PART I

Item 1. Business

General

We are a leading lifestyle specialty retail company that operates under the Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN brands. We also operate a Wholesale segment under the Free People brand. We have over 42 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 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 websites, www.urbanoutfitters.com, www.anthropologie.com, www.freepeople.com, www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk, www.urbanoutfitters.de, www.urbanoutfitters.fr, www.anthropologie.eu, www.freepeople.co.uk, www.shopterrain.com and www.bhldn.com and also through our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People catalogs. We have achieved compounded annual sales growth of approximately 13% over the past five years, with sales of approximately $2.8 billion in the year ended January 31, 2013.

We opened our first store in 1970 near the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 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

1

Philadelphia in October 1992. We started doing business in Europe in June 1998, with our first European Urban Outfitters store located in London. We opened our first Free People store in the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, New Jersey in November 2002. We opened our first Terrain garden center in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania in April 2008. We opened our first European Anthropologie store in London in October 2009. In August 2011, we opened our first BHLDN store in Houston, Texas.

In 1984 we established the Free People wholesale division 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.

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 2013 ended on January 31, 2013.

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 website, 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 website at www.sec.gov.

Our omni-channel strategy allows customers to experience our brands, rather than a channel within the brand, by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. We try to deliver the best customer experience possible through an integration of all available shopping channels including stores, websites and catalogs (online and through mobile devices). Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is out-of-stock at the original store. Direct-to-consumer orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our fulfillment centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of fulfillment center and store depending on the availability of a particular item. These capabilities allow us to better serve customers and helps us to fill orders that otherwise may have been cancelled due to out-of-stock positions.

Retail Stores

Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 28 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 8,900 square feet of selling space, and typically carry an estimated 60,000 to 65,000 stock keeping units (“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. As of January 31, 2013, we operated 215 Urban

2

Outfitters stores in North America and Europe, as well as four websites and the Urban Outfitters catalog. We plan to open approximately 15 Urban Outfitters stores, globally, in fiscal 2014. Urban Outfitters’ North American and European store sales accounted for approximately 29.8% and 6.6% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2013.

Anthropologie. Anthropologie tailors its merchandise and inviting store environment to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 28 to 45. Anthropologie’s unique and eclectic product assortment includes women’s casual apparel and accessories, shoes, 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 7,100 square feet of selling space, typically carry an estimated 45,000 to 50,000 SKUs and are located in specialty retail centers, upscale street locations and enclosed malls. As of January 31, 2013, we operated 180 Anthropologie stores in North America and Europe, as well as two websites and the Anthropologie catalog. We plan to open approximately 12 Anthropologie stores, globally, in fiscal 2014. Anthropologie’s North American and European store sales accounted for approximately 29.7% and 0.8% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2013.

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, intimates, shoes, accessories and gifts. Free People retail stores average approximately 1,400 square feet of selling space, carry up to 10,000 SKUs and are located in enclosed malls, upscale street locations and specialty retail centers. The retail channels of Free People expose both our wholesale accounts and retail customers to the full Free People product assortment and store environment. As of January 31, 2013, we operated 77 Free People stores in North America, as well as two websites and the Free People catalog. We plan to open approximately 10 new Free People stores in fiscal 2014. Free People store sales accounted for approximately 3.3% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

Terrain. Terrain is designed to appeal to women and men interested in a creative, sophisticated outdoor living and gardening experience. Terrain creates a compelling shopping environment through its large and free standing sites, inspired by the “greenhouse.” Each of our Terrain garden centers operates with an average of approximately 18,000 square feet of enclosed selling space as well as a large outdoor seasonal selling space used for its offering of lifestyle home and garden products, antiques, live plants, flowers, wellness products and accessories. Both Terrain locations offer a full-service restaurant and coffee bar. Terrain offers a variety of landscape and design service solutions in addition to operating a website. As of January 31, 2013, we operated two Terrain garden centers, one of which opened during fiscal 2013. Terrain garden center sales accounted for less than 1% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

BHLDN. In August 2011, we opened our first BHLDN store. The BHLDN brand emphasizes every element that contributes to a wedding. BHLDN offers a curated collection of heirloom quality wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear, lingerie and decorations. The stores average approximately 3,300 square feet of selling space and are located in a specialty retail center and an upscale street location. As of January 31, 2013, we operated two BHLDN stores, one of which opened during fiscal 2013. BHLDN store sales accounted for less than 1% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

Direct-to-Consumer

We operate a direct-to-consumer channel that generates sales directly through our websites, online and via mobile devices, and catalogs. Our direct-to-consumer channel offers customers a globally accessible extension of each brands store experience. We also believe that our direct-to-consumer channel increases the reputation and recognition of our brands with our target customers. Direct-to-consumer sales for all brands combined increased 3.3% to approximately 23.7% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2013, from 20.4% in fiscal 2012.

We believe that our web marketing, social media, merchandise expansion and website and mobile initiatives are a significant contributor to our direct-to-consumer sales growth. For fiscal 2014 we plan to continue to increase our investment in these initiatives for all of our brands.

During fiscal 2013 we circulated approximately 41.9 million catalogs across all brands. Our catalog circulation levels are driven by our evaluation of the response to each individual catalog and the impact that our investment in web marketing has on the direct-to-consumer channel. Based upon that evaluation, we adjust the frequency and circulation of our catalog portfolio as needed. In addition, we evaluate the buying pattern of our direct-to-consumer customers to determine which customers respond to our catalog mailings. Accordingly, we plan to decrease our catalog circulation to approximately 30 million catalogs across all brands in fiscal 2014.

Anthropologie. Anthropologie operates a website in the United States and a website in Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Anthropologie also offers a direct-to-consumer catalog in the United States and in Europe that markets select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Anthropologie stores.

Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters operates a website in the United States and three websites in Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Urban Outfitters offers a direct-to-consumer catalog in the United States and in Europe offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Urban Outfitters stores.

Free People. Free People operates two websites that offer our domestic and European consumers a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores, as well as all of the Free People wholesale offerings. Free People also offers a direct-to-consumer catalog offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Free People stores.

Terrain. Terrain operates a website that offers our consumers a portion of the product assortment found at the Terrain garden centers.

BHLDN. Since February 2011, BHLDN has operated a website that offers our consumers to all product offerings of the BHLDN brand.

Wholesale Operations

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. During fiscal 2013, Free

4

People’s range of tops, bottoms, sweaters and dresses were sold worldwide through approximately 1,400 better department and specialty stores, including Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor and our own Free People stores. Free People currently sells its merchandise under our Free People and other labels. We also distribute our Free People products in certain department stores using a shop-within-shop sales model. We believe that the shop-within-shop 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 of our brand image. We monitor the styles and products that are popular with our wholesale customers to give us insight into current fashion trends, which helps us better serve our retail customers. Free People presently maintains wholesale sales and showroom facilities in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Tokyo. Beginning in fiscal 2013, Free People began distributing its products in Japan through an exclusive distribution and marketing agreement with World Co., Ltd. Free People wholesale sales accounted for approximately 5.3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

In addition to selling its merchandise to specialty retailers, Free People wholesale also shares production sourcing with our Retail segment. Free People employs its own senior and creative management staff, but shares business 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 ambiance 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 many stores, 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 at times placed in unique and non-traditional retail locations. A majority of our Anthropologie stores opened during fiscal 2013 were located in specialty retail centers, upscale street locations and enclosed shopping malls.

Our Urban Outfitters stores are at times located in unconventional retail spaces, including a former movie theater, a bank and a stock exchange. A majority of our Urban Outfitters stores that opened in fiscal 2013 were located in upscale street locations, specialty retail centers and enclosed shopping malls.

Our Free People retail stores opened to date are primarily located in enclosed shopping malls, specialty retail centers and upscale street locations.

5

For our Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters and Free People stores, we plan to implement a location expansion strategy in fiscal 2014 similar to our strategy in fiscal 2013.

Our two Terrain garden centers are both free-standing locations.

Our BHLDN stores are located in a specialty retail center and an upscale street location.

Buying Operations

Maintaining a constant flow of fashionable merchandise for our Retail segment is critically important to the ongoing 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 and timing of products offered. 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 social media, music, video, film, magazines and pop culture.

Merchandise

Our Urban Outfitters stores, websites, mobile applications and catalogs offer a wide array of eclectic merchandise, including women’s and men’s fashion apparel, footwear and accessories and an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. Product offerings in our Anthropologie stores, websites and catalogs include women’s casual apparel and accessories, shoes, as well as home furnishings and an eclectic diverse array of gifts and decorative accessories for the home, garden, bed and bath. Our Free People retail stores, websites and catalog offer a showcase for casual women’s apparel, intimates, shoes, accessories and gifts, primarily developed and designed by our Free People wholesale division. Our Terrain garden centers and website offer lifestyle home and garden products combined with antiques, live plants, flowers, wellness products and accessories. Our BHLDN retail stores and website offer a curated collection of heirloom quality wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear, lingerie and decorations. 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 and fulfillment centers almost daily.

The wide breadth of merchandise offered by our Retail segment includes national third-party brands, as well as exclusive merchandise developed and designed internally by our brands. 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. Merchandise designed and developed by our brands generally yields higher gross profit margins than third-party branded 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 and websites 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 range 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 that each have 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, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN store includes a combination of some or all of the following positions: a visual manager, several department managers and 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. A Terrain garden center may also include merchandise care and maintenance staff. The staff of a BHLDN store also includes a product, bridal and event manager, appointment stylist and a category specialist.

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 we have highly effective marketing tools in our websites, catalogs, email campaigns and social media . We refresh this media as frequently as daily to reflect the most cutting edge changes in fashion and culture. We also 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 store concepts include special event promotions and a variety of public relations activities designed to create community awareness of our stores and products. We also are increasingly active in the burgeoning arena of social media and blogs. We believe that the traditional method of a one-way communication to customers is no longer enough. We believe that by starting a conversation and interacting directly with our customers, most notably via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram, we are more effective at understanding and serving their fashion needs. We also believe that our blogs continue this conversation. Not only do our blogs allow us to communicate what inspires us, they allow our customers to tell us what inspires them. This fosters our relationships with our customers and encourages them to continue shopping with us.

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, war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, financial or political instability in any of the countries in which goods we purchase are manufactured, trade restrictions in the form of tariffs or quotas, or both, disruption in the supply of fabrics or raw materials, increases in the cost of fuel or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could adversely affect our business. During fiscal 2013, we purchased

7

from approximately 4,100 vendors. No single vendor accounted for more than 10% 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. We own a 291,000 square foot distribution facility in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania that receives and distributes approximately half of our retail store merchandise. This facility provides distribution services to our east coast retail stores at a favorable freight cost per unit, and provides for faster turnaround from selected vendors. This facility has a computerized material handling system and is located approximately 65 miles from our home offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We also lease a 214,500 square foot distribution center located in Reno, Nevada, that receives and distributes the remaining half of our retail store merchandise. This facility provides distribution services to our west coast retail stores at a favorable freight cost per unit, and provides for faster turnaround from selected vendors.

We lease a 459,000 square foot fulfillment center located in Trenton, South Carolina. Currently, this facility houses merchandise distributed through our wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. This facility utilizes an automated material handling system. The center currently accommodates direct-to-consumer fulfillment related functions, including inventory warehousing, receiving, customer contact operations and customer shipping.

In September 2012 we completed construction on a 463,000 square foot fulfillment center located in Reno, Nevada. This facility, which we own and operate, is used primarily to house and distribute merchandise to our western United States direct-to-consumer customers, significantly improving our fulfillment capability. The facility also includes automated material handling systems as well as a data center.

In May 2011, we transitioned the fulfillment and distribution operations for our European stores and direct-to-consumer channel from a third party provider over to separate, independently operated, distribution and fulfillment facilities located in Rushden, England. Our 98,000 square foot distribution facility supports our entire European store base and has a state-of-the-art material handling system. Our 142,000 square foot fulfillment facility, which supports our entire European direct-to-consumer channel, has an advanced cross belt sorter. We believe both of these facilities will support our European growth for the next several years.

