Bob Martin, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of Gap Inc., commented: “We have sharpened our focus on execution to optimise profitability and cash flow, are bringing more rigor to our operations, and balancing our assortments in response to what our customers are telling us. While our efforts show early signs of improvement, we are clear that there is work to be done to deliver what our customers, employees, and shareholders expect from Gap Inc.”

Katrina O’Connell, EVP and CFO of Gap Inc., added: “In the near-term, we remain focused on the actions necessary to reduce inventory, rebalance our assortments to better meet changing consumer needs, aggressively manage and reevaluate our investments, and fortify our balance sheet. While we have work to do, we believe we are taking the right steps in order to position Gap Inc. for sustainable, profitable growth and to deliver value for our shareholders over the long term.”

In recent news, the company released a 350-store closure plan. Gap Inc. has already closed 29 Gap and Banana Republic stores in North America year-to-date and expects to close approximately 30 more in Q4.

Gap also recently cut ties with Kayne West, terminating its contract with the artist 8 years early. The company still plans to sell all the Yeezy Gap products that were in the pipeline or released.
