NOTE 1—THE COMPANY

Nature of Business

RH, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” or the “Company”), is a luxury home furnishings retailer that offers a growing number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, and child and teen furnishings. These products are sold through our stores, catalogs and websites.

As of October 31, 2020, we operated a total of 68 RH Galleries and 38 RH outlet stores in 31 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, as well as 14 Waterworks showrooms throughout the United States and in the U.K., and had sourcing operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from our records and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our financial position as of October 31, 2020, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019. Our current fiscal year, which consists of 52 weeks, ends on January 30, 2021 (“fiscal 2020”).

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

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We have assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in context of the unknown future impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. The accounting estimates and other matters we have assessed include, but were not limited to, sales return reserve, inventory reserve, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets. Our current assessment of these estimates are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of these estimates, including our expectations at the time regarding the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, as well as other factors, could materially and adversely impact our condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019 presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future time periods. Our business, like the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to uncertainty surrounding the financial impact of the novel coronavirus disease as discussed in Recent Developments—COVID-19 below.

Recent Developments—COVID-19

The initial wave of the COVID-19 outbreak starting in March 2020 caused disruption to our business operations as we temporarily closed all of our retail locations on March 17, 2020. While our retail locations were substantially closed at the end of the first fiscal quarter on May 2, 2020, during the second fiscal quarter we had reopened substantially all of our retail locations. As of the end of the third fiscal quarter on October 31, 2020 we had reopened all of our Galleries and Outlets, and 8 out of 10 of our restaurants. Our business substantially recovered during the second and third fiscal quarters as a result of both the reopening of most of our physical locations and also due to strong consumer demand for our products.

During the time period of October through early December of 2020, there has been a spike in reported COVID-19 cases in various parts of both the U.S. and Canada. The recent surge in cases has led to the imposition of increasing levels of restriction on our physical operations with respect to Galleries, Outlets and restaurants. These limitations include restrictions on the level of occupancy that is permitted in some locations as well as full closure requirements for other locations. Although we have experienced strong demand for our products in connection with prior closure requirements earlier in this year, our overall demand in specific markets correlates favorably with our customers’ ability to access our Galleries and Outlets. Accordingly, we do anticipate some negative impact to overall demand in connection the restrictions on our physical locations and the duration and extent of these operational limits cannot be predicted with certainty.

While our business strengthened during the second and third fiscal quarters, the lag in inventory receipts together with dislocations in our supply chain has resulted in some delays in our ability to convert business demand into revenues. Our global supply chain has not fully recovered from the impact of the COVID-19 dislocation. In light of the recent increase of virus infections and shelter in place orders which continue to negatively impact our manufacturing partners, we anticipate that our supply chain may not catch up to demand until the second half of 2021. Despite the strong growth in consumer demand in our business during the second and third fiscal quarters, revenue growth has lagged the increase in customer orders. As manufacturing and inventory receipts catch up with this backlog, we expect this demand will convert into revenue in the next several quarters.

While we have continued to serve our customers and operate our business through the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, there can be no assurance that future events will not have an impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition since the extent and duration of the health crisis remains uncertain. Future adverse developments in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, including additional waves or resurgences of COVID-19 outbreaks, evolving international, federal, state and local restrictions and safety regulations in response to COVID-19 risks, changes in consumer behavior and health concerns, the pace of economic activity in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, or other similar issues could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition in the future, or our financial results and business performance for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2021 and future time periods. Although the availability of vaccines and various treatments with respect to COVID-19 can be expected to have an overall positive impact on business conditions in the aggregate over time, the exact timing of these positive developments is uncertain and in the meantime reported cases of COVID-19 have surged in the U.S. and Canada from October through December 2020 resulting in various adverse operating restrictions on our physical locations.

In our initial response to the COVID-19 health crisis we undertook immediate adjustments to our business operations including temporarily closing retail locations and restaurants, curtailing expenses and delaying investments including scaling back some inventory orders while we assessed the status of our business. Our approach to the crisis evolved quickly as our business trends substantially improved during the second and third fiscal quarters. We will continue to closely manage our expenses and investments while considering both the overall economic environment as well as the needs of our business operations. In addition, our near term decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital in our business will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business related to the impact of COVID-19. During the second and third fiscal quarters of 2020 we have resumed many investments and previously deferred expenditures, but we anticipate that our decisions regarding these matters will continue to evolve in response to changing business circumstances including further development with respect to COVID-19.

NOTE 2—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Cloud Computing

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which amends ASU 2015-05—Customers Accounting for Fees in a Cloud Computing Agreement. The amendments in this ASU more closely align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license).

We adopted the ASU as of February 2, 2020 using a prospective method. We capitalize implementation costs related to hosted arrangements, which typically include three-year service terms with additional renewal periods generally ranging from one to three years. The related assets are recorded within other non-current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of accumulated amortization for assets placed in service. The amortization of assets placed in service is recorded in either cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, consistent with the costs of the hosting arrangement, on the condensed consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewal periods. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 3—Prepaid Expense and Other Assets.

Current Expected Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance through ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, the “ASUs”). The ASUs amend the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology to result in more timely recognition of losses. The guidance in the ASUs applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, such as receivables that result from revenue transactions.

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from our credit card processors for sales transactions, receivables related to our contract business and other miscellaneous receivables. Accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts as a result of the assessment of the collectability of customer accounts, which is recorded by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $3.3 million and $2.2 million as of October 31, 2020 and February 1, 2020, respectively.

We adopted the ASUs as of February 2, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition method, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings. We did not recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment upon adoption as the adoption of the ASUs did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU impacts various topic areas within ASC 740, including accounting for taxes under hybrid tax regimes, accounting for increases in goodwill, allocation of tax amounts to separate company financial statements within a group that files a consolidated tax return, intra period tax allocation, interim period accounting, and accounting for ownership changes in investments, among other minor codification improvements. The guidance in this ASU becomes effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and we do not expect the adoption of the new accounting standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Specifically, the ASU removes the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU’s guidance, we will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature of such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (i) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative or (ii) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, the ASU removes certain conditions for equity classification related to contracts in an entity’s own equity (e.g., warrants) and amends certain guidance related to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The guidance in this ASU can be adopted using either a full or modified retrospective approach and becomes effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements, including the timing and adoption approach.

(1)	Waterworks reporting unit goodwill of $51.1 million recognized upon acquisition in fiscal 2016 was fully impaired as of fiscal 2018, with $17.4 million and $33.7 million of impairment recorded in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively.

(2)	Presented net of an impairment charge of $35.1 million, with $20.5 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and $14.6 million recorded in fiscal 2018.

Acquisition of Goodwill and Tradename

On August 28, 2020, we acquired a furniture business in North America, for total consideration of $15.0 million, of which $4.8 million was allocated to tradename and $10.9 million was allocated to goodwill as a part of the purchase price allocation. Refer to Note 18—Business Combination.

Waterworks Tradename Impairment

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 health crisis and related Showroom closures and slowdown in construction activity, management updated the long-term financial projections for the Waterworks reporting unit, which resulted in a significant decrease in forecasted revenues and profitability. We performed an interim impairment test on the Waterworks tradename and the estimated future cash flows of the Waterworks reporting unit indicated the fair value of the tradename asset was below its carrying amount. We determined fair value utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology under the relief-from-royalty method. Significant assumptions under this method include forecasted net revenues and the estimated royalty rate, expressed as a percentage of revenues, in addition to the discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital. Based on the impairment test performed, we concluded that the Waterworks reporting unit tradename was impaired as of the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

As a result, we recognized a $20.5 million non-cash impairment charge for the Waterworks reporting unit tradename during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and the carrying value of the Waterworks indefinite-lived tradename asset after the impairment charge was $17.0 million.

NOTE 5—INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we entered into transactions whereby we became a 50 percent member of two privately held limited liability companies (the “JVs”) that each have the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing and ultimately selling certain specified real estate projects. The JVs are financed by capital contributions from the members on an as-needed basis, as well as via third-party debt secured by the underlying real estate projects and guaranteed by a member other than us. The JVs are considered variable interest entities because the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the JVs to finance their activities without additional financial support. A variable interest entity is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the variable interest entity. As we do not have a controlling financial interest in the JVs but have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the JVs, we recognized these investments using the equity method.

Table of Contents

As of October 31, 2020, we had $7.5 million of investments in the JVs, which is included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our proportional share of the JVs operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 was not material.

In addition, we defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards and merchandise credits. During the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recognized $5.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of revenue related to previous deferrals related to our gift cards and merchandise credits. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recognized $16.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively, of revenue related to previous deferrals related to our gift cards and merchandise credits. During the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded gift card breakage of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded gift card breakage of $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively. We expect that approximately 70% of the remaining gift card and merchandise credit liabilities as of October 31, 2020 will be recognized within the next twelve months as the gift cards are redeemed by customers.

Sale-Leaseback Transaction

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we executed a sale-leaseback transaction for the Minneapolis Design Gallery for sales proceeds of $25.5 million, which qualified for sale-leaseback accounting in accordance with ASC 842. Concurrently with the sale, we entered into an operating leaseback arrangement with an initial lease term of 20 years and a renewal option for an additional 10 years. We recognized a loss related to the execution of the sale transaction of $9.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we executed a sale-leaseback transaction for the Yountville Design Gallery for sales proceeds of $23.5 million, which qualified for sale-leaseback accounting in accordance with ASC 842. Concurrently with the sale, we entered into an operating leaseback arrangement with an initial lease term of 15 years and renewal options for up to an additional 30 years. We recognized a gain related to the execution of the sale transaction of $1.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $3.5 million related to one RH Baby & Child Gallery and one Waterworks showroom, comprised of lease right-of-use asset impairment of $2.0 million and property and equipment impairment of $1.5 million.

NOTE 9—CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

In September 2019, we issued in a private offering $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2024 Notes will mature on September 15, 2024, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2024 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2024 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 2024 Notes. The 2024 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 2024 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2024 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. Events of default under the indenture for the 2024 Notes include, among other things, the occurrence of an event of default by us as defined under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries for money borrowed, if that event of default (i) constitutes the failure to pay when due indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount in excess of $20 million and (ii) such event of default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice is delivered to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes then outstanding.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2024 Notes is 4.7304 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, or a total of approximately 1.656 million shares for the total $350 million principal amount. This initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $211.40 per share, which represents a 25% premium to the $169.12 closing share price on the day the 2024 Notes were priced. 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 governing the 2024 Notes, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to June 15, 2024, the 2024 Notes are convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2019, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The first condition was satisfied during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2020 and, accordingly, holders are eligible to convert their 2024 Notes during the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2020. On and after June 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2024 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2024 Notes will be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.

We may not redeem the 2024 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2024 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $3.5 million and third party offering costs of $1.3 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2024 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 expected life of the 2024 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2024 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes, respectively. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.5 million and $0.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes, respectively.

