Business segments
American Eagle Outfitters reports two principal reportable segments: **American Eagle** and **Aerie**. These are brand-based segments rather than geographic or product-category segments. In FY2025, American Eagle generated $3,411.2 million, approximately **61.5%** of consolidated revenue; Aerie generated $1,940.9 million, approximately **35.0%**.[16][28]
The American Eagle business focuses on casual apparel. Aerie includes intimates, apparel, activewear, and swim; **OFFLINE by Aerie** is part of the Aerie business, not a separate reportable segment.[2][6]
Other operating businesses, including Todd Snyder and Unsubscribed, are grouped under **Other** rather than disclosed as separate reportable segments. Other contributed $226.0 million, about **4.1%** of FY2025 consolidated revenue; intersegment eliminations were $31.0 million, so segment percentages do not sum exactly to 100%.[16][17][6] [16][16][16][16][16][28][2][6][17]
Company history
American Eagle Outfitters traces its origins to 1977, when its first store opened at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, Michigan. Schottenstein Stores Corp. acquired the company in 1990, and American Eagle began selling private-label products that year. In 1994, the company went public, listing on Nasdaq as AEOS.[29]
The company broadened its brand portfolio with the launch of intimates label Aerie in 2006, followed by standalone Aerie stores in 2007. It also entered children’s apparel with 77kids in 2008, then announced its exit from the business in 2012.[30][31][32][33]
In 2015, American Eagle acquired Tailgate Clothing Company, including the Tailgate and Todd Snyder New York businesses; that year, Jay L. Schottenstein was named chief executive officer. In 2020, the company introduced activewear brand OFFLINE by Aerie. It completed its acquisition of logistics provider Quiet Logistics in December 2021.[34][35][36][37] [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]
