On December 10, 2024, GameStop Corp. issued a press release announcing its financial results for its third quarter ended November 2, 2024. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained in this Current Report, including the exhibit, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of GameStop Corp., whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as otherwise expressly set forth therein.
Item 4.01    Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On December 6, 2024, after completing a competitive proposal process, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of GameStop Corp. (the “Company”) selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, subject to completion of KPMG’s standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter. This process also resulted in the effective dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Deloitte was informed of this decision on December 6, 2024. Deloitte’s dismissal will take effect following the completion of its audit and the issuance of its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the Company’s fiscal year ending February 1, 2025, which will be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.

Deloitte’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended January 28, 2023 and February 3, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended January 28, 2023 and February 3, 2024, and the subsequent interim periods through November 2, 2024, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and Deloitte on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference thereto in their reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has requested that Deloitte furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Deloitte’s letter, dated December 10, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

During the fiscal years ended January 28, 2023 and February 3, 2024 and the subsequent interim periods through November 2, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with KPMG regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 “Regulation FD Disclosure,” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

GameStop Discloses Third Quarter 2024 Results
GRAPEVINE, Texas, December 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) (“GameStop” or the “Company”) today released financial results for the third quarter ended November 2, 2024. The Company’s condensed and consolidated financial statements, including GAAP and non-GAAP results, are below. The Company’s Form 10-Q and supplemental information can be found at https://investor.gamestop.com.
THIRD QUARTER OVERVIEW
•Net sales were $0.860 billion for the period, compared to $1.078 billion in the prior year's third quarter.
•Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $282.0 million for the period, compared to $296.5 million in the prior year's third quarter.
•Net income was $17.4 million for the period, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million for the prior year’s third quarter.
•Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $4.616 billion at the close of the quarter.
•During the quarter, the Company completed its previously disclosed "at-the-market" equity offering program pursuant to the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on September 6, 2024 by selling 20.0 million shares of its common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $400.0 million (before commissions and offering expenses). The Company does not anticipate any further at-the-market offerings involving the offer and sale of its common stock during the current fiscal year.


The Company will not be holding a conference call today. Additional information can be found in the Company’s Form 10-Q.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND OTHER METRICS
As a supplement to the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), GameStop may use certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA exclude the effect of items such as certain transformation costs, asset impairments, severance, as well as divestiture costs. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures otherwise included in net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities. The Company’s definition and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company’s actual and future financial condition and performance.

Non-GAAP results
The following table reconciles the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities as presented in its unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and prepared in accordance with GAAP to its free cash flow. Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes, however, that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use by investors in evaluating the company’s financial performance.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Metrics
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are supplemental financial measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, plus interest income, net and depreciation and amortization, excluding stock-based compensation, certain transformation costs, business divestitures, asset impairments, severance and other non-cash charges. Net income (loss) is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Furthermore, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Some of these limitations include:
•certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•our computations of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
We compensate for the limitations of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP financial measure, understanding the differences between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and incorporating these data points into our decision-making process. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share may be defined and determined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
