URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with Urban Outfitters, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2022.
The Company’s business experiences seasonal fluctuations in net sales and net income, with a more significant portion typically realized in the second half of each year predominantly due to the year-end holiday period. Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, this seasonality also impacts our working capital requirements, particularly with regard to inventory. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. All references in these notes to the Company’s fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, the Company’s fiscal year 2023 will end on January 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has considered all new accounting standards updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and has concluded that there are no recent accounting standard updates that will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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 beginning 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 macro-economic 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. The Company made a strategic decision to start bringing certain product categories in earlier in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2022 in an attempt to minimize the impact of such disruptions on the ability to fulfill customer demand.
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 during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and related government and private sector responsive actions could continue to affect its business operations. The Company continues to experience COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions resulting in inventory receipt delays. Furthermore, the Company expects that our operations will continue to be influenced by general economic conditions resulting from COVID-19, such as labor shortages and the impact of inflation, including higher wages, increased merchandise costs and higher inbound transportation costs. In response, the Company is continuing to bring in certain merchandise earlier and diversify our supply chain. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or its effects on the
6
global economy, which have had and may continue to have a material impact on its business. As a result, current financial information may not be necessarily indicative of future operating results and the Company’s plans to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may change. Additionally, ongoing global issues may affect our business and the global economy, including the geopolitical impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and any related economic or other sanctions.
3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Contract receivables occur when the Company satisfies all of its performance obligations under a contract and recognizes revenue prior to billing or receiving consideration from a customer for which it has an unconditional right to payment. Contract receivables arise from credit card, debit card and alternative payment method transactions throughout all segments and sales to the Company’s Wholesale segment customers and franchisees. For the three month period ended April 30, 2022, the opening and closing balances of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $
Contract liabilities represent unearned revenue and result from the Company receiving consideration in a contract with a customer for which it has not satisfied all of its performance obligations. The Company’s contract liabilities result from customer deposits, customer loyalty programs and the issuance of gift cards. Gift cards are expected to be redeemed within

5. Fair Value
The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach that relate to its financial assets and financial liabilities). The levels of the hierarchy are described as follows:
|
|
• |
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
• |
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
• |
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions. |
9
Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Financial assets
Level 1 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on inputs that use, as their basis, readily observable market data that are actively quoted and are validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services and brokers.
Level 2 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 assets consist of financial instruments where there has been no active market. The Company held no Level 3 financial instruments as of April 30, 2022, January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021.
10
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents (Level 1) approximates carrying value since cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. As of April 30, 2022, January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand, cash in banks, money market accounts and marketable securities with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase.
Non-financial assets
The Company’s non-financial assets, primarily consisting of property and equipment and lease-related right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The fair value of property and equipment was determined using a discounted cash-flow model that utilized Level 3 inputs. The Company’s retail locations are reviewed for impairment at the retail location level, which is the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. In calculating future cash flows, the Company makes estimates regarding future operating results based on its experience and knowledge of market factors in which the retail location is located. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as property and equipment.

Corporate expenses include expenses incurred and directed by the corporate office that are not allocated to segments.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Certain matters contained in this filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may contain forward-looking statements and are being made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “project,” “believe,” “plan,” “will,” “anticipate,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Any one, or all, of the following factors could cause actual financial results to differ materially from those financial results mentioned in the forward-looking statements: the impacts of public health crises such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, overall economic and market conditions (including current levels of inflation) and worldwide political events and the resultant impact on consumer spending patterns and our pricing power, the difficulty in predicting and responding to shifts in fashion trends, changes in the level of competitive pricing and promotional activity and other industry factors, the effects of the implementation of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from membership in the European Union (commonly referred to as “Brexit”), including currency fluctuations, economic conditions and legal or regulatory changes, any effects of war (including geopolitical instability), terrorism and civil unrest, natural disasters, severe or unseasonable weather conditions (including as a result of climate change) or public health crises, increases in labor costs, raw material costs and transportation costs, availability of suitable retail space for expansion, timing of store openings, risks associated with international expansion, seasonal fluctuations in gross sales, response to new concepts, our ability to integrate acquisitions, risks associated with digital sales, our ability to maintain and expand our digital sales channels, any material disruptions or security breaches with respect to our technology systems, the departure of one or more key senior executives, import risks (including any shortage of transportation capacities or delays at ports), changes to U.S. and foreign trade policies (including the enactment of tariffs, border adjustment taxes or increases in duties or quotas), the closing or disruption of, or any damage to, any of our distribution centers, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, failure of our manufacturers and third-party vendors to comply with our social compliance program, risks related to environmental, social and governance activities, changes in our effective income tax rate, changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, regulatory changes and legal matters and other risks identified in our filings with the SEC, including those set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, filed on April 1, 2022. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that actual results may differ materially from any projected results expressed or implied therein.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Urban Outfitters, Inc., together with its subsidiaries.
Overview
We operate under three reportable segments – Retail, Wholesale and Nuuly. Our Retail segment consists of our Anthropologie, Bhldn, Free People, FP Movement, Terrain, Urban Outfitters and Menus & Venues brands. Our Retail segment consumer products and services are sold directly to our customers through our retail locations, websites, mobile applications, social media and third-party digital platforms, catalogs and customer contact centers and franchisee-owned stores. The Wholesale segment consists of our Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through department and specialty stores worldwide, digital businesses and our Retail segment. The Wholesale segment primarily designs, develops and markets apparel, intimates and activewear. Our Nuuly segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which offers customers a more sustainable way to explore fashion. Nuuly Rent is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service. Nuuly Thrift, which launched in October 2021, is a peer-to-peer resale marketplace where users can buy and sell women’s, men’s and kids’ clothes, shoes and accessories.
Our fiscal year ends on January 31. All references to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, our fiscal year 2023 will end on January 31, 2023, and our fiscal year 2022 ended on January 31, 2022.

