PART I

Item 1. Business

General

We are an innovative lifestyle merchandising company that operates specialty retail stores under the Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People brands, as well as a wholesale segment under the Free People brand. We have over 35 years of experience creating and managing retail stores that offer highly differentiated collections of fashion apparel, accessories and home goods in inviting and dynamic store settings. Our core strategy is to provide unified store environments that establish emotional bonds with the customer. In addition to our retail stores, we offer our products and market our brands directly to the consumer through our e-commerce web sites, www.urbanoutfitters.com, www.anthropologie.com, www.freepeople.com and www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk and also through our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People catalogs. We have achieved compounded annual sales growth of approximately 29.0% over the past five years, with sales of approximately $1.2 billion in fiscal 2007.

We opened our first store in 1970 near the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia. We were incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1976, and opened our second store in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980. The first Anthropologie store opened in a suburb of Philadelphia in October 1992. We started doing business in Europe in 1998, with our first European store located in London. We opened our first Free People store in the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey in November 2002.

Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are available free of charge on our investor relations web site, www.urbanoutfittersinc.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish such material to, the SEC. We will voluntarily provide electronic or paper copies (other than exhibits) of our filings free of charge upon written request. You may also obtain any materials we file with, or furnish to, the SEC on its web site at www.sec.gov.

Retail Segment

Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 30 through its unique merchandise mix and compelling store environment. We have established a reputation with these young adults, who are culturally sophisticated, self-expressive and concerned with acceptance by their peer group. The product offering includes women’s and men’s fashion apparel, footwear and accessories, as well as an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. Apartment wares range from rugs, pillows and shower curtains to books, candles and novelties. Stores average approximately 9,700 square feet of selling space, and typically carry 30,000 to 35,000 stock keeping units, or SKUs. Our stores are located in large metropolitan areas, select university communities, specialty centers and enclosed malls. Our stores accommodate our customers’ propensity not only to shop, but also to congregate with their peers. In fiscal 2007, we circulated approximately 11.4 million Urban Outfitters catalogs in an effort to expand our distribution channels and increase brand awareness. We plan to expand circulation to approximately 12.0 million catalogs in fiscal 2008. As of January 31, 2007, we operated 106 Urban Outfitters stores in North America and Europe, as well as the www.urbanoutfitters.com and www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk web sites and the Urban Outfitters catalog. We plan to open approximately 16 new Urban Outfitters stores in fiscal 2008. Urban Outfitters’ North American and European store sales accounted for approximately 38.9% and 5.8% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2007.

Anthropologie. Anthropologie tailors its merchandise and inviting store environment to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 30 to 45. Anthropologie’s unique and eclectic product assortment includes women’s casual apparel and accessories, home furnishings and a diverse array of gifts and decorative items. The home furnishings range from furniture, rugs, lighting and antiques to table top items, bedding and gifts. Stores average approximately 7,600 square feet of selling space, typically carry 20,000 to 25,000 SKUs and are located in specialty retail centers, upscale street locations and enclosed malls. During fiscal 2007, we circulated approximately 21.8 million catalogs and plan to modestly expand circulation to approximately 21.9 million catalogs in fiscal 2008. As of January 31, 2007, we operated 93 Anthropologie stores in the United States, as well as the www.anthropologie.com web site and the Anthropologie catalog. We plan to open approximately 16 new Anthropologie stores in fiscal 2008. Anthropologie’s store sales accounted for approximately 35.9% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

Free People. Our Free People retail stores primarily offer Free People branded merchandise targeted to young contemporary women aged 25 to 30. Free People offers a unique merchandise mix of casual women’s apparel, accessories and gifts. Our first Free People retail store opened in November 2002 and is located in the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey. We opened two new Free People stores during fiscal 2007. Free People retail stores average approximately 1,600 square feet and carry approximately 1,600 SKUs. The retail channels of Free People expose both

our wholesale accounts and retail customers to the full Free People product assortment and store environment. During fiscal 2007, we circulated approximately 3.3 million catalogs and plan to expand circulation to approximately 4.3 million catalogs in fiscal 2008. As of January 31, 2007, we operated eight Free People stores in the United States, as well as the www.freepeople.com web site and the Free People catalog. Free People retail store sales accounted for less than 1% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

Catalogs and Web Sites

In March 1998, Anthropologie introduced a direct-to-consumer catalog offering select merchandise most of which is also available in our Anthropologie stores. During fiscal 2007, Anthropologie catalog circulation was approximately 21.8 million. We believe that this catalog has been instrumental in helping to build the Anthropologie brand identity with our target customers. We plan to modestly expand catalog circulation to approximately 21.9 million during fiscal 2008 and intend to increase the level of catalog circulation over the next few years.

Anthropologie operates a web site that accepts orders directly from consumers. The web site, www.anthropologie.com, debuted in December 1998. The web site captures the spirit of the store by offering a similar array of apparel, accessories, household and gift merchandise as found in the stores. As with our catalog, we believe that the web site increases Anthropologie’s reputation and brand recognition with its target customers and helps support the traffic of Anthropologie’s store operations.

In March 2003, Urban Outfitters introduced a direct-to-consumer catalog offering selected merchandise, much of which is also available in our Urban Outfitters stores. During fiscal 2007, Urban Outfitters catalog circulation was approximately 11.4 million. We believe this catalog has expanded our distribution channels and increased brand awareness. We plan to modestly expand catalog circulation to approximately 12.0 million during fiscal 2008 and intend to increase the level of catalog circulation over the next few years.

Urban Outfitters also operates a web site that accepts orders directly from consumers. The web site, www.urbanoutfitters.com, was launched in May 2000. The web site captures the spirit of the store by offering a similar selection of merchandise as found in the stores. As with the Urban Outfitters catalog, we believe the web site increases the reputation and recognition of the brand with its target customers, as well as helps to support the traffic of Urban Outfitters store operations.

In August 2006, Urban Outfitters launched a web site targeting our European customers. The web site, www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk, captures the spirit of our European stores by offering a similar selection of merchandise as found in the stores. Fulfillment is provided from a third-party distribution center located in the United Kingdom. We believe the web site increases the reputation and recognition of the brand with its European target customers as well as helps to support our Urban Outfitters European store operations.

We successfully launched the Free People web site, www.freepeople.com, in September 2004. The web site exposes consumers to the product assortment found at Free People retail stores as well as all of the Free People wholesale offerings. The Free People catalog was introduced in October 2005. We circulated approximately 3.3 million catalogs during fiscal 2007. We plan to modestly expand catalog circulation to approximately 4.3 million during fiscal 2008 and intend to increase the level of catalog circulation over the next few years.

Increases in our catalog circulation are driven by our evaluation of the response rate to each individual catalog. Based upon that evaluation, we will adjust the frequency and circulation of our catalog portfolio as needed. In addition, we evaluate the buying pattern of our direct customers to determine those customers who respond to our catalog mailings. We also utilize the services of list rental companies to identify potential customers that will receive future catalogs.

Direct-to-consumer sales were approximately 12.6% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

Wholesale Segment

The Free People wholesale division was established in 1984 to develop, in conjunction with Urban Outfitters, private label apparel lines of young women’s casual wear that could be effectively sold at attractive prices in Urban Outfitters stores. In order to achieve minimum production lots, Free People wholesale began selling to other retailers throughout the United States. Free People’s range of tops, bottoms, sweaters and dresses are sold worldwide through approximately 1,500 better department and specialty stores, including Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Parisian, Urban Outfitters and its own Free People stores. Free People currently sells its merchandise under the Free People label. We also distribute our Free People products in certain department stores using a shop-within-shops sales model. We believe that the shop-within-shops model allows for a more complete merchandising of our Free People products and will give us greater freedom in differentiating the presentation of our products and further strengthening our brand image. We monitor the styles and products that are popular with our wholesale customers to give us insight into current fashion trends that help us better serve our retail customers. Free People presently maintains wholesale sales and showroom facilities in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. Free People wholesale sales accounted for approximately 6% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

In addition to selling its merchandise to specialty retailers, Free People wholesale also contributes production sourcing to our retail segment. Free People employs its own senior and creative management staff, but shares support services with the retail segment.

Store Environment

We create a unified environment in our stores that establishes an emotional bond with the customer. Every element of the environment is tailored to the aesthetic preferences of our target customers. Through creative design, much of the existing retail space is modified to incorporate a mosaic of fixtures, finishes and revealed architectural details. In our stores, merchandise is integrated into a variety of creative vignettes and displays designed to offer our customers an entire look at a distinct lifestyle. This dynamic visual merchandising and display technique provides the connection among the store design, the merchandise and the customer. Essential components of the ambience of each store may include playing music that appeals to our target customers, using unique signage and employing a staff that understands and identifies with the target customer.

