NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 28, 2017August 1, 2020 and October 29, 2016August 3, 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive IncomeStockholders' Equity for the thirteen and thirty-ninetwenty-six weeks ended October 28, 2017August 1, 2020 and October 29, 2016,August 3, 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirty-ninetwenty-six weeks endedOctober 28, 2017 August 1, 2020 and October 29, 2016August 3, 2019, have been prepared by The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). In the opinion of management, such statements includecontain all normal and recurring adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments)(except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of October 28, 2017August 1, 2020 and October 29, 2016August 3, 2019 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 28, 2017February 1, 2020 has been derived from our audited financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. We suggest that you read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.February 1, 2020.
The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-ninetwenty-six weeks endedOctober 28, 2017 August 1, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 53-week52-week period ending FebruaryJanuary 30, 2021.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As a result, we temporarily closed our North America retail stores and a significant number of our stores globally. In May 2020, we began to safely reopen our temporarily closed stores in accordance with local government guidelines. The Company also implemented several actions during the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2020, to enhance our liquidity position such as completing the issuance of our Senior Secured Notes for $2.25 billion and entering into a third amended and restated senior secured asset-based revolving credit agreement (the "ABL Facility"), with an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $1.8675 billion. There were no borrowings under the ABL Facility as of August 1, 2020. See Note 3 2018.of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020, we also suspended share repurchases and dividends, and deferred the first quarter of fiscal 2020 dividend.
We suspended rent payments under the leases for our temporarily closed stores beginning in April 2020 and are now working through negotiations with our landlords relating to those leases. We considered the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") recent guidance regarding lease modifications as a result of the effects of COVID-19 and elected to apply the temporary practical expedient to account for lease changes as variable rent unless an amendment results in a substantial change in the Company's lease obligations. As of August 1, 2020, the impact of applying the temporary practical expedient was not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In response to COVID-19, various governments worldwide have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, measures to provide relief to businesses negatively affected by the pandemic. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law in the United States. The CARES Act provides relief to U.S. corporations through financial assistance programs and modifications to certain payroll and income tax provisions. The Company is also considering certain beneficial provisions of the CARES Act, including the net operating loss carryback provision. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the estimated income tax impact of the CARES Act.
We continue to consider the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these quarterly financial statements including inventory valuation, lease accounting impacts, income taxes, and the impairment of long-lived store assets and operating lease assets. These assumptions and estimates may change as the current situation evolves or new events occur and additional information is obtained. If the economic conditions caused by COVID-19 worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.


Note 2. Recent Restricted Cash
Any cash that is legally restricted from use is classified as restricted cash. If the purpose of restricted cash is related to acquiring a long-term asset, liquidating a long-term liability, or is otherwise unavailable for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date, the restricted cash is included within other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Otherwise, restricted cash is included within other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of August 1, 2020, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for certain obligations and fees occurring in the normal course of business and our insurance obligations. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract
In August 2018, the FASB issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The ASU is intended to align the requirements for capitalization of implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the existing guidance for internal-use software. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis on February 2, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on itsour Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, based on current information.
RecentASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting Pronouncements Related to Revenue Recognitionfor Income Taxes
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU No. 2014-09, as amended, is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017.
While we do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and related ASUs to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect the adoption to result in change in the timing of recognizing revenue for breakage income for gift cards, gift certificates, and credit vouchers, credit card reward points and certificate liability, as well as sales where we ship the merchandise to the customer from a distribution center or store. Additionally, under the new guidance, we expect to recognize allowances for estimated sales returns on a gross basis rather than net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We are currently evaluating the classification of income earned in connection with our private label and co-branded credit cards. We are also evaluating expanded disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
We will adopt these ASUs on a modified retrospective basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.


Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016,2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under2019-12, Simplifying the newAccounting for Income Taxes. The ASU is intended to enhance and simplify aspects of the income tax accounting guidance lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (within ASC 740 as part of the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The ASUFASB's simplification initiative. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are still assessing2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASUguidance may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2. Revenue
The Company’s revenues include merchandise sales at stores, online, and through franchise agreements, as well as the newly introduced business-to-business ("B2B") program. We also receive revenue sharing from our credit card agreement for private label and co-branded credit cards, and breakage revenue related to our gift cards, credit vouchers, and outstanding loyalty points. Breakage revenue is recognized based upon historical redemption patterns. For online sales, the Company has elected to treat shipping and handling as fulfillment activities and not as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our single performance obligation related to online sales at the time control of the merchandise passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. We also record an allowance for estimated returns based on our historical return patterns and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. Revenues are presented net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
Our credit card agreement provides for certain payments to be made to us, including a share of revenue from the performance of the credit card portfolios and reimbursements of loyalty program discounts. We have identified separate performance obligations related to our credit card agreement that include both providing a license and an obligation to redeem loyalty points issued under the loyalty rewards program. Our obligation to provide a license is satisfied when the subsequent sale or usage occurs and our obligation to redeem loyalty points is deferred until those loyalty points are redeemed. Income related to our credit card agreement is classified within net sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.


