United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain notes and other
information have been condensed or omitted from the interim Consolidated Financial Statements
presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the Companys Fiscal 2010 Annual Report. In the opinion of the
Companys management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and those
described in the footnotes that follow) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.

The Companys business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to most retail apparel
businesses. The results for the current and prior periods are not necessarily indicative of future
financial results.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. At
April 30, 2011, the Company operated in one reportable segment.
On March 5, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) approved managements recommendation to proceed
with the closure of the M+O brand. The Company completed the closure of the M+O stores and
e-commerce operation during the second quarter of Fiscal 2010. These Consolidated Financial
Statements reflect the results of M+O as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
Fiscal Year
The Companys financial year is a 52/53 week year that ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31.
As used herein, Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011 refer to the 53 and 52 week periods ending February
2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009 refer to the 52 week
periods ended January 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010, respectively.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of our contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. On an ongoing basis, our management reviews its estimates based on currently
available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) 2010-28, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the
Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU
2010-28). ASU 2010-28
6
provides
amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (ASC 350) to modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting
units with zero or negative carrying amounts to clarify that, for those reporting units, an entity
is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a
goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill
impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors
indicating that an impairment may exist. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have an impact on the
Companys Fiscal 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Canadian dollar is the functional currency for the Canadian business. In accordance with
ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars (the reporting currency) at the
exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign
currencies were translated into U.S. dollars at the monthly average exchange rate for the period.
Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of
operations, whereas, related translation adjustments are reported as an element of other
comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, Comprehensive Income (refer to Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recorded for store sales upon the purchase of merchandise by customers. The Companys
e-commerce operation records revenue upon the estimated customer receipt date of the merchandise.
Shipping and handling revenues are included in net sales. Sales tax collected from customers is
excluded from revenue and is included as part of accrued income and other taxes on the Companys
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenue is recorded net of estimated and actual sales returns and deductions for coupon
redemptions and other promotions. The Company records the impact of adjustments to its sales return
reserve quarterly within net sales and cost of sales. The sales return reserve reflects an estimate
of sales returns based on projected merchandise returns determined through the use of historical
average return percentages.
Revenue is not recorded on the purchase of gift cards. A current liability is recorded upon
purchase, and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed for merchandise. Additionally,
the Company recognizes revenue on unredeemed gift cards based on an estimate of the amounts that
will not be redeemed (gift card breakage), determined through historical redemption trends. Gift
card breakage revenue is recognized in proportion to actual gift card redemptions as a component of
net sales. For further information on the Companys gift card program, refer to the Gift Cards
caption below.
The Company recognizes revenue generated from its franchise agreements based upon a percentage on
sales of merchandise by the franchisee. This revenue is recorded as a component of net sales when
earned.
The Company sells off end-of-season, overstock, and irregular merchandise to a third-party. The
proceeds from these sales are presented on a gross basis, with proceeds and cost of sell-offs
recorded in net sales and cost of sales, respectively.
Cost of Sales, Including Certain Buying, Occupancy and Warehousing Expenses
Cost of sales consists of merchandise costs, including design, sourcing, importing and inbound
freight costs, as well as markdowns, shrinkage and certain promotional costs (collectively
merchandise costs) and buying, occupancy, and warehousing costs. Buying, occupancy and
warehousing costs consist of compensation, employee benefit expenses and travel for our buyers and
certain senior merchandising executives; rent and utilities related to our stores, corporate
headquarters, distribution centers and other office space; freight from our distribution centers to
the stores; compensation and supplies for our distribution centers, including purchasing, receiving
and inspection costs; and shipping and handling costs related to our e-commerce operation.
Merchandise margin is the difference between net sales and merchandise costs. Gross profit is the
difference between net sales and cost of sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and employee benefit expenses,
including salaries, incentives and related benefits associated with our stores and corporate
headquarters. Selling, general and
administrative expenses also include advertising costs, supplies for our stores and home office,
communication
7
costs, travel and entertainment, leasing costs and services purchased. Selling,
general and administrative expenses do not include compensation, employee benefit expenses and
travel for our design, sourcing and importing teams, our buyers and our distribution centers as
these amounts are recorded in cost of sales.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net consists primarily of interest income/expense, foreign currency transaction
gain/loss and realized investment gain/loss.
Other-than-Temporary Impairment
The Company evaluates its investments for impairment in accordance with ASC 320, Investments
Debt and Equity Securities (ASC 320). ASC 320 provides guidance for determining when an
investment is considered impaired, whether impairment is other-than-temporary, and measurement of
an impairment loss. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is
less than its cost. If, after consideration of all available evidence to evaluate the realizable
value of its investment, impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment
loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the
