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 (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 30, 202129, 2022 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 30, 2021.29, 2022.
The results of operations for the thirteen13 weeks ended May 1, 2021April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 52-week period ending January 29, 2022.28, 2023.
COVID-19Use 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.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Fiscal 2020 results were significantly impacted as we temporarily closed our North America retail stores and a large number of our stores globally. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy.
During the thirteensecond half of fiscal 2021, global supply chain disruption, including increased port congestion and COVID-related factory closures, caused significant product delays resulting in brands being unable to fully meet customer demand. During the 13 weeks ending May 1, 2021, thereended April 30, 2022, we continued to be residual impacts fromencounter global supply chain disruptions and store closures in certain international markets and in our supply chain as a result of COVID-19. markets.
We will continue to consider the impact of the global supply chain disruptions and the COVID-19 pandemic on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these quarterlyCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements including inventory valuation, income taxes, and the impairment of long-lived store assets and operating lease assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If the 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 statements.position.
Restricted Cash
As of May 1, 2021,April 30, 2022, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for certain obligations occurring in the normal course of business and our insurance obligations.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") provided guidance on accounting for rent concessions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We considered the FASB's guidance regarding lease modifications as a result of the effects of COVID-19 and elected to apply the temporary practical expedient to account for lease changes as variable rent unless an amendment results in a substantial change in the Company's lease obligations. The impact of applying the temporary practical expedient was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the thirteen weeks ending May 1, 2021.
ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU is intended to enhance and simplify aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 31, 2021 on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
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.

We have highly liquid fixed and variable income investments classified as cash equivalents. With the exception of our available-for-sale investments noted below, we value these investments at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate. Our investments in cash equivalents are placed primarily in time deposits, money market funds, and debt securities.deposits.

Our available-for-sale securities are comprised of investments in debt securities and are recorded in both short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheet. These securities are recorded at fair value using market prices. As of April 30, 2022 and January 29, 2022, the Company held no available-for-sale debt securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021, and May 2, 2020, the Company held $475 million $410 million, and $51 million, respectively, of available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates greater than three months and less than two years within short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheet. In addition, as of May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021, and May 2, 2020, the Company held $25 million $90 million and $1 million, respectively, of available-for-sale debt securities with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase within cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities included within accumulated other comprehensive income were not material as of May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020.2021.
The Company regularly reviews itsany available-for-sale debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For the thirteen13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, or May 2, 2020, the Company did not consider any of its securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired and, accordingly, did not recognize any impairment loss.
Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is determined using pricing models based on current market rates. 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.
During the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021, the Company recorded impairment of operating lease assets of $5 million. The impairment of the operating lease assets reduced the carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $15 million to their fair value of $10 million. The impairment charges were recorded in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. There were no material impairment charges recorded for store long-lived assets during the thirteen13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021.
During fiscal 2020, the impact of COVID-19 resulted in a qualitative indication of impairment related to our store long-lived assets. For store locations, we analyzed our store asset recoverability. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company recorded impairment of store assets of $124 million and impairment of operating lease assets of $360 million. The impairment of the store assets reduced the carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $127 million to their fair value of $3 million. The impairment of the operating lease assets reduced the carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $1,358 million to their fair value of $998 million. The impairment charges were recorded in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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 0no impairment charges recorded for goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets for the thirteen13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 1, 2021 or May 2, 2020.2021.

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, British pound, Japanese yen, Euro, Mexican peso, New Taiwan dollar, Euro, and Chinese yuan. 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.

12


Cash Flow Hedges
We designate the following foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges: (1) forward contracts used to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs denominated in U.S. dollars made by our international subsidiaries whose functional currencies are their local currencies; and (2) forward contracts used to hedge forecasted intercompany revenue transactions related to merchandise sold from our regional purchasing entity, whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, to certain international subsidiaries in their local currencies. The foreign exchange forward contracts entered into to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs and intercompany revenue transactions generally have terms of up12 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 (loss) 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.

