Lululemon revenues increase 30% in FY22

On this episode of Talking Shop, we're joined by Dan Cate, CEO and Founder of SoldThrough. Dan is a heavyweight retail executive who has spent decades steering the merchandising and digital operations of America’s most iconic retail institutions, from Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s to Century 21 and Lord & Taylor. Today, through his platform SoldThrough, Dan helps international fashion brands cross the Atlantic and crack the notoriously brutal U.S. retail landscape. We break down his journey from the shop floor to the C-suite, the operational indicators that prove a brand is truly ready for international expansion, and how to navigate a fragmented American market without destroying your margins. We also discuss how to balance localised inventory with central efficiency, and the one non-negotiable metric that tells you a product has found genuine market fit.

Lululemon’s full-year net revenues have increased by 30% to $8.1bn (£6.6bn), the athleisure company has revealed in its FY22 statement.

Gross profit amounted to $4.4bn (£3.5bn) in 2022 compared to $3.6bn (£2.9bn) the previous year although adjusted net income resulted less than 2021, with $854m (£691m) compared to $975m (£789m).

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $4.40 (£3.56) compared to $3.37 (£2.73) in the fourth quarter of 2021.

In 2022, the apparel company also expanded their portfolio of stores, with 81 new openings throughout the year. 

For the first quarter of 2023, Lululemon has said it expects net revenue to be in the range of $1.8bn (£1.4bn) to $1.9bn (£1.5bn). The company is also planning to launch a new app in the summer which will allow customers to access its digital fitness content for a monthly fee. 

Meghan Frank, chief financial officer, said: “We are pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter, which remained balanced across product categories, channels, and regions. Our ability to exceed our annual revenue target in a dynamic operating environment is a testament to the enduring strength of the lululemon brand.”

Calvin McDonald, chief executive officer, said: “Our continued high level of performance is a reflection of the hard work and agility of our incredible teams and the deep connections they create with our guests and communities around the world. As we enter 2023, we look forward to another year of strong momentum across the globe and delivering on our Power of Three ×2 growth plan.”
