Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

**Part I**

**Item 1. Business.**

**General** 

The Gap, Inc. (Gap Inc., the "Company," "we," and "our") is a house of iconic American brands offering apparel, accessories, and personal care products for men, women, and children under the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands.

Gap Inc. is an omni-channel retailer, with sales to customers both in stores and online, through Company-operated and franchise stores, websites, and third-party arrangements. As of January 31, 2026, we had Company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Taiwan. We also have franchise agreements to operate Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, 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. We also have licensing agreements with licensees to sell products using 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. The shopping experience is further enhanced by our omni-channel services, including buy online pick-up in store, order-in-store, and ship-from-store, as well as enhanced mobile-enabled experiences, which allow our customers to shop seamlessly across our brands and channels. Our brands have shared investments in supply chain and information technology, which allows us to optimize efficiency and responsiveness in our operations.

**Old Navy.** Old Navy is a North American value apparel brand that makes on-trend fashion accessible to everyone. The brand offers playful style with a combination of on-trend product, consistent quality, and great value. Old Navy opened its first store in 1994 in Colma, California and since then has expanded to more than 1,200 Company-operated stores including outlet locations, online, and additional franchise retail locations around the world.

**Gap.** Gap is a globally recognized icon of casual American style. Founded in San Francisco in 1969, Gap champions originality by creating loved essentials and delivering culturally-relevant experiences that celebrate individuality. Gap is an apparel and accessories brand that also offers GapKids, babyGap, Gap Maternity, GapBody, and GapFit collections, as well as limited-edition collections with GapStudio and with partner brands. The brand also serves value-conscious customers with exclusively designed collections for Gap Outlet and Gap Factory Stores. Gap is our namesake brand and connects with customers online and in Company-operated stores, as well as franchise retail locations globally.

**Banana Republic.** Banana Republic is a storyteller's brand, outfitting the modern explorer with high-quality, expertly crafted collections and experiences to inspire and enrich their journeys. Founded in 1978 and acquired by Gap Inc. in 1983, the brand connects with customers online and in Company-operated Banana Republic and Banana Republic Factory stores, as well as franchise retail locations globally.

**Athleta.** Athleta is a premium performance lifestyle brand with a mission to inspire women and girls to build confidence, strength, and belonging through movement – igniting the Power of She. Founded in 1998 and acquired by Gap Inc. in 2008, Athleta is certified as a benefit corporation ("B Corp") that bridges product innovation with style for women and girls. Athleta products are available at Company-operated stores across the U.S. and Canada, franchise retail locations globally, and online.

We ended fiscal 2025 with 2,474 Company-operated stores and approximately 1,000 franchise store locations. For more information on the number of stores by brand and region, see the table included in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this Form 10-K.

------

Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta each have a private label credit card program and a co-branded credit card program through which customers receive benefits. Private label and co-branded credit cards are provided by a third-party financing company, with associated revenue sharing arrangements reflected in Gap Inc. operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we rebranded our integrated loyalty program across the U.S. as Encore, which is designed to deepen customer engagement with our brands. We are focused on increasing the lifetime value of our loyalty members through greater personalization, including leveraging first-party data to deliver targeted content, offers, and experiences. Although each brand expression has a different look and feel, customers can earn and redeem rewards across all of our brands. All of our brands also issue and redeem gift cards.

**Product Development**

We design, develop, market, and sell a wide range of apparel, accessories, and personal care products reflecting a mix of basics and fashion items based on widely accepted fashion trends, striving to bring product to market quickly and provide unrivaled value to customers. We are committed to pursuing technology and product innovation that supports our sustainability efforts while also delivering great quality products to our customers. We are evolving our product-to-market capabilities through greater digital enablement and the use of customer and market insights to enhance product relevance and speed to market. Our product teams research, test, and iterate each season to deliver the latest styles in fabrics and silhouettes that are made to last while remaining conscious of the types of materials being sourced and the suppliers they work with. We also leverage feedback and purchasing data from our customer database to guide our product and merchandising decision making. For additional information on risks related to product development, see the section entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Competition, Brand Relevance, and Brand Execution—We must successfully gauge apparel trends and changing consumer preferences to succeed" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

**Marketing and Advertising**

We use a variety of marketing and advertising mediums to drive brand health, customer acquisition, and engagement. We leverage our customer database and respond to shopping behaviors and needs with personalized content across email, site, and digital media to drive relevance and urgency. Our diversified media mix spans traditional to digital to social media. We support our marketing efforts through partnerships to build engagement and relevance. We focus on productivity of demand generation investments to drive increased effectiveness. For additional information on risks related to our marketing efforts, see the section entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Competition, Brand Relevance, and Brand Execution—We must successfully implement our marketing efforts" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

------

**Merchandise Vendors**

We purchase private label and non-private label merchandise from approximately 200 vendors. Our vendors have factories in about 30 countries. Our two largest vendors accounted for approximately 9 percent and 8 percent of the dollar amount of our total fiscal 2025 purchases. Substantially all of our merchandise purchases during fiscal 2025, by dollar value, were from factories outside North America. Approximately 27 percent of our fiscal 2025 purchases, by dollar value, were from factories in Vietnam. Approximately 21 percent of our fiscal 2025 purchases, by dollar value, were from factories in Indonesia. Product cost increases or events causing disruption of imports from Vietnam, Indonesia, or other foreign countries, including the imposition of additional import restrictions, tariffs, or taxes, or vendors temporarily closing or potentially failing due to political, financial, or regulatory issues, could have an adverse effect on our operations. For example, higher tariff rates imposed by the United States increased cost of goods sold during fiscal 2025. Substantially all of our foreign purchases of merchandise are negotiated and paid for in U.S. dollars. For additional information on risks related to our merchandise vendors, see the below sections in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions—Trade matters, including the imposition of tariffs by the United States, have had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on our business,"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—Our business is subject to risks associated with global sourcing and manufacturing,"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—Our business could be adversely affected by natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events,"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Financial Risks—Our business is exposed to the risks of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and our hedging strategies may not be effective in mitigating those risks," and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Risks—Our vendors' failure to adhere to our Code of Vendor Conduct could harm our business."

**Seasonal Business and other Macroeconomic Conditions**

Our business typically follows a seasonal pattern, with sales peaking during the end-of-year holiday period. Additionally, other macroeconomic conditions such as uncertainty surrounding global geopolitical instability, inflationary pressures, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in interest rates, duties, tariffs, tax laws, and other restrictions as a result of government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies, have had and may continue to have an impact on customer behavior that could result in temporary changes in the seasonality of our business. For additional information on risks related to macroeconomic conditions, see the section entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions—Our business is impacted by global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

**Brand Building**

Our ability to develop and evolve our existing brands is a key to our success. We believe our distinct brands are among our most important assets. Virtually all aspects of brand development, from product design and distribution to marketing, merchandising, and shopping environments, are controlled by Gap Inc. employees. We continue to invest in our business and enhance the customer experience through ongoing supply chain, digital, marketing, and omni-channel initiatives, which include artificial intelligence ("AI") tools designed to create a seamless and personalized environment and our fashion and entertainment platform focused on enhancing brand engagement. For additional information on risks related to building our brands, see the section entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Strategic Initiatives and Investments—Our investments in customer, digital, AI, omni-channel, and other strategic initiatives may not deliver the results we anticipate" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

**Trademarks and Service Marks**

We own the material trademarks used in connection with the marketing, distribution, and sale of our products, domestically and internationally, where our products are currently sold or manufactured. Our major trademarks include the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta trademarks and service marks, and certain other trademarks and service marks. We have obtained and continue to maintain registrations for these marks in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, China, and numerous other countries throughout the world. In addition, we own domain names for our primary trademarks and numerous copyright registrations. We intend to continue to strategically register, both domestically and internationally, trademarks, domain names, and copyrights that we utilize today and those we may develop in the future. We will continue to aggressively police our intellectual property and pursue those who infringe our intellectual property rights, both domestically and internationally. We believe the distinctive trademarks we use in connection with our products are important in building our brand image and distinguishing our products from those of others.

**Franchise and Licensing**

We have franchise agreements to operate Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta in about 35 countries around the world. Under these agreements, third parties operate, or will operate, stores and websites that sell apparel and related products under our brand names. We also have licensing agreements with licensees to sell products using our brand names.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Strategic Initiatives and Investments—Our efforts to expand internationally may not be successful."

**Inventory**

The nature of the retail business requires us to carry a significant amount of inventory, especially prior to the peak holiday selling season when we, along with other retailers, generally build up inventory levels. We maintain a large part of our inventory in distribution centers. We review our inventory levels in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments (items no longer in stock in a sufficient range of sizes or colors) and we primarily use markdowns to clear merchandise. For additional information on risks related to our inventory, see the below sections in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Competition, Brand Relevance, and Brand Execution—We must successfully gauge apparel trends and changing consumer preferences to succeed,"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—We must effectively manage our inventory and fulfillment operations,"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—We must protect our inventory from loss and theft," and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—Our business could be adversely affected by natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events"

**Competitors**

The global apparel retail industry is highly competitive. We compete with local, national, and global apparel retailers. For additional information on risks related to competition, see the section entitled "Risk Factors—"Risks Related to Competition, Brand Relevance, and Brand Execution—Our business is highly competitive" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

**Human Capital** 

As of January 31, 2026, we had a global workforce of approximately 79,000 employees. We also hire seasonal employees, primarily during the peak holiday selling season. As of January 31, 2026, approximately 84 percent of employees worked in retail locations, approximately 8 percent of employees worked in distribution centers, and approximately 8 percent of employees worked in headquarters locations. In addition, as of that date, approximately 82 percent of employees were located in the U.S. and approximately 18 percent of employees were located outside of the U.S., with a majority of those non-U.S. based employees located in Canada and Japan.

The talent and capabilities of our people are essential to our business strategy and execution. As such, we have implemented strategies to attract, develop, and retain skilled employees in our design, merchandising, supply chain, marketing, technology, and other functions, as well as in our stores and distribution centers. These strategies are designed to develop our talent; create a culture of inclusion and belonging for our employees; ensure fair and competitive pay; engage and solicit feedback from employees; and support employee health, well-being, and safety.

<u>Talent Development.</u> We provide resources, experiences, and support to expand our employees' skills and shape their careers. Our Let's Grow career development framework is designed to fuel career growth and empower our employees to thrive. This framework is built around three key pillars - Let's Grow Ourselves, Let's Grow Our Teams, and Let's Grow Each Other - which are focused on developing great employees, managers, and mentors. Each pillar has a set of curated self-learning courses that employees are invited to leverage. Throughout the year, we host Career Spotlights to celebrate our leaders' career journeys and provide insights, inspiration, and practical advice to our employees. All full-time U.S. and Canadian employees who have completed one year of employment also qualify for an annual tuition reimbursement benefit.

<u>Inclusion and Belonging.</u> We believe it is important to foster a workplace where our employees feel valued, respected, and equipped to reach their full potential; have a strong sense of belonging and connection to our company; and are able to bring their authentic selves to work. As such, we aim to promote a culture of inclusion and belonging for our employees and develop leaders who can express, model, and promote inclusive behaviors. We also offer opportunities for our employees to celebrate culture throughout the year through heritage month events and our Employee Resource Groups.

<u>Pay Equity.</u> We are committed to ensuring pay equity within our company. We continue to conduct annual internal pay equity reviews to help ensure that our pay practices are fair and competitive.

<u>Engagement and Feedback.</u> We engage regularly with employees through various means including internal communications and education about business initiatives, along with regular town hall meetings with management across our business and brands. We value receiving feedback and use opinion surveys to understand what is important to our employees. Survey results are evaluated and shared with employees and used to inform ongoing programs and strategies, identify opportunities to enhance the employee experience, and guide management focus and attention.

<u>Health, Well-being, and Safety.</u> We prioritize our employees' health, well-being, and safety and provide an array of benefits to help our employees be at their best to optimize their professional and personal lives. We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package for our full-time non-seasonal employees which are tailored to the geographies where we operate. Part-time and seasonal employees have access to many of the same resources. Our store and distribution center employees are trained on safe work practices and learn procedural knowledge through on-the-job training programs that are aligned to industry and occupational health and safety standards. Dedicated teams analyze risks and collaborate with operational leaders to understand and adjust business practices to align with emerging trends. Annually, our Internal Audit team gauges procedural compliance at our stores and distribution centers.

------

<u>Human Capital Management Oversight.</u> Our Board of Directors (the "Board") through its Compensation and Management Development Committee oversees human capital management issues. The Compensation and Management Development Committee has formal oversight over the Company's policies and strategies relating to its human capital management function, including policies, processes, and strategies relating to employee recruitment, retention, appraisal, and development; talent management; workplace culture and employee engagement; workforce inclusion and belonging, and any risks or goals related thereto; and the Company's general approach to broad-based compensation, benefits, workplace, and employment practices, as outlined in its charter. The Compensation and Management Development Committee receives reports on talent management, succession planning, and inclusion and belonging, and periodically engages on compensation program design for employees at all levels.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

Our past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance because actual future results and trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties discussed below and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K and "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Part II, Item 7A of this Form 10-K. In addition, historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The occurrence of any of the following risks or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In such case, the market price of our common stock could decline.

**<u>Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions</u>**

***Our business is impacted by global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending.***

Our business is affected by global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending worldwide. Global economic conditions have impacted, and could continue to impact, our business. Some of the factors that may influence consumer spending patterns include higher unemployment levels; extreme weather conditions and natural disasters; higher consumer debt levels; inflationary pressures; recession or fear of recession; global geopolitical instability (including ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine as well as the United States, Israel, and Iran); reductions in net worth based on market declines and uncertainty; home foreclosures and reductions in home values; fluctuating interest and foreign currency exchange rates and credit availability; government austerity measures; changes and uncertainties related to government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies including changes in interest rates, duties, tariffs, tax laws, and other restrictions; fluctuating fuel and other energy costs; fluctuating commodity prices; pandemics and other health crises; and reduced consumer confidence and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment. Historically, consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our merchandise, generally decline during recessionary periods when disposable income is lower or during other periods of economic instability or uncertainty.

Deteriorating economic conditions or geopolitical instability in any of the regions in which we or our franchisees sell our products could reduce consumer confidence and negatively impact consumer spending and thereby could adversely affect our business. In challenging and uncertain economic environments, we cannot predict whether or when such circumstances may improve or worsen, or what impact, if any, such circumstances could have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, or on the price of our common stock.

***Trade matters, including the imposition of tariffs by the United States, have had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on our business.***

Our operations are subject to complex trade and customs laws, regulations, and tax requirements. The countries in which our products are manufactured or imported, or may be manufactured or imported in the future, may from time to time impose duties, tariffs, or other restrictions on our imports or adversely change existing restrictions.

For example, during fiscal 2025, the United States enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed substantial tariffs on imported goods from most countries, which increased cost of goods sold during fiscal 2025. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Subsequently, new tariffs were imposed on a temporary basis pursuant to alternative statutory authority.

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and many other countries with respect to tariffs and trade policies, as well as the ability to recover any tariff refunds that may be owed. The situation regarding U.S. tariffs and trade policies has been fluid and continues to change. The risk of future changes may be particularly acute should trade tensions between the United States and other countries worsen, which could result in, among other things, increased tariffs and other trade restrictions, increased product costs, disruptions in the availability of goods, or a breakdown of international supply chains.

