A LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN AND CEO

RH REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

THIRD QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

GAAP Net Revenues of $812M, up 8.1%, GAAP Operating Margin of 12.5%, Adjusted Operating Margin of 15.0% GAAP Net Income of $33M, Adjusted Net Income of $49M, Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 20.8%

Q3 Total Demand Growth increased 13%, RH Brand Demand Growth increased 14%

Nov Total Demand Growth accelerated to up 18%, RH Brand Demand Growth accelerated to up 24%

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.

RH Brand is inclusive of RH Interiors, RH Modern, RH Contemporary and RH Outdoor, and represents approximately 75% of our business.

TO OUR PEOPLE, PARTNERS AND SHAREHOLDERS,

The positive inflection of our business continued to gain momentum with third quarter demand increasing 13% despite operating in the worst housing market in 30 years.

Our vector is increasing in both magnitude and direction with November demand up 18%, as the most prolific product transformation and platform expansion in the history of our industry continues to unfold.

Our industry leading growth is being driven by the RH brand where November demand increased 24% with the introduction of our new RH Modern Sourcebook and has continued to accelerate into December with month to date demand up 30%, demonstrating the disruptive nature of our product transformation.

The performance of the RH brand reflects market share gains of 15 to 25 points in Q3, accelerating to 25 to 45 points in Q4 based on our current trends and the expectations of furniture based retailers. We believe our collections reflect a level of design and quality inaccessible in our current market and a value proposition that is disruptive across multiple markets, positioning RH to gain significant market share for the foreseeable future.

Our Contract, Outlet, Baby & Child, and Teen businesses should benefit from our product transformation in 2025 as 1) The new assortment becomes more widely available to support our Contract Business, 2) Returns of the new product drive our Outlet Business, and 3) The most successful designs are translated into smaller sizes for Baby, Child, and Teen.

We are also pleased that results for the third quarter reflected our guidance with revenues increasing 8.1%, adjusted operating margin of 15.0% versus 7.3% last year, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8% versus 12.4% a year ago.

Based on current trends we are raising our fourth quarter and full year guidance to:  

Q4 Total Demand growth of 20% to 22%, and Revenue growth of 18% to 20%

Q4 Adjusted Operating Margin of 12.2% to 13.2%, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 18.0% to 19.0%

FY Total Demand growth of 9.9% to 10.4%, and Revenue growth of 6.8% to 7.2%

FY Adjusted Operating Margin of 11.5% to 11.7%, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 17.2% to 17.4%

Note: The above outlook for Demand and Revenue growth is provided on a 52 versus 52 week basis. The 53rd week of fiscal 2023 contributed approximately $50 million in revenues. Additionally, the 53rd week benefited adjusted operating margin in Q4 2023 by 50 basis points.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


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. We believe the important investments we are making during this depressed housing cycle are creating a level of strategic separation in our industry that rivals the most important brands in the world.

Our Product Transformation Plan for the Remainder of 2024 and Select 2025 Highlights Include:

The second mailing of our new RH Modern Sourcebook arrived in homes in November with 54 new collections across furniture, upholstery, lighting, rugs and textiles. Based on our demand trends and confidence in the new offering, we increased our advertising investment by approximately $6 million in the quarter to further expand both page count and circulation. The quarter-to-date demand leads us to believe that this investment will prove to be a wise decision over the course of the fourth quarter and into the first half of 2025.

As a reminder, post analysis of our circulation data we decided to consolidate our RH Contemporary Sourcebook collections into the RH Interiors and RH Modern Sourcebooks 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 introduction of our new RH Interiors Sourcebook is now planned to be in homes beginning early February with 89 new collections across furniture, upholstery, lighting, rugs and textiles. The new collections and improved in-stocks, should further increase our vector and market share gains in the first half of 2025.

The introduction of our 2025 RH Outdoor Sourcebook, featuring the most dominant assortment of high quality outdoor furniture in the world is also planned for early February. The new Sourcebook will include eight new outdoor furniture collections, an exciting new outdoor textiles offering, plus a significantly improved in-stock position to start the season versus a year ago.

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 to further elevate the brand and build 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.

