Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying 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 & Buster’s, Inc. (“D&B Inc”), the operating company. The Company, headquartered in Coppell, Texas, is a leading operator of high-volume entertainment and dining venues (“stores”) in North America for adults and families. During the nine months ended November 5, 2024, the Company opened nine stores, and as of November 5, 2024, the Company owned and operated 227 stores in 44 states, Puerto Rico and one Canadian province. The Company operates its business as two operating segments based on its major brands, Dave & Buster's and Main Event. The Company has one reportable segment as both brands provide similar products and services to a similar customer base, are managed together by a single management team and share similar economic characteristics. Fiscal Calendar — The Company has historically operated on a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday after the Saturday closest to January 31. Each quarterly period reported has 13 weeks, except for 53-week fiscal years when the fourth quarter has 14 weeks. Fiscal 2023, which ended on February 4, 2024, followed this calendar and had 53 weeks. The first quarter of fiscal 2024 also followed this calendar and had 13 weeks. On May 6, 2024, the first day of the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company changed its fiscal year to end on the Tuesday after the Monday closest to January 31 st . The change was made to improve labor and operational efficiencies by ending the Company's periods outside of the busier weekend timeframe. As a result of this change, the second quarter and fiscal year 2024 have two additional days added to its normal 13-week quarter and 52-week year. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 will end on February 4, 2025. Basis of Presentation — 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 4, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 three and nine months ended November 5, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending February 4, 2025. Cash and Cash Equivalents — We consider transaction settlements in process from credit card companies and all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash management system provides for the daily funding of all major bank disbursement accounts as checks are presented for payment. Under this system, outstanding checks in excess of the cash balances at certain banks can create book overdrafts. There were no book overdrafts as of November 5, 2024 or as of February 4, 2024. Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. 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. The fair value of the Company’s debt is determined based on traded price data as of the measurement date, which we classify as a level two input within the fair value hierarchy as defined under GAAP. The fair value of the Company's debt was as follows as of the periods indicated: November 5, 2024 February 4, 2024 Revolving credit facility $ 101.0 — Term loans 1,388.8 898.3 Senior secured notes — 445.0 $ 1,489.8 $ 1,343.3 Revenues — Our entertainment revenues primarily consist of attractions including redemption and simulation games, bowling, laser tag, billiards and gravity ropes. Our food and beverage revenues consist of full meals, appetizers and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Company's revenue for these categories was as follows: Nine Months Ended November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 Entertainment $ 1,038.3 $ 1,035.4 Other (1) 17.7 20.5 Entertainment revenues $ 1,056.0 $ 1,055.9 Food and non-alcoholic beverages $ 370.4 $ 370.8 Alcoholic beverages 171.8 179.6 Food and beverage revenues $ 542.2 $ 550.4 (1) Primarily consists of revenue earned from party rentals and gift card breakage (see Revenue recognition below). Revenue Recognition — Customers purchase cards with game play credits or “chips” to be used on a variety of redemption and simulation games. Entertainment revenues related to game play primarily consist of game play credits, which are used by customers to activate video and redemption games. Redemption games allow customers to earn tickets, which may be redeemed for prizes. We have deferred a portion of entertainment revenues for the estimated unfulfilled performance obligations related to unredeemed game play credits and tickets. The deferral is based on an estimated rate of future use by customers of unused game play credits and the material right provided to customers to redeem tickets in the future for prizes. The Company recognizes expected breakage as revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption by the customers. This breakage is based on the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns and will change as those redemption patterns change over time. Recognized game play credits and tickets breakage revenue is included in entertainment revenues in the statement of comprehensive income. During the nine months ended November 5, 2024, we recognized revenue of $66.5 related to the amount in deferred entertainment revenues as of the end of fiscal 2023. We recognize revenue on unredeemed gift cards in proportion to the pattern of redemption by the customers. During the nine months ended November 5, 2024, we recognized revenue of $10.3 related to the amount in deferred gift card revenue as of the end of fiscal 2023. These revenues are included in Entertainment revenues on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Earnings Per Share — Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net income per share, the basic weighted average shares outstanding is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share awards. Stock options and restricted share awards with an anti-dilutive effect are not included in the diluted net income per share calculation. Basic weighted average shares outstanding are reconciled to diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 39.11 41.81 39.65 44.27 Weighted average dilutive impact of awards — — 0.95 0.82 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 39.11 41.81 40.60 45.09 Weighted average awards excluded as anti-dilutive 1.55 1.62 0.32 0.90 Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which requires expanded disclosures of expense information including the amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, depletion and selling expenses within commonly presented expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects ASU 2024-03 to require additional disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and currently does not plan early adoption. See discussion at Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 for previously issued accounting pronouncements that may have an impact to the Company in the future. Accounting Reclassifications — We reclassified $2.8 to cost of entertainment and $8.3 to cost of food and beverage, respectively, from other store operating expenses for the nine months ended October 29, 2023 to be consistent with the presentation for the nine months ended November 5, 2024. We determined that reclassifying the expenses, which are primarily related to inventory items provided to customers during promotions and events, results in a clearer presentation of the cost of goods sold.