FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than those that are purely historical are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:


•	the potential impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing the quarterly financial statements, and on our results of operations, financial position, and liquidity;


•	the potential impact if economic conditions caused by COVID-19 were to worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management;


•	the impact of recent accounting pronouncements;


•	recognition of revenue deferrals as revenue;


•	compliance with applicable financial covenants under the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, and the ABL Facility;


•	unrealized gains and losses from designated cash flow hedges;


•	total gross unrecognized tax benefits;


•	the impact of losses due to indemnification obligations;


•	the outcome of proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims, including the impact of such actions on our financial results;


•	the ability of our new capital structure to provide sufficient liquidity to continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic;


•	the ability to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our $1.8675 billion asset-based revolving credit facility or other available market instruments;


•	current cash balances and cash flows from our operations and from issuance of the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes being sufficient to support our business operations;


•	the impact of the seasonality of our operations;


•	offering product that is consistently brand-appropriate and on-trend with high customer acceptance;


•	growing and operating our global online business;


•	realigning inventory with customer demand;


•	increasing focus on improving operational discipline and efficiency by streamlining operations and processes and leveraging scale;


•	managing inventory to support a healthy merchandise margin;


•	the expectation that we will reach additional agreements with our landlords regarding suspended rent payments for our temporarily closed stores in the next several months;


•	rationalizing the Gap and Banana Republic brands, with emphasis on the specialty fleet globally, to create a healthier business;


•	continuing to integrate social and environmental sustainability into business practices;


•	increased interest expense on future borrowings caused by any future reductions in our credit ratings; and


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

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


•	the overall global economic environment and risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic;


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


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


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


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


•	the risk that failure to maintain, enhance and protect our brand image could have an adverse effect on our results of operations;


•	the risk that the failure to manage key executive succession and retention and to continue to attract qualified personnel could have an adverse impact on our results of operations;


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


•	the risk that if we are unable to manage our inventory effectively, our gross margins will be adversely affected;


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


•	the risk that we are subject to data or other security breaches that may result in increased costs, violations of law, significant legal and financial exposure, and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and our reputation;


•	the risk that a failure of, or updates or changes to, our information technology ("IT") systems may disrupt our operations;


•	the risks to our efforts to expand internationally, including our ability to operate in regions where we have less experience;


•	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;


•	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 our franchisees’ operation of franchise stores is not directly within our control and could impair the value of our brands;


•	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 foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely impact our financial results;


•	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 position or our business initiatives;


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


•	the risk that natural disasters, public health crises (similar to and including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), political crises, negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events could adversely affect our operations and financial results, or those of our franchisees or vendors;


•	the risk that reductions in income and cash flow from our credit card arrangement related to our private label and co-branded credit cards could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows;


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


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


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

Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, 2020, 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 February 1, 2020.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, have been prepared by The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). In the opinion of management, such statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 1, 2020 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, 2020.

The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 52-week period ending January 30, 2021.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As a result, we temporarily closed our North America retail stores and a significant number of our stores globally. In May 2020, we began to safely reopen our temporarily closed stores in accordance with local government guidelines. The Company also implemented several actions during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2020, to enhance our liquidity position such as completing the issuance of our Senior Secured Notes for $2.25 billion and entering into a third amended and restated senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility"), with an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $1.8675 billion. There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of August 1, 2020. See Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020, we also suspended share repurchases and dividends, and deferred the first quarter of fiscal 2020 dividend.

We suspended rent payments under the leases for our temporarily closed stores beginning in April 2020 and are now working through negotiations with our landlords relating to those leases. We considered the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") recent guidance regarding lease modifications as a result of the effects of COVID-19 and elected to apply the temporary practical expedient to account for lease changes as variable rent unless an amendment results in a substantial change in the Company's lease obligations. As of August 1, 2020, the impact of applying the temporary practical expedient was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In response to COVID-19, various governments worldwide have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, measures to provide relief to businesses negatively affected by the pandemic. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law in the United States. The CARES Act provides relief to U.S. corporations through financial assistance programs and modifications to certain payroll and income tax provisions. The Company is also considering certain beneficial provisions of the CARES Act, including the net operating loss carryback provision. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the estimated income tax impact of the CARES Act.

