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

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

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

●

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.

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

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.

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

There were no purchases, sales, issuances, or settlements related to recurring level 3 measurements during the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017 or October 29, 2016. There were no transfers into or out of level 1 and level 2 during the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017 or October 29, 2016.

~~Fair Value of Financial Instruments~~—Recurring

The estimated fair value of the LILO term loan is $80.0 million, which approximates cost, as of October 28, 2017. Fair value approximates cost as the interest rate associated with the facility is variable and resets frequently.

NOTE ~~12—~~11—INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of ~~$6.2~~$16.7 million and ~~$1.8~~$2.5 million in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 and ~~October 29, 2016,~~August 4, 2018, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of ~~$9.9~~$28.5 million and ~~an income tax benefit of $2.6~~$10.1 million in the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 and ~~October 29, 2016,~~August 4, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate was ~~32.1%~~20.7% and ~~41.4%~~3.9% for the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 and ~~October 29, 2016,~~August 4, 2018, respectively.

As of February 2, 2019, the Company had $8.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which as$7.3 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 ~~both October 28, 2017 and January 28, 2017, $1.4 million is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In October 2017,~~August 3, 2019, the Company ~~filed an amended federal tax return claiming a $5.4~~had $0.4 million ~~refund, however, no income tax benefit was recorded during the three months ended October 28, 2017 given the technical nature and amount~~ of the refund claim. An income tax benefit related to this refund claim could be recorded in a future period upon settlement with the respective taxing authority. As of October 28, 2017, the Company does not have any exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months.

NOTE ~~15—~~14—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company estimates the value of equity grants based upon an option-pricing model (“OPM”) and recognizes this estimated value as compensation expense over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes expense associated with performance-based awards when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. Once it becomes probable that an award will vest, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the number of shares which are probable to vest multiplied by the fair value of the related shares measured at the grant date.

Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of ~~operations.~~income. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of ~~$6.7~~$5.3 million and ~~$7.4~~$6.1 million during the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 and ~~October 29, 2016,~~August 4, 2018, respectively.

~~Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Option Grant~~

~~On May 2, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors granted Mr. Friedman an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price equal to $50 per share.~~

The option contains dual-condition restrictions consisting of both time-based service restrictions over four years and performance-based restrictions linked to achieving the Company’s common stock price objectives of $100, $125 and $150 per share. The option is fully 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 resulted in a one-time non-cash stock compensation charge of $23.9 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017. The Company did not record any expense related to this grant in the three months ended October 28, 2017.

~~Time-Based Restrictions~~

The time-based restrictions are measured over an initial four year service period from the date of the award and these restrictions will lapse at the end of each of these first four years at a rate of 250,000 shares per year if (i) Mr. Friedman remains employed at the end of such year, and (ii) the stock price goals have been achieved in such year as described further below.

~~Performance-Based Restrictions~~

The stock price objectives are measured each year and are set at prices for the Company’s common stock of $100, $125 and $150 per share. If all three stock price objectives are met in the first performance year, restrictions will lapse as to 250,000 shares in aggregate at the end of such year, with 83,333 shares tied to a $100 price per share, 83,333 shares tied to a $125 price per share and 83,334 shares tied to a $150 price per share.

The same price performance tests are applied in the second year of performance such that restrictions will lapse for an additional 250,000 shares at the end of the second year and then again as to an additional 250,000 shares at the end of each of the third and fourth years so long as Mr. Friedman remains employed at the end of each year.

To the extent that any of the price performance objectives is not reached within one of these first four performance years, the stock price objective can be achieved in any subsequent year until the 8th anniversary of the date of grant.

~~2012 Stock Incentive Plan Grant to Waterworks Associates~~

On May 27, 2016, on the date of our acquisition of Waterworks, the Company granted stock options to certain Waterworks associates under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 322,784 shares of its common stock, with an exercise price of $33.54 per share, which is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These options are fully vested as of the date of grant but any shares issued upon exercise of such options will be subject to selling restrictions which are scheduled to lapse in five equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The fully vested options resulted in a one-time non-cash stock-based compensation charge of $3.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

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 ~~operations.~~income. The fair value of the Appreciation Rights is determined based on an ~~option pricing method (“OPM”).~~OPM. The Company did not record any expense related to the Appreciation Rights during both the three ~~or nine~~and six months ended ~~October 28, 2017 or October 29, 2016.~~August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018.

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 ~~operations.~~income. The fair value of the Profit Interests is determined based on an OPM. For both the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~October 28, 2017,~~August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018, the Company recorded $0.1 million ~~and $0.3 million, respectively,~~ related to the Profit Interests, which is

The amount of the deposit is immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~NOTE 17—~~15—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company had no0 material off balance sheet commitments as of ~~October 28, 2017.~~August 3, 2019.

Contingencies

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

The Company reviews the need for any loss contingency reserves and establishes reserves when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that a matter would result in liability, and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Generally, in view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of those matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to reasonably estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no reserve is established until that time. When and to the extent that the Company does 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 the Company accrues from time to time. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of its current matters will not have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~RH Modern~~ 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. ~~The complaints allege, among other things, fraud~~An amended consolidated complaint was filed in ~~connection with alleged misstatements~~June 2017 asserting claims under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as ~~amended.

The ~~claims are currently at~~complaint seeks class certification, monetary damages, and other appropriate relief, including an ~~early stage~~award of costs and ~~it is not possible to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss at this time. An amended consolidated complaint was filed in June 2017 and~~attorneys’ fees. On March 21, 2019, the Company and ~~its officers~~the individual defendants in the case entered into a binding memorandum of understanding to settle the case. The settlement amount is $50 million, which amount is to our understanding covered in full by the Company's insurance policies. 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 is subject to customary conditions including court approval following notice to the Company's 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. A hearing on the settlement is scheduled for October 22, 2019. If a settlement is finally approved by the court, it will resolve all of the claims that were or could have ~~moved~~been brought in the action. As a result of signing the settlement agreement and the potential liability becoming probable and estimable, the Company has recorded a provision for legal settlement and unpaid legal fees for $50.2 million within other current liabilities on the condensed

consolidated balance sheets as of August 3, 2019. Additionally, the Company has recorded a litigation insurance recovery receivable of $50.2 million as of August 3, 2019 within prepaid expense and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which represents the estimated insurance claims proceeds from the Company’s insurance carriers.

23Shareholder 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 RH 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. The Company believes that plaintiffs lack standing to bring this derivative action. On September 28, 2018, the Company filed a motion to stay proceedings and a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. ~~While~~On January 23, 2019, the ~~outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain,~~court granted the ~~Company and its officers intend~~motion to ~~vigorously defend~~stay the ~~claims and believe the complaints lack merit~~.case.

NOTE ~~18—~~16—SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company defines reportable and operating segments on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). The Company has determined that the Chief Executive Officer is its CODM. As of ~~October 28, 2017,~~August 3, 2019, the Company had ~~two~~2 operating segments: RH Segment and Waterworks. The two operating segments include all sales channels accessed by the Company’s customers, including sales through catalogs, sales through the Company’s websites, sales through stores, and sales through the commercial ~~channel~~.channel.

The Company’s 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, the Company has determined that their results cannot be aggregated as they do not share similar economic characteristics, as well as due to other quantitative factors.

The Company uses operating income to evaluate segment profitability. Operating income is defined as net income ~~(loss)~~ before interest expense—net, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt and income ~~taxes.~~tax expense.

Prior to the Waterworks acquisition, the Company had one reportable segment. As the Company’s acquisition of Waterworks was completed on May 27, 2016, reportable segment financial information for Waterworks below represents twenty-two weeks of results for the nine months ended October 29, 2016, whereas the RH Segment results represent thirty-nine weeks for the nine months ended October 29, 2016. The results for both the three months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016 include thirteen weeks for both the RH Segment and Waterworks.

~~NOTE 19—SUBSEQUENT EVENT~~

~~Distribution Center Closures~~35

~~During the third quarter~~Table of fiscal 2017, the Company committed to a plan to close its Mira Loma, CA and Dallas, TX furniture distribution centers by the end of fiscal 2017, prior to the end of the respective lease terms. The Mira Loma, CA distribution center closed in November 2017 and the Dallas, TX distribution center is expected to close by the end of fiscal 2017. During the three months ended October 28, 2017, the Company incurred costs in its RH Segment of $1.9 million associated with the distribution center closures, including $1.4 million of severance which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and $0.5 million of inventory transfers costs which is included in cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of October 28, 2017, the remaining accrual associated with these closures was $1.7 million which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to record additional expenses related to the distribution center closures during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily related to liabilities for lease losses and losses on disposal of capitalized property and equipment. The Company estimates that the remaining charge will be approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million for the Mira Loma, CA distribution center closure. The Company is not currently able to estimate the remaining charge expected to be incurred upon the Dallas, TX distribution center closure due to the uncertainty in the timing and the market rental rates the Company will be able to obtain for a sublease agreement for the space.Contents

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND MARKET DATA

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections ~~relating~~and may relate to our financial condition, results of operations, normalized tax rate, free cash flow, growth, plans, capital expenditures, objectives, future performance and business.

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed ~~assumptions. While~~assumptions we have made in light of our experience in the industry and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe ~~that our assumptions~~ are ~~reasonable,~~reasonable. However, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results ~~and~~including matters that we identify as “short term,” “non-recurring,” “unusual,” “one-time,” or other words and terms of similar meaning may in fact recur in one or more future financial reporting periods. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, include those factors disclosed under the sections entitled Risk Factors in Part II of this quarterly report, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 4, 2019 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”), in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~January 28, 2017~~February 2, 2019 (“~~2016~~2018 Form 10-K”), and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report, in our First Quarter Form 10-Q and in our ~~2016~~2018 Form 10-K.

