Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:

•the potential impact of global supply chain disruptions and the COVID-19 pandemic on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;

•the impact of recent accounting pronouncements;

•the impact of losses due to indemnification obligations;

•the outcome of proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims, including the impact of such actions on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;

•our dividend policy, including the potential timing and amounts of future dividends; and

•the impact of changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the following:

•the overall global economic and geopolitical environment, consumer spending patterns and risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic;

•the risk that our estimates regarding consumer demand are inaccurate, or that economic conditions including delayed shipments and other global supply chain challenges worsen beyond what we currently estimate;

•the risk that inflation continues to rise, which could increase our expenses and negatively impact consumer demand;

•the risk that we may be unable to manage our inventory effectively and the resulting impact on our gross margins and sales;

•the risk that global supply chain delays will result in receiving inventory after the applicable selling season and lead to significant impairment charges;

•the risk that we or our franchisees may be unsuccessful in gauging apparel trends and changing consumer preferences or responding with sufficient lead time;

•the risk that we fail to maintain, enhance and protect our brand image and reputation;

•the risk that increased public focus on our ESG initiatives or our inability to meet our stated ESG goals could affect our brand image and reputation;

•the risk that our franchisees and licensees could impair the value of our brands;

•the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•the risk that comparable sales and margins will experience fluctuations;

•natural disasters, public health crises (similar to and including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), political crises (such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine), negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events;

•the risk that we or our franchisees may be unsuccessful in identifying, negotiating, and securing new store locations and renewing, modifying, or terminating leases for existing store locations effectively;

•the risk that we will not be successful in defending various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims;

•our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations and changes in the regulatory or administrative landscape;

•reductions in income and cash flow from our credit card arrangement related to our private label and co-branded credit cards and our new credit card arrangement;

Future economic and industry trends that could potentially impact net sales and profitability are difficult to predict. These forward-looking statements are based on information as of May 27, 2022. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.

We suggest that this document be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”) management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 29, 2022 has been derived from our audited financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. We suggest that you read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022.

The results of operations for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 52-week period ending January 28, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy.

During the second half of fiscal 2021, global supply chain disruption, including increased port congestion and COVID-related factory closures, caused significant product delays resulting in brands being unable to fully meet customer demand. During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022, we continued to encounter global supply chain disruptions and store closures in certain international markets.

We will continue to consider the impact of the global supply chain disruptions and the COVID-19 pandemic on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements including inventory valuation, income taxes, and the impairment of long-lived store assets and operating lease assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If the economic conditions worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Restricted Cash

As of April 30, 2022, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for certain obligations occurring in the normal course of business and our insurance obligations. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

($ in millions)	April 30, 2022		January 29, 2022		May 1, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents, per Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	845	$	877	$	2,066
Restricted cash included in other long-term assets	26		25		30
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, per Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	$	871	$	902	$	2,096

Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures, based on current information.

Deferred Revenue

We defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards, licensing agreements, outstanding loyalty points, and reimbursements of loyalty program discounts associated with our credit card agreement. For the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $345 million, of which $127 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $323 million as of April 30, 2022.

For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $231 million, of which $89 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $222 million as of May 1, 2021.

The increase in the deferred revenue balance as of April 30, 2022 and the revenue recognition during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 is primarily due to the issuance of additional loyalty points with the launch of our new integrated loyalty program across the U.S. and Puerto Rico in July 2021.

In April 2021, the Company entered into agreements with Barclays and Mastercard relating to a new long-term credit card program that is expected to begin in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Accordingly, our private label credit card program with Synchrony Financial will be discontinued upon the launch of the new long-term credit card program. As of April 30, 2022, the Company has received $60 million related to the new agreements, which was primarily recorded in other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2022. Upon program launch, this upfront payment will be recognized as revenue over the term of the agreement.

Note 3. Debt and Credit Facilities

Long-term debt recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consists of the following:

(2)Includes an option to redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part at any time, subject to a make-whole premium, prior to October 1, 2026. On or after October 1, 2026, includes an option to redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part at any time, at stated redemption prices.

