IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES</span></p>\n<p><b>Robust sales, but keep an eye on costs</b></p>\n<p>Investors will be paying close attention to management's remarks on the company's supply chain. Several companies are reporting issues with material shortages and rising costs to ship products. Inventory levels for the second quarter should hold clues whether this is an issue at Lululemon. At the end of the last quarter, the company reported $733 million in inventory on hand, a 17% increase from year-ago levels -- something that should ease immediate concerns.</p>\n<p>The good news coming out of supply shortages across the industry is fewer companies are offering discounts and promotions, which means more products are getting sold at, or near, full price. It remains to be seen if higher merchandise margins will be enough to offset increasing costs for materials and freight.</p>\n<p>And since supply chain shortages are still being felt across industries, shareholders will want to observe the company's inventory level at the end of Q2. If the company makes robust sales but fails to replenish its inventory, it could hurt sales for the next quarter or two.</p>\n<p>Revenue increased by 88% in its most recent quarter. Of course, this was compared to weaker figures from the same time last year when many of its stores were still closed. Still, looking back over two years, company-operated store revenue was 3% higher. Meanwhile, e-commerce revenue increased by 55% from last year.</p>\n<p><b>Digital sales still hold key</b></p>\n<p>Lululemon has a robust digital channel where e-commerce sales totaled 44% of revenue in the most recent quarter. This is relevant as digital sales are direct-to-customer sales that eliminate another retailer in between and hence increases profit margins. In contrast, rival <b>Nike</b>(NYSE:NKE) often sells its products through retailers like <b>Nordstrom</b> and <b>Macy's</b>. Nike has to sell its products to the aforementioned chains at lower prices so they can make a profit, too, and that eats into Nike's margins.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Lululemon averaged an operating profit margin of 21.2% over the last decade, while Nike averaged 13.2%. And during the same time, Lululemon is growing revenue at more than double the rate Nike has. The higher profit margin can partly be attributed to its robust digital channel, while the higher growth is partly due to starting from a smaller revenue base.</p>\n<p><b>What this could mean for investors</b></p>\n<p>Analysts on Wall Street expect Lululemon to report revenue of $1.33 billion and earnings per share of $1.18 in the second quarter. If the company reports the estimated EPS growth, it would be a 59% increase from the year prior.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be233d02a651cbd2f9d1a7a769c3cd9d\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1247\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>DATA SOURCE: YCHARTS.</span></p>\n<p>With the worst of the pandemic behind it, Lululemon looks to be in a great position. It's trading at a forward P/E of 58, compared to 38 for Nike (see chart).