Current Trends
Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Fiscal 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic continued to negatively impact the Company’s store operations during the beginning 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 macro-economic 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. The Company made a strategic decision to start bringing certain product categories in earlier in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2022 in an attempt to minimize the impact of such disruptions on the ability to fulfill customer demand.
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 during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and related government and private sector responsive actions could continue to affect its business operations. The Company continues to experience COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions resulting in inventory receipt delays. Furthermore, the Company expects that our operations will continue to be influenced by general economic conditions resulting from COVID-19, such as labor shortages and the impact of inflation, including higher wages, increased merchandise costs and higher inbound transportation costs. In response, the Company is continuing to bring in certain merchandise earlier and diversify our supply chain. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or its effects on the global economy, which have had and may continue to have a material impact on its business. As a result, current financial information may not be necessarily indicative of future operating results and the Company’s plans to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may change. Additionally, ongoing global issues may affect our business and the global economy, including the geopolitical impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and any related economic or other sanctions.
Retail Segment
Our Retail segment omni-channel strategy enhances our 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. Our 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. We manage and analyze our performance based on a single Retail segment omni-channel rather than separate channels and believe that the Retail segment omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of our performance.
Our comparable Retail segment net sales data is equal to the sum of our comparable store and comparable digital channel net sales. A store is considered to be comparable if it has been open at least 12 full months, unless it was materially expanded or remodeled within that year or was not otherwise operating at its full capacity within that year due to store specific closures from events such as damage from fire, flood and natural weather events. The Company did not remove stores that were closed or operating for an extended period of time at a reduced capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic from the comparable stores net sales calculations. A digital channel is considered to be comparable if it has been operational for at least 12 full months. Sales from stores and digital channels that do not fall within the definition of comparable store or channel are considered to be non-comparable. Franchise net sales and the effects of foreign currency translation are also considered non-comparable.
We monitor Retail segment metrics including customer traffic, conversion rates, average units per transaction at our stores and on our websites and mobile applications and average unit selling price at our stores and average order value on our websites and mobile applications. We believe that changes in any of these metrics may be caused by a response to our brands’ fashion offerings, our marketing campaigns, circulation of our catalogs and an overall growth in brand recognition.

