FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than those that are purely historical are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:
the potential impact of global economic conditions on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;
the impact of recent accounting pronouncements;
the timing of revenue recognition of upfront payments related to our new credit card program agreements with Barclays and Mastercard;
the timing of recognition in income of unrealized gains and losses from designated cash flow hedges;
the impact of losses due to indemnification obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;
the outcome of proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims, including the impact of such actions on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and our financial results;
our arrangements with third parties to operate stores and websites selling apparel and related products under our brand names;
our plans to rationalize the Gap and Banana Republic store fleet by reducing the number of Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America;
managing inventory to facilitate margin recovery and optimizing our cost structure with operational and financial rigor;
reinvigorating our brands to drive relevance and an engaging omni-channel experience;
creating trend-right product assortments while driving creative excellence and delivering consistent product with storytelling that excites our customers;
rationalizing the Gap and Banana Republic store fleet;
attracting and retaining strong talent in our businesses and functions;
continuing to integrate social and environmental sustainability into business practices to support long-term growth;
our ability to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with the ABL Facility or other available market instruments;
the impact of seasonality and global economic conditions on certain asset and liability accounts as well as cash inflows and outflows;
the ability of our cash flows from our operations, current balances of cash and cash equivalents, the Senior Notes and the ABL Facility, and other available market instruments to support our business operations and liquidity requirements;
the importance of our sustained ability to generate free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined and discussed in more detail in Item 2 of Part 1 of this Form 10-Q below;
our dividend policy, including the potential timing and amounts of future dividends;
the impact of reductions in our credit ratings on our interest expense on future borrowings; and
the impact of changes in internal control over financial reporting, including the impact of our restructuring plan on our 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 and the impact on consumer spending patterns;
the risk that we fail to maintain, enhance, and protect our brand image and reputation;
the highly competitive nature of our business in the United States and internationally;
the risk that we may be unable to manage or protect our inventory effectively and the resulting impact on our gross margins, sales, and results of operations;
the risk that we fail to manage key executive succession and retention and to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel;
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 restructuring our business may not generate the intended benefits and projected cost savings to the extent or on the timeline as expected;



the risk that inflationary pressures continue to negatively impact gross margins or that we are unable to pass along price increases;
the risks to our business, including our costs and supply chain, associated with global sourcing and manufacturing;
the risks to our reputation or operations associated with importing merchandise from foreign countries, including failure of our vendors to adhere to our Code of Vendor Conduct;
the risk that trade matters could increase the cost or reduce the supply of apparel available to us;
reductions in income and cash flow from our credit card arrangement related to our private label and co-branded credit cards;
the risk of data or other security breaches or vulnerabilities that may result in increased costs, violations of law, significant legal and financial exposure, and a loss of confidence in our security measures;
the risk that failures of, or updates or changes to, our IT systems may disrupt our operations;

THE GAP, INC.
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, stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 28, 2023 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 28, 2023.
The results of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 53-week period ending February 3, 2024.
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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions such as the uncertainty regarding global inflationary pressures, acts of terrorism or war, global credit and banking markets, and new legislation. We will continue to consider the impact of the global economic conditions on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements including inventory valuation, income taxes and valuation allowances, sales return and bad debt allowances, deferred revenue, and the impairment of long-lived assets. If the global 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 October 28, 2023, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for our insurance obligations and certain other obligations occurring in the normal course of business. 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:

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, per Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows$1,379 $1,273 $706 
Accounting Pronouncements
Except as noted below, 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.
ASU No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency of the use of supplier finance programs by requiring that the buyers in those programs provide additional disclosures about the program’s nature and potential magnitude, including a rollforward of the obligations and activity during the period. The ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The ASU does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. We adopted this ASU on January 29, 2023. See Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our supply chain finance program.
Note 2. Revenue

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 October 28, 2023, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $327 million, of which $119 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $354 million, of which $227 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $315 million as of October 28, 2023.

For the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2022, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $321 million, of which $119 million was recognized as revenue during the period.

