The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include ~~the Company's~~our accounts and the accounts of ~~its~~our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All 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 ~~the Company's~~our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the information as of and 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's~~our annual report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended ~~February 1, 2020,~~January 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March ~~27, 2020,~~23, 2021, (the ~~“2019~~“2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 29, 2022 ("fiscal 2021"). Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Each of our fiscal years ending January 29, 2022 ("fiscal 2021") and January 30, 2021 ("fiscal 2020") 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.

UseofEstimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ~~GAAP~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires ~~the Company~~us 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, ~~the Company has~~we have made ~~its~~our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, ~~and changes~~giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions that we have used ~~by the Company~~ could have a significant impact on ~~its~~our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 30, 2021 ("fiscal 2020").

Performance-based restricted stock awards generally vest as a lump sum on the third anniversary of the date of issuance and are subject to the achievement of certain performance measures.

Shares of restricted stock granted by the Company are considered to be legally issued and outstanding as of the date of grant, notwithstanding that the shares remain subject to risk of forfeiture if the vesting conditions for such shares are not met, and are included in the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding disclosed on the cover page of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as of December 1, 2020.

~~Adoption~~ There were no discontinued operations during the first fiscal quarter 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.2021.

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~~adoption of this standard is ~~currently evaluating the~~not expected to result in a material impact ~~that ASU 2019-12 will have~~ on ~~its~~our 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~~our 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, 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 at 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 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. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the substantial majority of the Company's stores were open, with approximately 15% of the Company's 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 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 in early November to curbside pick-up only.

prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-04 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

2. COVID-19 Impacts

Throughout fiscal 2020, we temporarily closed stores or limited store operations at various times across our 4 operating segments. During the first fiscal quarter of 2021, temporary closures were limited to certain jurisdictions in Europe and Canada. Although certain stores experienced temporary closures during the first fiscal quarter of 2021, some of our stores offered and continue to offer curbside pick-up. We remain vigilant in our compliance with COVID-19 regulations across our operating regions.

Impact on Operating Results and Asset Recoverability

While the gaming industry has not been as severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as certain other consumer businesses, store closures during the stay-at-home orders ~~have~~in certain countries continue to adversely ~~impacted the Company's~~impact our results of operations during the 13 ~~and 39~~ weeks ended ~~October 31, 2020. In response,~~May 1, 2021. During the ~~Company has taken proactive measures~~first fiscal quarter of 2021, we continued to ~~align inventory purchases with demand, reduce discretionary spending and earlier in fiscal 2020 instituted temporary pay reductions to partially offset~~evaluate the impact ~~of store closures.~~

~~During the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred $23.3 million to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic~~on our assets, including ~~incremental wage payments to hourly associates to help offset lost wages due to store closures, enhanced cleaning measures~~accounts receivable, inventory, 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 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 the Company recognized impairment charges of $1.6 million.assets. In addition, during the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company recognized impairment charges of $3.2 million for its corporate aircraft, which was partially attributable to the economic impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The corporate aircraft was sold during the secondfirst fiscal quarter of ~~fiscal 2020 for $8.6 million, net of costs to sell. See Note 1, "General Information" for further details.~~

~~During the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 the Company~~2021, we continued to assess the likelihood of realizing the benefits of ~~its~~our deferred tax assets. ~~The Company assesses~~We estimate the realizability of ~~its~~our 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 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.jurisdictions. As a result of this analysis, ~~the Company maintains~~we continue to maintain a full valuation ~~allowances~~allowance on all of ~~approximately $187.9 million on the majority of its U.S. and foreign~~our net deferred tax ~~assets as of October 31, 2020. See Note 10, “Income Taxes" for further information.~~

The Company evaluated its accounts receivable, which 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.

The 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.assets.

