, software and accessories products;
loweringconcentrating capital spending to focus on mandatoryrequired maintenance or near-term high value strategic projects; and
divesting non-strategic assets to free up cash that will be re-deployed for deployment to certain strategic investments and initiatives including the recent completion of sale and lease-back transactions; and
completing the exchange offer for our senior notes due in 2021.

In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we took the following steps to preserve liquidity while most of our stores were temporarily closed:
reduced the base salary for our executive leadership team by graduated amounts ranging from 30%-50% for 9 weeks;
lowered the cash compensation for the members of the Board of Directors by 50% for 9 weeks;

reduced pay for certain other employees by graduated amounts across most of the worldwide permanent workforce between 10% and 30% for 9 weeks; and
forewent merit pay increases for the majority of our associates for fiscal 2020.

Industry Overview
Growth in the video game industry is generally driven by the introduction of new technology. Gaming consoles have historically launched in five to seven-year cycles as technological developments provide significant improvements in the gaming experience and add other entertainment capabilities. Consumer demand for gaming consoles are typically the highest in the early years of the cycle and the weakest in the latter years. The current generation of consoles include the Sony PlayStation 4 (launched in 2013), Microsoft Xbox One (launched in 2013) and the Nintendo Switch (launched in 2017). The Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft XBox One are nearing the end of their cycle as Sony and Microsoft have announcedsuccessfully launched their next generation consoles, are expected to launch during the holiday period ofSony PlayStation 5 and the Microsoft Xbox Series X, in November 2020.
The sale of video games delivered through digital channels and other forms of gaming continue to grow and take an increasing percentage of physical video game sales. We currently sell various types of products that relate to the digital category, including digitally downloadable content (“DLC”), full game downloads, Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Plus and Nintendo network points cards, as well as prepaid digital and prepaid subscription cards. We have made significant investments in e-commerce, in-store and website functionality to enable our customers to access digital content to facilitate the digital sales and delivery process. We plan to continue to invest in these types of processes and channels to grow our digital sales base and enhance our market leadership position in the video game industry and in the digital aggregation and distribution category.
In our discussion of the results of operations, we refer to comparable store sales, which is a measure commonly used in the retail industry and indicates store performance by measuring the growth or decline in sales for certain stores for a particular period over the corresponding prior year's comparable period.
Our comparable store sales are comprised of sales from our video game stores, including stand-alone collectible stores, operating for at least 12 full months as well as sales related to our websites and sales we earn from sales of pre-owned merchandise to wholesalers or dealers. Comparable store sales for our international operating segments exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Historically, stores with an active lease designation were included in our comparable stores sales even if there were temporary closures because such temporary closures were primarily due to remodeling and relocations and were typically resolved within fewer than 14 days. Beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, we refined the definition of comparable store sales to exclude stores that were closed for 14 consecutive days or more and where curbside delivery was not available to customers. Therefore, comparable sales results for the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020 exclude stores that were closed for 14 consecutive days or more primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic where curbside delivery was not available to customers. These criteria are consistent with the metric used by management for internal reporting and analysis to measure performance of our stores. Comparable store sales reported in prior periods are not affected by this revision.
The calculation of comparable store sales compares the 13 and 2639 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020 to the most closely comparable weeks for the prior year period. The method of calculating comparable store sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, our method of calculating comparable store sales may not be the same as other retailers’ methods. We believe our calculation of comparable store sales best represents our strategy as an omnichannelomni-channel retailer that provides its consumers several ways to access its products.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
In May of 2019, we announced our multi-year transformation initiative, which we refer to as GameStop Reboot to position GameStop on the correct strategic path and fully leverage our unique position and brand in the video game industry. Our strategic plan is anchored on the following four tenets.

Comparable store sales decreased 12.7%24.6% and 15.1%18.7% during the current quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. The decrease in net sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily attributable to the combined impacts of temporary store closures to customer traffic in the United States, Canada and Europe due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the cyclicality of new hardware consoles which are expectedas our third fiscal quarter was the final period prior to the launch in the fourth quarter of 2020.new generation of video game consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Although the substantial majority of our stores were able to open forduring the latter portion the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2020, the negative impact related to the on-goingongoing COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect our store operations in all of our operating segments. This includes our Australia stores which were not affected by temporary closures during the first half of fiscal 2020, but during the third fiscal quarter approximately 15% of Australian stores temporarily closed for approximately four weeks. For the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 we experienced declines in the United States, Canada, Europe and New Zealand.

These declines were also partially offset by the increase in our e-commerce sales, which increased 800%257.4% and 644%432.9% in the current quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Although our sales have decreased compared to the prior year periods as described above, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for at home entertainment and connectivity products as consumers are spending more time in their homes and seek in-home entertainment options.

