Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
41 rewritten, 32 added, 15 removed, 232 unchanged
Our brand and reputation could be adversely affected if we fail to achieve these objectives, if our public image was to be tarnished by negative publicity, if we fail to deliver innovative and high quality products acceptable to our guests, or if we face [added: or mishandle] a product recall.
[removed: Additionally, while we devote considerable efforts and resources to protecting] our intellectual property, if these efforts are not successful the value of our brand may be harmed.
Because of the fragmented nature of the industry, we also compete with other apparel sellers, including those [added: specializing in yoga apparel and other activewear.]
In fiscal [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] approximately [removed: 59%] [added: 60%] of our fabrics were produced by our top five fabric suppliers, and [removed: no] [added: the largest] single manufacturer produced [removed: more than] [added: approximately] 35% of raw materials used.
We work with a group of approximately [removed: 47] [added: 44] vendors that manufacture our products, five of which produced approximately [removed: 64%] [added: 60%] of our products in fiscal [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
During fiscal [removed: 2017, no] [added: 2018, the largest] single manufacturer produced [removed: more than 25%] [added: approximately 21%] of our product offerings.
Identifying a suitable supplier is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with its quality control, responsiveness and service, financial stability, and labor and other [removed: ethical practices.]
Any delays, [removed: interruption] [added: interruption,] or increased costs in the supply of fabric or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet guest demand for our products and result in lower net revenue and income from operations both in the short and long term.
[added: These factors may cause us to experience increased costs, reduce] our prices to consumers or experience reduced sales in response to increased prices, any of which could cause our operating margin to decline if we are unable to offset these factors with reductions in operating costs and could have a material adverse effect on our financial [removed: conditions,] [added: condition,] operating [removed: results] [added: results,] and cash flows.
If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop and introduce new, [removed: innovative] [added: innovative,] and updated products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales and profitability.
Our business employs systems and websites that allow for the storage and transmission of [removed: proprietary or confidential information regarding our business, guests and employees including credit card] [added: this] information.
[removed: Security] [added: However, despite our safeguards and security processes and protections, security] breaches could expose us to a risk of loss or misuse of this [removed: information] [added: information,] and [added: could result in litigation and] potential liability.
Any compromise or breach of our security could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant [removed: litigation] [added: legal] and [removed: potential liability] [added: financial exposure,] and damage to our brand and reputation or other harm to our business.
Our information technology systems, websites, and operations of third parties on whom we rely, may encounter damage or disruption or slowdown caused by a failure to successfully upgrade systems, system failures, viruses, computer [removed: "hackers"] [added: "hackers", natural disasters,] or [added: other causes.]
[removed: other causes,] [added: These] could cause information, including data related to guest orders, to be lost or delayed which could, especially if the disruption or slowdown occurred during the holiday season, result in delays in the delivery of products to our stores and guests or lost sales, which could reduce demand for our products and cause our sales to decline.
Any significant disruption in our information technology systems or websites could harm our reputation and credibility, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial [removed: condition] [added: condition,] and results of operations.
Any failure on our part to provide attractive, effective, reliable, user-friendly e-commerce platforms that offer a wide assortment of merchandise with rapid delivery options and that continually meet the changing expectations of [removed: online shoppers could place us at a competitive disadvantage, result in the loss of e-commerce and other sales, harm our reputation with customers, have a material adverse impact on the growth of our e-commerce business globally and could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.]
Our failure to successfully [added: integrate our digital and physical channels and] respond to these risks might adversely [removed: affect sales in] [added: impact] our [removed: e-commerce business,] [added: business and results of operations,] as well as damage our reputation and brands.
In addition, because substantially all of our products are distributed from four locations, our operations could also be interrupted by labor difficulties, extreme or severe weather conditions or by floods, [removed: fires] [added: fires,] or other natural disasters near our distribution centers.
Because many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, distribution, marketing, and other resources than we do, they may be able [removed: to manufacture and sell products based on our fabrics and manufacturing technology at lower prices than we can.]
If we fail to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, the value of our brand could be [removed: diminished] [added: diminished,] and our competitive position may suffer.
Our future success is substantially dependent on the [removed: continued] service of our senior management and [removed: identifying and attracting our next Chief Executive Officer.][added: other key employees.]
