Urban Outfitters logged higher sales and profit in the second quarter, driven by growth in its Free People and Anthropologie brands.

The apparel and home goods retailer on Wednesday posted a profit of $143.9 million, or $1.58 a share, in the quarter ended July 31, compared with $117.5 million, or $1.24 a share, a year earlier. Analysts expected $1.46 a share in earnings, according to FactSet.

Revenue rose 11% to $1.50 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast revenue of $1.48 billion.

Retail same-store sales increased 5.6%, compared with the 4.9% growth Wall Street was projecting, driven by growth in retail store sales and digital channels. Same-store sales rose about 7% at Free People, 6% at Anthropologie and 4% at Urban Outfitters' namesake store.