In April 2021, the Company entered into agreements with Barclays and Mastercard relating to a new long-term credit card program. In May 2022, the Company launched the new credit card program with Barclays and Mastercard and accordingly, our prior credit card program with Synchrony Financial was discontinued. The Company received an upfront payment of $60 million related to the new agreements prior to the program launch, which is being recognized as revenue over the term of the agreements.

Note 3. Restructuring
On April 25, 2023, the Company's management committed to a restructuring plan (the "Plan") as part of the Company's previously announced efforts to simplify and optimize its operating model and structure. The Plan includes a reduction in workforce of approximately 1,800 employees, primarily in headquarters locations. The actions associated with the reduction of the Company's workforce under the Plan have been substantially completed.
In connection with the Plan, the Company incurred $5 million and $93 million in pre-tax restructuring costs during the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023, respectively. The costs incurred in connection with the Plan are as follows:

Note 4. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 12.8 percent for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2023, compared with negative 67.9 percent for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2022. The change in the effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2023 compared with the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2022 is primarily due to changes in the amount and jurisdictional mix of pre-tax earnings, the cumulative impact of a change in the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate recognized in the prior year, and a current year tax benefit from the impact of foreign valuation allowances.
The effective income tax rate was 6.2 percent for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023, compared with 174.0 percent for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022. The change in the effective tax rate for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023 compared with the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022 is primarily due to changes in the amount and jurisdictional mix of pre-tax earnings, the cumulative impact of a change in the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate recognized in the prior year, and current year tax benefits from the impact of valuation allowances and a U.S. transfer pricing settlement related to our sourcing activities.

(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.
On September 27, 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 October 28, 2023, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $1.10 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 Sheets, net of the unamortized debt issuance costs.
On May 7, 2020, we entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility"), which was previously scheduled to expire in May 2023. On July 13, 2022, we entered into an amendment and restatement of the ABL Facility. Among other changes, the amendment and restatement extended the maturity of the ABL Facility to July 2027, increased the borrowing capacity from $1.8675 billion to $2.2 billion, modified the reference rate from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), and reduced the applicable interest rate margin. Following the amendment and restatement, the ABL Facility generally bears interest at a per annum rate based on SOFR (subject to a zero floor) plus a margin, depending on borrowing base availability. The ABL Facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes.
As of January 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022, the Company's outstanding borrowing under the ABL Facility was $350 million and was recorded in long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company repaid an aggregate of $200 million to reduce the outstanding borrowing under the ABL Facility to $150 million as of July 29, 2023. During the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining $150 million outstanding borrowing under the ABL Facility. There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of October 28, 2023.
We also have the ability to issue letters of credit on our ABL Facility. As of October 28, 2023, we had $49 million in standby letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility.
Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. 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 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023 or October 29, 2022.

We have highly liquid fixed and variable income investments classified as cash equivalents. 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.
Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. See Note 7 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 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023.
During the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022, the Company recorded impairment of store assets of $10 million and impairment of operating lease assets of $16 million. The impairment of the store assets reduced the carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $12 million to their estimated fair value of $2 million. The impairment of operating lease assets reduced the carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $62 million to their estimated fair value of $46 million. The impairment charges were recorded in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023 or October 29, 2022.
Note 7. 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, Japanese yen, British pound, Mexican peso, New Taiwan dollar, and Euro. 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 foreign exchange 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 as cash flow hedges. The foreign exchange forward contracts entered into to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs generally have terms of up 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 and is recognized into net income 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.

The majority of the unrealized gains and losses from designated cash flow hedges as of October 28, 2023 will be recognized in income within the next 12 months at the then-current values, which may differ from the fair values as of October 28, 2023 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.