[removed: These changes, or] [added: Also,] the loss of services of any of [removed: our other] [added: these] key [removed: executive officers or other members of our senior management team,] [added: employees,] or any negative public perception with respect to these individuals, may be disruptive to, or cause uncertainty in, our business and could have a negative impact on our ability to manage and grow our business effectively.
Our effective income tax rates could be unfavorably impacted by a number of factors, including changes in the mix of earnings amongst countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, [added: new tax interpretations and guidance,] the outcome of income tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world, and any repatriation of unremitted earnings for which we have not previously accrued applicable U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes.
Changes in applicable U.S., Canadian, or other [removed: or] foreign tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, including the possibility of retroactive effect, could affect our income tax expense and profitability, as they [removed: have] [added: did] in fiscal 2017 [added: and fiscal 2018] upon passage of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
We have expanded our operations rapidly since our inception in 1998 and our net revenue has increased from $40.7 million in fiscal 2004 to [removed: $2.6] [added: $3.3] billion in fiscal [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
[removed: We could] be required to continue to expand our sales and marketing, product development and distribution functions, to upgrade our management information systems and other processes and technology, and to obtain more space for our expanding workforce.
This expansion could increase the strain on our resources, and we could experience operating difficulties, including difficulties in hiring, [removed: training] [added: training,] and managing an increasing number of employees.
The United States and the countries in which our products are produced or sold internationally have imposed and may impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions or regulations, or may adversely adjust prevailing quota, [removed: duty] [added: duty,] or tariff levels.
Countries impose, [removed: modify] [added: modify,] and remove tariffs and other trade restrictions in response to a diverse array of factors, including global and national economic and political conditions, which make it impossible for us to predict future developments regarding tariffs and other trade restrictions.
Trade restrictions, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, safeguards, and customs restrictions, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of products available to us or may require us to modify our supply chain organization or other current business practices, any of which could harm our business, financial [removed: condition] [added: condition,] and results of operations.
[added: Factors that could negatively affect our business include a potential significant revaluation] of [added: the currencies used in these countries, which may result in an increase in the cost of] producing products, labor shortage and increases in labor costs, and difficulties in moving products manufactured out of the countries in which they are manufactured and through the ports on the western coast of North America, whether due to port congestion, labor disputes, product regulations and/or inspections or other factors, and natural disasters or health pandemics.
During fiscal [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] approximately [removed: 53%] [added: 58%] of our products were manufactured in South East Asia, approximately [removed: 25%] [added: 21%] in South Asia, approximately [removed: 10%] [added: 12%] in China, approximately 8% in the Americas, and the remainder in other regions.
Additionally, we may be unsuccessful in identifying new markets where our technical athletic apparel and other products and brand image will be [removed: accepted] [added: accepted,] or the performance of our stores will be considered successful.
The labeling, distribution, importation, marketing, and sale of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Product Safety Commission and state attorneys general in the United States, the Competition Bureau and Health Canada in Canada, as well as by various other federal, state, provincial, [removed: local] [added: local,] and international regulatory authorities in the countries in which our products are distributed or sold.
We believe that our trademarks and other proprietary rights have significant value and are important to identifying and differentiating our products from those of our competitors and creating [added: and sustaining demand for our products.]
We have [removed: obtained and] applied for [added: and obtained] some United [removed: States] [added: States, Canada,] and foreign trademark registrations, and will continue to evaluate the registration of additional trademarks as appropriate.
Any of these proceedings could result in significant settlement amounts, damages, [removed: fines] [added: fines,] or other penalties, divert financial and management resources, and result in significant [removed: legal fees.]
Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions of activist [removed: stockholders, and such activism could impact the trading value of our securities.][added: stockholders or others.]
Responding to [added: such] actions [removed: by activist stockholders] can be costly and time-consuming, [removed: disrupting] [added: disrupt] our [removed: operations] [added: business] and [removed: diverting] [added: operations, and divert] the attention of [removed: management] [added: our board of directors, management,] and [added: employees from the pursuit of] our [removed: employees.][added: business strategies.]
Additionally, while we devote considerable efforts and resources to protecting
ethical practices.
Our inability to safeguard against security breaches or our failure to comply with data privacy laws could damage our customer relationships and result in significant legal and financial exposure.
As part of our normal operations, we receive confidential, proprietary, and personally identifiable information, including credit card information, and information about our customers, our employees, job applicants, and other third parties.
The retail industry, in particular, has been the target of many recent cyber-attacks.
