Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

52 rewritten, 40 added, 53 removed, 271 unchanged

Rewritten

[removed: 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, which could be amplified by social media, if we fail to deliver innovative and high quality products acceptable to our guests, or if we face or mishandle a product recall.

Rewritten

Additionally, while we devote considerable effort and resources to protecting our [added: intellectual property, if these efforts are not successful the value of our brand may be harmed.]

[removed: There is uncertainty over] [added: A health event such as] the [removed: impact of] COVID-19 [removed: on the U.S., Canadian,] [added: pandemic could also negatively impact our employees, guests,] and [removed: global economies,] [added: brand by reducing] consumer willingness to visit stores, malls, and lifestyle centers, and employee willingness to staff our [removed: stores as the pandemic continues and if there are future resurgences.][added: stores.]

Rewritten

[removed: The] [added: A global or regional health event such as the] COVID-19 pandemic [removed: also has the potential to] [added: could] significantly [added: and adversely] impact our supply chain if the factories that manufacture our products, the distribution centers where we manage our inventory, or the operations of our logistics and other service providers are disrupted, temporarily closed, or experience worker shortages.

Sophisticated operating system software and applications, such as those offered by [removed: MIRROR,] [added: lululemon Studio,] often have issues that can unexpectedly interfere with the intended operation of hardware or software products.

Rewritten

Rewritten

We operate in a highly competitive market and [removed: the size and resources of some of] our competitors may [removed: allow them to] compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our net revenue and profitability.

Rewritten

Many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including longer operating histories, larger and broader customer bases, more established relationships with a broader set of suppliers, greater brand recognition and greater financial, research and development, store development, [removed: marketing, distribution, and other resources than we do.]

Rewritten

These [added: and other] factors [added: have, and] may [added: in the future,] 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 condition, operating results, and cash flows.

Rewritten

[added: Even if we are successful in anticipating consumer preferences,] our ability to adequately react to and address those preferences will in part depend upon our continued ability to develop and introduce innovative, high-quality products.

Rewritten

Our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products could be affected by many factors, including an increase or decrease in guest demand for our products or for products of our competitors, our failure to accurately forecast guest acceptance of new products, product introductions by competitors, unanticipated changes in general market conditions (for example, because of [removed: unexpected effects on inventory supply] [added: global economic concerns such as inflation, an economic downturn, or delays] and [removed: consumer demand caused by the current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic),] [added: disruptions resulting from local] and [added: international shipping delays and labor shortages), and] weakening of economic conditions or consumer confidence in future economic conditions (for example, because of inflationary pressures, or because of sanctions, restrictions, and other responses related to geopolitical events).

Rewritten

Disruption of our supply chain capabilities due to trade restrictions, political instability, severe weather, natural disasters, public health [removed: crises such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: crises,] war, terrorism, product recalls, labor supply [added: shortages] or stoppages, the financial or operational instability of key suppliers and carriers, changes in diplomatic or trade relationships (including any sanctions, restrictions, and other responses such as those related to current geopolitical events), or other reasons could impair our ability to distribute our products.

Rewritten

Rewritten

[removed: We work] [added: During 2022, we worked] with [removed: a group of] approximately [removed: 65] [added: 45 vendors to manufacture our products and 60] suppliers to provide the [removed: fabrics] [added: fabric] for our products.

Rewritten

[removed: In 2021,] [added: - Approximately] 56% of our fabrics were produced by our top five fabric suppliers, [removed: and] the largest [removed: single manufacturer] [added: of which] produced approximately [removed: 27%] [added: 21%] of fabric used.

Rewritten

[removed: During 2021, approximately 48%] [added: - Approximately 43%] of [added: the fabric used in] our [removed: fabrics] [added: products] originated from Taiwan, 19% from [removed: Mainland China, 11%] [added: China Mainland, 16%] from Sri Lanka, and the remainder from other regions.

Rewritten

Rewritten

Our supply of fabric or manufacture of our products could be disrupted or delayed by [removed: the impact of] [added: economic or political or global] health [removed: pandemics, including the current COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: conditions,] and the related government and private sector responsive actions such as [removed: border] closures, restrictions on product shipments, and travel [removed: restrictions, as well as other economic or political conditions.][added: restrictions.]

Rewritten

In addition, [removed: ocean] freight capacity issues continue to persist worldwide as there is much greater demand for shipping and reduced capacity and equipment.

Rewritten

In addition, [removed: ongoing impacts of the pandemic,] political instability, trade relations, sanctions, [removed: price] inflationary pressure, or other geopolitical or economic conditions could cause raw material costs to increase and have an adverse effect on our future margins.