Gain on Sale of Assets
In JulyDuring the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, we sold our Australian headquarters in Eagle Farm, Queensland to an unrelated party for approximately $27.0 million, net of costs to sell, and immediately leased back the facility for a term of ten years on market rate terms at an average annual base rent of $1.7 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses. Additionally, in September 2020, we sold our Canadian headquarters in Brampton, Ontario for approximately $16.7 million, net of costs to sell, and leased back the facility for a term of five years on market rate terms at an average annual base rent of $0.9 million plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses. The net proceeds from the sale of these assets will be used for general corporate purposes. As a result of these transactions, a gain on sale of assets of $21.1 million was recognized and is included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020.
During the second fiscal quarter of 2020, we sold, in separate unrelated transactions, to unaffiliated third parties i) our corporate headquarters and ancillary office space in Grapevine, Texas for $28.5 million, net of costs to sell and ii) a nearby refurbishment center for $15.2 million, net of costs to sell. The net proceeds from the sale of these assets will be used for general corporate purposes. As a result of these transactions, a gain on sale of assets of $11.3 million was recognized for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020.
In connection with each of these sales, we leased-back from the applicable purchasers our corporate headquarters for an initial term of ten years, and the ancillary office space and refurbishment center for two years. The leaseback agreement for the corporate headquarters contains three renewal periods of five years each; we recognized only the initial term of the lease as part of our right-of-use asset and lease liability for the corporate headquarters. The other facilities do not contain a renewal option. The annual rent for the corporate headquarters will start at $1.7 million, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses and will increase by 2.25% per year. The annual rent for the other facilities will be $1.3 million with no rent escalation, plus taxes, utilities, management fees and other operating and maintenance expenses. These leaseback agreements are accounted for as operating leases.
With respect to the leaseback of the corporate headquarters, we agreed to provide a letter of credit to the buyer-lessor within 18 months from the closing date to secure our lease obligation. Upon delivering such letter of credit, we will be entitled to a rent credit of $2.8 million. This variable consideration is included in the total gain on sale of assets recognized during the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020.
The net proceeds from the sale of these assets will be used for general corporate purposes. As a result of the transactions that occurred during the second quarterand third fiscal quarters of 2020, a gain on sale of assets of $32.4 million was recognized and is included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020.
See Note 5, "Leases," for further information regarding the sale and leaseback of these facilities.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased by $0.5$3.7 million (7.1%(61.7%) during the 13 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020 compared to the 13 weeks ended August 3,November 2, 2019, primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the increase in the interest rate associated with the exchange of $216.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% senior notes due in 2021 for our 10.0% senior notes due in 2023 as well as a decrease in interest income primarily as a result of a reduction in interest rates.
Interest expense, net increased by $3.2 million (15.5%), during the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in interest income primarily as a result of a reduction in interest rates. The decrease in interest income was offset by a decrease in interest expense as a result of the premiums paid in the prior year period on the repurchase of $50.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and the repurchase of $6.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes during the first half of fiscal 2020.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense (Benefit)
We recognized income tax benefit of $53.9 million for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to an income tax expense of $31.6 million for the 13 weeks ended November 2, 2019. Our effective income tax rate increased to 74.1% for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to (61.2)% for the 13 weeks ended November 2, 2019. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by a change in the tax status of certain foreign entities, sale and leaseback transactions, the impact of the CARES Act, including tax benefits associated with the availability of a five-year carryback period for certain current year tax losses, and the relative mix of earnings across the jurisdictions within which we operate.
We recognized income tax expense of $17.9$14.4 million for the 1339 weeks ended August 1,October 31, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $40.1$6.2 million for the 1339 weeks ended August 3,November 2, 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand and our revolving credit facility.facilities. As of August 1,October 31, 2020, we had total unrestricted cash on hand of $735.1$445.9 million and an additional $28.4$175.4 million of available borrowing capacity under our $420 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), which had $35.0 million of outstanding borrowings as of August 1, 2020. Our total cash on hand includes $43.2 million proceeds, net of costs to sell and other deductions, from the sales and leasebacks of our corporate headquarters, ancillary office space and a nearby refurbishment center in Grapevine, Texas and $8.6 million net proceeds from the sale of our corporate aircraft. See Note 1, "General Information," and Note 5, "Leases," for further information.facilities.
Availability under our Revolver,revolving credit facilities, which was increased subsequent to August 1,during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, as described in the Sources of Liquidity section below, provides us additional liquidity throughout the course of the year to fund our operations. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under the Revolverour revolving credit facilities together will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and transformation initiatives and support corporate capital allocation programs including any share or debt repurchases that we may undertake, for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. While factors related to COVID-19 have negatively impacted our results for the first quarter ended May 2, 2020, results for our second quarter ended August 1, 2020 and third quarter ended October 31, 2020, as compared to our first quarter of fiscal 2020, have improved as we continued to achieve the cash flow benefits from cost savings and expense reduction initiatives, as well as disciplined working capital management which supports an improved liquidity position.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate and consider certain strategic operating alternatives, including divestitures, restructuring or dissolution of unprofitable business segments, repurchasing shares of our common stock or our outstanding debt obligations, as well as other transactionsequity and debt financing alternatives that we believe may enhance stockholder value. Specific to our 2021 Senior Notes, on July 6, 2020 we issued $216.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Senior Notes in exchange for the samean equal aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes. See Note 6, "Debt," for further details on this debt exchange. The nature, amount nature and timing of any strategic operational changes,change, or purchases of our debt or equity securitiesfinancing transactions that we might pursue will depend on a variety of factors, including, as of the applicable time, our available cash and liquidity and operating performance and other circumstances;performance; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed byunder our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions. As part of our previously announced GameStop Reboot profit improvement initiative, we are evaluating future strategic and operating alternatives for certain of our unprofitable operating subsidiaries and business units that operate within our international segments. We currently believe that the aggregate amount of any potential charges associated with the disposition or wind-down of certain operations under consideration, primarily relating to lease and severance obligations and accelerated depreciation and amortization, would not be material to our liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 around the world, many of our vendors have been impacted by the volatility in the supply chain financing market. As we seek to optimize our inventories, including for next generation video game consoles and a result, in recent weeks,number of new software releases, and related payment terms, we have electedincreased the amount of collateral we provide to use certain supply chain support instrumentsselect vendors for our inventory purchase obligations. Our continued provision of collateral, and the levels of such as letterscollateral, will depend on a variety of credit with a select few vendors to ensure we are maximizing opportunities infactors, including our supply chain as the next generationinventory purchase levels, available payment terms for inventories, availability of gaming consoles approaches in the coming few months. We may elect to further use these instruments in the future. Use of these instruments may utilizeborrowing capacity of the borrowing base under our ABL revolving linecredit facilities, favorable credit terms and costs of credit or potentially increase our balanceproviding collateral. See Note 1, "General Information — Restricted Cash" for further details.
On November 10, 2020, the Company issued a notice to redeem, on December 11, 2020, $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of restricted cash.2021 Senior Notes. See Note 11, "Subsequent Events," for further details.

