| Athleta | (11)% | (8)% |
| Gap Inc. | 2% | 2% |

**Old Navy:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First quarter net sales of $2.0 billion were up 1% compared to last year. Comparable sales were up 1%. Old Navy continued to win in strategic categories, including denim, active, and kids and baby, while customer response to women's dresses was weaker.

**Gap:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First quarter net sales of $796 million were up 10% compared to last year. Comparable sales were up 10%. Gap continued to demonstrate culturally relevant storytelling that strengthened its presence in destination categories, including denim, fleece and kids and baby.

**Banana Republic:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First quarter net sales of $431 million were up 1% compared to last year. Comparable sales were up 2%. The brand delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales, with growth across men's and women's fueled by continued elevation in merchandising and storytelling.

**Athleta:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First quarter net sales of $270 million were down 12% compared to last year. Comparable sales were down 11%. The brand remains focused on rebuilding for the long term and launching a stronger, reimagined assortment in the second half of the year.

------

**<u>Fiscal 2026 Outlook</u>**

The Company's outlook reflects a balanced approach, factoring in favorability from updated tariff assumptions while also taking into consideration potential uncertainties in the operating environment over the balance of the year.

The current outlook assumes a 10 percent tariff rate under Section 122 for inventory received after February 24, 2026 through July 24, 2026, followed by a reversion for the remainder of the year to the IEEPA-level tariff rates reflected in the Company's prior outlook. This is expected to result in approximately $80 million of net tariff relief to gross profit and operating income, or approximately 50 basis points of benefit to gross margin and operating margin in fiscal 2026. The benefit is expected to be concentrated in the second and third fiscal quarters based on the timing of receipts. The Company is currently reserving the full estimated benefit to provide flexibility in managing the business through the remainder of the year, with approximately half intended to offset the potential impact of sustained elevation in fuel costs and the balance available to respond to potential changes in the promotional and competitive environment.

On a reported basis, the Company expects full year diluted earnings per share to be approximately $2.83 to $2.93, operating expense leverage, and operating margin expansion each including the impact of non-recurring items.

All fiscal 2026 outlook measures provided below exclude the net impact of non-recurring items.

**Market Share Information**

References to market share in this press release and related conference call and accompanying materials are for the US market, according to Circana data for the 12 month period ending April

<sup>1</sup> There were no adjusted metrics during fiscal 2025, therefore, reported amounts for operating expense as a percentage of net sales, operating margin, and diluted earnings per share are included for comparative purposes.

<sup>2</sup> Refers to company-operated stores.

------

2026, unless stated otherwise. Market share data is subject to limitations on the availability of up-to-date information. In particular, market share data may not be available for all retail channels in a category. The Company believes that the Circana data is reliable, but it has not verified the accuracy or completeness of the data or any assumptions underlying the data. In addition, market share information reported by the Company may be different from market share information reported by other companies due to differences in category definitions, the use of data from different vendors, internal estimates and other factors.

**Non-GAAP Disclosure** 

This press release and related conference call and accompanying materials include financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures described below are intended to provide investors with additional useful information about the Company's financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by management for financial and operating decision-making. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing its financial performance from management's view and because it believes they provide an additional tool for investors to use in computing the Company's core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in its industry. Additional information regarding the intended use of non-GAAP measures included in this press release and related conference call and accompanying materials is provided in the tables to this press release.

The non-GAAP measures included in this press release and related conference call and accompanying materials are free cash flow and certain adjusted statement of operations metrics, including: (i) adjusted operating expenses; (ii) adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of net sales; (iii) adjusted operating income; (iv) adjusted operating margin, (v) adjusted net income; (vi) adjusted income tax expense and (vii) adjusted earnings per share. Free cash flow and the adjusted statement of operations metrics exclude the impact of certain items. Reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the tables to this press release.

The non-GAAP measures used by the Company should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in items or events being adjusted. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in the tables to this press release below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2026, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**FREE CASH FLOW**

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe free cash flow is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash a company has available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. We require regular capital expenditures including technology investments as well as building and maintaining our stores and distribution centers. We use this metric internally, as we believe our sustained ability to generate free cash flow is an important driver of value creation. However, this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to supersede or replace our GAAP results.