Liquidity and Other Impacts

As of ~~October 31, 2020, the Company~~May 1, 2021, we had total unrestricted cash on hand of ~~$445.9~~$694.7 million, $76.1 million of restricted cash and an additional ~~$175.4~~$99.9 million of available borrowing capacity under ~~its~~our revolving credit ~~facilities.~~facility. On March 15, 2021, we repaid our outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million under our revolving credit facility. See Note 6, "Debt," for further information. ~~As mentioned above,~~

During the ~~Company has taken actions to align expenses~~13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, we completed the ATM Offering which generated aggregate net proceeds of $551.7 million. See Note 1, "General Information" for further details. Additionally, during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, we repaid the remaining $73.2 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 6.75% unsecured senior notes due in March 2021, (the "2021 Senior Notes") and ~~inventory levels given~~we completed the ~~impacts~~voluntary early redemption of the ~~current operating environment and has projected it~~remaining $216.4 million balance of our outstanding 10.0% secured senior notes due 2023 ("2023 Senior Notes"). See Note 6, "Debt" for further details.

In light of our efforts to strengthen our balance sheet including the paydown of our debt obligations, we project we 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, 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 are guaranteed by the French government pursuant to a state guaranteed loan program instituted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 6, "Debt" for further information.

During the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company received $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 these leases, which represented most of the leases subject to COVID-19-related rent concessions, the Company reduced rent expense in the later of the month in which the landlord issued the rent concession or the month for which the rent concession related. For rent concessions in the form of 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~~our 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~~we continue to comply with all governmental health and safety requirements for ~~its~~our associates and customers while resuming and maintaining substantially full operations, the persistence and potential resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic may require ~~the Company~~us 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~~our suppliers, which may interrupt ~~the Company's~~our 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~~our 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~~our 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~~our foreign currency contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value, and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities.

~~The Company values its~~We value our 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.

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, operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the estimated fair value is below its carrying value. For these assets, ~~the Company does~~we do not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value; rather, when ~~it determines~~we determine that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its fair value.

As of October 31, 2020 the Company's unsecured 6.75% senior notes due in 2021 had a net carrying value of $197.9 million and a fair value of $197.9 million, and its secured 10.00% senior notes due in 2023 had a net carrying value of $216.0 million and a fair value of $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~~We conduct the substantial majority of ~~its~~our business with leased real estate properties, including retail stores, ~~warehouse~~fulfillment and distribution facilities and office space. ~~The Company~~We also ~~leases~~lease 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~~us 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~~our 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~~

Rent expense under 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,was 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 singlefollows (in millions):

(1) These term loans are government subsidized low interest loans that may be extended, subject to ~~unaffiliated third parties: i) its corporate headquarters and ancillary office space in Grapevine, Texas~~specified conditions, for ~~$28.5 million, net of costs~~up 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 39 weeks ended 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~~five additional 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 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.

In 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 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, the Company sold its 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 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. The net proceeds from the sale of these assets will be used for general corporateMicromania SAS's request.

French Term Loans

During fiscal 2020, our French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, entered into 6 separate unsecured term loans for a total of €40.0 million ($48.1 million as ~~it pertains to impacts~~ of ~~rent obligations due to COVID-19.~~May 1, 2021). The ~~Company recognized $82.2~~term loans all bear interest at 0%.

During the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, $0.6 million of store-level ROU asset impairment charges were recognized. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to ROU assets during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020 or the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019.

~~The weighted-average remaining lease term, which includes reasonably certain renewal options,~~July 2021 and the ~~weighted-average discount rate for operating leases included~~other 3 term loans totaling €20.0 million mature in ~~the measurement~~October 2021, and all of ~~the Company's lease liabilities, as of October 31, 2020, November 2, 2019, and February 1, 2020, were as follows:~~

Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)(1)
4.5 4.5 4.7

(1) The weighted-average remaining lease term is weighted based on the lease liability balance for each lease as of October 31, 2020, November 2, 2019 and February 1, 2020. This weighted average calculation differs from the Company's simple average remaining lease term due to the inclusion of reasonably certain renewal options and the effect of the lease liability value of longer term leases.

