NOTE 1—THE COMPANY

Nature of Business

Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a luxury home furnishings retailer that offers a growing number of categories including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, tableware and children’s furnishings. These products are sold through the Company’s stores, catalogs and websites. As of August 1, 2015, the Company operated a total of 67 retail stores and 15 outlet stores in 27 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, and had sourcing operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s records and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of August 1, 2015, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014. The Company’s current fiscal year ends on January 30, 2016 (“fiscal 2015”).

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted for purposes of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 (the “2014 Form 10-K”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. This reclassification had no effect on the previously reported consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Convertible Senior Notes

In June 2015, the Company issued in a private offering $250 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, in July 2015, the Company issued an additional $50 million principal amount pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of its June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). In connection with the issuance of these notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions for which it paid an aggregate amount of $68.3 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants for which it received aggregate proceeds of $30.4 million. Taken together, the Company received total cash proceeds of $256.0 million, net of discounts upon original issuance and offering costs of $6.1 million. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes.

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting for Leases

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) is currently working on amendments to existing accounting standards governing a number of areas including, but not limited to, accounting for leases. In May 2013, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (Revised), Leases (Topic 842) (the “Exposure Draft”), which would replace the existing guidance in ASC 840—Leases (“ASC 840”). Under the Exposure Draft, among other changes in practice, a lessee’s rights and obligations under most leases, including existing and new arrangements, would be recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheet. Other significant provisions of the Exposure Draft include (i) defining the “lease term” to include the noncancellable period together with periods for which there is a significant economic incentive for the lessee to extend or not terminate the lease; (ii) defining the initial lease liability to be recorded on the balance sheet to contemplate only those variable lease payments that depend on an index or that are in substance “fixed” and (iii) a dual approach for determining whether lease expense is recognized on a straight-line or accelerated basis, depending on whether the lessee is expected to consume more than an insignificant portion of the leased asset’s economic benefits. The comment period for the Exposure Draft ended on September 13, 2013. If and when effective, this Exposure Draft will likely have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, as the standard-setting process is still ongoing, the Company is unable to determine the impact this proposed change in accounting standards will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued their converged accounting standard update on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Under the new guidance, transfer of control is no longer the same as transfer of risks and rewards as indicated in the prior guidance. The Company will also need to apply the new guidance to determine whether revenue should be recognized over time or at a point in time. This guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017), and interim periods within those years. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-14—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends Accounting Standards Update 2014-09. As a result, the effective date was deferred by one year, to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation Accounting

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02—Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which improves targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and reduces the number of consolidation models. The amendments to the guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 (the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2016), and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Classification of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03—Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Software Licenses in Cloud Computing Arrangements

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The amendments in ASU 2015-05 provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments in ASU 2015-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Measurement of Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11—Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7—CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

In June 2015, the Company issued in a private offering $250 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, in July 2015, the Company issued an additional $50 million principal amount pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of its June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2020 Notes will mature on July 15, 2020, unless earlier purchased by the Company or converted. The 2020 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2020 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of the failure of the Company to perform certain of its obligations under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of

10

Table of Contents

default” under the 2020 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2020 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s primary operating subsidiary, Restoration Hardware, Inc., as Guarantor. The guarantee is the unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and is subordinated to the Guarantor’s obligations from time to time with respect to its credit agreement and ranks equal in right of payment with respect to Guarantor’s other obligations.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2020 Notes is 8.4656 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $118.13 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2020 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2020, the 2020 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2015, 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 fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s 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 2020 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 1, 2015, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2020 Notes are not convertible as of August 1, 2015. On and after March 15, 2020, 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 2020 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2020 Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s 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.

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 the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company separated the 2020 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2020 Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.47% over the term of the 2020 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2020 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2020 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $3.8 million and third party offering costs of $2.3 million. Discounts were recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2020 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Third party offering costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as an asset and are presented in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three and six months ended August 1, 2015, the Company recorded $0.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

The carrying value of the 2020 Notes is as follows (in thousands):

Table of Contents

The Company recorded interest expense of $1.7 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2020 Notes during both the three and six months ended August 1, 2015.

2020 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2020 Notes in June 2015 and the exercise in full of the overallotment option in July 2015, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 5.1 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $118.13 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $68.3 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 5.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $189.00 per share. The Company received $30.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2020 Notes until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $189.00 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $32.8 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2020 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $26.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The current portion of the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in current deferred tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The non-current portion of the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in non-current deferred tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019

In June 2014, the Company issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) in a private offering. The 2019 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2019 Notes will mature on June 15, 2019, unless earlier purchased by the Company or converted. The 2019 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2019 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of the failure of the Company to perform certain of its obligations under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. The 2019 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2019 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2019 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2019 Notes is 8.6143 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $116.09 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2019 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2019, the 2019 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2014, 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 fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s 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 2019 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of August 1, 2015, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2019 Notes are not convertible as of August 1, 2015. On and after March 15, 2019, 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 2019 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2019 Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s 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.

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 the issuance of the 2019 Notes, the Company separated the 2019 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a

similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2019 Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 4.51% over the term of the 2019 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2019 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Notes were comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers of $4.4 million and third party offering costs of $1.0 million. Discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers attributable to the liability component were recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2019 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Third party offering costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as an asset and are presented in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively. During the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively.

The carrying value of the 2019 Notes is as follows (in thousands):

The Company recorded interest expense of $3.3 million and $1.6 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2019 Notes during the three months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $6.6 million and $1.6 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2019 Notes during the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively.

2019 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $116.09 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $73.3 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $171.98 per share. The Company received $40.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual dilution from the conversion of the 2019 Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price from $116.09 per share to $171.98 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 8—LINE OF CREDIT

In August 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc., along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into a credit agreement (the “prior credit agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. On November 24, 2014, the Company amended its existing revolving line of credit by entering into an amended and restated credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent. The amended and restated credit agreement increased the existing revolving line of credit by $182.5 million, while eliminating the $15.0 million term loan facility under the existing revolving line of credit. Under the amended and restated credit agreement, which has a maturity date of November 24, 2019, the Company has the option to increase the amount of the revolving line of credit by up to an additional $200.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions at the time of such increase.

13

Table of Contents

On August 12, 2015, Restoration Hardware, Inc. and Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc. entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the amended and restated credit agreement. The Amendment changes the amended and restated credit agreement definition of “Change of Control” (the occurrence of which triggers a default under the amended and restated credit agreement) so that changes in the composition of the board of directors due to actual or threatened proxy solicitations are treated in the same way as other changes in the composition of the board of directors.

