Overview

We operate under three reportable segments – Retail, Subscription and Wholesale. Our Retail segment primarily includes our Anthropologie, Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands. Our Retail segment products and services are sold directly to our customers through our retail locations, websites, mobile applications, social media and third-party digital platforms, catalogs and customer contact centers and franchisee-owned stores. Our Subscription segment includes the Nuuly brand, which offers customers a more sustainable way to explore fashion primarily through a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service. Our Wholesale segment includes our Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through department and specialty stores worldwide, digital businesses and our Retail segment. Our Wholesale segment primarily designs, develops and markets apparel, intimates, activewear and shoes.

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. All references to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, our fiscal year 2026 will end on January 31, 2026, and our fiscal year 2025 ended on January 31, 2025.

As used in this document, unless otherwise defined, "Anthropologie" refers to our Anthropologie and Terrain brands and "Free People" refers to our Free People and FP Movement brands.

Macroeconomic Environment and Other Recent Developments

During 2025, the U.S. government enacted significant changes to its tariff regime that increased rates on virtually all imports. Certain foreign jurisdictions have responded with reciprocal tariffs which resulted in corresponding actions by the U.S. government. Certain of these tariffs have been paused or modified from time to time and the uncertainty of tariff rates among multiple jurisdictions is contributing to overall macroeconomic volatility and increasing recessionary concerns. The potential for additional tariff increases may continue to result in increased reciprocal tariffs or other restrictive trade measures by the U.S. or foreign jurisdictions. These factors may continue to contribute to uncertain global economic conditions (including inflationary costs, consumer spending patterns and volatility in foreign currencies), which may impact our operations.

We have been and continue to regularly evaluate global trade policies and take appropriate actions when necessary to mitigate the risks associated with tariffs. These actions include:

  • Negotiating better terms with our vendors;
  • Shifting our countries of origin where enabled by dual sourcing most of our own branded products (we currently have no single country that represents the majority of our production);
  • Shifting our mode of transportation from air to ocean; and
  • Gently raising prices in a strategic fashion where we believe we could without affecting the overall customer experience.

We currently believe that tariffs could have a negative impact on our financial results.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which includes various tax provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions like bonus depreciation. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. This legislation, enacted during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, did not have a material impact on the Company's interim period income tax provision. The Company continues to assess the impact of the legislation on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect a material impact to our financial statements for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, however, additional guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury may affect the interpretation and application of certain provisions.

Retail Segment

Our Retail segment omni-channel strategy enhances our customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. All Company-owned Retail segment shopping channels are closely integrated, including retail locations, websites, mobile applications, social media and third-party platforms, catalogs and customer contact centers. Our investments in areas such as marketing campaigns and technology advancements are designed to generate demand for the Retail segment omni-channel and not the separate store or digital channels. We manage and analyze our performance based on a single Retail segment omni-channel rather than separate channels and believe that the Retail segment omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of our performance.

Our comparable Retail segment net sales data is equal to the sum of our comparable store and comparable digital channel net sales. A store is considered to be comparable if it has been open at least 12 full months, unless it was materially expanded or remodeled within that year or was not otherwise operating at its full capacity within that year due to store specific closures from events such as damage from fire, flood and natural weather events. A digital channel is considered to be comparable if it has been operational for at least 12 full months. Sales from stores and digital channels that do not fall within the definition of comparable store or digital channel are considered to be non-comparable. Franchise net sales and the effects of foreign currency translation are also considered non-comparable.

We monitor Retail segment metrics including customer traffic, conversion rates and average units per transaction at our stores and on our websites and mobile applications. We also monitor average unit selling price and transactions at our stores and average order value on our websites and mobile applications. We believe that changes in any of these metrics may be caused by a response to our brands’ fashion offerings, our marketing campaigns, circulation of our catalogs and an overall growth in brand recognition.

Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for approximately 85.4% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2025, compared to 88.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses during the reporting period.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2025. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would cause our actual results to be materially different from our estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended July 31, 2025.

Results of Operations

As a Percentage of Net Sales

The tables below set forth, for the periods indicated, certain income statement data and the percentage of our net sales represented by such data. The tables should be read in conjunction with the discussion that follows.

