NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—THE COMPANY
Nature of Business
RH, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), is a leading retailer and luxury lifestyle brand operating primarily in the home furnishings market. Our curated and fully integrated assortments are presented consistently across our sales channels, including our retail locations, websites and Sourcebooks. We offer merchandise assortments across a number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, and baby, child and teen furnishings.
As of August 3, 2024, we operated a total of 72 RH Galleries and 39 RH Outlet stores, one RH Guesthouse and 14 Waterworks Showrooms throughout the United States and Canada as well as in the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium and Spain. We also have sourcing operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from our records and, in our senior leadership team’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our financial position as of August 3, 2024, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. Our current fiscal year, which consists of 52 weeks, ends on February 1, 2025 (“fiscal 2024”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the financial information of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where we represent the primary beneficiary and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance. Accordingly, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated through the consolidation process.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted for purposes of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires our senior leadership team to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. The accounting estimates and other matters we have assessed include, but were not limited to, sales return reserve, inventory reserve, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, and intangible and other long-lived assets. Our current assessment of these estimates is included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended August 3, 2024. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of these estimates, as well as other factors, could change and the results of any such change could materially and adversely impact our condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three and six months ended August 3, 2024, presented herein, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 2—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This new guidance is designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This new guidance is designed to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments of this update are related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests
In fiscal 2022, we formed eight privately-held limited liability companies (each, a “Member LLC” and collectively, the “Member LLCs” or the “consolidated variable interest entities”) for real estate development activities related to our Gallery transformation and global expansion strategies.
The carrying amounts and classification of the Member LLCs’ assets and liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

On August 3, 2022, a Member LLC as the borrower executed a Secured Promissory Note (the “Secured Promissory Note”) with a third-party in an aggregate principal amount equal to $2.0 million with a maturity date of August 1, 2032. The Secured Promissory Note bears interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 6.00%.
On September 9, 2022, a Member LLC as the borrower executed a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with a third-party bank in an aggregate principal amount equal to $16 million with a maturity date of September 9, 2032. The Promissory Note bears interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 5.37% until September 15, 2027, on which date the interest rate will reset based on the five-year treasury rate plus 2.00%, subject to a total interest rate floor of 3.00%.
Equity Method Investments
Equity method investments primarily represent our membership interests in three privately-held limited liability companies in Aspen, Colorado (each, an “Aspen LLC” and collectively, the “Aspen LLCs”) that were formed for the purpose of acquiring, developing, operating and selling certain real estate projects in Aspen, Colorado. As of August 3, 2024, we have made capital contributions of approximately $146 million to the Aspen LLCs. Additionally, Waterworks has membership interests in two European entities that are equity method investments.
2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 13
Our maximum exposure to loss is the carrying value of each of the equity method investments as of August 3, 2024. During the three and six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, we did not receive any distributions or have any undistributed earnings of equity method investments.

Reorganization
We implemented a restructuring on March 24, 2023 that included workforce and expense reductions in order to improve and simplify our organizational structure, streamline certain aspects of our business operations and better position us for further growth. The workforce reduction associated with the initiative included the elimination of numerous leadership and other positions throughout the organization, which affected approximately 440 roles. The reorganization was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. During the six months ended July 29, 2023, we incurred total charges relating to the reorganization of $7.6 million consisting primarily of severance costs and related taxes. As of February 3, 2024, we had an immaterial amount accrued within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the reorganization, all of which was paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Contract Liabilities
We defer revenue associated with merchandise delivered via the home-delivery channel. We expect that substantially all of the deferred revenue and customer deposits as of August 3, 2024 will be recognized within the next six months as the performance obligations are satisfied. In addition, we defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards. During the three months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, we recognized $4.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of revenue related to previous deferrals related to our gift cards. During the six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, we recognized $10 million and $11 million, respectively, of revenue related to previous deferrals related to our gift cards. We expect that approximately 75 percent of the remaining gift card liabilities will be recognized when the gift cards are redeemed by customers.
Supplier Finance Program
We facilitate a voluntary supply chain financing program (the “Financing Program”) with a third-party financial institution (the “Bank”) to provide participating suppliers with the opportunity to receive early payment on invoices, net of a discount charged to the supplier by the Bank. As of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the Financing Program included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $49 million and $28 million, respectively.

NOTE 9—CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
In September 2019, we issued in a private offering $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”, the “Convertible Senior Notes” or the “Notes”). The outstanding balances under the 2024 Notes were as follows:

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024
Prior to June 15, 2024, the 2024 Notes are convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2019, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The first condition was satisfied from the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2020 through the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2022. However, this condition was not met for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2022 through the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2023, but was met for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2023. This condition was not met for the calendar quarters ended December 31, 2023 or March 31, 2024. On and after June 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2024 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. There have been no conversions as of August 3, 2024.
2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 19
Upon conversion, the 2024 Notes will be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period, it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.
The remaining liability for the 2024 Notes is classified as a current obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of August 3, 2024 since the settlement date of the outstanding 2024 Notes is in September 2024. The settlement of the outstanding 2024 Notes will be made, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock upon settlement.