Attacks may be targeted at us, our vendors or customers, or others who have entrusted us with information.
In addition, even if we take appropriate measures to safeguard our information security and privacy environment from security breaches, we could still expose our customers and our business to risk.
Measures we implement to protect against cyber-attacks may also have the potential to impact our customers' shopping experience or decrease activity on our websites by making them more difficult to use.
Additionally, the European Union has adopted a comprehensive General Data Privacy Regulation (the "GDPR").
The GDPR requires companies to satisfy new requirements regarding the handling of personal and sensitive data, including its use, protection and the ability of persons whose data is stored to correct or delete such data about themselves.
Failure to comply with GDPR requirements could result in penalties of up to four percent of worldwide revenue.
The GDPR and other similar laws and regulations, as well as any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions, may be costly to comply with, increase our operating costs, require significant management time and attention, and subject us to remedies that may harm our business, including fines, negative publicity, or demands or orders that we modify or cease existing business practices.
The concentration of our primary offices, two of our distribution centers, and a number of our stores along the west coast of North America could amplify the impact of a natural disaster occurring in that area to our business, including to our information technology systems.
online shoppers could place us at a competitive disadvantage, result in the loss of e-commerce and other sales, harm our reputation with customers, have a material adverse impact on the growth of our e-commerce business globally and could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
Changes in consumer shopping preferences and shifts in distribution channels could materially impact our results of operations.
We sell our products through a variety of trade channels, with a significant portion through traditional brick-and-mortar retail channels.
As strong e-commerce channels emerge and develop, we are evolving towards an omni-channel approach to support the shopping behavior of our guests.
This involves country and region specific websites, social media, product notification emails, mobile apps, including mobile apps on in-store devices that allow demand to be fulfilled via our distribution centers, and online order fulfillment through stores.
The diversion of sales from our company-operated stores could adversely impact our return on investment and could lead to store closures and impairment charges.
We could have difficulty in recreating the in-store experience through direct channels.
We could also be exposed to liability for online content.
to manufacture and sell products based on our fabrics and manufacturing technology at lower prices than we can.
The results of any audits or related disputes regarding these restrictions or regulations could have an adverse effect on our financial statements for the period or periods for which the applicable final determinations are made.
There are also uncertainties related to the implementation of the United Kingdom's referendum to withdraw membership from the European Union (referred to as "Brexit").
We could
In addition, any audits and inspections by governmental agencies related to these matters could result in significant settlement amounts, damages, fines, or other penalties, divert financial and management resources, and result in significant legal fees.
An unfavorable outcome of any particular proceeding could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In the last few years, we have had changes to our senior management team including new hires, departures, and role and responsibility changes.
The performance of our senior management team and other key employees may not meet our needs and expectations.
legal fees.
We may be subject to actions or proposals from stockholders or others that may not align with our business strategies or the interests of our other stockholders.
Activist stockholders or others may create perceived uncertainties as to the future direction of our business or strategy which may be exploited by our competitors and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and potential guests, and may affect our relationships with current guests, vendors, investors, and other third parties.

These factors may cause us to experience increased costs, reduce
Our inability to safeguard against security breaches with respect to our information technology systems could disrupt our operations.
Risks specific to our e-commerce business also include diversion of sales from our company-operated stores, difficulty in recreating the in-store experience through direct channels and liability for online content.
On February 2, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer resigned.
In addition to this change, a number of members of our senior management team have left the Company in the last several years.
We may not be successful in identifying and attracting a highly qualified successor to our Chief Executive Officer, and our process to search for the successor may be time-consuming and divert management's attention and resources away from our business.
The search for our next Chief Executive Officer may have a negative impact on our senior management team, business, and financial performance and condition.
We have recorded provisional amounts in fiscal 2017 in relation to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
We may make adjustments to the provisional amounts as additional information is collected and analyzed, and as we complete our assessment of the impact that the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has, if any, upon our reinvestment plans for the accumulated earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
As the Company completes its analysis of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act it may also make adjustments to incorporate any additional interpretations or guidance that may be issued.
The Company may also identify additional effects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that are not reflected as of January 28, 2018.
Any such adjustments may materially impact the provision for income taxes and our effective income tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are made, and in future periods.
Factors that could negatively affect our business include a potential significant revaluation of the currencies used in these countries, which may result in an increase in the cost
and sustaining demand for our products.

