The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets asIn the opinion ofOctober 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirty-nine weeks endedOctober 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016 have been prepared by The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). In management, the opinion of management, such statements includeaccompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments)(except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of October 28, 2017April 29, 2023 and October 29, 2016April 30, 2022 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 28, 20172023 has been derived from our audited financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. We suggest that you read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.2023.
The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine13 weeks endedOctober 28, 2017 April 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 53-week period ending February 3, 2018.2024.

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, the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and distress in global credit and banking markets. 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, and the impairment of long-lived assets. If the global economic conditions worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Accounting Pronouncements
Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on itsour Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures, based on current information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Related to Revenue RecognitionASU No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In May 2014,September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU is intended to clarifyenhance the principlestransparency of recognizing revenuethe use of supplier finance programs by requiring that the buyers in those programs provide additional disclosures about the program’s nature and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. GAAPpotential magnitude, including a rollforward of the obligations and International Financial Reporting Standards.activity during the period. The ASU No. 2014-09, as amended, is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017.
While we do not expect2022, except for the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and related ASUs to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect the adoption to result in change in the timing of recognizing revenue for breakage income for gift cards, gift certificates, and credit vouchers, credit card reward points and certificate liability, as well as sales where we ship the merchandise to the customer from a distribution center or store. Additionally, under the new guidance, we expect to recognize allowances for estimated sales returns on a gross basis rather than net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We are currently evaluating the classification of income earned in connection with our private label and co-branded credit cards. We are also evaluating expanded disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
We will adopt these ASUs on a modified retrospective basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.


Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The ASUrollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018.2023. We are still assessing the impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements, but it will result in a substantial increase in our long-term assets and liabilities. We will adopt the ASU beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Wehave adopted the provisions of this ASU induring the first quarter13 weeks ended April 29, 2023. The ASU does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of fiscal 2017. Beginning insupplier finance program obligations. See Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our supply chain finance program.
Note 2. Revenue
Disaggregation of Net Sales
We disaggregate our net sales by channel and also by brand and region. Net sales by region are allocated based on the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we have made the policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures, when recognizing share-based compensation cost.

Note 3. Restructuring
On April 25, 2023, the Company's management committed to a restructuring plan (the "Plan") as part of the Company's previously announced efforts to simplify and optimize its operating model and structure. The Plan includes a reduction in workforce of approximately 1,800 employees, primarily in headquarters locations.
In connection with the Plan, the Company incurred $75 million in restructuring costs during the 13 weeks ended April 29, 2023 on a pre-tax basis. The costs incurred in connection with the Plan are as follows:

Additionally, excesseffective tax benefits related to share-based payment awards are now reflected in operating activities, along with other income tax related cash flows, in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a prospective basis.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminate the two-step goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We early adopted this ASUrate for the interim goodwill impairment test13 weeks ended April 29, 2023 compared with the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 is primarily due to changes in the first quarteramount and jurisdictional mix of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.pre-tax operations.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments are intended to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 primarily at the store level.
During the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017, weThere were no material impairment charges recorded a charge for the impairment of long-lived assets of $4 million, which reduced the then carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $5 million to their fair value of $1 million.

In May 2016, the Company announced measures to close its fleet of 53 Old Navy stores in Japan and select Banana Republic stores, primarily internationally. During the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016, we recorded charges for impairment of long-lived assets of $2 million related to the announced store closures, and an additional $31 million for long-lived assets that were unrelated toduring the announced measures. The impairment charges were recorded in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and reduced the then carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $34 million to their fair value of $1 million.

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 inon the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and as such, the fair values shown above represent gross amounts. The amounts subject to enforceable master netting arrangements are $8 million, $18 million, and $9 million as of October 28, 2017January 28, 2017, and October 29, 2016, respectively. If we did elect to offset, the net amounts of our derivative financial instruments in an asset position would be $23 million, $40 million, and $53 million and the net amounts of the derivative financial instruments in a liability position would be $12 million, $3 million, and $40 million as of October 28, 2017, January 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively.were not material for all periods presented.

