NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—THE COMPANY
Nature of Business
RH, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a luxury home furnishings retailer that offers a growing number of categories including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, tableware, and child and teen furnishings. These products are sold through the Company’s stores, catalogs and websites.
As of August 4, 2018, the Company operated a total of 85 retail Galleries and 36 outlet stores in 32 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, and includes 15 Waterworks showrooms in the United States and in the U.K., and had sourcing operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s records and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of August 4, 2018, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017. The Company’s current fiscal year, which consists of 52 weeks, ends on February 2, 2019 (“fiscal 2018”).
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted for purposes of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. This reclassification had no effect on the previously reported consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations, and did not have a material effect on the previously reported consolidated cash flows.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Convertible Senior Notes
In June 2018, the Company issued in a private offering $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 and issued an additional $35 million principal amount in connection with the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers (collectively, the “2023 Notes”). In connection with the issuance of these notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions for which it paid an aggregate amount of $91.9 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants for which it received aggregate proceeds of $51.0 million. Taken together, the Company received total cash proceeds of $287.8 million, net of discounts upon original issuance and offering costs of $6.3 million. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes.
NOTE 2—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board issued their converged accounting standards update on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Under the new guidance, transfer of control is no longer the same as transfer of risks and rewards as indicated in the prior guidance.
7
Adoption and Accounting Policy
The Company adopted Topic 606 on February 4, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and recorded a decrease to opening retained earnings of $21.0 million, inclusive of the tax impact. Results reported within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for reporting periods beginning February 4, 2018 are presented under Topic 606 while prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).
Under Topic 606, changes were made to the recognition timing or classification of revenues and expenses for the following:
Description |
Policy under Topic 605 |
Policy under Topic 606 |
Advertising expenses |
Costs associated with Source Books were capitalized and amortized over their expected period of future benefit. Expense was amortized based upon the ratio of actual revenues to the total of actual and estimated future revenues on an individual Source Book basis, generally over a twelve-month period after they were mailed. |
Costs associated with Source Books are expensed upon the delivery of the Source Books to the carrier. In the case of multiple printings of a Source Book, the creative costs will be expensed in full upon the initial delivery of Source Books to the carrier. |
Gift card breakage |
Recognized gift card breakage (amounts not expected to be redeemed) within selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Recognize gift card breakage within net revenues proportional to actual gift card redemptions. |
Membership revenue |
Annual fees for new memberships in the RH Members Program and renewals were recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the twelve month membership period. |
Annual fees for new memberships in the RH Members Program are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and recognized as revenue based on expected product revenues over the annual membership period, using historical trends of sales to members.
RH Members Program renewal fees are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and will continue to be recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the twelve month membership period. |
Revenue recognition |
Revenue for merchandise that is not delivered via the home-delivery channel was recognized upon delivery. |
Revenue for merchandise that is not delivered via the home-delivery channel will be recognized upon shipment. |
Allowance for sales returns |
Recognized an allowance for sales returns as a net liability within other current liabilities. |
Recognize an allowance for sales returns on a gross basis as a liability within other current liabilities and a right of return asset for merchandise within prepaid expense and other current assets. |
Advertising expenses—The adoption of Topic 606 materially impacts the timing of recognizing advertising expense related to direct response advertising, including costs associated with the Company’s Source Books. Under Topic 606, the Company will recognize expense associated with the Source Books upon the delivery of the Source Books to the carrier. In the case of multiple printings of a Source Book, the creative costs will be expensed in full upon the initial delivery of Source Books to the carrier. Prior to adoption of Topic 606, costs associated with Source Books were capitalized and amortized over their expected period of future benefit. Such amortization was based upon the ratio of actual revenues to the total of actual and estimated future revenues on an individual Source Book basis. Each Source Book was generally fully amortized within a twelve-month period after they were mailed and the majority of the amortization occurred within the first five to nine months, with the exception of the Holiday Source Books, which were generally fully amortized within a three-month period after they were mailed. Upon adoption of Topic 606, capitalized costs associated with Source Books of $37.8 million that had been delivered to the carrier prior to or on February 3, 2018 were reclassified to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets, resulting in a decrease to the opening retained earnings balance.
Gift card breakage—Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes gift card breakage proportional to actual gift card redemptions and such breakage is recorded within net revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gift card breakage was previously recorded as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses when the likelihood of redemption was remote. Upon adoption of Topic 606, gift card liabilities of $6.0 million were reclassified to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets, resulting in an increase to the opening retained earnings balance.
8
Membership revenue—Under Topic 606, the annual fee for new memberships in the RH Members Program is recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and recognized as revenue based on expected product revenues over the annual membership period, using historical trends of sales to members. Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, new memberships were recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the twelve month membership period. This will result in a majority of revenue being recognized during the first six months of the membership period. The adoption of Topic 606 will not have an impact on membership renewal fees, which will continue to be recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the twelve month membership period, until the Company has more information regarding membership renewal purchasing trends. Upon adoption of Topic 606, deferred membership revenue of $3.8 million was reclassified to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets, resulting in an increase to the opening retained earnings balance.
Revenue recognition—Under Topic 606, the Company will continue to recognize revenue for merchandise delivered via the home-delivery channel upon delivery. Under Topic 606, revenue for merchandise delivered via all other delivery channels will be recognized upon shipment, whereas previously such revenue was recognized upon delivery. Upon adoption of Topic 606, deferred revenue (net of cost of goods sold) of $1.3 million was reclassified to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets, resulting in an increase to the opening retained earnings balance.
The Company adopted the practical expedient related to shipping and handling activities. Under this option, in instances where revenue is recognized for the related merchandise prior to delivery to customers (i.e., revenue recognized upon shipment), the related costs of shipping and handling activities will be accrued for in the same period. Costs of shipping and handling continue to be included in cost of goods sold.
Allowance for sales returns—In connection with adoption of Topic 606, the Company is required to recognize its allowance for sales returns on a gross basis rather than as a net liability. Upon adoption, this resulted in an increase to prepaid and other current assets (“right of return asset for merchandise”), with a corresponding increase to other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and did not impact the consolidated statements of operations. As of August 4, 2018, the right of return asset for merchandise was $6.9 million.
Sales tax collection from customers—Under Topic 606, the Company has not changed its policy regarding sales tax collected from customers. Sales tax collected is not recognized as revenue but is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets as it is ultimately remitted to governmental authorities.
In connection with adoption of Topic 606, the Company recorded a $6.6 million tax adjustment associated with the charges listed above to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets, resulting in an increase to the opening retained earnings balance.
Contract Liabilities
The Company defers revenue associated with merchandise delivered via the home-delivery channel. As the Company recognizes revenue when the merchandise is delivered to our customers, it is included as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets while in-transit. Customer deposits represent payments made by customers on custom orders. At the time of order placement the Company collects deposits for all custom orders equivalent to 50% of the purchase price. Custom order deposits are recognized as revenue when a customer obtains control of the merchandise. In addition, the Company collects annual membership fees related to the RH Members Program. New membership fees are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and recognized as revenue based on expected product revenues over the annual membership period, using historical trends of sales to members. Membership renewal fees are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the membership period, or one year. The Company expects that substantially all of the deferred revenue, customer deposits and deferred membership fees as of August 4, 2018 will be recognized within the next six months as the performance obligations are satisfied.
In addition, the Company defers revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to its gift cards and merchandise credits. Customer liabilities related to gift cards and merchandise credits was $19.1 million and $24.1 million as of August 4, 2018 and February 3, 2018, respectively. As discussed above, $6.0 million of the decrease was due to the reclassification of gift card liabilities to retained earnings upon adoption of Topic 606. During the three and six months ended August 4, 2018, the Company recognized $4.8 million and $9.7 million of revenue related to previous deferrals related to its gift cards and merchandise credits, respectively, and recorded gift card breakage of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company expects that approximately 70% of the remaining gift card and merchandise credit liabilities will be recognized when the gift cards are redeemed by customers.
9
The Company recognizes revenue from its stores and direct sales channels. Stores net revenues represent sales originating in retail stores, including Waterworks showrooms, and outlet stores. Direct net revenues include sales through the Company’s Source Books, websites, and phone orders, including its Contract business and a portion of its Trade business. During the three months ended August 4, 2018, net revenues recognized from the stores and direct sales channels were $361.9 million and $278.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended August 4, 2018, net revenues recognized from the stores and direct sales channels were $676.4 million and $521.8 million, respectively.

Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01—Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure for financial instruments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company adopted this new accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and such adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flow Classification
In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice regarding the manner in which certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted this new accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 which resulted in a change to the presentation of the construction related deposits within the statement of cash flows. The Company considers the construction related deposits to be “restricted cash equivalents” and therefore, under the new accounting guidance, is required to include such deposits in beginning and ending “cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents” on the statement of cash flows. Previously, funding of the construction related deposit accounts was included within the “investing” section of the statement of cash flows and usage of the deposits was presented as a non-cash transaction. Under the new accounting guidance, funding of the construction related deposit accounts will not be presented within the statement of cash flows and the usage of the deposits will be presented within the “capital expenditures” line item under the “investing” section. Adoption of this new accounting standard resulted in an increase of the beginning and ending “cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents” amounts for the six months ended July 29, 2017 of $28.0 million and $14.0 million, respectively, as well as resulted in an increase in capital expenditures for the six months ended July 29, 2017 of $17.3 million and a decrease in construction related deposits of $5.3 million for the six months ended July 29, 2017.
11
Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers
In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The new guidance requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intercompany asset transfer, other than transfers of inventory, when the transfer occurs. For intercompany transfers of inventory, the income tax effects will continue to be deferred until the inventory has been sold to a third party. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and such adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The new guidance clarifies when modification accounting should be applied for changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The standard will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this new accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and such adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02—Leases, which, for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-10—Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases), and Accounting Standards Update 2018-11—Leases (Topic 842)—Targeted Improvements, which (i) narrows amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, (ii) provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new standard, and (ii) provides lessors with a practical expedient for separating components of a contract. The ASUs are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and anticipates the new guidance will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements given that the Company has a significant number of leases.

