THE GAP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated balance sheets as of May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996, and the interim consolidated statements of earnings and the interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996, and for all periods presented, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted from these interim financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 1997. The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 1998. 2. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION Year-to-date 1997 and 1996 gross interest payments were $1.5 million and $0.8 million respectively; income tax payments were $77.4 million and $64.1 million respectively. 3. TWO-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT On February 27, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one split of its common stock effective April 10, 1996, in the form of a stock dividend for stockholders of record on March 18, 1996. Per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give effect to the stock split. Deloitte & 1111 Broadway, Suite 2100 Telephone (510)287-2700 Touche LLP Oakland, California 94607-4036 Facsimile (510)835-4888 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Gap, Inc.: We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Gap, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996 and the related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Gap, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 1, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it was derived. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP May 14, 1997 THE GAP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Sales Thirteen weeks ended May 3, May 4, 1997 1996 Net sales ($000) $1,231,186 $1,113,15 4 Total net sales growth 11 31 percentage Comparable store sales (3) 9 growth percentage Net sales per average 95 98 square foot Square footage of gross 13,163 11,436 store space (000) Fifty-two Fifty- weeks three ended weeks May 3, ended 1997 May 4, 1996 Number of New stores 230 225 Expanded stores 49 50 Closed stores 33 44 The increase in first quarter of 1997 net sales over the same period last year was attributable to the opening of new stores (net of stores closed) and the expansion of existing stores. The decrease in net sales per average square foot compared with the same period last year was primarily attributable to a decrease in comparable store sales. The growing impact of the Old Navy division also contributed to the decrease in net sales per square foot, as the division's lower-priced merchandise and significantly larger stores result in lower net sales per average square foot when compared to other divisions. Cost of Goods Sold and Occupancy Expenses Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 64.1 percent for the first quarter of 1997 from 62.8 percent for the same period in 1996. The resulting 1.3 percentage point decrease in gross margin net of occupancy expenses was attributable to a 1.1 percentage point decrease in merchandise margin as a percentage of net sales and a .2 percentage point increase in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in merchandise margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to a greater percentage of merchandise sold at markdown when compared to the same period last year. Margin achieved on marked-down goods was also lower than that of last year. The increase in occupancy expense as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to a lack of sales leverage resulting from negative comparable store sales. The Company reviews its inventory levels in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments (items no longer in stock in a sufficient range of sizes) and uses markdowns to clear merchandise. Such markdowns may have an adverse impact on earnings depending upon the extent of the markdowns and amount of inventory affected. Operating Expenses Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were basically flat at 25.3 percent for the first quarter of 1997 and the same period in 1996. A planned increase in advertising/marketing costs to support the Company's brands offset a decrease in incentive bonus expense as a percentage of net sales. The Company accrued for larger bonuses in the first quarter of 1996 due to stronger earnings performance measured against the annual target. Net Interest Income/Expense Net interest income was approximately $4.7 million for the first quarter of 1997 compared to $3.6 million for the same period last year. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 37.5 and 39.5 percent for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was a result of the impact from tax planning initiatives. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The following sets forth certain measures of the Company's liquidity: Thirteen weeks ended May 3, May 4, 1997 1996 Cash provided by (used for) operating ($57,928) $ 65,917 activities ($000) Working capital ($000) $472,936 $ 782,205 Current ratio 1.71:1 2.61:1 For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997, the decrease in cash flows from operating activities was attributable to an increased investment in merchandise inventory, increased activity under the Company's share repurchase program, and the timing of income tax payments. The Company funds inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through a combination of cash flows provided by operations and normal trade credit arrangements. The Company's business follows a seasonal pattern, peaking over a total of about ten to twelve weeks during the late summer and holiday periods. The Company has an agreement which provides for a $250 million revolving credit facility through June 30, 2001. In addition, the credit agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to $450 million at any one time. The Company has additional uncommitted credit of $260 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $536 million at May 3, 1997. For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997, capital expenditures, net of construction allowances and dispositions, totaled approximately $88 million. These expenditures included the addition of 69 new stores, the expansion of 17 stores and the remodeling of certain stores resulting in a net increase in store space of approximately 518,000 square feet or 4 percent since February 1, 1997. For fiscal 1997, the Company expects capital expenditures to total approximately $450 million, net of construction allowances, representing the addition of at least 275 new stores, the expansion of approximately 65 to 75 stores, and the remodeling of certain stores. Planned expenditures also include amounts for administrative office facilities, distribution centers, and equipment. The Company expects to fund such capital expenditures with cash flow from operations. Square footage growth is expected to be approximately 18 percent before store closings. New stores are generally expected to be leased. Included in the capital expenditures projection for fiscal 1997 is the cost to complete an office building at the Company's San Bruno campus. The Company also continues to explore alternatives for office facilities growth in San Francisco, California. On February 27, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one split of its common stock effective April 10, 1996, in the form of a stock dividend for stockholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 1996. Per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give effect to the stock split. In October 1996, the Board of Directors approved a program under which the Company may repurchase up to 30 million shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market over a three-year period. During the first quarter, the Company acquired 3.8 million shares for approximately $121 million. To date under this program, 8.5 million shares have been repurchased for approximately $261 million.