Note 9. Income Taxes
The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and India. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2009, and with few exceptions, we are also no longer subject to U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2008.
The Company is in continual discussions with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in the various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in the normal course of business. As of October 28, 2017, it is reasonably possible that we will recognize a decrease in gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months of up to $6 million, primarily due to the closing of audits. If we do recognize such a decrease, the net impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income would not be material.

Note 11.10. Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases, trademarks, intellectual property, financial agreements, and various other agreements. Under these contracts, we may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (e.g., ownership of assets, environmental or tax indemnifications), or personal injury matters. The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated, and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.


As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims (“Actions”("Actions") arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of October 28, 2017,April 29, 2023, Actions filed against us included commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, securities, and data privacy claims, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some Actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages and some are covered in part by insurance. As of October 28, 2017April 29, 2023, January 28, 2017,2023, and October 29, 2016,April 30, 2022, we recorded a liability for an estimated loss if the outcome of an Action is expected to result in a loss that is considered probable and reasonably estimable. The liability recorded as of October 28, 2017January 28, 2017, and October 29, 2016was not material for any individual Action or in total.total for all periods presented. Subsequent to October 28, 2017April 29, 2023, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Accordingly, developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
Fire at the Fishkill Distribution Center
13
On August 29, 2016, a fire occurred in one of the buildings at a Company-owned distribution center campus in Fishkill, New York. The impacted building primarily held Gap and Banana Republic products for distribution to stores and fulfilled online orders for Gap and Old Navy in the Northeast region of the United States.

The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance coverage. Based on the provisions of the Company’s insurance policies, the Company recorded insurance recoveries based on the determination that recovery of certain fire-related costs is probable. During fiscal 2016, the Company incurred a total of $133 million in certain fire-related costs. In January of fiscal 2016, the Company agreed upon a partial settlement of $159 million related to the loss on inventory and recorded a gain of $73 million, representing the excess over the loss on inventory, which was recorded in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. During fiscal 2016, the Company received $174 million of insurance proceeds. As a result, the insurance receivable balance was $32 million as of January 28, 2017 and was recorded in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.


During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, the Company incurred immaterial costs and $15 million, respectively, in certain fire-related costs for which the Company recorded insurance recoveries based on the determination that recovery of these fire-related costs is probable. In June 2017, the Company also agreed upon a partial settlement and recorded a gain of $64 million, primarily related to property and equipment, representing the excess over the loss on fire-related recoverable costs, which was recorded in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Company received $29 million and $131 million of insurance proceeds during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, respectively. Included in the $29 million was $20 million in insurance proceeds related to business interruption, which were recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The remaining $9 million and $111 million of insurance proceeds received during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to the insurance receivable balance. As a result, the insurance proceeds received in excess of expected recoveries was less than $1 million as of October 28, 2017.

We will continue to incur additional logistics costs related to the disruption to our North American supply chain network. As settlements are reached, any recoveries related to business interruption insurance will be recognized as a reduction to cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, we allocated $60 million of insurance proceeds to the loss on property and equipment based on the partial settlement of claims reported as insurance proceeds related to loss on property and equipment, a component of cash flows from investing activities, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Note 12. 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, 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 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon divestiture was not material for the 13 weeks ended April 29, 2023. The Gap Taiwan operations will continue to operate as usual until regulatory approvals and closing conditions are met.

Note 13. Supply Chain Finance Program
Our voluntary supply chain finance ("SCF") program provides certain suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between our suppliers and the financial institutions and our payment terms are not impacted by whether a supplier participates in the SCF program.
We may agree to side letters with participating financial institutions related to the SCF program that require us to transfer a certain amount of cash to be used as collateral for our payment obligations in a specified period.