As of August 1, 2015, the Company did not have any amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit. As of August 1, 2015, the Company had $516.9 million undrawn borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit. As of August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015, the Company had $13.2 million and $20.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to interest, at the borrowers’ option, at either the bank’s reference rate or LIBOR (or the Bank of America “BA” Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate, as such terms are defined in the credit agreement, for Canadian borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars or the United States Index Rate or LIBOR for Canadian borrowings denominated in United States dollars) plus an applicable margin rate, in each case.

The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on the ability to incur liens, make loans or other investments, incur additional debt, issue additional equity, merge or consolidate with or into another person, sell assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, or enter into transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations typical to credit agreements of this type and size. As of August 1, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement.

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Certain financial assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that it believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which would maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs of the valuation technique.

The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Pricing observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices for which fair value can be measured generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have less, or no, pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements

All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Assets measured at fair value were as follows (in thousands):

The Company invests excess cash primarily in investment-grade interest-bearing securities such as money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, municipal and government agency obligations and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government, all of which are subject to minimal credit and market risks. The Company estimates the fair value of its commercial paper and U.S. government agency bonds by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trade dates of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities, prepayment/default projections based on historical data; and other observable inputs.

There were no purchases, sales, issuances, or settlements related to recurring level 3 measurements during the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 or August 2, 2014. There were no transfers into or out of level 1 and level 2 during the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 or August 2, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Amounts reported as cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value. The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes (carrying value excludes the equity component of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes classified in stockholders’ equity) were as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of each of the 2019 Notes and 2020 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 the Company’s convertible notes, when available, the Company’s stock price and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to the Company (level 2).

As the Company’s debt obligations under the revolving line of credit are variable rate, there are no significant differences between the estimated fair value (level 2) and carrying value.

Non-Financial Assets

The Company did not record an impairment charge on long-lived assets during the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 or August 2, 2014.

NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 38.93% and 38.88% for the three months ended August 1, 2015, and August 2, 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate was 38.59% and 38.60% for the six months ended August 1, 2015, and August 2, 2014, respectively.

As of August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015, $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of the exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate if realized and are included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These amounts are primarily associated with foreign tax exposures that would, if realized, reduce the amount of net operating losses that would ultimately be utilized. As of August 1, 2015, the Company does not have any exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months.

NOTE 11—EARNINGS PER SHARE

The weighted-average shares used for net income per share is as follows:

The following number of options and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

NOTE 12—SHARE REPURCHASES

Certain options and awards granted under the Company’s equity plans contain a repurchase right, which may be exercised at the Company’s discretion in the event of the termination of an employee’s employment with the Company.

During the three and six months ended August 1, 2015, the Company repurchased 2,625 shares of common stock from a former employee pursuant to such repurchase right for fair value at a purchase price of $0.2 million. The repurchase was settled with the issuance of a promissory note bearing interest at 3%, paid annually, with principal due at the end of a 7-year term.

During the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, the Company repurchased 10,588 and 251,910 shares of common stock, respectively, from former employees pursuant to such repurchase right for fair value at a purchase price of $0.9 million and $16.6 million, respectively. The repurchases were settled with the issuance of promissory notes bearing interest at approximately 5%, paid annually, with principal due generally at the end of an 8-year term.

The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the notes payable for share repurchases was $19.5 million and $19.3 million as of August 1, 2015 and January 31, 2015, respectively, which is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 13—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company estimates the value of equity grants based upon an option-pricing model and recognizes this estimated value as compensation expense over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes expense associated with performance-based awards

16

Table of Contents

when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. Once it becomes probable that an award will vest, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the number of shares which are probable to vest multiplied by the fair value of the related shares measured at the grant date.

Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6.3 million and $4.5 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $11.6 million and $6.7 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively. No stock-based compensation cost has been capitalized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

2012 Stock Option Plan and 2012 Stock Incentive Plan

As of August 1, 2015, 6,925,446 options were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $54.20 per share and 5,210,786 options were vested with a weighted-average exercise price of $48.90 per share. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, options vested or expected to vest, and options exercisable as of August 1, 2015 was $327.3 million, $321.2 million, and $273.9 million, respectively. Stock options exercisable as of August 1, 2015 had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 7.54 years. As of August 1, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options was $39.7 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 3.88 years.

As of August 1, 2015, the Company had 819,362 restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards outstanding with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $70.88 per share. During the three months ended August 1, 2015, 79,582 restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $67.75 per share vested. During the six months ended August 1, 2015, 90,010 restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $65.55 per share vested. As of August 1, 2015, there was $42.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.74 years.

NOTE 14—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In February 2015, the Company purchased an aircraft for a total purchase price of $9.5 million in order to facilitate more efficient business travel by the Company’s management team in development of the Company’s business.

On March 27, 2015, Restoration Hardware, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the operator of the aircraft, entered into an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement (the “Time Sharing Agreement”) with Gary Friedman, our Chief Executive Officer. The Time Sharing Agreement governs any use of the aircraft by Mr. Friedman for personal trips and provides that Mr. Friedman will lease the aircraft and pay Restoration Hardware, Inc. an amount equal to the aggregate actual expenses of each personal use flight based on the variable costs of the flight, with the amount of such lease payments not to exceed the maximum payment level established under the Federal Aviation Administration rules. Mr. Friedman maintains a deposit with the Company, to be used towards payment of amounts due under the Time Sharing Agreement.

NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company had no material off balance sheet commitments as of August 1, 2015.

Contingencies

The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the ordinary course of its business. These disputes are increasing in number as the business expands and the Company grows larger. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. As a result, the outcome of matters in which the Company is involved could result in unexpected expenses and liability that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. In addition, any claims against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources.

The Company reviews the need for any loss contingency reserves and establishes reserves when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a matter would result in liability, and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Generally, in view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of those matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, it is not 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. As of August 1, 2015, the Company has recorded a liability for the estimated loss related to these

17

disputes. There is a possibility that additional losses may be incurred in excess of the amounts that the Company has accrued. However, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these current matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Hernandez v. Restoration Hardware

On October 21, 2008, Mike Hernandez, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, filed a class action in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego against Restoration Hardware, Inc. alleging principally that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards. On May 23, 2014, in response to a directive from the Court, the parties filed a joint statement as to the parties’ agreed-upon claims process for the class members as well as to other matters related to this proceeding. On September 5, 2014, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees, costs, and awards, and awarded $9.5 million in fees and costs to plaintiffs’ attorneys. The Court entered judgment on September 29, 2014 and, on November 21, 2014, a class member filed a notice of appeal from the judgment. As a result of the appeal, the judgment was stayed until January 10, 2015. The appeal remains pending but the judgment is enforceable. As a result of these developments, during fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $9.5 million charge related to this matter that was subsequently decreased to approximately $8 million. The decrease of approximately $1.5 million was based on a revision of estimated class member response. On March 16, 2015, the Company, through the third party claims administrator, began mailing the class action award to class members. The Company, through the third party claims administrator, paid approximately $2.4 million in cash awards to the class members and mailed 33% discount coupons, good for one year, on purchases up to $10,000, to class members that did not request the cash award. During a hearing on April 16, 2015, the Court provided additional guidance regarding the manner in which class members can use the 33% merchandise discount coupon. Specifically, the court ordered that the 33% coupons may be combined with the Company’s other promotional offers.

