RESTORATION HARDWARE HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Q1 Net Revenues Increased 22%; Comparable Brand Revenue Growth of 18%; Adjusted Diluted EPS Increased 200% to $0.18

Company Increases Fiscal 2014 Guidance to Net Revenue Growth Between 20% and 22% from 18% to 20%, Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance to Range of $2.24 to $2.30 from $2.14 to $2.22

Corte Madera, CA June 11, 2014 Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RH) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended May 3, 2014.

First Quarter Highlights

Net revenues increased 22% on top of a 38% increase for the same period last year

Comparable brand revenue growth was 18% on top of 39% for the same period last year

Adjusted operating income increased 204% to $14.0 million; GAAP operating income of $4.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period last year

Adjusted net income increased 217% to $7.2 million; GAAP net income of $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $0.2 million for the same period last year

Adjusted diluted EPS increased 200% to $0.18; GAAP diluted EPS of $0.04 compared to break-even for the same period last year

Gary Friedman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, RH continued to outperform the home furnishings industry by a wide margin in the first quarter of 2014. Net revenues increased 22% on top of a 38% increase last year. Comparable brand revenues increased 18% on top of 39% last year representing an industry-leading 57% increase over the two year period. These results are even more impressive considering the fact that we eliminated the mailing of our Fall 2013 Source Book. Additionally, we grew adjusted net income by 217% to $7.2 million and adjusted EPS grew 200% to $0.18, demonstrating the disruptive nature of the RH brand and the power of our multi-channel business model.

Mr. Friedman added, The business momentum and strong trends we are seeing thus far in 2014 give us further confidence in our financial outlook for the year. We are increasing our net revenue guidance for 2014 to grow in the range of 20% to 22%, and expect adjusted net income to grow in the range of 33% to 37%.

Mr. Friedman concluded, Looking forward, we remain focused on our key value-driving strategies including the expansion of our product offer and the transformation of our retail stores. While we are still in the early stages of reading the results of our 2014 Source Books, we are very pleased with the initial response to our new products, and continue to believe that the design and presentation of these new books will be transformative to our business. Regarding our real estate transformation, we recently opened our newest Full Line Design Gallery at The Historic Post Office in Greenwich,

Connecticut and the early reads have been outstanding. We remain on track to open a new larger Full Line Design Gallery in Los Angeles on Melrose Avenue and our first next-generation Full Line Design Gallery in Atlanta later this year. Additionally, we are expanding the size of our New York Gallery, adding two additional floors to the top performing store in the Company. We now have signed leases for six next-generation Full Line Design Galleries and are in negotiations for more than 25 additional locations. Once our real estate transformation is complete in North America, we believe we will deliver $4 billion to $5 billion in annual sales, achieve mid-teens operating margins, and generate significant free cash flow.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, and adjusted diluted EPS (collectively, non-GAAP financial measures). We compute these measures by adjusting the applicable GAAP measures to remove the impact of certain recurring and non-recurring charges and gains and the tax effect of these adjustments. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company in this press release may be different from the methods used by other companies.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures tables in this press release. These accompanying tables include details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. With respect to the Companys non-GAAP guidance for the second fiscal quarter and the full fiscal year 2014, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various non-recurring and recurring reconciling items such as non-cash and other one-time compensation, one-time income tax expense (benefit), and legal claim related expenses, among others. Certain items that impact these measures have not yet occurred, are out of the Companys control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and as a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements

[a]	Store data represents retail stores plus outlet stores.

[b]

Comparable brand revenue growth includes retail comparable store sales, including Baby & Child Galleries, and direct net revenues. Comparable brand revenue growth excludes retail non-comparable store sales and outlet store net revenues. Comparable store sales have been calculated based upon retail stores, excluding outlet stores, that were open at least fourteen full months as of the end of the reporting period and did not change square footage by more than 20% between periods. If a store is closed for seven days during a month, that month will be excluded from comparable store sales.

[c]	Retail data has been calculated based upon retail stores, which includes our Baby & Child Galleries and excludes outlet stores.

[d]	Retail sales per leased selling square foot is calculated by dividing total net revenues for all retail stores, comparable and non-comparable, by the average leased selling square footage for the period.

[e]

Leased selling square footage is retail space at our stores used to sell our products. Leased selling square footage excludes backrooms at retail stores used for storage, office space or similar matters. Leased selling square footage excludes exterior sales space located outside a store, such as courtyards, gardens and rooftops. Leased selling square footage includes approximately 4,500 square feet related to one owned store location.

[f]	Average square footage (leased or leased selling, as applicable) is calculated by taking the total applicable square footage at the beginning of the quarter plus the total applicable square footage at the end of the quarter and dividing by two.

[g]	Direct revenues include sales through our catalogs and websites.

Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

Adjusted net income is included in this press release because management believes that adjusted net income provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

Adjusted diluted net income per share is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted diluted net income per share as consolidated net income (loss) less non-recurring and other items divided by the Companys share count. Adjusted diluted net income per share is included in this press release because management believes that adjusted diluted net income per share provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.