Our primary uses of cash include merchandise inventory purchases, lease and occupancy costs, personnel-related expenses, purchases of property and equipment, shipping costs, and payment of taxes. In addition, we may have dividend payments, debt repayments, and share repurchases. As of October 28, 2017, cash and cash equivalents were $1.4 billion, the majority of which was held in the United States and is generally accessible without any limitations.
We believe that current cash balances and cash flows from our operations will be sufficient to support our business operations, including growth initiatives and planned capital expenditures, for the next 12 months and beyond. We are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary,typically follows a seasonal pattern, with our $500 million revolving credit facility or other available market instruments.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activitiessales peaking during the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 decreased $200 million compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2016, primarily due to the following:
Net income
an increase of $187 million in net income.
Non-cash items
a decrease of $72 million related to store asset impairment charges during the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2016 primarily due to restructuring activities in fiscal 2016.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities
a decrease of $239 million related to accounts payable primarily due to the timing of lease payments and other non-merchandise payables;
a decrease of $123 million related to merchandise inventory primarily due to the volume and timing of receipts; and
a decrease of $56 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities in part due to the timing of severance payments as a result of fiscal 2016 restructuring activities; partially offset by
an increase of $108 million related to income taxes payable, net of prepaid and other tax-related items, primarily due to an increase in taxable income during the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2016 as well as the timing of tax payments.
Weend-of-year holiday period, we fund inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through cash flows from operating activities and available cash. Our business follows a seasonal pattern, with sales peaking during the end-of-year holiday period. The seasonality of our operations, in addition to the impact of global economic conditions such as the uncertainty surrounding global inflationary pressures, the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and distress in global credit and banking markets, may lead to significant fluctuations in certain asset and liability accounts as well as cash inflows and outflows between fiscal year-end and subsequent interim periods.

Our voluntary SCF program provides certain suppliers with the opportunity to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreements between our suppliers and the financial institutions and our payment terms are not impacted by whether a supplier participates in the SCF program. See Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for disclosures on the Company's SCF program.

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

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $15 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $362 million of net cash used for operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to the following:
    Net Loss
a net loss of $18 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with a net loss of $162 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022;
Changes in operating assets and liabilities
an increase of $249 million related to merchandise inventory primarily due to lower inventory levels in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2022;
an increase of $234 million related to accounts payable primarily due to the timing of payments for inventory during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2022; and
an increase of $214 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities primarily due to lower bonus payment during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2022; partially offset by
a decrease of $418 million related to income taxes payable, net of receivables and other tax-related items, primarily due to receipt of tax refunds during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 related to fiscal 2020 net operating loss carryback claims.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $30 million during the first three quartersquarter of fiscal 2017 increased $22 million2023 compared with $105 million of net cash provided by investing activities during the first three quartersquarter of fiscal 2016,2022, primarily due to the following:
$80 million more in property and equipment purchases including purchases related to the rebuilding of the Company’s Fishkill, New York distribution center campus; offset by
$6076 million in insurancenet proceeds allocated to loss onfrom the sale of a building during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $333 million in net proceeds from the sale of a building during the first quarter of fiscal 2022; partially offset by
$111 million less purchases of property and equipment during the first three quartersquarter of fiscal 2017 related to the Fishkill fire2023 compared with no insurance proceeds allocated during the first three quartersquarter of fiscal 2016.2022.

$300350 million in proceeds received from borrowing under the ABL Facility during the first quarter of cash used forfiscal 2022; partially offset by
$54 million in repurchases of common stock during the first three quartersquarter of fiscal 20172022 compared with no repurchases of common stock duringin the first three quartersquarter of fiscal 2016; and
$67 million related to the repayment of the Japan Term Loan in full in June 2017.

