Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fiscal Year-End The Company operates on a fiscal year ending January 31 of each year. All references to fiscal years of the Company refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, the Company’s fiscal 2019 ended on January 31, 2019. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. These short-term highly liquid investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. As of January 31, 2019 and 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. Marketable Securities All of the Company’s marketable securities as of January 31, 2019 and January 31, 2018 are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company records unrealized gains and losses on these securities (other than mutual funds held in the rabbi trust for the Urban Outfitters, Inc. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (See Note 4, “Marketable Securities”)) as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within “Shareholders’ equity” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until realized, except when the Company considers declines in value to be other than temporary. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized losses. Mutual funds held in the rabbi trust have been accounted for under the fair value option, which results in all unrealized gains and losses being recorded in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. When available-for-sale securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine the realized gain or loss. Securities classified as current assets have maturity dates of less than or equal to one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as non-current assets have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from the Company’s wholesale customers as well as credit card receivables outstanding with third-party credit card vendors. The activity of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was as follows: Balance at beginning of year Additions Deductions Balance at end of year Year ended January 31, 2019 $ 1,326 3,919 (3,746 ) $ 1,499 Year ended January 31, 2018 $ 588 4,435 (3,697 ) $ 1,326 Year ended January 31, 2017 $ 664 4,892 (4,968 ) $ 588 Inventory Inventory, which consists primarily of general consumer merchandise held for sale, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of merchandise and import-related costs, including freight, import duties and taxes and agent commissions. A periodic review of inventory is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Factors the Company considers in its review, such as future expected consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale discounts and class or type of inventory, are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable value. Criteria that the Company considers in its review of aging trends include average selling cycle and seasonality of merchandise, the historical rate at which Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and primarily consist of store leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, buildings and other operating equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements, five years for furniture and fixtures, 39 years for buildings and three to ten years for other operating equipment. Major renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of our assets are capitalized over the lesser of the extension period, life of the improvement, or the remaining term of the lease. Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets annually and periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include plans to close a retail location, distribution or fulfillment center or a significant decrease in the operating results of a long-lived asset. 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. When events indicate that an asset may be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, the impaired asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recorded. 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. During fiscal 2019, we recorded impairment charges for four Deferred Rent Rent expense from leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The net excess of rent expense over the actual cash paid is recorded as deferred rent. In addition, certain store leases provide for contingent rentals when sales exceed specified breakpoint levels that are weighted based upon historical cyclicality. For leases where achievement of these levels is considered probable based on cumulative lease year revenue versus the established breakpoint at any given point in time, the Company accrues a contingent rent liability and a corresponding rent expense. Operating Leases The Company leases its retail stores under operating leases. Many of the lease agreements contain rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions or some combination of these items. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period commencing on the date that the premises are available from the landlord. The lease period includes the construction period required to make the leased space suitable for operating during which time the Company is not permitted to occupy the space. For purposes of calculating straight-line rent expense, the commencement date of the lease term reflects the date the Company takes possession of the building for initial construction and setup. The Company receives certain lease incentives and tenant improvement allowances in conjunction with entering into operating leases. Tenant improvement allowances are recorded as deferred rent on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the related lease on the Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 and that represent 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 which we refer to as “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. Customer Loyalty Programs: The Company maintains a customer loyalty program under the Urban Outfitters brand. Under this program, customers can earn and accumulate points that convert to a reward coupon upon reaching the specified point threshold. Reward coupons expire 60 days after issuance. Outstanding reward coupons and points earned through sale activity represent a performance obligation. Revenue is deferred in an amount equal to the standalone selling price, taking into account expected future redemptions, and recognized at the earlier of redemption or expiration. Judgment is used in determining the expected future redemption rates. The redemption and expiration of reward coupons are included in net sales. There are no material accounting policies related to the AnthroPerks customer loyalty program outside of the Company’s general revenue recognition practices. Sales Return Reserve The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns where the sale has occurred during the period reported, but the return is likely to occur subsequent to the period reported. The reserve for estimated product returns is based on the Company’s most recent historical return trends. If the actual Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes the following: the cost of merchandise; merchandise markdowns; obsolescence and shrink provisions; store occupancy costs, including rent and depreciation; delivery expense; inbound and outbound freight; customs related taxes and duties; inventory acquisition and purchasing costs; design costs; warehousing and handling costs; and other inventory acquisition related costs. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses such as direct selling and selling supervisory expenses; marketing expenses; various corporate expenses such as information systems, finance, loss prevention, talent acquisition, home office and executive management expenses; share-based compensation expense; and other associated general expenses. Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs The Company includes shipping and handling revenues in net sales and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales. The Company’s shipping and handling revenues consist of amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling merchandise. Shipping and handling costs include shipping supplies, related labor costs and third-party shipping costs. Advertising The Company expenses the costs of advertising when the advertising occurs, except for certain digital channel advertising, which is capitalized and expensed when the catalog is mailed or the content is published on the Company’s websites and mobile applications. Advertising costs primarily relate to Retail segment marketing expenses which are comprised of web marketing, catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs related to production of photographic images used in the Company’s catalogs, websites, mobile applications and social media campaigns. If there is no expected future benefit, the cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising costs reported as prepaid expenses were $2,466 and $2,491 as of January 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Store Opening Costs The Company expenses all store opening and organization costs as incurred, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs, and all such costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Website Development Costs The Company capitalizes applicable costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage and expenses costs incurred during the planning and operating stage. During fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, capitalized costs related to internally generated internal-use software were not material. Income Taxes The Company utilizes a balance sheet approach to provide for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for in the period earned. The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return (see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” for a further discussion of income taxes). The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents include the effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”), restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance stock units (“PSU’s”). Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income is comprised of two subsets—net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss relate to foreign currency Foreign Currency The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, equity accounts at historical exchange rates, while income statement accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income, but are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within “Shareholders’ equity.” Remeasurement gains and losses included in operating results for fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017 were not material. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company manages the credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities by investing in high-quality securities held with reputable trustees and, by policy, limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer or issue, as well as providing limitations on investment maturities. The Company’s investment policy requires that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in corporate and municipal bonds rated “BBB” or better, commercial paper and federally insured or guaranteed investment vehicles such as certificates of deposit, United States treasury bills and federal government agencies. Receivables from third-party credit cards are processed by financial institutions, which are monitored for financial stability. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its Wholesale segment customers. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects current market conditions and management’s assessment regarding the collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of such limits. Management believes that it is not exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business activities. The Company records a reserve for estimated losses when information available Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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. The update requires the recognition of tax expense when an intra-entity asset transfer occurs as opposed to being deferred under the existing guidance. The Company adopted the new guidance on February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The net cumulative effect of this change was $4,496 and was recognized as a decrease to retained earnings 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. The Company adopted this update on February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and applied the new guidance to all contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date. Adoption resulted in a change in the timing 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 effect 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. 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 effects this update may 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 became effective for the Company on February 1, 2019. The update allows for a modified retrospective transition approach applied either as of the earliest period presented in the financial statements or as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company decided to adopt this update using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the period of adoption. The update includes a number of practical expedients, of which the Company decided to elect the “package of three” and will not reassess expired or existing leases as of the effective date. The Company also decided to elect the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. Adoption on February 1, 2019 will result in the recognition of approximately $1.3 billion of lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments using discount rates as of the effective date. Corresponding right-of-use assets of approximately $1.2 billion will be recognized, with the offsetting balance representing a reduction in the previously recognized deferred rent balance. Adoption will not result in a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer	3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers 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 year ended January 31, 2019, the opening and closing balance of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $76,962 and $80,461, respectively. For the year ended January 31, 2018, the opening and closing balance of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $54,505 and $76,962, 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 year ended January 31, 2019, the opening and closing balance of contract liabilities was $56,637 and $49,747, respectively. For the year ended January 31, 2018, the opening and closing balance of contract liabilities was $59,013 and $56,637, respectively. Contract liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended January 31, 2019, the Company recognized $30,265 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. See Note 16, “Segment Reporting,” for additional information including net sales recorded by reportable segment and net sales from contracts with customers by merchandise category.