NOTE 7—CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023
In June 2018, the Company issued in a private offering $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 and issued an additional $35 million principal amount in connection with the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2023 Notes will mature on June 15, 2023, unless earlier purchased by the Company or converted. The 2023 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2023 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of the failure of the Company to perform certain of its obligations under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2023 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2023 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2023 Notes is 5.1640 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $193.65 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2023 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
Prior to March 15, 2023, the 2023 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2018, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 4, 2018, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2023 Notes are not convertible as of August 4, 2018. On and after March 15, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2023 Notes at any time, regardless
14
of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2023 Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.
The Company may not redeem the 2023 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 2023 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
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 the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the Company separated the 2023 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2023 Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.35% over the expected life of the 2023 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2023 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.
Debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $1.7 million and third party offering costs of $4.6 million. Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2023 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three and six months ended August 4, 2018, the Company recorded $0.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.
The carrying values of the 2023 Notes, excluding the discounts upon original issuance and third party offering costs, are as follows (in thousands):

The Company recorded interest expense of $1.8 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2023 Notes during both the three and six months ended August 4, 2018.
2023 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes and exercise of the overallotment option in June 2018, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.7 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $193.65 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $91.9 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $309.84 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of 3.5 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The Company received $51.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2023 Notes until the Company’s common stock is above approximately
15
$309.84 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $22.3 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2023 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.5 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020
In June 2015, the Company issued in a private offering $250 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, in July 2015, the Company issued an additional $50 million principal amount pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of its June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2020 Notes will mature on July 15, 2020, unless earlier purchased by the Company or converted. The 2020 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2020 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of the failure of the Company to perform certain of its obligations under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2020 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2020 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s primary operating subsidiary, Restoration Hardware, Inc., as Guarantor. The guarantee is the unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and is subordinated to the Guarantor’s obligations from time to time with respect to its credit agreement and ranks equal in right of payment with respect to Guarantor’s other obligations.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2020 Notes is 8.4656 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $118.13 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2020 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
Prior to March 15, 2020, the 2020 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2015, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 4, 2018, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2020 Notes are not convertible as of August 4, 2018. On and after March 15, 2020, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2020 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2020 Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.
The Company may not redeem the 2020 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 2020 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

Accordingly, in accounting for the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company separated the 2020 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2020 Notes. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.47% over the expected life of the 2020 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2020 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.
Debt issuance costs related to the 2020 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $3.8 million and third party offering costs of $2.3 million. Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2020 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded $0.3 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During both the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded $0.5 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

2020 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2020 Notes in June 2015 and the exercise in full of the overallotment option in July 2015, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.5 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $118.13 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $68.3 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $189.00 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of 5.1 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The Company received $30.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2020 Notes until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $189.00 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $32.8 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2020 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $26.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019
In June 2014, the Company issued $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) in a private offering. The 2019 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2019 Notes will mature on June 15, 2019, unless earlier purchased by the Company or converted. The 2019 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2019 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of the failure of the Company to perform certain of its obligations under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. The 2019 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2019 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2019 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2019 Notes is 8.6143 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $116.09 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change,” the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2019 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
Prior to March 15, 2019, the 2019 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2014, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 4, 2018, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2019 Notes are not convertible as of August 4, 2018. On and after March 15, 2019, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2019 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2019 Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.
The Company may not redeem the 2019 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 2019 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
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 the issuance of the 2019 Notes, the Company separated the 2019 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2019 Notes. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 4.51% over the expected life of the 2019 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2019 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.
18
Debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Notes were comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers of $4.4 million and third party offering costs of $1.0 million. Discounts, commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2019 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

The Company recorded interest expense of $3.8 million and $3.6 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2019 Notes during the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $7.5 million and $7.2 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2019 Notes during the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively.
2019 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $116.09 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $73.3 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $171.98 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of 6.0 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The Company received $40.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual dilution from the conversion of the 2019 Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price from $116.09 per share to $171.98 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $27.5 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2019 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $28.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax assets are included in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Asset Based Credit Facility & LILO Term Loan
In August 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc., along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders.
On June 28, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an eleventh amended and restated credit agreement among Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., various subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “credit agreement”). The credit agreement has a revolving line of credit with availability of up to $600.0 million, of which $10.0 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200.0 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600.0 million to up to $800 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. In addition, the credit agreement established an $80.0 million LILO term loan facility. The credit agreement and LILO term loan have a maturity date of June 28, 2022.
In June 2018, the Company repaid the LILO term loan in full. As a result of the repayment, the Company incurred a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which represents the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs. The Company did not incur any prepayment penalties upon the early extinguishment of the LILO term loan.
On June 12, 2018, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to credit agreement. The Amendment (i) changes the credit agreement’s definition of “Eligible In-Transit Inventory” to clarify the requirements to be fulfilled by the borrowers with respect to such in-transit inventory, and (ii) clarifies that no Default or Event of Default was caused by any prior non-compliance with such requirements with respect to in-transit inventory. Eligible In-Transit Inventory consists of inventory being shipped from vendor locations outside of the United States. Qualifying in-transit inventory is included within the Company’s borrowing base for eligible collateral for purposes of determining the amount of borrowing available to borrowers under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to interest, at the borrowers’ option, at either the bank’s reference rate or LIBOR (or, in the case of the revolving line of credit, the Bank of America “BA” Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate, as such terms are defined in the credit agreement, for Canadian borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars or the United States Index Rate or LIBOR for Canadian borrowings denominated in United States dollars) plus an applicable margin rate, in each case.
The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on the ability to incur liens, make loans or other investments, incur additional debt, issue additional equity, merge or consolidate with or into another person, sell assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, or enter into transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations typical to credit agreements of this type and size. As of August 4, 2018, Restoration Hardware, Inc. was in compliance with all applicable covenants of the credit agreement.
As of August 4, 2018, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $437.8 million of availability under the revolving line of credit, net of $12.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. As a result of the consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) restriction that limits the last 10% of borrowing availability, actual incremental borrowing available to the Company and the other affiliated parties under the revolving line of credit was $392.8 million as of August 4, 2018.
NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Amounts reported as cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of activity within these accounts. The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

Carrying value represents the principal amount less the equity component of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes classified in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and does not exclude the discounts upon original issuance, discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs, as applicable. |
20
The fair value of each of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the trading price of the Company’s convertible notes, when available, the Company’s stock price and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to the Company (Level 2).
NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.9 million and $5.6 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $11.4 million and $3.7 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017. The effective tax rate was 4.4% and -245.0% for the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate was 11.1% and -48.5% for the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017. The effective tax rate in the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 was significantly impacted by discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation resulting from increased option exercise activity and appreciation of the stock price, the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 due to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), and discrete tax impact related to a legal settlement. The effective tax rate in the three and six months ended July 29, 2017 was significantly impacted by non-deductible stock-based compensation, as well as the Company reporting a net loss before income taxes and, to a lesser extent, the net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted in the United States. The Company recognized the income tax effects of the Tax Act in its fiscal 2017 financial statements in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which provides SEC staff guidance for the application of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period in which the Tax Act was signed into law. As noted in its fiscal 2017 consolidated financial statements, the Company was able to reasonably estimate certain effects and, therefore, recorded provisional amounts associated with the one-time transition tax on indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings and the adjustment to our deferred tax assets and liabilities for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate.
The Company has not made any additional measurement period adjustments related to these items during the three and six months ended August 4, 2018. As the Company continues its analysis of the Tax Act and interprets any additional guidance, it may make adjustments to the provisional amounts that have been recorded that may materially impact the Company's provision for income taxes.
As of August 4, 2018, the Company had $8.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $6.8 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of February 3, 2018, the Company had $8.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $6.5 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits would offset other deferred tax assets, if recognized. As of August 4, 2018, the Company had $0.4 million of exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months.
NOTE 11—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The weighted-average shares used for net income (loss) per share is presented in the table below. As the Company was in a net loss position for the three and six months ended July 29, 2017, the weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted are the same.

NOTE 12—SHARE REPURCHASES
$700 Million Share Repurchase Program
On May 2, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $700 million (the “$700 Million Repurchase Program”). Under the $700 Million Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased approximately 12.4 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $56.60 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $700 million, during the three months ended July 29, 2017. As the $700 Million Repurchase Program was completed during the three months ended July 29, 2017 there will be no repurchases in future periods under this repurchase authorization.
$300 Million Share Repurchase Program
On February 21, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $300 million (the “$300 Million Repurchase Program”). Under the $300 Million Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased approximately 7.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $38.24 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $300 million, during the three months ended April 29, 2017. As the $300 Million Repurchase Program was completed during the three months ended April 29, 2017 there will be no repurchases in future periods under this repurchase authorization.
Share Repurchases Under Equity Plans
As of August 4, 2018 and February 3, 2018, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the notes payable for share repurchases was $19.6 million and $19.4 million, respectively. As of August 4, 2018, $0.9 million and $18.7 million were included in other current liabilities and other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of February 3, 2018, $19.4 million was included in other non-current obligations. During both the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.3 million. During both the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.5 million.
Of the $19.6 million and $19.4 million notes payable for share repurchases outstanding as of August 4, 2018 and February 3, 2018, respectively, $15.5 million was due to a current board member of the Company.
NOTE 13—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company estimates the value of equity grants based upon an option-pricing model (“OPM”) and recognizes this estimated value as compensation expense over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes expense associated with performance-based awards when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. Once it becomes probable that an award will vest, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the number of shares which are probable to vest multiplied by the fair value of the related shares measured at the grant date.
Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6.1 million and $30.9 million during the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $14.1 million and $36.2 million during the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. No stock-based compensation cost has been capitalized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
22
2012 Stock Incentive Plan and 2012 Stock Option Plan
As of August 4, 2018, 8,031,998 options were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $52.63 per share and 6,125,419 options were vested with a weighted-average exercise price of $52.03 per share. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, options vested or expected to vest, and options exercisable as of August 4, 2018 was $660.2 million, $605.6 million, and $506.6 million, respectively. Stock options exercisable as of August 4, 2018 had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 5.62 years. As of August 4, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options was $25.6 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 2.90 years.
As of August 4, 2018, the Company had 594,408 restricted stock units outstanding with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $52.74 per share. During the three months ended August 4, 2018, 132,660 restricted stock units vested with a weighted-average grant date and vest date fair value of $58.73 per share. During the six months ended August 4, 2018, 163,275 restricted stock units vested with a weighted-average grant date and vest date fair value of $57.54 per share. As of August 4, 2018, there was $16.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.57 years.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Option Grant
On May 2, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors granted Mr. Friedman an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price equal to $50 per share.
The option contains dual-condition restrictions consisting of both time-based service restrictions over four years and performance-based restrictions linked to achieving the Company’s common stock price objectives of $100, $125 and $150 per share. The option is fully vested on the date of grant but the shares underlying the option remain subject to transfer restrictions to the extent the performance-based and time-based requirements have not been met. The option resulted in a one-time non-cash stock compensation charge of $23.9 million in the three and six months ended July 29, 2017.
Time-Based Restrictions
The time-based restrictions are measured over an initial four year service period from the date of the award and these restrictions will lapse at the end of each of these first four years at a rate of 250,000 shares per year if (i) Mr. Friedman remains employed at the end of such year, and (ii) the stock price goals have been achieved in such year as described further below.
Performance-Based Restrictions
The stock price objectives are measured each year and are set at prices for the Company’s common stock of $100, $125 and $150 per share. If all three stock price objectives are met in the first performance year, restrictions will lapse as to 250,000 shares in aggregate at the end of such year, with 83,333 shares tied to a $100 price per share, 83,333 shares tied to a $125 price per share and 83,334 shares tied to a $150 price per share.
The same price performance tests are applied in the second year of performance such that restrictions will lapse for an additional 250,000 shares at the end of the second year and then again as to an additional 250,000 shares at the end of each of the third and fourth years so long as Mr. Friedman remains employed at the end of each year.
To the extent that any of the price performance objectives is not reached within one of these first four performance years, the stock price objective can be achieved in any subsequent year until the 8th anniversary of the date of grant.
Rollover Units
In connection with the acquisition of Waterworks in May 2016, $1.5 million rollover units in the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Rollover Units”) were recorded as part of the transaction. The Rollover Units are subject to the terms of the Waterworks LLC agreement, including redemption rights at an amount equal to the greater of (i) the $1.5 million remitted as consideration in the business combination or (ii) an amount based on the percentage interest represented in the overall valuation of the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Appreciation Rights”). The Appreciation Rights are measured at fair value and are subject to fair value measurements during the expected life of the Rollover Units, with changes to fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Appreciation Rights is determined based on an OPM. The Company did not record any expense related to the Appreciation Rights during the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017. As of both August 4, 2018 and February 3, 2018, the liability associated with the Rollover Units and related Appreciation Rights was $1.5 million, which is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
23
In connection with the acquisition of Waterworks in May 2016, profit interests units in the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Profit Interests”) were issued to certain Waterworks associates. The Profit Interests are measured at their grant date fair value and expensed on a straight-line basis over their expected life, or five years. The Profit Interests are subject to fair value measurements during their expected life, with changes to fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Profit Interests is determined based on an OPM. For both the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded $0.1 million related to the Profit Interests, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For both the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recorded $0.2 million related to the Profit Interests, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of August 4, 2018 and February 3, 2018, the liability associated with the Profit Interests was $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
The Company had no material off balance sheet commitments as of August 4, 2018.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the ordinary course of its business. These disputes are increasing in number as the business expands and the Company grows larger. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. As a result, the outcome of matters in which the Company is involved could result in unexpected expenses and liability that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. In addition, any claims against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources.
The Company reviews the need for any loss contingency reserves and establishes reserves when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a matter would result in liability, and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Generally, in view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of those matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to reasonably estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no reserve is established until that time. When and to the extent that the Company does establish a reserve, there can be no assurance that any such recorded liability for estimated losses will be for the appropriate amount, and actual losses could be higher or lower than what the Company accrues from time to time. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of its current matters will not have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Securities Class Action
On February 2, 2017, City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, against the Company, Gary Friedman, and Karen Boone. On March 16, 2017, Peter J. Errichiello, Jr. filed a similar class action complaint in the same forum and against the same parties. On April 26, 2017, the court consolidated the two actions. The consolidated action is captioned In re RH, Inc. Securities Litigation. An amended consolidated complaint was filed in June 2017 asserting claims under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The complaint asserts claims purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of Company common stock from March 26, 2015 to June 8, 2016. The alleged misstatements relate to statements regarding the roll out of the RH Modern product line and the Company’s inventory levels. The complaint seeks class certification, monetary damages, and other appropriate relief, including an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. On February 26, 2018, the Court filed an order denying the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint and the case is in discovery. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company and its officers intend to vigorously defend the claims and believe the complaint lacks merit.
Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit
On April 24, 2018, purported Company shareholder David Magnani filed a purported shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, captioned Magnani v. Friedman et al. (No. 18-cv-02452). The suit names the Company as nominal defendant and also names as defendants Gary Friedman, Karen Boone, Carlos Alberini, Keith Belling, Eri Chaya, Mark Demilio, Katie Mitic, Ali Rowghani, and Leonard Schlesinger. On June 29, 2018, Hosrof Izmirliyan filed a similar purported shareholder derivative complaint in the same forum against Gary Friedman, Karen Boone, Carlos Alberini, Eri Chaya, Mark Demilio, Katie Mitic, Ali Rowghani and Leonard Schlesinger, captioned Izmirliyan v. Friedman et al. (No. 18-cv-03930). On July 29, 2018, the court consolidated both derivative actions, and the consolidated action is captioned In re RH Shareholder Derivative
24
Litigation. The allegations in the complaints substantially track those in the securities class action described above. Plaintiffs bring claims against all individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. Magnani also alleges insider trading and misappropriation of information claims against two of the individual defendants. On August 24, 2018, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint seeks monetary damages, corporate governance changes, restitution, and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that plaintiffs lack standing to bring this derivative action.
NOTE 15—SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company defines reportable and operating segments on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). The Company has determined that the Chief Executive Officer is its CODM. As of August 4, 2018, the Company had two operating segments: RH Segment and Waterworks. The two operating segments include all sales channels accessed by the Company’s customers, including sales through catalogs, sales through the Company’s websites, sales through stores, and sales through the commercial channel.
The Company’s two operating segments are strategic business units that offer products for the home furnishings customer. While RH Segment and Waterworks have a shared management team and customer base, the Company has determined that their results cannot be aggregated as they do not share similar economic characteristics, as well as due to other quantitative factors.
The Company uses operating income to evaluate segment profitability. Operating income is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense—net, loss on extinguishment of debt and income tax expense.