NOTE 16—SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company defines an operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). The Company has determined that the Chief Executive Officer is its CODM and there is one operating segment. Therefore, the Company reports as a single segment. This includes all sales channels accessed by the Company’s customers, including sales through catalogs, sales through the Company’s website and sales through the Company’s stores.

The Company classifies its sales into furniture and non-furniture product lines. Furniture includes both indoor and outdoor furniture. Non-furniture includes lighting, textiles, accessories and home décor. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recategorized as furniture certain products within its Bath and Contract categories, which were previously included in the non-furniture category. The Company has determined that such recategorization provides a more meaningful disclosure and is better aligned with the Company’s internal reporting. Such recategorizations are reflected in the table below.

Net revenues in each category were as follows (in thousands):

The Company is domiciled in the United States and operates stores in the United States and Canada. Revenues from Canadian operations, and the long-lived assets in Canada, are not material to the Company. Geographic revenues are determined based upon where service is rendered.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in the three or six months ended August 1, 2015 or August 2, 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and 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 2014 Form 10-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND MARKET DATA

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including statements related to our future plans to increase sales by transforming our real estate platform; how we intend to increase our market share; the key areas which we believe will increase operating margins; our plan to strategically expand our business into select countries outside of the United States and Canada over the next several years; our expectation that more than half of our new product introductions will occur in the second half of 2015, primarily with the launch of RH Modern and RH Teen; our expectation that fluctuations in our rate of revenue growth and financial performance will continue in future periods and that our performance metrics will remain variable; our expectation that the convertible note hedge transactions will reduce potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2019 Notes and 2020 Notes; our expectation that coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim could continue to impact our gross margins until their expiration in March 2016; and our expectations regarding working capital requirements and fluctuation of working capital needs, our inventory purchases in fiscal 2015, capital expenditures, and landlord contributions and other capital inflows related to our business including our real estate transformation and portfolio. 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,” “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.

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. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include those factors disclosed under the sections entitled Risk Factors in Part II of this quarterly report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 (“2014 Form 10-K”), and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report and in our 2014 Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary factors contained in this quarterly report and in our 2014 Form 10-K. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report in the context of these cautionary factors.

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. 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 as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Overview

We are a leading luxury retailer in the home furnishings marketplace. Our collections of timeless, updated classics and reproductions are presented consistently across our sales channels in sophisticated and unique lifestyle settings that we believe are on par with world-class interior designers. We offer dominant merchandise assortments across a growing number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, tableware and children’s furnishings. Our business is fully integrated across our multiple channels of distribution, consisting of our stores, Source Books and websites. We position our stores as showrooms for our brand, while our Source Books and websites act as virtual extensions of our stores. As of August 1, 2015, we operated a total of 67 retail galleries throughout the United States and Canada, consisting of 57 Legacy Galleries, 6 larger format Design Galleries, 1 next generation Design Gallery and 3 Baby & Child Galleries, as well as 15 outlet stores.

In order to drive growth across our business, we are focused on the following key strategies:

Table of Contents

In 2015, more than half of our new product introductions, whether within existing product categories or through creation of new product categories, will occur in the second half of fiscal 2015, primarily with the launch of RH Modern and RH Teen, whereas in prior years the majority of our new product introductions coincided with our Spring Source Book mailing. While our Spring 2015 Source Book was mailed several weeks earlier than last year, the amount of new product introductions this Spring was lower than last year. The timing and cadence of new product introductions is an important factor when comparing results during the quarters and year over year.

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. In response to some of our new business initiatives, we have recently experienced substantial increases in revenue and strong improvements in financial performance on a quarter by quarter comparison basis. The rate of growth in our revenue and the extent of improvements in our financial performance have changed from quarter to quarter based upon a range of business factors. We expect fluctuations in our rate of revenue growth and in our financial performance will continue in future periods as we continue to pursue a large number of new business initiatives. 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.

In June 2015, we issued in a private offering $250 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, in July 2015, we issued an additional $50 million principal amount pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of our June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the debt, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions that cover the number of shares of our common stock that are underlying the 2020 Notes, for which we paid an aggregate amount of $68.3 million. In addition, we sold warrants and received aggregate proceeds of $30.4 million from the sale of the warrants. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering, after taking into consideration the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions, proceeds from the warrants sold, as well as deducting discounts upon original issuance and offering costs of $6.1 million, were $256.0 million. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth our consolidated statements of income as a percentage of total net revenues:

We operate a fully integrated distribution model through our stores, catalogs and websites. The following table shows a summary of our stores net revenues, which include all sales for orders placed in retail stores as well as sales through outlet stores, and our direct net revenues, which include sales through our catalogs and websites.

Three Months Ended August 1, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended August 2, 2014

Net revenues

Net revenues increased $73.1 million, or 16.9%, to $506.9 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $433.8 million in the three months ended August 2, 2014. Comparable brand revenue growth was 16% for the three months ended August 1, 2015. We had 67 and 68 retail stores open at August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively. Stores net revenues increased $46.4 million, or 20.9%, to $268.4 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $222.0 million in the three months ended August 2, 2014. Direct net revenues increased $26.7 million, or 12.6%, to $238.5 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $211.8 million in the three months ended August 2, 2014. The increase in net revenues was due to a combination of the continued strong sales of our existing product assortment, as well as the introduction of new products and the expansion of existing product assortment. We believe our brand awareness has increased and has allowed us to further disrupt the highly fragmented home furnishings landscape and achieve market share gains.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $26.4 million, or 15.7%, to $194.3 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 from $167.9 million in the three months ended August 2, 2014. As a percentage of net revenues, gross margin decreased 0.4% to 38.3% of net revenues in the three months ended August 1, 2015 from 38.7% of net revenues in the three months ended August 2, 2014.

Gross profit for the three months ended August 1, 2015 was negatively impacted by $4.8 million related to the estimated cumulative impact of coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim alleging that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards. We expect that these coupon redemptions could continue to impact our gross margins until their expiration in March 2016. Refer to Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Excluding the impact of the coupons redeemed in connection with the legal claim mentioned above, the increase in gross margin would have been 0.6% due primarily to improvements in merchandise margins and other product related costs, as well as leverage of our fixed retail occupancy costs. These improvements were partially offset by higher shipping costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $18.8 million, or 15.9%, to $137.8 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $119.0 million in the three months ended August 2, 2014.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 1, 2015 included $0.6 million related to the estimated cumulative impact of coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim alleging that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards.

