Christine Day, lululemons CEO stated: We are very pleased with the growing sales momentum in our
business which has accelerated as the economy has improved and with some of our key initiatives
which have taken hold, such as expanding our running line, elevated product to give more value to
our customers, and our e-commerce launch. Our 29% comparable-store sales increase reflects the
strength of the lululemon brand driven by our quality, design, product innovation and
unique positioning.
Updated Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we expect net revenue to be in the range of $125 million to
$130 million based on a comparable-store sales increase in the upper 20% range on a constant-dollar
basis. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of
$0.18 to $0.20 for the
quarter. This assumes a tax rate of 35% and 71.7 million diluted weighted-average shares
outstanding.
For
fiscal 2010, we expect net revenue to be in the range of $540 million
to $585 million and diluted earnings per share are expected to be in
the range of $1.00 to $1.05 for
the full year. This assumes a tax rate of 35% and 72.5 million diluted weighted-average shares
outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Constant-dollar net revenue changes, which exclude the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates,
is not a United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) performance measure. We provide
constant-dollar net revenue changes because we use the measure to understand the underlying growth
rate of revenue excluding the impact on a quarter-by-quarter basis of changes in foreign exchange
rates, which are not under managements direct control. We believe that disclosing net revenue
changes on a constant-dollar basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better
understand the level of growth of our business.
