Long-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
GameStop Corp., long-term (investment) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-05-04), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-02-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-10-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-01-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-10-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-01-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-10-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-05-01), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-01-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-08-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-05-02), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-02-01), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-11-02), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-08-03), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-05-04).
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio exhibited fluctuations initially but demonstrated a clear upward trend over the years. Starting at 25.69 in early 2019, it saw minor declines before increasing steadily from the end of 2020 onwards. By mid-2024, the ratio reached a substantial peak of 59.68, more than doubling compared to the initial value. This suggests increasingly efficient use of fixed assets in generating revenue.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset
- This ratio showed relative stability with modest downward movement over the observed period. Beginning at 7.18 in May 2019, it decreased to roughly 6.0 - 6.3 during 2019 and early 2020, and then rose gradually from late 2020 through early 2023, peaking around 9.0 before declining slightly again. By mid-2024, it settled just below 8.0. The inclusion of operating leases impacted the ratio’s level and volatility, resulting in milder fluctuations compared to the net fixed asset turnover without leases.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio was relatively volatile, without a consistent directional trend. The ratio started at about 2.21 in May 2019, peaked above 2.6 soon after, and then declined to around 1.5 - 1.6 during 2020 and 2021. There was some recovery to levels near 2.0 in 2022, but subsequent quarters saw oscillation between approximately 1.8 and 2.1. Overall, the data indicates fluctuating efficiency in generating sales from total assets with no clear sustained improvement.
- Equity Turnover
- The equity turnover ratio experienced a pronounced peak and subsequent decline. Initially at 6.23 in early 2019, it increased sharply to a high of nearly 15.9 by mid-2020. This was followed by a rapid decrease to values between 3.0 and 6.0 during 2021 and afterward. From 2022 through mid-2024, the ratio stabilized somewhat in the mid-3.7 to mid-4.8 range, showing lower turnover relative to the earlier peak. This pattern suggests changes in equity financing and asset usage efficiency impacting turnover.

The analysis of the financial data over the presented periods reveals notable trends in net sales, property and equipment values, and net fixed asset turnover ratios. These trends provide insights into the company’s operational efficiency and asset management strategies.
- Net Sales
-
Net sales demonstrate a cyclical pattern with fluctuations across the quarters. Initial sales figures range approximately between 1.28 billion and 2.19 billion US dollars, with several peaks observed in early 2020 and early 2021. However, from mid-2021 onward, there is a general downward trend in sales, with some intermittent recoveries. The most recent figures in early 2024 show a decline, reaching the lowest level of 881.8 million US dollars among the reported quarters. This pattern may indicate sales volatility possibly influenced by market conditions or internal factors affecting revenue streams.
- Property and Equipment, Net of Accumulated Depreciation
-
There is a clear decreasing trend in the net book value of property and equipment from over 313 million US dollars in May 2019 to approximately 82.4 million US dollars in May 2024. The consistent reduction each quarter suggests ongoing depreciation and possibly a reduced investment in fixed assets or asset disposals. This contraction in the asset base aligns with a possible strategy to optimize or downsize physical capital expenditures.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
-
The net fixed asset turnover ratio shows a consistent and significant upward trend over the entire period, increasing from approximately 25.7 in May 2019 to nearly 59.7 in May 2024. This increasing ratio indicates that the company is generating substantially more sales per unit of net fixed assets over time. The rise suggests improved utilization efficiency of fixed assets, possibly through better operational management or shifts toward less asset-intensive revenue streams. This improved efficiency occurs simultaneous to the decreasing net fixed asset base, emphasizing a leaner asset structure producing relatively stronger sales performance.