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, ~~tableware,~~ 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. In 2015 we began to introduce an integrated hospitality experience, including cafés, wine vaults and barista bars, into a number of our new Gallery locations. 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.

Our business is fully integrated across our multiple channels of distribution, consisting of our stores, Source Books and websites.

Table of Contents

As of ~~October 28, 2017,~~August 3, 2019, we operated ~~a total~~the following number of 84 retail Galleries, ~~consisting~~outlets and showrooms:

Key Value Driving Strategies

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

●

Transform Our Real Estate Platform. We believe we have an opportunity to 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 assortment.

New Design Gallery sites are identified based on a variety of factors, such as the availability of suitable new site locations based on several store specific aspects including geographic location, demographics, and proximity to affluent consumers, and the negotiation of favorable economic terms to us for the new location, as well as satisfactory and timely completion of real estate development including procurement of permits and completion of construction. Based on our analysis, we believe we have the opportunity to operate Design Galleries ~~1 RH Modern Gallery and 5 RH Baby & Child Galleries throughout the United States and Canada, and 15 Waterworks showrooms~~in 60 to 70 locations in the United States and Canada. 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.

We opened our Portland Design Gallery in March 2018, our Nashville Design Gallery in June 2018, as well as our New York Design Gallery and our Design Gallery in Yountville, California in the ~~U.K.~~Napa Valley, in September 2018. Our Galleries in Nashville, New York and Yountville include integrated cafés, wine vaults and barista bars.

We have identified key learnings from our real estate transformation that have supported the development of a new multi-tier market approach that we believe will optimize both market share and return on invested capital.

First, we have developed a new RH prototype Design Gallery that is an innovative and flexible blueprint which we believe will enable us to more quickly place our disruptive product assortment and immersive retail experience into the market. The new model is a standard we will utilize in the future that is based on key learnings from our recent Gallery openings and will range in size from 33,000 leased selling square feet inclusive of our integrated hospitality experience to 29,000 leased selling square feet without. These new Galleries will represent our assortments from RH Interiors, Modern, Baby & Child, Teen and Outdoor and contain interior design offices and presentation rooms where design professionals can work with clients on their projects. Due to the reduced square footage compared to our recent Design Gallery openings and efficient design, this new model will be more capital efficient with less time and cost risk, but yield similar productivity. We anticipate the new prototype Design Galleries will represent approximately two thirds of our target markets. Future prototype location examples include Edina, MN, Corte Madera, CA, Columbus, OH and Charlotte, NC.

Second, we will continue to develop and open larger Bespoke Design Galleries in the top metropolitan markets, similar to those we opened in New York and Chicago. These iconic locations are highly profitable statements for our brand, and we believe they create a long-term competitive advantage that will be difficult to duplicate.

Third, we will continue to open indigenous Bespoke Galleries in the best second home markets where the wealthy and affluent visit and vacation. These Galleries are tailored to reflect the local culture and are sized to the potential of each market. Examples of indigenous Bespoke Galleries include the Hamptons, Palm Beach, Yountville and Aspen.

Fourth, we are developing a new Gallery model tailored to secondary markets. Targeted to be 10,000 to 18,000 square feet, we believe these smaller expressions of our brand will enable us to gain share in markets currently only served by smaller competitors. Examples of target secondary markets include Hartford, CT, Oklahoma City, OK and Milwaukee, WI, among others. We expect these Galleries to require a substantially smaller net investment than our larger Design Galleries and to pay back our capital investment within two years in most instances. Our plan is to test a few of these Galleries over the next several years, and if proven successful, this format could lead to an increase in our long-term Gallery targets.

We believe our multi-tier market approach to transforming our real estate will enable us to ramp our opening cadence from 3 to 5 new Galleries per year, to a pace of 5 to 7 new Galleries per year commencing in fiscal 2020.

We continue to evaluate potential opportunities for standalone RH Baby & Child, RH Teen and RH Modern Galleries in select markets.

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. Our three 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 as much as 65% to 100% of the capital requirement would be funded by the landlord, versus 35% to 50% previously.

●

Second, in several of our current projects, we are migrating from a leasing to a development model. We currently have two Galleries, Yountville and Edina, using this new model, and have additional projects in the pipeline. In the case of Yountville and Edina, we expect to complete a sale-leaseback that should allow us to recoup all or a large portion of our capital. In some cases we believe we may be able to pre-sell the property and structure the transaction where the capital to build the project is advanced by the buyer during construction, which could require zero upfront capital from us.

●

Third, we are working on joint venture projects, where we share the upside of a development with the developer/landlord. An example of this new model would be our future Gallery and Guesthouse in Aspen, where we are contributing the value of our lease to the development in exchange for 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 during the first five years. 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.

Expand Our Offering and Increase Our Market Share. We believe we have a significant opportunity to increase our market share by:

●

transforming our real estate platform;

●

growing our merchandise assortment and introducing new products and categories;

●

expanding our service offerings, including design services and cafes, wine vaults and coffee bars at our Design Galleries;

●

exploring and testing new business opportunities complementary to our core business; and

●

increasing our brand awareness and customer loyalty through our Source Book circulation strategy, membership program, our digital marketing initiatives, advertising, and public relations activities and events.

During fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 we deferred the introduction of major new product category expansions other than the ongoing development of RH Hospitality in conjunction with new Design Galleries. In ~~addition,~~fiscal 2019, we have resumed introducing expansions in our merchandise assortment including a number of new merchandise collections in both RH Interiors and RH Modern, as well as the launch of ~~October 28, 2017,~~RH Beach House in the Spring and RH Ski House in the Fall.

We also plan to increase our investment in RH Interior Design in fiscal 2019 with a goal of building the leading interior design firm in North America. We believe there is a significant revenue opportunity by offering world class design and installation services as we ~~operated 31 outlet stores~~move the brand beyond creating and selling products, to conceptualizing and selling spaces.

●

Architect New Operating Platform. We have spent the last three 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.

●

Grow Our Integrated Hospitality Experience. In 2015 we began to introduce an integrated hospitality experience, including cafés, wine vaults and barista bars, 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. 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.

●

Pursue International Expansion. We believe that our luxury brand positioning and unique aesthetic will have strong international appeal. As such, we believe there is tremendous opportunity for the RH brand to expand globally and are currently exploring opportunities for Design Galleries in several locations outside the United States, including the United Kingdom and Europe.

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 2019, 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 membership model 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 in addition to other benefits including complimentary interior design services through the RH Interior Design program and eligibility for

Table of Contents

preferred financing plans on the RH Credit Card, among others. We believe that transitioning our business from a promotional to membership model has enhanced our brand, simplified and streamlined our business as well as allowed us to develop deeper connections with our customers.

●

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 ~~United States~~year as opposed to the peaks and ~~Canada.~~valleys of orders and sales under the prior model.

●

Distribution Center Network Redesign. As a result of our work to redesign our distribution network and optimize inventory, in fiscal 2017 we were able to forego building a fifth furniture distribution center planned to open and consolidate our current furniture distribution center network from four primary locations to two primary locations (Northern California and Baltimore, Maryland area). In fiscal 2017, we completed the closure of our furniture distribution centers in Los Angeles and Dallas, eliminating 1.75 million square feet of distribution center space, resulting in savings in excess of $20 million annually. In fiscal 2018, we completed the closure of a smaller furniture distribution center in Essex, Maryland, eliminating 500,000 square feet of distribution center space, resulting in savings in excess of $5 million annually. We believe managing our business in fewer facilities while decreasing our on-hand inventory will reduce fulfillment complexity, lower inventory transfer costs, increase inventory turns, improve working capital and should result in higher gross margins over time.

●

Reconceptualize Reverse Logistics Business. In fiscal 2017, we implemented initiatives to re-conceptualize our Outlet and reverse logistics business. Previously, returns of furniture would be transferred via our home delivery hubs back to a furniture distribution center, then eventually to one of our Outlet locations. Now, returns of furniture are transferred directly from our home delivery hubs to Outlets, which has reduced transportation and handling costs, and improved selling margins across our Outlet network. We believe this initiative yielded substantial savings and margin enhancement of approximately $20 million annually.

●

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 services levels over 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.

●

Elevate the Customer Experience. 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

Table of Contents

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.

In fiscal ~~2016,~~2017, fiscal 2018 and continuing into fiscal 2019, we ~~experienced a slowdown in sales and substantially lower level of profits than in prior periods. We~~ have undertaken initiatives to specifically address the temporal factors affecting our results in fiscal 2016, in addition to the other numerous initiatives we are undertaking to improve our business and financial performance in fiscal 2017 and beyond. If these initiatives are successful, we may return to rates of growth in revenues and improvements in margins and profitability that are more in line with our historical growth patterns prior to the downturn that we experienced in fiscal 2016. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful or that we will not encounter other operational difficulties during fiscal 2017 and future time periods that may have a negative impact on growth and profitability. For further informationfocused on the ~~temporal factors affecting our results and our initiatives, see~~ ~~Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis~~allocation of ~~Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Key Value Driving Strategies~~ ~~in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and~~ ~~Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting our Results of Operations~~ ~~in our 2016 Form 10-K.~~

~~Over the past 18 months, we transformed our business from a promotional to a membership model~~capital. We believe that ~~is enhancing our brand, streamlining~~ our operations and ~~improving~~current initiatives are providing a significant opportunity to optimize the ~~customer experience. We believe that the transition to a membership model has had a~~

~~favorable impact on~~allocation of capital in our business, including generating free cash flow and ~~financial performance including through a reduction in~~optimizing our ~~return rate, exchange rate~~balance sheet, as well as deploying capital to repay debt and ~~cancel rate resulting in higher conversion of demand into revenues. As of October 28, 2017, we had approximately 380,000 members which drove approximately 95% of sales~~repurchase shares of our ~~core RH business during the three months ended October 28, 2017.~~

~~Simultaneously~~common stock, which we ~~began the redesign of~~believe creates a long-term benefit to our supply chain network, rationalizing our product offerings, and transitioning inventory into fewer facilities, creating a more capital efficient model. As a result, we were able to forego building a fifth furniture distribution center planned to open in 2017 and we expect to consolidate our current furniture distribution center network from four to two locations by the fourth quarter of 2017. We anticipate that managing our business in fewer facilities will reduce inventory risk, increase turns, improve merchandise margins and eliminate the occupancy and overhead of approximately 1.75 million square feet of distribution space.shareholders.

