CORRECTING AND REPLACING 

RH REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS 

In a shareholder letter released on September 7, 2023, the estimated fiscal 2023 adjusted diluted shares outstanding in the table captioned “Estimated Diluted Shares Outstanding” were incorrect due to a miscalculation. The updated estimated adjusted diluted shares outstanding for fiscal 2023 are 21.61 million, 21.66 million, 21.76 million, 21.84 million and 21.91 million shares at $318, $343, $368, $393 and $418 implied average stock prices, respectively. The miscalculation did not impact the figures for Q3 2023.

There are no adjustments to GAAP net revenues and GAAP gross margin in either period presented in this press release.

TO OUR PEOPLE, PARTNERS AND SHAREHOLDERS,

Revenues of $800 million and adjusted operating margin of 20.2% exceeded our guidance for the second quarter due to a $25 million revenue benefit from faster than expected deliveries and a shift of approximately $40 million of advertising costs from Q2 to Q3 reflecting the later mailing of our RH Interiors Sourcebook.

We are raising the low end of our revenue guidance for the year, and now expect revenue in the range of $3.04 billion to $3.1 billion versus our prior outlook of $3.0 to $3.1 billion, and are maintaining our outlook for adjusted operating margin of 14.5% to 15.5%.

We continue to expect the luxury housing market and broader economy to remain challenging throughout fiscal 2023 and into next year as mortgage rates continue to trend at 20-year highs and the current outlook is for rates to remain unchanged until the second quarter of 2024.

The Company repurchased 3.7 million shares in the second quarter at an average price of $325.65, representing approximately 17% of the total shares outstanding at the beginning of the second quarter.

PRODUCT ELEVATION

We recently mailed our new 604-page RH Interiors Sourcebook, and while it’s too early to read the response with only 40% of the mailing in-home this week, the early indications do look promising. We continue to expect our business trends to inflect in the second half of this year with the mailing of our RH Contemporary Sourcebook in late October and our RH Modern Sourcebook in early January, as well as the refresh of our Galleries over the next several quarters. We believe our inflection point will peak in the first half of 2024 as our new collections fully ramp and we begin another cycle of Sourcebook mailings, completely transforming and refreshing the assortment across the entire brand over a 12-month period.

SECOND QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


We believe the new collections reflect a level of design and quality inaccessible in our current market and a value proposition that will be disruptive across multiple markets, positioning RH to gain market share throughout fiscal 2024. While a product transformation of this magnitude will be margin dilutive in the short term as we cycle out of waning collections, we believe it will once again become margin accretive as selling rates stabilize and allow for supply chain and sourcing efficiencies.

PLATFORM EXPANSION

Our plan to expand the RH brand globally, address new markets locally, and transform our North American Galleries represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity.

This summer we introduced RH to the United Kingdom in a dramatic and unforgettable fashion with the opening of RH England, The Gallery at the Historic Aynho Park, a 17th-century, 73-acre estate that is a celebration of History, Design, Food and Wine. We had a spectacular turnout for our opening event in early June and the national and global press coverage the brand received was multiple times greater than any Gallery we’ve ever opened. Due to RH England’s countryside location, we expect the majority of the revenues to be driven by our Interior Design and Trade businesses, which are dependent on building books of business with high value repeat clients like Interior Design Firms and Hospitality projects. The quote books are building and we will soon mail our first Sourcebook in the United Kingdom. While pleased with the early response, there is still much to learn about the seasonality of the business in the English countryside, especially in the winter season. We will know more once we start mailing Sourcebooks and experience a couple of seasons.

Our global expansion also includes openings in Düsseldorf and Munich later this year, with Paris, Brussels and Madrid for 2024, and London, Milan and Sydney for 2025.

Regarding our North American transformation, we continue to plan opening RH Indianapolis and RH Cleveland in the second half of this year, while RH Palo Alto and RH Montecito will now open in early 2024. Additionally, we have 12 North American Galleries in the development pipeline scheduled to open over the next several years.

