URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with Urban Outfitters, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018,2019, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2018.1, 2019.

The Company’s business experiences seasonal fluctuations in net sales and net income, with a more significant portion typically realized in the second half of each year predominantly due to the year-end holiday period. Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, this seasonality also impacts our working capital requirements, particularly with regard to inventory. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2018April 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. All references in these notes to the Company’s fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, the Company’s fiscal year 20192020 will end on January 31, 2019.2020.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In OctoberFebruary 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that amends the existing guidance on the income tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers with the exception of transfers of inventory. Theaccounting standards for lease accounting. This update requires the recognition of tax expense when an intra-entitylessees to recognize a right-of-use asset transfer occurs as opposed to being deferred under the existing guidance.and lease liability for both operating and finance leases. The Company adopted the new guidance on February 1, 20182019 using thea modified retrospective approach.approach at the beginning of the period of adoption. The net cumulative effectCompany elected the “package of this change was $4,496three” practical expedients and was recognized as a decrease to retained earningsdid not reassess expired or existing leases as of February 1, 2018.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The update outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The update states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in the amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Entities are required to apply the following steps when recognizing revenue under the update: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligation in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.effective date. The Company adopted this updatealso elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components as it pertains to real estate leases. Adoption on February 1, 20182019 resulted in the recognition of approximately $1.3 billion of lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments using the modified retrospective approach and applied the new guidance to all contracts that were not completeddiscount rates as of the adoptioneffective date. Corresponding right-of-use assets of approximately $1.1 billion were recognized, with the offsetting balance representing a reduction in the previously recognized deferred rent balance. Adoption resulteddid not result in a change inmaterial impact on the timingCompany’s Consolidated Statements of recognizing breakage income related to its gift cards and in recognizing estimated sales returns on a gross basis on its balance sheet. The net cumulative effectIncome or Consolidated Statements of this change was $11,060, after tax, and was recognized as an increase to retained earnings as of February 1, 2018. The difference in financial statement line item amounts in the current period under the new accounting guidance as compared to what the balances would be as reported under the previous accounting guidance is immaterial.Cash Flows.

Recently Issued

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. This includes loan commitments, accounts receivable, trade receivables and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance


also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The update will be effective for the Company on February 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential effectshas concluded that this update maywill not have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting. This update requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The update will be effective for the Company on February 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The update requires a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. While the Company expects adoption to result in a significant increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on its balance sheet, the Company is currently assessing the overallmaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue Recognition

Merchandise: Merchandise is sold through retail stores, catalogs and the digital sales channel, as well as to wholesale customers and franchise partners. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customer. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company will recognize revenue for its single performance obligation at the point of sale or at the time of shipment, which is when transfer of control to the customer occurs. Revenue does not include taxes assessed by governmental authorities, including value-added and other sales-related taxes, that are imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing activities. Revenue is recognized net of estimated customer returns. Retail segment return policies vary by brand, but generally provide for no time limit on returns and the refund to be issued in either the form of original payment or as a gift card. Payment for merchandise is tendered primarily by cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card. Uncollectible accounts receivable primarily results from unauthorized credit card transactions. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for its Wholesale segment accounts receivable, which management reviews on a regular basis and believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses and billing adjustments. Payment terms in the Wholesale segment vary by customer with the most common being a net 30-day policy.

Food and Beverage: Revenue from restaurant sales and events is recognized upon completion of the service, when the Company satisfies its single performance obligation. Customer deposits may be received in advance for events which represents a contract liability until the Company satisfies its performance obligation.

Franchise Fees: Revenue from franchise operations primarily relates to merchandise sales to franchisees and royalty fees. Merchandise sales to franchisees are discussed above under Merchandise. Royalty fees are based upon a percentage of franchisee net sales to third party customers and are recognized when such sales occur.

Gift Cards: The Company accounts for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. At the time of issuance, the Company has an open performance obligation for the future delivery of promised goods or services. The liability remains outstanding until the card is redeemed by the customer, at which time the Company recognizes revenue. Over time, a portion of the outstanding gift cards will not be redeemed by the customer (“breakage”). Revenue is recognized from breakage over time in proportion to gift card redemptions. Judgment is used in determining the amount of breakage revenue to be recognized and is based on historical gift card redemption patterns. Gift card breakage revenue is included in net sales and is not material. The Company’s gift cards do not expire.

