NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of operations
lululemon athletica inc., a Delaware corporation, ("lululemon" and, together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company") is engaged in the design, distribution, and retail of technical athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories, which are sold through company-operated stores, direct to consumer through e-commerce, outlets, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, recommerce, and sales from temporary locations. The Company operates stores in the United States, the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, France, Ireland, Spain, Malaysia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, and Thailand. There were 672 and 655 company-operated stores as of July 30, 2023 and January 29, 2023.
Basis of presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of July 30, 2023 and for the quarters and two quarters ended July 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022 are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared by the Company under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial information is presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and, accordingly, does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial information as of January 29, 2023 is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023, which are included in Item 8 in the Company's fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8 in the Company's fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements sets out the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to January 31 of the following year, typically resulting in a 52-week year, but occasionally giving rise to an additional week, resulting in a 53-week year. Fiscal 2023 will end on January 28, 2024 and will be a 52-week year. Fiscal 2022 was a 52-week year and ended on January 29, 2023. Fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are referred to as "2023," and "2022," respectively. The first two quarters of 2023 and 2022 ended on July 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company's business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to most retail apparel businesses. Historically, the Company has recognized a significant portion of its operating profit in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year as a result of increased net revenue during the holiday season.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial presentation adopted for the current year.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs"). ASUs adopted by the Company during the first two quarters of 2023 not listed below were assessed, and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASC 405-50, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs, to require annual and interim disclosures about the key terms of supplier finance programs used in connection with the purchase of goods and services

Table of Contents
along with information about the obligations under these programs, including the amount outstanding at the end of each reporting period and a rollforward of those obligations. The Company adopted this update during the first quarter of 2023 and the related disclosures are included in Note 4. Revolving Credit Facilities and Supply Chain Financing Program.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
ASUs recently issued were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 3. Gain on Disposal of Assets
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sale of an administrative office building, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $ 10.2 million. The income tax effect of the gain on disposal of assets was an expense of $ 1.7 million.
Note 4. Revolving Credit Facilities and Supply Chain Financing Program
North America revolving credit facility
On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement extending its existing credit facility, which provides for $ 400.0 million in commitments under an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. The credit facility has a maturity date of December 14, 2026, subject to extension under certain circumstances. Borrowings under the credit facility may be prepaid and commitments may be reduced or terminated without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs).
As of July 30, 2023, aside from letters of credit of $ 6.4 million, the Company had no other borrowings outstanding under this credit facility.
Borrowings made under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("SOFR"), or (b) an alternate base rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is determined by reference to a pricing grid, based on the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, and rent ("EBITDAR") and ranges between 1.000 %- 1.375 % for SOFR loans and 0.000 %- 0.375 % for alternate base rate or Canadian prime rate loans. Additionally, a commitment fee of between 0.100 %- 0.200 %, also determined by reference to the pricing grid, is payable on the average daily unused amounts under the credit facility.
The applicable interest rates and commitment fees are subject to adjustment based on certain sustainability key performance indicators ("KPIs"). The two KPIs are based on greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction and gender pay equity, and the Company's performance against certain targets measured on an annual basis could result in positive or negative sustainability rate adjustments of 2.50 basis points to its drawn pricing and positive or negative sustainability fee adjustments of 0.50 basis points to its undrawn pricing.
The credit agreement contains negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, incur liens, undergo fundamental changes, make dispositions of all or substantially all of their assets, alter their businesses and enter into agreements limiting subsidiary dividends and distributions.
The Company's financial covenants include maintaining an operating lease adjusted leverage ratio of not greater than 3.25 :1.00 and the ratio of consolidated EBITDAR to consolidated interest charges (plus rent) of not less than 2.00 :1.00. The credit agreement also contains certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default (including, among others, an event of default upon the occurrence of a change of control). If an event of default occurs, the credit agreement may be terminated, and the maturity of any outstanding amounts may be accelerated. As of July 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.
China Mainland revolving credit facility
In December 2019, the Company entered into an uncommitted and unsecured 130.0 million Chinese Yuan ($ 18.2 million) revolving credit facility with terms that are reviewed on an annual basis. The credit facility was increased to 230.0 million Chinese Yuan ($ 32.2 million) during 2020. It is comprised of a revolving loan of up to 200.0 million Chinese Yuan ($ 28.0 million) and a financial guarantee facility of up to 30.0 million Chinese Yuan ($ 4.2 million), or its equivalent in another currency. Loans are available for a period not to exceed 12 months, at an interest rate equal to the loan prime rate plus a spread of 0.5175 %. The Company is required to follow certain covenants. As of July 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance
10
Table of Contents
with the covenants and, aside from letters of credit of 28.1 million Chinese Yuan ($ 3.9 million), there were no other borrowings or guarantees outstanding under this credit facility.
Supply Chain Financing Program
The Company facilitates a voluntary supply chain financing ("SCF") program that allows its suppliers to elect to sell the receivables owed to them by the Company to a third party financial institution. Participating suppliers negotiate arrangements directly with the financial institution. If a supplier chooses to participate in the SCF program it may request an invoice be paid earlier than it would by the Company, and the financial institution at its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make an early payment to the supplier at a discount. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the arrangement and the Company provides no guarantees to any third parties under the SCF program.
As of July 30, 2023 and January 29, 2023, $ 38.6 million and $ 17.6 million, respectively, was outstanding under the SCF program and presented within accounts payable .
Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation and Benefit Plans
Stock-based compensation plans
The Company's eligible employees participate in various stock-based compensation plans, provided directly by the Company.
Stock-based compensation expense charged to income for the plans was $ 45.2 million and $ 38.8 million for the first two quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost for all stock-based compensation plans was $ 184.3 million as of July 30, 2023, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
A summary of the balances of the Company's stock-based compensation plans as of July 30, 2023, and changes during the first two quarters then ended, is presented below:

The Company's performance-based restricted stock units are awarded to eligible employees and entitle the grantee to receive a maximum of two shares of common stock per performance-based restricted stock unit if the Company achieves specified performance goals and the grantee remains employed during the vesting period. The fair value of performance-based restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Expense for performance-based restricted stock units is recognized when it is probable that the performance goal will be achieved.
The grant date fair value of the restricted shares and restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.

Table of Contents
The grant date fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date is used in the model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company's historical experience. The expected term of the options is based upon the historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to expectations of future employee exercise behavior. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company's common stock for the period corresponding with the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period corresponding with the expected term of the options. The following are weighted averages of the assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value of stock options granted during the first two quarters of 2023:
First Two Quarters
2023
Expected term 3.75 years
Expected volatility 42.35 %
Risk-free interest rate 3.49 %
Dividend yield — %
Employee share purchase plan
The Company's board of directors and stockholders approved the Company's Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP") in September 2007. Contributions are made by eligible employees, subject to certain limits defined in the ESPP, and the Company matches one-third of the contribution. The maximum number of shares authorized to be purchased under the ESPP is 6.0 million shares. All shares purchased under the ESPP are purchased in the open market. During the second quarter of 2023, there were 23.1 thousand shares purchased.
Defined contribution pension plans
The Company offers defined contribution pension plans to its eligible employees. Participating employees may elect to defer and contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to a plan up to limits stated in the plan documents, not to exceed the dollar amounts set by applicable laws. The Company matches 50 % to 75 % of the contribution depending on the participant's length of service, and the contribution is subject to a two year vesting period. The Company's net expense for the defined contribution plans was $ 9.6 million and $ 6.7 million in the first two quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Note 6. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are made using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:
• Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
• Level 2 - defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
• Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety by reference to its lowest level of significant input. As of July 30, 2023 and January 29, 2023, the Company held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Forward currency contract assets 16,707 — 16,707 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Forward currency contract liabilities 25,625 — 25,625 — Other current liabilities
The Company records cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities at cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The Company has short-term, highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, which are invested in AAA-rated money market funds, which include investments in government bonds, and term deposits. The Company records cash equivalents at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate.
The fair values of the forward currency contract assets and liabilities are determined using observable Level 2 inputs, including foreign currency spot exchange rates, forward pricing curves, and interest rates. The fair values consider the credit risk of the Company and its counterparties. The Company's Master International Swap Dealers Association, Inc., Agreements and other similar arrangements allow net settlements under certain conditions. However, the Company records all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value and does not offset derivative assets and liabilities.
Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments
Foreign currency exchange risk
The Company is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to certain of these foreign currency exchange rate risks. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company currently hedges against changes in the Canadian dollar and Chinese Yuan to the U.S. dollar exchange rate and changes in the Euro and Australian dollar to the Canadian dollar exchange rate using forward currency contracts.
Net investment hedges
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange gains and losses which arise on translation of its international subsidiaries' balance sheets into U.S. dollars. These gains and losses are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within stockholders' equity.
The Company holds a significant portion of its assets in Canada and enters into forward currency contracts designed to hedge a portion of the foreign currency exposure that arises on translation of a Canadian subsidiary into U.S. dollars. These forward currency contracts are designated as net investment hedges. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on