In September 2021, we completed the issuance of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.625 percent senior notes due 2029 (“2029 Notes”) and 3.875 percent senior notes due 2031 (“2031 Notes”) (the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, collectively, the “Senior Notes”). As of April 30, 2022, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $1.21 billion and was based on the quoted market prices for each of the Senior Notes (level 1 inputs) as of the last business day of the fiscal quarter. The aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is recorded in long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of the unamortized debt issuance cost.

In May 2020, we entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility"), which has a $1.8675 billion borrowing capacity and bears interest at a base rate (typically LIBOR) plus a margin depending on borrowing base availability. The ABL Facility is scheduled to expire in May 2023. We also have the ability to issue letters of credit on our ABL Facility. As of April 30, 2022, we had $51 million in standby letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility.

On February 9, 2022, the Company borrowed $350 million under the ABL Facility. The variable interest rate on the drawn amount is monthly LIBOR plus 200 basis points, subject to a LIBOR floor of 75 basis points. The borrowing was recorded in long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2022.

We also maintain multiple agreements with third parties that make unsecured revolving credit facilities available for our operations in foreign locations (the “Foreign Facilities”). The Foreign Facilities are uncommitted and had a total capacity of $48 million as of April 30, 2022. As of April 30, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Foreign Facilities. There were $9 million in bank guarantees issued and outstanding primarily related to store leases under the Foreign Facilities as of April 30, 2022.

We have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit agreements that are uncommitted and do not have expiration dates. There were no material standby letters of credit issued under these agreements as of April 30, 2022.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivatives and available-for-sale debt securities. The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon a three-level hierarchy that considers the related valuation techniques.

There were no material purchases, sales, issuances, or settlements related to recurring level 3 measurements for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021. There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities into or out of level 1, level 2, and level 3 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and cash equivalents are as follows:

We have highly liquid fixed and variable income investments classified as cash equivalents. With the exception of our available-for-sale investments noted below, we value these investments at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate. Our cash equivalents are placed primarily in time deposits.

11

Our available-for-sale securities are comprised of investments in debt securities and are recorded in both short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These securities are recorded at fair value using market prices. As of April 30, 2022 and January 29, 2022, the Company held no available-for-sale debt securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 1, 2021, the Company held $475 million of available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates greater than three months and less than two years within short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, as of May 1, 2021, the Company held $25 million of available-for-sale debt securities with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase within cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities included within accumulated other comprehensive income were not material as of May 1, 2021.

The Company regularly reviews any available-for-sale debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, the Company did not consider any of its securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired and, accordingly, did not recognize any impairment loss.

Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is determined using pricing models based on current market rates. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding currencies hedged against the U.S. dollar.

We maintain the Gap, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”), which allows eligible employees to defer base compensation and bonus up to a maximum percentage, and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their Board fees. Plan investments are directed by participants and are recorded at market value and designated for the DCP. The fair value of the Company’s DCP assets is determined based on quoted market prices, and the assets are recorded in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nonfinancial Assets

We review the carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of the long-lived assets is determined using level 3 inputs and based on discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the risk. The asset group is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for our retail stores is at the store level.

There were no material impairment charges recorded for long-lived assets during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021.

We review the carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

There were no impairment charges recorded for goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 25.0 percent for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022, compared with 11.2 percent for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the impact of the tax benefit resulting from divestiture activity that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and changes in the jurisdictional mix of pretax income.

Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments

We operate in foreign countries, which exposes us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and do not enter into derivative financial contracts for trading purposes. Consistent with our risk management guidelines, we hedge a portion of our transactions related to merchandise purchases for foreign operations and certain intercompany transactions using foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions that are monitored for counterparty risk. The currencies hedged against changes in the U.S. dollar are the Canadian dollar, British pound, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, New Taiwan dollar, Euro, and Chinese yuan. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as other current assets, other long-term assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, or other long-term liabilities.

12

Cash Flow Hedges

We designate the following foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges: forward contracts used to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs denominated in U.S. dollars made by our international subsidiaries whose functional currencies are their local currencies. The foreign exchange forward contracts entered into to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs generally have terms of 12 to 24 months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is recognized into net income (loss) during the period in which the underlying transaction impacts the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our market risk exposure associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for certain intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity with the intercompany balance. The gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments that represent economic hedges, as well as the remeasurement impact of the underlying intercompany balances, is recorded in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period and generally offset each other.

Outstanding Notional Amounts

We had foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding in the following notional amounts:

($ in millions)	April 30, 2022		January 29, 2022		May 1, 2021

All of the unrealized gains and losses from designated cash flow hedges as of April 30, 2022 will be recognized in income within the next 12 months at the then-current values, which may differ from the fair values as of April 30, 2022 shown above.

Our foreign exchange forward contracts are subject to master netting arrangements with each of our counterparties and such arrangements are enforceable in the event of default or early termination of the contract. We do not elect to offset the fair values of our derivative financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and as such, the fair values shown above represent gross amounts. The amounts subject to enforceable master netting arrangements were not material for all periods presented.

See Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures on the fair value measurements of our derivative financial instruments.

In February 2019, the Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization (the "February 2019 repurchase program"). The February 2019 repurchase program had $545 million remaining as of April 30, 2022. All common stock repurchased is immediately retired.

Note 8. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Weighted-average number of shares used for earnings (loss) per share is as follows:

	13 Weeks Ended
(shares in millions)	April 30, 2022	May 1, 2021
Weighted-average number of shares - basic	370	376

_________

(1)For the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022, the dilutive impact of outstanding options and awards was excluded from dilutive shares as a result of the Company's net loss for the period.

The anti-dilutive shares related to stock options and other stock awards excluded from the computation of weighted-average number of shares – diluted were 12 million and 7 million for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, respectively, as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share.

14

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases, trademarks, intellectual property, financial agreements, and various other agreements. Under these contracts, we may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (e.g., ownership of assets, environmental or tax indemnifications), or personal injury matters. The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated, and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims ("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of April 30, 2022, Actions filed against us included commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, securities, and data privacy claims, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some Actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages and some are covered in part by insurance. As of April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022, and May 1, 2021, we recorded a liability for an estimated loss if the outcome of an Action is expected to result in a loss that is considered probable and reasonably estimable. The liability recorded was not material for any individual Action or in total for all periods presented. Subsequent to April 30, 2022, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

Note 10. Segment Information

We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of April 30, 2022, our operating segments included: Old Navy Global, Gap Global, Banana Republic Global, and Athleta Global. Each operating segment has a brand president who is responsible for various geographies and channels. Each of our brands serves customer demand through stores and online channels, leveraging our omni-channel capabilities that allow customers to shop seamlessly across all of our brands. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment as of April 30, 2022. We continually monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments.

See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disaggregation of revenue for stores and online and by brand and region.

Note 11. Divestitures

On February 1, 2022, we completed the transition of our Gap Italy operations to a third party, OVS S.p.A. ("OVS"), to operate Gap Italy stores as a franchise partner. The impact from the transaction was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022. The Company has also reclassified certain assets as held for sale assets that are expected to be sold in the next 12 months related to our distribution center in Rugby, England. The aggregate carrying amount of the assets held for sale, primarily consisting of fixed assets, was $45 million and was recorded within other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2022.