Rewritten

In addition, our operations could also be interrupted by labor difficulties, [removed: pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic),] [added: pandemics,] the impacts of climate change, extreme or severe weather conditions or by floods, fires, or other natural disasters near our distribution centers.

Rewritten

Factors that could negatively affect our business include [removed: labor shortages and increases in labor costs, labor disputes, pandemics, the impacts of climate change, difficulties and]

Rewritten

[added: labor shortages and increases in labor costs, labor disputes, pandemics, the impacts of climate change, difficulties and] additional costs in transporting products manufactured from these countries to our distribution centers and significant revaluation of the currencies used in these countries, which may result in an increase in the cost of producing products.

Rewritten

In addition, the increased use of employee-owned devices for communications as well as work-from-home [removed: arrangements, such as those implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: arrangements] present additional operational risks to our technology systems, including increased risks of cyber-attacks.

Rewritten

To date, these attacks have not had a material impact on our operations, but they may have [removed: an] [added: a material] impact in the future.

New in FY2022

We may fail to acknowledge or react appropriately to the entry or growth of a viable competitor or disruptive force, and could struggle to continue to innovate, differentiate, and sustain the growth of our brand.

The increasing dominance and presence of our brand may also drive guests towards alternative emerging competitors.

We may not have relevant data to effectively understand and react to consumer preferences and expectations.

New in FY2022

If we are unable to successfully maintain and evolve our unique corporate culture, offer competitive compensation and benefits, and a desirable work model, we may be unable to attract and retain highly qualified individuals to support our business and continued growth.

New in FY2022

Our work model may not meet the needs and expectations of our employees and may not be perceived as favorable compared to other companies.

New in FY2022

We also face risks related to employee engagement and productivity.

New in FY2022

We rely on international suppliers and any significant disruption to our supply chain could impair our ability to procure or distribute our products.

New in FY2022

Based on cost, during 2022:

New in FY2022

Our supply chain capabilities may be disrupted due to these or other factors, such as severe weather, natural disasters, war or other military conflicts, terrorism, labor supply shortages or stoppages, the financial or operational instability of key suppliers or the countries in which they operate, or changes in diplomatic or trade relationships (including any sanctions, restrictions, and other responses to geopolitical events).

New in FY2022

Any significant disruption in our supply chain capabilities could impair our ability to procure or distribute our products, which would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

New in FY2022

A relatively small number of vendors supply and manufacture a significant portion of our products, and losing one or more of these vendors could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our financial condition could be adversely affected by global or regional health events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and related government, private sector, and individual consumer responsive actions.

New in FY2022

The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and other similar legislation may lead to greater supply chain compliance costs and delays to us and to our vendors.

New in FY2022

Generally, exchange transactions by our exchangeable shareholders result in an increase in the amount of paid-up-capital in our Canadian subsidiaries and so increase the amount which can be repatriated free of Canadian withholding taxes.

New in FY2022

During 2022, the net investment in our Canadian subsidiaries, which was not indefinitely reinvested, exceeded the paid-up capital and therefore we have accrued for Canadian withholding taxes on the portion of our net investment which we expect to be unable to repatriate free of withholding tax.

New in FY2022

Absent any transactions by our exchangeable shareholders or any changes to the permanently reinvested amounts, and if our Canadian subsidiaries continues to accumulate profits, we will record additional deferred tax liabilities for Canadian withholding taxes on the amount in excess of the paid-up capital balance, and our effective tax rate will increase.

New in FY2022

As a result, we expect the effective tax rate to increase in 2023.

Dropped from FY2021

COVID-19 negatively impacted our business and operations in 2020.

Dropped from FY2021

While conditions improved in 2021, the extent and duration of ongoing impacts remain uncertain.

Dropped from FY2021

The spread of COVID-19 has caused health officials to impose restrictions and recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, especially when congregating in heavily populated areas, such as malls and lifestyle centers.

Dropped from FY2021

Our stores have experienced temporary closures, and we have implemented precautionary measures in line with guidance from local authorities in the stores that are open.

Dropped from FY2021

We do not know how the measures recommended by local authorities or implemented by us may change over time or what the duration of these restrictions will be.

Dropped from FY2021

Further resurgences in COVID-19 cases, including from variants, could cause additional restrictions, including temporarily closing all or some of our stores again.

Dropped from FY2021

An outbreak at one of our locations, even if we follow appropriate precautionary measures, could negatively impact our employees, guests, and brand.

Dropped from FY2021

There is also uncertainty regarding potential long-term changes to consumer shopping behavior and preferences and whether consumer demand will recover when restrictions are lifted.