2024 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2024 Notes and exercise of the overallotment option in September 2019, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.656 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $211.40 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $91.4 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.656 million shares of our common stock at a price of $338.24 per share, which represents a 100% premium to the $169.12 closing share price on the day the 2024 Notes were priced. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received approximately $50.2 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 2024 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $338.24 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 $21.7 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2024 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.7 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

$335 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

In June 2018, we issued in a private offering $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 and issued an additional $35 million principal amount in connection with the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2023 Notes will mature on June 15, 2023, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2023 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2023 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 2023 Notes. The 2023 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 2023 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2023 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes. Events of default under the indenture for the 2023 Notes include, among other things, the occurrence of an event of default by us as defined under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries for money borrowed, if that event of default (i) constitutes the failure to pay when due indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount in excess of $20 million and (ii) such event of default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice is delivered to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2023 Notes is 5.1640 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $193.65 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 governing the 2023 Notes, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2023 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2023, the 2023 Notes are convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2018, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The first condition was satisfied during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2020 and, accordingly, holders are eligible to convert their 2023 Notes during the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2020. On and after March 15, 2023, 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 2023 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2023 Notes will be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.

We may not redeem the 2023 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their 2023 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $1.7 million and third party offering costs of $4.6 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2023 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 expected life of the 2023 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2023 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During both the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.7 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

We recorded interest expense of $13.1 million and $12.3 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2023 Notes during the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively.

2023 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes and exercise of the overallotment option in June 2018, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.730 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $193.65 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $91.9 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.730 million shares of our common stock at a price of $309.84 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under

Table of Contents

such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received approximately $51.0 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 2023 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $309.84 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 $22.3 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2023 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.5 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

$300 million 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 were governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2020 Notes did not bear interest, except that the 2020 Notes were 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 were unsecured obligations and did 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 were also considered “events of default” under the 2020 Notes, which could have resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2020 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes were guaranteed by our primary operating subsidiary, Restoration Hardware, Inc., as Guarantor. The 2020 Notes matured on July 15, 2020.

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

Prior to March 15, 2020, the 2020 Notes were 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 calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 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. The first condition was satisfied during the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2019 and, accordingly, holders were eligible to convert their 2020 Notes during the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2020. In addition, on and after March 15, 2020, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders could convert all or a portion of their 2020 Notes at any time.

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. 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 were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2020 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as a contra-liability and were presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2020 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not record amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2020 Notes during the three months ended October 31, 2020. During the three months ended November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.3 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.6 million and $0.9 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively.

In May 2020, $9.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes were converted at the option of the noteholders. We paid $9.2 million in cash and delivered 14,927 shares of common stock to settle the converted 2020 Notes. As a result, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of the liability component of $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. We also received 14,927 shares of common stock from the exercise of a portion of the convertible bond hedge we purchased concurrently with the issuance of the 2020 Notes as described below, and therefore, on a net basis did not issue any shares of our common stock in respect to such settlement of the 2020 Notes.

In July 2020, upon the maturity of the 2020 Notes, the remaining $290.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes were converted at the option of the noteholders. We paid $290.6 million in cash and delivered 1,116,718 shares of common stock to settle the converted 2020 Notes. No gain or loss arose on extinguishment of the liability component. We also received 1,116,735 shares of common stock from the exercise of the remainder of the convertible bond hedge we purchased concurrently with the issuance of the 2020 Notes as described below, and therefore, on a net basis received 17 shares of our common stock (which were recorded as treasury stock within the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity) in respect to such settlement of the 2020 Notes.

As of October 31, 2020, the 2020 Notes are no longer outstanding. As of February 1, 2020, the carrying values of the 2020 Notes, excluding the discounts upon original issuance and third party offering costs, was as follows (in thousands):

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 had the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.540 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 approximately $68.3 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.540 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of $189.00 per share (the “2020 warrants”). The 2020 warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received approximately $30.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the 2020 warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants were 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 met certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants were recorded in stockholders’ equity, not accounted for as derivatives and 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.

As a result of the operation of the bond hedge in connection with the maturity of the 2020 Notes, we were not required to issue any new shares to settle the notes as these shares were delivered to us under the terms of the bond hedge. The bond hedge was exercised in connection with the maturity date of the 2020 Notes.

During October 2020, we began settling the 2020 warrants by the delivery of net shares on a weekly basis in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreements, and as of October 31, 2020, we had delivered 290,967 shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants. We are continuing to deliver shares on a weekly basis in settlement of the 2020 warrants and, as of December 9, 2020, we have delivered an incremental 552,276 shares of common stock in settlement of the 2020 warrants in our fourth fiscal quarter. The final settlement of the 2020 warrants will continue through December and the first week of January 2021. The exact number of shares remaining to be delivered will depend on the extent to which the share price of our common stock remains above the exercise price of $189.00 per share under the warrants.

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 deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in non-current deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There is no deferred tax asset or liability remaining as of October 31, 2020 due to the maturity of the 2020 Notes.

Asset Based Credit Facility

In August 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc., along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders (the “Original Credit Agreement”).

On June 28, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an eleventh amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) among Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., various subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (“First Lien Administrative Agent”), which amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a revolving line of credit with initial availability of up to $600.0 million, of which $10.0 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200.0 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600.0 million to up to $800.0 million if and to the extent the lenders, whether existing lenders or new lenders, agree to increase their credit commitments. In addition, the Credit Agreement established an $80.0 million last in, last out (“LILO”) term loan facility. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is June 28, 2022.

On April 4, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc., entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, (a) established a $120.0 million first in, last out (“FILO”) term loan facility, which amount was fully borrowed as of April 4, 2019 and which incurs interest at a rate that is 1.25% greater than the interest rate applicable to the revolving loans provided for under the Credit Agreement at any time, (b) provided for additional permitted indebtedness, as defined in the Credit Agreement, that the loan parties can incur, and (c) modified the borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement in certain circumstances.

We repaid the full amount of the FILO term loan as of February 1, 2020. As a result of the repayment, we incurred a $0.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt in fiscal 2019, which represents the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs. We did not incur any prepayment penalties upon the early extinguishment of the FILO term loan.

Table of Contents

On May 31, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment, among other things, amends the Credit Agreement to (a) extend the time to deliver monthly financial statements to the lenders for the fiscal months ending February 2019 and March 2019 until June 19, 2019, (b) remove the requirement to deliver monthly financial statements to the lenders for the last fiscal month of any fiscal quarter, and (c) waive any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement relating to the delivery of monthly financial statements or other information to lenders for the fiscal months ending February 2019 and March 2019.

The availability of credit at any given time under the 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, 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 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, intangible assets, property, equipment, goods and fixtures of Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., RH US, LLC, Waterworks Operating Co., LLC and Waterworks IP Co., LLC.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to interest, at the borrowers’ option, at either the bank’s reference rate or London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (or, in the case of the revolving line of credit, 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. The Credit Agreement also contains various affirmative covenants, including the obligation to deliver notice to the First Lien Administrative Agent following the Company’s obtaining knowledge of any matter that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

In addition, under the Credit Agreement, we are required to meet specified financial ratios in order to undertake certain actions, and we may be required to maintain certain levels of excess availability or meet a specified consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”). Subject to certain exceptions, the trigger for the FCCR occurs if the domestic availability under the revolving line of credit is less than the greater of (i) $40.0 million and (ii) 10% of the lesser of (x) the domestic revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement and (y) the domestic revolving borrowing base. If the availability under the Credit Agreement is less than the foregoing amount, then Restoration Hardware, Inc. is required subject to certain exceptions to maintain an FCCR of at least one to one. As of October 31, 2020, Restoration Hardware, Inc. was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement requires a daily sweep of all cash receipts and collections to prepay the loans under the agreement while (i) an event of default exists or (ii) the availability under the revolving line of credit for extensions of credit is less than the greater of (A) $40.0 million and (B) 10% of the sum of (a) the lesser of (x) the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement and (y) the aggregate revolving borrowing base, plus (b) the lesser of (x) the then outstanding amount of the LILO term loan or (y) the LILO term loan borrowing base.

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, terminate any existing commitments under the Credit Agreement and declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

As of October 31, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement. The availability of credit at any given time under the 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, 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). Under the terms of such provisions, the amount under the revolving line of credit borrowing base that could be available pursuant to the Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2020 was $316.4 million, net of $14.6 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Second Lien Credit Agreement

On April 10, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc., entered into a credit agreement, dated as of April 9, 2019 and effective as of April 10, 2019 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among (i) Restoration Hardware, Inc., as lead borrower, (ii) the guarantors party thereto, (iii) the lenders party thereto, each of whom were managed or advised by either Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. and its affiliated investment managers or Apollo Capital Management, L.P. and its affiliated investment managers, as applicable, and (iv) BSP Agency, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Second Lien Administrative Agent”) with respect to a second lien term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $200.0 million with a maturity date of April 9, 2024 (the “Second Lien Term Loan”). The Second Lien Term Loan of $200.0 million in principal was repaid in full on September 20, 2019.

The Second Lien Term Loan bore interest at an annual rate generally based on the LIBOR plus 6.50%. This rate was a floating rate that reset periodically based upon changes in LIBOR rates during the life of the Second Lien Term Loan. At the date of the initial borrowing, the rate was set at one-month LIBOR plus 6.50%.

Intercreditor Agreement

On April 10, 2019, in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), dated as of April 9, 2019 and effective as of April 10, 2019, with the First Lien Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Administrative Agent. The Intercreditor Agreement established various customary inter-lender terms, including, without limitation, with respect to priority of liens, permitted actions by each party, application of proceeds, exercise of remedies in case of default, releases of liens and certain limitations on the amendment of the Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement without the consent of the other party. The Intercreditor Agreement was terminated upon repayment of the Second Lien Term Loan on September 20, 2019.

Equipment Loan Facility

On September 5, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a Master Loan and Security Agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“BAL”) pursuant to which BAL and we agreed that BAL would finance certain equipment of ours from time to time, with each such equipment financing to be evidenced by an equipment security note setting forth the terms for each particular equipment loan. Each equipment loan is secured by a purchase money security interest in the financed equipment. The maturity dates of the equipment security notes vary, but generally have a maturity of three or four years. We are required to make monthly installment payments under the equipment security notes.

NOTE 11—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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, we utilize market data or assumptions that we believe 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Our financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

●

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.

●

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

●

Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

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—Recurring

Amounts reported as cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of activity within these accounts. The estimated fair value of the asset based credit facility approximates cost as the interest rate associated with the facility is variable and resets frequently. The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes were as follows (in thousands):


	October 31,				February 1,
	2020				2020
	Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying
	Value		Value ⁽¹⁾		Value		Value ⁽¹⁾
Convertible senior notes due 2020⁽²⁾	$	—	$	—	$	295,573	$	291,110
Convertible senior notes due 2023		278,349		283,415		272,623		270,271
Convertible senior notes due 2024		270,467		280,143		255,849		268,366

(1)

Carrying value represents the principal amount less the equity component of the 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes classified in stockholders’ equity, and does not exclude the discounts upon original issuance, discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs, as applicable.

(2)	The 2020 Notes matured on July 15, 2020.

The fair value of each of the 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the trading price of our convertible notes, when available, our common stock price and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to ours (Level 2).

Fair Value Measurements—Non-Recurring

The fair value of the Waterworks reporting unit tradename was determined based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs and valuation techniques, as discussed in Note 4—Goodwill, Trademarks, Trademarks and Domain Names and in “Impairment” within Note 3—Significant Accounting Policies in the 2019 Form 10-K. The fair value of the acquired goodwill and tradename associated with the acquisition as discussed in Note 18—Business Combination was determined based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs and valuation techniques.

NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of $49.2 million and $8.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. We recorded income tax expense of $66.6 million and $36.8 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 51.4% and 13.7% for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 32.0% and 19.5% for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2020 was significantly impacted by non-deductible stock-based compensation and lower discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation in the three months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended November 2, 2019. The increase in our effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 was significantly impacted by non-deductible stock-based compensation and higher discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

As of October 31, 2020, we had $8.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $7.6 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits would offset other deferred tax assets, if recognized. As of October 31, 2020, we had $6.1 million of exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months.

NOTE 13—NET INCOME PER SHARE

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


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	October 31,	November 2,	October 31,	November 2,
	2020	2019	2020	2019

Weighted-average shares—diluted	28,286,124	24,170,172	26,351,194	23,809,425

(1)

The 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes have an impact on our dilutive share count beginning at stock prices of $118.13 per share, $193.65 per share and $211.40 per share, respectively. The 2020 Notes terminated on July 15, 2020 and did not have an impact on our dilutive share count post-termination. The warrants associated with our 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes have an impact on our dilutive share count beginning at stock prices of $189.00 per share, $309.84 per share and $338.24 per share, respectively. The warrants associated with our 2020 Notes expire through January 2021. While the share price for our common stock trades above the applicable conversion price of each series of notes or the applicable exercise price of each series of warrants for the 2020 Notes, the 2023 Notes and the 2024 Notes, these instruments will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock continues to exceeds the applicable conversion or exercise price of the notes and warrants. Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes.

Dilutive options of 311,242 and 190,766 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Dilutive options of 451,559 and 457,300 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 14—SHARE REPURCHASES AND SHARE RETIREMENTS

Share Repurchase Program

On October 10, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $700.0 million, of which $250.0 million in share repurchases were completed in fiscal 2018. The $700.0 million authorization amount was replenished by the Board of Directors on March 25, 2019 (as replenished, the “$950 Million Repurchase Program”). We did not make any repurchases under this program during the nine months ended October 31, 2020. During the nine months ended November 2, 2019, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $115.36 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $250.0 million under this share repurchase program. As of October 31, 2020, there was $450.0 million remaining for future share repurchases under this program.

Share Repurchases Under Equity Plans

As of October 31, 2020 and February 1, 2020, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the notes payable for share repurchases was $18.8 million and $18.7 million, respectively, which were included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.2 million. During both the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.7 million.

Of the $18.8 million and $18.7 million notes payable for share repurchases outstanding as of October 31, 2020 and February 1, 2020, $15.5 million is related to a promissory note due to a current board member.

Share Retirements

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, we retired 600 shares of our common stock related to shares we had repurchased under equity plans and we retired 17 shares of our common stock related to shares we received upon the maturity of the 2020 Notes (refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes). As a result of the retirements, we reclassified a total of $0.1 million from treasury stock to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of October 31, 2020.

During the nine months ended November 2, 2019, we retired 2,170,154 shares of our common stock related to shares we had repurchased under the $950 Million Repurchase Program. As a result of this retirement, we reclassified a total of $250.3 million from treasury stock, of which $13.2 million was allocated to additional paid-in capital and $237.1 million was allocated to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 1, 2020 and on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of November 2, 2019.

NOTE 15—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $118.8 million and $5.1 million during the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $131.5 million and $16.1 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. No stock-based compensation cost has been capitalized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Option Grant

On October 18, 2020, our Board of Directors granted Mr. Friedman an option to purchase 700,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to $385.30 per share under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.

The option contains selling restrictions on the underlying shares that lapse upon the achievement of both time-based service requirements and stock price performance-based metrics as described further below. The option is fully

Table of Contents

vested on the date of grant but the shares underlying the option remain subject to transfer restrictions to the extent the performance-based and time-based requirements have not been met. The option will result in aggregate non-cash stock compensation expense of $173.6 million, of which $111.2 million was recognized during the three months ended October 31, 2020 (which is included in the stock-based compensation expense recorded during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 noted above). As of October 31, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense was $62.4 million, which will be recognized on an accelerated basis through May 2025.

Time-Based Restrictions

The time-based restrictions are measured over a four-year performance year period which will begin in May 2021, on the anniversary of the option granted to Mr. Friedman in 2017. The time-based restrictions will lapse at the end of each of the successive anniversary dates from May 2022 through May 2025 at a rate of 175,000 shares per year if (i) Mr. Friedman remains in service with us at the end of such year with the authority, duties, or responsibilities of a chief executive officer at such date and (ii) the stock price performance-based metrics have been achieved in such year as described further below.

Performance-Based Restrictions

The stock price performance-based restrictions of the option are measured annually over the performance year period and may lapse as to only one-quarter of the option in each of the first four performance years, with the first performance year beginning in May 2021. The stock price performance-based metrics for the option are set at $500 per share, $650 per share and $800 per share. With respect to any given performance year, if the “twenty day average trading price” our common stock exceeds $500 per share, $650 per share, or $800 per share during such performance year, then the selling restrictions will lapse as to 58,333 shares, 58,333 share and 58,334 shares, respectively, on the last day of such performance year, if Mr. Friedman remains in service with us at such date.

Any selling restrictions that have not lapsed in any performance year during the first four performance years may be achieved in a successive performance year through the end of the eighth performance year which ends in May 2029, provided Mr. Friedman continues to satisfy the service requirement through the date the performance target is achieved. Any selling restrictions that have not lapsed by the end of the eighth performance year will thereafter only lapse in May 2041, the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the first performance year.

2012 Stock Incentive Plan and 2012 Stock Option Plan

As of October 31, 2020, 8,535,569 options were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $101.78 per share and 6,611,534 options were vested with a weighted-average exercise price of $88.89 per share. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, options vested or expected to vest, and options exercisable as of October 31, 2020 was $2,028.2 million, $1,930.3 million, and $1,628.7 million, respectively. Stock options exercisable as of October 31, 2020 had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 4.2 years. As of October 31, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options was $102.9 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 4.83 years. In addition, as of October 31, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020 was $62.4 million, which will be recognized on an accelerated basis through May 2025 (refer to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Option Grant above).

As of October 31, 2020, we had 94,390 restricted stock units outstanding with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $45.93 per share. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, 4,440 restricted stock units vested with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $63.07 per share. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, 105,015 restricted stock units vested with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $52.75 per share and 3,192 restricted stock shares were delivered with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $285.03. As of October 31, 2020, there was $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.94 years.

Rollover Units

In connection with the acquisition of Waterworks in May 2016, $1.5 million rollover units in the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Rollover Units”) were recorded as part of the transaction. The Rollover Units are subject to the terms of the Waterworks LLC agreement, including redemption rights at an amount equal to the greater of (i) the $1.5 million remitted as consideration in the business combination or (ii) an amount based on the percentage interest represented in the overall valuation of the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Appreciation Rights”). The Appreciation Rights are measured at fair value and are subject to fair value measurements during the expected life of the Rollover Units, with changes to fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Appreciation Rights is determined based on an option-pricing model (“OPM”). We did not record any expense related to the Appreciation Rights during both the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019. As of both October 31, 2020 and February 1, 2020, the liability associated with the Rollover Units and related Appreciation Rights was $1.5 million, which is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Profit Interests

In connection with the acquisition of Waterworks in May 2016, profit interests units in the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Profit Interests”) were issued to certain Waterworks associates. The Profit Interests are measured at their grant date fair value and expensed on a straight-line basis over their expected life, or five years. The Profit Interests are subject to fair value measurements during their expected life, with changes to fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Profit Interests is determined based on an OPM. For both the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.1 million related to the Profit Interests, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income. For both the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, we recorded $0.3 million related to the Profit Interests. As of October 31, 2020 and February 1, 2020, the liability associated with the Profit Interests was $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

We had no material off balance sheet commitments as of October 31, 2020.

Contingencies

We are involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. These disputes are increasing in number as the business expands and we grow larger. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. As a result, the outcome of matters in which we are involved could result in unexpected expenses and liability that could adversely affect our operations. In addition, any claims against us, 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.

We review 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. When and to the extent that we do establish a reserve, there can be no assurance that any such recorded liability for estimated losses will be for the appropriate amount, and actual losses could be higher or lower than what we accrue from time to time. We believe that the ultimate resolution of our current matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Securities Class Action

On February 2, 2017, City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, against the Company, Gary Friedman, and Karen Boone. On March 16, 2017, Peter J. Errichiello, Jr. filed a similar class action complaint in the same forum and against the same parties. On April 26, 2017, the court consolidated the two actions. The consolidated action is captioned In re RH, Inc. Securities Litigation. An amended consolidated complaint was filed in June 2017 asserting claims under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The complaint asserts claims purportedly on behalf of a class of purchasers of our common stock from March 26, 2015 to June 8, 2016. The alleged misstatements relate to statements regarding the roll out of the RH Modern product line and our inventory levels. The complaint seeks class certification, monetary damages, and other appropriate relief, including an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. On March 21, 2019, we and the individual defendants in the case entered into a binding memorandum of understanding to settle the case. The settlement amount is $50 million, which was funded entirely by our insurance carriers. On May 6, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement together with a settlement agreement executed by both parties. The settlement agreement was subject to customary conditions including court approval following notice to our shareholders, and a hearing at which time the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. On June 21, 2019, the court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement. The court granted final approval of the settlement on October 25, 2019.

As a result of the court approval and adjudication of the claims in 2019, as well as our insurance carriers funding the settlement amount, we have derecognized the provision for legal settlement and unpaid legal fees within other current liabilities and the associated litigation insurance recovery receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 31, 2020, which settlement resolved all of the claims that were or could have been brought in the action.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit

On April 24, 2018, purported Company shareholder David Magnani filed a purported shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, captioned Magnani v. Friedman et al. (No. 18-cv-02452). On June 29, 2018, Hosrof Izmirliyan filed a similar purported shareholder derivative complaint in the same forum, captioned Izmirliyan v. Friedman et al. (No. 18-cv-03930). On July 29, 2018, the court consolidated both derivative actions, and the consolidated action is captioned In re RH Shareholder Derivative Litigation. On August 24, 2018, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that names the Company as a nominal defendant and Gary Friedman, Karen Boone, Carlos Alberini, Keith Belling, Eri Chaya, Mark Demilio, Katie Mitic, Ali Rowghani and Leonard Schlesinger as defendants. The allegations substantially track those in the securities class action described above. Plaintiffs bring claims against all individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The plaintiffs also allege insider trading and misappropriation of information claims against two of the individual defendants. The amended complaint seeks monetary damages, corporate governance changes, restitution, and an award of costs and attorneys’ fees. We believe that plaintiffs lack standing to bring this derivative action. On September 28, 2018, we filed a motion to stay proceedings and a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On January 23, 2019, the court granted the motion to stay the case pending resolution of the securities class action discussed above. On March 19, 2020, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation and subsequently entered into a stipulation of settlement that was preliminarily approved by the Court on August 3, 2020. The settlement involves certain non-monetary terms as well as payment of the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ legal fees, which payment is expected to be funded by our insurance carriers. On October 6, 2020, the Court held a final settlement hearing.

NOTE 17—SEGMENT REPORTING

We define reportable and operating segments on the same basis that we use to evaluate our performance internally by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), which we have determined is our Chief Executive Officer. We have two operating segments: RH Segment and Waterworks. The two operating segments include all sales channels accessed by our customers, including sales through catalogs, websites, stores, and the commercial channel.

