FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than those that are purely historical are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:
the potential impact of global economic conditions on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;
the impact of recent accounting pronouncements;
the timing of revenue recognition of upfront payments related to our 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 social and environmental sustainability into business practices to support long-term growth;
the expected impact of the Pillar Two rules on our fiscal 2024 effective tax rate and ongoing monitoring of related legislative action;
our ability to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our ABL Facility or other available market instruments;
the impact of the seasonality of our operations on certain cash inflows and outflows;
the ability of our cash flows from our operations, current balances of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, the Senior Notes and the ABL Facility, and other available market instruments to support our business operations and liquidity requirements;
the importance of our sustained ability to generate free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined and discussed in more detail in 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, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts and upcoming elections in the United States, and impacts on consumer spending patterns;
social and political unrest in our sourcing countries, including Bangladesh, and disruptions to global trade and shipping capacity, including in the Red Sea;
the highly competitive nature of our business in the United States and internationally;
the risk that we fail to maintain, enhance, and protect our brand image and reputation;
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 may be unable to manage our inventory effectively and the resulting impact on our gross margins and sales;
the risk of loss or theft of assets, including inventory shortage;
the risk that we fail to manage key executive succession and retention or continue to attract qualified personnel;



reductions in income and cash flow from our credit card arrangement related to our private label and co-branded credit cards;
the risk that trade matters could increase the cost or reduce the supply of apparel available to us;
the risks to our business, including our costs and global supply chain, associated with global sourcing and manufacturing;
the risks to our reputation or operations associated with importing merchandise from foreign countries, including failure of our vendors to adhere to our Code of Vendor Conduct;
the risk that our investments in customer, digital, and omni-channel shopping initiatives may not deliver the results we anticipate;
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;
evolving regulations and expectations with respect to ESG matters, including climate reporting;
engaging in or seeking to engage in strategic transactions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties;
the risk that changes in our business strategy or restructuring our operations may not generate the intended benefits or projected cost savings;
the risk that our efforts to expand internationally may not be successful;
the risk that our franchisees and licensees could impair the value of our brands;
the risk that our comparable sales and margins may experience fluctuations, that we may fail to meet financial market expectations, or that the seasonality of our business may experience fluctuations;
the risk of data or other security breaches or vulnerabilities that may result in increased costs, violations of law, significant legal and financial exposure, and a loss of confidence in our security measures;
the risk that failures of, or updates or changes to, our IT systems may disrupt our operations;
the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
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 changes in our credit profile or deterioration in market conditions may limit our access to the capital markets;
the adverse effects of climate change on our operations and those of our franchisees, vendors, and other business partners;
natural disasters, public health crises (such as pandemics and epidemics), political crises (such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts), 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 our estimates and assumptions used when preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are inaccurate or may change;
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;
the risk that changes in our business structure, our performance or our industry could result in reductions in our pre-tax income or utilization of existing tax carryforwards in future periods, and require additional deferred tax valuation allowances; 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 3, 2024 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 30, 2024. 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 3, 2024.

THE GAP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”) management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 3, 2024 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 3, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions such as the uncertainty regarding global inflationary pressures, acts of terrorism or war, global credit and banking markets, and the geopolitical landscape including new legislation and upcoming elections. We will continue to consider the impact of the global economic conditions on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements including inventory valuation, income taxes and valuation allowances, sales return and bad debt allowances, deferred revenue, and the impairment of long-lived assets. If the global economic conditions change beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.
Restricted Cash
As of August 3, 2024, February 3, 2024, and July 29, 2023, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for our insurance obligations and certain other obligations occurring in the normal course of business. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
($ in millions)August 3,

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, per Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows$1,929 $1,901 $1,378 
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.
Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted
ASU No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency of the use of supplier finance programs by requiring additional disclosures about the program’s nature and potential magnitude, including a rollforward of the obligations and activity during the period. The ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The ASU does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. We adopted the required guidance on January 29, 2023. See Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our supply chain finance program.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact that this ASU will have on the Company's disclosures.
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.
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:

(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 discounts associated with our credit card agreement. For the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $310 million, of which $116 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $337 million, of which $181 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $280 million as of August 3, 2024.
For the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $334 million, of which $120 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $354 million, of which $191 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $327 million as of July 29, 2023.
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 30.4 percent for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024, compared with negative 8.3 percent for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 compared with the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023 is primarily due to tax benefits recognized in the prior year from a U.S. transfer pricing settlement related to our sourcing activities, changes in valuation allowances in the prior year, current year increases to certain income tax reserves, and changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings.
The effective income tax rate was 27.8 percent for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, compared with negative 12.5 percent for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 compared with the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 is primarily due to tax benefits recognized in the prior year from a U.S. transfer pricing settlement related to our sourcing activities, changes in valuation allowances in the prior year, current year increases to certain income tax reserves, and changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by a favorable impact from stock-based compensation.

