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, 2023, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2023.

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 and six months ended July 31, 2023 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 2024 will end on January 31, 2024.

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. 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 six month period ended July 31, 2023, the opening and closing balances of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $70,339 and $79,118, respectively. For the six month period ended July 31, 2022, the opening and closing balances of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $63,760 and $97,374, respectively. Contract receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 two years of issuance, with the majority of redemptions occurring in the first year. For the six month period ended July 31, 2023, the opening and closing balances of contract liabilities were $82,867 and $73,065, respectively. For the six month period ended July 31, 2022, the opening and closing balances of contract liabilities were $78,717 and $70,369, respectively. Contract liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses, accrued compensation and other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six month period ended July 31, 2023, the Company recognized $27,085 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. During the six month period ended July 31, 2022, the Company recognized $27,009 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

The Company included in “Other income (loss), net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, a net realized loss of $7 and $6 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, respectively, and a net realized loss of $222 and $334 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, was $894 and $1,172 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, respectively, and $1,225 and $2,882 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, is included in “Other income (loss), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Mutual funds represent assets held in an irrevocable rabbi trust for the Company’s Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”). These assets are a source of funds to match the funding obligations to participants in the NQDC but are subject to the Company’s general creditors. The Company elected the fair value option for financial assets for the mutual funds held in the rabbi trust resulting in all unrealized gains and losses being recorded in “Other income (loss), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

4. 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.

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. The Company’s financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the tables below:

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 July 31, 2023, January 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022.

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 July 31, 2023, January 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022, 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. For lease right-of-use assets, the Company determines the estimated fair value of the assets by comparing the discounted contractual rent payments to estimated market rent using an acceptable valuation methodology.

5. Debt

On February 10, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), amending the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility with its lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, joint lead arranger and co-book managers along with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Amended Credit Facility"). The Fourth Amendment permits the Company to purchase an equity membership interest in a federal low-income housing tax credit entity. See Note 6, "Tax Credit Investment," for further discussion of the investment.

The Amended Credit Facility provides for loans and letters of credit up to $350,000, subject to a borrowing base that is comprised of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory and includes a swing-line sub-facility, a multicurrency sub-facility and the option to expand the facility by up to $150,000. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Amended Credit Facility matures in June 2027.

The Amended Credit Facility provides for interest on borrowings, at the Company’s option, at either (i) adjusted SOFR, CDOR, SONIA or EURIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.375%, or (ii) an adjusted ABR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.375%, each such applicable margin depending on the level of availability under the Amended Credit Facility. Depending on the type of borrowing, interest on the Amended Credit Facility is payable monthly, quarterly or at the end of the applicable interest period. A commitment fee of 0.20% is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility.

All obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries. The obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in inventory, accounts receivable and certain other assets of the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries. The obligations of URBN Canada Retail, Inc. are secured by a first-priority security interest in its inventory, accounts receivable and certain other assets. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, negative and affirmative covenants and provisions relating to events of default.

As of July 31, 2023, the Company had $0 in borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. As of July 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement and expects to remain in compliance with all terms, including covenants, of the Amended Credit Agreement. Outstanding stand-by letters of credit, which reduce the funds available under the Amended Credit Facility, were $13,637. Interest expense for the

Amended Credit Facility was $483 and $511 for the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was included in “Other income (loss), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

6. Tax Credit Investment

On February 10, 2023, the Company committed $100,000 to purchase an equity membership interest in a federal low-income housing tax credit entity. An initial payment of $20,000 was paid at closing with the remaining balance payable in quarterly installments over a five-year period beginning in fiscal 2024. The present value of such payments was $62,120 and was recorded as an increase to the initial tax credit investment asset and liability. In exchange for the total payments of $100,000, the Company expects to realize a comparable amount of tax credits and other tax benefits that will reduce its future federal income tax payments. Although the investment vehicle is considered a variable interest entity, the Company is not the primary beneficiary, and therefore, the investment is not consolidated. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient method of amortization, which approximates the proportional amortization method, to amortize the investment to income tax expense in proportion to the tax credits received over an estimated 10-year tax credit period beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, interest expense related to the accretion of the liability was $3,531 and a net benefit of $3,426 was included in “Income tax expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The carrying value of the investment is recorded in "Deferred income taxes and other assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liabilities for the present value of the estimated future capital contributions are recorded in "Accrued expenses, accrued compensation and other current liabilities" and "Deferred rent and other liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the balances related to the investment at July 31, 2023:

	July 31,
	2023
Deferred income taxes and other assets	$	74,167
Accrued expenses, accrued compensation and other current liabilities		5,308
Deferred rent and other liabilities		55,088

7. Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains stock incentive plans pursuant to which it can grant restricted shares, unrestricted shares, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) or stock appreciation rights. The fair value of PSUs and RSUs is equal to the stock price on the date of the grant. Share-based compensation expense included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, was as follows:

10. Net Income per Common Share

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 31,				July 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Basic weighted-average common shares<br> outstanding		92,741,888		93,041,310		92,610,499		94,240,412
Effect of dilutive options, performance stock units<br> and restricted stock units		1,486,297		606,904		1,416,451		737,093
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding		94,228,185		93,648,214		94,026,950		94,977,505

For the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, awards to purchase 40,000 common shares at a price of $46.42 and 205,000 common shares ranging in price from $23.74 to $46.42, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the impact would be anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, awards to purchase 80,000 common shares ranging in price from $28.47 to $46.42 and 202,500 common shares ranging in price from $23.74 to $46.42, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the impact would be anti-dilutive.

Excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as of July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022, were 272,554 and 167,500 performance-based equity awards, respectively, because they did not meet the required performance criteria.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising from normal business activities. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. 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 includes the Anthropologie, Free People, FP Movement, Terrain and Urban Outfitters brands. 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 Wholesale segment includes 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 Nuuly segment includes the Nuuly brand, which offers customers a more sustainable way to explore fashion. Nuuly Rent is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service.

The Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on the net sales and income from operations (excluding intercompany charges) of the segment. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties making similar volume purchases. 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.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the policies described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. 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:

Overview

We operate under three reportable segments – Retail, Wholesale and Nuuly. Our Retail segment includes our Anthropologie, Free People, FP Movement, Terrain and Urban Outfitters 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 includes 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, activewear and shoes. Our Nuuly segment includes the Nuuly brand, which offers customers a more sustainable way to explore fashion. Nuuly Rent is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service.

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 2024 will end on January 31, 2024, and our fiscal year 2023 ended on January 31, 2023.

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. 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 digital 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. We also monitor average unit selling price and transactions 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.

Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 28 through a unique merchandise mix, compelling store environment, social media and third-party digital platforms, websites and mobile applications and a product offering that includes women’s and men’s fashion apparel, activewear, intimates, footwear, accessories, home goods, electronics and beauty.

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 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, 2023, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 3, 2023. 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 estimates. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended July 31, 2023.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were $1.27 billion, compared to $1.18 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The $88.8 million increase was attributable to a $64.9 million, or 5.9%, increase in Retail segment net sales and an increase in Nuuly segment net sales of $27.0 million, or 93.9%, partially offset by a $3.1 million, or 5.2%, decrease in Wholesale segment net sales.

The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was due to an increase of $51.9 million, or 4.9%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, and an increase of $13.0 million in non-comparable net sales. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 26.9% at the Free People Group and 10.6% at the Anthropologie Group and decreased 14.1% at Urban Outfitters. Retail segment comparable net sales increased in North America and were flat in Europe. The overall increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by mid-single-digit positive growth in both retail store sales and digital channel sales. Comparable store net sales increased as higher store traffic and average unit retail price were partially offset by decreases in units per transaction, conversion rate and transactions. The digital channel comparable net sales increase was driven by increases in sessions and average order value, while conversion rate and units per transaction decreased. The increase in non-comparable net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the 44 new Company-owned stores and

restaurants opened and 20 Company-owned stores and restaurants closed since the prior comparable period and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

The decrease in Wholesale segment net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, was due to a $3.6 million, or 6.5%, decrease in sales for the Free People Group, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales. The Free People Group wholesale sales decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales to department stores. The increase in Nuuly segment net sales was driven by an 85% increase in our subscribers compared to the end of the prior year's comparable quarter.

Gross profit percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased to 35.8% of net sales from 31.7% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross profit increased to $455.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 from $374.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in gross profit rate was primarily due to higher initial merchandise markups and lower merchandise markdowns at all three Retail segment brands. Higher initial merchandise markups were primarily driven by lower inbound transportation costs as a result of the improved global supply chain environment, which was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit dollars was due to the improved gross profit rate and higher net sales.

Total inventory at July 31, 2023, as compared to July 31, 2022, decreased by $111.0 million, or 15.9%, to $586.5 million. Retail segment inventory decreased by 14.1% primarily due to improved inventory control supported by a more reliable supply chain. Wholesale segment inventory decreased by 31.6% due to improved inventory control and a reduction in wholesale sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $34.7 million, or 12.0%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 to 25.4% of net sales, compared to 24.4% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses as a rate to sales was primarily related to higher incentive-based compensation costs due to improved Company performance and increased marketing and creative expenses to support increased sales and customer growth. The dollar growth in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to higher compensation costs, including higher incentive-based compensation costs due to improved Company performance, as well as increased marketing and creative expenses to support increased sales and customer growth.

Income from operations was 10.4% of net sales, or $132.1 million, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 7.3% of net sales, or $85.8 million, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by the increase in gross profit. The increase in operating income rate was primarily due to the higher gross profit rate.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was 23.2% compared to 28.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The change in effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was attributable to the ratio of foreign taxable earnings to global taxable earnings and the favorable impact of general business credits in the current year.

Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2023 were $2.39 billion, compared to $2.24 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2023. The $150.5 million increase was attributable to a $105.6 million, or 5.1%, increase in Retail segment net sales and an increase in Nuuly segment net sales of $55.6 million, or 107.8%, partially offset by a $10.7 million, or 8.5%, decrease in Wholesale segment net sales.

The increase in our Retail segment net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2024 was due to an increase of $94.3 million, or 4.7%, in Retail segment comparable net sales and an increase of $11.3 million in non-comparable net sales. Retail segment comparable net sales increased 22.5% at the Free People Group and 11.9% at the Anthropologie Group and decreased 13.7% at Urban Outfitters. Retail segment comparable net sales increased in North America and were flat in Europe. The overall increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by mid-single-digit positive growth in both digital channel sales and retail store sales. The digital channel net sales increase was driven by increases in sessions and average order value, while conversion rate and units per transaction decreased. Comparable store net sales increased as a result of higher store traffic and average unit retail price, which were partially offset by decreases in units per transaction, conversion rate and transactions. The increase in non-comparable net sales during the first half of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the positive net impact of the 49 new Company-owned stores and restaurants opened and 23 Company-owned stores and restaurants closed since the prior comparable period, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation.

The decrease in Wholesale segment net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2024, as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2023, was due to a $12.5 million, or 10.7%, decrease in sales for the Free People Group, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales. The Free People Group wholesale sales decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales to department stores and specialty stores. The increase in Nuuly segment net sales was due to an 85% increase in our subscribers compared to the end of the prior year's comparable period.

Gross profit percentage for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased to 34.7% of net sales from 31.2% of net sales in the comparable period of fiscal 2023. Gross profit increased to $826.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024 from $697.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2023. The increase in gross profit rate was primarily due to higher initial merchandise markups at all three Retail segment brands primarily driven by lower inbound transportation costs as a result of the improved global supply chain environment, which was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year period. Additionally, the gross profit rate benefited from lower merchandise markdowns at the Anthropologie Group and Free People Group brands. The increase in gross profit dollars was due to the improved gross profit rate and higher net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $57.5 million, or 10.2%, in the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the first six months of fiscal 2024 to 26.2% of net sales, compared to 25.3% of net sales for the comparable period of fiscal 2023.

Income from operations was 8.5% of net sales, or $203.5 million, for the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to 5.9% of net sales, or $132.1 million, for the first six months of fiscal 2023. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by the increase in gross profit. The increase in operating income rate was primarily due to the higher gross profit rate.

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2024 was 24.5% compared to 28.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following tables set forth certain balance sheet and cash flow data for the periods indicated. These tables should be read in the conjunction with the discussion that follows:

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(178.0	)		35.7
Net cash used in financing activities		(9.3	)		(118.3	)

The increase in working capital as of July 31, 2023, as compared to January 31, 2023, was primarily due to the increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, partially offset by the timing of disbursements. The increase in working capital as of July 31, 2023, as compared to July 31, 2022, was primarily due to the increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, partially offset by the decrease in inventory.

During the last two years, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operating activities and/or through the sales and maturities of marketable securities. Our primary uses of cash have been to fund business operations, purchase inventory and rental product, expand and improve 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. The change in cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to cash used in operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to lower inventory purchases and higher net income in the first six months of fiscal 2024.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2024 primarily related to purchases of marketable securities, property and equipment and the initial cash payment for a tax credit investment, partially offset by the sales and maturities of marketable securities. Cash provided by investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily related to the sales and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment and marketable securities. Cash paid for property and equipment in the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023 was $78.5 million and $105.7 million, respectively, which was primarily used to expand our fulfillment center network and store base in both periods.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2024 primarily related to repurchases of our common shares from employees to meet payroll tax withholding requirements on vested share-based awards. Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily related to repurchases of our common shares under our share repurchase programs and from employees to meet payroll tax withholding requirements on vested share-based awards.

Credit Facilities

See Note 5, “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 2024, we plan to open approximately 28 new Company-owned retail locations, expand or relocate certain existing retail locations, increase capacity at our Bristol, Pennsylvania Nuuly fulfillment center and invest in a new Nuuly fulfillment center in Raymore, Missouri in response to growth in the number of Nuuly subscribers, invest in new products, markets and brands, purchase inventory and rental product 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. Additionally, we completed construction on our new omni-channel fulfillment center in Kansas City, Kansas in fiscal 2024. 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 growth and plan to continue our investment in these initiatives for all brands. We anticipate our capital expenditures during fiscal 2024 to be approximately $230 million, primarily to support new and expanded fulfillment and distribution centers and new store openings. All fiscal 2024 capital expenditures are expected to be financed by cash flow from operating activities and existing cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our new store investments generally have the potential to generate positive cash flow within a year. 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.