Asset Based Credit Facility
On August 3, 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc. (“RHI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RH, along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended prior to June 28, 2017, the “Original Credit Agreement”) by and among RHI, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., certain other subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “ABL Agent”).
On June 28, 2017, RHI entered into the Eleventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended prior to July 29, 2021, the “11th A&R Credit Agreement”) by and among RHI, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., certain other subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and the ABL Agent, which amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement.
20 | 2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q
On July 29, 2021, RHI entered into the Twelfth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Credit Agreement”) by and among RHI, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., certain other subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and the ABL Agent, which amended and restated the 11th A&R Credit Agreement. The ABL Credit Agreement has a revolving line of credit with initial availability of up to $600 million, of which $10 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $300 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600 million to up to $900 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. The ABL Credit Agreement provides that the $300 million accordion, or a portion thereof, may be added as a first-in, last-out term loan facility if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments for such facility. The ABL Credit Agreement further provides that the borrowers may request a European sub-credit facility under the revolving line of credit or under the accordion feature for borrowing by certain European subsidiaries of RH if certain conditions set out in the ABL Credit Agreement are met. The maturity date of the ABL Credit Agreement is July 29, 2026.
The availability of credit at any given time under the ABL Credit Agreement will be constrained by the terms and conditions of the ABL Credit Agreement, including the amount of collateral available, a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors, including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, and other restrictions contained in the ABL Credit Agreement. All obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement are secured by substantial assets of the loan parties, including inventory, receivables and certain types of intellectual property. As a result, actual borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit could be less than the stated amount of the revolving line of credit (as reduced by the actual borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the revolving line of credit).
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit (other than swing line loans, which are subject to interest at the base rate) bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at either the base rate or LIBOR subject to a 0.00% LIBOR floor (or, in the case of the Canadian borrowings, the “BA Rate” or the “Canadian Prime Rate”, as such terms are defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, for the Canadian borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, or the “U.S. Index Rate”, as such term is defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, or LIBOR for Canadian borrowings denominated in United States dollars) plus an applicable interest rate margin, in each case. The ABL Credit Agreement was amended in December 2022 to transition from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).
The ABL Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including required financial reporting, limitations on granting certain liens, limitations on making certain loans or investments, limitations on incurring additional debt, restricted payment limitations limiting the payment of dividends and certain other transactions and distributions, limitations on transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those frequently found in credit agreements of a similar type and size.
The ABL Credit Agreement does not contain any significant financial ratio covenants or coverage ratio covenants other than a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant based on the ratio of (i) consolidated EBITDA to the amount of (ii) debt service costs plus certain other amounts, including dividends and distributions and prepayments of debt as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement (the “FCCR Covenant”). The FCCR Covenant only applies in certain limited circumstances, including when the unused availability under the ABL Credit Agreement drops below the greater of (A) $40 million and (B) an amount based on 10% of the total borrowing availability at the time. The FCCR Covenant ratio is set at 1.0 and measured on a trailing twelve-month basis. As of August 3, 2024, RHI was in compliance with the FCCR Covenant.
The ABL Credit Agreement requires a daily sweep of all cash receipts and collections to prepay the loans under the agreement while (i) an event of default exists or (ii) when the unused availability under the ABL Credit Agreement drops below the greater of (A) $40 million and (B) an amount based on 10% of the total borrowing availability at the time.
The ABL Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and other customary terms and conditions for an asset based credit facility.
As of August 3, 2024, RHI had $25 million in outstanding borrowings and $499 million of availability under the revolving line of credit, net of $45 million in outstanding letters of credit. As a result of the FCCR Covenant that limits the last 10% of borrowing availability, actual incremental borrowing available to RHI and the other affiliated parties under the revolving line of credit would be $439 million as of August 3, 2024.
2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 21
Term Loan Credit Agreement
On October 20, 2021, RHI entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among RHI as the borrower, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Term Agent”) with respect to an initial term loan (the “Term Loan B”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $2,000 million with a maturity date of October 20, 2028.
Through July 31, 2023, the Term Loan B bore interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR subject to a 0.50% LIBOR floor plus an interest rate margin of 2.50% (with a stepdown of the interest rate margin if RHI achieves a specified public corporate family rating). LIBOR is a floating interest rate that reset periodically during the life of the Term Loan B. At the date of borrowing, the interest rate was set at the LIBOR floor of 0.50% plus 2.50% and the Term Loan B was issued at a discount of 0.50% to face value. Effective August 1, 2023, the Term Loan B bears interest at an annual rate based on SOFR subject to a 0.50% SOFR floor plus an interest rate margin of 2.50% plus a credit spread adjustment.
On May 13, 2022, RHI entered into a 2022 Incremental Amendment (the “2022 Incremental Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, amending the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Term Loan Credit Agreement as amended by the 2022 Incremental Amendment, the “Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Incremental Amendment, RHI incurred incremental term loans (the “Term Loan B-2”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $500 million with a maturity date of October 20, 2028. The Term Loan B-2 constitutes a separate class from the Term Loan B under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan B-2 bears interest at an annual rate based on SOFR subject to a 0.50% SOFR floor plus an interest rate margin of 3.25% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. Other than the terms relating to the Term Loan B-2, the terms of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement remain substantially the same as the terms of the existing Term Loan Credit Agreement, including representations and warranties, covenants and events of default.
All obligations under the Term Loan B are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of RHI. Further, RHI and such subsidiaries have granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets (subject to customary and other exceptions) to secure the Term Loan B. Substantially all of the collateral securing the Term Loan B also secures the loans and other credit extensions under the ABL Credit Agreement. On October 20, 2021, in connection with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, RHI and certain other subsidiaries of RH party to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement, as the case may be, entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with the Term Agent and the ABL Agent. The Intercreditor Agreement establishes various customary inter-lender terms, including, without limitation, with respect to priority of liens, permitted actions by each party, application of proceeds, exercise of remedies in case of default, releases of liens and certain limitations on the amendment of the ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement without the consent of the other parties.
The borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, subject to a prepayment premium of 1.0% in connection with any repricing transaction within the six months following the closing date of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including required financial reporting, limitations on granting certain liens, limitations on making certain loans or investments, limitations on incurring additional debt, restricted payment limitations limiting the payment of dividends and certain other transactions and distributions, limitations on transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those frequently found in credit agreements of a similar type and size, but provides for unlimited exceptions in the case of incurring indebtedness, granting of liens and making investments, dividend payments, and payments of material junior indebtedness, subject to satisfying specified leverage ratio tests.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement does not contain a financial maintenance covenant.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and other customary terms and conditions for a term loan credit agreement.