We continue to evaluate the impact of current and potential tariffs on our supply chain, costs, sales, and profitability, as well as our strategies to mitigate negative impacts. We can provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful in whole or

------

in part. To the extent that our supply chain, costs, sales, or profitability are negatively impacted by these tariffs or other trade actions, or if there is an escalation of tariffs or other trade restrictions, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our sourcing operations could also be adversely affected by geopolitical and financial instability in our sourcing countries, as well as U.S. or foreign labor strikes, work stoppages, or boycotts, resulting in the disruption of trade from our sourcing countries, significant fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, restrictions on the transfer of funds, or other trade disruptions. Disruptions to our sourcing operations in our sourcing countries could increase the cost or reduce the supply of apparel available to us and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Risks Related to Competition, Brand Relevance, and Brand Execution</u>**

***Our business is highly competitive.***

The global apparel retail industry is highly competitive. We and our franchisees compete with local, national, and global department stores, mass-market retailers, specialty and discount store chains, independent retail stores, and digital businesses that market similar lines of merchandise. The apparel retail industry is characterized by low barriers to entry which allow for the introduction of new competitors and products at a rapid pace. We face a variety of competitive challenges in an increasingly complex and fast-paced environment, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipating and quickly responding to changing apparel trends and customer demands;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attracting customer traffic both in stores and on our e-commerce platform;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competitively pricing our products and achieving customer perception of value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining favorable brand recognition, establishing relationships with athletes, performers, influencers, and other celebrities to promote our brands and products, and effectively marketing our products to customers in diverse market segments and geographic locations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipating and responding to changing customer shopping preferences and practices, including the increasing shift to digital brand engagement, social media communication, and digital shopping;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developing innovative, high-quality products in sizes, colors, and styles that appeal to customers of varying demographics and tastes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchasing and stocking merchandise to match seasonal weather patterns, and our ability to react to shifts in weather that impact consumer demand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sourcing and allocating merchandise efficiently;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully managing our order-taking and fulfillment operations in our distribution centers and on our e-commerce platform;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adapting to changes in technology, including the successful utilization of data science and AI; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our processes in order to deliver cost savings to fund growth.

If we or our franchisees are not able to respond effectively to competitive pressures, changes in retail markets, or customer expectations in the United States or internationally, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

***We must successfully gauge apparel trends and changing consumer preferences to succeed.***

Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to gauge and anticipate the tastes of our customers and to provide merchandise that satisfies customer demand in a timely manner. However, lead times for many of our design and purchasing decisions may make it more difficult for us to respond rapidly to new or changing apparel trends or consumer acceptance of our products. In addition, we have experienced, and could continue to experience, prolonged delays in receiving inventory due to transportation shortages, factory closures, labor shortages, port congestion, and other supply chain disruptions. The global apparel retail business fluctuates

------

according to changes in consumer preferences, dictated in part by apparel trends and season. To the extent we misjudge the market for our merchandise or the products suitable for local markets, or fail to execute trends and deliver products to the market as timely as our competitors, our sales will be adversely affected and we will need to mark down excess inventory. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***We must maintain our reputation and brand image.***

Our brands have wide recognition, and the success of our business depends in large part on our ability, and the ability of our franchisees and licensees, to maintain, enhance, and protect our brand image and reputation and our customers' connection to our brands. We must also adapt to a rapidly changing media environment, including our increasing reliance on social media and digital advertising campaigns and pursuing efforts to further personalize our marketing. Even if we, or our franchisees or licensees, react appropriately to negative posts or comments about us or our brands on social media and online, our customers' perception of our brand image and our reputation could be negatively impacted. Customer sentiment could also be shaped by our partnerships with athletes, performers, influencers, and other celebrities, as well as our sustainability policies and related sourcing and operational decisions. Our, or our franchisees' or licensees', failure to maintain, enhance, and protect our brand image could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***We must successfully implement our marketing efforts.***

Customer transactions and demand for our merchandise are influenced by our marketing efforts. We use various marketing channels to drive customer awareness and consideration of and interest in shopping our brands with the aim of increasing sales, and we are increasingly using digital advertising and pursuing efforts to further personalize our marketing to drive sales and traffic to our e-commerce platform. Some of our competitors may spend more for their marketing programs than we do, or use different approaches than we do, which may provide them with a competitive advantage. In addition, we may not be able to effectively develop or implement digital advertising strategies for rapidly evolving social media and other digital channels. Partnerships with athletes, performers, influencers, and other celebrities may expose us to reputational or other risks. We have experienced fluctuations in our customers' response to our marketing efforts. If we fail to successfully implement our marketing efforts, if our marketing efforts are not successful in driving expected increases in sales, or if our competitors' marketing programs are more effective than ours, our sales will be adversely affected, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Risks Related to Our Business and Operations</u>**

***We must effectively manage our inventory and fulfillment operations.***

Fluctuations in the global apparel retail markets impact the levels of inventory maintained by apparel retailers. The nature of the global apparel retail business requires us to carry a significant amount of inventory, especially prior to the peak holiday selling season when we build up our inventory levels. Merchandise usually must be ordered well in advance of the applicable selling season and frequently before apparel trends are confirmed by customer purchases. As a result, we are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to suboptimal selection and timing of merchandise purchases. We have not always predicted our customers' preferences and acceptance levels of our trend items with accuracy. If sales do not meet expectations, too much inventory may cause excessive markdowns and, therefore, lower-than-planned margins. In the past, we have taken significant impairment charges on delayed or unproductive inventory, and we may be required to take similar impairment charges in the future. Conversely, if we underestimate or are unable to satisfy consumer demand for our products, we may experience inventory shortages, delayed shipments to customers, and negative impacts on consumer relationships and brand loyalty. In addition, we have experienced, and could continue to experience, prolonged delays in receiving inventory due to transportation shortages, factory closures, labor shortages, port congestion, and other supply chain disruptions. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We continue to invest in strategic initiatives to optimize our inventory levels and increase the efficiency and responsiveness of our supply chain, including digital product creation, vendor fabric platforming, product testing, and in-season response to demand. We are also developing additional capabilities to analyze customer behavior

------

and demand, which we believe will allow us to better localize assortments and improve store-level allocations to further tailor our assortments to customer needs and increase sell-through. These capabilities involve changes to our inventory management systems and processes. If we are unable to implement these initiatives and integrate these additional capabilities successfully, we may not realize the return on our investments that we anticipate.

We must also maintain efficient and uninterrupted order-taking on our e-commerce platform and fulfillment operations in our distribution centers to timely and effectively deliver merchandise to our stores and e-commerce customers. Industries that are seasonal, like ours, face a higher risk of harm from operational disruptions during peak sales seasons. Any disruption to our order-taking and fulfillment operations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***We must protect our inventory from loss and theft.***

Risk of loss or theft of assets, including inventory shortage, is inherent in the retail business. Loss may be caused by error or misconduct of employees, customers, vendors, or other third parties including through organized retail crime and professional theft, which may be further impacted by macroeconomic factors, including the enforcement environment. In addition, retail theft may impact guest perceptions regarding the safety of our stores. Our inability to effectively prevent or minimize the loss or theft of assets, or to accurately predict and accrue for the impact of those losses, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our business is subject to risks associated with global sourcing and manufacturing.***

Independent vendors manufacture almost all of our products outside of our principal sales markets. As a result, we are directly impacted by increases in the cost of those products, including costs to transport those products to our principal sales markets.

If we experience significant increases in demand or need to replace an existing vendor, there can be no assurance that additional manufacturing capacity will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us or that any vendor would allocate sufficient capacity to us to meet our requirements. In addition, for any new manufacturing source, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our vendors in our methods and products, as well as our quality control, environmental, labor, health, and safety standards. Moreover, in the event of a significant disruption in the supply of the fabrics or raw materials used by our vendors in the manufacture of our products, our vendors might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality or at an acceptable price. Any delays, interruptions, or increased costs in the manufacture of our products could impact our ability to source product and result in lower than anticipated sales.

A large portion of our global sourcing comes from a few specific countries. For example, in fiscal 2025, approximately 27 percent and approximately 21 percent of our merchandise, by dollar value, was purchased from factories in Vietnam and Indonesia, respectively. In the past, we have experienced production delays and added costs in these countries. Any future production delays or added costs in these countries could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Because almost all of our products are manufactured outside of our principal sales markets, third parties must transport our products over large geographic distances. We may experience increases in transportation costs or delays in the shipment or delivery of our products due to the availability of transportation, work stoppages, port strikes, port and infrastructure congestion, pandemics and public health crises, social unrest, changes in local economic conditions, geopolitical instability, extreme weather conditions or natural disasters, transitioning between vendors, or other unforeseen events. Operating or manufacturing delays, transportation delays, or unexpected demand for our products may require us to use faster, but more expensive, transportation methods such as air freight, which could impact our gross margins. The cost of fuel is a significant component of transportation costs, so increases in the price of petroleum products including due to inflationary pressures, geopolitical instability (including ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine as well as the United States, Israel, and Iran), or regulation of energy inputs and greenhouse gas emissions could also impact our gross margins.

------

If our vendors, or any raw material suppliers on which our vendors rely, suffer prolonged manufacturing or transportation disruptions, our ability to source product could be adversely impacted, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***We must effectively manage key executive succession and retention and continue to attract qualified personnel.***

The loss of one or more of our key personnel or the inability to effectively identify a suitable successor to a key role could adversely affect our business. We made significant changes to our executive leadership team in recent years and are currently searching for a new brand president for Banana Republic. The failure to successfully transition and assimilate key employees, the effectiveness of our leaders, and any further transitions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business and future success also depends on our ability to attract and retain key personnel in our design, merchandising, sourcing, marketing, and other functions. In addition, executing strategic initiatives may require us to hire and develop employees with appropriate and specialized experience. We must also attract, develop, and retain a sufficient number of qualified field and distribution center personnel. Competition for talent is intense and the turnover rate in the retail industry is generally high. Furthermore, we have experienced a shortage of labor for field and distribution center positions, and we cannot be sure that we will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel for these and other positions in the future. Our ability to meet our labor needs while controlling costs is subject to external factors such as unemployment levels, prevailing wage rates and competitive wage pressures, minimum wage legislation, and overtime and paid leave regulations. Failing to offer competitive wages or benefits, or to manage our workforce effectively, could adversely affect our ability to attract or retain appropriate talent sufficient to meet the needs of our business. Moreover, shifts in U.S. immigration policy could negatively impact our ability to attract, hire, and retain skilled employees who are from outside the United States.

In addition, there has been an increase in workers exercising their right to form or join a union, both generally and in the retail industry, and the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued decisions making it easier for employees to organize. Although none of our U.S. and Canadian employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements, we have experienced union organizing activity from time to time, and there can be no assurance that our employees will not elect to be represented by labor unions in the future. If a significant portion of our workforce were to become unionized, our culture and operating model could change and our labor costs could increase. Our responses to any union organizing efforts could also impact how our Company and brands are perceived by customers and employees.

If we are unable to retain, attract, and motivate talented employees with the appropriate skill sets, we may not achieve our objectives, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***The global market for real estate is competitive.***

Our ability to effectively obtain real estate to open new stores, distribution centers, and corporate offices nationally and internationally depends on the availability of real estate that meets our criteria for traffic, square footage, co-tenancies, lease economics, demographics, and other factors. We also must be able to effectively renew our existing store leases. In addition, we may seek to downsize, consolidate, reposition, relocate, or close some of our real estate locations, which in most cases requires a modification or termination of an existing store lease. Failure to secure adequate new locations, successfully modify or exit existing locations, or effectively manage the profitability of our existing fleet of stores, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Additionally, the economic environment may at times make it difficult to determine the fair market rent of real estate properties within the United States and internationally. This could impact the quality of our decisions to enter into leases, exercise lease options, or renew expiring leases at negotiated rents. Any adverse effect on the quality of these decisions could impact our ability to retain real estate locations adequate to meet our targets or efficiently manage the profitability of our existing fleet of stores, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our business could be adversely affected by natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events.***

Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, and other extreme weather conditions; unforeseen public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics; political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war, labor unrest, and other political instability; negative global climate patterns, especially in water stressed regions; or other catastrophic events or disasters occurring in or impacting the areas in which our stores, distribution centers, corporate offices, or our vendors' manufacturing facilities are located, whether occurring in the United States or internationally, could disrupt our operations and the operations of our vendors and other third-party partners. Our disaster recovery and business continuity planning may not be sufficient in all instances to respond to the impact of such catastrophic events.

In particular, these types of events could impact our supply chain from or to the impacted regions and could impact our ability or the ability of our franchisees and other third-party partners to operate stores or websites. These types of events could also negatively impact consumer spending in the impacted regions or globally. Disasters occurring at our vendors' manufacturing facilities could impact our reputation and our customers' perception of our brands. To the extent any of these events occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

**<u>Risks Related to Strategic Initiatives and Investments</u>**

***Our franchise and licensing businesses are subject to certain risks not directly within our control.***

We have entered into franchise agreements to operate stores and websites in many countries around the world. Under these agreements, third parties operate, or will operate, stores and websites that sell apparel and related products under our brand names. We have also entered into licensing agreements with third parties to sell products using our brand names.

The effect of these arrangements on our business depends upon various factors, including the demand for our products in international markets, the demand for new product categories, and our ability to successfully identify appropriate third parties to act as franchisees, licensees, distributors, or in a similar capacity. In addition, certain aspects of these arrangements are not directly within our control, such as franchisee and licensee financial stability and the ability of these third parties to meet their projections regarding store locations, store openings, and sales. If sales of our products by our franchisees or licensees are not successful, we may not achieve the results we anticipate, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Other risks that may affect our franchisees and licensees include general economic conditions in specific countries or markets, foreign exchange rates, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, restrictions on the transfer of funds, and geopolitical instability. The value of our brands could be impaired to the extent that our franchisees and licensees do not operate their stores or websites or sell our branded products in a manner consistent with our requirements regarding our brand identities and customer experience standards. Failure to protect the value of our brands, or any other harmful acts or omissions by a franchisee or licensee, could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

***Our efforts to expand internationally may not be successful.***

We continue to pursue selective international expansion in a number of countries around the world through several channels. This includes our franchisees opening additional stores internationally. We have limited experience operating or franchising in some of these locations. In many of these locations, we face major established competitors. In addition, in many of these locations, real estate, employment and labor, transportation and logistics, and other operating requirements differ dramatically from those in the places where we have more experience. Consumer tastes and trends may differ in these locations and, as a result, the sales of our products may not be successful, or we may not achieve the results we anticipate. If our international expansion plans are unsuccessful or do not deliver the results we anticipate, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

------

***Our investments in customer, digital, AI, omni-channel, and other strategic initiatives may not deliver the results we anticipate.***

One of our strategic priorities is to further develop an omni-channel shopping experience for our customers through the integration of our store and digital shopping channels. Our omni-channel initiatives include cross-channel logistics optimization and exploring additional ways to develop an omni-channel shopping experience, including further digital integration and customer personalization. These initiatives may involve significant investments in information technology systems, data science and AI initiatives, and significant operational changes. Our competitors are also investing in omni-channel initiatives, some of which may be more successful than our initiatives.

We have made and will continue to make investments in other strategic initiatives across our business. These initiatives involve, among others, significant investments in product design and development; marketing and media; store operations; supply chain and inventory management; and technology including automation, data analytics, and AI. In addition, we have and may continue to pursue initiatives to simplify and increase efficiencies across our business. These initiatives are subject to many estimates and assumptions, and we cannot guarantee that we will realize any or all of the intended returns, benefits, efficiencies, or cost savings from these initiatives to the extent or on the timelines expected.