Anthropologie considers it important to create an individualized and tailored store shopping experience for each customer. By providing an inviting and pleasant shopping atmosphere and an attentive sales staff, including in-store customer care managers, we strive to create a sense of community in our Anthropologie stores that encourages our target customers to linger and spend time exploring our stores and product offerings. Anthropologie stores are often placed in unique and

non-traditional retail locations. A majority of our Anthropologie stores opened during fiscal 2007 were located in specialty retail centers and upscale street locations. We plan a similar Anthropologie location expansion strategy in fiscal 2008.

Our Urban Outfitters stores are often located in unconventional retail spaces, including a former movie theater, bank and stock exchange. A majority of our Urban Outfitters stores that opened in fiscal 2007 were located in specialty retail centers, upscale street locations and enclosed shopping malls. We are planning a similar Urban Outfitters location expansion strategy in fiscal 2008.

Our Free People retail stores opened to date are located in enclosed shopping malls and specialty retail centers. We expect Free People stores opening in fiscal 2008 to be located in traditional enclosed shopping malls, upscale street locations and specialty retail centers.

Buying Operations

Maintaining a constant flow of fashionable merchandise for our retail segment is critically important to the on-going performance of our stores and direct-to-consumer operations. We maintain our own buying groups that select and develop products to satisfy our target customers and provide us with the appropriate amount of products at the correct time. Merchandise managers may supervise several buyers and assistant buyers. Our buyers stay in touch with the evolving tastes of their target customers by shopping at major trade markets, attending national and regional trade shows and staying current with mass media influences, including music, video, film, magazines and pop culture.

Merchandise

Our Urban Outfitters stores, web sites and catalog offer a wide array of eclectic merchandise, including women’s and men’s fashion apparel, footwear and accessories, and apartment wares and gifts. Product offerings at our Anthropologie stores, web site and catalog include women’s casual apparel and accessories, as well as home furnishings and an eclectic array of gifts and decorative accessories for the home, garden, bed and bath. Our Free People retail stores, web site and catalog offer a showcase for casual apparel, accessories and gifts, primarily developed and designed by our Free People wholesale division. Our merchandise is continuously updated to appeal to our target customers’ changing tastes and is supplied by a large number of domestic and foreign vendors, with new shipments of merchandise arriving at our stores several times a week. The wide breadth of merchandise offered by our retail segment includes national brands, as well as exclusive private label merchandise developed and designed by Free People, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. This selection allows us to offer fashionable merchandise and to differentiate our product mix from that of traditional department stores, as well as that of other specialty and direct-to-consumer retailers. Private label merchandise generally yields higher gross profit margins than brand name merchandise, and helps to keep our product offerings current and unique.

The ever-changing mix of products available to our customers allows us to adapt our merchandise to prevailing fashion trends, and, together with the inviting atmosphere of our stores, encourages our core customers to visit our stores frequently.

We seek to select price points for our merchandise that are consistent with the spending patterns of our target customers. As such, our stores carry merchandise at a wide array of price points that may vary considerably within product categories.

Store Operations

We have organized our retail store operations by brand into geographic areas or districts, each with a district manager. District managers are responsible for several stores and monitor and supervise individual store managers. Each store manager is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of one of our stores. In addition to a store manager, the staff of a typical Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie store includes a visual manager, several department managers and a full and part-time sales and visual staff. The staff of a typical Anthropologie store may also include a customer care manager who helps tailor the shopping experience to the needs of Anthropologie’s target customers. Our Free People retail stores include a store manager, a visual coordinator and full and part-time sales staff.

An essential requirement for the success of our stores is our ability to attract, train and retain talented, highly motivated store managers, visual managers and other key employees. In addition to management training programs for both newly hired and existing employees, we have a number of retention programs that offer qualitative and quantitative performance-based incentives to district-level managers, store-level managers and full-time sales associates.

Marketing and Promotion

We believe that highly visible store locations, creative store design, broad merchandise selection and visual presentation are key enticements for customers to enter and explore our stores and buy merchandise. Consequently, we rely on these factors, as well as the brand recognition created by our direct marketing activities, to draw customers into our stores, rather than on traditional forms of advertising such as print, radio and television media. Marketing activities for each of our retail concepts include special event promotions and a variety of public relations activities designed to create community awareness of our stores and products.

Suppliers

To serve our target customers and to recognize changes in fashion trends and seasonality, we purchase merchandise from numerous foreign and domestic vendors. To the extent that our vendors are located overseas or rely on overseas sources for a large portion of their merchandise, any event causing a disruption of imports, such as the imposition of import restrictions, financial or political instability in any of the countries in which goods we purchase are manufactured, or trade restrictions in the form of tariffs or quotas, or both, could adversely affect our business. During fiscal 2007, we did business with approximately 2,000 vendors. No single vendor accounted for more than 10.0% of merchandise purchased during that time. While certain of our vendors have limited financial resources and production capabilities, we do not believe that the loss of any one vendor would have a material effect on our business.

Company Operations

Distribution. The majority of merchandise purchased by our retail businesses is shipped directly to our 191,000 square foot distribution center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We own the Pennsylvania facility, which has an advanced computerized materials handling system, and is approximately 65 miles from our home offices in Philadelphia.

In March 2005, we executed a long-term operating lease to utilize an additional 459,000 square foot distribution center located in Edgefield County, South Carolina. Currently, this facility houses the majority of merchandise purchased by our wholesale and direct-to-consumer operations. This building significantly expands our distribution capacity and provides us with future opportunities for additional growth as it becomes necessary. This facility also utilizes a state-of-the-art and fully functional tilt tray sorter. The property currently accommodates all direct-to-consumer fulfillment related functions, including inventory warehousing, receiving, customer contact operations and customer shipping. We believe this additional space and equipment allows us to significantly improve our fulfillment efficiency. We can expand this space as it pertains to the additional growth requirements of both our retail and wholesale businesses.

We also utilize a distribution facility in Reno, Nevada operated by a third-party. This facility services our stores in the western United States at a favorable freight cost per unit, and provides faster turnaround from selected vendors. We plan to expand and bring this function in-house in fiscal 2008 due to our growing retail store network. In addition, we utilize a portion of the Toronto Urban Outfitters store as a wholesale distribution facility in Canada, and have a distribution center in Essex, England to service our current and near-term needs for stores in Europe.

Information Systems. Very early in our growth, we recognized the need for high-quality information in order to manage merchandise planning/buying, inventory management and control functions. We invested in a retail software package that met our processing and reporting requirements. We utilize point-of-sale register systems connected by a digital subscriber line (DSL) network to our home offices. These systems provide for register efficiencies, timely customer checkout and instant back office access to register information, as well as for daily updates of sales, inventory data and price changes. Our direct-to-consumer operations, which include the Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters catalogs and retail web sites, maintain separate software systems that manage the merchandise and customer information for our in-house customer contact center and fulfillment functions. We are currently testing and expect to launch a new, more functional web platform during fiscal 2008 that will expand capacity for additional traffic and sales through the web. The Free People wholesale segment uses a separate software system for customer service, order entry and allocations, production planning and inventory management. During fiscal 2007, we successfully completed installation of a new wholesale customer service system that provides significantly improved functionality and flexibility to help serve our customers. This system has the capability to handle additional workload related to increased order volume and will better suit us over the long term to meet its forward growth needs. We have contracted with a nationally recognized company to provide disaster-recovery services with respect to our key systems.

During fiscal 2007, we also completed the upgrade of our existing point of sale platform at our North American locations. This upgrade included the replacement of our existing register software, replacement of registers and related hardware and the addition of radio frequency equipment to be utilized in the store receiving and operations areas. We believe this upgrade allows us to process customer transactions more quickly and efficiently, while reducing existing administration. This initiative will also result in advanced flexibility and customer service in the areas of locating inventory and accessing the direct-to-consumer channel within our retail stores. This new platform establishes better long-term technology resources and provides the opportunity and required infrastructure to enable our brands to implement a Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) system during fiscal 2008.

