However, parent group Urban Outfitter Inc. still managed to post sales growth of 5.7% to $905.9 million, largely thanks to brands Free People and Anthropologie which saw sales increase by 20% and 10% respectively. Wholesale activity, which accounts for 5% of the group’s business, jumped by 25% over the quarter.

Full-year results at the group were largely positive. Net sales grew 6% across the board to reach $3.09 billion, up 10% against the previous year. With over $1.37 billion in net sales, Urban Outfitters remains the group’s premier brand, just ahead of Anthropologie which generated $1.24 billion. Free People drove $416,369 in sales over 2013. Other brands at the group, which includes Terrain, generated $36,695 in sales.
