URBAN OUTFITTERS INC (URBN) Form 10-Q — Sep 9, 2026
Urban Outfitters' fiscal 2027 second quarter delivered net sales of $1.66 billion, up 10.4% from $1.50 billion a year ago, with net income of $240.7 million and diluted EPS of $2.78 versus $1.58 in the prior-year quarter. Roughly $100.1 million of the quarter's profit was one-time — refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs that lifted gross margin 576 basis points to 43.4% — and the tax rate was helped by a $16.2 million valuation allowance release. Underlying momentum still looks solid: retail comparable sales rose 6.2%, Nuuly subscription sales grew 28.6% on 30.4% more active subscribers, and wholesale sales climbed 18.6%.
