There are no adjustments to GAAP net revenues in any period presented in this press release.

TO OUR PEOPLE, PARTNERS AND SHAREHOLDERS,

Net revenues of $751 million were at the mid-point of our guidance for the quarter, and adjusted operating margin of 7.3% was slightly below expectations due to higher than anticipated expenses, including international openings as well as costs related to our pending acquisition of the New York Guesthouse property and unsuccessful efforts to secure the iconic One Ocean Drive Miami Beach location.

While pleased with improved demand trends generated from the launch of our new RH Interiors and RH Contemporary collections, we experienced increased headwinds in early October when mortgage rates peaked above 8%, and the Hamas invasion of Israel triggered the war in the Middle East.

With 82% of homeowners having mortgages below 5%, and 62% below 4%, we continue to expect the existing housing market to remain frozen until interest rates and/or home prices fall meaningfully. Additionally, the home furnishings market has become increasingly promotional, and we believe that will create a mix shift towards clearance products, pressuring gross margins. In light of the current market we are delaying the mailing of our RH Modern Sourcebook until the first quarter of fiscal 2024 when demand conditions will likely be more favorable.

As a result, we are narrowing our revenue guidance range for the year to $3.06 billion to $3.08 billion, and now expect adjusted operating margin to be in the range of 13.6% to 14.0%.

As mentioned, we are in contract to make an opportunistic purchase of the New York Guesthouse property for approximately $58 million, scheduled to close in the fourth quarter. The building was appraised at $85 million last September when the Federal Funds rate was half the level it is today. We believe controlling the outcome of this one-of-a-kind property is in our best interest. However, we will be poised to take advantage of any opportunity to do a sale-leaseback with the appropriate investor when the commercial real estate market rebounds in the future.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


PRODUCT ELEVATION

We expect our demand trends to accelerate though the first half of 2024 as our product transformation unfolds, in-stocks improve, we complete the reset of our Galleries, and introduce our new RH Modern and RH Outdoor Sourcebooks in the first quarter of next year. We anticipate our inflection point will peak in the second quarter of 2024 as our new collections fully ramp and we begin another cycle of Sourcebook mailings, completely transforming and refreshing the entire brand over a 12-month period.

We believe our latest collections reflect a level of design and quality inaccessible in our current market and a value proposition that will be disruptive across multiple markets, positioning RH to gain market share throughout fiscal 2024. While a product transformation of this magnitude will be margin dilutive in the short term, we believe it will become margin accretive over the long term as selling rates stabilize and allow for supply chain and sourcing efficiencies.

PLATFORM EXPANSION

Our plan to expand the RH brand globally, address new markets locally and transform our North American Galleries represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity.

As discussed last quarter, we introduced RH to the UK this past summer in a dramatic and unforgettable fashion with the opening of RH England, The Gallery at the Historic Aynho Park, a 17th-century, 73-acre estate that is a celebration of History, Design, Food and Wine. We had a spectacular turnout for our opening event and the global press coverage the brand received was multiple times greater than any Gallery we have ever opened. Due to RH England’s countryside location, we expect the majority of the revenues to be driven by our Interior Design and Trade businesses, which are dependent on building books of business with high-value repeat clients like Interior Design Firms and Hospitality projects. The quote book and demand continue to build monthly, despite the seasonal nature of the location. Our first UK Interiors Sourcebook was in home in October, with our next contact planned to be our RH Modern and RH Outdoor Sourcebooks in the first quarter of 2024.

In November we opened two new international Galleries, RH Munich and RH Düsseldorf. The response to our opening events was beyond our expectations, with RH Munich hosting over 900 chic attendees roaming the three floors with Cipriani Bellinis and Vesper Martinis, and traffic in both Galleries has been strong since opening.

Although RH England is our most unique and spectacular Gallery to date, and the only one with a hospitality component in Europe, all three are architecturally impressive, multi-level expressions of the RH brand, only to be outdone by our even more impressive teams in each location. While many retailers boast of a capital-light, franchise or licensing approach to international expansion, we believe the only way to build a brand and optimize the business globally, is to invest into, and control the brand in the same manner we do locally. With people who live and breathe our values, because it’s their values. People who will lead our cause and build our culture, because it’s their cause, and it’s their culture. We believe when you aspire to be the very best in the world, there are no shortcuts, and greatness can never be delegated, nor licensed or franchised.

