NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011 have been prepared by The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”), without audit. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 28, 2012 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 (“GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements. 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, 2012.

The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the fifty-three-week period ending February 2, 2013.

We identify our operating segments based on the way we manage and evaluate our business activities. We have two reportable segments: Stores and Direct.

Beginning in the fiscal period ended October 29, 2011, we included short-term debt in current maturities of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, short-term debt of $3 million that was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of July 30, 2011 has been included in current maturities of debt to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) to simplify the manner in which entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The ASU permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets consist of the following and are included in other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

($ in millions)	July 28,     2012			January 28, 2012			July 30,     2011
Goodwill	$	99		$	99		$	99
Trade name	$	54		$	54		$	54
Other indefinite-lived intangible assets	$	6		$	—		$	—
Intangible assets subject to amortization	$	15		$	15		$	15
Less: Accumulated amortization		(15	)		(14	)		(14	)
Intangible assets subject to amortization, net	$	—		$	1		$	1

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, there were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, which is allocated to the Direct reportable segment. The intangible assets subject to amortization were fully amortized in the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 and as such, there was no amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2012. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $1 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2011 and $1 million and $2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization is recorded in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 4. Debt and Credit Facilities

Long-term debt consists of the following:

($ in millions)	July 28, 2012			January 28, 2012			July 30, 2011
Notes	$	1,246		$	1,246		$	1,246
Term loan		360			400			400
Total long-term debt		1,606			1,646			1,646
Less: Current portion		(40	)		(40	)		(40	)
Total long-term debt, less current portion	$	1,566		$	1,606		$	1,606

As of July 28, 2012, January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, the estimated fair value of our $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.95 percent notes (“the Notes”) due April 2021 was $1.32 billion, $1.19 billion, and $1.23 billion, respectively, and was based on the quoted market price of the Notes (level 1 inputs) as of the last business day of the respective fiscal quarter. In April 2012, we repaid $40 million related to our $400 million, five-year, unsecured term loan due April 2016. Repayments of $40 million are due in April of each year, with a final repayment of $240 million due in April 2016. The estimated fair value of the term loan was $360 million, $400 million, and $400 million as of July 28, 2012, January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, respectively. The carrying amount of the term loan approximates its fair value, as the interest rate varies depending on quoted market rates (level 1 inputs) and our credit rating.

In August 2012, we notified our lenders of our intent to repay the remaining $360 million balance of the term loan in the fiscal period ending October 27, 2012.

We have a $500 million, five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), which is scheduled to expire in April 2016. As of July 28, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Facility. The net availability of the Facility, reflecting $69 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, was $431 million as of July 28, 2012.

We also have two separate agreements that make unsecured revolving credit facilities available for our operations in China (the “China Facilities”). The 196 million Chinese yuan ($31 million as of July 28, 2012) China Facilities are scheduled to expire in September 2012 and we expect to renew under substantially similar terms. As of July 28, 2012, there were borrowings of $8 million (50 million Chinese yuan) at an interest rate of approximately 6.13 percent under the China Facilities, which are recorded in current maturities of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net availability of the China Facilities, reflecting these borrowings and $2 million in bank guarantees related to store leases, was $21 million as of July 28, 2012.

As of January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, current maturities of debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets includes borrowings under the China Facilities of $19 million and $3 million, respectively.

As of July 28, 2012, we had a $100 million, two-year, unsecured committed letter of credit agreement that was set to expire in September 2012. In August 2012, we renewed the terms of the letter of credit agreement to extend the expiration date to September 2014 and reduce the amount of the letter of credit agreement to $50 million. As of July 28, 2012, we had no material trade letters of credit issued under the then-existing $100 million letter of credit agreement.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

There were no purchases, sales, issuances, or settlements related to recurring level 3 measurements during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 or July 30, 2011. There were no transfers into or out of level 1 and level 2 during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 or July 30, 2011.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and cash equivalents and short-term investments held at amortized cost are as follows:

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

We have highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents and short-term investments, which are placed primarily in money market funds, time deposits, and commercial paper. These investments are classified as held-to-maturity based on our positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. We value these investments at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate. Money market funds of $211 million as of July 30, 2011 have been reclassified from cash to cash equivalents and are included as level 1 measurements in the table above. This correction had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any period reported.

