To Our People, Partners, and Shareholders:

 

I'm pleased to report that our first quarter results reflect a return to growth as we are now past the most uncertain stages of our transformation.  In 2016, we transformed our business from a promotional to a membership model that we believe will enhance our brand, streamline our operations, and vastly improve the customer experience. We also began the redesign of our supply chain network, rationalizing our product offer, and transitioning inventory into fewer facilities, which enabled us to forgo building a planned distribution center scheduled to open this year.  2016 was also the first full year of many new business initiatives such as RH Modern, RH Teen, RH Hospitality, the redesign of our RH Interiors Source Book, the roll out of Design Ateliers across our retail Galleries, and the addition of Waterworks to our platform.  All of these new initiatives are expected to contribute to growth in 2017 and beyond.

 

While 2016 was a year of transformation and transition, 2017 will be a year of execution, architecture, and cash.  Our efforts will be focused on executing our new business model, architecting a new operating platform, and maximizing cash flow by increasing revenues and earnings, and reducing inventory and capital investments.  Our priorities include: the transformation of our real estate; the expansion of our product offer; and the design of our new operating platform, inclusive of the distribution center network, the in-home delivery experience, plus decision data and analytics to support long-term growth. Our goal is to break down the silos that exist in most businesses of scale, and cross functionally design a fully integrated operating platform that simplifies our business, enhances the customer experience, and amplifies decision quality and speed.

In 2017, we plan to invest in RH Hospitality, where we will incur substantial start-up costs to support the roll out of an integrated food and beverage experience similar to our successful Gallery at the Historic 3Arts Club in Chicago.  We've been successful blurring the lines between residential and retail, creating spaces that are more home than store.  The next logical step is to further blur the lines between home and hospitality by integrating cafes, wine vaults, and coffee bars into our Galleries. These multi-dimensional experiences activate all of the senses: sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, and generate significant customer traffic.  What RH President of Hospitality Brendan Sodikoff and his team have created in Chicago is nothing short of extraordinary, and we believe our new Galleries opening this year in Toronto, Palm Beach, and New York will redefine the retail experience in our industry.    

 

Our business is off to a strong start to the year with first quarter net revenues increasing 23%, of which approximately 6 points of growth was due to the acquisition of Waterworks and 6 points was related to higher outlet and warehouse sales stemming from accelerated inventory optimization efforts during the quarter.  Excluding these factors, our business grew by approximately 11%, with comparable brand revenues increasing 9% as we cycled the launch of the RH Members Program, and benefited from the mailing of our Fall 2016 RH Interiors Source Book and the Spring 2017 mailing of RH Outdoor.  

 

While our higher outlet sales and inventory optimization efforts had a positive impact on revenues in the first quarter, these sales, plus related mark-downs and inventory reserves, had a negative impact on margins and earnings.  As such, adjusted net income for the quarter was $1.8 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.05, versus a loss per share of $0.05 last year.

 

We recently completed the mailing of our second edition of RH Modern in May.  The new Source Book is filled with 480 pages of inspired design with new collections by world renowned designers and exclusive reissues of iconic pieces from the past.  We expect this new business to grow and gain share in the emerging market for modern furniture, and believe RH Modern has the potential to become a billion dollar brand.

 

While still in the early innings of our move from a promotional to a membership model, we are encouraged by the early data in regards to new membership growth and renewals as we anniversary last year’s launch of the RH Members Program.  We believe the benefits of eliminating the operational chaos and costs that are a result of constant promotions, and positioning our brand around product versus price, will drive high quality growth for years to come.  

 

While we expect revenue growth to accelerate, operating margins to expand, and to generate significant free cash flow in fiscal 2017, we are taking a cautiously optimistic approach to our outlook given the uncertain macro environment in addition to the many initiatives and investments we are undertaking.  Additionally, given our focus on the architecture of a new operating platform and maximizing cash flow, we may, as we are doing in our second quarter and fiscal year outlook, accelerate the rationalization of our product offer to enable us to more quickly optimize our network design, and turn unproductive inventory into cash.   Accordingly, we are guiding revenue for the second quarter to a range of $595 million to $610 million, a 9% to 12% increase over last year, adjusted net income to a range of $13 million to $15 million, which would translate to adjusted diluted earnings per share in a range of $0.38 to $0.43, assuming a weighted average diluted share count of 34.5 million.

 

For fiscal 2017, we are increasing our revenue guidance to a range of $2.4 billion to $2.45 billion, reflecting a more aggressive approach to rationalizing our product offer, reducing inventories, and increasing free cash flow.  While this approach will benefit revenues and cash flow for the year, it will have a negative impact on earnings.  As a result, we are lowering our adjusted net income guidance from a range of $65 million to $80 million, to a range of $60 million to $70 million, which would translate to adjusted diluted earnings per share in a range of $1.67 to $1.94, assuming a weighted

2

 


average diluted share count of 36.0 million.