Dropped from FY2021

In particular, we have seen disruptions and delays in shipments, and we may see negative impacts to pricing of certain components of our products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dropped from FY2021

The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and its variants and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact, including vaccinations.

Dropped from FY2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted guest shopping preferences away from brick-and-mortar and towards digital platforms.

Dropped from FY2021

In contrast to our grassroots community-based marketing approach, many of our competitors promote their brands through traditional forms of advertising, such as print media and television commercials, and through celebrity endorsements, and have substantial resources to devote to such efforts.

Dropped from FY2021

Our competitors may also create and maintain brand awareness using traditional forms of advertising more quickly than we can.

Dropped from FY2021

Our competitors may also be able to increase sales in their new and existing markets faster than we do by emphasizing different distribution channels than we do, such as catalog sales or an extensive franchise network.

Dropped from FY2021

Even if we are successful in anticipating consumer preferences,

Dropped from FY2021

We may not realize the potential benefits and synergies sought with the acquisition of MIRROR.

Dropped from FY2021

During 2020, we acquired MIRROR as part of our growth plan, which includes driving business through omni-guest experiences.

Dropped from FY2021

The potential benefits of enhancing our digital and interactive capabilities and deepening our roots in the sweatlife might not be realized fully, if at all, or take longer than anticipated to achieve.

Dropped from FY2021

Further, the expected synergies between lululemon and MIRROR, such as those related to our connections with our guests and communities as well as our store and direct to consumer infrastructure, may not materialize.

Dropped from FY2021

A significant portion of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and if our acquisition does not yield expected returns, we may be required to record impairment charges, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

Dropped from FY2021

Our management team has limited experience in addressing the challenges of integrating management teams, strategies, cultures, and organizations of two companies.

Dropped from FY2021

Management also has limited experience outside of the retail industry, including with the specialized hardware and software sold and licensed by MIRROR.

Dropped from FY2021

If MIRROR has inadequate or ineffective controls and procedures, our

Dropped from FY2021

internal control over financial reporting could be adversely impacted.

Dropped from FY2021

The acquisition may not be well received by the customers or employees of either company, and this could hurt our brand and result in the loss of key employees.

Dropped from FY2021

If we are unable to successfully integrate MIRROR, including its people and technologies, or if integration takes longer than planned, we may not be able to manage operations efficiently, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Dropped from FY2021

The acquisition of MIRROR may also divert management time and other resources away from our existing business.

Dropped from FY2021

The acquisition of MIRROR or other strategic investments or acquisitions may not create value and may harm our brand and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Dropped from FY2021

We may not be able to grow the MIRROR business and have it achieve profitability.

Dropped from FY2021

We may be unable to attract and retain subscribers to MIRROR.

Dropped from FY2021

If we do not provide the delivery and installation service that our guests expect, offer engaging and innovative classes, and support and continue to improve the technology used, we may not be able to maintain and grow the number of subscribers.

Dropped from FY2021

We are dependent on technology systems to provide live and recorded classes to our customers with MIRROR subscriptions, to maintain its software, and to manage subscriptions.

Dropped from FY2021

If we experience issues such as cybersecurity threats or actions, or interruptions or delays in our technology systems, the data privacy and overall experience of subscribers could be negatively impacted and could therefore damage our brand and adversely affect our results of operations.

Dropped from FY2021

Competition, including from other in-home fitness providers as well as in-person fitness studios, and trends of consumer preferences, could also impact the level of subscriptions and therefore our results of operations.

Dropped from FY2021

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 $6.3 billion in 2021.

Dropped from FY2021

We may not be able to successfully open new store locations in a timely manner, if at all, which could harm our results of operations.

Dropped from FY2021

Our growth will largely depend on our ability to successfully open and operate new stores.

Dropped from FY2021

We may be unsuccessful in identifying new locations and markets where our technical athletic apparel and other products and brand image will be accepted.

Dropped from FY2021

In addition, we may not be able to open or profitably operate new stores in existing, adjacent, or new markets due to the impact of COVID-19, political instability, inflationary pressures, or other economic conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

New in FY2022

Overview

New in FY2022

In 2019 we announced our Power of Three growth plan which established our goal to double our total net revenue by 2023 and outlined our plans to double men's revenue, double digital net revenue, and to quadruple international net revenue.

New in FY2022

We achieved our goal to double our total net revenue ahead of schedule, and in 2022 we launched our new 5-year growth plan, the Power of Three ×2.

New in FY2022

Our Power of Three ×2 plan leverages the success of our prior growth strategy, and is comprised of three key pillars – Product Innovation, Guest Experience, and Market Expansion.