See Note 13, “Segment Reporting,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information including net sales recorded by reportable segment and net sales from contracts with customers by merchandise category.

Contract Balances

Contract receivables occur when the Company satisfies all of its performance obligations under a contract and recognizes revenue prior to billing or receiving consideration from a customer for which it has an unconditional right to payment. Contract receivables arise from credit card transactions and sales to Wholesale segment customers and franchisees. For the sixthree month period ended July 31, 2018, the opening and closing balance of contract


receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $76,962 and $90,646, respectively. For the six month period ended July 31, 2017,April 30, 2019, the opening and closing balance of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $54,505$80,461 and $75,530,$88,390, respectively. For the three month period ended April 30, 2018, the opening and closing balance of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $76,962 and $88,936, respectively. Contract receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities represent unearned revenue and result from the Company receiving consideration in a contract with a customer for which it has not satisfied all of its performance obligations. The Company’s contract liabilities result from customer deposits, customer loyalty programs and the issuance of gift cards. Gift cards are expected to be redeemed within two years of issuance, with the majority of redemptions occurring in the first year. For the sixthree month period ended July 31,April 30, 2019, the opening and closing balances of contract liabilities were $49,747 and $43,187, respectively. For the three month period ended April 30, 2018, the opening and closing balancebalances of contract liabilities waswere $56,637 and $32,013, respectively. For the six month period ended July 31, 2017, the opening and closing balance of contract liabilities was $59,013 and $46,664,$34,543, respectively. Contract liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses, accrued compensation and other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the sixthree month period ended July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, the Company recognized $22,429$15,289 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $130,029$151,761 and $152,838$57,400 for the sixthree months ended July 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. The Company included in “Other income, net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, a net realized lossesgain of $0$7 for the three months ended April 30, 2019, and a net realized loss of $13 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2018, respectively, and net realized losses of $23 and $9 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017,


respectively.April 30, 2018. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, resulted in a reduction of “Other income, net” of $517$119 and $1,151$634 for the three and six months ended July 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $725 and $1,528 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017, respectively. Mutual funds represent assets held in an irrevocable rabbi trust for the Company’s Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”). These assets are a source of funds to match the funding obligations to participants in the NQDC but are subject to the Company’s general creditors. The Company elected the fair value option for financial assets for the mutual funds held in the rabbi trust resulting in all unrealized gains and losses being recorded in “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

5. Fair Value

The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach that relate to its financial assets and financial liabilities). The levels of the hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.


Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the tables below:

Financial assets

Level 1 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on inputs that use, as their basis, readily observable market data that are actively quoted and are validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services and brokers.

Level 2 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 assets consist of financial instruments where there has been no active market. The Company held no Level 3 financial instruments as of July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, January 31, 20182019 and July 31, 2017.April 30, 2018.


The fair value of cash and cash equivalents (Level 1) approximates carrying value since cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. As of July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, January 31, 20182019 and July 31, 2017,April 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand, cash in banks, money market accounts and marketable securities with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase.

Non-financial assets

The Company’s non-financial assets, primarily consisting of property and equipment and goodwill, are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and, in the case of goodwill, an annual assessment is performed.

The fair value of property and equipment was determined using a discounted cash-flow model that utilized Level 3 inputs. The Company’s retail locations are reviewed for impairment at the retail location level, which is the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. In calculating future cash flows, the Company makes estimates regarding future operating results based on its experience and knowledge of market factors in which the retail location is located. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. The Company evaluates goodwill to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. For the three and six months ended July 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, impairment charges were zero.

6. Debt

On June 29, 2018, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) that amended the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility with certain lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as joint lead arrangers and co-book managers.


The Amended Credit Agreement extended the maturity date of the senior secured revolving credit facility to June 2023 (the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Facility provides for loans and letters of credit up to $350,000, subject to a borrowing base that is comprised of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The Amended Credit Facility includes a swing-line sub-facility, a multicurrency sub-facility and the option to expand the facility by up to $150,000. The funds available under the Amended Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Amended Credit Facility provides for interest on borrowings, at the Company’s option, at either (i) adjusted LIBOR, CDOR or EURIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.375%, or (ii) an adjusted ABR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.375%, each such applicable margin depending on the level of availability under the Amended Credit Facility. Depending on the type of borrowing, interest on the Amended Credit Agreement is payable monthly, quarterly or at the end of the interest period. A commitment fee of 0.20% is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility.

All obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries. The obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in inventory, accounts receivable and certain other assets of the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries. The obligations of URBN Canada Retail, Inc. are secured by a first-priority security interest in its inventory, accounts receivable and certain other assets. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, negative and affirmative covenants and provisions relating to events of default.

As of July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all terms of the Amended Credit Agreement and borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility totaled $0. Outstanding stand-by letters of credit, which reduce the funds available under the Amended Credit Facility, were $12,663.$13,603.

Additionally, the Company has borrowing agreements with two separate financial institutions under which the Company may borrow an aggregate of $130,000 for the purposes of trade letter of credit issuances. The availability of any future borrowings under the trade letter of credit facilities is subject to acceptance by the respective financial


institutions. As of July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding trade letters of credit of $59,197,$76,362 and available trade letters of credit of $70,803$53,638 under these facilities.

7. Income TaxesLeases

The new federal tax legislation commonly referredCompany has operating leases for stores, distribution and fulfillment centers, corporate offices and equipment. The Company subleases certain properties to third parties. The Company has elected not to record a lease liability and right-of-use asset for leases with original terms of 12 months or less. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components as it pertains to real estate leases.

Store leases have remaining lease terms that range from less than one year up to 15 years, some of which contain options to extend the U.S. Tax Cutlease for one or two 5-year periods. Payments related to a renewal period are included in the lease liability and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) enactedright-of-use asset only when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option to renew the lease for an extended period of time. Certain leases may contain variable lease payments such as rent based on December 22, 2017 (the “Enactment Date”) introduced significant changesa percentage of net sales. Variable lease payments may be subject to U.S. income tax law. Effective for tax years beginninga breakpoint threshold of fixed rent. Variable lease payments, other than those that depend on an index or after January 1, 2018,a rate, are not included in the Tax Act reducedmeasurement of the U.S. federal corporate income taxlease liability. The lease liability is calculated at the present value of certain future payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate from 35%which approximates the rate of interest the Company would pay to 21%borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a fully collateralized basis over a similar term. Significant judgment is used in determining the incremental borrowing rate.

Total operating lease costs and created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earningsvariable lease costs were $66,248 and certain intercompany payments.

The Company’s effective tax rate for$17,939, respectively, during the three months ended July 31, 2018 was 21.7% ofApril 30, 2019.

As of April 30, 2019, the Company had commitments of approximately $56,890 not included in the six months ended July 31, 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 31, 2018, compared with the same periods in 2017, was primarily affected by the Tax Act, which reduced the Company’s income tax rate to 21%, and by favorable discrete items occurring in the fiscal 2019 periodsamounts above related to share-based award activity.nine executed but not yet commenced leases for stores and a fulfillment center.

13. Segment Reporting

The Company offers lifestyle-oriented general merchandise and consumer products and services through a portfolio of global consumer brands. The Company operates twohas three reportable segments—“Retail”segments – “Retail,” “Wholesale” and “Wholesale.“Subscription.” The Company’s Retail segment consists of the “Anthropologie,” “Bhldn,” “Free People,” “Terrain” and “Urban Outfitters” brands and the Food and Beverage division. The Anthropologie, Bhldn and Terrain brands make up the “Anthropologie Group.” As of July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, there were 246245 Urban Outfitters stores, 227228 Anthropologie Group stores, 135136 Free People stores, ten12 restaurants under the Food and Beverage division, and twofour Urban Outfitters franchise locations.franchisee-owned stores, one Anthropologie Group franchisee-owned store and one Free People franchisee-owned store. Each of Urban Outfitters, the Anthropologie Group and Free People, including their Company-owned and franchisee-owned stores and digital channels, and the restaurants operated under the Company’s Food and Beverage division, are considered an operating segment. Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for approximately 90.9%90.5% and 90.8% of total consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2018, respectively. Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for approximately 90.6% of total consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017.April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The remaining net sales are derived from the Company’s Wholesale segment which consists of the Free People, Anthropologie and AnthropologieUrban Outfitters brands that sell through approximately 2,1002,200 department and specialty stores worldwide, digital businesses and the Company’s Retail segment. The Wholesale segment primarily designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel, intimates, FP Movement activewear and shoes under the Free People brand, and home goods including gifts, tabletop and textiles under the Anthropologie brand and the BDG apparel collection under the Urban Outfitters brand. The AnthropologieUrban Outfitters wholesale division was established in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.2019. The Subscription segment consists of the “Nuuly” brand and is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that is planned to launch in the summer of 2019.