During the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $6.8 million of 2021 Senior Notes in open market transactions at prices ranging from 71.5% to 79.1% of face value, of which $0.5 million were extinguished as of May 2, 2020, with the remaining $6.3 million extinguished as of May 21, 2020. In connection with the exchange transaction described above, $216.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes were exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of 2023 Senior Notes, and all interest that had accrued on the 2021 Senior Notes that were exchanged was paid through July 6, 2020. Upon consummation of the exchange transaction and as of October 31, 2020, $198.2 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes remained outstanding.

In connection with the exchange transaction, the Company entered into the Fifth Supplemental Indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes. The Fifth Supplemental Indenture, which became effective on July 6, 2020, deleted certain restrictions in the original indenture relating to asset sales, liens, investments, stock repurchases, debt incurrence, debt repurchases and dividends.

Furthermore, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture eliminated certain events of default related to failures to pay, or acceleration of, debt (other than the 2021 Senior Notes), breaches of certain covenants,loans thereunder, including failure to pay ~~certain judgments~~any principal or interest when due, acceleration of other indebtedness, a change of control and certain ~~events of~~ bankruptcy, insolvency ~~and reorganization.~~

On November 10, 2020, the Company issued a notice to redeem, on December 11, 2020, $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes. See Note 11, "Subsequent Events," for further details.or receivership events.

Revolving Credit Facility

~~The Company maintains~~We maintain an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a borrowing base capacity ofup to $420 million and a maturity date of November 2022. The Revolver also includes a $200 million expansion feature and $100 million letter of credit sublimit, and allows for an incremental $50 million first-in, last-out facility. The applicable margins for prime rate loans range from 0.25% to 0.50% and, for the London Interbank Offered ~~(“LIBO”~~("LIBO") rate loans, range from 1.25% to 1.50%. The Revolver is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of ~~the Company and its~~our domestic ~~subsidiaries, such lien being junior to the lien in certain of such assets that secure the 2023 Senior Notes.~~

Borrowing availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows the Company to borrow up to 90% of the appraised value of its inventory (or 92.5% during the period of July 15 and October 15 of each year), plus 90% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow under the Revolver by an amount equal to the face value of the letters of credit. The Company's ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally permitted, except under certain circumstances, including if either (1) excess availability under the Revolver is less than 20%, or is projected to be within six months after such payment or (2) excess availability under the Revolver is less than 15%, or is projected to be within six months after such payment, and the fixed charge coverage ratio, as calculated on a pro-forma basis for the prior 12 months, is 1.0:1.0 or less. In the event that excess availability under the Revolver is at any time less than the greater of (1) $12.5 million or (2) 10% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, the Company will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0 (the "Availability Reduction").

~~The Revolver places certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, liens, investments, loans, guarantees, acquisitions and debt incurrence.~~

The per annum interest rate under the Revolver is variable and is calculated by applying a margin (1) for prime rate loans of 0.25% to 0.50% above the highest of (a) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBO rate for a one month interest period as determined on such day plus 1.00%, and (2) for LIBO rate loans of 1.25% to 1.50% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of the Company's average daily excess availability under the facility. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver.subsidiaries. As of ~~October 31, 2020,~~May 1, 2021, the applicable margin was 0.25% for prime rate loans and ~~1.25%~~1.19% for LIBO rate loans.

The agreement governing our Revolver ~~provides for~~places certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, including, among others, limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, incurrence of additional debt and share repurchases. Additionally, the agreement contains customary events of default, including, ~~for failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with~~among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants ~~failure~~and certain events of ~~any material representation or warranty proving to be true and correct in a material respect, certain~~ bankruptcy, insolvency ~~or receivership events affecting~~and reorganization. The Revolver is also subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant if excess availability is below certain thresholds (the "Availability Reduction").