Competition

The specialty retail, direct-to-consumer and the wholesale apparel businesses are each highly competitive. Our retail stores compete on the basis of, among other things, the location of our stores, the breadth, quality, style, and availability of merchandise, the level of customer service offered and merchandise price. Although we feel the eclectic mix of products offered in our retail stores helps differentiate us, it also means that our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People stores compete against a wide variety of smaller, independent specialty stores, as well as department stores and national specialty chains. Many of our competitors have substantially greater name recognition as well as financial, marketing and other resources. Our Anthropologie and Free People stores also face competition from small boutiques that offer an individualized shopping experience similar to the one we strive to provide to our target customers. In addition, some of our suppliers offer products directly to consumers and certain of our competitors.

Along with certain retail segment factors noted above, other key competitive factors for our direct-to-consumer operations include the success or effectiveness of customer mailing lists, response rates, catalog presentation, merchandise delivery and web site design and availability. Our direct-to-consumer operations compete against numerous catalogs and web sites, which may have a greater volume of circulation and web traffic.

Our Free People wholesale business competes with numerous wholesale companies based on the quality, fashion and price of our wholesale product offerings. Many of our wholesale business competitors’ products have a wider distribution network. In addition, certain of our wholesale competitors have greater name recognition and financial and other resources.

Trademarks and Service Marks

We are the registered owner in the United States of certain service marks and trademarks, including “Urban Outfitters”, “Anthropologie”, “Urban Renewal”, “Free People”, “Co-Operative”, “Ecote”, “Hei-Hei”, “Fink”, “Stapleford”, “Character Hero”, “BDG Guaranteed Tough”, “Brand: All-Son”, “Charlie & Robin”, “Darling Blue”, “Deletta”, “Elevenses”, “Ett Twa”, “Hi-Brow”, “Kimchi & Blue”, “Little Yellow Button”, “Maeve”, “Oiseau”, “Ric-Rac”, “Sitwell”, “Sleeping on Snow”, “Sparkle & Fade”, “Sparrow”, “Standard Cloth Washington Street”, “Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday”, “UO”, “Idra” and “Urbn.com.” Each mark is renewable indefinitely, contingent upon continued use at the time of renewal. In addition, we currently have pending registration applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office covering certain other marks. We also own marks that have been registered in foreign countries, and have applications for marks pending in additional foreign countries as well. We regard our marks as important to our business due to their name recognition with our customers. We are not aware of any valid claims of infringement or challenges to our right to use any of our marks in the United States.

Employees

As of January 31, 2007, we employed approximately 8,400 people, approximately 46% of whom are full-time employees. The number of part-time employees fluctuates depending on seasonal needs. Of our total employees, 2% work in the wholesale segment and the remaining 98% work in our retail segment. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that our relations with our employees are excellent.

Financial Information about Operations

We aggregate our operations into two reportable segments, the retail segment and the wholesale segment. See Note 12, “Segment Reporting,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Financial Information about Geographical Areas

See Note 12, “Segment Reporting,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding net sales from domestic and foreign operation and long-lived assets.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. See Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Seasonality and Quarterly Results for additional information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business segments are sensitive to economic conditions, consumer spending, shifts in fashion and industry and demographic conditions.

We are subject to seasonal variations and face numerous business risk factors. Consumer purchases of discretionary retail items and specialty retail products, including our products, may decline during recessionary periods and also may decline at other times when disposable income is lower. A prolonged economic downturn could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. There is a risk that consumer sentiment may decline due to economic and/or geo-political factors, which could negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.

We rely heavily on our ability to identify changes in fashion.

Customer tastes and fashion trends are volatile and can change rapidly. Our success depends in part on our ability to effectively predict and respond to changing fashion tastes and consumer demands, and to translate market trends into appropriate, saleable product offerings. Our inability to effectively determine these changes may lead to higher seasonal inventory levels and a future need to increase markdowns to liquidate our inventory. Compared to our retail segments, our wholesale business is more sensitive to changes in fashion trends because of longer lead times in the manufacture and sale of its apparel. While we do not plan for mistakes in our fashion offering selections, our fashion decisions constitute a material risk and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in expanding our business and opening new retail stores.

Our growth strategy depends on our ability to open and operate new retail stores on a profitable basis. Our operating complexity will increase as our store base grows, and we may face challenges in managing our future growth. Such growth will require that we continue to expand and improve our operating capabilities, and expand, train and manage our employee base. We may be unable to hire and

train a sufficient number of qualified personnel or successfully manage our growth. Our expansion prospects also depend on a number of other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among other things, competition, the availability of financing for capital expenditures and working capital requirements, the availability of suitable sites for new store locations on acceptable lease terms, and the availability of inventory. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our store expansion goals, nor can there be any assurance that our newly opened stores will achieve revenue or profitability levels comparable to those of our existing stores in the time periods estimated by us, or at all. If our stores fail to achieve, or are unable to sustain, acceptable revenue and profitability levels, we may incur significant costs associated with closing those stores.

Existing and increased competition in the specialty retail, direct-to-consumer and wholesale apparel businesses may reduce our net revenues, profits and market share.

The specialty retail, direct-to-consumer and the wholesale apparel businesses are each highly competitive. Our retail stores compete on the basis of, among other things, the location of our stores, the breadth, quality, style, and availability of merchandise, the level of customer service offered and merchandise price. Our Anthropologie and Free People stores also face competition from small boutiques that offer an individualized shopping experience similar to the one we strive to provide to our target customers. In addition, some of our suppliers offer products directly to consumers and certain of our competitors. Our Free People wholesale business competes with numerous wholesale companies based on the quality, fashion and price of our wholesale product offerings, many of whose products have wider distribution than ours. Many of our competitors have substantially greater name recognition as well as financial, marketing and other resources. We cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors. Our expansion into markets served by our competitors and entry of new competitors or expansion of existing competitors into our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on key personnel and may not be able to retain or replace these employees or recruit additional qualified personnel, which would harm our business.

We believe that we have benefited substantially from the leadership and experience of our senior executives, including our Chairman, President and co-founder, Richard A. Hayne, and the President of Anthropologie, Inc., Glen T. Senk. The loss of the services of any of our senior executives could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, as we may not be able to find suitable management personnel to replace departing executives on a timely basis. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Hayne, Mr. Senk or any of our other key personnel. In addition, as our business expands, we believe that our future success will depend greatly on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. There is a high level of competition for personnel in the retail industry. Our inability to meet our staffing requirements in the future, at costs that are favorable to us, or at all, could impair our ability to increase revenue and could otherwise harm our business.

We could be materially and adversely affected if any of our distribution centers are shut down.

We operate three distribution facilities worldwide to support our retail and wholesale business segments in the United States, Western Europe and Canada, and for fulfillment of catalog and web site orders. We have also engaged a third-party to operate an additional distribution facility in Reno, Nevada to service our stores in the western United States and utilize a portion of the Toronto Urban Outfitters store as a wholesale distribution facility in Canada. The merchandise purchased for our retail operation is shipped directly to our distribution centers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and Reno, Nevada while merchandise purchased for our direct-to-consumer and wholesale operations is shipped directly to our distribution center in Edgefield County, South Carolina. If any of our distribution centers were to shut down for any reason the other distribution centers may not be able to support the resulting additional distribution demands. As a result, we could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to our stores during the time it takes for us to reopen or replace the center.

We rely significantly on foreign sources of production.

We receive a substantial portion of our apparel and other merchandise from foreign sources, both purchased directly in foreign markets and indirectly through domestic vendors with foreign sources. To the extent that our vendors are located overseas or rely on overseas sources for a large portion of their products, any event causing a disruption of imports, including the imposition of import restrictions, war and acts of terrorism could adversely affect our business. If imported goods become difficult or impossible to bring into the United States, and if we cannot obtain such merchandise from other sources at similar costs, our sales and profit margins may be adversely affected. The flow of merchandise from our vendors could also be adversely affected by financial or political instability in any of the countries in which the goods we purchase are manufactured, if the instability affects the production or export of merchandise from those countries. Trade restrictions in the form of tariffs or quotas, or both, applicable to the products we sell could also affect the importation of those products and could increase the cost and reduce the supply of products available to us, In addition, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could increase the cost of products we purchase from overseas vendors.

Our operating results fluctuate from period to period.

Our business experiences seasonal fluctuations in net sales and operating income, with a significant portion of operating income typically realized during the five-month period from August 1 to December 31 of each year (the back-to-school and holiday periods). Any decrease in sales or margins during this period, or in the availability of working capital needed in the months preceding this period, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Seasonal fluctuations also affect our inventory levels, as we usually order merchandise in advance of peak selling periods and sometimes before new fashion trends are confirmed by customer purchases. We must carry a significant amount of inventory, especially before the back-to-school and holiday selling periods. If we are not successful in selling our inventory during this period, we may be forced to rely on markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of the inventory or we may not be able to sell the inventory at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights.

