TO OUR PEOPLE, PARTNERS, AND SHAREHOLDERS,

As we anniversary what has been one of the most difficult years in recent history, and as we begin to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel of this deadly and disruptive virus, we do so with a greater appreciation for our freedom and the simple gestures in life like a handshake or a hug. We also turn this corner knowing that we used our time wisely to reimagine and reinvent ourselves once again.

In times of turmoil humans tend to move in herds, hunkering down and finding comfort in conformity. Even those who analyze and report the news seem to find reassurance in replication, trying to fit everything into predictable pandemic piles of headlines we’ve all been reading. We, for example, have been put into the “there’s no place like home” pile. Others have been placed into the “e-commerce is everything” pile. Both are actually good piles, because if you’re in one of those you are looked upon favorably whether you’re on the top or the bottom of the pile.

I believe many on Wall Street are managing their portfolios in piles, looking through their reading glasses when they really need a microscope and a telescope. A microscope to search for the details and differences in those rare brands and businesses who belong anywhere but the pile, and a telescope to see the opportunities they will exploit post this pandemic.

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


Since we the people of Team RH generally move in the opposite direction of the herd, are allergic to hunkering down, and surely don’t believe we belong in the pandemic pile, we’ve taken a shot at four simple headlines that require neither a microscope nor a telescope. The four P’s that can give you an insight into what you might expect us to do next, because while most of the world spent this past year sheltering-in-place, we spent the time reimagining and reinventing ourselves at a never before seen pace.

OUR PRODUCT, OUR PERFORMANCE, OUR PROSPECTS, AND OUR PEOPLE

OUR PRODUCT. We are building the most comprehensive and compelling collection of luxury home furnishings in the world. The desirability and exclusivity of our product amplified in our inspiring spaces has enabled us to gain significant market share with RH Core demand up 36% in the fourth quarter. Our demand has accelerated sharply with February up 73%, and the first two weeks of March up 96%, prior to cycling the closing of our Galleries, Restaurants and Outlets a year ago.

Adjusted gross margin increased 480 basis points in the quarter, 540 basis points for the year, and 1,210 basis points on a three year basis versus fiscal 2017, again, demonstrating the desirability of our exclusive offering, and the pricing power of our brand.

The strategic separation we’ve created will continue to grow as we further elevate and expand the RH Brand with the introductions of RH Contemporary in 2021, plus RH Color, RH Couture and RH Bespoke over the next several years.

Additionally our plan is to unveil The World of RH, a digital portal presenting our products, places, services and spaces this fall.  We will begin to bring the different parts of our integrated ecosystem to life with rich content that we believe will enhance our brand and connect with our clients on a much deeper level.

OUR PERFORMANCE. We continue to build the most productive operating platform and business model in our industry with adjusted operating margins increasing 750 basis points to 21.8% versus 14.3% last year on only 8% revenue growth. Let me say that again, 750 basis points on only 8% revenue growth. It’s an operating margin never seen before in the furniture/home furnishings market, and more than 50% better than the closest competitor. Our ROIC of 53% in 2020 also puts us in a class of our own.

Our results represent a systemic lift that is not merely a temporal pandemic shift due to an unsustainable revenue gain. Remember, virtually 100% of our Core business is direct to customer, with less than one tenth of one percent being cash and carry from our stores, which is basically floor model sell off. That is why our demand to revenue lag is much greater than other home furnishings retailers who have seasonal assortments and large cash and carry businesses.

It’s also important to note that due to the virus-induced supply chain disruptions, approximately $150 million of demand that was generated in 2020 will be recognized as revenue in 2021, while the majority of the selling costs to generate that demand was absorbed in 2020. If those revenues were recognized last year, our adjusted operating margin would have reached 23%.

I often quote Bernard Arnault, the Chairman & CEO of LVMH as he says, “Luxury goods are the only area in which it is possible to make luxury margins.” At 21.8% adjusted operating margin in 2020, RH has now eclipsed the operating margin of LVMH, and we have a clear line of sight to 25%-plus operating margin over the next several years. With less than $3 billion of net revenues, you can imagine the leverage we should experience as we scale.

RH has also become one of the top performing consumer stocks of the past decade. Since our IPO on November 2, 2012 at $24 per share, RH has outperformed Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Nike, Starbucks, LVMH, Home Depot, Hermès and just about everyone else but Tesla. Warren Buffett says, “Time favors the well-managed company.” We believe our performance has and will continue to prove that point.

