Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Interim Financial Statements | 1. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (the “Company," “we,” and “our,”) a Delaware corporation, at May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023 and for the 13 week periods ended May 4, 2024 and April 29, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report. Therefore, these Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and those described in the notes that follow) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The existence of subsequent events has been evaluated through the filing date of this Quarterly Report. The Company operates under the American Eagle® ("AE") and Aerie® brands. We also operate Todd Snyder New York ("Todd Snyder"), 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 1,500 retail stores in the U.S. and internationally, online through our digital channels at www.ae.com and www.aerie.com, www.toddsnyder.com, www.unsubscribed.com and through more than 300 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. We sell directly to consumers through our retail channel, which includes our stores and concession-based shop-within-shops. We operate stores in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Hong Kong. We also have license agreements with third parties to operate American Eagle and Aerie stores throughout Asia, Europe, India, Latin America, and the Middle East. The Company's online business, AEO Direct, ships to approximately 80 countries worldwide. As e-commerce penetration and growth has normalized coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain landscape has continued to evolve. In Fiscal 2023, as part of its profit improvement initiative, the Company began to streamline and shift the operations of Quiet Platforms to better align with AEO's long term strategy. As a result of these changes, Quiet Platforms has refined its focus on its core capabilities as a regionalized fulfillment center network. The network and related growth plans have been updated to reflect this refined focus. Historically, our operations have been seasonal, with a large portion of total net revenue and operating income occurring in the third and fourth fiscal quarters, reflecting increased demand during the back-to-school and year-end holiday selling seasons, respectively. Our quarterly results of operations also may fluctuate based upon such factors as the timing of certain holiday seasons, the number and timing of new store openings, the acceptability of seasonal merchandise offerings, the timing and level of markdowns, store closings and remodels, competitive factors, weather and general economic and political conditions.
