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:

•monitoring the impact of changes in U.S. trade policy and tariffs on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing our financial information;

•the impact of recent accounting pronouncements;

•the timing of revenue recognition of upfront payments related to our credit card program agreement;

•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;

•meeting the closing conditions to transfer the Gap Taiwan operations;

•our arrangements with third parties to operate stores and websites selling apparel and related products under our brand names;

•maintaining and building upon financial and operational rigor, through an optimized cost structure and disciplined inventory management;

•reinvigorating our brands to drive relevance and an engaging omni-channel experience;

•strengthening and evolving our operating platform with a digital-first mindset to drive scale and efficiency;

•energizing our culture by attracting and retaining strong talent;

•continuing to integrate sustainability into business practices to support long-term growth;

•the impact of changes to U.S. trade policy and tariffs on the cost of our merchandise and gross margins;

•the potential impact of macroeconomic factors on our business and the retail environment, continued uncertainty related to the macroeconomic environment, monitoring macroeconomic conditions, and evaluating potential mitigating actions;

•our ability to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our ABL Facility (as defined below) or other available market instruments;

•the impact of the seasonality of our operations, in addition to the impact of macroeconomic factors, on certain cash inflows and outflows;

•the ability of our current balances of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, along with our cash flows from operations, our 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 Part 1, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q below;

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

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

Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the following risks, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or reputation:

•the overall global economic and geopolitical environment, uncertainties related to government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies, and consumer spending patterns;

•recent changes in U.S. trade policy and tariffs, and the risk of potential future changes or worsening trade tensions between the United States and other countries;

•the risk that trade matters, including tariffs on goods imported from our sourcing countries, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of apparel available to us;

•the risk that our enterprise risk management efforts will not be successful in mitigating the negative impact of tariffs;

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

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

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

•the risk that we do not successfully implement our marketing efforts, or that our talent partnerships expose us to reputational or other risks;

•the risk that we may be unable to manage our inventory and fulfillment operations effectively and the resulting impact on our sales and results of operations;

•the risk of loss or theft of assets, including inventory shortage;

•the risks to our business, including our costs and global supply chain, associated with global sourcing and manufacturing;

•the risks of U.S. or foreign labor strikes, work stoppages, boycotts, port congestion, and other disruptions to our sourcing operations;

•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 we fail to manage key executive succession and retention and to continue to attract qualified personnel;

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

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

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

•the risk that our investments in customer, digital, omni-channel, and other strategic initiatives may not deliver the results we anticipate;

•engaging in or seeking to engage in strategic transactions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties;

•the risk of information 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 digital and information technology systems, including our continued integration of data science and artificial intelligence, may disrupt our operations;

•the risk that our technology systems that support our e-commerce platform may not be effective or function properly;

•reductions in income and cash flow from our credit card programs;

•the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•the risk that our comparable sales and margins may experience fluctuations or that we may fail to meet financial market expectations;

•the risk that our level of indebtedness may impact our ability to operate and expand our business;

•the risk that we and our subsidiaries may be unable to meet our obligations under our indebtedness agreements;

•the risk that covenants in our indebtedness agreements may restrict or limit our business;

•the risk that changes in our credit profile or deterioration in market conditions may limit our access to the capital markets;

•evolving regulations and expectations with respect to environmental, social, and governance matters, and increased scrutiny of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives;

•the adverse impacts of climate change on our business;

•natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events;

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

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

•the risk that the assumptions and estimates used when preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including estimates and assumptions regarding inventory valuation, income taxes and valuation allowances, sales return and bad debt allowances, deferred revenue, and the impairment of long-lived assets, are inaccurate or may change, and the resulting impact on our results of operations;

•the risk that changes in the geographic mix and level of income or losses, the expected or actual outcome of audits, changes in deferred tax valuation allowances, and new legislation could impact our effective tax rate, or that we may be required to pay amounts in excess of established tax liabilities; and

•the risk that the adoption of new accounting pronouncements will impact future results.

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 February 1, 2025 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 May 30, 2025. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.