Table of Contents

Our two operating segments are strategic business units that offer products for the home furnishings customer. While RH Segment and Waterworks have a shared management team and customer base, we have determined that their results cannot be aggregated as they do not share similar economic characteristics, as well as due to other quantitative factors.

We use operating income to evaluate segment profitability. Operating income is defined as net income before interest expense—net, tradename impairment and income tax expense.

Segment Information

The following table presents the statements of income metrics reviewed by the CODM to evaluate performance internally or as required under ASC 280—Segment Reporting (in thousands):

The Waterworks reporting unit tradename is presented net of an impairment charge of $35.1 million, of which $20.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and $14.6 million was recorded in fiscal 2018. Refer to “Waterworks Tradename Impairment” within Note 4—Goodwill, Trademarks, Trademarks and Domain Names.

We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating income excludes (i) a non-cash compensation charge related to a fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, (ii) asset impairments and change in useful lives, (iii) gain (loss) on sale leaseback transaction, (iv) severance costs associated with reorganizations, (v) product recall accruals and adjustments—net, (vi) favorable legal settlement and (vii) asset held for sale gain. These items are excluded from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of segment operating results. Accordingly, these items are not presented by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that the CODM and management review.

During the third fiscal quarter of 2020, we reviewed our segments and product lines and updated certain products and categories in our reporting of furniture and non-furniture product lines. While this reporting change did not impact our consolidated results, prior period segment data has been recast for consistency in reporting.

We are domiciled in the United States and primarily operate our retail and outlet stores in the United States. As of October 31, 2020, we operated 4 retail and 2 outlet stores in Canada and 1 retail store in the U.K. Revenues from Canadian and U.K. operations, and the long-lived assets in Canada and the U.K., are not material. Canada and U.K. geographic revenues are based upon revenues recognized at the retail store locations in the respective country.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019.

NOTE 18—BUSINESS COMBINATION

On August 28, 2020, we acquired a furniture business in North America, for total consideration of $15.0 million funded through available cash, of which $1.9 million was deposited into an escrow account for any potential post-closing adjustments. We have deposited into escrow an additional $5.0 million, which represents a deferred acquisition related payment subject to mutually agreed to conditions and expected to be paid over two years. We believe that this addition to the RH platform further positions us as a leader in the luxury design market as we continue to enhance the RH product assortment.

For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, we incurred $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs associated with the transaction. These costs and expenses include fees associated with financial,

legal and accounting advisors, and employment related costs, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):


Tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed—net	$	(796)

The tradename has been assigned an indefinite life and therefore is not subject to amortization. The goodwill, included in the RH Segment, is representative of the benefits and expected synergies from the integration of the acquired company’s products, management and employees, which do not qualify for separate recognition as an intangible asset. The tradename and goodwill are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Results of operations of the acquired company have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of income since the August 28, 2020 acquisition date. Pro forma results of the acquired business have not been presented as the results were not considered material to our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented and would not have been material had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2020.

Overview

We are a leading luxury retailer in the home furnishings marketplace. Our curated and fully-integrated assortments 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, and child and teen furnishings. We position our Galleries as showrooms for our brand, while our Source Books and websites act as virtual extensions of our stores. Our retail business is fully integrated across our multiple channels of distribution, consisting of our stores, Source Books, and websites. We have an integrated RH Hospitality experience in ten of our new Design Gallery locations, which includes restaurants and wine vaults.

As of October 31, 2020, we operated the following number of retail Galleries, outlets and showrooms:

Our business substantially recovered during the second and third fiscal quarters from effects of the initial wave of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a result of both the reopening of most of our retail locations and also due to strong consumer demand for our products.

As our business has strengthened during the second and third fiscal quarters, the lag in inventory receipts together with dislocations in our supply chain has resulted in some delays in our ability to convert business demand into revenues. Our global supply chain has not fully recovered from the impact of the COVID-19 dislocation. In light of the recent increase of virus infections and shelter in place orders which continue to negatively impact our manufacturing partners, we anticipate that our supply chain may not catch up to demand until the second half of 2021. Despite the strong growth in consumer demand in our business during the second and third fiscal quarters, revenue growth has lagged the increase in customer orders. As manufacturing and inventory receipts catch up with this backlog, we expect this demand will convert into revenue in the next several quarters.

During the time period of October through early December 2020, there has been a spike in reported COVID-19 cases in various parts of both the U.S. and Canada. The recent surge in cases has led to the imposition of increasing levels of restriction on our physical operations with respect to Galleries, Outlets and restaurants. These limitations include restrictions on the level of occupancy that is permitted in some locations as well as full closure requirements for other locations. Although we have experienced strong demand for our products in connection with prior closure requirements earlier this year, our overall demand in specific markets correlates favorably with our customers’ ability to access our Galleries and Outlets. Accordingly, we do anticipate some negative impact to overall demand in connection with the restrictions on our physical locations and the duration and extent of these operational limits cannot be predicted with certainty.

While we have continued to serve our customers and operate our business through the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, there can be no assurance that future events will not have an impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition since the extent and duration of the health crisis remains uncertain. Future adverse developments in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, including additional waves or resurgences of COVID-19 outbreaks, evolving international, federal, state and local restrictions and safety regulations in response to COVID-19 risks, changes in consumer behavior and health concerns, the pace of economic activity in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, or other similar issues could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition in the future, or our financial results and business performance for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2021 and future time periods. Although the availability of vaccines and various treatments with respect to COVID-19 can be expected to have an overall positive impact on business conditions in the aggregate over time, the exact timing of these positive developments is uncertain and in the meantime reported cases of COVID-19 have surged in the U.S. and Canada from October 2020 through December 2020 resulting in various adverse operating restrictions on our physical locations.

Table of Contents

The evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world may continue to have an adverse impact on elements of our supply chain including the manufacture, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products and our inventory levels. The presence of the virus and the response to the health crisis in various countries can affect the speed at which the factories that manufacture our products are able to resume normal operations and production levels, and the extent to which business conditions are able to return to normal in areas that affect our supply chain including factories and transportation. Furthermore, our hospitality business may not recover as quickly as other parts of our business, as in most of our retail locations that have reopened, substantial operational restrictions related to COVID-19 health and safety considerations, for example limits to seating capacity, have been imposed on such business by various governmental authorities. Such operational restrictions may cause our hospitality offerings to be less attractive to customers or may lower its margins and profitability.

While we are pursuing a large number of new business initiatives, the COVID-19 health crisis has had a short-term impact on some of those efforts and initiatives such as the timing of some construction efforts with respect to opening new Gallery locations and optimizing our inventory in light of Outlet inventory buildup resulting from our temporary retail closures. For example, while we have generally experienced positive and improving business trends during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020, counterparties with respect to some of our Gallery development projects may experience capital or liquidity constraints due to COVID-19 related difficulties, which may impact the timing or scope of some of our development projects. The impact of COVID-19 abroad, including travel restrictions imposed by various countries, may continue to affect certain aspects of our planned international expansion and has been a major factor in our decision to delay the timing of our previous plans to open new international locations in 2021. Given the pace at which business conditions are evolving in response to the COVID-19 health crisis, we may adjust our investments in various business initiatives including our capital expenditures through the remainder of fiscal 2020 and over the course of fiscal 2021.

We will continue to closely manage our expenses and investments while considering both the overall economic environment as well as the needs of our business operations. In addition, our near term decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital in our business will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business related to the impact of COVID-19. During the second and third fiscal quarters of 2020 we have resumed many investments and previously deferred expenditures, but we anticipate that our decisions regarding these matters will continue to evolve in response to changing business circumstances including further developments with respect to COVID-19. For more information, refer to Item 1A—Risk Factors—The COVID-19 pandemic poses significant and widespread risks to our business as well as to the business environment and the markets in which we operate in Part II of this quarterly report.

Key Value Driving Strategies

In order to drive growth across our business, we are focused on a number of key long-term strategies, including:

●

Elevate and Expand RH Product. Consistent with our luxury brand positioning, we are driving improvements in our product offering as one of the key value driving strategies of our business. We have multiple new growth initiatives in the pipeline, including new collections, new concepts, new galleries, new guesthouses, and new businesses. For example, we will be introducing RH Contemporary, a new collection that bridges the gap between RH Interiors and RH Modern, while elevating our brand and expanding our market. While we have expanded our merchandise assortment substantially over a number of years, we are increasingly focused on efforts to elevate our product as opposed to only increasing the size of our product offering. As part of this effort, we are driving continuing enhancements in the taste, quality and style of our products as well as integrating our product offering to offer our customers authoritative collections of home furnishings at the high end of the market.

We continue to attract and collaborate with the best designers, artisans, and manufacturers in our industry, scaling their work across our integrated platform and thereby rendering it more valuable, enabling us to curate a compelling collection of luxury home furnishings to our customers. Our vision is not only to elevate our merchandise offering, but also to offer a broader ecosystem of products and experiences as we move the brand beyond curating and selling product to conceptualizing and selling spaces by building an integrated platform

Table of Contents

of products, places, services and spaces that elevate and establish the RH brand as a global thought leader, taste and placemaker.

As an example, our product is elevated and rendered more valuable by our architecturally inspiring Galleries, which are further elevated and rendered more valuable by our seamlessly integrated hospitality experience. Our Hospitality efforts will continue to elevate the RH brand as we move beyond the four walls of our Galleries into RH Guesthouses where our goal is to create a new market for travelers seeking privacy and luxury in the hotel industry. Additionally, we are creating bespoke hospitality experiences like RH Yountville, an integration of Food, Wine, Art & Design in the Napa Valley. These immersive experiences expose existing and new customers to our evolving authority in interior design, architecture, landscape architecture and hospitality.

●

Transform Our Real Estate Platform. We believe our strategy to open new Design Galleries in every major market will unlock the value of our vast assortment, generating a revenue opportunity for our business of $5 to $6 billion in North America. We believe we can significantly increase our sales by transforming our real estate platform from our existing legacy retail footprint to a portfolio of Design Galleries that are sized to the potential of each market and the size of our merchandise assortment.

New sites are identified based on a variety of factors, such as (i) the availability of suitable new site locations based on several store specific factors including geographic location, demographics, and proximity to affluent consumers, (ii) the ability to negotiate favorable economic terms, as well as (iii) the satisfactory and timely completion of real estate development including procurement of permits and completion of construction. The number of Design Galleries we open in any fiscal year is highly dependent upon these variables and individual new Design Galleries may be subject to delay or postponement depending on the circumstances of specific projects, which we have experienced with some of our new Gallery openings from time to time including in connection with the COVID-19 crisis.

Today we operate 24 Design Galleries, and based on our analysis, we believe we have the opportunity to operate Design Galleries in 60 to 70 locations in the United States and Canada. We opened our Minneapolis Design Gallery in September 2019, our Columbus Design Gallery in December 2019, our Charlotte Design Gallery in June 2020 and our Marin Design Gallery in July 2020.

We have identified key learnings from our real estate transformation that have supported the development of a multi-tier market approach that we believe will optimize both market share and return on invested capital. Our Gallery designs include (i) prototype Design Galleries that are suited to many North American markets, similar to those we opened most recently in Charlotte and Marin, (ii) larger Bespoke Design Galleries in the top metropolitan markets, similar to those we opened in New York and Chicago, and (iii) indigenous Bespoke Galleries in the best second home markets where the wealthy and affluent visit and vacation including our location in Yountville, California as well as our Gallery under development in Aspen, Colorado.

