| General Information | General Information The Company GameStop Corp. ("GameStop," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation established in 1996, offers games, collectibles, and entertainment products through its stores and ecommerce platforms. We operate our business in three geographic segments: United States, Australia and Europe. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we divested our operations in Canada, which previously comprised a fourth separate reporting segment. See Note 8, "Segment Information," for additional information. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements refers to continuing operations unless otherwise noted. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated 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 exclude certain disclosures required under GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026 ("fiscal 2025") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 24, 2026. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, our results of operations for the three months ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of our future results for the year ending January 30, 2027 ("fiscal 2026"). Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Fiscal 2026 consists of 52 weeks ending January 30, 2027. Fiscal 2025 consisted of 52 weeks ended on January 31, 2026. All three-month periods presented herein contain 13 weeks. All references to years, quarters and months relate to fiscal periods rather than calendar periods. 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 a significant portion of sales and operating profit realized during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, which includes the holiday selling season. Although the fourth quarter remains our largest period, its relative contribution has moderated compared to historical levels. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. We regularly evaluate the estimates related to our assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions that we have used could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
