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, 2021, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2021.

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, 2021 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 2022 will end on January 31, 2022.

Historically and for the six months ended July 31, 2021, the Company has calculated its provision for income taxes during its interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year "ordinary" income or loss for the respective reporting period. For the six months ended July 31, 2020, however, the Company computed its provision for income taxes under the discrete method which allowed the Company to calculate its tax provision based upon the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date. The discrete method was determined to be an appropriate method for estimating the tax provision for the six months ended July 31, 2020 as it provided a reliable estimate as opposed to changes in estimated "ordinary" income or loss which would have resulted in significant fluctuations when estimating the annual effective tax rate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has considered all new accounting standards updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and has concluded that there are no recent accounting standard updates that will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic

Impact on Fiscal 2021

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. On March 14, 2020, the Company announced that it temporarily closed all stores, offices and showrooms globally. The Company’s distribution and fulfillment centers remained open to support the digital business and the Wholesale segment operations but did so with additional safety procedures and enhanced cleaning measures in place to protect the health of employees. All other corporate and showroom employees worked remotely.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took many measures to protect its financial position and increase financial flexibility. For details of all such material measures taken during fiscal 2021, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2021. See Note 6, “Debt,” for discussion of the Company’s borrowings and subsequent repayments under its Amended Credit Facility during fiscal 2021.

7

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during fiscal 2021, the Company recorded certain additional reserves, including inventory obsolescence reserves and an allowance for doubtful accounts for Wholesale segment customer accounts receivables, and non-cash charges, primarily store impairment charges. For further discussion of such reserves and non-cash charges for the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the full year impact on fiscal 2021, see the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on September 9, 2020, and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021.

Beginning April 25, 2020, the Company reopened stores in select states and countries in accordance with local government guidelines. As of July 31, 2020, substantially all of the Company’s stores had reopened. Where opening was permitted, the Company followed newly established health protocols, provided personal protective equipment to its employees, and implemented social distancing working practices. Additionally, the Company implemented occupancy limits, reduced operating hours, and instituted new cleaning regimens. As a result, the Company incurred incremental costs for personal protective equipment and additional payroll and other costs associated with implementing these health protocols in its stores, distribution and fulfillment centers, and corporate offices. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, certain store operations were again impacted by an additional round of temporary store closures and occupancy restrictions, primarily in Europe and Canada.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain governments implemented programs (some of which expired in fiscal 2021) to encourage companies to retain and pay employees that were unable to work or were limited in the work they could perform in light of closures or a significant decline in sales. The Company qualified for certain of these programs during the second quarter and remainder of fiscal 2021 and recorded the benefit as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses or to store occupancy expenses in cost of sales based on the nature of the related expenses offset by such programs.

Impact on Fiscal 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact the Company’s store operations during the first half of fiscal 2022 due to reduced store traffic as closures and occupancy restrictions continued primarily in Europe and Canada. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, all remaining COVID-19 related store closures in Europe and Canada expired, although some capacity restrictions remain continued in certain European and Canadian stores.

The Company continued to qualify for certain government assistance programs that partially offset related expenses in locations impacted by closures during fiscal 2022, but as of July 31, 2021, the Company no longer qualified for such programs in the United States and Canada. The Company recorded the benefit of the government assistance programs as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses or store occupancy expenses in cost of sales based on the nature of the related expenses offset by such programs.

Impact on Future Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s operations and related government and private sector responsive actions could continue to affect its business operations. Additionally, the Company is experiencing some COVID-19 supply chain disruptions from sourcing and inventory receipt delays, as well as an increase in inbound freight costs. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a material impact on its business. As a result, current financial information may not be necessarily indicative of future operating results and the Company’s plans to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may change.

