EXPLANATORY NOTE
Urban Outfitters, Inc. (the "Company") relied on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the "Order") to delay the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak. The original due date for filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was June 9, 2020. On June 8, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to indicate its intention to rely on the Order for such extension. Consistent with the Company’s statements made in the Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company was unable to file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q until June 30, 2020 because the Company’s operations and business have experienced significant disruptions due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. These disruptions include, but are not limited to, the temporary leaves of absence of a significant number of our employees, the temporary closures of all of our offices and global retail locations, and other financial and operational concerns associated with or caused by COVID-19. Specifically, the Company relied on the Order to allow for additional time to complete the impairment assessments of the Company’s long-lived assets for the quarter, which was necessary to finalize this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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, 2020, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2020.
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, 2020 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 2021 will end on January 31, 2021.
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
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide, causing public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including warning against congregating in heavily populated areas, such as malls and shopping centers. On March 14, 2020, the Company announced that it temporarily closed all stores globally; however, the Company continued to fulfill digital orders from its stores where permitted by local authorities. The Company’s distribution and fulfillment centers remained open to support the digital business and the Wholesale segment operations but have done so with additional safety procedures and enhanced cleaning to protect the health of employees. The Company closed its offices and showrooms globally with the exception of location dependent employees. All other corporate and showroom employees are working remotely. The coronavirus pandemic continues to materially impact the Company’s operations in the United States and globally, and related government and private sector responsive actions have and will continue to adversely affect its business operations. Because it is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the coronavirus pandemic, current financial information may not be necessarily indicative of future operating results and the Company’s plans as described below may change.
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Company has taken many additional measures to protect its financial position and increase financial flexibility during this challenging time period. Those include:
|
|
• |
Furloughing a substantial number of store, wholesale and home office associates, |
|
|
• |
Suspending all new hiring except in its fulfillment and call centers, |
|
|
• |
Suspending all merit raises and bonuses for fiscal 2021, |
|
|
• |
Borrowing $ |

|
|
• |
Reducing its capital budget by over $ |
|
|
• |
Adjusting inventory levels by cancelling or delaying many orders and asking for price concessions on those remaining, |
|
|
• |
Reducing all non-payroll expenses, including creative, marketing, and travel, among others, |
|
|
• |
Extending payment terms for both merchandise and non-merchandise vendor invoices by |
|
|
• |
Reducing certain occupancy and occupancy related expenses, |
|
|
• |
Reducing investments in two Company growth initiatives: Nuuly and expansion into China, |
|
|
• |
Reducing senior leadership compensation for the duration of the furlough time period, |
|
|
• |
Eliminating Board of Directors’ cash compensation through the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and |
|
|
• |
Suspending share repurchases for the foreseeable future (see Note 9, “Shareholders’ Equity”). |
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, during the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded certain additional reserves and non-cash charges. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company assessed the value of its inventory in the Retail and Wholesale segments and recorded a $
As a result of the global coronavirus pandemic, governments in the United States, United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Canada and various other jurisdictions have implemented programs to encourage companies to retain and pay employees that are unable to work or are limited in the work that they can perform in light of closures or a significant decline in sales. The Company continued to pay all employees through at least April 1, 2020. On March 31, 2020, the Company announced it furloughed a substantial number of store, wholesale and home office employees beginning April 1. Impacted employees continued to receive enrolled benefits during the furlough period. As such, the Company qualifies for certain of these programs which will partially offset related expenses. The Company is evaluating the reimbursement it is eligible to receive under such programs and will record the cumulative benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and through the eligibility period of such programs.
Beginning April 25, 2020, the Company started to reopen stores in select states and countries. When the Company reopened these stores, it did so in accordance with local government guidelines. As of June 24, 2020, the Company has reopened more than
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 transactions and sales to the Company’s Wholesale segment customers and franchisees. For the three month period ended April 30, 2020, the opening and closing balances of contract receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $
7
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, 2020, January 31, 2020 and April 30, 2019.
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, 2020, January 31, 2020 and April 30, 2019, 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. The fair value of debt approximates its carrying value as it is all variable rate debt.
Non-financial assets
The Company’s non-financial assets, primarily consisting of property and equipment, lease-related right-of-use assets and goodwill, are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and, in the case of goodwill, an annual assessment is performed.
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. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. The Company evaluates goodwill to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets at the Company’s retail locations were unable to recover their carrying value primarily due to the impact of the mandated store closures and anticipated reduced store net sales during the remainder of fiscal 2021 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. These assets were written down to a fair value resulting in impairment charges of $

In response to the coronavirus pandemic and mandated store closures, the Company withheld certain minimum lease payments due to landlords. The amount withheld at April 30, 2020 was included in “Current portion of operating lease liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has been in discussion with its landlords to obtain rent concessions. To the extent the rent concessions do not result in a substantial increase in total payments in the existing lease, the Company will account for such rent concessions as negative variable rent. To the extent the rent concessions do result in a substantial increase in total payments in the existing lease, the Company will account for such rent concessions as a lease modification.