We believe that our trademarks and service marks are important to our success and our competitive position due to their name recognition with our customers. We devote substantial resources to the establishment and protection of our trademarks and service marks on a worldwide basis. In order to more effectively protect them from infringement and to defend against claims of infringement, the marks are owned by separate subsidiaries whose purpose is to maintain and manage existing and future marks, thereby increasing their value to the company. We are not aware of any valid claims of infringement or challenges to our right to use any of our trademarks and service marks in the United States. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the actions we have taken to establish and protect our trademarks and service marks will be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as a violation of the trademarks, service marks and proprietary rights of others. Also, others may assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours and we may not be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

War, acts of terrorism, or the threat of either may negatively impact availability of merchandise and otherwise adversely impact our business.

In the event of war or acts of terrorism, or if either are threatened, our ability to obtain merchandise available for sale in our stores may be negatively impacted. A substantial portion of our merchandise is imported from other countries, see “We rely significantly on foreign sources of production” on page 8. If commercial transportation is curtailed or substantially delayed, our business may be adversely impacted, as we may have difficulty shipping merchandise to our distribution centers and stores, as well as fulfilling catalog and web site orders. In the event of war or additional acts of terrorism, or the threat of either, we may be required to suspend operations in some or all of our stores, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be successful in introducing additional store concepts.

We may, from time to time, seek to develop and introduce new concepts or brands in addition to our existing Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People brands. Our ability to succeed in these new concepts could require significant capital expenditures and management attention. Additionally, any new concept is subject to certain risks, including customer acceptance, competition, product differentiation, challenges relating to economies of scale in merchandise sourcing and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including management and designers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and grow these or any other new concepts to a point where they will become profitable, or generate positive cash flow. If we cannot successfully develop and grow these new concepts, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

We have no outstanding comments with the staff of the SEC.

Item 2. Properties

In August 2006, we moved and consolidated our home office into several buildings on one campus in the historic core of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Navy Yard. This acquisition allows for a more efficient operation of our Philadelphia-based offices and will support our growth needs for at least the next ten years. The property located at 5000 South Broad Street in Philadelphia is approximately five miles from our previous Philadelphia-based home offices. We currently occupy approximately 282,000 square feet at the Navy Yard. Options on several adjacent buildings are also available for at least the next ten years to allow for additional expansion if necessary. We spent approximately $104.3 million on improvements made to our offices at the Navy Yard as of January 31, 2007. The expenditures to improve our Navy Yard facilities were capitalized and are being depreciated based on the useful life of the improvements and fixtures.

Our customer contact center is located in Edgefield County, South Carolina as part of our 459,000 square foot distribution center, and occupies approximately 16,000 square feet. Our office in Europe is located at 24 Market Place in London and occupies approximately 6,900 square feet of space. Our home offices and customer contact facilities are leased properties with varying lease term expirations through 2016. We own a 191,000 square foot distribution center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We also utilize a distribution facility in Reno, Nevada operated by a third-party. For more information on our distribution center properties, see Item 1: Business—Company Operations—Distribution. We believe that our facilities are well maintained and in good operating condition. In fiscal 2008, we anticipate securing our own distribution center on the west coast of the United States to support our western stores. We expect the facility will be financed through an operating lease, however, we expect to spend $3 to $5 million on equipment and other improvements.

All of our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People stores are leased and are well maintained and in good operating condition. Our retail stores are typically leased for a term of ten years with renewal options for an additional five to ten years. Total estimated selling square feet for stores open, under lease at January 31, 2007, by Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People was approximately 1,015,000, 708,000 and 13,000, respectively. The average store selling square feet is approximately 9,700 for Urban Outfitters, 7,600 for Anthropologie and 1,600 for Free People. Selling square feet can sometimes change due to floor moves, use of staircases, cash register configuration and other factors. The following table shows the location of each of our existing retail stores, as of January 31, 2007:

Urban Outfitters Stores

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal proceedings arising from normal business activities. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We operate two business segments, a lifestyle merchandising retailing segment and a wholesale apparel segment. Our retailing segment consists of our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People brands, whose merchandise is sold directly to our customers through our stores, catalogs, call centers and web sites. Our wholesale apparel segment consists of our Free People Wholesale division that designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel.

A store is included in comparable store net sales data, as presented in this discussion, if it has been open at least one full fiscal year prior to fiscal 2007, unless it was materially expanded or remodeled within that year or was not otherwise operating at its full capacity within that year. Sales from stores that do not fall within the definition of a comparable store are considered non-comparable. Furthermore, non-store sales, such as catalog and internet sales, are also considered non-comparable.

Although we have no precise empirical data as it relates to customer traffic or customer conversion rates in our stores, we believe that, based only on our observations, changes in transaction volume, as discussed in our results of operations, correlate to changes in customer traffic. We believe this may be caused by a combination of response to our brands’ fashion offerings, our web advertising, additional circulation of our catalogs and an overall growth in brand recognition as we expand our store base, including expansion into enclosed malls and specialty retail centers.

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. All references in this discussion to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, our fiscal 2007 ended on January 31, 2007. The comparable store net sales data presented in this discussion is calculated based on the net sales of all stores open at least 12 full months at the beginning of the period for which such data is presented.

Our goal is to increase net sales by at least 20% per year through a combination of opening new stores, growing comparable store sales and continuing the growth of our direct-to-consumer and wholesale operations.

Retail Stores

As of January 31, 2007, we operated 106 Urban Outfitters stores of which 94 are located in the United States, three are located in Canada and nine are located in Europe. During fiscal 2007, we opened 16 new Urban Outfitters stores, 14 of which are located within the United States and two of which are located in Europe. Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 30 through a unique merchandise mix and compelling store environment. Our product offering includes women’s and men’s fashion apparel, footwear and accessories, as well as an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years, some of which may be outside the United States. Urban’s North American and European store sales accounted for approximately 38.9% and 5.8% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2007.

We operated 93 Anthropologie stores as of January 31, 2007, all of which are located in the United States. During fiscal 2007 we opened 14 new Anthropologie stores. Anthropologie tailors its merchandise to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 30 to 45. Our product assortment

includes women’s casual apparel and accessories, home furnishings and a diverse array of gifts and decorative items. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years. Anthropologie’s store sales accounted for approximately 35.9% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

We operated eight Free People stores as of January 31, 2007, all of which are located in the United States. During fiscal 2007 we opened two new Free People stores. Free People primarily offers private label branded merchandise targeted to young contemporary women aged 25 to 30. Free People provides a unique merchandise mix of casual women’s apparel, accessories and gifts. We plan to open additional stores over the next several fiscal years. Free People’s retail sales accounted for less than 1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

For all brands combined, we plan to open at least 38 stores during fiscal 2008, including six to ten new Free People stores. The remaining new stores will be divided approximately evenly between Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. We plan to grow our store base by approximately 20% per year.

Direct-to-consumer

In March 1998, Anthropologie introduced a direct-to-consumer catalog offering selected merchandise, most of which is also available in our Anthropologie stores. During fiscal 2007, we circulated approximately 21.8 million catalogs and believe that this catalog has been instrumental in helping to build the Anthropologie brand identity with our target customers. We plan to modestly expand circulation to approximately 21.9 million catalogs during fiscal 2008 and intend to increase the level of catalog circulation over the next few years.

In March 2003, Urban Outfitters introduced a direct-to-consumer catalog offering selected merchandise, much of which is also available in our Urban Outfitters stores. During fiscal 2007, we circulated approximately 11.4 million Urban Outfitters catalogs. We believe this catalog has expanded our distribution channels and increased brand awareness. We plan to expand circulation to approximately 12.0 million in fiscal 2008 and intend to increase the level of catalog circulation over the next few years.

center located in the United Kingdom. We believe the web site increases the reputation and recognition of the brand with our European customers as well as helps to support our Urban Outfitters European store operations.

We successfully launched the Free People web site, www.freepeople.com, in September 2004. The web site offers consumers the entire Free People product assortment found at Free People retail stores as well as all of the Free People wholesale offerings. In October 2005, Free People introduced a direct-to-consumer catalog offering selected merchandise much of which is also available in our Free People stores. In fiscal 2007, we circulated approximately 3.3 million Free People catalogs which expanded our distribution channels and increased brand awareness. We plan to expand circulation to approximately 4.3 million catalogs in fiscal 2008 and intend to increase the level of catalog circulation over the next few years.