Like our evolving multi-tier market approach, we have developed a multi-tier real estate strategy that is designed to significantly increase our unit level profitability and return on invested capital. Several of our primary deal constructs are outlined below:

●

First, due to the productivity and proof of concept of our recent new Galleries, and the addition of a powerful, traffic-generating hospitality experience, we are able to negotiate “capital light” leasing deals, where a substantial portion of the capital requirement would be funded by the landlord.

●

Second, in select projects we are migrating from a leasing to a development model. We have two Galleries, Yountville and Minneapolis, that have used this new model, and have additional projects in the pipeline. In the case of Yountville and Minneapolis, we have completed sale-leaseback transactions that have allow us to recoup a large portion of our capital.

●

Third, we are working on joint venture projects, where we share the upside of development with the developer/landlord. An example of this new model would be our future Gallery and Guesthouse in

Table of Contents

Aspen, where the value of our lease has enabled us to secure a profits interest in the project. The developer will deliver to RH a substantially turnkey Gallery and Guesthouse, while we continue to retain a 20% and 25% profits interest in the properties, respectively. We would expect to monetize the profits interest at the time of sale of the properties, which we anticipate would occur within five years of such properties’ development. The net result should be a minimal capital investment to operationalize the business, with the expectation for a net positive capital benefit at time of monetization of the profits interest.

We anticipate that all of the above deal structures should lead to lower capital requirements, higher unit profitability, and significantly higher return on invested capital versus our prior Gallery development strategies.

●

Pursue International Expansion. We believe that our luxury brand positioning and unique aesthetic has strong international appeal, and pursuit of global expansion will provide RH access to a substantial long-term market opportunity to build a $20 billion global brand over time. As such, we are actively pursuing expanding the RH brand globally with the objective of launching additional international locations beginning in 2022. We have secured a number of locations in various markets in the United Kingdom and continental Europe in which we expect to introduce our first Galleries outside of the U.S. and Canada. We believe that expanding our business into these and other international markets represents a substantial long-term market opportunity given the size and fragmentation of the home furnishings industry in these markets, and are pursuing international expansion as one of our key business priorities.

●

Grow Our Integrated Hospitality Experience. In 2015 we began to introduce an integrated hospitality experience, including restaurants and wine vaults, into a number of our new Gallery locations. The success of our initial hospitality offering in Chicago led us to broaden this initiative by adding hospitality to a number of our other new Gallery locations. Ten of our Design Galleries include integrated restaurants and wine vaults, and we expect nearly all of our future Design Galleries will include restaurants and wine vaults. We believe this has created a unique new retail experience that cannot be replicated online, and that the addition of hospitality is helping to drive incremental sales of home furnishings in these Galleries.

●

Architect New Operating Platform. We have spent approximately four years architecting a new operating platform, inclusive of transitioning from a promotional to membership model, our distribution center network redesign, the redesign of our reverse logistics and outlet business, and the reconceptualization of our home delivery and customer experience, which enables us to drive lower costs and inventory levels, and higher earnings and inventory turns. Looking forward, we expect this multi-year effort to result in a dramatically improved customer experience, continued margin enhancement and significant cost savings over the next several years.

●

Maximize Cash Flow and Optimize the Allocation of Capital in the Business. From fiscal 2017 through and including fiscal 2020, we have increasingly operated our business with a goal to maximize cash flow and the allocation of capital. We believe that our operations and current initiatives are providing a significant opportunity to optimize the allocation of capital in our business, including generating free cash flow and optimizing our balance sheet. Our focus on cash flow and capital allocation has permitted us to make long-term decisions that benefit our business including deploying capital to repay debt and repurchase shares of our common stock, which we believe creates a benefit to our shareholders.

During fiscal 2017, we repurchased approximately 20.2 million shares of our common stock under two separate repurchase programs for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $1 billion. During fiscal 2018, we repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares of our common stock under a separate repurchase program for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $250 million. During fiscal 2019, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock under a separate repurchase program for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $250 million. Our focus on cash also resulted in our generating substantial free cash flow in fiscal 2017 through 2019, and we expect this objective to continue to be a priority in fiscal 2020 and 2021.

●

Increase Operating Margins. Since fiscal 2016 and continuing through fiscal 2020, we have substantially increased the operating margins in our business. While the time period during which we have had to adjust our operations to respond to the COVID-19 crisis will have some negative impact on margins, we believe that our longer term effort to increase operating margins will continue as the business continues to normalize after the effects of COVID-19 moderate. We anticipate continued improvements in operating margins as a result of our focus on a number of our strategic initiatives including (i) the occupancy leverage we expect to gain from our real estate transformation, (ii) product margin expansion as we continue to elevate and expand the RH product and drive higher full price selling in our core business, and (iii) the continued cost savings from improvements to our operating platform and organizational structure.

Business Initiatives

We are undertaking a large number of new business initiatives in support of our key value driving strategies. In particular, beginning in fiscal 2016 and continuing through fiscal 2020, we have pursued a range of strategic efforts to improve our business and operations including the following:

●

Introduction of Membership Model. In March 2016, we introduced the RH Members Program, an exclusive program that reimagines and simplifies the shopping experience. For an annual fee, the RH Members Program provides a set discount every day across all RH brands, excluding RH Hospitality and Waterworks, in addition to other benefits including complimentary interior design services through the RH Interior Design program and eligibility for preferred financing plans on the RH Credit Card, among other benefits. The RH Members Program allows our customers to shop for what they want, when they want, and receive the greatest value, which has resulted in orders and sales being more evenly distributed throughout the year as opposed to the peaks and valleys of orders and sales we experienced under the prior promotional model. We believe the shift to a membership model has enhanced the customer experience, rendered our brand more valuable, improved operational execution and reduced costs.

We believe that the shift to a membership model has positively affected the financial results of our business. Specifically, we believe some of the benefits include:

Improved customer experience. Our interior design professionals can now work with customers based on their timeline and project deadlines, as opposed to our prior promotional calendar. We believe this will lead to larger overall sales transactions for individual customer design projects.

Lower cancellations and returns. As a result of the elimination of time-limited promotional events and the associated pressure of placing an order before a promotion expires, we believe the shift to a membership model has also resulted in lower rates of cancelled orders and returns.

Improved operational costs. The volume of sales, orders and shipments in our business under the prior promotional model was characterized by large spikes in customer orders based upon promotional events followed by lower orders and sales after the end of an event. This buying pattern also affected numerous other aspects of our business, including staffing and costs as we required elevated staffing levels to service the increased number of customers during peak sales events. Likewise, significant fluctuations in sales had downstream implications for our supply chain related to merchandise orders, manufacturing and production, shipment to our distribution centers and final delivery to our customers. All of these aspects of our operations are experiencing improved efficiencies as a result of the membership model whereby sales are more evenly distributed throughout the year as opposed to the peaks and valleys of orders and sales under the prior model.

●

Luxury In-Home Furniture Delivery Experience. We believe there is an opportunity to improve the customer experience by enhancing our approach to services in connection with in-home delivery. We are in the process of implementing a number of measures that are designed to increase our level of control and improve service levels throughout the delivery experience to the customer’s residence. We believe that we are well positioned to develop improved solutions for in-home delivery to the customer in the luxury market. We have already adopted a number of service improvements that are yielding improvements in the customer experience and reductions in product return and exchange rates. We expect to continue to optimize our service offering to customers in connection with the in-home delivery experience and are confident that our efforts in this regard will continue to achieve substantial results.

Table of Contents

●

Elevate the Customer Experience. We are continuing to pursue the positioning of our business as a luxury brand. As one part of this ongoing initiative, we are focused on improving the end-to-end customer experience. As we have elevated our brand, especially at retail, we are also working to enhance the brand experience in other aspects of our business. We are making changes in many aspects of our business processes that affect our customers, including the in-home delivery experience, improvements in product quality and enhancements in sourcing, product availability, and all aspects of customer care and service. We also believe that the introduction of experiential brand-enhancing products and services, such as expanded design ateliers, the RH Interior Design program and the launch of an integrated hospitality experience in a number of our new Galleries, will further enhance our customers’ in-store experience, allowing us to further disrupt the highly fragmented home furnishings landscape and achieve market share gains.

We continue to pursue and test numerous initiatives to improve many aspects of our business including through efforts to optimize inventory, elevate the home delivery experience, simplify our distribution network and improve our organizational design including by streamlining and realigning our home office operations, as well as to elevate and expand our product offering, transform our real estate using a range of different models for specific real estate development projects and expand our brand internationally. Many of these initiatives and other initiatives such as our transition to a direct sourcing model for our rug business have improved our operating margins, but other initiatives such as RH Hospitality, Waterworks and investments to develop our international expansion strategy are expected to offset some planned margin improvement in fiscal 2020 due to our investments in these platforms. There can be no assurance as to the timing and extent of the operational benefits and financial contributions of these strategic efforts. In addition, our pursuit of multiple initiatives with respect to our business in any given period may result in period-to-period changes in, and increased fluctuation in, our results of operations. We have also experienced delays in development timelines for some of our recent projects, and delays in completion of our real estate development projects or costs overruns could negatively affect our results of operations and revenues. Further, macroeconomic or political events outside of our control could impact our ability to pursue our initiatives or the success of such initiatives. While we believe that the tariffs imposed to date on most of our goods sourced from China have not had an adverse effect on our results of operations, including our revenues, margins and earnings, there can be no assurance that the existing tariffs and the additional tariffs that will become effective, as well as other future tariffs that may be imposed, will not adversely affect our results of operation in future time periods.

The stock market has experienced significant increases in volatility during fiscal 2020. In general we have experienced some correlation between stock market performance and consumer spending patterns in our business. Accordingly, we may encounter shifts in consumer spending in future time periods as a result of stock market declines including in the event that heightened market volatility related to the COVID-19 health crisis or other factors including deterioration in market conditions leads to stock price declines. Our business is also correlated to the luxury housing market. The luxury housing market is affected by a range of factors including home prices and interest rates and slowdowns in the luxury housing market can have a negative impact on demand for our products. Factors that affect the higher end housing market in particular may have an outsized influence on our levels of consumer demand since our business is geared toward the higher end of the luxury home furnishings market. The above factors and other current and future operational initiatives may create additional uncertainty with respect to our consolidated net revenues and profit in the near term.

Matters Affecting Comparability

The disruption to our business operations from the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the comparability of certain ratios and year-over-year trends for our operating results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019. The primary negative impact to our revenues from store closures occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, but despite the reopening of most of our Galleries during the second and third fiscal quarters and a strong resurgence in customer demand for our products, we have continued to address a range of business circumstances related to COVID-19 including delays in inventory receipts and manufacturing as our supply chain recovers from the impact of the global health crisis. We have also changed the cadence of our expenses and investments as we have sought to address the impact of COVID-19 on the business. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we implemented a number of short-term and long-term initiatives in response to COVID-19 including the implementation of a business reorganization and the deferral of certain investments. During the second and third fiscal quarters of 2020, we have resumed many investments and previously deferred expenditures but we anticipate that our decisions regarding these matters will continue to evolve in response to changing business circumstances including further developments with respect to COVID-19, such as the increase in reported cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. and Canada during the time period of October through early December 2020.

Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We define adjusted net income as consolidated net income, adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted net income is included in this filing because management believes that adjusted net income provides meaningful supplemental information for investors

regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of actual results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted net income for the periods indicated below.

(a)

Represents a non-cash compensation charge related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.

(b)

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for GAAP purposes for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2014 (the “2019 Notes”), the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”), the $335 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2018 (the “2023 Notes”) and the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in September 2019 (the “2024 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components and we are amortizing as debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the equity components as interest expense on the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes over their expected lives. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $1.1 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $4.2 million and $2.3 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The 2019 Notes matured on June 15, 2019 and the 2020 Notes matured on July 15, 2020 and neither impacted amortization of debt discount post-maturity.

(c)

Represents tradename impairment related to the Waterworks reporting unit. Refer to “Waterworks Tradename Impairment” within Note 4—Goodwill, Trademarks, Trademarks and Domain Names in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The adjustment in the three months ended October 31, 2020 also includes asset impairments of $0.8 million and the adjustment in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 also includes asset impairments of $5.6 million and inventory reserves of $2.4 million related to Outlet inventory buildup resulting from retail closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 include an asset impairment of $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and the nine months ended November 2, 2019 also includes a $0.5 million charge related to the termination of a service agreement.

(j)

Represents the net gain on real estate related to land sales.

(k)

The adjustment for the three months ended October 31, 2020 is based on an adjusted tax rate of 23.3%, which excludes the tax impact associated with the non-cash compensation charge related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020. The adjustment for the three months ended November 2, 2019 is based on our effective tax rate of 13.7%. The adjustment for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 is based on an adjusted tax rate of 20.8%, which excludes the tax impact associated with the non-cash compensation charge related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020 and the Waterworks reporting unit tradename impairment recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adjustment for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 is based on an adjusted tax rate of 18.6%, which is calculated using a 21% normalized tax rate for the three months ended May 4, 2019 and August 3, 2019, and the effective tax rate of 13.7% for the three months ended November 2, 2019.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define EBITDA as consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense—net and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of non-cash compensation, as well as certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are included in this filing because management believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions for other companies due to different methods of calculation. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated below.

Net revenues

Consolidated net revenues increased $166.5 million, or 24.6%, to $844.0 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $677.5 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2020 were negatively impacted by $0.8 million related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls. RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended November 2, 2019 were favorably impacted by $0.8 million related to product recalls. Excluding the product recall adjustments, consolidated net revenues increased $168.1 million, or 24.8%, to $844.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $676.7 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019. Product recalls and the establishment or adjustment of any related recall accruals can affect our results and cause quarterly fluctuations affecting the period-to-period comparisons of our results. No assurance can be provided that any accruals will be for the appropriate amount, and actual losses could be higher or lower than what we accrue from time to time, which could further affect results.

RH Segment net revenues

RH Segment net revenues increased $167.4 million, or 25.9%, to $812.8 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $645.4 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that resulted in an increase in RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.

Table of Contents

RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2020 was driven primarily by a strong increase in customer demand for our products during the three months ended October 31, 2020. The growth in revenue was lower than the growth in customer demand for our products during the three month period primarily due to the effects of increased demand on our supply chain. It may take several quarters for inventory receipts and manufacturing to catch up to the increase in customer demand.

Waterworks net revenues

Waterworks net revenues decreased $0.9 million, or 2.9%, to $31.2 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $32.1 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 primarily due to construction delays, which negatively impacted demand, as well as temporary showroom COVID-19 related closures.

Gross profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $124.2 million, or 43.7%, to $408.3 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $284.2 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 6.5% to 48.4% of net revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2020 from 41.9% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

RH Segment gross profit

RH Segment gross profit increased $124.0 million, or 45.8%, to $394.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $270.7 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin increased 6.7% to 48.6% of net revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2020 from 41.9% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended October 31, 2020 was negatively impacted by $0.8 million related to product recalls and RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended November 2, 2019 was favorably impacted by $1.8 million related to reserve adjustments associated with product recalls initiated in prior years.

Excluding the product recall adjustments mentioned above, RH Segment gross margin would have increased 6.9% to 48.6% of net revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2020 from 41.7% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by price increases and product mix, as well as higher product margins in select categories in our Core business. Additionally, we had lower Outlet promotional activity during the period and experienced leverage in our RH Segment occupancy costs.

Waterworks gross profit

Waterworks gross profit increased $0.2 million, or 1.5%, to $13.6 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $13.4 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin increased 1.9% to 43.7% of net revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2020 from 41.8% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $102.2 million, or 52.4%, to $297.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $194.9 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019, primarily due to a non-cash compensation of $111.2 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $103.4 million, or 56.7%, to $285.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared $182.3 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

Table of Contents

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2020 includes a non-cash compensation of $111.2 million due to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, $1.3 million due to accelerated asset depreciation and $0.8 million due to asset impairments. RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 2, 2019 include reorganization related costs of $1.1 million and asset impairments of $1.0 million, partially offset by gain of $1.5 million related to a sale leaseback transaction, gain on asset held for sale of $0.3 million and $0.3 million related to product recalls.

Excluding the option grant made to Mr. Friedman, accelerated asset depreciation, asset impairments, reorganization costs, gain on sale leaseback transaction and product recalls mentioned above, RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.2% and 28.2% of net revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by a reduction in advertising costs due to our decision to not mail the Fall 2020 Source Books, leverage in employment and employment related costs, and travel related expenses, partially offset by increased professional fees, incremental COVID-19 related expenses, preopening costs and other corporate expenses.

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 9.4%, to $11.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $12.6 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt—net

We did not incur any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended October 31, 2020. We incurred a $6.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended November 2, 2019 primarily due to the repayment in full of the Second Lien Term Loan in September 2019, which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $4.0 million and acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.7 million. Additionally, $0.2 million of accelerated debt issuance costs were recorded related to the early repayment of a portion of the FILO term loan in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $49.2 million and $8.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 51.4% and 13.7% for the three months ended

Table of Contents

October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was significantly impacted by non-deductible stock-based compensation and lower discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation in the three months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended November 2, 2019.

Net revenues

Consolidated net revenues increased $53.7 million, or 2.7%, to $2,036.2 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $1,982.5 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

RH Segment net revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 were negatively impacted by $1.2 million related to product recalls. RH Segment net revenues for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 were favorably impacted by $0.4 million related to product recalls.

Excluding the product recall adjustments, consolidated net revenues increased $55.3 million, or 2.8%, to $2,037.4 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $1,982.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. Product recalls and the establishment or adjustment of any related recall accruals can affect our results and cause quarterly fluctuations affecting the period-to-period comparisons of our results. No assurance can be provided that any accruals will be for the appropriate amount, and actual losses could be higher or lower than what we accrue from time to time, which could further affect results.

RH Segment net revenues

RH Segment net revenues increased $67.7 million, or 3.6%, to $1,949.1 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $1,881.4 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that resulted in an increase in RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.

RH Segment net revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 increased due to strong customer demand for our products primarily during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, offsetting the negative impact to overall customer demand in our business due to macroeconomic conditions resulting from COVID-19 primarily during March and April of 2020. Outlet sales decreased $43.6 million to $126.6 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $170.2 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 due to COVID-19 related closures and a reduction in promotional activity. RH Segment net revenues also decreased in our Contract business and RH Hospitality operations due to COVID-19 related factors including a slowdown in commercial purchasing activities, as well as closures and reduced capacity in our RH Hospitality locations.

Waterworks net revenues

Waterworks net revenues decreased $14.0 million, or 13.8%, to $87.1 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $101.0 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 primarily due to construction delays, which negatively impacted demand, as well as temporary showroom COVID-19 related closures.

Gross profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $128.5 million, or 15.8%, to $940.4 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from $811.9 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 5.2% to 46.2% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from 41.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

RH Segment gross profit for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 was negatively impacted by $5.6 million related to product recalls and includes inventory reserves of $2.4 million related to Outlet inventory buildup resulting from retail closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. RH Segment gross profit for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 was negatively impacted by $4.9 million related to the acceleration of depreciation due to a change in the estimated useful lives of certain assets and was favorably impacted by $3.8 million related to reserve adjustments associated with product recalls initiated in prior years.

Excluding the product recall, inventory reserves and accelerated depreciation adjustments mentioned above, consolidated gross margin would have increased 5.5% to 46.5% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from 41.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

RH Segment gross profit

RH Segment gross profit increased $133.8 million, or 17.4%, to $902.9 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from $769.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin increased 5.4% to 46.3% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from 40.9% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

Excluding the product recall, inventory reserves and acceleration of depreciation adjustments mentioned above, RH Segment gross margin would have increased 5.7% to 46.7% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from 41.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by price increases and product mix, as well as higher product margins in select categories in our Core business. Additionally, we had lower Outlet promotional activity during the period and experienced leverage in our RH Segment occupancy costs.

Waterworks gross profit

Waterworks gross profit decreased $5.3 million, or 12.5%, to $37.5 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from $42.8 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin increased 0.6% to 43.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from 42.4% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $107.1 million, or 19.5%, to $657.2 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $550.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019, primarily due to a non-cash compensation of $111.2 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $110.3 million, or 21.6%, to $620.4 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $510.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 includes a non-cash compensation of $111.2 million due to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, loss of $9.4 million related to a sale leaseback transaction, $7.0 million related to severance costs and related payroll taxes associated with the termination of associates and a reorganization undertaken in response to the impact of retail closures on our business, $5.6 million related to asset impairments and $3.9 million due to accelerated asset depreciation.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 included asset impairments of $2.1 million and reorganization related costs of $1.1 million, partially offset by gain of $1.5 million related to a sale leaseback transaction, a favorable $1.2 million legal settlement related to historical freight charges, gain on asset held for sale of $0.3 million and $0.2 million related to product recalls.

Excluding the option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, gain and loss on sale leaseback transactions, reorganization costs, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, gain on asset held for sale, legal settlement and product recall adjustments mentioned above, RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.9% and 27.1% of net revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by a reduction in advertising costs due to our decision to not mail the Fall 2020 Source Books, leverage in employment and employment related costs, and travel related expenses, partially offset by increased professional fees, incremental COVID-19 related expenses and credit card fees.

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 8.1%, to $36.7 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to $40.0 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 included $1.6 million related to asset impairments. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses were 40.4% and 39.6% of net revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively, excluding the asset impairments.

(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt—net

We recognized a $0.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 related to the maturity and settlement of the 2020 Notes in July 2020. We incurred a $5.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 primarily due to the repayment in full of the Second Lien Term Loan in September 2019, which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $4.0 million and acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.7 million. In addition, we recognized a $1.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 due to the maturity and settlement of the 2019 Notes in June 2019 and a $0.2 million loss due to accelerated debt issuance costs related to the early repayment of a portion of the FILO term loan.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $66.6 million and $36.8 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 32.0% and 19.5% for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was significantly impacted by non-deductible stock-based compensation and higher discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The primary cash needs of our business have historically been for merchandise inventories, payroll, Source Books, store rent, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and updating existing stores, as well as the development of our infrastructure and information technology. We seek out and evaluate opportunities for effectively managing and deploying capital in ways that improve working capital and support and enhance our business initiatives and strategies. In fiscal 2017, we completed two share repurchase programs in an aggregate amount of $1 billion. A $300 million share repurchase was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and a $700 million share repurchase was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. In October 2018, our Board of Directors approved a new $700 million share repurchase program, of which $250 million in share repurchases were completed in fiscal 2018, and the $700 million authorization amount was replenished by the Board of Directors in March 2019. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $250 million, with $450 million still available under the $700 million repurchase program. Refer to “Share Repurchase Programs” below. We evaluate our capital allocation from time to time and may engage in future share repurchases in circumstances where buying shares of our common stock represents a good value and provides a favorable return for our shareholders.

