GAP INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Company Updates its Fiscal Year 2016 Outlook
SAN FRANCISCO - August 18, 2016 - Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS) today announced second quarter fiscal year 2016 diluted earnings per share were $0.31 on a reported basis. Excluding the impact associated with its previously announced restructuring plans, which was approximately $0.29, the company’s adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, were $0.60 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.
The company noted that foreign currency fluctuations negatively impacted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 by an estimated $0.05, or about 8 percentage points of earnings per share growth on an adjusted basis. The company also noted that adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 were up slightly when compared to the same period last year when excluding the impact of restructuring costs for both periods, as well as the impact of foreign currency fluctuations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. Please see the reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, from the GAAP financial measure in the table at the end of this press release.
“During the quarter, we took critical steps to execute our restructuring plans and to build a more efficient global brand model with greater potential for growth,” said Art Peck, chief executive officer, Gap Inc.
“While I remain unsatisfied with the pace of improvement across the business, I am encouraged by the underlying signs of progress in Q2, as demonstrated by healthier merchandise margins. Our management teams share my urgency to create fundamental change that will drive long-term performance.”

Additional Second Quarter Results and 2016 Outlook
Full Year Earnings per Share Guidance and Operating Margin
The company updated its reported diluted earnings per share guidance for fiscal year 2016 to be in the range of $1.37 to $1.47. Excluding the negative impact of restructuring costs, which is expected to be approximately $0.45 to $0.50, the company expects its adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.87 to $1.92. Please see the reconciliation of adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, from the GAAP financial measure in the table at the end of this press release.
Excluding restructuring costs, the company now expects its adjusted operating margin to be about 8.5 percent in fiscal year 2016.
Operating Expenses
Second quarter fiscal year 2016 reported operating expenses were $1.16 billion compared with $1.09 billion for the second quarter last year. Excluding restructuring costs for the second quarters of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, second quarter fiscal year 2016 operating expenses were about flat versus last year.
Marketing expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $131 million, or about flat versus the second quarter of last year.
Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate was 52.5 percent for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. The second quarter effective tax rate reflects the impact of certain non-cash tax expenses related to foreign restructuring costs, which resulted in an increase to the effective tax rate of approximately 10 percentage points.
The company now expects its reported fiscal year 2016 effective tax rate to be about 44 percent. Excluding the tax impacts of the restructuring costs, the company expects its adjusted fiscal year 2016 effective tax rate to be about 40 percent.
Inventory
Total inventory dollars were down about 3 percent at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, in-line with the company’s previous guidance. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, the company expects total inventory dollars to be down in the low single digits year-over-year.

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, as we require regular capital expenditures to build and maintain stores and purchase new equipment to improve our business. 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.