9

Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. The principal currencies hedged against changes in the U.S. dollar are the Euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is determined using pricing models based on current market rates. Derivative financial instruments in an asset position are recorded in other current assets or other long-term assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative financial instruments in a liability position are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or lease incentives and other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We maintain the Gap Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”), which allows eligible employees to defer compensation up to a maximum amount. Plan investments are recorded at market value and are 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 in 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. 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 thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 or July 30, 2011. There were no material impairment charges recorded for other long-lived assets for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 or July 30, 2011.

Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments

We operate in foreign countries, which exposes us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our risk management policy is to hedge a significant portion of forecasted merchandise purchases for foreign operations, forecasted intercompany royalty payments, forecasted intercompany revenue transactions, intercompany obligations that bear foreign exchange risk, and the net assets of international subsidiaries using foreign exchange forward contracts. The principal currencies hedged against changes in the U.S. dollar are the Euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for trading purposes. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Flow Hedges

We designate the following foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges: (1) forward contracts used to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs denominated primarily in U.S. dollars made by our international subsidiaries whose functional currencies are their local currencies; (2) forward contracts used to hedge forecasted intercompany royalty payments denominated in Japanese yen and Canadian dollars received by entities whose functional currencies are U.S. dollars; and (3) forward contracts used to hedge forecasted intercompany revenue transactions related to merchandise sold from our regional purchasing entity, whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, to certain international subsidiaries in their local currencies of Euro and British pounds. The foreign exchange forward contracts entered into to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs, intercompany royalty payments, and intercompany revenue transactions generally have terms of up to 18 months.

During the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2011, we entered into and settled treasury rate lock agreements in anticipation of issuing the 5.95 percent fixed-rate Notes of $1.25 billion in April 2011. Prior to the issuance of the Notes, we were subject to changes in interest rates, and we therefore locked into fixed-rate coupons to hedge against the interest rate fluctuations. The gain related to the treasury rate lock agreements is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and is recognized in income over the life of the Notes.

There were no material amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 or July 30, 2011 as a result of hedge ineffectiveness, hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, or the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable.

10

Net Investment Hedges

We also use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the net assets of international subsidiaries to offset the foreign currency translation and economic exposures related to our investment in the subsidiaries.

There were no amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 or July 30, 2011 as a result of hedge ineffectiveness, hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, or the discontinuance of net investment hedges.

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, as well as the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany balances, is recorded in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same period and generally offset. We generally enter into foreign exchange forward contracts as needed to hedge intercompany balances that bear foreign exchange risk.

Outstanding Notional Amounts

As of July 28, 2012, January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, we had foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding to sell various currencies related to our forecasted merchandise purchases, forecasted intercompany royalty payments, and forecasted intercompany revenue transactions and to buy the following notional amounts:

(notional amounts in millions)	July 28,     2012		January 28,   2012		July 30,     2011
U.S. dollars (1)	$	1,112	$	796	$	1,081
British pounds	£	19	£	30	£	43

(1) The principal currencies hedged against changes in the U.S. dollar were the Euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar.

As of July 28, 2012, January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, we had foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding to hedge the net assets of our French subsidiary and our Japanese subsidiary in the following notional amounts:

	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
($ and shares in millions except average per share cost)	July 28, 2012		July 30, 2011		July 28, 2012		July 30, 2011

Average per share cost including commissions	$	26.65	$	19.31	$	26.51	$	20.33

Between August 2010 and November 2011, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a total of $3.25 billion for share repurchases, of which $443 million under the November 2011 authorization was remaining as of January 28, 2012. In February 2012, we announced that the Board of Directors approved a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization that replaced the November 2011 authorization and cancelled the remaining $441 million under the November 2011 authorization as of February 23, 2012. As of July 28, 2012, there was $635 million remaining under the February 2012 authorization.

