Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company”, “we,” “us” and “our”), any predecessor companies and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dave & Buster’s Holdings, Inc. (“D&B Holdings”), which owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dave & Busters, Inc. (“D&B Inc”), the operating company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a leading operator of high-volume entertainment and dining venues (“stores”) in North America for adults and families under the name “Dave & Buster’s”. The Company operates its business as one operating and one reportable segment. As of May 3, 2020, we owned and operated 137 stores located in 39 states, Puerto Rico and one Canadian province. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we opened one store in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on March 16, 2020. The Company operates on a 52 or 53-week The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Our quarterly financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended February 2, 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K Going concern COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of impact of these conditions will be based in part on the duration of the store closures or re-opening re-engaging off-premises June 4, 2020 states. Our remaining stores are closed. The Company is unable to determine whether, when or the manner in which the conditions surrounding the COVID-19 re-imposed re-engage The Company has taken several immediate steps to reduce operating costs and to conserve cash. The Company furloughed nearly all of its workforce, except a small team of essential personnel and reduced pay and benefits for the remaining employees. On March 18, 2020, the Company borrowed substantially all the remaining availability under its revolving credit facility, and the Company continues to actively manage its daily cash flows. Additionally, the Company is in ongoing discussions with landlords and other vendors to discuss relief from cash payments during this period, which have been moderately successful to date. On April 14, 2020, the Company sold $75,000 of our common stock, and subsequent to the end of our first quarter, the Company sold an additional $110,600 of our common stock. Effective April 14, 2020, the Company negotiated an amendment to its existing credit facility, which included relief from compliance with financial covenants for the periods ended May 3, 2020, August 2, 2020 and November 1, 2020. During the financial covenant suspension period, the Company is required to maintain a minimum liquidity amount of $30,000. If the Company is Although the lenders under the existing credit facility may waive the default or forebear the exercise of remedies, they are not obligated to do so. Failure to obtain additional waivers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and may result in filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code to implement a restructuring plan. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. We believe that the carrying amount of our credit facility approximates its fair value because the interest rates reflect current market conditions. The fair value of the Company’s credit facility was determined to be a Level Two instrument as defined by GAAP. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is determined based upon Level Two inputs which includes valuation models as reported by our counterparties. These valuation models are based on the present value of expected cash flows using forward rate curves. Non-financial right-of-use The disruption in operations and reduction in revenues COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 To preserve cash flow, we have halted or delayed construction on 7 store locations under operating leases for which we have taken possession. Additionally, the Company has begun discussions to terminate or delay possession on several executed lease contracts that have not yet commenced. The Company is also curtailing several potential new store projects that were in the early stage of development. During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, we recorded an impairment loss and related contract termination costs of $4,803 related to these abandoned projects, which is included in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Interest rate swaps one-month The Company initially designated its interest rate swap agreements as a cash flow hedge and accounted for the underlying activity in accordance with hedge accounting. Effective April 14, 2020, the Company amended its existing credit facility agreement to obtain relief from its financial covenants, and as a result, the variable interest rate terms were modified to create an interest rate floor of 1.00%. Accordingly, and as a result of the current forward interest rate curve, the Company discontinued the hedging relationship as of April 14, 2020 (de-designation pre-tax de-designation, in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020, a loss of $820 was recognized, which is included in “Other store operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Prior to the de-designation, Credit risk related to the failure of the our counterparties to perform under the terms of the swap agreements is minimized by entering into transactions with carefully selected, credit-worthy parties and the fact that the swap contracts are distributed among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. Our swap agreements with our derivative counterparties contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, and repayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated, the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The following derivative instruments were outstanding as of the end of the periods indicated: Fair Value Balance S May 3, 2020 February 2, 2020 Interest rate swaps Accrued liabilities $ (7,920 ) $ (3,518 ) Interest rate swaps Other liabilities (10,016 ) (6,967 ) Total derivatives (1) $ (17,936 ) $ (10,485 ) (1) The balance at May 3, 2020 relates to our swap agreements after hedge accounting was discontinued, effective April 14, 2020.

In jurisdictions where we do not have a legal obligation to remit unredeemed balances Stockholders’ equity indefinitely In our consolidated financial statements, the Company treats shares withheld for tax purposes on behalf of our employees in connection with the vesting of time-based and performance restricted stock units as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan. During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019, we withheld 3,112 and 11,336 shares of common stock to satisfy $36 and $586 of employees’ tax obligations, respectively.