Excluding the impact of coupons redeemed in connection with the legal claim mentioned above, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $18.2 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 compared to the three months ended August 2, 2014 was primarily related to an increase in employment and employment related costs of $9.8 million due to company growth and expansion, an increase in advertising and marketing costs, an increase in corporate occupancy costs associated with our corporate office expansion and upgraded technology systems, as well as an increase in credit card fees due to increased revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 27.1% and 27.4% of net revenues for the three months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively, excluding the impact of coupons redeemed in connection with the legal claim mentioned above. The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by leverage in our employment and employment related costs, advertising and marketing costs, and general and administrative expenses including professional fees.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $7.4 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 and consisted of interest of $5.0 million non-cash amortization of the convertible senior notes debt discount, $1.6 million related to accounting for build-to-suit lease transactions, amortization of debt issuance costs and deferred financing fees of $0.5 million, interest incurred under our revolving line of credit of $0.4 million, which includes standby and letter of credit interest, interest of $0.3 million for notes payable for share repurchases and interest related to capital lease agreements of $0.3 million. In addition, we capitalized interest expense of $0.6 million for capital projects during the three months ended August 1, 2015.

Interest expense was $4.3 million in the three months ended August 2, 2014 and consisted of $1.6 million non-cash amortization of the convertible senior notes debt discount, interest of $1.4 million related to accounting for build-to-suit lease transactions, interest incurred under our revolving line of credit of $0.8 million, which includes standby and letter of credit interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and deferred financing fees of $0.3 million and interest of $0.2 million for notes payable for share repurchases.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $19.1 million in the three months ended August 1, 2015 compared $17.3 million in the three months ended August 2, 2014. Our effective tax rate was 38.93% in the three months ended August 1, 2015 compared to 38.88% in the three months ended August 2, 2014.

Six Months Ended August 1, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended August 2, 2014

Net revenues

Net revenues increased $129.4 million, or 16.2%, to $929.4 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $800.0 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014. Comparable brand revenue growth was 15% for the six months ended August 1, 2015. We had 67 and 68 retail stores open at August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively. Stores net revenues increased $71.4 million, or 17.3%, to $483.2 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $411.8 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014. Direct net revenues increased $58.0 million, or 14.9%, to $446.2 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $388.2 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014. The increase in net revenues was due to a combination of the continued strong sales of our existing product assortment, as well as the introduction of new products and the expansion of existing product assortment. We believe our brand awareness has increased and has allowed us to further disrupt the highly fragmented home furnishings landscape and achieve market share gains.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $45.4 million, or 15.5%, to $337.7 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 from $292.3 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014. As a percentage of net revenues, gross margin decreased 0.2% to 36.3% of net revenues in the six months ended August 1, 2015 from 36.5% of net revenues in the six months ended August 2, 2014.

Gross profit for the six months ended August 1, 2015 was negatively impacted by $6.2 million related to the estimated cumulative impact of coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim alleging that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards. We expect that these coupon redemptions could continue to impact our gross margins until their expiration in March 2016. Refer to Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Excluding the impact of the coupons redeemed in connection with the legal claim mentioned above, the increase in gross margin would have been 0.5% due primarily to improvements in merchandise margins and other product related costs, as well as leverage of our fixed retail occupancy costs. These improvements were partially offset by higher shipping costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $25.7 million, or 10.8%, to $264.2 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to $238.5 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 1, 2015 included $0.8 million related to the estimated cumulative impact of coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim alleging that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 2, 2014 included a $9.2 million charge incurred in connection with the legal claim.

Excluding the impact of coupons redeemed and the charge incurred in connection with the legal claim mentioned above, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $34.1 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to the six months ended August 2, 2014 was primarily related to an increase in employment and employment related costs of $19.3 million due to company growth and expansion, an increase in advertising and marketing costs of $7.8 million, an increase in corporate occupancy costs associated with our corporate office expansion and upgraded technology systems, as well as an increase in credit card fees due to increased revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 28.3% and 28.6% of net revenues for the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, respectively, excluding the impact of coupons redeemed and the charge incurred in connection with the legal claim mentioned above. The improvement in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by leverage in our general and administrative expenses including professional fees and other corporate costs. These improvements were partially offset by increased advertising and marketing costs.

Interest expense was $13.1 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 and consisted of interest of $8.3 million non-cash amortization of the convertible senior notes debt discount, $3.4 million related to accounting for build-to-suit lease transactions, amortization of debt issuance costs and deferred financing fees of $0.9 million, interest incurred under our revolving line of credit of $0.8 million, which includes standby and letter of credit interest, interest of $0.5 million for notes payable for share repurchases and interest related to capital lease agreements of $0.5 million. In addition, we capitalized interest expense of $1.1 million for capital projects during the six months ended August 1, 2015.

Interest expense was $6.4 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014 and consisted of interest of $2.2 million related to accounting for build-to-suit lease transactions, interest incurred under our revolving line of credit of $1.8 million, which includes standby and letter of credit interest, $1.6 million non-cash amortization of the convertible senior notes debt discount, amortization of debt issuance costs and deferred financing fees of $0.4 million and interest of $0.4 million for notes payable for share repurchases.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $23.3 million in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared $18.3 million in the six months ended August 2, 2014. Our effective tax rate was 38.59% in the six months ended August 1, 2015 compared to 38.60% in the six months ended August 2, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our business relies on cash flows from operations, net cash proceeds from the issuance of the convertible senior notes, as well as the revolving line of credit as our primary sources of liquidity. Our primary cash needs are for merchandise inventories, payroll, Source Books and other catalogs, store rent, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and updating existing stores, as well as infrastructure and information technology. The most significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, merchandise inventories, accounts payable and other current liabilities. Our working capital varies as a result of increases in our inventory levels and costs related to our Source Books. We believe that cash expected to be generated from operations, net cash proceeds from the issuance of the convertible senior notes and borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 – 24 months.

We expect that our working capital needs may fluctuate based on the timing of new product introductions. Specifically, the timing of our inventory purchases in fiscal 2015 may not be consistent with prior fiscal years as we are introducing a significant portion of our new products in the Fall of 2015 whereas in prior years the majority of our new product introductions coincided with our Spring Source Book mailing.

Our investments in capital expenditures for the six months ended August 1, 2015 totaled $56.1 million. We expect to have gross capital expenditures of approximately $140 million to $160 million in fiscal 2015, primarily related to our efforts to continue our growth and expansion, including construction of our new galleries and infrastructure investments. As an offset to gross capital expenditures in fiscal 2015, we anticipate receiving approximately $10 million in landlord contributions and other capital inflows related to our real estate transformation and portfolio. These anticipated landlord contributions primarily relate to profit participation arrangements for our distribution center facilities. The majority of the current lease arrangements for our new galleries require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs directly to third parties, rather than through traditional construction allowances and accordingly, we do not expect to receive significant contributions directly from our landlords related to the building of our larger format retail galleries in fiscal 2015.

