The "Strategic Plan" Results Are Nothing for this Board to Tout
STRATEGIC PLAN BEGINNING TO DELIVER TANGIBLE RESULTS
The Board and management team's execution of its strategic plan are beginning to deliver tangible results in a short period.
The Company expects the continued execution of the GameStop Reboot will continue to deliver long-term value to
stockholders. Recent operational highlights include:
In FY2019, generated $62.3 million in adjusted operating income while exiting the year with approximately $500 million in
cash, despite a challenging sales environment underpinned by the late stage gaming console cycle.
Significantly improved capital structure, deploying proceeds from sale of non-core business units to reduce debt by $401
million and repurchase 38.1 million shares for $199 million to leverage the Company's market position as the omni-channel
leader in gaming.
Optimized operations by improving inventory, with a 31% reduction at year-end; implementing initiatives to accelerate
GameStop's transformation, including enhancing digital, online and experiential retail; improving our loyalty program; and
continuing to de-densify the store base.
✓ Began fiscal 2020 with increased financial flexibility and a continued focus on key priorities to optimize, stabilize and
transform GameStop to achieve sustainable and profitable long-term growth.
✓ GameStop is well-positioned to navigate the market challenges arising from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic due to
its recently strengthened balance sheet and the Company's ability to serve its customers as they adjust to increased time at
home for work, learning and play.

GameStop began FY 2019 with over $1.6 billion in cash and
ended with $500 million. Net cash fell from $800 million to $80
million
The Board did not proactively retire debt at advantageous
prices. $350 million of debt was due on October 1, 2019. The
rest of the debt repurchased in 2019 was due in 2021 and
purchased above par value. This debt traded below $0.70 on the
dollar recently
The decrease in inventory is in-line with the decline in revenue.
From Q4 2018 to Q4 2019, revenue declined 28% while inventory
declined 31%