New in FY2022

We continue to see opportunity to grow our men's, direct to consumer, and international net revenue, while continuing to grow our core businesses.

New in FY2022

2022 was the inaugural year of our new plan and we successfully executed against our goals by delivering 30% net revenue growth.

New in FY2022

Our strength was balanced across channel, region, and merchandise category; and was achieved in a challenging macroeconomic backdrop with ongoing supply chain disruptions.

New in FY2022

We continue to solve for the unmet needs of our guest by bringing new technical innovations into our merchandise assortment.

New in FY2022

In 2022, we expanded our core running category with the launch of Senseknit, a proprietary fabric technology offering zoned compression.

New in FY2022

We entered new activities with our capsule collections for golf, tennis, and hiking.

New in FY2022

And we launched footwear, enabling us to provide a head-to-toe solution to our guests.

New in FY2022

The footwear collection currently includes three technical styles – Blissfeel, Chargefeel, and Strongfeel – all designed specifically for women.

New in FY2022

In addition, we launched a dual gender slide for pre- and post-workouts.

New in FY2022

Our omni operating model allows us to efficiently and effectively serve our guests in the ways most convenient to them – either in store or online.

New in FY2022

We saw strength across both channels in 2022 as net revenue in our company-operated store channel increased 29% and our direct to consumer net revenue increased 33%.

New in FY2022

Community is at the core of our brand.

New in FY2022

In 2022, we continued to engage with guests via in-store events, 10K runs in Atlanta and Houston, ambassador-led activations, and our Summer Sweat Games in China Mainland, among other in-person events.

New in FY2022

In addition, we connect with our community of guests through our connected fitness content provided by lululemon Studio.

New in FY2022

In October 2022, we launched our new two-tier membership program.

New in FY2022

The Essential membership tier is free and provides access to select content, as well as certain benefits in-store and online.

New in FY2022

We rebranded MIRROR to become lululemon Studio, the premium paid tier of the program which offers members a connected fitness experience via in-home hardware.

New in FY2022

As part of our membership launch, we also enhanced the lululemon Studio offering to include access to exclusive content provided by outside studio partners, as well as a discount on lululemon product purchases.

New in FY2022

As concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided the connected fitness industry has experienced challenging market conditions, and as a result we have seen weakening demand for our in-home fitness hardware.

New in FY2022

Hardware unit sales did not meet our expectations during the peak holiday selling period and the reduction in customer acquisition costs was less than anticipated.

New in FY2022

As a result, in the fourth quarter, we reviewed our strategy and we plan to evolve lululemon Studio to focus on digital app-based services.

New in FY2022

Building on the two-tier membership program, we will be expanding the lululemon Studio premium tier by enabling guests to access digital fitness content via a new app, launching in summer 2023, for a lower monthly fee.

New in FY2022

We believe this strategy will enable more guests to experience our digital fitness content, while also building a larger community of guests with a deeper connection to lululemon.

New in FY2022

In 2022 we recognized post-tax charges totaling $442.7 million related to lululemon Studio, including the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment, and provisions against hardware inventory.

New in FY2022

See the section "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates", Goodwill Impairment Assessment below and Note 8.

New in FY2022

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets included in Item 8 of Part II of this report for further information.

New in FY2022

In our international markets, despite certain COVID-19 closures in the PRC, we saw net revenue growth of 35%.

New in FY2022

The summary below compares 2022 to 2021 and provides both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.

New in FY2022

The adjusted financial measures for 2022 exclude $442.7 million of post-tax impairment and other charges recognized in relation to our lululemon Studio business unit (formerly MIRROR) and the post-tax net gain on the sale of an administrative building of $8.5 million.

New in FY2022

The adjusted financial measures for 2021 exclude acquisition-related expenses, and their related tax effects.

New in FY2022

- Total comparable sales increased 25%, or 28% on a constant dollar basis.

New in FY2022

–Comparable store sales increased 16%, or 19% on a constant dollar basis.

Overview - The Power of Three

Dropped from FY2021

In 2021, we continued to execute against our Power of Three growth plan.

Dropped from FY2021

We have achieved some of our key growth goals under this plan two years ahead of schedule.

Dropped from FY2021

These include generating $6 billion in net revenue, doubling our men's net revenue relative to fiscal 2018, and doubling our e-commerce net revenue relative to fiscal 2018 (which we achieved in 2020).

Dropped from FY2021

We have seen the trends that we believe have fueled our business over the last few years continue.

Dropped from FY2021

We achieved these goals while strategically managing a number of challenges related to the COVID-19 environment, including stores closures, capacity constraints, and challenges across our supply chain including certain supplier factory closures, port slowdowns, and reduced air freight capacity.