8. 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 (“RSU’s”), performance stock units (“PSU’s”) or stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”). A Black-Scholes model was used to estimate the fair value of stock options. The fair value of PSU’s and RSU’s is equal to the stock price on the date of the grant.

As a result of the net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2020, all share-based awards have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share and therefore there was no difference in the weighted average number of common shares for basic and diluted loss per share as the effect of all potentially dilutive shares outstanding was anti-dilutive.

13. Segment Reporting
The Company offers lifestyle-oriented general merchandise and consumer products and services through a portfolio of global consumer brands. The Company operates
The Company’s Retail segment consists of the “Anthropologie,” “Bhldn,” “Free People,” “Terrain” and “Urban Outfitters” brands and the Menus & Venues division. 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 stores, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers.
The Company’s Wholesale segment consists of the Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters brands. The Wholesale segment sells through department and specialty stores worldwide, digital businesses and the Retail segment.
The Subscription segment consists of the “Nuuly” brand, which is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that launched on July 30, 2019. Prior year expenses related to the Subscription segment that were classified as “Retail operations” and “General corporate expenses” have been reclassified to the Subscription segment as a result of the establishment of the Subscription segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Property and equipment related to the Subscription segment have also been reclassified from the Retail segment.
The Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on the net sales and pre-tax 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 Subscription segment are rental product and property and equipment.
16
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, 2020. All of the Company’s segments are highly diversified.

