Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Nature of operations lululemon athletica inc., a Delaware corporation, ("lululemon" and, together with its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company") is engaged in the design, distribution, and retail of healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel, which is sold through a chain of company-operated stores, direct to consumer through e-commerce, outlets, showrooms, sales to wholesale accounts, warehouse sales, sales from temporary locations, and license and supply arrangement net revenue. The Company operates stores in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, and Puerto Rico. There were 363 , 302 , and 254 company-operated stores in operation as of January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , respectively. Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company during the three-year period ended January 31, 2016 . The consolidated financial statements have been presented in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to January 31 of the following year, typically resulting in a 52 week year, but occasionally giving rise to an additional week, resulting in a 53 week year. Fiscal 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 were each 52 week years. Fiscal 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 ended on January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , respectively. The Company's business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to most retail apparel businesses. Historically, the Company has recognized a significant portion of its operating profit in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year as a result of increased net revenue during the holiday season. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial presentation adopted for the current year.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of lululemon athletica inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank balances and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes its credit risk to be minimal. Accounts receivable Accounts receivable primarily arise out of sales to wholesale accounts, landlord lease inducements, and license and supply arrangements. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management's best estimate of probable credit losses in accounts receivable. Receivables are written off against the allowance when management believes that the amount receivable will not be recovered. As of January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , the Company recorded an insignificant allowance for doubtful accounts. Inventories Inventories, consisting of finished goods, inventories in transit, and raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost and market value. Cost is determined using weighted-average costs. For finished goods, market is defined as net realizable value, and for raw materials, market is defined as replacement cost. Cost of inventories includes all costs incurred to deliver inventory to the Company's distribution centers including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty and other landing costs. The Company makes provisions as necessary to appropriately value obsolete or damaged goods. The amount of the provision is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand, selling prices and market conditions. In fiscal 2015 , the Company wrote-off $14,247 of inventory, and in fiscal 2014 the Company wrote-off $12,361 of inventory. In addition, the Company provides for inventory shrinkage based on historical trends from actual physical inventory counts. Inventory shrinkage estimates are made to reduce the inventory value for lost or stolen items. The Company performs physical inventory counts and cycle counts throughout the year and adjusts the shrink reserve accordingly. Property and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Direct internal and external costs related to software used for internal purposes which are incurred during the application development stage or for upgrades that add functionality are capitalized. All other costs related to internal use software are expensed as incurred. Depreciation commences when an asset is ready for its intended use. Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset, which is estimated to be 20 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the length of the lease and the estimated useful life of the improvement, to a maximum of five years. All other property and equipment are depreciated using the declining balance method as follows: Furniture and fixtures 20 % Computer hardware and software 30 % Equipment and vehicles 30 % Goodwill and intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Reacquired franchise rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years. Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the acquisition-date fair value of the Company's previously held equity interest over the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment or more frequently when an event or circumstance indicates that goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets might be impaired. The Company's operating segment for goodwill is its company-operated stores. Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, held for use are evaluated for impairment when the occurrence of events or a change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable as measured by comparing their carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by their use and eventual disposition. Impaired assets are recorded at fair value, determined principally by discounting the future cash flows expected from their use and eventual disposition. Reductions in asset values resulting from impairment valuations are recognized in income in the period that the impairment is determined. Leased property and equipment The Company leases stores, distribution centers, and administrative offices. Minimum rental payments, including any fixed escalation of rental payments and rent premiums, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the possession date. Rental costs incurred during a construction period, prior to store opening, are recognized as rental expense. Deferred lease inducements, which include leasehold improvements paid for by the landlord and rent free periods, are recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and recognized as a reduction of rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between the recognized rental expense and the total rental payments paid is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a deferred lease liability or a prepaid lease asset. Contingent rental payments based on sales are recorded in the period in which the sales occur. The Company recognizes a liability for the fair value of asset retirement obligations ("AROs") when such obligations are incurred. The Company's AROs are primarily associated with leasehold improvements which, at the end of a lease, the Company is contractually obligated to remove in order to comply with the lease agreement. At the inception of a lease with such conditions, the Company records an ARO liability and a corresponding capital asset in an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the obligation. The liability is estimated based on a number of assumptions requiring management's judgment, including store closing costs, cost inflation rates and discount rates, and is accreted to its projected future value over time. The capitalized