Note 10. 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 October 28, 2023, 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 October 28, 2023, January 28, 2023, and October 29, 2022, 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 October 28, 2023, 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 11. Segment Information
We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of October 28, 2023, 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 October 28, 2023. 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 by channel and by brand and region.
Note 12. 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. We completed the transition of our United Kingdom and Ireland online operations to a franchise partner through a joint venture with Next Plc on August 10, 2022. The impacts from these transactions upon divestiture were not material to our results of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2022.
We sold our distribution center in Rugby, England for $125 million on September 30, 2022. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $83 million within operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2022.
We also completed the transition of our Old Navy Mexico operations to a third party, Grupo Axo, to operate Old Navy Mexico stores as a franchise partner, on August 1, 2022. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $35 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 when the assets were reclassified as held for sale. The pre-tax loss was recognized within operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
On November 7, 2022, we signed agreements to transition our Gap China and Gap Taiwan ("Gap Greater China") operations to a third party, Baozun Inc. ("Baozun"), to operate Gap Greater China stores and the in-market website as a franchise partner, subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions. On January 31, 2023, the Gap China transaction closed with Baozun. The impact upon divestiture was not material to our results of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023. The Gap Taiwan operations will continue to operate as usual until regulatory approvals and closing conditions are met.
16


Note 13. Supply Chain Finance Program
Our voluntary supply chain finance ("SCF") program provides certain suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between our suppliers and the financial institutions and our payment terms are not impacted by whether a supplier participates in the SCF program.
We may agree to side letters with participating financial institutions related to the SCF program that require us to transfer a certain amount of cash to be used as collateral for our payment obligations in a specified period. These collateral amounts, if applicable, are classified as restricted cash on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no collateral amounts under the SCF program as of October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022. The collateral amount under the SCF program was $30 million as of January 28, 2023. Additionally, our lenders under the ABL Facility who also participate in the SCF program have their related financings secured pursuant to the terms of the ABL Facility.
The Company's outstanding obligations under the SCF program were $344 million, $316 million, and $206 million as of October 28, 2023, January 28, 2023, and October 29, 2022, respectively, and were included in accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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, and Taiwan. Our products are available to customers online through Company-owned websites and through third party arrangements. We also have franchise agreements 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 third quarter of fiscal 2023 are as follows:
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 7 percent compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Online sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 8 percent compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and store and franchise sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 6 percent compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.56 billion compared with $1.51 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 41.3 percent compared with 37.4 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $250 million compared with operating income of $186 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 12.8 percent compared with negative 67.9 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $218 million compared with net income of $282 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Diluted earnings per share was $0.58 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.77 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Merchandise inventory as of the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 22 percent compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
Effective August 22, 2023, Richard Dickson became the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.
On April 25, 2023, the Company's management committed to the Plan as part of the Company's previously announced efforts to simplify and optimize its operating model and structure. The Plan includes a reduction in workforce of approximately 1,800 employees, primarily in headquarters locations. The actions associated with the reduction of the Company's workforce under the Plan have been substantially completed. In connection with the Plan, the Company incurred $5 million and $93 million in pre-tax restructuring costs during the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023, respectively. Restructuring costs for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2023 primarily included consulting and other associated costs. Restructuring costs for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023 included employee-related costs of $64 million and consulting and other associated costs of $29 million.
The Company is also continuing 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 October 28, 2023, we have closed, net of openings, 328 Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America since the beginning of fiscal 2020.
On November 7, 2022, we signed agreements to transition our Gap Greater China operations to a third party, Baozun, to operate Gap Greater China stores and the in-market website as a franchise partner, subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions. On January 31, 2023, the Gap China transaction closed with Baozun. The impact upon divestiture was not material to our results of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023. The Gap Taiwan operations will continue to operate as usual until regulatory approvals and closing conditions are met.
18


We are focused on the following strategic priorities in the near term:
managing inventory to facilitate margin recovery and optimizing our cost structure with operational and financial rigor;
reinvigorating our brands to drive relevance and an engaging omni-channel experience;
creating trend-right product assortments while driving creative excellence and delivering consistent product with storytelling that excites our customers;
rationalizing the Gap and Banana Republic store fleet;
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.

