The US lifestyle group Urban Outfitters has announced that the company’s total net sales increased by 11.4 percent to 1.48 billion US dollars (1.27 billion euros) in the reporting period. Net profit reached a record high of $115.7 million. Earnings per diluted share were $1.30.
Net sales across the retail segment increased eight percent. Comparable net sales in the retail segment increased 5.6 percent. The growth was driven by a high single-digit increase in the digital sales channel and a mid-single-digit growth in stationary retail.
Positive growth across all brands and channels
Comparable retail net sales increased 9.8 percent at FP Group, 9.3 percent at Urban Outfitters and 1.9 percent at Anthropologie. Net revenue in the subscription segment grew 34.5 percent, driven by a 33.3 percent increase in average active subscribers.
Net sales in the wholesale segment increased by 24.8 percent. The decisive factor for this was an increase of 26.2 percent in the FP Group’s wholesale sales as a result of increased sales to specialist retail partners.
“We are pleased to report record first quarter sales and profits, driven by positive retail comparable sales across all brands as well as impressive double-digit growth in our wholesale and subscription segments,” said Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Richard A. Hayne. “Our customers remain engaged and respond to compelling fashion trends. This gives us confidence in the continued success of URBN.”
Gross profit rose 10.9 percent to $542.6 million in the period, up from $489.1 million in the same period last year. However, gross profit margin decreased 16 basis points compared to the three months ended April 30, 2025. This was due to a one-time gain of $4.8 million, or 36 basis points, in the prior year quarter, which was not repeated in the current quarter.
