RH Reports Record Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results

Q3 2015 Adjusted Net Income Increased 37%; Adjusted Diluted EPS Increased 33% to $0.65 vs. $0.49 Last Year

Company Raises Fiscal 2015 Revenue Guidance to Range of $2.17 Billion to $2.18 Billion; Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance Increases to Range of $3.11 to $3.16

CORTE MADERA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RH (Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. – NYSE:RH) today announced record financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2015.

The Company will post a video presentation between approximately 1:15 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. PT (4:15 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET) today highlighting its continued evolution and recent performance on the RH Investor Relations website at ir.restorationhardware.com.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Net revenues increased 10% on top of a 22% increase last year
  • Comparable brand revenues increased 7% on top of a 22% increase last year
  • Adjusted operating margin increased 180 basis points to 9.4%; GAAP operating margin of 8.4% compared to 7.6% for the same period last year
  • Adjusted net income increased 37% to $27.7 million; GAAP net income of $20.7 million compared to $19.4 million for the same period last year
  • Adjusted diluted EPS increased 33% to $0.65; GAAP diluted EPS of $0.49 compared to $0.47 for the same period last year

Gary Friedman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the third quarter, we grew our adjusted operating margin by 180 basis points and adjusted net income by 37%, both ahead of our expectations, further demonstrating the disruptive nature of the RH brand and the power of our multi-channel platform. Net revenues increased 10% on top of 22% – representing our 23rd consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth.”

Mr. Friedman continued, “Since our IPO in 2012, we have outperformed our peers by a wide margin, while remaining focused on our two value-driving strategies – the expansion of our brand and the transformation of our retail stores. As it relates to the expansion of our brand, we are innovating and executing at an unprecedented pace and are extremely encouraged by the early results we are seeing out of our most recent launches – RH Modern and RH Teen. Our early data suggests that RH Modern is trending to add significant incremental revenues and opens up the RH brand to an entirely new market.”

Mr. Friedman added, “Furthermore, we continue to believe that our strategy of what is arguably the most significant retail transformation in history will prove to be the right one. We could not be more pleased with the early results out of our recently opened next generation Design Galleries in Chicago, Denver, and Tampa – each well on track to exceed our expectations. In addition, our first next generation Design Gallery – RH Atlanta – is comping up strongly now that the store has come up against its one year anniversary, despite not yet having RH Modern or RH Teen on the retail floor. We expect to see sales at RH Atlanta accelerate further once these concepts are added in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.”

Mr. Friedman concluded, “Over the past five years our compounded growth rates in total revenues, comparable brand revenues, and adjusted net earnings demonstrate the power of our platform, and a culture of innovation that is widely referenced but rarely seen in our industry. When we step back and consider the positive response to our two new businesses – RH Modern and RH Teen, the outperformance in all of our next generation Design Galleries, and the exciting new real estate and businesses we have in the pipeline for 2016 and beyond, we could not be more confident in our long term goal of reaching $4 billion to $5 billion in North American revenues, mid-teens operating margins, significant free cash flow and industry-leading return on invested capital.”

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures tables in this press release. These accompanying tables include details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. With respect to the Company’s non-GAAP guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and the fiscal year ending January 30, 2016, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various non-recurring and recurring reconciling items. For previous periods, such non-recurring and recurring reconciling items included non-cash and other one-time compensation expense, one-time income tax expense (benefit), and legal claim related expenses, among others. Certain items that impact these measures have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and as a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort.

[b] Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for GAAP purposes for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2014 (the “2019 Notes”) and for the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components and we are amortizing as debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the equity components as interest expense on the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes over their respective terms. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $0.4 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014, respectively.
[c] The adjustment for the three months ended October 31, 2015 represents the tax effect of the adjusted items based on our effective tax rate of 38.9%. The three months ended November 1, 2014 includes an adjustment to calculate income tax expense at a pro forma 40% effective tax rate.
[d] Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted net income as net income, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income is included in this press release 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 operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

Adjusted net income is included in this press release 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 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.