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 the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 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, overall economic and market conditions and worldwide political events and the resultant impact on consumer spending patterns, 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, terrorism and civil unrest, natural disasters, severe or unseasonable weather conditions or public health crises such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, increases in labor costs, increases in raw material costs, availability of suitable retail space for expansion, timing of store openings, risks associated with international expansion, seasonal fluctuations in gross sales, the departure of one or more key senior executives, import risks, 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, risks associated with digital sales, our ability to maintain and expand our digital sales channels, response to new store concepts, our ability to integrate acquisitions, any material disruptions or security breaches with respect to our technology systems, failure of our manufacturers and third-party vendors to comply with our social compliance program, changes in our effective income tax rate (including the uncertainties associated with the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), 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, 2020, filed on March 31, 2020. 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 Subscription. Our Retail segment consists of our Anthropologie, Bhldn, Free People, Terrain and Urban Outfitters brands and our Menus & Venues division. Our Retail segment consumer products and services are sold directly to our customers through our stores, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers and franchised or third-party operated stores and digital businesses. The Wholesale segment consists of our Free People, Anthropologie 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 home goods. Our Subscription segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that launched on July 30, 2019.
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 2021 will end on January 31, 2021.
Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide, causing public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including warning against congregating in heavily populated areas, such as malls and shopping centers. On March 14, 2020, the Company announced that it temporarily closed all stores globally; however, the Company continued to fulfill digital orders from its stores where permitted by local authorities. The Company’s distribution and fulfillment centers remained open to support the digital business and the Wholesale segment operations but have done so with additional safety procedures and
19
enhanced cleaning to protect the health of employees. The Company closed its offices and showrooms globally with the exception of location dependent employees. All other corporate and showroom employees are working remotely. The coronavirus pandemic continues to materially impact the Company’s operations in the United States and globally, and related government and private sector responsive actions have and will continue to adversely affect its business operations. Because it is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the coronavirus pandemic, current financial information may not be necessarily indicative of future operating results and the Company’s plans as described below may change.
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Company has taken many additional measures to protect its financial position and increase financial flexibility during this challenging time period. Those include:
|
|
• |
Furloughing a substantial number of store, wholesale and home office associates, |
|
|
• |
Suspending all new hiring except in its fulfillment and call centers, |
|
|
• |
Suspending all merit raises and bonuses for fiscal 2021, |
|
|
• |
Borrowing $220.0 million (and subsequently repaying $100.0 million on June 17, 2020) under its Amended Credit Facility (as defined herein) to further protect its cash reserves (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), |
|
|
• |
Reducing its capital budget by over $140 million from approximately $260 million to approximately $120 million by delaying or cancelling projects, |
|
|
• |
Adjusting inventory levels by cancelling or delaying many orders and asked for price concessions on those remaining, |
|
|
• |
Reducing all non-payroll expenses, including creative, marketing, and travel to name a few, |
|
|
• |
Extending payment terms for both merchandise and non-merchandise vendor invoices by 30 days, |
|
|
• |
Reducing certain occupancy and occupancy related expenses, |
|
|
• |
Reducing investments in two Company growth initiatives: Nuuly and expansion into China, |
|
|
• |
Reducing senior leadership compensation for the duration of the furlough time period, |
|
|
• |
Eliminating Board of Directors’ cash compensation through the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and |
|
|
• |
Suspending share repurchases for the foreseeable future (see Note 9, “Shareholders’ Equity,” of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information). |
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, during the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded certain additional reserves and non-cash charges. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company assessed the value of its inventory in the Retail and Wholesale segments and recorded a $43.3 million increase in its inventory obsolescence reserves. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $5.8 million increase in allowance for doubtful accounts reserves for Wholesale segment customer accounts receivables as a result of the significant disruption and uncertainty currently in the wholesale macro environment. Finally, during the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets at the Company’s retail locations were unable to recover their carrying value primarily driven due to the impact of the mandated store closures and anticipated reduced store net sales during the remainder of fiscal 2021 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. These assets were written down to a fair value resulting in impairment charges of $14.5 million across 39 retail locations.
As a result of the global coronavirus pandemic, governments in the United States, United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Canada and various other jurisdictions have implemented programs to encourage companies to retain and pay employees that are unable to work or are limited in the work that they can perform in light of closures or a significant decline in sales. The Company continued to pay all employees through at least April 1, 2020. On March 31, 2020, the Company announced it furloughed a substantial number of store, wholesale and home office employees beginning April 1. Impacted employees continued to receive enrolled benefits during the furlough period. As such, the Company qualifies for certain of these programs which will partially offset related expenses. The Company is evaluating the reimbursement it is eligible to receive under such programs and will record the cumulative benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and through the eligibility period of such programs.
Beginning April 25, 2020, the Company started to reopen stores in select states and countries. When the Company reopened these stores, it did so in accordance with local government guidelines. As of June 24, 2020, the
20
Company has reopened more than 570 of its stores globally and intends to continue reopening stores around the world as states and countries permit the reopening of retail operations. The Company has not changed its remote work arrangements for its corporate employees.
As we have reopened stores, we have followed newly established health protocols, provided personal protective equipment to our employees, and implemented social distancing working practices. Additionally, we are implementing occupancy limits, reducing operating hours, and instituting new cleaning regimens, including enhanced cleaning of high-touch surfaces throughout the day and making hand sanitizer available to our customers and employees. As a result, the Company is planning on incurring incremental costs going forward for personal protective equipment and additional payroll and supply costs associated with social distancing protocols and cleaning regimens we are putting in place in our stores, distribution and fulfillment centers, and offices.
Civil Unrest
In May 2020, significant civil unrest impacted 55 stores located in North America with varying degrees of damage, including recently reopened stores and stores from which we fulfilled digital orders. As a result, we temporarily closed these stores in order to assess the damage and make repairs in affected areas to ensure the safety of our customers and employees. We maintain business interruption and property insurance coverage, which covers inventory at the selling price and property and equipment at replacement costs, less a deductible. We are currently assessing the degree of the damage and the extent to which insurance may be available to cover the costs associated with these events. However, we do not expect losses after insurance recoveries to be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 stores, 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 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 and average units per transaction at our stores and on our websites and mobile applications. We additionally monitor average unit selling price and transactions at our stores and average order value and conversion rates 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, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through approximately 2,300 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, home goods including gifts, tabletop and textiles under the Anthropologie brand and the BDG apparel collection under the Urban Outfitters brand. Our Wholesale segment net sales accounted for approximately 3.6% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2020, compared to 9.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2020.
Subscription Segment
Our Subscription segment consists of the Nuuly brand, which is a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service that launched on July 30, 2019. For a monthly fee, Nuuly subscribers can select rental product from a wide selection of the Company’s own brands, third-party labels 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. Our Subscription segment net sales accounted for approximately 1.1% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2020.
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, 2020, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020. 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. Other than the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our inventory obsolescence reserves in the Retail and Wholesale segments, the allowance for doubtful accounts on our Wholesale segment accounts receivable and the obsolescence reserves on our Subscription segment rental product, 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 three months ended April 30, 2020.