The Company included in “Interest income,” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, net realized losses of $22, $35 and $83 during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, resulted in a reduction of “Interest income” of $1,695, $2,588 and $2,200 for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 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 “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	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: Marketable Securities Fair Value as of January 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Corporate bonds $ 261,333 $ — $ — $ 261,333 Municipal and pre-refunded municipal bonds — 51,232 — 51,232 Federal government agencies 8,062 — — 8,062 Mutual funds, held in rabbi trust 6,751 — — 6,751 Certificates of deposit — 3,193 — 3,193 Commercial paper 2,979 — 2,979 Treasury bills 2,974 — — 2,974 $ 279,120 $ 57,404 $ — $ 336,524 Marketable Securities Fair Value as of January 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Corporate bonds $ 151,053 $ — $ — $ 151,053 Municipal and pre-refunded municipal bonds — 62,303 — 62,303 Mutual funds, held in rabbi trust 6,237 — — 6,237 Certificates of deposit — 4,220 — 4,220 $ 157,290 $ 66,523 $ — $ 223,813 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 January 31, 2019 and January 31, 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 January 31, 2019 and 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. The fair value of debt approximates its carrying value as it is all variable rate debt. 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. During fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets at the Company’s retail locations were unable to recover their carrying value. These assets were written down to a fair value resulting in impairment charges of $3,544, $11,410 and $4,341 in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Debt	8. 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 January 31, 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 $13,243. 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 January 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding trade letters of credit of $70,850, and available trade letters of credit of $59,150 under these facilities.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act significantly changed existing U.S. tax law that affected fiscal 2019 and 2018, by, among other things: (i) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (ii) requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that is payable over eight years; (iii) implementing bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property; (iv) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on certain dividends from foreign subsidiaries; (v) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax, a new minimum tax; (vi) creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; and (vii) creating the global intangibles low-tax income (“GILTI”) inclusions. The Tax Act reduced the federal corporate tax rate to 21% as of January 1, 2018. Due to Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company had a blended corporate tax rate of 33.8% for fiscal 2018. The Company’s federal corporate tax rate was 21% for fiscal 2019. In fiscal 2018, the Company recorded provisional estimates for U.S. tax reform in its provision for income taxes, which amounted to an expense of $64,705. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB No. 118”) allowed registrants to record provisional estimates for U.S. tax reform during a measurement period not to exceed one year from the enactment date, December 22, 2017. In fiscal 2019, the Company recorded an additional net $1,197 tax expense to adjust its initial provisional estimates for U.S. tax reform in its provision for income taxes. Reduction of U.S. Federal Corporate Tax Rate The Tax Act reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. For certain of the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities, the Company recorded an adjustment in December 2018 to adjust its initial provisional estimate for the impact of the reduction in its U.S. corporation rate. The adjustment was specifically related to changes to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities upon filing of the Company’s 2017 tax return, which impacted the Company’s initial estimate of the revaluation of these deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the reduced corporate tax rate. Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax The Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax (“Transition Tax”) is a tax on previously untaxed accumulated and current E&P of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. To determine the amount of the Transition Tax, the Company must determine, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings. The Company recorded an adjustment in December 2018 to adjust its initial provisional estimate for the Transition Tax. The adjustment was specifically related to changes in estimates for previously untaxed accumulated and current E&P of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, and the associated foreign tax credits. Global Intangibles Low-tax Income The Tax Act creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e., GILTI) earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder. GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s net CFC-tested income over the net deemed tangible income return, which is currently defined as the excess of (i) 10% of the aggregate of the U.S. shareholder’s pro rata share of the qualified business asset investment of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder over, (ii) the amount of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net