lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) today announced financial
results for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
The summary below provides both GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP
financial measures. The adjusted financial measures exclude certain
costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of MIRROR, and
the related tax effects.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all of the Company's
stores in North America, Europe, and certain countries in Asia
Pacific were temporarily closed during the first quarter of fiscal
2020. The Company began reopening its retail locations in these
markets during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. As of August 2,

fiscal 2020.
- Diluted earnings per share were $0.66 compared to $0.96 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2019. Adjusted diluted earnings per share
were $0.74 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2020 with $523.0
million in cash and cash equivalents and the capacity under its
committed revolving credit facilities was $697.7 million. The
Company had $623.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end
of the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Inventories at the end of the
second quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 36% to $672.8 million
compared to $494.3 million at the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 2019. The Company ended the quarter with 506 stores.
Calvin McDonald, CEO of lululemon stated: "We're pleased with
our overall business results for the second quarter, as lululemon
increasingly lives into its Omni potential. As trends around the
world are shifting to working and sweating from home with an
increased focus on health and wellness, we believe 2020 is likely
an inflection point for retail and for lululemon." McDonald
continued: "We are cautiously optimistic with regard to the second
half of the year as we continue to navigate the uncertain
environment."
Fiscal 2020 Outlook
Due to the impact that COVID-19 is having across the globe, and
the rapid and continuous developments, the Company is not providing
detailed financial guidance for fiscal 2020 at this time.

Comparable Store Sales and Total Comparable Sales
The Company typically believes that investors would find
comparable store sales and total comparable sales useful in
assessing the performance of its business. As the temporary store
closures from COVID-19 have resulted in a significant number of
stores being removed from its comparable store base, the Company
believes total comparable sales and comparable store sales are not
currently representative of the underlying trends of its business.
The Company does not believe these metrics are currently useful to
investors in understanding performance, therefore it has not
included these metrics in this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Constant dollar changes and adjusted financial results are
non-GAAP financial measures. A constant dollar basis assumes the
average foreign exchange rates for the period remained constant
with the average foreign 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 exchange
rates.
Adjusted income from operations, operating margin, income tax
expense, effective tax rates, net income, and diluted earnings per
share exclude items related to the MIRROR acquisition. We exclude
transaction, integration costs, the gain on lululemon's previous
investment in MIRROR, certain acquisition-related compensation
costs, and the related income tax effects of these items. The
acquisition-related compensation costs primarily relate to the
acceleration of vesting of certain stock options upon acquisition,
and to deferred consideration of $57.1 million in which is due to
certain MIRROR employees subject to their continued employment
through various vesting dates up to three years from the
acquisition date. These individuals also receive employment
compensation separate from the deferred amounts that is
commensurate with the services they provide and which we consider
to be normal operating expenses within selling, general and
administrative expenses. We believe these adjusted financial
measures are useful to investors as they provide supplemental
information that enable evaluation of the underlying trend in our
operating performance, and enable a more consistent comparison to
our historical financial information. Further, due to the finite
and discrete nature of these costs, we do not consider them to be
normal operating expenses that are necessary to operate the MIRROR
business and we do not expect them to recur beyond the expiry of
the related vesting periods. Management uses these adjusted
financial measures and constant currency metrics internally when
reviewing and assessing financial performance.
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.
