Video game retailer GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME) reported third-quarter financial results after the market close Tuesday.

Here are the key highlights.

What Happened: GameStop reported third-quarter net sales of $860.3 million, down from last year's third-quarter total of $1.08 billion. The total missed a Street consensus estimate of $887.7 million, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Sales broken down by segment were as follows, with the total from last year's third quarter in parentheses:  

Hardware and accessories; $417.4 million ($579.4 million)

Software: $271.8 million ($321.3 million)

Collectibles: $171.1 million ($177.6 million)

All three segments saw year-over-year sales declines.

The company reported net income of $17.4 million in the third quarter versus a net loss of $3.1 million in last year's third quarter.

GameStop reported adjusted earnings per share of 6 cents.

The company ended the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $4.62 billion. In the third quarter, the company completed a previously disclosed at-the-market equity offering program that had aggregate gross proceeds of around $400 million.

"The Company does not anticipate any further at-the-market offerings involving the offer and sale of its common stock during the current fiscal year," the company said.

What's Next: Following a trend from recent quarters, GameStop said it will not be holding a third-quarter conference call.