investments cost and its fair value. Additionally, ASC 320 requires additional disclosures
relating to debt and equity securities both in the interim and annual periods as well as requires
the Company to present total other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations, with an offsetting reduction for any non-credit loss impairment amount
recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). There was no net impairment loss recognized in
earnings during either the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 or May 1, 2010.
Refer to Notes 3 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding net impairment losses recognized in earnings.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Long-term Investments
Cash includes cash equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
As of April 30, 2011, short-term investments included commercial paper, corporate bonds, treasury
bills and short-term deposits purchased with a maturity of greater than three months, but less than
one year, and auction rate securities (ARS) classified as available for sale that the Company
expects to be redeemed at par within 12 months.
As of April 30, 2011, long-term investments included investments with remaining maturities of
greater than 12 months and consisted of ARS classified as available-for-sale. It also includes the
Companys ARS Call Option related to investment sales during Fiscal 2010. The remaining contractual
maturities of our long-term ARS investments are approximately 14 months and the ARS Call Option
expires on October 29, 2013.
Unrealized gains and losses on the Companys available-for-sale securities are excluded from
earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity, within accumulated other
comprehensive income, until realized. The components of OTTI losses related to credit losses, as
defined by ASC 320, are considered by the Company to be realized losses. When available-for-sale
securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine
any realized gain or loss.
Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments.
Merchandise Inventory
Merchandise inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market, utilizing the retail
method. Average cost includes merchandise design and sourcing costs and related expenses. The
Company records merchandise receipts at the time merchandise is delivered to the foreign shipping
port by the manufacturer (FOB port). This is the point at which title and risk of loss transfer to
the Company.
The Company reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally uses
markdowns to clear merchandise. Additionally, the Company estimates a markdown reserve for future
planned permanent markdowns related to current inventory. Markdowns may occur when inventory
exceeds customer demand for reasons of style, seasonal adaptation, changes in customer preference,
lack of consumer acceptance of fashion items, competition, or if it is determined that the
inventory in stock will not sell at its currently ticketed price. Such
markdowns may have a material adverse impact on earnings, depending on the extent and amount of
inventory
8
affected.
The Company also estimates a shrinkage reserve for the period between the last
physical count and the balance sheet date. The estimate for the shrinkage reserve, based on
historical results, can be affected by changes in merchandise mix and changes in actual shrinkage
trends.
Income Taxes
The Company calculates income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), which
requires the use of the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the Consolidated Financial Statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as computed
pursuant to ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates, based on
certain judgments regarding enacted tax laws and published guidance, in effect in the years when
those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established against
the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
taxes may not be realized. Changes in the Companys level and composition of earnings, tax laws or
the deferred tax valuation allowance, as well as the results of tax audits may materially impact
our effective tax rate.
The Company evaluates its income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 which prescribes a
comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial
statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision
whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. Under ASC 740, a tax benefit from an
uncertain position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the position is
sustainable based on its technical merits.
The calculation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as the decision to recognize a
tax benefit from an uncertain position and to establish a valuation allowance require management to
make estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that its assumptions and estimates are
reasonable, although actual results may have a positive or negative material impact on the balances
of deferred tax assets and liabilities, valuation allowances or net income.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded on the basis of cost with depreciation computed utilizing the
straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives. The useful lives of our major classes
of assets are as follows:
|
|
|
Buildings
|
|
25 years |
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Lesser of 10 years or the term of the lease |
Fixtures and equipment
|
|
5 years |
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360), the Companys management
evaluates the value of leasehold improvements and store fixtures associated with retail stores,
which have been open for a period of time sufficient to reach maturity. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment
at the individual store level, which is the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be
identified. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when events and
circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of the assets. When events such
as these occur, the impaired assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value and an impairment
loss is recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
No asset impairment charges were recorded in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. During the 13
weeks ended May 1, 2010, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $18.0 million related to
the impairment of M+O stores. Based on the Companys decision to close all M+O stores in Fiscal
2010, the Company determined that the stores not previously impaired would not be able to generate
sufficient cash flow over the life of the related leases to recover the Companys initial
investment in them. The asset impairment charges for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 are recorded
within Loss from Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the
discontinued operations of M+O.
Goodwill
As of April 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $11.7 million of goodwill compared to $11.5
million as of January 29, 2011. The Companys goodwill is primarily related to the acquisition of
its importing operations on January 31, 2000, as well as the acquisition of its Canadian business
on November 29, 2000. The increase in
9
goodwill is due to the fluctuation in the foreign exchange spot rate at which the Canadian goodwill