- Net Sales
- Net sales exhibit a notable volatility over the reported quarters. Initially, sales demonstrate fluctuations, with peaks and troughs occurring intermittently; for example, higher sales are observed in February and January quarters, while significant decreases occur in May and July periods. The trend reaches several high points around early 2020 and again in early 2022 and 2023, where sales exceed 2,000,000 US dollars in thousands. However, there is a pronounced declining trend toward the most recent quarters, culminating in sales dropping to their lowest level in the May 2024 period at 881,800 US dollars in thousands.
- Property and Equipment, Net of Accumulated Depreciation
- The net book value of property and equipment shows a consistent downward trend from May 2019 to May 2024. The value decreases steadily from 1,120,300 US dollars in thousands to 624,400 US dollars in thousands over this period. This decline suggests ongoing asset disposals, depreciation exceeding new investments, or a combination of both, indicating a contraction or rationalization of fixed assets.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio reflects the efficiency of the company in utilizing its fixed assets to generate sales. Initially, the ratio declines from 7.18 in May 2019 to around 5.9 in early 2021, indicating a decrease in sales generated per unit of fixed assets. However, from early 2021 onward, the turnover ratio increases steadily, peaking at 9 in the October 2022 quarter. After reaching this peak, the ratio shows a slight decline but remains elevated compared to earlier periods, suggesting improved asset utilization despite the continuous asset base reduction and fluctuating sales.
- Overall Analysis
- The company appears to be managing a declining fixed asset base while experiencing highly variable net sales, influenced by seasonal or market-specific factors. The increasing net fixed asset turnover ratio in recent years likely reflects enhanced operational efficiency or asset-light strategies. The recent downturn in sales may merit further investigation to identify underlying causes, which could include market conditions, competitive pressures, or internal challenges. The steady decline in property and equipment values indicates either a strategic asset reduction or limited capital expenditure, which may impact long-term operational capacity if not balanced with effective sales and marketing efforts.

- Net Sales Trends
- Over the observed quarterly periods, net sales exhibit a notable pattern of fluctuations with several peaks and troughs. Initially, net sales started at a high point, reaching approximately 1.55 billion US dollars in early May 2019, then decreased to around 942 million by August 2020. A significant rebound is observed in early 2021, with values climbing again above 2.1 billion US dollars, indicating strong recovery phases. However, following this peak, a gradual decline is evident with net sales decreasing to 881.8 million by May 2024. This pattern suggests cyclical variability possibly influenced by market conditions or company-specific strategies.
- Total Assets Dynamics
- Total assets show a declining trend over the period evaluated. Starting from approximately 3.63 billion US dollars in May 2019, the asset base contracts notably, with periodic fluctuations. The lowest reported asset value occurs in May 2024, at around 2.59 billion US dollars. Despite minor recoveries in certain quarters, the overall trajectory is downward, suggesting potential asset divestitures, depreciation, or other adjustments impacting the asset totals.
- Total Asset Turnover Analysis
- The total asset turnover ratio reflects how efficiently the company utilizes its assets to generate sales. The ratio starts at 2.21 in May 2019, fluctuates mildly, then declines to its lowest points around 1.56 in late 2021. It later stabilizes somewhat with values around 1.9 by early 2024. These movements indicate that efficiency in asset utilization has decreased from the earlier periods but shows signs of recovery towards the end of the time frame. Generally, the pattern suggests variability in operational effectiveness or asset management over time.

- Net Sales Trend
- Net sales demonstrate a pronounced volatility across the observed periods. Initial quarters show fluctuations between approximately 1.28 billion and 2.19 billion US dollars. Notably, peaks occurred during February 2020 and January 2022, with sales surpassing 2.1 billion US dollars. Following January 2022, there is a visible downward trajectory, with net sales generally declining, culminating at the lowest recorded value around 881.8 million US dollars in May 2024, indicating a significant contraction in top-line revenue towards the end of the period.
- Stockholders’ Equity Movement
- Stockholders' equity exhibits a general declining trend from May 2019, starting at approximately 1.29 billion US dollars and dropping sharply to a low of around 332 million by October 2020. Subsequent quarters show a gradual recovery peaking near 1.85 billion US dollars by July 2021, followed by a slow but persistent decrease stabilizing between 1.26 billion and 1.33 billion from mid-2022 to mid-2024. This pattern suggests significant equity fluctuations possibly driven by operational results or financial restructuring, with a tendency towards stabilization in recent periods.
- Equity Turnover Ratio Analysis
- The equity turnover ratio reflects substantial variability, starting at 6.23 and rising to a maximum of approximately 15.88 in August 2020, indicating efficient use of equity in generating sales during that period. However, following this peak, the ratio consistently declines, reaching lower values around 3.76 by May 2024. This decreasing trend implies a reduced efficiency in utilizing equity to generate net sales over the latter periods, aligning with the observed decrease in net sales and investor equity stabilization.
- Overall Financial Insights
- The data reveals a company experiencing significant fluctuations in both revenues and equity, with a peak period around early 2020 and mid-2021 followed by a gradual decline in sales and efficiency. The progressive decrease in equity turnover alongside falling net sales suggests challenges in maintaining sales volume relative to equity invested. Stabilization of stockholders’ equity in recent quarters may indicate conservative financial management or limited growth opportunities. Continued monitoring is advised to understand whether these trends represent cyclical behavior or underlying structural shifts in operational performance.