We suggest that this document be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of The Gap, Inc. (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 May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 1, 2025 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 February 1, 2025.

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. Our most significant accounting judgments include, but are not limited to, estimates and assumptions used for inventory valuation, income taxes and valuation allowances, sales return and bad debt allowances, deferred revenue, and the impairment of long-lived assets.

The United States has recently enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed substantial tariffs on imported goods from a number of countries. We will continue to consider the impact of these developments on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing our quarterly financial statements.

Restricted Cash

As of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, 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:


($ in millions)	May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents, per Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	1,976	$	2,335	$	1,532

Restricted cash included in other long-term assets	28		30		29
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, per Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	$	2,004	$	2,365	$	1,561

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. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that this ASU will have on the Company's disclosures.

ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact that this ASU will have on the Company's disclosures.

Note 2. Revenue

We disaggregate our net sales by channel and also by brand and region. Net sales by region are allocated based on the location of the store where the customer paid for and received the merchandise; the distribution center or store from which the products were shipped; or the region of the franchise or licensing partner.

Net sales disaggregated by channel are as follows:


	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024

Store and franchise sales	$	2,107	$	2,106
Online sales (1)	1,356		1,282
Total net sales	$	3,463	$	3,388

__________

(1)Online sales primarily include sales originating from our online channel including those that are picked up or shipped from stores and net sales from revenue-generating strategic initiatives.

Net sales disaggregated by brand and region are as follows:

__________

(1)U.S. includes the United States and Puerto Rico.

(2)Primarily consists of net sales from revenue-generating strategic initiatives.

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 rewards associated with our credit card agreement. For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $273 million, of which $94 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $249 million as of May 3, 2025.

For the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $337 million, of which $123 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $310 million as of May 4, 2024.

In April 2021, the Company entered into agreements with Barclays and Mastercard relating to a long-term credit card program. The Company received an upfront payment of $60 million related to the agreements prior to the program launch in May 2022, which is being recognized as revenue over the term of the agreements. We also receive revenue sharing from our credit card agreement for private label and co-branded credit cards.

Note 3. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 26.6 percent for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, compared with 24.0 percent for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024. The increase is primarily due to less favorable impacts of stock-based compensation, as well as changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings.

Note 4. Debt and Credit Facilities

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


($ in millions)	May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024

(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.

We have $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 May 3, 2025, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $1.34 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.

We also have a senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility"), which has a $2.2 billion borrowing capacity and generally bears interest at a per annum rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (subject to a zero floor) plus a margin, depending on borrowing base availability. The ABL Facility is scheduled to expire in July 2027 and is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes.

There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, or May 4, 2024.

We also have the ability to issue letters of credit on our ABL Facility. As of May 3, 2025, we had $47 million in standby letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility.

Note 5. 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 weeks ended May 3, 2025 or May 4, 2024.

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

We have highly liquid fixed and variable income investments classified as cash equivalents and short-term investments. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and time deposits recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, as well as debt securities recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets. We also have highly liquid investments with original maturities of greater than three months and less than two years that are classified as short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These debt securities are also recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets.

There were no material realized or unrealized gains or losses or impairment charges related to short-term investments during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 or May 4, 2024.

Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding currencies hedged against the U.S. dollar.

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

Nonfinancial Assets

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

There were no material impairment charges recorded for long-lived assets during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 or May 4, 2024.

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

There were no impairment charges recorded for goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 or May 4, 2024.

Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments

We operate in foreign countries, which exposes us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and do not enter into derivative financial contracts for trading purposes. Consistent with our risk management guidelines, we hedge a portion of our transactions related to merchandise purchases for foreign operations and certain intercompany transactions using foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions that are monitored for counterparty risk. The currencies hedged against changes in the U.S. dollar are the Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, British pound, 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 (loss) 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.

Outstanding Notional Amounts

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

The majority of the unrealized gains and losses from designated cash flow hedges as of May 3, 2025 will be recognized in income within the next 12 months at the then-current values, which may differ from the fair values as of May 3, 2025 shown above.