We also believe there is an opportunity to address new markets locally by opening Design Studios in neighborhoods, towns and small cities where the wealthy and affluent live, visit and vacation. We have several existing locations that have validated this strategy in East Hampton, Yountville, Los Gatos, Pasadena and our former San Francisco Gallery in the Design District, where we have generated annual revenues in the range of $5 to $20 million in 2,000 to 5,000 square feet. We have just secured our first new location for a Design Studio in Palm Desert, which should open in the first half of 2024.

We have identified over 40 locations that are incremental to our previous plans in North America and believe the results of these Design Studios will provide data that could lead to opening larger Galleries in those markets.

OUTLOOK

As mentioned, we are raising the low end of our revenue guidance for the year to a range of $3.04 billion to $3.1 billion and maintaining our outlook for adjusted operating margin in the range of 14.5% to 15.5%. We estimate the 53rd week will result in revenues of approximately $60 million.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we are forecasting revenues of $740 to $760 million, and adjusted operating margin in the range of 8.0% to 10.0%.

We expect to have increased advertising costs of approximately $50 million versus Q2 2023, reflecting the shifting of the RH Interiors Sourcebook from Q2 to Q3, the mailing of our RH Contemporary Sourcebook and the mailing of our first Sourcebook into the United Kingdom.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we are forecasting revenues of $760 to $800 million, and adjusted operating margin in the range of 14.4% to 16.6% with incremental advertising costs of $5 million versus the fourth quarter of last year.

RH BUSINESS VISION & ECOSYSTEM − THE LONG VIEW

We believe, “There are those with taste and no scale, and those with scale and no taste,” and the idea of scaling taste is large and far reaching.

Our goal to position RH as the arbiter of taste for the home has proven to be both disruptive and lucrative, as we continue our quest to build the most admired brand in the world.

Our brand attracts the leading designers, artisans and manufacturers, scaling and rendering their work more valuable across our integrated platform, enabling RH to curate the most compelling collection of luxury home products on the planet.

Our efforts to elevate and expand our collection will continue with the introductions of RH Couture, RH Bespoke, RH Color, RH Antiques & Artifacts, RH Atelier and other new collections scheduled to launch over the next decade.

Our plan to open immersive Design Galleries in every major market will unlock the value of our vast assortment, generating revenues of $5 to $6 billion in North America, and $20 to $25 billion globally.

Our strategy is to move the brand beyond curating and selling product to conceptualizing and selling spaces, by building an ecosystem of Products, Places, Services and Spaces that establishes the RH brand as a global thought leader, taste and place maker.

Our products are elevated and rendered more valuable by our architecturally inspiring Galleries, which are further elevated and rendered more valuable by our interior design services and seamlessly integrated hospitality experience.

Our hospitality efforts will continue to elevate the RH brand as we extend beyond the four walls of our Galleries into RH Guesthouses, where our goal is to create a new market for travelers seeking privacy and luxury in the $200 billion North American hotel industry. Additionally, we are creating bespoke experiences like RH Yountville, an integration of Food, Wine, Art & Design in the Napa Valley, RH1 and RH2, our private jets, and RH3, our luxury yacht that is available for charter in the Caribbean and Mediterranean where the wealthy and affluent visit and vacation. These immersive experiences expose new and existing customers to our evolving authority in architecture, interior design and landscape architecture.

This leads to our long-term strategy of building the world’s first consumer-facing architecture, interior design and landscape architecture services platform inside our Galleries, elevating the RH brand and amplifying our core business by adding new revenue streams while disrupting and redefining multiple industries.

Our strategy comes full circle as we begin to conceptualize and sell spaces, moving beyond the $170 billion home furnishings market into the $1.7 trillion North American housing market with the launch of RH Residences − fully furnished luxury homes, condominiums and apartments with integrated services that deliver taste and time value to discerning time-starved consumers.

The entirety of our strategy comes to life digitally with The World of RH, an online portal where customers can explore and be inspired by the depth and dimension of our brand.

Our authority as an arbiter of taste will be further amplified when we introduce RH Media, a content platform that will celebrate the most innovative and influential leaders who are shaping the world of architecture and design.

Our plan to expand the RH ecosystem globally multiplies the market opportunity to $7 to $10 trillion, one of the largest and most valuable addressed by any brand in the world today. A one percent share of the global market represents a $70 to $100 billion opportunity.