NOTE 11—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Measurements—Recurring
Amounts reported as cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of activity within these accounts. The estimated fair value of the asset based credit facility approximates cost as the interest rate associated with the facility is variable and resets frequently (Level 2).
The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 2024 Notes, the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the real estate loans were as follows:
FAIR
VALUE
VALUE(1)
41,485
39,879
Term loan B

469,144
490,545
Real estate loans
17,757
17,950
17,425
17,966
The fair value of the 2024 Notes was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the trading price of our convertible notes, when available, our stock price and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to ours (Level 2). As of August 3, 2024, the fair values of the Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 were derived from observable bid prices (Level 1). As of February 3, 2024, the fair values of the Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 were derived from discounted cash flows using risk-adjusted rates (Level 2). The fair values of the real estate loans were derived from discounted cash flows using risk-adjusted rates (Level 2).
NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES
Our income tax expense and effective tax rates were as follows:
Effective tax rate
11.4
26.3
6.0
27.0
The decrease in our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended July 29, 2023 is primarily attributable to higher net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation year over year.
As of August 3, 2024, we had $3.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $2.6 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits would offset other deferred tax assets, if recognized. As of August 3, 2024, we had $0.2 million of exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months.
2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 23
In October 2017, we filed an amended federal tax return claiming a $5.4 million refund, however, no income tax benefit was recorded at the time due to the technical nature and amount of the refund claim. As of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we are no longer appealing this refund claim and have reversed the receivable and related reserve.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) proposed model rules to ensure a minimal level of taxation (commonly referred to as Pillar II) and the European Union member states have agreed to implement Pillar II’s proposed global corporate minimum tax rate of 15%. Many countries are actively considering, have proposed or have enacted, changes to their tax laws based upon the Pillar II proposals, which could increase our tax obligations in countries where we do business or cause us to change the way we operate our business. To mitigate the administrative burden for multinational enterprises in complying with the OECD Global Anti-Base Erosion rules during the initial years of implementation, the OECD developed the temporary “Transitional Country-by-Country Safe Harbor.” We considered the applicable tax law changes from Pillar II implementation in the relevant countries in which we operate, and there is no material impact to our tax provision for the three and six months ended August 3, 2024. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes in future reporting periods.

NOTE 14—SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND SHARE RETIREMENT
Share Repurchase Program
In 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. On June 2, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2,000 million for the purchase of shares of our outstanding common stock, increasing the total authorized size of the share repurchase program to $2,450 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program during the three or six months ended August 3, 2024. As of August 3, 2024, $201 million remains available for future share repurchases under this program.
24 | 2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q
In the three and six months ended July 29, 2023, we repurchased 3,698,887 shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $325.65 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $1,205 million. In addition, we recorded $12 million of excise taxes payable related to the share repurchase activity during the three and six months ended July 29, 2023, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We had $12 million of excise taxes payable as of both August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024.
Share Retirement
In the three and six months ended July 29, 2023, we retired 3,698,887 shares of common stock related to shares we repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program. As a result of this retirement, we reclassified a total of $8.6 million and $1,208 million from treasury stock to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings (accumulated deficit), respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of and for the three and six months ended July 29, 2023.
NOTE 15—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Restoration Hardware 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) was adopted on November 1, 2012. The Stock Incentive Plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, cash-based awards and any combination thereof to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants. The Restoration Hardware 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) was adopted on November 1, 2012. On November 1, 2022, both the Stock Incentive Plan and Option Plan expired.
The RH 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Stock Incentive Plan”, together with the Stock Incentive Plan and Option Plan, “the Plans”) was approved by stockholders on April 4, 2023. The 2023 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and any combination thereof to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants.
As of August 3, 2024, there were a total of 2,206,463 shares issuable under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. Awards under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan reduce the number of shares available for future issuance. Cancellations and forfeitures of awards previously granted under the Plans increase the number of shares available for future issuance. Shares issued as a result of award exercises under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan will be funded with the issuance of new shares.

NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
We had no material off balance sheet commitments as of August 3, 2024.
Contingencies
We are subject to contingencies, including in connection with lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. These disputes are increasing in number as we expand our business and provide new product and service offerings, such as restaurants and hospitality, and as we enter new markets and legal jurisdictions and face increased complexity related to compliance and regulatory requirements. In addition, we are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information requests, and investigations from time to time at the state and federal levels.
Certain legal proceedings that we currently face involve various class-action allegations, including cases related to our employment practices, the application of state wage-and-hour laws, product liability and other causes of action. We have faced similar litigation in the past. Due to the inherent difficulty of predicting the course of legal actions related to complex legal matters, including class-action allegations, such as the eventual scope, duration or outcome, we may be unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome arising from such matters. Our assessment of these legal proceedings, as well as other lawsuits, could change based upon the discovery of facts that are not presently known or developments during the course of the litigation. We have settled certain class action and other cases, but continue to defend a variety of legal actions and our estimates of our exposure in such cases may evolve over time. Accordingly, the ultimate costs to resolve litigation, including class action cases, may be substantially higher or lower than our estimates.
26 | 2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q
With respect to such contingencies, we review the need for any loss contingency reserves and establish reserves when, in the opinion of our senior leadership team, it is probable that a matter would result in liability, and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Loss contingencies determined to be probable and estimable are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 6—Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities). These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to each matter. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of certain matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, it may not be possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to reasonably estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no reserve is established until that time. When and to the extent that we do establish a reserve, there can be no assurance that any such recorded liability for estimated losses will be for the appropriate amount, and actual losses could be higher or lower than what we accrue from time to time. Although we believe that the ultimate resolution of our current legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements, the outcome of legal matters is subject to inherent uncertainty.
Although we are self-insured or maintain deductibles in the United States for workers’ compensation, general liability and product liability up to predetermined amounts, above which third-party insurance applies, depending on the facts and circumstances of the underlying claims, coverage under these or other of our insurance policies may not be available. We may elect not to renew certain insurance coverage or renewal of coverage may not be available or may be prohibitively expensive. Even if we believe coverage does apply under our insurance programs, our insurance carriers may dispute coverage based on the underlying facts and circumstances.
The outcome of any contingencies, including lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings, could result in unexpected expenses and liability that could adversely affect our operations. In addition, any legal proceedings in which we are involved or claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of our senior leadership team’s time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, and require changes to our business operations, policies and practices. Legal costs related to such matters are expensed as incurred.
NOTE 17—SEGMENT REPORTING
We define reportable and operating segments on the same basis that we use to evaluate our performance internally by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which we have determined is our Chief Executive Officer. We have three operating segments: RH Segment, Waterworks and Real Estate. The RH Segment and Waterworks operating segments (the “retail operating segments”) include all sales channels accessed by our customers, including sales through retail locations and outlets, including hospitality, websites, Sourcebooks, and the Trade and Contract channels. The Real Estate segment represents operations associated with certain of our equity method investments and consolidated variable interest entities that are non-wholly-owned subsidiaries and have operations that are not directly related to RH’s operations.
The retail operating segments are strategic business units that offer products for the home furnishings customer. While RH Segment and Waterworks have a shared senior leadership team and customer base, we have determined that their results cannot be aggregated as they do not share similar economic characteristics, as well as due to other quantitative factors.
Segment Information
We use operating income to evaluate segment profitability for the retail operating segments and to allocate resources. Operating income is defined as net income before interest expense—net, other (income) expense—net, income tax expense and our share of equity method investments loss—net. Segment operating income excludes (i) legal settlements, (ii) non-cash compensation amortization related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020 and (iii) severance costs associated with a reorganization. These items are excluded from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of segment operating results. Accordingly, these items are not presented by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that the CODM and our senior leadership team review.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Refer to “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Market Data” below and Item 1A—Risk Factors in our 2023 Form 10-K for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements. MD&A should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those listed in our 2023 Form 10-K.
The discussion of our financial condition and changes in our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is presented in this section for the three and six months ended August 3, 2024, and a comparison to the three and six months ended July 29, 2023. The discussion related to cash flows for the six months ended July 29, 2023, has been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, but is included in Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 29, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 7, 2023.
MD&A is a supplement to our condensed consolidated financial statements within Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is provided to enhance an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. Our MD&A is organized as follows:
Overview. This section provides a general description of our business, including our key value-driving strategies and an overview of certain known trends and uncertainties.
Basis of Presentation and Results of Operations. This section provides our condensed consolidated statements of income and other financial and operating data, including a comparison of our results of operations in the current period as compared to the prior year’s comparative period, as well as non-GAAP measures we use for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. This section provides an overview of our sources and uses of cash and our financing arrangements, including our credit facilities and debt arrangements, in addition to the cash requirements for our business, such as our capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. This section discusses the accounting policies and estimates that involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity and are most significant to reporting our consolidated results of operations and financial position, including the significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND MARKET DATA
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “short-term,” “non-recurring,” “one-time,” “unusual,” “should,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.
30 | 2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q
Forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Matters that we identify as “short term,” “non-recurring,” “unusual,” “one-time,” or other words and terms of similar meaning may, in fact, may not be short term and may recur in one or more future financial reporting periods. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the section entitled Risk Factors in our 2023 Form 10-K, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 4, 2024 and in our 2023 Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, as well as other cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
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. The forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview
We are a leading retailer and luxury lifestyle brand operating primarily in the home furnishings market. Our curated and fully integrated assortments are presented consistently across our sales channels, including our retail locations, websites and Sourcebooks. We offer merchandise assortments across a number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, and baby, child and teen furnishings. Our retail business is fully integrated across our multiple channels of distribution. We position our Galleries as showrooms for our brand, while our websites and Sourcebooks act as virtual and print extensions of our physical spaces, respectively. We operate our retail locations throughout the United States and Canada as well as in the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium and Spain and have an integrated RH Hospitality experience in 18 of our Design Gallery locations, which includes restaurants and wine bars.
We have recently undertaken efforts to introduce the most prolific collection of new products in our history, with a substantial number of new furniture and upholstery collections across RH Interiors, RH Contemporary, RH Modern, RH Outdoor, RH Baby & Child and RH TEEN. These new collections reflect a level of design and quality inaccessible in our current market, and a value proposition that we believe will be disruptive across multiple markets.
As of August 3, 2024, we operated the following number of locations:

2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 31
Business Conditions
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 when the housing market rebounds, and we believe we have positioned the business to take advantage of any improvements in macroeconomic factors.
Our decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business, including further developments with respect to macroeconomic factors.
Strategic Initiatives
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.
For more information, refer to the sections entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Risk Factors in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Key Value-Driving Strategies
In order to achieve our long-term strategies of Product Elevation, Platform Expansion and Cash Generation as well as drive growth across our business, we are focused on the following key strategies and business initiatives:
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 customers know our brand concepts as RH Interiors, RH Contemporary, RH Modern, RH Outdoor, RH Beach House, RH Ski House, RH Baby & Child, RH TEEN and Waterworks. 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, RH Modern and RH Interiors Sourcebooks in 2024, we have begun the introduction of the most prolific collection of new products in our history. In addition, over the next few years, we plan to introduce RH Couture, RH Bespoke and RH Color.
Gallery Transformation. Our product is elevated and rendered more valuable by our architecturally inspiring Galleries. We believe our strategy to open new Design Galleries in every major market in North America will unlock the value of our vast assortment, generating an expected annual revenue opportunity for our business of $5 to $6 billion. We believe we can significantly increase our sales by transforming our real estate platform from our existing legacy retail footprint to a portfolio of Design Galleries sized to the potential of each market and the size of our assortment. In addition, we plan to incorporate hospitality into many of the new Design Galleries that we open in the future, which further elevates and renders our product and brand more valuable. We believe hospitality has created a unique new retail experience that cannot be replicated online, and that the addition of hospitality drives incremental sales of home furnishings in these Galleries.
32 | 2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q
Brand Elevation. 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. We believe our seamlessly integrated ecosystem of immersive experiences inspires customers to dream, design, dine, travel and live in a world thoughtfully curated by RH, creating an impression and connection unlike any other brand in the world. 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. We entered this industry with the opening of the RH Guesthouse New York in September 2022, and are in the process of constructing our second RH Guesthouse in Aspen. In June 2023, we opened RH England, The Gallery at the Historic Aynho Park, a 400-year-old landmark estate representing the most inspiring and immersive physical expression of the brand to date. RH England marked the beginning of our global expansion beyond North America. Additionally, we are creating bespoke experiences like RH Yountville, an integration of Food, Wine, Art & Design in the Napa Valley; RH1 & 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.
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 in June 2023, followed by RH Munich and RH Düsseldorf in November 2023, RH Brussels in March 2024, and RH Madrid in June 2024. We have also secured a number of other locations in various markets in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and Australia, including in Paris, London, Milan and Sydney.
Digital Reimagination. Our strategy is to digitally reimagine the RH brand and business model both internally and externally. Internally, our multiyear effort began with the reimagination of our Center of Innovation & Product Leadership to incorporate digitally integrated visuals and decision data designed to amplify the creative process from product ideation to product presentation. Externally, our strategy comes to life digitally through The World of RH, an online portal where customers can explore and be inspired by the depth and dimension of our brand. Launched in the spring of 2022, The World of RH includes rich, immersive content with simplified navigation and search functionality, all designed to enhance the shopping experience and render our product and brand more valuable. We expect to continue to elevate the customer experience on The World of RH with further enhancements to content, navigation and search functionality. We believe an opportunity exists to create similar strategic separation online as we have with our Galleries offline, reconceptualizing what a website can and should be.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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, 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.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures tables outlined below. 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.

No such amounts were received from landlords during the six months ended August 3, 2024.

Consolidated net revenues increased $29 million, or 3.6%, to $830 million in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $800 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023.
RH Segment net revenues
RH Segment net revenues increased $27 million, or 3.6%, to $781 million in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $754 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that impacted RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.
RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended August 3, 2024 increased primarily due to higher revenue in our core business, driven by the introduction of new collections and the mailings of our RH Interiors and RH Modern Sourcebooks, and higher Contract revenue driven by an increase in completed projects. We also recognized higher hospitality revenue, due to new Gallery openings, including RH England, RH Indianapolis, RH Cleveland and RH Palo Alto, and higher outlet revenue.
Waterworks net revenues
Waterworks net revenues increased $1.8 million, or 3.8%, to $49 million in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $47 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023.
Consolidated gross profit decreased $5.3 million, or 1.4%, to $375 million in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $380 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 45.2% of net revenues in the three months ended August 3, 2024 from 47.5% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2023.
RH Segment gross profit
RH Segment gross profit decreased $5.8 million, or 1.6%, to $349 million in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $354 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin decreased 240 basis points to 44.6% of net revenues in the three months ended August 3, 2024 from 47.0% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2023. The decrease in RH Segment gross margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in product margins in the core business driven by price adjustments, as well as a higher mix of, and discounts on, discontinued products. RH Segment experienced deleverage in occupancy costs year over year due to higher expenses related to our Galleries and supply chain in support of the continued global expansion in Europe.

