Mr. Daniel Moore
Re: Continuing Employment

You will continue to be eligible to earn restricted stock units in accordance with, and subject to, the vesting and other terms of any award agreements that have been issued to you on or prior to the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this letter shall change, eliminate or modify any terms of those award agreements, certain terms of which are summarized below.

On October 1, 2021, you were granted 15,960 restricted stock units of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”). The October 2021 equity award vests as follows: 5% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 15% of the second anniversary of the grant date, and 20% on each of the dates that are 30, 36, 42 and 48 months following the grant date, subject to your continuous service through the applicable vesting date.

The October 2022 equity award vests as follows: 1/6th on each of the dates that are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months following the grant date, subject to your continuous service through the applicable vesting date. 

On June 1, 2023, you were granted 3,312 restricted stock units of the Company’s Common Stock. The June 2023 equity award vested as follows: 50% on July 1, 2023 and 50% on January 1, 2024.

Nothing in this letter guarantees your employment for any period or otherwise limits our ability to terminate your employment at any time, for any reason, even if your opportunity to receive or vest in any equity would be forfeited as a result of such termination. We will periodically review your performance and compensation levels and may make adjustments, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Company.

Any modification of any of the terms of this letter must be made in writing and signed by an authorized, executive officer of the Company to be valid and enforceable.

This letter supersedes any prior compensation terms or offer letter entered into between you and the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this letter and the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements referenced above represents our entire agreement regarding your employment and compensation and supersedes all prior discussions and agreements regarding these topics; provided, however, this agreement is in addition to and complements (and does not replace or supersede): i) your agreement to the GameStop C.A.R.E.S Rules of Dispute Resolution; and ii) all obligations you have to the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to confidentiality and return of property, non-disparagement, non-competition, and non-solicitation (whether such obligation arises by contract, common law, statute, or otherwise).

GameStop Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2023 Results

GRAPEVINE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2024-- GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) (“GameStop” or the “Company”) today released financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 3, 2024. The Company’s consolidated financial statements, including GAAP and non-GAAP results, are below. The Company’s Form 10-K and supplemental information can be found at https://investor.gamestop.com.

FOURTH QUARTER OVERVIEW

Net sales were $1.794 billion for the fourth quarter, compared to $2.226 billion in the prior year's fourth quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $359.2 million, or 20.0% of net sales, for the fourth quarter, compared to $453.4 million, or 20.4% of net sales, in the prior year's fourth quarter.

Net income was $63.1 million for the fourth quarter, compared to net income of $48.2 million for the prior year’s fourth quarter.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.199 billion at the close of the quarter.

Long-term debt remains limited to a low-interest, unsecured term loan associated with the French government's response to COVID-19.


FULL YEAR OVERVIEW

Net sales were $5.273 billion for fiscal year 2023, compared to $5.927 billion for fiscal year 2022.

SG&A expenses were $1.324 billion, or 25.1% of net sales, for fiscal year 2023, compared to $1.681 billion, or 28.4% of net sales, for fiscal year 2022.

Net income was $6.7 million for fiscal year 2023, compared to a net loss of $313.1 million for fiscal year 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA of $64.7 million for fiscal year 2023, compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($192.7) million for fiscal year 2022.


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

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 income (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 income (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 (used in) provided by 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 tables reconcile the Company's SG&A expenses, operating earnings (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as presented in its consolidated statements of operations and prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to its adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. The diluted weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate adjusted earnings per share may differ from GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP results

The following table reconciles the Company's cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities as presented in its 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 expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings (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 provides 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 net interest income, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, transformation costs, business divestitures, fixed asset impairments, severance and certain 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 expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings (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 expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings (loss) per share is 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 expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings (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.