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

See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures on the fair value measurements of our derivative financial instruments.

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

(1)Excludes shares withheld to settle employee tax withholding payments related to the vesting of stock units.

In February 2019, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization (the "February 2019 repurchase program"). The February 2019 repurchase program had $331 million remaining as of May 3, 2025. All common stock repurchased is immediately retired.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

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


	13 Weeks Ended
(shares in millions)	May 3, 2025	May 4, 2024
Weighted-average number of shares - basic	375	374
Common stock equivalents	7	9
Weighted-average number of shares - diluted	382	383

The anti-dilutive shares related to stock options and other stock awards excluded from the computation of weighted-average number of shares – diluted were 2 million and 6 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively, as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

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

As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims ("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual, tax, and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of May 3, 2025, 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 May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, 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 May 3, 2025, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

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

Note 10. Segment Information

We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of May 3, 2025, our operating segments included: Old Navy Global, Gap Global, Banana Republic Global, and Athleta Global. Each of our brands serves customer demand through our store and franchise channel and our online channel, leveraging our omni-channel capabilities that allow customers to shop seamlessly across all of our brands. Additionally, our products, suppliers, customers, methods of distribution, and regulatory environment are similar across our brands. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar qualitative and economic characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment as of May 3, 2025. 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.

Gap Inc.’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews measures of segment profit or loss by comparing budgeted versus actual and forecasted results, for purposes of assessing performance, allocating resources, and making decisions. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in total.

The following table presents information for segment profit and significant expenses:


	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Net sales	$	3,463	$	3,388
Cost of goods sold	1,554		1,521
Occupancy expenses (1)	461		470
Operating expenses (2)	1,188		1,192
Operating income	$	260	$	205

__________

(1)Occupancy expenses include lease and other occupancy related cost, depreciation, and amortization related to our store operations, distribution centers, information technology, and certain corporate functions.

(2)Operating expenses primarily include payroll and benefits expenses, advertising expenses, information technology expenses and maintenance costs, and other administrative expenses.

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

Note 11. Divestitures

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 Gap Taiwan operations will continue to operate as usual until regulatory approvals and closing conditions are met.

Note 12. 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.

The Company's outstanding obligations under the SCF program were $313 million, $387 million, and $324 million as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025, and May 4, 2024, 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 house of iconic brands offering apparel, accessories, and personal care products for men, women, and children under the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands. Our products are available to customers both in stores and online, through Company-operated and franchise stores, websites, and third-party arrangements. We have Company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Taiwan. 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. The shopping experience is further enhanced by our omni-channel services, including buy online pick-up in store, order-in-store, and ship-from-store, as well as enhanced mobile-enabled experiences, which allow our customers to shop seamlessly across our brands and channels. Our brands have shared investments in supply chain and inventory management, which allows us to optimize efficiency and responsiveness in our operations. Most of the products sold under our brand names are designed by us and manufactured by independent sources.

OVERVIEW

Financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 are as follows:

•Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 2 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Store and franchise sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were flat compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and online sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 6 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.45 billion compared with $1.40 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 41.8 percent compared with 41.2 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $260 million compared with $205 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 26.6 percent compared with 24.0 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $193 million compared with $158 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Diluted earnings per share was $0.51 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $0.41 for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Merchandise inventory as of the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 7 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

While we continue to transform, we remain focused on the following strategic priorities in the near term:

•maintaining and building upon financial and operational rigor, through an optimized cost structure and disciplined inventory management;

•reinvigorating our brands to drive relevance and an engaging omni-channel experience;

•strengthening and evolving our operating platform with a digital-first mindset to drive scale and efficiency;

•energizing our culture by attracting and retaining strong talent; and

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

Macroeconomic factors, including uncertainty surrounding global geopolitical instability, inflationary pressures, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in interest rates, duties, tariffs, tax laws, and other restrictions as a result of government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies, continue to create a complex and challenging retail environment. The United States has recently enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed substantial tariffs on imported goods from a number of countries. Certain of these tariffs are currently paused. Changes in U.S. trade policy and uncertainty surrounding tariff rates have contributed to overall macroeconomic volatility, and the eventual outcome of the trade policy may increase the cost of our merchandise and therefore negatively impact our gross margins in future quarters.