The Company has aggregated its brands into the Retail segment based upon their shared management, customer base and economic characteristics. Reporting in this format provides management with the financial information necessary to evaluate the success of the segments and the overall business. The Company evaluates the performance of the segments based on the net sales and pre-tax income from operations (excluding intercompany charges) of the segment. Corporate expenses include expenses incurred and directed by the corporate office that are not allocated to segments. The principal identifiable assets for each reporting segment are inventory and property and equipment.

Other assets are comprised primarily of general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, deferred taxes and prepaid expenses, whichand are typically not allocated to the Company’s segments. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties making similar volume purchases.

The Company’s omni-channel strategy enhances its customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. All available Company-owned shopping channels are fully integrated, including stores, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers. The Company’s investments in areas such as marketing campaigns and technology advancements are designed to generate demand


for the omni-channel and not the separate store or digital channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory but may also be shipped from any of the Company’s fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. We also allow customers to view in-store inventory from our websites and mobile applications. Digital orders are primarily shipped to the Company’s customers through its fulfillment centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of fulfillment centers and stores depending on the availability of particular items. Digital orders may also be picked up at a particular item. In addition,store location, and customers can pick up digital orders andmay also return certain merchandise purchased through digital channels at retailstore locations. As the Company’s customers continue to shop across multiple channels, the Company has adapted its approach towards meeting this demand. Due to the availability of like product in a variety of shopping channels, the Company sources these products utilizing single stock keeping units based on the omni-channel demand rather than the demand of the separate channels. These and other technological capabilities allow the Company to better serve its customers and help it to complete a sale that otherwise may not have occurred due to out-of-stock positions. We manageThe Company manages and analyze ouranalyzes its performance based on a single omni-channel rather than separate channels and believe that the omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of ourits performance.


The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the policies described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.2019.

We disclaim any intent or obligation to update forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that actual results may differ materially from any projected results expressed or implied therein.

Retail Segment

Our omni-channel strategy enhances our customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. All available Company-owned shopping channels are fully integrated, including stores, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers. Our investments in areas such as marketing campaigns and technology advancements are designed to generate demand for the omni-channel and not the separate store or digital channels. Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is not available at the original store. We also allow customers to view in-store inventory from our websites and mobile applications. Digital orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our fulfillment centers, but may also be shipped from any store, or a combination of fulfillment centers and stores depending on the availability of particular items.


Digital orders may also be picked up at a store location, and customers may also return certain merchandise purchased through digital channels at store


locations. As our customers continue to shop across multiple channels, we have adapted our approach towards meeting this demand. Due to the availability of like product in a variety of shopping channels, we source these products utilizing single stock keeping units based on the omni-channel demand rather than the demand of the separate channels. These and other technological capabilities allow us to better serve our customers and help us complete sales that otherwise may not have occurred due to out-of-stock positions. We manage and analyze our performance based on a single omni-channel rather than separate channels and believe that the 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. 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 channel are considered to be non-comparable. Franchise revenuenet sales and the effects of foreign currency translation are also considered non-comparable.

We monitor customer traffic, average unit selling price, transactions and average units per transaction at our stores, and we monitor customer sessions, average order value, and conversion rates and average units per transaction 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 and digital marketing campaigns, circulation of our catalogs and an overall growth in brand recognition.

Food and Beverage restaurants and franchisefranchisee-owned stores are not included in selling square footage.

We plan to open approximately 18 new stores during fiscal 2019, including five Urban Outfitters stores, four Anthropologie Group stores, six Free People stores and three Food and Beverage restaurants. We plan to close approximately 13 stores during fiscal 2019, including five Urban Outfitters stores, two Anthropologie Group stores


and six Free People stores, all due to lease expirations. Within the United States and Canada, we are at or close to our desired maximum store count for the Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People brands. We plan for future store growth for all three brands to come from expansion internationally, which may include opening stores in new and existing markets or entering into additional franchise or joint venture agreements. We plan for future digital channel growth to come from expansion domestically and internationally, including enhancing our presence in third-party digital marketplaces, such as Tmall in China and through our franchise partners. The Company is currently party to a franchise agreement for franchise locations in Israel and in fiscal 2019 signed a second franchise agreement to open stores in other Middle Eastern countries in fiscal 2020.