Waterworks gross profit
Waterworks gross profit was $26 million in both the three months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 53.6% of net revenues in the three months ended August 3, 2024 from 54.7% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2023.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $50 million, or 21.8%, to $279 million in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $229 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $48 million, or 22.7%, to $259 million in the three months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $211 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 3, 2024 include amortization of non-cash compensation of $0.9 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 29, 2023 include legal settlements of $8.0 million and non-cash compensation of $2.0 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.

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. Additionally, compensation and occupancy costs were higher year over year.

Consolidated net revenues increased $17 million, or 1.1%, to $1,557 million in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $1,540 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023.
RH Segment net revenues increased $14 million, or 1.0%, to $1,458 million in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $1,444 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that impacted RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.
RH Segment net revenues for the six months ended August 3, 2024 increased primarily due to increased outlet revenue, increased hospitality revenue as a result of new Gallery openings, including RH England, RH Indianapolis, RH Cleveland and RH Palo Alto, as well as a slight increase in the combined core and Contract businesses due to the introduction of new collections, the mailings of our RH Interiors and RH Modern Sourcebooks and an increase in completed projects.
Waterworks net revenues increased $3.0 million, or 3.2%, to $99 million in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $96 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023.
Consolidated gross profit decreased $37 million, or 5.1%, to $691 million in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $728 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin decreased 290 basis points to 44.4% of net revenues in the six months ended August 3, 2024 from 47.3% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2023.
RH Segment gross profit decreased $38 million, or 5.6%, to $638 million in the six months ended August 3, 2024 from $676 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin decreased 300 basis points to 43.8% of net revenues in the six months ended August 3, 2024 from 46.8% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2023. The decrease in RH Segment gross margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in product margins in the core business driven by price adjustments, as well as a higher mix of, and discounts on, discontinued products. RH Segment experienced deleverage in occupancy costs year over year due to higher expense related to our Galleries and supply chain in support of the continued global expansion in Europe.
Waterworks gross profit was $52 million in both the six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin decreased 90 basis points to 53.1% of net revenues in the six months ended August 3, 2024 from 54.0% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2023.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $63 million, or 13.2%, to $540 million in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $477 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $63 million, or 14.3%, to $503 million in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to $440 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 29, 2023 include legal settlements of $8.0 million, severance expense and other payroll related costs associated with a reorganization of $7.6 million and non-cash compensation of $5.6 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.
42 | 2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses would have been 34.7% and 29.0% of net revenues for the six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively, excluding the costs incurred in connection with the adjustments mentioned above. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by incremental advertising costs of $48 million related to the increased circulation in connection with the mailing of the RH Outdoor Sourcebook in fiscal 2024, and mailings of the Spring 2024 RH Modern and Summer 2024 RH Interiors Sourcebooks with no comparative mailings in fiscal 2023. Additionally, compensation and occupancy costs were higher year over year.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses was $37 million in both the six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses were 37.4% and 38.7% of net revenues for the six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended August 3, 2024 include $3.2 million related to a favorable legal settlement. Excluding the adjustment for the legal settlement, Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses would have been 40.7% and 38.7% of net revenues for the six months ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively.
Interest expense—net increased $32 million, or 37.7%, in the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the six months ended July 29, 2023, which consisted of the following in each period:

2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 43
The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 3, 2024 compared to the six months ended July 29, 2023 is primarily attributable to significantly higher net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation year over year.

General
The primary cash needs of our business have historically been for merchandise inventories, payroll, rent for our retail and outlet locations, capital expenditures associated with opening new locations, updating existing locations, as well as the development of our infrastructure and information technology, and Sourcebooks. We seek out and evaluate opportunities for effectively managing and deploying capital in ways that improve working capital and support and enhance our business initiatives and strategies. During fiscal 2023, we invested $1,253 million of cash, inclusive of excise taxes paid, in the purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program. We continuously evaluate our capital allocation strategy and may engage in future investments in connection with existing or new share repurchase programs (refer to “Share Repurchase Program” below), which may include investments in derivatives or other equity linked instruments. We have in the past been, and continue to be, opportunistic in responding to favorable market conditions regarding both sources and uses of capital. Capital raised from debt financing arrangements has enabled us to pursue various investments, including our investments in joint ventures. We expect to continue to take an opportunistic approach regarding both sources and uses of capital in connection with our business.
We believe our capital structure provides us with substantial optionality regarding capital allocation. Our near-term decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business, including further developments with respect to macroeconomic factors affecting business conditions, such as trends in luxury housing, increases in interest rates, equity market performance and inflation. We believe our existing cash balances and operating cash flows, in conjunction with available financing arrangements, will be sufficient to repay our debt obligations as they become due, meet working capital requirements and fulfill other capital needs for more than the next 12 months.
While we do not anticipate that we will require additional debt to fund our operations, our goal is to continue to be in a position to take advantage of the many opportunities that we identify in connection with our business and operations. We have pursued in the past, and may pursue in the future, additional strategies to generate capital to pursue opportunities and investments, including through the strategic sale of existing assets, utilization of our credit facilities, entry into various credit agreements and other new debt financing arrangements that present attractive terms. We expect to continue to use additional sources of debt financing in future periods as a source of additional capital to fund our various investments.
To the extent we choose to secure additional sources of liquidity through incremental debt financing, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise such financing on favorable terms, if at all, or that future financing requirements will not require us to raise money through an equity financing or by other means that could be dilutive to holders of our capital stock. Any adverse developments in the U.S. or global credit markets could affect our ability to manage our debt obligations and our ability to access future debt. In addition, agreements governing existing or new debt facilities may restrict our ability to operate our business in the manner we currently expect or to make required payments with respect to existing commitments, including the repayment of the principal amount of our convertible senior notes in cash, whether upon stated maturity, early conversion or otherwise of such convertible senior notes. To the extent we need to seek waivers from any provider of debt financing, or we fail to observe the covenants or other requirements of existing or new debt facilities, any such event could have an impact on our other commitments and obligations, including triggering cross defaults or other consequences with respect to other indebtedness. Our current level of indebtedness, and any additional indebtedness that we may incur, exposes us to certain risks with regards to interest rate increases and fluctuations. Our ability to make interest payments or to refinance any of our indebtedness to manage such interest rates may be limited or negatively affected by credit market conditions, macroeconomic trends and other risks.
Credit Facilities and Debt Arrangements
We amended and restated the ABL Credit Agreement in July 2021, which provides an asset based credit facility with an initial availability of up to $600 million, of which $10 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $300 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600 million to up to $900 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. The accordion feature may be added as a first-in, last-out term loan facility. The ABL Credit Agreement further provides the borrowers may request a European sub-credit facility under the revolving line of credit or under the accordion feature for borrowing by certain European subsidiaries of RH if certain conditions set out in the ABL Credit Agreement are met. The maturity date of the asset based credit facility is July 29, 2026. As of August 3, 2024, we had $25 million outstanding under the asset based credit facility, which increased to $110 million as of September 6, 2024. The additional borrowings support our continued investments, including into inventory of new collections and existing collections, as well as capital expenditures for our Design Gallery expansion.
2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 45
We entered into a $2,000 million term debt financing in October 2021 (the “Term Loan B”) by means of a Term Loan Credit Agreement through RHI as the borrower, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the various lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Term Loan B has a maturity date of October 20, 2028. As of August 3, 2024, we had $1,945 million outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $5.0 million with respect to Term Loan B.
In May 2022, we entered into an incremental term debt financing (the “Term Loan B-2”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $500 million by means of an amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement with RHI as the borrower, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and the various lenders parties thereto (the “Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Term Loan B-2 has a maturity date of October 20, 2028. Term Loan B-2 constitutes a separate class from the existing Term Loan B under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of August 3, 2024, we had $491 million outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $1.3 million with respect to Term Loan B-2.
Convertible Senior Notes
In September 2019, we issued in a private offering $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes,” the “Convertible Senior Notes” or the “Notes”).
As of August 3, 2024, we had $42 million remaining in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes, which have a scheduled maturity in September 2024. We anticipate borrowing additional funds under the asset based credit facility to repay the principal amount of the 2024 Notes in cash with respect to any convertible notes for which the holders elect early conversion (if applicable), as well as upon maturity of the 2024 Notes in September 2024.
Capital
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. Our adjusted capital expenditures include 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. During the six months ended August 3, 2024, adjusted capital expenditures were $133 million in aggregate, net of cash received related to landlord tenant allowances of $7.7 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.
Certain lease arrangements require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs through payments directly to us. As we develop new Galleries, as well as other potential strategic initiatives in the future like our integrated hospitality experience, we are exploring other models for our real estate activities, which include different terms and conditions for real estate transactions. These transactions may involve longer lease terms or further purchases of, or joint ventures or other forms of equity ownership in, real estate interests associated with new sites and buildings that we wish to develop for new Gallery locations or other aspects of our business. These approaches might require different levels of capital investment on our part than a traditional store lease with a landlord. We have also begun executing changes in our real estate strategy to transition some projects from a leasing model to a development model, where we buy and develop real estate for our Design Galleries either directly or through joint ventures and other structures with the ultimate objective of (i) recouping a majority of the investment through a sale-leaseback arrangement and (ii) resulting in lower capital investment and lower rent. For example, we have entered into arrangements with a third-party development partner to develop real estate for future RH Design Galleries. In the event that such capital and other expenditures require us to pursue additional funding sources, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional funding on attractive terms or at all. In addition, our capital needs and uses of capital may change in the future due to changes in our business or new opportunities that we may pursue.