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

In August 2020, the Company entered into the fourth amendment (“Fourth Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing the Revolver (“Credit Agreement”). The foregoing discussion of the Revolver gives effect to the Fourth Amendment, and the amendments therein include, but are not limited to the following:

•a reduction in the amount of the excess availability threshold that determines whether the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0 from the greater of $30 million and 10% of the borrowing base to the greater of $12.5 million and 10% of the borrowing base;

•~~an increase in the sublimit for the issuances of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement from $50 million to $100 million; and~~

•an increase in the amount of letters of credit permitted to be issued separately from, and not pursuant to, the Credit Agreement from $25 million to (i) up to $150 million for letters of credit issued for the benefit of borrowers/guarantors under the Credit Agreement and (ii) up to $75 million for letters of credit issued for the benefit of foreign subsidiaries, subject to the understanding that the outstanding amount of letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, combined with the outstanding amount of letters of credit otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, may not exceed $275 million in the aggregate.

Letter of Credit Facilities

Separately from the Revolver, ~~the Company maintains~~we maintain uncommitted letter of credit facilities with certain lenders that provide for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees, at times supported by cash collateral. As of ~~October 31, 2020, the Company~~May 1, 2021, we had ~~$90.2~~$38.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under facilities outside of the Revolver.

~~French Term Loans and Credit Facility~~

During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020, the Company's French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, entered into 6 separate unsecured term loans for a total of €40.0 million ($46.6 million as of October 31, 2020). The term loans all bear interest at 0%. NaN of the term loans totaling €20.0 million mature in June 2021 and the other 3 term loans totaling €20.0 million mature in October 2021, and all of them may be extended, subject to specified conditions, for up to ~~five~~ additional years at Micromania SAS's request. In connection with any extension, the interest rate would increase to a rate to be determined at the time of the extension. The French government has guaranteed 90% of the term loans pursuant to a state guaranteed loan program instituted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, Micromania SAS obtained a €20.0 million ($23.3 million as of October 31, 2020) credit facility that provides for term loans of 10 to 93 days in duration to support its working capital needs. This facility was scheduled to expire in June 2021, but in consideration for the issuance of additional term loans to Micromania SAS in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, Micromania SAS agreed to accelerate the maturity of this facility to January 2021. Loans made under this facility accrue interest at a variable rate tied to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.5% and are secured by a pledge of the bank account from which repayments of the loans would be made. NaN amounts have been drawn under this facility through October 31, 2020.

Each of Micromania SAS's term loans and short term credit facility, as described above, restrict the ability of Micromania SAS to make distributions and loans to its affiliates, including to the Company, and include various events that would result in the automatic acceleration of the loans thereunder, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, acceleration of other indebtedness, a change of control and certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events.

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~~We have certain undistributed stock awards that participate in dividends on a ~~nonforfeitable~~non-forfeitable 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.~~

A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per common share is as follows (in millions):

Shares of restricted stock granted by us are considered to be legally issued and outstanding as of the date of grant, notwithstanding that the shares remain subject to risk of forfeiture if the vesting conditions for such shares are not met, and are included in the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding disclosed on the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of June 1, 2021. Weighted average common shares outstanding excludes time-based and performance-based unvested shares of restricted Class A common stock, as restricted shares are treated as issued and outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such shares have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. As of May 1, 2021, May 2, 2020 and January 30, 2021 there were 2.6 million, 2.8 million and 4.6 million, respectively, of unvested shares of restricted stock. Accordingly, as of May 1, 2021, May 2, 2020 and January 30, 2021 there were 71.9 million, 67.4 million and 69.9 million, respectively, of shares of Class A common stock, including unvested restricted shares, legally issued and outstanding.

10. Income Taxes

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures include deferring the due dates of tax payments and other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws as well as providing direct government assistance through grants and forgivable loans. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic ~~Security~~Securities Act (the "CARES Act"), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the ~~U.S., includes~~United States, included measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. With respect to the CARES Act, ~~the Company currently expects to benefit~~we have benefited from the deferral of certain payroll taxes, ~~through the end of calendar year 2020,~~ the carryback of a fiscal 2020 net operating loss, ~~for fiscal 2020,~~ the modification of limitation on business interest and ~~certain~~the technical ~~corrections~~correction with respect to qualified improvement property. As a result of the carryback of NOLs allowed by the CARES Act, U.S. federal income tax receivable increased to $157.8 million as of May 1, 2021 compared to $22.9 million as of May 2, 2020. U.S. federal income tax receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet.

