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. The Company organizes its operations into four regional markets: Americas, China Mainland, Asia Pacific ("APAC"), and Europe and the Middle East ("EMEA"). It conducts its business through a number of different channels in each market, including company-operated stores, e-commerce, outlets, temporary locations, wholesale, license and supply arrangements, and a re-commerce program. There were 825 and 811 company-operated stores in operation as of August 2, 2026 and February 1, 2026, respectively.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, including the financial position as of August 2, 2026 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed, 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 February 1, 2026 is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026, which are included in Item 8 in the Company's fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2026. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 2026 will end on January 31, 2027 and will be a 52-week year. Fiscal 2025 was a 52-week year and ended on February 1, 2026. Fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 are referred to as "2026," and "2025," respectively. The first two quarters of 2026 and 2025 ended on August 2, 2026 and August 3, 2025, 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. Events predominantly impacting the Company's international net revenue, such as those related to Lunar New Year and Singles Day, can fall in different fiscal quarters from year to year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs"). ASUs recently issued not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. Entities will be required to provide disaggregated disclosures for certain income statement expense line items. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and will be applied

Table of Contents
retrospectively for periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendment replaces the previous project-stage model with a principles-based approach for capitalizing internal-use software costs. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its accounting policies and related disclosures.

Note 4. Revolving Credit Facilities
Americas Revolving Credit Facility
On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated unsecured revolving credit agreement, which provides for $ 600.0 million in commitments under an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. The credit facility has a maturity date of October 15, 2030, subject to two one-year extensions at the request of the Company. Subject to the conditions stated in the credit agreement, the Company may request increases in aggregate commitments thereunder up to a total of $ 1.0 billion. The credit facility permits prepayment of borrowings and reductions or terminations of commitments from time to time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.
As of August 2, 2026, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility other than $ 6.3 million in outstanding letters of credit and guarantee.
Borrowings made under the credit facility bear interest at variable rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("SOFR"), or an alternate base rate, plus applicable margin. The credit agreement contains customary financial, affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, dispositions of assets, changes in the nature of business, and restrictions on subsidiary dividends and distributions, as well as financial covenants based on leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of August 2, 2026.
Uncommitted Revolving Credit Facilities
The Company has uncommitted revolving credit facilities, including an unsecured Chinese Yuan-denominated revolving credit facility totaling the equivalent of USD $ 44.4 million, which is reviewed annually and provides for short-term borrowing and the issuance of guarantees. As of August 2, 2026, there were no borrowings or guarantees outstanding, letters of credit totaling USD $ 13.7 million were issued, and the Company was in compliance with all applicable terms of the Chinese Yuan-denominated credit facility.
Note 5. 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 August 2, 2026 and February 1, 2026, $ 39.6 million and $ 45.1 million, respectively, were outstanding under the SCF program and presented within accounts payable.
Note 6. 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 $ 49.7 million and $ 21.1 million for the first two quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost for all stock-based compensation plans was $ 173.3 million as of August 2, 2026, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

The Company's performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") awarded to eligible employees during 2026 entitle the grantee to receive a maximum of 2.5 shares of common stock per PSU if the Company achieves specified performance goals and the grantee remains employed during the vesting period. These PSU awards also include a market condition based on total shareholder return ("TSR"), which limits the conversion ratio to one share of common stock per PSU if TSR over the performance period is negative. The fair value of these PSUs was determined at grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Expense for PSUs is recognized when it is probable that the performance goal will be achieved.
The grant date fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model.
The following are weighted averages of the assumptions that were used during the first two quarters of 2026:
Stock Options Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company has also recorded lease termination liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, determined using Level 3 inputs based on remaining lease rentals and reduced by estimated sublease income.
Note 8. Derivative Financial Instruments
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 2026.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
During the first two quarters of 2026, 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.