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 the Company’s Wholesale segment customers and franchisees. For the six month period ended July 31, 2021, the opening and closing balances of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $89,952 and $94,402, respectively. For the six month period ended July 31, 2020, the opening and closing balances of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $88,288 and $60,441, respectively. During the three month period ended July 31, 2020, the Company reduced the allowance for doubtful accounts by $2,200 due to the collection of certain outstanding

8

receivable balances for Wholesale segment customer accounts, resulting in a net increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,600 for the six months ended July 31, 2020. During the remainder of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company continued to reduce the allowance for doubtful accounts due to the collection of certain outstanding accounts receivables. 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 six month period ended July 31, 2021, the opening and closing balances of contract liabilities were $61,986 and $63,375, respectively. For the six month period ended July 31, 2020, the opening and closing balances of contract liabilities were $52,926 and $47,709, respectively. Contract liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses, accrued compensation and other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six month period ended July 31, 2021, the Company recognized $21,325 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. During the six month period ended July 31, 2020, the Company recognized $18,781 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

4. Marketable Securities

During all periods shown, marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains (losses) and fair value of available-for-sale securities by major security type and class of security as of July 31, 2021, January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020 were as follows:

|  | $ | 9,351 |  |  | $ | 366 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 9,717 |

Proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $148,582 and $383,056 for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company initially liquidated its marketable securities portfolio in the six months ended July 31, 2020 primarily to preserve financial flexibility and maintain liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but reinvested in a marketable securities portfolio by January 31, 2021. The Company included in “Other loss, net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, a net realized gain of $4 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, and a net realized gain of $34 and a net realized loss of $420 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, respectfully. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, resulted in a reduction of “Other loss, net” of $1,398 and $2,736 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively, and $208 and $617 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, respectfully. 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 loss, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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.

10

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 |
|  | July 31, 2021 |
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |

|  |  | 9,717 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 9,717 |

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, 2021, January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020.

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, 2021, January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, 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.

11

Non-financial assets

The Company’s non-financial assets, primarily consisting of property and equipment and lease-related right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

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. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as property and equipment. During the three months ended July 31, 2020, impairment charges were zero, however, during the six months ended July 31, 2020, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets at the Company’s retail locations were unable to recover their carrying value primarily due to the impact of the mandated store closures and anticipated reduced store net sales during the remainder of fiscal 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These assets were written down to a fair value resulting in impairment charges of $14,528 across 39 retail locations, with a carrying value after impairment of $96,523 related to the right-of-use assets.

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, 2021, the Company had $0 in borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. The Company borrowed $220,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 in order to preserve financial flexibility and maintain liquidity and flexibility in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company repaid $100,000 during the three months ended July 31, 2020 and repaid the remaining $120,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2020. As of May 31, 2020, the availability under the Amended Credit Agreement had been reduced to a level that triggered measurement of the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant was not met as of May 31, 2021. The Company obtained a waiver effective through September 15, 2020 to cure the technical default. As of July 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all terms, including covenants, of the Amended Credit Agreement. Outstanding stand-by letters of credit, which reduce the funds available under the Amended Credit

Facility, were $13,501. Interest expense for the Amended Credit Facility for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, was $520 and $1,976, respectively, which was included in “Other loss, net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

7. Leases

The Company has operating leases for stores, distribution and fulfillment centers, corporate offices and equipment. The Company subleases certain properties to third parties.

Total operating lease costs were $67,794 and $136,502 during the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively, and $69,183 and $137,193 during the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, respectively.

Short-term lease costs and sublease income were not material during the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020.

The following is a schedule by year of the maturities of operating lease liabilities with original terms in excess of one year, as of July 31, 2021:

|  | Operating |
|  | Leases |
Fiscal Year |  |  |  |
2022 (excluding the six months ended July 31, 2021) |  | $ | 174,494 |
2023 |  |  | 266,195 |

As of July 31, 2021, the Company had commitments of approximately $3,007 not included in the amounts above related to two executed but not yet commenced leases.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and mandated store closures, the Company withheld certain minimum lease payments due to landlords. The amounts withheld at July 31, 2021 and 2020 were included in “Current portion of operating lease liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, the Company received rent concessions for a number of stores and continue to negotiate for additional rent concessions at various other store locations. To the extent the rent concessions do not result in a substantial increase in total payments in the existing lease, the Company has accounted for such rent concessions as negative variable rent. To the extent the rent concessions do result in a substantial increase in total payments in the existing lease, the Company has accounted for such rent concessions as a lease modification. Rent concessions recorded by the Company in fiscal 2022 and 2021 as either negative variable rent or lease modifications have not had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

8. Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains stock incentive plans pursuant to which it can grant restricted shares, unrestricted shares, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU’s”), performance stock units (“PSU’s”) or stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”). A Black-Scholes model was used to estimate the fair value of stock options. The fair value of PSU’s and RSU’s is equal to the stock price on the date of the grant.

The Company temporarily suspended all share repurchase activity under the programs during fiscal 2021.

On August 22, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 20,000,000 common shares under a share repurchase program. On June 4, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 20,000,000 common shares under a share repurchase program. As of July 31, 2021, 25,851,954 common shares were remaining under the programs.

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, the Company acquired and subsequently retired 222,531 common shares at a total cost of $7,562 from employees to meet minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. During the six months ended July 31, 2020, the Company acquired and subsequently retired 155,734 common shares at a total cost of $3,742 from employees to meet minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

11. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | July 31, |  |  | July 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding |  |  | 98,315,441 |  |  |  | 97,778,749 |  |  |  | 98,213,555 |  |  |  | 97,843,796 |
Effect of dilutive options, stock appreciation rights, performance stock units and restricted stock units |  |  | 1,285,851 |  |  |  | 326,169 |  |  |  | 1,249,913 |  |  |  | — |
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding |  |  | 99,601,292 |  |  |  | 98,104,918 |  |  |  | 99,463,468 |  |  |  | 97,843,796 |

For the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, awards to purchase 160,000 common shares ranging in price from $38.09 to $46.42 and 560,000 common shares ranging in price from $18.81 to $46.42, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended July 31, 2021, awards to purchase 180,000 common shares ranging in price from $35.85 to $46.42 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the impact would be anti-dilutive. As a result of the net loss for the six months ended July 31, 2020, all share-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share and therefore there was no difference in the weighted average number of common shares for basic and diluted loss per share as the effect of all potentially dilutive shares outstanding was anti-dilutive.

Excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as of July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020, were 30,001 and 706,794 performance-based equity awards, respectively, because they did not meet the required performance criteria.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising from normal business activities. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 three reportable segments – “Retail,” “Wholesale” and “Subscription.”

The Company’s Retail segment consists of the Anthropologie, Bhldn, Free People, FP Movement, Terrain, Urban Outfitters and Menus & Venues brands. 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’s Retail segment omni-channel strategy enhances its customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. All available Company-owned Retail segment shopping channels are fully integrated, including retail locations, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers.

The Company’s Wholesale segment consists of the Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands. The Wholesale segment sells through department and specialty stores worldwide, digital businesses and the Retail segment.

The Subscription segment consists of the “Nuuly” brand, which is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that launched on July 30, 2019.

The Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on the net sales and pre-tax income from operations (excluding intercompany charges) of the segment. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties making similar volume purchases. Corporate expenses include expenses incurred and directed by the corporate office that are not allocated to segments. The principal identifiable assets for the Retail and Wholesale segments are inventory and property and equipment. The principal identifiable assets for the Subscription segment are rental product and property and equipment.

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, 2021.

Overview

We operate under three reportable segments – Retail, Wholesale and Subscription. Our Retail segment consists of our Anthropologie, Bhldn, Free People, FP Movement, Terrain, Urban Outfitters and Menus & Venues brands. Our Retail segment consumer products and services are sold directly to our customers through our retail locations, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers and franchised or third-party operated stores and digital businesses. The Wholesale segment consists of our Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through department and specialty stores worldwide, digital businesses and our Retail segment. The Wholesale segment primarily designs, develops and markets apparel, intimates and activewear. Our Subscription segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that launched on July 30, 2019.

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. All references to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, our fiscal year 2022 will end on January 31, 2022, our fiscal year 2021 ended on January 31, 2021 and our fiscal year 2020 ended on January 31, 2020.

Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic

Impact on Fiscal 2021

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. On March 14, 2020, the

21

Company announced that it temporarily closed all stores, offices and showrooms globally. The Company’s distribution and fulfillment centers remained open to support the digital business and the Wholesale segment operations but did so with additional safety procedures and enhanced cleaning measures in place to protect the health of employees. All other corporate and showroom employees worked remotely.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took measures to protect its financial position and increase financial flexibility. For details of all such material measures taken during fiscal 2021, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2021. See Note 6, “Debt,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for discussion of the Company’s borrowings and subsequent repayments under its Amended Credit Facility during fiscal 2021.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during fiscal 2021, the Company recorded certain additional reserves, including inventory obsolescence reserves and an allowance for doubtful accounts for Wholesale segment customer accounts receivables, and non-cash charges, primarily store impairment charges. For further discussion of such reserves and non-cash charges for the first six months of fiscal 2021 and the full year impact on fiscal 2021, see the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on September 9, 2020, and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021.

Beginning April 25, 2020, the Company reopened stores in select states and countries in accordance with local government guidelines. As of July 31, 2020, substantially all of the Company’s stores had reopened. Where opening was permitted, we followed newly established health protocols, provided personal protective equipment to our employees, and implemented social distancing working practices. Additionally, we implemented occupancy limits, reduced operating hours, and instituted new cleaning regimens. As a result, the Company incurred incremental costs for personal protective equipment and additional payroll and other costs associated with implementing these health protocols in our stores, distribution and fulfillment centers, and corporate offices. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, certain store operations were again impacted by an additional round of temporary store closures and occupancy restrictions, primarily in Europe and Canada.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain governments implemented programs (some of which expired in fiscal 2021) to encourage companies to retain and pay employees that were unable to work or were limited in the work they could perform in light of closures or a significant decline in sales. The Company qualified for certain of these programs during the second quarter and remainder of fiscal 2021 and recorded the benefit as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses or to store occupancy expenses in cost of sales based on the nature of the related expenses offset by such programs.

Impact on Fiscal 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact the Company’s store operations during the first half of fiscal 2022 due to reduced store traffic as closures and occupancy restrictions continued primarily in Europe and Canada. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, all remaining COVID-19 related store closures in Europe and Canada expired, although some capacity restrictions remain continued in certain European and Canadian stores.

The Company continued to qualify for certain government assistance programs that partially offset related expenses in locations impacted by closures during fiscal 2022, but as of July 31, 2021 the Company no longer qualified for such programs in the United States and Canada. The Company recorded the benefit of the government assistance programs as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses or store occupancy expenses in cost of sales based on the nature of the related expenses offset by such programs.

Impact on Future Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s operations and related government and private sector responsive actions could continue to affect its business operations. Additionally, the Company is experiencing some COVID-19 supply chain disruptions from sourcing and inventory receipt delays, as well as an increase in inbound freight costs. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a material impact on its business. As a result, current financial information may not be necessarily indicative of future operating results and the Company’s plans to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may change.

Retail Segment

Our Retail segment omni-channel strategy enhances our customers’ brand experience by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. All available Company-owned Retail segment shopping channels are fully integrated, including retail locations, 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 Retail segment omni-channel and not the separate store or digital channels. We manage and analyze our performance based on a single Retail segment omni-channel rather than separate channels and believe that the Retail segment omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of our performance.

Our comparable Retail segment net sales data is equal to the sum of our comparable store and comparable digital channel net sales. A store is considered to be comparable if it has been open at least 12 full months, unless it was materially expanded or remodeled within that year or was not otherwise operating at its full capacity within that year due to store specific closures from events such as damage from fire, flood and natural weather events. The Company did not remove stores that were closed or operating for an extended period of time at a reduced capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic from the comparable stores net sales calculations. 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 net sales and the effects of foreign currency translation are also considered non-comparable.

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

Wholesale Segment

Our Wholesale segment consists of the Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through department and specialty stores worldwide, third-party digital businesses and our Retail segment.

