NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
1. General Information
The Company
GameStop Corp. ("GameStop," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation established in 1996, is a leading specialty retailer offering games and entertainment products through its thousands of stores and ecommerce platforms.
We operate our business in four geographic segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements refers to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are unaudited. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2024 ("fiscal 2023") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 26, 2024, as amended by our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024 (as amended, the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Due to the seasonal nature of our business, our results of operations for the six months ended August 3, 2024 are not indicative of our future results for the 52 weeks ending February 1, 2025 ("fiscal 2024"). Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Fiscal 2024 consists of 52 weeks ending on February 1, 2025. Fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks ended on February 3, 2024. All three month periods presented herein contain 13 weeks and all six month periods presented herein contain 26 weeks. All references to years, quarters and months relate to fiscal periods rather than calendar periods. Our business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with the major portion of the net sales realized during the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.
At-The-Market Equity Offering Program
On May 17, 2024, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (the “Sales Agent”) providing for the sale by the Company of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Shares”), from time to time through the Sales Agent in connection with an "at-the-market" equity offering program ("ATM Offering"). Pursuant to the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on May 17, 2024 (the "May Prospectus Supplement"), we sold an aggregate of 45.0 million Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $933.4 million. Pursuant to the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on June 7, 2024 (the “June Prospectus Supplement”), we sold an additional aggregate of 75.0 million Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $2,137 million.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the ATM Offerings for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and investments in a manner consistent with our investment policy.
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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Included below are certain updates related to policies included in Part II, Item 8 "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value and consist primarily of cash, money market funds, cash deposits with commercial banks, U.S. government bonds and notes, and highly rated direct short-term instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. Restricted cash consists primarily of bank deposits that collateralize our obligations to vendors and landlords.
The following table presents a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
| August 3, 2024 | July 29, 2023 | February 3, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
Restricted cash(1) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Long-term restricted cash(2) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
(1) Recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2) Recognized in other noncurrent assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investments
We have traditionally invested our excess cash in investment grade short-term fixed income securities, which consist of U.S. government and agency securities. Such investments with an original maturity in excess of 90 days and less than one year are classified as marketable securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company classifies these marketable securities as available-for-sale debt securities and records them at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains and losses upon sale or extinguishment are reported in other expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each reporting period, we evaluate whether declines in fair value below carrying value are due to expected credit losses, as well as our ability and intent to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs.
On December 5, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new investment policy (the “Investment Policy”). Subsequently, on March 21, 2024, the Board of Directors unanimously authorized revisions to the Investment Policy to codify the role of certain members of the Board of Directors in overseeing the Company’s investments. In accordance with the revised Investment Policy, the Board of Directors has delegated authority to manage the Company’s portfolio of securities investments to an Investment Committee consisting of the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Cohen, and two independent members of the Board of Directors, together with such personnel and advisors as the Investment Committee may choose.
Assets Held-for-Sale
During the first half of fiscal 2023, we committed to a plan to sell additional properties in our Europe segment, consisting of buildings, land, and other property and equipment. The remaining total net carrying value of these properties was $2.1 million as of August 3, 2024. There were no impairment charges recognized on these asset groups as the estimated fair value exceeded their respective carrying values. The asset groups are classified as assets held for sale in other noncurrent assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 3, 2024, and were sold subsequent to August 3, 2024.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we announced plans to close our York, Pennsylvania fulfillment facility, to consolidate U.S. fulfillment activities to our Grapevine, Texas facility. This was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