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 network to our home offices. Additionally, many of our stores have mobile point of sale devices which have virtually the same functionality as our cash registers. These systems provide for register efficiencies, timely customer checkout and instant back office access to register information, as well as daily updates of sales, inventory data and price changes. Our direct-to-consumer operations, which include the Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN retail websites and the Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters catalogs, maintain separate software systems that manage the merchandise and customer information for our in-house customer contact center and

8

fulfillment functions. The Free People wholesale division uses a separate software system for customer service, order entry and allocations, production planning and inventory management. We have a second data center located in our Reno fulfillment facility that functions as a redundant hosting site for our direct-to-consumer and data communication systems. We have contracted with a nationally recognized company to provide disaster recovery services with respect to our key systems.

During fiscal 2010, we began work on a supply chain management software upgrade that provides us greater visibility into our supply chain process. Additionally, it provides for standardized commercial invoicing that will be automatically matched to the related purchase order. We completed Phase I of this project in fiscal 2011, which included benefits such as a single consistent view of all purchase orders to our vendors regardless of business segment. We completed Phase II of this project in fiscal 2013, which includes the implementation of a sourcing management module. This functionality allows our production department to receive component level cost options and work-in-process updates from our vendors in real time.

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 and unique store environments helps differentiate us, it also means that our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN 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, Free People and BHLDN 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 lists, response rates, website and catalog presentation, merchandise delivery and website design and availability. Our direct-to-consumer operations compete against numerous websites and catalogs, which may have a greater volume of circulation and web traffic or more effective marketing through online media and social networking sites.

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, financial and other resources.

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, 2013, we employed approximately 20,600 people, approximately 39% of whom were full-time employees. The number of part-time employees fluctuates depending on seasonal needs. Of our total employees, approximately 1% work in the Wholesale segment and the remaining 99% 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 14, “Segment Reporting,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Financial Information about Geographical Areas

See Note 14, “Segment Reporting,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding net sales from domestic and foreign operations 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.

Our performance is subject to worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending remains uncertain and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Some of the factors impacting discretionary consumer spending include general economic conditions, wages and employment, consumer debt, reductions in net worth based on severe market declines, residential real estate and mortgage markets, taxation, fuel and energy prices, interest rates, consumer confidence, the European political and economic crisis and other macroeconomic factors. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our merchandise, generally decline during recessionary periods and other periods where disposable income is adversely affected. The current economy may continue to affect consumer purchases of our merchandise and adversely impact our results of operations and continued growth. The economic conditions may also affect the number of specialty retail businesses and their ability to purchase merchandise from our Wholesale segment. It is difficult to predict how long the current uncertain economic, capital and credit market conditions will continue and what impact they will have on our business.

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 segment, our Wholesale segment is more sensitive to changes in fashion trends because of longer lead times in the manufacture and sale of its apparel. 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, opening new retail stores or extending our existing share leases.

Our growth strategy depends on our ability to open and operate new retail stores on a profitable basis. We also must be able to effectively extend our existing store leases. 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,

11

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.

We may not be successful expanding our business internationally.

Our current growth strategy also includes plans to continue to open new stores internationally over the next several years. We have limited prior experience operating internationally, where we face established competitors. International stores have different operational characteristics, including employment and labor, transportation, logistics, real estate and legal requirements. Furthermore, consumer demand and behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends may differ internationally, and as a result, sales of our merchandise may not be successful, or the margins on those sales may not be in line with those we currently anticipate. Additionally, our ability to conduct business internationally may be adversely impacted by political and economic risks, as well as the global economy. Any differences that we encounter as we expand internationally, may divert financial, operational and managerial resources from our existing operations, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

As we continue to expand our international operations, we are subject to certain U.S. laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as the laws of the foreign countries in which we operate. We are required to use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure compliance with these laws. Violations of these laws could subject us to sanctions or other penalties that could negatively affect our reputation, business and operating results.

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 segment 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, Free People and BHLDN 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. Additionally, the internet and other new technologies facilitate competitive entry and comparison shopping in our Retail segment. We strive to offer a multichannel shopping experience for our direct-to-consumer customers and use social media as a way to interact with our customers and enhance their shopping experiences. Multichannel retailing is rapidly evolving and we must keep pace with changing customer expectations and new developments by our competitors. 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. Due to difficult economic conditions our competitors may force

12

a markdown or promotional sales environment which could hurt our ability to achieve our historical profit margins. 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 President and co-founder, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Richard A. Hayne. 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. In addition, if our senior executives do not fully integrate within the structure of our management team and core business, we may be adversely affected. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Hayne, 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 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 closed.

We operate five 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 website orders around the world. The merchandise purchased for our United States and Canadian retail store operations is shipped directly to our distribution centers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and Reno, Nevada. Merchandise purchased for our direct-to-consumer operations is shipped directly to our fulfillment centers in Trenton, South Carolina and Reno, Nevada. Merchandise purchased for our wholesale operations is shipped directly to our fulfillment center in Trenton, South Carolina. The merchandise purchased for our Western Europe retail and direct-to-consumer operations is shipped to Rushden, England. If any of our distribution centers were to close 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 and customers during the time it takes for us to re-open or replace the center.

We rely significantly on international 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, acts of terrorism and natural disasters could adversely affect our business. If imported goods become difficult or impossible to bring into the United States due to significant labor issues, such as strikes at any of our ports in 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

13

production or export of merchandise from those countries. Moreover, in the event of a significant disruption in the supply of the fabrics or raw materials used by our vendors in the manufacture of our products, our vendors may not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all. 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. The cost of fuel is a significant component in transportation costs, therefore, increases in the petroleum products can adversely affect our gross margins. 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.

On August 22, 2012, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the SEC adopted new requirements for companies that manufacture products that contain certain minerals and metals, known as conflict minerals. Some of these conflict minerals are commonly used in many products, and may be used in some of the products we offer. These requirements will generally require companies to investigate, disclose and report annually whether or not conflict minerals, if used in the manufacture of the products offered by the company, originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries. The implementation of these new requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of conflict minerals used in the manufacture of certain of the products we offer. In addition, we may incur additional costs to comply with the disclosure requirements.

Our operating results fluctuate from period to period.

Our business experiences seasonal fluctuations in net sales and operating income, with a more 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 more material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations than in other periods. 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. 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 intellectual property of others. Also, others may assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other intellectual property of ours and we

14

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/or 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 or on our websites may be negatively impacted. A substantial portion of our merchandise is imported from other countries, see “We rely significantly on international sources of production” on page 13. 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 website orders. In the event of war or 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 established brands, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People. Our ability to succeed in Terrain, BHLDN, and other 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.

We may develop new store concepts through acquisitions and we may not be successful in integrating those acquisitions.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns, the possibility that current operating and financial systems and controls may be inadequate to deal with our growth and the potential loss of key employees.

We also may encounter difficulties in integrating any businesses we may acquire with our existing operations. The success of these transactions depends on our ability to:

• successfully merge corporate cultures and operational and financial systems;

• realize cost reduction synergies; and

• as necessary, retain key management members and technical personnel of acquired companies.

In addition, there may be liabilities that we fail, or are unable, to discover in the course of performing due diligence investigations on any company that we may acquire, or have recently

15

acquired. Also, there may be additional costs relating to acquisitions including, but not limited to, possible purchase price adjustments. Any of our rights to indemnification from sellers to us, even if obtained, may not be enforceable, collectible or sufficient in amount, scope or duration to fully offset the possible liabilities associated with the business or property acquired. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We rely on information technology systems and a material disruption or failure of such systems or technologies could adversely affect our business.

Our operations, in particular our direct-to-consumer sales, are subject to numerous risks, including reliance on third-party computer hardware/software, rapid technological change, diversion of sales from our stores, liability for online content, violations of state or federal laws, including those relating to online privacy, credit card fraud, risks related to the failure of the information technology systems that operate our websites, including computer viruses, telecommunications failures and electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. If our information systems or other technologies are damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them, and we may suffer loss of critical data and interruptions or delays in our operations in the interim. Although we have not experienced any interruptions or shutdowns of our systems for any material length of time for the reasons described above, such disruptions could lead to delays in our business operations and, if significant, affect our sales and profitability. During the course of business, we obtain and transmit confidential customer information through our information technology systems. While, to the best of our knowledge, we have not experienced any material misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information as a result of a security breach or cyber attack, such a security breach or cyber attack could adversely affect our business and operations, including damaging our reputation and our relationships with our customers, employees and investors and exposing us to risks of litigation and liability. While we believe we are diligent in selecting vendors, systems and procedures to enable us to maintain the integrity of our systems, we recognize that there are inherent risks and we cannot assure that any future interruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosures will not occur.

Manufacturer compliance with our social compliance program requirements.

We have a compliance program that is monitored on a regular basis by our buying offices. Our production facilities are either certified as in compliance with our program, or areas of improvement are identified and corrective follow-up action is taken. All manufacturing facilities are required to follow applicable national labor laws, as well as international compliance standards regarding workplace safety, such as standards that require clean and safe working environments, clearly marked exits and paid overtime. We believe in protecting the safety and working rights of the people who produce the goods sold in our stores and through our wholesale business, while recognizing and respecting cultural and legal differences found throughout the world. We require our outside vendors to register through an online website and agree that they and their suppliers will abide by certain standards and conditions of employment.

Our results can be adversely affected by market disruptions.

Market disruptions due to severe weather conditions, natural disasters, health hazards, terrorist activities, financial crises, political crises or other major events or the prospect of these events can

16

affect consumer spending and confidence levels and adversely affect our results or prospects in affected markets. The receipt of proceeds under any insurance we maintain for these purposes may be delayed or the proceeds may be insufficient to fully offset our losses.

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition.

Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our business, such as revenue recognition, asset impairment, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, inventories, lease obligations, self-insurance, tax matters and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance or financial condition.

We are subject to numerous regulations and legal matters that could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to customs, child labor, tax, employment, privacy, truth-in-advertising and other laws, including consumer protection regulations and zoning and occupancy ordinances that regulate retailers generally and/or govern the importation, promotion and sale of merchandise and the operation of retail stores and distribution centers. Additional legal and regulatory requirements, and the fact that foreign laws occasionally conflict with domestic laws, have increased the complexity of the regulatory environment and the cost of compliance. If these laws change without our knowledge, or are violated by importers, designers, manufacturers or distributors, we could experience delays in shipments and receipt of goods or be subject to fines or other penalties under the controlling regulations, any of which could adversely affect our business. Moreover, legal actions may be filed against us from time to time, including class actions. These actions may assert commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, data privacy, securities or other claims. We may also be impacted by litigation trends, including class action lawsuits involving consumers and shareholders, that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, the market price of our common shares, or our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

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

Item 2. Properties

Since 2006, our home office has been located in several buildings on one campus in the historic core of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Navy Yard. The consolidated offices at the Navy Yard allow for an efficient operation of our Philadelphia-based offices and will help to support our growth needs for the foreseeable future. In fiscal 2013, we completed a 25,000 square foot expansion of our home office. We currently occupy approximately 310,000 square feet. We hold options on several adjacent buildings that are available for at least the next ten years to allow for additional expansion if necessary. During fiscal 2014 we plan to begin construction on two buildings that will expand our home offices an additional

17

133,000 square feet to accommodate our growth. We expect one of these buildings to be completed in fiscal 2014 and the other in fiscal 2015.

Our European home offices are located in London, England and consist of three leased properties totaling approximately 13,000 square feet. The leased properties have varying lease term expirations through 2024.