~~The Company~~

Our interim tax provision is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate and adjusted for discrete taxable events and/or adjustments that may occur during the quarter.We recognized an income tax ~~benefit~~expense of ~~$53.9~~$1.3 million, or (2.0%), for the 13 weeks ended ~~October 31, 2020~~May 1, 2021 compared to an income tax expense of ~~$31.6~~$50.4 million, or (43.9%), for the 13 weeks ended ~~November~~May 2, ~~2019. The Company's~~2020. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, our effective income tax rate ~~increased~~of (2.0%) is primarily due to ~~74.1%~~not providing tax benefits on current period losses because of valuation allowances recorded in prior periods, as well as forecasted income taxes due in certain limited foreign jurisdictions within which we operate. Our effective tax rate of (43.9%) for the 13 weeks ended ~~October 31,~~May 2, 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~~due to having recorded significant valuation allowance increases, partially offset by ~~a change in the~~certain tax ~~status of certain foreign entities, sale and leaseback transactions, the impact of~~benefits related to 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.

The Company recognized income tax expense of $14.4 million for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $6.2 million for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to (5.1)% for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to 1.3% for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019. The decrease in the effective income tax rate compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the establishment of a full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets, a change in the tax status of certain foreign entities,during that period.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.

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. Where the Company has determined existing deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized, it has established a valuation allowance against those net deferred tax assets, including in the U.S. and most foreign jurisdictions. The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of all deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis as it relates to expected future earnings. Should the Company fail to achieve its expected earnings in the coming periods, it may be necessary to establish a valuation allowance against some or all of its deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions not currently subject to a valuation allowance.

~~11. Subsequent Events~~

On November 10, 2020 the Company issued a notice of redemption to redeem $125.0 million of its outstanding 2021 Senior Notes, representing 63.1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount. The redemption date will be December 11, 2020 and the redemption price will be equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes being redeemed and will include accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Upon the redemption by the Company of the 2021 Senior Notes being redeemed, $73.2 million of 2021 Senior Notes will remain outstanding. See Note 6, "Debt," for further details on the 2021 Senior Notes.

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

Throughout fiscal 2020, we temporarily closed stores or limited store operations at various times across our four operating segments. During 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~~2021, temporary closures were ~~open, with approximately 15% of our stores~~limited to certain jurisdictions in Australia temporarily closed for approximately four weeks due to an outbreak of COVID-19.

Net sales in our United States, Canada, Australia and Europe segments increased by 27.0%, 55.9%, 1.0% and 25.0%, respectively, when compared to the same period last year. The increase in net sales for the quarter was primarily attributable to sales volume from the launch of the new video game consoles from Sony and Microsoft and continued strong sales of the Nintendo gaming product lines coupled with the increase in store traffic compared to the same period last year as a result of the abrupt temporary store closures we experienced beginning in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increases in the hardware and accessory category and the collectibles category were partially offset by a decline in the software category as

Comparable store sales decreased 24.6% and 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 due to~~throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the cyclicality of new hardware consoles as our third fiscal quarter was the final period prior to the launch of new generation of video game consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Although the substantial majority of our stores were open during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the negative impact related to the ongoing 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, which were partially offset by the performance in our Australia segment which increased in sales by 10.0% as stores in Australia remained open during for the substantial majority of the year-to-date period. These declines were partially offset by the increase in our e-commerce sales, which increased 257.4% and 432.9% in the current quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to the priorpast 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.

Net sales during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020 in our United States, Canada, Australia and Europe segments declined by 32.7%, 29.9%, 5.0% and 31.9%, respectively, when compared to the 13 weeks ended November 2, 2019. Comparable store sales in the United States, Canada and Europe decreased by 27.1%, 25.7% and 27.1%, respectively, while comparable store sales increased in the Australia segment by 0.6% primarily due to the same factors described above.

Net sales during the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 in our United States, Canada and Europe segments declined by 33.3%, 36.2% and 36.7%, respectively, while net sales in our Australia segment increased 10.0%, when compared to the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019.