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, ~~and~~ simplify our distribution network and improve our organizational design including by streamlining and realigning our home office operations, as well as to expand our product offering and transform our real ~~estate.~~estate using a range of different models for specific real estate development projects. 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. For example, our efforts to optimize our distribution network could cause us to incur costs and expenses in the short term with respect to changes in the way in which we operate our business. Delays in completion of our real estate development projects or costs overruns could also negatively affect our results of operation. Further, macroeconomic or political events outside of our control could impact our ability to pursue our initiatives or the success of such initiatives. For example, while we believe that the tariffs imposed to date 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 tarriffs 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. In addition, in recent periods the stock market has experienced significant volatility as well as periods of significant decline, which may negatively affect the financial health and demand levels of high-end consumers, and we can provide no assurance as to whether such trends will occur in the future. The housing market is affected by a range of factors including home prices and interest rates and slowdowns in the 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 ~~such as charges related to closure~~is geared toward the higher end of ~~distribution centers.~~the home furnishings market. The above factors and other current and future operational initiatives ~~of the Company~~ may create additional uncertainty with respect to our consolidated net revenues and profit in the near term.

~~Acquisition of Waterworks~~

On May 27, 2016, we acquired a controlling interest in Design Investors WW Acquisition Company, LLC, which owns the business operating under the name “Waterworks,” for consideration consisting of approximately $119.9 million, consisting of $118.4 million funded with available cash and $1.5 million representing the fair value of rollover units, which amount is subject to adjustment for changes in working capital and other items. After the transaction, and giving effect to equity interests acquired by management in the business, we own in excess of 90% of the total equity interests in Waterworks.

Waterworks has long been the definition of the well-appointed bath, and is the only complete bath and kitchen business offering fittings, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, accessories, lighting, hardware and surfaces under one brand in the market. Waterworks is composed of the Waterworks, Waterworks Kitchen and Waterworks Studio brands, all built on a foundation of impeccable style, design integrity, quality and craftsmanship. Waterworks prides itself on its deep relationships in the design community and the technical expertise and tenure of its people.

~~Waterworks products are sold through its 15 showrooms in the United States and in the U.K., as well as through its boutique retail partners, hospitality division and online.~~

~~Key Value Driving Strategies~~

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

~~Transform Our Real Estate Platform.~~ We believe we have an opportunity to significantly increase our sales by transforming our real estate platform from our existing legacy retail footprint to a portfolio of next generation Design Galleries that are sized to the potential of each market and the size of our assortment. New next generation Design Gallery sites are identified based on a variety of factors, including timing of legacy Gallery lease expiration, availability of suitable new site locations, the negotiation of favorable economic terms to the Company for the new location, as well as satisfactory and timely completion of real estate development including procurement of permits and completion of construction. The number of next generation 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. We opened RH Toronto in October 2017 and RH West Palm in November 2017, both with integrated food and beverage offerings, and expect to open at least three Design Galleries in fiscal 2018.

~~Expand Our Offering and Increase Our Market Share.~~ ~~We believe we have a significant opportunity to increase our market share by:~~41

~~growing our merchandise assortment;~~Table of Contents

~~introducing new products and categories, including our introduction of RH Modern, RH TEEN and the addition of the Waterworks business;~~

•

~~expanding our service offerings, including the introduction of the RH Interior Design program and cafes, wine vaults and coffee bars at our next generation Design Galleries;~~

~~exploring and testing new business opportunities complementary to our core business; and~~

~~increasing our brand awareness and customer loyalty through our Source Book circulation strategy, our digital marketing initiatives and our advertising and public relations activities and events.~~

•

~~Elevate the Customer Experience~~. 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 improvements in product quality and enhancements in sourcing, product availability, in-home delivery and all aspects of customer care and service. We have invested significant time in fiscal 2017 architecting a new fully integrated back-end operating platform, inclusive of the supply chain network, the home delivery experience ~~as well as a~~ new metric driven quality system and company-wide decision data. 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 planned launch of an integrated food and beverage experience in a number of our new Galleries,~~ ~~will further~~ ~~enhance our customers’ in-store experience, in addition to allowing us to further disrupt the highly fragmented home furnishings landscape and achieve market share gains.~~

~~Increase Operating Margins.~~ We have the opportunity to continue to improve our operating margins by leveraging our fixed occupancy, advertising and corporate general and administrative costs, as well as leveraging our scalable infrastructure. Key areas in which we believe we will increase operating margins include:

~~Occupancy leverage;~~

~~Advertising cost leverage;~~

~~Improved product margin and shipping efficiencies; and~~

~~Other selling, general and administrative expenses.~~

~~Optimize the Allocation of Capital in the Business.~~ We believe that our operations and current initiatives present a significant opportunity to optimize the allocation of capital in our business, including generating free cash flow and optimizing cash on our balance sheet as well as deploying capital to repurchase shares of our common stock which we believe creates a long term benefit to our shareholders. We have also incurred additional debt to fund a portion of our share repurchase programs and we believe that was a good capital allocation given favorable interest rates on debt and the ability of our business to generate cash in light of current business initiatives in order to paydown and service such debt. During fiscal 2017, one of our initiatives has been to generate additional cash flow through the optimization of inventory and other efforts to make our business more efficient in its use of capital to support operations. Our current efforts to generate more cash flow in our business include rationalizing our SKU count and reducing overall levels of inventory, which involves selling slower moving, discontinued and other inventory through markdowns and through our outlet channel. We have also undertaken initiatives to optimize our distribution network and make significant improvements in the way that we handle merchandise in the distribution and delivery part of our business. We expect that these improvements will result in operational efficiencies in the handling and transportation of merchandise and will enable us to achieve greater efficiency and lower requirements for carrying inventory to meet customer demand. We plan to lower our new Gallery opening cadence to three to five Galleries per year, which we believe will result in improved deal economics, lower build out costs and higher returns and will lower our capital requirements and execution risk over the course of our real estate transformation. We also believe the slower opening cadence will put less pressure on our infrastructure, enabling greater capital discipline throughout the organization. In addition, we have a number of assets that can be sold to third parties in order to generate cash. We expect to transition from a lease to a development model and may enter into sale leaseback transactions with respect to certain real estate that we own, for example, and may enter into capital or operating leases in lieu of purchasing or holding certain assets that are used in our business. We intend to continue to seek out and evaluate opportunities for effectively managing and deploying capital in ways that support and enhance our business initiatives and strategies.

~~Pursue International Expansion.~~ We plan to strategically expand our business into select countries outside of the United States, Canada and the U.K. in the future. We believe that our luxury brand positioning and unique aesthetic will have strong international appeal.

In fiscal 2016, we made several strategic investments and changes to our business model in order to strengthen our brand and position the business for growth in the future. Our fiscal 2016 results also reflected the effect of temporal issues that we faced, including the costs related to the launch of RH Modern; the timing of recognizing Membership revenues related to the transition from

~~a promotional to a membership model; efforts to reduce inventories and rationalize our SKU count; and the decision to move our 2016 Source Book mailing from the spring to the fall.~~

In fiscal 2017, we have continued our efforts to optimize inventory and rationalize our SKU count. In the nine months ended October 28 2017, net revenues increased 14%, of which 3 points of growth was related to higher outlet and warehouse sales stemming from our accelerated inventory optimization efforts. While our higher outlet revenues and inventory optimization efforts had a positive impact on revenues and working capital in the first nine months of the year, they had a negative impact on margins and earnings.

Additionally, in fiscal 2017, we expect incremental revenues from the four new Design Galleries opened in 2016, our new Design Gallery in Toronto which opened in October 2017, and the Design Gallery in West Palm Beach which opened in November 2017. The majority of our new Design Galleries under development include a dedicated floor for RH Modern as well as an RH Hospitality offering including restaurants, wine vaults, and pantries, similar to our successful hospitality offering at RH Chicago, The Gallery at the Three Arts Club.

Stores data represents retail stores, including Waterworks showrooms, plus outlet stores. Net revenues for outlet stores, which include warehouse sales, were $41.2 million and $36.0 million for the three months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively, and were $148.4 million and $99.1 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively.

~~Direct revenues include sales through our Source Books, websites, and phone orders, including our Contract business and a portion of our Trade business.~~

~~(3)~~

Comparable brand revenue growth includes direct net revenues and retail comparable store sales, including RH Baby & Child and RH Modern Galleries. Comparable brand revenue growth excludes retail non-comparable store sales, closed store sales and outlet net revenues. Comparable store sales have been calculated based upon retail stores, excluding outlet stores, that were open at least fourteen full months as of the end of the reporting period and did not change square footage by more than 20% between periods. If a store is closed for seven days during a month, that month will be excluded from comparable store sales. Membership revenue was included in comparable brand revenue growth beginning April 2017, which is the first full month following the one-year anniversary of the program launch. Waterworks revenue was included in comparable brand revenue growth beginning June 2017, which is the first full month following the one-year anniversary of the acquisition.

Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, ~~GAAP.~~generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We define adjusted net income as net income, ~~(loss),~~ adjusted for the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted net income is included in this 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~~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. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, ~~(loss),~~ the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted net income for the periods indicated below.