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.
12


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 May 1, 2021,April 30, 2022, 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 April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022, and May 1, 2021, January 30, 2021, and May 2, 2020, we recorded a liability for an estimated loss if the outcome of an Action is expected to result in a loss that is considered probable and reasonably estimable. The liability recorded was not material for any individual Action or in total for all periods presented. Subsequent to May 1, 2021,April 30, 2022, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
Note 10. Segment Information
We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of May 1, 2021,April 30, 2022, our operating segments included: Old Navy Global, Gap Global, Banana Republic Global, and Athleta.Athleta Global. Each operating segment has a brand president who is responsible for various geographies and channels. Each of our brands serves customer demand through well-located stores and digital advantaged online channels, 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 1 reportable segment as of May 1, 2021.April 30, 2022. 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 for stores and online and by brand and region.
Note 11. Divestitures
As partOn February 1, 2022, we completed the transition of our Gap Italy operations to a strategic reviewthird party, OVS S.p.A. ("OVS"), to operate Gap Italy stores as a franchise partner.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OUR BUSINESS
We are a collection of purpose-led, lifestyle brands offering apparel, accessories, and personal care products for men, women, and children under the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands. We have Company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Japan, Italy, China, Taiwan, and Mexico. Our products are available to customers online through Company-owned websites and through the use of third parties that provide logistics and fulfillment services. We also have franchise agreements with unaffiliated franchisees to operate Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Athleta throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Under these agreements, third parties operate, or will operate, stores and websites that sell apparel and related products under our brand names. In addition to operating in the specialty, outlet, online, and franchise channels, we use our omni-channel capabilities to bridge the digital world and physical stores to further enhance our shopping experience for our customers. Our omni-channel services, including curbside pick-up, buy online pick-up in store, order-in-store, find-in-store, and ship-from-store, as well as enhanced mobile-enabled experiences, are tailored uniquely across our collection of brands. Most of the products sold under our brand names are designed by us and manufactured by independent sources.
OVERVIEW
During fiscal 2020, we unveiled our Power Plan 2023 strategy, which reflects long-term plans to grow and strengthen the Company. Since then, we have focused on our key initiatives, including growing Old Navy and Athleta, repositioning and transforming Gap and Banana Republic, growing our online business, expanding into new categories such as inclusive sizing, and scaling strategic partnerships such as our recently announced venture into the Home market through the launch of Gap Home at Walmart.com, to amplify the reach of our brands to customers across product categories, markets, and channels.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As a result, we temporarily closed a large number of our stores globally during the first quarter of fiscal 2020; however, we innovated ways to safely serve customer demand through leveraging our omni-fulfillment capabilities, including curbside pick-up and ship-from-store. We re-opened the majority of our stores that were temporarily closed by the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2020. OurFinancial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 are as follows:
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 13 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Online sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 17 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021 reflectand store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 10 percent compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.10 billion compared with $1.63 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 31.5 percent compared with 40.8 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(197) million compared with operating income of $240 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 25.0 percent compared with 11.2 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(162) million compared with net income of $166 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Diluted loss per share was $(0.44) for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.43 for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, our quarterly results were negatively impacted primarily by the continued domestic recovery fromglobal supply chain disruption, as well as product assortment and acceptance issues in key categories, largely at Old Navy, related to the effectspost-COVID lifestyle consumer shift into occasion and work-based categories compared to the active and casual category preference last year. The quarterly results were also impacted by execution missteps in size and assortment at Old Navy related to BODEQUALITY, our extended size initiative launched in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Global supply chain disruptions continued to affect our quarterly results due to difficulty managing the COVID-19 pandemictiming of seasonal inventory flows, and an ongoing shift in focus from store salesinability to online sales, however, there continuedquickly react to be impacts from store closures in international markets and in our supply chain. Pandemic-related costs and increased shipping costs incurred to meet customer demand for our growing online business were offset by fixed cost savings gained through strategic store closures aschanging consumer preferences. As a result, inventory levels are higher with an increase in extended-life basics and select seasonal basics being stored at distribution centers for expected introduction into the market in the second half of fiscal 2022and first half of fiscal 2023.
While we navigate these temporary headwinds, we remain focused on our fleet rationalization initiatives. Additionally, product acceptance from our customers has improved in response to our investments in demand generation resulting in improved product margins.
In line withkey initiatives for our Power Plan 2023,strategy. Each of our purpose-led, lifestyle brands are finding new and relevant ways to expand customer reach. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we have expanded Banana Republic into new lifestyle categories through the launch of BR Baby and BR Athletics, debuted new product collaborations for Athleta and Gap, and expanded our international franchise presence.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we completed our European partnership transition of our Gap Italy operations to OVS who will operate Gap Italy stores as a franchise partner. In addition, in March 2022, the first Gap branded shop-in-shop opened in the United Kingdom as a part of the Company's joint venture with Next Plc ("Next"). The joint venture is planning to launch additional shop-in-shops in the United Kingdom throughout 2022 and is preparing to migrate Gap’s United Kingdom and Ireland e-commerce business to the Next Total Platform. In addition to these changes to our European operating model, we are in the process of seeking regulatory approvals to transition our Old Navy Mexico operations to a franchise partner. We believe these transformations of our business model will streamline our operations by using strong local partnerships to grow our brands and amplify our reach.
The Company shared its strategic focuscontinues to reduce the number of Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America by approximately 350 stores from the beginning of fiscal 2020 to the end of fiscal 2023. The majority of the select stores being considered have leases that expired in fiscal 2020 or will expire in fiscal 2021 which allows us to exit underperforming stores with a minimal net impact to our Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of May 1, 2021,April 30, 2022, we have closed, net of openings, 195259 Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America since the beginning of fiscal 2020.
The Company also expects substantial cash lease buyout amounts relating to a small population of stores we intend to close across multiple brands; however, we expect these buyouts to have a minimal net impact to our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company executed store buyout agreements. The net impact of these buyouts was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As a result of COVID-19, we suspended rent payments for our temporarily closed stores. We are continuing to work through negotiations with our landlords relating to those leases. The rent abatement benefit was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
We are continuing our previously shared strategic review of our operating model in Europe. We remain focused on continuing to serve our customers in Europe with asset-light partnerships such as franchise or online. While no decisions have been made, our strategic plans could result in significant costs to the Company including charges related to leases and inventory, and employee-related costs. We are targeting to finalize our plans in fiscal 2021.
On March 19, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Janie and Jack brand and on April 30, 2021, entered into an agreement to sell the Intermix brand. We closed the sale of Janie and Jack in April 2021 and the sale of Intermix closed on May 21, 2021. We believe these divestitures will allow the Company to prioritize its strategic focus and resources on growing our four purpose-led, lifestyle brands. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $56 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 in conjunction with these transactions. See Note 11 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for further information.