All except $2 million, $4 million, and $8 million of total share repurchases were paid for as of July 28, 2012, January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, respectively.

Note 8. Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily in operating expenses, is as follows:

	13 Weeks Ended						26 Weeks Ended

Share-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	14		$	10		$	33		$	21

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Canada, France, China, Hong Kong, Japan, the United Kingdom, and India. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2008, and with few exceptions, we are also no longer subject to U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2003.

As of July 28, 2012, we do not anticipate any significant changes in total gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Except where required by U.S. tax law, no provision has been made for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries when we intend to utilize those earnings in foreign operations for an indefinite period of time.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

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

	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
(shares in millions)	July 28, 2012		July 30, 2011		July 28, 2012		July 30, 2011
Weighted-average number of shares - basic		486		542		487		562
Common stock equivalents		5		3		6		5
Weighted-average number of shares - diluted		491		545		493		567

The above computations of weighted-average number of shares – diluted exclude 2 million and 13 million shares related to stock options and other stock awards for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively, and 2 million and 10 million shares related to stock options and other stock awards for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively, as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

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 July 28, 2012, Actions filed against us included commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, 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 July 28, 2012, January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011, 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 as of July 28, 2012, January 28, 2012, and July 30, 2011 was not material for any individual Action or in total. Subsequent to July 28, 2012 and through our filing date of August 31, 2012, no information has become available that indicates a material change to our estimate is required.

We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Accordingly, developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and impact income 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 position, results of operations, or cash flows taken as a whole.

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 such 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 financial position, results of operations, or cash flows taken as a whole.

Note 12. Segment Information

We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. All of our operating segments sell a group of similar products – apparel, accessories, and personal care products. We have two reportable segments:

• Stores – The Stores reportable segment includes the results of the retail stores for Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic. We have aggregated the results of all Stores operating segments into one reportable segment because the operating segments have similar economic characteristics.

• Direct – The Direct reportable segment includes the results for our online brands, including Piperlime and Athleta.

Financial Information for Reportable Segments

Operating income is a primary measure of profit we use to make decisions on allocating resources to our operating segments and to assess the operating performance of each operating segment. It is defined as income before interest expense, interest income, and income taxes. Corporate expenses are allocated to each operating segment and recorded in operating income on a rational and systematic basis.

Reportable segment assets presented below include those assets that are directly used in, or allocable to, that segment’s operations. Total assets for the Stores reportable segment primarily consist of merchandise inventory, the net book value of store assets, and prepaid expenses and receivables related to store operations. Total assets for the Direct reportable segment primarily consist of merchandise inventory, the net book value of information technology and distribution center assets, and the net book value of goodwill and trade name as a result of the acquisition of Athleta. We do not allocate corporate assets to our operating segments. Unallocated corporate assets primarily include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, the net book value of corporate property and equipment, and tax-related assets.

Selected financial information by reportable segment and reconciliations to our consolidated totals are as follows:

	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended

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

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:

• repaying the remaining balance on the term loan;

• income recognition of unrealized gains and losses from designated cash flow hedges;

• changes in total gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months;

• the outcome of proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims;

• the impact of losses due to indemnification obligations;

• earnings per share for fiscal 2012;

• improving sales with healthy merchandise margins;

• investing in our business while maintaining discipline;

• returning excess cash to shareholders;

• improving comparable store sales;

• growing revenues;

• opening additional stores, including outlets, in Asia, Canada, and Europe;

• continuing to open franchise stores worldwide;

• opening additional Athleta stores;

• the number of new store openings and store closings in fiscal 2012, including franchise stores;

• square footage change in fiscal 2012;

• operating margin and leveraging operating expenses in fiscal 2012;

• the effective tax rate in fiscal 2012;

• current cash balances and cash flows being sufficient to support our business operations, including growth initiatives and planned capital expenditures;

• ability to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our $500 million revolving credit facility;

• the impact of the seasonality of our operations on certain asset and liability accounts;

• depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 2012;

• capital expenditures in fiscal 2012;

• dividend payments in fiscal 2012; and

• the impact of changes in internal controls.