On April 8, 2021, the Company divested the Janie and Jack brand. In addition, the Company reclassified $109 million of assets and $112 million of liabilities for the Intermix brand as held for sale within other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 1, 2021 and measured the disposal group at its estimated fair value less costs to sell. The aggregate carrying amount of assets and liabilities for amounts classified as held for sale primarily consisted of $61 million of net operating lease assets, $19 million of inventory, and $97 million of operating lease liabilities. The divestiture of Intermix was completed on May 21, 2021. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $56 million within operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OUR BUSINESS

We are a collection of purpose-led, lifestyle brands offering apparel, accessories, and personal care products for men, women, and children under the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands. We have Company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Mexico. Our products are available to customers online through Company-owned websites and through the use of third parties that provide logistics and fulfillment services. We also have franchise agreements with unaffiliated franchisees to operate Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Under these agreements, third parties operate, or will operate, stores and websites that sell apparel and related products under our brand names. In addition to operating in the specialty, outlet, online, and franchise channels, we use our omni-channel capabilities to bridge the digital world and physical stores to further enhance our shopping experience for our customers. Our omni-channel services, including curbside pick-up, buy online pick-up in store, order-in-store, find-in-store, and ship-from-store, as well as enhanced mobile-enabled experiences, are tailored uniquely across our collection of brands. Most of the products sold under our brand names are designed by us and manufactured by independent sources.

OVERVIEW

Financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 are as follows:

•Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 13 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Online sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 17 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 10 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.10 billion compared with $1.63 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 31.5 percent compared with 40.8 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(197) million compared with operating income of $240 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 25.0 percent compared with 11.2 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(162) million compared with net income of $166 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Diluted loss per share was $(0.44) for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.43 for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, our quarterly results were negatively impacted primarily by the continued global supply chain disruption, as well as product assortment and acceptance issues in key categories, largely at Old Navy, related to the post-COVID lifestyle consumer shift into occasion and work-based categories compared to the active and casual category preference last year. The quarterly results were also impacted by execution missteps in size and assortment at Old Navy related to BODEQUALITY, our extended size initiative launched in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Global supply chain disruptions continued to affect our quarterly results due to difficulty managing the timing of seasonal inventory flows, and an inability to quickly react to changing consumer preferences. As a result, inventory levels are higher with an increase in extended-life basics and select seasonal basics being stored at distribution centers for expected introduction into the market in the second half of fiscal 2022 and first half of fiscal 2023.

While we navigate these temporary headwinds, we remain focused on our key initiatives for our Power Plan strategy. Each of our purpose-led, lifestyle brands are finding new and relevant ways to expand customer reach. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we have expanded Banana Republic into new lifestyle categories through the launch of BR Baby and BR Athletics, debuted new product collaborations for Athleta and Gap, and expanded our international franchise presence.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we completed our European partnership transition of our Gap Italy operations to OVS who will operate Gap Italy stores as a franchise partner. In addition, in March 2022, the first Gap branded shop-in-shop opened in the United Kingdom as a part of the Company's joint venture with Next Plc ("Next"). The joint venture is planning to launch additional shop-in-shops in the United Kingdom throughout 2022 and is preparing to migrate Gap’s United Kingdom and Ireland e-commerce business to the Next Total Platform. In addition to these changes to our European operating model, we are in the process of seeking regulatory approvals to transition our Old Navy Mexico operations to a franchise partner. We believe these transformations of our business model will streamline our operations by using strong local partnerships to grow our brands and amplify our reach.

The Company continues to reduce the number of Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America by approximately 350 stores from the beginning of fiscal 2020 to the end of fiscal 2023. As of April 30, 2022, we have closed, net of openings, 259 Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America since the beginning of fiscal 2020.

16

We remain focused on the following strategic priorities in the near term:

•driving improved sales at Old Navy through assortment improvements and a balanced and relevant category mix;

•reducing our fixed cost structure to fuel demand generation investments;

•leveraging our scale to navigate disruptions and constraints in global supply chain;

•managing inventory to support a healthy merchandise margin;

•rationalizing the Gap and Banana Republic store fleet;

•prioritizing asset-light growth through licensing, online, and franchise partnerships globally;

•creating product that offers value to our customers through a combination of fit, quality, brand and price;

•investing in our four purpose-led lifestyle brands to drive relevance and gain market share;

•growing our online business;

•attracting and retaining strong talent in our businesses and functions; and

•continuing to integrate social and environmental sustainability into business practices to support long-term growth.

We believe focusing on these priorities in the near term will propel the Company to execute against its Power Plan strategy, including leveraging:

•The Power of its Brands, reflected by the Company’s four purpose-led, lifestyle brands: Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta;

•The Power of its Portfolio, which enables growth synergies across key customer categories; and

•The Power of its Platform, which leverages the Company’s powerful platform to both enable growth, such as through competitive omni-channel capabilities, as well as cost synergies, fueled by its scaled operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for net sales disaggregation.

Comparable Sales ("Comp Sales")

Comp Sales include the results of Company-operated stores and sales through online channels. The calculation of Gap Inc. Comp Sales excludes the results of our franchise business. Gap Inc. Comp Sales included the results of Janie and Jack and Intermix until the divestitures of those brands in fiscal 2021.

A store is included in the Comp Sales calculations when it has been open and operated by the Company for at least one year and the selling square footage has not changed by 15 percent or more within the past year. A store is included in the Comp Sales calculations on the first day it has comparable prior year sales. Stores in which the selling square footage has changed by 15 percent or more as a result of a remodel, expansion, or reduction are excluded from the Comp Sales calculations until the first day they have comparable prior year sales.

A store is considered non-comparable ("Non-comp") when it has been open and operated by the Company for less than one year or has changed its selling square footage by 15 percent or more within the past year.

A store is considered "Closed" if it is temporarily closed for three or more full consecutive days or it is permanently closed. When a temporarily closed store reopens, the store will be placed in the Comp/Non-comp status it was in prior to its closure. If a store was in Closed status for three or more days in the prior year, the store will be in Non-comp status for the same days the following year.

Current year foreign exchange rates are applied to both current year and prior year Comp Sales to achieve a consistent basis for comparison.

For the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, any stores temporarily closed for more than three days as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were excluded from the Comp Sales calculations. After stores reopened, subsequent sales were included in the Comp/Non-comp status they were in prior to temporary closure. Online sales continued to be included in the Comp Sales calculation for each period.

The percentage change in Comp Sales by global brand and for The Gap, Inc., as compared with the preceding year, is as follows:

	13 Weeks Ended
	April 30, 2022
Old Navy Global	(22)	%
Gap Global	(11)	%

Net Sales

Our net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased $514 million, or 13 percent, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021, driven primarily by Old Navy as a result of challenges related to product acceptance and BODEQUALITY program execution, compounded by continued global supply chain disruptions. Net sales were also negatively impacted by strategic store closures and the divestitures of the Janie and Jack and Intermix brands last year, offset by the positive impact of growth in Banana Republic net sales.

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses increased 9.3 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Cost of goods sold increased 7.6 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily driven by increased average unit costs largely due to air freight expenses, as well as higher promotional activity.

•Occupancy expenses increased 1.7 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in net sales without a corresponding decrease in fixed occupancy expenses.

Operating expenses	$	1,293		$	1,390

Operating margin	(5.7)		%	6.0		%

Operating expenses decreased $97 million but increased 2.4 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to a decrease in net sales as well as the following:

•a decrease in performance-based compensation; and

•a loss on divestiture activity that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 related to the Janie and Jack and Intermix brands; partially offset by

•an increase in advertising expense.

Interest Expense

	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	April 30, 2022		May 1, 2021
Interest expense	$	20	$	54

Interest expense decreased $34 million or 63 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to lower interest rates and principal for outstanding borrowings for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

($ in millions)	April 30, 2022			May 1, 2021

Effective tax rate	25.0		%	11.2		%

The increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021 is primarily due to the impact of the tax benefit resulting from divestiture activity that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and changes in the jurisdictional mix of pretax income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of April 30, 2022, we consider the following to be our primary measures of liquidity and capital resources:

($ in millions)	Source of Liquidity		Outstanding Indebtedness		Total Available Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents	$	845	$	—	$	845
Debt
3.625 percent 2029 Notes	750		750		—
3.875 percent 2031 Notes	750		750		—
Total	$	2,345	$	1,500	$	845

We are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our ABL Facility or other available market instruments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company borrowed $350 million under the ABL Facility.

Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from the sale of our merchandise. Our primary uses of cash include merchandise inventory purchases, lease and occupancy costs, personnel-related expenses, purchases of property and equipment, air freight and shipping costs, and payment of taxes. As our business typically follows a seasonal pattern, with sales peaking during the end-of-year holiday period, we fund inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through cash flows from operating activities and available cash. The seasonality of our operations, in addition to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain disruption, may lead to significant fluctuations in certain asset and liability accounts as well as cash inflows and outflows between fiscal year-end and subsequent interim periods.

We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with our cash flows from operations, and instruments mentioned above, provide sufficient funds for our business operations as well as capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, and other liquidity requirements associated with our business operations over the next 12 months and beyond.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used for operating activities was $362 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $340 million of cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the following:

    Net Income (Loss)

•Net loss compared with net income in prior comparable period;

Changes in operating assets and liabilities

•a decrease of $276 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities in part due to bonus payout during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and a decrease in accrued bonus for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021; and

•a decrease of $235 million related to merchandise inventory during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to timing of receipts as a result of global supply chain disruptions, including higher inventory due to extended-life basics and select seasonal basic product being stored at distribution centers through the first half of fiscal 2023; and

•a decrease of $131 million related to accounts payable primarily due to timing and increased payments for inventory during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021; partially offset by

•an increase of $387 million related to income taxes payable, net of receivables and other tax-related items, primarily due to receipt of tax refunds during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 related to our fiscal 2020 net operating loss carryback claims.

21

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $105 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $161 million of cash used for investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the following:

•$333 million in net proceeds received for the sale of a building during the first quarter of fiscal 2022; partially offset by

•$104 million more purchases of property and equipment during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $233 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $98 million of cash used for financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to $350 million in proceeds received as a result of borrowing from the ABL Facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe free cash flow is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash a company has available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. We require regular capital expenditures including technology improvements to automate processes, engage with customers, and optimize our supply chain in addition to building and maintaining stores. We use this metric internally, as we believe our sustained ability to generate free cash flow is an important driver of value creation. However, this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to supersede or replace our GAAP results.

The following table reconciles free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, from a GAAP financial measure.

	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	April 30, 2022		May 1, 2021

Less: Purchases of property and equipment	(228)		(124)
Free cash flow	$	(590)	$	216

Dividend Policy

In determining whether and at what level to declare a dividend, we consider a number of factors including sustainability, operating performance, liquidity, and market conditions.

We paid a dividend of $0.15 per share during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. In May 2022, our board of directors authorized a dividend of $0.15 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Share Repurchases

Certain financial information about the Company’s share repurchases is set forth in Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Summary Disclosures about Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of January 29, 2022, other than those which occur in the normal course of business. See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on commitments and contingencies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022. See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on accounting policies.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our market risk profile as of January 29, 2022, is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and has not significantly changed other than the $350 million variable-rate borrowing under our ABL Facility, which is subject to interest rate risk due to changes in LIBOR. See Notes 3, 4, and 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q for disclosures on our debt and credit facilities, investments, and derivative financial instruments.

22

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

23

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims ("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Actions filed against us from time to time include commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, securities, and data privacy claims, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some Actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages, and some are covered in part by insurance.

We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Accordingly, developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and impact operations in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our financial results.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Note 1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”) management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 29, 2022 has been derived from our audited financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. We suggest that you read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022.

The results of operations for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 52-week period ending January 28, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy.

During the second half of fiscal 2021, global supply chain disruption, including increased port congestion and COVID-related factory closures, caused significant product delays resulting in brands being unable to fully meet customer demand. During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022, we continued to encounter global supply chain disruptions and store closures in certain international markets.

