TO OUR PEOPLE, PARTNERS AND SHAREHOLDERS
The important work and substantial investments we’ve made over the past two years are now resulting in meaningful share gains and significant strategic separation, positioning the RH brand to expand its leadership position across the luxury home market over the next decade.
The positive inflection of our business continued to accelerate in the fourth quarter with revenue up 18%, and adjusted operating income increasing 57%, in each case on a comparable 13-week basis, outperforming other home furnishing businesses by a wide margin, as the most prolific product transformation and platform expansion in the history of our industry continues to unfold.
Our industry leading growth in the quarter was driven by the RH Brand where fourth quarter demand increased 21%, demonstrating the disruptive nature of our product transformation. While demand softened in mid-December after mortgage rates spiked and mortgage applications fell 22 percent post the Fed signaling rates would remain largely unchanged this year, RH Brand demand stabilized at up 19% in January.
1 | FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER |
While we expect a higher risk business environment this year due to the uncertainty caused by tariffs, market volatility and inflation risk, we believe it’s important to separate the signal from the noise. The fact is, we’ve been operating in the worst housing market in almost 50 years. For context, in 1978 there were 4.09 million existing homes sold when the U.S. had a population of 223 million. Contrast that to 2024 where 4.06 million existing homes sold with a population of 341 million, and it illuminates just how depressed the housing market has been this past year.
Despite that fact, we are performing at a level most would expect in a robust housing market. We believe it’s a result of investing with a very narrow focus and a long-term view, or what we like to call, “An inch wide and a mile deep.” Elevating and expanding our platform by creating the most desired products presented in the most inspiring spaces in the world, with bespoke interior design services and beautiful restaurants that generate energy, engagement and tremendous awareness of the RH brand, while also serving as a profitable customer acquisition vehicle. Our intentions and attention to detail are reflected in everything we do, and in every house we turn into a home.
While we ended the year with meaningful debt, mostly due to our stock repurchases of $2.2 billion, we also ended the year with incredible business momentum and meaningful assets. These assets include real estate that we believe has an estimated equity value of approximately $500 million, which we plan to monetize opportunistically as market conditions warrant, and excess inventory of $200 to $300 million at cost, that we plan to turn into cash as we optimize our assortments post our product transformation. Inclusive of our plans for significant and growing cash flow from operations, we remain confident in our ability to make the necessary investments to continue our industry leading growth, while paying down debt and lowering interest expense.
OUTLOOK
Based on our current plans and the uncertain macroeconomic environment we are providing the following financial outlook for the full year and first quarter.
Fiscal Year 2025
Revenue Growth of 10% to 13%
Adjusted Operating Margin of 14% to 15%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 20% to 21%
First Quarter 2025
Revenue Growth of 12.5% to 13.5%
Adjusted Operating Margin of 6.5% to 7.0%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 12.5% to 13.0%
The above outlook includes a negative 160 to 200 basis point Operating Margin impact from investments and startup costs to support our international expansion.
“EVERY ACT OF CREATION IS FIRST AN ACT OF DESTRUCTION” – Pablo Picasso
We have worked hard to destroy the former version of ourselves and are in the process of unleashing what we believe is an exponentially more inspiring and disruptive RH brand. We believe the important investments we are making during this depressed housing cycle are creating a level of strategic separation in our industry that rivals the most important brands in the world.
Our Product Transformation Plans for 2025 include:
The introduction of our new RH Outdoor Sourcebook, featuring the most dominant assortment of high-quality outdoor furniture in the world arrived in homes early February with eight new furniture collections, an exciting new textiles offering, plus a significantly improved in-stock position to start the season versus a year ago.
2 | FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER |
The introduction of our new RH Interiors Sourcebook arrived in homes mid-February though early March, featuring 42 new collectionsacross furniture, upholstery, lighting, rugs and textiles, as well as an additional 15 new collections launched on RH.com. While we had planned a higher amount of new collections for this book, due to the rapidly changing economic outlook, we believed it was prudent to delay some of our introductions until later in the year.
The launch of a significant new brand extension in the Fall of 2025 that we believe will meaningfully expand the market size and share of the RH brand. This new brand extension will include a new Sourcebook, a significant website presence and two freestanding Galleries dedicated to the New Concept. Our plan includes integrating RH Couture Upholstery by Dmitriy & Co. and RH Bespoke Furniture by Joseph Jeup into this new brand extension, enabling greater exposure and market reach versus standalone concepts. We will be sharing more details of this exciting new venture during our first quarter earnings call.
As communicated last quarter, we do not expect a negative impact to results related to previously announced increased tariffs on products from China, Canada or Mexico. As it relates to reciprocal and other tariffs that will be announced today, as we’ve done with prior tariffs, we will be working with our manufacturing partners to mitigate the impact to both our margins and costs to our customers.
We believe it is also important to note that we have been manufacturing upholstered furniture in our own North Carolina factory for over ten years, and have recently expanded the facility, doubling our capacity. We are currently projecting that 48% of our upholstered furniture will be produced in the U.S., 21% of our upholstered furniture will be produced in Italy, and 14% of our total business will be produced in the U.S. by the end of this year.
Now let me shift your attention to the expansion of our platform.
PLATFORM EXPANSION