The Anthropologie brand exited the wholesale business in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Subscription Segment

Our Subscription segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that launched on July 30, 2019. For a monthly fee, Nuuly subscribers can select rental product from a wide selection of the Company’s own brands, third-party labels and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces via a custom-built, digital platform. Subscribers select their products each month, wear them as often as they like and then swap into new products the following month. Subscribers are also able to purchase the rented product. Our Subscription segment net sales accounted for less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and the comparable period in fiscal 2021.

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, 2021, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2021. 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. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended July 31, 2021.

Results of Operations

As a Percentage of Net Sales

Because of the material impact COVID-19 had on our business operations in fiscal 2021, including mandated store closures, the following financial highlights have been provided as a comparison of fiscal 2022 results to fiscal 2020. Management views the comparison of fiscal 2022 results to fiscal 2020 as a meaningful measurement of the Company’s business performance.

| • | Total net sales increased 20.3% over the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and increased 14.1% over the first half of fiscal 2020, setting records for net sales in dollars for the respective periods. Both increases were driven by an increase in comparable Retail segment net sales, partially offset by a decline in Wholesale segment net sales.

| • | Gross profit rate improved to 37.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 35.3% for the first half of fiscal 2022, compared to 32.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 32.0% for the first half of fiscal 2020. The improvement in both periods was primarily driven by record low merchandise markdowns for the respective periods and improved leverage in store occupancy expense due to the increased penetration of the digital channel in Retail segment net sales, partially offset by an increase in delivery and logistics expenses.

| • | As of July 31, 2021, total inventory increased by $43.1 million, or 9.8%, compared to total inventory as of July 31, 2019.

| • | Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 23.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 23.8% for the first half of fiscal 2022, compared to 24.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 25.5% for the first half of fiscal 2020. The leverage was primarily related to disciplined store payroll management and overall expense control, partially offset by deleverage in digital marketing and creative expenses during the quarter to drive overall customer growth and strong digital sales.

| • | Income from operations expressed as a percentage of net sales improved to 14.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 11.5% for the first half of fiscal 2022, compared to 8.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 6.5% for the first half of fiscal 2020.

The tables below set forth, for the periods indicated, the results of operations and the percentage of our net sales represented by certain statement of operations data. The tables should be read in conjunction with the discussions that follow. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our stores were closed for a portion of the first half of fiscal 2021 (see further details under Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic above). In addition to lost revenues, we incurred expenses that were not commensurate with the current level of sales. As a result, comparisons of expense ratios and year-over-year trends were impacted in a meaningful way.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 were $1,157.7 million, compared to $803.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The $354.4 million increase was attributable to a $331.5 million, or 43.8%, increase in Retail segment net sales, a $17.6 million, or 42.9%, increase in Wholesale segment net sales and an increase in Subscription segment net sales of $5.3 million. Retail segment net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 accounted for 94.1% of total net sales compared to 94.3% of total net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was due to an increase of $301.2 million, or 39.9%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, and an increase of $30.3 million in non-comparable net sales, including the net impact of store openings and closings since the prior comparable period and the impact of foreign currency translation. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 51.3% at the Anthropologie Group, 36.9% at the Free People Group and 29.8% at Urban Outfitters. Retail segment comparable net sales increased in North America, Europe and Asia. The increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by triple-digit growth in retail store sales partially offset by low single-digit negative digital channel sales. Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2020, were significantly impacted by store closures and reduced store traffic in reopened locations and significant growth in our digital channel. As a result, the relative proportion of sales attributable to store and digital channels changed significantly. Positive comparable store net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 resulted from an increase in store traffic, transactions and average unit selling price, while units per transaction declined. The digital channel net sales decline was driven by a decrease in sessions and units per transaction, while average order value increased and conversion rate was flat. The increase in non-comparable net sales was primarily due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, which resulted in store closures and lower store productivity in the 44 new Company-owned stores opened and 15 Company-owned stores and restaurants closed since the prior comparable period. The benefit from foreign currency translation in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 also contributed to the increase in non-comparable net sales.