CFC-tested income. The Company has elected to treat taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred (i.e., the period cost method). While management has completed its analysis within the applicable measurement period, pursuant to SAB No. 118, the Company is accounting for the tax impact of the Tax Act based on an interpretation of existing statutory law, including guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). During the second half of fiscal 2019, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS issued certain proposed regulations addressing new provisions such as GILTI, Base Erosion and Anti-abuse Tax, Foreign Tax Credit and the Anti-hybrid Regulations. While there can be no assurances as to the effect of any final regulations on the Company’s income tax provision, management will continue to evaluate the impact as any regulations issued become final. The components of income before income taxes are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2019 2018 2017 Domestic $ 336,823 $ 208,787 $ 297,347 Foreign 48,730 52,579 40,752 $ 385,553 $ 261,366 $ 338,099 The components of the provision for income tax expense/(benefit) are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2019 2018 2017 Current: Federal $ 71,520 $ 124,988 $ 103,951 State 18,088 10,772 15,130 Foreign 9,356 9,014 5,699 $ 98,964 $ 144,774 $ 124,780 Deferred: Federal $ (6,818 ) $ 10,270 $ (5,765 ) State 965 (1,914 ) 1,029 Foreign (5,561 ) (27 ) (65 ) (11,414 ) 8,329 (4,801 ) $ 87,550 $ 153,103 $ 119,979 The following table reflects the differences between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2019 2018 2017 Expected provision at statutory U.S. federal tax rate 21.0 % 33.8 % 35.0 % State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 3.9 2.3 3.1 Foreign taxes (1.5 ) (3.4 ) (2.9 ) Net impact of U.S. tax reform 0.3 24.7 — Other (1.0 ) 1.2 0.3 Effective tax rate 22.7 % 58.6 % 35.5 % The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: January 31, 2019 2018 Deferred tax liabilities: Prepaid expense $ (1,729 ) $ (2,358 ) Depreciation (39,303 ) (38,662 ) Other temporary differences (1,258 ) (1,017 ) Gross deferred tax liabilities (42,290 ) (42,037 ) Deferred tax assets: Deferred rent 52,409 54,958 Inventory 10,579 9,726 Accounts receivable 2,198 1,240 Net operating loss carryforwards 1,945 2,364 Tax uncertainties 953 1,033 Accrued salaries and benefits 20,216 14,437 Income tax credits 4,659 5,399 Other temporary differences 6,119 8,533 Gross deferred tax assets, before valuation allowances 99,078 97,690 Valuation allowances (3,906 ) (9,451 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 52,882 $ 46,202 Net deferred tax assets are attributed to the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, $22,885 and $19,061 were attributable to U.S. federal, $15,079 and $16,848 were attributed to state jurisdictions and $14,918 and $10,293 were attributed to foreign jurisdictions. As of January 31, 2019, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $471 that expire from 2019 through 2029 and approximately $5,689 that do not expire. Certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $7,641 that expire from 2021 through 2038 and approximately $2,866 that do not expire. Certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had state credit carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $5,954 that expire from 2021 through 2031. As of January 31, 2019, the Company had a full valuation allowance for certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards and a partial valuation allowance against state credit carryforwards where it was uncertain the carryforwards would be utilized. The Company had no valuation allowance for certain other foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards where management believes it is more-likely-than-not the tax benefit of these carryforwards will be realized. As of January 31, 2019, approximately $224,876 of cash and cash equivalents were held by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes have been provided. Additionally, the Company has cumulative undistributed earnings of $352,076 that were subject to the one-time deemed repatriation transition tax required by the Tax Act. The Company continues to believe that certain foreign earnings are indefinitely reinvested; however, as the Company continues to evaluate the impacts of the Tax Act, the Company may change this assertion in a future period. Since under the Tax Act there will be no additional federal income taxes when these amounts are repatriated, and the relevant foreign jurisdictions do not impose a withholding tax on dividends, the Company would only be subject to state income tax on these earnings. A change in this assertion in a future period would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: January 31, Tax Benefit Reconciliation 2019 2018 2017 Balance at the beginning of the period $ 4,546 $ 5,798 $ 7,838 Increases in tax positions for prior years 18,077 45 21 Decreases in tax positions for prior years (921 ) (511 ) (725 ) Increases in tax positions for current year 196 128 187 Settlements — — (590 ) Lapse in statute of limitations (492 ) (914 ) (933 ) Balance at the end of the period $ 21,406 $ 4,546 $ 5,798 The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate were $21,319 and $4,127 as of January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. During the years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized expense/(benefit) of $449, ($209) and ($218), respectively, related to interest and penalties. The Company accrued $822 and $568 for the payment of interest and penalties as of January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In November 2017, the Company received notification that the Company’s U.S. income tax return for the period ended January 31, 2016 was selected for examination. The Company is also under audit in certain foreign jurisdictions. Certain federal, foreign and state jurisdictions are subject to audit from fiscal 2009 to 2018. It is possible that a state or foreign examination may be resolved within 12 months. Due to the potential for resolution of federal and foreign audit and state examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next 12 months by a range of zero to $3,083.