THE GAP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated balance sheets as of July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994, and the interim consolidated statements of earnings for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994 and the interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994, and for all periods presented, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted from these interim financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 1995. The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending February 3, 1996. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 financial statements to conform to classifications used in 1995. 2. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION Year-to-date 1995 and 1994 gross interest payments were $1.0 million and $6.7 million respectively; income tax payments were $76.3 million and $118.9 million respectively. Deloitte & 2101 Webster Street Telephone:(510)287-2700 Touche LLP Oakland, California 946-12-3027 Facsimile:(510)835-4888 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Gap, Inc. We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Gap, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994 and the related consolidated statements of earnings for the thirteen week and twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994 and of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Gap, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 28, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 2, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of January 28, 1995 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it was derived. /S/ Deloitte & Touche LLP August 9, 1995 Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Sales Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-six Weeks Ended July 29, 1995 July 30, 1994 July 29, 1995 July 30, 1994 Net Sales 868,5141 773,131 1,717,202 1,524,801 ($000) Total net sales growth percentage 12 12 13 14 Comparable store sales growth percentage <4> 1 <3> 4 Net sales per average square foot 88 96 178 193 Fifty-two Weeks Ended July 29, 1995 July 30, 1994 Number of New Stores 195 129 Expanded Stores 62 127 Closed Stores 39 53 The increases in second quarter and year-to-date 1995 net sales over the same periods last year were attributable to the opening of new stores (net of stores closed) and the expansion of existing stores, partially offset by decreases in comparable store sales. The decreases in comparable store sales were primarily attributable to negative comparable store sales in the Gap division. The declines in second quarter and year-to-date net sales per average square foot from the same periods last year were primarily attributable to an increase in the average size of new stores in connection with the Company's store expansion program, negative comparable store sales, and continued store growth in the Old Navy division with lower priced merchandise and significantly larger stores. The Company expects the challenging retail sales environment experienced during the first half of 1995 to continue into the third quarter of 1995. For the four week period ended August 26, 1995, net sales increased 12 percent over the same period last year, as compared to a 6 percent increase in net sales for the four week period ended August 27, 1994 over the prior year. Comparable store sales decreased 6 percent for the four weeks ended August 26, 1995 as compared with a 5 percent decrease in August 1994. Cost of Goods Sold and Occupancy Expenses Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 70.1 percent for the second quarter of 1995 from 65.7 percent for the same period in 1994. The resulting 4.4 percentage point decrease in gross margin net of occupancy expenses was attributable to a 3.7 percentage point decrease in merchandise margins as a percentage of net sales and a .7 percentage point increase in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales. For the first half of 1995, cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 68.6 percent from 63.6 percent for the same period in 1994. The resulting 5.0 percentage point decrease in gross margin net of occupancy expenses was attributable to a 4.2 percentage point decrease in merchandise margins as a percentage of net sales and a .8 percentage point increase in occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales. For the second quarter and first half of 1995, decreases in merchandise margins as a percentage of net sales were driven by a decline in initial merchandise margins. During the second quarter more goods were sold at regular price than a year ago, although the margin achieved on those markdown sales was meaningfully lower. Entering the third quarter of 1995, inventory on hand is at a lower initial merchandise margin than inventory on hand last year. The Company expects overall merchandise margins to be lower in the second half of 1995 compared to the levels achieved in the second half of 1994. The Company reviews its inventory levels in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments (items no longer in stock in a sufficient range of sizes) and uses markdowns to clear merchandise. During the first half of 1995, these markdowns did have an adverse impact on earnings and may do so in future quarters depending upon the extent of the markdowns and amount of inventory affected. For the second quarter and first half of 1995, occupancy expenses increased as a percentage of net sales when compared to the same periods last year. The increases in occupancy expenses were primarily attributable to a lack of sales leverage resulting from negative comparable store sales. Operating Expenses Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 24.2 percent for the second quarter of 1995 from 24.9 percent for the same period in 1994. For the first half of 1995 operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 24.0 percent from 24.8 percent for the same period in 1994. The .7 percentage point decrease for the second quarter and the .8 percentage point decrease for the first half of 1995 were primarily attributable to a decrease in incentive bonus expense as a percentage of net sales. Due to the company's performance, no incentive bonus expense was recognized in the first half of 1995. Net Interest Income Net interest income was approximately $4.4 million for the second quarter and $9.3 million for the first half of 1995 compared to net interest income of $394,000 and $1.7 million for the same periods in 1994. The increase was attributable to reductions in interest expense resulting from the June 1994 repayment of $75 million of long-term debt and the payment of $1.7 million of additional interest expense associated with the early repayment of long- term debt. Increases in income from higher average interest rates also contributed to the change. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate was 39.5 percent for the first half of both 1994 and 1995. The Company does not anticipate any change in the effective tax rate of 39.5 percent for the remainder of 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The following sets forth certain measures of the Company's liquidity: Twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 1995 July 30, 1994 Cash (used for) provided by operating activities ($000) $ (3,404) $ 85,723 Working capital ($000) $558,901 $458,400 Current ratio 2.23:1 2.05:1 For the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 1995, the decrease in cash flows from operating activities was attributable to an increased investment in inventory to support the Old Navy and International divisions, the timing of certain fiscal 1994 year-end payables, and the decrease in net earnings. The Company's overall cash and liquidity position continues to be strong. The Company funds inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through a combination of cash flows provided by operating activities and normal trade credit arrangements. The Company's business follows a seasonal pattern, peaking over a total of about ten weeks during the late summer and holiday periods. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 1995, capital expenditures, net of construction allowances and dispositions, totalled approximately $136 million. These expenditures included the addition of 94 new stores, the expansion of 29 stores and the remodeling of certain stores resulting in a net increase in store space of approximately 873,000 square feet or 10 percent since January 28, 1995. For fiscal year 1995, the Company expects capital expenditures to total approximately $275 to $300 million, net of construction allowances, representing the addition of approximately 175 to 200 new stores, the expansion of approximately 50 to 70 stores, and the remodeling of certain stores. Square footage growth is expected to be approximately 20 percent after accounting for store closings. New stores are generally expected to be leased. Planned expenditures also include amounts for administrative facilities, distribution centers and equipment. The Company expects to fund such capital expenditures with cash flow from operations. The Company continues to explore alternatives for headquarters facilities in San Francisco and San Bruno, California. The Company plans to construct a distribution center in Gallatin,Tennessee for a total cost of approximately $45 to $55 million. The facility is expected to be in operation in late 1996. The Company has a credit agreement which provides for a $250 million revolving credit facility until March 1998. In addition, the credit agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to $425 million at any one time. The Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $402 million at July 29, 1995. Under a program announced in October 1994 to repurchase up to 9 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, the Company acquired 1,268,300 shares during the first quarter of 1995 for $41,978,000. Included in this transaction was the purchase of 250,000 shares from a senior executive of the Company for $8,438,000. No shares were acquired during the second quarter of 1995. To date, 2,741,800 shares have been repurchased for $90,238,000. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