asset is depreciated using the convention for depreciation of leasehold improvement assets. Upon satisfaction of the ARO conditions, any difference between the recorded ARO liability and the actual retirement costs incurred is recognized as an operating gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes a liability for a cost associated with a lease exit or disposal activity when such obligation is incurred. A lease exit or disposal liability is measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Company estimates fair value at the cease-use date of its operating leases as the remaining lease rentals, reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property, even where the Company does not intend to enter into a sublease. Estimating the cost of certain lease exit costs involves subjective assumptions, including the time it would take to sublease the leased location and the related potential sublease income. The estimated accruals for these costs could be significantly affected if future experience differs from the assumptions used in the initial estimate. Deferred revenue Receipts from the sale of gift cards are treated as deferred revenue. Amounts received in respect of gift cards are recorded as unredeemed gift card liability. When gift cards are redeemed for apparel, the Company recognizes the related revenue. Revenue recognition Net revenue is comprised of company-operated store net revenue, direct to consumer sales through www.lululemon.com , www.ivivva.com and other country and region specific websites, and other net revenue, which includes outlet sales, showroom sales, sales to wholesale accounts, warehouse sales, sales from temporary locations, and license and supply arrangement net revenue, which consists of royalties as well as sales of the Company's products to licensees. Sales to customers through company-operated stores are recognized at the point of sale, net of discounts and an estimated allowance for sales returns. Sales of apparel to customers through the Company's retail internet sites are recognized when delivery has occurred, and collection is reasonably assured, net of an estimated allowance for sales returns. Sales of apparel to wholesale accounts are recognized when delivery has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. All revenue is reported net of sales taxes collected for various governmental agencies. Revenue from the Company's gift cards is recognized when tendered for payment, or upon redemption. Outstanding customer balances are included in unredeemed gift card liability on the consolidated balance sheets. There are no expiration dates on the Company's gift cards, and lululemon does not charge any service fees that cause a decrement to customer balances. While the Company will continue to honor all gift cards presented for payment, management may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain card balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent management determines there is no requirement for remitting card balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, card balances may be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in net revenue. For the years ended January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , net revenue recognized on unredeemed gift card balances was $3,647 , $1,468 , and $4,654 , respectively. Cost of goods sold Cost of goods sold includes: • the cost of purchased merchandise, which includes acquisition and production costs including raw material and labor, as applicable; • the cost incurred to deliver inventory to the Company's distribution centers including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty and other landing costs; • the cost of the Company's distribution centers (such as labor, rent and utilities) and the depreciation related to the Company's distribution centers; • the cost of the Company's production, design, distribution and merchandising departments including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits, and other expenses; • occupancy costs such as minimum rent, contingent rent where applicable, property taxes, utilities and depreciation expense for the Company's company-operated store locations; • hemming; and • shrink and inventory provision expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of all operating costs not otherwise included in cost of goods sold. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs of corporate and store-level wages and benefits, costs to transport the Company's products from the distribution facilities to the Company's sales locations and e-commerce guests, professional fees, marketing, information technology, human resources, accounting, corporate facility and occupancy costs, and depreciation and amortization expense other than in cost of goods sold. For the years ended January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , the Company incurred transportation costs of $40,586 , $35,901 , and $31,296 , respectively. Store pre-opening costs Operating costs incurred prior to the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred. Income taxes The Company follows the liability method with respect to accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for tax losses, tax credit carry forwards, and other tax attributes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when these differences are anticipated to reverse. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The evaluation as to the likelihood of realizing the benefit of a deferred income tax asset is based on the timing of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, taxable income forecasts, and tax-planning strategies. The recognition of a deferred income tax asset is based upon several assumptions and forecasts, including current and anticipated taxable income, the utilization of previously unrealized non-operating loss carry forwards, and regulatory reviews of tax filings. Given the judgments and estimates required and the sensitivity of the results to the significant assumptions used, the Company believes the accounting estimates used in relation to the valuation of deferred income tax assets are subject to measurement uncertainty and are susceptible to a material change if the underlying assumptions change. The Company provides for taxes at the enacted rate applicable for the appropriate tax jurisdiction. U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which the Company has determined to be indefinitely reinvested have not been recognized. Management periodically assesses the need to utilize these undistributed earnings to finance foreign operations. This assessment is based on the cash flow projections and operational and fiscal objectives of each of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Such estimates are inherently imprecise since many assumptions utilized in the projections are subject to revision in the future. The Company evaluates its tax filing positions and recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is considered more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. This determination requires the use of significant judgment. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which an uncertain tax position is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, facts or circumstances change, tax laws change, or new information becomes available. The Company's policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as part of other (expense) income, net. Currency translation The functional currency for each entity included in these consolidated financial statements that is domiciled outside of the United States is generally the applicable local currency. Assets and liabilities of each foreign entity are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Net revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate in effect during the period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is included in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss included in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency with any resulting gains and losses recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses, except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income or loss. The aggregate foreign exchange gains (losses) included in selling, general and administrative expenses amount to $11,958 , $6,372 , and $17,314 for the years ended January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , respectively. Fair value of financial instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted. Concentration of credit risk The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with high quality financial institutions. Accounts receivable are primarily from wholesale accounts, for landlord lease inducements, and from license and supply arrangements. The Company does not require collateral to support the accounts receivable; however, in certain circumstances, the Company may require parties to provide payment for goods prior to delivery of the goods. The accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is established based on management's assessment of the credit risk of the underlying accounts. Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method. The fair value of awards granted is estimated at the date of grant and is recognized as employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period with the offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. For awards with service and/or performance conditions, the amount of compensation expense recognized is based on the number of awards expected to vest and is adjusted to reflect those awards that do ultimately vest. For awards with performance conditions, the Company recognizes the compensation expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition at each reporting date. The fair value of the restricted shares, performance-based restricted stock units, and restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the award date. Earnings per share Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common and exchangeable shares outstanding during the period. Exchangeable shares are the equivalent of common shares in all material respects. All classes of stock have in effect the same rights and share equally in undistributed net income. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, performance-based restricted stock units that have satisfied their performance factor, restricted shares, and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in legal proceedings regarding contractual and employment relationships and a variety of other matters. The Company records contingent liabilities resulting from claims against us, when a loss is assessed to be probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition , including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and expands the related disclosure requirements. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for public companies to years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted only as of years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB amended ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") for share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early application is permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB amended ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software ("ASC 350-40") to provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. This guidance requires that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early application is permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB amended ASC Topic 330, Inventory ("ASC 330") to simplify the measurement of inventory. The amendments require that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value instead of the lower of cost and market. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB amended ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this update require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early application is permitted. The Company early adopted this standard retrospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, with no significant impact to its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016 the FASB issued ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842") to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation plans The Company's employees participate in various stock-based compensation plans which are provided by the Company directly. In June 2014, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of the lululemon athletica inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan"). The 2014 Plan provides for awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock purchase rights, restricted share bonuses, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance-based restricted stock units, cash-based awards, other stock-based awards, and deferred compensation awards to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees), consultants, and directors of the Company. The awards granted under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan ("2007 Plan") remain outstanding and continue to vest under their original conditions. No further awards will be granted under the 2007 Plan. The Company has granted stock options, performance-based restricted stock units, restricted stock units, and restricted shares. Stock options granted to date generally have a four -year vesting period, vest at a rate of 25% each year on the anniversary date of the grant, and expire seven years from the date of grant. Performance-based restricted stock units issued generally vest three years from the grant date and restricted shares generally vest one year from the grant date. Restricted stock units granted generally have a three -year vesting period and vest at a certain percentage each year on the anniversary date of the grant. The Company's policy is to issue shares from treasury upon the exercise of Company options, vesting of performance-based restricted stock units or restricted stock units, and granting of restricted shares. Stock-based compensation expense charged to income for the plans was $10,356 , $8,269 , and $10,087 for the years ended January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost for all stock-based compensation plans was $30,263 as of January 31, 2016 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years , and was $25,720 as of February 1, 2015 over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years . Employee stock purchase plan The Company's board of directors and stockholders approved the Company's Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP") in September 2007. Contributions are made by eligible employees, subject to certain limits as defined in the ESPP, and the Company matches one-third of the contribution. The maximum number of shares available under the ESPP is 6,000 shares. During the year ended January 31, 2016 , there were 116 shares purchased under the ESPP in the open market.

