To Our People, Partners and Shareholders,
We articulated at the beginning of the year that we will be managing the business with a bias for earnings versus revenue growth in fiscal 2018. We will restrain ourselves from chasing low quality sales at the expense of profitability like many in our industry, and instead focus on building an operating platform that will enable us to compete and win over the long-term.
Our first quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share of
We achieved record adjusted operating margins of 9.6% in the first quarter versus 1.5% last year, more than double our previous Q1 record of 4.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 when adjusted operating margins reached an all-time high of 9.7% for the full year.
Adjusted gross margins increased 750 basis points to a first quarter record of 38.0%, compared to 30.5% last year reflecting strong full price selling, lower outlet revenues, and a more streamlined distribution and reverse logistics network.
First quarter adjusted net income reached
Comparable brand revenues grew 1% in the quarter, despite a 4 point drag from cycling last year’s inventory reduction efforts. Adjusted for last year’s inventory reduction efforts, comparable brand revenues increased 5% versus a 9% increase last year.
While first quarter net revenues of
Our work this past year to consolidate our distribution center network from four facilities to two while streamlining operations throughout our supply chain, has resulted in a significantly more efficient cost and working capital model. We believe this new model will prove to be a long-term competitive advantage that will separate and distinguish RH’s operating results for years to come.
Raising Fiscal 2018 Guidance, Providing Second Quarter Guidance and Updating Long-Term Financial Targets
As a result of our strong first quarter performance and accelerating revenue trends in the second quarter, we are raising our fiscal 2018 guidance for a second time this year.We are providing the following updated guidance for fiscal 2018:
-
Adjusted net revenues in the range of
$2.53 - $2.57 billion , an increase of 5% - 7% on a comparable 52-week vs. 52-week basis. - Adjusted gross margin in the range of 39.3% to 39.6% and adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue in the range of 28.6% to 28.9%.
- Adjusted operating margin in the range of 10.4% - 11.0%.
-
Adjusted net income in the range of
$168 - $181 million versus our previous range of$145 - $165 million . -
Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of
$6.34 - $6.83 based on a fully diluted share count of 26.5 million shares. -
Net capital expenditures in the range of
$75 million to $85 million . -
Merchandise inventories in the range of
$450 to $475 million , down 10% to 15% versus last year. -
Free cash flow in excess of
$260 million versus previous guidance for free cash flow in excess of$250 million .
We are providing the following guidance for the second quarter:
-
Adjusted net revenues in the range of
$655 - $662 million , an increase of 6% - 7% versus last year. - Adjusted gross margin in the range of 40.5% to 40.7% and adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue in the range of 29.6% to 29.8%.
- Adjusted operating margin in the range of 10.8% - 11.1%.
-
Adjusted net income in the range of
$45 - $47 million . -
Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of
$1.70 - $1.77 based on a fully diluted share count of 26.5 million shares.
Last quarter, we introduced an Intermediate and Long-Term Outlook with expectations for accelerated revenue growth and continued margin expansion with line of sight to adjusted operating margins in the low-to-mid teens by 2021.
Based on investor feedback we are providing the following margin and leverage opportunities that would bridge to low-to-mid teens adjusted operating margins by Fiscal 2021:
- 150 - 200 basis points of expense savings and margin enhancement from our new operating platform.
- 150 - 200 basis points of margin expansion and SG&A leverage from our real estate transformation.
- 50 basis points from cycling the start-up costs from RH Hospitality.
- 50 basis points from neutralizing the earnings drag from Waterworks.
Additionally, we are updating our long-term targets to include a return on invested capital1 (ROIC) goal. As a result of our rapidly improving profitability and capital efficient operating and real estate strategies, we are now forecasting ROIC in excess of 30% by fiscal 2021, an increase from 22% expected in fiscal 2018 and 10% in fiscal 2017
We see a clear path to
Our long-term targets remain revenue growth of 8% - 12% and earnings growth of 15% - 20% annually
2018 - A Continued Focus on Execution, Architecture and Cash
As communicated, we will continue to focus on executing our new business model, architecting a new operating platform and driving significant cash flow by increasing revenues and earnings, while decreasing inventory and capital spending.
We expect revenues to accelerate into the second quarter and through the
second half of 2018 as we cycle last year’s inventory optimization
efforts. Additionally, the new RH Interiors and RH Modern Source Books
have been arriving in customer’s homes over the past several weeks. We
expect to benefit from the introduction of several innovative new
collections, and the incremental customer contact this year of

which will significantly increase the time product remains in its

We expect our work to architect a new operating platform, inclusive of our distribution center network redesign, the redesign of our reverse logistics and outlet business, and the reconceptualization of our home delivery and customer experience, will drive lower costs and inventory levels, and higher earnings and inventory turns throughout the balance of fiscal 2018. Looking forward, we expect our ongoing efforts to result in a dramatically improved customer experience, continued margin enhancement and significant cost savings over the next several years.
Regarding our balance sheet and leverage ratios, we fully expect future
cash flow will be adequate to repay the outstanding principal of our
Over the last three quarters, we have substantially reduced our net debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA from 5x at the end the second quarter fiscal 2017 to 3x at the end of the first quarter fiscal 2018. Based on the continued strong financial performance of our business driving higher Adjusted EBITDA, we are in a position to reduce this ratio to less than 2x at the end of fiscal 2018.
The strength of our business and the reduction in leverage we have achieved during the past three quarters puts us in a strong position to take advantage of the positive conditions in the capital markets. We currently have multiple financing alternatives available to us on favorable terms that could provide us with additional financial flexibility with respect to capital allocation.
Looking back, had we not been opportunistic in responding to the
favorable market conditions through our convertible notes financings in
2014 and 2015, we would not have been in a position to repurchase
As we did in fiscal 2017, we will once again hold ourselves back from adding new businesses in fiscal 2018 outside of ongoing investments in RH Hospitality as we remain focused on optimizing the profitability of our new operating platform. We will continue to manage the business with a bias for earnings versus revenue growth, and will restrain ourselves from chasing low quality sales at the expense of profitability like many in our industry.
It remains clear to us as we witness the failures of high growth - no
profit, online pure plays and the declining operating margins of
traditional retailers who are driving an unnatural shift online, that
the complexities and costs of scaling a furniture business will favor
those who control their brand from concept to customer, offer an
immersive and inspiring physical and digital experience, and have a
superior logistics network that extends the brand into the customer’s
home. The road of endless promotions, free shipping, and a shrinking
store base is resulting in broken and unsustainable retail models. We
prefer the road less traveled by, and like

