GAP INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2018 RESULTS

Company outlines plans to restructure specialty fleet and revitalize Gap brand health

SAN FRANCISCO - February 28, 2019 -Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS) today reported fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018 results, announced plans to restructure the Gap brand specialty fleet and revitalize brand health, and provided guidance for fiscal year 2019.

Today the company also announced plans to separate into two publicly traded companies: Old Navy, and a yet-to-be-named company (“NewCo”), which will consist of the iconic Gap brand, Athleta, Banana Republic, Intermix and Hill City. Details of the separation were disclosed in a separate press release.

“We’re pleased that progress on our productivity goals and operational discipline allowed us to deliver our earnings per share guidance even in the face of macro headwinds and softer trends,” said Art Peck, president and chief executive officer, Gap Inc. “As we look ahead to 2019 and beyond, we know what we need to do to win and, combined with the separation we announced today, we will be well positioned to leverage the power of our brands and the talented teams that lead them to accelerate the pace of change, improve execution and deliver profitable growth.”

Specialty Fleet Restructuring and Gap Brand Revitalization

Fleet Restructuring:

The company announced a plan today to restructure the specialty fleet, including the closure of about 230 Gap specialty stores over the next two years.

The company estimates an annualized sales loss of approximately $625 million as a result of these store closures. Additionally, the company estimates pre-tax costs associated with these actions to be about $250 million to $300 million, with the majority expected to be cash expenditures. The company estimates that these actions will result in annualized pretax savings of about $90 million.

The remaining specialty fleet will serve as a more appropriate foundation for future growth of the brand across the specialty, outlet and online channels. There will be a healthier channel mix after the restructuring, with nearly 40% of sales coming from online, and the remainder split fairly evenly between the specialty and value channels.

Brand Revitalization:

While stores are an important part of the customer journey, the Company is actively working on multiple initiatives to revitalize the Gap brand by re-engaging with customers and expanding its loyal customer base, leveraging the multigenerational, democratic appeal of the brand. Improving the product by recapturing the traditional Gap attributes of style, quality, fit and value is a top priority. The company intends to modernize its marketing model to efficiently build engagement and loyalty.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2018 Results

The company reported fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 diluted earnings per share of $0.72 compared with fourth quarter fiscal year 2017 reported diluted earnings per share of $0.52, or $0.61 on an adjusted basis.

Please see the reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, from the GAAP financial measure in the tables at the end of this press release.

The company reported fiscal year 2018 diluted earnings per share of $2.59, compared with fiscal year 2017 reported diluted earnings per share of $2.14, or $2.13 on an adjusted basis.

The company noted that foreign currency fluctuations positively impacted earnings per share for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018 by an estimated $0.01 and $0.04, respectively.¹ 

Comparable Sales Results

Due to the 53^rd week in fiscal 2017, comparable sales for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018 are compared with the 13-week and 52-week periods ended February 3, 2018. On this basis, the company’s fourth quarter comparable sales were down 1% compared with a 5% increase last year. Comparable sales by global brand for the fourth quarter were as follows:

• Old Navy Global: flat versus positive 9% last year

• Gap Global: negative 5% versus flat last year

• Banana Republic Global: negative 1% versus positive 1% last year

• Banana Republic Global: positive 1% versus negative 2% last year

Recent Accounting Pronouncement - Revenue Recognition

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the company adopted the new revenue recognition standard, ASC 606. The adoption of this standard has a significant impact on the presentation of certain line items within the Consolidated Statements of Income, but does not have a significant impact to operating income, net income or earnings per share. The most significant presentation changes are the reclassifications from operating expenses to net sales for revenue sharing associated with the company’s credit card programs and breakage income for our gift cards, as well as reclassifications from cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses to net sales for reimbursements of loyalty program discounts associated with the company’s credit card programs.

The company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, on a modified retrospective basis. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the presentation changes resulted in an increase of $170 million to net sales, an increase of $47 million to cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses, and an increase of $123

¹In estimating the earnings per share impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, the

company estimates current gross margins using the appropriate prior year rates (including the impact of

merchandise-related hedges), translates current period foreign earnings at prior year rates, and excludes

the year-over-year earnings impact of balance sheet remeasurement and gains or losses from non-merchandise-related foreign currency hedges. This is done in order to enhance the visibility of business results excluding the direct impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

million to operating expenses. For fiscal year 2018, the presentation changes resulted in an increase of $619 million to net sales, an increase of $176 million to cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses, and an increase of $443 million to operating expenses. Other changes resulting from the adoption did not have a material impact on the company’s operating income, net income, or earnings per share for either the fourth quarter or fiscal year 2018.

