URBAN OUTFITTERS INC Segments Disclosure
17. Segment Reporting
The Company offers lifestyle-oriented general merchandise and products and services through a portfolio of global consumer brands. The Company operates three reportable segments—“Retail,” “Subscription” and “Wholesale.”
The Company’s Retail segment includes Anthropologie (which includes the Anthropologie, Terrain and Maeve brands), Free People (which includes the Free People and FP Movement brands), Urban Outfitters and Menus & Venues. As of January 31, 2026, there were 254 Anthropologie stores, 180 Free People stores, 88 FP Movement stores, 253 Urban Outfitters stores, 9 Menus & Venues locations, 7 Urban Outfitters franchisee-owned stores and 2 Anthropologie franchisee-owned stores. Each of Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters, including their Company-owned and franchisee-owned store and digital channels, and Menus & Venues locations, are considered an operating segment. Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for approximately 85.7%, 88.2% and 90.8% of total consolidated net sales for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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 closely integrated, including retail locations, websites, mobile applications and customer contact centers. The Company’s 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. The Company manages and analyzes its performance based on a single Retail segment omni-channel rather than separate channels and believes that the Retail segment omni-channel results present the most meaningful and appropriate measure of our performance.
The Company's Subscription segment includes the Nuuly brand which offers customers a more sustainable way to explore fashion primarily through a monthly women’s apparel subscription rental service. For a monthly fee, Nuuly subscribers can rent product from a wide selection of the Company’s own brands, third-party brands and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces via a custom-built, digital platform. Subscribers select their products each month, wear them as often as they like and then swap into new products the following month. Subscribers are also able to purchase rental product in their possession that was delivered as part of the customer's monthly subscription rental order or through the Nuuly website or mobile application, which will ship along with their next monthly subscription rental order. Net sales from the Subscription segment accounted for approximately 9.2%, 6.8%, and 4.6% of total consolidated net sales for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company's Wholesale segment includes the Free People, FP Movement and Urban Outfitters brands that sell through department and specialty stores worldwide, third-party digital businesses and the Company's Retail segment. The Wholesale segment primarily designs, develops and markets women’s contemporary apparel, intimates, FP Movement activewear and shoes under the Free People and FP Movement brands and the BDG and “iets frans” apparel collections under the Urban Outfitters brand. Net sales from the
Wholesale segment accounted for approximately 5.1%, 5.0% and 4.6% of total consolidated net sales for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company's chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer ("CEO"). The CEO regularly reviews net sales, gross profit and income from operations (excluding intercompany charges) when evaluating the performance of each segment and considers actual-to-budget variances for both profit measures when assessing segment performance and making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CEO uses net sales, gross profit and income from operations when evaluating each segment during the budget and forecasting processes. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties making similar volume purchases. General 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.
Other assets are comprised primarily of general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, deferred taxes and prepaid expenses, and are typically not allocated to the Company’s segments.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the policies described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” 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:

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
