Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic	2. Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Fiscal 2022 The COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact the Company’s store operations during the first half of fiscal 2022 with residual impacts on store traffic and store sales resulting from store closures, primarily in Europe and Canada, occupancy restrictions and reduced store hours globally. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, all remaining COVID-19 government mandated store closures in Europe and Canada expired, although some capacity restrictions continued in certain European and Canadian stores. The COVID-19 pandemic and general unfavorable macroeconomic conditions also disrupted the Company’s global supply chain in fiscal 2022, leading to COVID-19 related factory and port closures, continued port congestion and shipping delays, which resulted in inventory receipt delays and an increase in inbound transportation costs.

Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic and Macroeconomic Uncertainties on Fiscal 2023 and Future Operations The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy continued to impact the Company’s operations through the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and related government and private sector responsive actions could continue to affect its business operations. The Company continues to experience global supply chain disruptions resulting in inventory receipt delays. In response, the Company is continuing to further diversify its supply chain and bring in certain merchandise earlier. Furthermore, the Company expects that its operations will continue to be influenced by recent general economic conditions such as labor shortages and inflation, which have resulted in higher wages, higher inbound transportation and outbound delivery costs, and lower levels of discretionary spending by its customers, particularly customers of the Urban Outfitters brand. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or of existing macroeconomic conditions, which have had and may continue to have a material impact on its business.

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact the Company’s store operations during the first half of fiscal 2022 with residual impacts on store traffic and store sales resulting from store closures, primarily in Europe and Canada, occupancy restrictions and reduced store hours globally. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, all remaining COVID-19 government mandated store closures in Europe and Canada expired, although some capacity restrictions continued in certain European and Canadian stores. The COVID-19 pandemic and general unfavorable macroeconomic conditions also disrupted the Company’s global supply chain in fiscal 2022, leading to COVID-19 related factory and port closures, continued port congestion and shipping delays, which resulted in inventory receipt delays and an increase in inbound transportation costs.

Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic and Macroeconomic Uncertainties on Fiscal 2023 and Future Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy continued to impact the Company’s operations through the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and related government and private sector responsive actions could continue to affect its business operations. The Company continues to experience global supply chain disruptions resulting in inventory receipt delays. In response, the Company is continuing to further diversify its supply chain and bring in certain merchandise earlier. Furthermore, the Company expects that its operations will continue to be influenced by recent general economic conditions such as labor shortages and inflation, which have resulted in higher wages, higher inbound transportation and outbound delivery costs, and lower levels of discretionary spending by its customers, particularly customers of the Urban Outfitters brand. The Company cannot

reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or of existing macroeconomic conditions, which have had and may continue to have a material impact on its business.