(2) Includes sales of new and pre-owned gaming software, digital software, and PC entertainment software.
Performance Obligations
We have arrangements with customers where our performance obligations are satisfied over time, which primarily relate to extended warranties and our GameStop Pro® rewards program, formerly known as PowerUp Rewards.
We expect to recognize revenue in future periods for remaining performance obligations we have associated with unredeemed gift cards, trade-in credits, reservation deposits and our GameStop Pro® rewards program (collectively, "unredeemed customer liabilities"), extended warranties, and subscriptions to our GameStop Pro® rewards program.
Performance obligations associated with unredeemed customer liabilities are primarily satisfied at the time customers redeem gift cards, trade-in credits, customer deposits or loyalty program points for products that we offer. Unredeemed customer liabilities are generally redeemed within one year of issuance.
We offer extended warranties on certain new and pre-owned products with terms generally ranging from 12 to 24 months, depending on the product. Revenues for extended warranties sold are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract.
Revenue for subscription to our GameStop Pro® rewards program are recognized on a straight-line basis over a 12-month subscription term.
The following table presents our performance obligations recognized in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Significant Judgments and Estimates
We accrue loyalty points related to our GameStop Pro® rewards program at the estimated retail price per point, net of estimated breakage, which can be redeemed by loyalty program members for products we offer. The estimated retail price per point is based on the actual historical retail prices of products purchased through the redemption of loyalty points. We estimate breakage of loyalty points and unredeemed gift cards based on historical redemption rates.
Contract Balances
Our contract liabilities primarily consist of unredeemed customer liabilities and deferred revenues associated with gift cards, extended warranties and subscriptions to our GameStop Pro® rewards program.

(3) Primarily includes foreign currency translation adjustments.
4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Applicable accounting standards require disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the following three levels:
•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include our cash equivalents, marketable securities, foreign currency contracts, company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value, and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities.
We measure the fair value of cash equivalents and certain marketable securities based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Other marketable securities were valued either based on recent trades of securities in inactive markets or based on quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Our investments in U.S. government treasury notes and bills are classified as available-for-sale debt securities, are reported at fair value on a recurring basis, and utilize Level 1 inputs for measurement. Our investments in time deposits are reported at fair value and utilize Level 1 inputs for measurement.
We measure the fair value of our foreign currency contracts, life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, contractual prices for the underlying instruments, and other relevant economic measures, all of which are observable in active markets. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.

Assets that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and other intangible assets, including digital assets, which are remeasured when the estimated fair value is below its carrying value. When we determine that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its fair value. Fair value of digital assets held is based on Level 1 inputs, as described above, and impairment losses for digital assets cannot be recovered for any subsequent increase in fair value until the sale or disposal of the asset.
As of August 3, 2024, our government-guaranteed low interest French term loans due through October 2026 ("French Term Loans") had a carrying value of $23.4 million and a fair value of $26.9 million. The fair values of our French Term Loans were estimated based on a model that discounted future principal and interest payments at interest rates available to us at the end of the period for similar debt of the same maturity, which is a Level 2 input as defined by the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying value of our cash, restricted cash, net receivables, accounts payable and current portion of debt approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
5. Debt
As of August 3, 2024, July 29, 2023 and February 3, 2024, there was $23.4 million, $34.6 million and $28.5 million, of outstanding debt, respectively. Total outstanding debt includes $11.0 million, $11.0 million and $10.8 million of short-term debt as of August 3, 2024, July 29, 2023 and February 3, 2024, respectively, which represents the current portion of the French Term Loans.
During fiscal 2020, our French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, entered into six separate unsecured term loans for a total of €40.0 million. In the second quarter of 2021, at the request of Micromania SAS, these term loans were extended for five years , with an amortization plan for the principal starting in October 2022. In connection with the extension, the interest rate increased from zero to 0.7 % for three of the term loans totaling €20.0 million, and 1 % for the remaining three term loans totaling €20.0 million. The French government has guaranteed 90 % of the term loans pursuant to a state guaranteed loan program instituted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
Letter of Credit Facilities
We maintain uncommitted letter of credit facilities with certain banks that provide for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees, at times supported by cash collateral, and also had the ability to issue letters of credit from time to time pursuant to our $250 million revolving credit facility, which matures in November 2026 (the "2026 Revolver").
As of August 3, 2024, we had approximately $5.9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the 2026 Revolver. We also had $9.7 million of outstanding letters of credit and other bank guarantees issued outside of the 2026 Revolver, of which $8.3 million are supported by cash collateral and included in restricted cash.
During the six months ended August 3, 2024, there were no material changes to our commitments as disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On August 27, 2024, we voluntarily terminated the 2026 Revolver, including all commitments and obligations thereunder. In connection with the termination we cancelled all letters of credit issued thereunder and replaced them with letters of credit issued under uncommitted letter of credit facilities supported by cash collateral.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we are, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions, stockholder actions, and consumer class actions, violent acts, and other conflicts. We may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if we believe settlement is in the best interest of our stockholders. We do not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

