| Sep 3, 2026 | mda_quarterly | In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Lululemon’s net revenue declined 4% year-over-year to $2.42 billion (down 5% in constant dollars) as global comparable sales fell 9%. Revenue in the Americas dropped 8%, driven by a 12% comparable sales decline due to reduced store traffic, lower conversion rates, and lower average order values. Net revenue in China Mainland and Rest of World grew 4% and 5% respectively, propelled by store expansions—reaching 825 global company-operated locations—despite lower regional conversion rates. Gross margin expanded 200 basis points to 60.5%, bolstered by $134.5 million in International Emergency Economic Power Act tariff refunds, which provided a 560-basis-point benefit. Operating income fell 13% to $453.7 million, with operating margin contracting 190 basis points to 18.8% due to higher store occupancy, depreciation, and head office expenses. Diluted EPS was $2.92, including $0.86 from tariff refunds and related interest. The company faces headwinds from shifting consumer demand, competitive dynamics, and trade policy impacts, including the eliminated U.S. de minimis tariff exemption. In response, Lululemon launched an Americas recovery plan focused on product creation, activation, and full-price sales reliance. Liquidity remains strong, supported by $1.39 billion in cash and $695.1 million deployed toward share repurchases year-to-date. |
| Jun 4, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 increased 4% to $2.5 billion, though constant dollar growth was limited to 2%. Performance diverged sharply by region: China Mainland and Rest of World reported comparable sales increases of 20% and 5%, respectively, while the Americas saw a 5% decline driven by lower conversion rates, reduced store traffic, and decreased average order value. Gross margin contracted 410 basis points to 54.2%, primarily due to a 500 basis point product margin decline in the Americas resulting from higher import tariffs. The company paid $230 million in tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Power Act (IEEPA) and is pursuing refunds, although new tariffs have been initiated following a Supreme Court invalidation of IEEPA. Operating income fell 37% to $276.9 million, pressured by a $117.1 million increase in SG&A expenses linked to higher employee wages and brand community costs. Management is implementing an action plan in the Americas focused on product creation, activation, and a shift toward full-price selling. Liquidity remains robust with $1.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents, supplemented by a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility, with $361.8 million utilized for share repurchases during the quarter. |