We continue to open the most inspiring and immersive physical experiences in our industry and some would say the world. Spaces that are a reflection of human design, a study of balance, symmetry and perfect proportions. Spaces that blur the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, home and hospitality. Spaces with garden courtyards, rooftop restaurants, wine and barista bars. Spaces that activate all of the senses, and spaces that cannot be replicated online.
Our plan to expand the RH brand globally, address new markets locally, and transform our North American Galleries represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity.
Our Platform Expansion Plans for 2025 include:
The opening of 7 Design Galleries, 2 Outdoor Galleries, plus 2 New Concept Galleries.
The seven new Design Galleries are: RH Oklahoma City, The Gallery at the Oak and RH Montreal, The Gallery at Royalmount, both opening in the first half of this year. RH Paris, The Gallery on the Champs-Élysées, RH Detroit, The Gallery in Birmingham, RH Manhasset, The Gallery at the Americana, RH San Diego, The Gallery at University Town Center, and RH Palm Desert, The Gallery on El Paseo, are all opening in the second half of this year.
Additionally, we plan to expand our brand presence in Greenwich, Connecticut, by developing a multi-building RH Design Ecosystem inclusive of the existing RH Gallery at the Historic Post Office, a freestanding RH Outdoor Gallery that opened last month, plus a New Concept Gallery in the former Ralph Lauren building on Greenwich Avenue opening in the second half of this year.
We also plan to expand our brand presence in East Hampton this Summer by opening a freestanding RH Outdoor Gallery and are exploring plans to further enhance our Design Ecosystem with a New Concept Gallery in the near future.
As previously communicated, we anticipate an inflection of our business in Europe as we begin to open in the important brand building markets of Paris in 2025, plus London and Milan in 2026, all with dramatic and brand
3 | FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SHAREHOLDER LETTER |
building hospitality experiences. We believe post each opening we will begin to have the scale to support the necessary advertising investments to accelerate our growth in Europe.
“EVERY MOVEMENT HAS A LUNATIC FRINGE.” – Theodore Roosevelt
America’s first Nobel Prize winner. Commander of the legendary Rough Riders. Medal of Honor recipient. Promoter of the Conservation Movement. Leader of the Progressive Movement. Noted for his exuberant personality and ranked by scholars as one of our greatest presidents. Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt proclaimed in his famous speech at the Sorbonne in Paris…
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man or woman who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man or woman who is actually in the arena. Whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly. Who errs and comes up short again and again. Because there is no effort without error or shortcoming. But he or she who actually strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions. Who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at his best, knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at his worst, if he fails, as least fails while daring greatly. So his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
While our ambitions are not political, they are personal.
We remain inspired by the progressive thinkers, unafraid to push forward new ideas and fresh perspectives. It’s a culture of leadership versus follow-ship, innovation versus duplication, enlightenment versus ego. It’s believing none of us are smarter than all of us, that we need all the brains in the game and the egos out of the room. It’s about thinking until it hurts, until we can see what others can’t see, so we can do what others can’t do.
That’s how you transform a money losing Restoration Hardware store at Aventura Mall in Miami that did $2 million in annual sales into an RH Gallery that does $44 million in the exact same space with the exact same square footage. It’s also how we will transform that $44 million dollar legacy Gallery into a $100 million dollar plus RH Design Compound (a yet to be unveiled multi-building design resort of sorts) in the parking lot of the same shopping center.
Over 20 years ago, we began this journey with a vision of transforming a nearly bankrupt business that had a $20 million market cap and a box of Oxydol laundry detergent on the cover of its catalog into the leading luxury home brand in the world. The lessons and learnings, the insights and intricacies, the sacrifices made and scar tissue developed by getting knocked down 10 times and getting up 11 leads to the development of the mental and moral qualities that build character in individuals and form cultures in organizations. Lessons that can’t be learned in a classroom, or by managing a business, lessons that must be earned by building one.
Are we a part of the lunatic fringe?
If it means, as President Roosevelt said in his speech at the Sorbonne, that “our place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat,” then put us in that arena.
Onward Team RH.
Carpe Diem,
Gary Friedman
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Note:
Demand is an operating metric that we use in reference to the dollar value of orders placed (orders convert to net revenue upon a customer obtaining control of the merchandise) and excludes exchanges and shipping fees.
Total demand represents the demand generated from all of our businesses including RH Interiors, RH Modern, RH Contemporary, RH Outdoor, RH Baby & Child, RH TEEN, RH Contract, Membership, Dmitriy & Co, Joseph Jeup and Waterworks, as well as sales from RH Hospitality and RH Outlet.
RH Brand Demand represents demand from RH Interiors, RH Modern, RH Contemporary and RH Outdoor generated through our Galleries and online.
Due to fiscal 2023 being a 53-week year, demand growth for fiscal 2024 and for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 excludes the extra week, and is therefore calculated on a 52-week and 13-week comparable basis, respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net revenues, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted operating margin, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses margin, adjusted capital expenditures, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, trailing twelve months EBITDA and trailing twelve months 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 to adjust for the impact of income tax items related to such adjustments to our GAAP financial statements. 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 we use in this 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 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.