~~Represents a non-cash compensation charge related to a fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in May 2017.~~

~~(b)~~

(a)

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for GAAP purposes for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2014 (the “2019 Notes”) ~~and~~, for the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”) and for the $335 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2018 (the “2023 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and ~~2020~~2023 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 and ~~2020~~2023 Notes over their expected lives. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and ~~2020~~2023 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes and ~~2020~~2023 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of ~~$0.8~~$0.7 million and ~~$0.6~~$0.8 million during the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 and ~~October 29, 2016,~~August 4, 2018, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of ~~$2.3~~$1.4 million during both the six months ended August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018. The 2019 Notes matured on June 15, 2019 and did not impact amortization of debt discount post-maturity.

(b)

Represents the acceleration of depreciation expense of $1.9 million and ~~$1.9~~$4.9 million ~~during~~due to a change in the ~~nine~~estimated useful lives of certain assets in the three and six months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019, respectively. The six months ended August 3, 2019 includes a $0.5 million charge related to the termination of a service agreement associated with such assets. In addition, the three and ~~October 29, 2016, respectively.~~

six months ended August 3, 2019 include an asset impairment of $0.6 million.

The nine months ended October 28, 2017 includes an adjustment to calculate income tax expense at an adjusted tax rate of 35.4%, which is calculated based on the weighted-average fiscal 2017 quarterly adjusted effective tax rates. The adjustments21% for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~October 29, 2016 represent~~August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018 in order to facilitate year over year comparison of operating results on a comparable basis with historical results at a consistent tax rate across time periods.

(2)

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 and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the ~~tax effect~~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.

RH Segment net revenues

RH Segment net revenues increased ~~$42.1~~$64.7 million, or ~~8.1%~~10.7%, to ~~$563.2~~$672.3 million in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 compared to ~~$521.0~~$607.6 million in the three months ended ~~October 29, 2016.~~

~~A number of~~August 4, 2018. The below discussion highlights several significant factors ~~contributed to the increase~~that resulted in increased RH Segment net revenues, ~~during the three months ended October 28, 2017, including,~~which are listed in order of ~~magnitude, the introduction of new product categories and the expansion of~~magnitude.

RH Segment core net revenues increased primarily due to existing ~~product categories, the performance of our new Design~~ Galleries, ~~and an increase in retail weighted-average leased selling square footage,~~ as well as an increase in retail weighted-average selling square footage related to new store openings, including New York, Nashville and Yountville, and we experienced better than expected delivered sales in the last few weeks of the quarter. Net revenues also increased from our RH Hospitality operations and Contract ~~business which represents~~business.

RH Segment outlet sales increased $16.0 million to ~~commercial customers.~~

~~Outlet sales, which include sales via warehouse locations, increased $5.1~~$53.9 million in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 compared to $37.9 million in the three months ended ~~October 29, 2016. We also had an increase in Membership revenue recognized of $4.6 million.~~

~~The above increases were partially offset by an approximate 1% negative impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma~~August 4, 2018 primarily due to ~~store~~increased promotional activity as a result of our efforts to reduce inventory subsequent to the distribution center closures ~~and lost sales.~~of as part of the distribution center network redesign, as well as an increase of four outlet locations year over year.

RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended August 4, 2018 were negatively impacted by $1.9 million related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls.

Waterworks net revenues

Waterworks net revenues increased $1.0 million, or ~~3.5%~~3.0%, to ~~$29.3~~$34.2 million in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 compared to ~~$28.3~~$33.2 million in the three months ended ~~October 29, 2016. Waterworks net revenues represented 4.9% and 5.2% of our net revenues for the three months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively.~~August 4, 2018.

Gross profit

Consolidated gross profit increased ~~$38.5~~$26.6 million, or ~~21.9%~~9.9%, to ~~$214.3~~$295.0 million in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 from ~~$175.8~~$268.3 million in the three months ended ~~October 29, 2016.~~August 4, 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin ~~increased 4.2%~~decreased 0.2% to ~~36.2%~~41.7% of net revenues in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 from ~~32.0%~~41.9% of net revenues in the three months ended ~~October 29, 2016.~~August 4, 2018.

RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 was negatively impacted by ~~$3.6~~$1.9 million related to ~~inventory charges~~the acceleration of depreciation due to a change in the estimated useful lives of certain assets. RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018 was positively impacted by $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to reserve adjustments associated with product recalls initiated in prior years, partially offset by the reduction of revenue and ~~$0.5 million related to~~incremental costs associated with ~~anticipated distribution center closures.~~ such product recalls.

Waterworks gross profit for the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016~~August 4, 2018 was negatively impacted by ~~$0.2~~$0.2 million ~~and $1.8 million, respectively,~~ of amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition.

Excluding the acceleration of depreciation, the product recall ~~costs, costs associated with anticipated distribution center closures~~adjustments and the impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, consolidated gross margin would have increased ~~4.6%~~0.4% to ~~36.9%~~42.0% of net revenues in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 from ~~32.3%~~41.6% of net revenues in the three months ended ~~October 29, 2016.~~August 4, 2018.

The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to changes in product mix and deleverage in occupancy costs.~~August 4, 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased ~~$10.7~~$4.5 million, or ~~6.7%~~2.4%, to ~~$171.2~~$191.0 million in the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 compared to ~~$160.4~~$186.5 million in the three months ended ~~October 29, 2016.~~

~~RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses~~

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.7 million, or 7.2%, to $159.1 million in the three months ended October 28, 2017 compared $148.4 million in the three months ended October 29, 2016.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 28, 2017 included $1.4 million related to costs associated with anticipated distribution center closures and a gain of $0.8 million related to the sale of building and land. ~~RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 29, 2016 included $1.0 million associated with a reorganization, including severance and related taxes.~~

~~Advertising and marketing costs increased $9.8 million during the three months ended October 28, 2017 as compared to October 29, 2016, primarily due to~~ the timing of our Source Book mailings. In the third quarter of fiscal 2017 we amortized costs related to our 2016 Interiors Source Book which was circulated in the fall of 2016. The 2016 Interiors Source Book mailing was complete in mid-December and therefore resulted in amortized costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, whereas the third quarter of fiscal 2016 did not incur similarly timed expenses.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 28.2% and 28.3% of net revenues for the three months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively, excluding the costs associated with anticipated distribution center closures, the gain related to the sale of building and land and the reorganization costs mentioned above. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by leverage in employment and employment related costs and, to a lesser extent, leverage in our corporate occupancy costs, partially offset by an increase in advertising and marketing costs.

~~Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses~~

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million, or 0.6%, to $12.1 million in the three months ended October 28, 2017 compared to $12.0 million in the three months ended October 29, 2016.

~~Loss on extinguishment of debt~~

We incurred a $4.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended October 28, 2017 due to the repayment in full of the second lien term loan on October 10, 2017, which includes a prepayment penalty of $3.0 million and acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $1.9 million.

~~Income tax expense~~

Income tax expense was $6.2 million and $1.8 million in the three months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively.

Waterworks results include non-cash amortization of $2.1 million and $5.2 million related to the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with our acquisition of Waterworks during the nine months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively.

~~Net revenues~~

Consolidated net revenues increased $221.7 million, or 14.3%, to $1,769.9 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 compared to $1,548.2 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. Stores net revenues increased $137.5 million, or 15.8%, to $1,010.1 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 compared to $872.7 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. Direct net revenues increased $84.3 million, or 12.5%, to $759.8 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 compared to $675.5 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. Comparable brand revenue was 7% for the nine months ended October 28, 2017.

~~RH Segment net revenues~~

~~RH Segment net revenues increased $181.4 million, or 12.1%, to $1,680.5 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 compared to $1,499.1 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016.~~

A number of factors contributed to the increase in RH Segment net revenues during the nine months ended October 28, 2017, the most significant of which was our decision to move the mailing of our 2016 Interiors Source Book to the fall of 2016. The 2016 Interiors Source Book mailing was complete in mid-December and therefore was a contributor to net revenues in the first three quarters of fiscal 2017, whereas the first three quarters of fiscal 2016 did not benefit from a similarly timed mailing.

~~In addition, the following factors resulted in increased~~ ~~RH Segment~~ ~~net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.~~ Outlet sales, which include sales via warehouse locations, increased $49.2 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 compared to the nine months ended October 29, 2016, representing 3.3% of growth in RH Segment net revenues. Increased outlet sales occurred primarily as a result of our inventory optimization efforts as we increased our outlet promotional activity, including through warehouse sales, and we increased outlet selling square footage by approximately 32% compared to the prior period. Additionally, the performance of our new Design Galleries and an increase in retail weighted-average leased selling square footage contributed to the increase in RH Segment net revenues. Net revenues also increased related to deeper markdowns on discontinued merchandise based on our continued efforts to rationalize our SKU count. We also had an increase in Membership revenue recognized of $18.2 million.

RH Segment net revenues for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 were negatively impacted by $3.8 million related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls. During the nine months ended October 29, 2016, RH Segment net revenues were reduced by an estimated $16 million due to customer accommodation and related expenses as a result of our initiative to elevate the customer experience, including in response to production delays related to RH Modern. We did not experience similar production delays during the nine months ended October 28, 2017.

~~Waterworks net revenues~~

On May 27, 2016, we acquired a controlling interest in Waterworks. As a result of this acquisition, we acquired 15 Waterworks showrooms and included such additional retail stores in our weighted-average leased selling square footage for both the nine months

ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016. Waterworks net revenues increased $40.3 million, or 82.2%, to $89.4 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 compared to $49.1 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. Waterworks net revenues represented 5.1% and 3.2% of our net revenues for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively. The increase in Waterworks net revenues is primarily due to the nine months ended October 28, 2017 representing thirty-nine weeks of results, whereas the nine months ended October 29, 2016 only includes twenty-two weeks of results as Waterworks was acquired on May 27, 2016.