The charges consist of $3.2 million in impairment charges related to our formerly-owned corporate aircraft, which we sold in the second fiscal quarter of 2020 and $1.6 million in impairment charges associated with store-level assets.

~~During the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019 we recognized asset impairment charges totaling $11.3~~$3.9 million, consisting of a ~~$7.7~~$2.7 million impairment of our corporate aircraft, which was classified as held for sale as of ~~November~~May 2, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$3.6~~$1.2 million in impairment charges related to store-level property and equipment. During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge totaling $363.9 million, primarily as a result of a decline in our market capitalization. As a result of the goodwill impairment charge, we have no remaining goodwill.

~~Gain on Sale of Assets~~

During 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. 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 and 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.

~~Interest~~During the first fiscal quarter of 2021, interest expense, net increased by ~~$3.7~~$18.0 million ~~(61.7%) during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020~~ compared to the ~~13 weeks ended November 2, 2019,~~same fiscal period in 2020, primarily due to ~~an increase in interest expense as a result of~~ the ~~increase in~~$17.8 million make-whole premium paid upon 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 thevoluntary early redemption of ~~our $350.0 million 2019~~the outstanding balance of the 2023 Senior Notes on April 4, 2019, the repurchase of $53.6 million and $6.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020, respectively, offset by an increase in interest expense 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.Notes.

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 $14.4 million for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $6.2 million for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019. Our effective income tax rate decreased to (5.1)% for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to 1.3% for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019. The decrease in the effective

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand and our revolving credit facilities. As of ~~October 31, 2020,~~May 1, 2021, we had total unrestricted cash on hand of ~~$445.9~~$694.7 million and an additional ~~$175.4~~$99.9 million of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities. On March 15, 2021, we repaid our outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million under the Revolver.

~~Availability~~During the first fiscal quarter of 2021, we sold 3,500,000 shares of common stock under our ~~revolving credit facilities, which was increased~~"at-the-market" equity offering program (the "ATM Offering"). We generated $556.7 million in gross proceeds from the ATM Offering and paid fees to the sales agent of $5.0 million. Additionally, we incurred $0.2 million in other administrative fees in connection with the ATM Offering during the 13 weeks ended ~~October 31, 2020, as described~~May 1, 2021 which is included in selling, general and administration expenses on the ~~Sources~~consolidated statement of ~~Liquidity section below, provides us additional liquidity throughout~~operation. We have used, and intend to continue to use, the ~~course of the year to fund our operations. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash~~$551.7 million in net proceeds generated from ~~our operating activities~~the ATM Offering for working capital and ~~funds available under~~general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness, funding our ~~revolving credit facilities together will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and~~ transformation initiatives and ~~support corporate~~product category expansion efforts, capital ~~allocation programs for the next 12 months~~expenditures and the ~~foreseeable future. While factors related to COVID-19 have negatively impacted~~satisfaction of our ~~results for~~tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock held by our executive officers and other employees.

Additionally, during 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~~fiscal quarter of ~~fiscal 2020, have improved as~~2021, we ~~continued to achieve~~repaid the ~~cash flow benefits from cost savings~~remaining $73.2 million aggregate principal amount of our then outstanding 2021 Senior Notes and ~~expense reduction initiatives, as well as disciplined working capital management which supports an improved liquidity position.~~the remaining $216.4 million aggregate principal amount of our then outstanding 2023 Senior Notes. See Note 6, "Debt," for further details on the debt transactions.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate and consider certain strategic operating alternatives, including divestitures, restructuring or dissolution of unprofitable business segments, as well as equity 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 2023 Senior Notes in exchange for an equal aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes. See Note 6, "Debt," for further details on this debt exchange. The nature, amount and timing of any strategic operational change, or financing 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; our commitments and obligations; our capital requirements; limitations imposed under our 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 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 the COVID-19 pandemic 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 number of new software releases, and related payment terms, we have increased the amount of credit support collateral we provide to select vendors for our inventory purchase obligations. Our continued provision of collateral, and the levels of such collateral, will depend on a variety of factors, including our inventory purchase levels, available payment terms for inventories, availability of borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, favorable credit terms and costs of providing collateral. See Note 1, "General Information — Restricted Cash" for further details.