OUR PROSPECTS. We ended 2020 with just less than $3 billion in net revenues and believe the data supports the RH brand reaching $5 to $6 billion in North America and $20 to $25 billion globally. We believe that number will continue to grow when you consider our opportunities in Hospitality and Homebuilding as we continue to expand the RH Ecosystem with the introduction of RH Guesthouses and RH Residences. We are tracking to begin our international expansion in Europe with the openings of RH England and RH Paris in 2022. We are planning to open our first Guesthouse in New York City this fall, followed by our second Guesthouse in Aspen, which will include our first RH Bath House & Spa, in the fall of 2022.

We are currently in design development for our first RH Residences as part of our larger Aspen ecosystem and have already received multiple unsolicited proposals to purchase the homes sight unseen, and to place deposits to reserve a home. We believe the revolutionary design of both the Guesthouses and Residences have the potential to create entirely new markets in their respective industries, while also positioning RH as a thought leader, taste, and place maker.

We also plan to open four new Design Galleries in 2021, all with integrated restaurants and wine bars: RH San Francisco, The Gallery at the Historic Bethlehem Steel Building; RH Dallas, The Gallery on Knox; RH Oak Brook The Gallery at the Center; and RH Jacksonville, The Gallery at St. Johns Town Center.

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


OUR PEOPLE. I believe we have the most resourceful team in our industry, and again, not by a little. Tony Robbins talks about resourcefulness being the ultimate resource. It’s not about time, money, or technology. It’s about passion, persistence, vision and values. Starting with no resources, we transformed a nearly bankrupt business selling nostalgic discovery items with a $20 million market cap into the leading luxury home brand in the world with a market value in excess of $10 billion.

History has proven that men and women will work for a dollar but die for what they believe in. We say inside our organization, “This is not our Company, it’s our Cause. It’s an authentic reflection of who we are and what we believe in. Some people say, ‘Don’t take it personally.’ Those people are not our people. Make no mistake, this is very personal to us.”

WE BELIEVE BRANDS WITH MORE CONTROL WILL BECOME MORE VALUABLE

We have always invested in controlling our brand from concept to customer, avoiding intermediaries who will never care as much as we do.  That’s why we’ve avoided partnerships, sponsorships, franchising or licensing and continue to believe brands with more control will become more valuable.

The easy path of expanding a brand rarely pans out to be the best path. The road to global expansion is littered with brands that put their trust in others, only to spend years negotiating repurchase rights decades later after the damage is done.  That’s not to say there won’t be exceptions where there’s an outstanding partner in a challenging country, but it will be a rare exception as we expand the RH brand around the world.  

We also continue to invest in taking more control of the customer experience and have been testing RH In-Your-Home in the Los Angeles and San Francisco markets and are extremely happy with the early results. As Fernando Garcia, our President of Furniture Operations and Home Delivery describes it, “RH In-Your-Home is not a different or better experience, it is a unique and memorable experience as we extend the Gallery into the customer’s home. With Furniture Ambassadors managing every detail, it creates an impression with our customers that can last a lifetime.”

Additionally, we are opening a new one million square foot furniture distribution center in Southern California this spring.  The new facility will allow us to reduce delivery times by seven to ten days for both outdoor furniture and special order upholstery in most major markets.

2021 HAS ALL THE SIGNS OF A VERY GOOD YEAR

While 2021 will surely be a tale of two halves, the fact that we have a booming housing market, a record stock market, low interest rates, the expectation of a rebound in the economy and jobs market, combined with the recent further acceleration in our demand trends, has us feeling more rather than less optimistic that it might just turn out to be two very good halves.

While we expect to face continued difficulties ramping vendor production to meet demand and don’t see the challenges with ocean freight or port congestion resolving themselves anytime soon, it’s hard not to forecast first quarter revenue growth of at least 50%, and adjusted operating margin in the 20% range. With the momentum in the business, we believe it’s safe to say 2021 should result in revenue growth in the range of 15% to 20% with adjusted operating margin expanding 100 to 200 basis points and ROIC in excess of 60%.

We have made the decision once again to delay the mailing of our Source Books and the launch of RH Contemporary until the fall of 2021 to enable our manufacturing partners to catch up to the increasing demand trends. This decision should also support a strong second half as we have held back new collections for the past year, which will result in one of our largest new product launches in our history. Our RH Outdoor Source Book filled with 10 new collections is scheduled to be in home starting this week, with the digital Source Book and new outdoor collections live on our website today.