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases We currently lease most of the buildings or sites for our stores, store support center, and warehouse space under facility operating leases. These leases typically have initial terms ranging from ten Operating lease cost, variable lease cost and short-term lease cost related primarily to our facilities is included in “Other store operating expenses” for our operating stores, “Pre-opening costs” for our stores not yet operating, or “General and administrative expenses” for our store support center and warehouse, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The components of lease expense, including variable lease costs primarily consisting of common area maintenance charges and property taxes, are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 Operating lease cost $ 50.3 $ 49.4 $ 151.3 $ 146.6 Variable lease cost 10.1 9.7 31.6 29.3 Short-term lease cost 0.8 0.8 1.6 2.4 Total $ 61.2 $ 59.9 $ 184.5 $ 178.3 Operating lease payments in the table above includes minimum lease payments for future sites for which the leases have commenced. As of November 5, 2024, the Company had signed lease agreements with total lease payments of $139.6 related to seven facility leases which had not yet commenced. Fixed minimum lease payments related to these facilities are not included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of November 5, 2024. Sale-leaseback transactions In July 2024, the Company entered into a sale and master lease agreement (a "sale-leaseback") with an unrelated third party. Under this agreement, the Company sold two of its store properties, including land, buildings and certain improvements, at a sale price of $44.8 and then leased the assets back through the sale-leaseback transaction. In September 2024, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback with an unrelated third party. Under this agreement, the Company sold one of its store properties, including land, buildings and certain improvements, at a sale price of $28.5 and then leased the assets back through the sale-leaseback transaction. These transactions were accounted for as failed sale-leasebacks based on GAAP under ASC 842, Leases . As a result, the store property assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet at their historical net book value and are depreciated over the remaining term of the applicable master lease. Financing liabilities were recognized in the amount of the proceeds received, net of certain transactions costs, in the amount of $44.3 and $28.0 related to the July 2024 and September 2024 transactions, respectively. The Company will not recognize rent expense related to the leased assets. Instead, monthly rent payments under the applicable master lease agreement (initially, $3.6 and $2.1 per year related to the July 2024 and September 2024 transactions, respectively) will be recorded as interest expense and a reduction of the outstanding liability. As of November 5, 2024, including the transactions noted above, the Company had financing liabilities related to seven properties. The current outstanding liability of $0.3 is included in accrued liabilities and the long-term outstanding liability of $155.0 is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt Long-term debt consisted of the following as of the dates presented: November 5, 2024 February 4, 2024 Credit facility—revolver $ 101.0 $ — Credit facility—term loans 1,391.0 897.8 Senior secured notes — 440.0 Total debt outstanding 1,492.0 1,337.8 Less current installments of long-term debt (7.0) (9.0) Less debt issue discounts and debt issuance costs (40.2) (44.8) Long-term debt, net $ 1,444.8 $ 1,284.0 Credit Facility The Company has a senior secured credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") including a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a term loan facility (together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). On November 1, 2024, D&B Inc. entered into an amendment with its banking syndicate, which amended the Credit Facility (the "Fourth Amendment"). For discussion of prior amendments, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024. The Fourth Amendment, among other things: • provides for a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 (the “Incremental Term B Loans”) with a maturity date of November 1, 2031, and • increased the Revolving Credit Facility by $150.0 to a total $650.0 and extended the maturity to November 1, 2029. The proceeds from the Incremental Term B Loans were primarily used to: • redeem the $440.0 of outstanding senior secured notes (see 7.625% Senior Secured Notes below), and • pay down $200.0 of the term loans outstanding under the Credit Facility immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment (the “Existing Term B Loans”). Both the Existing Term B Loans and the Incremental Term B Loans bear interest at Term SOFR or ABR (each, as defined in the amended Credit Facility) plus (i) in the case of Term SOFR loans, 3.25% per annum and (ii) in the case of ABR loans, 2.25% per annum. Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest subject to a pricing grid based on net total leverage, at Term SOFR plus a spread ranging from 2.50% to 3.00% per annum or ABR plus a spread ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum. Unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility incur initial commitment fees of 0.30% to 0.50%. Additionally, the interest rate margin applicable to the Existing Term B Loans and loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility would be subject to an additional 0.25% step-down if a rating of B1/B+ or higher from Moody’s and S&P is achieved (which will step back up if such rating is subsequently not maintained). A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility not to exceed $35.0 is available for the issuance of letters of credit. As of November 5, 2024, we had letters of credit outstanding of $11.6 and an unused commitment balance of $537.4 under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facility may be increased through incremental facilities, by an amount equal to the greater of (i) $650.0 and (ii) 0.75 times trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, plus additional amounts subject to compliance with applicable leverage ratio and/or interest coverage ratio requirements. The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by D&B Holdings and certain of D&B Inc.’s existing and future wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries. 7.625% Senior Secured Notes During fiscal 2020, the Company issued $550.0 aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior secured notes (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on November 1 and May 1 of each year. The Notes mature on November 1, 2025, unless earlier redeemed, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the related indenture. The Notes were issued by D&B Inc. and are unconditionally guaranteed by D&B Holdings and certain of D&B Inc.’s existing and future wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries. During fiscal 2021, the Company redeemed a total of $110.0 outstanding principal amount of the Notes. On November 1, 2024, using the proceeds from the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Facility discussed above, the Company redeemed the remaining $440.0 outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Loss on debt refinancing Term Loans — Immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment, the Company had $35.1 of unamortized debt issuance discounts and debt issuance costs. In connection with the Fourth Amendment described above, certain lenders exited the syndicate and were replaced by new syndicate members. The term loans, in the aggregate, were increased, a portion of the term loan facility was deemed extinguished, and a portion was determined to be modified. As a result, $4.1 of unamortized costs were written off and $8.2 of new fees were expensed on the modified portion resulting in a total charge of $12.3 included in loss on debt refinancing on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The remaining unamortized issuance discounts and new issuance discount and costs immediately subsequent to the refinancings were deferred and are amortized into interest expense, net over the remaining term of the Existing Term B Loans and the Incremental Term B Loans. Revolving Credit Facility — Immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment, the Company had $3.8 of unamortized debt issuance costs. In connection with the Fourth Amendment described above, certain lenders exited the syndicate and were replaced by new syndicate members. The Revolving Credit Facility was increased in size, a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was deemed extinguished, and a portion was determined to be modified. As a result, $0.6 of unamortized costs were written off and included in loss on debt refinancing on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The remaining unamortized issuance discounts and new issuance costs immediately subsequent to the refinancings were deferred and are amortized into interest expense, net over the remaining term of the Credit Facility. The Notes — Immediately prior to paying down the Notes, the Company had $2.3 of unamortized debt issuance costs. The Notes were deemed fully extinguished, and all such costs were included in loss on debt refinancing on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Restrictive covenants and debt compliance Our debt agreements contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, place certain limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make loans or advances to subsidiaries and other entities, pay dividends, acquire other businesses or sell assets. The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain a maximum net total leverage ratio, as defined, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. As of November 5, 2024, we believe we were in compliance with all agreements, including all related covenants, governing our outstanding debt. Interest expense The Company’s weighted average effective interest rate on our total debt facilities was 9.3% and 10.3% for the nine months ended November 5, 2024 and October 29, 2023, respectively. The following table sets forth our recorded interest expense, net for the periods presented: Nine Months Ended November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 Interest expense on debt $ 88.3 $ 90.7 Interest associated with swap agreements — (0.4) Amortization of debt issue discount and debt issuance cost 8.4 8.6 Interest expense on sale-leasebacks (1) 5.4 — Interest income (0.4) (4.6) Capitalized interest (1.8) (1.8) Total interest expense, net $ 99.9 $ 92.5 (1)

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity and Share-Based Compensation	Stockholders' Equity and Share-Based Compensation Share issuances and repurchases The Company treats shares withheld for tax purposes on behalf of our employees in connection with the vesting of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These were immaterial for all periods presented. Our Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program with a total authorization limit of $500.0. During the nine months ended November 5, 2024, the Company repurchased 2.04 million shares at an average of $43.25 per share. The remaining dollar value of shares that may be repurchased under the program was $112.0 as of November 5, 2024. Future decisions to repurchase shares continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent on our operating performance, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant. Share-based compensation Our compensation expense related to share-based compensation was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 General and administrative expenses $ 2.8 $ 3.5 $ 9.1 $ 15.4 Share-based awards Our share-based compensation award activity during the nine months ended November 5, 2024 was as follows: Options Restricted Total Outstanding at February 4, 2024 0.82 1.51 2.33 Granted 0.08 0.18 0.26 Exercised (0.17) n/a (0.17) Performance adjusted units n/a (0.06) (0.06) RSUs vested n/a (0.08) (0.08) Forfeited (0.06) (0.24) (0.30) Outstanding at November 5, 2024 0.67 1.31 1.98 Remaining unrecognized compensation expense $ 2.9 $ 20.0 $ 22.9 The fair value of our time-based and performance-based restricted stock units is based on our closing stock price on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The grant date fair value of performance-based awards with market conditions was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The unrecognized expense will be substantially recognized by the end of fiscal 2027. During the nine months ended November 5, 2024, the Company granted certain options and time-based and performance-based restricted stock units to employees and directors of the Company. These grants vest over a range of one year to five years. Certain of the market-based restricted stock units can vest earlier if the targets are achieved prior to that time. As a result, the requisite service period for such grants was determined to be less than the explicit service period.