As part of our Power Plan 2023, the Company isWe remain focused on enhancing its rewards program to attract new customers and create enduring relationships to turn its customers into lifelong loyalists. In April 2021, the Company entered into new long-term credit card program agreements with Barclays and Mastercard. Barclays will become the exclusive issuer of Gap Inc.’s co-branded and private label credit card programfollowing strategic priorities in the U.S. beginningnear term:
driving improved sales at Old Navy through assortment improvements and a balanced and relevant category mix;

leveraging our scale to navigate disruptions and constraints in May 2022. In addition,global supply chain;
managing inventory to support a healthy merchandise margin;
rationalizing the Gap Inc. and Barclays will issue the co-branded credit cards on the Mastercard payment network. Accordingly, our previous private label credit card program with Synchrony Financial will be discontinued in April 2022.Banana Republic store fleet;
Our business priorities for fiscal 2021 are as follows:prioritizing asset-light growth through licensing, online, and franchise partnerships globally;
creating product that offers value to our customers through a combination of fit, quality, brand and price;
investing in our four purpose-led lifestyle brands to drive relevance and gain market share;
growing our online business;
attracting and retaining strong talent in our businesses and functions;
reducing our fixed cost structure to fuel demand generation investments;

managing inventory to support a healthy merchandise margin;
rationalizing the Gap and Banana Republic brands;
prioritizing asset-light growth through licensing, online, and franchise partnerships globally; and
continuing to integrate social and environmental sustainability into business practices to support long-term growth.
We believe focusing on these priorities in the near term will propel the Company to execute against theits Power Plan 2023 strategy, including leveraging:
The Power of its Brands, reflected by the Company’s four purpose-led, lifestyle brands,brands: Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta;
The Power of its Portfolio, which enables growth synergies across key customer categories; and
The Power of its Platform, which leverages the Company’s powerful platform to both enable growth, such as through competitive omni-channel capabilities, as well as cost synergies, fueled by its scaled operations.
We continue to monitor the evolving pandemic situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state, and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for net sales disaggregation.
Comparable Sales ("Comp Sales")
Comp Sales include the results of Company-operated stores and sales through online channels. The calculation of Gap Inc. Comp Sales excludes the results of our franchise business. Gap Inc. Comp Sales included the results of Janie and Jack and Intermix until the divestitures of those brands in fiscal 2021.
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.
For the thirteen13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, any stores temporarily closed for more than three days as a result of the COVID-19 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020pandemic were excluded from the Comp Sales calculations. After temporarily closed stores reopened, subsequent sales were included in the Comp/Non-comp status they were in prior to temporary closure. Online sales continued to be included in the Comp Sales calculation for each period.
As a result of the extensive temporary store closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Comp Sales are not a meaningful metric for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020. The Comp Sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021 reflect continued recovery from the pandemic.
The percentage change in Comp Sales by global brand and for The Gap, Inc. for, as compared with the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021preceding year, is as follows:

We believe our capital structure provides sufficient liquidity and our cash flows from our operations, along with current cash balances, and the instruments mentioned above will be sufficient to support As our business operations for the next twelve months.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities

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 typically follows a seasonal pattern, with sales peaking during the end-of-year holiday period. The seasonality of our operations, in addition to the residual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and strategic initiatives,global supply chain disruption, 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.

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 including technology improvements to buildautomate processes, engage with customers, and maintain storesoptimize our supply chain in addition to building and purchase new equipment to improve our business and infrastructure.maintaining stores. 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.