Cash Flow Analysis

A summary of operating, investing, and financing activities is shown in the following table:

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

For the six months ended August 1, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $13.6 million and consisted of net income of $37.1 million and non-cash items of $38.2 million, partially offset by an increase in uses of working capital and other activities of $61.7 million. Working capital and other activities consisted primarily of increases in inventory of $148.3 million, primarily due to 2015 Outdoor and Spring collections, partially offset by increases in accrued liabilities and accounts payable of $47.7 million, an increase in other current liabilities of $16.0 million primarily due to an increase in federal and state tax liabilities, as well as increases in deferred revenue and customer deposits of $12.8 million due to the timing of shipments made at period end.

For the six months ended August 2, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $29.7 million and consisted of net income of $29.0 million and non-cash items of $17.1 million, offset by an increase in working capital and other activities of $75.9 million. Working capital and other activities consisted primarily of increases in inventory of $93.2 million in anticipation of the 2014 Fall collection and outdoor selling season, increases in prepaid expense and other assets of $22.4 million primarily due to an increase in costs associated with the Spring 2014 Source Books and decreases in other current liabilities of $12.5 million related to decreases in federal and state tax payables due to payments made during the period. These uses of cash from working capital components were partially offset by increases in accrued liabilities and accounts payable of $35.6 million and increases in deferred revenue and customers deposits of $17.6 million due to the timing of shipments made at fiscal quarter end and increased special orders.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Investing activities consist primarily of investments in capital expenditures related to new store openings and improvements and in supply chain and systems infrastructure, as well as activities associated with investing in available-for-sale securities.

For the six months ended August 1, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $125.9 million primarily as a result of $56.1 million in investments in new and existing galleries, renovations to our corporate headquarters, supply chain, information technology and systems infrastructure, as well as a corporate aircraft. In addition, we made investments in available-for-sale securities of $104.6 million, partially offset by maturities of such investments of $35.0 million.

For the six months ended August 2, 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $39.1 million primarily as a result of investments in new and existing galleries, information technology and systems infrastructure, and supply chain, as well as renovations to our corporate headquarters.

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings related to the convertible senior notes offering, borrowings and repayments related to the revolving line of credit and capital contributions.

For the six months ended August 1, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $268.3 million primarily due to the $300 million convertible senior notes issued in June 2015, which provided net proceeds of $256.0 million after taking into consideration the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, as well as discounts upon original issuance and offering costs. Net proceeds and excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options provided $11.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

For the six months ended August 2, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $236.9 million primarily due to the $350 million convertible senior notes issued in June 2014, which provided net proceeds of $311.7 million after taking into consideration the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, as well as discounts upon original issuance and debt issuance costs. Excess tax benefits and net proceeds from the exercise of stock options provided $7.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The cash provided by these financing activities was partially offset by net repayments on the revolving line of credit of $85.4 million.

Non-Cash Transactions

Non-cash transactions consists of non-cash additions of property and equipment and the issuance of notes payable related to share repurchases from former employees.

Build-to-Suit Lease Transactions

The non-cash additions of property and equipment from build-to-suit lease transactions are the result of the accounting requirements of ASC 840—Leases for those construction projects in which we are the “deemed owner” of the construction project given the extent to which we are involved in constructing the leased asset. If we are the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes, upon commencement of the construction project, we are required to capitalize contributions by the landlord toward construction as property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets. The contributions by the landlord toward construction, including the building, existing site improvements at construction commencement and any amounts paid by the landlord to those responsible for construction, are included as property and equipment additions due to build-to-suit lease transactions within the non-cash section of our consolidated statements of cash flows.

However, o ver the lease term, these non-cash additions to property and equipment from build-to-suit lease transactions do not impact our cash outflows or net income within the consolidated statements of income.

Convertible Senior Notes

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

In June 2015, we issued in a private offering $250 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, in July 2015, we issued an additional $50 million principal amount pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of our June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2020 Notes will mature on July 15, 2020, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2020 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2020 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of our failure to perform certain of our obligations under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2020 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2020 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed by our primary operating subsidiary, Restoration Hardware, Inc., as Guarantor. The guarantee is the unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and is subordinated to the Guarantor’s obligations from time to time with respect to its credit agreement and ranks equal in right of payment with respect to Guarantor’s other obligations.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2020 Notes is 8.4656 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $118.13 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2020 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2020, the 2020 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2015, 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 fiscal 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 2020 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. As of August 1, 2015, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2020 Notes are not convertible as of August 1, 2015. On and after March 15, 2020, 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 2020 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2020 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.

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 the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we separated the 2020 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability

component of the 2020 Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.47% over the term of the 2020 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2020 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2020 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $3.8 million and third party offering costs of $2.3 million. Discounts were recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2020 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Third party offering costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as an asset and are presented in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2020 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2020 Notes in June 2015 and the exercise in full of the overallotment option in July 2015, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 5.1 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $118.13 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $68.3 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 5.1 million shares of our common stock at a price of $189.00 per share. We received $30.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2020 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $189.00 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We recorded a deferred tax liability of $32.8 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2020 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $26.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The current portion of the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in current deferred tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The non-current portion of the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in non-current deferred tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019

In June 2014, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) in a private offering. The 2019 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2019 Notes will mature on June 15, 2019, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2019 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2019 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of our failure to perform certain of our obligations under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. The 2019 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2019 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2019 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2019 Notes is 8.6143 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $116.09 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change,” we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2019 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2019, the 2019 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2014, 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 fiscal 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 2019 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. On and after March 15, 2019, 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 2019 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2019 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.

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 the issuance of the 2019 Notes, we separated the 2019 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2019 Notes. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 4.51% over the term of the 2019 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2019 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Notes were comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers of $4.4 million and third party offering costs of $1.0 million. Discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers attributable to the liability component were recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2019 balance on condensed the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Third party offering costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as an asset and are presented in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2019 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $116.09 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $73.3 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at a price of $171.98 per share. We received $40.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual dilution from the conversion of the 2019 Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price from $116.09 per share to $171.98 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We recorded a deferred tax liability of $27.5 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2019 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $28.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The current portion of the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in current deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The non-current portion of the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in non-current deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revolving Line of Credit

In August 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc., along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into a credit agreement (the “prior credit agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. On November 24, 2014, the existing credit agreement was amended and restated (the “amended and restated credit agreement”) to, among other things, increase the existing revolving line of credit by $182.5 million and eliminate the $15.0 million term loan facility under the existing credit agreement. Under the amended and restated credit agreement, we have the option to increase the amount of the revolving line of credit by up to an additional $200.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions at the time of such increase. As a result of the amended and restated credit agreement, unamortized deferred financing fees of $0.2 million related to the previous facility were expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and $0.9 million related to the previous facility will be amortized over the life of the new revolving line of credit, which has a maturity date of November 24, 2019.