Our ecosystem of Products, Places, Services and Spaces inspires customers to dream, design, dine, travel and live in a world thoughtfully curated by RH, creating an emotional connection unlike any other brand in the world.

Taste can be elusive, and we believe no one is better positioned than RH to create an ecosystem that makes taste inclusive and, by doing so, elevating and rendering our way of life more valuable.

THE END OF COVID CONFUSION, THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT EVOLUTION

We’ve spent far too much time over the past four years debating if this was going to be the Decade of Home or the Death of Retail? If inflation was transitory or if fiscal tightening was mandatory? Home sales and prices shooting up like a rocket, and now falling to earth like a rock. For the first time in my career retailers were comparing their growth rates to any one of the past four years in any given month of any given year. The fact is we’re directionally in the same spot we were four years ago, worrying about a financial recession and the polls saying we might have a Presidential regression.

If there was ever a time the world needed a compass, this might be it. For the people of Team RH our compass is our vision, values, beliefs and culture. Those things that drive us and unite us. Those things we live for, would fight for and die for. After several years of being apart due to COVID, we finally returned to The Palace of Fine Arts Theater in San Francisco for what used to be our annual Leadership Conference and we talked about those things. For the first time in the past four years everything came into focus, clear replaced fear and connections were personal not virtual. It felt different because it was different. There is a different level of accountability when someone is standing in front of you, looking straight into your eyes and making a suggestion or a request versus looking blankly into a screen, not knowing if those on the other end have you on mute, or just aren’t very interested.

It’s time to break the bad habits of COVID. It’s time to get off the screens, get out of our home office and reconnect in our team office, or as we did at the Palace. It just felt different, because it was different, and I’m sure it’s going to lead to an outcome that’s different. Yet it also felt familiar, like finding our way back home. Back with our people, where none of us are smarter than all of us. Getting all the brains in the game and the egos out of the room. Listening and learning, discussing and debating, elevating and aligning.

It felt like the beginning of our next evolution, and it felt like we were beginners again.

Never underestimate the power of a few good people who don’t know what can’t be done.

Especially these people.

Onward Team RH.

Carpe Diem,

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net revenues, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted operating margin, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses margin, adjusted capital expenditures, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, trailing twelve months EBITDA and trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA (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 to adjust for the impact of income tax items related to such adjustments to our GAAP financial statements. 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. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe 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 we use in this 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 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.

We cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect, or that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. All discussions of new developments are subject to inherent uncertainty as to timing and the manner in which a new development may ultimately be launched including that certain new concepts may be canceled prior to introduction. Important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, among others, risks related to our dependence on key personnel and any changes in key personnel; successful implementation of our growth strategy; uncertainties in the current and long-term performance of our business including a range of risks related to our operations as well as external economic factors; general economic conditions and the impact on consumer confidence and spending; changes in customer demand for our products; decisions concerning the allocation of capital including the extent to which we repurchase additional shares of our common stock which will affect shares outstanding and EPS; factors affecting our outstanding indebtedness; our ability to anticipate consumer preferences and buying trends, and maintain our brand promise to customers; changes in consumer spending based on weather and other conditions beyond our control; risks related to the number of new business initiatives we are undertaking including international expansion, our real estate and Gallery development strategy and our expansion into new business areas such as hospitality; strikes and work stoppages

(1) The Q3 2023 estimated adjusted diluted shares outstanding include 0.078 million, 0.093 million, 0.105 million, 0.114 million and 0.122 million incremental shares at $350, $400, $450, $500 and $550 average share prices, respectively, due to dilution from the remaining 2024 Notes (as defined below) outstanding. The fiscal 2023 estimated adjusted diluted shares outstanding include 0.066 million, 0.073 million, 0.079 million, 0.084 million and 0.087 million incremental shares at $318, $343, $368, $393 and $418 average share prices, respectively, due to dilution from the remaining 2024 Notes outstanding.
(2) The implied fiscal 2023 average stock price is calculated by averaging (1) the actual average share price of $273.15 for the three months ended April 29, 2023, (2) the actual average share price of $298.93 for the three months ended July 29, 2023 and (3) an estimated average stock price for the remainder of fiscal 2023, as noted above.