The Company's performance-based restricted stock units are awarded to eligible employees and entitle the grantee to receive a maximum of two shares of common stock per performance-based restricted stock unit if the Company achieves specified performance goals and the grantee remains employed during the vesting period. The fair value of performance-based restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the award date. Expense for performance-based restricted stock units is recognized when it is probable that the performance goal will be achieved. The fair value of the restricted shares and restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the award date.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company's historical experience. The expected term of the options is based upon historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to expectations of future employee behavior. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company's common stock for the period corresponding with the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period corresponding with the expected term of the options. The Company began using its own historical data in fiscal 2014 to determine the assumptions; prior to fiscal 2014, the assumptions were based upon a review of a peer group of publicly traded apparel retailers. The following assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock options granted in fiscal 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 : Stock Options Granted During the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2016 February 1, 2015 February 2, 2014 Expected term 4.00 years 4.00 years 4.06 years Expected volatility 42.73 % 45.93 % 64.65 % Risk-free interest rate 0.98 % 1.04 % 0.72 % Dividend yield — % — % — %

Earnings Per Share	EARNINGS PER SHARE The details of the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2016 February 1, 2015 February 2, 2014 Net income $ 266,047 $ 239,033 $ 279,547 Basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding 140,365 143,935 144,913 Assumed conversion of dilutive stock options and awards 245 363 1,130 Diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding 140,610 144,298 146,043 Basic earnings per share $ 1.90 $ 1.66 $ 1.93 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.89 $ 1.66 $ 1.91 The Company's calculation of weighted-average shares includes the common stock of the Company as well as the exchangeable shares. Exchangeable shares are the equivalent of common shares in all material respects. All classes of stock have in effect the same rights and share equally in undistributed net income. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , 64 , 296 , and 57 stock options and awards, respectively, were anti-dilutive to earnings per share and therefore have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. On June 11, 2014, the Company's board of directors approved a program to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock up to an aggregate value of $450,000 . The common stock is repurchased in the open market at prevailing market prices, with the timing and actual number of shares repurchased depending upon market conditions and other factors. The repurchases may be made up until June 2016. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 , 4,959 and 3,657 shares, respectively, were repurchased under the program at a total cost of $274,193 and $147,431 , respectively. Subsequent to January 31, 2016 , and up to March 24, 2016 , three shares were repurchased at a total cost of $165 .

Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has obligations under operating leases for its store and other retail locations, distribution centers, offices, and equipment. As of January 31, 2016 , the lease terms of the various leases range from two to 15 years . A substantial number of the Company's leases include renewal options and certain of the Company's leases include rent escalation clauses, rent holidays and leasehold rental incentives. Certain of the Company's leases for store premises also include contingent rental payments based on sales volume. The Company is required to make deposits for rental payments pursuant to certain lease agreements, which have been included in other non-current assets. Minimum annual basic rent payments excluding other executory operating costs, pursuant to lease agreements are approximately as laid out in the table below. These amounts include commitments in respect of company-operated stores that have not yet opened but for which lease agreements have been executed. Payments Due by Fiscal Year Total 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Thereafter Operating leases (minimum rent) $ 515,821 $ 107,456 $ 102,071 $ 88,193 $ 75,845 $ 52,881 $ 89,375 Rent expense for the years ended January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 was $124,481 , $100,029 , and $83,368 , respectively, under operating lease agreements, consisting of minimum rental expense of $113,940 , $89,943 , and $72,227 , respectively, and contingent rental amounts of $10,541 , $10,086 , and $11,141 , respectively. In January 2015, the Company entered into a license and supply arrangement with a partner in the Middle East which grants it the right to operate lululemon athletica branded retail locations in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain for an initial term of five years . Under this arrangement, the Company supplies the partner with lululemon products, training, and other support. As of January 31, 2016 , there were two licensed stores in the United Arab Emirates. In addition to the legal matters described below, the Company is, from time to time, involved in routine legal matters incidental to the conduct of its business, including legal matters such as initiation and defense of proceedings to protect intellectual property rights, personal injury claims, product liability claims, and similar matters. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. On July 15, 2015, plaintiffs Hallandale Beach Police Officers and Firefighters' Personnel Retirement Fund and Laborers' District Council Industry Pension Fund filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery a derivative lawsuit on behalf of lululemon against certain current and former directors of lululemon, captioned Laborers' District Council Industry Pension Fund v. Bensoussan, et al., C.A. No. 11293-CB. Plaintiffs claim that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to lululemon by allegedly failing to investigate certain trades of lululemon stock owned by Dennis J. Wilson in 2013. Plaintiffs also claim that Mr. Wilson breached his fiduciary duties by making his broker aware of certain non-public, material events prior to executing sales of lululemon stock on Mr. Wilson's behalf. The defendants have filed motions to dismiss the action for failure to adequately plead that demand on the board was excused and the individual defendants have filed motions for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. On October 9, 2015, certain current and former hourly employees of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the Supreme Court of New York entitled Rebecca Gathmann-Landini et al v. lululemon USA inc. On December 2, 2015, the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The lawsuit alleges that the Company violated various New York labor codes by failing to pay all earned wages, including overtime compensation. The plaintiffs are seeking an unspecified amount of damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company's domestic and foreign income before income tax expense and current and deferred income taxes from federal, state, and foreign sources are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2016 February 1, 2015 February 2, 2014 Income before income tax expense Domestic $ 84,286 $ 94,234 $ 81,688 Foreign 284,209 288,901 315,438 368,495 383,135 397,126 Current income tax expense (recovery) Federal $ (18,662 ) $ 54,172 $ 27,818 State 3,363 8,203 4,017 Foreign 110,372 80,461 84,924 95,073 142,836 116,759 Deferred income tax expense (recovery) Federal $ 8,719 $ 7,763 $ 266 State 425 77 38 Foreign (1,769 ) (6,574 ) 516 7,375 1,266 820 Income tax expense $ 102,448 $ 144,102 $ 117,579 The Company's income tax expense for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 include certain tax adjustments, as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2016 February 1, 2015 February 2, 2014 Transfer pricing adjustments, net $ (4,826 ) $ — $ — Tax on repatriation of foreign earnings 7,838 33,746 — Tax adjustment on foreign tax credit calculations (10,455 ) — — Total tax adjustments $ (7,443 ) $ 33,746 $ — A net interest expense of $3,467 related to the transfer pricing adjustments was recorded in fiscal 2015 in other (expense) income, net. There were no similar net interest expenses during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. Transfer pricing adjustments, net The Company's tax positions include the Company's intercompany transfer pricing policies and the associated taxable income and deductions arising from intercompany charges between subsidiaries within the consolidated group. During fiscal 2015 , the Company received new communications with respect to the anticipated bilateral Advance Pricing Arrangement ("APA") which the Company is in the process of finalizing with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA"). This resulted in a reassessment of the expected amount of income tax due in each jurisdiction, for fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2015. The expected benefit of the APA has not previously been reflected in actual or anticipated filing positions by the Company, and it is anticipated that the APA will apply retroactively from the start of fiscal 2011. The Company has determined that it is considered more likely than not that the outcome of the APA will result in a decrease in taxable income in the United States and an increase in taxable income in Canada. This resulted in an income tax receivable in the United States and an increase in income taxes payable in Canada. The Company has also recognized a related net interest expense of $3,467 in other (expense) income, net, representing the interest due on the Canadian income tax payable, partially offset by the interest income on the U.S. income tax receivable. The change in the expected outcome of the APA, as well as the timing of its finalization, also has an impact on the foreign tax credits relating to the dividends paid in fiscal 2014. These changes resulted in a net income tax recovery of $4,826 during fiscal 2015 . The Company anticipates that the APA will be finalized within the next twelve months. The final position of the tax authorities includes a range of outcomes. The Company's expected filing position represents the largest benefit considered by management to be more likely than not. However, the Company's tax position will be updated as new information becomes available. Should the terms of the final APA differ to the Company's assessment, it is reasonably possible that the Company may record additional income tax benefits of up to approximately $10,000 and this would impact the Company's effective tax rate. Tax on repatriation of foreign earnings In fiscal 2014 , the Company recorded a tax expense of $33,746 representing the estimated U.S. income tax and foreign withholding tax payable on the repatriation of earnings in the form of dividends of $473,700 , which were distributed during fiscal 2014 by foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. parent entity to fund the share repurchase program. The cumulative undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries as of January 31, 2016 were $589,381 , including $581,246 of cumulative undistributed earnings of a Canadian subsidiary. In fiscal 2015, as a result of the change in the expected outcome of the APA described above, it is now expected that a significant intercompany debt between one of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries and a Canadian subsidiary will arise upon the finalization of the APA. As a result, it is intended that up to $156,000 will be distributed from a Canadian subsidiary to the U.S. parent entity to finance the payment of this intercompany debt. As these foreign earnings are no longer considered indefinitely reinvested, the Company has recorded an incremental tax expense and deferred tax liability as of January 31, 2016 of $7,838 to provide for U.S. income and applicable foreign withholding taxes on this expected distribution. The foreign exchange rates in effect at the time that the expected distribution is made may impact the calculation of foreign tax credits and the amount of tax payable. U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on