(1)Includes an option to redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part at any time, subject to a make-whole premium, prior to October 1, 2024. On or after October 1, 2024, includes an option to redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part at any time, at stated redemption prices.
(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 August 3, 2024, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $1.29 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. The ABL Facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes.
There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of August 3, 2024 or February 3, 2024. As of July 29, 2023, the Company's outstanding borrowing under the ABL Facility was $150 million and was recorded in long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We also have the ability to issue letters of credit on our ABL Facility. As of August 3, 2024, 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 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.

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 placed primarily in debt securities which are recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets and time deposits which are recorded at amortized cost. 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 Sheet. These 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 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 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 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.
We review the carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
There were no impairment charges recorded for goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.
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.

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.

Note 7. Share Repurchases
In February 2019, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization (the "February 2019 repurchase program"). There were no shares repurchased, excluding shares withheld to settle employee tax withholding payments related to the vesting of stock units, during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. The February 2019 repurchase program had $476 million remaining as of August 3, 2024. All common stock repurchased is immediately retired.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases, trademarks, intellectual property, financial agreements, and various other agreements. Under these contracts, we may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (e.g., ownership of assets, environmental or tax indemnifications), or personal injury matters. The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated, and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims ("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of August 3, 2024, 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 August 3, 2024, February 3, 2024, and July 29, 2023, 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 August 3, 2024, 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.
13


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 August 3, 2024, 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. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment as of August 3, 2024. We continually monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments.
See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disaggregation of revenue by channel and by brand and region.
Note 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 impact upon divestiture was not material to our results of operations for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023. 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 $412 million, $373 million, and $390 million as of August 3, 2024, February 3, 2024, and July 29, 2023, respectively, and were included in accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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")
Fiscal 2024 consists of 52 weeks versus 53 weeks in fiscal 2023. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023, in order to maintain consistency, Comp Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and the first half of fiscal 2024 are compared to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 5, 2023.
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 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:

Net Sales
Our net sales increased $172 million, or 5 percent, during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023, driven primarily by an increase in Comp Sales at Old Navy Global and incremental income related to the revenue sharing arrangement from our credit card agreement for the quarter. Our net sales increased $284 million, or 4 percent, during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared with the first half of fiscal 2023, driven primarily by an increase in Comp Sales.

Operating expenses increased $31 million, but decreased 1.0 percentage points as a percentage of net sales during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared with the first half of fiscal 2023, due to an increase in net sales as well as the following:

Effective tax rate30.4 %(8.3)%27.8 %(12.5)%
The increase in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023 is primarily due to tax benefits recognized in the prior year from a U.S. transfer pricing settlement related to our sourcing activities, changes in valuation allowances in the prior year, current year increases to certain income tax reserves, and changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2024 compared with the first half of fiscal 2023 is primarily due to tax benefits recognized in the prior year from a U.S. transfer pricing settlement related to our sourcing activities, changes in valuation allowances in the prior year, current year increases to certain income tax reserves, and changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by a favorable impact from stock-based compensation.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") has introduced a new global minimum corporate tax of 15%, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. The rules, as they currently stand, did not have a material impact on the effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 or for the first half of fiscal 2024 and are not expected to have a material impact on our fiscal 2024 effective tax rate. We will continue to monitor U.S. and global legislative action related to Pillar Two for potential impacts.
19


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, our Senior Notes, and our ABL Facility. As of August 3, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.90 billion and short-term investments of $246 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 have issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, and are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our ABL Facility or other available market instruments. There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of August 3, 2024. See Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on the Senior Notes and ABL Facility.
Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from the sale of our merchandise. Our primary uses of cash include merchandise inventory purchases, lease and occupancy costs, personnel-related expenses, purchases of property and equipment, shipping costs, and payment of taxes. The seasonality of our operations may lead to fluctuations in certain cash inflows and outflows between fiscal year-end and subsequent interim periods.
Our voluntary SCF program provides certain suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between our suppliers and the financial institutions and our payment terms are not impacted by whether a supplier participates in the SCF program. See Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on the Company's SCF program.
We believe our existing balances of cash, 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, and other liquidity requirements associated with our business operations over the next 12 months and beyond.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $51 million during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared with the first half of fiscal 2023, primarily due to the following:
    Net Income
an increase in net income;
Non-cash items

