GAMESTOP INTERNATIONAL
2012 was a standout year for our international operations. Following strategic restructuring and consolidation in 2011, we focused on
managing the basics of our business and executing GameStop’s strategic plan in 2012.
As a result, international comparable store sales outperformed the U.S., leading to market share gains in most markets. Additionally,
gross margin improvements, focus on cost controls and continued rollout of new business initiatives led to all three international segments
outperforming their operating earnings expectations.
GameStop International also increased pre-owned gross margin rates to levels commensurate with domestic margins thanks to improved inventory
management, expansion of refurbishment capabilities and continued implementation of best practices.
