During the American Eagle Outfitters Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided several key metrics and guidance for the upcoming fiscal year. In 2024, AEO achieved record revenue of $5.3 billion, with a 4% increase in comparable sales and an adjusted operating profit of $445 million, marking significant operating margin expansion.

AEO returned over $280 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, with plans to increase share repurchase authorization in 2025.
