What this company does

AI

Lululemon designs and sells technical athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories through 796 company-operated stores, e-commerce, and outlets across the Americas, China, APAC, and EMEA. Direct retail sales of its branded yoga, running, and training gear drive nearly all revenue, generating $7.5 billion over the first three quarters of fiscal 2025. Growth has slowed sharply, with operating income down and margins compressing as inventory swells 39% year-over-year, signaling demand softness in its core Americas market amid intensifying athleisure competition.

Key risks

AI
  • Margin compression: Q3 gross profit grew just 1.7% on 7% revenue growth; SG&A rose 8.6%, dragging operating income down 11% YoY to $436M.
  • Inventory bloat: Inventories jumped 39% YoY to $1.998B versus 7% revenue growth, signaling potential markdown risk and slowing sell-through.
  • Cash burn from buybacks: $907M repurchased YTD plus $498M capex drove cash down 48% to $1.04B; operating cash flow fell 47% YoY.