The decrease in cash used in operations of $646.7 million during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2019.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Company's quantitative disclosures about market risk as set forth in its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as described below.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic both in the United States and globally continues to cause uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, including interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The outbreak is expected to have a continued adverse impact on market conditions for the foreseeable future and to trigger a period of global economic slowdown with no known duration. See further discussion in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Report on Form 10-Q.Operations.”
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act has been appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and are effective in ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on that evaluation, determined that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 1,October 31, 2020 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has required certain employees, some of whom are involved in the operation of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, to work from home. Despite this change, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 1,October 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continually monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on its internal controls to minimize any impact it may have on their design and operating effectiveness.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions and consumer class actions. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of its stockholders. The Company does not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
In light of recent developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company amended and restated all risk factors that were included in item "1A. Risk Factors" of its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")SEC on March 27, 2020. A copy of theThe amended and restated risk factors was providedare included in Exhibit 99.4 to the Form 8-K the Company filed with the SEC on June 5, 2020 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, due to the issuancethese risk factors were further supplemented in Item 1A of the 2023 Senior Notes in connectionCompany's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Exchange Offer settledSEC on July 6, 2020, the Company is providing the following new risk factors related to its indebtedness:September 9, 2020.
The indenture governing our 2023 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions or take advantage of certain business opportunities.
The indenture governing our 2023 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest, including restrictions on our ability to:ITEM 2.    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

sell assets;
incur liens;
engage in transactions with affiliates;
enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and
engage in mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations.
In addition, the restrictive covenants applicable to our revolving credit facility require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0 in the event that excess availability under the revolving credit facility is at any time less than the greater of (1) $30.0 million prior to August 28, 2020 ($12.5 million beginning on August 28, 2020) and (2) 10% of the lesser of the total commitment and the borrowing base. As of August 1, 2020, we would not have been in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant if it were in effect and, therefore, our borrowing capacity was effectively reduced by $30.0 million. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial performance may impair our ability to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant in the future, which would also impact our access to the availability under the revolving credit facility.
A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the indenture governing our 2023 Senior Notes or our revolving credit facility could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such an event of default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the revolving credit facility would permit the lenders under our revolving credit facility to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under our revolving credit facility, those lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. In the event our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. As a result of these restrictions, we may be:
limited in how we conduct our business;
unable to raise additional debt or equity financing necessary in order to operate during general economic or business downturns; or
unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.
These restrictions may affect our ability to grow in accordance with our strategy. In addition, our financial results, our substantial indebtedness and our credit ratings could adversely affect the availability and terms of our financing.
To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations or refinance our debt on favorable terms.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, including without limitation any payments required to be made under our revolving credit facility or to holders of our 2021 Senior Notes and our 2023 Senior Notes, and to fund our operations, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt obligations, including interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, including the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. We cannot provide assurance that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales, that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or if that additional financing would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments, then in effect.
Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or on a timely basis, would have an negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur additional debt. This could further increase the risks associated with our leverage.
Although the indentures governing our 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes and our revolving credit facility agreement contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Additionally, these restrictions will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. Such future indebtedness or obligations may have restrictions similar to, or more restrictive than, those included in the indentures for our 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes or our revolving credit facility agreement. The incurrence of additional indebtedness could impact our financial condition and results of operations.
