Lululemon's business development has been marked by segment restructuring and expansion of product offerings. The company has shifted from selling channel-based segments to geographical segments, now reporting three segments: Americas, China Mainland, and Rest of World. Lululemon continues to focus on creating transformative products and experiences, with a comprehensive line of technical athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories. Looking ahead, Lululemon anticipates macroeconomic conditions, including foreign currency fluctuations and consumer purchasing behaviors, to impact its business throughout 2024. The company remains vigilant in monitoring these conditions and consumer demand trends. Lululemon's future plans include continued investment in new stores, remodeling or relocating existing stores, enhancing distribution centers, and advancing technology systems. The company's liquidity is strong, with cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 billion as of April 28, 2024, and it believes that existing cash balances and cash flows from operations will meet liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
