# Lululemon Athletica: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Lululemon Athletica reports revenue across 3 business segments in its fiscal 2026 Form 10-K. Americas is the largest, with $7.8 billion of revenue (71% of the total), followed by China Mainland at $1.8 billion (16%). 57% of revenue came from the United States.

## How Does Lululemon Athletica Make Money?

Americas supplies 71% of revenue, so Lululemon Athletica's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2025 and 2026, China Mainland grew fastest (+28.9%) and Americas slowest (-1.0%), so the revenue mix tilts toward China Mainland while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Americas | $7.8 billion | $7.9 billion | 70.7% | -1.0% |
| China Mainland | $1.8 billion | $1.4 billion | 15.8% | 28.9% |
| Other Country | $1.5 billion | $1.3 billion | 13.5% | 15.6% |

## Which Lululemon Athletica Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2026 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Americas | $2.6 billion | 32.6% |
| China Mainland | $701 million | 40.0% |
| Other Country | $346 million | 23.0% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure Lululemon Athletica reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within Lululemon Athletica more safely than against another company.

## What Does Lululemon Athletica Sell?

Lululemon Athletica also breaks revenue down by product and service line, which shows what customers pay for rather than how management organizes the business.

| Product or service | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Womens Apparel | $7.0 billion | $6.7 billion | 63.0% | 4.5% |
| Mens Apparel | $2.7 billion | $2.6 billion | 24.0% | 4.1% |
| Accessories and Other Categories | $1.4 billion | $1.3 billion | 13.0% | 7.9% |

## Where Does Lululemon Athletica's Revenue Come From?

Regions follow the definitions in the filing; most companies assign revenue by customer location.

| Region | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States | $6.3 billion | $6.5 billion | 57.0% | -2.4% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Lululemon Athletica's reported revenue for fiscal 2026; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Lululemon Athletica reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed March 17, 2026 (accession 0001397187-26-000020), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2026; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