Wholesale Segment

Our Wholesale segment consists of the Free People, Anthropologie and AnthropologieUrban Outfitters brands that sell through approximately 2,1002,200 department and specialty stores worldwide, third-party digital businesses and our Retail segment. The Wholesale segment primarily designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel, intimates, FP Movement activewear and shoes under the Free People brand, and home goods including gifts, tabletop and textiles under the Anthropologie brand and the BDG apparel collection under the Urban Outfitters brand. The AnthropologieUrban Outfitters wholesale division was established in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.2019. Our Wholesale segment net sales accounted for approximately 9.2%9.5% of consolidated net sales for the sixthree months ended July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, compared to 9.4% for the comparable period in fiscal 2018.2019.

Subscription Segment

Our Subscription segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that is planned to launch in the summer of 2019. For a monthly fee, Nuuly subscribers will select from a robust offering of the Company’s own brands, third-party labels and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces for rent via a custom-built, digital platform. Subscribers will also be able to purchase the product being rented.


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 senior management has reviewed the critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. 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, 2018,2019, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.1, 2019. 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. We adopted the new accounting standards related to revenue recognition and intra-entity asset transfersleases on February 1, 2018,2019, which changed certain accounting policies (see Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Other than the adoption of the new accounting standards, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the sixthree months ended July 31, 2018.April 30, 2019.

The increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by continueddouble-digit growth in the digital channel, and positivepartially offset by mid single-digit negative comparable store net sales. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 1.3% in North America offset by a decline of 4.6% in Europe due to a difficult macroeconomic environment. The digital channel net sales increase was driven by increasesan increase in sessions, conversion rate and units per transaction, while average order value sessions and conversion rate. Positivedecreased. Negative comparable store net sales resulted from increasesa decrease in transactions, average unit selling price transactions and traffic, partially offset by an increase in units per transaction.

The increasedecrease in gross profit percentage was primarily driven by lower gross profit in the Retail segment while gross profit in the Wholesale segment increased. The decrease in Retail segment gross profit rate was driven by higher markdowns and deleverage in delivery and logistics expenses. The higher markdowns were largely driven by underperforming women’s apparel at all three brandsthe Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters brands. The deleverage in delivery and logistics expenses is primarily due to the increase in penetration of the digital channel. Retail segment store occupancy deleveraged due to negative store comparable net sales, partially offset by a benefit or leverage in store occupancy cost due to strong Retail segment comparable net sales. These gains were partially offset by deleverage in delivery expense due in part toresulting from the increased penetration of the digital channel. The improvement in Wholesale segment gross profit rate was due to a higher penetration of sales to full price customers versus closeout customers.

Six Months Ended July 31, 2018 Compared To Six Months Ended July 31, 2017

Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2018 were $1.85 billion, compared to $1.63 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2018.

Retail segment net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2018 accounted for 90.8% of total net sales compared to 90.6% of total net sales in the six months ended July 31, 2017.

The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2019 was due to an increase of $167.3 million, or 11.7%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, which includes our digital channel, and an increase of $29.3 million in non-comparable net sales, including the impact of foreign currency translation and new store net sales.

The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable sales was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation and the result of operating 12 net new stores and restaurants during the first half of fiscal 2019 that were not in operation for the full comparable first half of fiscal 2018.

The increase in Wholesale segment net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2019, as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2018, was primarily due to an increase in units sold both domestically and internationally in department stores, specialty stores and digital businesses, which was partially offset by a decrease in average unit selling price.

Gross profit percentage for the first six months of fiscal 2019 increased to 34.4% of net sales, from 32.9% of net sales in the comparable period in fiscal 2018. Gross profit increased to $636.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019 from $537.1 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2018. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily driven by lower markdowns at all three brands and leverage in store occupancy cost due to strong Retail segment comparable net sales. These gains were partially offset by deleverage in delivery expense due in part to the increased penetration of the digital channel.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased during the first six months of fiscal 2019 to 25.2% of net sales, compared to 27.0% of net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2018. This percentage decrease was primarily driven by the net sales growth, continued savings associated with the fiscal 2018 store reorganization project and the current year benefit associated with the nonrecurring store reorganization expenses incurred in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $24.8 million, or 5.6%, to $465.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2019, compared to the first half of fiscal 2018. The dollar growth in


selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased direct selling and marketing expenses to support and drive the increase in Retail segment net sales and higher bonus expense including a one-time discretionary bonus.

