Net sales increased 20.3% compared to 2019 levels with its comparable retail segment increasing 22%, driven by double-digit growth in digital channel sales that offset low-single digit decreases in retail sales.
Earlier this week, the company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of 20 million common shares.
The company reported overall net income of $127.3 million, up from $34.4 million a year ago and $60.3 million in the second quarter of 2019.
The company's flagship Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie Group brands led the way with sales of $441.6 million and $450.5 million, respectively in the quarter.
In the previous quarter, Morgan Stanley analyst Kimberly Greenberger set an overweight rating and $44 price target on the company following its earnings, saying “The URBN customer very likely replenishes her wardrobe this fall, and new bottoms silhouettes are driving wardrobe refreshes.”