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


THIS IS A TIME TO BE DEFINED BY OUR VISION, NOT BY A VIRUS

As we move past the dark days of the pandemic, let us remember our resurrection. A time we reimagined and reinvented ourselves once again. A time our results redefined possible for a home furnishings brand. A time when our performance forced the rest of the world to remove us from that pandemic pile and see us for who we truly are.

A team of people who don’t know what can’t be done.  

This is a time to be defined by our vision, not by a virus.

Carpe Diem,

Description automatically generated

Note: Demand is an operating metric that we use in reference to the dollar value of orders placed (orders convert to net revenue upon a customer obtaining control of the merchandise), and excludes exchanges and shipping fees. RH Core demand represents the demand generated from the RH brand excluding RH Baby & Child, RH Teen, RH Contract, RH Hospitality, RH Outlet, Membership and Waterworks. Total Company demand represents the demand generated from all of our businesses, inclusive of sales from RH Outlet and RH Hospitality.

“ROIC” refers to return on invested capital. We define ROIC as adjusted operating income after-tax for the most recent twelve-month period, divided by the average of beginning and ending debt and equity less cash and equivalents as well as short and long-term investments for the most recent twelve- month period. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our method of determining ROIC may differ from other companies’ methods and therefore may not be comparable.

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 net revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income or adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted diluted net income per share, ROIC or return on invested capital, free cash flow, adjusted operating margin, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin and adjusted EBITDA margin (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 senior leadership 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 non-GAAP financial measures, including similarly titled measures, 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.

The Fiscal 2021 adjusted diluted shares outstanding include 0.947 million, 1.190 million, 1.389 million, 1.554 million, 1.695 million and 1.815 million incremental shares at $450, $500, $550, $600, $650 and $700 average share prices, respectively, due to dilution from the convertible notes.

Note: The table above is intended to demonstrate the impact of increasing stock prices on our adjusted diluted shares outstanding due to 1) additional in-the-money options, 2) the higher cost of acquired shares under the treasury stock method and 3) dilution resulting from the outstanding convertible senior notes and warrant agreements.

For GAAP purposes, we will incur dilution above the lower strike prices of our 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes of $193.65 and $211.40, respectively. However, no additional shares will be included in our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation between $193.65 and $309.84 for our 2023 Notes, and between $211.40 and $338.24 for our 2024 Notes, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution in these ranges. At stock prices in excess of $309.84 and $338.24, we will incur dilution related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, respectively, and would have an obligation to deliver additional shares in excess of the dilution protection provided by the bond hedges.

The calculation also includes assumptions around the timing and number of options exercises. Actual diluted shares outstanding may differ if actual exercises differ from estimates. The stock option awards outstanding for RH’s Chairman and CEO are included in all of the adjusted diluted shares outstanding scenarios above based on the exercise prices of $46.50, $75.43, $50.00 and $385.30 for the November 2012, July 2013, May 2017 and October 2020 grants, respectively.

Free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities adjusted by the non-cash accretion of debt discount upon settlement of debt, proceeds from sale of asset, capital expenditures, principal payments under finance leases and equity method investments. Free cash flow is included in this press release because our senior leadership team believes that free cash flow provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business.

[a] Represents adjustments to net revenues, cost of goods sold and inventory charges associated with product recalls, as well as accrual adjustments, and vendor and insurance claims.
[b] The adjustment to cost of goods sold for the year ended January 30, 2021 represents asset impairment related to Outlet inventory resulting from retail closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The adjustment to cost of goods sold for the year ended February 1, 2020 represents acceleration of depreciation expense driven by a reduction in the estimated useful lives of certain assets. The adjustment to selling, general and administrative expense in the three months ended January 30, 2021 represents asset impairments. The adjustment to selling, general and administrative expense in the year ended January 30, 2021 includes asset impairments of $6.6 million and acceleration of depreciation expense of $3.9 million. The adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 1, 2020 includes asset impairments of $8.9 million, an RH Contemporary Art lease impairment of $4.6 million and acceleration of depreciation expense of $1.3 million. The adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended February 1, 2020 includes asset impairments of $9.1 million, an RH Contemporary Art lease impairment of $4.6 million, other lease impairments of $1.5 million due to early exit of leased facilities, acceleration of depreciation expense of $1.3 million and a $0.5 million charge related to the termination of a service agreement.
[c] Represents non-cash compensation charges related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