Income from operations increased to 9.2% of net sales, or $170.7 million, for the first half of fiscal 2019 compared to 5.9% of net sales, or $96.2 million, for the first half of fiscal 2018.

Our effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2019 was 22.3% of income before income taxes compared to 37.1%23.6% of income before income taxes in the first halfquarter of fiscal 2018.2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 was primarilyfavorably impacted by approximately 140 basis points and 120 basis points, respectively, due to the lower federal statutory rate resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and by favorable discrete items occurring in the first half of fiscal 2019 related to share-based awardequity activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $649.4$614.3 million as of July 31, 2018,April 30, 2019, as compared to $506.0$694.8 million as of January 31, 20182019 and $412.9$515.2 million as of July 31, 2017.April 30, 2018. During the first sixthree months of fiscal 2019,2020, we generated $218.8$25.9 million in cash from operations and invested $55.6$37.7 million in property and equipment. Our working capital was $771.8$491.1 million at July 31, 2018April 30, 2019 compared to $618.5$816.1 million at January 31, 20182019 and $567.5$682.0 million at July 31, 2017.April 30, 2018. Working capital as of April 30, 2019 was negatively impacted by $214.4 million for the current portion of operating lease liabilities due to the adoption of an accounting standards update that amended the accounting standards for lease accounting (see Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion).


During the last two years, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operating activities. Our primary uses of cash have been to repurchase our common shares, open new stores, purchase inventory, fund store operations and expand our home offices and fulfillment centers. We have also continued to invest in our omni-channel capabilities and technology.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities during the first sixthree months of fiscal 2019 increased2020 decreased by $95.5$28.2 million to $218.8$25.9 million from $123.3$54.1 million in the first halfthree months of fiscal 2018.2019. For both periods, 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 period over period increasedecrease in cash flows from operations was primarily due to higher net income.the timing of disbursements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the first sixthree months of fiscal 2019 increased2020 decreased by $87.6$3.6 million to $94.4$15.9 million from $6.8$19.5 million in the first sixthree months of fiscal 2018.2019. Cash used in investing activities in both periods primarily related to 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 sixthree months of fiscal 2020 and 2019 and 2018 was $55.6$37.7 million and $43.0$24.6 million, respectively, which was primarily used to expand our fulfillment center network in fiscal 2020 and expand our store base.base in fiscal 2019.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided byused in financing activities during the first sixthree months of fiscal 2019 increased by $98.82020 was a cash outflow of $75.7 million compared to a cash inflow of $7.1 million compared to a cash outflow of $91.7$0.2 million in the first sixthree months of fiscal 2018.2019. Cash used in financing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2020 primarily related to repurchases of our common shares under our share repurchase program. Cash provided by financing activities in the first sixthree months of fiscal 2019 primarily related to proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by share repurchases related to taxes for share-based awards. Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2018 primarily related to $90.5 million of repurchases of our common shares under our share repurchase program.

Capital and Operating Expenditures

During fiscal 2019,2020, we plan to construct and open approximately 1824 new Company-owned retail locations, open our new European home office, expand or relocate certain existing retail locations, upgrade our systems, improve and expand our capabilities in the digital channel,capabilities, invest in omni-channel marketing, expand our fulfillment capabilities, invest in new products, markets and brands (including the launch of the apparel subscription rental service Nuuly), purchase inventory for our Retailnew and Wholesaleexisting operating segments at appropriate levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales growth and may repurchase 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 Retail segment sales growth. During fiscal 2019,2020, we plan to continue our investment in these initiatives for all brands. We anticipate our capital expenditures during fiscal 20192020 to be approximately $110$260 million, alla significant portion of which will be to support new and expanded fulfillment and distribution centers in Bristol, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Europe. All fiscal 2020 capital expenditures are expected to be financed by cash flow from operating activities. We believe that our new store investments 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.