We continue to consider the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these quarterly financial statements including inventory valuation, lease accounting impacts, income taxes, and the impairment of long-lived store assets and operating lease assets. These assumptions and estimates may change as the current situation evolves or new events occur and additional information is obtained. If the economic conditions caused by COVID-19 worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

Restricted Cash

Any cash that is legally restricted from use is classified as restricted cash. If the purpose of restricted cash is related to acquiring a long-term asset, liquidating a long-term liability, or is otherwise unavailable for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date, the restricted cash is included within other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Otherwise, restricted cash is included within other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of August 1, 2020, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for certain obligations and fees occurring in the normal course of business and our insurance obligations. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract

In August 2018, the FASB issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The ASU is intended to align the requirements for capitalization of implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the existing guidance for internal-use software. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis on February 2, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

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, based on current information.

ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU is intended to enhance and simplify aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740 as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Revenue

The Company’s revenues include merchandise sales at stores, online, and through franchise agreements, as well as the newly introduced business-to-business ("B2B") program. We also receive revenue sharing from our credit card agreement for private label and co-branded credit cards, and breakage revenue related to our gift cards, credit vouchers, and outstanding loyalty points. Breakage revenue is recognized based upon historical redemption patterns. For online sales, the Company has elected to treat shipping and handling as fulfillment activities and not as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our single performance obligation related to online sales at the time control of the merchandise passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. We also record an allowance for estimated returns based on our historical return patterns and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. Revenues are presented net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Our credit card agreement provides for certain payments to be made to us, including a share of revenue from the performance of the credit card portfolios and reimbursements of loyalty program discounts. We have identified separate performance obligations related to our credit card agreement that include both providing a license and an obligation to redeem loyalty points issued under the loyalty rewards program. Our obligation to provide a license is satisfied when the subsequent sale or usage occurs and our obligation to redeem loyalty points is deferred until those loyalty points are redeemed. Income related to our credit card agreement is classified within net sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We also have franchise agreements with unaffiliated franchisees to operate Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy stores in a number of countries throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Under these agreements, third parties operate, or will operate, stores that sell apparel and related products under our brand names. We have identified separate performance obligations related to our franchise agreements that include both providing our franchise partners with a license and an obligation to supply franchise partners with our merchandise. Our obligation to provide a license is satisfied when the subsequent sale or usage occurs and our obligation to supply franchise partners with our merchandise is satisfied when control of the merchandise transfers. As of the quarter ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, there were no material contract liabilities related to our franchise agreements.

We defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards, credit vouchers, outstanding loyalty points, and reimbursements of loyalty program discounts associated with our credit card agreement. For the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2020, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $198 million, of which $63 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $226 million, of which $118 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $189 million as of August 1, 2020.

We expect that the majority of our revenue deferrals as of the quarter ended August 1, 2020, will be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months as our performance obligations are satisfied.

For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2019, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $206 million, of which $71 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2019, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $227 million, of which $134 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $195 million as of August 3, 2019.

Net sales disaggregated for stores and online sales for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019 was as follows:



	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	August 1, 2020		August 3, 2019		August 1, 2020		August 3, 2019
Store sales (1)	$	1,642	$	3,166	$	2,750	$	5,989
Online sales (2)	1,633		839		2,632		1,722
Total net sales	$	3,275	$	4,005	$	5,382	$	7,711

(1)	Store sales primarily include sales made at our Company-operated stores and franchise sales. Fiscal 2020 store sales were negatively impacted by COVID-19. See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.


(2)	Online sales primarily include sales made through our online channels including curbside pick-up, ship-from-store sales, buy online pick-up in store sales, and order-in-store sales. Additionally, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, sales from the B2B program are also included.

Note 3. Debt and Credit Facilities

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



($ in millions)	August 1, 2020			February 1, 2020		August 3, 2019
2021 Notes	$	—		$	1,249	$	1,249
2023 Notes	500			—		—
2025 Notes	750			—		—
2027 Notes	1,000			—		—
Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs	(38		)	—		—
Total long-term debt	$	2,212		$	1,249	$	1,249

On June 6, 2020, we redeemed our $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.95 percent notes due April 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). We incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $58 million, which primarily includes the make-whole premium, which was recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to redeeming our 2021 Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes was recorded in long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of the unamortized discount. Following the redemption, our obligations under the 2021 Notes were discharged.

On May 7, 2020, we completed the issuance of our Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes”), 2025 (“2025 Notes”), and 2027 (“2027 Notes”) (collectively, the “Notes”) in a private placement to qualified buyers and received gross proceeds of $2.25 billion. Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Company amended the existing unsecured revolving credit facility with the ABL Facility which is scheduled to expire in May 2023. We recorded approximately $61 million of debt issuance costs related to the Notes and ABL Facility within long-term debt and other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which will be amortized through interest expense over the life of the related instrument.