Dropped from FY2021

Our lens for product development and innovation continues to be what we refer to as the Science of Feel.

Dropped from FY2021

In 2021, we continued to bring technical innovations to our guests including expanding our Yoga offering with the launch of our Instill franchise, made from our SmoothCover fabric; we continued to build out our high support bra offerings with the launch of the Air Support bra, our most tested bra to date, which took five years to research and develop and is made from our Ultralu fabric; and for men we launched the versatile License to Train short, made from our High Impact Swift Pique fabric and further built out our On The Move offering with the Bowline bottom.

Dropped from FY2021

We are also particularly proud of our multi-year collaboration with the Canadian Olympic Committee and Paralympic Committee.

Dropped from FY2021

This collaboration allows us to showcase the lululemon brand and our technical expertise within apparel on the world stage; and we believe it is a compelling platform that we can leverage to continue to grow our brand presence both inside and outside of Canada.

Dropped from FY2021

We continue to see benefits from our omni business model and in 2021, net revenue in our company-operated store channel increased 70% and our e-commerce business increased 22%.

Dropped from FY2021

We engaged with our guests both in real life (where and when it was safe to do so) and virtually.

Dropped from FY2021

In our digital business, we continued to see the benefits of the investments we have made over the last several years, while we continue to invest in our websites and mobile apps as we work to elevate the guest

experience.

Dropped from FY2021

In 2021, we continued to make foundational investments which included expanding our accepted payment methods, improving our storytelling, making search more predictive, and making the checkout process more seamless.

Dropped from FY2021

When looking at MIRROR, we continue to focus on strategies and initiatives which we believe will allow us to build our community and increase guest loyalty.

Dropped from FY2021

These include setting up MIRROR shop-in-shops in approximately 200 stores in North America, including launching in Canada, and continuing to enhance the offering with new classes and connected accessories.

Dropped from FY2021

In our international markets, we saw revenue growth of 53%, which keeps us on track with our goal to quadruple the business from 2018 levels by 2023.

Dropped from FY2021

COVID-19 Update

Dropped from FY2021

COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy and cause disruption and volatility.

Dropped from FY2021

We believe we will continue to experience differing levels of disruption and volatility, market by market.

Dropped from FY2021

The pandemic has also impacted our product manufacturers and our distribution and logistics providers.

Dropped from FY2021

There has been disruption in transportation and port congestion, an increase in freight costs, and we have increased our use of air freight.

Dropped from FY2021

We expect this disruption and increased costs to continue throughout fiscal 2022.

Dropped from FY2021

The summary below compares 2021 to 2020:

Dropped from FY2021

- Company-operated stores net revenue increased 70% to $2.8 billion.

Dropped from FY2021

- Acquisition-related expenses of $41.4 million were recognized in 2021 compared to $29.8 million in 2020.

Dropped from FY2021

This includes $40.0 million and $26.7 million of after-tax costs related to the MIRROR acquisition in 2021 and 2020, respectively, which reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.30 and $0.20 in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Dropped from FY2021

The increase in net revenue was primarily due to increased company-operated store net revenue, which was the result of more extensive temporary store closures and COVID-19 operating restrictions that were in place during 2020.

*Company-Operated Stores.* The increase in net revenue from our company-operated stores segment was primarily due to most of our stores being open throughout 2021, while almost all were temporarily closed for a significant portion of the first two quarters of 2020, and open with reduced operating hours and occupancy restrictions for the last two quarters of 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

Dropped from FY2021

During the second quarter of 2020, we held an online warehouse sale in the United States and Canada which generated net revenue of $43.3 million.

Dropped from FY2021

We did not hold any warehouse sales during 2021.

Dropped from FY2021

*Other.* The increase in other net revenue was primarily due to most of our outlet and pop up locations being open throughout 2021, while almost all were temporarily closed for a significant portion of the first two quarters of 2020, and open with reduced operating hours and occupancy restrictions for the last two quarters of 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

Rewritten

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the inventory provision is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management in determining the estimated net realizable value of inventories that are obsolete, have quality issues, or are damaged, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to the [removed: estimate.][added: inventory provision.]

Rewritten

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the review of the [added: inventory] provision including the assumptions used.

Rewritten

These procedures also included, among [removed: others:] [added: others,] (i) observing the physical condition of inventories during inventory counts; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of management’s process for developing the estimates of net realizable value; (iii) testing the reliability of reports used by management by agreeing to underlying records; (iv) testing the reasonableness of the assumptions about quality, damages, future demand, selling prices and market conditions by considering historical trends and consistency with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit; and (v) corroborating the assumptions with individuals within the product team.