Matters that we identify as “short-term,” “non-recurring,” “unusual,” “one-time,” or other words and terms of similar meaning may, in fact, not be short term and may recur in one or more future financial reporting periods. We cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect, or that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. All discussions of new developments are subject to inherent uncertainty as to timing and the manner in which a new development may ultimately be launched including that certain new concepts may be canceled prior to introduction. Important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, among others, risks related to our dependence on key personnel and any changes in key personnel; negative publicity; successful implementation of our growth strategy; uncertainties in the current and long-term performance of our business including a range of risks related to our operations as well as external economic factors; general economic conditions and the impact on consumer confidence and spending; changes in customer demand for our products; decisions concerning the allocation of capital including the extent to which we repurchase additional shares of our common stock which will affect shares outstanding and EPS; factors affecting our outstanding indebtedness; our ability to anticipate consumer preferences and buying trends, and maintain our brand promise to customers; changes in consumer spending based on weather and other conditions beyond our control; risks related to the number of new business initiatives we are undertaking including international expansion, our real estate and Gallery development strategy and our expansion into new business areas such as

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

(1) | Adjusted capital expenditures is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted capital expenditures as capital expenditures from investing activities and cash outflows of capital related to construction activities to design and build landlord-owned leased assets, net of tenant allowances received during the construction period. Adjusted capital expenditures is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted capital expenditures provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