Direct-to-consumer sales were approximately 12.6% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

Wholesale

The Free People wholesale division designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel. Free People’s range of tops, bottoms, sweaters and dresses are sold worldwide through approximately 1,500 better department and specialty stores, including Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Parisian, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters and our own Free People stores. Free People wholesale sales accounted for approximately 6.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period.

Our senior management has reviewed the critical accounting policies and estimates with our audit committee. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations 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. 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.

Revenue Recognition

direct-to-consumer business is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card charges. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for our wholesale business accounts receivable which management reviews on a regular basis and believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses and billing adjustments. Deposits for custom orders are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon delivery of the merchandise to the customer. These custom orders, typically for upholstered furniture, have not been material. Gift card sales to customers are initially recorded as liabilities and recognized as sales upon redemption.

Sales Return Reserve

We record a reserve for estimated product returns where the sale has occurred during the period reported, but the return is likely to occur subsequent to the period reported and may otherwise be considered in-transit. The reserve for estimated in-transit product returns is based on our most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially different than our estimate, the reserve will be adjusted in the future. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, reserves for estimated sales returns in-transit totaled $8.9 million and $6.4 million, representing 4.0% and 3.1% of total liabilities, respectively.

Inventories

We value our inventories, which consist primarily of general consumer merchandise held for sale, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of merchandise and freight. A periodic review of inventory quantities on hand is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or market. Factors related to current inventories, such as future consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale discounts, and class or type of inventory, are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable values. Criteria we use to quantify aging trends includes factors such as average selling cycle and seasonality of merchandise, the historical rate at which merchandise has sold below cost during the average selling cycle, and inventory currently priced below its original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value, if required. Net inventories as of January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006 totaled $154.4 million and $140.4 million, representing 17.2% and 18.2% of total assets, respectively. Any significant unanticipated changes in the risk factors noted within this report could have a significant impact on the value of our inventories and our reported operating results.

Adjustments to reserves related to the net realizable value of our inventories are primarily based on the market value of our physical inventory at January 31, 2007 and recent historical trends. Our estimates generally have been accurate and our reserve methods have been applied on a consistent basis. We expect the amount of our reserves to increase over time as we expand our store base and accordingly, related inventories.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets consist principally of store leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and buildings, and are included in the “Property and equipment, net” line item in our consolidated balance sheets included in this report. Store leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the applicable store lease term, including

lease renewals which are reasonably assured, or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements. The typical initial lease term for our stores is ten years. Buildings are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over 39 years. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful life, which is typically five years. Net property and equipment as of January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006 totaled $445.7 million and $299.3 million, respectively, representing 49.6% and 38.9% of total assets, respectively.

In assessing potential impairment of our store related assets, we periodically evaluate historical and forecasted operating results and cash flows on a store-by-store basis. Newly opened stores may take time to generate positive operating and cash flow results. Factors such as store type (e.g., mall versus free-standing), store location (e.g., urban area versus college campus or suburb), current marketplace awareness of our brands, local customer demographic data and current fashion trends are all considered in determining the time frame required for a store to achieve positive financial results, which, in general, is assumed to be measurable within three years from the date a store location has opened. If economic conditions are substantially different from our expectations, the carrying value of certain of our long-lived assets may become impaired. For fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, write-downs of long-lived assets were not material.

We have only closed three store locations in our history, which in all cases, were eventually re-located, and took place at the expiration of the lease and renewal terms. We have not historically encountered material early retirement charges related to our long-lived assets. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in net income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense as incurred. Major renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of our assets are capitalized over the extension period or life of the improvement, whichever is less. We did not close any store locations in fiscal 2007.

As of the date of this report, all of our stores opened in excess of three years are expected to generate positive annual cash flow before allocation of corporate overhead.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax obligations together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of inventories. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. Actual results could differ from this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. Deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006 totaled $28.5 million and $23.9 million, respectively, representing 3.2% and 3.1% of total assets, respectively. To the extent we believe that recovery of an asset is at risk, we establish valuation allowances. To the extent we establish valuation allowances or increase the allowances in a period, we include an expense within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of income.

We reduced valuation allowances to $0.2 million as of January 31, 2007 from $3.1 million as of January 31, 2006. This reduction occurred based on evidence of our ability to generate sufficient future

taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions. Existing valuation allowances are due to remaining uncertainties related to our ability to utilize other net operating loss carryforwards of certain foreign subsidiaries. In the future, if enough evidence of our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in these foreign jurisdictions becomes apparent, we would be required to reduce our valuation allowances, resulting in a reduction in income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates the likelihood that we will realize the deferred tax assets and adjusts the valuation allowances, if appropriate.

Accounting for Contingencies

From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. We account for contingencies such as these in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” SFAS No. 5 requires us to record an estimated loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our consolidated financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual or legal proceedings requires management to use its best judgment when estimating an accrual related to such contingencies. As additional information becomes known, our accrual for a loss contingency could fluctuate, thereby creating variability in our results of operations from period to period. Likewise, an actual loss arising from a loss contingency which significantly exceeds the amount accrued in our consolidated financial statements could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known.

Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006

Net sales in fiscal 2007 increased by 12.1% to $1.22 billion, from $1.09 billion in the prior fiscal year. The $133 million increase was primarily attributable to a $112 million or 10.7% increase, in retail segment sales. Free People wholesale sales contributed $21 million or 15.8%, excluding sales to our retail segment, to the increase. The growth in our retail segment sales during fiscal 2007 was driven by a $139 million increase in non-comparable and new store net sales and an increase in direct-to-consumer sales of $23 million or 17.7% that more than offset a $50 million or 6.2% decline in comparable store sales. The decrease in comparable store net sales was comprised of 5.0% and 7.2% declines at Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters, respectively. Free People comparable store sales increased 11.5% for fiscal year 2007.

The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores was primarily the result of opening 32 new stores in fiscal 2007 and 33 new stores in fiscal 2006 that were considered non-comparable during fiscal 2007. Comparable store net sales decreases were primarily the result of a decrease in transactions, and a slight decrease in the average unit sales prices resulting from a lower response to the Company’s merchandise offerings as it adjusted to a significant shift in fashion trends. These decreases more than offset a modest increase in the number of units sold per transaction. Thus far during fiscal 2008, total Company comparable store sales are positive. Direct-to-consumer net

sales increased over the prior year primarily due to improved customer response related to the circulation of approximately 5 million additional catalogs, increased traffic to our web sites and improvements in the average order value at all brands. The increase in Free People wholesale sales was driven by a favorable customer response to our fashion offerings.

Gross profit rates in fiscal 2007 decreased to 36.9% of net sales or $452 million from 41.1% of net sales or $449 million in fiscal 2006. These reductions were primarily due to additional markdowns and price adjustments to clear seasonal inventory, a higher rate of fixed store occupancy expense due to comparable store sales decreases and increases to inventory related valuation reserves. Total inventories at January 31, 2007 increased by 10.0% to $154 million from $140 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase primarily related to the acquisition of inventory to stock new retail stores. On a comparable store basis, inventories decreased by 2.9% versus the prior fiscal year. We anticipate making similar inventory investments in connection with new store openings in fiscal 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2007 increased to 23.5% of net sales versus 22.1% of net sales for fiscal 2006. This unfavorable increase was primarily attributable to the de-leveraging of store-level expenses as a result of the decreases in comparable store sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2007 increased to $288 million from $241 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase primarily related to the operating expenses of new and non-comparable stores.

Income from operations decreased to 13.4% of net sales or $164 million for fiscal 2007 compared to 19.0% of net sales or $208 million for fiscal 2006.

Our annual effective income tax rate improved to 31.7% of income for fiscal 2007 compared to 38.4% of income for fiscal 2006. This decrease is based upon a number of factors including: certification for work performed on the development of our new offices that qualifies for certain one-time federal tax incentives; the execution of certain related reorganization efforts and the relief of certain valuation allowances related to net operating loss carry-forwards of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. We believe we will receive an additional one-time benefit in fiscal 2008 from our office relocation work and on-going benefits in fiscal 2008 and future years from our tax planning efforts. See Note 7 “Income Taxes” in our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, for a reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate.

Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005

Net sales in fiscal 2006 increased by 31.9% to $1.09 billion, from $828 million in the prior fiscal year. The $264 million increase was primarily attributable to a $239 million or 29.8% increase, in retail segment sales. Free People wholesale sales contributed $26 million or 9.8%, excluding sales to our retail segment, to the increase. The growth in our retail segment sales during fiscal 2006 was driven by a $134 million increase in non-comparable and new store net sales, a $68 million or 10.9% increase in comparable store sales and an increase in direct-to-consumer sales of $37 million or 39.0%. The increase in comparable store net sales was comprised of a 6.4%, 28.0% and 14.9% increase for Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters, respectively.

