Lululemon Athletica Q2 FY2025 Earnings Call Transcript - Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:LULU)

  • Lululemon Athletica, a Vancouver-based clothing retailer, reported second-quarter 2025 net revenue of US$2.53 billion, up seven percent year-over-year.
  • The company adjusted its 2025 guidance due to increased tariffs, including the recent removal of the de minimis exemption, and softer US consumer demand.
  • Despite a 220 basis point expected gross margin decrease and supply chain headwinds, international business remained strong with 25 percent revenue growth in China.
  • CEO Calvin McDonald acknowledged the quarter’s disappointing results but emphasized confidence that the brand will achieve stronger performance moving forward.
  • Lululemon intends to maintain its focus on strategic investments and cost reduction measures to address tariff-related challenges, anticipating total revenue for 2025 to fall within a range of approximately $10.85 billion to $11 billion.