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Nov. 05, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Calendar	Fiscal Calendar — The Company has historically operated on a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday after the Saturday closest to January 31. Each quarterly period reported has 13 weeks, except for 53-week fiscal years when the fourth quarter has 14 weeks. Fiscal 2023, which ended on February 4, 2024, followed this calendar and had 53 weeks. The first quarter of fiscal 2024 also followed this calendar and had 13 weeks. On May 6, 2024, the first day of the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company changed its fiscal year to end on the Tuesday after the Monday closest to January 31 st
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation — 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 4, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of estimates	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 three and nine months ended November 5, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending February 4, 2025.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents — We consider transaction settlements in process from credit card companies and all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash management system provides for the daily funding of all major bank disbursement accounts as checks are presented for payment. Under this system, outstanding checks in excess of the cash balances at certain banks can create book overdrafts. There were no book overdrafts as of November 5, 2024 or as of February 4, 2024.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. 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. The fair value of the Company’s debt is determined based on traded price data as of the measurement date, which we classify as a level two input within the fair value hierarchy as defined under GAAP. The fair value of the Company's debt was as follows as of the periods indicated: November 5, 2024 February 4, 2024 Revolving credit facility $ 101.0 — Term loans 1,388.8 898.3 Senior secured notes — 445.0 $ 1,489.8 $ 1,343.3
Revenue	Revenues — Our entertainment revenues primarily consist of attractions including redemption and simulation games, bowling, laser tag, billiards and gravity ropes. Our food and beverage revenues consist of full meals, appetizers and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Company's revenue for these categories was as follows: Nine Months Ended November 5, 2024 October 29, 2023 Entertainment $ 1,038.3 $ 1,035.4 Other (1) 17.7 20.5 Entertainment revenues $ 1,056.0 $ 1,055.9 Food and non-alcoholic beverages $ 370.4 $ 370.8 Alcoholic beverages 171.8 179.6 Food and beverage revenues $ 542.2 $ 550.4 (1) Primarily consists of revenue earned from party rentals and gift card breakage (see Revenue recognition below). Revenue Recognition — Customers purchase cards with game play credits or “chips” to be used on a variety of redemption and simulation games. Entertainment revenues related to game play primarily consist of game play credits, which are used by customers to activate video and redemption games. Redemption games allow customers to earn tickets, which may be redeemed for prizes. We have deferred a portion of entertainment revenues for the estimated unfulfilled performance obligations related to unredeemed game play credits and tickets. The deferral is based on an estimated rate of future use by customers of unused game play credits and the material right provided to customers to redeem tickets in the future for prizes. The Company recognizes expected breakage as revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption by the customers. This breakage is based on the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns and will change as those redemption patterns change over time. Recognized game play credits and tickets breakage revenue is included in entertainment revenues in the statement of comprehensive income. During the nine months ended November 5, 2024, we recognized revenue of $66.5 related to the amount in deferred entertainment revenues as of the end of fiscal 2023. We recognize revenue on unredeemed gift cards in proportion to the pattern of redemption by the customers. During the nine months ended November 5, 2024, we recognized revenue of $10.3 related to the amount in deferred gift card revenue as of the end of fiscal 2023. These revenues are included in Entertainment revenues on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which requires expanded disclosures of expense information including the amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, depletion and selling expenses within commonly presented expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects ASU 2024-03 to require additional disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and currently does not plan early adoption. See discussion at Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 4, 2024 for previously issued accounting pronouncements that may have an impact to the Company in the future.
Accounting Reclassifications	Accounting Reclassifications — We reclassified $2.8 to cost of entertainment and $8.3 to cost of food and beverage, respectively, from other store operating expenses for the nine months ended October 29, 2023 to be consistent with the presentation for the nine months ended November 5, 2024. We determined that reclassifying the expenses, which are primarily related to inventory items provided to customers during promotions and events, results in a clearer presentation of the cost of goods sold.