Note: The table above is intended to demonstrate the estimated impact stock prices could have 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 remaining 2024 Notes. The table above includes the impact of the repurchase of 3,698,887 shares of our common stock during the three months ended July 29, 2023 under our Share Repurchase Program; however, it does not include the potential impact of future repurchases under such plan.

For purposes of estimated adjusted diluted shares, we include the incurrence of dilution above the conversion price of the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in September 2019 (the “2024 Notes”) of $211.40.

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 estimated adjusted diluted shares outstanding scenarios above based on the exercise prices of $50.00 and $385.30 for the May 2017 and October 2020 grants, respectively.

(1) Free cash flow is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is included in this shareholder letter because we believe that this measure provides useful information to our senior leadership team and investors in understanding the strength of our liquidity and our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered alongside our other liquidity performance measures that are calculated in accordance with GAAP, such as net cash provided by operating activities and our other GAAP financial results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results for the purpose of analyzing changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Our measure of free cash flow is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies due to different methods of calculation.

(1) Adjusted capital expenditures is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted capital expenditures as capital expenditures from investing activities and cash outflows of capital related to construction activities to design and build landlord-owned leased assets, net of tenant allowances received during the construction period. Adjusted capital expenditures is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted capital expenditures 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. Our measure of adjusted capital expenditures is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies due to different methods of calculation.
(2) Landlord tenant allowances received subsequent to lease commencement are reflected as a reduction to principal payments under finance leases within financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and are excluded from our calculation of adjusted capital expenditures. We received landlord tenant allowances subsequent to lease commencement of $2.4 million and $4.2 million for both the three and six months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.

The adjustments for both the three months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 are based on an adjusted tax rate of 24.3%.

(1) For the three and six months ended July 29, 2023 and for the three months ended July 30, 2022, we incurred dilution for the principal of the convertible senior notes assuming the if-converted method. For non-GAAP purposes, our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation excludes the dilutive impact of the principal value of the convertible senior notes since we have the intent and ability to settle the principal value of such notes in cash.
(2) For the six months ended July 30, 2022, for GAAP purposes, we incurred dilution for the principal of the convertible senior notes assuming the if-converted method. For non-GAAP purposes, our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation excludes (i) the dilutive impact of the principal value of the convertible senior notes since we have the intent and ability to settle the principal value of such notes in cash and (ii) the dilutive impact of the convertible senior notes between $193.65 and $309.84 for the 2023 Notes and between $211.40 and $338.24 for the 2024 Notes, based on the bond hedge contracts that were in place and would have delivered shares to offset dilution in these ranges through the termination date of such contracts in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation includes the dilutive impact of stock prices in excess of $309.84 for the 2023 Notes and $338.24 for the 2024 Notes through the termination dates of the related bond hedge contracts in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, as we would have had an obligation to deliver additional shares in excess of the dilution protection provided by the bond hedges.
(3) Pro forma diluted net income per share for the three months ended July 29, 2023 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 22,584,169, which excludes dilution of 143,391 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the six months ended July 29, 2023 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 23,091,083, which excludes dilution of 151,502 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes.

Pro forma diluted net income per share for the three months ended July 30, 2022 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 26,824,986, which excludes dilution of 109,928 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the six months ended July 30, 2022 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 27,096,365, which excludes dilution of 275,135 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes.

(1) Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income” and the related footnotes for additional information.
(2) Adjusted operating income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted operating income as consolidated operating income, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted operating income is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted operating 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. Our measure of adjusted operating income is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies due to different methods of calculation.
(3) We define operating margin as operating income divided by net revenues. We define adjusted operating margin as adjusted operating income divided by net revenues. 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.

(1) 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 (benefit). 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 shareholder letter because our 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.
(2) Represents non-cash compensation related to equity awards granted to employees, including the non-cash compensation charge related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.
(3) Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income” and the related footnotes for additional information.
(4) Represents amortization associated with capitalized cloud computing costs.