the remaining $425,246 of that Canadian subsidiary's undistributed earnings that are indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. Income taxes of approximately $16,574 would be incurred if these earnings were repatriated to the United States. No income taxes have been provided on any of the undistributed earnings of the other subsidiaries as these earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. In reaching the conclusion that these undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested, the Company considers its international expansion plans, projected working capital needs, projected head office capital investments outside of the United States, forecasted cash flow requirements within the United States, and other factors the Company believes are relevant. As of January 31, 2016 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $437,458 outside of the United States. With the exception of the intended distribution of up to $156,000 described above, the Company does not intend to repatriate these funds to the United States. If the intentions of the Company change, the Company would be required to accrue the income taxes which would be due upon repatriation. Tax adjustment on foreign tax credit calculations During fiscal 2015 , the Company finalized the amount of U.S. income tax payable on the dividends of $473,700 which were distributed in fiscal 2014 and recognized an adjustment on the foreign tax credits that had been initially estimated for the prior year distributions, which resulted in the recognition of an income tax recovery of $10,455 during fiscal 2015. A summary reconciliation of the effective tax rate is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2016 February 1, 2015 February 2, 2014 Federal income tax at statutory rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Foreign tax rate differentials (6.9 ) (6.8 ) (7.1 ) U.S. state taxes 0.8 1.2 1.2 Non-deductible compensation expense 0.6 0.3 0.5 Permanent and other — (0.9 ) — Tax and related interest adjustments Transfer pricing adjustments, net (1.0 ) — — Tax on repatriation of foreign earnings 2.1 8.8 — Tax adjustment on foreign tax credit calculations (2.8 ) — — Effective tax rate 27.8 % 37.6 % 29.6 % The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities as of January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015 are presented below: January 31, 2016 February 1, 2015 Deferred income tax assets Net operating loss carry forward $ 11,753 $ 8,803 Property and equipment (35 ) (15,850 ) Deferred lease liability 55 6,977 Stock-based compensation — 4,662 Inventory — 3,058 Tenant inducements 29 6,965 Other — 1,403 11,802 16,018 Deferred income tax liabilities Property and equipment $ (29,214 ) $ (5,027 ) Tax and related interest adjustments (8,245 ) — Deferred lease liability 8,757 515 Tenant inducements 8,353 281 Inventory 4,015 — Foreign tax credits 3,845 — Stock-based compensation 2,192 — Other (462 ) 598 (10,759 ) (3,633 ) Net deferred income tax assets $ 1,043 $ 12,385 The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Canada and various foreign, state and provincial jurisdictions. The 2011 to 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal and state tax authorities. The 2010 tax year is still open for certain state tax authorities. The 2007 to 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by Canadian tax authorities. The 2010 to 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company does not have any significant unrecognized tax benefits arising from uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in the Company's tax returns.

Summary of Significant Accoun25

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company during the three-year period ended January 31, 2016 . The consolidated financial statements have been presented in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Fiscal period	The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to January 31 of the following year, typically resulting in a 52 week year, but occasionally giving rise to an additional week, resulting in a 53 week year. Fiscal 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 were each 52 week years. Fiscal 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 ended on January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , respectively.
Principles of consolidation	Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of lululemon athletica inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank balances and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes its credit risk to be minimal.
Accounts receivable	Accounts receivable Accounts receivable primarily arise out of sales to wholesale accounts, landlord lease inducements, and license and supply arrangements. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management's best estimate of probable credit losses in accounts receivable. Receivables are written off against the allowance when management believes that the amount receivable will not be recovered. As of January 31, 2016 , February 1, 2015 , and February 2, 2014 , the Company recorded an insignificant allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories, consisting of finished goods, inventories in transit, and raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost and market value. Cost is determined using weighted-average costs. For finished goods, market is defined as net realizable value, and for raw materials, market is defined as replacement cost. Cost of inventories includes all costs incurred to deliver inventory to the Company's distribution centers including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty and other landing costs. The Company makes provisions as necessary to appropriately value obsolete or damaged goods. The amount of the provision is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand, selling prices and market conditions. In fiscal 2015 , the Company wrote-off $14,247 of inventory, and in fiscal 2014 the Company wrote-off $12,361 of inventory. In addition, the Company provides for inventory shrinkage based on historical trends from actual physical inventory counts. Inventory shrinkage estimates are made to reduce the inventory value for lost or stolen items. The Company performs physical inventory counts and cycle counts throughout the year and adjusts the shrink reserve accordingly.