~~Gross profit~~

Consolidated gross profit increased $107.3 million, or 22.2%, to $590.4 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from $483.1 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 2.2% to 33.4% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from 31.2% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 29, 2016.

RH Segment gross profit for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 was negatively impacted by $8.2 million related to the reduction of revenue, incremental costs and inventory charges associated with product recalls and $0.5 million related to costs associated with anticipated distribution center closures. RH Segment gross profit for the nine months ended October 29, 2016 was negatively impacted by $7.7 million related to the estimated cumulative impact of coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim alleging that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards. The coupons expired in March 2016.

~~Waterworks gross profit for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016 was negatively impacted by~~ ~~$2.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively,~~ ~~of amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition.~~

Excluding the product recall costs, costs associated with the distribution center closure, impact of the coupons redeemed in connection with the legal claim and amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, consolidated gross margin would have increased 1.9% to 33.9% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from 32.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 29, 2016.

~~RH Segment gross profit~~

RH Segment gross profit increased $88.4 million, or 18.9%, to $555.8 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from $467.4 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin increased 1.9% to 33.1% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from 31.2% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. Excluding the product recall costs, costs associated with anticipated distribution center closures and impact of the coupons redeemed in connection with the legal claim mentioned above, RH Segment gross margin would have increased 1.8% to 33.5% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from 31.7% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 29, 2016.

The increase in gross margin was primarily due to incremental shipping charges incurred during the nine months ended October 29, 2016 related to RH Modern production delays and our investment to elevate the customer experience. In addition, our merchandise margins were impacted by our SKU rationalization efforts that had a reduced impact on our margins this year compared to last year, partially offset by higher outlet and warehouse sales driven by increased promotions and higher discounts. During the nine months ended October 28, 2017, we experienced occupancy leverage in our fixed distribution and retail occupancy costs, partially offset by increased outlet occupancy costs.

~~Waterworks gross profit~~

Waterworks gross profit increased $18.8 million, or 119.6%, to $34.6 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from $15.7 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. The increase in Waterworks gross profit is primarily due to the nine months ended October 28, 2017 representing thirty-nine weeks of results, whereas the nine months ended October 29, 2016 only includes twenty-two weeks of results as Waterworks was acquired on May 27, 2016. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin increased 6.6% to 38.7% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from 32.1% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. Excluding the impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, Waterworks gross margin would have decreased 1.6% to 41.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 from 42.6% of net revenues in the nine months ended October 29, 2016. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to changes in product mix and deleverage in occupancy costs.

~~Selling, general and administrative expenses~~

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $71.0 million, or 15.5%, to $528.2 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2017 compared to $457.2 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016.August 4, 2018.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased ~~$56.5~~$4.3 million, or ~~13.0%~~2.5%, to ~~$489.4~~$177.4 million in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 compared ~~$433.0~~$173.2 million in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October 29, 2016.~~August 4, 2018.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 included ~~$23.9~~a favorable $1.2 million legal settlement related to historical freight charges, partially offset by a ~~fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in May 2017, $0.1~~$0.6 million ~~incremental costs associated with product recalls, $1.4 million costs associated with anticipated distribution center closures and a gain of $2.1 million related to the sale of building and land~~.asset impairment.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October 29, 2016~~August 4, 2018 included ~~$5.7~~a favorable $7.2 million ~~associated with~~legal settlement, net of related legal expenses, partially offset by a $1.7 million charge related to the supply chain reorganization, including ~~severance~~the closure of the Dallas customer call center, and ~~related taxes, $2.8~~$0.3 million related to ~~charges~~product recalls.

Excluding the adjustments for the legal settlements, asset impairments, reorganization and expenses incurred as a result of the Waterworks transaction, and $1.0 million related to the estimated cumulative impact of coupons redeemed in connection with a legal claim alleging that the Company violated California’s Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971 by requesting and recording ZIP codes from customers paying with credit cards.

~~Advertising and marketing costs increased $26.9 million during the nine months ended October 28, 2017 as compared to October 29, 2016, primarily due to~~ ~~the timing of our Source Book mailings. In the~~ ~~nine months ended October 28, 2017~~ we amortized costs related to our 2016 Interiors Source Book which was circulated in the fall of 2016. The 2016 Interiors Source Book mailing was complete in mid-December and therefore resulted in amortized costs in the ~~nine months ended October 28, 2017, whereas the nine months ended October 29, 2016 did not incur similarly timed expenses. In addition, we had an increase in employment and employment related costs.~~

product recalls mentioned above, RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~27.7%~~26.5% and ~~28.2%~~29.3% of net revenues for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 3, 2019 and October 29, 2016, respectively, excluding the fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in May 2017, the product recall costs, costs associated with anticipated distribution center closures, the gain related to the sale of building and land, the reorganization costs, the charges and expenses incurred as a result of the Waterworks transaction, and the impact of coupons redeemed in connection with the legal claim mentioned above.August 4, 2018, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by leverage in our employment and employment related costs as a result of our organization redesign and, to a lesser extent, leverage in our corporate ~~occupancy costs, partially offset by an increase in~~expenses and advertising and marketing costs.

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses

(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt

We recognized a $1.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended August 3, 2019 due to the maturity and settlement of the 2019 Notes in June 2019. We incurred a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended August 4, 2018 due to the repayment in full of the LILO term loan, the promissory note secured by our aircraft and the equipment security notes in June 2018, which includes acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.6 million and a prepayment penalty of $0.3 million.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $16.7 million and $2.5 million in the three months ended August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 20.7% and 3.9% for the three months ended August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily due to lower discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October 28, 2017 representing thirty-nine weeks of results, whereas~~August 3, 2019 as compared to the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~October 29, 2016 only includes twenty-two weeks~~August 4, 2018, as well as a discrete tax impact related to the legal settlement in the three months ended August 4, 2018.

Net revenues

Consolidated net revenues increased $106.7 million, or 8.9%, to $1,304.9 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019 compared to $1,198.2 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018.

Consolidated net revenues for the six months ended August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018 were negatively impacted by $0.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls. Excluding the product recall adjustments, consolidated net revenues increased $105.3 million, or 8.8%, to $1,305.3 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019 compared to $1,200.1 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018. 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 $102.4 million, or 9.0%, to $1,236.0 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019 compared to $1,133.6 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that resulted in increased RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.

RH Segment core net revenues increased primarily due to existing Galleries, as well as an increase in retail weighted-average selling square footage related to new store openings, including New York, Nashville and Yountville. Net revenues also increased from our RH Hospitality operations and Contract business.

RH Segment outlet sales increased $28.4 million to $109.5 million in the six months ended August 3, 2019 compared to $81.1 million in the six months ended August 4, 2018 primarily due to increased promotional activity as a result of our efforts to reduce inventory subsequent to the distribution center closures of as part of the distribution center network redesign, as well as an increase of four outlet locations year over year.

RH Segment net revenues for the six months ended August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018 were negatively impacted by $0.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls.

As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 0.5% to 40.4% of net revenues in the six months ended August 3, 2019 from 39.9% of net revenues in the six months ended August 4, 2018.

The increase was primarily related to improvements in our ~~acquisition~~distribution center network redesign resulting in reduced delivery expense and leverage in occupancy costs, as well as improvements in our core merchandise margins. The overall increase was partially offset by lower outlet product margins due to increased promotional activity and higher discounts due to our efforts to reduce inventory subsequent to the distribution center closures.

Waterworks gross profit

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 3, 2019 included a favorable $1.2 million legal settlement related to historical freight charges, partially offset by a $0.6 million asset impairment and a $0.5 million loss on disposal of an asset.

Addtionally, RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 3, 2019 included advertising and marketing costs which increased $6.0 million primarily due to an increase in circulation and pages of our Source Books. This was partially offset by a decrease in corporate expenses of $1.7 million, primarily due to reduced preopening expense associated with our Design Gallery openings and other corporate costs.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 4, 2018 included a favorable $5.3 million legal settlement, net of related legal expenses and a $0.8 million reversal of an estimated loss on disposal of asset, partially offset by a $1.7 million charge related to the supply chain reorganization, including the closure of the Dallas customer call center, and $0.3 million related to product recalls.

~~Loss~~(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt

We recognized a $1.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the six months ended August 3, 2019 due to the maturity and settlement of the 2019 Notes in June 2019. We incurred a ~~$4.9~~$0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~October 28, 2017~~August 4, 2018 due to the repayment in full of the ~~second lien~~LILO term loan, ~~on October 10, 2017,~~the promissory note secured by our aircraft and the equipment security notes in June 2018, which includes ~~a prepayment penalty of $3.0 million and~~ acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of ~~$1.9~~$0.6 million and a prepayment penalty of $0.3 million.

Income tax expense ~~(benefit)~~

Income tax expense was ~~$9.9~~$28.5 million and $10.1 million in the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~October 28, 2017 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.6 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2016.~~August 3, 2019 and August 4, 2018, respectively.

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. WeIn fiscal 2017, we completed ~~our first~~two share repurchase ~~program~~programs in an aggregate amount of $1 billion. A $300 million share repurchase was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and ~~completed our second~~a $700 million share repurchase ~~program in an amount of $700 million~~was completed during the second quarter of fiscal ~~2017 (refer~~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).~~below. We intend to 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 ~~$650~~$635 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding, of which ~~$350 million mature in June 2019 and~~ $300 million mature in June 2020 and $335 million mature in June 2023. Based on anticipated strong cash flow generation in 2019 and beyond, we expect to repay the outstanding principal of the convertible notes at maturity in June 2020 and June 2023 in cash to minimize dilution. While we anticipate using excess cash, free cash flow and borrowings on our revolving line of credit 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. 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. We believe the strength of our business and the reduction in leverage we have achieved during the past year puts us in a strong position to take advantage of the capital markets opportunistically. We believe we have multiple financing alternatives available to us on favorable terms that could provide us with additional financial flexibility with respect to capital allocation.

