A LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN AND CEO

RH REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

SECOND QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

GAAP Net Revenues of $830M up 3.6%, GAAP Operating Margin of 11.6%, Adjusted Operating Margin of 11.7%, GAAP Net Income of $29M, Adjusted Net Income of $33M, Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 17.2%

Please see the tables below for reconciliations of all GAAP to non-GAAP measures referenced in this press release.

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

TO OUR PEOPLE, PARTNERS AND SHAREHOLDERS,

We are pleased to report that demand was up 7% in the second quarter and has continued to inflect positive, gaining momentum each month with July finishing up 10%. Demand accelerated into the third quarter with August up 12% and product margins inflecting positive despite operating in the most challenging housing market in three decades. Our investments in the most prolific product transformation and platform expansion in our history are now resulting in RH gaining significant market share in North America while building the foundation for our long-term global expansion across Europe, Australia and the Middle East over the next decade.

While our inflection developed a couple of quarters later than expected, we believe the important measure is not the timing, but rather the size of the vector we are creating in comparison to our industry. Vectors are measured in magnitude and direction, and can be effective in forecasting strategic separation and future market share gains. It is now clear that our vector is increasing by both measures as we are outperforming the industry by 15 to 25 points. We expect our performance will continue to gain momentum in the second half of 2024 fueled by our multi-year effort to elevate our product, and a multi-decade effort to elevate and expand our platform.

We are also pleased that results for the second quarter reflected our guidance with revenues of $830 million, up 3.6% versus a year ago, adjusted operating margin of 11.7%, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.2%.

While aggressively investing into a downturn has put pressure on short-term results, it has also positioned RH to capitalize on the long-term opportunities that present themselves during times of disruption and dislocation. We believe our demand performance demonstrates we are the best positioned brand in our industry to benefit from the anticipated rebound of the housing market once interest rates decline and home prices reset lower, closing the affordability gap that has suppressed the market for the past several years.

EVERY ACT OF CREATION IS FIRST AN ACT OF DESTRUCTION – Pablo Picasso

We have worked hard to destroy the former version of ourselves and are in the process of unleashing what we believe is an exponentially more inspiring and disruptive RH brand, inclusive of the most prolific product transformation and platform expansion in the history of our industry.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


Our Product Transformation Plan for the Second Half of 2024 Includes:

The second mailing of our new RH Interiors Sourcebook, which arrived in homes mid-July through mid-August, is fueling our industry leading demand. With new collections and improved in-stocks, our demand should continue to build throughout the second half of 2024.

Post analysis of our circulation data we decided to consolidate our RH Contemporary Sourcebook collections into the RH Interiors and RH Modern books to optimize overall mailing depth and efficiency. Mailing fewer, more meaningful books enables our brand to break through the compounding clutter across the consumer industry, and is aligned with our Gallery strategy of fewer, more immersive and brand defining physical experiences.

The second mailing of the new RH Modern Sourcebook is scheduled for November with additional new collections and an expanded assortment, including the Contemporary book consolidation. Again, we believe our expanded assortment and improved in-stock position will provide an additional lift to our business in the fourth quarter.

The third mailing of the new RH Interiors Sourcebook is planned to be in homes early January through February, capitalizing on what is traditionally one of the largest selling seasons for furniture post consumers and designers returning from holiday travel. This mailing should help generate a strong finish to 2024 and continue the momentum as we enter next year.

As you know, we acquired Waterworks in 2016, arguably the most desired brand in the luxury bath and kitchen category. The Waterworks team has done an outstanding job over the past eight years further elevating the brand and building a highly profitable business model that can scale.

Waterworks, like most other luxury brands in the home space, generates the vast majority of its revenues from the trade market, selling to architects, designers, developers and builders. While RH has a meaningful trade business, the vast majority of our revenue is generated by consumers. We believe there is a significant opportunity to amplify the Waterworks business on the RH platform by exposing the brand to a much larger audience, similar to how we have expanded other trade focused businesses and brands over the years.

Our plan is to launch with a 3,000 square foot Waterworks Showroom in our largest new Design Gallery in Newport Beach, California, opening in the fourth quarter of 2024. We will also be developing a Waterworks Sourcebook with plans for a test mailing in 2025. Waterworks today is just shy of a $200 million dollar business with mid-to-high teens EBITDA margin that we believe has the potential to become a billion-dollar global brand on our platform.

Let me shift your attention to the elevation and expansion of our platform.

We continue to open the most inspiring and immersive physical experiences in our industry and some would say the world. Spaces that are a reflection of human design, a study of balance, symmetry and perfect proportions. Spaces that blur the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, home and hospitality. Spaces with garden courtyards, rooftop restaurants, wine and barista bars. Spaces that activate all of the senses, and spaces that cannot be replicated online.

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

Our Platform Expansion Plan for the Second Half of 2024 Includes:

RH Newport Beach, opening in November with over 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space spread over four floors with views of the Pacific Ocean, will be one of our most dramatic, immersive and brand defining physical locations to date, and will replace three legacy galleries in the region. With a 260 seat Indoor-Outdoor Rooftop Restaurant with uninterrupted views of the California coastline, two Wine & Barista Bars, an Interior Design Atelier, our first Waterworks Showroom, and the most expansive Luxury Outdoor Furniture assortment in our industry, RH Newport Beach will be an inspiring destination in the Southern California market and has the potential to become our second $100M plus Gallery.