This week we will begin to introduce the Waterworks brand across the RH platform beginning with a 3,000 square foot Waterworks Showroom in our largest new Design Gallery opening tomorrow in Newport Beach, California. Our interior designers around the world will now be able to specify Waterworks in their design projects and customers will be able to view and purchase Waterworks on RH.com in the next few weeks. We also plan to test a Waterworks Sourcebook in the second half of 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.

We also have plans to unveil RH Couture Upholstery by Dmitriy & Co. in the first half of 2025. We purchased Dmitriy & Co. in 2020 with a vision of making the most exquisitely designed and crafted upholstered furniture in the world, previously only available to-the-trade, accessible to consumers on the RH platform. While there has been much speculation regarding how we might change Dmitriy & Co. to address a larger market, our plan is just the opposite. We believe, by not changing anything, we will change everything. Like Waterworks, we believe transitioning some of the most admired brands in the world from a solely trade based to a blended consumer and trade-based business model is a very big idea, and one that can result in exponential growth for these highly desired brands.

Additionally, we plan to introduce a significant new brand extension in the Fall of 2025 that we believe will meaningfully expand the market size and share of the RH brand. This new brand extension will include a new

Sourcebook and have a significant website presence on RH.com. We expect to present the product in our Galleries in early 2026 and will share more details of this exciting new venture in the new year.

Lastly, we do not expect a negative impact to margins as a result of the most recent communications regarding the potential for increased tariffs in 2025. We have been proactively moving sourcing away from China over the past several years with the expectation of fully exiting the country by the end of the second quarter. We are also transitioning products manufactured in Mexico and believe we can successfully reposition our sourcing with no disruption to the supply chain.

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 Remainder of 2024 and 2025 Includes:

RH Newport Beach, opening tomorrow 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 experiences to date, and will replace three legacy Galleries in the region. RH Newport Beach, The Gallery at Fashion Island features the RH Ocean Grill, a 270 seat Indoor-Outdoor Rooftop Restaurant with uninterrupted views and dramatic sunsets over the California coastline, two Wine & Barista Bars, our first Waterworks Showroom, an Interior Design Atelier, and the most expansive Luxury Outdoor Furniture assortment in our industry. We believe 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 Montecito, also opening this week, is a reimagination of the Historic Fire House in the charming enclave perched above Santa Barbara. The Gallery will feature The RH Firehouse Grill, an indoor-outdoor Courtyard Restaurant with fireplaces and fountains, a Wine & Barista Bar, plus an Interior Design Atelier.

The first RH Interior Design Studio is opening this week in Palm Desert, California. Our goal is to establish RH as the leading interior design firm in the world, as we’ve moved the brand from simply curating and selling product to conceptualizing and selling spaces. The Palm Desert location is a unique test of a consumer facing interior design firm, not a Gallery. Our theory is, by presenting RH Interior Design in a singular fashion, as a professional interior design firm, we will attract the highest caliber interior designers, and therefore the highest value consumers. We believe this might be one of the most important strategies to elevate and distinguish the RH brand as a global design authority at the highest end of the market.

We are also developing an RH Design Ecosystem in Palm Desert with plans to add a 10,000 square foot RH Design Gallery and a freestanding 5,000 square foot RH Outdoor Furniture Gallery on the same street. Additionally, we are considering a freestanding RH All Day Cafe to complete the ecosystem in the near future.

RH Raleigh opened in November of this year with 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space over three levels, The Gallery includes a Rooftop Restaurant, Garden Courtyards, a Wine & Barista Bar, and an Interior Design Atelier.

We plan to open seven North American Galleries in 2025 including Montreal, Manhasset, Detroit, Oklahoma City, Los Gatos, Palm Desert and Aspen.

Additionally, we plan to open two International Galleries in 2025, RH Paris and RH London.

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 gain scale to support the advertising investments necessary to build our business across Europe.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


We are pleased with the second year growth trends at RH England as the Gallery is up 42% July through December, while the web business is up 111%. Current demand trends would indicate the Gallery would reach approximately $31 million in its second full year, with the web demand reaching $7 million in its second full year.

To put these results in the proper perspective, if an RH Gallery in the English Countryside, with an estimated population of 100,000 in a 10 mile radius almost 2 hours outside of London, can generate $38 million of demand in its second year, what can an RH Gallery in the center of Mayfair, the most exclusive district of London, a global city with a population of 9.7 million, do in its second year? We believe exponentially more.

