Aug 22, 2024 5:22 PM

Urban Outfitters, Inc. ( URBN ) reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results after Wednesday's closing bell. Here's a look at the key figures from the quarter.  

The Details: Urban Outfitters ( URBN ) reported quarterly earnings of $1.24 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.01 by 22.77%. The company announced record quarterly sales of $1.35 billion, which beat the analyst consensus estimate and represents a 6.13% from the same period last year.

Total Retail segment net sales increased 3.1%, with comparable Retail segment net sales increasing 2% driven by low single-digit positive growth in both digital channel sales and retail store sales.

Comparable Retail segment net sales increased 7.1% at Free People and 6.7% at Anthropologie and decreased 9.3% at Urban Outfitters ( URBN ). 

Nuuly segment net sales increased by 62.6% primarily driven by a 55% increase in average active subscribers in the current quarter versus the prior year quarter. 

Wholesale segment net sales increased 15.1% driven by a 17.5% increase in Free People wholesale sales due to an increase in sales to department stores and specialty customers, partially offset by a decrease in Urban Outfitters ( URBN ) wholesale sales.