We extended and amended our revolving line of credit in June 2017, which has a total availability of ~~$600.0~~$600 million, of which ~~$10.0~~$10 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a ~~$200.0~~$200 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from ~~$600.0~~$600 million to up to ~~$800.0~~$800 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. ~~In addition, we have an $80.0 million last out, delayed draw term loan (“LILO term loan”) facility.~~ The revolving line of credit ~~and LILO term loan facility have~~has a maturity date of June 28, 2022.

In July 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the “second lien credit agreement”) with respect to an initial term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $100.0 million with a maturity date of January 7, 2023 (the “second lien term loan”). Refer to ~~Second Lien Credit Agreement~~ ~~below. The proceeds of the second lien term loan were used to support our share repurchase program. We repaid this debt in full in October 2017.~~

We believe that cash expected to be generated from operations, net cash proceeds from the issuance of the convertible senior notes, borrowing availability under the ~~revolving line of~~asset based credit ~~borrowings under our term loan~~facility and other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures and other capital needs for the next 12 months.

Our business has 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 have pursued in the past, and may pursue in the future, additional strategies to generate liquidity for our operations, including through the strategic sale of assets, utilization of our credit facilities, and entry into new debt financing arrangements that present attractive terms.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we received cash of $4.9 million for the sale of an aircraft, net of $0.3 million of costs to dispose of the aircraft, which was classified as asset held for sale, and during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 we received cash of $10.2 million for the sale of a real estate parcel that we owned on which one of our retail Galleries was located, which was classified as asset held for sale. We may pursue strategies in the future, ~~pursue additional strategies,~~ through the use of existing assets and debt facilities, or through the pursuit of new external sources of liquidity and debt financings, 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 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 ~~next generation~~ Design Galleries, which may require us to undertake upgrades to historical buildings or construction of new buildings. ~~During fiscal 2016, we spent $157.6 million for~~

Our~~2019, primarily related to our efforts to continue our growth and expansion, including construction of new Design Galleries and infrastructure investments. We anticipate that our fiscal ~~2017~~2019 adjusted net capital expenditures will be partially offset by ~~cash flows~~proceeds from ~~operating activities. Our efforts~~sales of assets of $50 million to ~~optimize inventory and reduce capital spending generated substantial free cash flow in~~$60 million. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~October 28, 2017, and we expect~~August 3, 2019, adjusted net capital expenditures were $52.8 million, inclusive of cash received related to ~~generate additional free cash flow for~~landlord tenant allowances of $15.7 million.

Certain lease arrangements require the ~~remainder~~landlord to fund a portion of the ~~year.~~

~~The majority of the current~~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 ~~significant~~ contributions directly from our landlords related to the building of our ~~larger format and next generation~~ Design ~~Galleries in fiscal 2017.~~Galleries. As we develop new Galleries, as well as ~~potentially~~ other potential strategic initiatives in the future like our integrated hospitality ~~experience;~~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. 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.

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 ~~$650~~$635 million at maturity of such senior convertible ~~notes or our terms loan at the maturity dates of such term loan.~~notes. 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.

Any weakening of, or other adverse developments in, the U.S. or global credit markets could affect our ability to manage our debt obligations and our ability to access future debt. 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. If we fail to raise sufficient additional funds, we may be required to delay or abandon some of our planned future expenditures or aspects of our current operations.

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 ~~nine months ended October 29, 2016,~~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 us 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.

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, 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 will be 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. As of August 3, 2019, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2023 Notes were not convertible as of August 3, 2019. 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.

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.

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 (deficit).

2019 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we ~~have~~had the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $116.09 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $73.3 million. The convertible note hedge terminated upon the maturity date of the 2019 Notes.

The warrants will expire through December 2019. We received $40.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual dilution from the conversion of the 2019 Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price from $116.09 per share to $171.98 per share. As these transactions ~~meet~~met certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges were, and warrants are, recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives.

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. As of August 3, 2019, we had $64.0 million in aggregate amounts outstanding under the equipment security notes, of which $21.5 million was included in other current liabilities and $42.5 million was included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 the 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.

$300 Million Repurchase Program (Completed)

On February 21, 2017, our ~~board~~Board of ~~directors~~Directors authorized a ~~stock~~share repurchase program of up to $300 million (the “$300 Million Repurchase Program”) 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. During the three months ended April 29, 2017, we repurchased approximately 7.8 million shares of our common stock under the $300 Million Repurchase Program at an average price of $38.24 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $300 million. No additional shares will be repurchased in future periods under the $300 Million Repurchase Program.

$700 Million Repurchase Program (Completed)

Following completion of the $300 Million Repurchase Program, our ~~board~~Board of ~~directors~~Directors authorized on May 2, 2017 an additional ~~stock~~share repurchase program of up to $700 million (the “$700 Million Repurchase Program”) 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. During the three months ended July 29, 2017, we repurchased approximately 12.4 million shares of our common stock under the $700 Million Repurchase Program at an average price of $56.60 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $700 million. No additional shares will be repurchased in future periods under the $700 Million Repurchase Program.

47$950 Million Repurchase Program (Existing)

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”). In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock under the $950 Million Repurchase Program at an average price of $115.36 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately

We enter into operating leases in the normal course of business. Most lease arrangements provide us with the option to renew the leases at defined terms. The table above does not include future obligations for renewal options that have not yet been exercised. The future operating lease obligations would change if we were to exercise these options. Amounts above do not include estimated contingent rent due under operating leases. Our obligation for contingent rent as of October 28, 2017 was $3.6 million.

~~(4)~~

Other non-current obligations include estimated payments for rent associated with build-to-suit lease transactions. These amounts may be reduced in the event we are able to effect a sale-leaseback on any of these locations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of ~~October 28, 2017.~~August 3, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with ~~GAAP~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates, and judgments on an on-going basis. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Management evaluated the development and selection of its critical accounting policies and estimates and believes that the following involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity and are most significant to reporting our consolidated results of operations and financial position, and are therefore discussed as critical:

●

Revenue Recognition

●

Merchandise Inventories

●

Impairment

●

Lease Accounting

●

Stock-Based Compensation

●

Income Taxes

~~Revenue Recognition~~

~~Merchandise Inventories~~

~~Advertising Expenses~~

~~Impairment~~In the first quarter of ~~Goodwill~~fiscal 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02—Leases. The adoption of this standard resulted in a material change to the “Lease Accounting” critical accounting policy in fiscal 2019. Please refer below for our updated “Lease Accounting” critical accounting policy. There have been no material changes to the other critical accounting policies and ~~Long-Lived Assets~~estimates listed above from the disclosures included in the 2018 Form 10-K. 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 2018 Form 10-K.

Lease Accounting

We lease nearly all of our retail and outlet store locations, corporate headquarters, distribution and home delivery facilities, as well as other storage and office space. The initial lease terms of our real estate leases generally range from ten to fifteen years, and certain leases contain renewal options for up to an additional 25 years, the exercise of which is at our sole discretion. In recognizing the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we utilize the lease term for which we are reasonably certain to use the underlying asset, including consideration of options to extend or terminate the lease. We also lease certain equipment with lease terms generally ranging from three to seven years. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

Leases, or lease extensions, with a term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

~~Stock-Based Compensation~~66

~~Income Taxes~~Table of Contents

48We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for real estate leases, and for all other asset classes we account for the components separately. We determine the lease classification and begin to recognize lease and any related financing expenses upon the lease’s commencement, which for real estate leases is generally upon store opening or, to a lesser extent, when we take possession or control of the asset.

~~For further discussion regarding~~As most of our leases do not include an implicit interest rate, we determine the discount rate for each lease based upon the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) in order to calculate the present value of lease payments at the commencement date. The IBR is computed as the rate of interest that we would have to pay to (i) borrow on a collateralized basis (ii) over a similar term (iii) an amount equal to the total lease payments and (iv) in a similar economic environment. We utilize our asset based credit facility as the basis for determining the applicable IBR for each lease.

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels. Due to the variable and unpredictable nature of such payments, we do not recognize a lease right-of-use asset and lease liability related to such payments. Estimated variable rental payments are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We have a small group of leases that include rental payments periodically adjusted for inflation (e.g., based on the consumer price index). We include these ~~policies, refer to~~ ~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~—~~Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates~~ variable payments in the ~~2016 Form 10-K. There~~initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability if such increases have ~~been no material changes to~~a minimum rent escalation (e.g., floor). However, we exclude these variable payments from the ~~critical accounting policies~~initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and ~~estimates listed~~lease liability in the ~~2016 Form 10-K.~~case of lease arrangements that do not specify a minimum rent escalation.

We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties under operating leases and recognize rental income received on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Lease arrangements may require the landlord to provide tenant allowances directly to us. Standard tenant allowances received from landlords, typically those received under operating lease agreements, are recorded as cash and cash equivalents with an offset recorded in lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In certain instances tenant allowances are provided for us to design and build the leased asset. Tenant allowances received from landlords during the construction phase of a leased asset and prior to lease commencement are recorded as cash and cash equivalents with an offset recorded in other non-current assets (to the extent we have incurred related capital expenditure for construction costs) or in other current liabilities (to the extent that payments are received prior to capital construction expenditures by us) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. After the leased asset is constructed and the lease commences, we reclassify the tenant allowance from other non-current assets or other current liabilities to lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Lease Classification

Certain of our real estate and property and equipment are held under finance leases. Lease related assets are included in finance lease right-of-use assets within property and equipment—net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Leases that do not meet the definition of a finance lease are considered operating leases. Lease related assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Construction Related Activities

We are sometimes involved in the construction of leased stores for certain of our newer Design Galleries. Prior to construction commencement, we evaluate whether or not we, as lessee, control the asset being constructed and, depending on the extent to which we are involved, may be the “deemed owner” of the leased asset for accounting purposes during the construction period.

Table of Contents

If we are not the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes during the construction period, such lease is classified as either an operating or finance lease upon lease commencement. During the construction period and prior to lease commencement, any capital amounts contributed by us toward the construction of the leased asset (excluding normal leasehold improvements, which are recorded within property and equipment—net) are recorded as “Landlord assets under construction” within other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 3—Prepaid Expense and Other Assets). Upon completion of the construction project, and upon lease commencement, we reclassify amounts of the construction project determined to be the landlord asset to lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The construction costs determined not to be part of the leased asset are classified as property and equipment—net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

If we are the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes, upon commencement of the construction project, we are required to capitalize (i) costs incurred by us and (ii) the cash and non-cash assets contributed by the landlord for construction as property and equipment on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as build-to-suit assets, with an offsetting financing obligation for the amount funded by the landlord. The contributions by the landlord toward construction, including the building, existing site improvements at construction commencement and any amounts paid by the landlord to those responsible for construction, are included as property and equipment additions due to build-to-suit lease transactions within the non-cash section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Over the lease term, these non-cash additions to property and equipment do not impact our cash outflows, nor do they impact net income within the consolidated statements of income.

Upon completion of the construction project, we perform a sale-leaseback analysis to determine if we can derecognize the build-to-suit asset and corresponding financing obligation. If the asset and liability cannot be derecognized, we account for the agreement as a debt-like arrangement.

Refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards in our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently proposed accounting standards which 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 which bears interest at variable rates and we may incur additional indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. ~~At October 28, 2017, $341.0~~As of August 3, 2019, $145.0 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit. AsThe Credit Agreement provides for a borrowing amount based on the value of ~~October 28, 2017,~~eligible collateral and a formula linked to certain borrowing percentages based on certain categories of collateral. Under the ~~undrawn borrowing availability~~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 August 3, 2019 was ~~$189.0~~$254.6 million, net of ~~$27.7~~$12.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. ~~As a result of the FCCR restriction that limits the last 10% of borrowing availability, actual incremental borrowing available under the revolving line of credit would be approximately $125.2 million.~~ Based on the average interest rate on the revolving line of credit during the three months ended ~~October 28, 2017,~~August 3, 2019, 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.

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under our LILO term loan, which bears interest at variable rates. At October 28, 2017, $80.0 million was outstanding under the LILO term loan. Based on the average interest rates on the LILO term loan during the three months ended October 28, 2017, we do not believe that a 10% change in the interest rate would have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

As of ~~October 28, 2017, we had $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due~~August 3, 2019, ~~outstanding (the “2019 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.~~

~~As of October 28, 2017,~~ we had $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 outstanding (the “2020 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.

As of August 3, 2019, 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.

The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $189.00 per share. Refer to Note 9—8—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 8—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 most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

~~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 ~~17—~~15—Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements within Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results or cash flows. For a detailed discussion of certain risks that affect our business, refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~January 28, 2017~~February 2, 2019 (“~~2016~~2018 Form 10-K”). ~~There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K.~~

The risks described herein and those described in our ~~2016~~2018 Form 10-K 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.

We are undertaking a large number of business initiatives at the same time, including exploring opportunities to expand into new categories and complementary businesses. If these initiatives are not successful, they may have a negative impact on our results of operations.

We are undertaking a large number of new business initiatives at the same time in order to support our future growth. For example, we have developed and continue to refine and enhance our Gallery format, which involves larger store square footage. We also continue to add new product categories and to expand product assortments. For example, in fiscal 2015 we launched our new RH Modern and RH Teen categories and in fiscal 2019 we are launching RH Beach House and RH Ski House. We are currently contemplating other new product lines and extensions. We introduced RH Hospitality in fiscal 2015 at RH Chicago, The Gallery at the Three Arts Club. As of August 3, 2019, six of our RH Design Galleries include an integrated RH Hospitality experience and, based on the success of our hospitality offering to date, we plan to incorporate an integrated RH Hospitality offering, including cafés, wine vaults, and barista bars, in many of the new Galleries that we open in the future. We continue to refine and develop the RH Hospitality model as we seek to optimize this part of our business and its integration with the operation of our Gallery locations. RH Hospitality is different from our traditional home furnishings business and involves evolving strategies that are untested and unproven and may expose us to a number of risks including risks related to the management and execution of food and hospitality operations in various locations where we operate retail Galleries. Although we have experienced a number of

Table of Contents

positive business outcomes from the RH Hospitality operations including the incremental revenue that we believe is driven in Gallery with a hospitality offering, there can be no assurance that these benefits will be sustained or that we will avoid operational or other complications from the hospitality business. There can be no assurance that we will successfully scale RH Hospitality, that we will optimally balance the resources and square footage allocated to our hospitality offerings versus our product offerings at our Galleries, or that our hospitality offerings will be attractive to consumers in our market over a sustained period of time.

We have also embarked on an initiative to expand our product sales to international markets and are currently exploring opportunities for Design Galleries in several locations outside the United States, including the United Kingdom and Europe. International expansion would expose us to new risks, including, but not limited to, risks related to currency fluctuation, supply chain and product sourcing, international economic or political events including but not limited to the U.K.’s impending withdrawal from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit,” that may negatively impact the luxury market, and new regulatory regimes applicable to our products, Galleries and employees. We may be unsuccessful in adapting our operations to address such risks. We also may be unsuccessful in accurately selecting which international markets would support demand for our products or sizing our Gallery openings to such markets. If we are not successful in managing the large number of new initiatives that are underway, we might experience an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, we can provide no assurances that customers will respond favorably to our new product offerings, Galleries or complementary businesses or that we will successfully execute on such business initiatives. Such new business opportunities may not achieve market acceptance or may only achieve market acceptance in limited geographic areas or at certain Design Galleries. In addition, developing and testing new and multiple business opportunities and strategies often requires knowledge in areas of expertise that may be new to our organization and may require significant time of our management and resources. For example, RH Hospitality extended our business into an area where we have had limited historical operating and management experience and where low margins and high customer expectations can put pressure on results and performance. Expanding our business internationally will also require that we develop management expertise in new markets and regulatory regimes, and an inability to adapt our business quickly and efficiently to support our international expansion could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurances that we will be successful in expanding our operations into any new businesses and product lines.

Any new businesses we enter may also expose us to additional laws, regulations and risks, including the risk that we may incur ongoing operating expenses in such businesses in excess of revenues, which could harm our financial condition and results of operations. The financial profile of any such new businesses may be different than our current financial profile, which could affect our financial performance and the market price for our common stock. For example, RH Hospitality may expose us to new risks related to consumer litigation and longer lease terms.

We often have in the past, and may in the future, incur significant costs for any new initiative before we realize any corresponding revenue with respect to such initiative. In addition, we may incur costs as we revise, restructure or discontinue existing product categories or business offerings in favor of pursuing new initiatives or retail concepts. For example, as we continue to open larger format Design Galleries in select major metropolitan markets, we expect to close a number of legacy Galleries and replace them with our Design Gallery format. The introduction of an integrated hospitality experience, including roll out of an integrated food and beverage experience at a new Gallery location often requires significant investments by us before the location is open to customers and able to generate revenues, and we anticipate that a number of Galleries to be opened during the next several years will continue to require this form of upfront investment before they generate revenue from the food and beverage offerings. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we initiated and executed a plan to integrate the RH Contemporary Art (“RHCA”) product line into the broader RH platform and we no longer operate RHCA as a separate division, and as a result we incurred restructuring related costs. To the extent that these new business opportunities do not generate sufficient revenue to recoup the cost of developing and operating such new concepts, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, we are continuing a number of new initiatives to improve the operations of our business, including ongoing refinements to our management structure and organizational design. Some of the improvements we are pursuing include changing the ways we source and deliver our products to our customers, as well as streamlining and realigning the management structure in our home office operations. We have also focused on elevating the customer experience,

Table of Contents

which includes improving our distribution and delivery of products to our customers and architecting a new fully integrated back-end operating platform, inclusive of the supply chain network, the home delivery experience as well as a new metric-driven quality system and company-wide decision data. We have focused on rationalizing our SKU count and optimizing inventory, which includes selling slower moving, discontinued and other inventory through markdowns and our outlet channel, as well as enhancing and optimizing our product sourcing capabilities and adding new management information systems. We also transitioned from a promotional to a membership model, in the early part of fiscal 2016, by introducing the RH Members Program, which provides a range of benefits to our customers in return for payment of an annual membership fee. We introduced the RH Members Program as an alternative to prior practices involving numerous event-driven promotional programs. Although we are extremely satisfied with the results of the RH Members Program to date, this program is still new to our business, and there can be no certainty as to exactly how our customers may react to this program over time or how the RH Members Program will affect our financial results from quarter to quarter.

Given the large number of organizational initiatives we are pursuing, as well as the complexity and untested nature of many of these efforts, there can be no certainty that we will be successful in executing on these initiatives including changes to our organizational design and management structure. We may not experience the operational or financial benefits we expect these improvements to generate and we may face unanticipated costs related to pursuing these initiatives such as personnel turnover, management distraction, or compliance and quality control risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

All of the foregoing risks may be compounded due to various factors including any economic downturn. If we fail to achieve the intended results of our current business initiatives, or if the implementation of these initiatives is delayed or abandoned, diverts management’s attention or resources from other aspects of our business or costs more than anticipated (including, as a result of personnel turnover or compliance and control risks), we may experience inadequate return on investment for some or all such business initiatives, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with our dependence on foreign manufacturing and imports for our merchandise.