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 risk that adoption of new accounting pronouncements will impact future results;

• the risk that changes in general economic conditions or consumer spending patterns could adversely impact our results of operations;

• the highly competitive nature of our business in the United States and internationally;

• the risk that we or our franchisees will be unsuccessful in gauging apparel trends and changing consumer preferences;

• the risk to our business associated with global sourcing and manufacturing, including sourcing costs, events causing disruptions in product shipment, or an inability to secure sufficient manufacturing capacity;

• the risk that our efforts to expand internationally may not be successful;

• the risk that our franchisees will be unable to successfully open, operate, and grow their franchised stores in a manner consistent with our requirements regarding our brand identities and customer experience standards;

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

19

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

• the risk that changes in our credit profile or deterioration in market conditions may limit our access to the capital markets and adversely impact our financial results and our ability to service our debt while maintaining other initiatives;

• the risk that trade matters could increase the cost or reduce the supply of apparel available to us and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations;

• the risk that updates or changes to our information technology systems may disrupt our operations;

• the risk that actual or anticipated cyber attacks, and other cybersecurity risks, may cause us to incur increasing costs;

• the risk that natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic events could adversely affect our operations and financial results;

• the risk that acts or omissions by our third-party vendors, including a failure to comply with our code of vendor conduct, could have a negative impact on our reputation or operations;

• the risk that we do not repurchase some or all of the shares we anticipate purchasing pursuant to our share repurchase program;

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

• the risk that changes in the regulatory or administrative landscape could adversely affect our financial condition, strategies, and results of operations.

Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012 and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 August 31, 2012, and 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 Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.

We also have franchise agreements with unaffiliated franchisees to operate Gap and Banana Republic stores in many other countries around the world. Under these agreements, third parties operate, or will operate, stores that sell apparel and related products under our brand names. Our products are also available to customers online in about 90 countries through Company-owned websites and using third parties that provide logistics and fulfillment services. Most of the products sold under our brand names are designed by us and manufactured by independent sources. We also sell products that are designed and manufactured by branded third parties.

We identify our operating segments based on the way we manage and evaluate our business activities. We have two reportable segments: Stores and Direct.

OVERVIEW

Financial highlights for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 are as follows:

• Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 6 percent to $3.6 billion compared with $3.4 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Comparable sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which include the associated comparable online sales, increased 4 percent compared with a 2 percent decrease for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

• Direct net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 24 percent to $384 million compared with $309 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Our Direct reportable segment includes sales for each of our online brands, including Piperlime and Athleta.

• Net sales outside of the U.S. and Canada (including Direct and franchise) increased 7 percent to $551 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with $515 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

20

• Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $1.4 billion compared with $1.3 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was 39.9 percent compared with 36.9 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

• Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were $1.0 billion compared with $917 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and increased 0.9 percent as a percentage of net sales.

• Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 29 percent to $243 million compared with $189 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and diluted earnings per share increased 40 percent to $0.49 for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with $0.35 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2012, we expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.95 to $2.00.

• During the first half of fiscal 2012, we generated free cash flow of $673 million compared with free cash flow of $298 million during the first half of fiscal 2011. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. For a reconciliation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, from a GAAP financial measure, see the Liquidity and Capital Resources section.

Our full-year business and financial priorities for fiscal 2012 remain as follows:

• improve sales with healthy merchandise margins;

• invest in our business while maintaining discipline; and

• return excess cash to shareholders.

As we focus on improving comparable store sales in fiscal 2012, we also plan to grow revenues through the following:

• opening additional stores, many of which will be outlets, in Asia, Canada, and Europe;

• continuing to open franchise stores worldwide; and

• opening additional Athleta stores.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Net sales primarily consist of retail sales, online sales, and franchise revenues.

See Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for net sales by brand, region, and reportable segment.

Comparable Sales

The percentage change in comparable (“Comp”) sales by brand and region and for total Company, including the associated comparable online sales, as compared with the preceding year, is as follows:

	13 Weeks Ended						26 Weeks Ended
	July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011			July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011
Gap North America		7	%		(3	)%		6	%		(3	)%
Old Navy North America		3	%		—	%		4	%		(1	)%
Banana Republic North America		7	%		(2	)%		6	%		(1	)%
International		(5	)%		(4	)%		(4	)%		(5	)%
The Gap, Inc.		4	%		(2	)%		4	%		(2	)%

The percentage change in Comp store sales by brand and region and for total Company, excluding the associated comparable online sales, as compared with the preceding year, is as follows:

	13 Weeks Ended						26 Weeks Ended
	July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011			July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011
Gap North America		5	%		(5	)%		5	%		(5	)%
Old Navy North America		2	%		(2	)%		2	%		(3	)%
Banana Republic North America		5	%		(3	)%		4	%		(3	)%
International		(5	)%		(6	)%		(5	)%		(7	)%
The Gap, Inc.		2	%		(4	)%		2	%		(4	)%

Only Company-operated stores are included in the calculations of Comp sales. Gap and Banana Republic outlet Comp sales are reflected within the respective results of each brand. The results for Athleta are excluded from the calculations of total Company Comp sales due to its small number of Comp stores compared to our other brands. The results for Piperlime are excluded from the calculations of total Company Comp sales, as Piperlime is an online-only brand.

A store is included in the Comp sales calculations when it has been open 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 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.

Comparable online sales include sales through online channels and are reported based on the location of the distribution center.

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

Gap and Banana Republic outlet stores are reflected in each of the respective brands. We have franchise agreements with unaffiliated franchisees to operate Gap and Banana Republic stores throughout Asia, Australia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.

In fiscal 2012, we expect to open about 160 new Company-operated store locations and close about 145 Company-operated store locations. We expect square footage for Company-operated stores to decrease about 1 percent at the end of fiscal 2012 compared with the end of fiscal 2011. We expect our franchisees to open about 50 to 75 new franchise stores in fiscal 2012.

Net Sales

Our net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased $189 million, or 6 percent, compared with the prior year comparable period due to an increase in net sales of $114 million related to our Stores reportable segment and an increase in net sales of $75 million related to our Direct reportable segment.

• For the Stores reportable segment, our net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased $114 million, or 4 percent, compared with the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in Comp store sales, excluding the associated comparable online sales, for the U.S. and Canada, incremental sales for new international stores, and higher franchise net sales; partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $18 million. The foreign exchange impact is the translation impact if net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were translated at exchange rates applicable during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

23

• For the Direct reportable segment, our net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased $75 million, or 24 percent, compared with the prior year comparable period. The increase was due to growth in our online business across all brands and the incremental sales related to new Athleta stores.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, our net sales for the U.S. and Canada (including Direct) were $3.0 billion, an increase of $153 million or 5 percent compared with $2.9 billion for the prior year comparable period. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, our net sales outside of the U.S. and Canada (including Direct and franchise) were $551 million, an increase of $36 million or 7 percent compared with $515 million for the prior year comparable period.

Our net sales for the first half of fiscal 2012 increased $381 million, or 6 percent, compared with the prior year comparable period due to an increase in net sales of $244 million related to our Stores reportable segment and an increase in net sales of $137 million related to our Direct reportable segment.

• For the Stores reportable segment, our net sales for the first half of fiscal 2012 increased $244 million, or 4 percent, compared with the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in Comp store sales, excluding the associated comparable online sales, for the U.S. and Canada, incremental sales for new international stores, and higher franchise net sales.