Fiscal 2018 was a 53 week year.
Net revenue includes results from the 53rd week; however, total comparable sales, comparable store sales, and changes in direct to consumer net revenue exclude the 53rd week.
We disclose material non-public information through one or more of the following channels: our investor relations website (http://investor.lululemon.com/), the social media channels identified on our investor relations website, press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, and webcasts.
In addition, we were happy to welcome our new CEO, Calvin McDonald.
Net revenue grew 24%, and total comparable sales increased 18%.
We leveraged investments made across the enterprise over the last several years, while at the same time continuing to invest in our future.
We surpassed several of our fiscal 2020 goals in fiscal 2018, two years ahead of schedule.
These include achieving operating margin of 21.5%, gross margin of 55.2%, and e-commerce becoming 26.1% of our global business.
Fueling our performance this year was strength across our product assortment, 13% square footage growth driven by new stores and our remodel program, and a robust e-commerce business.
In addition, our brand activations, local community events, and educators continue to connect us with our guests in a truly unique manner.
Our product design and development teams successfully launched new product innovations, while also leveraging our core product collections and expanding our Office/Travel/Commute category.
We took several steps toward expanding our bra category by launching the Speed Up and Fine Form styles and also the Like Nothing bra, our first bra developed for all day wear.
For men, we launched our Out-of-Mind short liner in our three core styles, rolled out the City Sweat collection, and further expanded our ABC pant offering with a new slim silhouette.
We also expanded our outerwear assortment with more cold weather styles including the Cloudscape jacket for women and Outpour parka for men.
We also expanded our seasonal store strategy this year with approximately 45 seasonal stores in operation during the holiday season.
These stores allow us to better cater to our guests in select markets during the holidays, while also helping introduce new guests into our brand.
As of February 3, 2019, we had 70 stores in Asia Pacific and 21 stores in Europe.
We expanded into two new markets in Europe this year - France and Sweden.
In fiscal 2018, we leveraged the improvements we made to our websites over the past 18 months while continuing to enhance the customer experience.
The sales performance of our e-commerce business was strong throughout the year, with direct to consumer revenues increasing by 45%, excluding the 53rd week of fiscal 2018.
We will continue to leverage our ship-from-store capabilities and build on the early success of our new buy online, pick-up in store initiative.
We are also particularly pleased with our brand activations this year including our 20th birthday celebration, our donations to local community-based organizations via our Here to Be program, including on International Day of Yoga, and our announcement of 100% pay equity which closely followed International Women's Day.
We look forward to continuing this strong momentum into fiscal 2019 fueled by product innovations, new store openings, remodels, and further enhancements to our e-commerce sites and supply chain.
The adjusted financial measures for fiscal 2018 and 2017 exclude the amounts recognized in connection with U.S. tax reform, taxes on the repatriation of foreign earnings, and the restructuring of our ivivva operations and its related tax effects.

We did not hold any online warehouse sales during fiscal 2018.
The increase in net revenue from our other segment was partially offset by lower net revenue from showrooms, primarily due to a decreased number of showrooms open during fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017.
New stores and new store formats, product innovations, and an enhanced e-commerce offering, combined with successful community and brand initiatives helped drive a 13% increase in net revenue.
We had a 7% increase in total comparable sales.
Our product design and development teams launched a number of new category innovations this year.
For women, our newest fabric Everlux was created for high intensity, indoor workouts and the Enlite bra offers guests proprietary technology for running and high impact training.
For men, we expanded our popular ABC pant franchise to include slim and jogger styles, and all of our men's fixed waist bottoms now feature our ABC construction.
Our multiple formats now include standard, co-located, local, and select flagship locations, which allow us to cater to our guests where they live, work, and sweat.
As of January 28, 2018, we had 57 stores in Asia Pacific and 13 stores in Europe, including our European flagship on London's Regent Street which showcases the fullest expression of our brand to both local and travelling guests.
We expanded in Germany in fiscal 2017 with a new location in Munich.
We relaunched our websites at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017, improving the online experience through upgraded visuals, added video content, more intuitive navigation, enhanced storytelling, and the integration of ivivva.
The sales performance of our e-commerce business, which accelerated throughout the year, culminated in a 44% increase in direct to consumer net revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
We complemented our local efforts with our first global marketing campaign "This Is Yoga", followed by men's focused "Strength To Be" and finally, for holiday, "Breathe It All In".