The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores was primarily the result of opening 33 new stores in fiscal 2006 and 28 new stores in fiscal 2005 that were considered

non-comparable during fiscal 2006. Comparable store net sales increases were primarily the result of an increase in the average sales prices resulting from higher initial margins which more than offset a heavy increase in markdowns during the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Comparable store transactions improved modestly while units per transaction were down slightly. Direct-to-consumer net sales increased over the prior year primarily due to additional customer response related to the circulation of approximately 5.4 million additional catalogs, increased traffic to the web sites and improvements in the average order value at all brands. The increase in Free People wholesale sales was driven by an increase in customer response to our fashion offerings.

Gross profit in fiscal 2006 increased to 41.1% of net sales or $449 million from 40.9% of net sales or $339 million in fiscal 2005. The increase was primarily due to the leveraging of store related occupancy costs, driven by the increase in comparable store sales which more than offset the increase in markdowns. Total inventories at January 31, 2006 increased by 41.8% to $140 million from $99 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase primarily related to the acquisition of inventory to stock new retail stores. On a comparable store basis, inventories increased by 13.1% versus the prior fiscal year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2006 decreased to 22.1% of net sales versus 23.0% of net sales for fiscal 2005. This improvement was primarily attributable to the leveraging of store-level expenses as a result of the increases in the comparable store sales and leveraging of fixed expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2006 increased to $241 million from $190 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase primarily related to the operating expenses of new and non-comparable stores.

Accordingly, income from operations increased to 19.0% of net sales or $208 million for fiscal 2006 compared to 17.9% of net sales or $148 million for fiscal 2005.

Our effective income tax rate decreased to 38.4% of income for fiscal 2006 compared to 39.8% of income for fiscal 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to a lower effective state income tax rate due to a change in the weight of sales, property and income apportioned to lower tax jurisdictions. See Note 7 “Income Taxes” in our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, for a reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $222 million as of January 31, 2007 as compared to $257 million as of January 31, 2006 and $219 million as of January 31, 2005. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during fiscal 2007 occurred primarily as a result of investments in store related property and equipment and the completion of our new offices at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Navy Yard expenditures approximated $82 million during fiscal 2007. We also repurchased approximately $21 million of our common shares during the year. Cash used in these investing and financing activities offset $187 million of cash provided by operations. During fiscal years 2006 and 2005, cash increases were primarily a result of cash provided by operating activities. Our working capital for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $231 million, $252 million and $190 million, respectively. The changes in working capital primarily relate to the volume of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and inventories relative to inventory-related payables and store-related accruals.

During the last three years, we have mainly satisfied our cash requirements through our cash flow from operations. Our primary uses of cash have been to open new stores and purchase inventories. We have also continued to invest in our direct-to-consumer efforts and in our European subsidiaries. Cash paid for property and equipment, net of tenant improvement allowances included in deferred rent for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $193 million, $111 million and $60 million respectively, and were primarily used to expand and support our store base. During fiscal 2008, we plan to construct and open at least 38 new stores, renovate certain existing stores, increase our catalog circulation by approximately 2 million to approximately 38 million catalogs, and purchase inventory for our stores and direct-to-consumer business at levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales growth. We plan to reduce the level of capital expenditures during fiscal 2008 to approximately $100 million. We believe that our new store, catalog and inventory investments have the ability to generate positive cash flow within a year. Improvements to our home office and distribution facilities were necessary to adequately support our growth. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006 we spent approximately $82 million and $22 million, respectively, on improvements made to our offices at the Navy Yard. Total expenditures for the project as of January 31, 2007, were approximately $104 million at which time the project was complete.

We anticipate opening a distribution center in fiscal 2008 on the west coast of the United States to support our western stores. We expect the facility will be financed through an operating lease and that we will spend $3 to $5 million on equipment and other improvements.

On February 28, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The program authorizes us to repurchase up to 8,000,000 common shares from time-to-time, based upon prevailing market conditions. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, we repurchased and subsequently retired 1,220,000 shares at a cost of approximately $21 million.

We anticipate making investments to begin testing a new retail concept during fiscal 2008. We are still in the stages of developing the format and market objectives of the concept and have yet to determine or quantify the extent of such an investment. Expenditures may include the costs of strategic research and development, hiring personnel to develop and execute a store format, obtaining leases and related store inventory, property and equipment, acquiring assets or existing businesses, intellectual property and trade secrets or intangible knowledge and any other costs related to developing and executing this new concept.

Accumulated cash and future cash from operations, as well as available credit under our line of credit facility, are expected to fund our commitments and all such expansion-related cash needs at least through fiscal 2010.

our line to increase our capital expenditure limit and add additional subsidiaries that are permitted to borrow. As of January 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Line. As of and during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, there were no borrowings under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $32 million as of January 31, 2007. The available credit, including the accordion feature, under the Line was $18 million as of January 31, 2007. We plan to renew the Line during fiscal 2008 and expect the renewal will include the expansion of the available credit limit under the Line to an amount that will satisfy our letter of credit needs through fiscal 2010.

We have entered into agreements that create contractual obligations and commercial commitments. These obligations and commitments will have an impact on future liquidity and the availability of capital resources. Accumulated cash and future cash from operations, as well as available credit under our line of credit facility, are expected to fund such obligations and commitments. The tables noted below present a summary of these obligations and commitments as of January 31, 2007:

Contractual Obligations


			Payments Due by Period (in thousands)
Description	Total Obligations		Less Than One Year		One to Three Years		Four to Five Years		More Than Five Years
Operating leases (1)	$	719,785	$	92,280	$	184,606	$	152,197	$	290,702

(1)

Includes store operating leases, which generally provide for payment of direct operating costs in addition to rent. The obligation amounts shown above only reflect our future minimum lease payments as the direct operating costs fluctuate over the term of the lease. Additionally, there are five locations where a percentage of sales are paid in lieu of a fixed minimum rent that are not reflected in the above table. Total rent expense related to these five locations was approximately $861,000 for fiscal 2007. The leases pertaining to two of our Urban Outfitters stores in London at Covent Gardens and Oxford Street only specify our rent obligation for a five year period. The minimum rent obligation is then subject to review every five years. Included in the table above is an estimate of our rent obligation on these properties for the first five years. Amounts noted above include commitments for 27 executed leases for stores not opened as of January 31, 2007.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of and for the three years ended January 31, 2007, except for operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, we were not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Other Matters

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 could have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 could have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff published Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 addresses quantifying the financial statement effects of misstatements, specifically, how the effects of prior year uncorrected errors must be considered in quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. This statement is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) ratified its consensus on Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be

Presented in the Income Statement”. EITF 06-3 addresses what type of government assessments should be included within the scope of EITF 06-3, and how such government assessments should be presented in the income statement. The EITF concluded that the scope of EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added and some excise taxes. In addition the EITF also concluded that the presentation of taxes, within the scope of EITF 06-3, on either a gross or net basis, is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 22, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The EITF observed that because EITF 06-3 requires only the presentation of additional disclosures, an entity would not be required to re-evaluate its existing policies related to taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. EITF 06-3 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt the disclosure requirements of EITF 06-3 effective February 1, 2007, however, since we present revenue on a net basis, no further disclosure under EITF 06-3 will be required.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is expected to result in adjustments to our tax contingency reserves and deferred income taxes which could be material, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. We have not completed our evaluation of FIN 48 nor measured its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to the following types of market risks—fluctuations in the purchase price of merchandise, as well as other goods and services; the value of foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar; and changes in interest rates. Due to the Company’s inventory turnover rate and its historical ability to pass through the impact of any generalized changes in its cost of goods to its customers through pricing adjustments, commodity and other product risks are not expected to be material. The Company purchases substantially all of its merchandise in U.S. dollars, including a portion of the goods for its stores located in Canada and Europe.