Our strategic initiatives include expanding into new product categories and accelerating growth in other product categories where we already compete. In 2025, we announced our strategic expansion into beauty and accessories. We also continue to focus on other high-potential categories, including active and denim. We compete with other retailers in these categories, some of which are larger and more established than we are, and competition is intense. There can be no assurance that our expansion in any new product categories will be successful or that we will successfully accelerate growth in other product categories where we already compete.

If the implementation of our customer, digital, omni-channel, and other strategic initiatives is not successful, or we do not realize the return on our investments in these initiatives that we anticipate, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***We may engage in or seek to engage in strategic transactions, such as acquisitions, partnerships, divestitures, and other dispositions, that are subject to various risks and uncertainties.***

We may engage in or seek to engage in strategic transactions, such as acquisitions, partnerships, divestitures, or other dispositions. For example, in recent years, we transferred our Europe, Mexico, and China businesses to a partnership model.

We may not be able to complete strategic transactions on anticipated terms or time frames or at all, and such transactions may not generate any or all of the expected strategic, financial, operational, or other benefits if and when completed. In addition, these transactions may be complex, 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 anticipated 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. 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. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Risks Related to Information Security and Technology</u>**

***We are subject to data and security risks, which could adversely affect our operations and consumer confidence in our security measures or result in liability.***

As part of our normal operations, we receive and maintain confidential, proprietary, and personally identifiable information, including credit card information, and information about our customers, our employees, job applicants, and other third parties. The secure operation of our networks and systems, and those of our business

------

partners, suppliers, and third-party service providers, including those on which this type of information is stored, processed, and maintained is critical to our business operations. These networks and systems are subject to an increasing threat of continually evolving data and security risks.

Security breaches and vulnerabilities impacting our systems and those of our business partners and third-party service providers could cause harm to our systems or compromise data stored on our networks or those of our business partners and third-party service providers, and could expose us to remedial, legal, and other costs which could be material. The retail industry, in particular, has been the target of cyberattacks. Our efforts to take appropriate measures to safeguard our information security and privacy environment from security breaches and vulnerabilities, and to train our employees to identify security threats as part of our security efforts, vary in maturity across our business. The constantly changing nature of the cyber threats landscape means that we are not able to anticipate or prevent all types of cyberattacks, and our logging processes may not be sufficient to fully investigate a cyberattack. Additionally, as cybercriminals become more sophisticated, the cost of proactive defensive measures continues to increase. Like our peers, we have been targeted by cyberattacks, which in some cases have been successful.

Actual or anticipated cyberattacks and vulnerabilities may disrupt or impair our operations, and may cause us to incur costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants. Advances in technological capabilities, new technological discoveries, or other developments may result in the technology used by us to protect transactions and other data being more easily breached or compromised. Measures we implement to protect against cyberattacks and address vulnerabilities may also have the potential to impact our customers' shopping experience or decrease activity on our e-commerce platform by making it more difficult to use or requiring website downtime. Data and security breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent breaches by our employees or by persons with whom we have commercial relationships that result in the unauthorized release of personal or confidential information.

The global regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and cybersecurity is increasingly demanding, and we are required to comply with new and constantly evolving laws, such as various state-level privacy laws in the United States and international laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union and United Kingdom, which give consumers the right to control how their personal information is collected, used, shared, and retained. Our failure to comply with these and other data privacy laws or to secure personal or confidential information could result in significant legal and financial exposure, and a loss of consumer confidence in our security measures. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

***Our efforts to integrate AI into our business operations may not be successful and could result in liability.***

We continue to integrate AI and similar technologies across our business, which presents risks, challenges, and ethical issues that could impact our operations and result in liability. AI algorithms or training methodologies may have flaws, and AI technologies may be prone to cybersecurity incidents or service interruptions. Data sets used by AI may be overbroad, insufficient, or contain biased information, and AI may generate offensive, illegal, inaccurate, or otherwise harmful content. Use of AI by our employees could increase the risk of exposure of confidential or competitively sensitive information. Privacy concerns and risks related to intellectual property rights of inputs into our AI programs and in our AI work product are also present.

If our use of AI technologies produces deficient, inaccurate, controversial, or misleading work product, or has other unintended consequences, we could be subject to legal liability, regulatory action, and competitive or reputational harm. Further, we may be unable to quickly and successfully adapt to rapid change resulting from advancements in AI and similar technologies, or our competitors may have more success implementing and utilizing these technologies than we do. Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

***Failures of, or updates or changes to, our information technology systems may disrupt operations.***

We maintain a complex technology platform consisting of both legacy and modern systems. We also increasingly rely on third-party service providers for public cloud infrastructure that powers our e-commerce platform and other

------

systems. Our owned and operated systems require continual maintenance, upgrades, and changes, some of which are significant. Upgrades may involve replacing existing systems with successor systems, making changes to existing systems, or acquiring new systems with new functionality. We are also undertaking significant upgrades to our digital and information technology systems to, among other things, advance our data analytics capabilities; enhance our in-store and e-commerce experiences; improve our product design and development, supply chain, and inventory management capabilities; enable us to more effectively personalize our marketing; enhance the security of and reduce risks associated with our technology systems; streamline our information technology operations; and enable us to work more efficiently. Many of these efforts depend on the continued integration of data science and AI within our information technology systems. We have limited back-up systems and redundancies, and our technology systems and e-commerce platform have experienced system failures in the past which have disrupted our business.

There are inherent risks associated with maintaining and replacing these systems, including accurately capturing data and addressing system disruptions. We may not successfully maintain or launch these systems as planned or implement them without disruptions to our operations. Information technology system disruptions or failures, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, or failure to successfully implement new or upgraded systems, could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. As we continue to move to their platforms, our reliance on third-party systems means that any downtime or security issues they experience poses a greater risk of a single point of failure. For example, in 2025 we were affected by a global outage at Microsoft which impacted various Microsoft services. Any failure by our third-party service providers could also disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our technology systems that support our e-commerce platform may not be effective or function properly.***

Many of our customers shop with us through our e-commerce platform, including on our websites and mobile app. Increasingly, customers are using smart devices to shop with us and with our competitors and to compare our products with those of our competitors. We are also increasingly using social media and our mobile app to interact with customers and enhance their shopping experience. We must provide an attractive, effective, reliable, and user-friendly e-commerce platform that offers a wide assortment of merchandise with rapid delivery options and that continually meets the changing expectations of digital shoppers. Our failure to do so, or any failure of our e-commerce platform due to disruptions in telephone or network services, power outages, inadequate system capacity, system hardware or software issues, computer viruses, security breaches, human error, or disruptions due to updates or changes to our information technology systems, could place us at a competitive disadvantage, result in lost e-commerce sales, or harm our brands' reputations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Financial Risks</u>**

***We may experience reductions in income and cash flow from our private label and co-branded credit card programs.***

A third party, Barclays Bank Delaware ("Barclays"), currently issues and services our private label and co-branded credit cards for our Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands. Our arrangement with Barclays provides for certain payments to be made by Barclays to us, including a share of revenues from the performance of the credit card portfolios. The income and cash flow that we receive from Barclays depends upon a number of factors, including the level of sales on private label and co-branded accounts, the level of balances carried on the accounts, payment rates on the accounts, finance charge rates and other fees on the accounts, the level of credit losses for the accounts, Barclays' ability to extend credit to our customers, and the cost of customer rewards programs. All of these factors can vary based on changes in federal and state credit card, banking, and consumer protection laws, including recent proposals to cap the interest rates charged on credit cards at 10 percent. The factors affecting the income and cash flow that we receive from our credit card arrangement can also vary based on global economic conditions and legal, social, and other factors that we cannot control. If the income and cash flow that we receive from our credit card arrangement decreases significantly, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

------

***Our business is exposed to the risks of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and our hedging strategies may not be effective in mitigating those risks.***

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to our sales, operating expenses, profits, assets, and liabilities generated or incurred in foreign currencies as well as inventory purchases in U.S. dollars for our foreign subsidiaries. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could also impact consumer spending or adversely affect the profitability of our foreign operations or those of our franchisees and licensees. Global economic and geopolitical uncertainty have resulted in volatility in foreign exchange rates, which may continue. Financial instruments that we use to hedge certain foreign currency risks may not succeed in fully offsetting the negative impact of foreign currency rate movements and generally only delay their impact. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***We experience fluctuations in our comparable sales and margins, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, our credit ratings, and our liquidity.***

Our success depends in part on our ability to grow comparable sales and improve margins. A variety of factors affect comparable sales and margins, including but not limited to apparel trends, competition, current economic conditions (including macroeconomic pressures and geopolitical instability), the timing of new merchandise releases and promotional events, changes in our merchandise mix, the success of our marketing programs (including our loyalty program), supply chain disruptions and transitory costs, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, industry traffic trends, and weather conditions. These factors may cause our comparable sales results and margins to differ materially from prior periods and from financial market expectations. Our comparable sales have fluctuated significantly in the past on an annual and quarterly basis. Over the past five fiscal years, our reported annual comparable sales have ranged from a high of 6 percent in fiscal 2021 to a low of negative 7 percent in fiscal 2022. Over the same period, our reported gross margins have ranged from a high of 41.3 percent in fiscal 2024 to a low of 34.3 percent in fiscal 2022, and our reported operating margins have ranged from a high of 7.4 percent in fiscal 2024 to a low of negative 0.4 percent in fiscal 2022.

Our ability to deliver strong comparable sales results and margins depends in large part on accurately forecasting demand and apparel trends, selecting effective marketing techniques, providing an appropriate mix of merchandise for our broad and diverse customer base, managing inventory effectively, using effective pricing strategies, and optimizing store and online performance. Fluctuations in our comparable sales and margins or failure to meet financial market expectations in one or more future periods could reduce the market price of our common stock, cause our credit ratings to decline, and negatively impact our liquidity, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our indebtedness may adversely affect our ability to operate and expand our business.***

We have a secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility"). As of February 1, 2025, we had $2.2 billion in principal amount of undrawn commitments available for borrowings under the ABL Facility, subject to borrowing base availability. We also have $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2029 and 2031 (the "Senior Notes") outstanding. As a result, we are subject to risks relating to the ABL Facility and the Senior Notes.

Our indebtedness could impact our business in the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to general adverse economic conditions or changes in our business or industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impair our ability to restructure our debt or obtain additional debt or equity financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or general corporate or other purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness.

------

We generated net cash from operating activities of $1.3 billion in fiscal 2025 and ended fiscal 2025 with $3.0 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments on our balance sheet. Our ability to make required payments on our indebtedness depends upon our future operating performance and cash flow generation, which are subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to fund our debt service obligations and other liquidity needs. If we cannot make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, we will be in default and, as a result, our lenders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, could terminate their commitments to loan money to us, and could foreclose against any assets securing our indebtedness under the ABL Facility.

Our ABL Facility also includes restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to grant or incur liens, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries, make investments in certain subsidiaries, pay dividends, make distributions, redeem or repurchase capital stock, or consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another entity. Compliance with these and the other covenants in the ABL Facility may restrict our ability to implement our business plan, finance future operations, respond to changing business and economic conditions, secure additional financing, and engage in strategic transactions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with our financial or other covenants under the ABL Facility or that any covenant violations would be waived by our lenders, which could result in an event of default, and, as a result, our lenders under the ABL Facility could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, could suspend commitments to make any advances, or could require any outstanding letters of credit to be collateralized by an interest bearing cash account.

Any of these risks could impact our ability to operate and expand our business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, we may in the future incur additional indebtedness, which could intensify these risks and make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness.

***Changes in our credit profile or deterioration in market conditions may limit our access to the capital markets.***

We currently have corporate credit ratings of BB+ with a stable outlook from Standard & Poor's ("S&P") and Ba2 with a positive outlook from Moody's. Any 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. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Risks Related to Sustainability and Climate Change</u>**

***Our business is subject to evolving regulations and expectations with respect to sustainability matters that could expose us to numerous risks.***

Increasingly regulators, customers, investors, employees, and other stakeholders are focusing on sustainability matters and related disclosures. These developments have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and increased management time and attention spent complying with or meeting sustainability-related requirements and expectations. For example, developing and acting on sustainability-related initiatives, including design, sourcing, and operations decisions, and collecting, measuring, and reporting sustainability-related information and metrics can be costly, difficult, and time consuming, and is subject to evolving reporting standards, including climate and sustainability reporting requirements in the United States and European Union. We may also communicate certain sustainability-related initiatives and goals in our SEC filings or in other public disclosures. These sustainability-related initiatives and goals could be difficult and expensive to implement, the technologies needed to implement them may not be cost effective and may not advance at a sufficient pace, and we could be criticized or sued for the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of our disclosures. Separately, there is increased scrutiny of companies' diversity initiatives, which could result in criticism, whether due to perceived over or under pursuit of such initiatives, as well as potential litigation or other

------

adverse impacts. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

Further, statements about our sustainability-related initiatives and goals, and progress against those goals, may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. In addition, we could be criticized for the scope or nature of such initiatives or goals, or for any revisions to these goals. If our sustainability-related data, processes, and reporting are incomplete or inaccurate, or if we fail to achieve progress with respect to our sustainability-related goals on a timely basis, or at all, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation could be adversely affected.

***Climate change may have an adverse impact on our business.***

Our properties and operations, and those of our franchisees, vendors, and other business partners, may be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, which may include an increase in the frequency and severity of weather conditions and other natural cycles such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and droughts, as well as shifts in climate patterns. The physical changes prompted by climate change could result in increased regulation or changes in consumer preferences and spending patterns. Such events have the potential to disrupt our operations and those of our franchisees, vendors, and other business partners, cause store and factory closures, and impact our customers, employees, and workers in our supply chain, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Risks</u>**

***We must comply with applicable laws and regulations and manage changes in the regulatory and administrative landscape.***

Laws and regulations at the local, state, federal, and international levels frequently change, and the ultimate cost of compliance cannot be precisely estimated. In addition, we cannot predict with assurance the impact that may result from changes in the regulatory and administrative landscape. Such laws and regulations are complex and often subject to differing interpretations, which can lead to unintentional or unknown instances of non-compliance.

Our failure, or the failure of our employees, franchisees, licensees, vendors, or other business partners, to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and any changes in laws or regulations, the imposition of additional laws or regulations, or the enactment of any new or more stringent legislation that impacts employment and labor, anti-corruption, trade, product safety, transportation and logistics, health care, tax, cybersecurity, privacy, operational, or environmental issues, among others, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our vendors' failure to adhere to our Code of Vendor Conduct could harm our business.***

We purchase merchandise from third-party vendors in many different countries, and we require those vendors to adhere to a Code of Vendor Conduct, which includes anti-corruption, environmental, labor, health, and safety standards. From time to time, our vendors and their suppliers may not be in compliance with these standards or applicable local laws. Significant or continuing noncompliance with such standards and laws by one or more of our vendors, suppliers, or other third parties could subject us to liability, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

***We are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims from time to time.***

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, tax, 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. In addition, we have filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court to defend research credits taken in prior years. Actions are in various procedural stages and some may be covered in part by insurance. We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Additionally, defending against or pursuing Actions may involve significant expense and diversion of management's attention and resources. Accordingly, developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and

------

impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. An unfavorable outcome could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

**Risk Management and Strategy**

Safeguarding our information systems as well as the information that we receive and store about our customers, employees, vendors, and others is a priority for Gap Inc. We maintain a cybersecurity program with technical and organizational safeguards that is designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats, including threats associated with the use of third-party systems. The program leverages our overall enterprise risk management and business continuity planning processes. Cybersecurity risk management processes are also embedded within our operating procedures, internal controls, and information systems.