Based on total dollar volume of purchases, in fiscal 2018 we sourced approximately 85% of our merchandise from outside the United States, including 73% from Asia, with approximately 39% of our products sourced from China and approximately 3% of our products sourced from Mexico, and in fiscal 2017 we sourced approximately 85% of our merchandise from outside the United States, including 76% from Asia, with approximately 42% of our products sourced from China and approximately 3% of our products sourced from Mexico. We expect the amount of products that we source from China will be lower in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018, but the exact product mix in terms of vendor factory locations is subject to a range of different factors and is inherently difficult to predict with accuracy. In addition, some of the merchandise we purchase from vendors in the United States also depends, in whole or in part, on vendors located outside the United States. As a result, our business highly depends on global trade, as well as any trade and or other factors that impact the specific countries where our vendors’ production facilities are located. Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain our existing foreign vendor relationships and to develop new ones based on the requirements of our business and any changes in trade dynamics that might dictate changes in the locations for sourcing of products. In addition, we face risks related to the ability of our vendors to scale their operations whether in connection with new products we introduce or new production manufacturing locations that may be added to our supply chain, which in some cases would require substantial ongoing investments to support additional capacity. In addition, we have previously encountered difficulties in the ability of our vendors to scale production commensurate with demand from our customers. While we rely on long-term relationships with many of our vendors, we do not rely on long-term contracts with our vendors and generally transact business with them on an order-by-order basis.

Many of our imported products are subject to existing duties, tariffs, anti-dumping duties and other similar trade restrictions that may limit the quantity or affect the price of some types of goods that we import into the United States. In addition, substantial regulatory uncertainty exists regarding international trade relations and trade policy, both in the United States and abroad. An introduction of new duties, tariffs, quotas or other similar trade restrictions, or increases in existing duties or tariff rates, on products imported into the United States, whether actual, pending or threatened, may have a negative impact on our results of operations. Significant uncertainty exists as to whether and when tariffs may be

Table of Contents

imposed, and what countries may be implicated. For example, proposed tariffs on goods imported from Mexico have been introduced and subsequently withdrawn by the U.S. government. Additionally, such uncertainties, even if not directly applicable to our imported products, may have a negative influence on the domestic and international economy generally and indirectly reduce market demand for our products.

A significant subset of our products sourced from China has been affected by increased levels of tariffs that were imposed in 2018 and 2019. The initial round of these increased tariffs became effective on certain products that we source from China including furniture and lighting initially as a 10 percent ad valorem duty on September 24, 2018, which amount increased to 25 percent on May 10, 2019, and is expected to increase further to 30 percent on October 1, 2019. On August 1, 2019, President Trump announced a new 10 percent ad valorem duty on additional categories of goods imported from China, which amount was then increased to 15 percent on August 23, 2019. The new tariff at the rate of 15 percent became effective September 1, 2019 with respect to certain categories of goods and is expected to become effective for additional categories of goods on December 15, 2019.

While we have been working with our vendor partners on mitigation strategies to seek to address the impact of the tariffs on goods imported from China, such efforts may not be fully sufficient to remediate the impact of the existing ad valorem duty on certain products imported from China or the future ad valorem duties to be imposed on products from China. In addition, such mitigation efforts may not be successful with respect to other pending or future increases in tariffs. There is substantial uncertainty regarding the possible application of additional tariffs with respect to China, or the possible imposition of tariffs on trade with additional countries other than China. We may not be able to anticipate the exact contours of tariffs and other burdens on global trade that may become applicable and our efforts to respond to these circumstances may be inadequate. In particular, we may not be able to receive or sustain adequate pricing concessions from our vendors with respect to applicable tariffs and any applicable pricing increases that we seek to pass through to our customers may not be successful in achieving our objectives. Our sales may fall in response to any price increases and our vendors may not be able to support the level of pricing concessions that we seek.

In addition, we are undertaking ongoing efforts to examine our sourcing strategy in a comprehensive way in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for our business. Such efforts include addressing among other factors the country of origin and the current and potential future imposition of tariffs with respect to particular countries of origin. These efforts to optimize our supply chain may not be successful and we may encounter various obstacles to these and other related initiatives. Although we have moved some of our merchandise sourcing away from China to other countries, these efforts may not achieve the desired outcomes. For example, we may not be able to move sufficient quantities of our product manufacturing to new locations outside of China and the quality of products manufactured in new factories may not meet the requirements of our business. In addition, we may encounter logistics and other challenges in moving manufacturing to new jurisdictions including the potential imposition of new tariffs on products sourced from such other jurisdictions.

In addition, there can be no assurance that tariffs that are imposed or proposed will not become effective on a longer term basis. In the event that any tariffs applicable to our business become applicable on a longer term basis, there can be no assurance that our efforts to mitigate the impact of such longer term tariffs will be successful.

There can be no assurance that we will not experience disruption in our business related to tariffs or other changes in trade practices and applicable rules or as a result of our efforts to respond to these matters. Tariffs and other similar trade actions are inherently unpredictable and can change quickly based on political or economic pressures or policy changes. Any changes to tariffs or other rules and practices related to cross border trade, including the possible implementation of additional tariffs, could materially increase our cost of goods sold with respect to merchandise that we purchase from vendors who manufacture products in China or other countries outside the United States, which could in turn require us to increase our prices and, in the event consumer demand declines as a result, negatively impact our financial performance. While we may seek to adopt mitigation measures and changes to our business practices to seek to counteract the effect of such tariffs on our business and results of operations, due to multiple factors that can occur in the context of trade disputes and the inherent unpredictability of how customers and market participants may respond, any mitigation measures we adopt may be not achieve their intended purpose. Certain of our competitors may be better positioned than us to withstand or react to these kinds of changes including border taxes, tariffs or other restrictions on global trade and as a result we may lose market share to such competitors. In addition, to the extent that our competitors, our vendors or companies in other industries that manufacture products in China respond to the tariffs imposed to date or the possibility of future tariffs by shifting production to other countries in Asia or to other regions, the costs of

Table of Contents

production in such countries may increase, which may increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse impact on our product supply chain. Similarly, to the extent that we or our vendors respond to the tariffs imposed to date or the possibility of future tariffs by shifting merchandise purchases or production to other countries in Asia or to other regions, we may face delays or costs associated with developing new vendor relationships and our vendors may face delays or costs associated with bringing online new manufacturing facilities, which may increase the cost of our products or cause delays in the shipment of our merchandise that result in the cancellation of orders by our customers. An interruption or delay in supply from our foreign sources, or the imposition of additional duties, taxes or other charges on these imports, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations unless and until alternative supply arrangements are secured. Due to broad uncertainty regarding the timing, content and extent of any regulatory changes in the U.S. or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our dependence on foreign imports also makes us vulnerable to risks associated with products manufactured abroad, including, among other things, risks of damage, destruction or confiscation of products while in transit to our distribution centers located in the United States, product quality control charges on or assessment of additional import duties, tariffs, anti-dumping duties and quotas, loss of “most favored nation” trading status by our foreign trading partners with the United States, work stoppages, including without limitation as a result of events such as longshoremen strikes, transportation and other delays in shipments, including without limitation as a result of heightened security screening and inspection processes or other port-of-entry limitations or restrictions in the United States, freight cost increases, political unrest, economic uncertainties, including inflation, foreign government regulations, trade restrictions, increased labor costs and other similar factors that might affect the operations of our vendors in specific countries such as China.

In addition, there is a risk of compliance violations by our vendors, which could lead to adverse consequences related to the failure of our vendors to adhere to applicable manufacturing requirements or other applicable rules or government regulations. Any such noncompliance could have an adverse impact on our business and may result in product recalls, regulatory action, product liabilities, investigation by governmental agencies and other similar adverse consequences. Any failure by our vendors outside the United States to adhere to applicable legal requirements or our global compliance standards such as fair labor standards, prohibitions on child labor and other product safety or manufacturing safety standards could give rise to a range of adverse consequences including the disruption of our supply chain as well as potential liability to us and harm our reputation and brand and could subject us to other adverse consequences including boycotts by our consumer or special interest groups including activists, any of which actions could negatively affect our business and results of operations.

Changes to accounting rules or regulations may adversely affect our results of operations.

New accounting rules or regulations and varying interpretations of existing accounting rules or regulations have occurred and may occur in the future. It is difficult to predict the impact of future changes to accounting principles or current accounting practice and the exact impact of such changes may not be what we anticipate. A change in accounting rules or regulations may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective and future changes to accounting rules or regulations or the questioning of current accounting practices may adversely affect our results of operations. For example, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the adoption of which materially impacted the timing of recognizing advertising expense related to direct response advertising, including costs associated with our Source Books. In addition, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842) in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the adoption of which materially impacted our financial statements including (i) our consolidated balance sheets due to the initial recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities for our operating and finance lease arrangements, (ii) our consolidated statements of income, specifically cost of goods sold and interest expense—net, primarily due to the change from the build-to-suit lease transactions under the previous accounting guidance to the new finance lease classification treatment, and (iii) our cash flows due to amortization and interest expense for our operating and finance lease arrangements and classification of landlord assets under construction. For information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards in our condensed consolidated financial statements within Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

The adoption and application of new accounting standards can expose us to certain risks similar to the risks we face with respect to our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and any failure in our adoption or application of new accounting rules or the maintenance of effective internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls could expose us to material risks including the inability to accurately report our financial information and results of operation in a timely manner. Our results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these and similiar risks including, to the extent we experience any increases in costs or diversions in managerial or personnel resources in order to adopt new accounting rules or regulations or to adopt and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls.