The Company uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating income excludes (i) a legal settlement, net of legal expenses, (ii) the lease loss liability adjustment associated with the Dallas distribution center closure, (iii) product recall accruals and adjustments, (iv) severance costs associated with the supply chain reorganization, including the closure of the Dallas customer call center, partially offset by a reversal of stock-based compensation expense related to unvested equity awards, (v) non-cash amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition of Waterworks, (vi) non-cash compensation charges related to a fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman and (vii) gain on sale of building and land. These items are excluded from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of segment operating results. Accordingly, these items are not presented by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our 2017 Form 10-K.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND MARKET DATA
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “short-term,” “non-recurring,” “one-time,” “unusual,” “should,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results and matters that we identify as “short term,” “non-recurring,” “unusual,” “one-time,” or other words and terms of similar meaning may in fact recur in one or more future financial reporting periods. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, include those factors disclosed under the sections entitled Risk Factors in Part II of this quarterly report, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 5, 2018 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”), in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 (“2017 Form 10-K”), and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report, in our First Quarter Form 10-Q and in our 2017 Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, as well as other cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
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. The forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Overview
We are a leading luxury retailer in the home furnishings marketplace. Our curated and fully-integrated assortments are presented consistently across our sales channels in sophisticated and unique lifestyle settings that we believe are on par with world-class interior designers. We offer dominant merchandise assortments across a growing number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, tableware, and child and teen furnishings. We position our Galleries as showrooms for our brand, while our Source Books and websites act as virtual extensions of our stores.
Our business is fully integrated across our multiple channels of distribution, consisting of our stores, Source Books and websites. As of August 4, 2018, we operated a total of 85 retail Galleries, consisting of 18 Design Galleries, 44 legacy Galleries, 2 RH Modern Galleries and 6 RH Baby & Child Galleries throughout the United States and Canada, and 15 Waterworks showrooms in the United States and in the U.K. In addition, as of August 4, 2018, we operated 36 outlet stores throughout the United States and Canada.
Key Value Driving Strategies
In order to drive growth across our business, we are focused on the following long-term key strategies:
|
• |
Transform Our Real Estate Platform. We believe we have an opportunity to significantly increase our sales by transforming our real estate platform from our existing legacy retail footprint to a portfolio of Design Galleries that are sized to the potential of each market and the size of our assortment. |
New Design Gallery sites are identified based on a variety of factors, including timing of legacy Gallery lease expiration, availability of suitable new site locations based on several store specific aspects including geographic location, demographics, and proximity to affluent consumers, and the negotiation of favorable economic terms to us for the new location, as well as satisfactory and timely completion of real estate development including procurement of permits and completion of construction. Based on our analysis, we believe we have the opportunity to operate Design Galleries in 60 to
27
70 locations in the United States and Canada. The increased cadence should support an increase in the rate of our long-term revenue growth as new Design Gallery openings are one of the key drivers of our long-term revenue growth. The number of Design Galleries we open in any fiscal year is highly dependent upon these variables and individual new Design Galleries may be subject to delay or postponement depending on the circumstances of specific projects.
We opened our Portland Design Gallery in March 2018 and our Nashville Design Gallery in June 2018. We expect to open our Design Gallery in New York, as well as our smaller Gallery in Yountville, California in the Napa Valley, in September 2018, both with integrated cafés, wine vaults and barista bars.
We have identified key learnings from our real estate transformation that have supported the development of a new multi-tier market approach that we believe will optimize both market share and return on invested capital.
First, we have developed a new RH prototype Design Gallery that will enable us to more quickly place our disruptive product assortment and immersive retail experience into the market. The new prototype is based on key learnings from our recent Gallery openings and will range in size from 33,000 square feet inclusive of our integrated hospitality experience to 29,000 square feet without. These new Galleries will present our assortments from RH Interiors, Modern, Baby & Child, Teen and Outdoor. Due to the reduced square footage and efficient design, we believe these new prototypes will be more capital efficient with less time and cost risk, but yield similar productivity. We anticipate these new Galleries will represent approximately two thirds of our target markets and enable us to ramp our opening cadence from three to five new Galleries per year, to a pace of five to seven new Galleries per year.
Second, we are developing a Gallery tailored to secondary markets. Targeted to be 10,000 to 18,000 square feet, we believe these smaller expressions of our brand will enable us to gain share in markets currently only served by smaller competitors. We expect these Galleries to require a substantially smaller net investment than our larger Design Galleries and to pay back our capital investment within two years in most instances.
Third, we will continue to develop and open larger Bespoke Design Galleries in the top metropolitan markets as we are doing in New York this year and as we are doing in San Francisco with a target opening date in 2019. We expect these iconic locations to be highly profitable statements for our brand and we believe they create a long-term competitive advantage that will be difficult to duplicate.
Fourth, we will continue to open indigenous Bespoke Galleries in the best second home markets where the wealthy and affluent visit and vacation. These Galleries will be tailored to reflect the local culture and be sized to the potential of each market. Examples of current and future Bespoke Galleries include the Hamptons and Palm Beach, and the Bespoke Gallery opening this year in Yountville.
Like our evolving multi-tier Gallery strategy, we have developed a multi-tier real estate strategy that is designed to significantly increase our unit level profitability and return on invested capital. Our three primary deal constructs are outlined below:
|
• |
First, in many of our current projects, we are migrating from a leasing to a development model. We currently have two Galleries, Yountville and Edina, under construction using this new model, and have an additional three development projects in the pipeline. In the case of Yountville and Edina, we expect to do a sale-leaseback that should allow us to recoup all of our capital, and possibly generate additional returns. In some cases we believe we may be able to pre-sell the property and structure the transaction where the capital to build the project is advanced by the buyer during construction which could require zero upfront capital from RH. |
|
• |
Second, we are working on joint venture projects where we share the upside of development with the developer/landlord. We are pursuing this model with respect to the development of our Aspen Gallery and Aspen Guesthouse where we are contributing the value of our lease to the development in exchange for a profits interest in the project. The developer will deliver to RH a substantially turnkey Gallery and Guesthouse, while we continue to retain a 20% to 25% profits interest in the properties. We would expect to monetize the profits interest at the time of sale of the properties during the first five years after development. The net result should be a minimal capital investment to operationalize the business, with the expectation for a net positive capital benefit at time of monetization of the profits interest. |
|
• |
Third, due to the productivity and proof of concept of our recent new Galleries and the addition of a powerful traffic-generating hospitality experience, we are able to negotiate “capital light” leasing deals, where as much as 65% to 100% of the capital requirement would be funded by the landlord, versus 35% to 50% previously. We currently have 12 capital light leasing deals in the development pipeline that would be scheduled to open in fiscal 2019 and beyond. |
We anticipate that all of the above deal structures should lead to lower capital requirements, higher unit profitability, and significantly higher returns on invested capital.
|
• |
Expand Our Offering and Increase Our Market Share. We believe we have a significant opportunity to increase our market share by: |
|
• |
growing our merchandise assortment and introducing new products and categories; |
28
|
• |
expanding our service offerings, including design services and cafes, wine vaults and coffee bars at our Design Galleries; |
|
• |
exploring and testing new business opportunities complementary to our core business; and |
|
• |
increasing our brand awareness and customer loyalty through our Source Book circulation strategy, membership program, our digital marketing initiatives and our advertising and public relations activities and events. |
During fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 we have deferred the introduction of major new product category expansions other than the ongoing development of RH Hospitality in conjunction with new Design Galleries. We plan a return to our product and business expansion strategy in fiscal 2019, which has been on hold as we focus on the architecture of a new operating platform and our move to a membership model. We also plan to increase our investment in RH Interior Design in fiscal 2019 with a goal of building the leading Interior Design Firm in North America. We believe there is a significant revenue opportunity by offering world class design and installation services as we move the brand beyond creating and selling products, to conceptualizing and selling spaces.
|
• |
Architect New Operating Platform. Our goal is to architect a new operating platform that we believe will simplify our business, enhance the customer experience, and amplify decision quality and speed. We have been focused on building an operating platform and customer culture that we believe will leapfrog us far beyond the customer experience and operating results that currently define our industry. Our work in home delivery includes a complete redesign of the network which we anticipate will significantly increase the time product remains in its original packaging, reduce returns and damages, and double the productivity of our delivery teams. We have also redesigned our call center network through closing a call center in Dallas, and opening a new Customer Delight Center at our headquarters in Corte Madera, CA, ensuring the voice of the customer rings through the corridors of our corporate campus daily. |
We expect our work architecting a new operating platform, inclusive of our distribution center network redesign, the redesign of our reverse logistics and outlet business, and the reconceptualization of our home delivery and customer experience, will drive lower costs and inventory levels, and higher earnings and inventory turns throughout the balance of fiscal 2018.
Looking forward, we expect this multi-year effort to result in a dramatically improved customer experience, continued margin enhancement and significant cost savings over the next several years.
|
• |
Increase Operating Margins. We anticipate improved operating margins through cycling our SKU rationalization and inventory reduction efforts, anniversarying the significant start-up costs from our integrated hospitality experience, neutralizing the earnings drag from Waterworks, benefitting from the continued cost savings of our new operating platform, and leveraging the gain we expect from our real estate transformation. In addition, we believe the operating efficiencies of our membership model are helping to drive a number of efficiencies across our business that are contributing to our improving operating margins. |
|
• |
Optimize the Allocation of Capital in the Business. We believe that our operations and current initiatives present a significant opportunity to optimize the allocation of capital in our business, including generating free cash flow and optimizing our balance sheet. Our focus on cash during fiscal 2017 resulted in the Company generating $415 million in free cash flow in fiscal 2017 (refer to “Share Repurchase Programs” below for our free cash flow calculation). We expect to continue to focus on generating additional free cash flow during fiscal 2018. |
|
• |
Pursue International Expansion. We plan to strategically expand our business into select countries outside of the United States and Canada in the future. We are currently exploring opportunities for Design Galleries in the UK and Europe, and believe there is tremendous opportunity for the RH brand to expand globally. We believe that our luxury brand positioning and unique aesthetic will have strong international appeal. |
29
We continue to pursue and test numerous initiatives to improve many aspects of our business including through efforts to optimize inventory, elevate the home delivery experience and simplify our distribution network, as well as to expand our product offering and transform our real estate. There can be no assurance as to the timing and extent of the operational benefits and financial contributions of these strategic efforts. In addition, our pursuit of multiple initiatives with respect to our business in any given period may result in period-to-period changes in, and increased fluctuation in, our results of operations. For example, our efforts to optimize our distribution network could cause us to incur costs and expenses in the short term with respect to changes in the way in which we operate our business. The above factors and other current and future operational initiatives may create additional uncertainty with respect to our consolidated net revenues and profit in the near term.

Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We define adjusted net income as 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 is included in this filing because management believes that adjusted net income provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted net income for the periods indicated below. |

(a) |
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”), for the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”) and for the $335 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2018 (the “2023 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components and we are amortizing as debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the equity components as interest expense on the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes over their expected lives. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $0.8 million during both the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $1.4 million and $1.5 million during the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. |
|
(b) |
Represents costs associated with a supply chain reorganization, including the closure of the Dallas customer call center, which include severance costs and related taxes, partially offset by a reversal of stock-based compensation expense related to unvested equity awards. |
|
(c) |
Represents the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the LILO term loan, the promissory note secured by our aircraft and the equipment security notes, all of which were repaid in full in June 2018. |
|
(d) |
Represents the non-cash amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with our acquisition of Waterworks. |
|
(e) |
Represents a legal settlement, net of related legal expenses. |
|
(f) |
Represents an adjustment to the lease related liability associated with the Dallas distribution center closure in fiscal 2017 primarily due to the remeasurement of the liability for lease losses resulting from a sublease agreement we entered into in April 2018 that resulted in an update to both the timing and the term of future lease-related cash inflows. |

The adjustment for the three months ended August 4, 2018 represents the tax effect of the adjusted items based on our effective tax rate of 4.4%. The six months ended August 4, 2018 includes an adjustment to calculate income tax expense at an adjusted tax rate of 11.6%, which is calculated based on the weighted-average fiscal 2018 quarterly effective tax rates. The three and six months ended July 29, 2017 assume a normalized tax rate of 39%. |

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, loss on extinguishment of debt and provision for income taxes. 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 filing because management 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 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. 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated below. |

Waterworks results include non-cash amortization of $0.2 million and $0.5 million related to the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with our acquisition of Waterworks during the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. |
Net revenues
Consolidated net revenues increased $25.5 million, or 4.1%, to $640.8 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $615.3 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. Stores net revenues increased $11.7 million, or 3.3%, to $361.9 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $350.2 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. Direct net revenues increased $13.8 million, or 5.2%, to $278.9 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $265.2 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. Comparable brand revenue was 5% for the three months ended August 4, 2018.
RH Segment net revenues
RH Segment net revenues increased $23.8 million, or 4.1%, to $607.6 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $583.8 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that resulted in increased RH Segment net revenues. Given the overall increase in RH Segment net revenues, our discussion below first lists, which we believe are in order of magnitude, all factors that contributed to the increase and then lists the factors that partially offset the overall increase.
34
RH Segment core net revenues increased due to the timing of our Source Book mailings, the introduction of new products and new product categories, including the strong performance of our RH Outdoor product line in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2017. In addition, RH Segment core net revenues increased due to an increase in retail weighted-average leased selling square footage related to new store openings, including West Palm Beach, Toronto, Portland and Nashville. The overall increase in RH Segment core net revenues was partially offset by additional discounts offered on discontinued merchandise related to the optimization of our inventory and SKU rationalization during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. RH Segment core net revenues also increased during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2017 due to increased revenues from our Contract business and RH Hospitality operations and increased Membership revenue.
Outlet sales, which include sales via warehouse locations, decreased $13.2 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to the three months ended July 29, 2017 primarily as a result of our inventory optimization efforts during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as we increased our outlet promotional activity and offered higher discounts. Similar promotions and discounts were not offered in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. This overall decrease was partially offset by an increase of eight outlet locations year over year, resulting in an approximate 33% increase in outlet selling square footage.
RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 were negatively impacted by $1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls. Product recalls and the establishment or adjustment of any related recall accruals can affect our results and cause quarterly fluctuations affecting the period-to-period comparisons of our results. No assurance can be provided that any accruals will be for the appropriate amount, and actual losses could be higher or lower than what we accrue from time to time, which could further affect results.
Waterworks net revenues
Waterworks net revenues increased $1.7 million, or 5.3%, to $33.2 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $31.5 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
Gross profit
Consolidated gross profit increased $65.8 million, or 32.0%, to $271.6 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from $205.8 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 9.0% to 42.4% of net revenues in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from 33.4% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended August 4, 2018 was positively impacted by $1.4 million related to insurance reimbursements and vendor credits associated with product recalls initiated in prior years, partially offset by the reduction of revenue and incremental costs associated with product recalls initiated in fiscal 2018. RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended July 29, 2017 was negatively impacted by $4.6 million related to the reduction of revenue and incremental costs associated with product recalls initiated in fiscal 2017.
Waterworks gross profit for the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 was negatively impacted by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition.
Excluding the product recall adjustment and the impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, consolidated gross margin would have increased 8.0% to 42.1% of net revenues in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from 34.1% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment gross profit
RH Segment gross profit increased $65.2 million, or 33.8%, to $258.2 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from $193.0 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin increased 9.4% to 42.5% of net revenues in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from 33.1% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
Excluding the product recall adjustment mentioned above, RH Segment gross margin would have increased 8.5% to 42.1% of net revenues in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from 33.6% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2017. The increase was related to higher outlet product margins due to higher outlet and warehouse sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 driven by increased promotions and higher discounts versus fiscal 2018, as well as improvements in our core merchandise margins as our SKU rationalization efforts had a reduced impact on our margins this year compared to last year. In addition, we achieved leverage in our occupancy costs primarily related to our distribution center network redesign.
35
Waterworks gross profit increased $0.6 million, or 4.7%, to $13.4 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from $12.8 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin decreased 0.2% to 40.4% of net revenues in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from 40.6% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
Excluding the impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, Waterworks gross margin would have decreased 1.2% to 41.0% of net revenues in the three months ended August 4, 2018 from 42.2% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $7.5 million, or 3.9%, to $186.2 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $193.7 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $7.9 million, or 4.4%, to $172.9 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared $180.8 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 4, 2018 included a $7.2 million legal settlement, net of related legal expenses, a $1.7 million charge related to the supply chain reorganization, including the closure of the Dallas customer call center, and $0.3 million related to product recalls.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 29, 2017 included $23.9 million related to a fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in May 2017, $0.1 million incremental costs associated with product recalls and a gain of $1.3 million related to the sale of building and land.
Employment and employee related costs, excluding the fully vested option grant to Mr. Friedman mentioned and severance costs associated with the supply chain reorganization above, increased $8.7 million during the three months ended August 4, 2018 as compared to the three months ended July 29, 2017, primarily related to growth in our retail business and Hospitality operations, as well as increased incentive compensation. In addition, advertising and marketing costs increased $7.4 million due to the circulation of the Spring Interiors and Modern Source Books in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. These Source Books had a significant impact to our advertising and marketing expense due to the adoption of Topic 606 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which resulted in the costs associated with Source Books being fully expensed upon delivery to the carrier. In addition, advertising and marketing costs increased due to the timing of our spring website launch, which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 29.2% and 26.9% of net revenues for the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively, excluding the adjustment related to the legal settlement, the reorganization and the product recalls mentioned above. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by an increase in advertising and marketing costs primarily due to the adoption of Topic 606 and the timing of our spring website launch, as well as increases in employment and employment related costs.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 3.3%, to $13.4 million in the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $12.9 million in the three months ended July 29, 2017. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses were 40.3% and 41.0% of net revenues for the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively.
36
Interest expense increased $3.1 million to $17.5 million for the three months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $14.4 million for the three months ended July 29, 2017. Interest expense consisted of the following:

Loss on extinguishment of debt
We incurred a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended August 4, 2018 due to the repayment in full of the LILO term loan, the promissory note secured by our aircraft and the equipment security notes in June 2018, which includes acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.6 million and a prepayment penalty of $0.3 million.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $2.9 million and $5.6 million in the three months August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 4.4% and -245.0% for the three months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate in the three months ended August 4, 2018 was significantly impacted by discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation of $13.9 million resulting from increased option exercise activity and appreciation of the stock price, the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 due to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), and discrete tax impact related to a legal settlement. The effective tax rate in the three months ended July 29, 2017 was significantly impacted by non-deductible stock-based compensation, as well as our reporting a net loss before income taxes and, to a lesser extent, the net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

37
Consolidated net revenues increased $20.8 million, or 1.8% to $1,198.2 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $1,177.4 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017. Stores net revenues increased $9.5 million, or 1.4%, to $676.4 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $666.9 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017.