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	10. Share-Based Compensation The Company’s 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) authorized up to 10,000,000 common shares, which can be granted as restricted stock, RSU’s, PSU’s, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, SAR’s and stock grant awards. As of January 31, 2019, there were 9,813,500 common shares available to grant under the 2017 Plan. The Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) authorized up to 10,000,000 common shares, which can be granted as RSU’s, unrestricted shares, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, PSU’s or SAR’s. As of January 31, 2019, there were 4,238,213 common shares available to grant under the 2008 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2008 Plan, certain awards may not be granted after February 25, 2018. Awards under the 2017 Plan and the 2008 Plan generally expire seven or ten years from the date of grant, thirty days after termination of employment or six months after the date of death or termination due to disability of the grantee. During fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate expected forfeitures. During fiscal 2017, based on the Company’s historical experience, it assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for its unvested share-based awards granted during the respective years. Share-based compensation expense, included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2019 2018 2017 Stock Options $ 1,854 $ 897 $ 1,002 Stock Appreciation Rights 4 142 240 Performance Stock Units (1) 2,463 3,562 12,349 Restricted Stock Units 13,783 9,916 4,700 Total $ 18,104 $ 14,517 $ 18,291 (1) Includes: (i) the reversal of $4,213 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2019, related to 313,077 PSU’s that will not vest as the achievement of the related performance target is not probable; (ii) the reversal of $11,515 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2018, related to 871,779 PSU’s that will not vest as the achievement of the related performance target is not probable; and (iii) the reversal of $7,908 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2017, related to 505,510 PSU’s that will not vest as the achievement of the related performance target is not probable. The total tax benefit associated with share-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $4,465, $5,438 and $7,132, respectively. The tax benefit realized from share-based compensation for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $8,309, $1,753 and $2,272, respectively. Stock Options The Company may grant stock options that generally vest over a period of one year. Stock options become exercisable over the vesting period in installments determined by the Company, which can vary depending upon each individual grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors generally vest over a period of one year. A Black-Scholes model was used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted in fiscal years ended January 31, 2018 and 2017. A different model was used to value fiscal 2019 grants due to changes in grant provisions under the 2017 Plan. Both models use assumptions including the risk-free rate of interest, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price and expected life of the awards. The Company uses historical data on exercise timing to determine the expected life assumption. The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on U.S. Government Securities Treasury Constant Maturities over the expected term of the equity instrument. The expected volatility is based on a weighted-average of the implied volatility and the Company’s most recent historical volatility. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the models to estimate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2019 2018 2017 Expected life, in years 5.4 3.4 3.4 Risk-free interest rate 2.8 % 1.6 % 0.9 % Volatility 35.6 % 40.2 % 34.2 % Dividend rate — — — The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019: Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Contractual Terms (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Awards outstanding at beginning of year 900,000 $ 32.01 3.4 $ 3,933 Granted 140,000 46.42 Exercised (430,000 ) 31.67 Forfeited or Expired — — Awards outstanding at end of year 610,000 35.55 3.9 $ 2,007 Awards outstanding fully vested and expected to vest 610,000 35.55 3.9 $ 2,007 Awards exercisable at end of year 470,000 $ 32.31 3.2 $ 2,007 The following table summarizes other information related to stock options during the years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2019 2018 2017 Weighted-average grant date fair value—per share $ 17.12 $ 5.37 $ 7.31 Intrinsic value of awards exercised $ 4,369 $ — $ 1,566 Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options $ 13,618 $ — $ 4,096 Total unrecognized compensation cost of stock options granted but not yet vested, as of January 31, 2019, was $821, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 0.3 year. Stock Appreciation Rights The Company may grant SAR’s that generally vest over a five year period. Each vested SAR entitles the holder the right to the differential between