2019 - A Pivot to High Quality, Sustainable Growth
We plan a return to our product and brand expansion strategy in 2019, which has been on hold as we focused on our move to membership and the architecture of our new operating platform. We have several new brand extension plans in our development pipeline, and look forward to unveiling them as we pivot back to growth next year.

We continue to evolve from a leasing to a development model that will
reduce occupancy costs and increase our return on capital. We currently
have two projects,
Additionally, due to the productivity and proof of concept of our recent new Galleries, we are able to negotiate capital light traditional leasing deals, where 65% to 100% of the capital requirement will be funded by the landlord, versus 50% previously. All of the above mentioned deal structures lead to lower capital requirements, and significantly higher returns on invested capital.
Building a Brand with No Peer and a Customer Experience That Cannot Be Replicated Online
We do understand that the strategies we are pursuing - opening the largest specialty retail experiences in our industry while most are shrinking the size of their retail footprint or closing stores; moving from a promotional to a membership model, while others are increasing promotions, positioning their brands around price versus product; continuing to mail inspiring Source Books, while many are eliminating catalogs; and refusing to follow the herd in self-promotion on social media, instead allowing our brand to be defined by the taste, design, and quality of the products and experiences we are creating - are all in direct conflict with conventional wisdom and the plans being pursued by many in our industry.
We believe when you step back and consider: one, we are building a brand with no peer; two, we are creating a customer experience that cannot be replicated online; and three, we have total control of our brand from concept to customer, you realize what we are building is extremely rare in today’s retail landscape, and, we would argue, will also prove to be equally valuable.
In closing, we are deeply grateful for our people and partners whose passion and persistence bring our vision and values to life each day, as we pursue our quest to become one of the most admired brands in the world.

1 Return on invested capital (ROIC): We define ROIC as adjusted operating income after-tax for the most recent twelve-month period, divided by the average of beginning and ending debt and equity less cash and equivalents as well as short and long term investments for the most recent twelve-month period. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our method of determining ROIC may differ from other companies’ methods and therefore may not be comparable.
Q&A CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION
Accompanying this release,
ABOUT
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net revenue, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, free cash flow, adjusted operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively, “non-GAAP financial measures”). We compute these measures by adjusting the applicable GAAP measures to remove the impact of certain recurring and non-recurring charges and gains and the tax effect of these adjustments. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company in this press release may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures, including similarly titled measures, used by other companies.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures tables in this press release. These accompanying tables include details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

[d] | Represents an adjustment to the lease related liability associated with the Dallas distribution center closure in fiscal 2017, primarily due to the remeasurement of the liability for lease losses resulting from a sublease agreement we entered into in April 2018 that resulted in an update to both the timing and the term of future lease-related cash inflows. | |
[e] | Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for GAAP purposes for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2014 (the “2019 Notes”) and for the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components and we are amortizing as debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the equity components as interest expense on the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes over their respective terms. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $0.6 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively. | |
[f] | The adjustments for the three months ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017 represent the tax effect of the adjusted items based on our effective tax rates of 23.3% and 36.2%, respectively. | |
[g] | Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted net income as net income (loss), adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted net income is included in this press release because management believes that adjusted net income provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. | |

TOPIC 606 IMPACT OF ADOPTION
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
We adopted ASU 2014-09 (“Topic 606”), which pertains to revenue
recognition, on
The adoption of Topic 606 had the most material impact on the timing of advertising expense recognition related to direct response advertising, including costs associated with the Company’s Source Books. Under Topic 606, the Company will recognize expense associated with the Source Books upon the delivery of the Source Books to the carrier. Prior to adoption of Topic 606, costs associated with Source Books were capitalized and amortized over their expected period of future benefit.

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

Note: The table above is intended to demonstrate the impact of increasing stock prices on our adjusted diluted shares outstanding due to 1) additional in-the-money options and 2) the higher cost of acquired shares under the treasury stock method. |

For GAAP purposes, we will incur dilution above the lower strike prices of our 2019 and 2020 convertible notes of $116.09 and $118.13, respectively. However, no additional shares will be included in our Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding calculation between $116.09 and $171.98 for our 2019 convertible notes, and between $118.13 and $189.00 for our 2020 convertible notes, based on the bond hedge contracts in place that will deliver shares to offset dilution in these ranges. At stock prices in excess of $171.98 and $189.00, we will incur dilution related to the 2019 convertible notes and 2020 convertible notes, respectively, and our obligation to deliver additional shares in excess of the dilution protection provided by the bond hedges. |
||
The calculation also includes assumptions around the timing and number of options exercises. Actual diluted shares outstanding may differ if actual exercises differ from estimates. The stock option awards outstanding for RH’s Chairman and CEO are included in all of the adjusted diluted shares outstanding scenarios above based on the exercise prices of $46.50, $75.43 and $50.00 for the November 2012, July 2013 and May 2017 grants, respectively. |