Our retail stores are supported by two distribution facilities. We own a 291,000 square foot distribution center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which supports approximately half of our retail stores. We lease a distribution facility in Reno, Nevada. The Nevada facility is approximately 214,500 square feet and supports the remaining half of our retail stores. The term of this operating lease is set to expire in 2017 with Company options to renew for up to an additional ten years.

We operate a 459,000 square foot fulfillment center in Trenton, South Carolina, which houses merchandise distributed through our direct-to-consumer channel and Wholesale segment. The Trenton fulfillment center also houses our customer contact center, which occupies approximately 16,000 square feet. The operating lease for the Trenton center is set to expire in 2016 with a Company option to renew for an additional five years. In September 2012, we completed the construction of a 463,000 square foot fulfillment center in Reno, Nevada that we own and operate to support the direct-to-consumer channel.

In fiscal 2011, we entered into operating leases for distribution and fulfillment centers in Rushden, England to support our retail and direct-to-consumer channels in Europe. The distribution center occupies approximately 98,000 square feet and the fulfillment center occupies approximately 142,000 square feet, which also includes our European customer contact center. The term of both of these leases are set to expire in September 2020.

Improvements in recent years, including those in fiscal 2013 described in Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Liquidity and Capital Resources, were necessary to adequately support our growth. We believe we may need to further expand the square footage of our home office and distribution facilities to support our growth over the next several years. 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.

All of our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN stores are leased, 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 as of January 31, 2013, by Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN was approximately 1,910,000, 1,278,000, 105,000, 36,000 and 6,700, respectively. Terrain also utilizes outdoor space to sell seasonal items, live plants, accessories and outdoor furniture. The average store selling square feet is approximately 8,900 for Urban Outfitters, 7,100 for Anthropologie and 1,400 for Free People. Selling square feet can sometimes change due to floor moves, use of staircases, cash register configuration and other factors.

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

Overview

We operate two business segments: a leading lifestyle specialty Retail segment and a Wholesale apparel segment. Our Retail segment consists of our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, Terrain and BHLDN brands, whose merchandise is sold directly to our customers through retail stores, websites, mobile applications, catalogs and customer contact centers. Our Wholesale apparel segment consists of the Free People wholesale division that, primarily, designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel.

Our comparable Retail segment net sales data is equal to the sum of our comparable store plus comparable direct-to-consumer channels. A store is considered to be comparable if it has been open at least one full fiscal year, unless it was materially expanded or remodeled within that year or was not otherwise operating at its full capacity within that year. A direct-to-consumer channel is considered to be comparable if it has been operational for at least one full fiscal year. There is no overlap between comparable store net sales and comparable direct-to-consumer net sales. Sales from stores and direct-to-consumer channels that do not fall within the definition of comparable store or channel are considered to be non-comparable. The effects of foreign currency translation 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 in our stores, as discussed in our results of operations, may correlate to changes in customer traffic. We are able to monitor customer visits, average order value and conversion rate on our websites. We believe that changes in any of these metrics may be caused by a response to our brands’ fashion offerings, our marketing campaigns, circulation of our catalogs and an overall growth in brand recognition as we expand our store base.

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 2013 ended on January 31, 2013.

Our omni-channel strategy allows customers to experience our brands, rather than a channel within the brand, by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. We try to deliver the best customer experience possible through an integration of all available shopping channels including stores, websites and catalogs (online and through mobile devices). Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is out-of-stock at the original store. Direct-to-consumer orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our fulfillment centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of fulfillment center and store depending on the availability of a particular item. These capabilities allow us to better serve customers and helps us to fill orders that otherwise may have been cancelled due to out-of-stock positions.

Retail Store

As of January 31, 2013, we operated 215 Urban Outfitters stores of which 167 were located in the United States, 13 were located in Canada and 35 were located in Europe. During fiscal 2013, we

24

opened 18 new Urban Outfitters stores, of which 10 were located in the United States, three were located in Canada and five were located in Europe. Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 28 through a unique merchandise mix and compelling store environment. Urban Outfitters’ 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 Outfitters’ North American and European store sales accounted for approximately 29.8% and 6.6% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2013.

As of January 31, 2013, we operated 180 Anthropologie stores, of which 169 were located in the United States, eight were located in Canada and three were located in Europe. During fiscal 2013, we opened 14 new Anthropologie stores, of which 11 were located in the United States and three were located in Canada. During fiscal 2013, we closed two Anthropologie stores. Anthropologie tailors its merchandise to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 28 to 45. Anthropologie’s product assortment includes women’s casual apparel and accessories, shoes, home furnishings and a diverse array of gifts and decorative items. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years, some of which may be outside the United States. Anthropologie’s North American and European store sales accounted for approximately 29.7% and 0.8% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for fiscal 2013.

As of January 31, 2013, we operated 77 Free People stores, of which 75 were located in the United States and two were located in Canada. During fiscal 2013 we opened 15 new Free People stores, of which 13 were located in the United States and two were located in Canada. 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, intimates, shoes, accessories and gifts. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years some of which may be outside the United States. Free People’s store sales accounted for approximately 3.3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

As of January 31, 2013, we operated two Terrain garden centers, one of which opened during fiscal 2013. Terrain is designed to appeal to women and men interested in a creative, sophisticated outdoor living and gardening experience. Terrain creates a compelling shopping environment through its large and freestanding sites, inspired by the “greenhouse.” Merchandise includes lifestyle home and garden products combined with antiques, live plants, flowers, wellness products and accessories. Both Terrain locations offer a full-service restaurant and coffee bar. Terrain also offers a variety of landscape and design services. Terrain garden center sales accounted for less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

As of January 31, 2013, we operated two BHLDN stores, one of which opened during fiscal 2013. BHLDN offers a curated collection of heirloom quality wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear, lingerie and decorations. BHLDN store sales accounted for less than 1.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

For all brands combined, we plan to open approximately 35-40 new stores during fiscal 2014, including 15 Urban Outfitters stores, 12 Anthropologie stores and 10 Free People stores.

Direct-to-Consumer

We operate a direct-to-consumer channel that generates sales by accepting orders directly through our websites, online and via mobile devices, and catalogs. Our direct-to-consumer channel offers

25

customers a globally accessible extension of each brands store experience. We also believe that our direct-to-consumer channel increases the reputation and recognition of our brands with our target customers and offers the customers a globally accessible and differentiated shopping experience. Direct-to-consumer net sales as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased 3.3% to approximately 23.7% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2013, from 20.4% in fiscal 2012.

We believe that our web marketing, social media, merchandise expansion and website and mobile initiatives are a significant contributor to our direct-to-consumer sales growth. For fiscal 2014 we plan to continue to increase our investment in these initiatives for all of our brands.

During fiscal 2013 we circulated approximately 41.9 million catalogs across all brands. Our catalog circulation levels are driven by our evaluation of the response to each individual catalog and the impact that our investment in web marketing has on the direct-to-consumer channel. Based upon that evaluation, we adjust the frequency and circulation of our catalog portfolio as needed. In addition, we evaluate the buying pattern of our direct-to-consumer customers to determine which customers respond to our catalog mailings. Accordingly, we plan to decrease our catalog circulation to approximately 30 million catalogs across all brands in fiscal 2014.

Anthropologie. Anthropologie operates a website in the United States and a website in Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Anthropologie also offers a direct-to-consumer catalog in the United States and in Europe that markets select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Anthropologie stores.

Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters operates a website in the United States and three websites in Europe that capture the spirit of the brand by offering a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores. Urban Outfitters offers a direct-to-consumer catalog in the United States and in Europe offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Urban Outfitters stores.

Free People. Free People operates two websites that offer our domestic and European consumers a similar yet broader selection of merchandise as found in our stores, as well as all of the Free People wholesale offerings. Free People also offers a direct-to-consumer catalog offering select merchandise, most of which is also available in our Free People stores.

Terrain. Terrain operates a website that offers our consumers a portion of the product assortment found at the Terrain garden centers.

BHLDN. Since February 2011, BHLDN has operated a website that offers our consumers to all product offerings of the BHLDN brand.

Wholesale

The Free People wholesale division designs, develops and markets young women’s contemporary casual apparel. During fiscal 2013, Free People’s range of tops, bottoms, sweaters and dresses were sold worldwide through approximately 1,400 better department and specialty stores, including Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor and our own Free People stores. Free People wholesale sales accounted for approximately 5.3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 of 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 presentation of our financial condition and cash flows 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

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. Revenue is recognized at the completion of a job or service for landscape sales. Revenue is presented on a net basis and does not include any tax assessed by a governmental or municipal authority. Payment for merchandise at our stores and through our direct-to-consumer channel is tendered by cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card. Therefore, our need to collect outstanding accounts receivable for our Retail segment is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card transactions. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for our wholesale and landscape service 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, are not material. Deposits for landscape services are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon completion of service. Landscape services and related deposits are not material.

We account for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. A liability is established and remains on our books until the card is redeemed by the customer, at which time we record the redemption of the card for merchandise as a sale, or when we determine the likelihood of redemption is remote. We determine the probability of the gift cards being redeemed to be remote based on historical redemption patterns. Revenues attributable to gift card liabilities relieved after the likelihood of redemption becomes remote are included in sales and are not material. Our gift cards do not expire.

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. The reserve for estimated

27

product returns is based on our most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially higher than our estimate, sales returns would be adjusted in the future. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, reserves for estimated sales returns totaled $14.4 million and $11.0 million, representing 3.3% and 2.6% of total liabilities, respectively.

Marketable Securities

All of our marketable securities as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are considered temporary and therefore are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized losses. 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 assets have maturity dates of less than one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as non-current assets have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities such as auction rate securities that fail at auction and do not liquidate in the normal course are classified as non-current assets.

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 import related costs, including freight, import taxes and agent commissions. A periodic review of inventory 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 expected 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 that we utilize 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 the value and nature of merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if appropriate. The majority of inventory at January 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of finished goods. Unfinished goods and work-in-process were not material to the overall net inventory value. Net inventories as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 totaled $282.4 million and $250.1 million, representing 15.7% and 16.9% 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 provisions related to the net realizable value of our inventories are primarily based on the market value of our annual physical inventories, cycle counts 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.

28

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets consist principally of store leasehold improvements, buildings and furniture and fixtures, and are included in the “Property and equipment, net” line item in our consolidated balance sheets included in this report (“Consolidated Balance Sheets”). 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, 2013 and January 31, 2012 totaled $733.4 million and $685.0 million, respectively, representing 40.8% and 46.2% of total assets, respectively.

In assessing potential impairment of these 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 within three years from the date a store location has opened. If financial results are substantially different from our expectations, the carrying value of certain of our long-lived assets may become impaired. For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, write-downs of long-lived assets were not material.

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 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.

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 Sheets. 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. Net deferred tax assets as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 totaled $41.1 million and $63.9 million, respectively, representing 2.3% and 4.3% 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 record additional income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Valuation allowances were $2.1 million as of January 31, 2013 and $2.8 million as of January 31, 2012. Valuation allowances

29

are based on evidence of our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in certain foreign and state jurisdictions. In the future, if enough evidence of our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in these jurisdictions becomes apparent, we would be required to reduce our valuation allowances, resulting in a reduction in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements 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.

Our tax liability for uncertain tax positions contains uncertainties because we are required to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the exposures associated with our various filing positions. Although we believe that the judgments and estimates discussed herein are reasonable, actual results may differ, and we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.

Accounting for Contingencies

From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. We are required to record an estimated loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual disputes 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 financial statements could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known.

Share-Based Compensation

Accounting for share-based compensation requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

We use a Lattice Binomial pricing model to determine the fair value of our stock options and stock appreciation rights. This model uses assumptions including the risk free rate of interest, expected volatility of our stock price and expected life of the options. A Monte Carlo simulation, which utilizes similar assumptions, is used to determine the fair value of performance shares. We review our assumptions and the valuations provided by independent third-party valuation advisors in order to determine the fair value of share-based compensation awards at the date of grant. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of these share-based payment awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Additionally, we make certain estimates about the number of awards which will be granted under performance based incentive plans. We record expense for performance based shares based on our current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued. The estimation of share-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised and could be materially different from share-based compensation expense recorded in prior periods.