the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of exercise and the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of grant. There were no SAR’s granted during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The following table summarizes the Company’s SAR activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019: Awards Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Awards outstanding at beginning of year 214,975 $ 32.69 1.6 $ 493 Granted — — Exercised (197,600 ) 32.45 Forfeited or Expired (7,375 ) 32.80 Awards outstanding at end of year 10,000 37.34 1.7 $ — Awards outstanding fully vested and expected to vest 10,000 37.34 1.7 $ — Awards exercisable at end of year 10,000 $ 37.34 1.7 $ — The following table summarizes other information related to SAR’s during the years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2019 2018 2017 Intrinsic value of awards exercised $ 1,451 $ 5 $ 566 There were no unrecognized compensation costs of SAR’s granted, but not yet vested, as of January 31, 2019. Performance Stock Units The Company may grant PSU’s that vest based on the achievement of various company performance targets and external market conditions. The fair value of the PSU’s are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. This model uses assumptions including the risk free interest rate, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price and expected life of the awards. The Company makes certain estimates about the number of awards that will vest. Once the Company determines that it is probable that the performance targets will be met, compensation expense is recorded for these awards. If any of these performance targets are not met, the awards are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one common share with varying maximum award value limitations. PSU’s typically vest over a two to five-year period. The following table summarizes the Company’s PSU activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019: Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value Non-vested awards outstanding at beginning of year 2,667,261 $ 21.84 Granted 100,000 34.76 Vested (468,525 ) 22.45 Forfeited (943,109 ) 22.08 Non-vested awards outstanding at end of year 1,355,627 $ 22.45 The weighted-average grant date fair value of PSU’s awarded during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $34.76, $23.38 and $27.30, per share, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSU’s as of January 31, 2019 was $5,137, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Restricted Stock Units The Company may grant RSU’s that vest based on the achievement of specified service conditions. RSU’s typically vest over a two to five-year period. The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019: Shares Weighted- Average Fair Value Non-vested awards outstanding at beginning of year 1,091,500 $ 26.92 Granted 571,500 36.55 Vested (214,166 ) 26.86 Forfeited (70,000 ) 29.14 Non-vested awards outstanding at end of year 1,378,834 $ 30.82 The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSU’s awarded during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $36.55, $26.01 and $28.10, per share, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of RSU’s vested during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 was $26.86. No RSU’s vested during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2018 and 2017. Unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSU’s as of January 31, 2019, was $19,283, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	16. Segment Reporting The Company offers lifestyle-oriented general merchandise and consumer products and services through a portfolio of global consumer brands. The Company operates two reportable segments—“Retail” and “Wholesale.” 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 January 31, 2019, there were 245 Urban Outfitters stores, 227 Anthropologie Group stores, 135 Free People stores, 13 restaurants under the Food and Beverage division, four Urban Outfitters franchisee-owned stores 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 91.2%, 91.3% and 91.9% of total consolidated net sales for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The remaining net sales are derived from the Company’s Wholesale segment, which consists of the Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through approximately 2,200 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, home goods, including gifts, tabletop and textiles, under the Anthropologie brand and the BDG apparel collection under the Urban Outfitters brand. The Anthropologie wholesale division was established in fiscal 2018 and the Urban Outfitters wholesale division was established in fiscal 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, and 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. 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 a particular item. In addition, customers can pick up digital orders and return certain merchandise purchased through digital channels at retail 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. The Company manages and analyzes 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 its performance.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2019
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Year-End	Fiscal Year-End The Company operates on a fiscal year ending January 31 of each year. All references to fiscal years of the Company refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, the Company’s fiscal 2019 ended on January 31, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. These short-term highly liquid investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. As of January 31, 2019 and 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.
Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities All of the Company’s marketable securities as of January 31, 2019 and January 31, 2018 are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company records unrealized gains and losses on these securities (other than mutual funds held in the rabbi trust for the Urban Outfitters, Inc. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (See Note 4, “Marketable Securities”)) as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within “Shareholders’ equity” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until realized, except when the Company considers declines in value to be other than temporary. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized losses. Mutual funds held in the rabbi trust have been accounted for under the fair value option, which results in all unrealized gains and losses being recorded in “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. When available-for-sale securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine the realized gain or loss. Securities classified as current assets have maturity dates of less than or equal to one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as non-current assets have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from the Company’s wholesale customers as well as credit card receivables outstanding with third-party credit card vendors. The activity of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was as follows: Balance at beginning of year Additions Deductions Balance at end of year Year ended January 31, 2019 $ 1,326 3,919 (3,746 ) $ 1,499 Year ended January 31, 2018 $ 588 4,435 (3,697 ) $ 1,326 Year ended January 31, 2017 $ 664 4,892 (4,968 ) $ 588
Inventory	Inventory Inventory, which consists primarily of general consumer merchandise held for sale, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of merchandise and import-related costs, including freight, import duties and taxes and agent commissions. A periodic review of inventory is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Factors the Company considers in its review, such as future expected consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale discounts and class or type of inventory, are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable value. Criteria that the Company considers in its review of aging trends include average selling cycle and seasonality of merchandise, the historical rate at which
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and primarily consist of store leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, buildings and other operating equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements, five years for furniture and fixtures, 39 years for buildings and three to ten years for other operating equipment. Major renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of our assets are capitalized over the lesser of the extension period, life of the improvement, or the remaining term of the lease.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets annually and periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include plans to close a retail location, distribution or fulfillment center or a significant decrease in the operating results of a long-lived asset. 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. When events indicate that an asset may be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, the impaired asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recorded. 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. During fiscal 2019, we recorded impairment charges for four
Deferred Rent	Deferred Rent Rent expense from leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The net excess of rent expense over the actual cash paid is recorded as deferred rent. In addition, certain store leases provide for contingent rentals when sales exceed specified breakpoint levels that are weighted based upon historical cyclicality. For leases where achievement of these levels is considered probable based on cumulative lease year revenue versus the established breakpoint at any given point in time, the Company accrues a contingent rent liability and a corresponding rent expense.
Operating Leases	Operating Leases The Company leases its retail stores under operating leases. Many of the lease agreements contain rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions or some combination of these items. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period commencing on the date that the premises are available from the landlord. The lease period includes the construction period required to make the leased space suitable for operating during which time the Company is not permitted to occupy the space. For purposes of calculating straight-line rent expense, the commencement date of the lease term reflects the date the Company takes possession of the building for initial construction and setup. The Company receives certain lease incentives and tenant improvement allowances in conjunction with entering into operating leases. Tenant improvement allowances are recorded as deferred rent on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the related lease on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Revenue Recognition	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 and that represent 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 which we refer to as “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. Customer Loyalty Programs: The Company maintains a customer loyalty program under the Urban Outfitters brand. Under this program, customers can earn and accumulate points that convert to a reward coupon upon reaching the specified point threshold. Reward coupons expire 60 days after issuance. Outstanding reward coupons and points earned through sale activity represent a performance obligation. Revenue is deferred in an amount equal to the standalone selling price, taking into account expected future redemptions, and recognized at the earlier of redemption or expiration. Judgment is used in determining the expected future redemption rates. The redemption and expiration of reward coupons are included in net sales. There are no material accounting policies related to the AnthroPerks customer loyalty program outside of the Company’s general revenue recognition practices.
