Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | 17. 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 “Nuuly.” The Company’s Retail segment consists of the Anthropologie, Free People, FP Movement, Terrain, Urban Outfitters and Menus & Venues brands. The Anthropologie and Terrain brands make up the Anthropologie Group. The Free People and FP Movement brands make up the Free People Group. As of January 31, 2023, there were 263 Urban Outfitters stores, 238 Anthropologie Group stores, 188 Free People Group stores (including 31 FP Movement stores), 11 Menus & Venues locations, 6 Urban Outfitters franchisee-owned stores and 2 Anthropologie franchisee-owned stores. Each of Urban Outfitters, the Anthropologie Group and the Free People Group, including their Company-owned and franchisee-owned store and digital channels, and Menus & Venues locations, are considered an operating segment. Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for approximately 92.1%, 93.4% and 93.6% of total consolidated net sales for fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 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 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. The Company manages and analyzes its performance based on a single Retail segment omni-channel rather than separate channels and believes that the Retail segment omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of our performance. 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 Wholesale segment primarily designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel, intimates, FP Movement activewear and shoes under the Free People Group and the BDG and other own brand apparel collections under the Urban Outfitters brand. The Anthropologie brand exited the wholesale business in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Our Wholesale segment net sales accounted for approximately 5.2%, 5.5% and 5.7% of total consolidated net sales for fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Nuuly segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which offers customers with a more sustainable way to explore fashion. Nuuly Rent is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service. For a monthly fee, Nuuly subscribers can select rental product from a wide selection of the Company’s own brands, third-party market brands 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. Nuuly Thrift, which launched in October 2021, is a peer-to-peer resale marketplace where customers can buy and sell any brand of women’s, men’s, and kids’ apparel, shoes, and accessories. Sellers on Nuuly Thrift can transfer their earnings to their bank account or convert them to “Nuuly Cash,” a gift card with a bonus, to be used at any of the Company’s brands. Nuuly Thrift earns a commission based on sales made in the marketplace. Nuuly segment net sales accounted for approximately 2.7%, 1.1%, and less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 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. 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 Nuuly segment are rental product 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 accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the policies described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” All of the Company’s segments are highly diversified. No one customer constitutes more than 10% of the Company’s total consolidated net sales. A summary of the information about the Company’s operations by segment is as follows:
