Current report

We are in the process of implementing a number of significant business initiatives that have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations. As a result of the number of current business initiatives we are pursuing, we have experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, significant period-to-period variability in our financial performance and results of operations. While we anticipate that these initiatives will support the growth of our business, costs and timing issues associated with pursuing these initiatives can negatively affect our growth rates in the short term and may amplify fluctuations in our growth rates from quarter to quarter. Delays in the rate of opening new Galleries and pursuit of our international expansion have resulted in delays in the corresponding increase in net revenues that we experience as new Design Galleries are introduced. In addition, we anticipate that our net revenues, adjusted net income and other performance metrics will remain variable as our business model continues to emphasize high growth and numerous, concurrent and evolving business initiatives.

While we experienced increased demand for our products during the pandemic, recently there have been significant shifts in consumer spending away from home furnishings. The demand for home furnishings has decreased since the reopening of the economy after the peak of the pandemic and consumption patterns have shifted into other areas, such as travel and leisure. Our business has also been negatively affected by macroeconomic conditions, including substantially higher interest rates and mortgage rates, volatility in the global financial markets and the slowdown in the luxury home market as well as other negative factors related to the effects of lingering higher inflation and increased costs, including higher construction expenses. Our expectation is that these factors, which have contributed to the slowdown in demand in our business, will moderate in the future and we believe we have positioned the business to take advantage of any improvements in macroeconomic factors.

Product Elevation. We believe we have built the most comprehensive and compelling collection of luxury home furnishings under one brand in the world. Our products are presented across multiple collections, categories and channels that we control, and their desirability and exclusivity has enabled us to achieve strong revenues and margins.

Our strategy is to continue to elevate the design and quality of our product. With the launch of the RH Interiors and RH Contemporary Sourcebooks in 2023, as well as the launch of the RH Outdoor and RH Modern Sourcebooks in 2024, we have begun the introduction of the most prolific collection of new products in our history.

Global Expansion. We believe that our luxury brand positioning and unique aesthetic have strong international appeal, and that pursuit of global expansion will provide RH with a substantial opportunity to build over time a projected $20 to $25 billion global brand in terms of annual revenues. Our view is that the competitive environment globally is more fragmented and primed for disruption than the North American market, and there is no direct competitor of scale that possesses the product, operational platform, and brand of RH. As such, we are actively pursuing the expansion of the RH brand globally. Our plans include launching a number of international locations in the United Kingdom and Europe, which began with the opening of RH England, The Gallery at the Historic Aynho Park, in June 2023; followed by the November 2023 openings of RH Munich, The Gallery on Sendlinger Strasse, and RH Düsseldorf, The Gallery on the Königsallee; as well as RH Brussels, The Gallery on Boulevard de Waterloo, in March 2024. We have secured a number of locations in various markets in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and Australia, including in Madrid, Paris, London, Milan and Sydney.

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted net income (loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted capital expenditures (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. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe 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 senior leadership in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures used by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures, including similarly titled measures, used by other companies.

We have invested significant capital expenditures in developing 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.

During the three months ended May 4, 2024, adjusted capital expenditures were $75 million in aggregate, net of cash received related to landlord tenant allowances of $2.9 million. We anticipate our adjusted capital expenditures to be $250 million to $300 million in fiscal 2024, primarily related to our growth and expansion, including construction of new Design Galleries and infrastructure investments. Nevertheless, we may elect to pursue additional capital expenditures beyond those that are anticipated during any given fiscal period inasmuch as our strategy is to be opportunistic with respect to our investments and we may choose to pursue certain capital transactions based on the availability and timing of unique opportunities. There are a number of macroeconomic factors and uncertainties affecting the overall business climate as well as our business, including increased inflation and higher interest rates, and we may make adjustments to our allocation of capital in fiscal 2024 or beyond in response to these changing or other circumstances. We may also invest in other uses of our liquidity such as share repurchases, acquisitions and growth initiatives, including through joint ventures and real estate investments.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by incremental advertising costs of $33 million related to the mailings of the Spring 2024 RH Modern and Summer 2024 RH Interiors Sourcebooks as compared to limited mailings in the second quarter of 2023.