The macroeconomic environment has had and may continue to have an impact on consumer behavior, and we anticipate continued uncertainty related to the macroeconomic environment during fiscal 2025. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and evaluate potential mitigating actions. For additional information on risks related to macroeconomic conditions and our supply chain, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions—Global economic conditions have and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Operations—Trade matters may disrupt our supply chain,” in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-Q.

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 the franchise and our licensing business.

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:


	13 Weeks Ended
	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Old Navy Global	3	%	3	%
Gap Global	5	%	3	%
Banana Republic Global	—	%	1	%

Outlet and factory stores are reflected in each of the respective brands.

As of May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, the Company's franchise partners operated approximately 1,000 franchise stores.

Net Sales

Our net sales increased $75 million, or 2 percent, during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, driven primarily by an increase in online sales.

Cost of Goods Sold and Occupancy Expenses


	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	May 3, 2025			May 4, 2024
Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses	$	2,015		$	1,991
Gross profit	$	1,448		$	1,397
Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales	58.2		%	58.8		%
Gross margin	41.8		%	41.2		%

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses decreased 0.6 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

•Cost of goods sold was flat as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Changes in U.S. trade policy and uncertainty surrounding tariff rates have contributed to overall macroeconomic volatility, and the eventual outcome of the trade policy may increase cost of goods sold and therefore negatively impact our gross margins in future quarters.

•Occupancy expenses decreased 0.6 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily driven by an increase in online sales without a corresponding increase in occupancy expenses.

Operating Expenses


	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	May 3, 2025			May 4, 2024
Operating expenses	$	1,188		$	1,192
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales	34.3		%	35.2		%
Operating margin	7.5		%	6.1		%

Operating expenses were relatively flat, but decreased 0.9 percentage points as a percentage of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in net sales while maintaining operating discipline.

Interest Expense


	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Interest expense	$	23	$	21

Interest expense primarily includes interest on outstanding borrowings and obligations mainly related to our Senior Notes and tax-related interest expense.

Interest Income


	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Interest income	$	(26)	$	(24)

Interest income increased slightly during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher cash balances, partially offset by lower interest rates.

Income Taxes


	13 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	May 3, 2025			May 4, 2024
Income tax expense	$	70		$	50
Effective tax rate	26.6		%	24.0		%

The increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024 is primarily due to less favorable impacts of stock-based compensation, as well as changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In addition to our cash flows from operating activities, our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and our ABL Facility. As of May 3, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.98 billion and short-term investments of $244 million. We hold our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments across a diversified set of reputable financial institutions and monitor the credit standing of those financial institutions. In addition, we 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 May 3, 2025. See Note 4 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.

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. In addition, we may have dividend payments and share repurchases. The seasonality of our operations, in addition to the impact of macroeconomic factors, 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. These macroeconomic factors include uncertainty surrounding global geopolitical instability, inflationary pressures, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in interest rates, duties, tariffs, tax laws, and other restrictions as a result of government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies.

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

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used for operating activities was $140 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $30 million of net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to the following:

•a decrease of $113 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities primarily due to higher payments for performance-based compensation during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024; and

•a decrease of $56 million related to merchandise inventory in part due to timing of receipts during the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities decreased $218 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to $198 million of net purchases of short-term investments during the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities increased $76 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to $70 million in repurchases of common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with no repurchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

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, our Board considers a number of factors including sustainability, operating performance, liquidity, and market conditions.

We paid a dividend of $0.165 per share during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. In May 2025, the Board authorized a dividend of $0.165 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following risk factors appearing in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 have been updated.

Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions

Global economic conditions have and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business is affected by global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending worldwide. Global economic conditions have impacted and could continue to impact our business. Some of the factors that may influence consumer spending patterns include higher unemployment levels; pandemics and other health crises; extreme weather conditions and natural disasters; higher consumer debt levels; inflationary pressures; recession or fear of recession; global geopolitical instability (including in Europe and the Middle East); reductions in net worth based on market declines and uncertainty; home foreclosures and reductions in home values; fluctuating interest and foreign currency exchange rates and credit availability; government austerity measures; changes and uncertainties related to government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies including changes in interest rates, duties, tariffs, tax laws, and other restrictions; fluctuating fuel and other energy costs; fluctuating commodity prices; and reduced consumer confidence and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment. Historically, consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our merchandise, generally decline during recessionary periods when disposable income is lower or during other periods of economic instability or uncertainty.

The United States has recently enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed or proposed imposing substantial tariffs on imported goods from a number of countries. The imposition of tariffs has resulted in increased market volatility and exacerbated inflationary pressures and recessionary fears, and may negatively impact gross domestic product growth in the United States and other countries, all of which could result in reduced discretionary spending by our customers. The situation regarding U.S. tariffs and trade policies has been fluid and may continue to change. As a result of these dynamics, any future changes to U.S. tariffs or worsening trade tensions between the United States and other countries could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

Deteriorating economic conditions or geopolitical instability in any of the regions in which we and our franchisees sell our products could reduce consumer confidence and negatively impact consumer spending, and thereby could adversely affect our sales and results of operations. In challenging and uncertain economic environments, we cannot predict whether or when such circumstances may improve or worsen, or what impact, if any, such circumstances could have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, or on the price of our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations

Trade matters may disrupt our supply chain.

Our operations are subject to complex trade and customs laws, regulations, and tax requirements. The countries in which our products are manufactured or imported, or may be manufactured or imported in the future, may from time to time impose duties, tariffs, or other restrictions on our imports or adversely change existing restrictions.

The United States has recently enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed or proposed imposing substantial tariffs on imported goods from a number of countries. Unless otherwise exempted or subject to a different rate, all imports into the United States are currently subject to a baseline 10 percent reciprocal tariff rate. The United States has also imposed significantly higher individualized reciprocal tariff rates on certain countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, including Vietnam (46 percent), Indonesia (32 percent), and many of our other sourcing countries. The higher individualized reciprocal tariff rates are currently paused until July 9, 2025 (or in the case of China, until August 12, 2025), while the United States negotiates with these countries. Imports to the United States from China are also currently subject to an additional 20 percent tariff rate.

In fiscal 2024, approximately 27 percent and approximately 19 percent of our merchandise, by dollar value, was purchased from factories in Vietnam and Indonesia, respectively. In fiscal 2024, less than 10 percent of our merchandise, by dollar value, was purchased from factories in China.

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and many other countries with respect to tariffs and trade policies. The situation regarding U.S. tariffs and trade policies has been fluid and may continue to change. This risk may be particularly acute should trade tensions between the United States and other countries continue to worsen, which could result in, among other things, increased tariff rates and other trade restrictions, increased product costs, disruptions in the availability of goods, or a breakdown of international supply chains.

Through enterprise risk management, we continue to evaluate the impact of current and potential tariffs on our supply chain, costs, sales, and profitability, as well as our strategies to mitigate negative impacts. Given the current uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the United States and reciprocal trade actions by other countries, the impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations is unknown but could be material, especially if the higher individualized reciprocal tariff rates on our sourcing countries are maintained or if there is an escalation of tariffs or other trade restrictions. We can provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful in whole or in part. To the extent that our supply chain, costs, sales, or profitability are negatively impacted by these tariffs or other trade actions, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our sourcing operations could also be adversely affected by geopolitical and financial instability in our sourcing countries, as well as U.S. or foreign labor strikes, work stoppages, boycotts, or port congestion, resulting in the disruption of trade from our sourcing countries, significant fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, restrictions on the transfer of funds, or other trade disruptions. Disruptions to our sourcing operations in our sourcing countries could increase the cost or reduce the supply of apparel available to us and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There have been no other 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 February 1, 2025.