Annually, employees receive cybersecurity training, and we provide additional targeted cybersecurity awareness and education activities throughout the year. In partnership with external consultants, we periodically conduct "tabletop" exercises with management, our Board and members of our Information Security, Information Technology, and Privacy teams during which we simulate real-life cybersecurity incident scenarios to assess our preparedness, test our incident response plan and highlight potential areas for improvement. Audits of our cybersecurity risk management processes are conducted periodically in order to test the effectiveness of controls designed to prevent and respond to cyberattacks at different levels within Gap Inc. In addition, we maintain cybersecurity risk insurance.

Our Information Security and Information Technology teams manage and monitor our cybersecurity environment. These teams track cybersecurity incidents across Gap Inc., our vendors and third-party service providers to remediate and resolve incidents. Incidents are escalated as appropriate based on a risk assessment framework, including as needed to senior management. Gap Inc.'s Privacy team is involved to the extent data privacy concerns are implicated. We maintain an incident response plan to coordinate activities taken to respond to and remediate cybersecurity incidents. We consult with outside counsel as appropriate, including on materiality analysis and disclosure matters, and senior management makes final materiality determination and disclosure decisions.

Our cybersecurity risk management processes are aligned with industry-recognized standards, primarily the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), which serves as the foundation for our policies, procedures, and technical controls. We partner with leading cybersecurity companies to leverage third-party technology and expertise, and we engage with these partners to support monitoring and maintaining the performance and effectiveness of controls implemented in our environment.

------

To date, our business strategy, results of operations, and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previously identified cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks or any future material incidents. For more information on our cybersecurity-related risks, see "Risks Related to Information Security and Technology" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

**Governance**

Gap Inc.'s Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") oversees the cybersecurity program. The CISO reports to the Chief Technology Officer ("CTO") and is responsible for assessing and maintaining the Company's cybersecurity risk management processes. The CISO informs senior management regarding the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The CISO, CTO, and members of the Information Security, Information Technology, and Privacy teams have broad experience and expertise in selecting, deploying, and operating cybersecurity technologies, initiatives and processes around the world. Our CISO has more than 30 years of experience in the information security and information technology fields. Our CTO has more than 35 years of experience in these fields, including in technology leadership roles for large companies across multiple industries.

Our Board understands the importance of maintaining a robust and effective cybersecurity program. The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board oversees the Company's cybersecurity program as well as risk exposures and steps taken by management to monitor and mitigate cybersecurity risks. The CISO provides a quarterly update on the cybersecurity program, on an alternating basis to the Audit and Finance Committee or the full Board.

Our Internal Audit department facilitates an annual enterprise risk assessment ("ERA") that is designed to gather information regarding key enterprise risks, emerging risks, and critical risk events that could impact our objectives and strategies. The Internal Audit department partners with our Information Security, Information Technology, and Privacy teams to gather information about risks related to cybersecurity threats. The ERA is presented to the Board and provides the foundation for the annual Internal Audit plan, management's monitoring and risk mitigation efforts, and ongoing Board-level oversight. On a quarterly basis, Gap Inc.'s Chief Audit Executive updates the Audit and Finance Committee on the Internal Audit plan. The Audit and Finance Committee also reviews updates to the Company's enterprise risk profile, including identified cybersecurity risks, throughout the year. Additionally, key third-party dependencies are monitored as part of our overall business continuity planning, with the Audit and Finance Committee receiving periodic updates.

**Item 2. Properties.**

As of January 31, 2026, we had 2,474 Company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Taiwan, which totaled approximately 29.6 million square feet. Almost all of these stores are leased, typically with one or more renewal options after the initial term. Terms vary by type and location of store.

We own approximately 0.8 million square feet of corporate office space located in: San Francisco, Pleasanton, and Rocklin, California.

**Our Business**

We are a house of iconic American brands offering apparel, accessories, and personal care products for men, women, and children under the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands. As of January 31, 2026, we had Company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Taiwan. Our products are available to customers both in stores and online, through Company-operated and franchise stores, websites, and third-party arrangements. We also have franchise agreements to operate Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, 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. The shopping experience is further enhanced by our omni-channel services, including buy online pick-up in store, order-in-store, and ship-from-store, as well as enhanced mobile-enabled experiences, which allow our customers to shop seamlessly across our brands and channels. Our brands have shared investments in supply chain and inventory management, which allows us to optimize efficiency and responsiveness in our operations. Most of the products sold under our brand names are designed by us and manufactured by independent sources globally.

**Overview** 

Financial results for fiscal 2025 are as follows:

• Net sales for fiscal 2025 increased 2 percent to $15.4 billion compared with $15.1 billion for fiscal 2024.

• Store and franchise sales for fiscal 2025 increased 1 percent compared with fiscal 2024 and online sales for fiscal 2025 increased 4 percent compared with fiscal 2024.

• Gross profit for fiscal 2025 was $6.3 billion compared with $6.2 billion for fiscal 2024. Gross margin for fiscal 2025 was 40.8 percent compared with 41.3 percent for fiscal 2024.

• Operating income was $1.1 billion for both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.

Over the last two years, we have focused on fixing the fundamentals, enabling us to perform while we transform. As we move into the next phase of our transformation, we are focused on building momentum through the following strategic priorities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delivering financial and operational rigor, through an optimized cost structure and disciplined execution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• building our brands to increase relevance, while we elevate our product and customer experience to drive sustainable growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• optimizing our platform to drive scale by advancing capabilities that amplify and enable our brands;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strengthening our culture by developing talent and fostering a high-performance environment; and

Macroeconomic factors, including uncertainty surrounding global geopolitical instability, inflationary pressures, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in interest rates, duties, tariffs, tax laws, and other restrictions as a result of government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies, continue to create a complex and challenging macro environment. In fiscal 2025, the United States enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed substantial tariffs on imported goods from most countries. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed under the IEEPA, and subsequently, new tariffs were imposed on a temporary basis pursuant to alternative statutory authority. With continued uncertainty expected during fiscal 2026, we will continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic conditions on consumer behavior and demand. For additional information on the risks and uncertainties to our business caused by macroeconomic factors, see the sections entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions—Our business is impacted by global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending" and "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Macroeconomic Conditions—Trade matters, including the imposition of tariffs by the United States, have had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on our business" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Form 10-K.

We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of January 31, 2026, our operating segments included Old Navy Global, Gap Global, Banana Republic Global, and Athleta Global. Our brands have similar products, suppliers, customers, methods of distribution, and regulatory environment. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar qualitative and economic characteristics, and, therefore, the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment.

**Results of Operations**

A discussion regarding our results of operations for fiscal year 2025 compared with fiscal year 2024 is presented below. A discussion regarding our results of operations for fiscal year 2024 compared with fiscal year 2023 can be found under Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025.

**Net Sales**

See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for net sales disaggregation.

*Comparable Sales ("Comp Sales")*

Comp Sales include the results of Company-operated stores and sales through our online channel. The calculation of Comp Sales excludes the results of our franchise and licensing business.

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.

------

The percentage change in Comp Sales by global brand and for The Gap, Inc., as compared with the preceding year, is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |

Outlet and factory stores are reflected in each of the respective brands.

As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company's franchise partners operated approximately 1,000 franchise stores.

------

*Net Sales Discussion*

Our net sales for fiscal 2025 increased $280 million, or 2 percent, compared with fiscal 2024, driven primarily by an increase in online sales. The increase was primarily related to Old Navy Global and Gap Global, our two largest brands, partially offset by Athleta Global.

**Cost of Goods Sold and Occupancy Expenses**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses | $9098 | $8859 |
| Gross profit | $6268 | $6227 |
| Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses as a percentage of net sales | 59.2% | 58.7% |
| Gross margin | 40.8% | 41.3% |

---

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses increased 0.5 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024.

• Cost of goods sold increased 0.8 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily driven by an estimated impact of approximately 1.2 percentage points from tariff costs net of related mitigation efforts, partially offset by less promotional activity at all brands except Athleta Global.

• Occupancy expenses decreased 0.3 percentage points as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily driven by an increase in online sales without a corresponding increase in occupancy expenses.

Uncertainty surrounding changes in U.S. trade policy and tariff rates is contributing to overall macroeconomic volatility. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of U.S. trade policy and tariff rates, which increased cost of goods sold in fiscal 2025. Ongoing changes to tariff rates may impact our gross margins in future quarters and may also impact comparability across periods.

**Operating Expenses and Operating Margin**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Operating expenses | $5153 | $5115 |
| Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales | 33.5% | 33.9% |
| Operating margin | 7.3% | 7.4% |

---

Operating expenses increased $38 million, but decreased 0.4 percentage points as a percentage of net sales during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in net sales as well as an increase in strategic investments.

------

**Interest Expense**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Interest expense | $93 | $87 |

---

Interest expense primarily includes interest on outstanding borrowings and obligations mainly related to our Senior Notes and tax-related interest expense. Interest expense increased $6 million during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower tax-related interest expense in fiscal 2024.

**Interest Income**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Interest income | $(110) | $(112) |

---

Interest income primarily includes interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, as well as tax-related interest income. Interest income decreased slightly during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher cash balances.

**Income Taxes**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Income tax expense | $316 | $293 |
| Effective tax rate | 27.9% | 25.8% |

---

The change in the effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024 was primarily due to changes in the amount and mix of jurisdictional earnings, as well as less favorable impacts of share-based compensation.

See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for further details.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We consider the following to be measures of our liquidity and capital resources:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **January 31, <br>2026** | **February 1, <br>2025** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $2616 | $2335 |
| Short-term investments | 386 | 253 |
| Debt |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;3.625 percent Senior Notes due 2029 | 750 | 750 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;3.875 percent Senior Notes due 2031 | 750 | 750 |
| Working capital | 2477 | 1947 |
| Current ratio | 1.75:1 | 1.60:1 |

---

As of January 31, 2026, the majority of our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were held in the United States and are generally accessible without any limitations.

We are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility") or other available market instruments. There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for disclosures on the ABL Facility.

------

Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from the sale of our merchandise. 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 and share repurchases. As our business typically follows a seasonal pattern, with sales peaking during the end-of-year holiday period, we fund inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through cash flows from operating activities and available cash. The seasonality of our operations, in addition to the impact of macroeconomic factors, 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. These macroeconomic factors include uncertainty surrounding global geopolitical instability, inflationary pressures, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in interest rates, duties, tariffs, tax laws, and other restrictions as a result of government fiscal, monetary, trade, and tax policies.

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. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K, for disclosures on the Company's SCF program.

We are party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2026, while others are considered future obligations. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of operating leases, purchase obligations and commitments, long-term debt and related interest payments, and income taxes. See Notes 6 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for information related to our debt and operating leases, respectively.

Purchase obligations and commitments consist of open purchase orders to purchase inventory as well as commitments for products and services used in the normal course of business. As of January 31, 2026, our purchase obligations and commitments were approximately $4 billion. We expect that the majority of these purchase obligations and commitments will be settled within one year.

Our contractual obligations related to income taxes are primarily related to unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for information related to income taxes.

We believe our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, along with our cash flows from operations and instruments mentioned above, provide sufficient funds for our business operations as well as capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, 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 decreased $193 million during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $80 million related to accounts payable, primarily due to timing of payments for merchandise inventory compared with fiscal 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $65 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities, primarily due to higher payments for fiscal 2024 performance-based compensation made during fiscal 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $41 million related to merchandise inventory, primarily due to higher tariff rates during fiscal 2025, partially offset by timing of receipts.

------

**Cash Flows from Investing Activities**

Net cash used for investing activities decreased $92 million during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $117 million fewer net purchases of short-term investments in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024; partially offset by

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $23 million more purchases of property and equipment during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024.

In fiscal 2025, cash used for purchases of property and equipment was $470 million primarily related to store investments, information technology systems, and supply chain improvements, to support the customer experience.

**Cash Flows from Financing Activities**

Net cash used for financing activities increased $98 million during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024, primarily due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $80 million more repurchases of common stock in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $22 million more payments of dividends in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024.

**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.

The following table reconciles free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, from net cash provided by operating activities, a GAAP financial measure.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |

**Debt and Credit Facilities**

Certain financial information about the Company's debt and credit facilities is set forth under the headings "Debt and Credit Facilities" in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.

**Dividend Policy**

In determining whether and at what level to declare a dividend, our Board considers a number of factors including sustainability, operating performance, liquidity, and market conditions.

We paid an annual dividend of $0.66 per share in fiscal 2025 and $0.60 per share in fiscal 2024. In February 2026, the Board authorized a dividend of $0.175 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

**Share Repurchases**

Certain information about the Company's share repurchases is set forth under the heading "Share Repurchases" in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies can be found under the heading "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K. The policies and estimates discussed below include the financial statement elements that are either judgmental or involve the selection or application of alternative accounting policies and are material to our financial statements.

**Inventory Valuation**

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value ("LCNRV"), with cost determined using the weighted-average cost method. We review our inventory levels in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments (items no longer in stock in a sufficient range of sizes or colors), and we primarily use markdowns to clear merchandise. We record an adjustment to inventory when future estimated selling price is less than cost. Our LCNRV adjustment calculation requires management to make assumptions to estimate the selling price and amount of slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments subject to markdowns, which is dependent upon factors such as historical trends with similar merchandise, inventory aging, forecasted consumer demand, and the promotional environment.

We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our LCNRV. However, if estimates regarding consumer demand are inaccurate, or if global economic conditions change beyond what is currently estimated by management, our operating results could be affected.

**Impairment of Long-Lived Assets**

Long-lived assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment and operating lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include a significant decrease in the operating performance of the long-lived asset, the decision to close a store, corporate facility, or distribution center, or adverse changes in business climate.

Long-lived assets are considered impaired if the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group over the estimated remaining useful life. 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. For our Company-operated stores, the individual store generally represents the lowest level of independent identifiable cash flows and the asset group is comprised of both property and equipment and operating lease assets.

For impaired assets, we recognize a loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset or asset group and its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the asset or asset group is based on discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. For operating lease assets, the Company determines the estimated fair value of the assets by comparing the discounted contractual rent payments to estimated market rental rates using available valuation techniques.

Our estimate of future cash flows requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future sales and gross profits and estimating useful lives of the assets. These estimates can be affected by factors such as future sales results, real estate market conditions, store closure plans, economic conditions, business interruptions, interest rates and government regulations that can be difficult to predict. If actual results and conditions are not consistent with the estimates and assumptions used in our calculations, we may be exposed to additional impairments of long-lived assets.

------

See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for additional information and disclosures about impairment of long-lived assets.

**Income Taxes** 

We are a multinational company operating in multiple domestic and foreign locations with different tax laws and regulations. The Company's management is required to interpret and apply these tax laws and regulations in determining the amount of its income tax liability for financial statement purposes. We record valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances, management is required to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including tax planning strategies, forecasting future income, taxable income, and the geographic mix of income or losses in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may also be materially impacted by changes in the geographic mix and level of income or losses, changes in the expected or actual outcome of audits, changes in deferred tax valuation allowances, or new tax legislation.