We are also making meaningful investments to elevate and differentiate our online experience with plans to upgrade our website in the fourth quarter of 2024 and throughout 2025. 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.

LEADERS HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE MAKING OTHERS UNCOMFORTABLE

Leadership is about pursuing a vision, leading people somewhere they've never been, doing things they’ve never done. As creatures of habit, change is uncomfortable for humans, but for the people and partners of Team RH, a culture of invention 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 investing in 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 in 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 paying strangers (influencers), to say they love our brand on TikTok, we chose to, in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail”. We aim to craft our own unique identity, one built on a foundation of invention and innovation, truth and trust, taste and style, leadership and love.

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 or other similar references to brand demand or RH Core brand demand represent the demand generated from the RH brand excluding RH Baby & Child, RH Teen, RH Contract, RH Hospitality, RH Outlet, Membership and Waterworks. Other references to demand or Total Demand represent the demand generated from all of our business, 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 (loss), adjusted diluted net income (loss) 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.

(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 (used in) 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 during the nine months ended October 28, 2023. No such amounts were received from landlords during the three or nine months ended November 2, 2024 or during the three months ended October 28, 2023.

(1) The adjustment in the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024 includes $19 million of long-lived asset impairment for our two Design Galleries in Germany. These two Design Galleries were a required part of a real estate lease acquisition strategy of four European locations that included our two key iconic Design Galleries of RH Paris and RH London. We intentionally decided not to extend the leases of the German Design Galleries beyond their pre-existing terms, both of which end in 2027, until we have greater clarity of business post the opening of the important brand building locations in Paris and London. The adjustment also includes impairment of pre-acquisition costs related to an unsuccessful joint venture arrangement of $1.0 million. The adjustment in the three and nine months ended October 28, 2023 includes impairment of property and equipment of $2.2 million related to the interior refresh of our Design Galleries, as well as impairment of a loan receivable of $1.3 million.
(2) Represents the amortization of the non-cash compensation charge related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.
(3) The adjustment in the nine months ended November 2, 2024 represents favorable legal settlements received of $10 million, partially offset by costs incurred in connection with one of the matters. The adjustment in the nine months ended October 28, 2023 represents legal settlements associated with class action litigation matters.
(4) Represents severance costs and related payroll taxes associated with a reorganization.
(5) Represents accrual adjustments related to product recall charges.
(6) We exclude the GAAP tax provision and apply a non-GAAP tax provision based upon (i) adjusted pre-tax net income (loss), (ii) the projected annual adjusted tax rate and (iii) the exclusion of material discrete tax items that are unusual or infrequent, such as the Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit related to the San Francisco Design Gallery in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The adjustments for the three months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 are based on adjusted tax rates of 23.2% and (63.1)%, respectively. The adjustments for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 are based on adjusted tax rates of 17.9% and 27.5%, respectively.
(7) Represents our proportionate share of the net loss of our equity method investments.
(8) Adjusted net income (loss) is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted net income (loss) as consolidated net income (loss), 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 (loss) is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted net income (loss) 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.

(1) For the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024 and for the nine months ended October 28, 2023, 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 three months ended October 28, 2023, we recorded a GAAP net loss and an adjusted net loss. As a result, the weighted-average shares used to calculate GAAP and adjusted diluted net loss per share are the same and there is no adjustment to the share count.
(3) Pro forma diluted net income per share for the three months ended November 2, 2024 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 19,909,594, which excludes dilution of 71,417 shares related to the 2024 Notes. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 19,831,761, which excludes dilution of 128,347 shares related to the 2024 Notes.

Pro forma diluted net income per share for the nine months ended October 28, 2023 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 22,061,551, which excludes dilution of 146,262 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes.

(4) Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” and the related footnotes for additional information.
(5) Adjusted diluted net income (loss) 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 (loss) per share as consolidated net income (loss), 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. Adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted diluted net income (loss) 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.

Such adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures 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 (loss) 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 (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” and the related footnotes for additional information.
(4) Represents amortization associated with capitalized cloud computing costs.

(b) Represents remeasurement of intercompany loans with subsidiaries in Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
(6) We define EBITDA margin as EBITDA divided by net revenues. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. We are not able to provide a reconciliation 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 measures in prior periods. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods could have a significant impact on our non-GAAP financial measures.
