Old Navy:
•Fourth quarter net sales of $2.29 billion were up 6% compared to last year. Comparable sales were up 2%. This represents the second consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales at the brand, demonstrating improved consistency in performance and execution.
•Full year net sales of $8.2 billion were flat versus last year. Comparable sales were down 1%.
Gap:
•Fourth quarter net sales of $1.01 billion were down 5% compared to last year. Excluding the estimated negative impact to sales of 8 percentage points related to the sale of Gap China, sales would have been up 3% versus last year. Comparable sales were up 4%. Performance was driven by continued strength in Women's, which gained market share for the fifth quarter in a row.
•Full year net sales of $3.3 billion were down 11% versus last year. Excluding the estimated negative impact to sales of 7 percentage points related to the sale of Gap China, sales would have been down 4% versus last year. Comparable sales were up 1%.
Banana Republic:
•Fourth quarter net sales of $567 million were down 2% compared to last year. Comparable sales were down 4%. While the brand has been making progress elevating its aesthetic, re-establishing Banana Republic will take time and there is work to be done to better execute many of the fundamentals.
•Full year net sales of $1.9 billion were down 8% versus last year. Comparable sales were down 7%.
Athleta:
•Fourth quarter net sales of $419 million were down 4% compared to last year. Comparable sales were down 10%. Athleta's performance improved sequentially versus the prior quarter, but sales continue to be challenged due to tougher comparisons as the brand laps a period of elevated discounting last year.
•Full year net sales of $1.4 billion were down 8% versus last year. Comparable sales were down 12%.

Webcast and Conference Call Information

company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023 results beginning at approximately 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. Ms. Gacka will be joined by President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Dickson and Chief Financial Officer, Katrina O’Connell.
A live webcast of the conference call and accompanying materials will be available online at investors.gapinc.com. A replay of the webcast will be available at the same location.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
This press release and related conference call include financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures described below are intended to provide investors with additional useful information about the company’s financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by management for financial and operating decision-making. The company presents these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing its financial performance from management's view and because it believes they provide an additional tool for investors to use in computing the company's core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in its industry. Additional information regarding the intended use of non-GAAP measures included in this press release and related conference call is provided in the tables to this press release.
The non-GAAP measures included in this press release are adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expense/adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain items that are set forth in the tables to this press release. In addition, the company's outlook includes projected full year fiscal 2024 operating income growth compared to its full year fiscal 2023 adjusted operating income as well as expected first quarter fiscal 2024 gross margin expansion compared to its first quarter fiscal 2023 adjusted gross margin.
The non-GAAP measures used by the company should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in items or events being adjusted. The company urges investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in the tables to this press release below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

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 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.