On a recurring basis, we assess the need for valuation allowances related to our deferred income tax assets, which includes consideration of both positive and negative evidence to determine, based on the weight of the available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. In our assessment, we consider recent financial operating results, the scheduled expiration of our net operating losses, potential sources of taxable income, the reversal of existing taxable differences, taxable income in prior carryback years (if permitted under tax law), and tax planning strategies.

It is possible that there will be changes in our business structure, our performance, our industry or otherwise that cause results to differ materially in future periods. If the changes result in significant and sustained reductions in our pre-tax income or utilization of existing tax carryforwards in future periods, additional valuation allowances may be required with corresponding adverse impacts on results of operations. Such adverse impacts may be material.

At any point in time, many tax years are subject to or in the process of being audited by various U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. These audits include reviews of our tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions taken and the allocation of income between tax jurisdictions. When an uncertain tax position is identified, we recognize a benefit only if we believe it is more likely than not that the tax position based on its technical merits will be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authorities. We recognize a benefit for tax positions using the highest cumulative tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. We establish a liability for tax positions that do not meet this threshold. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions requires management to apply specialized skill and knowledge related to tax laws and regulations and to make assumptions that are subject to factors such as possible assessments by tax authorities, changes in facts and circumstances, issuance of new regulations, and resolutions of tax audits. To the extent we prevail in matters for which a liability has been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of our established liability, our effective income tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.

See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for additional information on income taxes.

**Revenue Recognition** 

The Company's revenues primarily include merchandise sales at stores, online, and through franchise and licensing agreements. We also receive revenue sharing from our credit card agreement for private label and co-branded credit cards, and recognize breakage revenue related to our gift cards, merchandise return cards, and outstanding loyalty points based upon historical redemption patterns. For online sales, the Company has elected to treat shipping and handling as fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our single performance obligation related to online sales at the time control of the merchandise passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. Revenues are presented net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

------

We record sales return allowances and a right of returns asset on a gross basis for expected future merchandise returns, based on historical return patterns, merchandise mix, and recent trends. The actual amount of customer returns, which are inherently uncertain, may differ from our estimates. Sales return allowances are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the right of returns asset is recorded within other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We also defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards, licensing agreements, outstanding loyalty points, and reimbursements of loyalty program rewards associated with our credit card agreement.

See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for related revenue disclosures.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

See "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K for recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

**Derivative Financial Instruments**

Certain financial information about the Company's derivative financial instruments is set forth under the heading "Derivative Financial Instruments" in Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.

We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of January 31, 2026 based on a model that measures the impact of a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates to the U.S. dollar (with all other variables held constant) on our underlying estimated major foreign currency exposures, net of derivative financial instruments. The foreign currency exchange rates used in the model were based on the spot rates in effect as of January 31, 2026. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10 percent adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates would have an unfavorable impact on the underlying cash flow, net of our foreign exchange derivative financial instruments, of $11 million as of January 31, 2026.

**Debt**

Certain financial information about the Company's debt is set forth under the heading "Debt and Credit Facilities" in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.

Our Senior Notes have fixed interest rates and are exposed to interest rate risk that is limited to changes in fair value. Changes in interest rates do not impact our cash flows.

**Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments**

Certain financial information about the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments is set forth under the heading "Fair Value Measurements" in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K.

We have highly liquid fixed and variable income investments classified as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are classified as cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and time deposits recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, as well as debt securities recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets. We also have highly liquid investments with original maturities of greater than three months and less than two years that are classified as short-term investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These debt securities are also recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets.

------

Changes in interest rates impact the fair value of our debt securities. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively we had $386 million and $253 million in short-term investments which were recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no material realized or unrealized gains or losses or impairment charges related to short-term investments during fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024.

Changes in interest rates also impact the interest income derived from our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. In fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, we earned interest income of $110 million and $112 million, respectively.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of The Gap, Inc.

**Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Gap, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026, February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026, February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

**Basis for Opinions**

The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

------

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

***Sales Return Allowances and Right of Returns Asset — Refer to Note 1 in the financial statements***

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

As of January 31, 2026, the Company recorded sales return allowances of $65 million within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and a right of returns asset of $30 million within other current assets. The Company establishes sales return allowances and a right of returns asset on a gross basis for expected future merchandise returns, based on historical return patterns, merchandise mix, and recent trends.

We identified sales return allowances and the right of returns asset as a critical audit matter due to the uncertainty and judgment in estimating the amount of outstanding customer returns as of the balance sheet date. A high degree of auditor judgment was required when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's estimate.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to sales return allowances and the right of returns asset included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the processes for establishing sales return allowances and the right of returns asset.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated the Company's methodologies and assumptions used to develop sales return allowances and the right of returns asset by:

–Testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the sales return allowance and the right of returns asset estimates

------

–Evaluating whether the inputs used in the estimates were relevant and consistent with evidence obtained externally and in other areas of the audit

–Testing the mathematical accuracy of the sales return allowance and the right of returns asset estimates

–Assessing the Company's ability to accurately estimate merchandise returns by comparing prior period estimates to actual merchandise returns

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We developed independent estimates of sales return allowances and the right of returns asset and compared them to the recorded amount.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**For the Fiscal Years Ended January 31, 2026, February 1, 2025, and February 3, 2024** 

**Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

**Organization**

The Gap, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a house of iconic American brands offering apparel, accessories, and personal care products for men, women, and children under the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta brands. As of January 31, 2026, we had Company-operated stores in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Taiwan. Our products are available to customers both in stores and online, through Company-operated and franchise stores, websites, and third-party arrangements. We also have franchise agreements to operate Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.

**Principles of Consolidation**

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Gap, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

**Fiscal Year and Presentation**

Our fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. The fiscal years ended January 31, 2026 (fiscal 2025) and February 1, 2025 (fiscal 2024) consisted of 52 weeks. The fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (fiscal 2023) consisted of 53 weeks.

**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. Our most significant accounting judgments include, but are not limited to, estimates and assumptions used for inventory valuation, income taxes and valuation allowances, sales return and bad debt allowances, deferred revenue, and the impairment of long-lived assets.

In fiscal 2025, the United States enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed substantial tariffs on imported goods from a number of countries. We will continue to consider the impact of these developments on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing our financial statements.

**Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments**

Cash includes funds deposited in banks and amounts in transit from banks for customer credit card and debit card transactions that process in less than seven days.

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and time deposits recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, as well as debt securities recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets.

Highly liquid investments with original maturities of greater than three months and less than two years are classified as short-term investments. These debt securities are also recorded at fair value using market prices

for identical or similar assets.

Changes in the fair value of the debt securities impact net income only when such securities are sold or an impairment is recognized. Income related to these securities is recorded within interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures related to fair value measurements.

------

**Restricted Cash**

Any cash that is legally restricted from use is classified as restricted cash. If the purpose of restricted cash is related to acquiring a long-term asset, liquidating a long-term liability, or is otherwise unavailable for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date, the restricted cash is included within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Otherwise, restricted cash is included within other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of January 31, 2026, February 1, 2025, and February 3, 2024, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for our insurance obligations and certain other obligations occurring in the normal course of business.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **January 31, <br>2026** | **February 1, <br>2025** | **February 3, <br>2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $2616 | $2335 | $1873 |
| Restricted cash included in other long-term assets | 28 | 30 | 28 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows | $2644 | $2365 | $1901 |

---

**Merchandise Inventory**

We value inventory at the LCNRV, with cost determined using the weighted-average cost method. We record an adjustment to inventory when future estimated selling price is less than cost. We review our inventory levels in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments (items no longer in stock in a sufficient range of sizes or colors) and we primarily use markdowns to clear merchandise. In addition, we estimate and accrue shortage for the period between the last physical count and the balance sheet date.

**Property and Equipment**

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>Category</u>** | **<u>Term</u>** |
| Leasehold improvements | Shorter of remaining lease term or economic life, up to 15 years |
| Furniture and equipment | Up to 10 years |
| Software | Up to 7 years |
| Buildings and building improvements | Up to 39 years |

---

When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred to implement cloud computing arrangements hosted by third-party vendors are capitalized when incurred during the application development phase and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the cloud computing arrangement. Capitalized amounts related to such arrangements are recorded within other current assets and other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Leases**

We determine if a long-term contractual obligation is a lease at inception. The majority of our operating leases relate to Company stores. We also lease some of our corporate facilities and distribution centers. These operating leases expire at various dates through fiscal 2047. The majority of our store leases have initial lease terms of five or ten years and include options that allow us to extend the lease term beyond the initial period, subject to the terms established at lease inception. Some leases also include early termination options, which can be exercised under specific conditions. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

------

We record our lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted at the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

We recognize operating lease cost over the estimated term of the lease, which includes options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised, starting when possession of the property is taken from the landlord, which normally includes a construction period prior to the store opening. When a lease contains a predetermined escalation of the fixed rent, we recognize the related operating lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, certain of our lease agreements include variable lease payments, such as payments based on a percentage of sales that are in excess of a predetermined level and/or increases based on a change in the consumer price index or fair market value. These variable lease payments are excluded from minimum lease payments and are included in the determination of net lease cost when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If an operating lease asset is impaired, the remaining operating lease asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related disclosures.

**Revenue Recognition** 

The Company's revenues primarily include merchandise sales at stores, online, and through franchise and licensing agreements. We also receive revenue sharing from our credit card agreement for private label and co-branded credit cards, and breakage revenue related to our gift cards, merchandise return cards, and outstanding loyalty points, which are realized based upon historical redemption patterns. For online sales, the Company has elected to treat shipping and handling as fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our single performance obligation related to online sales at the time control of the merchandise passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. Revenues are presented net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

We record sales return allowances and a right of returns asset on a gross basis for expected future merchandise returns, based on historical return patterns, merchandise mix, and recent trends. Sales return allowances are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the right of returns asset is recorded within other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have credit card agreements with third parties to provide our customers with private label credit cards and co-branded credit cards (collectively, the "Credit Card programs"). Each private label credit card bears the logo of Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, or Athleta and can be used at any of our U.S. store locations and online. The current co-branded credit card is a MasterCard credit card bearing the logo of Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, or Athleta and can be used everywhere MasterCard credit cards are accepted. The Credit Card programs are a part of Gap Inc.'s loyalty program where members enjoy incentives in the form of rewards which can be redeemed across all of our brands.

Barclays, a third-party financial institution, is the sole owner of the accounts and underwrites the credit issued under the Credit Card programs. Our agreement with Barclays provides for certain payments to be made to us, including a share of revenue from the performance of the credit card portfolios and reimbursements of loyalty program rewards. We have identified separate performance obligations related to our credit card agreement that includes both providing a license and an obligation to redeem loyalty points issued under the loyalty program. Our obligation to provide a license is satisfied when the subsequent sale or usage occurs and our obligation to redeem loyalty points is deferred until those loyalty points are redeemed. Income related to our credit card agreement is classified within net sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

------

We have franchise agreements to operate Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, 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. We have identified separate performance obligations related to our franchise agreements that include both providing our franchise partners with a license and an obligation to supply franchise partners with our merchandise. Our obligation to provide a license is satisfied when the subsequent sale or usage occurs and our obligation to supply franchise partners with our merchandise is satisfied when control of the merchandise transfers. We also have licensing agreements with licensees to sell products using our brand names.

We defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards, licensing agreements, outstanding loyalty points, and reimbursements of loyalty program rewards associated with our credit card agreement.

See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related revenue disclosures.

**Classification of Expenses**

Cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses include the following:

• the cost of merchandise, including duty and freight costs;

• inventory shortage and valuation adjustments;

• online shipping and packaging costs;

• cost associated with our sourcing operations, including payroll, benefits, and other administrative expenses;

• lease and other occupancy related cost, depreciation, and amortization related to our store operations, distribution centers, information technology, and certain corporate functions; and

• gains and losses associated with foreign currency derivative 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.

Operating expenses include the following:

• payroll, benefits, and other administrative expenses for our store operations, field management, and distribution centers;

• payroll, benefits, and other administrative expenses for our corporate functions, including product design and development;

• advertising expenses;

• information technology expenses and maintenance costs;

• lease and other occupancy related cost, depreciation, and amortization for our corporate facilities;

• research and development expenses;

• gains and losses associated with foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments;

• third-party credit card processing fees; and

• other expenses (income).

Payroll, benefits, and other administrative expenses for our distribution centers recorded within operating expenses were $322 million, $307 million, and $320 million in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Research and development costs described in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 730 are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily consist of payroll and related benefits attributable to time spent on research and development activities for new innovative products, technological improvements for existing products, and process innovation. Research and development expenses recorded within operating expenses under ASC 730 were $60 million, $40 million, and $37 million in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The classification of expenses varies across the apparel retail industry. Accordingly, our cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses and operating expenses may not be comparable to those of other companies.

------

**Impairment of Long-Lived 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. Events that result in an impairment review include a significant decrease in the operating performance of the long-lived asset, the decision to close a store, corporate facility, or distribution center, or adverse changes in business climate. Long-lived assets are considered impaired if the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group over the estimated remaining life. 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 generally at the store level. The asset group for retail stores is comprised of both property and equipment and operating lease assets. For impaired assets, we recognize a loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset or asset group and its estimated fair value, which is recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated fair value of the asset or asset group is based on discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. For operating lease assets, the Company determines the estimated fair value of the assets by discounting the estimated market rental rates using available valuation techniques.

See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related disclosures.

**Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets** 

We review the carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include significant changes in the business climate, declines in our operating results, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess potential impairment by considering present economic conditions as well as future expectations. If goodwill is considered impaired, we recognize a loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.

A trade name is considered impaired if the carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value. If a trade name is considered impaired, we recognize a loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the trade name. The fair value of a trade name is determined using the relief from royalty method, which requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future sales, and selecting appropriate discount rates and royalty rates.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, including the trade names, are recorded within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related disclosures.

**Advertising**

Costs associated with the production of advertising, such as photoshoot, printing, and other costs, are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with communicating advertising that has been produced, such as television, magazine, and digital and social media costs, are expensed when the advertising event takes place or is made available. Advertising expense was $778 million, $780 million, and $882 million in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and is recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Share-Based Compensation**

Share-based compensation expense for stock options and other stock awards is determined based on the grant-date fair value. For units granted, whereby shares of common stock are issued for units as they vest ("Stock Units"), the fair value is determined either based on the Company's stock price on the date of grant less future expected dividends during the vesting period or a Monte Carlo method for certain Stock Units granted with a market condition. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options; however, no stock options were issued to employees during fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023. For Stock Units and stock options, we recognize share-based compensation cost over the vesting period. We account for forfeitures as they occur. Share-based compensation expense is recorded primarily within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

------

See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related disclosures.

**Foreign Currency**

Our international subsidiaries primarily use local currencies as their functional currency and translate their assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses from their operations are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period in which the transactions occur. The resulting gains and losses from translation are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are also classified as accumulated OCI. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The aggregate transaction gains and losses recorded within operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Foreign currency transaction gain (loss) | $30 | $(37) | $(9) |
| Realized and unrealized gain (loss) from certain derivative financial instruments | (18) | 35 | 11 |
| Net foreign exchange gain (loss) | $12 | $(2) | $2 |

---

**Income Taxes**

Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Our income tax expense includes changes in our estimated liability for exposures associated with our various tax filing positions. At any point in time, many tax years are subject to or in the process of being audited by various taxing authorities. To the extent our estimates of settlements change or the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determinations are made.

The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has made an accounting policy election to treat taxes due on the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") of foreign subsidiaries as a current period expense.

**Earnings per Share**

Basic earnings per share is computed as net income divided by basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed as net income divided by diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period including common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares subject to share-based awards with exercise prices less than the average market price of our common stock for the period, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. Stock options and other stock awards that contain performance conditions are not included in the calculation of common stock equivalents until such performance conditions have been achieved.

See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related disclosures.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures, based on current information.

**Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted**

***ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related disclosures.

**Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted**

As of January 31, 2026, we had approximately $766 million of state and $603 million of foreign loss carryovers in multiple taxing jurisdictions that could be utilized to reduce tax liabilities of future years. We also had approximately $61 million of foreign tax credit carryovers as of January 31, 2026.

Approximately $628 million of state losses expire between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2045, and $138 million of the state losses do not expire. Approximately $243 million of the foreign losses expire between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2045, and $360 million of the foreign losses do not expire. The foreign tax credits begin to expire in fiscal 2029.

Valuation allowances are recorded if, based on the assessment of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management must analyze all available positive and negative evidence regarding realization of the deferred tax assets and make an assessment of the likelihood of sufficient future taxable income. We have provided valuation allowances of $311 million on certain federal, state, and foreign deferred tax assets that were not deemed realizable based upon estimates of future taxable income.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (the "OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. The Company included the impact of the OBBBA tax legislation in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the period of enactment, and the impact was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Of the total unrecognized tax benefits as of January 31, 2026, February 1, 2025, and February 3, 2024, approximately $373 million, $354 million, and $325 million, respectively, represents the amount that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.

During fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, net interest expense of $22 million, $17 million, and $4 million, respectively, has been recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to income tax liabilities.

As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company had total accrued interest related to income tax liabilities of $88 million and $66 million, respectively. There were no accrued penalties related to income tax liabilities as of January 31, 2026 or February 1, 2025.

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 also are no longer subject to U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2010.

The IRS has examined the Company's federal income tax returns and has sought to disallow research credits for tax years 2009 through 2013. Having exhausted all administrative avenues, the Company filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court on December 20, 2024. The Company believes the research credits taken are appropriate and intends to defend its position. The gross amount of research credits at issue for tax years 2009 through 2013 is approximately $41 million.

As of January 31, 2026, the aggregate estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $1.41 billion and was based on the quoted market prices for each of the Senior Notes (level 1 inputs) as of the last business day of the fiscal year. The aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes is recorded in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of the unamortized debt issuance costs.

Our ABL Facility has a $2.2 billion borrowing capacity and generally bears interest at a per annum rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (subject to a zero floor) plus a margin, depending on borrowing base availability. The ABL Facility is scheduled to expire in July 2027 and is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes.

------

There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025.

We also have the ability to issue letters of credit on our ABL Facility. As of January 31, 2026, we had $45 million in standby letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility.

The Senior Notes contain covenants that may limit the Company's ability to, among other things: (i) grant or incur liens and (ii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by each of our existing wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under our existing ABL Facility. These guarantees also extend to each of our future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under any credit facility of the Company, any guarantor, a guarantor of capital markets debt of the Company, or any guarantor in an aggregate principal amount in excess of a certain amount.

The ABL Facility is secured by specified U.S. and Canadian assets, including a first lien on inventory, certain receivables, and related assets. The ABL Facility contains customary covenants restricting the Company's activities, as well as those of its subsidiaries, including limitations on the ability to sell assets, engage in mergers or other fundamental changes, enter into capital leases or certain leases not in the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions involving related parties or derivatives, incur or prepay indebtedness, grant liens or negative pledges on its assets, make loans or other investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock or other securities, guarantee third-party obligations, engage in sale and lease-back transactions and make changes in its corporate structure. There are exceptions to these covenants, and some are only applicable when unused availability falls below specified thresholds. In addition, the ABL Facility includes, as a financial covenant, a springing fixed charge coverage ratio which arises when availability falls below a specified threshold.

**Note 7. Fair Value Measurements**

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon a three-level hierarchy that considers the related valuation techniques.

There were no material purchases, sales, issuances, or settlements related to recurring level 3 measurements during fiscal 2025 or 2024.

**Financial Assets and Liabilities**

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and cash equivalents are as follows:

We have highly liquid fixed and variable income investments classified as cash equivalents and short-term investments. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and time deposits recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, as well as debt securities recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets. We also have highly liquid investments with original maturities of greater than three months and less than two years that are classified as short-term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These debt securities are also recorded at fair value using market prices for identical or similar assets.

There were no material realized or unrealized gains or losses or impairment charges related to short-term investments during fiscal 2025 or 2024.

Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. See Note 8 of Notes to 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 annual 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 within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding employee benefit plans.

**Nonfinancial Assets**

Long-lived assets, which for us primarily consist of property and equipment and operating lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The estimated fair value of the long-lived assets is based on discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the risk. For operating lease assets, the Company determines the estimated fair value of the assets by comparing discounted contractual rent payments to estimated market rental rates using available valuation techniques. These fair value measurements qualify as level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.

There were no material impairment charges recorded for long-lived assets during fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023.

See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the impairment of long-lived assets.

------

**Note 8. 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, Japanese yen, British pound, New Taiwan dollar, and Euro. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as other current assets, other long-term assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, or other long-term liabilities.

**Cash Flow Hedges**

We designate foreign exchange 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 as cash flow hedges. The foreign exchange forward contracts entered into to hedge forecasted merchandise purchases and related costs generally have terms of up 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 and is recognized into net income during the period in which the underlying transaction impacts the 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period and generally offset each other.

No material share-based compensation expense was capitalized in fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023.

There were no material modifications made to our outstanding stock options and Stock Units in fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023.

**General Description of Stock Option and Stock Unit Plans**

The 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") was last amended and restated in July 2024. Under the 2016 Plan, nonqualified stock options and Stock Units are granted to officers, directors, eligible employees, and consultants at exercise prices or initial values equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant or as determined by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board.

As of January 31, 2026, there were 311,586,781 shares that have been authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan.

**Stock Units**

Under the 2016 Plan, Stock Units are granted to employees and members of the Board. Vesting generally occurs over a period of three to four years of continued service by the employee in equal annual installments for the majority of the Stock Units granted. Vesting is immediate in the case of members of the Board.

In some cases, Stock Unit vesting is also subject to the attainment of pre-determined performance metrics and the satisfaction of market conditions ("Performance Shares") over a three-year performance period. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the probability that the Performance Shares will vest. We record share-based compensation expense on an accelerated basis over a period of three to four years once granted, based on the grant-date fair value and the probability that the pre-determined performance metrics will be achieved. We use the Monte Carlo method to calculate the grant-date fair value of Performance Shares containing a market condition. The Monte Carlo method incorporates option-pricing model inputs to value the Performance Shares and estimate the total shareholder return ranking among our peer group.

A summary of Stock Unit activity under the 2016 Plan for fiscal 2025 is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Shares** | **Weighted-Average<br>Grant-Date<br>Fair Value Per Share** |

The aggregate intrinsic value of unvested Stock Units as of January 31, 2026 was $477 million.

As of January 31, 2026, there was $200 million (before any related tax benefit) of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested Stock Units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. Total unrecognized share-based compensation expense may be adjusted for future forfeitures as they occur.

**Stock Options**

We have stock options outstanding under the 2016 Plan. Stock options generally expire the earlier of 10 years from the grant date, three months after employee termination, or one year after the date of an employee's retirement or death. Vesting generally occurs over a period of four years of continued service by the employee, with 25 percent vesting on each of the four anniversary dates.

There were no stock options issued to employees during fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023.

**Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

Under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), eligible U.S. and Canadian employees are able to purchase our common stock at 85 percent of the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the last day of the three-month purchase periods. Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized for an amount equal to the 15 percent discount. Employees pay for their stock purchases through payroll deductions at a rate equal to any whole percentage from 1 percent to 15 percent. There were 963,596, 935,816, and 1,945,332 shares issued under the ESPP in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of January 31, 2026, there were 8,737,120 shares reserved for future issuances under the ESPP.

------

During fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, non-cash operating lease asset activity, net of remeasurements and modifications, was $841 million, $784 million, and $544 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the minimum lease commitment amount for operating leases signed but not yet commenced, primarily for retail stores, was $212 million and $59 million, respectively. The increase is primarily related to a retail store lease in Herald Square, New York City.

As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the weighted-average remaining operating lease term was 7.5 years and 7.2 years, respectively, and the weighted-average discount rate was 6.4 percent for operating leases recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company's finance leases were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures related to leases.

**Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans**

We have two qualified defined contribution retirement plans, the GapShare 401(k) Plan and the GapShare Puerto Rico Plan (the "GapShare Plans"), which are available to employees who meet the eligibility requirements. The GapShare Plans permit eligible employees to make contributions up to the maximum limits allowable under the applicable Internal Revenue Codes. Under the GapShare Plans, we match, in cash, all or a portion of employees' contributions under a predetermined formula. Our contributions vest immediately. Our matching contributions to the GapShare Plans were $49 million, $48 million, and $49 million in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

We maintain the Gap, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows eligible employees to defer base compensation and annual 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 within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the assets related to the DCP were $42 million and $36 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the corresponding liabilities related to the DCP were $42 million and $36 million, respectively, and were recorded within other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We match all or a portion of employees' contributions under a predetermined formula. Plan investments are elected by the participants, and investment returns are not guaranteed by the Company. Our matching contributions to the DCP in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023 were not material.

**Note 13. Earnings per Share**

Weighted-average number of shares used for earnings per share is as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **(shares in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Weighted-average number of shares—basic | 373 | 376 | 370 |
| Common stock equivalents | 11 | 8 | 6 |
| Weighted-average number of shares—diluted | 384 | 384 | 376 |

---

The anti-dilutive shares related to stock options and Stock Units excluded from computations of weighted-average number of shares—diluted were 2 million, 2 million, and 6 million for fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

**Note 14. 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 guarantees, 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 the Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

As a multinational company, we are subject to various Actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual, tax, and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of January 31, 2026, 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. In addition, we have filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court to defend research credits taken in prior years. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. Actions are in various procedural stages and some are covered in part by insurance. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, 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 January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025 was not material for any individual Action or in total. Subsequent to January 31, 2026 and through the filing date of March 17, 2026, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to the 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 the Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

------

**Note 15. Segment Information**

We identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of January 31, 2026, our operating segments included: Old Navy Global, Gap Global, Banana Republic Global, and Athleta Global. Each of our brands serves customer demand through our store and franchise channel and our online channel, leveraging our omni-channel capabilities that allow customers to shop seamlessly across all of our brands. Additionally, our products, suppliers, customers, methods of distribution, and regulatory environment are similar across our brands. We have determined that each of our operating segments share similar qualitative and economic characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment as of January 31, 2026. 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.

Gap Inc.'s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews measures of segment profit by comparing budgeted versus actual and forecasted results for purposes of assessing performance, allocating resources, and making decisions. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in total.

The following table presents information for segment profit and significant expenses:

**Note 16. Divestitures**

On November 7, 2022, we signed agreements to transition our Gap China and Gap Taiwan operations to a third party, Baozun Inc., to operate Gap China and Gap Taiwan 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 Inc. On August 27, 2025, the parties reached a decision to not proceed with the transition of Gap's operations in Taiwan.

**Note 17. Supply Chain Finance Program**

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.

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. These collateral amounts, if applicable, are classified as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no collateral amounts under the SCF program as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025. Additionally, our lenders under the ABL Facility who also participate in the SCF program have their related financings secured pursuant to the terms of the ABL Facility.

The Company's outstanding obligations under the SCF program were $390 million and $387 million as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively, and were included in accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A rollforward of our outstanding obligations under the SCF program is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Year** | **Fiscal Year** |
| **($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Obligations outstanding at beginning of fiscal year | $387 | $373 |
| Invoices added during the fiscal year | 2604 | 2685 |
| Invoices settled during the fiscal year | (2601) | (2671) |
| Obligations outstanding at end of fiscal year | $390 | $387 |

**Note 18. Subsequent Events**

Effective February 27, 2026, the Company entered into settlement agreements to resolve credit card interchange fee litigation matters in which we were a plaintiff. As a result of this settlement, we received a lump-sum settlement of $313 million, net of legal fees, and will record a gain in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed under the IEEPA. Subsequently, new tariffs were imposed pursuant to alternative statutory authority and are scheduled to expire after 150 days absent Congressional authorization. Given the evolving trade policy environment, the Company is monitoring the impact of these actions on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

**Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* (released in 2013). Based on the assessment, management concluded that as of January 31, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

## Exhibit 4.4

**Exhibit 4.4**

**DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES** 

**REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF** 

**THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934**

*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Gap, Inc. ("Gap", the "Company," "our" and "us") has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: our common stock. The following summary of the terms of our common stock is based upon our Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") and our Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws"). This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to, the applicable provisions of our <u>[Certificate of Incorporation](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/39911/000003991124000179/exhibit31-restatedcertific.htm)</u> and our <u>[Bylaws](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/39911/000003991122000071/exhibit33amendedandrestate.htm)</u>, which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") for more information.*

**DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK**

**Authorized Capital Shares**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 2,300,000,000 shares of common stock and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. As of March 17, 2026, no shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, which is convertible into shares of common stock on a share-for-share basis. Transfer of the shares of Class B common stock is restricted. In addition, the holders of the Class B common stock have six votes per share on most matters and are entitled to a lower cash dividend. As of March 17, 2026, no shares of Class B common stock are issued or outstanding, and we are not permitted to issue shares of Class B common stock as long as our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

**Voting Rights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise provided by law, holders of our common stock have voting rights on the basis of one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, subject to any class or series voting rights of holders of our preferred stock. Our stockholders may not cumulate votes in elections of directors. As a result, the holders of our common stock and (if issued) preferred stock entitled to exercise more than 50% of the voting rights in an election of directors can elect all of the directors to be elected if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining common stock and preferred stock voting for the election of directors will not be able to elect any persons to the board of directors.

**Dividend Rights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of our common stock, subject to any prior rights or preferences of preferred stock outstanding, have equal rights to receive dividends if and when declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

**Liquidation Rights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after payment of all prior claims, holders of our common stock would be entitled to receive any of our remaining assets, subject to any preferential rights of holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock.

**Other Rights and Preferences**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock or any of our other securities, nor do holders of our common stock have any redemption or conversion rights.

**Listing**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "GAP."

**Transfer Agent**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Equiniti Trust Company.

**Effect of Certain Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain of the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the DGCL could discourage a proxy contest or the acquisition of control of a substantial block of our stock. These provisions could also have the effect of discouraging a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Gap, even though an attempt to obtain control of Gap might be beneficial to Gap and its stockholders.

**Preferred Stock**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As noted above, the rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may be affected by the rights, preferences and privileges granted to holders of preferred stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any additional series of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until the Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of that series. However, the effects might include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restricting dividends on the common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Diluting the voting power of the common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delaying or preventing a change in control of Gap without further action by the stockholders.

**Charter and Bylaw Provisions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election of directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Bylaws include an exclusive forum provision. This provision provides that, unless Gap consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions or proceedings involving us shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Such suits will include (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Gap, (2) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of Gap to the Company or its stockholders, (3) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against Gap arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or (4) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against Gap governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

**Certain Transactions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Delaware law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation related to business combinations may only be amended by an affirmative vote of the holders of 66-2/3% or more of the outstanding voting stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that business combinations with interested stockholders will require the supermajority vote of 66-2/3% of the voting power of all classes of Gap's voting stock, voting together as a single class (with each share of Class B common stock having two votes per share), to approve such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An "interested stockholder" is defined in our Certificate of Incorporation as a person (other than our subsidiaries) who or which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the voting power of (a) all outstanding shares of common stock, (b) all outstanding shares of Class B common stock or (c) all outstanding shares with voting rights;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Is our affiliate and at any time within the two-year period before the date in question owned or was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the voting power of (a) all outstanding shares of common stock, (b) all outstanding shares of Class B common stock or (c) all outstanding shares with voting rights; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Is an assignee of or has otherwise succeeded to (by means other than through a public offering) any shares of our stock with voting rights which were owned by an interested stockholder at any time in the preceding two years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A "business combination" is defined in our Certificate of Incorporation to mean:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A merger or consolidation of us or any of our subsidiaries with an interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A merger or consolidation of us or any of our subsidiaries with another corporation which, after such merger or consolidation, would be an affiliate of an interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of our property or the property of any of our subsidiaries representing 5% or more of our overall book value to an interested stockholder or an affiliate thereof, or the issuance or transfer by us to an interested stockholder or an affiliate thereof of our securities, or the securities of any of our subsidiaries, in exchange for cash, securities or other property having such fair market value; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any recapitalization or reclassification of our securities, or any merger or consolidation, that has the effect of increasing the voting power of an interested stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A business combination will not need to receive the supermajority vote described above if it meets one of the following tests:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The business combination is approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors who are not affiliated with the interested stockholder and who were Board members prior to the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder or who were recommended by a majority of such Board members; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder in the business combination meets various tests designed to ensure that the form and amount of consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is fair to the other stockholders.

**Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, Section 203 defines "business combination" to include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of either the assets or outstanding stock of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, Section 203 defines "interested stockholder" as an entity or person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

**Initial Annual Restricted Stock Unit Awards.** Under the Gap Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Stock Plan"), effective on your first day of employment with Gap, Inc (the "Date of Grant"), you will be granted Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") covering shares of Gap Inc. common stock ("Common Stock") having a grant value of $1,400,000, subject to the provisions of the Stock Plan and Gap, Inc.'s standard form of stock grant agreement. The number of shares will be determined by dividing the grant dollar value by the 20-trading day simple average of the closing price of one share prior to the Date of Grant with such number rounded down to the nearest share. Awards are in the form of units that are paid in Common Stock upon vesting. The award will become vested over 4 years (25% per year) on each anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided you are employed by Gap Inc. on the vesting date. Awards are generally subject to income and employment tax withholding upon settlement.

**Initial Annual Performance Restricted Stock Units Awards.** Under the Stock Plan, subject to the approval of the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the "Committee"), you will be granted performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") for the fiscal 2024-2026 performance cycle covering a target number of shares of Common Stock with a grant value of $2,100,000. Such PRSU grant will be granted effective on the same date (expected to be in March 2024) as PRSU grants to the Company's executive officers for fiscal 2024-2026 performance cycle (the "PRSU Date of Grant"). The number of target shares granted will be determined by dividing the grant dollar value by the 20-trading day simple average of the closing price of one share prior to the PRSU Date of Grant with such number rounded down to the nearest share. The PRSUs described in this paragraph shall otherwise be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Gap Inc. PRSUs covering the fiscal 2024 through 2026 performance period expected to be granted by the Committee to the Company's executive officers. Payout is subject to certification by the Committee and the provisions of the Stock Plan and standard form of performance stock grant agreement and earned shares vest 50% on the date the Committee certifies attainment and 50% one year from the certification date provided you are employed by Gap Inc. on the vesting dates.

You will not be eligible for additional equity awards until fiscal 2025. For fiscal 2025, subject to Committee approval, you will be eligible to participate in the Executive Officer Long-Term Incentive Program. The value and form of LTI are subject to change each year. Gap Inc. has the right to modify the program at any time. Committee discretion can be used to modify the final share amount. Shares are subject to applicable income tax withholding.

**Financial Counseling Program.** To help you achieve your financial goals, we currently offer a financial counseling program through The Ayco Company, L.P., a Goldman Sachs Company. Ayco's financial counselors have comprehensive information regarding Gap Inc.'s benefit and compensation plan design.

Domestic Relocation Policy provided that you relocate to the San Francisco area within 12 months of the Start Date. As part of the provision of this relocation package, it is expected that you will remain employed with the Company for a period of at least 2 years from your move date. We have also attached a Summary of Relocation Benefits ("Summary") as Appendix A, which provides an overview of key aspects of the Move Policy.

Except for any compensation received from external board memberships in place at the time of your Separation from Service, payments will be reduced by any compensation you receive (as received) during the severance period from other employment or professional relationship with a non-competitor. Each payment will be treated as a separate payment for purposes of IRC Section 409A, to the maximum extent possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Through the end of the period in which you are receiving payments under paragraph (1) above or shorter period you are covered by COBRA, if you properly elect and maintain COBRA coverage, payment of a portion of your COBRA premium in a method as determined by the Company. This payment may be taxable income to you and subject to tax withholding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's payment of the monthly COBRA premium shall cease immediately if the Company determines in its discretion that paying such monthly COBRA premium would result in the Company being in violation of, or incurring any fine, penalty, or excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, any penalty imposed for violation of the nondiscrimination requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or guidance issued thereunder, or any similar law or regulation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Through the end of the period in which you are receiving payments under paragraph (1) above, reimbursement for your costs to maintain the same or comparable financial counseling program the Company provides to senior executives in effect at the time of your Separation from Service. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year. Reimbursement shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the reimbursement is incurred but not later than the end of the second calendar year following the calendar year of your Separation from Service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Prorated Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, on the condition that you have worked at least 3 months of the fiscal year in which you are terminated, based on actual financial results and 100% standard for any non-financial component. Such bonus will be paid in March of the year following termination at the time Annual Bonuses for the year of termination are paid, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the later of the end of the Company's taxable year or the end of the calendar year in which such termination occurs. In the event termination occurs after the end of a fiscal year but before the date of bonus

payments, such bonus for the preceding fiscal year will be paid pursuant to the terms of this section and the terms of the bonus plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Accelerated vesting (but not settlement) of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance shares that remain subject only to time vesting conditions (excluding any performance shares that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions) scheduled to vest prior to April 1 following the end of the fiscal year of termination. Shares of the Company stock in settlement of any vested RSUs and/or performance shares under this section will be delivered on the applicable regularly scheduled vesting dates subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement including, without limitation, the IRC Section 409A six-month delay language thereunder to the extent necessary to avoid taxation under IRC Section 409A.

The payments in (1), (3), (4) and (5) above are, and the payment described in (2) above may be, taxable income to you and are subject to tax withholding. If the aggregate amount that would be payable to you under paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) above through the date which is six months after your Separation from Service (excluding amounts exempt from IRC Section 409A under the short-term deferral rule thereunder or Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)) exceeds the limit under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) and you are a "specified employee" under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i) on the date of your Separation from Service, then the excess will be paid to you no earlier than the date which is six months after the date of such separation (or such earlier time permitted under IRC Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)). This delay will only be imposed to the extent required to avoid the tax for which you would otherwise be liable under IRC Section 409A(a)(1)(B). Any delayed payment instead will be made on the first business day following the expiration of the six-month period, as applicable (or such earlier time permitted under IRC Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)). Payments that are not delayed will be paid in accordance with their terms determined without regard to such delay.

The term "For Cause" shall mean a good faith determination by the Company that your employment be terminated for any of the following reasons: (1) indictment, conviction or admission of any crimes involving theft, fraud or moral turpitude; (2) engaging in gross neglect of duties, including willfully failing or refusing to implement or follow direction of the Company; (3) breaching Gap Inc.'s policies and procedures, including but not limited to the Code of Business Conduct; where applicable, the Company shall provide reasonable notice of any breach and opportunity to remediate.

At any time, if you voluntarily resign your employment from Gap Inc. or your employment is terminated For Cause, you will receive no compensation, payment or benefits after your last day of employment. If your employment terminates for any reason, you will not be entitled to any payments, benefits or compensation other than as provided in this letter.

Gap Inc. Securities Compliance Manual – January 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

**Purpose**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Securities Law Compliance Manual (this "Manual"), and the accompanying attachments, contain important information regarding your obligations to comply with Gap Inc.'s (the "Company's") blackout periods when trading in Gap Inc. stock. This Manual also reminds you of the prohibition on trading on inside information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any actions in violation of this Manual will be grounds for appropriate disciplinary action, including termination of employment, or in the case of directors, being asked to resign from the Board of Directors or not being renominated, whether or not the action results in a violation of law, recovery of damages, and the filing of criminal charges. In determining the appropriate consequences resulting from a violation of this Manual, any number of factors, which may include individual culpability, individual cooperation, any past violations, consistency with the consequences for other violations, the extent of harm caused to the Company, the availability of restitution, any penalties assessed by regulators, and the need for deterrence, will be considered.

**Persons Subject to this Manual**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are receiving this Manual because you are on the Company's Insider List and, therefore, you are subject to the Company's "blackout period" policy. This Manual also applies to your family members, other members of your household, and entities controlled by you. For more information, see Transactions Subject to this Manual below.

There are generally four reasons you may be included on the Insider List: (1) you are at the Vice President level or above within the Company, (2) you are a member of the Company's Board of Directors (referred to as a director in this Manual), (3) your role within the Company requires access to certain Company-wide financial information, or (4) you are working on a special project or you hold a special role within the Company that provides you with access to sensitive nonpublic information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also note that employees who are not subject to this Manual still are subject to insider trading restrictions to the extent that they possess material nonpublic information. Please see the Company's Insider Trading Policy (<u>Attachment A</u>), which applies to all employees, directors, and other designated insiders.

**Transactions Subject to this Manual**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Manual applies to transactions in the Company's securities (collectively referred to in this Manual as "Company Securities"), including the Company's common stock, options to purchase common stock, or any other type of securities that the Company may issue, including (but not limited to) preferred stock, convertible notes, debt securities and warrants, as well as derivative securities that are not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded put or call options or swaps relating to the Company's securities. For purposes of this Manual, Company Securities also include the Company's publicly-traded debt.

<u>Transactions by Family Members and Others.</u> This Manual applies to your family members who reside with you (including a spouse, a child, a child away at college, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws), anyone else who lives in your household, and any family members who do not live in your household but whose transactions in Gap Inc. stock are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control (e.g., parents or adult children who consult with you before they trade in Gap Inc. stock). You are responsible for the transactions of these other persons and, therefore, you should make them aware of the need to confer with you before they trade in Gap Inc. stock. You should treat all such transactions for purposes of this Manual and applicable securities laws as if the transactions were for your own account.

Gap Inc. Securities Compliance Manual – January 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

<u>Transactions by Entities that You Influence or Control.</u> This Manual applies to any entities that you influence or control, including any corporations, partnerships or trusts. Transactions by these entities should be treated for the purposes of this Manual and applicable securities laws as if these transactions were for your own account.

**Trading on Inside Information**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a Company insider, you are subject to certain rules that may limit your ability to buy, sell or gift Company Securities. The principal rule – Rule 10b-5 – prevents you from buying or selling Company Securities when you are aware of "material" information about the Company not known to the public. The essence of Rule 10b-5 can be simply stated: Any person who is aware of "material nonpublic information" (also referred to as inside information) about the Company <u>must not trade in, or advise others to trade in</u>, Company Securities while such information remains undisclosed to the public. Rule 10b-5 also prevents you from gifting Company Securities when you are aware of material non-public information if you know the recipient will sell the Company Securities while such information remains undisclosed to the public. Any person violating this rule may be subject to criminal and civil liability. Please review the Company's Insider Trading Policy in <u>Attachment A</u>.

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The main point for you to remember is that before you (or any family member living with you, any family member whose transactions in Gap Inc. are subject to your influence or control, any other members of your household, or any related entity) buy, sell, or gift Gap Inc. stock, or any other Company Securities, (i) you must be sure that you are not aware of any material nonpublic information, AND (ii) you must follow the pre-clearance instructions below to ensure there is no trading blackout in effect.**

| **Trading Pre-Clearance Instructions** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Be sure you are not personally aware of material nonpublic information.**<br>**AND**<br>**Send an email to [ ]. An auto-reply email will indicate if a blackout period is in effect or if trading is allowed.**<br>**The Gap Inc. Senior Leadership Team, <u>Finance</u> Vice Presidents and above, and the Board of Directors must also always contact [ ] for trading clearance.**<br>**PLEASE NOTE: The presence or absence of a trading restriction on your E\*TRADE Stock Plans account should not be used to determine whether a trading blackout is in effect or to substitute following the Trading Pre-Clearance Instructions above.** |

---

**Blackout Policy**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All recipients of this Manual are subject to the Company's policy prohibiting trading during certain periods. The periods when trading is prohibited are referred to as "blackout periods." The blackout periods are set on the basis of when the Company anticipates that it will issue press releases concerning its earnings results. Before the Company has publicly disclosed current information about its financial results, it is more likely that employees and directors may be aware of material nonpublic information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The blackout periods are designed to facilitate your long-term financial planning and to avoid the inconvenience of learning on short notice that you are unable to sell Company stock. However, please note that blackout periods may be extended or invoked during unscheduled periods and without prior notice. **Accordingly, <u>even if</u> your intended transaction falls outside a scheduled blackout period, you may not buy, sell or gift shares of the Company's stock unless you follow the Trading Pre-Clearance Instructions outlined above.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The current trading calendar with blackout periods is included in this Manual as <u>Attachment B</u>. The days when trading is <u>not</u> allowed (the blackout periods) are shaded on the calendar. There may be some variations from the dates

Gap Inc. Securities Compliance Manual – January 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

on this calendar due to unpredictable changes in the issuance of press releases. In addition, business developments may necessitate that a blackout period be extended or invoked (i.e., that people not trade during an unshaded period). Non-blackout periods on the calendar are only predictions made in advance about when employees and directors may not be aware of material nonpublic information. **Remember that no employee or director may trade in or gift Gap Inc. stock, or any other Company Securities, during any period, even during non-blackout periods, if s/he is aware of material nonpublic information.** Therefore, you should view this calendar only as a planning guide to identify periods when you <u>may</u> be able to buy, sell or gift Gap Inc. stock or any other Company securities. For more information, please see the Insider Trading Policy included in this Manual as <u>Attachment A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Note that should you leave Gap Inc. during a blackout period, you remain subject to the Blackout Policy until the next non-blackout period.**

**Prohibited Transactions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if the persons subject to this Manual engage in the following types of transactions:

<u>Standing Orders.</u> Unless part of a 10b5-1 plan described below, standing orders are prohibited (e.g., limit orders or stop-loss orders) because they allow a broker to buy or sell when the stock hits a specific price and leave you with no control over timing of the transaction. A standing order executed by the broker when you are aware of material nonpublic information could result in unlawful insider trading.

<u>Short Sales.</u> Generally, a short sale involves selling shares that you do not own at a specified price with the expectation that the price will go down so you can buy the shares at a lower price before you have to deliver them. Short sales of the Company's stock (i.e., the sale of a security that the seller does not own) may evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore have the potential to signal to the market that the seller lacks confidence in the Company's prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce a seller's incentive to seek to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, all recipients of this Manual are prohibited from short selling or similar transactions in the Company's stock. You may not engage in any short sale, "sale against the box" or any equivalent transaction involving the Company's stock. In addition, Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act prohibits Section 16 officers and directors from engaging in short sales.