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities increased $313 million during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared with the first half of fiscal 2023, primarily due to the following:
$243 million of net purchases of short-term investments during the first half of fiscal 2024; and

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities decreased $185 million during the first half of fiscal 2024 compared with the first half of fiscal 2023, primarily due to $200 million for repayments of ABL Facility borrowings during the first half of fiscal 2023.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe free cash flow is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash a company has available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. We require regular capital expenditures including technology improvements as well as building and maintaining our stores and distribution centers. We use this metric internally, as we believe our sustained ability to generate free cash flow is an important driver of value creation. However, this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to supersede or replace our GAAP results.
The following table reconciles free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, from a GAAP financial measure.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.
As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims ("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Actions filed against us from time to time include commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, securities, and data privacy claims, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some Actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages, and some are covered in part by insurance.
We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Accordingly, developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and impact operations in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our financial results.

3



corporation or partnership would no longer qualify as a Permitted Transferee, all shares of Class B Stock then held by such corporation or partnership shall, upon the election of this corporation given by written notice of such corporation nor partnership, without further act on anyone’s part, be converted into shares of Common Stock effective upon the date of the giving of such notice, and stock certificates formerly representing such shares of Class B Stock shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to represent the like number of shares of Common Stock; and

(b)    Each joint owner of shares of Class B Stock shall be considered a “Class B Holder” of such shares.

(v)    If at any time the number of outstanding shares of Class B Stock as reflected on the stock transfer books of this corporation falls below 12.5% of the total outstanding voting shares of this corporation, the outstanding shares of Class B Stock shall automatically be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Class B Stock shall thereupon and thereafter represent the like number of shares of Common Stock.

5

Notwithstanding the foregoing, trusts may transfer shares into “nominee” name. For this purpose, a “beneficial owner” of any shares of Class B Stock shall mean a person who, or an entity which, possesses the power, either singly or jointly, to direct the voting or disposition of such shares. This corporation shall note on the certificates for shares of Class B Stock the restrictions on transfer and registration of transfer imposed by this Paragraph D.

E.Conversion Rights.

(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph E, each share of Class B Stock shall be convertible at any time or from time to time, at the option of the respective holder thereof, at the office of any transfer agent for Common Stock, and at such other place or places, if any, as the Board of Directors may designate, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. In order to convert Class B Stock into Common Stock, the holder thereof shall (a) surrender the certificate or certificates for such Class B Stock at the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above), which certificate or certificates, if this corporation shall so request, shall be duly endorsed to this corporation or in black or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to this corporation (such endorsements or instruments of transfer to be in form satisfactory to this corporation), and (b) give written notice to this corporation that such holder elects to convert said Class B Stock, which notice shall state the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued. This corporation will issue and deliver at the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above) to the person for whose account such Class B Stock was so surrendered, or to his nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which holder shall be entitled as soon as practicable after such deposit of a certificate or certificates of Class B Stock, accompanied by the requisite written notice. Such conversion shall be deemed to have made as of the date of such surrender of the Class B Stock to be converted; and the persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Class B Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on such date.

(ii)    The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class B Stock shall be made without charge for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any such certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the share of shares of Class B Stock converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to this corporation the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of this corporation that such tax has been paid or is not required to be paid.

(iii)    This corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares.

Incorporation for such purposes, in such amounts, to such persons, corporations, or entities, for such consideration, and in the case of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, all as the Board of Directors in its discretion may determine and without any vote or other action by the shareholders, except as otherwise required by law.

Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that a lesser percentage may be specified, by law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.

(b)    the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Announcement Date.

(ii)The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value (as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination) of consideration other than cash to be received per share by holders of shares of any class or series of outstanding Voting Stock other than Common Stock or Class B Stock shall be at least equal to the highest of the following (it being intended that the requirements of this paragraph B(ii) shall be required to be met with respect to every class or series of outstanding Voting Stock, whether or not the Interested Stockholder has previously acquired any shares of a particular class or series of Voting Stock);

(a)    (if applicable) the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees) paid by the Interested Stockholder for any shares of such class or series of Voting Stock acquired by it within the two-year period immediately prior to and including the Announcement Date;

If the Interested Stockholder has paid for shares of any class or series of Voting Stock with varying forms of consideration, the form of consideration for such class or series of Voting Stock shall be either cash or the form used to acquire the largest number of shares of such class or series of Voting Stock previously acquired by it. The price determined in accordance with paragraphs B(i) and (ii) of this Section 3 shall be subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares of similar event

(v)After a person becomes an Interested Stockholder and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination: (a) except as approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors, there shall have been no failure to declare and pay at the regular date
12



therefor any full quarterly dividends (whether or not cumulative) on any outstanding stock having preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation; (b) there shall have been (1) no reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Stock (except as necessary to reflect any subdivision of the Common Stock), except as approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors, and (2) an increase in such annual rate of dividends as necessary to reflect any reclassification (including any reverse stock split), recapitalization, reorganization or any similar transaction which has the effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, unless the failure so to increase such annual rate is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors; and (c) such Interested Stockholder shall have not become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock except as part of the transaction which results in such Interested Stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder.

