Urban Outfitters Q2 Earnings Soar 117%
Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ:URBN), a leading lifestyle consumer products company operating under the Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and Free People brands, today announced record earnings of $20.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2004, a 117% increase over the comparable quarter last year. Second quarter diluted earnings per share rose to $0.25 this year from $0.12 in the prior year.
As previously stated, net sales for the second quarter increased by 54% to a record $189.5 million. Fueling this increase over the prior year was:
| • | a 26% jump in total Company comparable store sales |
| • | new and non-comparable store sales of $27.7 million |
| • | a 100% spike in direct-to-consumer sales |
| • | a 28% surge in wholesale sales |
Comparable store sales at Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters were up 25%, 41% and 27%, respectively for a combined 26% on top of an 11% combined sales increase during the comparable quarter last year. For the six months ended July 31, 2004, total Company comparable store sales jumped by 29%, and total Company sales increased to a record $359.8 million, a 56% increase over the first six months of the prior year and.
“We continued to deliver exceptional performance in the second quarter by producing 26% ‘comp’ store sales increases and 18% operating margins,” said Richard A. Hayne, Chairman and President. Mr. Hayne also added that “we are optimistic about our fall fashion offerings based on initial customer response in stores and to the July catalog drops.”

For the three and six months, gross profit margins increased by 350 and 448 basis points, respectively, versus the prior year’s comparable periods. These gains were primarily due to higher initial merchandise margins and the leveraging of occupancy expenses.
As of July 31, 2004, total Company inventories grew by $29.5 million on a year-over-year basis. The acquisition of inventory to stock new retail stores was the primary factor for this increase. On a comparable store basis, the Company has continued to expedite shipment and receipt of merchandise earlier than last year and increase its modestly planned inventory buy to accommodate the current sales trends. These measures have resulted in a 10.4% increase of comparable store inventory over last year’s levels. The Company believes its inventory levels are adequate to meet the current rate of customer demand.
For the three and six months, selling, general and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 189 and 152 basis points, respectively, versus the comparable periods last year. These improvements were primarily a result of the leveraging of store-related expenses.
As of July 31, 2004 of this fiscal year, the Company has opened six new Anthropologie stores and seven new Urban Outfitters stores. The Company plans to open 11 to 14 additional stores during the remainder of the fiscal year.
Urban Outfitters, Inc. is an innovative specialty retailer and wholesaler which offers a variety of lifestyle merchandise to highly defined customer niches through 68 Urban Outfitters stores in the United States, Canada, and Europe; an Urban Outfitters catalog and web site (www.urbanoutfitters.com); 58 Anthropologie stores in the United States; an Anthropologie catalog and web site (www.anthropologie.com); and Free People, the Company’s wholesale division, which sells its product to approximately 1,100 specialty stores, department stores and catalogs, as well as through one Free People store, as of July 31, 2004.