Results of Operations
As a Percentage of Net Sales
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, our stores were closed for nearly half of the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In addition to lost revenues, we incurred expenses that were not commensurate with the level of current level of sales. As a result, comparisons of expense ratios and year-over-year trends were impacted in a meaningful way.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of our net sales represented by certain income statement data and the change in certain income statement data from period to period. This table should be read in conjunction with the discussion that follows:

Three Months Ended April 30, 2020 Compared To Three Months Ended April 30, 2019
Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were $588.5 million, compared to $864.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The $275.9 million decrease was attributable to a $221.3 million, or 28.3%, decrease in Retail segment net sales and a $60.9 million, or 74.4%, decrease in Wholesale segment net sales, partially offset by $6.3 million of Subscription segment net sales. Retail segment net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 accounted for 95.3% of total net sales compared to 90.5% of total net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
The decrease in our Retail segment net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was due to a decrease of $208.3 million, or 27.5%, in Retail segment comparable net sales, and a decrease of $13.0 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 decreased 19.1% at Free People, 24.1% at Urban Outfitters and 32.8% at the Anthropologie Group. Retail segment comparable net sales decreased in both North America and Europe. The decrease in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by negative comparable store net sales due to mandated store closures as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, partially offset by low double-digit growth in the digital channel. Negative comparable store net sales resulted from a decrease in transactions, average unit selling price and units per transaction. Store traffic for the quarter decreased. The digital channel net sales increase was driven by an increase in conversion rate, sessions and units per transaction, while average order value decreased. The decrease in non-comparable net sales was primarily due to the mandated store closures as a result of the coronavirus pandemic at the 30 new Company-owned stores and restaurants opened and 13 Company-owned stores and restaurants closed since the prior comparable period.
The decrease in Wholesale segment net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020, was primarily due to a 74.3% decrease for the Free People brand, due to the majority of the brand’s wholesale partners having all or a meaningful portion of their businesses closed for a significant portion of the quarter. The segment decrease was also due to decreases of $2.2 million in Anthropologie Home sales and $0.2 million in Urban Outfitters BDG sales.
25
Gross profit percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased to 2.0% of net sales, from 31.1% of net sales in the comparable quarter in fiscal 2020. Gross profit decreased to $11.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 from $269.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in gross profit percentage was due to significant store occupancy deleverage, a meaningful increase in inventory obsolescence reserves, an increase in delivery expense and an increase in merchandise markdowns. While stores were closed for half of the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, store occupancy expense significantly deleveraged as rent and other occupancy costs are unadjusted until agreements are reached with landlords. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a $14.5 million store impairment charge and a $43.3 million year-over-year increase in inventory obsolescence reserves due to an increase in aged inventory and an increase in the promotional environment in both the Retail and Wholesale segments. Delivery expense increased primarily due to the increase in penetration of the digital channel, lower average order value and an increase in split shipments.
Total inventory at April 30, 2020 as compared to April 30, 2019, decreased by $72.7 million, or 17.8%, to $335.6 million. The decrease in inventory was due to an 18% decrease in Retail segment inventory and a 16% decrease in Wholesale segment inventory. The decrease in both segments was primarily due to cancelling orders to align with store closures and overall reduced consumer demand, as well as an increase in inventory obsolescence reserves.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 8.1%, to $210.6 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to $229.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to 35.8% of net sales, compared to 26.5% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative percentage was primarily related to deleverage in store and field management expense. The Company continued to employ and pay a large portion of its regional and store management teams despite store closures and reduced sales during the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, marketing expenses increased as a percentage of net sales primarily due to the increase in digital channel penetration. The Company also recorded a significant increase in allowance for doubtful accounts reserves for wholesale customer accounts receivables as a result of the significant current disruption and uncertainty in the wholesale macro environment. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the cost savings measures the Company put in place after mandated store closures as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Loss from operations was 33.8% of net sales, or $198.7 million, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to income from operations of 4.6% of net sales, or $40.0 million, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was a benefit of 30.3% of loss before income taxes compared to an expense of 23.7% of income before income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the tax benefit for the carryback of the current year net operating loss, as provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act allows net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. Current year net operating losses will be carried back to fiscal year 2016 when the statutory tax rate was 35% rather than the current statutory tax rate of 21%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $667.1 million as of April 30, 2020, as compared to $530.4 million as of January 31, 2020 and $614.3 million as of April 30, 2019. During the first three months of fiscal 2021, we borrowed $220.0 million under our Amended Credit Facility, used $59.7 million in cash from operations, invested $43.5 million in property and equipment and repurchased $7.0 million of common shares under our share repurchase programs. The shares repurchased during the three months of fiscal 2021 were prior to the known spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, which forced the Company to close its stores for an extended period of time. Our working capital was $513.4 million at April 30, 2020 compared to $414.6 million at January 31, 2020 and $491.1 million at April 30, 2019. The increase in working capital as compared to January 31, 2020, was primarily due to the net increase in cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities due to the $220.0 million borrowing under our Amended Credit Facility partially offset by uses of cash to fund store related expenses during the mandated store closures.
26
During the last two years, we have satisfied our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operating activities and additionally in the first three months of fiscal 2021, through our borrowings. Our primary uses of cash have been to repurchase our common shares, open new stores, purchase inventory, fund store operations and expand our home offices and fulfillment centers.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities during the first three months of fiscal 2021 was a cash outflow of $59.7 million compared to a cash inflow of $25.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020. For both periods, 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 period over period decrease in cash flows from operations was due to the net loss incurred in the first three months of fiscal 2021 driven by the material negative impact that the mandated store closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic had on the Company’s operations. Although the Company’s stores were closed for the second half of the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company continued to incur various store operational costs, such as employee costs and costs for a large portion of its regional and store management teams despite store closures and reduced sales during the coronavirus pandemic.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2021 was a cash inflow of $222.2 million compared to a cash outflow of $15.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020. Net liquidations of our marketable securities portfolio in the first three months of fiscal 2021 were primarily to preserve financial flexibility and maintain liquidity in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2020 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 three months of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was $43.5 million and $37.7 million, respectively, which was primarily used to expand our fulfillment center network in fiscal 2021 and 2020. See Capital and Operating Expenditures for further discussion of the Company’s plans to reduce planned capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2021 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities during the first three months of fiscal 2021 was a cash inflow of $209.2 million compared to a cash outflow of $75.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020. Cash provided by financing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2021 primarily related to $220.0 million of borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility, partially offset by $7.0 million of repurchases of our common shares under our share repurchase program. The shares repurchased during the three months of fiscal 2021 were prior to the known spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, which forced the Company to close its stores for an extended period of time. The Company has since suspended share repurchase activity under its programs for the foreseeable future. Cash used in financing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2020 primarily related to $71.2 million of repurchases of our common shares under our share repurchase program.
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
With the additional measures in place noted above under Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic, during fiscal 2021, we plan to complete construction of a new omni-channel fulfillment center in Europe, open approximately 21 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 believe that our new brand initiatives, new store openings, merchandise expansion programs,
27
international growth opportunities and our marketing, social media, website and mobile initiatives are significant contributors to our Retail segment sales. All fiscal 2021 capital expenditures are expected to be financed by cash flow from operating activities and borrowings. We believe that our new store investments generally have the potential to generate positive cash flow within a year; however, the impact of the coronavirus 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.
Share Repurchases
See Note 9, “Shareholders’ Equity,” 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 share repurchases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of and for the three months ended April 30, 2020, we were not party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Other Matters