30

We are also required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards and historical experience. We revise our forfeiture rates, when necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those originally estimated. As a result, if the actual forfeiture rate is different from the estimate at the completion of the vesting period, the share-based compensation expense may not be comparable to amounts recorded in prior periods.

Results of Operations

As a Percentage of Net Sales

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of our net sales represented by certain income statement data and the change in certain income statement data from period to period. This table should be read in conjunction with the discussion that follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
	2013			2012			2011

Net income		28.1	%		-32.1	%		24.1	%

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

Net sales in fiscal 2013 increased by 13.0% to $2.79 billion, from $2.47 billion in the prior fiscal year. The $321 million increase was attributable to a $305 million, or 13.1%, increase in Retail segment net sales and a $16 million, or 11.8%, increase in our Wholesale segment net sales.

The growth in our Retail segment net sales during fiscal 2013 was driven by increases of $158 million in non-comparable and new store net sales and $158 million, or 31.4%, in total direct-to-consumer net sales. These increases were partially offset by an $11 million, or 0.6%, decrease in comparable store net sales. Our total company comparable Retail segment net sales increase of 6.9% was comprised of increases of 21.8%, 8.0% and 3.6% at Free People, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, respectively. The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores

31

was primarily the result of opening 106 new stores in fiscal 2013 and 2012 that were not in operation for the full comparable periods. The comparable store net sales decrease for fiscal 2013 was primarily due to decreases in average units per transaction and average unit sales prices, partially offset by an increase in transactions. The direct-to-consumer net sales increase was driven by increased traffic to our web sites, which was partially offset by a decline in average order value and conversion rate. Thus far during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, comparable Retail segment net sales are high single-digit positive.

The increase in our Wholesale segment net sales of $21 million, or 16.6%, was driven by an increase in transactions, which was partially offset by a decline in average unit selling prices. The Free People wholesale net sales increase was partially offset by a $5 million decline in Leifsdottir net sales resulting from the discontinuation of wholesale distribution of the Leifsdottir brand, which began in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and was principally completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Gross profit rates in fiscal 2013 increased to 36.9% of net sales, or $1.03 billion, from 34.8% of net sales, or $861 million, in fiscal 2012. The increase in the rate was primarily due to a reduction in merchandise markdowns. Total Company inventory increased 12.9% to $282 million from $250 million in the prior year. Comparable Retail segment inventory, which includes our comparable store and our comparable direct-to-consumer channels, grew 5.7%, while comparable store inventories decreased 3.4%. The growth in total inventories is primarily related to the acquisition of inventory to stock new and non-comparable stores and to support the significant growth in the direct-to-consumer channel.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 2013, increased to 23.5% of net sales versus 23.3% of net sales for fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily due to the deleveraging of direct store controllable expenses driven by the negative comparable store net sales. In fiscal 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $81 million, or 14.1%, to $657 million, from $576 million in fiscal 2012. The dollar increase over the prior year is primarily related to the operating expenses of new and non-comparable stores.

Income from operations increased to 13.4% of net sales, or $374 million, for fiscal 2013 compared to 11.5% of net sales, or $285 million, for fiscal 2012.

Our annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2013 increased to 36.8% of income before income taxes compared to 35.9% of income before income taxes for fiscal 2012. The increase in the fiscal 2013 effective tax rate is partially due to certain nonrecurring state and foreign tax adjustments. See Note 8, “Income Taxes,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, for a reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate. We expect the tax rate for fiscal 2014 to be approximately 36.5%.

Fiscal 2012 Compared to Fiscal 2011

Net sales in fiscal 2012 increased by 8.8% to $2.47 billion, from $2.27 billion in the prior fiscal year. The $200 million increase was attributable to a $187 million, or 8.7% increase, in Retail segment net sales and a $13 million, or 10.6%, increase in our Wholesale segment net sales. The growth in our Retail segment net sales during fiscal 2012 was driven by increases of $175 million in non-comparable and new store net sales and $71 million, or 16.4%, in direct-to-consumer net sales. A decrease of

$59 million, or 3.8%, in comparable store net sales was a partial offset. The net increase in comparable Retail segment net sales was comprised of increases of 17.0% and 1.4% at Free People and Urban Outfitters, respectively and a decrease of 3.2% at Anthropologie. The increase in our Wholesale segment net sales was due to a $16 million, or a 14.7% increase, at Free People wholesale, partially offset by a $3 million decrease at Leifsdottir wholesale resulting from the discontinuation of wholesale distribution of the Leifsdottir brand, which began in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and was principally completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores was primarily the result of opening 57 new stores in fiscal 2012 and 46 new stores in fiscal 2011 that were considered non-comparable during fiscal 2012. Direct-to-consumer net sales in fiscal year 2012 increased over the prior year primarily due to increased traffic to our websites combined with an increase in average order value, which more than offset a decrease in conversion rate. Catalog circulation across all brands increased by 4.1 million, or 9.3%. Comparable store net sales decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average unit sales prices combined with a decrease in the number of transactions. The increase in Free People wholesale net sales was driven by increases in transactions and average unit sale prices.

Gross profit rates in fiscal 2012 decreased to 34.8% of net sales, or $861 million, from 41.2% of net sales, or $937 million, in fiscal 2011. This decrease was principally due to increased merchandise markdowns to clear slow-moving inventory, primarily associated with women’s apparel inventory at Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters, as well as deleveraging of store occupancy expense as a result of negative comparable store net sales. Total Company inventory increased 8.9% to $250 million from $230 million in the prior year. Comparable Retail segment inventory, which includes our comparable store and our comparable direct-to-consumer channels, grew 1.8%, while comparable store inventories decreased 2.5%. The increase in total Company inventory is primarily related to the acquisition of inventory to stock new stores, our direct-to-consumer channel growth and the launch of our BHLDN brand. The decrease in comparable store inventory was a partial offset.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 2012, increased to 23.3% of net sales versus 23.0% of net sales for fiscal 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher marketing and related e-commerce investments as well as the deleveraging of direct store controllable expenses driven by the negative comparable stores sales in fiscal 2012. These increases were partially offset by lower incentive based compensation versus the prior fiscal year as well as an equity compensation expense reversal due to the departure of an executive officer. In fiscal 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $54 million, or 10.2%, to $576 million, from $522 million in fiscal 2011. The dollar increase versus the prior year is primarily related to the operating expenses of new and non-comparable stores.

Income from operations decreased to 11.5% of net sales, or $285 million, for fiscal 2012 compared to 18.2% of net sales, or $414 million, for fiscal 2011.

Our annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2012 increased to 35.9% of income before income taxes compared to 34.6% of income before income taxes for fiscal 2011. The fiscal 2011 effective tax rate was favorably affected by a non-recurring federal rehabilitation credit relating to the expansion of our home office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. See Note 8, “Income Taxes,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, 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 $623 million as of January 31, 2013 as compared to $362 million as of January 31, 2012 and $809 million as of January 31, 2011. The $261 million increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during fiscal 2013 was primarily a result of $396 million from cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $169 million cash paid for property and equipment.

Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2013, increased by $113 million to $396 million from $283 million in fiscal 2012. The increase primarily consists of higher net income net of depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items. Our working capital as of year-end for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $622 million, $364 million and $593 million, respectively. Changes in working capital primarily relate to changes in the volume of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2013 was $334 million, consisting of $169 million used primarily for the construction of new stores and a fulfillment facility and $165 million in net purchases of marketable securities.

Cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2013 of $37 million was related to the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits on stock option exercises.

During the last three years, we have satisfied our cash requirements through our cash flow from operating activities. Our primary uses of cash have been to repurchase our common shares, open new stores and purchase inventories. We have also continued to invest in our direct-to-consumer efforts, technology, fulfillment and distribution facilities, our home office and our international operations. Cash paid for property and equipment for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $169 million, $190 million, and $144 million, respectively, and were primarily used to expand and support our store base and distribution and fulfillment facilities.

During fiscal 2014, we plan to construct and open approximately 35-40 new stores, renovate certain existing stores, continue to expand our home offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, upgrade our systems, increase our investments in direct-to-consumer marketing and purchase inventory for our stores,

direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses at levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales growth. We plan to increase the level of capital expenditures during fiscal 2014 to approximately $210 million. We believe that our new store, direct-to-consumer and inventory investments have the ability to generate positive cash flow within a year. We believe the expansion of our home office and distribution facilities is necessary to adequately support our growth. We may also enter into one or more acquisitions or transactions related to the expansion of our brand offerings.

On February 28, 2006, a stock repurchase authorization by the Company’s Board of Directors allowed the Company to repurchase up to 8 million common shares. On November 16, 2010 and August 25, 2011, two additional stock repurchase authorizations by the Company’s Board of Directors allowed the Company to repurchase, in aggregate, 20 million additional common shares.

The Company repurchased all of the remaining outstanding shares available under the above authorizations during fiscal 2012. During fiscal 2012, we repurchased and retired 20.5 million common shares for approximately $538.3 million. During fiscal 2011 we repurchased and subsequently retired 6.3 million common shares for $201.0 million. We repurchased 1.2 million common shares during fiscal year 2007.

34

In addition to shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program, during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, we settled and subsequently retired 0.3 million and 0.1 million common shares at a total cost of $7.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, from employees to meet minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

On April 25, 2011, the Company amended its line of credit facility (the “Line”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. This amendment extended the term of the Line for three years, increased the accordion feature from $100 million to $175 million, reduced the interest rate margin for certain cash advances and modified certain financial covenants and terms. The Line has been subsequently amended from time to time to join certain subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors, to revise certain financial covenants, and to use the accordion feature of the Line to increase the total available credit under the Line to $175 million. The Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by the Company’s European subsidiaries that are guaranteed by the Company. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.50% based on the Company’s achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects the Company to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios such as adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on the Company’s capital expenditures and the payment of cash dividends. As of and during the year ended January 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Line and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $58.3 million as of January 31, 2013. The available credit under the Line was $116.7 million as of January 31, 2013. We expect the Line to satisfy our credit needs through at least fiscal 2014.

(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 26 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 26 locations was approximately $4,091 for fiscal 2013. It is common for the lease agreements for our European locations to adjust the minimum rental due to the current market rate multiple times during the term. The table above includes our current contractual payments for these locations. Amounts noted above include commitments for 31 executed leases for stores not opened as of January 31, 2013.

(2) Our merchandise commitments are cancellable with no or limited recourse available to the vendor until the merchandise shipping date.

(3) Includes construction contracts with contractors that are fully liquidated upon the completion of construction, which is typically within 12 months.

(4) Tax contingencies include $1,249 that is classified as a current liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2013. Tax contingencies in the table above do not show an existing liability of $9,756 because we cannot reasonably estimate in which future periods these amounts will ultimately be settled. As a result, the $9,756 liability was classified as a non-current liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of and for the three fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, except for operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, we were not party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

Our business experiences seasonal fluctuations in net sales and operating income, with a more significant portion typically realized from August 1 to December 31 of each year (the back-to-school and holiday periods). The following tables set forth our net sales, gross profit, net income and net income per common share (basic and diluted) for each quarter during the last two fiscal years and the amount of such net sales and net income, respectively, as a percentage of annual net sales and annual net income. The unaudited financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are 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 our inventory turnover rate and our historical ability to pass through the impact of any generalized changes in our cost of goods to our customers through

37

pricing adjustments, commodity and other product risks are not expected to be material. We purchase substantially all of our merchandise in U.S. dollars, including a portion of the goods for our stores located in Canada and Europe.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities consisted primarily of funds invested in money market accounts, corporate bonds rated “A” or better, municipal and pre-refunded municipal bonds rated “A” or better, auction rate securities (“ARS”) rated “A” or better, which bear interest at variable rates, treasury bills, certificates of deposit, federal government agencies, and commercial paper. Due to the short average maturity and conservative nature of our 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.