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 our online channel. The calculation of Comp Sales excludes the results of our franchise business. Comp Sales also included the results of certain foreign operations until their respective transitions to third party franchise partners. See Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for related disclosures.
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.
The percentage change in Comp Sales by global brand and for The Gap, Inc., as compared with the preceding year, is as follows:

Net Sales
Our net sales decreased $272 million, or 7 percent, during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022, and decreased $782 million, or 7 percent, during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2022. This was driven primarily by a decrease in Comp Sales, the transition of our Gap China business to a partnership model, and other strategic store closures. Additionally, there was an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange for the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 of $67 million. The foreign exchange impact is the translation impact if net sales for the prior year period were translated at exchange rates applicable during the current year period.

Cost of goods sold decreased 4.6 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by lower commodity costs and air freight expenses, as well as improved promotional activity. Additionally, there was inventory impairment that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as a result of the decision to discontinue the Yeezy Gap business.
Occupancy expenses increased 0.7 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in net sales without a corresponding decrease in fixed occupancy expenses.

Cost of goods sold decreased 4.8 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in air freight expenses and improved promotional activity. Additionally, there was inventory impairment that occurred during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 as a result of delayed seasonal product due to global supply chain disruption and extended size product discontinued at stores, and the decision to discontinue the Yeezy Gap business. This was partially offset by commodity price increases in the first half of fiscal 2023.
Occupancy expenses increased 0.7 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in Comp Sales without a corresponding decrease in fixed occupancy expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In addition to our cash flows from operating activities, our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, our Senior Notes, and our ABL Facility. As of October 28, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.4 billion. We hold our cash and cash equivalents across a diversified set of reputable financial institutions and monitor the credit standing of those financial institutions. In addition, we have issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, and are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our ABL Facility or other available market instruments. There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of October 28, 2023. See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on the Senior Notes and 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, 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 global economic conditions such as the uncertainty surrounding global inflationary pressures, acts of terrorism or war, global credit and banking markets, and new legislation, 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.
Our voluntary SCF program provides certain suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between our suppliers and the financial institutions and our payment terms are not impacted by whether a supplier participates in the SCF program. See Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on the Company's SCF program.
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, and other liquidity requirements associated with our business operations over the next 12 months and beyond.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $832 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with $112 million of net cash used for operating activities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the following:
    Net Income
an increase in net income;
Changes in operating assets and liabilities
an increase of $636 million related to accounts payable primarily due to the timing of payments for inventory during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2022; and
an increase of $112 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities primarily due to lower bonus payments during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2022; partially offset by
a decrease of $166 million related to income taxes payable, net of receivables and other tax-related items, primarily due to receipt of tax refunds during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 related to fiscal 2020 net operating loss carryback claims.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities increased $84 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the following:
$76 million in net proceeds from the sale of a building during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with $458 million in net proceeds from the sale of buildings during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022; partially offset by
$289 million less purchases of property and equipment during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, largely due to rationalizing our technology investments.
24


Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $516 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared with $60 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the following:
$350 million from the ABL Facility that was borrowed during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 and repaid during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023; partially offset by
$123 million in repurchases of common stock during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 compared with no repurchases during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023.
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 as well as building and maintaining our stores and distribution centers. 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.

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 third quarter of fiscal 2023. In November 2023, the Board authorized a dividend of $0.15 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
Share Repurchases
Certain financial information about the Company’s share repurchases is set forth in Note 8 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 28, 2023, other than those which occur in the normal course of business. See Note 10 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 28, 2023. 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 28, 2023 is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and has not significantly changed other than as noted below. See Notes 5, 6, and 7 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.
On March 27, 2023, Moody's downgraded our corporate credit rating from Ba2 to Ba3 with a negative outlook and downgraded the rating of our Senior Notes from Ba3 to B1 with a negative outlook. These reductions and any future reduction in our credit ratings could result in an increase to our interest expense on future borrowings.

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 third quarter of fiscal 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company reviews its internal control over financial reporting following major organizational restructuring. The impact of the Plan on the Company's internal control over financial reporting has been assessed and will continue to be monitored throughout the fiscal year. See Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on the Plan.

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 28, 2023, other than as updated in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 29, 2023.

The February 2019 repurchase program had $476 million remaining as of October 28, 2023.