Cash Flows

During the 3913 weeks ended ~~October 31, 2020,~~May 1, 2021, cash ~~used in operations was $41.1~~flows from operating activities were an outflow of $18.8 million, compared ~~to $654.8~~with an outflow of $49.3 million during the ~~39 weeks ended November 2, 2019. The decrease~~same period last year. Our net loss for the fiscal quarter included charges and credits that did not impact operating cash flow, including depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt and stock-based compensation partially offset by cash from operations. Overall, our cash from operations benefited from continued improvements in ~~cash used in operations~~working capital as a result of ~~$613.7 million was primarily attributable to the optimization of~~optimizing inventory and accounts payable levels ~~as we have focused our operational process to optimize~~through optimizing the cash conversion cycle and ~~carry~~ more efficient carrying levels of inventory.

The ~~$120.2 million increase~~decrease in cash provided by investing activities is primarily attributable to the proceeds from the sale and leaseback of five properties including our headquarter facilities in the United States, Australia and Canada as well as a refurbishment center and ancillary office space in Grapevine, Texas, lowerhigher capital expenditures in current year.

Cash flows from financing activities were an inflow of $169.3 million during the ~~current year period and $8.6~~13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 compared to an inflow of $131.9 million ~~net~~during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020.

The cash inflow during the 13 weeks ended ~~October 31,~~May 2, 2020 ~~cash provided by financing activities~~ was ~~$65.5 million, consisting~~ primarily ~~of $47.1 million in proceeds from term loans entered into by our French subsidiary, Micromania SAS and~~due to a net ~~$25.0~~$135.0 million draw down on our ~~Revolver.

consisting primarily of the redemption of our $350 million in aggregate principal of 5.5% unsecured senior notes, repurchases of our common stock totaling $176.9 million, open market repurchases of $53.6 million of our 2021 Senior Notes and dividends paid on our common stock of $40.5 million.

Sources of ~~Liquidity~~Liquidity; Uses of Capital

We utilize cash generated from operations and have funds available to us under ~~our asset-based~~the Revolver to cover seasonal fluctuations in cash flows and to support our various initiatives. Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and consist primarily of time deposits with commercial banks.

~~Our asset-based~~We maintain the Revolver ~~has~~with a borrowing base capacity of $420 million and a maturity date of November 2022. ~~Our~~The Revolver ~~has~~also includes a $200 million expansion feature and $100 million letter of credit sublimit, and allows for an incremental $50 million first-in, last-out facility. ~~The applicable margins for prime rate loans range from 0.25% to 0.50% and, for London Interbank Offered ("LIBO") rate loans, range from 1.25% to 1.50%. The Revolver is secured by substantially all~~As of the ~~assets~~end of the ~~Company~~first quarter of 2021, based on our borrowing base and ~~the assets~~amounts reserved for outstanding letters of its domestic subsidiaries. We are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of October 31, 2020, our applicable margins were 0.25% for prime rate loans and 1.25% for LIBO rate loans. Also as of October 31, 2020,credit, total availability under the Revolver after giving effect to the Availability Reduction was ~~$152.1 million, with outstanding borrowings of $25.0~~$99.9 million, and as of May 1, 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolver and $44.0 million of standby letters of credit ~~of $59.8 million.~~

The agreement governing our Revolver and the indentures governing our 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes place certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, including, among others, limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, incurrence of additional debt and share repurchases. In addition, the agreement governing our Revolver and the indentures governing our 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes contain customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. The Revolver is also subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant if excess availability is below certain thresholds (the "Availability Reduction"). We are currently in compliance with all covenantswere outstanding under the ~~indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes and the agreement governing our~~ Revolver.

As of October 31, 2020, our 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $198.2 million and $216.4 million, respectively. Additionally, as of October 31, 2020, our term loans entered into by our French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, had an aggregate principal balance of €40.0 million ($46.6 million as of October 31, 2020).