Cash Flow Analysis
A summary of operating, investing, and financing activities is set forth in the following table:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, impairments, stock-based compensation and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.
For the six months ended August 3, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $67 million and consisted of net income of $25 million and an increase in non-cash items of $161 million, partially offset by a change in working capital and other activities of $119 million. The use of cash from working capital was primarily driven by an increase in merchandise inventory of $163 million, a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $48 million, a decrease in other current and non-current liabilities of $28 million, an increase in landlord assets under construction, net of tenant allowances, of $17 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $12 million. These uses of cash from working capital were partially offset by an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $123 million, an increase of deferred revenue and customer deposits of $20 million and a decrease in prepaid expense and other assets of $6.2 million.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Investing activities consist primarily of investments in capital expenditures related to investments in retail stores, information technology and systems infrastructure, as well as supply chain investments. Investing activities also include our strategic investments.
For the six months ended August 3, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $125 million and was comprised of investments in retail stores, information technology and systems infrastructure of $115 million and additional contributions to our equity method investments of $9.4 million.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings and repayments related to convertible senior notes, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, and cash used in connection with such financing activities include investments in our share repurchase program, repayment of indebtedness, including principal payments under finance lease agreements and other equity related transactions.
For the six months ended August 3, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $12 million, primarily due to proceeds from borrowings under the asset based credit facility of $25 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $11 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by payments on term loans of $13 million and net payments under finance lease agreements of $12 million.
Non-Cash Transactions
Non-cash transactions consist of non-cash additions of property and equipment and landlord assets under construction. In addition, non-cash transactions consist of excise tax from share repurchases included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at period-end.
2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 47
Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations
Leases
We lease nearly all of our retail and outlet locations, corporate headquarters, distribution centers and home delivery center locations, as well as other storage and office space. Refer to Note 8—Leases in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our lease arrangements, including the maturities of our operating and finance lease liabilities.
Most lease arrangements provide us with the option to renew the leases at defined terms. The table presenting the maturities of our lease liabilities included in Note 8—Leases in our condensed consolidated financial statements includes future obligations for renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Amounts presented therein do not include future lease payments under leases that have not commenced or estimated contingent rent due under operating and finance leases.
Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the 2024 Notes.
Refer to Note 10—Credit Facilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our asset based credit facility, including the amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit, net of outstanding letters of credit.
Term Loan
Refer to Note 10—Credit Facilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our Term Loan.
Real Estate Loans
Refer to Note 5—Variable Interest Entities in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the real estate loans held as part of our joint ventures with a third-party development partner.
We regularly review share repurchase activity and consider various factors in determining whether and when to execute investments in connection with our share repurchase program, including, among others, current cash needs, capacity for leverage, cost of borrowings, results of operations and the market price of our common stock. We believe that our share repurchase program will continue to be an excellent allocation of capital for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. We may undertake other repurchase programs in the future with respect to our securities. Starting on January 1, 2023, share repurchases under our Share Repurchase Program (as defined below) are subject to a 1% excise tax imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act.
In 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b-18 open market repurchases, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as the acquisition of other equity linked instruments, accelerated share repurchases, including through privately negotiated arrangements in which a portion of the share repurchase program is committed in advance through a financial intermediary and/or in transactions involving hedging or derivatives. On June 2, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2,000 million for the purchase of shares of our outstanding common stock, which increased the total authorized size of the share repurchase program to $2,450 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”).
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program during the six months ended August 3, 2024. As of August 3, 2024, $201 million remains available for future share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires senior leadership to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our accounting policies, estimates, and judgments on an on-going basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and such differences could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate the development and selection of our critical accounting policies and estimates and believe that certain of our significant accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity and are most significant to reporting our consolidated results of operations and financial position, and are therefore discussed as critical:
Merchandise Inventories—Reserves
Lease Accounting
Reasonably Certain Lease Term
Incremental Borrowing Rate
Fair Value
Stock-Based Compensation—Performance-Based Awards
Variable Interest Entities
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates listed above from the disclosures included in the 2023 Form 10-K. For further discussion regarding these policies, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards in our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently issued accounting standards that may impact our results in future reporting periods.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
There have been no significant changes in our exposures to market risk since February 3, 2024. Refer to Part II, Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our 2023 Form 10-K for a discussion on our exposures to market risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As described in our 2023 Form 10-K and in Note 10—Credit Facilities of our condensed consolidated financial statements herein, our Term Loan Credit Agreement bears interest at variable rates and we are exposed to interest rate risk related to our outstanding debt. For every 100-basis point change in interest rates, our annual interest expense could change by $24 million.
2024 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 49
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our senior leadership team, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of August 3, 2024, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our senior leadership team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, we and/or members of our senior leadership team are involved in litigation, claims, investigations and other proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, including purported class action litigation, as well as securities class action litigation. Such legal proceedings may include claims related to our employment practices, wage and hour claims, claims of intellectual property infringement, including with respect to trademarks and trade dress, claims asserting unfair competition and unfair business practices, claims with respect to our collection and sale of reproduction products, and consumer class action claims relating to our consumer practices. In addition, from time to time, we are subject to product liability and personal injury claims for the products that we sell and the Galleries we operate. Subject to certain exceptions, our purchase orders generally require the vendor to indemnify us against any product liability claims; however, if the vendor does not have insurance or becomes insolvent, we may not be indemnified. In addition, we could face a wide variety of employee claims against us, including general discrimination, privacy, labor and employment, ERISA and disability claims. Any claims could result in litigation against us and could also result in regulatory proceedings being brought against us by various federal and state agencies that regulate our business, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Often these cases raise complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to risks and uncertainties and which could require significant senior leadership time. Litigation and other claims and regulatory proceedings against us could result in unexpected expenses and liability and could also materially adversely affect our operations and our reputation.
For additional information regarding legal proceedings, including certain securities litigation, refer to Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements within Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results or cash flows. For a detailed discussion of certain risks that affect our business, refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.
The risks described in our 2023 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. We describe in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q certain known trends and uncertainties that affect our business. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