We also have franchise agreements with unaffiliated franchisees to operate Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy stores in a number of countries throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Under these agreements, third parties operate, or will operate, stores that sell apparel and related products under our brand names. We have identified separate performance obligations related to our franchise agreements that include both providing our franchise partners with a license and an obligation to supply franchise partners with our merchandise. Our obligation to provide a license is satisfied when the subsequent sale or usage occurs and our obligation to supply franchise partners with our merchandise is satisfied when control of the merchandise transfers. As of the quarter ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, there were 0 material contract liabilities related to our franchise agreements.
We defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards, credit vouchers, outstanding loyalty points, and reimbursements of loyalty program discounts associated with our credit card agreement. For the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2020, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $198 million, of which $63 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $226 million, of which $118 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $189 million as of August 1, 2020.
We expect that the majority of our revenue deferrals as of the quarter ended August 1, 2020, will be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months as our performance obligations are satisfied.
For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2019, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $206 million, of which $71 million was recognized as revenue during the period. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2019, the opening balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $227 million, of which $134 million was recognized as revenue during the period. The closing balance of deferred revenue for these obligations was $195 million as of August 3, 2019.
Net sales disaggregated for stores and online sales for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019 was as follows:

(1)Store sales primarily include sales made at our Company-operated stores and franchise sales. Fiscal 2020 store sales were negatively impacted by COVID-19. See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
(2)Online sales primarily include sales made through our online channels including curbside pick-up, ship-from-store sales, buy online pick-up in store sales, and order-in-store sales. Additionally, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, sales from the B2B program are also included.
See Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements but it will result in a substantial increase in our long-term assetsfor further disaggregation of revenue by brand and liabilities. We will adopt the ASU beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. We adopted the provisions of this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we have made the policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures, when recognizing share-based compensation cost. We adopted this provision of the ASU using a modified retrospective transition method, which resulted in the cumulative-effect adjustment of a $3 million increase to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Also, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payment awards are now reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Income as a component of the provision for income taxes on a prospective basis, whereas they were recognized in equity under the previous guidance. Additionally, excess tax benefits related to share-based payment awards are now reflected in operating activities, along with other income tax related cash flows, in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a prospective basis.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminate the two-step goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We early adopted this ASU for the interim goodwill impairment test in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments are intended to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Notes are also subject to certain provisions related to default that, if triggered, could result in acceleration of the maturity of the Notes.

The ABL Facility agreement is secured by specified assets, including a first lien on inventory, accounts receivable and bank accounts. The Notes are also secured by a second priority lien on certain assets securing the ABL Facility, which includes security interests in inventory, accounts receivable and bank accounts, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

In addition, the ABL Facility includes, as a financial covenant, a springing fixed charge coverage ratio which arises when availability falls below a specified threshold.
As of August 1, 2020, we were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants and expect to maintain compliance for the next twelve months.

We have highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, which are placed primarily in time deposits, and money market funds. Wefunds, and commercial paper. With the exception of our available-for-sale investments noted below, we value these investments at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate.

Our available-for-sale securities are comprised of investments in debt securities. These securities are recorded at fair value using market prices. As of August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, the Company held $25 million and $294 million, respectively, of available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates greater than three months and less than two years within short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, as of August 1, 2020, the Company held 0 material available-for-sale debt securities with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase within cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of August 3, 2019, the Company held $15 million available-for-sale debt securities with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase within cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities included within accumulated other comprehensive income were immaterial as of August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019.

The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019, the Company did not consider any of its securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired and, accordingly, did not recognize any impairment loss.
Derivative financial instruments primarily include foreign exchange forward contracts. The currencies hedged against changes in the U.S. dollar are Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Euro, Mexican pesos, Chinese yuan, and Taiwan dollars. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is determined using pricing models based on current market rates. Derivative financial instruments in an asset position are recorded in other current assets or other long-term assets in theSee Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative financial instruments in a liability position are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or lease incentives and other long-term liabilities inFinancial Statements for information regarding currencies hedged against the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.U.S. dollar.

Nonfinancial Assets
We review the carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of the long-lived assets is determined using level 3 inputs and based on discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the risk. The asset group is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for our retail stores, is primarily at the store level.