Note 9. Earnings Per Share
The details of the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
Second Quarter First Two Quarters
2026 2025 2026 2025
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Net income $ 329,223 $ 370,905 $ 524,271 $ 685,477
Basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding 112,898 119,600 114,156 120,116
Assumed conversion of dilutive stock options and awards 21 80 45 146
Diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding 112,919 119,680 114,201 120,262
Basic earnings per share $ 2.92 $ 3.10 $ 4.59 $ 5.71
Diluted earnings per share $ 2.92 $ 3.10 $ 4.59 $ 5.70
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 economic equivalent of common shares in all material respects. All classes of stock have in effect the same economic rights and share equally in undistributed net income. For the first two quarters of 2026 and 2025, 0.3 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.
The Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing up to $ 4.0 billion in aggregate, including $ 1.0 billion initially authorized on November 29, 2023, and additional $ 1.0 billion increases on May 29, 2024, December 3, 2024, and December 3, 2025. This program does not have an expiration date or require a minimum number of shares to be repurchased. Repurchases may be made on the open market at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions, including under plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions, trading eligibility, and other factors. As of August 2, 2026, the remaining authorized amount available under the program, excluding commissions and excise taxes, was $ 712.5 million.
During the first two quarters of 2026 and 2025, 4.9 million and 2.5 million shares, respectively, were repurchased under the programs at a total cost including commissions and excise taxes of $ 695.1 million and $ 715.7 million, respectively.
Subsequent to August 2, 2026, and up to August 28, 2026, 1.0 million shares were repurchased at a total cost including commissions and excise taxes of $ 118.8 million.

Note 11. Segmented Information
The Company reports three segments: Americas, China Mainland, and Rest of World, which is comprised of its non-significant operating segments APAC and EMEA reported on a combined basis.
The Company's segments are based on the financial information the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") uses to evaluate performance and allocate resources. During 2025, the Company's then-chief executive officer ("CEO"), served as CODM. Effective January 31, 2026, the former CEO stepped down, and the Company's chief financial officer and its president and chief commercial officer were appointed as interim co-CEOs and together perform the CODM function during the interim period. On April 21, 2026, the Company entered into an employment agreement to appoint a new CEO effective September 8, 2026. The CODM approves the annual budget on a segment level, and regularly assesses the performance of the Company's segments using key financial metrics, including net revenue and segmented income from operations. The Company does not report capital expenditures and assets by segment as that information is not reviewed by the CODM.

Note 12. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In addition to the legal proceedings described below, the Company is, from time to time, involved in routine legal matters, and audits and inspections by governmental agencies and other third parties which are incidental to the conduct of its business. This includes legal matters such as initiation and defense of proceedings to protect intellectual property rights, employment claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims, and similar matters. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of any such legal proceedings, audits, and inspections is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows; however, litigation and regulatory matters are inherently uncertain, and it is possible that an adverse outcome in one or more matters could have a material impact in a particular reporting period. The Company has recognized immaterial provisions related to the expected outcome of legal proceedings.
On August 8, 2024, lululemon athletica inc. and certain officers of the Company were named as defendants in a purported securities class action ( Patel v. Lululemon Athletica Inc., et al ., No. 1:24-cv-06033) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On March 10, 2025, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false and misleading public statements and omissions by defendants during the period December 8, 2023 to July 24, 2024 relating to lululemon's business, product offerings, and inventory allocation that plaintiffs allege artificially inflated the Company’s stock price. The amended complaint currently seeks unspecified monetary damages. On May 19, 2025, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 31, 2026, the court granted in part and denied in part defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company intends to defend the action vigorously.
Since November 4, 2024, six stockholder derivative complaints have been filed in the United States Court for the Southern District of New York: Bhavsar v.

McDonald et al. , No. 1:24-cv-08839; and Wasserman v. McDonald et al. , No. 1:25-cv-02793 (collectively, the "Derivative Actions."). The complaints in the Derivative Actions are generally based on the same allegations alleged in the securities action complaint and assert claims against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers for, among other things, alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Certain of the Derivative Actions also assert claims based on alleged false and misleading statements during the period October 28, 2020 to April 25, 2024 relating to the Company’s "IDEA" program. The complaints seek, among other things, monetary damages and equitable

Import Tariffs and Related Legal Proceedings
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed under the IEEPA. The U.S. Administration has initiated new tariffs at different rates under alternative legislative powers. The U.S. Administration also confirmed that the IEEPA decision does not impact the removal of the de minimis exemption. The Company has submitted refund claims for eligible IEEPA tariffs paid, including associated interest. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company received $ 134.5 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, which has been recognized in cost of goods sold, and $ 4.1 million of associated interest, which has been recognized in other income (expense), net. However, the ultimate additional amounts that it may be refunded, if any, remain uncertain, and as of August 2, 2026, it has not recognized an asset in relation to further IEEPA tariff refund claims.
