Gap Inc. said same-store sales at its three main brands declined in May, calling the month "challenging" but noting that performance improved leading into Memorial Day weekend.
Total sales for the four weeks ended May 28 fell 5% to $1.18 billion.
Gap shares rose 3.7% to $19 in after-hours trading.
Comparable sales fell 3% at Gap, 11% at Banana Republic and 7% at Old Navy, leading to an overall company decline of 6%.
The company on May 9 said it was suffering from a "tepid macro environment for apparel retail" and said the timing of Memorial Day would hurt May sales results and help June figures.
Gap is being squeezed by fast-fashion retailers such as Hennes & Mauritz AB and Zara owner Inditex SA, which push low-price items and shift their selections quickly. To combat the sales slump, Gap Chief Executive Art Peck has brought in new executives and promised to source goods more quickly.