RH Segment net revenues
RH Segment net revenues increased $16.3 million, or 1.5%, to $1,133.6 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $1,117.3 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that resulted in increased RH Segment net revenues. Given the overall increase in RH Segment net revenues, our discussion below first lists, which we believe are in order of magnitude, all factors that contributed to the increase and then lists the factors that partially offset the overall increase.
RH Segment core net revenues increased due to the timing of our Source Book mailings, the introduction of new products and new product categories, including the strong performance of our Outdoor product line in fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017. In addition, RH Segment core net revenues increased due to an increase in retail weighted-average leased selling square footage related to new store openings, including West Palm Beach, Toronto, Portland and Nashville. The overall increase in RH Segment core net revenues was partially offset by additional discounts offered on discontinued merchandise related to the optimization of our inventory and SKU rationalization during the first half of fiscal 2017. RH Segment core net revenues also increased during the first half of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first half of fiscal 2017 due to increased revenues from our Contract business and RH Hospitality operations and increased Membership revenue.
Outlet sales, which include sales via warehouse locations, decreased $26.1 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to the six months ended July 29, 2017 primarily as a result of our inventory optimization efforts during the first half of fiscal 2017 as we increased our outlet promotional activity and offered higher discounts. Similar promotions and discounts were not offered in the first half of fiscal 2018. This overall decrease was partially offset by an increase of eight outlet locations year over year, resulting in an approximate 33% increase in outlet selling square footage.
RH Segment net revenues for the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 were negatively impacted by $1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls.
Waterworks net revenues
Waterworks net revenues increased $4.5 million, or 7.5%, to $64.6 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $60.1 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017, primarily due to new product launches, particularly fittings for bath and kitchen, as well as growth in cabinet sales driven by our showrooms.
Gross profit
Consolidated gross profit increased $107.6 million, or 28.6%, to $483.6 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from $376.1 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 8.5% to 40.4% of net revenues in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from 31.9% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment gross profit for the six months ended August 4, 2018 was positively impacted by $1.7 million related to insurance reimbursements and vendor credits associated with product recalls initiated in prior years, partially offset by the reduction of revenue and incremental costs associated with product recalls initiated in fiscal 2018. RH Segment gross profit for the six months ended July 29, 2017 was negatively impacted by $4.6 million related to the reduction of revenue and incremental costs associated with product recalls initiated in fiscal 2017.
Waterworks gross profit for the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 was negatively impacted by $0.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition.
38
Excluding the product recall adjustment and the impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, consolidated gross margin would have increased 7.8% to 40.2% of net revenues in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from 32.4% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment gross profit
RH Segment gross profit increased $104.6 million, or 29.7%, to $457.2 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from $352.6 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin increased 8.7% to 40.3% of net revenues in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from 31.6% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2017.
Excluding the product recall adjustment mentioned above, RH Segment gross margin would have increased 8.2% to 40.1% of net revenues in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from 31.9% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2017. The increase was related to higher outlet product margins due to higher outlet and warehouse sales during the first half of fiscal 2017 driven by increased promotions and higher discounts versus fiscal 2018, as well as improvements in our core merchandise margins as our SKU rationalization efforts had a reduced impact on our margins this year compared to last year. In addition, we achieved leverage in our occupancy costs primarily related to our distribution center network redesign.
Waterworks gross profit
Waterworks gross profit increased $3.0 million, or 12.7%, to $26.4 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from $23.4 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin increased 1.9% to 40.9% of net revenues in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from 39.0% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2017.
Excluding the impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, Waterworks gross margin would have decreased 0.6% to 41.5% of net revenues in the six months ended August 4, 2018 from 42.1% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2017.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $12.4 million, or 3.5%, to $344.7 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $357.1 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $12.7 million, or 3.9%, to $317.6 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared $330.3 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 4, 2018 included a $5.3 million legal settlement, net of related legal expenses, a $2.1 million lease loss liability reversal associated with the Dallas distribution center closure completed in fiscal 2017, a $1.7 million charge related to the supply chain reorganization, including the closure of the Dallas customer call center, and a $0.3 million charge related to product recalls.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 29, 2017 included $23.9 million related to a fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in May 2017, $0.1 million incremental costs associated with product recalls and a gain of $1.3 million related to the sale of building and land.
Employment and employee related costs, excluding the fully vested option grant to Mr. Friedman and severance costs associated with the supply chain reorganization mentioned above, increased $14.8 million during the six months ended August 4, 2018 as compared to the six months ended July 29, 2017, primarily related to incentive compensation, as well as growth in our retail business and Hospitality operations. This overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in advertising and marketing costs of $5.2 million due to the timing of our Source Book mailings, partially offset by an increase in costs associated with the adoption of Topic 606 in fiscal 2018.
39
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 28.4% and 27.4% of net revenues for the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively, excluding the adjustment related to the legal settlement, the distribution center closure lease loss liability, the reorganization, the product recalls, the fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in May 2017 and the gain related to the sale of building and land mentioned above. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by increases in employment and employment related costs. Advertising and marketing costs as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to the timing of our Source Book mailings, partially offset by the impact of the adoption of Topic 606.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 1.3%, to $27.1 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $26.7 million in the six months ended July 29, 2017. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses were 41.9% and 44.5% of net revenues for the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively.
Interest expense—net
Interest expense increased $7.9 million to $34.5 million for the six months ended August 4, 2018 compared to $26.6 million for the six months ended July 29, 2017. Interest expense consisted of the following:

Loss on extinguishment of debt
We incurred a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the six months ended August 4, 2018 due to the repayment in full of the LILO term loan, the promissory note secured by our aircraft and the equipment security notes in June 2018, which includes acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.6 million and a prepayment penalty of $0.3 million.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $11.4 million and $3.7 million in the six months August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 11.1% and -48.5% for the six months August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate in the six months ended August 4, 2018 was significantly impacted by discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation of $14.9 million resulting from increased option exercise activity and appreciation of the stock price, the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 due to the passage of the Tax Act, and discrete tax impact related to a legal settlement. The effective tax rate in the six months ended July 29, 2017 was significantly impacted by non-deductible stock-based compensation, as well as our reporting a net loss before income taxes and, to a lesser extent, the net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The primary cash needs of our business have historically been for merchandise inventories, payroll, Source Books, store rent, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and updating existing stores, as well as the development of our infrastructure and information technology. We seek out and evaluate opportunities for effectively managing and deploying capital in ways that improve working capital and support and enhance our business initiatives and strategies. In fiscal 2017, we completed two share repurchase programs in an aggregate amount of $1 billion. A $300 million share repurchase was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and a $700 million share repurchase was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 (refer to “Share Repurchase Programs” below). We intend to evaluate our capital allocation from time to time and may engage in future share repurchases in circumstances where buying shares of our common stock represents a good value and provides a favorable return for our shareholders.
We have $985 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding, of which $350 million mature in June 2019, $300 million mature in June 2020 and $335 million mature in June 2023. While we anticipate using free cash flow to repay the convertible notes in cash to minimize dilution, we may need to pursue additional sources of liquidity to repay such convertible notes in cash at their respective maturity dates. There can be no assurance as to the availability of capital to fund such repayments, or that if capital is available through additional debt issuances or refinancing of the convertible notes, that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to us. Based on anticipated strong cash flow generation in 2018 and beyond, we expect to repay the outstanding principal of our $985 million convertible notes at maturity in June 2019, June 2020 and June 2023 in cash to minimize dilution. We believe the strength of our business and the reduction in leverage we have achieved during the past year puts us in a strong position to take advantage of the positive conditions in the capital markets. We believe we have multiple financing alternatives available to us on favorable terms that could provide us with additional financial flexibility with respect to capital allocation.
We extended and amended our revolving line of credit in June 2017, which has a total availability of $600.0 million, of which $10.0 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200.0 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600.0 million to up to $800.0 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. The revolving line of credit has a maturity date of June 28, 2022.
We believe that cash expected to be generated from operations, net cash proceeds from the issuance of the convertible senior notes, borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit and other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures and other capital needs for the next 12 months.
Our business has relied on cash flows from operations, net cash proceeds from the issuance of the convertible senior notes, as well as borrowings under our credit facilities as our primary sources of liquidity. We have pursued in the past, and may pursue in the future, additional strategies to generate liquidity for our operations, including through the strategic sale of assets, utilization of our credit facilities, and entry into new debt financing arrangements that present attractive terms.
41
As of August 4, 2018, we had approximately $852.8 million of net debt, excluding financing obligations under build-to-suit lease transactions, compared to approximately $1,052.2 million of net debt, excluding financing obligations under build-to-suit lease transactions, as of July 29, 2017. Over the last year, we have substantially reduced our net debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA from 5.1x at the end the second quarter fiscal 2017 to 2.4x at the end of the second quarter fiscal 2018. A reconciliation of our net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we received cash of $4.9 million for the sale of an aircraft, net of $0.3 million of costs to dispose of the aircraft, which was classified as an asset held for sale, and during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 we received cash of $10.2 million for the sale of a real estate parcel that we owned on which one of our retail Galleries was located, which was classified as an asset held for sale. We may in the future pursue additional strategies, through the use of existing assets and debt facilities, or through the pursuit of new external sources of liquidity and debt financings, to fund our strategies to enhance stockholder value. There
42
can be no assurance that additional capital, whether raised through the sale of assets, utilization of our existing debt financing sources, or pursuit of additional debt financing sources, will be available to us on a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we pursue additional debt as a source of liquidity, our capitalization profile may change and may include significant leverage, and as a result we may be required to use future liquidity to repay such indebtedness and may be subject to additional terms and restrictions which affect our operations and future uses of capital.
In addition, our capital needs may change in the future due to changes in our business or new opportunities that we choose to pursue. We have invested significant capital expenditures in remodeling and opening new Design Galleries, and these capital expenditures have increased in the past and may continue to increase in future periods as we open additional Design Galleries, which may require us to undertake upgrades to historical buildings or construction of new buildings.
We anticipate our gross capital expenditures to be approximately $125 million to $135 million in fiscal 2018, primarily related to our efforts to continue our growth and expansion, including construction of new Design Galleries and infrastructure investments. We anticipate that our fiscal 2018 capital expenditures will be partially offset by proceeds from sales of assets of approximately $50 million. During the six months ended August 4, 2018, our investments in capital expenditures totaled $61.2 million.
The majority of the current lease arrangements for our new Design Galleries require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs directly to third parties, rather than through traditional construction allowances and accordingly, we do not expect to receive significant contributions directly from our landlords related to the building of our Design Galleries in fiscal 2018. As we develop new Galleries, as well as other potential strategic initiatives in the future like our integrated hospitality experience, we may explore other models for our real estate, which could include longer lease terms or further purchases of, or joint ventures or other forms of equity ownership in, real estate interests associated with new sites and buildings. These approaches might require greater capital investment on our part than a traditional store lease with a landlord. We also believe there is an opportunity to transition our real estate strategy from a leasing model to a development model, where we potentially buy and develop our Design Galleries then recoup the investments through a sale leaseback arrangement resulting in lower capital investment and lower rent. In the event that such capital and other expenditures require us to pursue additional funding sources, we can provide no assurances that we will be successful in securing additional funding on attractive terms or at all.
There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient financial resources, or will be able to arrange financing on favorable terms to the extent necessary to fund all of our initiatives, or that sufficient incremental debt will be available to us in order to fund our cash payments in respect of the repayment of our outstanding convertible senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $985 million at maturity of such senior convertible notes. In addition, agreements governing existing or new debt facilities may restrict our ability to operate our business in the manner we currently expect or to make required payments with respect to existing commitments including the repayment of the principal amount of our convertible senior notes in cash upon maturity of such senior notes. To the extent we need to seek waivers from any provider of debt financing, or we fail to observe the covenants or other requirements of existing or new debt facilities, any such event could have an impact on our other commitments and obligations including triggering cross defaults or other consequences with respect to other indebtedness. Our current level of indebtedness, and any additional indebtedness that we may incur, exposes us to certain risks with regards to interest rate increases and fluctuations. Our ability to make interest payments or to refinance any of our indebtedness to manage such interest rates may be limited or negatively affected by credit market conditions, macroeconomic trends and other risks.
Any weakening of, or other adverse developments in, the U.S. or global credit markets could affect our ability to manage our debt obligations and our ability to access future debt. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise necessary funds on favorable terms, if at all, or that future financing requirements would not require us to raise money through an equity financing or by other means that could be dilutive to holders of our capital stock. If we fail to raise sufficient additional funds, we may be required to delay or abandon some of our planned future expenditures or aspects of our current operations.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discount and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.
For the six months ended August 4, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $70.2 million and consisted of net income of $92.1 million and non-cash items of $69.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash used for working capital and other activities of $91.5 million. Working capital and other activities consisted primarily of increases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $43.2 million related to vendor deposits, federal and state tax receivables due to prepayments, capitalized catalog costs and right of return asset for merchandise, decreases in accounts payable and accrued expense of $42.7 million related to timing of payments, as well as increases in inventory of $25.0 million and accounts receivable of $9.4 million. These decreases to working capital were partially offset by increases in deferred revenue and customer deposits of $20.8 million and increases in other current liabilities of $9.9 million.
For the six months ended July 29, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $314.4 million and consisted of a decrease in uses of working capital and other activities of $237.7 million and non-cash items of $87.9 million, offset by net loss of $11.2 million. Working capital and other activities consisted primarily of decreases in inventory of $140.3 million due to our SKU rationalization initiative, outlet inventory optimization efforts and revised DC network strategy. We also had decreases in prepaid expense and other current assets of $35.3 million primarily due to amortization of our capitalized catalog costs and a reduction in prepaid rent. In addition, we had increases in deferred revenue and customer deposits of $30.3 million and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $29.9 million due to the timing of payments.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities
Investing activities consist primarily of investments in capital expenditures related to new Galleries, investments in supply chain and systems infrastructure, as well as activities associated with investing in available-for-sale securities.
For the six months ended August 4, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $61.2 million due to investments in new Galleries, information technology and systems infrastructure, and supply chain investments.
For the six months ended July 29, 2017, net cash provided by investing activities was $134.2 million primarily as a result of sales and maturities of investments in available-for-sale securities of $145.0 million and $46.9 million, respectively, the proceeds of which were used to fund the share repurchases made under the $300 Million Repurchase Program. In addition, we had net proceeds from the sale of building and land and the sale of an aircraft of $10.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively. These increases to cash were partially offset by investments in new Galleries, information technology and systems infrastructure, and supply chain investments of $56.7 million and purchases of investments in available-for-sale securities of $16.1 million.
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities
Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings related to the convertible senior notes offerings, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, as well as share repurchases and other equity related transactions.
44
For the six months ended August 4, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $9.3 million primarily due to net repayments of debt of $311.9 million under the asset based credit facility, LILO term loan, equipment loans and promissory note secured by our aircraft. In addition, we made $6.2 million of payments on build-to-suit transactions. The repayments of debt described above were partially funded by the $335 million convertible senior notes issued in June 2018, which provided net proceeds of $287.8 million after taking into consideration the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, as well as discounts upon original issuance and offering costs. Finally, equity related transactions provided $21.3 million due to $29.2 million of proceeds from exercise of employee stock options, partially offset by $7.9 million of cash paid for employee taxes related to net settlement of equity awards.
For the six months ended July 29, 2017, net cash used in financing activities was $528.1 million primarily due to $1.0 billion of share repurchases made under the $300 Million Repurchase Program and $700 Million Repurchase Program. Cash funding for the share repurchase programs was provided by available cash balances, net borrowings under the asset based credit facility of $283.0 million, as well as new debt issued under the second lien term loan of $100.0 million, the LILO term loan facility of $80.0 million and a promissory note secured by our aircraft of $14.0 million.
Non-Cash Transactions
Non-cash transactions consist of non-cash additions of property and equipment and the issuance of notes payable related to share repurchases from former employees.
Build-to-Suit Lease Transactions
The non-cash additions of property and equipment due to build-to-suit lease transactions are the result of the accounting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840—Leases (“ASC 840”) for those construction projects for which we are the “deemed owner” of the construction project given the extent to which we are involved in constructing the leased asset. If we are the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes, upon commencement of the construction project, we are required to capitalize contributions by the landlord toward construction as property and equipment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contributions by the landlord toward construction, including the building, existing site improvements at construction commencement and any amounts paid by the landlord to those responsible for construction, are included as property and equipment additions due to build-to-suit lease transactions within the non-cash section of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Over the lease term, these non-cash additions to property and equipment due to build-to-suit lease transactions do not impact our cash outflows, nor do they impact net income within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Convertible Senior Notes
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023
In June 2018, we issued in a private offering $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 and issued an additional $35 million principal amount in connection with the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2023 Notes will mature on June 15, 2023, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2023 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2023 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of our failure to perform certain of our obligations under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2023 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2023 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2023 Notes is 5.1640 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $193.65 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2023 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2023, the 2023 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2018, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 4, 2018, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2023 Notes are not convertible as of August 4, 2018. On and after March 15, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2023 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2023 Notes will be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.
We may not redeem the 2023 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2023 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
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 the issuance of the 2023 Notes, we separated the 2023 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2023 Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.35% over the expected life of the 2023 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2023 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2023 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.
Debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $1.7 million and third party offering costs of $4.6 million. Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2023 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
2023 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes and the exercise of the overallotment option in June 2018, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $193.65 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $91.9 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock at a price of $309.84 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of 3.5 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received $51.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2023 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $309.84 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity (deficit), are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We recorded a deferred tax liability of $22.3 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2023 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.5 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020
In June 2015, we issued in a private offering $250 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, in July 2015, we issued an additional $50 million principal amount pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of our June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2020 Notes will mature on July 15, 2020, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2020 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2020 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of our failure to perform certain of our obligations under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2020 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2020 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed by our primary operating subsidiary, Restoration Hardware, Inc., as Guarantor. The guarantee is the unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and is subordinated to the Guarantor’s obligations from time to time with respect to its credit agreement and ranks equal in right of payment with respect to Guarantor’s other obligations.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2020 Notes is 8.4656 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $118.13 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2020 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
Prior to March 15, 2020, the 2020 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2015, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 4, 2018, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2020 Notes are not convertible as of August 4, 2018. On and after March 15, 2020, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2020 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2020 Notes will be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.
We may not redeem the 2020 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2020 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2020 Notes. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.47% over the expected life of the 2020 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values.

Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2020 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2020 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2020 Notes in June 2015 and the exercise in full of the overallotment option in July 2015, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $118.13 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $68.3 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock at a price of $189.00 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of 5.1 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received $30.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2020 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $189.00 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity (deficit), are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We recorded a deferred tax liability of $32.8 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2020 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $26.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019
In June 2014, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) in a private offering. The 2019 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2019 Notes will mature on June 15, 2019, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2019 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2019 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of our failure to perform certain of our obligations under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. The 2019 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2019 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2019 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2019 Notes is 8.6143 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $116.09 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change,” we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2019 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
Prior to March 15, 2019, the 2019 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2014, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 4, 2018, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2019 Notes are not convertible as of August 4, 2018. On and after March 15, 2019, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2019 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2019 Notes will be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.
We may not redeem the 2019 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2019 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2019 Notes. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 4.51% over the expected life of the 2019 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2019 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.
Debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Notes were comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers of $4.4 million and third party offering costs of $1.0 million. Discounts, commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2019 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
2019 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $116.09 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $73.3 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at a price of $171.98 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of 6.0 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received $40.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual dilution from the conversion of the 2019 Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price from $116.09 per share to $171.98 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We recorded a deferred tax liability of $27.5 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2019 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $28.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Asset Based Credit Facility
In August 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc., along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. On June 28, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an eleventh amended and restated credit agreement among Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., various subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “credit agreement”). The credit agreement has a revolving line of credit with availability of up to $600.0 million, of which $10.0 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200.0 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600.0 million to up to $800.0 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. In addition, the credit agreement established an $80.0 million LILO term loan facility which was repaid in full in June 2018. As a result of the repayment, we incurred a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which represents the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs. We did not incur any prepayment penalties upon the early extinguishment of the LILO term loan.
On June 12, 2018, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement. The Amendment (i) changes the credit agreement’s definition of “Eligible In-Transit Inventory” to clarify the requirements to be fulfilled by the borrowers with respect to such in-transit inventory, and (ii) clarifies that no Default or Event of Default was caused by any prior non-compliance with such requirements with respect to in-transit inventory. Eligible In-Transit Inventory consists of inventory being shipped from vendor locations outside of the United States. Qualifying in-transit inventory is included within the borrowing base for eligible collateral for purposes of determining the amount of borrowing available to borrowers under the credit agreement.
49
The availability of credit at any given time under the credit agreement is limited by reference to a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors, including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable. As a result of the borrowing base formula, actual borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit could be less than the stated amount of the revolving line of credit (as reduced by the actual borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the revolving line of credit). All obligations under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, intangible assets, property, equipment, goods and fixtures of Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., RH US, LLC, Waterworks Operating Co., LLC and Waterworks IP Co., LLC.
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to interest, at the borrowers’ option, at either the bank’s reference rate or LIBOR (or, in the case of the revolving line of credit, the Bank of America “BA” Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate, as such terms are defined in the credit agreement, for Canadian borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars or the United States Index Rate or LIBOR for Canadian borrowings denominated in United States dollars) plus an applicable margin rate, in each case.
The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on the ability to incur liens, make loans or other investments, incur additional debt, issue additional equity, merge or consolidate with or into another person, sell assets, pay dividends or make other distributions or enter into transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations typical to credit agreements of this type and size.
In addition, under our credit agreement, we are required to meet specified financial ratios in order to undertake certain actions, and we may be required to maintain certain levels of excess availability or meet a specified consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”). The trigger for the FCCR occurs if the domestic availability under the revolving line of credit is less than the greater of (i) $40.0 million and (ii) 10% of the sum of (a) the lesser of (x) the aggregate revolving commitments under the credit agreement and (y) the aggregate revolving borrowing base, plus (b) the lesser of (x) the then outstanding amount of the LILO term loan or (y) the LILO term loan borrowing base. If the availability under the credit agreement is less than the foregoing amount, then Restoration Hardware, Inc. is required to maintain an FCCR of at least one to one. As of August 4, 2018, Restoration Hardware, Inc. was in compliance with all applicable covenants of the credit agreement.
The credit agreement requires a daily sweep of all cash receipts and collections to prepay the loans under the agreement while (i) an event of default exists or (ii) the availability under the revolving line of credit for extensions of credit is less than the greater of (A) $40.0 million and (B) 10% of the sum of (a) the lesser of (x) the aggregate revolving commitments under the credit agreement and (y) the aggregate revolving borrowing base, plus (b) the lesser of (x) the then outstanding amount of the LILO term loan or (y) the LILO term loan borrowing base.
As of August 4, 2018, Restoration Hardware, Inc. had no outstanding borrowings and $437.8 million of availability under the revolving line of credit, net of $12.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. As a result of the consolidated FCCR restriction that limits the last 10% of borrowing availability, actual incremental borrowing available to the Company and the other affiliated parties under the revolving line of credit would be approximately $392.8 million as of August 4, 2018.
Share Repurchase Programs
During fiscal 2017, we repurchased approximately 20.2 million shares of our common stock under two separate repurchase programs for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $1 billion, which represented 49.5% of the shares outstanding as of the end of fiscal 2016. We generated $415 million in free cash flow in fiscal 2017 which supported our share repurchase programs. Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities and net proceeds from sale of assets held for sale, less capital expenditures, payments on build-to-suit lease transactions 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. Free cash flow is included in this filing because management believes that free cash flow provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our 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. A reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is as follows:

Amounts have been updated to reflect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which we adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption resulted in an increase of the beginning and ending “cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents” amounts for the year ended February 3, 2018 of $28.0 million and $17.9 million, respectively, as well as resulted in an increase in capital expenditures for the year ended February 3, 2018 of $33.7 million and a decrease in construction related deposits of $14.4 million for the year ended February 3, 2018. |
We believe that these share repurchase programs will continue to be an excellent allocation of capital for the long term benefit of our shareholders. We may undertake other repurchase programs in the future with respect to our securities.
$300 Million Share Repurchase Program
On February 21, 2017, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $300 million (the “$300 Million Repurchase Program”) through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b18 open market repurchases, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as accelerated share repurchases. During the three months ended April 29, 2017, we repurchased approximately 7.8 million shares of our common stock under the $300 Million Repurchase Program at an average price of $38.24 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $300 million. No additional shares will be repurchased in future periods under the $300 Million Repurchase Program.
$700 Million Share Repurchase Program
Following completion of the $300 Million Repurchase Program, our board of directors authorized on May 2, 2017 an additional stock repurchase program of up to $700 million (the “$700 Million Repurchase Program”) through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b18 open market repurchases, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as accelerated share repurchases including through privately-negotiated arrangements in which a portion of the share repurchase program is committed in advance through a financial intermediary and/or in transactions involving hedging or derivatives. During the three months ended July 29, 2017, we repurchased approximately 12.4 million shares of our common stock under the $700 Million Repurchase Program at an average price of $56.60 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $700 million. No additional shares will be repurchased in future periods under the $700 Million Repurchase Program.