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities consisted primarily of funds invested in tax-exempt municipal bonds rated AA or better, auction rate securities rated AA or better and money market accounts, which bear interest at a variable rate. Due to the average maturity and conservative nature of the Company’s investment portfolio, we believe a 100 basis point change in interest rates would not

have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. As the interest rates on a material portion of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are variable, a change in interest rates earned on the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities would impact interest income along with cash flows, but would not impact the fair market value of the related underlying instruments.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this review, the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2007.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 31, 2007.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2007 was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report that is included on page 34 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Urban Outfitters, Inc.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting, that Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the

criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of January 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and our report dated March 30, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 30, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Nature of Business

Urban Outfitters, Inc. (the “Company” or “Urban Outfitters”), which was founded in 1970 and originally operated by a predecessor partnership, was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1976. The principal business activity of the Company is the operation of a general consumer product retail business through retail stores, three catalogs and four web sites. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company operated 207 and 175 stores, respectively. Stores located in the United States totaled 195 as of January 31, 2007 and 165 as of January 31, 2006, while operations in Europe and Canada included nine stores and three stores as of January 31, 2007, respectively and seven stores and three stores as of January 31, 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company engages in the wholesale distribution of apparel to approximately 1,500 better specialty retailers worldwide.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year-End

The Company operates on a fiscal year ending January 31 of each year. All references to fiscal years of the Company refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, the Company’s fiscal 2007 ended on January 31, 2007.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock Split

On August 17, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one split of the Company’s common shares in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The additional shares issued as a result of the stock split were distributed on September 23, 2005 to shareholders of record as of September 6, 2005. All relevant amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been restated to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand, cash in banks and money market accounts.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities may be classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities represent those securities that the Company has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income. Available-for-sale securities represent debt securities that do not meet the classification of held-to-maturity, are not actively traded and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. When available-for-sale securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine the realized gain or loss. Securities classified as current have maturity dates of less than one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as long-term have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Marketable securities as of January 31, 2007 and 2006 were classified as available-for-sale.

The Company also includes disclosure about its investments that are in an unrealized loss position for which other-than-temporary impairments have not been recognized in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Applications to Certain Investments”.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from our wholesale customers as well as credit card receivables. The activity of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:


	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2007	$	445	$	2,192	$	(1,788	)	$	849
Year ended January 31, 2006	$	586	$	1,156	$	(1,297	)	$	445
Year ended January 31, 2005	$	651	$	922	$	(987	)	$	586

Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of general consumer merchandise held for sale, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of merchandise and import related costs, including freight, import taxes and agent commissions. A periodic review of inventory quantities on hand is performed in order to determine if inventory is

F-9

URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

properly stated at the lower of cost or market. Factors related to current inventories such as future consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale discounts, and class or type of inventory are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable value. Criteria utilized by the Company to quantify aging trends includes factors such as average selling cycle and seasonality of merchandise, the historical rate at which merchandise has sold below cost during the average selling cycle, and merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if required. The majority of inventory at January 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of finished goods. Unfinished goods and work-in-process were not material to the overall net inventory value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and primarily consist of store related leasehold improvements, buildings and furniture and fixtures. Depreciation and amortization are typically computed using the straight-line method over five years for furniture and fixtures, the lesser of the lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements, three to ten years for other operating equipment and 39 years for buildings. Major renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of our assets are capitalized over the extension period or life of the improvement, whichever is less.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This determination includes evaluation of factors such as future asset utilization and future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. Management believes there has been no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets as of January 31, 2007.

Deferred Rent

Rent expense on leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The excess of rent expense over the actual cash paid is recorded as deferred rent. In addition, certain store leases provide for contingent rentals when sales exceed specified break-point levels that are weighted based upon historical cyclicality. For leases where achievement of these levels is considered probable based on cumulative lease year revenue versus the established breakpoint at any given point in time, contingent rent is accrued. This may be expensed concurrently with minimum rent which is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

Operating Leases

The Company leases its retail stores under operating leases. Many of the lease agreements contain rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions or some combination of these items. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the accounting lease term.

The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period commencing on the date that the premises is turned over from the landlord. The lease period includes the construction period to make the leased space suitable for operating during which time the Company is not permitted

F-10

URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

to occupy the space. For purposes of calculating straight-line rent expense, the commencement date of the lease term reflects the date the Company takes possession of the building for initial construction and setup.

The Company classifies tenant improvement allowances on its consolidated financial statements within deferred rent that will be amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the straight-line period. Tenant improvement allowance activity is presented as part of cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the point-of-sale for retail store sales or when merchandise is shipped to customers for wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales, net of estimated customer returns. Payment for merchandise at the Company’s stores and direct-to-consumer business is by cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card. Therefore, the Company’s need to collect outstanding accounts receivable for its retail and direct-to-consumer business is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card charges. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for its wholesale business accounts receivable which management reviews on a monthly basis and believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses and billing adjustments. Deposits for custom orders are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon delivery of the merchandise to the customer. These custom orders, typically for upholstered furniture, have not been material. Gift card sales to customers are initially recorded as liabilities and recognized as sales upon redemption.

Sales Return Reserve

We record a reserve for estimated product returns where the sale has occurred during the period reported, but the return is likely to occur subsequent to the period reported and may otherwise be considered in-transit. The reserve for estimated in-transit product returns is based on our most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially higher than our estimate, additional sales returns would be recorded in the future. The activity of the sales returns reserve for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:


	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2007	$	6,390	$	29,376	$	(26,850	)	$	8,916
Year ended January 31, 2006	$	4,527	$	21,959	$	(20,096	)	$	6,390
Year ended January 31, 2005	$	2,312	$	14,898	$	(12,683	)	$	4,527

Cost of Sales, Including Certain Buying, Distribution and Occupancy Costs

Cost of sales, including certain buying, distribution and occupancy costs includes the following: the cost of merchandise; merchandise markdowns; obsolescence and shrink; store occupancy costs including rent and depreciation; customer shipping expense for direct-to-consumer orders; in-bound

F-11

URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

and outbound freight; U.S. Customs related taxes and duties; inventory acquisition and purchasing costs; warehousing and handling costs and other inventory acquisition related costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses such as (i) direct selling and selling supervisory expenses; (ii) various corporate expenses such as information systems, finance, loss prevention, human resources, and executive management expenses; and (iii) other associated general expenses.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

The Company includes shipping and handling revenues in net sales and shipping and handling costs in cost of sales. The Company’s shipping and handling revenues consist of amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling merchandise. Shipping and handling costs include shipping supplies, related labor costs and third-party shipping costs.

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs of advertising when the advertising occurs, except for direct-to-consumer advertising, which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefit. Advertising costs primarily relate to our direct-to-consumer marketing which are composed of catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs related to production of photographic images used in our catalogs and on our web sites. These costs are amortized over the period in which the customer responds to the marketing material and is determined based on historical response trends to a similar season’s advertisement. Amortization rates are reviewed on a regular basis during the fiscal year and may be adjusted if the predicted customer response appears materially different than the historical response rate. The Company has the ability to measure the response rate to direct marketing early in the course of the advertisement based on its customers’ reference to a specific catalog or by product placed and sold. The average amortization period for a catalog or web promotion is typically three months. If there is no expected future benefit, the cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising costs reported as prepaid expenses were $2,155 and $2,747 as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Advertising expenses were $35,882, $30,033 and $22,455 for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses as incurred all start-up and organization costs, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs.

F-12

URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Web Site Development Costs

The Company capitalizes applicable costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage and expenses costs incurred during the planning and operating stage. During fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not capitalize any internal-use software development costs because substantially all costs were incurred during the planning stage, and costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage were not material.

Income Taxes

The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which principally utilizes a balance sheet approach to provide for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return (see Note 7).

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to the potential dilution from the exercise of securities, such as stock options and non-vested shares, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised (see Note 9).

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, (“SFAS No. 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and non-vested shares, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values at date of grant. Under SFAS No. 123R, companies are required to measure the cost of services received in exchange for stock options and similar awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize this cost in the income statement over the period during which an award recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition.

Effective February 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and as such, results for prior periods have not been restated. Under this transition method, the measurement and the method of amortization of costs for share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 31, 2006, are based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same amortization method that was previously used in the SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure. The Company has used the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black Scholes”) model to determine

F-13

URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

the grant date fair value of its share-based awards and FASB Interpretation No. 28 (“FIN 28”) to amortize its stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term and has continued using these two methods under SFAS No. 123R. Compensation expense is recognized based on grant date fair value only for share-based payments expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company utilized the intrinsic-value based method of accounting under APB No. 25, and related interpretations, and adopted the pro forma disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” The effect of forfeitures on the pro forma expense amounts were recognized based on actual historical forfeitures. No compensation expense was historically recognized for the Company’s stock option plans because the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant was not in excess of the amount an employee must pay to acquire the common shares (see Note 8).