Sales Return Reserve	Sales Return Reserve The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns where the sale has occurred during the period reported, but the return is likely to occur subsequent to the period reported. The reserve for estimated product returns is based on the Company’s most recent historical return trends. If the actual
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes the following: the cost of merchandise; merchandise markdowns; obsolescence and shrink provisions; store occupancy costs, including rent and depreciation; delivery expense; inbound and outbound freight; customs related taxes and duties; inventory acquisition and purchasing costs; design costs; warehousing and handling costs; and other inventory acquisition related costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses	Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses such as direct selling and selling supervisory expenses; marketing expenses; various corporate expenses such as information systems, finance, loss prevention, talent acquisition, home office and executive management expenses; share-based compensation expense; and other associated general expenses.
Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs	Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs The Company includes shipping and handling revenues in net sales and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales. The Company’s shipping and handling revenues consist of amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling merchandise. Shipping and handling costs include shipping supplies, related labor costs and third-party shipping costs.
Advertising	Advertising The Company expenses the costs of advertising when the advertising occurs, except for certain digital channel advertising, which is capitalized and expensed when the catalog is mailed or the content is published on the Company’s websites and mobile applications. Advertising costs primarily relate to Retail segment marketing expenses which are comprised of web marketing, catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs related to production of photographic images used in the Company’s catalogs, websites, mobile applications and social media campaigns. If there is no expected future benefit, the cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising costs reported as prepaid expenses were $2,466 and $2,491 as of January 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Store Opening Costs	Store Opening Costs The Company expenses all store opening and organization costs as incurred, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs, and all such costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Website Development Costs	Website Development Costs The Company capitalizes applicable costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage and expenses costs incurred during the planning and operating stage. During fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, capitalized costs related to internally generated internal-use software were not material.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company utilizes a balance sheet approach to provide for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for in the period earned. The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return (see Note 9, “Income Taxes,” for a further discussion of income taxes). The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Net Income Per Common Share	Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents include the effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”), restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance stock units (“PSU’s”).
Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income is comprised of two subsets—net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss relate to foreign currency
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, equity accounts at historical exchange rates, while income statement accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income, but are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within “Shareholders’ equity.” Remeasurement gains and losses included in operating results for fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017 were not material.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company manages the credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities by investing in high-quality securities held with reputable trustees and, by policy, limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer or issue, as well as providing limitations on investment maturities. The Company’s investment policy requires that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in corporate and municipal bonds rated “BBB” or better, commercial paper and federally insured or guaranteed investment vehicles such as certificates of deposit, United States treasury bills and federal government agencies. Receivables from third-party credit cards are processed by financial institutions, which are monitored for financial stability. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its Wholesale segment customers. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects current market conditions and management’s assessment regarding the collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of such limits. Management believes that it is not exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts.
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business activities. The Company records a reserve for estimated losses when information available
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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. The update requires the recognition of tax expense when an intra-entity asset transfer occurs as opposed to being deferred under the existing guidance. The Company adopted the new guidance on February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The net cumulative effect of this change was $4,496 and was recognized as a decrease to retained earnings 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. The Company adopted this update on February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and applied the new guidance to all contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date. Adoption resulted in a change in the timing 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 effect 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. 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 effects this update may 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 became effective for the Company on February 1, 2019. The update allows for a modified retrospective transition approach applied either as of the earliest period presented in the financial statements or as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company decided to adopt this update using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the period of adoption. The update includes a number of practical expedients, of which the Company decided to elect the “package of three” and will not reassess expired or existing leases as of the effective date. The Company also decided to elect the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. Adoption on February 1, 2019 will result in the recognition of approximately $1.3 billion of lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments using discount rates as of the effective date. Corresponding right-of-use assets of approximately $1.2 billion will be recognized, with the offsetting balance representing a reduction in the previously recognized deferred rent balance. Adoption will not result in a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