The increase in Wholesale segment net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021, was primarily due to a $14.4 million, or 36.8%, increase in sales for the Free People Group, due to a significant number of the brand’s wholesale partners having had a meaningful portion of their businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The segment increase was also due to an increase of $4.1 million in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales.

Gross profit percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 increased to 37.6% of net sales, from 29.6% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross profit increased to $435.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 from $238.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in gross profit rate and dollars was due to the significant negative impact of COVID-19 related store closures on the Company’s Retail segment and its partners in the Wholesale segment in the prior year quarter. Additionally, the Company recorded record low second quarter merchandise markdown rates in the Retail segment during the three months ended July 31, 2021, further contributing to the improvement over the prior year quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $100.8 million, or 59.8%, to $269.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 to 23.3% of net sales, compared to 21.0% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to direct selling expenses and digital marketing expenses to support the increase in net sales, higher incentive-based compensation due to the impacts of COVID-19 on the prior year period and the benefits associated with COVID-19 related government relief packages recorded in the prior year period. The deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2021 is primarily due to the benefit of COVID-19 related government relief packages recorded in the prior year quarter.

Income from operations was 14.3% of net sales, or $165.9 million, for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 8.6% of net sales, or $69.4 million, for the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was 22.4% compared to 50.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was due to the partial reversal of the tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 based on the improved company performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2021 were $2.09 billion, compared to $1.39 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2021. The $693.4 million increase was attributable to a $627.8 million, or 47.6%, increase in Retail segment net sales and a $58.8 million, or 94.6%, increase in Wholesale segment net sales and an increase in Subscription segment net sales of $6.8 million. Retail segment net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2021 accounted for 93.4% of total net sales compared to 94.8% of total net sales in the six months ended July 31, 2020.

The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2022 was due to an increase of $579.2 million, or 44.3%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, and an increase of $48.6 million in non-comparable net sales, including the net impact of store openings and closings since the prior comparable period and the impact of foreign currency translation. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 52.3% at Free People Group, 50.5% at the Anthropologie Group and 34.6% at Urban Outfitters. The increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by triple-digit growth in retail store sales and strong double-digit growth in digital channel sales. Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2020, were significantly impacted by store closures and reduced store traffic in reopened locations and significant growth in our digital channel. As a result, the relative proportion of sales attributable to store and digital channels changed significantly. Positive comparable store net sales resulted from an increase in store traffic, transactions and average unit selling price, while units per transaction declined. The digital channel net sales increase was driven by an increase in conversion rate, sessions and average order value, while units per transaction decreased. The increase in non-comparable net sales was primarily due to the store closures and lower store productivity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic at the 48 new Company-owned stores opened and 16 Company-owned stores and restaurants closed since the prior comparable period. The benefit from foreign currency translation in the first half of fiscal 2022 also contributed to the increase in non-comparable net sales.

The increase in Wholesale segment net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2022, as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2021, was primarily due to a $50.7 million, or 85.7%, increase in sales for the Free People Group brand, due to a significant number of the brand’s wholesale partners having had a meaningful portion of their businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during fiscal 2021. The segment increase was also due to an increase of $8.9 million in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales.

Gross profit percentage for the first six months of fiscal 2022 increased to 35.3% of net sales, from 18.0% of net sales in the comparable period in fiscal 2021. Gross profit increased to $735.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022 from $249.9 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2021. The increase in gross profit rate was due to the significant negative impact of COVID-19 related store closures on the Company’s Retail segment and its partners in the Wholesale segment in the prior year period. Additionally, during the prior year period, the Company recorded a $14.5 million store impairment charge and a meaningful increase in inventory obsolescence reserves due

29

to the impact the store closures had on the aging of the Company’s inventory. Finally, all three brands recorded record low first half merchandise markdown rates during the six months ended July 31, 2021, further contributing to the improvement in the current period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $117.4 million, or 31.0%, to $496.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased in the first six months of fiscal 2022 to 23.8% of net sales, compared to 27.3% of net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to direct selling and digital marketing expenses in the current year to support the increase in net sales, higher incentive-based compensation due to the impacts of COVID-19 on the prior year period and the benefit of COVID-19 related government relief packages recorded in the prior year period. The leverage in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2021, was primarily due to the increase in retail store sales, as net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2020 were significantly impacted by store closures and reduced store traffic in reopened locations.