Our ARS are invested in “A” or better rated issuances that represent interests in municipal obligations. Our ARS had a par value and fair value of $4.9 million and $4.3 million as of January 31, 2013 and $23.0 million and $20.2 million as of January 31, 2012, respectively. As of January 31, 2013, all of the ARS we held failed to liquidate at auction due to lack of market demand. Based on review of credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming liquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for the same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models, we have recorded $0.6 million of temporary impairment on our ARS as of January 31, 2013 and $2.8 million as of January 31, 2012. To date, we have collected all interest payable on outstanding ARS when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. We do not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and we believe that it is not likely that we will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost. As a result of the current illiquidity, we have classified all ARS as non-current assets under marketable securities. We continue to monitor the market for ARS and consider the impact, if any, on the fair value of our investments.

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 the 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 Chief 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, 2013.

The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2013 was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report that is included on page 40 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 2013 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 Shareholders of

Urban Outfitters, Inc.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2013, 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, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 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, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

40

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2013, 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, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and our report dated April 1, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Urban Outfitters, Inc.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2013. 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 Urban Outfitters, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2013, 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2013, 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 April 1, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

1. Nature of Business

Urban Outfitters, Inc. (the “Company” or “Urban Outfitters”), which was founded in 1970, 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 and wholesale business selling to customers through various channels including retail stores, ten websites and five catalogs. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company operated 476 and 429 stores, respectively. Stores located in the United States totaled 415 as of January 31, 2013 and 381 as of January 31, 2012. Operations in Europe and Canada included 38 stores and 23 stores as of January 31, 2013, respectively, and 33 stores and 15 stores as of January 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company’s Wholesale segment sold and distributed apparel to approximately 1,400 better department and 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 2013 ended on January 31, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and all of its 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. These short-term highly liquid investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand, cash in banks and money market accounts.

Marketable Securities

All of the Company’s marketable securities as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities that are considered temporary are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized losses. 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 non-current have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available for sale securities, such as Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”) that fail at auction and do not liquidate in the normal course, are classified as non-current assets.

The Company’s ARS are invested in “A” or better rated issuances that represent interests in municipal obligations. The Company’s ARS had a fair value of $4.3 million as of January 31, 2013 and $20.2 million as of January 31, 2012. As of and subsequent to the end of the current fiscal year, all of the ARS held by the Company failed to liquidate at auction due to a lack of market demand. Liquidity for these ARS was historically provided by an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually 7, 28, 35 or 90 days. The principal associated with these failed auctions will not be available until a successful auction occurs, the bond is called by the issuer, a buyer is found from outside the auction process, or the debt obligation reaches its maturity. Based on review of credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming illiquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models, the Company has recorded $0.6 million and $2.8 million of temporary impairment on its ARS as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. To date the Company has collected all interest receivable on outstanding ARS when due and has not been informed by the issuers that accrued interest payments are currently at risk. The Company does not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and the Company believes it is not likely that it will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost. As a result of the current illiquidity, the Company has classified all ARS as non-current assets under marketable securities. The Company continues to monitor the market for ARS and consider the impact, if any, on the fair value of its investments.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from our wholesale customers as well as credit card receivables outstanding with third-party credit card vendors. The activity of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2013	$	1,614		5,019		(4,952	)	$	1,681
Year ended January 31, 2012	$	1,015		3,920		(3,321	)	$	1,614
Year ended January 31, 2011	$	1,284		2,397		(2,666	)	$	1,015

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 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 expected 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 include 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 the value and nature of merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if appropriate. The majority of inventory at January 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of finished goods. Unfinished goods and work-in-process were not material to the overall net inventory value.

Adjustments to reserves related to the net realizable value of inventories are primarily based on the market value of the Company’s annual physical inventories, cycle counts and recent historical trends. The Company’s estimates generally have been accurate and its reserve methods have been applied on a consistent basis. The Company expects the amount of its reserves and related inventories to increase over time as it expands its store base and increases direct-to-consumer sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and primarily consist of store related leasehold improvements, buildings and furniture and fixtures. Depreciation is 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 material impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets as of January 31, 2013.

Deferred Rent

Rent expense from leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The net 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

on cumulative lease year revenue versus the established breakpoint at any given point in time, the Company accrues a contingent rent liability and a corresponding rent expense.

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 lease period commencing on the date that the premises are available from the landlord. The lease period includes the construction period required to make the leased space suitable for operating during which time the Company is not permitted 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 in its consolidated financial statements under deferred rent and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the related lease 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. Revenue is recognized at the completion of a job or service for landscape sales. Revenue is presented on a net basis and does not include any tax assessed by a governmental or municipal authority. Payment for merchandise at stores and through the Company’s direct-to-consumer channel is tendered 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 channel is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card transactions. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for its wholesale and landscape service 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, are not material. Deposits for landscape services are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon completion of service. Landscape services and related deposits are not material.

The Company accounts for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. A liability is established and remains on the Company’s books until the card is redeemed by the customer, at which time the Company records the redemption of the card for merchandise as a sale or when it is determined the likelihood of redemption is remote, based on historical redemption patterns. Revenues attributable to gift card liabilities relieved after the likelihood of redemption becomes remote are included in sales and are not material. The Company’s gift cards do not expire.

Sales Return Reserve

The Company records 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. The reserve for estimated product returns is based on the Company’s most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially higher than the Company’s estimate, additional sales returns would be recorded in the future. The activity of the sales returns reserve for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2013	$	10,967		49,412		(45,931	)	$	14,448
Year ended January 31, 2012	$	11,367		41,034		(41,434	)	$	10,967
Year ended January 31, 2011	$	9,912		41,692		(40,237	)	$	11,367

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the following: the cost of merchandise; merchandise markdowns; obsolescence and shrink provisions; store occupancy costs including rent and depreciation; delivery expense; in-bound and outbound freight; customs related taxes and duties; inventory acquisition and purchasing costs; design 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: direct selling and selling supervisory expenses; marketing expenses; various corporate expenses such as information systems, finance, loss prevention, talent acquisition, home office and executive management expenses; share-based compensation expense; and 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 expenses which are comprised of web marketing, catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs related to production of photographic images used in our catalogs and on our websites. The catalog printing, paper, postage

and other costs are amortized over the period in which the customer responds to the marketing material determined based on historical customer 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 and related items are typically one to three months. If there is no expected future benefit, the cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising costs reported as prepaid expenses were $2,716 and $3,586 as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Advertising expenses were $81,944, $71,684 and $58,336 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses all start-up and organization costs as incurred, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Website 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 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not capitalize any internally generated internal-use software development costs because substantially all costs were incurred during the planning and operating stages, and costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage were not material.

Income Taxes

The Company 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. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for in the period earned. The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return (see Note 8 for a further discussion of income taxes).

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents include the effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”), restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance stock units (“PSU’s”).

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive income is comprised of two subsets—net income and other comprehensive income/loss. Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss relate to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. The foreign currency translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes because these adjustments relate to non-U.S. subsidiaries for which foreign earnings have been designated as permanently reinvested. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of foreign currency translation losses of $8,582 and $10,037 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively and unrealized losses, net of tax, on marketable securities of $200 and $1,475 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. The tax effect of the unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities recorded in comprehensive income was ($672), ($556) and $397 during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for all three years presented.

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 as of the balance sheet date, equity accounts at historical exchange rates, while revenue 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 loss within shareholders’ equity. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in accumulated losses of $8,582 and $10,037, respectively. Transaction gains and losses included in operating results for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 were not material.

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 in high-quality securities held with reputable trustees and, by policy, limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer or issue, as well as providing limitations on investment maturities. The Company’s investment policy requires that the majority of its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in corporate and municipal bonds rated “A” or better, commercial paper and federally insured or guaranteed investment vehicles such as certificates of deposit, United States treasury bills and federal government agencies. 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 collectability of 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 May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update that amended fair value measurements and disclosures. This amendment provides that the inputs and measures used to value assets that fall within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy be quantitatively presented as well as various other fair value disclosure requirements. Application is required prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted the provisions of this amendment beginning February 1, 2012. Other than the enhanced disclosures, this accounting standards update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update that requires an increase in the prominence of other comprehensive income and its components within the financial statements. The update provides entities the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. It also eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statements of shareholders’ equity. This update also required companies to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. However, in December 2011, the FASB issued an additional update which indefinitely defers the requirement related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. These updates became effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2012. In accordance with these updates the Company has presented two separate but consecutive statements which include the components of net income and other comprehensive income. Other than the change in presentation, these accounting standards updates did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that amends existing guidance by requiring that additional information be disclosed about items reclassified (“reclassification adjustments”) out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The additional information includes separately stating the total change for each component of other comprehensive income (for example unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities or foreign currency translation) and separately disclosing both current-period other comprehensive income and reclassification adjustments. Entities are also required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income as separate line items of net income but only if the entire amount reclassified must be reclassified to net income in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity must cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which will be the first quarter of fiscal 2014 for the Company. Other than the change in presentation, this accounting standards update will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Marketable Securities

During all periods shown, marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains (losses) and fair values of available-for-sale securities by major security type and class of security as of January 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Proceeds from the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $207,576, $414,769 and $571,236 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company included in interest income, in the Consolidated Statements of Income, a net realized gain of $248 during fiscal 2013, a net realized gain of $1,171 during fiscal 2012 and a net realized loss of $30 during fiscal 2011. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, resulted in a reduction of interest income of $5,276, $7,373 and $8,702 for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively.

As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, there were a total of 342 and 76 issued securities with unrealized loss positions within the Company’s portfolio, respectively. The total unrealized loss position due to the impairment of ARS held by the Company that have experienced auction failures as of January 31, 2013 and 2012 was $595 and $2,778, respectively. The Company deemed all of these securities as temporarily impaired. The unrealized loss positions were primarily due to auction failures

of the ARS held and fluctuations in the market interest rates for remaining securities. The Company believes it has the ability to realize the full value of all of these investments upon maturity or redemption.

As of January 31, 2013, the par value of our ARS was $4,925 and the estimated fair value was $4,330. Our ARS portfolio consists of “A” or better rated ARS that represent interests in municipal debt obligations. To date, we have collected all interest payable on outstanding ARS when due and have not been informed by the issuers that accrued interest payments are currently at risk. The Company does not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and the Company believes it is not likely that it will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost.

4. Fair Value

The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach that relate to its financial assets and financial liabilities). The levels of the hierarchy are described as follows:

• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the table below:

Level 2 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 consists of financial instruments where there was no active market as of January 31, 2013 and 2012. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, all of the Company’s level 3 financial instruments consisted of failed ARS of which there was insufficient observable market information to determine fair value. The Company estimated the fair values for these securities by incorporating assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions included credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming liquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for the same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models. As a result of this review, the Company determined its ARS to have a temporary impairment of $595 and $2,778 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. The estimated fair values could change significantly based on future market conditions. A hypothetical 100 basis point decline in fair value of ARS at January 31, 2013 would have resulted in a temporary impairment of $645. The Company will continue to assess the fair value of its ARS for substantive changes in relevant market conditions, changes in its financial condition or other changes that may alter its estimates described above.