Our next international openings include RH Brussels, The Gallery on the Boulevard De Waterloo, and RH Madrid, The Gallery on the Plaza Marques De Salamanca in the first half of 2024, followed by RH Paris, The Gallery on the Champs-Elysées in the fall of next year.

RH Paris is one building from the corner of the Avenue Montaigne, known as one of the most exclusive and luxurious arteries in the capital, and the chosen home of the major haute-couture brands such as Chanel, Dior, Vuitton, Celine, Saint Laurent, and many others. We believe the space we have designed for this location will position RH as a place-maker in the luxury fashion capital of the world. RH Paris will be a six-floor jewel-box connected by a dramatic, ornate scissor stair and a central glass elevator that will whisk you up to the fifth floor and rooftop Champagne & Caviar Bar, where you can take in views of the Eiffel Tower while enjoying our innovative menu featuring the finest Petrossian Caviars. You can also visit the second floor and dine in our dramatic atrium restaurant, inspired by the Grand Palais. With an onyx-carved bar, floors, walls and tables looking out into the beautifully landscaped courtyard with 30-foot ivy-covered walls, it’s like dining in a secret garden, erasing the noise and chaos of the outside world. Mark your calendars for early September, RH Paris will be an opening party you won’t want to miss.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


We are also under construction in London and Milan in inspiring spaces that will celebrate the heritage of the historic structures and will integrate full expressions of our hospitality experiences. Our current plans call for opening both Galleries in 2025. We are also anticipating gaining local approvals soon for RH Sydney, the Gallery in Double Bay, with plans to open in late 2025 or early 2026.

Regarding our North American transformation, we opened RH Indianapolis, The Gallery at the DeHaan Estate, one of the most accurate Palladian-style villas ever built in the United States. The estate spans 151 acres and over 60 rooms, looking over a 35-acre lake, and represents one of the largest, most inspiring and immersive physical expressions of our brand to date.

With construction delays pushing RH Cleveland into the first quarter of next year, our plan now includes opening five North American Design Galleries in 2024, inclusive of RH Palo Alto, RH Cleveland and RH Raleigh in the first half of next year, and RH Montecito and RH Newport Beach in the second half.

We also believe there is an opportunity to address new markets locally by opening Design Studios in neighborhoods, towns and small cities where the wealthy and affluent live, visit and vacation. We have several existing locations that have validated this strategy in East Hampton, Yountville, Los Gatos, Pasadena and our former San Francisco Gallery in the Design District, where we have generated annual revenues in the range of $5 to $20 million in 2,000 to 5,000 square feet. We have secured our first new location for a Design Studio in Palm Desert, which should open in the first half of 2024.

We have identified over 40 locations that are incremental to our previous plans in North America and believe the results of these Design Studios will provide data that could lead to opening larger Galleries in those markets.

RH BUSINESS VISION & ECOSYSTEM − THE LONG VIEW

We believe, “There are those with taste and no scale, and those with scale and no taste,” and the idea of scaling taste is large and far reaching.

Our goal to position RH as the arbiter of taste for the home has proven to be both disruptive and lucrative, as we continue our quest to build the most admired brand in the world.

Our brand attracts the leading designers, artisans and manufacturers, scaling and rendering their work more valuable across our integrated platform, enabling RH to curate the most compelling collection of luxury home products on the planet.

Our efforts to elevate and expand our collection will continue with the introductions of RH Couture, RH Bespoke, RH Color, RH Antiques & Artifacts, RH Atelier and other new collections scheduled to launch over the next decade.

Our plan to open immersive Design Galleries in every major market will unlock the value of our vast assortment, generating revenues of $5 to $6 billion in North America, and $20 to $25 billion globally.

Our strategy is to move the brand beyond curating and selling product to conceptualizing and selling spaces, by building an ecosystem of Products, Places, Services and Spaces that establishes the RH brand as a global thought leader, taste and place maker.

Our products are elevated and rendered more valuable by our architecturally inspiring Galleries, which are further elevated and rendered more valuable by our interior design services and seamlessly integrated hospitality experience.

Our hospitality efforts will continue to elevate the RH brand as we extend beyond the four walls of our Galleries into RH Guesthouses, where our goal is to create a new market for travelers seeking privacy and luxury in the $200 billion North American hotel industry. Additionally, we are creating bespoke experiences like RH Yountville, an integration of Food, Wine, Art & Design in the Napa Valley, RH1 and RH2, our private jets, and RH3, our luxury yacht that is available for charter in the Caribbean and Mediterranean where the wealthy and affluent visit and vacation. These immersive experiences expose new and existing customers to our evolving authority in architecture, interior design and landscape architecture.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER


This leads to our long-term strategy of building the world’s first consumer-facing architecture, interior design and landscape architecture services platform inside our Galleries, elevating the RH brand and amplifying our core business by adding new revenue streams while disrupting and redefining multiple industries.

Our strategy comes full circle as we begin to conceptualize and sell spaces, moving beyond the $170 billion home furnishings market into the $1.7 trillion North American housing market with the launch of RH Residences − fully furnished luxury homes, condominiums and apartments with integrated services that deliver taste and time value to discerning time-starved consumers.

The entirety of our strategy comes to life digitally with The World of RH, an online portal where customers can explore and be inspired by the depth and dimension of our brand.

Our authority as an arbiter of taste will be further amplified when we introduce RH Media, a content platform that will celebrate the most innovative and influential leaders who are shaping the world of architecture and design.

Our plan to expand the RH ecosystem globally multiplies the market opportunity to $7 to $10 trillion, one of the largest and most valuable addressed by any brand in the world today. A one percent share of the global market represents a $70 to $100 billion opportunity.

Our ecosystem of Products, Places, Services and Spaces inspires customers to dream, design, dine, travel and live in a world thoughtfully curated by RH, creating an emotional connection unlike any other brand in the world.

Taste can be elusive, and we believe no one is better positioned than RH to create an ecosystem that makes taste inclusive and, by doing so, elevating and rendering our way of life more valuable.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A FEW GOOD PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT CAN’T BE DONE

For the past 23 years we’ve heard others tell us what can’t be done, and for the past 23 years we’ve failed…

to listen.

We avoided bankruptcy while being accused of lunacy. While others have been shrinking and closing stores, we’ve been building the largest and most inspiring spaces in the world. When Wall Street didn’t think our stock was worth buying, we bought 60% of it ourselves. When everyone told us we should be working from home, we were in the Center of Innovation working on rebuilding our new home, and it’s almost ready for primetime.

From the largest product transformation in our history, to the most inspiring and unusual retail experiences in the world. From couches to caviar, beds to bellinis, architecture to airplanes, homes to hotels (Guesthouses). From Pittsburgh to Paris, Los Angeles to London, Boston to Brussels, Miami to Munich, San Francisco to Sydney.

Soon the world will be within our reach.

Never underestimate the power of a few good people who don’t know what can’t be done.

Especially these people.

Onward Team RH.

Carpe Diem,

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, or that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. All discussions of new developments are subject to inherent uncertainty as to timing and the manner in which a new development may ultimately be launched including that certain new concepts may be canceled prior to introduction. Important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, among others, risks related to our dependence on key personnel and any changes in key personnel; successful implementation of our growth strategy; uncertainties in the current and long-term performance of our business including a range of risks related to our operations as well as external economic factors; general economic conditions and the impact on consumer confidence and spending; changes in customer demand for our products; decisions concerning the allocation of capital including the extent to which we repurchase additional shares of our common stock which will affect shares outstanding and EPS; factors affecting our outstanding indebtedness; our ability to anticipate consumer preferences and buying

(1)Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and are included in this shareholder letter because we believe that these measures provide useful information to our senior leadership team and investors in understanding the strength of our liquidity and our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered alongside our other liquidity performance measures that are calculated in accordance with GAAP, such as net cash provided by operating activities and our other GAAP financial results. Our senior leadership team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results for the purpose of analyzing changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Our measures of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies due to different methods of calculation.
(2)We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
(3)We define adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow plus proceeds from sale of asset.