is translated. In accordance with ASC 350, the
Company evaluates goodwill for possible impairment on at least an annual basis and last performed
an annual impairment test as of January 29, 2011. As a result of the Companys annual goodwill
impairment test, the Company concluded that its goodwill was not impaired.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded on the basis of cost with amortization computed utilizing the
straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives. The Companys intangible assets,
which primarily include trademark assets, are amortized over 15 to 25 years.
The
Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment in accordance with
ASC 350 when events or circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Such an evaluation includes the estimation
of undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by those assets. If the sum of the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amounts of the assets the assets are
impaired and are adjusted to their estimated fair value. No asset impairment charges were recorded
in the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 or May 1, 2010.
Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding
intangible assets.
Gift Cards
The value of a gift card is recorded as a current liability upon purchase, and revenue is
recognized when the gift card is redeemed for merchandise. The Company estimates gift card
breakage and recognizes revenue in proportion to actual gift card redemptions as a component of net
sales. The Company determines an estimated gift card breakage rate by continuously evaluating
historical redemption data and the time when there is a remote likelihood that a gift card will be
redeemed. During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, the Company recorded $1.1
million and $1.0 million, respectively, of revenue related to gift card breakage.
Deferred Lease Credits
Deferred lease credits represent the unamortized portion of construction allowances received from
landlords related to the Companys retail stores. Construction allowances are generally comprised
of cash amounts received by the Company from its landlords as part of the negotiated lease terms.
The Company records a receivable and a deferred lease credit liability at the lease commencement
date (date of initial possession of the store). The deferred lease credit is amortized on a
straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the original lease (including
the pre-opening build-out period) and any subsequent renewal terms. The receivable is reduced as
amounts are received from the landlord.
Co-branded Credit Card and Customer Loyalty Program
The Company offers a co-branded credit card (the AEO Visa Card) and a private label credit card
(the AEO Credit Card) under the American Eagle, aerie and 77kids brands. These credit cards are
issued by a third-party bank (the Bank), and the Company has no liability to the Bank for bad
debt expense, provided that purchases are made in accordance with the Banks procedures. Once a
customer is approved to receive the AEO Visa Card or the AEO Credit Card and the card is activated,
the customer is eligible to participate in the credit card rewards program. Customers who make
purchases at AE, aerie and 77kids earn discounts in the form of savings certificates when certain
purchase levels are reached. Also, AEO Visa Card customers who make purchases at other retailers
where the card is accepted earn additional discounts. Savings certificates are valid for 90 days
from issuance.
Points earned under the credit card rewards program on purchases at AE, aerie and 77kids are
accounted for by analogy to ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements (ASC
605-25). The Company believes that points earned under its point and loyalty programs represent
deliverables in a multiple element arrangement rather than a rebate or refund of cash.
Accordingly, the portion of the sales revenue attributed to the award points is deferred and
recognized when the award is redeemed or when the points expire. Additionally, credit card reward
points earned on non-AE, aerie or 77kids purchases are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25.
As the points are earned, a current liability is recorded for the estimated cost of the award, and
the impact of adjustments is recorded in cost of sales.
10
The Company offers its customers the AEREWARD$sm loyalty program (the Program). Under
the Program, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity and earn rewards by reaching
certain point thresholds during three-month earning periods. Rewards earned during these periods
are valid through the stated expiration date, which is approximately one month from the mailing
date of the reward. These rewards can be redeemed for a discount on a purchase of merchandise.
Rewards not redeemed during the one-month redemption period are forfeited. The Company determined
that rewards earned using the Program should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25.
Accordingly, the portion of the sales revenue attributed to the award credits is deferred and
recognized when the awards are redeemed or expire.
Stock Repurchases
During Fiscal 2007, the Companys Board authorized a total of 60.0 million shares of its common
stock for repurchase under its share repurchase program with expiration dates extending into Fiscal
2010. At the beginning of Fiscal 2010, the Company had 30.0 million shares remaining authorized
for repurchase.
During Fiscal 2010, the Company repurchased 15.5 million shares as part of its publicly announced
repurchase programs for approximately $216.1 million, at a weighted average price of $13.94 per
share. Of the total Fiscal 2010 share repurchases, 4.0 million shares were repurchased in the 13
weeks ended May 1, 2010 for approximately $71.8 million, at a weighted average price of $17.95 per
share.
There were no share repurchases as a part of the Companys publicly announced repurchase programs
during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. As of April 30, 2011, the Company had 14.5 million
shares remaining authorized for repurchase. These shares may be repurchased at the Companys
discretion. During Fiscal 2010, the Companys Board extended the current remaining share
repurchase authorization of 14.5 million shares through February 2, 2013.
During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1
million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, from certain employees at market prices totaling $2.2
million and $17.9 million, respectively. These shares were repurchased for the payment of taxes,
not in excess of the minimum statutory withholding requirements, in connection with the vesting of
share-based payments, as permitted under the 2005 Award and Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan).
The aforementioned share repurchases have been recorded as treasury stock.
Segment Information
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (ASC 280), the Company has identified four
operating segments (American Eagle Brand US and Canadian stores, aerie retail stores, 77kids retail
stores and AEO Direct) that reflect the basis used internally to review performance and allocate
resources. All of the operating segments have been aggregated and are presented as one reportable
segment, as permitted by ASC 280.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods
in order to conform to the current period presentation.