7. Line of Credit Facility

On April 25, 2011, the Company amended its line of credit facility (the “Line”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. This amendment extended the term of the Line for three years, increased the accordion feature from $100 million to $175 million, reduced the interest rate margin for certain cash advances and modified certain financial covenants and terms. The Line has been subsequently amended from time to time to join certain subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors, to revise certain financial covenants, and to use the accordion feature of the Line to increase the total available credit under the Line to $175 million. The Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by the Company’s European subsidiaries that are guaranteed by the Company. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.50% based on the Company’s achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects the Company to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios such as adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on the Company’s capital expenditures and the payment of cash dividends. As of and for the year ended January 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Line and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $58,305 as of January 31, 2013. The available credit under the Line was $116,695 as of January 31, 2013.

Net deferred tax assets	$	41,120		$	63,924

Net deferred tax assets are attributed to the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, $26,555 and $48,762 were attributable to U.S. federal, $11,436 and $12,374 were attributed to state jurisdictions and $3,129 and $2,788 were attributed to foreign jurisdictions.

As of January 31, 2013, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $14,983 that do not expire and certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $6,165 that expire from 2016 through 2032. As of January 31, 2013, the Company had a full valuation allowance for certain foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards where it was uncertain the carryforwards would be utilized. The Company had no valuation allowance for certain other foreign and state 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, 2013 and 2012, the non-current portion of net deferred tax assets aggregated $26,406 and $58,681, 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 $166,798 as of January 31, 2013. These earnings are deemed to be permanently re-invested to finance growth programs. It is not practical to estimate the income tax liability that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the U.S.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	January 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Balance at the beginning of the period	$	8,664		$	7,758		$	7,532
Increases in tax positions for prior years		419			3,466			43
Decreases in tax positions for prior years		(929	)		(310	)		(592	)
Increases in tax positions for current year		635			360			1,000

Lapse in statute of limitations		(881	)		(351	)		(185	)
Balance at the end of the period	$	7,895		$	8,664		$	7,758

The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate were $3,861 and $3,874 at January 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. During the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a (expense)/benefit of ($541), $1,334 and $437, respectively, related to interest and penalties. The Company accrued $3,070 and $2,529 for the payment of interest and penalties as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company settled its Internal Revenue Service examination for the periods ended January 31, 2009 and 2010. The Company has recognized the tax effect of this settlement for previous and future periods in the end of year balances. The Company also began a new Internal Revenue Service audit for periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2012. The Company’s state and foreign filings are generally subject to audit from fiscal 2003 to 2012. It is possible that the Federal or any state examination may be resolved within twelve months. Due to the potential for resolution of Federal audit and state examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $6,211.

9. Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2008 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans each authorize up to 10,000,000 common shares, which can be granted as RSU’s, unrestricted shares, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, PSU’s or as SAR’s. Awards under these plans generally expire seven or ten years from the date of grant, thirty days after termination of employment or six months after the date of death or termination due to disability of the grantee. As of January 31, 2013, there were 6,259,024 and 809,182 common shares available to grant under the 2008 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans, respectively.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

A Lattice Binomial pricing model (“Model”) was used to estimate the fair value of stock options and SAR’s. The Model allows for assumptions such as the risk-free rate of interest, volatility and exercise rate to vary over time reflecting a more realistic pattern of economic and behavioral occurrences. 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 award is based on U.S. Government Securities Treasury Constant Maturities over the expected term of the equity instrument. The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the implied volatility and the Company’s most recent historical volatility.

Based on the Company’s historical experience, it has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for its unvested share based awards granted during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. For share based awards granted in previous years that remain unvested, annualized forfeiture rates of 5% and 2% have been assumed. 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.

Share-based compensation expense, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Stock Options	$	2,214		$	2,886		$	4,331
Stock Appreciation Rights		2,578			1,111			463
Performance Stock Units (1)(2)		6,124			(959	)		5,929
Restricted Shares		(24	)		30			2
Total	$	10,892		$	3,068		$	10,725

(1) Includes the reversal of $3,418 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2013, related to 320,200 PSU’s that will not vest as the achievement of the related performance target is not probable

(2) Includes the reversal of $8,800 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2012, related to 1,054,466 PSU’s, granted to a former executive officer of the Company, that will not vest due to the service requirement not being met.

The total tax benefit associated with share-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $3,921, $1,058 and $3,700, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company may grant stock options which generally vest over a period of three to five years. Stock options become exercisable over the vesting period in installments determined by the administrator, which can vary depending upon each individual grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors generally vest over a period of one year. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Model to estimate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant:

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company may grant SAR’s which generally vest over a five year period. Each vested SAR entitles the holder the right to the differential between the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of exercise and the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of grant. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Model to estimate the fair value of SAR’s at the date of grant:

Awards exercisable at end of year		50,000		$	26.85		6.8	$	798

The weighted-average grant date fair value of SAR’s awarded during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $11.85, $9.50 and $12.57, per share, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost of SAR’s granted, but not yet vested as of January 31, 2013 was $9,163, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.2 years.

Performance Stock Units

The Company may grant PSU’s which vest based on the achievement of various company performance targets and external market conditions. The fair value of the PSU’s are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Once the Company determines that it is probable that the performance

targets will be met, compensation expense is recorded for these awards. If any of these performance targets are not met, the awards are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one common share with varying maximum award value limitations. PSU’s typically vest over a five year period.

The following table summarizes the Company’s PSU activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013:

10. Shareholders’ Equity

On February 28, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorized the Company to repurchase up to 8,000,000 common shares. On November 16, 2010 and August 25, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved two separate stock repurchase authorizations of 10,000,000 additional common shares. These additional authorizations supplemented the Company’s 2006 stock repurchase program.

The Company repurchased all of the remaining outstanding shares available under the above authorizations during fiscal 2012. There were no share repurchases during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.

14. Segment Reporting

The Company is a global retailer of lifestyle-oriented general merchandise with two reporting segments—“Retail” and “Wholesale.” The Company’s Retail segment consists of the aggregation of its five brands operating through 476 stores under the retail names “Urban Outfitters,” “Anthropologie,” “Free People,” “Terrain” and “BHLDN” and includes their direct-to-consumer channels, which consist of five catalogs and ten websites as of January 31, 2013. Our retail stores and direct-to-consumer channels are considered one operating segment. Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for more than 94% of total consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The remaining net sales are derived from the Company’s Wholesale segment that distributes apparel to its Retail segment and to approximately 1,400 better department and specialty retailers worldwide.

The Company has aggregated its retail stores and direct-to-consumer channels into a Retail segment based upon their shared management, customer base and economic characteristics. Reporting in this format provides management with the financial information necessary to evaluate the success of the segments and the overall business. The Company 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 reporting 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, deferred taxes and prepaid expenses, 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.

Our omni-channel strategy allows customers to experience our brands, rather than a channel within the brand, by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. We try to deliver the best customer experience possible through an integration of all available shopping channels including stores, websites and catalogs (online and through mobile devices). Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is out-of-stock at the original store. Direct-to-consumer orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our fulfillment centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of fulfillment center and store depending on the availability of a particular item. These capabilities allow us to better serve customers and helps us to fill orders that otherwise may have been cancelled due to out-of-stock positions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

12 Months Ended

Jan. 31, 2013

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 2013 ended on January 31, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and all of its 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. These short-term highly liquid investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand, cash in banks and money market accounts.

Marketable Securities

All of the Company’s marketable securities as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities that are considered temporary are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized losses. 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 non-current have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available for sale securities, such as Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”) that fail at auction and do not liquidate in the normal course, are classified as non-current assets.

The Company’s ARS are invested in “A” or better rated issuances that represent interests in municipal obligations. The Company’s ARS had a fair value of $4.3 million as of January 31, 2013 and $20.2 million as of January 31, 2012. As of and subsequent to the end of the current fiscal year, all of the ARS held by the Company failed to liquidate at auction due to a lack of market demand. Liquidity for these ARS was historically provided by an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually 7, 28, 35 or 90 days. The principal associated with these failed auctions will not be available until a successful auction occurs, the bond is called by the issuer, a buyer is found from outside the auction process, or the debt obligation reaches its maturity. Based on review of credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming illiquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models, the Company has recorded $0.6 million and $2.8 million of temporary impairment on its ARS as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. To date the Company has collected all interest receivable on outstanding ARS when due and has not been informed by the issuers that accrued interest payments are currently at risk. The Company does not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and the Company believes it is not likely that it will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost. As a result of the current illiquidity, the Company has classified all ARS as non-current assets under marketable securities. The Company continues to monitor the market for ARS and consider the impact, if any, on the fair value of its investments.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from our wholesale customers as well as credit card receivables outstanding with third-party credit card vendors. The activity of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2013	$	1,614		5,019		(4,952	)	$	1,681
Year ended January 31, 2012	$	1,015		3,920		(3,321	)	$	1,614
Year ended January 31, 2011	$	1,284		2,397		(2,666	)	$	1,015

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 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 expected 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 include 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 the value and nature of merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if appropriate. The majority of inventory at January 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of finished goods. Unfinished goods and work-in-process were not material to the overall net inventory value.

Adjustments to reserves related to the net realizable value of inventories are primarily based on the market value of the Company’s annual physical inventories, cycle counts and recent historical trends. The Company’s estimates generally have been accurate and its reserve methods have been applied on a consistent basis. The Company expects the amount of its reserves and related inventories to increase over time as it expands its store base and increases direct-to-consumer sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and primarily consist of store related leasehold improvements, buildings and furniture and fixtures. Depreciation is 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 material impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets as of January 31, 2013.

Deferred Rent

Rent expense from leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The net 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, the Company accrues a contingent rent liability and a corresponding rent expense.

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 lease period commencing on the date that the premises are available from the landlord. The lease period includes the construction period required to make the leased space suitable for operating during which time the Company is not permitted 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 in its consolidated financial statements under deferred rent and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the related lease 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. Revenue is recognized at the completion of a job or service for landscape sales. Revenue is presented on a net basis and does not include any tax assessed by a governmental or municipal authority. Payment for merchandise at stores and through the Company’s direct-to-consumer channel is tendered 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 channel is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card transactions. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for its wholesale and landscape service 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, are not material. Deposits for landscape services are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon completion of service. Landscape services and related deposits are not material.

The Company accounts for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. A liability is established and remains on the Company’s books until the card is redeemed by the customer, at which time the Company records the redemption of the card for merchandise as a sale or when it is determined the likelihood of redemption is remote, based on historical redemption patterns. Revenues attributable to gift card liabilities relieved after the likelihood of redemption becomes remote are included in sales and are not material. The Company’s gift cards do not expire.

Sales Return Reserve

The Company records 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. The reserve for estimated product returns is based on the Company’s most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially higher than the Company’s estimate, additional sales returns would be recorded in the future. The activity of the sales returns reserve for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2013	$	10,967		49,412		(45,931	)	$	14,448
Year ended January 31, 2012	$	11,367		41,034		(41,434	)	$	10,967
Year ended January 31, 2011	$	9,912		41,692		(40,237	)	$	11,367

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the following: the cost of merchandise; merchandise markdowns; obsolescence and shrink provisions; store occupancy costs including rent and depreciation; delivery expense; in-bound and outbound freight; customs related taxes and duties; inventory acquisition and purchasing costs; design 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: direct selling and selling supervisory expenses; marketing expenses; various corporate expenses such as information systems, finance, loss prevention, talent acquisition, home office and executive management expenses; share-based compensation expense; and 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 expenses which are comprised of web marketing, catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs related to production of photographic images used in our catalogs and on our websites. The catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs are amortized over the period in which the customer responds to the marketing material determined based on historical customer 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 and related items are typically one to three months. If there is no expected future benefit, the cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising costs reported as prepaid expenses were $2,716 and $3,586 as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Advertising expenses were $81,944, $71,684 and $58,336 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses all start-up and organization costs as incurred, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Website 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 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not capitalize any internally generated internal-use software development costs because substantially all costs were incurred during the planning and operating stages, and costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage were not material.