In accordance with the company’s adoption of the standard on a modified retrospective basis, financial information prior to fiscal 2018 will not be recast. The summary below provides financial measures with and without the presentation changes for revenue sharing and reimbursements of loyalty program discounts associated with the company’s credit card programs and breakage income for our gift cards.

Additional Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2018 Results

• The company noted that fiscal year 2018 had 52 weeks compared with 53 weeks in fiscal year 2017. As a result, fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018 results were negatively impacted by the loss of the 53^rd week. For fiscal 2018, the loss of the 53^rd week was a detriment of approximately $0.06 to diluted earnings per share.

• Fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 net sales were $4.6 billion and fiscal year 2018 net sales were $16.6 billion. Excluding the presentation changes from the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, fourth quarter 2018 net sales decreased 7% compared with last year and fiscal year 2018 net sales increased 1% compared with last year.

◦ The translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars negatively impacted the company’s net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 by about $28 million and positively impacted the company’s net sales for fiscal year 2018 by about $17 million.²Fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018 net sales details appear in the tables at the end of this press release.

• Fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 gross profit was $1.65 billion, a decrease of 6% compared with last year. Excluding the impact of presentation changes from the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, gross profit decreased about 13% compared with last year.

• Fiscal year 2018 gross profit was $6.32 billion, an increase of 4% compared with last year. Excluding the impact of presentation changes from the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, gross profit decreased about 3% compared with last year.

• Fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 gross margin was 35.6%, a decrease of 120 basis points compared with last year. Excluding the impact of presentation changes from the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 gross margin was 34.2%, a decrease of 260 basis points compared with last year, largely driven by elevated promotional activity at Old Navy and Gap brand.

• Fiscal year 2018 gross margin was 38.1%, a decrease of 20 basis points compared with last year. Excluding the impact of presentation changes from the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, fiscal year 2018 gross margin was 36.8%, a decrease of 150 basis points compared with last year.

• Fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 operating margin was 8.0%, a decrease of 30 basis points compared with last year. Excluding the impact of presentation changes from the adoption of the new revenue

recognition standard, fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 operating margin was 8.4%, an increase of 10 basis points compared with last year.

• Fiscal year 2018 operating margin was 8.2%, a decrease of 110 basis points compared with operating margin of 9.3% last year.

Please see the reconciliation of adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, from the GAAP financial measure in the tables at the end of this press release.

• The effective tax rate was 24.4% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. The company finalized its provisional amounts related to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, with no material impacts.

• The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2018 was 24.1%. The effective tax rate reflects the benefits of the enactment of TCJA, as well as certain adjustments to the liability for the one-time transition tax enacted as part of the TCJA in fiscal year 2017, partially offset by increases to liabilities recorded in connection with examinations by taxing authorities.

• During the quarter, the company repurchased 3.8 million shares for $98 million. For fiscal year 2018, the Company repurchased 13.8 million shares for $398 million and ended fiscal year 2018 with 378 million shares outstanding. Underscoring Gap Inc.’s continued commitment to distributing cash to shareholders, on February 26, 2019, the company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization for the company’s common stock, superseding the company’s existing authorization dated February 25, 2016.

• The company paid a dividend of $0.2425 per share during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, an increase of over 5% compared with last year. In addition, on February 26, 2019, the company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a first quarter dividend of $0.2425 per share.

Please see the reconciliation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, from the GAAP financial measure in the tables at the end of this press release.

Fiscal year 2018 capital expenditures were $705 million.

The company ended fiscal year 2018 with 3,666 store locations in 43 countries, of which 3,194 were company-operated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement - Leases

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the company will adopt ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated statement of income, but it will result in a substantial gross-up on the company’s consolidated balance sheet to recognize a lease liability and right of use asset for leases. The company will apply the standard prospectively with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

2019 Outlook

Earnings per Share

For fiscal year 2019, the company expects reported diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.11 to $2.26.

Effective Tax Rate

For fiscal 2019, the company expects the effective tax rate to be about 26%. The effective tax rate may be materially impacted as additional guidance related to TCJA is issued by the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service.

Share Repurchases

Capital Expenditures

The company expects fiscal 2019 capital spending to be approximately $750 million, including about $100 million of expansion costs related to a headquarters building and a buildout of its Ohio distribution center.

The company expects a net cash outflow of about $100 to $150 million related to these real estate transactions.

Real Estate

The company expects to close about 50 company-operated stores, net of openings and repositions in fiscal year 2019. This guidance includes about 130 closures related to the Gap brand fleet restructuring announced today, the majority of which are expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The company expects store openings to be focused on Old Navy and Athleta locations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

UNAUDITED

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, net of insurance proceeds related to loss on property and equipment, as we require regular capital expenditures to build and maintain stores and purchase new equipment to improve our business. 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.