The coronavirus pandemic has and will continue to materially and adversely affect our business operations globally.
The coronavirus pandemic continues to materially impact the Company’s operations in the United States and globally, and related government and private sector responsive actions have and will continue to adversely affect its business operations. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide, causing public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including warning against congregating in heavily populated areas, such as malls and shopping centers. On March 14, 2020, the Company announced that it temporarily closed all stores globally. The Company has reopened stores in select states and countries as permitted by local government guidelines for retail establishments and intends to continue to reopen stores while following newly established health protocols, providing personal protective equipment to our employees, and implementing social distancing working practices as required by local authorities. The Company’s distribution and fulfillment centers remained open to support the digital business and the Wholesale segment operations but have done so with additional safety procedures and enhanced cleaning to protect the health of the employees. The Company closed its offices and showrooms globally with the exception of location dependent employees. All other corporate and showroom employees are working remotely.
The extent of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our business, consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position and consolidated cash flows, including any potential impairment or other fair value adjustments, will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak in the U.S. and globally, the related impact on consumer confidence and spending and the willingness of customers to visit malls and shopping centers, the willingness of employees to staff our stores and fulfillment centers, and when, or if, we will be able to resume normal operations, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Additionally, we may need to cease or significantly limit our operations again if subsequent outbreaks occur, either more broadly or within our stores. Nevertheless, the coronavirus pandemic presents significant uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, financial performance and condition, operating results, liquidity and cash flows.