The following table presents the length of time available-for-sale securities were in continuous
unrealized loss positions but were not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. As of April
30, 2011, the fair value of all ARS investments approximated par, with no gross unrealized holding
losses.

Fair value excludes $107.0 million as of May 1, 2010 of securities whose fair value
approximated par. Additionally, as of May 1, 2010, fair value shown above includes ($0.9) million
of OTTI that has been previously recognized in earnings. |
During Fiscal 2010, the Company liquidated $191.4 million carrying value of ARS investments for
proceeds of $177.5 million and a realized loss of $24.4 million (of which $10.9 million was
previously included in OCI on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets). The ARS securities sold
during Fiscal 2010 included $119.7 million of par value ARS securities whereby the Company entered
into a settlement agreement under which a financial
12
institution (the purchaser) purchased the ARS at a discount to par, plus accrued interest.
Additionally, under this agreement, the Company retained a right (the ARS Call Option), for a
period ending October 29, 2013 to: (a) repurchase any or all of the ARS securities sold at the
agreed upon purchase prices received from the purchaser plus accrued interest; and/or (b) receive
additional proceeds from the purchaser upon certain redemptions of the ARS securities sold. The ARS
Call Option is cancelable by the purchaser for additional cash consideration.
The Company is required to assess the value of the ARS Call Option at the end of each reporting
period, with any changes in fair value recorded within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Upon origination, the Company determined that the fair value was $0.4 million. The fair value of
the ARS Call Option was included as an offsetting amount within the net loss on liquidation of
$24.4 million referenced above. As of April 30, 2011, the Company determined that the remaining
value of the ARS Call Option, which is classified as a long-term investment on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets, was $0.4 million.
The Company continues to monitor the market for ARS and consider the impact, if any, on the fair
value of its investments. If current market conditions deteriorate further, or the anticipated
recovery in market values does not occur, the Company may be required to record impairment charges
on its remaining ARS investments.
4. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Disclosures (ASC 820), defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exit price associated with the sale
of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.
Financial Instruments
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier
fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers
include:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly,
such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are
not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs (i.e., projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that
are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities. |
As of April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, the Company held certain assets that are required to be
measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These include cash equivalents and short and
long-term investments, including ARS and auction rate preferred securities.
In accordance with ASC 820, the following table represents the Companys fair value hierarchy for
its financial assets (cash equivalents and investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis
as of April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010:

The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to value its Level 3 investments. For April 30,
2011, the assumptions in the Companys model included different recovery periods, ranging from two
to 14 months depending on the type of security, varying discount factors for yield, ranging from
0.22% to 1.99%, and illiquidity of 0.50%. For May 1, 2010, the assumptions in the Companys model
included different recovery periods, ranging from two months to 11 years depending on the type of
security, varying discount factors for yield, ranging from 0.2% to 5.0%, and illiquidity, ranging
from 0.3% to 4.0%. These assumptions are subjective. They are based on the Companys current
judgment and its view of current market conditions. The use of different assumptions would result
in a different valuation and related charge.
14
As a result of the discounted cash flow analysis, no net impairment loss was recorded for the 13
weeks ended April 30, 2011. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, the Company recognized a net
recovery of $1.1 million ($0.7 million, net of tax), which reduced the total cumulative impairment
recognized in OCI as of May 1, 2010 to $9.2 million ($5.7 million, net of tax) from $10.3 million
($6.4 million, net of tax) at the end of Fiscal 2009. The reversal of temporary impairment was
primarily driven by favorable changes in the discount rate. These amounts were recorded in OCI and
resulted in an increase in the investments estimated fair values. No net impairment loss was
recorded in earnings during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010.
The reconciliation of the Companys assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using
unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows:

As of April 30, 2011, the Companys Level 3 (unobservable inputs) included $9.2 million and $0.4
million in auction rate municipal securities and the ARS Call Option, respectively. There was no
change in the carrying value of these Level 3 assets during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011.
Non-Financial Assets
The Companys non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets and property and
equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain
triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required and the Company is required to
evaluate the non-financial instrument for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require
that the non-financial asset be recorded at the estimated fair value. As a result of the Companys
annual goodwill impairment test performed as of January 29, 2011, the Company concluded that its
goodwill was not impaired. During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, there were no triggering
events that prompted an asset impairment test of the Companys goodwill.
Certain long-lived assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs
as defined in ASC 820. Based on the decision to close all M+O stores in Fiscal 2010, the Company
determined that the M+O stores not previously impaired would not be able to generate sufficient
cash flow over the life of the related leases to recover the Companys initial investment in them.
Therefore, during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, the M+O stores not previously impaired were
written down to their fair value, resulting in a loss on impairment of assets of $18.0 million.
The fair value of those stores were determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future
cash flows and discounting them using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates
future cash flows based on its experience and knowledge of the market in which the store is
located.
Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the
discontinued operations of M+O
5. Earnings per Share
ASC 260-10-45, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method (ASC 260-10-45), addresses
whether awards granted in unvested share-based payment transactions that contain non-forfeitable
rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities
and therefore are included in computing earnings per share under the two-class method, as described
in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260). Participating securities are securities that may
participate in dividends with common stock and the two-class method is an earnings allocation
formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have
been available to common shareholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period are
allocated between
15
common shareholders and other shareholders, based on their respective rights to receive dividends.
Restricted stock awards granted to certain employees under the Companys 2005 Plan are considered
participating securities as these employees receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as
common stock. There were no participating securities outstanding during the 13 weeks ending April
30, 2011. During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, the allocation of earnings to participating
securities was not significant and amounted to $0.2 million. The application of ASC 260-10-45
resulted in no change to basic or diluted income from continuing operations per common share for
the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010.
The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