• For the Direct reportable segment, our net sales for the first half of fiscal 2012 increased $137 million, or 21 percent, compared with the prior year comparable period. The increase was due to growth in our online business across all brands and the incremental sales related to new Athleta stores.

In the first half of fiscal 2012, our net sales for the U.S. and Canada (including Direct) were $6.0 billion, an increase of $288 million or 5 percent compared with $5.7 billion for the prior year comparable period. In the first half of fiscal 2012, our net sales outside of the U.S. and Canada (including Direct and franchise) were $1.1 billion, an increase of $93 million or 10 percent compared with $969 million for the prior year comparable period.

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 3.0 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period.

• Cost of goods sold decreased 2.1 percent as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to improved product acceptance resulting in improved average unit selling price.

• Occupancy expenses decreased 0.9 percent as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period. The decrease in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by higher net sales without a corresponding increase in occupancy expenses.

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 1.5 percent in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period.

• Cost of goods sold decreased 0.4 percent as a percentage of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by improved product acceptance resulting in improved average unit selling price partially offset by increased cost of merchandise primarily due to higher cotton prices.

• Occupancy expenses decreased 1.1 percent as a percentage of net sales in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period. The decrease in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by higher net sales and a decrease in occupancy expenses.

Operating Expenses

	13 Weeks Ended						26 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011			July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales		28.0	%		27.1	%		28.1	%		27.5	%
Operating margin		11.9	%		9.9	%		11.6	%		10.8	%

Operating expenses increased $85 million, or 0.9 percent as a percentage of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher marketing expenses, driven largely by Gap brand marketing investments, and higher store payroll expenses.

Operating expenses increased $147 million, or 0.6 percent as a percentage of net sales, in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher marketing expenses, driven largely by investments in customer relationship marketing and Gap brand marketing, and higher store payroll expenses.

Given our plans to continue to invest in our business, we expect operating expenses to deleverage in the second half of fiscal 2012.

For fiscal 2012, we expect operating margin to be about 11 percent.

Interest Expense

	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	July 28, 2012		July 30, 2011		July 28, 2012		July 30, 2011
Interest expense	$	22	$	22	$	45	$	28

Interest expense primarily consists of interest related to our $1.25 billion long-term debt and our $400 million term loan, of which $360 million was outstanding as of July 28, 2012. The increase in interest expense for the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period was primarily due to the issuance of our $1.25 billion long-term debt in April 2011 and the funding of our $400 million term loan in May 2011.

Income Taxes

	13 Weeks Ended						26 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011			July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011
Income taxes	$	162		$	124		$	302		$	272
Effective tax rate		40.0	%		39.6	%		38.8	%		39.2	%

The slight increase in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of a change in the mix of income as well as the more pronounced impact of operating losses in China and Hong Kong (for which no tax benefit has been provided) relative to Gap Inc. pre-tax income.

The slight decrease in the effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year comparable period was primarily due to favorable reassessments of tax positions during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

We currently expect the fiscal 2012 effective tax rate to be about 39.5 percent. The actual rate will ultimately depend on several variables, including the mix of income between domestic and international operations, the overall level of income, the potential resolution of outstanding tax contingencies, and changes in tax laws and rates.

25

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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, occupancy costs, personnel-related expenses, purchases of property and equipment, and payments of taxes.

As of July 28, 2012, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $2.1 billion. As of July 28, 2012, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents was held in the U.S. and is generally accessible without any limitations. We believe that current cash balances and cash flows from our operations will be sufficient to support our business operations, including growth initiatives and planned capital expenditures, for the next 12 months and beyond. We are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our $500 million revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first half of fiscal 2012 increased $411 million compared with the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the following:

• a decrease in income tax payments in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011;

• an increase in payments received for other receivables in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011;

• a smaller increase in merchandise inventory balances from the end of fiscal 2011 to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with a larger increase in merchandise inventory balances from the end of fiscal 2010 to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011; and

• an increase in net income in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011.