7. Earnings Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. A net loss from continuing operations causes all potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive.
The following table presents a reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per common share:

OVERVIEW
GameStop Corp. (“GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation established in 1996, is a leading specialty retailer offering games and entertainment products through its thousands of stores and ecommerce platforms.
We operate our business in four geographic segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Fiscal 2024 consists of 52 weeks ending February 1, 2025 ("fiscal 2024"). Fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks ended on February 3, 2024. All six month periods presented herein contain 26 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 the major portion of the net sales realized during the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday selling season.
BUSINESS PRIORITIES
GameStop is following a strategic plan to fully leverage its unique position and brand recognition in gaming through a new phase of transformation. Our strategic plan is designed to optimize our core business and achieve profitability.
GameStop is actively focused on the below objectives:
•Establish Omnichannel Retail Excellence. We aim to be the leading destination for games and entertainment products through our stores and ecommerce platforms. To accomplish this, we are taking steps to ensure we are a fast and convenient solution for our customers. This includes increased product availability across all channels, faster fulfillment through ship from store offerings, and a further improved customer service experience.
•Achieve Profitability. During fiscal 2023, we continued to optimize our cost structure to align with our current and anticipated future needs. We will continue to focus on cost containment, including closing underperforming stores, as we look to operate with increased efficiency.
•Leverage Brand Equity to Support Growth. GameStop has many strengths and assets, including strong household brand recognition and a significant store network.
We believe these efforts are important aspects of our continued business to enable long-term value creation for our shareholders.
As part of our efforts to achieve sustained profitability, we continue to evaluate our international assets and operations, to determine their strategic and financial fit and to eliminate redundancies and underperforming assets. During fiscal 2023, we exited our operations in Ireland, Switzerland, and Austria.
We have also initiated a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review which involves identifying stores for closure based on many factors, including an evaluation of current market conditions and individual store performance. While this review is ongoing and a specific set of stores has not been identified for closure, we anticipate that it may result in the closure of a larger number of stores than we have closed in the past few years.
While we expect our cost containment efforts to yield reductions in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the long term, we have incurred and may continue to incur non-recurring costs related to these efforts in the short term.

Investments
On December 5, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new investment policy (the “Investment Policy”). Subsequently, on March 21, 2024, the Board of Directors unanimously authorized revisions to the Investment Policy to codify the role of certain members of the Board of Directors in overseeing the Company’s investments. In accordance with the revised Investment Policy, the Board of Directors has delegated authority to manage the Company’s portfolio of securities investments to an Investment Committee consisting of the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Cohen, and two independent members of the Board of Directors, together with such personnel and advisors as the Investment Committee may choose. The Company’s investments must conform to guidelines set forth in the revised Investment Policy or be approved by either the Investment Committee, by unanimous vote, or the full Board of Directors, by majority vote. Additionally, the Investment Committee may recommend to the Board of Directors further modifications to the Investment Policy from time to time.
The Investment Committee will direct the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, Mr. Cohen or other members of the Investment Committee, each in their personal capacity or through affiliated investment vehicles, may at times invest in the same securities in which the Company invests. The Board anticipates that such investments will align the interests of the Company with the interests of related parties because it places the personal resources of such directors at risk in substantially the same manner as resources of the Company in connection with investment decisions made by the Investment Committee on behalf of the Company.