Three Months Ended July 31, 2025 (Fiscal 2026) Compared To

Three Months Ended July 31, 2024 (Fiscal 2025)

(amounts in millions)

Three Months Ended July 31, 2025 2024
Net sales $1,504.8 100.0% $1,352.0 100.0%
Cost of sales 938.6 62.4 858.7 63.5
Gross profit 566.2 37.6 493.3 36.5
Selling, general and administrative expenses 391.8 26.0 348.2 25.8
Income from operations 174.4 11.6 145.1 10.7
Other income, net 8.9 0.6 7.5 0.6
Income before income taxes 183.3 12.2 152.6 11.3
Income tax expense 39.4 2.6 35.1 2.6
Net income $143.9 9.6% $117.5 8.7%

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $1.50 billion, compared to $1.35 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The $152.8 million increase was attributable to a $92.8 million, or 7.8%, increase in Retail segment net sales, a $48.2 million, or 53.2%, increase in Subscription segment net sales and an $11.8 million, or 18.1%, increase in Wholesale segment net sales.

The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was due to an increase of $65.0 million, or 5.6%, in Retail segment comparable net sales and an increase of $27.8 million in non-comparable net sales. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 6.7% at Free People, 5.7% at Anthropologie and 4.2% at Urban Outfitters. Retail segment comparable net sales increased in both North America and Europe. The overall increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by mid single-digit positive growth in both retail store net sales and digital channel net sales. Comparable store net sales increased as a result of higher store traffic, transactions, average unit retail and conversion rate, while units per transaction decreased. The digital channel comparable net sales increase was driven by increases in sessions and units per transaction, while conversion rate was flat and average order value decreased. The increase in non-comparable net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily due to the impact of the 46 net new Company-owned stores opened since the prior comparable period.

The increase in Subscription segment net sales was primarily driven by a 48.1% increase in the average number of active subscribers in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in Wholesale segment net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was driven by an $11.8 million, or 19.5%, increase in Free People wholesale net sales as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to an increase in net sales to specialty customers.

Gross profit percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased by 113 basis points to 37.6% of net sales compared to 36.5% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross profit increased to $566.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from $493.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit rate was primarily due to improved Retail segment markdowns, largely driven by lower markdowns at the Urban Outfitters brand, and leverage in occupancy costs due to the increase in comparable Retail segment and Subscription segment net sales. The increase in gross profit dollars was due to higher net sales and the improved gross profit rate.

Total inventory at July 31, 2025, as compared to July 31, 2024, increased by $91.5 million, or 15.1%, to $696.2 million. Total Retail segment inventory increased by 15.0% and Retail segment comparable inventory increased by

11.3%. Wholesale segment inventory increased by 16.4%. The increase in inventory for both segments was due to increased net sales and planned early receipts of merchandise.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $43.6 million, or 12.5%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to 26.0% of net sales, compared to 25.8% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily related to increased marketing expenses to support customer growth and increased sales in the Retail and Subscription segments. The dollar growth in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to increased marketing expenses to support customer growth and increased sales in the Retail and Subscription segments, as well as increased store payroll expenses to support the Retail segment stores net sales growth.

Income from operations was 11.6% of net sales, or $174.4 million, for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 10.7% of net sales, or $145.1 million, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in operating income dollars was driven by the increase in gross profit dollars. The increase in operating income rate was driven by the improved gross profit rate.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 21.5%, compared to 23.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to the ratio of foreign taxable earnings to global taxable earnings and the release of certain state and local valuation allowances.

Income tax expense 68.9 2.4 54.1 2.1
Net income $252.2 8.9% $179.3 7.0%

Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2025 were $2.83 billion, compared to $2.55 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2025. The $281.6 million increase was attributable to a $160.7 million, or 7.1%, increase in Retail segment net sales, a $94.6 million, or 56.1%, increase in Subscription segment net sales and a $26.3 million, or 21.0%, increase in Wholesale segment net sales.

The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2026 was due to an increase of $114.0 million, or 5.2%, in Retail segment comparable net sales and an increase of $46.7 million in non-comparable net sales. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 6.3% at Anthropologie, 5.0% at Free People and 3.2% at Urban Outfitters. Retail segment comparable net sales increased in both North America and Europe. The overall increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by mid single-digit positive growth in both retail store net sales and digital channel net sales. Comparable store net sales increased as a result of higher store traffic, transactions and conversion rate, while average unit retail and units per transaction decreased. The digital channel comparable net sales increase was driven by increases in sessions and units per transaction, while conversion rate was flat and average order value decreased. The increase in non-comparable net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2026 was primarily due to the impact of the 50 net new Company-owned stores opened since the prior comparable period.

