To Our People, Partners, and Shareholders:
I am pleased to report strong second quarter results as we move past the
most uncertain stages of our transformation. In 2016, we made the brave
decision to transform our business from a promotional to a membership
model that we believe will enhance our brand, streamline our operations,
and dramatically improve our customer experience. We also began the
redesign of our supply chain network, rationalizing our product offer,
and transitioning inventory into fewer facilities, which will create a
significantly more efficient capital model. 2016 was also the first full
year of many new business initiatives such as RH Modern, RH Teen,
2017 A year of Execution, Architecture, and Cash
While 2016 was a year of transformation and transition, 2017 will be a
year of execution, architecture, and cash at
As we anniversary the launch of the RH Members Program, and the initial stage of the redesign of our supply chain network, we are beginning to experience the benefits of membership and a dramatically simplified operating model. I’ve summarized some of the highlights below.
Adjusted net revenues for the second quarter increased 14% to
Our profit margins in the second quarter continued to be affected by efforts to rationalize our product offer and reduce inventories. Outlet revenues were up 46% in the quarter on significantly reduced margins versus last year. We estimate that incremental Outlet activity pulled down our overall gross margins by approximately 210 basis points in the second quarter, and approximately 330 basis points in the first half. We expect Outlet margins to improve during the third quarter and to normalize by the fourth quarter.
Our efforts to optimize inventory and reduce capital spending generated
We have reinvested the
A simplified and more efficient business model and operating platform
As we’ve said, our goal is to architect a new operating platform in 2017 that will simplify our business, enhance the customer experience, and amplify decision quality and speed. Our initial efforts will focus on our distribution center network, decision data, and the home delivery experience. As a result of our work to redesign our distribution network and optimize inventory, we were able to forego building a fifth furniture distribution center planned to open this year, and now believe we can operate our business with even fewer facilities. Our plan is to consolidate our current furniture distribution center network from four to three locations by the fourth quarter. Managing our business in fewer facilities will reduce inventory risk, increase turns, and should result in higher merchandise margins over time. This change will also eliminate the occupancy and overhead of approximately 900,000 square feet of distribution space.
Additionally, we have re-conceptualized our Outlet and reverse logistics
business. Previously product returns would go from a customer’s home and
be returned to a distribution center, then eventually transferred to one
of our outlet locations. We believe by rerouting customer returns away
from our distribution centers, in favor of in-market alternatives, we
will reduce transportation and handling costs, plus improve selling
margins across our Outlet network. Our early tests indicate that this
initiative could yield substantial savings and margin enhancement
opportunity in the range of
Other positive trends we are experiencing as a result of our new membership model and the simplification of our distribution network include an approximate 150 basis point reduction in our return rate, an approximate 100 basis point reduction in our exchange rate, and an approximate 200 basis point reduction in our cancel rate. We believe that membership has eliminated the frantic buying patterns and associated returns, exchanges, and canceled orders that are the result of a chaotic promotional model. We expect these factors to contribute to improved financial performance through higher conversion of demand into revenue, improved margins and lower costs across our operating platform. We also believe that these changes will result in an overall improvement in our customer experience which should yield additional longer term benefits for our brand. Most importantly, the simplification of our business model is enabling our leaders and team members to identify and act on opportunities that would have otherwise gone unnoticed in the chaos of a highly promotional model that prevails at many other retailers.
As previously communicated, we believe there is an opportunity to improve the customer experience by taking greater control of the final mile in-home delivery. As you know, we have in-sourced the majority of our home delivery hubs, but continue to use third party contractors for the actual delivery into our customer’s home. The current regional provider networks are designed to support mass and mid-market companies, and their service offering is not currently architected for the luxury market. We have achieved significant scale such that we can now explore and test alternative solutions in many markets, including the use of our own trucks and drivers, and believe we can dramatically enhance the customer experience while driving down return rates, damages, and deliveries per order.
The expansion of our product offer continues to drive industry leading growth
The expansion of our product offer continues to be one of our key value driving strategies, and a proven core strength of the organization. We have demonstrated our ability to test, scale, and roll out multiple brand extensions, such as RH Modern, Outdoor, Baby & Child, and Teen, plus expand our services to include RH Design Services, focused on the consumer market, and RH Contract, focused on the commercial and hospitality markets. We have several other brand extensions in development that we will begin to unveil once we are confident we have the core pieces of our new operating platform in place.
While we are pleased with the performance of our Core RH Business in the first half of 2017, we believe there remains opportunity to improve our long term financial performance, and gain additional market share.
The analysis of our redesigned RH Interiors Source Book mailed last fall
indicates we under marketed some of our best sellers and franchise
businesses, while also moving the brand too far towards a contemporary
aesthetic. You will notice in our Fall 2017 RH Interiors Source Book,
scheduled to be in-home in October, a greater emphasis on the updated
classic design that
The early results of RH Modern continue to be very promising, and we
expect sustained growth as we broaden the assortment and enlarge the
retail footprint. We continue to believe RH Modern has the potential to
become a billion dollar plus brand in
Our investment in RH Interior Design Services is beginning to pay dividends. Our design business is growing rapidly, as we evolve the brand from creating and selling products, to conceptualizing and selling spaces. We are quickly becoming the leading brand for luxury clients seeking professional interior design services. We also provide an invaluable service to independent interior designers, offering an efficient and cost effective alternative to shopping in multiple showrooms, eliminating the need to manage multiple orders and incur multiple delivery charges.
We continue to refine and enhance the strategies of our developing businesses, RH Baby & Child, RH Teen, RH Contract, and Waterworks. All of these businesses are contributing to our growth, and we expect this to continue as they evolve over time.
The transformation of our real estate has the potential to double our retail sales in every market
The transformation of our real estate continues to be our largest value
driving strategy. As we have previously articulated, less than 10% of
our assortment is displayed in our legacy retail Galleries, and the key
to unlocking the potential of our brand is to transform our retail
stores into new Design Galleries. We are pleased with the performance of
our Galleries opened thus far, and continue to expect our retail sales
to double in every market we open a new
As our assortment continues to evolve and grow, so has the size of our
new Design Galleries. The majority of our new locations under
development include a dedicated floor for RH Modern, as well as an

