GameStop Corp GME shares are trading lower Thursday on the heels of the company's third-quarter financial results. Here's a rundown of the report.

The video game retailer reported a quarterly loss of 1 cent per share versus a loss of 31 cents per share in the prior year's quarter. 

The company ended the quarter with $1.21 billion in cash, equivalents and marketable securities. Long-term debt remains limited to one low-interest loan related to the French government's Covid-19 response.