changes in forward rates. The Company recorded no ineffectiveness from net investment hedges during the first two quarters of 2023.
The Company classifies the cash flows at settlement of its net investment hedges within investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Company is exposed to gains and losses arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with transactions which are undertaken by its subsidiaries in currencies other than their functional currency. Such transactions include intercompany transactions and inventory purchases. These transactions result in the recognition of certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities which are remeasured to the quarter-end or settlement date foreign currency exchange rate. The resulting foreign currency gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
During the first two quarters of 2023, the Company entered into certain forward currency contracts designed to economically hedge the foreign currency exchange revaluation gains and losses that are recognized by its Canadian and Chinese subsidiaries on specific monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity. The Company has not applied hedge accounting to these instruments and the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company classifies the cash flows at settlement of its forward currency contracts which are not designated in hedging relationships within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Quantitative disclosures about derivative financial instruments
The Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities at their gross fair values within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company's Master International Swap Dealers Association, Inc., Agreements and other similar arrangements allow net settlements under certain conditions. As of July 30, 2023, there were derivative assets of $ 22.3 million and derivative liabilities of $ 15.9 million subject to enforceable netting arrangements.
The notional amounts and fair values of forward currency contracts were as follows:

Net foreign currency exchange and derivative gains (losses) $ 4,303 $ ( 5,897 ) $ 2,924 $ ( 8,532 )
Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the forward currency contracts. The credit risk amount is the Company's unrealized gains on its derivative instruments, based on foreign currency rates at the time of nonperformance.
The Company's forward currency contracts are generally entered into with what the Company believes are investment grade credit worthy and reputable financial institutions that are monitored by the Company for counterparty risk.
The Company's derivative contracts contain certain credit risk-related contingent features. Under certain circumstances, including an event of default, bankruptcy, termination, and cross default under the Company's revolving credit facility, the Company may be required to make immediate payment for outstanding liabilities under its derivative contracts.
Note 8. Earnings Per Share
The details of the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
Second Quarter First Two Quarters
2023 2022 2023 2022
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Net income $ 341,603 $ 289,521 $ 632,008 $ 479,519
Basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding 126,969 127,619 127,108 127,848
Assumed conversion of dilutive stock options and awards 294 287 334 376
Diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding 127,263 127,906 127,442 128,224
Basic earnings per share $ 2.69 $ 2.27 $ 4.97 $ 3.75
Diluted earnings per share $ 2.68 $ 2.26 $ 4.96 $ 3.74
The Company's calculation of weighted-average shares includes the common stock of the Company as well as the exchangeable shares. Exchangeable shares are the equivalent of common shares in all material respects. All classes of stock have, in effect, the same rights and share equally in undistributed net income. For the first two quarters of 2023 and 2022, 0.1 million and 0.1 million stock options and awards, respectively, were anti-dilutive to earnings per share and therefore have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
