Lululemon revises 2025 outlook
Lululemon’s chief financial officer Meghan Frank stated: “In the second quarter, we exceeded expectations on EPS, but revenue fell short of our guidance driven predominantly by our US business. We are also navigating industry-wide challenges, including higher tariff rates.
“In light of these dynamics, we are revising our full year outlook. As we begin the back half of the year, our brand and balance sheet remain strong, and we will continue to exercise financial discipline and strategically invest in our growth potential.”
For 2025, Lululemon now expects net revenue to be in the range of $10.850bn
$11bn, representing growth of 2% to 4%, or 4% to 6% excluding the 53rd week of 2024. Diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $12.77 to $12.97 for the year. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 30%.
The guidance for 2025 includes an estimated reduction in gross profit of approximately $240m, net of currently anticipated mitigation efforts, including vendor savings, and pricing actions, reflecting its current assumptions about higher levels of tariffs on imports into the US and the removal of the de minimis exemption.
For Q3, Lululemon expects net revenue to be in the range of $2.470bn to $2.500bn, representing growth of 3% to 4%. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $2.18 to $2.23 for the quarter. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 30.5%.
McDonald added: “We feel confident in the opportunity ahead and plans we have in place to drive long-term growth.”
