To Our People, Partners, and Shareholders,
Our record third quarter results demonstrate the strength of the RH brand, our commitment to earnings growth, the power of our new business model, and our continued success revolutionizing physical retailing.
Adjusted net income for the quarter increased 92% to $46.8 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 66% to $1.73, significantly exceeding our recently raised guidance of $1.15 to $1.33. GAAP net income increased 70% to $22.4 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 45% to $0.81 during the third quarter.
GAAP net revenue growth accelerated from Q2 to Q3 and increased 7% versus Q3 2017 on top of an 8% increase last year. Adjusted net revenues for the quarter increased 8% to $638.5 million on top of an 8% increase last year. Adjusted for last year’s Q3 inventory reduction efforts, adjusted net revenues increased 10%.
Comparable brand revenues increased 4% in the third quarter on top of a 6% increase last year. Adjusted for last year’s inventory reduction efforts, comparable brand revenues increased 6.5%.
Both our comparable brand and net revenues were negatively impacted by approximately 1 point due to slower special order receipts from China due to tariff related shipping congestion. We expect the delayed receipts to have a positive impact on our fourth quarter revenues and have adjusted our guidance accordingly.
Our results reflect strong full price selling, higher outlet margins, and continued cost benefits from our new operating platform.
We generated $16 million of free cash flow in the quarter, and expect free cash flow in excess of $260 million for the year. We have also adjusted our year end net debt to trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA forecast to approximately 1.8x reflecting the repurchase of approximately 1.2 million shares during the third quarter.
As articulated since the beginning of the year, we are managing the business with a bias for earnings versus revenue growth in fiscal 2018. We continue to restrain ourselves from chasing low quality sales at the expense of profitability, and remain focused on optimizing our new business model and building a platform that will enable us to disrupt and redefine the luxury lifestyle market for years to come.
Raising Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2018 Guidance
As a result of our exceptional third quarter results and the continued evolution of our new business model, we are raising fourth quarter and fiscal 2018 revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for a fourth time.
We are increasing fourth quarter revenue guidance to a range of $680 to $690 million, versus previous guidance of $665 to $685 million, and raising adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $2.75 to $2.90 versus previous guidance of $2.33 to $2.54.
We are also increasing fiscal 2018 revenue guidance to a range of $2.519 to $2.529 billion, versus previous guidance of $2.489 to $2.521 billion, and raising adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $8.33 to $8.47 versus previous guidance of $7.35 to $7.75.
As a reminder, our new fiscal 2018 adjusted net income guidance of $219 - $223 million represents a 64% increase at the midpoint versus our original adjusted net income guidance of $125 - $145 million provided on November 15, 2017 during our investor day at the opening of RH West Palm just one year ago.
I would also point out that our return on invested capital is now expected to reach approximately 29% in fiscal 2018.
Our detailed updated guidance for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2018 are provided in a table with our financial results attached to this letter.
Once Again Increasing Long-Term Targets and Providing Preliminary Fiscal 2019 Guidance
We are once again raising our long-term targets as the earnings power and capital efficiency of our new operating model continues to evolve.
As mentioned last quarter, we believed that our target of achieving low to mid-teens adjusted operating margins and return on invested capital (ROIC)1 in excess of 30% by fiscal 2021 would happen sooner rather than later as the earnings power of our new model has proven to be greater than previously anticipated. As a result, last quarter we moved those targets forward by a full year, from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2020.
Since last quarter we have completed a revolutionary redesign of our organization, closed an additional 500,000 square foot distribution center facility, and continued to reduce capital requirements for current and future new Galleries by improving deal economics and lowering construction costs.
As it relates to the redesign of the organization, the leadership team spent the past nine months conceptualizing a new more streamlined and collaborative structure designed to break down the silos and bureaucracy that build up and slow down most companies as they grow. While we expect cost savings of approximately $24 million annually net of reinvestments, the greatest benefit will be increased decision speed, accountability, and focus.
Our continued efforts to reduce inventories and redesign our distribution center and reverse logistics network enabled us to close a 500,000 square foot distribution facility in Baltimore during the third quarter which will result in approximately $4 million of net savings annually.
The combined $28 million of annualized net savings from the redesign of our organization and closing of the distribution facility will begin to be realized starting in the fourth quarter of 2018.
We’ve also made further improvements to our real estate development model, and continue to reduce capital requirements for future Galleries by improving deal economics and lowering construction costs. While all of our new Galleries scheduled to open in fiscal 2019 are under construction, we were able to lower capital requirements for three of the five new Galleries planned for next year, and the vast majority of future projects.
As a result of the above, we are once again moving our long-term targets forward another full year, and now expect to reach low-to-mid teens operating margins and return on invested capital of approximately 35% by fiscal 2019.
Correspondingly, we are providing preliminary guidance for fiscal 2019 and new long-term targets as follows:
Preliminary guidance for fiscal 2019
- Net revenues in the range of $2.72 to $2.82 billion, an increase of 8% to 12%
- Adjusted operating margins in the range of 13.0% to 14.0%
- Adjusted net income in the range of $250 to $290 million
- Adjusted earnings per share in the range of $9.30 to $10.70
- Return on invested capital (ROIC) of approximately 35%
- Adjusted diluted shares outstanding of approximately 27 million and an effective tax rate of 20%
New long-term targets
- Net revenue growth of 8% to 12% annually
- Adjusted operating margins in the mid-to-high teens
- Adjusted earnings growth of 15% to 20% annually
- Return on invested capital (ROIC) in excess of 50%
We continue to see a clear path to $4 to $5 billion in North American revenues, and an international opportunity that could lead to RH becoming a $7 to $10 billion dollar global brand.
Despite RH’s industry-leading performance, it is clear that prioritizing earnings over revenue growth this past year has compressed our earnings multiple and weighed on our stock price. While the market has rewarded top line growth at the expense of earnings, we believe many have overlooked what our team has accomplished in a very short period of time.
We spent years imagining a model that reflects the qualities and characteristics of three businesses we study and greatly admire: LVMH, Apple, and Berkshire Hathaway. I thought it would be helpful to describe how we have integrated relevant aspects of each with our own unique vision for RH to create a model that we believe will redefine what was previously thought possible in our industry.
Like LVMH, we are building a luxury platform, and in a similar fashion, we are beginning to demonstrate that we too can be rewarded with luxury brand margins that are double those of competitors targeting broader markets. Also, like LVMH, we believe that we will continue to benefit from a growing market as a result of the compounding wealth effect. In the past twelve years alone the stock market is up in excess of 80% from its previous 2007 high prior to the great recession, and similarly households with incomes in excess of $200,000 are also up approximately 80%. Additionally we can learn from LVMH’s success building iconic global brands, as 75% of their revenues is outside of the United States. We also believe that building a luxury brand is extremely difficult, requiring decades of effort and a discerning level of taste which is generally absent in businesses of scale. As we have articulated in our investor presentations, there are those with taste and no scale, and those with scale and no taste, and we believe the idea of scaling taste is large and far reaching.
Similar to Apple, we are designing a seamlessly integrated ecosystem of businesses that all amplify and render our brand, and each other more valuable - where the whole becomes more valuable than the parts. As an example, our retail business is amplified and rendered more valuable by our interior design business - both are amplified and rendered more valuable by our physical galleries and real estate development business - and all are amplified and rendered more valuable by our hospitality business. While each of the above businesses are relevant in isolation, as an integrated ecosystem they create a powerful customer proposition and a brand that is difficult to replicate.
Akin to Berkshire Hathaway, we are building a business that is capital efficient, generates significant free cash flow, enjoys a low cost of capital, and is developing a culture relentlessly focused on ROIC and capital allocation. Also like Berkshire, we invest with a long-term view, indifferent to short term market swings or recessions, and believe every market presents opportunities. As Warren Buffet said, “Charlie and I have no magic plan to add earnings except to dream big and be prepared mentally and financially to act fast when opportunities present themselves.” He added, “Every decade or so dark clouds will fill the economic skies and they will briefly rain gold. When downpours of that sort occur it’s imperative that we rush outside with washtubs and not teaspoons.” We all witnessed how Berkshire took advantage of the past recession, and demonstrated that those with capital in difficult markets are the ones who capitalize. That is precisely why we took advantage of the favorable capital markets in 2014 and 2015, executing two zero coupon convertible note transactions raising $650 million for one of those rainy days. That low cost capital enabled us to repurchase roughly half of the Company’s outstanding shares when they were undervalued in 2017, which has proven to be a very good allocation of capital for the benefit of our shareholders. Unlike Berkshire Hathaway, I don’t see us acquiring a large portfolio of businesses, but rather staying focused on the growth opportunities in our current ecosystem. I do expect us to continue accessing the capital markets when favorable and to be disciplined in the allocation of our capital. We will use our excess free cash flow to take advantage of real estate and other investment opportunities, including repurchasing RH shares when value presents itself.
We believe the model we are building will result in RH leapfrogging far past comparable companies, and create the kind of separation in our industry that only brands like Apple, Nike, LVMH, Berkshire, and a few others have enjoyed in theirs.
As I mentioned last quarter, never in my 40 plus years in the retail industry have I seen an organization as clear and focused on optimizing a business as RH is today. I could not be more proud of our team for driving these industry leading results, and remain confident that our path towards building the most profitable and capital efficient brand in our industry will prove to be the right one for our people, partners, and shareholders.
Our View of the Housing Market
While the luxury housing market has sequentially slowed throughout 2018, our revenues have sequentially accelerated, despite cycling inventory reduction efforts and managing the business with a bias for earnings versus revenue growth, clearly demonstrating our ability to gain market share. We believe we can continue to gain share even if market conditions remain soft in higher end housing.
There is also concern of an abundance of new luxury housing inventory scheduled to come on the market in 2019 primarily in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. On this specific issue, our view is that an oversupply of high-end housing will most likely lead to lower home prices in markets with excess inventory which is surely not good for home builders or developers, but not necessarily bad for RH, as unit sales at lower price points may reaccelerate driving incremental demand for furniture and home furnishings.
Despite the data pointing to a slowing housing market, we continue to be confident in our plans to pivot back to growth in 2019, as we return to our product and brand expansion strategy, and accelerate our real estate transformation. We are also encouraged by a range of other positive macro economic factors including low unemployment, strong GDP growth, near record stock market levels and interest rates that are still low by historical standards.
Update on China Tariffs
As it relates to China tariffs, we have been working with our vendor partners on mitigation strategies and do not expect a material impact on our business outside of a modest increase to inventory levels due to the higher landed cost of the product.
The combination of being the only luxury furniture brand with scale, and having control of our product from concept to customer creates multiple competitive advantages as it relates to purchasing and pricing power versus the highly fragmented market we are disrupting.
2018 - A Continued Focus on Execution, Architecture and Cash
As we near the completion of our second year focused on executing a new business model, architecting a new operating platform and maximizing cash flow by increasing revenues and earnings while decreasing inventory and capital spending, our results are demonstrating that we are building a disruptive brand and business that will continue to gain profitable market share for years to come.
While most in our industry are closing or downsizing stores, we remain committed to our quest of revolutionizing physical retailing. We have proven our ability to double the retail sales in our markets with legacy stores while more than doubling our profitability. Our progress in fiscal 2018 includes the opening RH Portland and RH Nashville in the first half of the year, and the opening of two very unique and diverse retail experiences, RH New York and RH Yountville, in September. We continue to be pleased with the performance of our new Galleries and now have six Galleries with our integrated hospitality experience.
RH New York is off to a strong start despite the ongoing street construction in the Meatpacking District. Our rooftop restaurant has already ramped to a $10 million annual run rate, and we now expect it to exceed $15 million per year once we expand seating outdoors next spring. We also expect Gallery sales to further accelerate next year as street construction is completed and new luxury tenants begin to fill in the empty storefronts. We are especially excited about the planned 2019 openings of Hermès and Loro Piana on the two adjacent corners, the recent opening of Louis Vuitton, and the announcement that Pastis, the iconic New York restaurant will reopen directly across the street from our first RH Guesthouse, also scheduled to open in the fall of 2019. We remain confident that RH New York will be the brand's first $100 million Gallery in its second full year of operation, generating approximately $25 million per year of store level cash contribution.
RH President of Hospitality Brendan Sodikoff and his team are demonstrating we can execute a profitable, high quality food and beverage experience across multiple markets while driving traffic into our Galleries that result in incremental revenues in our core business. While we still expect an approximate 50 basis point drag on our operating margins due to the initial start-up costs in fiscal 2019, we believe RH Hospitality is now a proven scalable business, and our plan is to increase the number of new Galleries with integrated restaurants, wine vaults, and barista bars going forward. Additionally, we continue to believe strongly in the prospects for our first RH Guesthouse, opening in the fall of 2019, just steps from our new Gallery.
The work being led by RH President, Chief Operating, Service, & Values Officer DeMonty Price and his team 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, is driving lower costs and inventory levels, and higher earnings and inventory turns. 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.
