The yogawear maker now expects its fourth-quarter net revenue to be $775 million-$785 million, from the company's previous forecast of $765 million-$785 million.

"We had a strong holiday season in both our store and digital channels", Chief Executive Laurent Potdevin said in a statement.

Lululemon also expects its fourth-quarter earnings to be $0.99-$1.01 per share from its previous guidance of $0.96-$1.01, per share.

The retailer, which competes with Nike Inc and Under Armour Inc in the lucrative athleisure market, reported better-than-expected third-quarter profit in December on higher gross margins and sales.