We look forward to continuing this strong momentum into fiscal 2018, focusing on our four key strategic growth pillars: Digital, Men's, North America, and International, underpinned by innovations in product, our distinctive brand and community approach, and our vertically-integrated model.
The adjusted financial measures exclude these items, and also exclude certain discrete items related to our transfer pricing arrangements and taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings which were recognized during the fiscal 2016.

Fiscal 2018 was a 53 week year.
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company's customers.
Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product.
This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.
Direct to consumer revenue and sales to wholesale accounts are recognized upon receipt by the customer.
In certain arrangements the Company receives payment before the customer receives the promised good.
These payments are initially recorded as deferred revenue, and recognized as revenue in the period when control is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is presented net of an allowance for estimated returns, which is based on historic experience.
The Company's liability for sales return refunds is recognized within other current liabilities, and an asset for the value of inventory which is expected to be returned is recognized within other prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Shipping fees billed to customers are recorded as revenue, and shipping costs are recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses in the same period the related revenue is recognized.
Based on historical experience, and to the extent there is no requirement to remit unclaimed card balances to government agencies, an estimate of the gift card balances that will never be redeemed is recognized as revenue in proportion to gift cards which have been redeemed.
See Note 19 of these consolidated financial statements for disaggregated net revenue by channel and geographic area.
The fair value of awards granted is estimated at the date of grant.
Awards settled in cash or common stock at the election of the employee are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement.
Restricted stock units that are settled in cash or common stock at the election of the employee are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement.
This fair value is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the last business day before each period end.
The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 29, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis.
There were no changes to the consolidated statement of operations as a result of the adoption, and the timing and amount of its revenue recognition remained substantially unchanged under this new guidance.
The Company's liability for sales return refunds is recognized within other current liabilities, and the Company now presents an asset for the value of inventory which is expected to be returned within other prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Under the modified retrospective approach, the comparative prior period information has not been restated for this change.
The effect of adoption of ASC 606 on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of February 3, 2019 was as follows:

The seven remaining ivivva branded stores remain in operation and are not expected to close.
This includes retrospectively adjusting the consolidated statements of cash flows for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 to reclassify excess tax benefits (losses) from financing activities to operating activities, as outlined in Note 2 of these consolidated financial statements.
The Company wrote-off $16.4 million, $16.1 million, and $14.2 million of inventory in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016, and fiscal 2015, respectively.
Receipts from the sale of gift cards are treated as deferred revenue.
Amounts received in respect of gift cards are recorded as an unredeemed gift card liability.
Sales of apparel to customers through the Company's retail websites and mobile apps are recognized when delivery has occurred, and collection is reasonably assured, net of an estimated allowance for sales returns.
Sales of apparel to wholesale accounts are recognized when delivery has occurred and collection is reasonably assured.
Outstanding customer balances are included in unredeemed gift card liability on the consolidated balance sheets.
There are no expiration dates on the Company's gift cards, and lululemon does not charge any service fees that cause a decrement to customer balances.
performance-based restricted stock units that have satisfied their performance factor, restricted shares, and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.
In July 2015, the FASB amended ASC Topic 330, Inventory to simplify the measurement of inventory.
The amendments require that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value instead of the lower of cost and market.
In March 2016, the FASB amended ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation simplifying the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.
The new guidance also allows an entity to account for forfeitures when they occur.
The Company adopted this amendment in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures.
The Company is now required to include excess tax benefits and deficiencies as a component of income tax expense, rather than a component of stockholders' equity.
Additionally, the Company retrospectively adjusted its consolidated statements of cash flows for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 to reclassify excess tax benefits (losses) of $1.3 million and $(1.2) million, respectively, from financing activities to operating activities.
This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance.
The FASB has also issued several related updates which are required to be adopted concurrently with ASU 2014-09.
The Company has performed an analysis of the impact of ASC 606 and does not believe that the adoption of this new guidance will materially impact the timing, or amount, of its revenue recognition.
The Company uses the redemption recognition method for recognizing revenue for gift card breakage, and the methodology to be used under ASC 606 is consistent with the Company's past practice.
The Company plans to adopt this guidance on a modified retrospective basis.
This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2019, with early application permitted.
The Company will adopt ASC 842 in its first quarter of fiscal 2019.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, processes, and controls.