We will continue to consider the impact of the global supply chain disruptions and the COVID-19 pandemic on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements including inventory valuation, income taxes, and the impairment of long-lived store assets and operating lease assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If the economic conditions worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Restricted Cash

As of April 30, 2022, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for certain obligations occurring in the normal course of business and our insurance obligations. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

($ in millions)	April 30, 2022		January 29, 2022		May 1, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents, per Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	845	$	877	$	2,066
Restricted cash included in other long-term assets	26		25		30
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, per Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	$	871	$	902	$	2,096

Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures, based on current information.

Deferred Revenue

We defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards, licensing agreements, outstanding loyalty points, and reimbursements of loyalty program discounts associated with our credit card agreement. For the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $345 million, of which $127 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $323 million as of April 30, 2022.

For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $231 million, of which $89 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $222 million as of May 1, 2021.

The increase in the deferred revenue balance as of April 30, 2022 and the revenue recognition during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 is primarily due to the issuance of additional loyalty points with the launch of our new integrated loyalty program across the U.S. and Puerto Rico in July 2021.

In April 2021, the Company entered into agreements with Barclays and Mastercard relating to a new long-term credit card program that is expected to begin in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Accordingly, our private label credit card program with Synchrony Financial will be discontinued upon the launch of the new long-term credit card program. As of April 30, 2022, the Company has received $60 million related to the new agreements, which was primarily recorded in other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2022. Upon program launch, this upfront payment will be recognized as revenue over the term of the agreement.

In September 2021, we completed the issuance of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.625 percent senior notes due 2029 (“2029 Notes”) and 3.875 percent senior notes due 2031 (“2031 Notes”) (the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, collectively, the “Senior Notes”). As of April 30, 2022, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $1.21 billion and was based on the quoted market prices for each of the Senior Notes (level 1 inputs) as of the last business day of the fiscal quarter. The aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is recorded in long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of the unamortized debt issuance cost.

In May 2020, we entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility"), which has a $1.8675 billion borrowing capacity and bears interest at a base rate (typically LIBOR) plus a margin depending on borrowing base availability. The ABL Facility is scheduled to expire in May 2023. We also have the ability to issue letters of credit on our ABL Facility. As of April 30, 2022, we had $51 million in standby letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility.

On February 9, 2022, the Company borrowed $350 million under the ABL Facility. The variable interest rate on the drawn amount is monthly LIBOR plus 200 basis points, subject to a LIBOR floor of 75 basis points. The borrowing was recorded in long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2022.

We also maintain multiple agreements with third parties that make unsecured revolving credit facilities available for our operations in foreign locations (the “Foreign Facilities”). The Foreign Facilities are uncommitted and had a total capacity of $48 million as of April 30, 2022. As of April 30, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Foreign Facilities. There were $9 million in bank guarantees issued and outstanding primarily related to store leases under the Foreign Facilities as of April 30, 2022.

We have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit agreements that are uncommitted and do not have expiration dates. There were no material standby letters of credit issued under these agreements as of April 30, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivatives and available-for-sale debt securities. The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon a three-level hierarchy that considers the related valuation techniques.

There were no material purchases, sales, issuances, or settlements related to recurring level 3 measurements for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021. There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities into or out of level 1, level 2, and level 3 for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and cash equivalents are as follows:

We have highly liquid fixed and variable income investments classified as cash equivalents. With the exception of our available-for-sale investments noted below, we value these investments at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate. Our cash equivalents are placed primarily in time deposits.

Our available-for-sale securities are comprised of investments in debt securities and are recorded in both short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These securities are recorded at fair value using market prices. As of April 30, 2022 and January 29, 2022, the Company held no available-for-sale debt securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 1, 2021, the Company held $475 million of available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates greater than three months and less than two years within short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, as of May 1, 2021, the Company held $25 million of available-for-sale debt securities with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase within cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities included within accumulated other comprehensive income were not material as of May 1, 2021.

The Company regularly reviews any available-for-sale debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, the Company did not consider any of its securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired and, accordingly, did not recognize any impairment loss.

Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is determined using pricing models based on current market rates. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding currencies hedged against the U.S. dollar.