Equity awards to purchase approximately 7.4 million and 7.2 million shares of common stock during
the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, respectively, were outstanding, but were not
included in the computation of weighted average diluted common share amounts as the effect of doing
so would have been anti-dilutive.
For the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, approximately 1.8 million and 0.5 million
shares of performance-based restricted stock units, respectively, were not included in the
computation of weighted average diluted common share amounts because the number of shares
ultimately issued is contingent on the Companys performance compared to pre-established annual
performance goals. Additionally, for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, there were
approximately 17,000 and 0.3 million shares, respectively, of time-based restricted stock units
that were outstanding, but not included in the computation of weighted average diluted common share
amounts as the effect of doing so would have been anti-dilutive.

Restricted Stock Grants
Time-based restricted stock awards are comprised of time-based restricted stock units. These
awards vest over three years; however, they may be accelerated to vest over one year if the Company
meets pre-established performance goals in the year of grant. Time-based restricted stock units
receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional time-based restricted stock units, which are
subject to the same restrictions and forfeiture provisions as the original award.
Performance-based restricted stock awards include performance-based restricted stock units. These
awards cliff vest at the end of a three year period based upon the Companys achievement of
pre-established goals throughout the term of the award. Performance-based restricted stock units
receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional performance-based restricted stock units,
which are subject to the same restrictions and forfeiture provisions as the original award. The
grant date fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing market price of the
Companys common stock on the date of grant.

As of April 30, 2011, there was $26.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to
non-vested time-based restricted stock unit awards that is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 2.7 years.
As of April 30, 2011, the Company had 24.9 million shares available for all equity grants.
11. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations is based on the current estimate of the
annual effective income tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events. The effective
income tax rate from continuing operations based on actual operating results for the 13 weeks ended
April 30, 2011 was 34.0% compared to 33.2% for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The lower effective
income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 was primarily due to federal and state income
tax settlements and other changes in income tax reserves.
The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income
tax expense.
The Company recognizes income tax liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits in accordance
with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as the result of the
evaluation of new information not previously available. Unrecognized tax benefits did not change
significantly during the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. Unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $2.9 million during the 13
weeks ended May 1, 2010, primarily due to federal and state income tax settlements and other
changes in income tax reserves. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the
unrecognized tax benefits recorded at the balance sheet date within the next 12 months.
12. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising out of the conduct of its
business. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies (ASC 450), management records a reserve for
estimated losses when the loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range
of possible loss exists and no anticipated loss within the range is more likely than any other
anticipated loss, the Company records the accrual at the low end
19
of the range, in accordance with ASC 450. As the Company believes that it has provided adequate
reserves, it anticipates that the ultimate outcome of any matter currently pending against the
Company will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
the Company.
13. Discontinued Operations
On March 5, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors approved managements recommendation to proceed
with the closure of the M+O brand. The Company completed the closure of the M+O stores and
e-commerce operation during the second quarter of Fiscal 2010. These Consolidated Financial
Statements reflect the results of M+O as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
Costs associated with exit or disposal activities are recorded when incurred. The Loss from
Discontinued Operations for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 included pre-tax closure charges of
$25.8 million. For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010, pre-tax charges were comprised of $5.4 million
for severance and other employee-related charges, $2.4 million in inventory charges and a non-cash
asset impairment charge of $18.0 million. As of April 30, 2011, there were no accrued liabilities
associated with the closure of M+O.

Review by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has performed a limited
review of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the 13 week periods ended
April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, as indicated in their report on the limited review included below.
Since they did not perform an audit, they express no opinion on the unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements referred to above.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (the Company)
as of April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
retained earnings and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the 13 week periods ended April
30, 2011 and May 1, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.
as of January 29, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive
income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein, and in
our report dated March 11, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of January 29, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