We fund merchandise inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through cash flows from operating activities and available cash. Our business follows a seasonal pattern with sales peaking over a total of about eight weeks during the end-of-year holiday period. The seasonality of our operations may lead to significant fluctuations in certain asset and liability accounts between fiscal year-end and subsequent interim periods.

For fiscal 2012, we expect depreciation and amortization expense, net of amortization of lease incentives, to be about $475 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our cash outflows from investing activities are primarily for capital expenditures and purchases of investments, while cash inflows are primarily proceeds from maturities of investments. Net cash used for investing activities during the first half of fiscal 2012 increased $139 million compared with the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the following:

• $75 million of net purchases of short-term investments in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with $25 million of net maturities in the first half of fiscal 2011; and

• $36 million more property and equipment purchases in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011.

For fiscal 2012, we expect capital expenditures to be up to $675 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our cash outflows from financing activities consist primarily of repurchases of our common stock, dividend payments, and repayments of debt. Cash inflows primarily consist of proceeds from the issuance of debt and proceeds from issuances under share-based compensation plans, net of withholding tax payments. In the first half of fiscal 2012, we used $433 million of cash for financing activities compared with a cash inflow of $200 million in the prior year comparable period. The change was primarily due to the following:

• $1.6 billion of proceeds from our issuance of long-term debt in the first half of fiscal 2011; partially offset by

• $991 million less repurchases of common stock in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011.

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, as we require regular capital expenditures to build and maintain stores and purchase new equipment to improve our business. 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 result.

26

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

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt as of July 28, 2012 consists of the following:

($ in millions)
Notes	$	1,246
Term loan		360
Total long-term debt		1,606
Less: Current portion		(40	)
Total long-term debt, less current portion	$	1,566

Our $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.95 percent Notes are due April 2021. For our $400 million, five-year, unsecured term loan due April 2016, repayments of $40 million are due in April of each year, with a final repayment of $240 million due in April 2016. In April 2012, we repaid $40 million related to our $400 million term loan.

In August 2012, we notified our lenders of our intent to repay the remaining $360 million balance of the term loan in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Credit Facilities

We have a $500 million, five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in April 2016. As of July 28, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Facility. The net availability of the Facility, reflecting $69 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, was $431 million as of July 28, 2012.

We also have two separate agreements that make unsecured revolving credit facilities available for our operations in China. The 196 million Chinese yuan ($31 million as of July 28, 2012) China Facilities are scheduled to expire in September 2012 and we expect to renew under substantially similar terms. As of July 28, 2012, there were borrowings of $8 million (50 million Chinese yuan) at an interest rate of approximately 6.13 percent under the China Facilities. The net availability of the China Facilities, reflecting these borrowings and $2 million in bank guarantees related to store leases, was $21 million as of July 28, 2012.

As of July 28, 2012, we had a $100 million, two-year, unsecured committed letter of credit agreement that was set to expire in September 2012. In August 2012, we renewed the terms of the letter of credit agreement to extend the expiration date to September 2014 and reduce the amount of the letter of credit agreement to $50 million. As of July 28, 2012, we had no material trade letters of credit issued under the then-existing $100 million letter of credit agreement.

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.

27

We paid a dividend of $0.25 per share and $0.225 per share during the first half of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Including the dividends paid in the first half of fiscal 2012, we intend to pay an annual dividend per share of $0.50 for fiscal 2012, which is an increase of 11 percent compared with $0.45 for fiscal 2011.

Share Repurchases

Between August 2010 and November 2011, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a total of $3.25 billion for share repurchases, of which $443 million under the November 2011 authorization was remaining as of January 28, 2012. In February 2012, we announced that the Board of Directors approved a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization that replaced the November 2011 authorization and cancelled the $441 million remaining under the November 2011 authorization as of February 23, 2012. As of July 28, 2012, there was $635 million remaining under the February 2012 authorization.

During the first half of fiscal 2012, we repurchased approximately 13.8 million shares for $367 million, including commissions, at an average price per share of $26.51.

Summary Disclosures about Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims 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, 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 income 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.