Income from operations was 11.5% of net sales, or $239.4 million, for the first six months of fiscal 2022 compared to a loss from operations of 9.3% of net sales, or $129.3 million, for the first six months of fiscal 2021.

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2022 was an expense of 23.8% compared to a benefit of 19.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

(amounts in millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | July 31, |  |  | January 31, |  |  | July 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities |  | $ | 735.0 |  |  | $ | 694.0 |  |  | $ | 672.6 |
Working capital |  |  | 449.0 |  |  |  | 317.2 |  |  |  | 499.8 |

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | July 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 195.2 |  |  | $ | 115.2 |
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities |  |  | (123.0 | ) |  |  | 218.0 |
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities |  |  | (4.7 | ) |  |  | 109.2 |

The increase in working capital as of July 31, 2021 as compared to January 31, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in inventory to support the increase in net sales and the seasonal nature of the Company’s business. The decrease in working capital as of July 31, 2021 as compared to July 31, 2020 was primarily due to higher accrued incentive based compensation due to stronger results in fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021 and the timing of disbursements.

During the last two years, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operating activities. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed $220.0 million under our Amended Credit Facility to further protect our cash reserves. We subsequently repaid the entire $220.0 million during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2021. Our primary uses of cash have been to fund business operations, purchase inventory, expand our home offices and fulfillment centers and open new stores.

30

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our major source of cash from operations was merchandise sales and our primary outflow of cash from operations was for the payment of operational costs. Store closures and lower store productivity, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in lower cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2021, which was primarily driven by the net loss incurred in the first six months of fiscal 2021. Although the Company’s stores were closed for a part of the first six months of fiscal 2021, the Company continued to incur various store operational costs for a large portion of its store teams.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2022 primarily related to purchases of marketable securities and property and equipment, partially offset by the sales and maturities of marketable securities. Net liquidations of our marketable securities portfolio in the first six months of fiscal 2021 were primarily to preserve financial flexibility and maintain liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but reinvested in a marketable securities portfolio in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Cash paid for property and equipment in the first six months of fiscal 2022 and 2021 was $105.6 million and $72.1 million, respectively, which was primarily used to expand our fulfillment center network in both periods.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2022 primarily related to repurchases of our common shares from employees to meet minimum statutory withholding requirements. Cash provided from financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to borrowings of $220.0 million under our Amended Credit Facility in order to preserve financial flexibility and maintain liquidity and flexibility in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The borrowings were subsequently repaid in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2021. During the first half of fiscal 2021, the Company also repurchased $7.0 million of shares under our share repurchase programs prior to the known spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Credit Facilities

See Note 6, “Debt,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Company’s debt.

Capital and Operating Expenditures

During fiscal 2022, we plan to continue construction on a new omni-channel fulfillment center in Kansas City, Kansas, finalize setup of material handling equipment at our new omni-channel fulfillment center in the United Kingdom, open approximately 54 new Company-owned retail locations, expand or relocate certain existing retail locations, invest in new products, markets and brands, purchase inventory for our operating segments at levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales, upgrade our systems, improve and expand our digital capabilities and invest in omni-channel marketing when appropriate. We may also 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 sales. During fiscal 2022, we plan to continue our investment in these initiatives for all brands. We anticipate our capital expenditures during fiscal 2022 to be approximately $285 million, a portion of which will be to support new and expanded fulfillment and distribution centers. All fiscal 2022 capital expenditures are expected to be financed by cash flow from operating activities and existing cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our new store investments generally have the potential to generate positive cash flow within a year; however, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in a slightly longer timeframe. 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.