On August 12, 2015, Restoration Hardware, Inc. and Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc. entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the amended and restated credit agreement. The Amendment changes the amended and restated credit agreement definition of “Change of Control” (the occurrence of which triggers a default under the amended and restated credit agreement) so that changes in the composition of the board of directors due to actual or threatened proxy solicitations are treated in the same way as other changes in the composition of the board of directors.

The availability of credit at any given time under the amended and restated credit agreement is limited by reference to a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors, including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable. As a result of the borrowing base formula, the 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). All obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement are secured by substantially all of Restoration Hardware, Inc.’s assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, intangible assets, property, equipment, goods and fixtures.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to interest, at the borrowers’ option, at either the bank’s reference rate or LIBOR (or the BA Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate, as such terms are defined in the amended and restated credit agreement, for Canadian borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars or the United States Index Rate or LIBOR for Canadian borrowings denominated in United States dollars) plus an applicable margin rate, in each case.

The amended and restated credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on the ability to grant liens, make loans or other investments, incur additional debt, issue additional equity, merge or consolidate with or into another person, sell assets, pay dividends or make other distributions or enter into transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations typical to credit agreements of this type and size.

The amended and restated credit agreement does not contain any significant financial or coverage ratio covenants unless the domestic availability under the revolving line of credit is less than the greater of (i) $20.0 million and (ii) 10% of the lesser of (A) the aggregate domestic commitments under the amended and restated credit agreement and (B) the domestic borrowing base. If the availability under the amended and restated credit agreement is less than the foregoing amount, then Restoration Hardware, Inc. is required to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least one to one. Such ratio was approximately the ratio on the last day of each month on a trailing twelve-month basis of (a) (i) consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) minus (ii) capital expenditures, minus (iii) the income taxes paid in cash to (b) the sum of (i) debt service charges plus (ii) certain dividends and distributions paid. As of August 1, 2015, Restoration Hardware, Inc. was in compliance with all covenants of the amended and restated credit agreement, and if the availability under the amended and restated credit agreement was less than the amount described above, Restoration Hardware, Inc. would have been in compliance with the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio described in the previous sentence.

The amended and restated credit agreement requires a daily sweep of cash to prepay the loans under the agreement while (i) an event of default exists or (ii) the availability under the revolving line of credit for extensions of credit is less than the greater of (A) $20.0 million and (B) 10% of the lesser of the domestic commitments and the domestic borrowing base.

On June 27, 2014, we paid off the principal balance and related interest under the prior credit agreement of $154.8 million using proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes. As of August 1, 2015, Restoration Hardware, Inc. had no amounts outstanding under the amended and restated credit agreement. As of August 1, 2015, Restoration Hardware, Inc. had $516.9 million undrawn borrowing availability under the amended and restated credit agreement and had $13.2 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our 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. Management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates, and judgments on an on-going basis. Management bases its 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 the consolidated financial statements.

Management evaluated the development and selection of its critical accounting policies and estimates and believes that the following 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:

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 2014 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates listed in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks

Interest Rate Risk

Our investments include cash, cash equivalents and both short-term and long-term investments including investment-grade interest-bearing securities such as money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, municipal and government agency obligations and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our investments are exposed to market risk due to a fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair market value of our investments. We believe that our exposure to interest rate risk is not significant and a 1% movement in market interest rates would not have a significant impact on the total value of our portfolio. We actively monitor changes in interest rates.

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under our revolving line of credit which bears interest at variable rates. At August 1, 2015, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit. As of August 1, 2015, we had $516.9 million undrawn borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit and had $13.2 million in outstanding letters of credit. We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging activity and we have no intention to do so in the foreseeable future. Based on the average interest rate on the revolving line of credit during the three months ended August 1, 2015, and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding, we do not believe that a 10% change in the interest rate would have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

As of August 1, 2015, we had $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 outstanding (the “2019 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.

As of August 1, 2015, we had $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 outstanding (the “2020 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.

Market Price Sensitive Instruments

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019

In connection with the issuance of the 2019 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions relate to, collectively, 3.0 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2019 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2019 Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2019 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2019 Notes.

We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same group of counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $171.98 per share. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions relate to, collectively, 5.1 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2020 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2020 Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2020 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2020 Notes.

We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same group of counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $189.00 per share. Refer to Note 7—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Inflation

Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-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 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 include controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, 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

During the first six months of fiscal 2015, we implemented new accounting systems, to enhance our internal control over financial reporting. As we migrated to the new environment, we mapped our key controls to the applicable controls within the new systems and tested transition controls prior to the migration date of those controls. We continue to maintain and evaluate controls over the flow of information to and from the new accounting systems. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we and/or our management are involved in litigation, claims and other proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, including purported 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 including the collection of zip code or other information from customers. In addition, from time to time, we are subject to product liability and personal injury claims for the products that we sell and the stores 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 management 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, refer to Note 15—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 the risks that affect our business, refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 (“2014 Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 2, 2015 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”).

The risks described herein and in our 2014 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. 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. We have identified additional material changes to our risk factors set forth below under “Risks Related to Our Convertible Notes Financings.”

Risks Relating to Our Convertible Notes Financings

We expect that our common stock may experience increased trading volatility in connection with our Convertible Notes Financings.

In June 2015, we issued $250 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, on July 2, 2015, we issued an additional $50 million pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). In June 2014, we issued $350 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes” and, together with the 2020 Notes, the “Notes”). In connection with each offering of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties (the “Bond Hedge”) and warrant transactions (the “Warrants” and together with the Notes and the Bond Hedge, the “Convertible Notes Financings”) with the same counterparties (the “hedge counterparties”).

We have been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedge positions with respect to the Bond Hedge and Warrants, the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates would likely purchase shares of our common stock or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes, including with certain investors in the Notes. These hedging activities could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of our common stock or the Notes.

In addition, we expect that many investors in, including future purchasers of, the Notes may employ, or seek to employ, a convertible arbitrage strategy with respect to the Notes. Investors would typically implement such a strategy by selling short the common stock underlying the Notes and dynamically adjusting their short position while continuing to hold the Notes. Investors may also implement this type of strategy by entering into swaps on our common stock in lieu of or in addition to short selling the common stock.