[d] Represents the (gain) loss on sale-leaseback transactions related to our previously owned Design Galleries.
[e] Represents severance costs and related payroll taxes associated with reorganizations.
[f] Represents legal settlements, net of related legal expenses.
[g] Represents the gain on real estate land sales.
[h] Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for GAAP purposes for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2014 (the “2019 Notes”), the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”), the $335 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2018 (the “2023 Notes”), and the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in September 2019 (the “2024 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components and we are amortizing as debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the equity components as interest expense on the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes over their expected lives. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $1.1 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $5.3 million and $3.7 million during the year ended January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, respectively. The 2019 Notes matured on June 15, 2019 and the 2020 Notes matured on July 15, 2020 and neither impacted amortization of debt discount post-maturity.
[i] Represents tradename impairment related to the Waterworks reporting unit.
[j] The adjustment in the year ended January 30, 2021 represents a gain on extinguishment of debt upon the maturity and settlement of the 2020 Notes in July 2020. The adjustment in the three months ended February 1, 2020 represents the acceleration of debt issuance costs related to early repayment of the FILO term loan. The adjustment in the year ended February 1, 2020 represents the loss on extinguishment of debt related to a second lien term loan which was repaid in full in September 2019 and the acceleration of debt issuance costs related to early repayment of the FILO term loan, partially offset by the gain on extinguishment of debt upon the maturity and settlement of the 2019 Notes in June 2019.
[k] The adjustment for the three months ended January 30, 2021 is based on an adjusted tax rate of 22.5%, which excludes our share of equity method investments losses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The adjustment for the three months ended February 1, 2020 represents the tax effect of the adjusted items based on our effective tax rate of 14.9%. The adjustment for the year ended January 30, 2021 is based on an adjusted tax rate of 21.3%, which excludes the tax impact associated with the non-cash compensation charge related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Waterworks reporting unit tradename impairment recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and our share of equity method investments losses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The adjustment for the year ended February 1, 2020 is based on an adjusted tax rate of 17.4%, which is calculated using a 21% normalized tax rate for the first and second quarters and the effective tax rates of 13.7% and 14.9% for the third and fourth quarters, respectively.
[l] Represents our proportionate share of the losses of our equity method investments.
[m] Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted net income as consolidated net income, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted net income is included in this press release because senior leadership team believes that adjusted net income provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

[a] For GAAP purposes, we incur dilution above the lower strike prices of our 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes of $116.09, $118.13, $193.65 and $211.40, respectively. However, we exclude from our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation the dilutive impact of the convertible notes between $116.09 and $171.98 for our 2019 Notes, between $118.13 and $189.00 for our 2020 Notes, between $193.65 and $309.84 for our 2023 Notes, and between $211.40 and $338.24 for our 2024 Notes, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution in these ranges. At stock prices in excess of $171.98, $189.00, $309.84 and $338.24, we incur dilution related to the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, respectively, and we would have an obligation to deliver additional shares in excess of the dilution protection provided by the bond hedges. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the three months ended January 30, 2021 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 28,316,994 which excludes dilution related to the 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes of 1,862,512 shares. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the three months ended February 1, 2020 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 24,538,122, which excludes dilution related to the 2020 Notes of 1,229,742 shares. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the year ended January 30, 2021 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 25,962,597, which excludes dilution related to the 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes of 1,339,671 shares. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the year ended February 1, 2020 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 23,697,440, which excludes dilution related to the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes of 601,594 shares.
[b] Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income” and the related footnotes for additional information.
[c] 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, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance divided by the Company’s pro forma share count. Adjusted diluted net income per share is included in this press release because senior leadership team 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 operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of our adjusted operating margin financial guidance or other non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of the non-recurring and other items that are excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures. Such adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges excluded from such non-GAAP financial measure in prior periods. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods could have a significant impact on our non-GAAP financial measures.

[a] EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define EBITDA as consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense—net and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of non-cash compensation, as well as certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are included in this press release because senior leadership team believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions for other companies due to different methods of calculation.
[b] Represents non-cash compensation related to equity awards granted to employees, including the non-cash compensation charges related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.
[c] Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income” and the related footnotes for additional information.
[d] Represents amortization associated with capitalized cloud computing costs.
[e] EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted net revenues. Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of Net Revenues to Adjusted Net Revenues and Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit” and the related footnotes for a definition and reconciliation of adjusted net revenues.