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 as weexpenditures. We require regular capital expenditures to buildincluding technology improvements as well as building and maintainmaintaining our stores and purchase new equipment to improve our business.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. Free cash flow for the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 is further adjusted for insurance proceeds allocated to loss on property and equipment, as our cash used for purchases of property and equipment for the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 includes certain capital expenditures related to the rebuilding of the Company-owned distribution center which was impacted by the Fishkill fire.
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.
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 incomeoperations in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our financial results.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors.
Item 1A.Risk Factors.
The following risk factors appearing in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 have been updated.
Risks Related to Strategic Transactions and Investments
We may engage in or seek to engage in strategic transactions, such as acquisitions, divestitures and other dispositions, or adjust or restructure our business, all of which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which could disrupt or adversely affect our business.
We may engage in or seek to engage in strategic transactions, such as acquisitions, divestitures or other dispositions, which we may not be able to complete on anticipated terms or time frames or at all, or which may not generate some or all of the strategic, financial, operational or other benefits we expect to realize from such transactions on such anticipated time frames or at all. In addition, these transactions may be complex in nature, and unanticipated developments or changes, including changes in law, the macroeconomic environment, market conditions, the retail industry or political conditions may affect our ability to complete such transactions. In addition, the process of completing these transactions may be time-consuming and involve considerable costs and expenses, which may be significantly higher than what we anticipate and may not yield a benefit if the transactions are not completed successfully. Executing these transactions may require significant time and attention from our senior management and employees, which could disrupt our ongoing business and adversely affect our results of operations. We may also experience increased difficulties in attracting, retaining and motivating employees and/or attracting and retaining customers during the pendency or following the completion of any of these transactions, which could harm our business.
In 2021, we reached agreements to transfer our European business to a franchise model, and in 2022 we reached agreements to transition our Mexico and Greater China businesses to a franchise model. In 2021, we also divested our Janie and Jack and Intermix brands and acquired two technology companies. We incurred costs and expenses in connection with these transactions and may incur such costs and expenses in connection with future strategic reviews, which may require significant attention from our senior management and employees. Executing any transactions resulting from future strategic reviews will be time-consuming, will involve additional costs and expenses, which may be significant, and may result in difficulties attracting, retaining and motivating employees, which could harm our business and adversely affect our results of operations.
We have also adjusted and may further adjust our business strategies to meet changes in our business environment. For example, in 2022, we began taking steps to drive long-term improvements across our business, which include reducing open and existing corporate roles, renegotiating our advertising agency contracts, reducing technology operating costs, and rationalizing digital investments. In March 2023, we shared plans to further simplify and optimize our operating model and structure, including actions such as increasing spans of control and decreasing management layers to improve quality and speed of decision making, as well as creating a consistent organizational structure across all four brands. In connection with those actions, in April 2023, we announced a restructuring plan that includes a reduction of the Company's workforce primarily in headquarters locations. Our ability to achieve the intended benefits and projected cost savings from these actions are subject to many estimates and assumptions. For example, costs associated with these actions could be higher than anticipated, and savings associated with these actions could be lower than anticipated. In addition, these actions may impact our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, may be distracting to our senior management and employees, and may negatively impact our business operations and reputation. These actions are also subject to execution risk and may not generate the intended benefits and projected cost savings to the extent or on the timeline as expected, and our new organizational structure and strategies could be less successful than our previous organizational structure and strategies.
24


Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and Credit Profile
Changes in our credit profile or deterioration in market conditions may limit our access to the capital markets and adversely impact our business and financial condition.
We currently have a corporate credit rating of BB with a negative outlook from Standard & Poor's. In March 2023, Moody's downgraded our corporate credit rating from Ba2 to Ba3 with a negative outlook and downgraded the rating of our Senior Notes from Ba3 to B1 with a negative outlook. These reductions and any future reduction in our credit ratings could result in reduced access to the credit and capital markets, more restrictive covenants in future financing documents and higher interest costs, and potentially increased lease or hedging costs. In addition, market conditions such as increased volatility or disruption in the credit markets could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing or refinance existing debt on terms that would be acceptable to us.
There have been no other material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.2023.

Item 2.     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