(vi)After a person becomes an Interested Stockholder, such Interested Stockholder shall not have received the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by this corporation (unless the arrangement conferring such benefit was entered into prior to the time such person became an Interested Stockholder), whether in anticipation of or in connection with such Business Combination or otherwise.

(vii)A proxy or information statement describing the proposed Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any subsequent provisions replacing such Act, rules or regulations) shall be mailed to public stockholders of this corporation at least 30 days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such Act or subsequent provisions).

Section 4.    Powers of the Board of Directors.

A majority of the Disinterested Directors shall have the power and duty to determine for the purposes of this Article SEVENTH, on the basis of the information known to them after reasonable inquiry, (A) whether a person is an Interested Stockholder, (B) the number of shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by any person, (C) whether a person is an Affiliate or Associate of another, and (D) whether the assets which are the subject of any Business Combination have, or the consideration to be received for the issuance or transfer of securities by this corporation or any Subsidiary in any Business Combination has, an aggregate value equal to 5% or more of the book value of this corporation determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A majority of the Disinterested Directors shall the further power to interpret all of the terms and provisions of this Article SEVENTH.

Section 5.    No Effect of Fiduciary Obligations of Interested Stockholders.

Nothing contained in this Article SEVENTH shall be construed to relieve any Interested Stockholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.

Section 6.    Amendment, Repeal, etc.
13

EIGHTH:    Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware as the by-laws may provide.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies [Text Block] Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”) management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 3, 2024 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 3, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions such as the uncertainty regarding global inflationary pressures, acts of terrorism or war, global credit and banking markets, and the geopolitical landscape including new legislation and upcoming elections. We will continue to consider the impact of the global economic conditions on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements including inventory valuation, income taxes and valuation allowances, sales return and bad debt allowances, deferred revenue, and the impairment of long-lived assets. If the global economic conditions change beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.
Restricted Cash
As of August 3, 2024, February 3, 2024, and July 29, 2023, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for our insurance obligations and certain other obligations occurring in the normal course of business. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

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.
Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted
ASU No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency of the use of supplier finance programs by requiring additional disclosures about the program’s nature and potential magnitude, including a rollforward of the obligations and activity during the period. The ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The ASU does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. We adopted the required guidance on January 29, 2023. See Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our supply chain finance program.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact that this ASU will have on the Company's disclosures.
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.

Income Taxes Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 30.4 percent for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024, compared with negative 8.3 percent for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 compared with the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023 is primarily due to tax benefits recognized in the prior year from a U.S. transfer pricing settlement related to our sourcing activities, changes in valuation allowances in the prior year, current year increases to certain income tax reserves, and changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings.
The effective income tax rate was 27.8 percent for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, compared with negative 12.5 percent for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 compared with the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 is primarily due to tax benefits recognized in the prior year from a U.S. transfer pricing settlement related to our sourcing activities, changes in valuation allowances in the prior year, current year increases to certain income tax reserves, and changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings, partially offset by a favorable impact from stock-based compensation.

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 August 3, 2024, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $1.29 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. The ABL Facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes.
There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of August 3, 2024 or February 3, 2024. As of July 29, 2023, the Company's outstanding borrowing under the ABL Facility was $150 million and was recorded in long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 placed primarily in debt securities which are recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets and time deposits which are recorded at amortized cost. 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 Sheet. These 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 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 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 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.
We review the carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
There were no impairment charges recorded for goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023.

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

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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases, trademarks, intellectual property, financial agreements, and various other agreements. Under these contracts, we may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (e.g., ownership of assets, environmental or tax indemnifications), or personal injury matters. The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated, and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims ("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of August 3, 2024, 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 August 3, 2024, February 3, 2024, and July 29, 2023, 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 August 3, 2024, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of August 3, 2024, 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. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment as of August 3, 2024. 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.

On January 31, 2023, the Gap China transaction closed with Baozun. The impact upon divestiture was not material to our results of operations for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023. The Gap Taiwan operations will continue to operate as usual until regulatory approvals and closing conditions are met.

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.