There were 0 material impairment charges recorded for long-lived assets during the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017, weAugust 1, 2020. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020, the Company recorded a charge for the impairment of long-livedstore assets of $4$127 million whichand impairment of operating lease assets of $361 million. The impairment of the store assets reduced the then carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $5$131 million to their fair value of $1$4 million. The impairment charge was recorded inof the operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, we recorded a charge for the impairment of long-livedlease assets of $17 million, which reduced the then carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $18$1,369 million to their fair value of $1$1,008 million. The impairment charge was recorded in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
In May 2016, the Company announced measures to close its fleet of 53 Old Navy stores in Japan and select Banana Republic stores, primarily internationally. During the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016, we recorded charges for impairment of long-lived assets of $2 million related to the announced store closures, and an additional $31 million for long-lived assets that were unrelated to the announced measures. The impairment charges were recorded in operating expenses inon the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and reduced the then carrying amount of the applicable long-lived assets of $34 million to their fair value of $1 million.Operations.

Note 9. Income Taxes2017 ("TCJA").
The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and India. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2009, and with few exceptions, we are also no longer subject to U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2008.
The Company is in continual discussions with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in the various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in the normal course of business. As of October 28, 2017,August 1, 2020, it is reasonably possible that we will recognize a decrease in gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12twelve months of up to $6$12 million, primarily due to the closing of audits. If we do recognize such a decrease, the net impact on the Condensed Consolidated StatementStatements of IncomeOperations would not be material.

Note 11.9. Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases, trademarks, intellectual property, financial agreements, and various other agreements. Under these contracts, we may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (e.g., ownership of assets, environmental or tax indemnifications), or personal injury matters. The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated, and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.


As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims (“Actions”)Actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of October 28, 2017August 1, 2020, Actions filed against us included commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, and data privacy claims, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some Actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages and some are covered in part by insurance. As of October 28, 2017August 1, 2020, January 28, 2017February 1, 2020, and October 29, 2016August 3, 2019, we recorded a liability for an estimated loss if the outcome of an Action is expected to result in a loss that is considered probable and reasonably estimable. The liability recorded as of October 28, 2017August 1, 2020, January 28, 2017February 1, 2020, and October 29, 2016August 3, 2019, was not material for any individual Action or in total. Subsequent to October 28, 2017August 1, 2020, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Accordingly, developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
Fire at the Fishkill Distribution Center
On August 29, 2016, a fire occurred in one of the buildings at a Company-owned distribution center campus in Fishkill, New York. The impacted building primarily held Gap and Banana Republic products for distribution to stores and fulfilled online orders for Gap and Old Navy in the Northeast region of the United States.
The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance coverage. Based on the provisions of the Company’s insurance policies, the Company recorded insurance recoveries based on the determination that recovery of certain fire-related costs is probable. During fiscal 2016, the Company incurred a total of $133 million in certain fire-related costs. In January of fiscal 2016, the Company agreed upon a partial settlement of $159 million related to the loss on inventory and recorded a gain of $73 million, representing the excess over the loss on inventory, which was recorded in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. During fiscal 2016, the Company received $174 million of insurance proceeds. As a result, the insurance receivable balance was $32 million as of January 28, 2017 and was recorded in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, the Company incurred immaterial costs and $15 million, respectively, in certain fire-related costs for which the Company recorded insurance recoveries based on the determination that recovery of these fire-related costs is probable. In June 2017, the Company also agreed upon a partial settlement and recorded a gain of $64 million, primarily related to property and equipment, representing the excess over the loss on fire-related recoverable costs, which was recorded in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Company received $29 million and $131 million of insurance proceeds during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, respectively. Included in the $29 million was $20 million in insurance proceeds related to business interruption, which were recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The remaining $9 million and $111 million of insurance proceeds received during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to the insurance receivable balance. As a result, the insurance proceeds received in excess of expected recoveries was less than $1 million as of October 28, 2017.

We will continue to incur additional logistics costs related to the disruption to our North American supply chain network. As settlements are reached, any recoveries related to business interruption insurance will be recognized as a reduction to cost of goods sold and occupancy expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017, we allocated $60 million of insurance proceeds to the loss on property and equipment based on the partial settlement of claims reported as insurance proceeds related to loss on property and equipment, a component of cash flows from investing activities, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

ResultsIn March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As a result, we temporarily closed our North America retail stores and a large number of our stores globally. We have temporarily implemented a work-from-home policy for most of our corporate employees. In May 2020, we began to safely reopen our stores with industry-leading safety measures for customers and employees, and as of August 1, 2020, have reopened approximately 90% of our stores worldwide in accordance with local government guidelines.