RH Raleigh, also opening in November, features 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space over three levels, with a Rooftop Restaurant, Garden Courtyards, a Wine & Barista Bar, and an Interior Design Atelier.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


RH Montecito, opening in early December, is a reimagination of the Historic Fire House in the charming enclave perched above Santa Barbara, California, featuring an indoor-outdoor Courtyard Restaurant with fireplaces and fountains, a Wine & Barista Bar and an Interior Design Atelier.

The opening of our first RH Interior Design Office in Palm Desert, California this November. We believe there is an opportunity to address new markets locally by opening Design Offices in neighborhoods, towns and small cities where the wealthy and affluent live, visit and vacation. The Palm Desert location is a unique test of a consumer facing professional interior design office, separate from a Gallery. Our goal is to establish the RH brand as the leader in the world of professional interior design, and enable us to attract the highest caliber interior designers in the industry.

As we look forward, we anticipate an inflection of our business in Europe as we begin to open in the important brand building markets of Paris and London in 2025, and Milan in 2026. It is then we will begin to have the scale to support the advertising investments necessary to build our business across Europe. We are looking forward to discussing our global expansion in further detail once we open those important markets.

We are also making meaningful investments to elevate and differentiate our online experience and will be making meaningful upgrades to our website throughout the second half of 2024. Some of the functionality we plan to introduce is quite revolutionary and unlike anything in the market. We plan to file for design patents on several of the user interface and presentation designs and will begin to discuss the new website strategy in more detail as we roll out the new functionality.

OUTLOOK

Despite expectations for industry conditions to remain challenging until interest rates ease and the housing market begins to rebound, we expect our demand trends to accelerate throughout fiscal 2024 and into 2025.

Due to the extensive transformation of our assortment, we expect revenue to lag demand during the year by approximately 4 to 8 points until we read and react to the new collections, reduce backorders and shorten special order lead times. Therefore, we will be guiding and reporting both demand and revenue growth each quarter during fiscal 2024 so shareholders and investors can accurately analyze the business.

We believe it is also important to note that we are now forecasting to end the year with an increased backlog of approximately $80 to $100 million due to revenue lagging demand throughout 2024, which will negatively impact adjusted operating and EBITDA margins by approximately 100 basis points for the year. Additionally, investments and startup costs to support our international expansion are now estimated to be an approximate 230 basis point drag for 2024.

Due to our inflection ramping later than expected we are adjusting our full year forecast for fiscal 2024 as follows (52- versus 52-week basis):

Demand in the range of 8% to 10%

Revenue growth in the range of 5% to 7%

Adjusted Operating Margin in the range of 11% to 12%

Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the range of 17% to 18%

For the third quarter of fiscal 2024 we are forecasting:

Demand growth in the range of 12% to 14%

Revenue growth in the range of 7% to 9%

Adjusted Operating Margin in the range of 15% to 16%

Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the range of 21% to 22%

Note: The above outlook is provided on a 52 versus 52 week basis. The 53rd week of fiscal 2023 contributed approximately $50 million in revenues.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


LEADERS HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE MAKING OTHERS UNCOMFORTABLE

Leadership is about pursuing a vision, something you’ve never seen, that’s somewhere you’ve never been. As creatures of habit, change is uncomfortable for humans, but for the people and partners of Team RH, a culture of leadership and innovation is at the core of who we are, and reflected in everything we do.

We’ve grown comfortable making ourselves and others uncomfortable for over two decades, and plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. It’s what leaders do, and how we know we’re on the right path. Whether it’s launching the most prolific product transformation in the history of our industry while others are hunkering down during the worst housing market in three decades, or opening the largest and most immersive physical retail experiences around the world while others are shrinking or closing their stores and moving online.

By refusing to follow the herd into the anything-but-social world of social media (you won’t find us on Instagram), or by paying a bunch of strangers (influencers), to say they love your brand on TikTok, one thing you can be sure of is that the place you will likely find us, is on the road less traveled, one guided by our vision and values that will continue to ignite our spirit and inspire our customers.

Over 20 years ago, we began this journey with a vision of transforming a nearly bankrupt business that had a $20 million market cap and a box of Oxydol laundry detergent on the cover of its catalog into the leading luxury home brand in the world. The lessons and learnings, the insights and intricacies, the sacrifices made and scar tissue developed by getting knocked down 10 times and getting up 11 leads to the development of the mental and moral qualities that build character in individuals and form cultures in organizations. Lessons that can’t be learned in a classroom, or by managing a business, lessons that must be earned by building one.

In a world that rewards duplication and penalizes the inherent bumpy road of innovation (especially for companies in the public domain), we the people and partners of Team RH will continue to drive ourselves to destroy today’s reality so we can create tomorrow’s future, while remaining completely comfortable making ourselves and others uncomfortable.

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,

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. Due to fiscal 2023 being a 53-week year, demand growth excludes the extra week and is calculated on a 52-week comparable basis.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our 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) 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 lease agreements 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 for both the three and six months ended July 29, 2023. No such amounts were received from landlords during the three or six months ended August 3, 2024.

(4) We exclude the GAAP tax provision and apply a non-GAAP tax provision based upon (i) adjusted pre-tax net income, (ii) the projected annual adjusted tax rate and (iii) the exclusion of material discrete tax items that are unusual or infrequent. The adjustments for the three months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 are based on adjusted tax rates of 12.8% and 24.3%, respectively.

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.

(2) Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income” and the related footnotes for additional information.
(3) 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 our pro forma share count.

(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. 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.
