The Company will not be holding a conference call today. Additional information can be found in the Company's Form 10-K.
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 net income (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 net income (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA exclude the effect of discreetly managed items such as certain transformation costs, asset impairments, severance, as well as divestiture costs, which we believe is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures otherwise included in net cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities, and therefore measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, which we believe is an important financial measure for use by investors in evaluating the Company's financial performance. 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.

The following tables reconcile the Company's SG&A expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and net income (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 net income (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. The diluted weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate adjusted net income per share may differ from GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding. Under GAAP, basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are the same in periods where there is a net loss. The tax adjustments below for the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 31, 2026, respectively, include provisions for the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments. The reconciliations below are from continuing operations only.

The following table reconciles the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) 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.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) and and adjusted 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 provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before income taxes, plus net interest income, depreciation and amortization, excluding stock-based compensation, certain transformation costs, business divestitures, asset impairments, loss (gain) on digital assets and related receivables, severance and other non-cash charges. Net income 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 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 expenses, adjusted operating (loss) income, 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 expenses, adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted net income, 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.