 

As previously discussed, we believe there is an opportunity to improve returns by having a more disciplined approach to capital allocation.  Accordingly, we plan to reduce our new Gallery opening cadence to a range of 3 to 5 per year, which is expected to drive high-quality sustainable growth, while lowering capital requirements and execution risk over the course of our real estate transformation.  In fiscal 2017, we expect to open 3 next generation Design Galleries, all with integrated food and beverage.  We remain confident in reaching our long-term goal of $4 to $5 billion in North American revenues, industry-leading operating margins, and significant free cash flow and returns on invested capital.

 

We understand that many of the strategies we are pursuing - opening the largest specialty retail experiences in our industry while most are shrinking the size of their retail footprint and closing stores; expanding our Source Book mailings while many are eliminating catalogs; moving from a promotional to a membership model, while others are increasing promotions, positioning their brands around price versus product; and refusing to follow the herd in self-promotion on social media platforms, instead allowing our brand to be defined by the taste, style, design and quality of the products and experiences we are creating - are all in direct conflict with conventional wisdom and the strategies being pursued by many in our industry.  

 

We believe when you step back and consider we are - one, building a brand with no peer; two, creating a customer experience that cannot be replicated online; and three, have total control of our content from concept to customer - you realize what we are building is extremely rare in contrast to today's retail landscape.  Yet, our most valuable asset is not what we've done, but rather who we've become.  We've become a team of people who don't know what can't be done.  A team that is driven by our values and beliefs.  A team that is willing to march into hell, as we did last year, for a heavenly cause.  A team that has a bold vision for the future, and an organization that is demonstrating it can bring that vision to life.

 

Carpe Diem,

 

Gary

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

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

Represents the estimated cumulative impact of coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim alleging that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards.

[d]

Represents costs associated with a reorganization, which include severance costs and related taxes, partially offset by a reversal of stock-based compensation expense related to unvested equity awards.

[e]

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”) and for the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes and 2020 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 and 2020 Notes over their expected lives. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $0.7 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended April 29, 2017 and April 30, 2016, respectively.

[f]

The adjustments for the three months ended April 29, 2017 and April 30, 2016 represent the tax effect of the adjusted items based on our effective tax rates of 36.2% and 38.8%, respectively.

[g]

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 net loss, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is included in this press release because management 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. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

Adjusted gross profit is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted gross profit is included in this press release because management believes that adjusted gross profit 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 management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

[c]

Gross margin is defined as gross profit divided by net revenues. Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit divided by net revenues.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 management determined that we had incorrectly reported negative cash balances due to outstanding checks in the accounts payable and accrued expenses financial statement line item in our consolidated balance sheets without properly applying the limited right of offset against cash and cash equivalents. The revision decreased cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses by $2.5 million as of April 30, 2016.

The revision decreased net cash provided by operating activities by $15.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2016.

[b]

Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and net proceeds from sale of asset held for sale, less capital expenditures, construction related deposits, payments on build-to-suit lease transactions, purchase of trademarks and domain names and payments on capital leases. Free cash flow excludes all non-cash items, such as the non-cash additions of property and equipment due to build-to-suit lease transactions.

SECOND QUARTER AND FISCAL 2017 OUTLOOK

(In millions, except per share data)

 

RH’s fiscal 2017 will include 53 weeks compared to the prior fiscal year which included 52 weeks. The Company is providing the following outlook for the second quarter and fiscal 2017:

 

 

Second Quarter

2017

 

Fiscal Year

2017

Net revenues

 

$595—$610

 

$2,400—$2,450

% growth vs. prior year

 

9%—12%

 

12%—15%

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusted net income

 

$13—$15

 

$60—$70

% growth vs. prior year

 

nm

 

16%—35%

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusted diluted EPS inclusive of 7.85 million shares repurchased to date

 

$0.38—$0.43

 

$1.67—$1.94

Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding inclusive of 7.85 million

   shares repurchased to date

 

34.5

 

36.0

 

 

 

 

 

Capital expenditures

 

 

 

$120—$140

Planned asset sales

 

 

 

$15—$25

 

Note: The Company’s adjusted diluted earnings per share outlook excludes the potential benefit of any additional stock repurchases beyond those already completed to date and a one-time non-cash stock compensation charge of approximately $24 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 related to the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s recent equity grant. The Company’s adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to net income and diluted earnings per share in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share in prior periods, such as unusual non-cash and other compensation expense; one-time income tax expense or benefits; legal claim related expenses; reorganization costs including severance costs and related taxes; non-cash amortization of debt discount; and charges and costs in connection with the acquisition of Waterworks, among others. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Company’s adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs.
