Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS), a portfolio of purpose-led, billion-dollar lifestyle brands including Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta, and the largest specialty apparel company in the U.S., today reported fiscal 2022 financial results for its first quarter ended April 30, 2022.

“Our Q1 results and updated fiscal 2022 outlook primarily reflect industry-wide headwinds as well as challenges at Old Navy that are impacting our near-term performance. While we are disappointed to deliver results below expectations, we are confident in our ability to navigate the headwinds and re-stabilize the Old Navy business in order to deliver continued progress on our long-term strategy,” said Sonia Syngal, CEO, Gap Inc. “We believe that we can navigate this period of acute disruption and build an even more resilient and agile company. We remain anchored by our belief in our iconic purpose-led brands – Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta – and are focused on making continued progress against our Power Plan strategy and getting back on track toward delivering growth, margin expansion, and value for our shareholders over the long term.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2022 - Financial Results

  • Net sales of $3.5 billion, down 13% compared to last year.
  • Net sales growth in the first quarter fiscal 2022 was negatively impacted by an estimated 5 percentage points related to lapping the benefit of stimulus last year and approximately 3 percentage points from divestitures, store closures, and the transition of the company’s European business to a partnership model.
  • Comparable sales were down 14% year-over-year.
  • Online sales declined 17% compared to last year and represented 39% of total net sales.
  • Store sales declined 10% compared to last year. The company ended the quarter with 3,414 store locations in over 40 countries, of which 2,825 were company operated.
  • Gross margin was 31.5%, 930 basis points lower than last year.
  • Merchandise margins were down 760 basis points versus last year and included approximately $170 million, or 480 basis points, of incremental transitory air freight costs. Higher discounting at Old Navy and inflationary commodity price increases partially offset by the benefit of lower discounting at Banana Republic drove the remaining decline of approximately 280 basis points.
  • Rent, Occupancy and Depreciation deleveraged 170 basis points versus last year primarily due to lower sales volume in the quarter.
  • Operating loss was $197 million in the quarter; operating margin of negative 5.7%.
  • Net loss of $162 million; diluted loss per share of $0.44.

First Quarter Fiscal 2022 – Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

  • Ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $845 million.
  • Net cash from operating activities was negative $362 million. Free cash flow,1 defined as net cash from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, was negative $590 million.
  • Ending inventory was up 34% year-over-year to $3.2 billion.
  • Capital expenditures were $228 million.
  • Share repurchases were $54 million, representing 3.7 million shares.
  • Paid first quarter dividend of $0.15 per share, totaling $56 million.
  • Board of Directors approved second quarter fiscal 2022 dividend of $0.15 per share.

First Quarter Fiscal 2022 – Brand Results

Old Navy:

  • Net sales of $1.8 billion, down 19% compared to last year. Sales in the quarter were negatively impacted by size and assortment imbalances, ongoing inventory delays, and product acceptance issues in some key categories.
  • Comparable sales were down 22%.

Gap:

  • Net sales of $791 million, down 11% compared to last year. The brand was slightly impacted by slowed demand stemming from inflationary pressures impacting the lower-income consumer as well as continued inventory lateness to last year. Growth at Gap Brand was also negatively impacted by the COVID-related forced lockdowns and slowed overall demand in China.
  • Global and North America comparable sales were both down 11%.

Banana Republic:

  • Net sales of $482 million, up 24% compared to last year. The brand is realizing the benefits of last year’s relaunch which is resonating with consumers particularly in light of the near-term shift into occasion and work-based categories.
  • Comparable sales were up 27%.

Athleta:

  • Net sales of $360 million, up 4% compared to last year. The brand continues to make progress in driving awareness and establishing authority in the women’s active and wellness category.
  • Comparable sales were down 7%.

Fiscal Year 2022 Outlook

“We are revising our fiscal 2022 outlook to reflect the impact of certain factors impacting our near-term performance, including execution challenges at Old Navy, an uncertain macro consumer environment, inflationary cost headwinds, and a slowdown in China that is impacting Gap Brand,” said Katrina O’Connell, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Gap Inc. “We expect our performance to improve modestly in the back half of the year and accelerate as we enter fiscal 2023. We believe that our long-term strategy is the right one and we are taking steps to position our brands, platform and people to capitalize on the significant opportunities ahead.”

  • The company now expects fiscal 2022 revenue to decline in the low to mid-single digit range versus last year.
  • Gross margin is expected to be in the range of 36.5% to 37.5%.
  • Reported operating margin is expected to be in the range of 1.8%-2.8% with adjusted operating margin2 in the range of 1.5% to 2.5%.
  • Reported diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.70.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share,2 excluding a net benefit expected from international initiatives, is expected to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.60.
  • Net interest expense of approximately $80 million.
  • Effective tax rate of approximately 27%.
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $700 million.
  • The company continues to expect to open about 30 to 40 stores each for Old Navy and Athleta in fiscal year 2022. As part of its 350-store closure plan, the company expects to close about 50 Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America during the year.

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

The non-GAAP measures included in this press release are free cash flow, expected 2022 adjusted operating margin, and expected 2022 adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain items that are set forth in the tables to this press release.

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

The Gap, Inc. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES UNAUDITED

FREE CASH FLOW

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe free cash flow is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash a company has available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. We require regular capital expenditures including technology improvements to automate processes, engage with customers, and optimize our supply chain in addition to building and maintaining stores. 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.