~~See Note 6, “Debt,” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.~~

Our French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, also maintains a credit facility of €20.0 million ($23.3 million as of October 31, 2020) that allows it to obtain short term loans of 10 to 93 days in duration to support its working capital needs. The commitments expire in January 2021. Loans made under the credit facility accrue interest at a variable rate tied to the Euro Interbank offered Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.5% and are secured by a pledge of the bank account from which repayments of the loans would be made. No amounts have been drawn under this facility through October 31, 2020.

In August 2020, we entered into the fourth amendment (“Fourth Amendment”) to the credit agreement governing our Revolver (“Credit Agreement”) giving effect to certain amendments, which are incorporated above and include, but are not limited to the following:

•Reduced the amount of the excess availability trigger that determines whether the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0 from the greater of $30 million and 10% of the borrowing base to the greater of $12.5 million and 10% of the borrowing base;

•~~Increased the sublimit for the issuances of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement from $50 million to $100 million; and~~

•Increased the amount of letters of credit debt permitted to be issued separately from, and not pursuant to, the Credit Agreement from $25 million to (i) up to $150 million for letters of credit issued by borrowers/guarantors under the Credit Agreement and (ii) up to $75 million for letters of credit issued for the benefit of foreign subsidiaries, subject to the understanding that the outstanding amount of letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement, combined with the outstanding amount of letters of credit otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement cannot exceed $275 million in the aggregate.

Separately from the ~~asset-based~~ Revolver, we maintain uncommitted ~~letter of credit~~ facilities with certain lenders that provide for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees, at times supported by cash collateral. WeAs of May 1, 2021, we had ~~$90.2~~$38.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and other bank guarantees under facilities outside of the Revolver.

See Note 6, "Debt," for additional information.

We may also fund our operating expenses and growth capital needs, as circumstances warrant, from sales of equity securities. The timing and amount of any sales of equity ~~sales~~securities would depend on, among other factors, our capital needs and alternative sources and costs of capital available to us, market perceptions about us, and the then current trading price of our common equity. As discussed above, during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we sold 3,500,000 shares of common stock in the ATM Offering. We have used, and intend to continue to use, the $551.7 million in net proceeds that we generate from the ATM Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including funding our transformation initiatives and product category expansion efforts, repayment of indebtedness, capital expenditures and the satisfaction of our tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock held by our executive officers and other employees.

Tax withholding obligations arise upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock and these obligations must be satisfied at the time they arise through cash payments to the applicable taxing authorities. The amount of the tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock is dependent on the price of our shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the applicable vesting date. As discussed within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K,

2819

Table of Contents

we may elect to satisfy these tax withholding obligations by withholding and canceling a portion of the shares subject to vesting (sometimes referred to as "share withholding") and remitting cash to the tax authorities at the applicable statutory rates on behalf of the holder(s) of the applicable award. Depending on the price of our common stock on the vesting date, the amount of these cash payments due for taxes in respect of restricted shares that are scheduled to vest or that may be accelerated in connection with certain events (such as cessation of a grantee's employment) in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 could be substantial and could have a negative impact on our liquidity and ability to use funds for operational purposes. Our common stock price has recently experienced extreme price fluctuations. For illustrative purposes, assuming a stock price of $249.02 per share (the price of our shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 1, 2021), we estimate that the aggregate amount of our tax withholding obligations on account of second quarter vesting events will be at least $74.6 million and could be up to $157.2 million depending on whether we arrange for share withholding in respect of vesting events anticipated to occur later in the quarter. The actual amount of the tax obligations and the number of shares to be canceled (or sold in the open market in the event the applicable employee were to arrange for broker-assisted sell-to-cover transactions in lieu of share withholding for shares that vest after June 9, 2021) could be higher or lower, depending on the price of our common stock upon vesting, the applicable tax withholding rates then in effect, the price at which any broker-assisted sell-to-cover transactions (if any) were to occur and the number (if any) of restricted stock awards that are forfeited prior to vesting.
