Gary Friedman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our ability to curate and integrate new products, categories and businesses, then test and rapidly scale them across our multi-channel platform, is at the core of our ability to gain significant share and outperform our peers in the home furnishings marketplace. In the third quarter, net revenue growth accelerated to 22% on top of a 39% increase last year. Our adjusted net income growth of 56% in the quarter demonstrates the earnings power of our business model, and our team’s drive to deliver industry-leading results.”

Mr. Friedman added, “The business momentum and strong trends we are seeing for the remainder of the year give us further confidence in our financial outlook for fiscal 2014. We are increasing our adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $2.33 to $2.35, and expect to deliver our fifth consecutive year of net revenue growth in excess of 20%.”

Mr. Friedman continued, “We recently introduced the newest physical expressions of our brand, RH West Hollywood - The Gallery on Melrose Avenue, and our first next generation Design Gallery, RH Atlanta - The Gallery at The Estate in Buckhead. Our vision is to create spaces that blur the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, online and offline, transforming the traditional retail model from a way to shop to inspiring a new way to live. These new galleries feature garden courtyards and loggias, reflecting pools and trickling fountains, conservatories and rooftop parks with stunning views of the Hollywood Hills and Atlanta skyline. The Atlanta Gallery features our first ever retail presentation of RH Small Spaces plus a full floor dedicated to RH Baby & Child. We are extremely pleased with the early performance of these recently opened galleries - and believe that after seeing and experiencing them, one can truly understand the opportunity that lies ahead for RH.”

Mr. Friedman concluded, “Looking forward, we remain focused on our key value driving strategies including the expansion of our product offer, the transformation of our retail stores, and the continued enhancement of our multi-channel platform and operating infrastructure. While still in the early stages of building RH into the leading luxury home brand, we see a clear path toward $4 billion to $5 billion in North American sales, mid-teens operating margin, and significant free cash flow. I would like to thank all of our team members for their commitment to our cause, and our partners and shareholders for your continued support and belief in our brand. We wish all of you a holiday full of hope and happiness.”

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, 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, 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 2014 and the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015, 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 such as non-cash and other one-time compensation, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws including statements related to our future financial guidance, including for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015; our belief that our ability to curate and integrate new products, categories and businesses, then test and rapidly scale them across our multi-channel platform, is at the core of our ability to gain significant share and outperform our peers in the home furnishings marketplace; our expectation to deliver our fifth consecutive year of revenue growth in excess of 20%; our goal to build RH into the leading luxury home brand; our belief that we are well on track towards our long-term goal of $4 billion to $5 billion in North American sales, mid-teens operating margin, and generating significant free cash flow, and any statements or assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

We cannot assure you that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, among others, our ability to retain key personnel; successful implementation of our growth strategy; general economic conditions and the impact on consumer confidence and spending; changes in customer demand for our products; factors affecting our outstanding convertible senior notes; our ability to anticipate consumer preferences and buying trends, and maintaining our brand promise to customers; changes in consumer spending based on weather and other conditions beyond our control; risks related to the number of new business initiatives we are undertaking; our ability to obtain our products in a timely fashion or in the quantities required; our ability to employ reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect personal information that we collect; our ability to support our growth with appropriate information technology systems; risks related to “conflict minerals” compliance and its impact on sourcing, if any, as well as those risks and uncertainties disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Restoration Hardware Holdings’ Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014, and similar disclosures in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which are available on our investor relations website at ir.restorationhardware.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

[a] Store data represents retail stores plus outlet stores.
[b] Comparable brand revenue growth includes retail comparable store sales, including Baby & Child Galleries, and direct net revenues. Comparable brand revenue growth excludes retail non-comparable store sales and outlet store net revenues. Comparable store sales have been calculated based upon retail stores, excluding outlet stores, that were open at least fourteen full months as of the end of the reporting period and did not change square footage by more than 20% between periods. If a store is closed for seven days during a month, that month will be excluded from comparable store sales.
[c] Retail data has been calculated based upon retail stores, which includes our Baby & Child Galleries and excludes outlet stores.
[d] Retail sales per leased selling square foot is calculated by dividing total net revenues for all retail stores, comparable and non-comparable, by the average leased selling square footage for the period.
[e] Leased selling square footage is retail space at our stores used to sell our products. Leased selling square footage excludes backrooms at retail stores used for storage, office space or similar matters. Leased selling square footage excludes exterior sales space located outside a store, such as courtyards, gardens and rooftops. Leased selling square footage includes approximately 4,500 square feet related to one owned store location.
[f] Average square footage (leased or leased selling, as applicable) is calculated for each quarter by taking the total applicable square footage at the beginning of the quarter plus the total applicable square footage at the end of the quarter and dividing by two. Average square footage for periods of nine months is calculated by averaging the average square footage for the quarters within such periods.
[g] Direct revenues include sales through our catalogs and websites.

[c] 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 consolidated 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.

[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 consolidated net income (loss), adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income 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.

[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 issuance of the $350 million principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2014 (the “Notes”), we separated the Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components and we will amortize as debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the equity component as interest expense on the Notes over the term of the Notes. The equity component represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the Notes. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $0.9 million during both the three and nine months ended November 1, 2014.
