For the year ended January 31, 2025, net income was a record $402.5 million and earnings per diluted share were $4.26.

For the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, adjusted net income was $98.1 million and $65.8 million, respectively, and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.04 and $0.69, respectively. For the years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, adjusted net income was $383.9 million and $304.6 million, respectively, and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $4.06 and $3.23, respectively.

See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release.

Total Company net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2025, increased 10.1% to a record $1.64 billion. Total Company net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2025, increased 9.4% compared to total Company adjusted net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Total Retail segment net sales increased 6.3%, with comparable Retail segment net sales increasing 5.1%. The increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by high single-digit positive growth in digital channel sales and low single-digit positive growth in retail store sales. Comparable Retail segment net sales increased 8.3% at Anthropologie and 8.0% at Free People and decreased 3.5% at Urban Outfitters. Subscription segment net sales increased by 78.4%. Subscription segment net sales increased by 55.6% compared to Subscription segment adjusted net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The Subscription segment adjusted net sales increase was primarily driven by a 53.5% increase in average active subscribers in the current quarter versus the prior year quarter. Wholesale segment net sales increased 26.2% driven by a 27.0% increase in Free People wholesale sales due to an increase in sales to specialty customers and department stores.

For the year ended January 31, 2025, total Company net sales increased 7.7% to a record $5.55 billion. Total Company net sales for the year ended January 31, 2025, increased 7.6% compared to total Company adjusted net sales for the year ended January 31, 2024. Total Retail segment net sales increased 4.7%, with comparable Retail segment net sales increasing 3.4%. The increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by mid single-digit positive growth in digital channel sales and low single-digit positive growth in retail store sales. Comparable Retail segment net sales increased 8.9% at Free People and 7.7% at Anthropologie and decreased 8.7% at Urban Outfitters. Subscription segment net sales increased by 60.4%. Subscription segment net sales increased by 56.8% compared to Subscription segment adjusted net sales for the year ended January 31, 2024. The Subscription segment adjusted net sales increase was primarily driven by a 51.3% increase in average active subscribers in the current year versus the prior year period. Wholesale segment net sales increased 15.5% driven by a 17.9% increase in Free People wholesale sales due to an increase in sales to specialty customers and department stores, partially offset by a decrease in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales.

“We are pleased to announce record Q4 revenues and full-year profits,” said Richard A. Hayne, Chief Executive Officer. “Our success was driven by strength across all three segments – Retail, Subscription and Wholesale. We believe these results demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and give us confidence in URBN's continued success,” finished Mr. Hayne.

For the year ended January 31, 2025, the gross profit rate increased by 142 basis points compared to the year ended January 31, 2024, and gross profit dollars increased 12.3% to $1.93 billion from $1.72 billion.

Adjusted gross profit dollars increased by 11.5% to $1.93 billion from $1.73 billion. The increase in adjusted gross profit rate for the year ended January 31, 2025, was primarily due to higher initial merchandise markups for all segments primarily driven by Company cross-functional initiatives.

For the year ended January 31, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $113.7 million, or 8.5%, compared to the year ended January 31, 2024.

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to evaluating the financial condition and results of our operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), from time to time our management evaluates and analyzes results and any impact on the Company of certain events outside of normal, or “core,” business and operations, by considering adjusted financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Examples of items that we consider non-core include store impairment and lease abandonment charges, a release of income tax reserves, an asset impairment charge and a change in revenue recognition method for Nuuly. In order to improve the transparency of our disclosures, provide a meaningful presentation of results from our core business operations and improve period-over-period comparability, we have included certain adjusted financial measures for fiscal 2025 and 2024 that exclude the impact of these non-core business items.

We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring results of operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our underlying results of operations and provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying business. Management uses adjusted financial measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of the items that may be excluded or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant items that could impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows and should therefore be considered in assessing the Company’s actual and future financial condition and performance. These adjusted financial measures are not consistent with GAAP and may not be calculated the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(a) During the three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company changed the revenue recognition method for Nuuly from recognizing the monthly subscription fee revenue in the period the customer is billed to recognizing over the monthly period over which the customer’s subscription fee pertains. The Company also changed the period over which it amortizes rental product to align with the change in revenue recognition method. The impact for the three months ended January 31, 2024, was a reduction in “Net sales” of $9,229 and a reduction in “Cost of sales” of $2,009, resulting in a net reduction of $7,220 in “Gross profit.” The impact for the year ended January 31, 2024 was a reduction in "Net sales" of $5,456 and a reduction in "Cost of sales" of $1,188, resulting in a net reduction of $4,268 in "Gross profit."