As we did in fiscal 2017, we continued to hold ourselves back from adding new businesses in fiscal 2018 outside of ongoing investments in RH Hospitality as we remain focused on optimizing the profitability of our new operating platform.
Regarding our balance sheet, we expect future cash flows will be adequate to repay the outstanding principal of our $350 million June 2019 and $300 million June 2020 zero coupon convertible notes at maturity. As a reminder, we purchased a bond hedge that is designed to protect us against dilution on the 2019 notes up to $171.98 per share, and up to $189.00 per share for the 2020 notes.
To ensure financial flexibility and optionality, we completed a zero coupon $335 million convertible notes offering earlier this year that matures in June 2023, and also purchased a corresponding bond hedge designed to protect against dilution up to $309.84 per share.
During the third quarter, our Board of Directors approved a $700 million common share repurchase program. We continue to believe our shares are undervalued and this new repurchase program reflects our confidence in the outlook for our business and continued improvements in our operating model. In addition, we believe that this capital allocation strategy represents an opportunity to create value for our long-term shareholders. During the third quarter, the Company repurchased nearly 1.2 million shares at an average price per share of $125.06.
2019 - A Pivot to High Quality, Sustainable Growth
Our plan is to pivot back to high quality, sustainable growth in fiscal 2019 as we return to our product and brand expansion strategy, which has been on hold as we focused on our move to membership and the architecture of our new operating platform, and accelerate our retail estate transformation.
President, Chief Creative & Merchandising Officer Eri Chaya and her team have several new brand extension plans in our development pipeline, such as RH Beach House and RH Color, launching in the spring and fall of fiscal 2019. Additionally, they have plans to expand our assortments in key categories, and accelerate the introduction of new collections as we pivot back to growth over the next several years.
We also plan to increase our investment in RH Interior Design 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.
As previously mentioned, our plan is to accelerate our real estate transformation, opening 5 to 7 new Galleries per year, up from 3 to 5 per year. In fiscal 2019, we are planning to open 5 new Galleries, including Edina, MN, Charlotte, NC, Corte Madera, CA, San Francisco, CA, and Columbus, OH, as well as our first Guesthouse in New York City. Growth in 2019 will also benefit from the acceleration of RH New York once the city completes street work and we add outdoor seating to our rooftop restaurant in the spring of 2019.
Regarding our ongoing quest to revolutionize physical retailing and the evolving nature of our real estate transformation, RH President, Chief Real Estate & Development Officer Dave Stanchak and his team have designed a new multi-tier market strategy that we believe will optimize both market share and return on invested capital.
First, we have developed a new RH prototype Design Gallery that is an innovative and flexible blueprint to enable us to more quickly place our disruptive product assortment and immersive retail experience into the market. The new model is a standard we will utilize that 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 represent our assortments from RH Interiors, Modern, Baby & Child, Teen and Outdoor and contain interior design offices and presentation rooms where design professionals can work with clients on projects. Due to the reduced square footage and efficient design, this new model 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 3 to 5 new Galleries per year, to a pace of 5 to 7 new Galleries per year. Future prototype examples include Edina, MN, Corte Madera, CA, Columbus, OH, and Charlotte, NC.
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. Examples of target secondary markets include Jacksonville, FL, Fort Worth, TX, Hartford, CT, among others. We expect these Galleries to drive $10 to $15 million of revenues at a net investment of $0 to $5 million, with a payback on our invested capital of 0 to 2 years. Our plan is to test a few of these Galleries over the next several years, and if proven successful, this format could lead to an increase in our long-term Gallery targets.
Third, we will continue to develop and open larger Bespoke Design Galleries in the top metropolitan markets, similar to those we have opened in New York and Chicago. These iconic locations are highly profitable statements for our brand, and we believe 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 indigenous Bespoke Galleries include the Hamptons, Palm Beach, Yountville, and Aspen.
Like our evolving multi-tier Gallery strategy, Dave and his team 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, using this new model, and have an additional five potential 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. In some cases 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 a development with the developer/ landlord. An example of this new model, would be our future Gallery and Guesthouse in Aspen, 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% and 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. 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 14 potential capital light deals in the development pipeline that would be scheduled to open in fiscal 2019 and beyond.
All of the above mentioned deal structures should lead to lower capital requirements, higher unit profitability, and significantly higher returns on invested capital.