Net sales decreased $365.5 million, or 31.4%, for the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the prior year.
During the three months ended August 3, 2024, net sales in our Canada, Europe, Australia, and United States segments decreased by 42.9%, 40.4%, 29.3%, and 28.2%, respectively, compared to the prior year. The decrease in consolidated net sales for the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to a $189.3 million, or 47.7%, decline in the sale of software, a $145.8 million, or 24.4%, decline in the sale of hardware and accessories, and a $30.4 million, or 17.9%, decline in the sale of collectibles.
Net sales decreased $720.8 million, or 30.0%, for the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the prior year.
During the six months ended August 3, 2024, net sales in our Europe, Canada, Australia, and United States segments decreased by 38.8%, 37.7%, 30.1%, and 27.0%, respectively, compared to the prior year. The decrease in consolidated net sales for the six months ended August 3, 2024 was primarily attributable to a $288.0 million, or 39.2%, decline in the sale of software, a $366.3 million, or 27.7%, decline in the sale of hardware and accessories, and a $66.5 million, or 19.4%, decline in the sale of collectibles.
Gross Profit
During the three months ended August 3, 2024, gross profit decreased $57.1 million, or 18.7%, compared to the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.2%, compared to 26.3% in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the decrease in net sales, as further outlined in the net sales commentary.
During the six months ended August 3, 2024, gross profit decreased $99.9 million, or 16.8%, compared to the prior year. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the decrease in net sales, as further outlined in the net sales commentary. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.4%, compared to 24.7% in the prior year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to improvements in inventory management.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended August 3, 2024, SG&A expenses decreased $51.7 million, or 16.0%, compared to the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 33.9%, compared to 27.7% in the prior year.
The decline in SG&A expenses for the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to a reduction in labor-related, consulting service, and marketing costs of $41.7 million, driven by our continued focus on cost reduction efforts, and a $6.4 million benefit from legal settlements in the current year period, partially offset by $14.3 million of deferred income recognized in the prior year in connection with our NFT marketplace. Additionally, store-related costs decreased $8.4 million compared to the prior year in connection with prior year store closures, primarily in our European segment.
During the six months ended August 3, 2024, SG&A expenses decreased $102.3 million, or 15.3%, compared to the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 33.7%, compared to 27.8% in the prior year.
The decline in SG&A expenses for the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to a $102.7 million reduction in labor-related, consulting service, and marketing costs, driven by our continued focus on cost reduction efforts, and a $6.4 million benefit from legal settlements in the current year period, partially offset by $28.6 million of deferred income recognized in the prior year in connection with our NFT marketplace, and $10 million of accelerated depreciation expense recognized in the current year in connection with the closure of our York, Pennsylvania fulfillment facility. Additionally, store-related costs decreased $14.4 million in the current year in connection with prior year store closures, primarily in our European segment.

Interest Income, net
During the three and six months ended August 3, 2024, we recognized net interest income of $39.5 million and $54.4 million, respectively, compared to net interest income of $11.6 million and $21.3 million for the three and six months ended July 29, 2023.
The impact is primarily attributable to interest income increasing as a result of higher returns on invested cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, as well as return on cash received from the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock from the ATM Offering.
Income Tax
We recognized income tax expense of $2.7 million for the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the three months ended July 29, 2023. Our effective income tax rate was 15.4% for the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to 6.7% for the three months ended July 29, 2023.
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended August 3, 2024, as well as the three months ended July 29, 2023, are primarily due to the recognition of tax benefits on certain current period losses, partially offset by forecasted income taxes due in certain jurisdictions in which we operate.
We recognized income tax benefit of $0.7 million for the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.3 million for the six months ended July 29, 2023. Our effective income tax rate was 3.8% for the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to 0.6% for the six months ended July 29, 2023.
Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended August 3, 2024, as well as the six months ended July 29, 2023, are primarily due to the recognition of tax benefits on certain current period losses, partially offset by forecasted income taxes due in certain jurisdictions in which we operate.