We maintain the Gap, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”), which allows eligible employees to defer base compensation and bonus up to a maximum percentage, and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their Board fees. Plan investments are directed by participants and are recorded at market value and designated for the DCP. The fair value of the Company’s DCP assets is determined based on quoted market prices, and the assets are recorded in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nonfinancial Assets

We review the carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of the long-lived assets is determined using level 3 inputs and based on discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the risk. The asset group is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for our retail stores is at the store level.

There were no material impairment charges recorded for long-lived assets during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021.

We review the carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

There were no impairment charges recorded for goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021.

Income Taxes	Income TaxesThe effective income tax rate was 25.0 percent for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022, compared with 11.2 percent for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the impact of the tax benefit resulting from divestiture activity that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and changes in the jurisdictional mix of pretax income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

We operate in foreign countries, which exposes us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and do not enter into derivative financial contracts for trading purposes. Consistent with our risk management guidelines, we hedge a portion of our transactions related to merchandise purchases for foreign operations and certain intercompany transactions using foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions that are monitored for counterparty risk. The currencies hedged against changes in the U.S. dollar are the Canadian dollar, British pound, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, New Taiwan dollar, Euro, and Chinese yuan. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as other current assets, other long-term assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, or other long-term liabilities.

Cash Flow Hedges

We designate the following foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges: forward contracts used to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs denominated in U.S. dollars made by our international subsidiaries whose functional currencies are their local currencies. The foreign exchange forward contracts entered into to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs generally have terms of 12 to 24 months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is recognized into net income (loss) during the period in which the underlying transaction impacts the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our market risk exposure associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for certain intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity with the intercompany balance. The gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments that represent economic hedges, as well as the remeasurement impact of the underlying intercompany balances, is recorded in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period and generally offset each other.

Outstanding Notional Amounts

We had foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding in the following notional amounts:

Our foreign exchange forward contracts are subject to master netting arrangements with each of our counterparties and such arrangements are enforceable in the event of default or early termination of the contract. We do not elect to offset the fair values of our derivative financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and as such, the fair values shown above represent gross amounts. The amounts subject to enforceable master netting arrangements were not material for all periods presented.

See Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures on the fair value measurements of our derivative financial instruments.

The pre-tax amounts recognized in net income (loss) related to derivative instruments are as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases, trademarks, intellectual property, financial agreements, and various other agreements. Under these contracts, we may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (e.g., ownership of assets, environmental or tax indemnifications), or personal injury matters. The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated, and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims ("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of April 30, 2022, Actions filed against us included commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, securities, and data privacy claims, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some Actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages and some are covered in part by insurance. As of April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022, and May 1, 2021, we recorded a liability for an estimated loss if the outcome of an Action is expected to result in a loss that is considered probable and reasonably estimable. The liability recorded was not material for any individual Action or in total for all periods presented. Subsequent to April 30, 2022, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

Segment Information

Segment Information

We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of April 30, 2022, our operating segments included: Old Navy Global, Gap Global, Banana Republic Global, and Athleta Global. Each operating segment has a brand president who is responsible for various geographies and channels. Each of our brands serves customer demand through stores and online channels, leveraging our omni-channel capabilities that allow customers to shop seamlessly across all of our brands. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment as of April 30, 2022. We continually monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments.

The Company has also reclassified certain assets as held for sale assets that are expected to be sold in the next 12 months related to our distribution center in Rugby, England. The aggregate carrying amount of the assets held for sale, primarily consisting of fixed assets, was $45 million and was recorded within other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2022. On April 8, 2021, the Company divested the Janie and Jack brand. In addition, the Company reclassified $109 million of assets and $112 million of liabilities for the Intermix brand as held for sale within other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 1, 2021 and measured the disposal group at its estimated fair value less costs to sell. The aggregate carrying amount of assets and liabilities for amounts classified as held for sale primarily consisted of $61 million of net operating lease assets, $19 million of inventory, and $97 million of operating lease liabilities. The divestiture of Intermix was completed on May 21, 2021. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $56 million within operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021.