Income Taxes

The Company 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. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for in the period earned. The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return (see Note 8 for a further discussion of income taxes).

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents include the effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”), restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance stock units (“PSU’s”).

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive income is comprised of two subsets—net income and other comprehensive income/loss. Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss relate to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. The foreign currency translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes because these adjustments relate to non-U.S. subsidiaries for which foreign earnings have been designated as permanently reinvested. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of foreign currency translation losses of $8,582 and $10,037 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively and unrealized losses, net of tax, on marketable securities of $200 and $1,475 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. The tax effect of the unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities recorded in comprehensive income was ($672), ($556) and $397 during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for all three years presented.

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 as of the balance sheet date, equity accounts at historical exchange rates, while revenue 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 loss within shareholders’ equity. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in accumulated losses of $8,582 and $10,037, respectively. Transaction gains and losses included in operating results for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 were not material.

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 in high-quality securities held with reputable trustees and, by policy, limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer or issue, as well as providing limitations on investment maturities. The Company’s investment policy requires that the majority of its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in corporate and municipal bonds rated “A” or better, commercial paper and federally insured or guaranteed investment vehicles such as certificates of deposit, United States treasury bills and federal government agencies. 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 collectability of 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 May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update that amended fair value measurements and disclosures. This amendment provides that the inputs and measures used to value assets that fall within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy be quantitatively presented as well as various other fair value disclosure requirements. Application is required prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted the provisions of this amendment beginning February 1, 2012. Other than the enhanced disclosures, this accounting standards update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update that requires an increase in the prominence of other comprehensive income and its components within the financial statements. The update provides entities the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. It also eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statements of shareholders’ equity. This update also required companies to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. However, in December 2011, the FASB issued an additional update which indefinitely defers the requirement related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. These updates became effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2012. In accordance with these updates the Company has presented two separate but consecutive statements which include the components of net income and other comprehensive income. Other than the change in presentation, these accounting standards updates did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that amends existing guidance by requiring that additional information be disclosed about items reclassified (“reclassification adjustments”) out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The additional information includes separately stating the total change for each component of other comprehensive income (for example unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities or foreign currency translation) and separately disclosing both current-period other comprehensive income and reclassification adjustments. Entities are also required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income as separate line items of net income but only if the entire amount reclassified must be reclassified to net income in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity must cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which will be the first quarter of fiscal 2014 for the Company. Other than the change in presentation, this accounting standards update will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Jan. 31, 2013

Fiscal Year-End

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 2013 ended on January 31, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Urban Outfitters, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase. These short-term highly liquid investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand, cash in banks and money market accounts.

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

All of the Company’s marketable securities as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as the amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities that are considered temporary are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity until realized. Other than temporary impairment losses related to credit losses are considered to be realized losses. 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 non-current have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available for sale securities, such as Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”) that fail at auction and do not liquidate in the normal course, are classified as non-current assets.

The Company’s ARS are invested in “A” or better rated issuances that represent interests in municipal obligations. The Company’s ARS had a fair value of $4.3 million as of January 31, 2013 and $20.2 million as of January 31, 2012. As of and subsequent to the end of the current fiscal year, all of the ARS held by the Company failed to liquidate at auction due to a lack of market demand. Liquidity for these ARS was historically provided by an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually 7, 28, 35 or 90 days. The principal associated with these failed auctions will not be available until a successful auction occurs, the bond is called by the issuer, a buyer is found from outside the auction process, or the debt obligation reaches its maturity. Based on review of credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming illiquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models, the Company has recorded $0.6 million and $2.8 million of temporary impairment on its ARS as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. To date the Company has collected all interest receivable on outstanding ARS when due and has not been informed by the issuers that accrued interest payments are currently at risk. The Company does not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and the Company believes it is not likely that it will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost. As a result of the current illiquidity, the Company has classified all ARS as non-current assets under marketable securities. The Company continues to monitor the market for ARS and consider the impact, if any, on the fair value of its investments.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from our wholesale customers as well as credit card receivables outstanding with third-party credit card vendors. The activity of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2013	$	1,614		5,019		(4,952	)	$	1,681
Year ended January 31, 2012	$	1,015		3,920		(3,321	)	$	1,614
Year ended January 31, 2011	$	1,284		2,397		(2,666	)	$	1,015

Inventories

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 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 expected 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 include 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 the value and nature of merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if appropriate. The majority of inventory at January 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of finished goods. Unfinished goods and work-in-process were not material to the overall net inventory value.

Adjustments to reserves related to the net realizable value of inventories are primarily based on the market value of the Company’s annual physical inventories, cycle counts and recent historical trends. The Company’s estimates generally have been accurate and its reserve methods have been applied on a consistent basis. The Company expects the amount of its reserves and related inventories to increase over time as it expands its store base and increases direct-to-consumer sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and primarily consist of store related leasehold improvements, buildings and furniture and fixtures. Depreciation is 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 material impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets as of January 31, 2013.

Deferred Rent

Deferred Rent

Rent expense from leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The net 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, the Company accrues a contingent rent liability and a corresponding rent expense.

Operating Leases

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 lease period commencing on the date that the premises are available from the landlord. The lease period includes the construction period required to make the leased space suitable for operating during which time the Company is not permitted 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 in its consolidated financial statements under deferred rent and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the related lease 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 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. Revenue is recognized at the completion of a job or service for landscape sales. Revenue is presented on a net basis and does not include any tax assessed by a governmental or municipal authority. Payment for merchandise at stores and through the Company’s direct-to-consumer channel is tendered 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 channel is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card transactions. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for its wholesale and landscape service 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, are not material. Deposits for landscape services are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon completion of service. Landscape services and related deposits are not material.

The Company accounts for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. A liability is established and remains on the Company’s books until the card is redeemed by the customer, at which time the Company records the redemption of the card for merchandise as a sale or when it is determined the likelihood of redemption is remote, based on historical redemption patterns. Revenues attributable to gift card liabilities relieved after the likelihood of redemption becomes remote are included in sales and are not material. The Company’s gift cards do not expire.

Sales Return Reserve

Sales Return Reserve

The Company records 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. The reserve for estimated product returns is based on the Company’s most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially higher than the Company’s estimate, additional sales returns would be recorded in the future. The activity of the sales returns reserve for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Balance at beginning of year		Additions		Deductions			Balance at end of year
Year ended January 31, 2013	$	10,967		49,412		(45,931	)	$	14,448
Year ended January 31, 2012	$	11,367		41,034		(41,434	)	$	10,967
Year ended January 31, 2011	$	9,912		41,692		(40,237	)	$	11,367

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the following: the cost of merchandise; merchandise markdowns; obsolescence and shrink provisions; store occupancy costs including rent and depreciation; delivery expense; in-bound and outbound freight; customs related taxes and duties; inventory acquisition and purchasing costs; design costs; warehousing and handling costs and other inventory acquisition related costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses includes expenses such as: direct selling and selling supervisory expenses; marketing expenses; various corporate expenses such as information systems, finance, loss prevention, talent acquisition, home office and executive management expenses; share-based compensation expense; and other associated general expenses.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

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

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 expenses which are comprised of web marketing, catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs related to production of photographic images used in our catalogs and on our websites. The catalog printing, paper, postage and other costs are amortized over the period in which the customer responds to the marketing material determined based on historical customer 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 and related items are typically one to three months. If there is no expected future benefit, the cost of advertising is expensed when incurred. Advertising costs reported as prepaid expenses were $2,716 and $3,586 as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Advertising expenses were $81,944, $71,684 and $58,336 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Start-up Costs

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses all start-up and organization costs as incurred, including travel, training, recruiting, salaries and other operating costs, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Website Development Costs

Website 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 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not capitalize any internally generated internal-use software development costs because substantially all costs were incurred during the planning and operating stages, and costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage were not material.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company 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. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for in the period earned. The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return (see Note 8 for a further discussion of income taxes).

Net Income Per Common Share

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents include the effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR’s”), restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and performance stock units (“PSU’s”).

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive income is comprised of two subsets—net income and other comprehensive income/loss. Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss relate to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. The foreign currency translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes because these adjustments relate to non-U.S. subsidiaries for which foreign earnings have been designated as permanently reinvested. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of foreign currency translation losses of $8,582 and $10,037 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively and unrealized losses, net of tax, on marketable securities of $200 and $1,475 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. The tax effect of the unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities recorded in comprehensive income was ($672), ($556) and $397 during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for all three years presented.

Foreign Currency Translation

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 as of the balance sheet date, equity accounts at historical exchange rates, while revenue 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 loss within shareholders’ equity. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in accumulated losses of $8,582 and $10,037, respectively. Transaction gains and losses included in operating results for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 were not material.

Concentration of Credit Risk

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 in high-quality securities held with reputable trustees and, by policy, limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer or issue, as well as providing limitations on investment maturities. The Company’s investment policy requires that the majority of its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in corporate and municipal bonds rated “A” or better, commercial paper and federally insured or guaranteed investment vehicles such as certificates of deposit, United States treasury bills and federal government agencies. 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 collectability of 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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update that amended fair value measurements and disclosures. This amendment provides that the inputs and measures used to value assets that fall within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy be quantitatively presented as well as various other fair value disclosure requirements. Application is required prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted the provisions of this amendment beginning February 1, 2012. Other than the enhanced disclosures, this accounting standards update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update that requires an increase in the prominence of other comprehensive income and its components within the financial statements. The update provides entities the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. It also eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statements of shareholders’ equity. This update also required companies to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. However, in December 2011, the FASB issued an additional update which indefinitely defers the requirement related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. These updates became effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2012. In accordance with these updates the Company has presented two separate but consecutive statements which include the components of net income and other comprehensive income. Other than the change in presentation, these accounting standards updates did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that amends existing guidance by requiring that additional information be disclosed about items reclassified (“reclassification adjustments”) out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The additional information includes separately stating the total change for each component of other comprehensive income (for example unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities or foreign currency translation) and separately disclosing both current-period other comprehensive income and reclassification adjustments. Entities are also required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income as separate line items of net income but only if the entire amount reclassified must be reclassified to net income in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity must cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which will be the first quarter of fiscal 2014 for the Company. Other than the change in presentation, this accounting standards update will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Shareholders' Equity

10. Shareholders’ Equity

On February 28, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorized the Company to repurchase up to 8,000,000 common shares. On November 16, 2010 and August 25, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved two separate stock repurchase authorizations of 10,000,000 additional common shares. These additional authorizations supplemented the Company’s 2006 stock repurchase program.

The Company repurchased all of the remaining outstanding shares available under the above authorizations during fiscal 2012. There were no share repurchases during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. The Company repurchased and subsequently retired 20,491,530 and 6,288,447 common shares at a total cost of $538,311 and 200,732 during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average cost per share of the repurchases for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 was $26.27 and $31.92, respectively, including commissions.

In addition to shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program, during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company settled and subsequently retired 282,813 and 112,770 common shares at a total cost of $7,167 and $3,986, respectively, from employees to meet minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

As a result of the share repurchase activity noted above, the Company reduced the balance of additional paid-in-capital to zero during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 with subsequent share repurchase activity recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 the Company reduced retained earnings by $501,676 related to these share repurchases.

Fair Value

4. Fair Value

The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach that relate to its financial assets and financial liabilities). The levels of the hierarchy are described as follows:

• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the table below:

	Marketable Securities Fair Value as of January 31, 2013
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:

	$	120,550	$	76,020	$	20,197	$	216,767

Level 2 assets consist of financial instruments whose value has been based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 consists of financial instruments where there was no active market as of January 31, 2013 and 2012. As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, all of the Company’s level 3 financial instruments consisted of failed ARS of which there was insufficient observable market information to determine fair value. The Company estimated the fair values for these securities by incorporating assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions included credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming liquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for the same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models. As a result of this review, the Company determined its ARS to have a temporary impairment of $595 and $2,778 as of January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012, respectively. The estimated fair values could change significantly based on future market conditions. A hypothetical 100 basis point decline in fair value of ARS at January 31, 2013 would have resulted in a temporary impairment of $645. The Company will continue to assess the fair value of its ARS for substantive changes in relevant market conditions, changes in its financial condition or other changes that may alter its estimates described above.

Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending ARS securities balances that the Company valued using a Level 3 valuation for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012.

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2013			Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2012

Total minimum lease payments	$	1,563,764

Amounts noted above include commitments for 31 executed leases for stores not opened as of January 31, 2013. The majority of our leases allow for renewal options between five and ten years upon expiration of the initial lease term. The store leases generally provide for payment of direct operating costs including real estate taxes. Certain store leases provide for contingent rentals when sales exceed specified levels. Additionally, the Company has entered into store leases that require a percentage of total sales to be paid to landlords in lieu of minimum rent.

Rent expense consisted of the following:

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Minimum and percentage rentals	$	186,804	$	165,901	$	143,919

Total	$	192,518	$	171,304	$	149,755

The Company also has commitments for un-fulfilled purchase orders for merchandise ordered from our vendors in the normal course of business, which are liquidated within 12 months, of $343,514. The majority of the Company’s merchandise commitments are cancellable with no or limited recourse available to the vendor until merchandise shipping date. The Company also has commitments related to contracts with construction contractors, fully liquidated upon the completion of construction, which is typically within 12 months, of $4,670.

Benefit Plan

Full and part-time U.S. based employees who are at least 18 years of age are eligible after three months of employment to participate in the Urban Outfitters 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, employees can defer 1% to 25% of compensation as defined. The Company makes matching contributions in cash of $0.25 per employee contribution dollar on the first 6% of the employee contribution. The employees’ contribution is 100% vested while the Company’s matching contribution vests at 20% per year of employee service. The Company’s contributions were $1,483, $1,365 and $1,308 for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Contingencies

The Company is 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 the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company had no valuation allowance for certain other foreign and state 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, 2013 and 2012, the non-current portion of net deferred tax assets aggregated $26,406 and $58,681, 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 $166,798 as of January 31, 2013. These earnings are deemed to be permanently re-invested to finance growth programs. It is not practical to estimate the income tax liability that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the U.S.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	January 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Balance at the beginning of the period	$	8,664		$	7,758		$	7,532
Increases in tax positions for prior years		419			3,466			43
Decreases in tax positions for prior years		(929	)		(310	)		(592	)
Increases in tax positions for current year		635			360			1,000
Settlements		(13	)		(2,259	)		(40	)
Lapse in statute of limitations		(881	)		(351	)		(185	)
Balance at the end of the period	$	7,895		$	8,664		$	7,758

The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate were $3,861 and $3,874 at January 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. During the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a (expense)/benefit of ($541), $1,334 and $437, respectively, related to interest and penalties. The Company accrued $3,070 and $2,529 for the payment of interest and penalties as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company settled its Internal Revenue Service examination for the periods ended January 31, 2009 and 2010. The Company has recognized the tax effect of this settlement for previous and future periods in the end of year balances. The Company also began a new Internal Revenue Service audit for periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2012. The Company’s state and foreign filings are generally subject to audit from fiscal 2003 to 2012. It is possible that the Federal or any state examination may be resolved within twelve months. Due to the potential for resolution of Federal audit and state examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $6,211.

Line of Credit Facility

7. Line of Credit Facility

On April 25, 2011, the Company amended its line of credit facility (the “Line”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. This amendment extended the term of the Line for three years, increased the accordion feature from $100 million to $175 million, reduced the interest rate margin for certain cash advances and modified certain financial covenants and terms. The Line has been subsequently amended from time to time to join certain subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors, to revise certain financial covenants, and to use the accordion feature of the Line to increase the total available credit under the Line to $175 million. The Line contains a sub-limit for borrowings by the Company’s European subsidiaries that are guaranteed by the Company. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.50% based on the Company’s achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects the Company to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios such as adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on the Company’s capital expenditures and the payment of cash dividends. As of and for the year ended January 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Line and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $58,305 as of January 31, 2013. The available credit under the Line was $116,695 as of January 31, 2013.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

9. Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2008 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans each authorize up to 10,000,000 common shares, which can be granted as RSU’s, unrestricted shares, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, PSU’s or as SAR’s. Awards under these plans generally expire seven or ten years from the date of grant, thirty days after termination of employment or six months after the date of death or termination due to disability of the grantee. As of January 31, 2013, there were 6,259,024 and 809,182 common shares available to grant under the 2008 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans, respectively.

A Lattice Binomial pricing model (“Model”) was used to estimate the fair value of stock options and SAR’s. The Model allows for assumptions such as the risk-free rate of interest, volatility and exercise rate to vary over time reflecting a more realistic pattern of economic and behavioral occurrences. 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 award is based on U.S. Government Securities Treasury Constant Maturities over the expected term of the equity instrument. The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the implied volatility and the Company’s most recent historical volatility.

Based on the Company’s historical experience, it has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for its unvested share based awards granted during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. For share based awards granted in previous years that remain unvested, annualized forfeiture rates of 5% and 2% have been assumed. 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.

Share-based compensation expense, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Stock Options	$	2,214		$	2,886		$	4,331
Stock Appreciation Rights		2,578			1,111			463
Performance Stock Units (1)(2)		6,124			(959	)		5,929
Restricted Shares		(24	)		30			2
Total	$	10,892		$	3,068		$	10,725

(1) Includes the reversal of $3,418 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2013, related to 320,200 PSU’s that will not vest as the achievement of the related performance target is not probable

(2) Includes the reversal of $8,800 of previously recognized compensation expense in fiscal 2012, related to 1,054,466 PSU’s, granted to a former executive officer of the Company, that will not vest due to the service requirement not being met.

The total tax benefit associated with share-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $3,921, $1,058 and $3,700, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company may grant stock options which generally vest over a period of three to five years. Stock options become exercisable over the vesting period in installments determined by the administrator, which can vary depending upon each individual grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors generally vest over a period of one year. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Model to estimate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant:

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
	2013			2012			2011
Expected life, in years		3.6			3.5			4.3
Risk-free interest rate		0.5	%		0.9	%		1.8	%
Volatility		45.0	%		50.0	%		49.9	%
Dividend rate		—			—			—

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Awards outstanding at beginning of year		6,030,650		$	26.86
Granted		100,000			29.92

Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options	$	30,671	$	4,136	$	24,129

The Company recognized tax benefits related to stock options of $6,532, $953 and $1,336, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost of stock options granted but not yet vested, as of January 31, 2013, was $2,391, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.1 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company may grant SAR’s which generally vest over a five year period. Each vested SAR entitles the holder the right to the differential between the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of exercise and the value of the Company’s common share price at the date of grant. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Model to estimate the fair value of SAR’s at the date of grant:

	Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
	Fiscal 2013			Fiscal 2012			Fiscal 2011
Expected life, in years		5.0			4.8			5.3
Risk-free interest rate		0.9	%		0.8	%		1.6	%
Volatility		48.2	%		48.8	%		47.9	%
Dividend rate		—			—			—

The following table summarizes the Company’s SAR activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013:

	Awards			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Awards outstanding at beginning of year		650,800		$	30.91
Granted		595,000			31.47
Exercised		—			—
Forfeited or Expired		(47,000	)		32.25

Awards outstanding expected to vest		1,141,360			31.15		6.7	$	13,268
Awards exercisable at end of year		50,000		$	26.85		6.8	$	798

The weighted-average grant date fair value of SAR’s awarded during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $11.85, $9.50 and $12.57, per share, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost of SAR’s granted, but not yet vested as of January 31, 2013 was $9,163, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.2 years.

Performance Stock Units

The Company may grant PSU’s which vest based on the achievement of various company performance targets and external market conditions. The fair value of the PSU’s are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Once the Company determines that it is probable that the performance targets will be met, compensation expense is recorded for these awards. If any of these performance targets are not met, the awards are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one common share with varying maximum award value limitations. PSU’s typically vest over a five year period.

The following table summarizes the Company’s PSU activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013:

	Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value
Non-vested awards outstanding at beginning of year		2,523,950		$	17.23
Granted		406,190			18.22
Vested		—			—
Forfeited		(330,530	)		16.94
Non-vested awards outstanding at end of year		2,599,610		$	17.42

The weighted-average grant date fair value of PSU’s awarded during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $18.22, $16.21 and $24.03, per share, respectively. No PSU’s vested during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012. The aggregate grant date fair value of PSU’s vested during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 was $1,060. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested PSU’s as of January 31, 2013 was $24,376 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company may grant RSU’s which vest based on the achievement of specified service and external market conditions. RSU’s typically vest over a three to five year period.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013:

	Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value
Non-vested awards outstanding at beginning of year		10,666		$	21.11

There were no RSU’s granted during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSU’s awarded during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011 was $20.08 and $36.64, per share, respectively. No RSU’s vested during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2011. The aggregate grant date fair value of RSU’s vested during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 was $12. As of January 31, 2013, there were no grants of non-vested RSU’s outstanding.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

14. Segment Reporting

The Company is a global retailer of lifestyle-oriented general merchandise with two reporting segments—“Retail” and “Wholesale.” The Company’s Retail segment consists of the aggregation of its five brands operating through 476 stores under the retail names “Urban Outfitters,” “Anthropologie,” “Free People,” “Terrain” and “BHLDN” and includes their direct-to-consumer channels, which consist of five catalogs and ten websites as of January 31, 2013. Our retail stores and direct-to-consumer channels are considered one operating segment. Net sales from the Retail segment accounted for more than 94% of total consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The remaining net sales are derived from the Company’s Wholesale segment that distributes apparel to its Retail segment and to approximately 1,400 better department and specialty retailers worldwide.

The Company has aggregated its retail stores and direct-to-consumer channels into a Retail segment based upon their shared management, customer base and economic characteristics. Reporting in this format provides management with the financial information necessary to evaluate the success of the segments and the overall business. The Company 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 reporting 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, deferred taxes and prepaid expenses, 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.

Our omni-channel strategy allows customers to experience our brands, rather than a channel within the brand, by providing a seamless approach to the customer shopping experience. We try to deliver the best customer experience possible through an integration of all available shopping channels including stores, websites and catalogs (online and through mobile devices). Store sales are primarily fulfilled from that store’s inventory, but may also be shipped from any of our fulfillment centers or from a different store location if an item is out-of-stock at the original store. Direct-to-consumer orders are primarily shipped to our customers through our fulfillment centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of fulfillment center and store depending on the availability of a particular item. These capabilities allow us to better serve customers and helps us to fill orders that otherwise may have been cancelled due to out-of-stock positions.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the policies described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Both the Retail and Wholesale segments are highly diversified. No customer comprises more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. A summary of the information about the Company’s operations by segment is as follows:

As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, there were a total of 342 and 76 issued securities with unrealized loss positions within the Company’s portfolio, respectively. The total unrealized loss position due to the impairment of ARS held by the Company that have experienced auction failures as of January 31, 2013 and 2012 was $595 and $2,778, respectively. The Company deemed all of these securities as temporarily impaired. The unrealized loss positions were primarily due to auction failures of the ARS held and fluctuations in the market interest rates for remaining securities. The Company believes it has the ability to realize the full value of all of these investments upon maturity or redemption.

As of January 31, 2013, the par value of our ARS was $4,925 and the estimated fair value was $4,330. Our ARS portfolio consists of “A” or better rated ARS that represent interests in municipal debt obligations. To date, we have collected all interest payable on outstanding ARS when due and have not been informed by the issuers that accrued interest payments are currently at risk. The Company does not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and the Company believes it is not likely that it will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost.