We received landlord tenant allowances subsequent to lease commencement of $4.8 million and $2.4 million in the year ended February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively. We received landlord tenant allowances subsequent to lease commencement of $4.8 million in the three months ended February 1, 2025 and did not receive any such tenant allowances in the three months ended February 3, 2024. |

(1) | The adjustments in the three months and year ended February 1, 2025 include $17 million for property and equipment of Galleries under construction. The adjustment in the year ended February 1, 2025 also includes $19 million of long-lived asset impairment for our two Design Galleries in Germany. These two Design Galleries were a required part of a real estate lease acquisition strategy of four European locations that included our two key iconic Design Galleries of RH Paris and RH London. We intentionally decided not to extend the leases of the Design Galleries in Germany beyond their pre-existing terms, both of which end in 2027, until we have greater clarity of business post the opening of the locations in Paris and London. In addition, the adjustment in the year ended February 1, 2025 includes pre-acquisition costs related to an unsuccessful joint venture arrangement of $1.0 million. The adjustment in the year ended February 3, 2024 includes impairment of property and equipment of $2.2 million related to the interior refresh of our Design Galleries, as well as impairment of a loan receivable of $1.3 million. |
(2) | Represents the amortization of the non-cash compensation charge related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020. |
(3) | Represents severance costs and related payroll taxes associated with reorganizations. |
(4) | The adjustment in the year ended February 1, 2025 represents favorable legal settlements received of $10 million, partially offset by costs incurred in connection with one of the matters. The adjustments in the three months and year ended February 3, 2024 represent legal settlements associated with class action litigation matters. |
(5) | Represents accrual adjustments related to product recall charges. |
(6) | We exclude the GAAP tax provision and apply a non-GAAP tax provision based upon (i) adjusted pre-tax net income, (ii) the projected annual adjusted tax rate and (iii) the exclusion of material discrete tax items that are unusual or infrequent, such as the Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit related to the San Francisco Design Gallery in the year ended February 3, 2024. The adjustments for the three months ended February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024 are based on adjusted tax rates of 1.7% and (31.7)%, respectively.

(1) | For the year ended February 1, 2025 and for the three months and year ended February 3, 2024, we incurred dilution for the principal of the convertible senior notes assuming the if-converted method. For non-GAAP purposes, our adjusted diluted shares outstanding calculation excludes the dilutive impact of the principal value of the convertible senior notes since we have the intent and ability to settle the principal value of such notes in cash. |
(2) | For the three months ended February 1, 2025, the diluted share count used to calculate our diluted net income per share, pro forma diluted net income per share and adjusted diluted net income per share is the same due to the convertible senior notes maturing in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. |
(3) | Pro forma diluted net income per share for the year ended February 1, 2025 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 19,895,339, which excludes dilution of 96,260 shares related to the 2024 Notes. |
Pro forma diluted net income per share for the three months ended February 3, 2024 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 19,745,302, which excludes dilution of 157,168 shares related to the 2024 Notes. Pro forma diluted net income per share for the year ended February 3, 2024 is calculated based on GAAP net income and pro forma diluted weighted-average shares of 21,451,489, which excludes dilution of 148,989 shares related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes.
(4) | Refer to table titled “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income” and the related footnotes for additional information. |
(5) | Adjusted diluted net income per share is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted diluted net income per share as consolidated net income, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance divided by our pro forma share count.

(2) | Adjusted operating income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted operating income as consolidated operating income, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted operating income is included in this shareholder letter because our senior leadership team believes that adjusted operating income provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our senior leadership team uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.Our measure of adjusted operating income is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies due to different methods of calculation. |
(3) | We define operating margin as operating income divided by net revenues. We define adjusted operating margin as adjusted operating income divided by net revenues and use this non-GAAP financial measure for the same reasons we use adjusted operating income. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of our adjusted operating margin financial guidance or other non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of the non-recurring and other items that are excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures. Such adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures in prior periods. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods could have a significant impact on our non-GAAP financial measures. |

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