Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Eleanor. In the first quarter, our teams once again produced record quarterly sales and earnings per share. Net sales grew 11% to $1.5 billion, and EPS grew 12% to $1.30. This marks the seventh consecutive quarter of record sales and profits for URBN. I salute our extraordinary teams for their talent and remarkable consistency. All retail segment brands delivered positive comps with standout performance from Free People and FP Movement. You will hear more on both of these brands from their CEO, Sheila Harrington, in a few minutes. Our other segments, Wholesale and Subscription, also produced outstanding results and were instrumental in driving these record results. Frank and Forty, our co-president and chief operating officer, will now provide the details of our Q1 performance. After Frank, Sheila will talk about the Free People Group. Following her, Melody Marin-Ufrin, our CFO, will walk you through our outlook for Q2 and the second half of the year. I will then wrap things up with a few closing thoughts before we open the call to your questions. Frank, the floor is yours.
