Lululemon's gross profit declined by 110 basis points due to higher tariffs and markdowns, with U.S. revenue expected to drop 1-2% while China grows 20-25%, CFO stated.
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.