Lastly, we are currently exploring opportunities for Bespoke Design Galleries in London, Paris, and other parts of Europe, and believe there is tremendous opportunity for the RH brand to expand globally.
As a result of the above, we feel confident that we can return to our long-term revenue growth targets of 8% to 12% annually, and possibly grow at a faster rate when we begin our international expansion.
Building a Brand with No Peer and a Customer Experience That Cannot Be Replicated Online
We do understand that the strategies we are pursuing - opening the largest specialty retail experiences in our industry while most are shrinking the size of their retail footprint or closing stores; moving from a promotional to a membership model, while others are increasing promotions, positioning their brands around price versus product; continuing to mail inspiring Source Books, while many are eliminating catalogs; and refusing to follow the herd in self-promotion on social media, instead allowing our brand to be defined by the taste, design, and quality of the products and experiences we are creating - are all in direct conflict with conventional wisdom and the plans being pursued by many in our industry.
We believe when you step back and consider: one, we are building a brand with no peer; two, we are creating a customer experience that cannot be replicated online; and three, we have total control of our brand from concept to customer, you realize what we are building is extremely rare in today’s retail landscape, and we would argue, will also prove to be equally valuable.
In closing, we are deeply grateful for all of our people and partners whose passion and persistence bring our vision and values to life each day, as we pursue our quest to become one of the most admired brands in the world.
Carpe Diem,
Gary

1 Return on invested capital (ROIC): We define ROIC as adjusted operating income after-tax for the most recent twelve-month period, divided by the average of beginning and ending debt and equity less cash and equivalents as well as short and long-term investments for the most recent twelve- month period. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our method of determining ROIC may differ from other companies’ methods and therefore may not be comparable.

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 net revenue, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, return on invested capital, free cash flow, adjusted operating margin, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (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.

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 press release 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. |

| [i] | 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 $0.7 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $2.1 million and $2.3 million during the nine months ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. | ||
| [j] | 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, as well as the second lien term loan which was repaid in full in October 2017. | ||
| [k] | The adjustments for the three months ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 represent the tax effect of the adjusted items based on our effective tax rates of 18.9% and 32.1%, respectively. The nine months ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 include an adjustment to calculate income tax expense at adjusted tax rates of 14.1% and 35.4%, respectively, which is calculated based on the weighted-average fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 quarterly effective tax rates. | ||
| [l] | 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 underlying operating performance.

(Unaudited) |
| We adopted ASU 2014-09 (“Topic 606”), which pertains to revenue recognition, on February 4, 2018. |
| The adoption of Topic 606 had the most material impact on the timing of advertising expense recognition 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. Prior to adoption of Topic 606, costs associated with Source Books were capitalized and amortized over their expected period of future benefit. |

| Note: The Company’s adjusted net income does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to net revenues, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income, operating margin and net income in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures in prior periods, such as unusual non-cash and other compensation expense; one-time income tax expense or benefits; legal claim related expenses; recall accruals; reorganization costs including severance costs and related taxes; non-cash amortization of debt discount; and charges and costs in connection with the acquisition of Waterworks, among others. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Company’s adjusted net revenues, adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted net income. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs. |

| Note: The table above is intended to demonstrate the impact of increasing stock prices on our adjusted diluted shares outstanding due to 1) additional in-the-money options and 2) the higher cost of acquired shares under the treasury stock method. |
| For GAAP purposes, we will incur dilution above the lower strike prices of our 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes of $116.09, $118.13 and $193.65, respectively. However, no additional shares will be included in our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation between $116.09 and $171.98 for our 2019 Notes, between $118.13 and $189.00 for our 2020 Notes, and between $193.65 and $309.84 for our 2023 Notes, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution in these ranges. At stock prices in excess of $171.98, $189.00 and $309.84, we will incur dilution related to the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and 2023 Notes, respectively, and our obligation to deliver additional shares in excess of the dilution protection provided by the bond hedges. |
| The calculation also includes assumptions around the timing and number of options exercises. Actual diluted shares outstanding may differ if actual exercises differ from estimates. The stock option awards outstanding for RH’s Chairman and CEO are included in all of the adjusted diluted shares outstanding scenarios above based on the exercise prices of $46.50, $75.43 and $50.00 for the November 2012, July 2013 and May 2017 grants, respectively. |
| [a] | Includes 0.134 million and 0.562 million incremental shares at $180.00 and $200.00 average share price, respectively, due to dilution from the convertible notes. |