We have $685 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding as of October 31, 2020, of which $335 million mature in June 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and $350 million mature in September 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). Based on the anticipated strong cash flow generation in 2020 and beyond, we expect to repay the outstanding principal amount of our convertible notes at maturity in June 2023 and September 2024 in cash, in each case to minimize dilution. While we purchased convertible note hedges and sold warrants with respect to each convertible note transaction, which are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2024 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $338.24 per share and from the conversion of the 2023 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $309.84 per share, our shareholders may still experience dilution to the extent our common stock trades above such levels. While we anticipate using excess cash, free cash flow and borrowings on our asset based credit facility to repay the convertible notes in cash to minimize dilution, we may need to pursue additional sources of liquidity to repay such convertible notes in cash at their respective maturity dates or upon early conversion, as applicable. There can be no assurance as to the availability of capital to fund such repayments, or that if capital is available through additional debt issuances or refinancing of the convertible notes, that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to us.

Our business has historically relied on cash flows from operations, net cash proceeds from the issuance of the convertible senior notes, as well as borrowings under our credit facilities as our primary sources of liquidity. We believe our operating cash flows, in conjunction with available financing arrangements, will be sufficient to repay our debt

Table of Contents

obligations as they become due, meet working capital requirements and fulfill other capital needs for more than the next 12 months.

During the second and third fiscal quarters of 2020 we have resumed many investments and previously deferred expenditures, but we anticipate that our decisions regarding these matters will continue to evolve in response to changing business circumstances including further developments with respect to COVID-19. We will continue to closely manage our expenses and investments while considering both the overall economic environment as well as the needs of our business operations. In addition, our near term decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital in our business will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business related to the impact of COVID-19.

In recognition of the significant threat to economic conditions and the liquidity of financial markets posed by COVID-19, the Federal Reserve and Congress have taken dramatic actions to provide liquidity to businesses and the banking system in the U.S. For example, on March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), a sweeping stimulus bill intended to bolster the U.S. economy, among other things, and provide emergency assistance to qualifying businesses and individuals. There can be no assurance that these interventions by the government will be successful, and the financial markets may experience significant contractions in available liquidity. While we may receive financial, tax or other relief and other benefits under and as a result of the CARES Act, it is not possible to estimate at this time the availability, extent or impact of any future relief.

We extended and amended our asset based credit facility in June 2017, which has a total availability of $600 million, of which $10 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600 million to up to $800 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. The revolving line of credit has a maturity date of June 28, 2022.

In fiscal 2019 we executed a sale-leaseback transaction for the Yountville Design Gallery for sales proceeds of $23.5 million and in July 2020 we executed a sale-leaseback transaction for the Minneapolis Design Gallery for sales proceeds of $25.5 million, both of which qualified for sale-leaseback accounting in accordance with ASC 842. We may pursue strategies in the future, through the use of existing assets and debt facilities, or through the pursuit of new external sources of liquidity and debt financing, to fund our strategies to enhance stockholder value. There can be no assurance that additional capital, whether raised through the sale of assets, utilization of our existing debt financing sources, or pursuit of additional debt financing sources, will be available to us on a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we pursue additional debt as a source of liquidity, our capitalization profile may change and may include significant leverage, and as a result we may be required to use future liquidity to repay such indebtedness and may be subject to additional terms and restrictions which affect our operations and future uses of capital.

In addition, our capital needs and uses of capital may change in the future due to changes in our business or new opportunities that we choose to pursue. We have invested significant capital expenditures in remodeling and opening new Design Galleries, and these capital expenditures have increased in the past and may continue to increase in future periods as we open additional Design Galleries, which may require us to undertake upgrades to historical buildings or construction of new buildings.

Our adjusted capital expenditures include (i) capital expenditures from investing activities and (ii) cash outflows of capital related to construction activities to design and build landlord leased assets, net of tenant allowances received. Given the pace at which business conditions are evolving in response to the COVID-19 health crisis, we may adjust our investments in various business initiatives including our capital expenditures through the remainder of fiscal 2020 and over the course of fiscal 2021. We anticipate our adjusted capital expenditures, net of asset sales, to be $140 million to

Table of Contents

$160 million in fiscal 2020, primarily related to our efforts to continue our growth and expansion, including construction of new Design Galleries and infrastructure investments. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, adjusted capital expenditures were $116.7 million, net of cash received related to landlord tenant allowances of $10.2 million. Our fiscal 2020 adjusted capital expenditures are partially offset by net proceeds from sales of assets of $25.0 million.

Certain lease arrangements require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs through payments directly to us. Other lease arrangements for our new Design 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, under these arrangements we do not expect to receive contributions directly from our landlords related to the building of our Design Galleries. As we develop new Galleries, as well as other potential strategic initiatives in the future like our integrated hospitality experience, we may explore other models for our real estate, which could include longer lease terms or further purchases of, or joint ventures or other forms of equity ownership in, real estate interests associated with new sites and buildings. These approaches might require greater capital investment on our part than a traditional store lease with a landlord. We also believe there is an opportunity to transition our real estate strategy from a leasing model to a development model, where we potentially buy and develop our Design Galleries then recoup the investments through a sale-leaseback arrangement resulting in lower capital investment and lower rent. For example, we have used this strategy in fiscal 2019 through the sale-leaseback transaction for the Yountville Design Gallery and in July 2020 through the sale-leaseback transaction for the Minneapolis Design Gallery. In the event that such capital and other expenditures require us to pursue additional funding sources, we can provide no assurances that we will be successful in securing additional funding on attractive terms or at all.

In addition, we continue to address the effects of COVID-19 on our business with respect to real estate development and the introduction of new Galleries in both the US and internationally. A range of factors involved in the development of new Gallery and RH Hospitality may be affected by the COVID-19 health crisis including delays in construction as well as permitting and other necessary governmental actions. In addition, the scope and cadence of investments by third parties including landlords and other real estate counterparties may be adversely affected by the health crisis. Actions taken by international as well as federal, state and local government authorities, and in some instances mall and shopping center owners, in response to the outbreak, may require changes to our real estate strategy and related capital expenditure and financing plans. In addition, we may continue to be required to make lease payments in whole or in part for our Galleries, restaurants and outlets that were temporarily closed or are required to close in the future in the event of future COVID-19 outbreaks or for other reasons. Any efforts to mitigate the costs of construction delays and deferrals, retail closures and other operational difficulties, including any such difficulties resulting from COVID-19, such as by negotiating with landlords and other third parties regarding the timing and amount of payments under existing contractual arrangements, may not be successful, and as a result, our real estate strategy may have ongoing significant liquidity needs even as we make changes to our planned operations and expansion cadence.

There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient financial resources, or will be able to arrange financing on favorable terms to the extent necessary to fund all of our initiatives, or that sufficient incremental debt will be available to us in order to fund our cash payments in respect of the repayment of our outstanding convertible senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $685 million at maturity of such senior convertible notes. To the extent we need to secure additional sources of liquidity, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise necessary funds on favorable terms, if at all, or that future financing requirements would not require us to raise money through an equity financing or by other means that could be dilutive to holders of our capital stock. Any adverse developments in the U.S. or global credit markets as a result of COVID-19 could affect our ability to manage our debt obligations and our ability to access future debt. In addition, agreements governing existing or new debt facilities may restrict our ability to operate our business in the manner we currently expect or to make required payments with respect to existing commitments including the repayment of the principal amount of our convertible senior notes in cash upon maturity of such senior notes. To the extent we need to seek waivers from any provider of debt financing, or we fail to observe the covenants or other requirements of existing or new debt facilities, any such event could have an impact on our other commitments and obligations including triggering cross defaults or other consequences with respect to other indebtedness. Our current level of indebtedness, and any additional indebtedness that we may incur, exposes us to certain risks with regards to interest rate increases and fluctuations. Our ability to make interest payments or to refinance any of our indebtedness to manage such interest rates may be limited or negatively affected by credit market conditions, macroeconomic trends and other risks.

The $350.0 million 2019 Notes matured in June 2019, of which $278.6 million is presented within net cash used in financing activities and $70.5 million is reflected as non-cash accretion of debt discount upon settlement of debt presented in net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash used in financing activities included repurchases of approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $250.0 million, as well as net repayments of $57.5 million under the asset based credit facility. Net cash used in financing activities include borrowings under a $350.0 million convertible senior notes agreement issued in September 2019, which provided net proceeds of $304.1 million after taking into consideration the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, as well as discounts upon original issuance and offering costs. Borrowings under finance arrangements also include net borrowings under the FILO term loan of $90.0 million, $58.7 million of promissory notes secured by certain equipment, and $30.0 million related to a promissory note on an asset under construction.

Non-Cash Transactions

Non-cash transactions primarily consist of non-cash additions of property and equipment and landlord assets, and reclassifications of assets from landlord assets from construction to finance lease right-of-use assets.

Share Repurchase Programs

We regularly review share repurchase activity and consider various factors in determining whether and when to execute share repurchases, including, among others, current cash needs, capacity for leverage, cost of borrowings, results of operations and the market price of our common stock. We believe that these share repurchase programs will continue to be an excellent allocation of capital for the long-term benefit of our shareholders. We may undertake other repurchase programs in the future with respect to our securities.

Table of Contents

We generated $330 million, $163 million and $415 million in free cash flow in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively, which supported our share repurchase programs. Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities, the non-cash accretion of debt discount upon settlement of debt and proceeds from sale of assets, less capital expenditures and principal payments under finance leases. Free cash flow excludes all non-cash items. Free cash flow is included in this filing because management believes that free cash flow provides meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a meaningful evaluation of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. A reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is as follows:


	Year Ended
	February 2,		February 2,		February 3,
	2020		2019		2018

$950 Million Share Repurchase Program

On October 10, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $700 million through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b18 open market repurchases, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as accelerated share repurchases including through privately-negotiated arrangements in which a portion of the share repurchase program is committed in advance through a financial intermediary and/or in transactions involving hedging or derivatives, of which $250.0 million in share repurchases were completed in fiscal 2018. The $700 million authorization amount was replenished by the Board of Directors on March 25, 2019 (as replenished, the “$950 Million Repurchase Program”). We did not make any repurchases under this program during the nine months ended October 31, 2020. During the nine months ended November 2, 2019, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $115.36 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $250.0 million under this share repurchase program. As of October 31, 2020, there was $450 million remaining for future share repurchases under this program.

Contractual Obligations

As of October 31, 2020, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations described within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations in the 2019 Form 10-K other than lease agreements entered into in the normal course of business (refer to Note 8—Leases).

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of October 31, 2020.

