Business Operations | 1. Business Operations American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” and “our”), a Delaware corporation, operates under the American Eagle® (“AE”) and Aerie® brands. We also operate Todd Snyder New York, a premium menswear brand, and Unsubscribed, which focuses on consciously-made slow fashion. Founded in 1977, the Company is a leading multi-brand specialty retailer that operates more than 1,100 retail stores in the United States and internationally, online through our digital channels at www.ae.com and www.aerie.com, www.toddsnyder.com, www.unsubscribed.com and more than 200 international store locations managed by third-party operators. Through its portfolio of brands, the Company offers high quality, on-trend clothing, accessories, and personal care products at affordable prices. The Company’s online business, AEO Direct, ships to approximately 80 countries worldwide. AEO Direct reinforces each particular brand platform and is designed to complement the in-store experience. We offer the ability for customers to return products seamlessly via any channel regardless of where products were originally purchased. We also offer a variety of channels to fulfill customer orders. These include “ship to home,” - which can be fulfilled either through our distribution centers or our store sites (buy online, ship from stores) when purchased online or through our app; “store pick-up,” - which consists of online orders being fulfilled either in store or curbside, and we offer “store-to-door” capability where customers order within our store, and the goods are shipped directly to their home. In Fiscal 2021, we acquired AirTerra, Inc. ("AirTerra") and Quiet Logistics, Inc. ("Quiet Logistics"), creating a new supply chain platform ("Quiet Platforms”). Quiet Logistics is a leading logistics company that operates a network of in-market fulfillment centers, locating products closer to need, creating inventory efficiencies, cost benefits and affordable same-day and next-day delivery options for customers and stores. AirTerra is a logistics service and platform that solves e-commerce fulfillment and shipping challenges in a unique and innovative way for retailers and brands of all sizes. Both acquisitions represent an important step in building our supply chain platform, as part of our ongoing supply chain transformation strategy of leveraging scale and innovation to help us mange costs and improve service.