Property and equipment	Property and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Direct internal and external costs related to software used for internal purposes which are incurred during the application development stage or for upgrades that add functionality are capitalized. All other costs related to internal use software are expensed as incurred. Depreciation commences when an asset is ready for its intended use. Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset, which is estimated to be 20 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the length of the lease and the estimated useful life of the improvement, to a maximum of five years. All other property and equipment are depreciated using the declining balance method as follows: Furniture and fixtures 20 % Computer hardware and software 30 % Equipment and vehicles 30 %
Goodwill and intangible assets	Goodwill and intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Reacquired franchise rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years. Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the acquisition-date fair value of the Company's previously held equity interest over the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment or more frequently when an event or circumstance indicates that goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets might be impaired. The Company's operating segment for goodwill is its company-operated stores.
Impairment of long-lived assets	Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, held for use are evaluated for impairment when the occurrence of events or a change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable as measured by comparing their carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by their use and eventual disposition. Impaired assets are recorded at fair value, determined principally by discounting the future cash flows expected from their use and eventual disposition. Reductions in asset values resulting from impairment valuations are recognized in income in the period that the impairment is determined.
Leased property and equipment	Leased property and equipment The Company leases stores, distribution centers, and administrative offices. Minimum rental payments, including any fixed escalation of rental payments and rent premiums, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the possession date. Rental costs incurred during a construction period, prior to store opening, are recognized as rental expense. Deferred lease inducements, which include leasehold improvements paid for by the landlord and rent free periods, are recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and recognized as a reduction of rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between the recognized rental expense and the total rental payments paid is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a deferred lease liability or a prepaid lease asset. Contingent rental payments based on sales are recorded in the period in which the sales occur. The Company recognizes a liability for the fair value of asset retirement obligations ("AROs") when such obligations are incurred. The Company's AROs are primarily associated with leasehold improvements which, at the end of a lease, the Company is contractually obligated to remove in order to comply with the lease agreement. At the inception of a lease with such conditions, the Company records an ARO liability and a corresponding capital asset in an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the obligation. The liability is estimated based on a number of assumptions requiring management's judgment, including store closing costs, cost inflation rates and discount rates, and is accreted to its projected future value over time. The capitalized asset is depreciated using the convention for depreciation of leasehold improvement assets. Upon satisfaction of the ARO conditions, any difference between the recorded ARO liability and the actual retirement costs incurred is recognized as an operating gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes a liability for a cost associated with a lease exit or disposal activity when such obligation is incurred. A lease exit or disposal liability is measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Company estimates fair value at the cease-use date of its operating leases as the remaining lease rentals, reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property, even where the Company does not intend to enter into a sublease. Estimating the cost of certain lease exit costs involves subjective assumptions, including the time it would take to sublease the leased location and the related potential sublease income. The estimated accruals for these costs could be significantly affected if future experience differs from the assumptions used in the initial estimate.
Deferred revenue	Deferred revenue Receipts from the sale of gift cards are treated as deferred revenue. Amounts received in respect of gift cards are recorded as unredeemed gift card liability. When gift cards are redeemed for apparel, the Company recognizes the related revenue.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition Net revenue is comprised of company-operated store net revenue, direct to consumer sales through www.lululemon.com , www.ivivva.com and other country and region specific websites, and other net revenue, which includes outlet sales, showroom sales, sales to wholesale accounts, warehouse sales, sales from temporary locations, and license and supply arrangement net revenue, which consists of royalties as well as sales of the Company's products to licensees. Sales to customers through company-operated stores are recognized at the point of sale, net of discounts and an estimated allowance for sales returns. Sales of apparel to customers through the Company's retail internet sites are recognized when delivery has occurred, and collection is reasonably assured, net of an estimated allowance for sales returns. Sales of apparel to wholesale accounts are recognized when delivery has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. All revenue is reported net of sales taxes collected for various governmental agencies. Revenue from the Company's gift cards is recognized when tendered for payment, or upon redemption. Outstanding customer balances are included in unredeemed gift card liability on the consolidated balance sheets. There are no expiration dates on the Company's gift cards, and lululemon does not charge any service fees that cause a decrement to customer balances. While the Company will continue to honor all gift cards presented for payment, management may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain card balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent management determines there is no requirement for remitting card balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, card balances may be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in net revenue.