We caution that these forward-looking statements, and those described elsewhere in this report,
involve material risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on factors beyond our
control as discussed within Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A of our Fiscal
2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, our future performance and financial results may
differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements.
Key Performance Indicators
Our management evaluates the following items, which are considered key performance indicators, in
assessing our performance:
Comparable store sales Comparable store sales provide a measure of sales growth for stores open
at least one year over the comparable prior year period. In fiscal years following those with 53
weeks, the prior year period is shifted by one week to compare similar calendar weeks. A store is
included in comparable store sales in the thirteenth month of operation. However, stores that have
a gross square footage increase of 25% or greater due to a remodel are removed from the comparable
store sales base, but are included in total sales. These stores are returned to the comparable
store sales base in the thirteenth month following the remodel. Sales from American Eagle and
aerie stores are included in comparable stores sales. Sales from AEO Direct are not included in
comparable store sales. 77kids stores will be included in comparable store sales upon achieving 13
months of operations.
Our management considers comparable store sales to be an important indicator of our current
performance. Comparable store sales results are important to achieve leveraging of our costs,
including store payroll, store supplies, rent, etc. Comparable store sales also have a direct
impact on our total net sales, cash and working capital.
Gross profit Gross profit measures whether we are optimizing the price and inventory levels of
our merchandise and achieving an optimal level of sales. Gross profit is the difference between net
sales and cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of: merchandise costs, including design, sourcing,
importing and inbound freight costs, as well as markdowns, shrinkage, certain promotional costs and
buying, occupancy and warehousing costs. Buying, occupancy and warehousing costs consist of:
compensation, employee benefit expenses and travel for our buyers; rent and
23
utilities related to our stores, corporate headquarters, distribution centers and other office
space; freight from our distribution centers to the stores; compensation and supplies for our
distribution centers, including purchasing, receiving and inspection costs; and shipping and
handling costs related to our e-commerce operation. The inability to obtain acceptable levels of
sales, initial markups or any significant increase in our use of markdowns could have an adverse
effect on our gross profit and results of operations.
Operating income Our management views operating income as a key indicator of our success. The key
drivers of operating income are comparable store sales, gross profit, our ability to control
selling, general and administrative expenses, and our level of capital expenditures.
Store productivity Store productivity, including net sales per average square foot, sales per
productive hour, average unit retail price (AUR), conversion rate, the number of transactions
per store, the number of units sold per store and the number of units per transaction, is evaluated
by our management in assessing our operational performance.
Inventory turnover Our management evaluates inventory turnover as a measure of how productively
inventory is bought and sold. Inventory turnover is important as it can signal slow moving
inventory. This can be critical in determining the need to take markdowns on merchandise.
Cash flow and liquidity Our management evaluates cash flow from operations, investing and
financing in determining the sufficiency of our liquidity. Cash flow from operations has
historically been sufficient to cover our uses of cash. Our management believes that cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to fund anticipated capital expenditures and working capital
requirements.
Results of Operations
Overview
Overall, sales for the quarter were below our plan, while earnings were within the expected range.
An improved merchandise margin, reflecting strong inventory discipline, combined with cost savings
from our profit initiative were key contributors to this performance.
Net sales for the first quarter ended April 30, 2011 decreased 6% to $609.6 million and comparable
store sales decreased 8%, against a 5% increase last year. By brand, AE brand comparable store
sales decreased 8%, aerie decreased 7% and sales for AEO direct increased 3% in the first quarter.
First quarter sales results largely reflected less depth in key items, which resulted in less
promotional activity. During the period, we faced a highly competitive and promotional retail
landscape.
The gross margin decreased 170 basis points. An increased merchandise margin was offset by higher
rent as a rate to sales due to new store openings and the impact of negative comparable store
sales. Expense reduction efforts yielded savings in the quarter resulting in a 6%, or $10.2
million, decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, compared to a year ago.
Operating income for the first quarter was $38.4 million compared to $53.5 million last year.
Operating income as a percent to net sales was 6.3% this year compared to 8.2% last year. Income
from continuing operations decreased 21% to $28.3 million compared to $35.9 million a year ago.
Income from continuing operations per diluted share decreased $0.03 to $0.14 per diluted share.
We had $611.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments as of
April 30, 2011.
Our business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to most retail apparel businesses.
The results for the current and prior periods are not necessarily indicative of future financial
results.

The international franchise stores are not included in the consolidated store data or the total