34

Table of Contents

Further, investors in the Notes may periodically modify their arbitrage strategies with respect to the Notes or modify their hedge positions with respect to the Notes from time to time. The hedge counterparties and/or their respective affiliates also may periodically modify their hedge positions from time to time (and are likely to do so during the conversion period relating to any conversion of the Notes or following any repurchase of Notes by us on any fundamental repurchase date or otherwise). Such modifications may be implemented by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock, and/or by purchasing or selling shares of our common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions and/or open market transactions. The effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of our common stock or the trading prices of the Notes (which could affect a noteholder’s ability to convert the Notes or the amount and value of the consideration received upon conversion of the Notes) will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities, however, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

It is not possible to predict the effect that these hedging or arbitrage strategies adopted by holders of the Notes or counterparties to the Bond Hedge and Warrants will have on the market price of our common stock. For example, the SEC and other regulatory and self-regulatory authorities have implemented various rules and taken certain actions, and may in the future adopt additional rules and take other actions, that may impact those engaging in short selling activity involving equity securities (including our common stock). Such rules and actions include Rule 201 of SEC Regulation SHO, the adoption by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. of a “Limit Up-Limit Down” program, the imposition of market-wide circuit breakers that halt trading of securities for certain periods following specific market declines, and the implementation of certain regulatory reforms required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Any changes in government regulations or other factors that affect the manner in which third parties can engage in hedging strategies, including entering into short sales or swaps on our common stock, could adversely affect the trading prices and the liquidity of the Notes and/or our common stock.

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any potential effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, we do not make any representation that the counterparties to those transactions will engage in these transactions or activities or that these transactions and activities, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice; the counterparties or their affiliates may choose to engage in, or discontinue engaging in, any of these transactions or activities with or without notice at any time, and their decisions will be in their sole discretion and not within our control.

In addition, our common stock has in the past experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. We cannot predict whether the market price of our common stock will rise or fall. The market price of our common stock will be influenced by a number of factors, including general market conditions, variations in our operating results, earnings per share, cash flows, deferred revenue, other financial and non-financial metrics and other factors described in greater detail elsewhere in this section, many of which are beyond our control.

We are subject to risk with respect to the Bond Hedge and Warrants.

Taken together, the Bond Hedge and Warrants are intended, but not guaranteed, to offset any actual earnings dilution that could occur upon delivery of shares of common stock to satisfy to our conversion obligation under the Notes. For the 2020 Notes, the corresponding Bond Hedge and Warrants are intended to limit the earnings dilution that our stockholders would experience until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $189.00 per share, the strike price of the 202 Notes warrant transactions, which represented a 100% premium over the closing price of our common stock at the time we entered into the Bond Hedge and Warrants related to the 2020 Notes. For the 2019 Notes, the corresponding Bond Hedge and Warrants are intended to limit the earnings dilution that our stockholders would experience until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $171.98 per share, the strike price of the 2019 Notes warrant transactions, which represented a 100% premium over the closing price of our common stock at the time we entered into the Bond Hedge and Warrants related to the 2019 Notes. However, these transactions are complex, and there can be no assurance that they will operate as planned.

For example, the hedge counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that these hedge counterparties may default under the Bond Hedge. Our exposure to the credit risk of the hedge counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. If one or more of the hedge counterparties to one or more of our Bond Hedges becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at the time under those transactions. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated to the increase in our stock price and in the volatility of our stock. In addition, upon a default by one of the hedge counterparties, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and earnings dilution with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of any of the hedge counterparties.

The terms of the Bond Hedge and Warrants may be subject to adjustment, modification or, in some cases, renegotiation in the event of certain corporate and other transactions. The Bond Hedge and Warrants may not operate as we had originally intended in the event that we are required to adjust the terms of such instruments as a result of transactions in the future or in the event of other unanticipated developments that may adversely affect the functioning of the Bond Hedge or Warrants.

In the event that the price of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrants, exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants will have a dilutive effect on the our earnings per share.

The claims of holders of the Notes are structurally subordinated to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries other than, for the 2020 Notes, Restoration Hardware, Inc. to the extent of the guarantee; our ability to repay our debt, including the Notes, depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to make distributions to us.

Our ability to service our indebtedness, including the Notes, may be substantially dependent on the earnings and the distribution of funds (whether by dividend, distribution or loan) from our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and substantially all of our operations is conducted through our subsidiaries.

None of our subsidiaries has guaranteed or otherwise become obligated under the 2020 Notes, other than the Company’s primary operating subsidiary, Restoration Hardware, Inc. (the “Guarantor”), pursuant to the guarantee under the indenture for the 2020 Notes. The guarantee is the unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and is subordinated to the Guarantor’s obligations from time to time with respect to the credit agreement governing the Restoration Hardware, Inc. revolving line of credit and ranks equal in right of payment with respect to Guarantor’s other obligations. Our right to receive assets from any of our other subsidiaries upon its liquidation or reorganization, and the right of holders of the 2020 Notes to participate in those assets, is structurally subordinated to any and all debt and other obligations that such subsidiary may incur (including trade payables). In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or of a similar proceeding with respect to any of our other subsidiaries, we, as a common equity owner of such subsidiary, and therefore the holders of the 2020 Notes, rank behind such subsidiary’s creditors, including such subsidiary’s trade creditors. Even if we were a creditor of one of such subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of that subsidiary and any indebtedness of that subsidiary senior to that held by us.

The right of holders of the 2020 Notes to receive payment from the Guarantor is limited by the terms of the guarantee under the indenture, which is expressly subordinated to the obligations of the Guarantor with respect to the credit agreement. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization of or a similar proceeding with respect to the Guarantor, the holders of the 2020 Notes rank behind the obligations under the Guarantor’s credit agreement, rank equal in right of payment to the Guarantor’s trade creditors and are subordinate to any security interest in the assets of the Guarantor that secure any other obligations of the Guarantor.

None of our subsidiaries has guaranteed or otherwise become obligated under the 2019 Notes. Our right to receive assets from any one of our subsidiaries upon its liquidation or reorganization, and the right of holders of the 2019 Notes to participate in those assets, is structurally subordinated to any and all debt and other obligations that such subsidiary may incur (including trade payables). In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or of a similar proceeding with respect to any of our subsidiaries, we, as a common equity owner of such subsidiary, and therefore the holders of the 2019 Notes, rank behind such subsidiary’s creditors, including such subsidiary’s trade creditors. Even if we were a creditor of one of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of that subsidiary and any indebtedness of that subsidiary senior to that held by us.