Sources of Liquidity; Uses of Capital
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash on hand, and borrowings from the capital markets, which include our revolving credit facilities. As of August 3, 2024, we had total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand of $4,193.1 million, marketable securities of $11.1 million, and an additional $244.1 million of effective available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities.
Our cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value and consist primarily of cash, money market funds, cash deposits with commercial banks, U.S. government bonds and notes, and highly rated direct short-term instruments that mature in 90 days or less.
Our marketable securities are carried at fair value and include investments in certain highly-rated short-term government notes, government bills, and time deposits. Such investments with an original maturity in excess of 90 days and less than one year are classified as marketable securities.
As of August 3, 2024, the investment portfolios' aggregate balance was $11.1 million, all of which are recognized in marketable securities . See Item 1, Part I, "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements", Note 4, "Fair Value Measurements," for additional information.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate and consider certain strategic operating alternatives, including divestitures, restructuring or dissolution of unprofitable business segments, uses for our excess cash, as well as equity and debt financing alternatives that we believe may enhance stockholder value. The nature, amount and timing of any strategic operational change, or financing transactions that we might pursue will depend on a variety of factors, including, as of the applicable time, our available cash and liquidity and operating performance; our commitments and obligations; our capital requirements; limitations imposed under our credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.

On December 5, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new Investment Policy. Subsequently, on March 21, 2024, the
Board of Directors amended the new Investment Policy. See "Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Investments” for more information. Gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. However, the amount of gain or loss on marketable securities for any given period may have no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period may have no analytical value.
Some of our vendors have requested and may continue to request credit support collateral for our inventory purchase obligations and the levels of such collateral will depend on a variety of factors including our inventory purchase levels, available payment terms for inventories, availability of borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, favorable credit terms and costs of providing collateral.
In fiscal 2021, the six separate unsecured term loans held by our French subsidiary, Micromania SAS, for a total of €40.0 million, were extended for five years. As of August 3, 2024, $23.4 million remains outstanding.
In November 2021, we entered into a credit agreement for a secured asset-based credit facility comprised of a $500 million revolving line of credit maturing in November 2026 ("2026 Revolver"). The 2026 Revolver included a $50 million swing loan revolving sub-facility, a $50 million Canadian revolving sub-facility, and a $250 million letter of credit sublimit.
On March 22, 2024, we delivered an irrevocable notice pursuant to the 2026 Revolver that reduced the $500 million revolving line of credit to $250 million. The 2026 Revolver continued to include a $50 million swing loan sub-facility, a $50 million Canadian sub-facility and a $250 million letter of credit sublimit.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2024, based on our borrowing base and amounts reserved for outstanding letters of credit, total effective availability under the 2026 Revolver was $244.1 million, with no outstanding borrowings. As of August 3, 2024, outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the 2026 Revolver are $5.9 million.
On August 27, 2024, we voluntarily terminated the 2026 Revolver, including all commitments and obligations and commitments thereunder. The termination is effective as of August 27, 2024. After giving effect to the termination, our principal sources of liquidity will be cash from operations and cash on hand.
Separate from the 2026 Revolver, we maintain uncommitted facilities with certain lenders that provide for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees, at times supported by cash collateral. As of August 3, 2024, we had letters of credit and other bank guarantees outstanding in the amount of $9.7 million outside of the 2026 Revolver.
On May 17, 2024, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (the “Sales Agent”) providing for the sale by the Company of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Shares”), from time to time, through the Sales Agent in connection with an “at-the-market offering” program (the “ATM Offering”). Pursuant to the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on May 17, 2024 (the “May Prospectus Supplement”), we sold an aggregate of 45.0 million Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $933.4 million.
Pursuant to the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on June 7, 2024, (the “June Prospectus Supplement”), we sold an aggregate of 75.0 million additional Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $2,137 million.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the ATM Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and investments in a manner consistent with the Investment Policy.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our 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 exclude certain disclosures required under GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. Preparation of these statements requires us to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies and the means by which we develop estimates thereon, see “Part II—Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This standard requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items by reportable segment. This ASU becomes effective for annual periods beginning in 2024 and interim periods in 2025. The Company is assessing the impact of this ASU and upon adoption expects that any impact would be limited to additional segment expense disclosures in the footnotes to its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This standard enhances disclosures related to income taxes, including the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. This ASU becomes effective January 1, 2025.

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that required disclosures in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and are effective in ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