Our operations are conducted in one reportable segment, which includes 931 U.S. and Canadian AE
retail stores, 150 aerie stand-alone retail stores, 15 77kids retail stores and AEO Direct.
Comparison of the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 to the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010
Net Sales
Net sales for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 decreased 6% to $609.6 million compared to $648.5
million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The decrease in net sales resulted primarily from an
8% decrease in comparable store sales.
AE mens comparable store sales decreased 5% and AE womens decreased 10% compared to last year.
For the first quarter, transactions declined in the low double-digits. The average transaction
value increased in the mid
25
single-digits, driven by a high single-digit increase in the average unit retail price. Fewer
price promotions during the quarter contributed to the higher AUR.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 was $231.8 million, or 38.0% as a percent to net
sales, compared to $257.7 million, or 39.7% as a rate to net sales last year. Merchandise margin
increased by 70 basis points primarily due to favorable product costs, improved markdowns and
decreased promotional activity. Buying, occupancy and warehousing costs increased by 240 basis
points, as a result of rent related to new store openings and negative comparable store sales.
There was $1.2 million of share-based payment expense for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011,
consisting of time-based awards, included in gross profit for the period compared to $3.9 million
for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010.
Our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other retailers, as some retailers include all
costs related to their distribution network as well as design costs in cost of sales and others may
exclude a portion of these costs from cost of sales, including them in a line item such as selling,
general and administrative expenses. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
a description of our accounting policy regarding cost of sales, including certain buying, occupancy
and warehousing expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 decreased
approximately 6% to $158.5 million from $168.6 million. As a rate to net sales, selling, general
and administrative expenses were flat to last year at 26.0%. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses reflects our expense saving efforts, offset by planned investments in
advertising and costs associated with new store growth.
There was $1.3 million of share-based payment expense, consisting of time-based awards, included in
selling, general and administrative expenses compared to $8.2 million last year.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percent to net sales increased to 5.7% for the 13 weeks
ended April 30, 2011 compared to 5.5% for the corresponding period last year as a result of the
impact of the negative comparable store sales. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to
$34.9 million, compared to $35.5 million last year.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net was $4.5 million for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 compared to $0.1 million
for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The increase in other income, net is primarily the result of
additional proceeds received from the ARS Call Option that amounted to a $0.01 per diluted share
benefit.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations is based on the current estimate of the
annual effective income tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events. The effective
income tax rate from continuing operations based on actual operating results for the 13 weeks ended
April 30, 2011 was 34.0% compared to 33.2% for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010. The lower effective
income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 was primarily due to federal and state income
tax settlements and other changes in income tax reserves.
26
Income from Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 was $28.3 million, or $0.14
per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010
of $35.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. The change in income from continuing operations is
attributable to the factors noted above.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
We completed the closure of M+O stores and related e-commerce operation during the second quarter
of Fiscal 2010. Accordingly, the after-tax operating results appear in Loss from Discontinued
Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Loss from
Discontinued Operations, net of tax, was $24.9 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 and
includes pre-tax closure charges of $5.4 million for severance and other employee-related charges,
$2.4 million in inventory charges and a non-cash asset impairment charge of $18.0 million.
Refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the
discontinued operations of M+O.
Net Income
Net income increased to $28.3 million, or 4.6% as a percent to net sales, from $10.9 million, or
1.7% as a percent to net sales last year. Net income per diluted share increased to $0.14 from
$0.05 in the prior year. The change in net income is attributable to the factors noted above.
International Expansion
We have entered into franchise agreements with multiple partners to expand our brands
internationally. Through these franchise agreements, we plan to open a series of American Eagle
and aerie stores in the Middle East, Northern Africa, Eastern Europe, Japan and Israel. As of the
April 30, 2011, we had five franchised stores operated by our franchise partners in Dubai, Kuwait
City and Hong Kong. These franchise agreements do not involve a capital investment from AEO and
require minimal operational involvement.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Disclosures (ASC 820), defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exit price associated with the sale
of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.
Financial Instruments
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier
fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers
include:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly,
such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are
not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs (i.e., projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that
are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities. |
As of April 30, 2011, we held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a
recurring basis. These include cash equivalents and short and long-term investments, including
auction rate securities (ARS).
27
In accordance with ASC 820, the following table represents our fair value hierarchy for our
financial assets (cash equivalents and investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as
of April 30, 2011:

We use a discounted cash flow model to value our Level 3 investments. The assumptions in our model
included different recovery periods, ranging from two months to 14 months depending on the type of
security, varying discount factors for yield, ranging from 0.22% to 1.99%, and illiquidity of
0.50%. These assumptions are subjective. They are based on our current judgment and our view of
current market conditions. The use of different assumptions (i.e., an increase in the recovery
period by one year or an increase to the discount rate and illiquidity premium of 100 basis points)
would not result in a material change to the valuation.
The fair value of the ARS Call Option described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
was also estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The model considers potential changes in
yields for securities with similar characteristics to the underlying ARS and evaluated possible
future refinancing opportunities of the issuers of the ARS. The analysis then assesses the
likelihood that the options would be exercisable as a result of the underlying ARS being redeemed
or traded in a secondary market at an amount greater than the exercise price prior to the end of
the option term. Future changes in the fair values of the ARS Call Option will be recorded within
the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Refer to Notes 3 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our
investment securities, including a description of the securities and a discussion of the
uncertainties relating to their liquidity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our uses of cash are generally for working capital, the construction of new stores and remodeling
of existing stores, information technology upgrades, distribution center improvements and
expansion, the purchase of both short and long-term investments, the repurchase of common stock and
the payment of dividends. Historically, these uses of cash have been funded with cash flow from
operations and existing cash on hand. Additionally, our current and future uses of cash include the
development of aerie and 77kids. We expect to be able to fund our future cash requirements through
current cash holdings as well as cash generated from operations.
28
Our growth strategy includes internally developing new brands and the possibility of further
international expansion or acquisitions. We periodically consider and evaluate these options to
support future growth. In the event we do pursue such options, we could require additional equity
or debt financing. There can be no assurance that we would be successful in closing any potential
transaction, or that any endeavor we undertake would increase our profitability.
The following sets forth certain measures of our liquidity:

The $7.6 million decrease in working capital as of April 30, 2011 compared to January 29,
2011, resulted primarily from the use of cash for capital expenditures, purchase of intangible
assets and the payment of dividends, offset by net income, net of non-cash adjustments. The $57.0
million increase in working capital as of April 30, 2011, compared to May 1, 2010, is primarily
related to an increase in cash and cash equivalents as a result of business performance and the
liquidation of our long-term investments.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities of Continuing Operations
Net cash used for operating activities totaled $39.2 million and $27.3 million for the 13 weeks
ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, respectively. For both periods, our major source of cash from
operations was merchandise sales and our primary outflows of cash for operations were for the
payment of operational costs.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities of Continuing Operations
Investing activities for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 included $37.7 million of capital
expenditures for property and equipment, $33.2 million for the acquisition of intangible assets
related to our international expansion strategy and $111.2 million of investment purchases,
partially offset by $48.9 million of proceeds from the sale of investments classified as
available-for-sale. Investing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2010 included $19.1 million
used for capital expenditures, partially offset by $6.9 million from the sale of investments
classified as available-for-sale.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities of Continuing Operations
Cash used for financing activities for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 consisted primarily of
$21.4 million for the payment of dividends. Cash used for financing activities for the 13 weeks
ended May 1, 2010 primarily included $71.8 million for the repurchase of 4.0 million shares as part
of our publicly announced repurchase program, $20.9 million for the payment of dividends, $17.9
million for the repurchase of common stock from employees for the payment of taxes in connection
with the vesting of share-based payments and $12.5 million for the partial repayment of our $30.0
million demand line borrowings.
Credit Facilities
We have borrowing agreements with four separate financial institutions under which we may borrow an
aggregate of $310.0 million United States Dollars (USD) and $25.0 million Canadian Dollars
(CAD). Of this amount, $200.0 million USD can be used for demand letter of credit issuances,
$50.0 million USD and $25.0 million CAD can be used for demand line borrowings and the remaining
$60.0 million USD can be used for either letters of credit or demand line borrowings at our
discretion.
The letters of credit facilities of $150.0 million USD and $50.0 million USD expire November 1,
2011 and May 27, 2011, respectively. The $50.0 million USD and $25.0 million CAD demand lines
expire on April 19, 2012 and December 13, 2011, respectively. The remaining $60.0 million USD
facility expires on May 22, 2011.
As of April 30, 2011, we had outstanding demand letters of credit of $36.0 million USD and no
demand line borrowings. The availability of any future borrowings is subject to acceptance by the
respective financial institutions.
Subsequent
to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, we renewed our $60.0 million USD credit facility
that can be used for either letters of credit or demand line borrowings. This renewed credit
facility expires on May 21, 2012, compared to the previous
expiration date of May 22, 2011. No
other terms of the agreement changed as a result of this renewal.
29
Additionally,
subsequent to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, we renewed
our $50.0 million USD
letter of credit facility. This renewed credit facility expires on May 31, 2012, compared to the
previous expiration date of May 27, 2011, and we voluntarily
reduced the facility from $50.0 million to
$35.0 million USD.
Capital Expenditures for Property and Equipment
Capital expenditures for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 were $37.7 million and included $27.8
million related to investments in our stores, including 11 new AE, aerie and 77kids stores, and
32 remodels. Additionally, we continued to support our infrastructure growth by investing in the
improvement and expansion of our distribution centers ($5.4 million), information technology
initiatives ($3.2 million) and other home office projects ($1.3 million).
For Fiscal 2011, we continue to expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $90 million to
$100 million with approximately half of the amount relating to store growth and renovation.
Stock Repurchases
During Fiscal 2007, our Board authorized a total of 60.0 million shares of our common stock for
repurchase under our share repurchase program with expiration dates extending into Fiscal 2010. At
the beginning of Fiscal 2010, we had 30.0 million shares remaining authorized for repurchase.
During Fiscal 2010, we repurchased 15.5 million shares as part of our publicly announced repurchase
programs for approximately $216.1 million, at a weighted average price of $13.94 per share. Of the
total Fiscal 2010 share repurchases, 4.0 million shares were repurchased in the 13 weeks ended May
1, 2010 for approximately $71.8 million, at a weighted average price of $17.95 per share.
There were no share repurchases as a part of our publicly announced repurchase programs during the
13 weeks ended April 30, 2011. As of April 30, 2011, we had 14.5 million shares remaining
authorized for repurchase. These shares may be repurchased at our discretion. During Fiscal 2010,
our Board extended the current remaining share repurchase authorization of 14.5 million shares
through February 2, 2013.
During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011 and May 1, 2010, we repurchased approximately 0.1 million
and 1.0 million shares, respectively, from certain employees at market prices totaling $2.2 million
and $17.9 million, respectively. These shares were repurchased for the payment of taxes, not in
excess of the minimum statutory withholding requirements, in connection with the vesting of
share-based payments, as permitted under the 2005 Award and Incentive Plan. The aforementioned
share repurchases have been recorded as treasury stock.
Dividends
During the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per
share, which was paid on April 8, 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial
Statements for the year ended January 29, 2011 contained in our Fiscal 2010 Annual Report on Form
10-K. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new

in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may
require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make
these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions
and estimates.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Principal Executive
Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of April 30, 2011, an
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of the our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and
our Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the 13