None of our subsidiaries is obligated to make funds available to us for payment on the Notes. We can provide no assurances that the agreements governing the existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries will permit our subsidiaries to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans to fund payments on the Notes when due. In particular, the current credit agreement of our primary operating subsidiary, Restoration Hardware, Inc., restricts the ability of such subsidiary to make restricted payments to the holding company that would enable us to make payments with respect to the Notes unless certain minimum fixed charge coverage ratio or availability requirements are met and a default under the credit agreement would not otherwise occur as a result of the payment. This minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement entails a minimum 1.1:1 ratio of (a) earnings, minus capital expenditures, minus taxes, to (b) debt service payments, plus all dividends/distributions made to Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. or any other non-borrower/guarantor of the credit agreement, plus debt prepayments. Although Restoration Hardware, Inc. currently meets these requirements under the credit agreement for purposes of making restricted payments to us to fund our payments with respect to the Notes, there can be no assurance that it will continue to meet these requirements in the future. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions or loans to us by our subsidiaries could be subject to restrictions on dividends or repatriation of earnings under applicable local law and monetary transfer restrictions in the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate.

The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the Notes, could have a material effect on our reported financial results.

Table of Contents

In May 2008, the FASB, issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1—Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), which has subsequently been codified as ASC 470-20—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”). Under ASC 470-20, an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of the convertible debt instruments (such as the Notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for the Notes is that the equity component is required to be included in the additional paid-in capital section of stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet at the issuance date and the value of the equity component is treated as debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the Notes. As a result, we are required to record a greater amount of non-cash interest expense in current periods presented as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the Notes to their face amount over the term of the Notes. We will report lower net income in our financial results because ASC 470-20 will require interest to include the amortization of the debt discount, which could adversely affect our future financial results, the trading price of our common stock and the trading prices of the Notes.

The settlement feature of the Notes may have adverse consequences.

The settlement feature of the Notes may:

Upon conversion of the Notes, investors in the Notes will, at our election, receive shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, based upon the volume weighted average prices of our common stock for each of the 45 trading days during the applicable cash settlement averaging period. This period means, for Notes with a conversion date occurring on or after the 50th scheduled trading day before the maturity date, the 45 consecutive trading-day period beginning on, and including, the 47th scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date (or, if such scheduled trading day is not a trading day, the immediately following trading day), and in all other instances, the 45 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the third trading day immediately following the related conversion date. Accordingly, if the price of our common stock decreases during this period, the amount and/or value of consideration investors in the Notes receive will be adversely affected. Upon conversion of the Notes, we expect to settle the Notes with a combination of cash and shares of common stock with a minimum cash payment of $1,000 per Note. Furthermore, because we may settle all or a portion of our conversion obligation in cash, the conversion of Notes may significantly reduce our liquidity.

We may issue additional shares of our common stock or instruments convertible into shares of our common stock, including in connection with the conversion of the Notes, and thereby materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the trading prices of the Notes.

We are not restricted from issuing additional shares of our common stock or other instruments convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of our common stock during the life of each of the Notes. If we issue additional shares of our common stock or instruments convertible into shares of our common stock, it may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and, in turn, the trading prices of the Notes. In addition, the conversion of some or all of the Notes may dilute the ownership interests of existing holders of our common stock, and any sales in the public market of any shares of our common stock issuable upon such conversion of the Notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the anticipated conversion of the Notes could depress the market price of our common stock.

Holders may not be able to convert their 2020 Notes prior to March 15, 2020 and their 2019 Notes prior to March 15, 2019, and the trading price of the Notes could be less than the value of the amount of cash and the number of shares of our common stock, if any, into which such Notes could otherwise be converted.

Prior to March 15, 2020 for the 2020 Notes and March 15, 2019 for the 2019 Notes, a holder may convert a note only if one or more specified conditions are met. If such conditions are not met, holders will not be able to convert their 2020 Notes until March 15, 2020 or their 2019 Notes until March 15, 2019, and may not be able to receive the amount of cash and the value of the number of shares of our common stock, if any, into which such Notes would otherwise be convertible at such time. In addition, for these and other reasons, the trading prices of the Notes could be substantially less than the value of the amount of cash and the number of shares of our common stock, if any, into which such Notes would otherwise be convertible.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to pay the amount of cash due upon conversion of the Notes or the fundamental change purchase price due when a holder submits its Notes for purchase upon the occurrence of a fundamental change.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, holders may require us to purchase, for cash, all or a portion of their Notes. In addition, if a holder converts its Notes, we will generally pay such holder an amount of cash before delivering to such holder any shares of our common stock.

37

Table of Contents

There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient financial resources, or will be able to arrange financing, to pay the fundamental change purchase price if holders submit their Notes for purchase by us upon the occurrence of a fundamental change or to pay the amount of cash due if holders surrender their Notes for conversion. In addition, agreements governing any debt may restrict our ability to make each of the required cash payments even if we have sufficient funds to make them. Furthermore, our ability to purchase the Notes or to pay cash upon the conversion of the Notes may be limited by law or regulatory authority. In addition, if we fail to purchase the Notes, to pay special interest, if any, due on the Notes, or to pay the amount of cash due upon conversion, we will be in default under the indenture for such Notes, which in turn may result in the acceleration of other indebtedness we may then have. If the repayment of the other indebtedness were to be accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds to repay that indebtedness and to purchase the Notes or to pay the amount of cash due upon conversion.

The fundamental change provisions of the Notes and the terms of the Bond Hedge and Warrants may delay or hinder an otherwise beneficial takeover attempt of us.

The fundamental change purchase rights allow holders of Notes to require us to purchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change. The provisions of the indenture governing the Notes requiring an increase to the conversion rate for conversions in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, including certain corporate transactions such as a change in control, may result in a change in the value of the Notes. Additionally, upon certain change of control transactions, the offsetting Bond Hedge and Warrants that we entered into at the time we issued the Notes may be exercised and/or terminated early. As a result of these provisions, we may be required to make payments to, or renegotiate terms with, holders of the Notes and/or the hedge counterparties.

These features of the Notes and the Bond Hedge and Warrants, including the financial implications of any renegotiation of the above-mentioned provisions, could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by, or beneficial to, our stockholders, and may result in the acquisition of us being on terms less favorable to our stockholders than it would otherwise be, or could require us to pay a portion of the consideration available in such a transaction to holders of the Notes or Warrants or the counterparties to the Bond Hedge.

Our management has broad discretion over the use of the proceeds to us from the Convertible Notes Financings and might not apply the proceeds of the Convertible Notes Financings in ways that yield significant returns.

Our management has broad discretion to use the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Financings. Management used a portion of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Financings for the cost of the Bond Hedge for each series of Notes, after such cost was offset by the proceeds of Warrants, and management used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2019 Notes to repay a portion of the outstanding amount under the Restoration Hardware, Inc. revolving line of credit and term loan. The remaining proceeds from each offering of Notes are available to management to use for general corporate purposes, including to fund expansion of our business and the pursuit of additional growth opportunities. However, management has not allocated the remaining net proceeds for any specific purposes. Our management might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of the remaining net proceeds.

Repurchases of Common Stock during the Three Months Ended August 1, 2015

During the three months ended August 1, 2015, we repurchased the following shares of our common stock:
