\nGap Inc. third quarter results reflected flat sales versus last year, supported by 5% growth in comparable sales which was driven by a 61% increase in online sales. Net sales were impacted by the company\u2019s ongoing strategy to close unprofitable stores. Gross margin increased 160 basis points versus last year, to 40.6%.\n<\/p>\n
\nFor the quarter, Gap Inc. delivered $0.25 earnings per diluted share, reflecting gross margin improvement versus the prior year, partially offset by higher operating expenses, including a significant increase in marketing support across all brands.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur third quarter results reflect our Power Plan 2023 in action \u2014 specifically the strength of our online business, which comprised 40% of sales, and our commitment to meeting the shopping preferences of our customers through our leading omni platform,\u201d said Sonia Syngal, Chief Executive Officer, Gap Inc. \u201cWith our teams focused on sales growth and returning to profitability, we\u2019ve made investments in demand generation that are driving engagement, particularly in this dislocated market as customers are looking to trusted brands to provide easy and safe shopping options.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Results<\/b><\/p>\n
\nNet sales were flat year-over-year, reflecting a 61% increase in online sales, offset by a 20% decline in store sales. Notably, 40% of the company\u2019s sales were online in the third quarter. As noted during the company\u2019s Investor Meeting, held in October 2020, the company aspires to achieve 50% of its sales from online by the end of 2023.\n<\/p>\n
\nThird quarter fiscal year 2020 comparable sales were up 5%, driven by the strength of Gap Inc.\u2019s scaled e-commerce business, which added over 3.4 million new customers during the quarter. The comparable sales calculation reflects online sales and comparable sales days in stores that were open.\n<\/p>\n
\nNet sales and comparable sales by brand for the third quarter 2020 compared to the third quarter 2019 were as follows:\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- Old Navy Global:<\/b> Net sales increased 15%, with comparable sales up 17%. Old Navy continued to experience meaningful acceleration in its online business as strong customer response to product was further bolstered by compelling and relevant digital marketing investment. During the quarter, active offerings grew over 55%. Notably, Old Navy\u2019s U.S. Kids & Baby apparel business added meaningful market share to become the #1 brand in that segment.1\n
<\/sup>Additionally, the brand\u2019s off-mall and strip real estate locations, which make up approximately 75% of the brand\u2019s fleet, continue to be an advantage, supporting not only in-store sales but customers\u2019 omni purchases, through curbside and buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS).\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Gap Global:<\/b> Net sales were down 14% and comparable sales were down 5%. This reflects a reduced store fleet and lower traffic trends partially offset by strong online performance. The brand remains focused on maximizing online demand through relevant marketing, improved execution and customer engagement. In particular, the brand\u2019s Fall marketing campaigns \u201cStand United\u201d and \u201cBe the Future\u201d generated positive customer response.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Banana Republic Global:<\/b> Net sales were down 34%, a slight improvement versus the second quarter. Comparable sales were down 30%. As previously discussed, Banana Republic continues to focus on adjusting to consumer preferences and improving inventory mix by shifting away from the brand\u2019s traditional work wear assortment and into casual fashion during the current stay-at-home environment.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Athleta: <\/b>Net sales were up 35%. Comparable sales were the highest in the brand\u2019s history – up 37% – and online contribution remained above 50% in the quarter. Athleta continues to benefit from its participation in the highly relevant values-driven active and lifestyle space, strong returns from increased digital marketing investments, and a focused product strategy, which is driving a healthy regular price business. While performance was strong across the brand, masks continued to attract new customers, providing the opportunity to build a relationship across other product offerings.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nGross margin was 40.6%, a 160 basis point improvement versus last year. This improvement is consistent with the strategic focus outlined in last month\u2019s Power Plan 2023 discussion of opening highly-profitable Old Navy and Athleta stores, while also closing select unprofitable Gap and Banana Republic stores, yielding significant rent and occupancy savings. In addition, a lower level of promotions contributed to higher product margins in the quarter. The benefits of lower rent and occupancy and higher product margin were partially offset by higher shipping expenses associated with the company\u2019s growth in online sales.\n<\/p>\n
\nOperating expenses were 36.2% of sales, an increase of 270 basis points versus last year, reflecting over 175 basis points in higher marketing investment across all brands and approximately 140 basis points in spending to support health and safety measures in stores. Operating expenses were also impacted by approximately 120 basis points in costs associated with store closures that were mostly offset by rent and occupancy benefits reflected in gross margin. These increases were partially offset by approximately 200 basis points in one-time costs in the year-ago quarter primarily related to the company\u2019s previously planned separation of Old Navy.\n<\/p>\n
\nOperating income was $175 million or 4.4% of net sales.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe effective tax rate was 21.5%, primarily reflecting changes in the estimated benefit associated with the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the impact of the Company\u2019s geographical mix of pre-tax earnings. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 23.7%.\n<\/p>\n
\nDiluted earnings per share for the third quarter was $0.25.\n<\/p>\n
Balance Sheet <\/b><\/p>\n