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. We evaluate our accounting policies, estimates, and judgments on an on-going basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

We evaluate the development and selection of our critical accounting policies and estimates and believe that certain of our significant accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity and are most significant to reporting our consolidated results of operations and financial position, and are therefore discussed as critical:

●

Merchandise Inventories—Reserves

●

Impairment

Tradenames, Trademarks and Domain Names

Long-Lived Assets

●

Lease Accounting

Reasonably Certain Lease Term

Incremental Borrowing Rate

Fair Market Value

There have been no material changes to the other critical accounting policies and estimates listed above from the disclosures included in the 2019 Form 10-K other than the stock-based compensation policy discussed below. 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 2019 Form 10-K.

Stock-Based Compensation – Performance-Based Awards

For awards with performance-based criteria, compensation expense is recognized on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of each performance-based option award granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model that requires the input of subjective assumptions regarding the future exercise behavior, expected volatility and a discount for illiquidity. We determined these assumptions based on consideration of (i) future exercise behavior based on the historical observed exercise pattern of the award recipient, (ii) expected volatility based on our historical observed common stock prices measured over the full trading history of our common stock and implied volatility based on 180-day average trading prices of our common stock, and (iii) a discount for illiquidity estimated using the Finnerty method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards in our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently proposed accounting standards that may impact our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks

Interest Rate Risk

We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging activity and we have no intention to do so in the foreseeable future.

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under our revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement that bears interest at variable rates and we may incur additional indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. As of October 31, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under the revolving line of credit. The Credit Agreement provides for a borrowing amount based on the value of eligible collateral and a formula linked to certain borrowing percentages based on certain categories of collateral. Under the terms of such provisions, the amount under the revolving line of credit borrowing base that could be available pursuant to the Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2020 was $316.4 million, net of $14.6 million in outstanding letters of credit. Based on the average interest rate on the revolving line of credit during the three months ended October 31, 2020, and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding on such line of credit, 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. To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, we may increase our exposure to risk from interest rate fluctuations.

Table of Contents

A number of our current debt agreements, including the Credit Agreement, have an interest rate tied to LIBOR, which is expected to be discontinued after 2021. A number of alternatives to LIBOR have been proposed or are being developed, but it is not clear which, if any, will be adopted. Any of these alternative methods may result in interest payments that are higher than expected or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such indebtedness for the interest periods if the applicable LIBOR rate was available in its current form.

As of October 31, 2020, we had $335 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 outstanding (the “2023 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.

As of October 31, 2020, we had $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 outstanding (the “2024 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 2020

In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The 2020 Notes matured on July 15, 2020, and the convertible note hedge terminated upon the maturity date 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 warrants will expire through January 2021. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $189.00 per share. Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

In connection with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions relate to, collectively, 1.7 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2023 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2023 Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2023 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2023 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 $309.84 per share. Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions relate to, collectively, 1.7 million shares of our common stock, which represents the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2024 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2024 Notes. These convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential earnings dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2024 Notes and/or reduce our exposure to potential cash or stock payments that may be required upon conversion of the 2024 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 $338.24 per share. Refer to Note 9—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

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2020 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, as well as securities class action litigation. Such legal proceedings may include claims related to our employment practices, wage and hour claims, claims of intellectual property infringement, including with respect to trademarks and trade dress, claims asserting unfair competition and unfair business practices, claims with respect to our collection and sale of reproduction products, and consumer class action claims relating to our consumer practices 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 regarding certain pending securities litigation, refer to Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements within Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results or cash flows. For a detailed discussion of risks that affect our business, refer to the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 (“2019 Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended May 2, 2020 and August 1, 2020 (collectively, “2020 Form 10-Qs”).

The risks described herein and those described in our 2019 Form 10-K and in our 2020 Form 10-Qs are not the only risks we face. We describe in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report certain known trends and uncertainties that affect our business. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. We have identified additional material changes to our risk factors set forth below.

Risks Related to Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic poses significant and widespread risks to our business as well as to the business environment and the markets in which we operate.

The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) and resulting health crisis had an immediate and widespread impact on our customers, our business environment, the economic climate in the U.S. and globally, and financial and consumer markets. The initial wave of the COVID-19 outbreak caused disruption to our business operations, as we temporarily closed all of our retail locations on March 17, 2020 in response to the public health crisis. While our retail locations were substantially closed at the end of the first fiscal quarter on May 2, 2020, during the second fiscal quarter we had reopened substantially all of our retail locations. As of the end of the third fiscal quarter on October 31, 2020 we had reopened all of our Galleries and Outlets and 8 out of 10 of our restaurants. During the time period of October through early December 2020, there has been a spike in reported COVID-19 cases in various parts of both the U.S. and Canada. The recent surge in cases has led to the imposition of increasing levels of restriction on our physical operations with respect to Galleries, Outlets and restaurants. These limitations include restrictions on the level of occupancy that is permitted in some locations as well as full closure requirements for other locations. Although we

Table of Contents

have experienced strong demand for our products in connection with prior closure requirements earlier in this year, our overall demand in specific markets correlates favorably with our customers’ ability to access our Galleries and Outlets. Accordingly, we do anticipate some negative impact to overall demand in connection the restrictions on our physical locations and the duration and extent of these operational limits cannot be predicted with certainty.

Volatility in consumer demand and sentiment as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve can also expose us to risks in our operations. In our immediate response to COVID-19, we aggressively scaled back some inventory orders while we assessed the status of our business. While our business strengthened during the second and third fiscal quarters, the lag in inventory receipts together with dislocations in our supply chain has resulted in some delays in our ability to convert business demand into revenues. In addition, our near term decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital in our business will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business related to the impact of COVID-19. The global scale and scope of COVID-19 is unknown and the duration of the business disruption is uncertain. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including developing information concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain COVID-19.

We may face operational restrictions with respect to some or all of our physical locations for prolonged periods of time due to, among other factors, evolving international, federal, state and local restrictions, standards and safety regulations including recommendations related to “social distancing.” Public health officials and other governmental authorities have adopted numerous mitigation measures to address the spread of the virus, and in particular to discourage people from congregating in public, commercial or private spaces. Federal, state and local authorities in the U.S. and Canada have implemented a number of different directives that may require changes in our business practices. The scope and duration of these directives is evolving and not entirely clear. In response to current or future COVID-19 outbreaks or other concerns, states and municipalities in the U.S. where we operate may implement or reinstate temporary closure requirements with respect to non-essential business operations and the duration of these requirements is unknown. Governmental restrictions applicable to our restaurants have different terms and conditions than those that apply to our Galleries. For example, in most of our retail locations that have reopened, the substantial operational restrictions related to COVID-19 health and safety considerations, such as limits to seating capacity, that were imposed on our hospitality business by various governmental authorities remain in place. Such operational restrictions may cause our hospitality offerings to be less attractive to customers or may lower its margins and profitability. Many of our Galleries are located in malls or otherwise located in proximity to a number of other retail stores. Mall operators and other retailers have imposed, and may continue to impose, additional health and safety practices and procedures and may in the future elect to temporarily cease operations in response to renewed or localized outbreaks.

In addition, new regulation or requirements that governmental authorities may impose with respect to the compensation of our employees or the manner or location in which our employees may work, could also have an adverse effect on our business. At various times since the beginning of the pandemic, substantially all of our management personnel, including those in our corporate office in Corte Madera, CA, have been subject to state and local shelter-in-place requirements, which have varied over time and which have resulted in most of our management team being required to work remotely. These working arrangements as well as other related restrictions including severe limitations on travel may have an impact on our operations and management effectiveness. Although we have technology and other resources to support these new work requirements, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer material risks to our business, operations, productivity and results of operations as a result of these restrictions. If a significant percentage of

Table of Contents

our workforce is unable to work, including because of illness or travel or government restrictions in connection with COVID-19, our operations may be negatively impacted, potentially materially adversely affecting our business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

The evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world may continue to have an adverse impact on elements of our supply chain including the manufacture, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products and our inventory levels. There have been substantial disruptions that have already occurred with respect to the global supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 health crisis. Our business depends on the successful operation of a global supply chain. Based on total dollar volume of purchases for fiscal 2019, approximately 70% of our products were sourced from Asia (including a substantial portion from China), 16% from the United States and the remainder from other countries and regions. Although China was at the center of the initial outbreak of COVID-19, the health crisis has spread throughout the world. The presence of the virus and the response to the health crisis in various countries is likely to have a continuing impact on our supply chain, for example by affecting the speed at which the factories that manufacture our products are able to resume normal operations and production levels after initial or subsequent waves of closures, and the extent that the health crisis may abate in particular countries is uncertain.

Given the pace at which business conditions are evolving in response to the COVID-19 health crisis, we may adjust our investments in various business initiatives including our capital expenditures through the remainder of fiscal 2020 and over the course of fiscal 2021. If we are not able to access capital at the time and on terms that our business requires, we may encounter difficulty funding our business requirements including debt repayments when due. We may not be able to access liquidity or the terms and conditions of available credit may be substantially more expensive than previously expected due to changes in financial conditions and credit markets. We may require waivers or amendments to our existing credit facilities and these requirements may trigger pricing increases from lenders for available credit. If we are not able to access credit to fund our business requirements for liquidity, or the cost of available credit increases, we may need to curtail our business operations including various business initiatives that require capital investment. We have recently commenced an effort to expand our business internationally by establishing a new retail presence in global markets including Europe and the United Kingdom. The impact of COVID-19 abroad, including travel restrictions imposed by various countries, may continue to affect certain aspects of our planned international expansion and has been a major factor in our decision to delay in the timing of our previous plans to open new international locations in 2021. In addition, we are in the process of developing a number of new Gallery locations in the U.S. Counterparties with respect to some of our Gallery development projects may experience capital or liquidity constraints due to COVID-19 related difficulties, which may impact the timing or scope of some of our development projects. In addition, our RH Guesthouse initiative may be negatively impacted by the disease outbreak as international, federal, state and local governments have restricted travel, conferences, events and gatherings. Any reductions in our liquidity position and the need to use capital for other day-to-day requirements of our business could affect a number of our business initiatives and long-term investments and as a result we may be required to curtail and/or postpone business investments including those related to international expansion, the pace of opening new Galleries in the U.S. as well as other initiatives that require capital investment.

Our business also depends on a number of third parties including vendors, landlords, lenders and other suppliers. One or more of these third parties may experience financial distress, staffing shortages or liquidity challenges, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The health crisis, resulting deterioration in financial markets and overall economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of third parties that are essential to our business operations and we may incur losses and other negative impacts for difficulties experienced by our vendors and other third parties.

The magnitude and duration of the negative impact to general economic and market conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be predicted with certainty, and there can be no assurance that the pace of economic activity in the wake of COVID-19 outbreaks will not have a negative impact on our business. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have had an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as the business climate in our primary consumer markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our business also depends to some extent on conditions in financial markets. We have determined that our customer purchasing patterns are influenced by economic factors including the health and volatility of the stock market. We have seen that previous downturns in the stock market have been correlated with a reduction in consumer demands for our products. The timing, magnitude and duration of disruptions of financial markets and weakening of overall economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown, and the precise impact of such trends on our business is also unknown. Uncertainties regarding the economic impact of the COVID-19

Table of Contents

pandemic have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, sustained impact on the economy. Our business is particularly sensitive to reductions in discretionary consumer spending, which may be adversely impacted by a recession or fears of a recession, volatility and declines in the stock market and increasingly pessimistic consumer sentiment due to perceived or actual economic and/or health risks.