Under the credit agreement, the asset based credit facility has a maturity date of June 28, 2022. |
(2) |
We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business. Most lease arrangements provide us with the option to renew the leases at defined terms. The table above does not include future obligations for renewal options that have not yet been exercised. The future operating lease obligations would change if we were to exercise these options. Amounts above do not include estimated contingent rent due under operating leases. Our obligation for contingent rent as of August 4, 2018 was $4.2 million. |
(3) |
Other non-current obligations include estimated payments for rent associated with build-to-suit lease transactions. These amounts may be reduced in the event we are able to effect a sale-leaseback on any of these locations. |
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of August 4, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates, and judgments on an on-going basis. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Management evaluated the development and selection of its critical accounting policies and estimates and believes that the following involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity and are most significant to reporting our consolidated results of operations and financial position, and are therefore discussed as critical:
|
• |
Revenue Recognition |
|
• |
Merchandise Inventories |
|
• |
Advertising Expenses |
|
• |
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets |
|
• |
Lease Accounting |
|
• |
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
• |
Income Taxes |
In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in a material change to the “Revenue Recognition” and “Advertising Expenses” critical accounting policies in fiscal 2018. Please refer below for our updated “Revenue Recognition” and “Advertising Expenses” critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the other critical accounting policies and estimates listed above from the disclosures included in the 2017 Form 10-K. For further discussion regarding these policies, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues and the related cost of goods sold when a customer obtains control of the merchandise, which is when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the merchandise. Revenue recognized for merchandise delivered via the home-delivery channel is recognized upon delivery. Revenue recognized for merchandise delivered via all other delivery channels will be recognized upon shipment. Revenues from “cash-and-carry” store sales are recognized at the point of sale in the store. Discounts or other accommodations provided to customers are accounted for as a reduction of sales.
We account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the merchandise to our customers. We apply this policy consistently across all of our distribution channels. In instances where revenue is recognized for the related merchandise prior to delivery to customers (i.e., revenue recognized upon shipment), the related costs of shipping and handling activities will be accrued for in the same period. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of goods sold.
52
We defer revenue associated with merchandise delivered via the home-delivery channel. As we recognize revenue when the merchandise is delivered to our customers, it is included as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets while in-transit.
We collect annual membership fees related to the RH Members Program. New membership fees are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and recognized as revenue based on expected product revenues over the annual membership period, based on historical trends of sales to members. Membership renewal fees are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the membership period, or one year.
Sales tax collected is not recognized as revenue but is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets as it is ultimately remitted to governmental authorities.
We reserve for projected merchandise returns. Merchandise returns are often resalable merchandise and are refunded by issuing the same payment tender of the original purchase. Merchandise exchanges of the same product and price are not considered merchandise returns and, therefore, are excluded when calculating the sales returns reserve.
Our customers may return purchased items for a refund. We provide an allowance for sales returns based on historical return rates, which is presented on a gross basis. We present the allowance for sales returns within other current liabilities and the estimated value of the right of return asset for merchandise within prepaid expense and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses primarily represent the costs associated with our catalog mailings, as well as print and website marketing.
Capitalized Catalog Costs
Capitalized catalog costs consist primarily of third-party incremental direct costs to prepare, print and distribute Source Books. Such costs are capitalized and recognized as expense upon the delivery of the Source Books to the carrier. In the case of multiple printings of a Source Book, the creative costs will be expensed in full upon the initial delivery of Source Books to the carrier.
Website and Print Advertising
Website and print advertising expenses, which include e-commerce advertising, web creative content and direct marketing activities such as print media, radio and other media advertising, are expensed as incurred or upon the release of the content or the initial advertisement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards in our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently proposed accounting standards which may impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks
Interest Rate Risk
We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging activity and we have no intention to do so in the foreseeable future.
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under our revolving line of credit which bears interest at variable rates and we may incur additional indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. As of August 4, 2018, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit. As of August 4, 2018, the undrawn borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit was $437.8 million, net of $12.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. As a result of the FCCR restriction that limits the last 10% of borrowing availability, actual incremental borrowing available under the revolving line of credit was approximately $392.8 million as of August 4, 2018. Based on the average interest rate on the revolving line of credit during the three months ended August 4, 2018, and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding on such line of credit, we do not believe that a 10% change in the interest rate would have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, we may increase our exposure to risk from interest rate fluctuations.
As of August 4, 2018, we had $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 outstanding (the “2019 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.
53
As of August 4, 2018, we had $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 outstanding (the “2020 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.
As of August 4, 2018, we had $335 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 outstanding (the “2023 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.
Market Price Sensitive Instruments
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019
In connection with the issuance of the 2019 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions relate to, collectively, 3.0 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2019 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2019 Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2019 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2019 Notes.
We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same group of counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $171.98 per share. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020
In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions relate to, collectively, 2.5 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2020 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2020 Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2020 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2020 Notes.
We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same group of counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $189.00 per share. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023
In connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions relate to, collectively, 1.7 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2023 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2023 Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2023 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2023 Notes.
We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same group of counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $309.84 per share. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
54
Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
55
From time to time, we and/or our management are involved in litigation, claims and other proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, including purported class action litigation, as well as securities class action litigation. Such legal proceedings may include claims related to our employment practices, wage and hour claims, claims of intellectual property infringement, including with respect to trademarks and trade dress, claims asserting unfair competition and unfair business practices, claims with respect to our collection and sale of reproduction products, and consumer class action claims relating to our consumer practices including the collection of zip code or other information from customers. In addition, from time to time, we are subject to product liability and personal injury claims for the products that we sell and the stores we operate. Subject to certain exceptions, our purchase orders generally require the vendor to indemnify us against any product liability claims; however, if the vendor does not have insurance or becomes insolvent, we may not be indemnified. In addition, we could face a wide variety of employee claims against us, including general discrimination, privacy, labor and employment, ERISA and disability claims. Any claims could result in litigation against us and could also result in regulatory proceedings being brought against us by various federal and state agencies that regulate our business, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Often these cases raise complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to risks and uncertainties and which could require significant management time. Litigation and other claims and regulatory proceedings against us could result in unexpected expenses and liability and could also materially adversely affect our operations and our reputation.
For additional information regarding certain pending securities litigation, refer to Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements within Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results or cash flows. For a detailed discussion of certain risks that affect our business, refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 (“2017 Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 5, 2018 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”).
The risks described herein and those described in our 2017 Form 10-K and First Quarter Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face. We describe in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report and First Quarter Form 10-Q certain known trends and uncertainties that affect our business. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. We have identified additional material changes to our risk factors set forth below.
We are subject to risks associated with our dependence on foreign manufacturing and imports for our merchandise.
Based on total dollar volume of purchases, in fiscal 2017 we sourced approximately 86% of our merchandise from outside the United States, including 77% from Asia and approximately 40% of our merchandise from China. In addition, some of the merchandise we purchase from vendors in the United States also depends, in whole or in part, on vendors located outside the United States. As a result, our business highly depends on global trade, as well as any trade and or other factors that impact the specific countries where our vendors’ production facilities are located. Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain our existing foreign vendor relationships and to develop new ones based on the requirements of our business and any changes in trade dynamics that might dictate changes in the locations for sourcing of products. In addition, we face risks related to the ability of our vendors to scale their operations whether in connection with new products we introduce or new production locations that may be introduced, which in some cases would require substantial ongoing investments to support additional capacity. In addition, we have previously encountered difficulties in the ability of our vendors to scale production commensurate with demand from our customers. While we rely on long-term relationships with many of our vendors, we have no long-term contracts with them and generally transact business with them on an order-by-order basis.
Many of our imported products are subject to existing duties, tariffs, anti-dumping duties and quotas that may limit the quantity or affect the price of some types of goods that we import into the United States. In addition, substantial regulatory uncertainty exists regarding international trade and trade policy, both in the United States and abroad. For example, recently President Trump has introduced a number of different tariffs on various goods imported from China. The Trump administration has also raised a number of other trade related initiatives that may affect importation of goods including renegotiation of trade agreements with Mexico and Canada as well as other countries and the possible introduction of further import duties or tariffs. On July 10, 2018, the Office of U.S.
56
Trade Representative announced a proposed 10 percent ad valorem duty on a subset of products imported from China, inclusive of various furniture and lighting product categories. We have evaluated the supplemental list issued by the U.S. Trade Representative on July 10, 2018 and believe that a significant subset of our furniture and lighting sourced from China would be affected by the proposed tariffs. While we are continuing to assess these proposed tariffs on Chinese imports, and believe that we can adjust our supply chain appropriately in the event that such tariffs become effective on a permanent basis, there can be no assurance that we will not experience disruption in our business related to these or other changes in trade practices and applicable rules.
Any changes to tariffs or other rules related to cross border trade, including the possible implementation of additional tariffs, could materially increase our cost of goods sold with respect to merchandise that we purchase from vendors who manufacture products in China or other countries outside the United States, which could in turn require us to increase our prices and, in the event consumer demand declines as a result, negatively impact our financial performance. Certain of our competitors may be better positioned than us to withstand or react to these kinds of changes including border taxes, tariffs or other restrictions on global trade and as a result we may lose market share to such competitors. In addition, to the extent that our competitors, our vendors or companies in other industries that manufacture products in China respond to the tariffs imposed to date or the possibility of future tariffs by shifting production to other countries in Asia or to other regions, the costs of production in such countries may increase, which may increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse impact on our product supply chain. Similarly, to the extent that we or our vendors respond to the tariffs imposed to date or the possibility of future tariffs by shifting merchandise purchases or production to other countries in Asia or to other regions, we may face delays or costs associated with developing new vendor relationships and our vendors may face delays or costs associated with bringing online new manufacturing facilities, which may increase the cost of our products or cause delays in the shipment of our merchandise that result in the cancellation of orders by our customers. An interruption or delay in supply from our foreign sources, or the imposition of additional duties, taxes or other charges on these imports, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations unless and until alternative supply arrangements are secured. Due to broad uncertainty regarding the timing, content and extent of any regulatory changes in the U.S. or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our dependence on foreign imports also makes us vulnerable to risks associated with products manufactured abroad, including, among other things, risks of damage, destruction or confiscation of products while in transit to our distribution centers located in the United States, charges on or assessment of additional import duties, tariffs, anti-dumping duties and quotas, loss of “most favored nation” trading status by the United States in relation to a particular foreign country, work stoppages, including without limitation as a result of events such as longshoremen strikes, transportation and other delays in shipments, including without limitation as a result of heightened security screening and inspection processes or other port-of-entry limitations or restrictions in the United States, freight cost increases, political unrest, economic uncertainties, including inflation, foreign government regulations, trade restrictions, increased labor costs and other similar factors that might affect the operations of our vendors in specific countries such as China.
In addition, there is a risk of compliance violations by our vendors, which could lead to adverse consequences related to the failure of our vendors to adhere to applicable manufacturing requirements or other applicable rules. Any such noncompliance could have an adverse impact on our business and may result in product recalls, regulatory action, product liabilities, investigation by governmental agencies and other similar adverse consequences. Any failure by our vendors outside the United States to adhere to applicable legal requirements or our global compliance standards such as fair labor standards, prohibitions on child labor and other product safety or manufacturing safety standards could give rise to a range of adverse consequences including the disruption of our supply chain as well as potential liability to us and harm our reputation and brand and could subject us to other adverse consequences including boycotts by our consumer or special interest groups including activists, any of which actions could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
Our operations have significant liquidity and capital requirements and depend on the availability of adequate financing on reasonable terms. If we fail to use our financial resources effectively, or if we are unable to borrow sufficient capital when needed, it could have a significant negative effect on our ability to grow our business.
We have historically relied on the availability of some amount of debt financing to fund our operations. We have also incurred indebtedness to finance other strategic initiatives, such as the aggregate $1 billion in stock repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors, which program was fully completed during fiscal 2017. We completed debt financings in fiscal 2014, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2018 through the issuance of three series of convertible senior notes for an aggregate principal amount of $985 million. As of August 4, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding borrowings and $437.8 million of availability under our revolving line of credit, net of $12.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. As a result of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio restriction that limits the last 10% of borrowing availability, actual incremental borrowing available to us and the other affiliated parties under the revolving line of credit was approximately $392.8 million as of August 4, 2018.
57
While we believe that we currently have sufficient capital for the operation of our business in the near term, we may expend some significant portion of our capital on investments in our business, the purchase of our equity securities, the acquisition of new businesses and our significant number of concurrent initiatives. In addition, our capital needs may change in the future due to changes in our business or new opportunities that we choose to pursue. We have invested significant capital expenditures in remodeling and opening new Galleries, and these capital expenditures have increased in the past and may continue to increase in future periods as we open additional Design Galleries, which may require us to undertake upgrades to historical buildings or construction of new buildings. During fiscal 2017, we spent $146.2 million for capital expenditures which was offset by proceeds from sales of assets of approximately $15.1 million. We anticipate our gross capital expenditures to be approximately $125 million to $135 million in fiscal 2018, primarily related to our efforts to continue our growth and expansion, including construction of new Design Galleries and infrastructure investments. Our fiscal 2018 capital expenditures will be partially offset by proceeds from anticipated sales of assets of $50 million. We plan to continue opening Design Galleries in select major metropolitan markets, pursuing category extensions of our brand, and exploring new business areas. We own the building and land for our Gallery in San Francisco, as well as the location of our wine tasting room in Yountville, California, which is expected to be the location of a Design Gallery in the future, but to date we have principally relied upon leases with landlords for our other locations. As we develop new Galleries, as well as potentially other strategic initiatives in the future like our integrated hospitality experience, we may explore other models for our real estate, which could include longer lease terms or further purchases of, or joint ventures or other forms of equity ownership in, real estate interests associated with new sites and buildings. These approaches might require greater capital investment than a traditional store lease with a landlord. In the event that such capital and other expenditures require us to pursue additional funding sources, we can provide no assurances that we will be successful in securing additional funding on attractive terms or at all.
While we seek to target capital toward investments that we believe will achieve favorable returns for our shareholders, these decisions involve a significant amount of judgment regarding the availability of capital and the anticipated growth of the business in both revenue and earnings in future periods. For example, the use of capital to repurchase shares may yield beneficial impact on earnings per share but may divert capital from other purposes including other investments that we might undertake with respect to the business. We can provide no assurances of the exact impact of any share repurchases on our business. Although our previous stock repurchase programs were intended to enhance long-term stockholder value by representing an attractive investment and use of capital by the Company, there can be no assurance that the stock repurchases under the program will in fact enhance stockholder value. For example, the market price of our common stock may subsequently decline below the levels at which repurchases were made. Furthermore, any strategy of this kind regarding capital allocation may have unanticipated effects on our business and financial results. We may also decide to pursue additional repurchase programs in the future. We may incur debt in connection with our business in the event that we use other cash resources to purchase shares, which may affect the financial performance of our business during future periods or our liquidity and the availability of capital for other needs of the business.
In addition, while we anticipate that we will be able to repay our debt maturities as they come due, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient financial resources or be able to arrange financing to repay these obligations, or that we will be able to extend their maturities or otherwise refinance our obligations as needed. For example, in certain circumstances, we may be required to repay the three series of convertible senior notes that we issued in fiscal 2014, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2018 with cash payments. See Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Convertible Senior Notes. Additionally, at the time the notes become due, the trading price of our common stock may be such that we may find it necessary to settle the notes in cash. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay the amount of cash due if holders surrender their notes for conversion. In addition, agreements governing any debt may restrict our ability to make each of the required cash payments even if we have sufficient funds to make them. Furthermore, our ability to purchase the notes or to pay cash upon the conversion of the notes may be limited by law or regulatory authority. In addition, if we fail to purchase the notes, to pay special interest, if any, due on the notes, or to pay the amount of cash due upon conversion, we will be in default under the respective indentures governing the notes, which in turn may result in the acceleration of other indebtedness we may then have. If the repayment of the other indebtedness were to be accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds to repay that indebtedness and to purchase the notes or to pay the amount of cash due upon conversion.
The need to repay our convertible senior notes or other debt obligations could cause us to incur additional borrowings or sell additional notes to investors. We may also experience cash flow shortfalls in the future, and we may otherwise require additional external funding, or we may need to raise funds to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, to make acquisitions of other businesses or companies or to respond to changing business conditions or unanticipated competitive pressures. Any weakening of, or other adverse developments in, the U.S. or global credit markets could affect our ability to manage our debt obligations and our ability to access future debt. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise necessary funds on favorable terms, if at all, or that future financing requirements would not be dilutive to holders of our capital stock. If we fail to raise sufficient additional funds, we may be required to delay or abandon some of our planned future expenditures or aspects of our current operations.
58
Our business is dependent on certain key personnel; if we lose key personnel or are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our business may be harmed.
The success of our business depends upon the continued service of certain key personnel, particularly our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gary Friedman. We face risks related to loss of any key personnel and we also face risks related to any changes that may occur in key senior leadership executive positions. Any disruption in the services of our key personnel could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and achieve our business goals and could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition. These changes could also increase the volatility of our stock price.
Many of our key personnel periodically travel together while on company business. We do not have a policy that prohibits key officers and directors from flying together, whether flying commercially or in our corporate aircraft. We face risks related to any loss of key personnel that might arise as a result of such travel arrangements. In addition, we do not maintain key man life insurance policies on any of our key personnel. As a result, we may not be able to cover the financial loss we may incur in losing the services of any of our key personnel.
We recently appointed a new President, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer connection with the retirement of the previous President, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer and we may face risks related to the transition of such position in our leadership team.
Competition for qualified employees and personnel in the retail industry is intense, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area where our headquarters are located, and we may be unable to retain personnel that are important to our business or hire additional qualified personnel. The process of identifying personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our goals is often lengthy. Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified management, marketing and sales personnel, and store managers, and upon the continued contributions of these people. In addition, our complex operations require the services of qualified and experience management personnel, with expertise in the areas including information technology and supply chain management. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified executives and personnel
In addition, our success depends in part upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of store and other employees who understand and appreciate our corporate culture and customers. Turnover in the retail industry and food and beverage industry is generally high. Excessive employee turnover will result in higher employee costs associated with finding, hiring and training new store employees. If we are unable to hire and retain store and other personnel capable of consistently providing a high level of customer service, our ability to open new stores, service the needs of our customers and expand our food and beverage business may be impaired, the performance of our existing and new stores and operations could be materially adversely affected and our brand image may be negatively impacted.
We expect that our common stock may experience increased trading volatility in connection with our Convertible Notes Financings.
In June 2015, we issued $250 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, on July 2, 2015, we issued an additional $50 million pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). In June 2014, we issued $300 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 and, on June 24, 2014, we issued an additional $50 million pursuant to the exercise of an overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the June 2014 offering (the “2019 Notes”). In June 2018, we issued $300 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 and, on June 26, 2018, we issued an additional $35 million pursuant to the exercise of an overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the June 2018 offering (the “2023 Notes” and, together with the 2019 Notes and the 2020 Notes, the “Notes”). In connection with each offering of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties (the “Bond Hedge”) and warrant transactions (the “Warrants” and together with the Notes and the Bond Hedge, the “Convertible Notes Financings”) with the same counterparties (the “hedge counterparties”).
We have been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedge positions with respect to the Bond Hedge and Warrants, the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates would likely purchase shares of our common stock or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes, including with certain investors in the Notes. These hedging activities could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of our common stock or the Notes.

