Insights
The reported increase in lululemon's net revenue by 19% to $9.6 billion and the rise in diluted EPS from $6.68 to $12.20 for the fiscal year suggest robust growth for the company. Particularly noteworthy is the international net revenue jump of 54%, indicating successful expansion efforts. The gross margin improvement of 290 basis points to 58.3% reflects effective cost management and could signal a competitive advantage in the athletic apparel industry, where margins are often squeezed by promotional activities and manufacturing costs.
Moreover, the opening of 56 new stores and a share repurchase program indicate a proactive strategy for growth and shareholder value enhancement. It's essential to monitor how these expansions impact operating costs and whether the company can maintain its gross margins with a larger retail footprint. The share repurchase program also suggests confidence in the company's valuation and future performance. The repurchase of 1.5 million shares for $554.6 million could be a sign of under-valuation or a strategic move to reduce share dilution.
An operating margin increase to 22.2% from the previous year's figure demonstrates strong operational efficiency and financial discipline. This performance is particularly impressive considering the challenges faced by many retailers, including increased competition and shifting consumer preferences. The effective tax rate reduction to 28.8% from 35.9% also contributed to the bottom line, highlighting the impact of fiscal management on profitability.
The company's liquidity position, with $2.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, provides financial flexibility and the ability to weather potential market downturns. This strong balance sheet position, coupled with the decreased inventory levels by 9%, suggests that lululemon is effectively managing its stock to align with demand, mitigating the risk of overstocking which can lead to markdowns and margin erosion.
The reported comparable sales increase of 13% reflects a solid consumer demand for lululemon's products. The differentiation in the marketplace mentioned by the CFO, likely referring to the brand's premium positioning and community engagement, is a critical factor in driving these sales. The omni operating model, which integrates in-store and online sales channels, appears to be effectively capturing customer engagement across different platforms.
Looking ahead, the projected net revenue growth of 11% to 12% for 2024, with diluted EPS in the range of $14.00 to $14.20, sets a positive tone for the upcoming fiscal year. However, the guidance does not account for share repurchases, which could further affect EPS calculations. It's important to assess whether the growth momentum can be sustained amid economic uncertainties and increased competition in the athleisure market.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Constant dollar changes and adjusted financial results are non-GAAP financial measures.
A constant dollar basis assumes the average foreign currency exchange rates for the period remained constant with the average foreign currency exchange rates for the same period of the prior year. The Company provides constant dollar changes in its results to help investors understand the underlying growth rate of net revenue excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Adjusted gross profit, gross margin, income from operations, operating margin, income tax expense, effective tax rates, net income, and diluted earnings per share exclude certain inventory provisions, goodwill and other asset impairments, and restructuring costs recognized in relation to lululemon Studio, the gain on disposal of assets for the sale of an administrative office building, and the related income tax effects of these items.
The Company believes these adjusted financial measures are useful to investors as they provide supplemental information that enable evaluation of the underlying trend in its operating performance, and enable a comparison to its historical financial information. Further, due to the finite and discrete nature of these items, it does not consider them to be normal operating expenses that are necessary to run the business, or impairments or disposal gains that are expected to arise in the normal course of its operations. Management uses these adjusted financial measures and constant currency metrics internally when reviewing and assessing financial performance.
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to January 31st 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 and 2022 were each 52-week years while 2024 will be a 53-week year. The expected net revenue increase excluding the 53rd week excludes the expected net revenue for the 53rd week of 2024. This enables an evaluation of the expected year-over-year increase in net revenue based on 52 weeks in each year.
The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or with greater prominence to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in the accompanying financial tables, which includes more detail on the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure, and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