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is comprised of two subsets—net income and other comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income relate to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities. The foreign currency translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes because these adjustments relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, accumulated other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments of $4,667, $1,053 and $2,962, respectively and unrealized losses on marketable securities, net of tax of $383, $525 and $490, respectively. In addition, reclassification adjustments for realized losses of $8 for fiscal 2007, and realized gains of $32 and $123 for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, are included in net income.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates while income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income, but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in operating results and were not material in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Management believes that the carrying value of these assets and liabilities are representative of their respective fair values.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company manages the credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities by investing

F-14

URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

with high-quality institutions and, by policy, limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. Receivables from third-party credit cards are processed by financial institutions, which are monitored for financial stability. The Company periodically evaluates the financial condition of its wholesale segment customers. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects current market conditions and management’s assessment regarding the likelihood of collecting its accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of such limits. Management believes that it is not exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the Company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 could have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 could have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the EITF ratified its consensus on Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement”. EITF 06-3 addresses what type of government assessments should be included within the scope of EITF 06-3, and how such government assessments should be presented in the income statement. The EITF concluded that the scope of EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added and some excise taxes. In addition the EITF also

concluded that the presentation of taxes, within the scope of EITF 06-3, on either a gross or net basis, is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company

F-15

URBAN OUTFITTERS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The EITF observed that because EITF 06-3 requires only the presentation of additional disclosures, an entity would not be required to re-evaluate its existing policies related to taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. EITF 06-3 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt the disclosure requirements of EITF 06-3 effective February 1, 2007; however, since the Company presents its revenue on a net basis, no further disclosure under EITF 06-3 will be required.

3. Marketable Securities

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains (losses) and fair value of available-for-sale securities by major security type and class of security as of January 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Proceeds from the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $193,274, $396,304 and $530,301 in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company included in other income, gross realized losses of $8 in fiscal 2007, and gross realized gains in fiscal 2006 and 2005 of $32 and $123 respectively.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006, respectively.

The unrealized losses presented above are primarily due to changes in market interest rates. At January 31, 2007 and 2006, there were a total of 53 and 50 issued securities, respectively, with an unrealized loss position within the Company’s portfolio. The Company has the intent and the ability to hold these securities for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the initial cost of the investment. The Company has the ability to realize the full value of all of these investments upon maturity.

6. Line of Credit Facility

On September 30, 2004, we renewed and amended our line of credit facility (the “Line”). The Line is a three-year revolving credit facility with an accordion feature allowing an increase in available credit to $50,000 at our discretion, subject to a seven day request period. As of January 31, 2007, the credit limit under the Line is $42,500. The Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by our European subsidiaries that are guaranteed by us. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.60% based on our achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects us to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios and covenants such as fixed charge coverage and adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on our capital expenditures, ability to repurchase shares and the payment of cash dividends. On November 30, 2006 we amended our line to increase our capital expenditure limit and add additional subsidiaries that are permitted to borrow. As of January 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Line. As of and during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, there were no borrowings under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $32,341 as of January 31, 2007. The available borrowing, including the accordion feature, under the Line was $17,659 as of January 31, 2007. We plan to renew the Line during fiscal 2008 and expect the renewal will include the expansion of the available credit limit under the Line to an amount that will satisfy our letter of credit needs through fiscal 2010.

Net deferred tax assets are attributed to the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, $17,335 and $16,696 were attributable to U.S. federal, $8,204 and $6,778 were attributed to state jurisdictions and $2,945 and $376 were attributed to foreign jurisdictions.

At January 31, 2006, The Company had a full valuation allowance for certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards where it was uncertain the carryforwards would be utilized. In fiscal 2007, the Company determined that it was more likely than not, that these carryforwards would be utilized; therefore, valuation allowances were reversed. The Company had no valuation allowance for certain other foreign net operating loss carryforwards where management believes it is more likely than not the tax benefit of these carryforwards will be realized. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, the non-current portion of net deferred tax assets aggregated $23,901 and $19,156, respectively.

The cumulative amount of the Company’s share of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes have been provided was $17,007 as of January 31, 2007. These earnings are deemed to be permanently re-invested to finance growth programs.

As of January 31, 2007, the Company has tax contingency reserves of approximately $5,945 included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The Company recorded interest, net of any applicable related tax benefit, on potential tax contingencies as a component of its tax expense.

8. Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and 2000 Stock Incentive Plan both authorize up to 10,000,000 common shares, which can be granted as restricted shares, incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Grants under these plans generally expire ten years from the date of grant, thirty days after termination, or six months after the date of death or termination due to disability. Stock options generally vest over a period of three or five years, with options becoming exercisable in equal installments over the vesting period. However, options granted to non-employee directors generally vest over a period of one year and certain grants issued during fiscal 2006 and 2005 fully vested within six months of the date of grant. The Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”), which replaced the previous 1987, 1992 and 1993 Stock Option Plans (the “Superseded Plans”), expired during the year ended January 31, 2004. Individual grants outstanding under the 1997 Plan and certain of the Superseded Plans have expiration dates, which extend into the year 2010. Grants under the 1997 Plan and the Superseded Plans generally expire ten years from the date of grant, thirty days after termination, or six months after the date of death or termination due to disability. Stock options generally vest over a five year period, with options becoming exercisable in equal installments of twenty percent per year. As of January 31, 2007, 940,750 and 701,600 common shares were available for grant under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, respectively.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recorded $2,344 of stock compensation related to stock option awards as well as related tax benefits of $499 in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, or less than $0.01 for both basic and diluted earnings per share. During fiscal 2007, the Company granted 125,000 stock options. The estimated fair value of options granted was calculated using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The Black Scholes model incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards. The Company uses historical data on exercise timing to determine the expected life assumption. The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Government Securities Treasury Constant Maturities over the expected term of the equity instrument. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions for these grants:


	Fiscal 2007		Fiscal 2006		Fiscal 2005
Expected life, in years	6.8		6.5		5.3
Risk-free interest rate	4.8	%	4.4	%	4.3	%
Volatility	54.4	%	55.5	%	51.0	%
Dividend rate	—		—		—

Based on the Company’s historical experience, the Company has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 2% for its unvested options. Under the true-up provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than it estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

No compensation expense related to stock option grants has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for fiscal 2006 and 2005, as all of the options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to present pro forma information for the comparative period prior to the adoption as if it had accounted for all its employee stock options under the fair value method of the original SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005.

Non-vested Shares

The Company may make non-vested share awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. A non-vested shares award is an award of common shares that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period, such as an employee’s continued employment combined with the Company achieving certain financial goals. The Company holds the common shares during the restriction period, and the grantee cannot transfer the shares before the termination of that period. The grantee is, however, generally entitled to vote the common shares and receive any dividends declared and paid on the Company’s common shares during the restriction period. Unearned compensation was recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity and amortized over the vesting period of the award as stock compensation expense in the Company’s results of operations. During the year ended January 31, 2005, the Company granted 400,000 shares of restricted common stock with a grant date fair value of $5,766 and a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.42 per share. Share-based compensation resulting from this grant of $1,153 is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for each fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, 2006 and $708 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, as well as, related tax benefits of $484, $763 and $0, respectively. As of January 31, 2007, this is the only grant of non-vested shares and none of these shares have vested as of January 31, 2007. Total unrecognized compensation cost of non-vested shares granted, as of January 31, 2007 was $ 2,752, which is expected to be recognized over the period of 2.4 years.

9. Net Income Per Common Share

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used for the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:


	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,

12. Segment Reporting

The Company is a national retailer of lifestyle-oriented general merchandise with two reporting segments—“Retail” and “Wholesale”. The Company’s Retail segment consists of the aggregation of its three brands operating through 207 stores under the retail names “Urban Outfitters,” “Anthropologie” and “Free People” and includes their direct marketing campaigns which consist of three catalogs and four web sites as of January 31, 2007. Our retail stores and their direct marketing campaigns are considered operating segments. Net sales from the retail segment accounted for more than 93% of total consolidated net sales for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. The remainder is derived from the Company’s Wholesale segment that manufactures and distributes apparel to the retail segment and to approximately 1,500 better specialty retailers worldwide.

The Company has aggregated its retail stores and associated direct marketing campaigns into a Retail segment based upon their unique 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 evaluates the performance of the segments based on the net sales and pre-tax income from operations (excluding inter-company charges) of the segment. Corporate expenses include expenses incurred and directed by the corporate office that are not allocated to segments. The principal identifiable assets for each operating segment are inventories and property and equipment. Other assets are comprised primarily of general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other assets, and which are typically not allocated to the Company’s segments. The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties making similar volume purchases.