In addition, we expect that many investors in, including future purchasers of, the Notes may employ, or seek to employ, a convertible arbitrage strategy with respect to the Notes. Investors would typically implement such a strategy by selling short the common stock underlying the Notes and dynamically adjusting their short position while continuing to hold the Notes. Investors may also implement this type of strategy by entering into swaps on our common stock in lieu of or in addition to short selling the common stock.
Further, investors in the Notes may periodically modify their arbitrage strategies with respect to the Notes or modify their hedge positions with respect to the Notes from time to time. The hedge counterparties and/or their respective affiliates also may periodically modify their hedge positions from time to time (and are likely to do so during the conversion period relating to any conversion of the Notes or following any repurchase of Notes by us on any fundamental repurchase date or otherwise). Such modifications may be implemented by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock, and/or by purchasing or selling shares of our common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions and/or open market transactions. The effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of our common stock or the trading prices of the Notes (which could affect a noteholder’s ability to convert the Notes or the amount and value of the consideration received upon conversion of the Notes) will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities, however, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
It is not possible to predict the effect that these hedging or arbitrage strategies adopted by holders of the Notes or counterparties to the Bond Hedge and Warrants will have on the market price of our common stock. For example, the SEC and other regulatory and self-regulatory authorities have implemented various rules and taken certain actions, and may in the future adopt additional rules and take other actions, that may impact those engaging in short selling activity involving equity securities (including our common stock). Such rules and actions include Rule 201 of SEC Regulation SHO, the adoption by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. of a “Limit Up-Limit Down” program, the imposition of market-wide circuit breakers that halt trading of securities for certain periods following specific market declines, and the implementation of certain regulatory reforms required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Any changes in government regulations or other factors that affect the manner in which third parties can engage in hedging strategies, including entering into short sales or swaps on our common stock, could adversely affect the trading prices and the liquidity of the Notes and/or our common stock.
Taken together, the Bond Hedge and Warrants are intended, but not guaranteed, to offset any actual earnings dilution that could occur upon delivery of shares of common stock to satisfy to our conversion obligation under the Notes. For the 2020 Notes, the corresponding Bond Hedge and Warrants are intended to limit the earnings dilution that our stockholders would experience until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $189.00 per share, the strike price of the 2020 Notes warrant transactions, which represented a 100% premium over the closing price of our common stock at the time we entered into the Bond Hedge and Warrants related to the 2020 Notes. For the 2019 Notes, the corresponding Bond Hedge and Warrants are intended to limit the earnings dilution that our stockholders would experience until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $171.98 per share, the strike price of the 2019 Notes warrant transactions, which represented a 100% premium over the closing price of our common stock at the time we entered into the Bond Hedge and Warrants related to the 2019 Notes. For the 2023 Notes, the corresponding Bond Hedge and Warrants are intended to limit the earnings dilution that our stockholders would experience until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $309.84 per share, the strike price of the 2023 Notes warrant transactions, which represented a 100% premium over the closing price of our common stock at the time we entered into the Bond Hedge and Warrants related to the 2023 Notes. However, these transactions are complex, and there can be no assurance that they will operate as planned.
We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any potential effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, we do not make any representation that the counterparties to those transactions will engage in these transactions or activities or that these transactions and activities, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice; the counterparties or their affiliates may choose to engage in, or discontinue engaging in, any of these transactions or activities with or without notice at any time, and their decisions will be in their sole discretion and not within our control.
