Urban Outfitters shrinks its net benefit 30% in its H1

 

 

Retail transformation also hits Urban Outfitters. The American retail giant closed the first half of its fiscal year, ended 31st of July, with a net benefit of 92.9 million dollars, 30% less than the same period last year, when it arrived at 134 million dollars.

 

The group explains the fall of its profitability to the extension of the sales season, the rise of logistic and delivery expenses and the traffic descent in stores. The company also states that the extension of the sales season was due to the low performance of Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters.

On the other hand, the chain Urban Outfitters, dropped 4.3% its sales, up to 671.8 million dollars. By distribution channels, both, monobrand and multibrand lowered its business. The first one reduced 0.9%, up to 1.6 billion dollars, and the second one dropped 3%, up to 165.4 million dollars.   

 

During the second quarter, Urban Outfitters opened seven new stores, three of them of Anthropologie, other three of Free People and one of Urban Outfitters. The group, however, closed five, two of Anthropologie, one of Free People and other two of its restauration chain Beverage.