Wholesale Segment
Our Wholesale segment consists of the Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through department and specialty stores worldwide, third-party digital businesses and our 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 brand and the BDG and “iets frans” brand apparel collections under the Urban Outfitters brand. Our Wholesale segment net sales accounted for approximately 6.2% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2022, compared to 6.7% for the comparable period in fiscal 2022.
Nuuly Segment
Our Nuuly segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which includes Nuuly Rent and Nuuly Thrift. 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 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 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. The Company earns a commission based on sales made in the marketplace. Our Nuuly segment net sales accounted for approximately 2.2% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2022, compared to less than 1.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses during the reporting period.
Our senior management has reviewed the critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would cause our actual results to be materially different from our
22
estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2022.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $1.05 billion, compared to $927.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The $124.5 million increase was attributable to a $106.0 million, or 12.4%, increase in Retail segment net sales, a $3.5 million, or 5.7%, increase in Wholesale segment net sales and an increase in Nuuly segment net sales of $15.0 million. Retail segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 accounted for 91.6% of total net sales compared to 92.5% of total net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was due to an increase of $91.1 million, or 10.9%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, and an increase of $14.9 million in non-comparable net sales, including the net impact of store openings and closings since the prior comparable period and the impact of foreign currency translation. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 18.5% at the Anthropologie Group, 14.8% at the Free People Group, and 1.0% at Urban Outfitters. Retail segment comparable net sales increased in both North America and Europe. The relative proportion of Retail segment sales attributable to store and digital channels changed significantly due in large part to the temporary store closures and occupancy restrictions in the United States, Europe and Canada in the prior year quarter resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. With those restrictions lifted in the current year quarter, Retail segment comparable sales increased due to double-digit growth in retail store sales due to higher traffic and transactions as well as an increase in average unit selling price, partially offset by a decrease in units per transaction and a decrease in conversion rate. Higher retail store sales were partially offset by mid single-digit negative digital channel sales due to decreases in sessions, units per transaction and conversion rate, which were only partially offset by an increase in average order value. The increase in non-comparable net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to net new store openings and a recovery from the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, which resulted in reduced store traffic and lower store productivity in the 61 new Company-owned stores and restaurants opened and 21 Company-owned stores and restaurants closed since the prior comparable period.
The increase in Wholesale segment net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, was primarily due to a $4.8 million, or 8.5%, increase in sales for the Free People Group, which was primarily driven by an increase in sales to department stores and specialty customers.
23
Gross profit percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased to 30.7% of net sales, from 32.4% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross profit increased to $323.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 from $300.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in gross profit rate was primarily due to lower initial merchandise markups driven largely by higher inbound transportation expenses and raw materials costs.
Total inventory at April 30, 2022, as compared to April 30, 2021, increased by $152.2 million, or 31.9%, to $630.0 million. Retail segment comparable inventory at cost increased by 35.3% as compared to April 30, 2021. The increase in inventory was driven by three factors: (1) increased product costs driven by higher inbound transportation expenses and raw materials costs; (2) ongoing global supply chain constraints, leading us to extend our lead times and hold more inventory; and (3) lower than expected Urban Outfitters brand sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, resulting in increased inventory levels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $49.9 million, or 22.0%, to $277.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to 26.3% of net sales, compared to 24.5% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in rate as a percentage of net sales and increase in selling, general and administrative dollars was primarily related to increased store payroll expenses incurred to support a higher penetration of retail store sales to total net sales.
Income from operations was 4.4% of net sales, or $46.2 million, for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 7.9% of net sales, or $73.5 million, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in dollars was primarily due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to support the increase in retail store sales. The decrease in rate was primarily due to the lower gross profit rate and deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses in the quarter.
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was 28.7% compared to 27.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The change in effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2022, was primarily driven by the ratio of foreign taxable earnings to global taxable earnings.

The decrease in working capital as of April 30, 2022, as compared to April 30, 2021, was primarily due to the net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities, partially offset by increased inventory levels in the current quarter.
During the last two years, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operating activities, and in the first three months of fiscal 2023, additionally through the sale and maturities of
24
marketable securities. Our primary uses of cash have been to fund business operations, purchase inventory, expand our fulfillment centers, open new stores and repurchase our common shares.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our major source of cash from operations was merchandise sales and our primary outflow of cash from operations was for the payment of operational costs. Cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2022 was driven by a higher payment of accrued incentive-based compensation in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the prior year quarter due to the financial results in the respective preceding fiscal years and the timing of accounts receivable.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily related to sales and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by the purchases of property and equipment and marketable securities. Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily related to purchases of marketable securities and property and equipment, partially offset by the sales and maturities of marketable securities. Cash paid for property and equipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was $73.7 million and $42.6 million, respectively, which was primarily used to expand our fulfillment center network in both periods.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily related to repurchases of our common shares under our share repurchase programs and from employees to meet payroll withholding requirements on vested awards. Cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily related to share repurchases of our common shares from employees to meet payroll withholding requirements on vested awards.
Credit Facilities
See Note 6, “Debt,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Company’s debt.
Capital and Operating Expenditures
During fiscal 2023, we plan to complete construction on a new omni-channel fulfillment center in Kansas City, Kansas (which we expect to be fully operational in fiscal 2024), open approximately 38 new Company-owned retail locations, expand or relocate certain existing retail locations, invest in new products, markets and brands, purchase inventory for our operating segments at levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales, upgrade our systems, improve and expand our digital capabilities and invest in omni-channel marketing when appropriate. We may also repurchase common shares. We believe that our new brand initiatives, new store openings, merchandise expansion programs, international growth opportunities and our marketing, social media, website and mobile initiatives are significant contributors to our sales. During fiscal 2023, we plan to continue our investment in these initiatives for all brands. We anticipate our capital expenditures during fiscal 2023 to be approximately $225 million, a portion of which will be to support new and expanded fulfillment and distribution centers. All fiscal 2023 capital expenditures are expected to be financed by cash flow from operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents and sales and maturities of marketable securities. We believe that our new store investments generally have the potential to generate positive cash flow within a year; however, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in a slightly longer timeframe. We may also enter into one or more acquisitions or transactions related to the expansion of our brand offerings, including additional franchise and joint venture agreements. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our current credit facilities and future cash flows provided by operations will be sufficient to fund these initiatives.

There have been no material changes to our quantitative or qualitative disclosures found in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022.
|
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended April 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