(1)Adjusted capital expenditures is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted capital expenditures as capital expenditures from investing activities and cash outflows of capital related to construction activities to design and build landlord-owned leased assets, net of tenant allowances received during the construction period. Adjusted capital expenditures is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted capital expenditures provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Our measure of adjusted capital expenditures is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies due to different methods of calculation.
(2)Landlord tenant allowances received subsequent to lease commencement for leases classified as finance are reflected as a reduction to principal payments under finance leases within financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and are excluded from our calculation of adjusted capital expenditures. We received landlord tenant allowances under finance leases subsequent to lease commencement of $2.4 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022, respectively. We did not receive any landlord tenant allowances under finance leases subsequent to lease commencement in the three months ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022.

(1)For the three months ended October 28, 2023, we recorded a GAAP net loss and an adjusted net loss. As a result, the weighted-average shares used to calculate GAAP and adjusted diluted net loss per share are the same and there is no adjustment to the share count.
(2)For the nine months ended October 28, 2023 and for the three months ended October 29, 2022, we incurred dilution for the principal of the convertible senior notes assuming the if-converted method. For non-GAAP purposes, our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation excludes the dilutive impact of the principal value of the convertible senior notes since we have the intent and ability to settle the principal value of such notes in cash.
(3)For the nine months ended October 29, 2022, for GAAP purposes, we incurred dilution for the principal of the convertible senior notes assuming the if-converted method. For non-GAAP purposes, our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation excludes (i) the dilutive impact of the principal value of the convertible senior notes since we have the intent and ability to settle the principal value of such notes in cash and (ii) the dilutive impact of the convertible senior notes between $193.65 and $309.84 for the 2023 Notes and between $211.40 and $338.24 for the 2024 Notes, based on the bond hedge contracts that were in place and would have delivered shares to offset dilution in these ranges through the termination date of such contracts in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation includes the dilutive impact of stock prices in excess of $309.84 for the 2023 Notes and $338.24 for the 2024 Notes through the termination dates of the related bond hedge contracts in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, as we would have had an obligation to deliver additional shares in excess of the dilution protection provided by the bond hedges.
(4)Pro forma diluted net income per share for the nine months ended October 28, 2023 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 22,061,551, which excludes dilution of 146,262 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes.

Pro forma diluted net income per share for the three months ended October 29, 2022 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 25,934,498, which excludes dilution of 163,767 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the nine months ended October 29, 2022 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 26,709,075, which excludes dilution of 238,012 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes.

(5)Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” and the related footnotes for additional information.
(6)Adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share as consolidated net income (loss), adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance divided by our pro forma share count. Adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Our measure of adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies due to different methods of calculation.

(3)We define operating margin as operating income divided by net revenues. We define adjusted operating margin as adjusted operating income divided by net revenues. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of our adjusted operating margin financial guidance or other non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of the non-recurring and other items that are excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures. Such adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges excluded from such non-GAAP financial measure in prior periods. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods could have a significant impact on our non-GAAP financial measures.

(1)EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define EBITDA as consolidated net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense—net and income tax expense (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of non-cash compensation, as well as certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions for other companies due to different methods of calculation.

(3)Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” and the related footnotes for additional information.

(5)The adjustments for the three months ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022 include foreign exchange losses from the remeasurement of intercompany loans with subsidiaries in Switzerland and the U.K. of $3.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, as well as unfavorable exchange rate changes affecting foreign currency denominated transactions of $1.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily between the U.S. dollar as compared to Euro and Pound Sterling.

The adjustments for the nine months ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022 include foreign exchange losses from the remeasurement of intercompany loans with subsidiaries in Switzerland and the U.K. of $2.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, as well as unfavorable exchange rate changes affecting foreign currency denominated transactions of $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, primarily between the U.S. dollar as compared to Euro and Pound Sterling. The foreign exchange loss in the nine months ended October 29, 2022 was partially offset by a net gain on derivative instruments of $1.7 million, resulting from the completion of certain transactions related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, including bond hedge and warrant terminations and convertible senior notes repurchases.