A store is included in the Comp Sales calculations on the first day it has comparable prior year sales. Stores in which the selling square footage has changed by 15 percent or more as a result of a remodel, expansion, or reduction are excluded from the Comp Sales calculations until the first day they have comparable prior year sales.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted into law, which included certain provisions that affect our income taxes, including temporary five-year net operating loss carryback provisions, modifications to the interest deduction limitations, and the technical correction for qualified leasehold improvements.
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2020 and first three quartershalf of fiscal 20172020 compared with the third quarter and first three quartersrespective periods of fiscal 2016 was2019 is primarily due to the net operating loss carryback provisions of the CARES Act, changes in the mix of pretax income between domestic and international operations and the fiscal 2019 impact of restructuring costs incurred for foreign subsidiaries during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and resulting valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2016 was partially offset by the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting in fiscal 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We continue to manage through the impacts of COVID-19 in fiscal 2020 and the impact it has on our operations and liquidity. During the first half of fiscal 2020, we have taken several actions to improve our financial profile and increase our liquidity, including entering into new debt financing, decreasing capital expenditures, and suspending quarterly cash dividends and share repurchases for the remainder of the fiscal year.
On May 7, 2020, we completed the issuance of our Notes and received gross proceeds of $2.25 billion. Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into the ABL Facility with an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $1.8675 billion which is scheduled to expire in May 2023. Additionally, on May 7, 2020, we repaid the $500 million that was previously outstanding under our previous unsecured revolving credit facility and did not borrow any funds under the ABL Facility. On June 6, 2020, we redeemed our 2021 Notes. The Company currently believes its new capital structure provides sufficient liquidity to continue to navigate COVID-19.
As of August 1, 2020, we consider the following to be our primary measures of liquidity and capital resources:

We are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our ABL Facility or other available market instruments.
Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from the sale of our merchandise. Our primary uses of cash include merchandise inventory purchases, occupancy costs, personnel-related expenses, purchases of property and equipment, and payment of taxes. In addition, we may have dividend payments, debt repayments, and share repurchases. As of October 28, 2017, cash and cash equivalents were $1.4 billion, the majority of which was held in the United States and is generally accessible without any limitations.
We believe that current cash balances and cash flows from our operations will be sufficient to support our business operations including growth initiatives and planned capital expenditures, for the next 12 months and beyond. We are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with our $500 million revolving credit facility or other available market instruments.twelve months.


Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $670 million during the first three quartershalf of fiscal 2017 decreased $200 million2020 compared with the first three quartershalf of fiscal 2016,2019, primarily due to the following:
Net Income (Loss)

a decrease of $123 million related to merchandise inventory primarily due to the volume and timing of receipts; and
a decrease of $56 million related to accrued expenses and other current liabilities in part due to the timing of severance payments as a result of fiscal 2016 restructuring activities; partially offset by
an increase of $108$275 million related to income taxes payable, net of prepaidreceivables and other tax-related items, resulting from a net income tax receivable primarily due to an increase inthe taxable income duringloss carryback estimated for the first three quartershalf of fiscal 2017 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 20162020 as well as the timing of taxtax-related payments.
We fund inventory expenditures during normal and peak periods through cash flows from operating activities and available cash. Our business typically follows a seasonal pattern, with sales peaking during the end-of-year holiday period. The seasonality of our operations, in addition to the effect of COVID-19, may lead to significant fluctuations in certain asset and liability accounts between fiscal year-end and subsequent interim periods.




Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used forprovided by investing activities during the first three quartershalf of fiscal 20172020 increased $22$580 million compared with the first three quartershalf of fiscal 2016,2019, primarily due to the following:

$671,307 million related topayment for the repaymentextinguishment of debt during the Japan Term Loan in full in June 2017.first half of fiscal 2020.


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.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. Free cash flow for the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 is further adjusted for insurance proceeds allocated to loss on property and equipment, as our cash used for purchases of property and equipment for the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 includes certain capital expenditures related to the rebuilding of the Company-owned distribution center which was impacted by the Fishkill fire.
The following table reconciles free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, from a GAAP financial measure.

In conjunction with our financings, we obtained new long-term senior unsecured credit ratings from Moody's. On March 26, 2020, Moody's downgraded our senior unsecured rating from Baa2 to Ba1 and changed their outlook from stable to negative. On April 23, 2020, Moody's downgraded our corporate credit ratings from Ba1 to Ba2 with negative outlook, and Standard & Poor's downgraded our credit ratings from BB to BB- with negative outlook. Any future reduction in the Moody's and Standard & Poor's ratings would potentially result in an increase to our interest expense on future borrowings.