Cost of goods sold	Cost of goods sold Cost of goods sold includes: • the cost of purchased merchandise, which includes acquisition and production costs including raw material and labor, as applicable; • the cost incurred to deliver inventory to the Company's distribution centers including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty and other landing costs; • the cost of the Company's distribution centers (such as labor, rent and utilities) and the depreciation related to the Company's distribution centers; • the cost of the Company's production, design, distribution and merchandising departments including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits, and other expenses; • occupancy costs such as minimum rent, contingent rent where applicable, property taxes, utilities and depreciation expense for the Company's company-operated store locations; • hemming; and • shrink and inventory provision expense.
Selling, general and administrative expenses	Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of all operating costs not otherwise included in cost of goods sold. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs of corporate and store-level wages and benefits, costs to transport the Company's products from the distribution facilities to the Company's sales locations and e-commerce guests, professional fees, marketing, information technology, human resources, accounting, corporate facility and occupancy costs, and depreciation and amortization expense other than in cost of goods sold.
Store pre-opening costs	Store pre-opening costs Operating costs incurred prior to the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred.
Income taxes	Income taxes The Company follows the liability method with respect to accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for tax losses, tax credit carry forwards, and other tax attributes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when these differences are anticipated to reverse. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The evaluation as to the likelihood of realizing the benefit of a deferred income tax asset is based on the timing of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, taxable income forecasts, and tax-planning strategies. The recognition of a deferred income tax asset is based upon several assumptions and forecasts, including current and anticipated taxable income, the utilization of previously unrealized non-operating loss carry forwards, and regulatory reviews of tax filings. Given the judgments and estimates required and the sensitivity of the results to the significant assumptions used, the Company believes the accounting estimates used in relation to the valuation of deferred income tax assets are subject to measurement uncertainty and are susceptible to a material change if the underlying assumptions change. The Company provides for taxes at the enacted rate applicable for the appropriate tax jurisdiction. U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which the Company has determined to be indefinitely reinvested have not been recognized. Management periodically assesses the need to utilize these undistributed earnings to finance foreign operations. This assessment is based on the cash flow projections and operational and fiscal objectives of each of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Such estimates are inherently imprecise since many assumptions utilized in the projections are subject to revision in the future. The Company evaluates its tax filing positions and recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is considered more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. This determination requires the use of significant judgment. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which an uncertain tax position is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, facts or circumstances change, tax laws change, or new information becomes available. The Company's policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as part of other (expense) income, net.
Currency translation	Currency translation The functional currency for each entity included in these consolidated financial statements that is domiciled outside of the United States is generally the applicable local currency. Assets and liabilities of each foreign entity are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Net revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate in effect during the period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is included in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss included in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency with any resulting gains and losses recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses, except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income or loss
Fair value of financial instruments	Fair value of financial instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.
Concentration of credit risk	Concentration of credit risk The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with high quality financial institutions. Accounts receivable are primarily from wholesale accounts, for landlord lease inducements, and from license and supply arrangements. The Company does not require collateral to support the accounts receivable; however, in certain circumstances, the Company may require parties to provide payment for goods prior to delivery of the goods. The accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is established based on management's assessment of the credit risk of the underlying accounts.
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method. The fair value of awards granted is estimated at the date of grant and is recognized as employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period with the offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. For awards with service and/or performance conditions, the amount of compensation expense recognized is based on the number of awards expected to vest and is adjusted to reflect those awards that do ultimately vest. For awards with performance conditions, the Company recognizes the compensation expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition at each reporting date. The fair value of the restricted shares, performance-based restricted stock units, and restricted stock units is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the award date.
Earnings per share	Earnings per share Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common and exchangeable shares outstanding during the period. Exchangeable shares are the equivalent of common shares in all material respects. All classes of stock have in effect the same rights and share equally in undistributed net income. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, performance-based restricted stock units that have satisfied their performance factor, restricted shares, and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.
Contingencies	Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in legal proceedings regarding contractual and employment relationships and a variety of other matters. The Company records contingent liabilities resulting from claims against us, when a loss is assessed to be probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements	Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition , including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and expands the related disclosure requirements. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for public companies to years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted only as of years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB amended ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") for share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early application is permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB amended ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software ("ASC 350-40") to provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. This guidance requires that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early application is permitted. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB amended ASC Topic 330, Inventory ("ASC 330") to simplify the measurement of inventory. The amendments require that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value instead of the lower of cost and market. This guidance is effective for public companies for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB amended ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740") to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this update require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early application is permitted. The Company early adopted this standard retrospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, with no significant impact to its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016 the FASB issued ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842") to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