Looking forward, driving high quality sustainable growth
While we continue to expect strong revenue growth, expanding operating
margins, and significant free cash flow in the second half of fiscal
2017, we are taking a cautiously optimistic approach to our outlook
given the uncertain macro environment in addition to the many
initiatives and investments we are undertaking. As such, we are guiding
adjusted net revenues for the third quarter to a range of
For fiscal year 2017, we are increasing our adjusted net income guidance
to a range of
Please note, we are also providing guidance for adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, adjusted operating income, and adjusted operating margins for the third quarter, fourth quarter, and the fiscal year in the attached tables.
As previously discussed, we believe there is an opportunity to improve our financial results and return on invested capital by having a more disciplined approach to capital allocation. Accordingly, we plan to reduce our new Gallery opening cadence to a range of 3 to 5 per year, which is expected to drive high-quality sustainable growth, while lowering capital requirements and execution risk over the course of our real estate transformation. In fiscal 2017, we expect to open 3 next generation Design Galleries, all with an integrated food and beverage experience, and 3 to 5 Design Galleries in 2018.
We remain confident in reaching our long-term goal of
Building a brand with no peer and a customer experience that cannot be replicated online
We do understand that many of the strategies we are pursuing - opening the largest specialty retail experiences in our industry while most are shrinking the size of their retail footprint and 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 platforms, instead allowing our brand to be defined by the taste, style, 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 we are - one, building a brand with no peer; two, creating a customer experience that cannot be replicated online; and three, have total control of our content from concept to customer - you realize what we are building is extremely rare in contrast to today's retail landscape. Yet, our most valuable asset is not what we've done, but rather who we've become. We've become a team of people who don't know what can't be done. A team that is driven by our values and beliefs. A team that is willing to march into hell, as we did last year, for a heavenly cause. A team that has a bold vision for the future, and an organization that is demonstrating it can bring that vision to life.

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 expected lives. 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.

THIRD QUARTER, FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL 2017 OUTLOOK |
||||||
(In millions, except per share data) |
||||||
RH’s fiscal 2017 will include 53 weeks compared to the prior fiscal year which included 52 weeks. The Company is providing the following outlook for the third quarter, fourth quarter and fiscal 2017: |
||||||
Third Quarter |
Fourth Quarter |
Fiscal Year |
||||
Adjusted net revenues | $575 – $590 | $664 – $689 | $2,420 – $2,460 | |||
% growth vs. prior year | 5% – 7% | 13% – 17% | 13% – 15% | |||
Adjusted gross margin (% of net revenues) | 36.6% – 36.9% | 36.5% – 37.0% | 34.5% – 34.8% | |||
Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses (% of net revenues) |
29.3% – 29.6% | 26.9% – 27.0% | 28.2% – 28.3% | |||
Adjusted operating income | $40 – $45 | $63 – $69 | $151 – $162 | |||
% growth vs. prior year | 121% – 148% | 23% – 36% | 47% – 58% | |||
Adjusted operating margin (% of net revenues) | 7.0% – 7.6% | 9.4% – 10.0% | 6.2% – 6.6% | |||
Adjusted net income | $16 – $19 | $33 – $37 | $70 – $77 | |||
% growth vs. prior year | 100% – 137% | 16% – 31% | 35% – 49% | |||
Adjusted diluted EPS | $0.68 – $0.80 | $1.34 – $1.51 | $2.43 – $2.67 | |||
Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding | 23.7 | 24.2 | 28.8 | |||
Capital expenditures | $120 – $140 | |||||
Planned asset sales | $15 – $25 | |||||
Note: RH’s fiscal 2017 will include 53 weeks compared to the prior fiscal year which included 52 weeks. The extra week in fiscal 2017 is expected to add approximately $45 million to $47 million in net revenues and approximately $0.21 to $0.23 in adjusted earnings per share for the fourth quarter and fiscal year. The Company’s adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to net revenues, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income, operating margin, net income, and diluted earnings per share 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, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. 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. |
