The company exited operations in Ireland, Switzerland, and Austria during fiscal 2023 as part of its cost containment efforts. Looking ahead, GameStop's Board has revised its Investment Policy and delegated authority to an Investment Committee to manage the company's investment portfolio. The company's store count decreased from 4,413 to 4,169 stores, with closures primarily in Europe. GameStop's liquidity remains strong with $921.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $277.6 million in marketable securities, despite a decrease from the previous year's total of $1,390.6 million. The company has a remaining $101.3 million under its share repurchase authorization but did not repurchase any shares during fiscal 2023.