\nGap Inc. ended third quarter fiscal year 2020 with $2.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, compared to $1.1 billion at the end of the third quarter in fiscal year 2019, providing ample liquidity to support the company\u2019s long-term growth strategy.\n<\/p>\n
\nAs of the end of its third quarter fiscal year 2020, Gap Inc. inventory was up 1% versus the year-ago quarter. Excluding pack & hold inventory that is being held for introduction into the marketplace in 2021, ending inventory was down about 7%, reflecting the company\u2019s focus on working capital management.\n<\/p>\n
\nGap Inc. ended the quarter with 3,785 store locations in 43 countries, of which 3,178 were company-operated. This compares to 3,396 company-operated stores in the third quarter last year. As part of ongoing fleet optimization efforts supporting its long-term strategic priority of a smaller healthier fleet, the company reiterates its intention to close approximately 225 Gap and Banana Republic stores globally, net of openings, in 2020.\n<\/p>\n
Cash Flow<\/b><\/p>\n
\nYear-to-date free cash flow, defined as net cash from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, was $111 million compared with $5 million last year, reflecting strong operating cash flow in the second and third quarters, following the impact of pandemic-related store closures earlier in the year, as well as a lower level of capital expenditures versus the prior year.\n<\/p>\n
\nPlease see the reconciliation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, in the tables at the end of this press release.\n<\/p>\n
\nStrong cash flow in the quarter reflected gross margin improvement, and focused working capital management, particularly as the company focused on aligning inventory relative to customer demand, as well as prudent capital expenditure management.\n<\/p>\n
\nYear-to-date capital expenditures were $288 million compared to $523 million last year. The company now anticipates capital spending to be approximately $375 million for fiscal year 2020, an increase versus the prior forecast of approximately $300 million, as the company invests in investments to drive online growth, particularly in digital, technology, and capacity.\n<\/p>\n
2020 Financial Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n
\nRecognizing the continued high level of uncertainty in the marketplace, the company is not providing a fiscal year earnings outlook. The widely-noted recent rise in COVID-19 cases remains a concern, which may impact store traffic. However, with rapidly growing online sales contribution, at over 40% of company sales in the quarter, and the opportunity for market share gains, supported by the significant investment in marketing, the company remains optimistic for the fourth quarter.\n<\/p>\n
\nBehind the continued investment in digital capabilities, including the third quarter launch of its loyalty program, the company believes it is well-positioned heading into the holiday shopping season.\n<\/p>\n
\nGeneral assumptions for the fourth quarter include:\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nNet sales being equal to or slightly higher than last year\n<\/li>\n
- \nGross margin rate being equal to last year, reflecting continued benefits of store closures largely offset by higher shipping expenses\n<\/li>\n
- \nOperating expenses being between 33% to 34% of company sales, reflecting the company\u2019s continued investment in brand marketing, behind the opportunity to capture market share, as well as the continued cost of in-store health & safety measures on behalf of our customers and employees.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\u201cWe\u2019re really pleased to see key elements of our Power Plan 2023 strategy driving results in the third quarter, reflected in improving sales and gross margin trends, following the COVID-19-related store closures earlier in the year,\u201d said Katrina O\u2019Connell, Chief Financial Officer, Gap Inc. \u201cImportantly, our strong cash flow continues to provide us ample liquidity to invest in marketing support behind our brands, as well as digital capabilities to drive our rapidly growing online business.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

We believe free cash flow is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash a company has available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures as we require regular capital expenditures to build and maintain stores and purchase new equipment to improve our business and infrastructure. 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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n \n \n \n \u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n \n \n 39 Weeks Ended<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n ($ in millions)<\/b><\/td>\n \n October 31,

- Athleta: <\/b>Net sales were up 35%. Comparable sales were the highest in the brand\u2019s history – up 37% – and online contribution remained above 50% in the quarter. Athleta continues to benefit from its participation in the highly relevant values-driven active and lifestyle space, strong returns from increased digital marketing investments, and a focused product strategy, which is driving a healthy regular price business. While performance was strong across the brand, masks continued to attract new customers, providing the opportunity to build a relationship across other product offerings.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- Banana Republic Global:<\/b> Net sales were down 34%, a slight improvement versus the second quarter. Comparable sales were down 30%. As previously discussed, Banana Republic continues to focus on adjusting to consumer preferences and improving inventory mix by shifting away from the brand\u2019s traditional work wear assortment and into casual fashion during the current stay-at-home environment.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- Gap Global:<\/b> Net sales were down 14% and comparable sales were down 5%. This reflects a reduced store fleet and lower traffic trends partially offset by strong online performance. The brand remains focused on maximizing online demand through relevant marketing, improved execution and customer engagement. In particular, the brand\u2019s Fall marketing campaigns \u201cStand United\u201d and \u201cBe the Future\u201d generated positive customer response.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