The increase in Subscription segment net sales was primarily driven by a 50.3% increase in the average number of active subscribers in the first six months of fiscal 2026 as compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2025. The increase in Wholesale segment net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2026 was driven by a $26.1 million, or 22.4%, increase in Free People wholesale net sales as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025, primarily due to an increase in net sales to specialty customers.

Gross profit percentage for the first six months of fiscal 2026 increased by 191 basis points to 37.2% of net sales compared to 35.3% of net sales in the comparable period of fiscal 2025. Gross profit increased to $1.06 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2026 from $901.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2025. The gross profit rate benefited from a non-recurring gain of $4.8 million, or 17 basis points, recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and store impairment and lease abandonment charges of $4.6 million, or 18 basis points, recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and not repeated in the current year period. The remaining 156 basis point increase in gross profit rate was primarily due to improved Retail segment markdowns, largely driven by lower markdowns at the Urban Outfitters brand, and leverage in occupancy costs due to the increase in comparable Retail segment and Subscription segment net sales. The increase in gross profit dollars was due to higher net sales and the improved gross profit rate.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $70.7 million, or 10.4%, in the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased in the first six months of fiscal 2026 to 26.5% of net sales, compared to 26.7% of net sales in the comparable period of fiscal 2025. The leverage in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily related to lower litigation expenses in the current year period as compared to the prior year period. The dollar growth in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to increased marketing expenses to support customer growth and increased sales in the Retail and Subscription segments, as well as increased store payroll expenses to support the Retail segment stores net sales growth.

Income from operations was 10.7% of net sales, or $302.6 million, for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to 8.6% of net sales, or $219.8 million, for the comparable period of fiscal 2025. The increase in operating income dollars was primarily driven by the increase in gross profit dollars. The increase in operating income rate was primarily driven by the improved gross profit rate.

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was 21.5%, compared to 23.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to the ratio of foreign taxable earnings to global taxable earnings and the release of certain state and local valuation allowances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following tables set forth certain balance sheet and cash flow data for the periods indicated. These tables should be read in conjunction with the discussion that follows:

(amounts in millions)

July 31, 2025 January 31, 2025 July 31, 2024
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities $989.2 $1,020.6 $771.0
Working capital 523.2 417.1 463.5

28

Six Months Ended July 31, 2025 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities $251.0 $163.8
Net cash used in investing activities (32.0) (61.1)
Net cash used in financing activities (180.6) (69.1)

The increase in working capital as of July 31, 2025, as compared to January 31, 2025, was primarily due to an increase in inventory. The increase in working capital as of July 31, 2025, as compared to July 31, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in inventory and the increase in cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities, partially offset by the timing of disbursements.

During the last two years, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operating activities and through the sales and maturities of marketable securities. Our primary uses of cash have been to fund business operations, purchase inventory and rental product, repurchase our common shares, open new stores and expand and improve our distribution network.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our major source of cash from operations was merchandise sales and our primary outflow of cash from operations was for the payment of operational costs. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025 was primarily due to higher net income in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 primarily related to the purchases of marketable securities and property and equipment, partially offset by the sales and maturities of marketable securities. Cash paid for property and equipment in the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was $107.5 million and $98.9 million, respectively, which was primarily used to expand our store base and distribution network in both periods.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2026 and the first six months of fiscal 2025 primarily related to repurchases of our common shares under our share repurchase program and from employees to meet payroll tax withholding requirements on vested share-based awards.

Credit Facilities

See Note 5, “Debt,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Company’s debt.

Capital and Operating Expenditures

During fiscal 2026, we plan to open approximately 69 new Company-owned retail locations, expand or relocate certain existing retail locations, expand our home office to support our growing business, invest in our distribution network, invest in new products, markets and brands, purchase inventory and rental product for our operating segments at levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales volumes, upgrade our systems, improve and expand our digital capabilities, invest in omni-channel marketing when appropriate and repurchase our common shares. We believe that our new brand initiatives, new store openings, merchandise expansion programs, international growth opportunities and our marketing, social media, website and mobile initiatives are significant contributors to our sales growth and plan to continue our investment in these initiatives for all brands. We anticipate our capital expenditures during fiscal 2026 will be approximately $270 million primarily related to retail store expansion and support, technology and distribution network investments and home office expansion to support our growing business. All fiscal 2026 capital expenditures are expected to be financed by cash flow from operating activities and existing cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our new store investments generally have the potential to generate positive cash flow within a year. We may also enter into one or more acquisitions or transactions related to the expansion of our brand offerings, including additional franchise and joint venture agreements. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our current credit facilities and future cash flows provided by operations will be sufficient to fund these initiatives.