<u>Hedging.</u> All recipients of this Manual are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions related to the Company's stock. Hedging or monetization transactions can be accomplished through a number of possible mechanisms, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. Such hedging transactions may permit someone to continue to own the Company's stock obtained through employee benefit plans or otherwise but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the person may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other shareholders.

<u>Publicly-Traded Derivatives</u><u>.</u> Given the relatively short-term nature of publicly-traded derivatives, transactions in derivatives may create the appearance that you are trading based on material nonpublic information and focus your attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives. Accordingly, all recipients of this Manual are prohibited from engaging in transactions in Company put options, call options or other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market.

<u>Margin Accounts and Pledged Securities</u><u>.</u> The Company's Senior Leadership Team and Board of Directors are prohibited from holding Company stock in a margin account as collateral for a margin loan or otherwise pledging Company stock as collateral.

Gap Inc. Securities Compliance Manual – January 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Rule 10b5-1**

Rule 10b5-1 allows you under certain conditions to trade in Gap Inc. stock and at the same time assert an affirmative defense to any allegation of insider trading. In December 2022, the SEC amended Rule 10b5-1 to add new conditions to the availability of the rule's affirmative defense and impose disclosure requirements for members of the Board of Directors and Section 16 officers.

The Company's Rule 10b5-1 policy enables Company insiders to establish a trading program (called a 10b5-1 plan) to benefit from the rule. 10b5-1 plans can facilitate greater long-term financial planning and diversification for Company insiders and permit transactions in Gap Inc. stock during blackout periods. They also require advance planning and approval by the Company. More detail on Rule 10b5-1 and the Company's approval requirements for 10b5-1 plans are discussed in <u>Attachment C</u>.

**Anti-Trust Law**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the United States antitrust laws, notification of certain acquisitions of Gap Inc. stock must be filed with the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice by both the acquiring person and the Company prior to the purchase or grant of such stock. Annually these agencies update the dollar threshold for acquisitions requiring notification. This includes grants of restricted stock and shares acquired through the exercise of options and settlement of restricted stock units even if the shares are sold immediately. For more information regarding these notification requirements, please contact [ ] in the Legal department.

**The Gap, Inc.**

**<u>Insider Trading Policy</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You may become aware of material nonpublic or "inside" information about Gap Inc. or about another company with which Gap Inc. has a business relationship in the performance of your job. If so, you must hold that information in the strictest confidence and refrain from buying or selling (or telling others to buy or sell) any stock of Gap Inc. or of the other company until the information is publicly disclosed. Buying or selling stock before the information is publicly disclosed could be "insider trading"; disclosing the information to anyone else could be "tipping." You also may not gift any stock of Gap Inc. or of the other company if you know the recipient will sell the stock while such information remains undisclosed to the public. Any of these actions could result in both civil and criminal liability for you and the Company and cause a substantial loss of confidence in the Company and its stock on the part of the public and the securities markets. In addition, any violation of this policy will be grounds for appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, or in the case of directors, being asked to resign from the Board of Directors or not being renominated. In addition, Gap Inc. will not transact in its own securities, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

**Definition of Insiders** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This policy applies to all "insiders." An insider is <u>any</u> person (even someone not employed by or providing services to the Company) who is aware of material information regarding the Company that has not been fully disclosed to the public. A person can be an "insider" for a limited period of time with respect to certain material information even though s/he may not generally be exposed to other material information. For example, an assistant who learns that earnings are significantly below expectations may be an insider with respect to that information. Anyone can be an "insider" - not just members of management or directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, insiders may be liable for improper transactions by "tippees" (i.e., people to whom they have disclosed material information regarding the Company). Therefore, except in accordance with the Company's Disclosure Policy, you must not disclose any sensitive or confidential information to anyone outside of the Company. You should also not disclose such information, in writing or casually, to any other employee, director or agent unless that employee, director or agent has a need to know the information in order to perform his or her job.

**Definition of Material Information** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is not possible to define all categories of material information. Information should be regarded as material if there is a likelihood that it would be considered important by an investor in making a decision regarding the purchase or sale of the Company's stock. While it may be difficult under this standard to determine whether certain information is material, there are various categories of information that would almost always be regarded as material, such as: unanticipated significant changes in the level of earnings, sales, inventory, margins, or expenses; proposed changes in dividends; planned stock splits; new equity or debt offerings; significant proposed acquisitions; significant management changes; significant cybersecurity risks and incidents; and similar matters. As a general rule, if the information makes you think of buying or selling the Company's stock, it may have the same effect on others and probably constitutes material information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have questions as to the materiality of information, or if you think you might be regarded as an insider with respect to certain information, you should contact the Legal department <u>prior</u> to engaging in any transaction in Gap Inc. stock.

**Definition of Public Disclosure** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adequate public disclosure requires that the information be widely disclosed (such as to the national wire services through a press release or on the SEC's EDGAR filing system) and that a sufficient period of time elapse for the information to be effectively disseminated to stockholders. There are no formal rules regarding what is adequate public disclosure. As a general rule, information should not be considered fully absorbed by the marketplace until at least one full trading day has passed since the information was released. For example, if the Company were to make an announcement on Monday before the market opens, you should not trade in the Company's stock until Tuesday; however, if the Company were to make an announcement on Monday after market close, you should not trade in the Company's stock until Wednesday.

**Penalties for Trading on Inside Information**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purchase or sale of securities while aware of material nonpublic information, or the disclosure of material nonpublic information to others who then trade in the Company's stock, is prohibited by the federal and state laws. Insider trading violations are pursued vigorously by the SEC, U.S. Attorneys, and state enforcement authorities, as well as the authorities of foreign jurisdictions. Punishment for insider trading violations is severe, and could include significant fines and imprisonment. While the regulatory authorities concentrate their efforts on the individuals who trade, or who tip insider information to others who trade, the federal securities laws also impose potential liability on companies and other "controlling persons" if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent insider trading by company personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, an individual's failure to comply with this Policy may subject the individual to Company-imposed sanctions, including dismissal for cause, or in the case of directors, being asked to resign from the Board of Directors or not being renominated, whether or not the employee's or director's failure to comply results in a violation of law, recovery of damages, and the filing of criminal charges. In determining the appropriate consequences resulting from a violation of this Policy, any number of factors, which may include individual culpability, individual cooperation, any past violations, consistency with the consequences for other violations, the extent of harm caused to the Company, the availability of restitution, any penalties assessed by regulators, and the need for deterrence, will be considered.

**Individual Responsibility** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Persons subject to this Policy have ethical and legal obligations to maintain the confidentiality of information about the Company and to not engage in transactions in the Company's stock while in possession of material nonpublic information. Each individual is responsible for making sure that he or she complies with this Policy, and that any family member, household member or entity whose transactions are subject to this Policy, also comply with this Policy. In all cases, the responsibility for determining whether an individual is in possession of material nonpublic information rests with that individual, and any action on the part of the Company, or any other employee or director pursuant to this Policy (or otherwise) does not in any way constitute legal advice or insulate an individual from liability under applicable securities laws. You could be subject to severe legal penalties and disciplinary action by the Company for any conduct prohibited by this Policy or applicable securities laws, as described above.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Almost No Exceptions** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are almost no exceptions to the prohibition against insider trading. For example, courts have held that it does not matter that the transaction in question may have been planned or committed to before the insider came into possession of the material information, or that the insider will suffer economic loss as a consequence of not trading. In addition, it does not matter whether the person intended to violate the law or whether the person knew the information was material nonpublic information. Also, there are no limits on the size of a transaction that will trigger insider trading liability; relatively small trades have in the past resulted in SEC investigations and lawsuits.

Gap Inc. Securities Compliance Manual – November 2024

**<u>Attachment C</u>**

**<u>Rule 10b5-1: Insider Trading Plans</u>**

**(Securities Exchange Act of 1934)**

Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 allows you under certain conditions to trade in Gap Inc. stock and at the same time assert an affirmative defense to any allegation of insider trading liability that may result from such trades. Rule 10b5-1 makes it legally possible for Company insiders to trade in Gap Inc. stock even when aware of inside information. This can enable you to establish a regular trading plan that can facilitate long-term financial planning and diversification.

Rule 10b5-1 permits public company insiders to establish, at a time when they are not aware of material nonpublic information, a written trading program (called a Rule 10b5-1 plan) for future transactions in their company's stock. In short, you must set the amount to be traded, the price at which the trades are to be executed, and the dates of trading, or provide some kind of written formula for determining these items. You and your broker or financial advisor are in the best position to determine what meets your financial needs. Trades are then executed pursuant to this pre-established written plan. However, the purpose of a Rule 10b5-1 plan is not to enable you to time your trades to market fluctuations, but rather to permit you to identify specific times to trade in the future and the quantity of stock to be sold, and also to establish formula prices or events that would trigger a sale.

Rule 10b5-1 only provides an "affirmative defense" (which must be proven by you) in the event there is an insider trading claim. It does not prevent someone from bringing a lawsuit or prevent the media from writing about your sales.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In order to take advantage of the Rule 10b5-1 affirmative defense to insider trading liability:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You must not be aware of material nonpublic information when you adopt or amend your Rule 10b5-1 plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You must not exercise subsequent influence over your Rule 10b5-1 plan or its trading instructions after the plan is adopted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You must not alter or deviate from your Rule 10b5-1 plan or enter into corresponding or hedging transactions with respect to the Company's securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You must act in good faith with respect your Rule 10b5-1 plan throughout the duration of the plan, including with respect to any trading under the plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Your plan must meet certain operational requirements detailed in this policy and described below.

The Company has established certain requirements and rules regarding entering into a Rule 10b5-1 plan or amending such a plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Members of the Company's Senior Leadership Team are strongly encouraged, but not required, to make any trades in Gap Inc. stock under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Trading in Gap Inc. stock outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan by members of the Company's Senior Leadership Team requires approval by the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer (or by the Chief Executive Officer and either the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Legal Officer if the other is requesting special approval to trade).

Gap Inc. Securities Compliance Manual – November 2024

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gap Inc. has partnered with E\*TRADE Financial to administer your Rule 10b5-1 plan(s). You may use another broker of your choice, but please note below that your broker will be required to agree to a "Specific and Limited Release and Indemnification." For contact information for E\*TRADE Financial, please contact [ ].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **The Legal department must pre-approve any Rule 10b5-1 plan or amendment before the plan or amendment is signed by both you and your broker**. It will generally take at least a week to obtain approval from the Legal department, so plan ahead.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Your Rule 10b5-1 plan (or amendment) can only be adopted (signed) during a non-blackout trading period and only when you are not aware of material nonpublic information and not aware of any current or pending blackout period with respect to the Company's pension or retirement plan(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No other trading in Gap Inc. stock is permitted outside your Rule 10b5-1 plan without the consent of the Legal department.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You can generally only have one Rule 10b5-1 plan in effect at a time. You can adopt a successor Rule 10b5-1 plan if trades under that plan are not scheduled to begin until trades under your predecessor plan are completed or expire without execution; however, if you adopt a successor plan and then terminate your predecessor plan early, the date of termination of your predecessor plan will be deemed to be the date of adoption of your successor plan and will trigger a new "cooling off" period starting from that date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You can generally only adopt one single-trade plan during any 12-month period. In general, a single trade plan is a plan that is designed to effect an open-market trade of the total amount of securities in a single transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may communicate about your Rule 10b5-1 plan with your Rule 10b5-1 plan broker only in writing after the plan's adoption and while the plan is operational. You must copy the Legal department on all such writings to and from your plan broker. Direct all copies by email to [ ] or by mail to:

[ ]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You can terminate your plan at any time, but you must notify the Legal department when you terminate your plan, and you must also comply with the "cooling-off" periods described in this policy when adopting a new plan. In addition, as described below, amendments to the amount, price or timing (or to a written formula, algorithm or computer program affecting the amount, price or timing) of the purchase or sale of securities are deemed to be a termination of a plan and adoption of a new plan that would trigger a new "cooling-off" period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company may (on a case-by-case basis) issue a press release after plan adoption or amendment. Additionally, if you are a member of the Company's Board of Directors or a Section 16 officer, the Company must disclose certain information in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and/or Annual Reports on Form 10-K when you adopt, amend or terminate a Rule 10b5-1 plan (including your name and title; the date of plan adoption, amendment or termination; the duration of the plan; and the aggregate number of securities to be traded under the plan).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At the sole discretion of the Company, you may be notified to suspend or terminate your plan <u>immediately</u>. The Company is likely to consider exercising this right in certain circumstances such as the following: (i) the Company or any other person publicly announces a tender or exchange offer with respect to Gap Inc. stock, (ii) there is a public announcement of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or comparable transaction affecting the securities of Gap Inc. as a result of which Gap Inc. stock is exchanged or converted

Gap Inc. Securities Compliance Manual – November 2024

------

into shares of another company, (iii) the Company receives notice of the commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by your bankruptcy or insolvency, (iv) there is a blackout with respect to the Company's pension or retirement plan(s) or (v) the Company notifies you that sales under the plan must be suspended pursuant to this Manual or any other Gap Inc. policy. Failure to suspend or terminate your plan(s) immediately will be considered a violation of this Manual and will be grounds for appropriate disciplinary action including termination of employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You must continue to comply with all other applicable securities laws, including Sections 13, 16 (i.e.*,* Form 4 filings and short-swing profit rules) and Rule 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If applicable, your 10b5-1 plan must comply with the Company's Executive Stock Ownership Policy (the "Ownership Policy") at the time it is entered into. For example, if the Ownership Policy is applicable to you and you do not yet satisfy its requirements, your plan may only sell up to 50% of net after-tax shares on future vesting until the requirements are satisfied. If you satisfy the Ownership Policy's requirements, you may put a plan in place to sell shares so long as the sales will not bring you below the minimum stock holding requirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To the extent future stock price fluctuations would result in trades under a plan violating the Ownership Policy, you will not be deemed to violate the Ownership Policy so long as the plan complied with it when the plan was adopted.

For your consideration, the Legal department has a sample Rule 10b5-1 plan. The Company does not endorse this particular trading plan and only provides it for illustrative purposes. To request a copy of the sample plan, please contact [ ] in the Legal department. Your broker may have their own form. In any event, you and your financial advisor are responsible for determining what kind of Rule 10b5-1 plan meets your financial needs and you and your personal representatives are responsible for negotiating the terms of your plan with your broker, not Gap Inc.'s Legal department. **However, we do require the following terms and conditions to be incorporated into your plan to receive Legal department approval:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The first trade under a newly adopted Rule 10b5-1 plan cannot occur until:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For members of the Board of Directors and Section 16 officers, <u>the first trading day following the longer of (i) 90 calendar days after plan adoption or (ii) two business days following the date when the Company files its Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for the completed fiscal quarter when the plan was adopted, up to a maximum of 120 calendar days</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all other persons, the first trading day following <u>30 calendar days after plan adoption</u>.

In addition, amendments to the amount, price or timing (or to a written formula, algorithm or computer program affecting the amount, price or timing) of the purchase or sale of securities are deemed to be a termination of a plan and adoption of a new plan, and as a result are subject to the timing restrictions described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You must reserve the ability to terminate the Rule 10b5-1 plan immediately upon notification to your broker by you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An authorized officer of the Company's Legal department may contact the broker directly to suspend or terminate any Rule 10b5-1 plan if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it is in the best interests of the Company.
